02:20:36
Welcome to Miami feat The Wolf of Street

Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh host "Welcome to Miami," debating Jeff Bezos's potential presidency, LeBron James's Atlanta incident, and the GameStop short squeeze with guest Jordan Belfort. They analyze how Section 230 protects platforms after Belfort's legal victory against Prodigy, critique Jimmy Kimmel's corporate shift, and discuss the incestuous ties between Wall Street, Washington, and billionaires. Ultimately, the episode suggests modern market manipulation and political power dynamics stem from a system where wealth is often newly minted luck rather than generational stability.

Welcome To Flagrant Dost 00:05:05
Welcome to Flagrant Dost, baby.
We in Miami.
Hey, bro, what's our theme song, Akash?
Welcome to Miami.
And we back, okay?
We started the podcast about two hours ago, but your boy got a little drunk.
I was on that terra mana.
I don't know what the fuck happened.
I started explaining AMC, GameStop, short this.
I'll give you something short.
What?
What?
My dick.
Oh, thank you, Akash, for saving me.
Legend.
Hey, hit that wide so they can see this studio, Al.
Shit is so fire, dog.
Hey, this shit is so fire.
Fire, bro.
Are we top two?
No, we ain't, we ain't.
No, no.
Are we top two?
Yeah.
Meaning, like we wanted two.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
We wanted two.
Oh, we want and two.
This is one and two.
Dove is even in the building.
Yeah, new Taylor.
Dove lined it up, bro.
He really did.
Taylor Taylor.
We're not here without David.
Do we have Taylor 2?
Do we have Taylor 2.0?
We got Taylor 2.0.
Doesn't take notes, just sits down, truffles.
Yeah.
You even got a lot of people.
I got a mic, bro.
Mom's been working for us for half a year, did a Netflix special.
He didn't even get a mic.
He said, get the USB cam.
You took my little sister to prom.
I got the mic.
That's all.
That's all I did.
Stay up here to prom.
That's a shitty hall that happened.
Nothing else.
That trade is not worth it, though.
You don't think so?
Nothing.
I was a gentleman with your sister.
Probably because she looked like Dove.
Ain't nobody trying to fuck Dove.
Golly.
Put my sister on screen when this podcast lands.
My sister actually do this.
It's fire.
You know what's mad?
You can't be angry at that because then it insults you.
That's the perfect dick.
But I'm a good brother.
I've never seen her.
Put my sister on her.
How am I insulting her by saying she looks like you?
Nah, I don't think you ought to.
Put it on.
Don't put her out there for the family.
She's married, bro.
She got kids.
Does she have kids?
They love the attention.
It's okay.
Nah, We're playing the bachelor with all doves family.
Let's go.
Oh, that actually is not a bad idea, bro.
You got some pieces in your family, dude.
Thank you.
That's disrespectful because he's seen your family.
It's not disrespectful.
Your mom's a beautiful woman.
Beautiful.
Beautiful woman.
Oh, shit.
Let's pull up a picture.
Stop it.
Yo, ever since we got to Miami.
Akash got crazy, bro.
You got something in your loins down here, dog.
Hey, bro.
You've been a horny kid.
I've been a horny.
You've been horny ever since we got down here, dog.
I think it's the climate.
I think in this climate, yo, your girl getting pregnant.
I can't wait, dog.
Guaranteed.
Before we leave here, she's pregnant.
Oh, I can't wait.
Where are you living again?
Went in Rome.
You know what I mean?
Went around the Latins.
Do as the Latins.
There's two billion Indians.
Y'all know that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, chill, chill.
I just said, there's like 100,000 Puerto Ricans out there.
There's 2 billion Indians.
Don't bring up good points.
Shit.
Hey, welcome to Flagrant Those.
We're out here.
Listen, like I said, we started the podcast a little while ago, and then we had to run it back.
Okay.
A lot of things we need to talk about.
A lot of times, you know, a lot of things have changed in the last couple hours.
Oh, yeah.
You know, there's some big news out there.
Number one, obviously, we're going to talk about the whole GameStop situation.
Okay.
Matter of fact, we already had the conversation with the most flagrant Wall Street expert that probably exists.
In history.
In history.
He is Flagrant Finance.
He is Flagrant Finance.
You might have known him.
You might have seen a movie made about him, you know, starring a strapping young gentleman named.
Should I give away the name?
No, no, no.
Because really, right now, there's only two movies that he could be thinking about.
You might think it's Steve Crow and the big short.
That's also true.
He talked to Steve Crowell.
There's three movies.
There's three movies that this man could be about.
Okay.
It's Wall Street, Wolf of Wall Street, and The Big Short.
Yeah, could be Gordon Gecko.
Who knows?
It could be Gordon Gex, you know, whose son is riddled with the HIV.
Really?
Yo, is it Charlie Sheen?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Gordon.
Yeah, but that's not his son.
That's not his son in the movie or in real life.
I don't know.
Nah, you just said somebody.
Kirk Douglas is not Kirk Douglas.
That's his protege in the movie.
That's not his son.
No, in real life, that's Charlie Sheehan.
That's Martin Sheen's son.
It's the same guy, bro.
Stop acting like they're different.
I'm like, what?
No, no.
Two guys could not be more different.
In Miami, we're doubling down.
They all got AIDS.
Buddy.
You can't just start claiming people like AIDS.
You cannot be that homophobic on the podcast.
No, one has throat cancer and one has the HIV.
We call AIDS throat cancer, Doug.
When did you not know that?
What do you think these gays was doing in San Francisco?
You ever been to Throated.com?
Come on.
A glory hole is for one thing.
Yeah.
What do you call HIV?
Huh?
We call it the him.
One has the him.
Okay, fair enough.
Point is Asian flu.
Has that been said?
That's hilarious.
Has that not been said?
I don't think so.
Bro, with the amount of buttons we got button on this show, we probably all sick with that shit.
Positive tests.
Homophobic Claims On Air 00:15:07
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Like Argosh's pregnancy test.
He's about to take in a month.
Can't wait.
Or two months.
What part of Florida are you staying in?
Hollywood.
Hollywood, Florida.
Hollywood.
That's what he's doing.
Hollywood, baby.
I'm the Hollywood.
He's got that Hollywood, baby.
Oh, shit.
Wait a minute.
Holy is a holiday.
Indian holiday.
Yep.
What do you celebrate on Holy?
Blasting shit all over people's faces.
There we go.
That's what I'm talking about, Mark.
Way to put two and two together.
Yeah, LeBron James, baby.
We're Cleveland.
And we're transitioning to LeBron stories.
We're on a different level.
Mark is coked up now.
He's still at home, baby.
He's still at home.
Look, so we're going to talk about obviously GameStop, all that shit later.
There's been big news, man.
We're going to talk about LeBron.
Obviously, we're going to talk about LeBron.
Oh, yeah.
Obviously, we're going to talk about all the ex-Patriot players saying that we were right.
And the Patriot way is the Tom Brady way.
It's not the Belichick way.
Obviously, we're going to go.
What a great call that was by you.
Honestly, it seems like the GOATs just go to Florida.
That's all I'm saying.
Dove, off of your phone.
You're almost on camera.
It's crazy.
I did not know Chappelle was here.
That's wild.
That's where he got the COVID.
It makes sense.
But in all seriousness, I'm just saying, you know, Tom Brady goes down to Florida.
We come down to Florida.
We're doing good work.
We're doing good work.
We're killing it, yo.
Maybe we start out with a story about our next president.
Oh, shit.
You think so, huh?
I mean, if you're stepping up from the most successful company in the history of companies, yep.
There's no reason for you to step down.
There's nothing going on.
Your life is easy.
You got a divorce.
You're tagging this new chick.
You got way more money after the divorce.
Everything has worked out perfectly for you.
Yeah.
Everybody seems to love Amazon, despite the fact that it's clearly a monopoly.
Yeah.
But you've convinced the American public that it's not because we're getting shit for cheap, even your competition.
Super free, super fast.
Matter of fact, thank you for the wallpaper.
Killed it with that.
Maui Leaf.
Is it Maui Leaf?
Maui Leaf.
Maui Leaf.
You even had enough for Mark's shirt.
Mark made a whole button down out of the wall.
Get it, Mark.
Mark thought we were going to Australia.
He had no clue that Miami's in the middle of the day.
Crocodile Dundee over here.
That's what you're going on.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
That is what you're going on.
Point is, Bezos is stepping down from Amazon.
And I can't think of any other reason besides he thinks there's going to be a vacancy in, well, no, he thinks there's going to be a potential, not a vacancy, but he thinks there's going to be potential for another outsider to win the presidency.
I love it.
I'm not even a big Bezos guy, but I love it.
You need to run the government like a cutthroat company.
Do you, though?
I don't know if you do.
I kind of think you don't.
I think that, are you sure?
That's literally what Trump did.
Trump is like, I'm just going to support the people who buy things at my business.
And then half the country was like, we don't like that.
My brain freaked out because it sounded like you were making a good point.
It just kind of stopped thinking for a second.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But here's what I'm saying.
Wait, was that a good point?
I don't know.
It sounded like you pointed the knife at me.
I got flustered.
Everyone's looking at the knife at a non-white.
Son is so much fun.
I'm talking about a point.
You pointing a point.
But I'm just saying, like, usually, you know.
What happens if you smash one or the other?
Does it make the...
Well, let's try.
Let's go.
Oh, that's a knife.
That shit is fire, dog.
Yo, if you're listening to this podcast, step your game up, bro.
You know what I mean?
I mean, don't stop because those are great, too.
But also, YouTube, you get to see all this, the new set.
You might see Dove's foot pop into the wire every once in a while.
We haven't given him a camera just yet, though.
He might be earning his keep.
The point being.
I mean, he offered up his sisters to be on the podcast.
And his own mother, beautiful woman, beautiful woman.
He says desperate for the limelight.
I would even say stunning.
Really?
Thank you.
I would even say.
Put them on screen.
I'm vowing.
I would even say esmoke escho.
I would even say esmoke escho.
Madre.
Madre le sorelas.
Is she in Miami?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, geez.
Martin said that.
I would never say that.
Okay.
I would never say that.
Martin said that.
I did not.
I know she's in Miami.
She doesn't date black guys.
What's wrong with you?
Point being, do you think Bezos could run?
And do you think that's what he's planning for?
Here's what I was trying to get.
The point I was getting to.
If you've seen government, like anybody who works a government job, they get nothing done.
It's the least efficient thing on earth.
Government programs, completely inefficient.
They pay the least, of course.
Tax money gets used so inefficiently.
I think you need a corporate guy to be like, hey, let's fix all this shit.
And a corporate guy who's already made all their money.
The reason why you often don't have talent in the public sector is because those people go to the private sector and they make 10 times the amount of money.
Why would I organize the DMV when I could be organizing or I can be doing consulting for some crazy bills?
You can just sell cars and make billions of dollars.
Boom.
100%.
I still think that Bezos has realized I've made all the money I can make.
I've done everything I can do.
Okay.
I've divorced my wife and made it back.
Oh, yeah.
Once you divorce your wife and you make it back and then some, you think you're unstoppable.
It took like a calendar year.
It didn't even take time.
One pandemic.
He started one pandemic.
Dude, what if he started the pandemic?
He was like, bitch, you thought you got cut to the wise.
Show Thanos.
Yo, Thanos is low-key?
Yo.
Low-key, you don't even know you're doing it, bro.
See how I just did it?
You don't even know you were doing it, yo.
Harry Potter made us.
No, it's just that one.
Harry Potter.
No.
Come on.
Dude, Dove is disgusted the way that I'm holding this Arabian sword, bro.
He's absolutely disgusted.
Come on, this should be used to be chasing your people out of the Holy Land.
Yeah, and circumcising babies.
When we see that.
That's what they use their teeth for, bro.
Come on.
We look at ISIS hostage videos when you're just like, hey.
Why did the Jews not have a knife?
Every other culture in Arabia has a knife.
Yep.
Why don't you guys have a sword?
Because they have a marriage.
We don't need weapons.
We talk our way out of everything.
You just talked your way in order in and out like you've done this podcast.
Exactly.
Nobody invited Dove to Florida.
All of a sudden, he's managing the podcast.
It is true.
He's just in the middle of the studio.
He's staying with me.
Who got you in the studio?
How Jewish is this guy?
He's not paying any rent.
Nope.
He got us.
He's our real estate guy.
He just reminded me of something.
Not only he just finds a way to stay.
He's staying with me.
And of course, my girl loves him because he's so fucking lovable, this guy.
And like, he's almost kind of like a girl, but also like a guy.
He's a real chameleon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he, I go, I go, Yeah, yeah, you're going to stay in the pool house, whatever, like that.
And he goes, I bet, babe, I go, I go, well, yeah, dude.
He's like, you're not paying anything.
You're just going to stay in the pool house.
It's great to bless.
He doesn't send a word yet.
He's just speaking in, I'm speaking in trauma.
It's no, but you haven't paid me.
He's speaking in truffle.
He's speaking in truffle.
Yeah.
100%.
He's speaking in truffle.
What do you mean I haven't paid?
Can I tell you how my Jew brain works?
Yes.
Okay, so you can admit to your followers, your audience, who got the studio and negotiated for the house.
Your boy, right here, right?
So you negotiate for that house very to me.
You negotiated for that house.
No, no, the house is a good thing.
But that was a combination.
That was an older.
Old school combo.
We were doing one here for myself.
I've been doing one too for a while.
So Dove's letting Andrew stay at his place?
No, I'm not possible.
I'm going to stop.
House, I'll share it.
Oh, no.
House, I'll share it.
This is not Palestine.
You can't just come spit this shit up.
Whoa!
That's a geopolitical joke.
The way that my mind works for the actual studio is what the retail cost was.
I'm sorry, I got it.
One second, Alex.
This is all I ask you: is that we slowly take a little bit more of Dove's angle away from him in each podcast until there's almost none left.
Okay, technically, we are sharing it.
It's an angle we're sharing.
You know what I mean?
Not in the shot, not in the shot.
All that's left is a nose on the frame.
Okay, so Dove, you've finagled away to potentially.
Is this the shot?
I love it.
You've finagled.
Why are you Zig Highland, dude?
Hell, though.
Too soon implies there will be a time.
Oh, that goes against never forgetting.
Geneva communication.
Never again.
Never again.
Never forget it.
That's your elephant he rode in on.
Yes.
For his wedding.
Wait a minute.
Yo, my he rode an elephant at his wedding, bro.
They never forget.
Oh, I thought when he was at Elva, I thought you were talking about Dove and his dude.
Having Dove here for having an equally sized nose to me makes me feel so comfortable.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Dove's the opposite of a Sphinx, bro.
He's all nose.
Bro, I have a picture when I was in Egypt of me sitting or standing parallel to the Sphinx, and it's just my nose that fills in.
I got a post.
Anyway, it's great to be here.
Yo, Miami, thank you so much.
Shouts to y'all.
We appreciate you keeping this shit open.
Yeah, keeping it open and just like it's amazing.
For everybody out there that doesn't realize what it's like to be in a state that doesn't give a fuck about Corona, you feel, for lack of a better word, like a huge queer if you wear a mask.
Did you guys get that?
Have you felt this at all?
No, not at all.
I haven't really been out, though.
I'd have been chilling for the most part.
But yeah, I heard somebody say they got yelled at for wearing a mask in like Naples, Florida.
Like the way you get yelled at for not wearing a mask.
Not wearing a mask is inverted.
They were like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Why do you believe this shit?
I was at a hotel, a hotel in Down or Midtown or whatever, Miami.
I would walk in and I would see if the person at the front door would ask me to put the mask on.
And every time, it's just a test, I just wouldn't wear the mask.
Hello, sir.
Welcome back to the hotel.
Wouldn't even ask.
The people at the front desks wouldn't even ask.
It was almost as if it was like an inconvenience to you to ask.
Yeah.
We went to the restaurant.
Didn't even.
While you're talking to the people at the restaurants, they take their mask off so that they can communicate more clearly.
Wow.
Am I the only one that's been witnessing this?
A little bit, yeah.
I haven't been out, though.
He's been going to high-star restaurants every night, bro.
I mean, yeah.
This is my life, guys.
Don't even let me.
Did I tell him before the car I'm driving?
Oh, yeah.
I told him the car about it, bro.
Yo, I'm out here with bougie wheels, bro.
Yo, you doing it.
I'm fucking doing it.
Y'all made fun of it.
Yeah, for sure.
It's a BMW, bro.
I got three letters for you.
B.
And then.
M.
And then?
W.
Yeah, dude.
B is also the series that it is.
Yo, we don't need to go there.
Hey, hey, we didn't need to go there with it.
Hey, bro.
We didn't even talk about it.
It's basically a hatchback.
Bro, I got a hatchback.
It's all good.
You know?
Hey, what kind of car is your dream car?
I'm going to take a hatchback, yo.
I love a hatchback.
I love me a hatchback.
Watch your hair.
I basically got a minivan.
I basically got a minivan and not even like the seven or the five.
I got the three fit into all the spaces.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
A little parking spot says compact.
I got it.
Hey, I'll take it from here.
You know what I'm saying?
What, Dove?
Dove's kind of beat me.
Yeah.
Dove's like, oh, you think you're gay?
What did you get, Dove?
I got a Mini Cooper convertible.
Bro, he got mini in the word, dude.
Mini in the title, dude.
Who would do that?
Golden doodle.
Who is Yorkie?
A Yorkie name cookie?
I have a teacup, Yorkie.
That I've adopted.
Okay.
And then the doodle, we already told the story, but you almost killed it.
Now we'll save that for another person.
I didn't like the competition.
You got a mini Cooper, bro.
Mini Cooper.
You think he's trying to compensate?
Drop top.
No, he's eating my schme.
You think he's trying to compensate?
Be good.
He's trying to compensate.
For being fat.
Oh.
That's a shot fire.
Yo, Dove was flabbergasted that you said that, son.
Yo, that man's ghastly.
I beat you in pull-ups in Austin.
No.
Yo, that is.
Yo, he just called you the F-word, Dove.
He called you the F-word.
I don't know if he's a fan.
In the most polite way, but Dove was yanking his fat ass up, but I think there is some.
No, no.
I think he does have people.
He bent the bar down so it actually was easier for him, I think.
I was thinking that there was some momentum thing he was doing where, like, if he just got hit, if he got a little bit of tug up, his titties would just levitate and do the rest.
What if he just lifted his chin up and his nose went over the ball?
That was what I was doing.
I was doing that.
And what I would do is when I get the nose over the bar, I just breathe it and I suck in the rest of it.
Yeah.
I think Dove was stuck in orbit and it kind of just pulled him up a little bit.
Beat both of you, by the way.
Yeah, he destroyed both of us.
Dove is the most infuriating human being because he's so effeminate and yet will beat most people and most masculine things.
Like in terms of crushing pussy, none of anybody has a chance, but he'll be super gay about it.
So it's like, wait a minute, wait, you and that, like you were going after a girl with another guy, and then that guy is going to have to explain to his friends why you ended up sleeping with that girl.
And I'd go to get my nails done with that girl the next day.
Yeah.
Got to keep it.
She'll regret it.
These girls regret it because he'll judge their house.
He'll be like, ooh, like, this is how you designed it?
What is this?
Ikea?
Ooh, yeah.
Like, is it those are cabinet?
Oh, that's an interesting choice.
Like, oh, did you, did you choose that?
Oh.
Do you pay for the manicure the next day?
Nope.
I'll take it.
Unless they want a complicated thing.
No, in and out, and they clean out under the nail.
Sounds like you're hiding evidence, though.
Hey, I don't know.
You paying for dinner tonight, bro.
Oh, that's you paying for dinner tonight.
With Andrew's credit card, I just took a picture of, bro.
This guy found a way to get my credit card.
Oh, no, man.
This is unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
I don't even want to get into it.
We've got LeBron James to talk about.
Did you guys all see the video?
Oh, yeah.
But would you get heavy from short?
Let's keep it a stack of lack.
Hiding Evidence Under Nails 00:02:59
Bro, you got to break down the story.
You got to break down the story.
Okay.
I can't.
I honestly can't.
She was yelling, and I just kept seeing it.
I was like, how does her lips even separate, dude?
Look at how big these lips are, dude.
This was crazy.
I thought she was from Space Jam.
I'd like to space jam.
You want to jam into the space in her face?
100%.
I mean, wow.
Okay, so basically, this woman was sitting courtside with her husband.
Yeah, he's like a businessman in Atlanta.
Pretty sure, yeah, he was the one with the tickets.
And what makes you think that?
You said tickets are titties.
No, no, no.
He was the one with the tickets.
He's the one with the tickets and titties.
Alex is one of the titties.
Yo, Al, you are stacked.
Son, you are stacked.
Yo, real talk.
If you waxed your chest, we could take salacious photos and leak them on the internet 100%.
You want to tit fuck me?
Say what?
You want to tit fuck me?
Bro, I might have too much girth.
That was insulting to my girth, bro.
I might be too girthed out for you.
Son, nah.
No, he's got that tick on the rogue, bro.
I got that snapple, bro.
I got that raspberry, dude.
I got some snappo raspberry for you, bad.
If it was your nose, it might not fit.
There's no way I could nose tips 100%.
No way.
I have your titties looking sideways, bro.
But in all seriousness, Allie's got a ba day.
Now, this chick back here with the Labios, she's got a great set of lips on her.
Okay, which this is just so crazy, man.
This is your thing.
It is.
Why would it not be my fake lips?
You're a weirdo.
Listen, I don't.
All right.
We in Miami.
Well, I'm supposed to lie.
I'm supposed to start the podcast in Miami by lying, Akash.
Is that what I'm supposed to be?
I'm supposed to be acting like I'm someone I'm not, sitting here in a Cuban nit fucking t-shirt.
I'm supposed to be a fake person drinking the rocks tequila.
Ring post.
Yeah, they should put an embargo on your outfit right now.
Why would I get in there?
So this girl was sitting next to her very wealthy husband who felt entitled enough to talk shit to LeBron James.
Okay.
Now, I'm the type of motherfucker.
LeBron got them both thrown the hell out.
Okay.
She started talking shit to LeBron.
She was defending her husband, which low-key.
Because he did not.
He said, I didn't want them to get thrown out.
Yeah.
I mean, he said he didn't think that they should get thrown out.
After the fact, but he was like, yo, they were the ones talking reckless.
They were talking crazy.
Now, she alleges that he said some wild shit back to her.
He says, shut the fuck up, bitch.
Is what she said.
And low-key coming from someone who's been heckled at the comedy shows.
I've reacted in a similar way.
Someone said worse.
Man, someone said, there are some clips we cannot put out.
Oh, man.
I wish you pushed that button.
Saving Money With Earnest 00:03:12
It's ready to go anytime you're ready.
I've talked about the DC one, right?
No, Philly.
Philly, I heard you talk about on the five because that one was crazy.
No, that one I fell in love with.
That was a waitress, right?
We could push that button.
It was like his wife committed suicide.
What was the thing that happened?
Probably after you kicked her out of that, you became a dead wife.
You became a werewolf halfway through the show.
I turned.
I changed.
That's what it was.
It was terrifying.
And you know what?
It is what it is, but it also happened in D.C.
Yeah.
Remember in DC with that one girl?
Which one?
We didn't even make it as part of the crowd work special because we were all like, everything is good up until here, and then it's too crazy.
Yeah, sometimes it was wild in TC, but she was a wild girl.
And she wasn't stacked with no DSLs like this girl right here.
Some no-lip.
To me, this bitch got some no-lip fucking cocoa animation looking bitch.
Goddamn Edward scissor lips.
You can't be talking shit like this.
Get out of here.
Come on now.
Look like a freshly shaved pussy, bro.
You need that bow.
You need that.

AkashSing.com to buy tickets.
Now let's get back to the real talk.
I can't even say what I want to say because it's incriminating, but you could find anybody's OnlyFans on Reddit.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
You found Al's OnlyFans?
No, I would pay for it.
No, but anybody's OnlyFans on Reddit.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me just say it's not OnlyFans.
You know what I mean?
There's more.
Reddit as well.
Basically, Dove shared than OnlyFans from some Twinsies.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You would find a way around paying these hoes.
That's such a dove move, ain't it?
Really is a Dove move.
It's on brand as fuck.
But he busted out the nudes from these little Checardinis.
Yes, maybe.
Maybe they are.
Maybe they're not.
We're not exactly sure.
And you see Vajin from the front.
You don't see it open, but you see it from the front.
Bro.
Bro, a little oatmeal cookie sandwich.
What?
A little oatmeal cookie cream pie.
A little oatmeal cream cookie.
Lil Debbie, a little Debbie.
She's a little Debbie.
She had a little Debbie down there.
Oh, is that what you got an oatmeal cookie stamina?
Is that what you're working with down there?
Oh.
Hey, I don't know exactly what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I know.
You know, when you sit in, when they're looking at you straight, and then you're like, oh, is there a little plastic packaging on that?
Because you got an oatmeal cookie stamp.
I don't know why Duff would do this.
I don't know why Duff would do this.
That's disrespectful for Dub.
I'm glad you said it my way, son.
That would be too much.
Do you think Surge, you think, got that plasty?
Say, what?
Did she get the plasty, the snip, snip?
Oh, you think she got some sort of surgery on her vagina?
Have you heard of this?
I have.
Okay, yeah, that's not what.
I have heard of such a thing.
Do you think that's what I'm saying?
You're saying you have it.
You can do whatever you want to the outside, but if the inside don't feel good, I don't know what you could do to the inside.
Can you make the inside snatch?
Can you make the inside?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You work on your pelvic floor.
You work on your what?
Your pelvic floor.
You do kegles.
You work on your pelvic floor?
Keegles?
Fellas?
Why you put an extra C in there?
Keekles.
Kegels.
Yeah.
All I'm trying to say is, I don't know what my girl's been doing to her pelvic floor, her ceiling, or the walls, but I've become in fast lately, guys.
I think I need to be in a colder time zone.
I really do.
Is it time zone?
No, it's time zone.
It's time zone.
I think my longitude or latitude is off.
In the north, it's like your dick is frozen and then it thaws inside and that gives you a little extra time.
It's like a defrost.
When you're in Miami, it's good to go.
Maybe all of our dicks got bigger because of mine didn't.
Okay.
That's it.
Hey, boys, we back.
We in Miami.
Shout to your pelvic floor, sluts.
What?
Not all of them got pelvic floors that's lit.
Do you know what I mean?
Some of them out here in the old wood, bro.
Son, they might have the old wood.
You know, it's possible that they got a little, what's the apartment with the big ceilings?
Loft?
Loft.
Some of y'all got a loft.
Some of y'all got a pelvic loft.
You be in the pelvis like, yo, there's some room in here.
Is this a carport?
You got like a trundle bed somewhere.
All right.
So, LeBron James.
Yeah.
Wrong for kicking this girl out.
No, fuck this bitch.
Whoa, bro, bro, bro.
Yeah.
Bro, we in Florida, bro.
That's someone's wife, dude.
Yeah, that's a richest one.
No, it's someone's wife.
That was a rapid wife.
That's his piece.
That can't be his wife.
It was his wife.
That's why she was barking for so much.
She was like, you're not going to talk shit about my man.
Low-key?
She's a ride or die, bro.
I respect her.
Yeah.
She's going to get her husband killed.
Like, those are the type of girls that get their husband killed.
Because she got to recognize who her husband is fighting for.
I will fuck you up.
It's like, bitch, stop.
Just stop.
But now you're going to put me in a situation where I got to fight for you.
LeBron James was trying to walk away from this.
70-year-old versus LeBron J.
I know, son.
That's crazy.
Who do you think got that in a fair one?
If they were shooting a fair one, who do you think got that?
I'll give it to him.
No, I'll give it to the shorty.
No, she looks feisty, so you think she's feisty?
You think they start wrestling?
She just starts sucking her thing.
Bro, she can take so many punches to the face, bro.
She got the fucking.
Punches are dicks.
Oh, bro.
No, but the punches, the lips, they almost got like a buffer, dude.
It's true.
That's true.
Bro, you got to look at her lips.
They look like an airplane pillow, dude.
It's unbelievable.
I love that.
You would wrap it around your neck to take a nap.
More than my nap.
Guys, guys, I'm engaged.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
You guys are crazy.
Once we got to Miami, y'all started acting crazy.
Uh-uh, no.
You started acting crazy.
Nope.
This motherfucker found a way to match a Yankee fitted to a floral shirt.
I don't know how the hell this guy got it in him.
I don't know how.
I'll start playing songs.
So the point is, we've got a few different people here that we have to talk about.
One, LeBron James, is he wrong for kicking people out?
Never.
Nah.
Honestly, he's the franchise.
It's his venue.
He's the reason y'all came to the fucking thing and decided to almost get Corona in the first place.
And if you are talking crazy to him, that's not what you paid a ticket price for.
You're not paying to talk shit to the athletes.
Nope.
What are you paying for?
You're paying to watch the fucking game.
Yeah.
Kick your ass out if you make him feel uncomfortable.
Now, so the dude, Cornball, the chick standing up for her man.
Yeah, she's dope.
I respect it.
She doesn't realize the cost to that sometimes.
That's what I'm saying.
She's going to get him into a fight that he's going to have to take.
And he get his ass whooped.
He's going to get his ass whooped.
And he looks like he can handle himself.
So she's going to get more bold.
She's going to be a little.
And she probably sees a bunch of people being sycophantic to him than a regular some rich dude.
Sick of fans.
Sick of Fantic.
You know whoever gave him that hookup from the courtside seats.
He ain't getting it back.
You don't think he's getting it back?
He's paying crazy bread.
Come on, dogs.
How is he even in there?
The fucking stadium was empty.
That's how rich at the heart.
But it's Atlanta.
You're allowed to have some, which is so stupid because it's bad empty.
Yeah, but bro, I think they're allowed doing like partial seating or whatever, but it's so dumb because if you really thought that if you really thought that these people in the stands could potentially infect the players, why would you have them close to the players, right?
You put them in the back, not in the front row.
That's all court side.
Literally.
You're on the side of the court.
Come on, yo.
And that's where they got her.
She took her mask off and it's like, yo, you're too close to him.
Thank God, though.
Yeah.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Imagine that mask trying to hold that thing, bro.
That's like me trying to talk on the mask.
My nose be popping out.
Like, what's going on over here?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
She has a fan.
She went to your nose of lips.
Say what?
She has the your nose of lips.
Can you say his doves?
Yeah, she got the doves nose of Andrew's nose.
Come on.
Bullying, God.
I tried.
I tried.
I'm the one with the machete.
I was just tagging your joke.
Oh, thanks, bro.
Cheers.
Hey, yeah.
So she's kind of about it.
She's going to get her man in trouble.
The thing that I find interesting is this.
I asked Mark, I was like, yo, can you find out what her man said?
Were you able to?
I couldn't find what he said.
Okay.
But I know what she said.
Now, do you know what LeBron said back?
I looked this up according to, there's an article on this.
This is all according to, right?
I'm not trying to interrupt.
Okay.
But usually, if anybody says anything in the NBA, there's a camera angle that captures it.
Yeah.
Right?
That's why you see the players talking with their jersey over their mouth because they know they're always being filmed no matter what they say.
I find it a little bit interesting, to say the least, that when LeBron James says, allegedly says, fuck you, bitch, to some lady in the crowd, there's not a single angle of him saying it.
Yeah.
I feel like if this was maybe a six-man on a team, maybe some bench player, there might be an angle of him saying, fuck you, bitch, with some audio.
Yeah.
Do you think we'll ever see that angle?
I don't think it exists.
I don't think it exists.
This is why she's called courtside Karen because this is what Central Park Karen did: oh, I was being threatened by this man.
So you think she's making she's trying to get out of trouble.
Yeah.
Oh, like the poor that she is.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, dude.
She's a married woman, bro.
That's something that's not married.
Bro, she's more married than you and your girlfriend.
Ain't no Hindu ceremony.
They don't got no promise ratings.
They don't got nothing.
Bro, you gotta be loving it.
Be respectful, dog.
That is some guy's cum dumpster, bro.
You gotta, come on, bro.
Come on.
Can't just be talking crazy, dude.
Yo, you're right.
I just realized you were talking crazy.
No one did it.
This is so insane when you're talking about women.
We're in Miami.
We respect women down here.
We would never objectify women.
That's not why we would come to Miami for.
There are women out here walking around in bandage dresses, and we are to respect them.
Yes.
We're not supposed to look at their bodies and object.
God damn, bro.
Notice she put on the most beautiful filter she could find.
No, that's just what she looks like.
That's called white women, bro.
Yo, I gosh, I'm on.
I get it now.
I'm on it now.
Bro, Andrew.
I see it.
He gets tricked by Instagram filters.
He gets tricked by filters.
He gets a filter?
He gets tricked.
He's filter.
He gets tricked on the internet more than anyone I've ever met.
Yo, the funniest one.
Do you remember the funniest?
Marquis gay or something.
Let's talk about Mark here.
Yo, Marf, I hate you.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Okay, so it's 10 o'clock at night.
We get a message in the group chats: me, Andrew, Alex, Andrew goes, Guys, emergency.
We all look at our phones.
I didn't say emergency.
He said emergency SOS, exclamation point.
And then we all looked at our phones.
There's a screenshot from a DM that he got from Instagram support with a little blue check with a blue checkbook.
Legit blue check Instagram support.
Instagram support.
Please support.
Also, who follows Instagram support?
That's weird.
I would never follow Instagram support.
That's not something you click following.
It's unreasonable.
Yeah, 100%.
I didn't say emergency.
I didn't say SOS.
7,000 followers, and you guys are making it.
I need help, okay?
How did you get a motherfucking bullet gun?
Okay.
So we look at it, and the message says, you have copywritten stuff on your page.
You have to pull it down immediately.
If you don't respond to this and log in and clear your name, we're going to delete your account in 48 hours.
Okay.
I got one of those from Michael Rappaport's account.
Well, it gets better.
And I didn't know if it was fake, but I ain't responding to Michael Rappaport.
God dork, do I look like?
Put your mask on.
Hold on.
I got one of them from his account, too.
Yo, my man is trying to get us, yo.
He was hat.
Okay, and yeah, you just realized now.
Andrew's like, thanks, Michael.
Appreciate it.
He's always looking out for us.
You've always been the best friend.
I thought Mike was like, I really thought Mike was like, yo, they're really getting on accounts these days.
They're shutting people down.
I mean, my mom, like, they took down Trump.
We're next.
So we look at the name on Instagram is Instagram support.
Yeah.
But then we looked at the at the handle.
The handle.
Obviously, Instagram is going to give you freedom to express yourself whatever way you would want to express yourself.
That's what Instagram is about as a platform.
It's giving power to people.
Robin Hood.
The handle's name is Thomas Mosquito.
Son, I don't know where he's from.
He could be Turkish.
Thomas.
Mosquito.
Mosquito is a reason.
Your last name is Gaganon.
If somebody messaged me from Gaganon, I'd probably be like, oh, this is a fake account.
Mosquito is at least a real thing.
That's a fucking animal.
Oh, man.
It's an answer.
You really did hit the like emergency.
Like, you opened it up with yo, emergency.
That was hilarious.
What's even crazier is someone legit got into my email.
I didn't even tell y'all this the other day.
Someone emailed me on my email.
I only found it in spam.
He's like, I got your email password.
And it was my password.
And I was like, man, what y'all going to do with that?
What would you even do with it?
Like, you're going to look through my emails, bro?
Like, come on.
I didn't send it to y'all.
That's the one you sent.
That's the one you send.
No.
Yes.
I got enough of both of you.
Akash, defense.
Defend me, Akash.
What's wrong with you, dude?
Jesus.
These guys are going to defend me.
That's why we have a fucking sword.
Stop pointing the sword at me.
Yo.
Point is she got mad shoulders on her shirt sparkling, bro.
Yeah, that's what, dude?
Jesus Christ.
That's just her skin glistening.
Yeah, her eyes sparkling, bro.
I love her.
She is a hot piece.
No, dude, I found out she's like 24 years old.
She said she's 25.
She's 24?
Everybody's fighting her because she keeps saying she's 25 and everybody's like, bitch, you're 40.
I have a kid on Instagram.
I went to her Instagram.
Oh, we can't make fun of it.
She has a child.
No, but what I'm saying is, you can't be 24, but your kid is like.
Also, think about how many kids she swallows.
Think about that number.
That's another thing that you're not considering.
She's a real woman that has feelings, okay?
She does.
And she was insulted by LeBron James.
And that's what's important.
This is a Washington glory hole that deserves respect.
Wow.
Mark, is she married?
Is she married?
You saw her.
She's married to the guy.
That's her husband, dude.
This is Atlanta.
It's different down there.
He's 70.
She's 25.
Kid's about nine.
She's not 70.
No, he's 70.
He's 70.
She's 25.
The kid's nine.
I think somewhere like eight or nine.
There's no way.
So she was 16 years old.
He should be locked up if that's the case.
There you go.
One of those two.
Bro.
Either she's lying about her age or he's a criminal.
One of those two.
One of those two, Al.
That's crazy what you just said.
Can you back it up?
Son, we're in Miami.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Are we feeling that?
I think he just backed it up.
I think he just backed it up.
We're in Miami.
All right, so then it's definitely true.
Yeah.
All right, fair enough.
Okay, get this girl off the screen before I unbutton my pants.
You better be crazy.
Cream machete.
Yo, you know what bothers me about this guy is he's he's like Atlanta rich, where he thinks he's the hottest shit in the world.
And if you move to like New York, everybody's like, All right, plebeian, like, get the fuck out of my face.
You're a little $10 million.
Suck my dick.
Yeah.
You're not powerful, bro.
Yeah.
Yo.
You're not Akash.
If you move from New York to Miami, paying two rents, baby.
Motherfucking king, bro.
Two mortgages out this beat.
The kang for everybody but me who got out of his lease.
Yo, yeah, Akash got out of his lease, so I'm like furious.
I was literally looking forward to you being perturbed for the entire time.
I told you I had just signed a lease.
All you said is, good.
Now we're all paying double rent.
Yeah.
That's all you said.
Technically, I'm the only one paying double rent somehow.
Yeah, good for you.
You fucks.
It was your choice.
I guess you're right.
But what a good move.
This is a great move.
It was a great movie.
Double Rent And Lease Drama 00:13:55
Cheers.
We got Neon, dog.
Yo, we got the illest two studios in podcasts.
Yeah, it is true, man.
It is.
And this is number one.
What?
WTF Media is up there.
Yo, Stop, stop.
He's saying WTF Media.
Son, this is teleprompter.
Wait a second.
Son, this is what happens.
Yo, this is WTF Media without Wheezy.
I just want to let you know what it could be.
She's holding you back, bro.
Also, didn't, Al, didn't you set up this studio?
Son, you set up this studio.
Wheezy set up that little Count Chocolate shit there, bro.
Come on.
You see Eden behind the board starting the episode in three.
Shout out to Adam, man.
Thank you, bro.
Come on, Eden.
Come down to Miami.
Be with your people.
We'll hire you.
We'll hire you away from Alex to work with Alex.
What a wild poach.
I know, dude.
You told us you liked him.
You told us he's really good.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second.
Now, usually, I'm not dressed like a Cuban domino champion.
Okay.
Usually, I'm out there looking sexy, and it's because I got my basics on point.
And where do I get my basics?
I get them from Mac Weldon.
All right.
It's simple as that.
I need my tee.
I need a hoodie.
I need socks.
I need any of my male essential basics.
I get them from Mac Weldon.
It is that simple.
Why would I go to 15 different fucking websites to get things that look good and are comfortable and feel good and fit right?
You go to one place, you get the best fabrics, you get the best fit, you get the best feel.
It doesn't fall apart like all the other basics you get from these other places.
They fall apart after two washes.
That's not what Mac Weldon is about.
It is the best.
It is the easiest.
It's the most convenient for you.
I can't imagine doing anything else.
Mac Weldon, no-brainer, simple.
And you know what?
You know what makes it even better?
You go to macweldon.com.
Al, you know what would make it even better?
What is the promotion we're going to give them, Al?
This is what you're going to do.
You're going to go to macweldon.com and you're going to get 20% off your first order.
All you got to do is enter the promo code flagrant.
You go to macweldon.com/slash flagrant, promo code flagrant, 20% off all your essentials.
I promise you're never going to order essentials or basics from anywhere else ever again.
It's as simple as that.
Also, we got shows coming up, baby.
That's right.
You go to deandrewschultz.com.
You're going to see all the new shows.
We're back on tour.
We are packed for February, March.
I think we got some stuff coming up for April.
No, not February.
Sorry.
We got March, April, May, more stuff.
Very excited.
Big announcement coming up soon.
That'll be in maybe a few weeks, maybe even a few months, but we get you there.
But go check it out.
Salt Lake City, it's sold out.
Columbus might be sold out already.
There's a few more that we haven't added to the website.
We're going to add to them very soon.
Yeah.
Tickets are going.
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's crazy out there.
I mean, look, there's lower capacity and more interest.
So it's GameStop out here.
Let's supply more demand.
Let's burst the bubble.
Whatever that shit is.
Bitcoin.
No, we're Bitcoin.
We're something real.
Yeah.
Anyway, go check it out.
We love you.
We appreciate you.
We'll see you on the road.
It's going to get crazy.
Now let's get back to the show.
All right.
So let's, let's, let's talk about this.
Did we even talk about Bezos?
Yeah, he said he's going to be president.
So I think that's what the move was.
I would love a Bezos Trump election or Bezos Cuban election.
I mean, that shit would be so lit.
Bezos and Cuban going at it.
I just think it's interesting to see him step away.
I don't know, dude.
I think anyone that has a ton of money sees Trump and goes, it's not worth it.
So they got to look at it.
I think they all think, I think it's the opposite.
I think they have such egos.
They say, I could do that better.
Maybe.
Howard Schultz thought he did, could, but cornball, dog.
Fucking cornball.
He's a bird.
He's a cornball, isn't he?
We're the cornball.
He's cornball.
Starbucks, dog.
Seattle, get out of here, you cuck fucking nerd.
I care about the people.
He sounds like a great Schultz.
Nah, nah, that's dumb.
Nah, you all got the new update.
Now that we updated is fuck Starbucks.
Coffee bean all day.
Eat a dang alas.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's go.
Fuck Starbucks.
You know how racist Starbucks was?
Yeah.
Remember that then?
Bobby never done that.
And his black history bucks.
Yeah, fuck Howard Schultz, yo.
Yeah.
Fuck you.
All you got is a name.
You're not even my favorite Schultz, right?
I hope.
That one might be a good time.
Bro, I got $250 on a Starbucks code.
Have you had these Cuppu Cheetos?
I mean, this guy's amazing.
But if you're right on, if you're right on Bezos, who are the two people that won COVID?
Bezos for the Democrats.
And on the right side, who could win?
Governor of Florida.
Yo, Santis.
DeSantis finna get that motherfucking run.
That would be a bad thing.
If you want to talk about a political insider that could do it, it's DeSantis.
Now, DeSantis is governor.
Where do you go from governor?
El Presidente.
It's the only president.
And you've actually, you've watched literally the entire world move to Florida.
Right?
Like, low-key, some of there's a meme going around.
It was like, Florida is number one realtor of the year.
And it's a picture of Cuomo.
That's great.
But the same thing with Newsom and all these guys.
Like, you've literally seen the entire world move out here.
And more people are going to move.
We're going to see it.
In the next couple of months, you're going to see it.
We're trendsetters, baby.
I mean, obviously.
We're a little late on the dream, but we're late.
We're the type of motherfuckers to like do it and be like, this is how it's done.
Bro, I mean, this is how it's done.
We're Christopher Columbus, bro.
We showed up.
We're like, yo, we invented Miami.
And there were people here already that were like, yo, shut up, Indians.
I like this strategy.
So we're going to colonize Miami, bro.
Dove already colonizing the studio.
You have a machete.
Dove got this studio and then looked at the one next door and was like, we need that one too.
And I swear to God, I was like, it's a white thing, huh?
That you just like need as much space as possible.
Because Andrew was like, stop giving all our negotiation tactics up, bro.
We still got to get that studio.
Shout out to Ampersand Studios, man.
Thank you so much for housing us.
Yo, shout out to Matthew, man.
And shout out to Matthew's homie that put him on to us.
Right?
Didn't that happen coincidentally?
Come on, Dove.
I just do a math piece of shit.
Yo, Dove, that's fucked up that you don't listen to Matt.
Oh, Emily.
Emily was smart enough when we started discussing deal terms.
She reached back when she was too broken.
Shout out to Matthew.
Shout out to the homie.
Shout out to all of us.
The army for making it popular enough that we got a deal on a studio.
That's the move.
The army.
Hey, bro.
Shout out to all of us, dog.
Shout out to all of us.
Shout out to Schultz, Howard, and Andrew.
We're a team.
We're all part of it.
Hey, bro.
I didn't even think about it.
How much fucking Casamigos, whatever the fuck is that?
I'm taking a lot.
We came in here in the middle of the night.
We took half of the furnishings and we brought it into our studio.
Bro, we got to get Matthew.
We got whole ass plants, giant plants.
We got to get Matthew in here one of these days because it is hilarious.
Y'all look in at the studio right now, and it looks like we bought all this shit.
Yo, I'm going to just say, be honest.
We got the wallpaper from Bezos.
Yeah.
We got the sign.
We got to shout to my boys.
Oh, my God.
I got to get this right, man, because this is vintage something.
I got to get it right.
Proceeds to not even get it.
I'm going to get this right, man.
No, because they came through and they made this fucking sign for us.
On short notice, too.
On short notice.
They were the only ones at underscore vintage roots.
Fire.
Honestly, the sign is fire.
They came through.
They made this shit.
Everybody else was going to take two weeks, going to take three weeks.
They literally stopped production, made this sign in two days.
You got to mold all this neon and piping and everything.
It's amazing what they did.
I've never made a sign, but I think so.
And they got it to us and they beat us down here with the sign.
So thank you so much for that.
But back to us taking everything from this space.
We walk into this amazing space, Ampersand Studios, unbelievable space in Miami.
Very generous to host us.
Very generous to us.
We come in in off hours.
Okay.
It's closed.
No one's here.
The whole place is closed.
Oh, no.
We start taking, I mean, the desk, the trees, these lights that don't even work.
They were working when we took them.
Okay, some things have changed in the process.
Yeah.
All I'm saying is, we made this place absolutely beautiful.
We got the sound panels.
You can't even see it.
If you look over my left shoulder, another cool little thing.
Al, are we there?
Yeah.
You think they see it?
Yeah.
That has sucked.
Okay, now move away.
If they ain't see it, they ain't see it.
Go to the super wide.
You see another ill-ass.
I mean, go to that super wide, bro.
Oof.
Oof.
Ooh, we.
Ooh, we.
All I'm trying to say is.
And a nice gate, too.
They got a nice gate out here.
Mark Dunn ran over the gate.
This guy's day two.
This guy.
I walk.
I'm in here early before all them, obviously.
First person in, last person out.
I don't know if that's always true.
First person in.
He said this the other day when we were packing up the studios.
Yo, first person in.
I just looked at Miles.
I was like, last person out.
See that beamer leaving last, bro.
Leaving last.
The hatchback of Notre Dame, bro.
Just fucking zipping out of here.
Headlights.
So, first person in.
He just comes in so he can make a list of shit y'all did wrong to yell at you about.
And then he leaves.
This guy's the best, bro.
Get it together.
We're sweating.
We're putting up the sign.
Me and Miles, it's so hot outside.
We're in Florida.
It was Crook.
Andrew walks in.
What's up, guys?
Hey, Mark.
So, how did you choose to line up the sign like that?
That's my polite way of saying, you done fucked it up.
You done fucked it up.
Wasn't there an impression of Andrew yelling at people?
It says, I don't even understand.
Like, help me understand what made you think this was the way you were supposed to do it.
Just walk me through.
No, just walk me through.
No, Just answer this.
Just walk me through what you were thinking when you decided to do it this way.
That's all I want to know.
Unbelievable.
I did not do.
I can't even fathom.
I just can't even fathom.
What was I saying about?
I don't know.
We've all just taken it from you at some point, which is, I just, just, I don't know.
It's usually not towards you guys with that.
I wish it was towards us.
It's always towards the most benign shit ever.
It's like the wallpaper.
It's like not fitting perfectly.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, like if something is like put somewhere wrong, I just don't understand.
And Andrew has a funny temper because you'll never actually get mad.
He'll just say the emotion he's feeling.
I only get mad if I'm on Adderall.
When I was on Adderall, I started to get a little snappy.
Actually, though, in fairness.
Shout out, Jacks.
Snappy, dude.
In fairness.
If it's a serious thing, you took Adderall with Netflix, right?
And Tuesday.
Yeah, every day since I've actually fight the addiction.
That's how you drive from New York to Miami.
Let's go.
In three days.
He won't yell.
He'll just say.
In three days.
Five hours a day.
Unless you do it with your wife.
On Adderall.
That's what the problem was.
Oh, that was a problem.
Man, it's hard being in a car, you know, with all the dogs.
He wasn't on Adderall.
He was just on drugs the whole time.
I wasn't on Adderall.
My dogs were on drugs.
I did drug my dogs.
Peter, come for me.
I don't even care.
They were on the Benny's.
Menadroll.
Benzos?
Benadroll.
Not Benzos.
I wish I had Benzos.
If I could have knocked him out completely, I would have.
I love that.
Drugged up dogs, love.
Keep going what you're talking about.
All Andrew will do is just go, I'm fucking furious right now.
I mean, I'm literally shaking.
But this is.
I've never been more mad at myself.
But he won't actually get mad.
He'll just say the emotion.
In defense, if it's a serious thing, he doesn't get mad because Andrew had the right to be seriously mad at me a few times.
When you fuck up, like when you run through the gate of the place that we just came in and ransacked for our studio, when there's nothing else that we could go on, when Dove literally goes, when Dub literally goes, guys, all right, we took a lot of things from the living man.
Why don't we just play a cool, let's just play a cool?
He goes, guys, best behavior today.
Lower the temperature.
That's what he does.
Best behavior.
We didn't come to Miami for low temperature.
You're right.
Welcome to Miami.
Okay.
So you come in, you say, and your little fucking feel bad for me, voice.
I've never done that.
Yeah.
He goes like this.
He goes, he calls me Drew.
He never calls me Drew.
He goes, he goes, he goes, Drew, I'm sorry, man.
I ran through the gate.
I go, what?
I go, what do you mean?
You ran through it.
He goes, I just, I was in the U-Haul and I just ran through the gate.
But you know the feeling like when you, when you smoke and then you try to act, not high.
That's what happens when you crush the gate with you.
Because I was like how do I act, like I didn't just crush the gate with you all, and was I angry?
No, and you weren't.
And when I got crushed by a car, when he got hit by a car on my bike and ruined my life and running angry, how sympathetic of you I. He's not sympathetic, he's never sympathetic, but not that angry though.
You know who I'm sympathetic with, with vehicles, I got hit.
This guy's I got hit.
Nah no no, you ran the fucking light.
Like how is your?
There was no light, there was a stop sign after I got hit.
They put it in how you know, left octagon.
What is that?
Who taught you octagon?
So I think Mark has a problem, obviously, with driving.
But also, when you fuck up, I don't come down.
I get upset, to be honest, when people fuck with what we're doing.
When things are in our control, for the most part, I'm not going, this is unreal.
Biden And The Establishment 00:08:35
This is fucked up.
I'm furious.
But when people fuck with our shit, then I get a little bit upset.
It's just funny because you just dictate your emotions, but don't actually show them.
Yeah, it's very rare.
But when it does come out, it comes out.
Yeah, like a cold dinner in New York.
It's inhabitable.
Uninhabitable.
Also, that.
It's inhabitable and uninhabitable.
That's how bad it was.
Yeah.
This motherfucker.
I got very upset at that.
Dove, what's the matter?
We're here.
What's the angry song?
You don't see me angry.
No, no, no.
What he's saying is true, but shout out Jack's Media.
Shout out to Jack's Media.
They were on the other end with a lot of those phone calls.
But when people fuck with our shit, man, it needs to, you know, the law needs to be laid down.
Got to be handled.
I'm saying it's got to be handled.
What did this, how did this start?
Where did we get to this from?
DeSantis is going to be president, I think.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
So DeSantis, I think he got a shot.
I think that Bezos is definitely going to go for it.
I think he's got nothing to lose.
He's already got the whole scandal out about his wife.
And the fact that Trump had four wives.
Yeah.
It don't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter anymore.
None of this shit matters anymore.
The morality of it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter for the Dems either.
No.
I think the Dems have been exposed as well.
I think people, I think they're just like, okay, we voted for Biden because.
He was the lesser of two evils.
Exactly.
So we're willing to absolve these political figures for their, you know, past transgressions, be them political or, you know, I guess personal.
It's okay as long as they're not as bad as the other guys.
So all you got to do is paint the other guys worse.
They'll vote.
You think these Dems are going to stop using Amazon?
Fuck no.
Nope.
Yeah, and I'm also trying to find the words for this, but Trump said a lot of things and made him unelectable to anybody on the left.
Then we elect Biden, and now we're at war with Afghanistan two weeks in.
So what is Biden?
Like, do people care?
Does anybody care about anything?
Like, I feel like the right-wing news should be sticking everything to Biden, but nobody's even talking about it.
That's good.
Yeah.
Keep going.
No, no, but what does that say?
Like, I think no news is good news.
Yes, but does that mean that the establishment is kind of on the same side regardless?
Like, they could, I think, didn't Biden say $2,000 is coming.
No, there's no more $2,000.
That's been walked back.
Hey, we're not going to intervene in the Middle East anymore.
We're going right back out there.
Yeah, I got a plan for the coronavirus.
There's nothing we can do.
There's no plan.
Fossil fuels.
I'm not going to touch your fossil fuels.
We're not going to do any more federal fracking, right?
This is every election.
This is every president.
Of course.
But I guess what I'm saying is like the news and the way that the news is reacting to Trump, and it was actually really successful in their reaction, right?
Regardless if like Fox News is on Trump's side or not, it doesn't fucking matter.
It's just they were getting fucking ratings by slamming the other side.
The right-wing news organizations have fodder to slam, and it feels like they're not.
I kind of feel if I had to assume, I think it's just the way Biden's going about it.
Because like with the fossil fuel situation, he's like, he's trying to make up the jobs that are going to be lost.
So he's like, yeah, we're moving away from fossil fuels, but I'm going to put programs in place where rejob training and shit like that.
So it's kind of like, hey, I'm not just going to change some shit like Trump did once he walked in.
And you got to deal with it.
I'm going to be like, all right, I'm about to make some changes and I'm going to try to make it work for everybody.
Great point.
My only concern is that usually the news doesn't care about context.
Usually they're going to go off the most salacious line.
But great point.
I just wonder if because Biden is part of the establishment, both parts of the political news aisle are just going, thank God, let's just get shit back to normal.
Calm shit down.
To the Bezos point, though, what I think hope kind of might happen is people are like, all right, cool.
Once we see that it's just back to politics as normal, no matter who we elect outside of the outsider, I want an outsider.
I just don't want one as divisive.
And that's where Bezos, Cuban, all those guys to me hit that middle swath of America that's like, nah, I fuck with this guy.
He's different, but he's not divisive.
Who could not vote for Bezos?
Like, that's the thing.
Even Bernie and them, right?
Like, Bernie and them are saying $15 minimum wage.
So is Amazon.
Now, Amazon is doing it to put pressure on their mom and pop competitors because the mom and pops can't pay $15, but Amazon definitely can.
And they're also replacing them with the robotic workforce.
Of course, exactly.
We're going to have much less workforce.
So whoever is there will pay $15, of course.
But if you're a $15 minimum wage loyalist, like the super left people are, they're satisfying it.
If you're right-wing, this is capitalism on steroids.
Yeah.
I cannot fathom either side, even the extremes of those sides, objecting to Bezos.
Yeah.
This is American industry.
He's not, I don't think in any way, he's like kowtowing to China.
I think extreme left would still hate him because he's so capitalist, but moderately.
They would.
Don't get me wrong.
They'd find a way, but he is still checking off some of their boxes.
Yeah.
I don't think he's running.
I think maybe something's coming down the line where it's like he needs to separate himself or it could fuck with Amazon or something to save.
I agree.
Yeah.
I think that's what's coming.
What do you think it is?
I'm not sure.
You know how they were trying to like break up these big organizations and shit like that.
And you know how he, like, the majority of their money comes from that web shit.
Whoa.
You could be on to something.
What if it's a legacy play?
What if it's, I'm going to get out of my company before it's broken up?
Because I don't want to be the guy.
Yeah, I think that's brilliant.
I don't want to be the guy seated in that position and watch it.
It's not going to crumble, but watch it not become fracture.
Yes.
And I understand that.
If you're at this point, you have this much money and all you're concerned about is legacy.
I'm out.
You can only go down from here in his position right now.
Now he gets to go back to Blue Origin, his spaceship.
I used to see him at all.
He goes to every event for Amazon Prime and wants to spend money for the content, right?
He wants to now compete with Netflix.
Amazon's doing great with original content.
Yes, they are.
He's got things to do.
It's crazy and a little bit scary how big and good all these companies are at everything.
Like SpaceX is also Tesla, which they're going to outer space.
And then they're going to do solar paneling, and that's going to be even bigger than the cars.
Google's going to make a fucking, they make cell phones, start as an internet provider.
God knows what else they're going to do, self-driving cars.
Like they're just, these companies are making everything.
Was it you that said it about the Apple car?
No, the miles.
That they're poaching.
Yeah, they got like this top engineer from Porsche.
Yeah.
So Apple is going for it.
The only way now all these companies aren't even competing within their sector.
They're competing with the other giants.
Okay.
Do you think that the reason why Bezos was able to step down is because Elon took over the number one spot?
Maybe that lifted a burden off him in a certain way where it's like, all right, you know what?
Let's just get the fuck out of here anyway.
I think there might be something there.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Facts.
Well, Elon and Jeff have been going at it for years with SpaceX versus Blue Origin.
But Blue Origin ain't doing nothing.
Nothing.
Low orbit.
What have they done?
No, he trolls them.
Elon trolls.
Bezos's.
There's a fundamental difference between those two, right?
Where I think Bezos wants to take the resources.
I mean, the two space ideas.
Bezos wants to take resources from other planets, bring them to Earth, and Elon is like, nah, we're done with Earth.
Let's go other places.
I think that's the basic difference between the two.
I don't know, but I don't trust Bezos like that.
I fuck with Musk.
I really trust Elon more.
Bezos looks like he's fucking evil genius.
Yo, he's Lex Luthor, dog.
Yeah, he's trying to kill Superman.
He is.
Remember, Superman's a bad guy.
He's trying to steal the moon, bro.
That's what this guy's trying to do.
100%.
Do you really think?
I don't trust him.
I don't know why I fuck with Elon Musk.
I think because he's more, I see him more as a genius than I do Bezos.
Bezos is like, oh, you're great at business.
Elon, I'm like, oh, I see how you're a genius.
They're probably both.
I could be wrong.
He could be a fraud, but that's what I see.
They're probably both equally frauds.
Yeah, Bezos ain't no fraud in terms of being like his business acumen off the fucking chart.
No, both of them are brilliant people.
There's no question.
They're both brilliant people.
And obviously, in order to be that wealthy, you need to have some kind of ethical shortcoming.
Yeah.
Or we maybe just say that and justify it to ourselves.
Maybe that's why we justify why we're not billionaires is because we're ethical.
We're ethical human beings.
Trusting Musk Over Bezos 00:03:09
I could never do that.
But then, you know, you say it all the time.
It's like we have these cell phones made by fucking slaves.
Yeah.
Like our ethics don't stop us from that.
So maybe that's how they view it themselves.
They're like, hey, we're all just part of the system.
Maybe I'm directly asking the slaves to make or telling the slaves to make the phone, but we're doing it indirectly.
We want to be removed from our immorality by as many degrees as possible.
Yeah, that's the American way.
It's like, we know what fucked up shit has to happen in order for us to have $2 gas.
Yep.
But we don't want to stop the $2 gas.
Just keep me away from it.
Yo, you know what's really funny?
It's like we criticize the super left for that.
Like we go like this.
We go like, yeah, everybody should have health care and everybody should have $15 minimum wage, but how are you going to pay for it?
It's like, why don't we ask that question for $2 gas?
Oh, shit.
Right?
Like, literally, we have that.
We are the spoiled brats not asking how mommy and daddy paid for the house, how they paid for the vacation.
And we're totally fine with that.
Hmm.
All right, guys.
We got to take a break for a second because you know we got to flex on you motherfuckers out there.

Listen, we're in Miami.
This is our first episode out here in Miami.
I just fully grabbed my titty.
I don't know if you were on my single trip, but I took a full handful of my titty and I need to get off the bread.
No, you're looking good.
You're looking good.
You're looking a little better.
I'm looking a little older.
I got to get a little cute.
You know what?
Get them little eight cups out of here.
I know.
I'm looking at the diesels, bro.
You were struggling during Netflix, but it looks like you're bouncing back.
I'm bouncing.
That fucking Chick-fil-A on the way down did not help me at all.
And I will say this about Chick-fil-A, and I'm a New Yorker, so I don't have Chick-fil-A often.
It is a treat if I get to have Chick-fil-A.
But I don't know if it's company culture.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but they have an unbelievable way to make you feel like you're in an episode of cheers.
They're so happy, dude.
They're so happy.
But you have to instill that in a worker who's not making that much money.
Like, maybe their HR is really good.
I think they have a way of moving people up that is like a lot of employees end up owning their own Chick-fil-A's or something like that.
Like they do their best to practice their religion essentially within their company.
It's unbelievably beautiful.
It's like it feels what Christianity is supposed to be.
Yeah.
Really, they've modeled the store.
Chick-fil-A is the new Christianity.
I think it is.
Yeah.
The body of Christ.
Exactly.
But no, it is absolutely delicious.
But more than that, the greeter is kind.
Everybody's kind.
Just walked outside and just handed us some napkins.
Hey, I thought you might want some napkins.
Like, you don't have to do that.
He's this sweet old man.
The people behind the desk, the lady behind the register.
And they're kind.
It's also partially a southern thing, I think.
Okay, so they're going to be marginally more kind because they're in the south.
So comparatively for New Yorkers, Al's shaking his head.
Go.
Not because they're all over now.
They're in New York.
I've been in Philly, notoriously unfriendly city.
And I've been like, yo, this is the natural thing.
No, Chick-fil-A is always above the mean in kindness.
And then judging based on the mean of that place compared to your incredibly rude home state.
Right.
It's going to seem like that.
I went to Chick-fil-A in New York and I was like, this seems kind of like any other place in New York.
Now, I feel exceptionally good.
Yeah, compared to the McDonald's on West Forth.
Al's New Yorker.
He eats at McDonald's on West Forth, R.I.P., it's done.
Thank God.
Lesbos, find a new place to get your double fucking cheeseburger.
You go to Chick-fil-A in New York.
You're like, this place is incredibly kind and nice.
Yeah.
Just because they don't spit in your fries.
That's his metric.
Great you when you walk in.
Yeah.
They're super nice when you're taking your order.
And like, uh, they brought the order out to my car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That shit is nice.
So that's, yeah, it's kind of like a lot of fun.
How many sauces you want?
Everywhere in New York puts you on a allowance.
Think about this.
Think about how hard it is for us.
Let's say we're doing like a regular workday, right?
Think about how hard it is just for us to be nice to one another.
Oh, it's so hard.
And kind.
So hard.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, we can do it in moments, but the entire day with every single person that we interact with, and that is your job to interact, and you are nice and charming and sweet.
No roll in the eyes.
There is an insane company culture.
I don't know who the fucking CEO of that company is.
But they found a way.
Our next president, that's who it is.
I think he's got to run for president.
That's how he got away with all the little gay shit that they had going on.
When it wasn't gay at all, it was the opposite.
He was against homosexuality, and people still were eating that Chick-fil-A.
Bro, I bet gay people feel welcome at Chick-fil-A.
Yeah.
The food's so good, and the service is so great.
I knew a gay kid that used to work there.
Really?
Yeah.
And what was his argument?
Mark.
I used to work there.
Yeah, he did.
No, his boyfriend.
He kind of rationalized it in an abstract way.
He was like, oh, well, they were donating money to a company or to an organization that was against gay.
So they weren't really having a company statement.
And everyone there is nice to me, so I don't care.
Dude, I'm telling you, he could fucking win.
He could win, dude.
Dan Cathy.
Is that his name?
Dan Cathy could possibly win because obviously he's going to get that evangelical vote.
He's going to get the conservative vote because he is a conservative, religious man.
This is how principled they are.
They have a Chick-fil-A inside the Atlanta Falcon Stadium.
Not open on Sundays.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, they're never open.
Open for concerts, open for any other event.
If it's Monday night football, we're open.
Sunday, no.
They lose one-seventh of their revenue.
That's wild, dog.
Unbelievable.
And if you're at the fucking Falcons football stadium, those are your biggest days.
Those eight days.
You've said this on the podcast before, I'm sure, but there is nothing more heartbreaking than on a Sunday when you're hungover after you did a gig in Nashville, Tennessee, and you're at the airport and you see that Chick-fil-A sign in the distance.
You don't notice it's closed.
You trick yourself into smell on the fries.
It's like a mirage.
It is a mirage, dude.
And you're like, I already ate the tenders.
I already consumed them.
And then finding out it's fucking closed on Sunday.
I think it helps their business.
It creates that scarcity.
Because, like, if I'm passing one and it's not a Sunday, I'm like, fuck, I don't know when's the next time I'm passed one.
So I got it.
Yo, that's a great point because fast.
I know it's McDonald's.
It's like, I can get that, whatever.
And fasting is based on the idea that you can have whatever you want when you want immediately.
McDonald's is a slutty girl.
It's a slut.
And Chick-fil-A is a twin on rail.
Yeah, that's a reggae Reddit OnlyFans.
That's a regular OnlyFans.
Okay, so let's do some Feelings No Facts real quick.
How about this, Al?
You want to send us through some Feelings No Facts real quick?
Clubhouse Scam Mirages 00:04:43
Sure.
I did just want to give a shout out to the person who helped me find a fucking apartment, Tony Billy, his cousin.
He's a realtor here.
Man, do that shit on your own.
No, no, no, wait, wait.
WTF Media Studio.
Wait, They helped me find an apartment.
I'm not here in the red.
You get rinsed out.
Hey!
Yeah.
Okay.
Look at Dove.
Look at Dove taking that L in his face, dog.
You can see in his eyes, he got fucked.
Feeling like a Marilyn Manson ex right now.
That's nice.
A little bit of penthouses.
It's pretty nice.
But the funniest thing I heard, so he's taking me through this place.
It's a pretty new building.
And he's like, oh, and I guess he didn't realize part of the ceiling wasn't painted.
He was like, oh, you know, what's in right now, exposed cement.
No way.
He said, exposed cement is in right now because one of the rooms wasn't.
Motherfucker said asbestos is how do you hit you with the asbestos?
Wear your mask inside.
Yeah, it's not safe out there.
Why do we got to wear a mask?
And when we're in elementary, just breathing in cancer walls, they didn't say wear a mask at all, huh?
That's why our test scores are so low.
Son, that's a great point.
Son, asbestos, lead paint.
We've just been getting fucked up 12 years straight.
And we're supposed to be scared of Corona.
Popcorn ceilings.
Yeah.
Yeah, we all got the hiv too, probably.
So you almost spilled the whole coffee, son.
Thank God.
Again, do you know what?
I saw that happen in slow-mo.
Come on, son.
Which is a retarded gay person.
Oh, I thought that was Dove's cousin.
Slow-mo.
Slow-Muhammad.
Slow-mo.
Slow-mo.
Okay.
Let's go.
Feelings, no facts, Al.
So Chatty House, what's it called?
Clubhouse?
Clubhouse.
Clubhouse.
Chatty House.
He really demeaned it, dog.
I don't even want to be on it anymore.
I was a guy that heard the news that's like relaying it.
Oh, yeah.
Like, yeah, I think I heard.
But yeah, they got it evaluated at a billion dollars.
How do you guys feel about that?
A billion.
A billion.
That don't even seem like much to me.
Son, that's Instagram 15 years ago, a billion.
Give up the times.
Motherfucking WhatsApp was $9 billion.
Clubhouse, you little piddly-ass billion, bitch-ass fucking clubhouse.
Yo, piddly ass?
Sometimes Akaz talks so southern is crazy.
Hey, piddly ass?
How do you even spell it?
That shit is P-I-D-D-O-I shit.
Piddley.
That shit, man, Piddley.
I'd never heard that word.
But when you say it, you know what it means.
Yeah.
That's the way he said it.
Yeah, that's a piddly ass.
Hey, hey, that's your little piddly ass savings you got over there.
That's what people think about Beamer, bro.
Can I even call it a Beamer, dude?
That shit is.
Now you got the Beaner, bro.
I got the Beaner.
That's embarrassing.
A billion.
Yeah, dude, this whole thing is a fucking scam.
Dude, all these evaluations are a fucking scam.
They're just built based on the amount of consumers for the app.
So the amount of people who are signed up, subscribers, whatever you want to talk about.
But you can buy subscribers, essentially.
So they just use all the money that these VCs give them to bump up the subscribers.
And then they essentially flip that subscriber rate into getting more money from a new round of investors.
Sorry, finish.
And then I have a question.
Oh, I'm saying the whole thing is a hustle.
And they IPO and then they get all the money from other people.
Exactly.
Do you take that new money and you go, look, you see what we're doing?
We're killing it with all these subscribers because the only thing that matters is subscribers, right?
You take that new money from the new Series 2 investors, right?
And then you go and you flip that into an IPO and then you get the suckers, which are us, the retail investors, to pay you or to pay them.
So all the VC guys get paid off.
And then we're stuck with this IPO that flatlines because they don't actually have a product.
Now, I do think Clubhouse might be a little different in terms of people and operating on the platform itself.
It seems like it's something novel and it seems like something we might have to figure out how to use Clubhouse.
Real quick question, sorry to interrupt.
Do you know who I think might be, might have a piece that got offered a piece early on in this process?
Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart.
He did.
I knew it because he tweeted about how one tweet that I saw, he was like, I'm on Clubhouse right now.
This is it.
This is the future of interacting with fans.
This is how you do it.
And I always was like, Kevin Hart doesn't do shit like that.
And then when you were talking about it, I was like, oh, they must have given him a piece because they know he will get more subscribers and that drives the valuation up.
Shout out to Kevin Hart, by the way, for your apology.
I accept.
Kevin Hart On Clubhouse 00:13:52
I accept your apology.
Listen to your own clubhouse.
Clubhouse money.
We dress like Jumanji right now.
No, but Kev has a new show coming out on Series XM.
This is quite similar to Inside Jokes, our show.
In name.
And then he names it Inside Jokes as well.
So I was like, come on, bro.
You can't even change the name.
Like, I get there's similar concepts.
I'm totally fine with that, you know.
But like naming it the same shit.
Like, we don't have millions of views on that bitch.
And he was cool enough to put out an apology and be like, yo, my bad.
I'm sorry about this.
And we're going to change the name.
Yeah, that was it.
So that was it.
That was a really, I thought cool thing, stand-up thing.
And at the end of the day, you know, we are comics and this is all we have.
We have our ideas.
And, you know, it's cool to see.
I think a lot of people don't realize when you're doing a show with a network, there's a rollout planned.
Yeah, and to stop a rollout like that and to stop putting out the you know the pictures and images of what this show is, it's costly.
And he was willing to do that, and I really appreciate that.
Yeah, that's a stand-up thing to do.
And I'm not saying that Kev was out there looking at the show, going, Hey, we should name it Inside Jokes, but there is somebody on his team that for sure googled it.
I mean, you have to do your due diligence.
I can't imagine somebody would work for him and not do their due diligence in terms of the project.
And I'm sure Kevin spoke to him and was like, Yo, you need to do your fucking job.
It's your fucking job to make sure this shit don't exist already and it already popping.
He might not even have that conversation.
It might have just been you're fired.
That is also true.
That might have been the combo.
You're done.
Exactly.
Well, we're hiring over here at Schultz Disney.
Clearly, you're familiar with us.
You love our work.
You want to come on board?
We'll have a conversation.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because your balls look atrocious.
Okay, it's Miami.
It might not be summer, but we're in the summer right now.
So we're keeping it cute down there.
And the way that we keep it cute down there is with machetes.
No, I'm just kidding.
We keep it cute with Manscape.
All right, Manscape.

Son.
Can't do it.
You can't do it.
I promise you, you go to manscape.com, have a delicious dick.
Make sure it's slash flagrant.
Get that 20% off in free shipping.
Now, let's get back to the show.
All right, Al, you want to take us through?
Oh, Wendy Williams says she hooked up with Methanban.
You know what bothers me about this is I hate that anytime a black man gets successful, they try to make him gay.
I just don't like it.
I don't like it.
I don't appreciate it.
I don't appreciate it.
Also, Akash had a great take about the Maryland Manson accusers.
I said, How vindicated do you think all these girls' fathers must have felt?
Like, I've been warning you about what their daughters went through, but at the same time, they're like, I didn't tell you allegedly, allegedly, can't trust a guy that wears face makeup.
I tried to tell you.
I mean, wild ass boy, allegedly.
All these things are alleged.
No, there's a lot of stories that came out.
A lot of stories that came out.
You know what I mean?
Army Hammer.
There was crazy shit that came out with him.
We thought it was all a joke when we recorded.
Yeah.
And then the images coming out where he's burning out, burning these chicks.
Maybe he was just trying to start a black fraternity and he was laying there for white women.
Yeah.
Possible.
Yo, the Q dogs.
Army Hammer is just a Q dog.
You can picture him standing over them like this.
Yeah, Omega, baby.
That's all it is.
All right, what else we got out?
Uh, did we talk about uh Ghislaine Maxwell?
Ghilain Maxwell, apparently, her lawyers are just grasping at everything and they're trying to get her case thrown out because the juror, the jury selection, or whatever, the jurors weren't diverse enough.
Yeah, you know what?
That wasn't diverse enough.
The bitches that you were feeding to Epstein.
How about throwing some old hoes in there?
That'd be nice if they were diverse in terms of age.
That's the beauty.
That's the beauty of identity politics, though, is that you can use it as a tool to just get anything removed or like as an attack on something that you don't like.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is what happened with Wall Street Bets.
Yeah, they started calling them alt, right?
They had a Discord.
This is crazy where, like, basically, they say the word retard and like they call each other like smooth brain and like all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, smooth brain.
Yeah.
And they have like just like these insults to each other, like, man, I'm autistic, blah, blah, blah.
And that's like their culture.
And so, as a way to censor the Discord, as they said, oh, it's hate speech.
We pulled it off Discord.
There's a specific thing that they pulled off, actually.
They had some sort of like word generator that was in the Discord.
So it was something automated.
It wasn't even what the people were saying.
It was an automated thing that ended up saying the N-word.
So it was some bottom.
It was a bot, but it wasn't a bot as in, like, I'm going to be a fake subscriber.
It was some sort of like, remember when you can like find your rap name and you type something in and then it shoots out?
Yeah.
It was something it was super removed from people actually saying things.
It wasn't even that.
They're using the word retard, et cetera.
It was some sort of automated program spit out, I guess, the N-word or another offensive word.
And based on that, they shut down the Discord.
And then they got it back up, by the way.
And probably because Elon said corporate, whatever, got to Discord as well.
Shame.
But that's just like, you know, that's just what they did.
And then pull shit off.
It's not only identity politics, dude.
That's like, I mean, that's like classic silencing.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, that's what Jimmy Kimmel was doing, essentially.
You see his little fucking corporate tap dance.
They're Russian, the Russian interference behind Wall Street Bets.
It's like, you are fucking tap dancing, dude.
You are tap dancing for corporate interests.
You fucking phony.
And then he, Jon Stewart, supported Jon Stewart, the fucking GOAT, one of the most pure guys from everything I've heard.
Yeah.
He's tweeted in support of Wall Street Bets.
And then Kimmel was like, at real Donald Trump, is that you?
Fuck you.
Yeah.
Fuck you.
That shit was trash.
Someone commented and took his blackface picture, sent it to him, and goes, Jimmy Kimmel, is this you?
It's a shame that that's when he was funniest.
Yeah.
It's hard, but Blackface Jimmy was so much funnier.
Yeah.
And he's such a fucking, it's like, you don't have enough money, Jimmy.
You have enough money, dude, to have some fucking integrity, dude.
Yeah.
It is mind-boggling that you want to be invited to the party that much.
He hosts Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
That's how much money this guy has.
He's also working on that show.
Yeah, he hosts.
Oh, he's just part of the system.
That's more embarrassing than anything.
You know what it is?
They got dirt on him.
Oh, they have to.
They have to have some Epstein-S tape on him because there's no way a guy who is actually funny.
This guy who is actually a fucking hilarious dude.
The guy show stuff was fun.
Guy Show is good.
Crank Yankers was good.
There's a bunch of these.
Yeah.
So I'm almost positive.
We should look up.
But he was a funny fuck.
And he was actually really good.
If you listen to like the earlier Kimmel interviews and stuff, he was good.
Yeah.
He could carry an interview well.
And to see him become, he was Crank Yankers, right?
Yeah, him and Adam Carolla.
Yep.
And he to be to become a complete corporate fucking shill.
I wonder if they're still cool.
Because Carola doing his own thing.
As a wild boy, he's out there.
I doubt that.
I doubt that.
They start chasing the money, man.
Just go off the bank.
Don't you get enough of it?
But is it the money or is it the acceptance from that peer group of this is you can't even go to parties no more.
It's like the stupidest thing to want to go to the party.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
You're just chasing the check.
Yeah, the answer is him.
I mean, I don't know.
I just don't know.
I think it's got to be more than money.
They got to have something bad on him.
I bet you the blackface thing is tip of the iceberg.
Yeah.
It's got to be minimal.
Yeah.
It's got to be something so bad that he's willing to look like a complete sellout, knowing full well they're going to call him a sellout.
Like knowing full well.
But now your peers are going to go because he's going out of his way.
Like, if he's hosting a show and he says the Russia shit, it's like, okay, yeah, someone put that in teleprompter said.
Tell him what to say.
But he's going out on Twitter, like, attacking Jon Stewart for what?
And he's also.
That's what makes me think even more.
That's what makes me think he has to double down.
Or he's got that much of an ego where he was just getting fucking trashed on Twitter for saying the Russia Gate thing.
Well, he deleted the Trump, the Stewart comment.
He deleted that, yeah.
Pussy.
Yeah.
Absolute pussy.
Man, this guy, it's sad.
I know we're talking right now to a lot of people that only know Kimmel as like the late version of Kimmel.
Yeah.
And they're like, what do you mean he's funny?
Their mind is blown that we could be defending this guy.
But there was a time where he was an actually funny guy.
And it's such a fucking shame to see someone go from like real talent and hilarity to corporate shill just after they have money.
I don't even mind if you're broke and you do it to get paid.
Yeah.
Do you know what I'm saying?
If one of my friends has nothing goes for it, okay, fine.
But to be paid to be a multi-millionaire?
Can you look up his net worth?
Sorry, Debbie.
Please don't.
It's going to piss me off even more.
But no, no, I'm not going to be able to do it.
No, but to prove the point, he's got to be worth tens of millions.
Yeah.
I even understand to a degree doing it to keep your ABC show on the air initially because you don't want to feel like a failure on the biggest stage.
It says here $15 million or no, $50 million net worth.
It's too much.
I don't know if that's it.
You don't need it.
Anyway.
Anyway, that shit going to be gone.
You started a comedy club.
Shout out to Rihanna.
She did more for Indians than Gandhi.
Oh, yeah.
She's talking about them farmers, bro.
Oh, Akash and Rihanna, bro.
Yo, R.I.P. to her mentions because them shits are going to be nuts.
Yeah, but low-key, you need to keep that hair coming in.
Yeah.
Yeah, yo, you right.
Yo.
Hey, honest weave ain't coming from Rihanna.
Okay?
She got to go to the source.
Yeah.
She got to make sure them farmers are doing what they got to do.
Rihanna's growing grow that hair.
She's the most valuable crop in the Indies, bro.
That's a cash crop, yeah.
No, but she's West Indies.
And so she's got to take care of her actual indies.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
That's true.
R.I.P. to screech.
That's true, bro.
Yo, R.I.P. is screech, bro.
Yeah.
R.I.P. is screech.
He's kind of a legend.
Yeah.
Hey, he probably better off.
Yeah, I mean, Screech been dead for a while.
Downhill, bro.
Downhill.
Hey, the game stopped.
Game stop, dog.
Had a headache.
Hey, man, from Screech Dog, just died.
You didn't care when he was alive.
That's irrelevant.
Motherfucker was still a legend.
I got to roast him.
I think he was the first nerd that people kind of like thought was cool.
Nah, no, never cool.
People dressed up as him.
Urkel.
Yeah, you dress up as the things you want to mock.
Yeah.
Isn't Urkel the first nerd people?
Nah, Steve, Screech was before Urkel.
Oh, really?
Revenge of the nerds was the first.
Yeah.
Dummy.
Dummy.
Those nerds are getting revenge.
Screech ain't getting no revenge.
You know what I mean?
My motherfucker's dead.
Goddamn.
Oh, speaking of, actually, this is actually a wild story.
Yep.
This is a teenager that emerged from a 10-month coma.
Okay.
Last week that had no knowledge of the pandemic.
Oh.
So the kid wakes up from a coma.
Oh, that's hilarious.
And everybody's.
I don't believe this.
Is this real?
According to the Guardian.
What were they in a coma for?
Got hit by a car, 19-year-old in England.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wakes up.
Pandemic?
That's kind of lit, to be honest.
Is sleep through quarantine?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And all like the fucking Black Lives Matter shit, people going wild.
Them little ass European cars really going to do damage like that, bro.
You're going to talk about Doug's Mini Cooper like that?
Really?
I'm just saying.
All them little fiat.
You got hit by a fiat and you can't just flick that off you?
Actually, no, he said it was a BMW.
Yo, that's disrespectful, bro.
That's what they're disrespectful.
That's BMW makes Minnie Cooper.
Just saying.
Wow.
He said that like, fuck you.
Did you hear that fucking animosity?
Yeah, he called you.
That man was animosity.
He had the animos.
Same thing.
Damn, son.
That shit really hurt me, bro.
So, you got like the Toyota to the Lexus?
Wow.
He's the old navy.
He's the old navy to Banana Republic.
Who got the convertible in Miami?
You got the convertible, though.
You can't fit in the hard top.
You need the convertible.
Yeah.
Come on.
You're old Navy, bro.
What if he had a moon?
All right.
Last one.
Feelings, no facts.
Can we talk about this Chinese COVID test?
Were they going straight for the giggy?
Aren't they going for the giggie?
Hey, hold on.
Did we talk about how right we were about Bill Belichick?
But we did already.
We said we keep that or did we cut that?
No, thank you.
That's in it.
Okay.
But let's talk about that giggy.
Okay.
That is true.
They're going straight for the giggy.
Yeah, I don't understand why.
Huh?
How much more accurate can it be?
Son, bro.
It's Chinese, bro.
I don't know what to tell you.
It's the Chinese government.
They know what they're doing, bro.
They started.
They can finish it.
They're going right up the giggy, man.
Sometimes you can miss mucus, but you can never miss giggy.
That's true.
Yo, for you, they just test your finger, probably.
Because I scratch so much.
You can just go under my middle nail.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
What?
That's what they're doing.
They do the pedicure.
You think it's gross if I do this?
Oh, you smile afterwards?
Geez, don't smile.
Short Squeeze Mechanics Explained 00:16:04
Geez up, bro.
Just gave himself a dirty cinch.
But do you think, first of all, how did they figure out this new technique?
Hmm.
That's interesting.
Like, this is clinical trials.
They're just poking all the different orifices in your body until they find out which one has the most accurate.
Whatever the fuck they want.
Is this real that they're really doing that?
There's no way, right?
They can't be.
I mean, I believe it because it's China.
There's nothing I wouldn't believe.
You think when Chinese cars are testing safety instead of a dummy, they just put citizens in China?
Oh, I thought you were saying, like, try to drive your best.
Oh, man.
Here come the blogs.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Let's let's let's move on.
I think it's time for we have our discussion.
Let's talk about this GameStop.
I'll break it down real quickly.
This is real quick.
Uh, if anybody doesn't know what's going on, I'm sure you've heard about it.
But GameStop, okay?
GameStop.
Oh, my God.
I already fucked it up.
Here we go.
So, GameStop was this brick and mortar video game store, retail store that a lot of us went to when we were younger to buy video games.
You buy some magazines, et cetera.
You could return video games.
They never gave you anything for the video game.
You buy it.
Fucking embarrassing.
It was a $50 video game.
You get $3 and you took that shit and they looked at you like, yeah, you're going to take it, bitch.
Yeah.
They really did.
They really did.
Like Dove when he's negotiating your apartment.
Killed us.
I don't know who was offended by that.
Me or Dove?
No, we suffered together on that one.
All right, fine.
We suffered together.
Point is, they were looking like they were going to go out of business.
Obviously, in the future, they most likely are because people aren't buying video games in the same way that they used to buy in the past.
So there are these hedge funds.
Hedge funds are these conglomerates of invested capital.
So they're these invest, they're these people who manage billions and sometimes trillions of dollars of wealthy people's money and they throw it at specific things and looking to make huge margins on their investments, right?
So it's not as safe as the average maybe retail investor who just invests in the Dow or the Vanguard account, SP, this kind of NASDAQ, whatever.
And one of the things they do is short a stock.
So shorting a stock is essentially, we were doing this example like with sneakers, but basically you borrow, you bet on the stock going down.
And the way you bet on a stock going down is you borrow the stock, you then sell it to somebody else at the price it's currently at, and then you ideally pay for that stock from the person that you borrowed it from at a new lower price.
So you can make profit.
So that you can make the difference of the profit.
And what a lot of times these hedge funds do is they actually drive down the value of that stock.
So with GameStop or maybe something else, they would say, hey, this company's going out of business.
It's about to bust.
They get their friends in the media to also say those things.
And they get this entire frenzy going of people who are selling that stock.
And then it tanks the stock.
And ideally, the company goes belly up, right?
It goes out of business and they never even have to pay back.
100% profit.
Exactly.
Remember.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go.
What do the companies get out of it by loaning the stock out?
So it's not the company that's loaning it.
That stock exists.
So for example, I could just own some GameStop stock.
Right.
So then let's say, for example, right?
I'm letting you borrow my GameStop stock, right?
Okay.
And you go, I'd like to borrow it knowing that you're going to go sell it.
And I go, fine, but you got to pay me back in a month or two weeks, whatever we decide that window.
Where are they borrowing from?
I think it's the same way as when you buy stock on the internet anyway.
Like when you buy like some shares of silver or whatever, like you're just going to get a lot of money.
And I think you also get paid a fee if you are the lendee.
You are.
The person who lends or the lender.
You get a little fee while that person is borrowing.
And the longer that you don't pay for that stock, remember, you borrowed it from me and you're paying a fee.
It's like hold on to exactly.
And the longer you don't pay me, the more you got to pay.
Shit is a VIG.
Exactly.
So eventually what happens is you have this Wall Street bets, right?
You have this Reddit community that goes, oh my God, GameStop, they're trying to short to oblivion.
They're trying to destroy this company.
Okay.
So it's a bunch of fucking dorks who love GameStop, probably.
Sure, exactly.
They spent their childhood there.
Who I fuck with.
Yo, shout out to Reddit, but they spent their childhood there.
And it really, you know, they understand that Reddit employees, not Reddit, that GameStop employs 14,000 people and they see a fucking greedy, parasitic hedge fund trying to make all 14,000 of those people unemployed for their own personal gain.
It's absolutely disgusting.
Okay.
Shouts to everybody in that Reddit community.
Right.
Real talk.
Honestly, like, that shit is noble.
Like, that shit is brave.
Like, I love that shit.
Hold the line.
Hold the line.
Yeah.
Hold that fucking line.
Talk about me, bro.
I'm a partial owner.
Let's go.
I'm a partial owner in GameStop.
Oops.
Okay.
So basically, what they did is they saw that GameStop was incredibly overshorted.
So matter of fact, more of their stock was shorted than existed.
That's how shorted the stock was.
So they're like, oh my God, these piece of shit parasite hedge fund douchebags are trying to drive this stock into the ground so they can get all that fucking profit off the short.
We're not having it.
Let's band together and let's start buying up the GameStop stock.
It's really hard to say.
Buying up GME, we'll call it, buying up GME, and they'll drive the price up.
They won't be able to make any money on the short.
And if we can keep on driving it up, they're going to lose money and have to pay that VIG, that interest you were talking about.
And then they might lose so much money, they'll just have to buy the stock itself.
And they'll lose tons of money.
Exactly.
And when you have to buy the stock itself, what happens when you buy stock?
Price goes up.
Price goes up.
It's called a short squeeze.
So they short squeeze GME.
They short squeeze GameStop, right?
And the price kept on going up.
There's other things that also helped it going up, and we can get into that.
And the app that a lot of these people were using to buy was on Robinhood, right?
Robinhood is this app.
The whole idea of the app is steal from the rich, give to the poor, obviously Robinhood.
And what happened with Robinhood is they stopped allowing people to buy the stock and only allowed them to sell it.
Cucks.
Cucks.
That's cucks, right?
100%.
I use Robinhood that day that they stopped it in the morning.
You couldn't even log on to your account.
Isn't that crazy?
So about an hour, I couldn't even get to it.
And that's fucked up because this is your money.
It's not like this is a video game you're playing.
This is your actual money.
You're like, yo, fam, don't fuck with my money.
This is a very different situation when you're messing with people's hard-earned cash here, right?
And the reason why this gets a little conspiratorial is the way that Robinhood makes money is that it shares the investors' data, investors are you guys, right?
Myself included our data with hedge funds.
So, all of our data of our investments, it shares with hedge funds, and they get it before the general public gets it.
And that's how hedge funds can beat us on all the trades because they know what the fuck we're doing before the average people do.
So, if Robinhood is loyal to these hedge funds and these hedge funds are getting brutalized by a short squeeze, and then all of a sudden you can't buy more stock from GME, that only helps the hedge funds that are getting brutalized by the short squeeze.
So, people are like, oh my God, did fraud happen here?
This is fucking disgusting.
Are you on their side?
There's other people that are saying that Robinhood just ran out of money and you have to have a certain money amount of money to maintain all the trades that are happening.
Now, Robinhood limits the amount of GME you're allowed to buy, right?
Yeah, and yeah, yeah, and they used to not put limit it at all.
They just took it off today, actually.
Oh, they did.
And now that it's down to $100 and nobody's buying it anymore, they're like, Oh, you can trade freely.
And so, the people who are going, This is fraud between obviously the hedge funds and Robinhood have a point.
And then there's other people that are saying Robinhood just doesn't have enough money to like maintain all the bets that are essentially going on on their platform because it is gambling at this point in time.
So, they need just like a bank needs 10% of its reserves in order to function as a bank.
So, if you have $100 million in a bank, they got to keep 10 million by law.
I think there is a law for Robinhood and these other kind of like brokerage firms as well.
But who knows exactly anyway, we're going to speak to an expert about all this stuff, but that's basically what happened.
And fucking kudos to Wall Street bets and the Redditors and like kudos to everybody on social media.
It's just fucking dope to see that happen.
Like, it's nice to see institutions get punched in the mouth every once in a while.
It didn't chop their heads off, but it's almost like in the movie 300, you know, when he throws the spear at the Persian king and it just nicks his cheek and he starts to bleed a little bit.
And like, that's what you needed.
You just want to see them fucking bleed once right after being abused by them for fucking years.
And it was done by the people.
It was done by the people.
And it's just great to fucking see, man.
So, anyway, we're going to talk to somebody right now.
Uh, without further ado, let's talk to maybe the most flagrant man in the investment business.
And there are a lot of flagrant motherfuckers in that business, but I promise you, this might be the most.
Let's give it up to our guest today to explain all this nonsense, ask a few questions to Jordan Belfort, the wolf of Wall Street.
Here we are with our special guest.
Uh, who better to talk about the volatility of the market than the wolf of Wall Street himself?
Um, Jordan Belfort is in the building.
Welcome to Flagrant 2.
It's good to finally talk.
We've been talking on Instagram for a little bit, figuring out when we're going to do a podcast.
I think this is the perfect time.
Are you short on GameStop?
I'm out.
I'm not in GameStop because at this point, after I put out a video like I did yesterday, it would be really unethical for me to have either been long or short.
So, I've got a message of encouragement and support to people overall.
Not about GameStop, just about their overall venture to stick it to the man and just to stay strong.
So, the answer is no, I am not short.
GameStop, AMC, or any of those stocks, nor am I long, nor have I ever been long any of those stocks.
So, I'm out of it completely.
Okay.
Feds are listening.
I wish I was long though at the bottom.
I wish I would have been long at the bottom, though.
I wish I was.
Now, okay, we got to figure it out because this is a new Jordan Belfort talking right now.
If this was back in the day, if this was, you know, during the times of the movie that we all saw, would you be looking for this space in the market?
Would you be the guy trying to find a way how to make these huge sums of money off of volatility?
Well, that's what I did.
Reddit is Reddit is Wall Street Bets. is a modified form of what Stratton was, except their cause is far more pure than my cause was.
I think it's a very odd thing.
So, you know, if you look at this point, Wall Street Bets has evolved into something that it probably did not start off as.
I'm sure the original people on there, from what I see, not the digging right deep, were really, you know, had a very pure intention in mind.
And also, by virtue of the name itself, it wasn't about serious value investing.
It was a, everyone knew the risks they were getting involved in.
They were making bets and they, and some of the, you know, the vernacular uses hysterical.
They call themselves retards.
And it's really wild.
I mean, the culture that they, they, no, like, I'll stay retarded longer than that.
No, it's really interesting.
So I think it had a really pure intention.
They have a genuine distrust for Wall Street and most institutions.
Right.
And I think that what happened is many other people now have gotten on that bandwagon, probably far less interested in the social aspect as much as making a quick buck on it.
Okay.
So, but, but, but all things being equal, what they've done is very similar to what I did, where I would get involved.
I'd find the company that I like, then I'd get behind it and I'd pump it up.
The difference is then they weren't doing it to manipulate as much as start off as a sort of a social cause.
And also, I think they believed in it that they found a good short squeeze, which is a reason to buy a stock.
So I think that their administrative motives were pure.
Okay.
Now, what are the chances that there aren't hedge funds that are also invested in other hedge funds being squeezed out by shorting game stock?
I mean, people have been looking at this as if it's just retail investors, but I find it hard to believe that there's not some hedge fund that use their sophisticated algorithm to go out there and be like, no, it's probably a good idea that we pump this stock up as well.
You wouldn't need an algorithm.
Just have someone, if I was a hedge fund, I'm sure this happens and it's happening, at least it will certainly be happening going forward.
They have people full-time in these chat rooms gathering intelligence.
Wall Street is based on having intelligence.
These hedge funds operate, especially the short sellers themselves, rely on this type of intelligence.
They send spies and moles.
And I mean, I had a friend that was a top, top short seller, like very much like he was actually, he's passed away.
He was best friend to the guy from Citroen.
It's an old friend of mine.
He's no longer around.
And these guys, the lengths they would go to to find out dirt on companies is unbelievable.
They'll have people counting the number of trucks leaving a warehouse to see if it stacks up to the amount they say they're shipping.
It's really, that's how detailed.
They have like drones flying over and stuff like that.
It's really in-depth because they're betting on that, you know, that fundamentally a company is basically way overvalued.
And they want to prove that this fraud, hopefully, because then they can really precipitate a downfall.
The issue is that when that the type of shorts that have been involved, this aggressive shorting, they're very different than the normal shorts that you see in the market.
And it's very expensive to stay short.
So they have to be right very quickly.
It's not a matter of being right.
They're almost always right in the long run, but they have to be right quickly or else they'll lose too much in margin, interest, and stock loan.
So it's a pretty dicey game.
So to the average person, like that's something that I've noticed that what's happening right now is that people are throwing around these terms that for a Wall Street investor are very common terms, but you hear these things like margin and short, et cetera.
So when you're shorting a stock, you have to pay almost like a rental fee to short it.
So this is something that really has not been discussed nearly as much as it should.
I'm an expert in this stuff because I literally battled against short sellers.
My entire firm was based on a long, protracted battle with shorts because I was inflating stocks.
And they were trying to short shorts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
It was constant.
They tried every trick in the book and I squeezed them many, many times.
The problem is, is the shorts are very, very clever.
And the brokerage rooms are so corrupt that so normally, see, the way it really works is there's only one way you can really, there's two ways you can short a stock legally.
One is if you borrow the stock.
So you have a margin account and then you borrow the stock.
So they have what's called stock loan departments.
And stock loan is a huge business on Wall Street, very profitable where they lend people stocks that they charge fees for that.
And that's why it's, and the firms will break the law.
They break every law to do stock loans.
It's that profitable.
It's massively corrupt, right?
That's number one.
So you borrow the stock and then you short it through a margin account.
That's one way.
The other way, the exemption is through a market making account.
Rejection Of Wall Street 00:08:05
In other words, you're a market maker on NASDAQ as a market maker in the normal course of business.
You're allowed to be long or short in your position as a normal cost of just being a trader in the market.
It's a proprietary trader.
You're not allowed to be naked short as a customer.
It's against the law to be naked short.
But what they do is the brokerage rooms allow people like these big funds to skirt the law and stay naked short through what's called prime brokerage accounts and other accounts.
They just allow them to do things they should not be doing.
And then what happens is they also steal stock out of accounts that should not be stock shouldn't leave.
You cannot take stock out of a cash account, only a margin account.
But what happens is, is that they will take these stocks out anyway.
These firms are terrible.
They take stocks out and they illegally lend them out to the short sellers and it's on and on it goes.
And it's a vicious cycle.
You try to, you try to, I had times in my stocks, 200% of the stock was trading.
They're short two times over and yet they should be being bought in as the phrase goes, but they're not because the clearing firms are corrupt and they don't buy in the shorts.
They're in cahoots with them.
That's what's going on.
So in other words, people are shorting or they shorted more stock than there actually was.
Let me explain.
When you short a stock, you don't own that stock.
Right.
Well, guess what?
On a few days later, you have to settle the trade.
Yeah.
Well, you have to deliver stock to make settlement.
You have physical.
Now, it's not no longer physical, but it's physical delivery through what's called DTC.
It's electronically, physically delivered, right?
But what happens is, is that if you don't, if you haven't bought, the only way you could have it is if you borrowed someone else's stock and you delivered borrowed stock, right?
But that's not what's happening always.
They're allowing this to happen because what will happen is you'll have on any given moment, you'll have what's called fails to receive and fails to deliver.
So the person that maked shorts the stock has a fail to deliver.
They haven't delivered.
So on settlement date, they're like, where's the delivery?
So then they give you a day to deliver the stock, but then they don't actually buy the person.
The firm doesn't buy that person in.
It's a very rigged game against the little guy.
That's what's going on.
So in some way, when you, you are like an insider, so you know how like corrupt the business is.
Obviously, you had some corruption in the way that you ran your business.
Is that fair to say?
Yeah.
Do you oftentimes feel like, why am I the example?
Every one of these motherfuckers is doing something corrupt, and I'm here as the bad guy, and these other guys are skating off scot-free.
Well, listen, you know, when I was in jail, right, I did 22 months.
I used to say, oh, I'm the only guilty man in Shawshank.
Like, I don't, listen, I did some things wrong.
I smuggled money to Switzerland and I did my time and whatever.
I deserve to get caught.
The fact that everyone else was breaking the same laws as me doesn't make what I did right.
That's so that's how I felt at the time.
Like, I was not even nearly every single firm was doing what I was doing.
I was the biggest one out there and I got caught and deserved to get caught.
I went to jail.
Fine.
When I started to say maybe I didn't deserve to go to jail, was in 2008 when I saw Goldman Sachs bankrupting Iceland and Greece.
And I saw shit happening.
I was like, what the fuck?
Am I?
I mean, like, dude, I mean, like, I mean, I only lost some rich people money.
Now, again, it's not right, but compared to what they did, I'm like a choir boy and none of them went to jail.
So, yeah, it started to get a little bit maddening back in 2008 and after.
At the end of the big short, there's a scene, and all the bad guys went to jail.
Haha, just kidding.
No one went to jail.
Like, I was like, wow, I was sure they would crack down.
But, you know, one of the big problems on Wall Street and in politics, and I think what Wall Street Bets is intuitively fighting against, it's maddening, is this incensuous relationship between Wall Street and politics.
So we have like the former head of Goldman Sachs is now the Treasury Secretary and vice versa.
And it goes on and on.
And what they do is when they're in government, they create laws that are these wide loopholes that their buddies on Wall Street can jump through.
And it's sort of this way where they create this rigged game.
The laws are written in a way to squash the little guy and favor large institutions.
And all you see with these politicians waving, oh, we're going to put the little guy nonsense.
The SEC is not the small investor.
They're out there to screw the small investor.
They protect the larger firms.
And it's just such an awfully, terribly rigged grain.
That's, I was so gratified when the guys from Wall Street Bets says, I thought it was great.
I was like, this is amazing.
I wish I would have thought of it.
I did.
And is the only thing that they did is just organize enough capital?
Is that all Wall Street Bets was?
It's like, hey, if we just connect enough people, we'll have enough capital to go up against the hedge funds.
Partially, yes, partially, no.
It was the convergence of a bunch of different things.
And I always listen, I always said, guys, be really careful because at the end of the day, you know, that stock is going to have to come flying back down to the earth.
Now, by the way, there are many people on Wall Street Bets that would curse me for even uttering those words.
Hold the line, Jordan.
Don't be a sellout.
And, you know, and it's really, you know, there's people there, like, I could support them and tell you, he's an asshole.
Like, there's really zealots on that Wall Street Bets that, like, it's just things anybody that has any sort of affiliation to institutions in general must be evil.
So you could be on their side and they'll still hate you, right?
So those people are just whatever.
I don't care.
They're just nuts, right?
But for the most part, I think there's a very culture there of distrust and they deserve to have that culture.
What happened was a confluence, a convergence of events.
So what you have is at the same time that the power of social media is allowing people to connect in ways they could never connect before.
You have platforms enabling people to trade in real time without heavy trading fees.
So you put those two things together in the same spot and combine that with a generalist, a general populist movement right now that we see spreading all throughout the country and the world in different shapes and forms.
Example you know you could look back is what happened with Trump and say it was a populist revolt against what's going on with the big institutions, like I don't care, you can hate Trump, but I just want to screw over.
It's like it's a protest vote against Washington.
Yeah right, I could then say and, and even if you, and even when you hate Trump as much as you can hate Trump, when they be platformed him, you might oh yay, but in your stomach you knew it was wrong.
You knew it was wrong because you say there's something wrong when, when people can be silenced and the first amendment it can be just stamped on like that.
When you see big tech, people being worth hundreds, a hundred billion dollars I love Elon Musk, okay is, I think he's a wonderful guy, but I think generally he'd agree with this that when you see this concentration of wealth and Wall Street flying like the dow flying while America is suffering in a pandemic, when you see people locked down their house and can't go out the restaurants and Gavin Newsom is eating in the French laundry it, you know we, we take it on the chin.
Take it on the chin, but in our stomach it it's evolving.
So I think all of these things are connected to a moment of like.
There's a zeitgeist anger here yes, and when you put money into the equation like this guess what, all of a sudden you saw Aoc and Ted Cruise agree on something then you know you really have something that's really strange going on.
Yeah, so I think that's really.
It's a you're right, it's a populist movement in many ways.
Yeah, it almost feels.
Yeah, I was going to say that it is kind of parallel to what happened with Trump, where people were rejecting the political institution right, and this feels like a rejection of the Wall Street or the banking institution.
Bitcoin As Value Storehouse 00:15:16
And the internet has given us these this ability to kind of organize in a way that we've never been able to do before and be like really precise with the way that we protest for things.
So I do see those as this is bitcoin, say what, as was bitcoin, as was bitcoin is in a similar vein.
So bitcoin, bitcoin to me was the eye-opener for the average person, because I think the average person just looked at the stock market and they were like myself included they're like, ah, this is too complicated for me, I don't know anything about this.
And then, when you see bitcoin, and you see bitcoin going for what is it?
Forty thousand dollars, or whatever a coin you're like, oh, this is worthless, its only value is people believing it has value.
And then you start going, oh that's everything, everything is valued by people believing it has value.
So we can pump up AMC, we can pump up Nokia, we can pump up Game Stop, we can do whatever we want.
And then there's this great feeling of like empowerment for the average person, because they realize value is not dictated by the elites, value is not dictated by institutions.
Value is actually dictated by the masses and we are the masses.
And to that quote I would like to add sorry, if I can add a question on the problem with that, though.
Yo sorry Jordan, if I can ask a question, add a question on that.
Where does this go from here?
If that's what we're realizing, this is this big revelation then where does it go after Game Stop AMC, Dodge coin Dogecoin, whatever?
Then where does it go?
There's a huge problem with the thesis you just laid out, because you're right, that's what the connection people are making is that.
But it's a false connection, and i'll tell you why.
I started off when, When I first saw Bitcoin, I thought the technology was great.
It was awesome.
When I saw it run up to 17,000, 20,000, I was like, get out, it's going to crash.
And I was almost right onto the day when I thought it was going to crash.
I thought once it crashed, it would disappear and never come back, but it didn't.
I was wrong about that.
So I was right for the timing, but I thought it would just vanish and it didn't.
Why?
Because enough people believed in it.
Now.
The difference between Bitcoin and GameStop is so huge that they, and this is the mistake people are making.
If you're trying to think that one relates to the other, it doesn't.
There is a finite amount of Bitcoin that is out there and that can be created.
And there are very complex, understandable models of how you create them.
And it creates scarcity.
There is literally no amount of GameStop that could not theoretically be issued.
There's an endless supply of shares that can be printed, created.
So it is not a finite situation.
What Bitcoin was able to do, you truly have hit on one thing.
It was simply supply and demand.
And if we think it's valuable, it's valuable.
However, in GameStop, there's another reality involved here that if the stock stays high for too long, the company will start selling shares into the market to raise.
It won't stay up.
You can keep creating more shares.
It's not Bitcoin.
So that's why analysts are out there that have training and research and fundamentals, because they look at there are certain rules of the game because it's all about supply and demand.
If you have companies that just can create and print more shares, well, guess what?
You're back to 1929 when, you know, they, or even earlier, when they screwed over Cornelius Vanderbilt and they just started dumping shares and they created, you've probably seen this in the Men That Made America, this story how they screwed over Cornelius Vanderbilt, but it's printing shares of some railroad he had, and they cost the guy like a half a billion dollars back when half a billion dollars meant something.
But the point is, you could just keep creating shares.
So you be very, very careful when it comes to applying that same philosophy of it's just supply and demand.
One has an endless supply.
Yes.
One is a finite supply.
Yes.
And I'm sure somebody out there is like, well, yeah, there's all new different types of coins that pop up and those coins can be competitive with Bitcoin and maybe they can drive the cost of coin down because there is more supply, right?
You could make an argument for all this.
All I'm trying to say is that I think people are starting to wrap their heads around this idea that like a sneaker is popular because we decide it is or my girl likes a purse.
That purse isn't worth anything.
It worth $30, but because Dior says it's worth $5,000, then that's the price.
But we dictate that, not Christian Dior, not the at what.
Remember one thing, though.
Go.
The things that end up holding their value have limited numbers of them.
This is a very important point.
There are two things that you need.
There are two things that drive the market.
I'm an expert in stock manipulation.
I am.
I know more about it than probably anyone on the planet.
I'm not proud of that, but it's just true.
And there are two sides to a stock manipulation, okay?
Number one is you must create demand.
Demand.
What most people don't focus on is also the artificial withholding of supply.
Why do you think diamonds have their value?
The reason diamonds have value is because the of the beers withholds supply.
They take supply off the market.
If they were to actually flood the market with supply, diamond prices would crash.
Okay.
So it's not just about what you can create in demand.
It's also how much supply is out there and can that supply be increased.
I just invested in baseball trading cards recently because, but I know it's all based on there's only three of these cards outstanding like 10 of these cards.
It's all based on limited supply.
Is this the digital card?
They're worthless.
Is this the digital card thing that they just put out?
I bought real baseball cards.
So a friend of mine, Dan Fleischer, is a store that sells cards.
I just.
Oh, no, they just released a digital baseball card.
And what they're basically trying to do is like make a digital version of these trading cards.
And people are spending like hundreds of thousands of dollars on them.
It's crazy.
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
And for whatever reason, these coins have used some sort of like sophisticated technology to make sure that there is a limited supply of these coins, right?
Yeah, you can't make more Bitcoin.
But you can, right?
Can't you mine for them?
Isn't there like a yeah, but you mine like you mine for gold.
You don't make gold.
You mine for gold, find the gold, and that's it.
Right.
So, yeah.
So, number one, there's a finite amount of Bitcoin that could ever be created, somewhere between 21 and 23 million.
I'm not sure exactly what it is.
And what happens is the mathematics behind mining is as you create more Bitcoin and the price goes higher, the mathematical computations are so much more complex and more difficult.
The amount of energy it takes and time it takes, it's an incredibly clever technology.
And I'm just absolutely shocked that the United States did not.
My big fear for Bitcoin, just so you know, was never that the technology was bad.
I always loved blockchain technology.
My fear was that it's so cool and so great.
How could the government that is so against money laundering or any other form of currency they can control?
How would they let this go on?
That's the part that always I thought was like they could just clamp down on this and stamp it out, right?
You know, maybe for I know it is the United States behind Bitcoin for all I know.
And they know where it all is.
Who really knows?
Why haven't they?
I just said, who knows?
It's not the United States.
They have to be, right?
I mean, who really knows?
I don't, it defies logic to me that the U.S. that spent 20 years pressuring Switzerland and the Cayman Islands to give up everybody that it accounts, they just tried so hard to eliminate all ways to launder money that they're suddenly going to say, ah, yeah, go ahead, just, you know, use Bitcoin or this coin or that coin.
And I'm not trying to even say that Bitcoin is just for money laundering because it's not.
Bitcoin is used by many, many legitimate people now as a storehouse of value.
And the more people that believe that, the more true that becomes.
It just, there's things no one would deny that it does.
The anonymity lends itself to also having some group of people use it for nefarious reasons.
Now, that's true of any situation, anything.
You always have good, you know, good players, bad players.
But it just seems that it would surprise me the U.S. would not have been more aggressive here.
We'll see.
You know, maybe they're involved in it and we'll find out.
That was the whole big joke the whole time.
But who knows?
I mean, they have to.
And I think that answers your same question earlier about the First Amendment.
It's like, if you see big tech squashing the First Amendment, right?
Well, maybe it's not big tech.
Like maybe big tech is allowed to do that because they're in bed with the United States government.
And why would you be able to grow this big and have that much influence?
Yeah, if you Google, if you Google how the wolf of Wall Street invented the internet, all of this stuff is because of my, believe it or not, all this stuff is because of me with Rule 230, this ability for platforms to act the way they do and say that they're not publishers.
That was passed because of a lawsuit I won against an early platform.
I sued the, I see one of the first internet platforms called Prodigy and won a huge case against Prodigy back in 1994 or so.
And this is before they had this rule, this Fair Practices Act.
And basically, I won a huge judgment in the Senate.
One of the senators saw this and they passed this law 230 to overturn my judgment.
So that's the way you see the internet operating right now is because of my case.
They overturned it because of me.
I won against Prodigy.
You can Google it.
It's on the internet.
So you created the internet and you got rid of Quelluts.
Al Gore invented the internet.
This is a joke.
I know if you Google it, I was directly responsible for the way these platforms operate.
It was passed to overturn a victory I had against Prodigy.
Hmm.
So once you've reached, like, wait, did you come from anything?
I'm trying to understand.
Like, you were, you came from some money or nothing, right?
So like, once you poor family.
Okay.
So when you start like tasting the upper echelons of economic society in the first world, right?
You, I'm just curious, like, what is that experience like?
Do you start realizing that this is all a bunch of like cronyism and these guys are keeping this for themselves and anybody else that tries to get in gets kind of pushed out?
Or are they welcoming if you could earn your keep?
Do they look at you and they go, all right, this guy's an earner.
This guy can do it.
He's part of the upper crust.
Like, what is that relationship?
I imagine you're like rubbing elbows with these guys.
And I'm just curious, like, are you allowed in?
Clearly, you went to jail, but guys go to jail.
There's always, I have a lot of friends who are multi-billionaires.
And there's always levels and then levels above and levels above and levels above.
You know, the old joke is everybody has a boss.
Everybody reports to someone else.
Everyone has to pick up a call for one thing and say, hey, can I do X, Y, Z?
Even Jeff Bezos and even everyone has that.
Not anymore.
Jeff is done.
Yeah.
What's that?
Jeff stepped down.
He's still as I think it's not yet, but in June, maybe.
And then he's still be the executive chairman, which exerts huge influence as a shareholder of his size as the executive chairman.
He'll still have huge influence.
So, you know, I know the guy took over from the AWS division, but that aside, you know, I do listen.
I've been in the highest circles of both business and government before and after I had my issue back in 98.
And listen, you know, there is a lot of things that are simply built in, they're built into the system to lock out the little guy.
But at any moment in time, as you see, people break through.
People are becoming billionaires every year.
There's a couple of new people.
And, you know, the United States still represents this unbelievably upwardly mobile system of capitalism that allows people to get rich.
And the problem is, is that there are certain aspects of the system.
And I really believe that it has to, it's mostly based on two things in the U.S.
The incestuous relationship between Wall Street and Washington, which is a disaster, and two lobbyists.
So those two things, and then combine that with no term limits.
It's a recipe for disaster.
And I think until those things change, not much good is going to happen.
I guess my question to you, and I don't want to take too much of your time, but like, I guess my question for you is this: is that you hear all these people at the top talk about the glories of capitalism and the free market, right?
And I'm curious if they treat the people who make it there on their own with that same respect, or if they operate kind of like a monarchy where they see a new guy come up and they're like, let's use our institutional power to squash him.
Matter of fact, fuck that capitalism bullshit.
That's just something that we sell to the poor people.
We really just want to keep it amongst us and the boys.
That's my curiosity.
I wonder if they really live that life or they say that shit to keep poor people happy.
I don't think they look down.
I think that any, listen, I guess you have some people, it's probably generational wealth and the Rothschilds.
Maybe there's some of that going on.
But most people, if you look at most of the billionaires, it's a lot of it is newly minted money in the last generation or so, the richest people in the world.
And I don't, unless they're, unless they're not like you and I, and I assume they're just like you and I, okay, they're just like us.
And a lot of the stuff that happens to people, some of it is luck, some of it is, and when I say luck, meaning like whether it's 5 billion or 50 billion, in other words, at some point, it's the industry, the niche that you were in.
There's a lot of equally brilliant people that don't have as much money that are still very, very wealthy.
So top, top, top, top level of wealth.
Some of it is right place, right time, and there's lots of brilliant people.
I don't think they look at people who break in as being less than.
In fact, I'm sure they love that.
And if I was, listen, at every level, the same, if I'm worth X millions of dollars and I see someone, I'm like, I want that.
I'm rooting for that guy to make it because good for them.
And I see myself in that person.
You would have to say human nature would reverse itself at the tippy top.
I don't think that's so at all.
What you do have, I believe, is you have some people that are not respected, like Donald Trump.
Like, I don't think other billionaires very much respected Trump because in their mind, the way he made his money wasn't really like it was really, was he, what is he?
A celebrity?
Did he really make it in real estate?
What's his real net worth?
And there's valid things.
Mobster Nature And Taxes 00:02:09
And there's a lot of questions.
Like, why wouldn't he release his taxes?
Well, obviously, because he probably wasn't as rich as he was saying he was.
There's no other reason why he wouldn't release his taxes.
But that doesn't mean he wasn't a great politician and a great, you know, person to catalyze a movement.
You know, you could hate the guy, love the guy, but there were some things that obviously appealed to many, many people.
And his policies themselves were helping the country, I think.
But he was a terrible communicator.
So I have a question based on that.
You said you don't think there's like an old boys club, which seems valid, and there's a certain degree of criminality that permeates this entire world.
Why do you think you were the one that got taken down?
I'm not the only one.
Man, Milken got caught.
Okay.
And Milken, you know, was a spread right before me.
And Milken was a, and now he's back in the midst of the whole thing.
He didn't get any pussy, man.
Jordan, Jordan, you got too much pussy, bro.
Just call it what it is, man.
You got too much.
You got too much pussy, bro.
If you weren't out there with the girls on the planes, nobody would have said shit.
You got to be one of these hedge fund dorks out there typing away at the computer, jerking off.
Exactly.
Losers don't go to jail.
There's no doubt that there was aspects of my personal life that are very deeply offensive because I was having, I was also very young and with all these models and doing all this insane stuff that made me stick out like I was a poster child for like excess young wealth and success.
Yeah.
I'm curious, what if the powers that be got together and they were like, this guy's going to fuck it up for all of us?
You were like a flashy mobster.
You know what I mean?
You were like goddamn a way.
And they were like, listen, if people know that this is our life, this guy's out here banging chicks on planes and doing qualities and snorting coke and those other.
He's going to think that's what we all do.
We got to get him out of here.
Or call attention to the foul shit we're doing.
Yep.
This is the guy that's true.
You wore the coat.
You're Frank.
What is it?
Frank Lucas.
American gangster.
American gangster Frank Lucas.
You wore the fucking mink to the fight.
Shouldn't have worn a mink to the fight.
Hedge Fund Market Control 00:04:30
The one thing you guys are not, and listen, some of that, of course, like you, I know you guys are somewhat kidding, but some of it's true.
But also, I'm 100%: there was no social media back when I was doing what I was doing, so it wasn't like everybody could see that.
There were articles in the newspaper, mostly what was really my biggest mistake was that if you picked up the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal on any given day, three out of the five biggest gainers or losers were stocks that Stratton was involved in.
And that was what really tipped everybody off.
And also, you guys, short sellers, it was the short sellers that called the regulators on me.
It was the short sellers that started the investigations into my firm.
It was all my battling with the short sellers.
They were the ones that were causing investigations to start.
You got a name?
You want us to handle something for you?
I'm just saying, I'm saying we're down here in Miami with machetes, Jordan.
It's not a problem for us, bro.
Sorry, one more question.
What do you think the future of Wall Street bets is?
Where does it go from here with these people?
Like, it seems like they can kind of control the market with this massive Reddit thread.
What do you think the future is with Wall Street Bets?
I think they're going to keep going on.
I think that what you're going to find here is that the people that are the hot money that came in at the end that wasn't really committed to what they're doing will probably, you know, will die out with as soon as there's like Wall Street's really good at closing these gaps and inefficiency.
So I think they'll be a lot more careful of creating these opportunities that are so easy, like GameStop, where someone could recognize it.
So I think that Wall Street bets will continue on.
There'll be a big follower.
They'll have to adapt, be more careful, and also choose a better person than Robin, a better company than Robinhood to do their trading for them because that is not the right platform.
Oh, yeah.
Before you go, can you just tell us what you think happened there?
What do you really think the reason why Robinhood stopped allowing people to trade or at least buy?
Was it buy or sell?
Buy GameStop.
Buy.
Yeah.
So when the first day it happened, I immediately came out in defense of Robinhood because there are definitely things going on that would cause Robinhood to have to take some protective actions.
In other words, they were going to run out of net capital.
They have huge liability if the stock crashes.
But the measures that they took, I thought, were draconian and led me to believe there was other things going on as well, probably a bit nefarious, like getting pressure from institutions to shut this stuff down because they didn't like it.
They did not have to stop trading altogether.
They could have what's done called increase the margin requirement, make it more expensive, but more difficult to borrow the stock, to borrow, to buy the stock.
And that alone would have done a lot of what they needed to do to get back into ratios.
So I think you're going to find there was both things going on.
They were certainly acting to protect themselves against any net capital violations or losses if the stock crashed and they got caught with losses.
But also, I bet they were under pressure as well from these large hedge funds to not allow this type of what they considered to be collusion and manipulation, which is pretty funny.
It's pretty rich from them considering that all day long they're colluding, manipulating stocks.
So you got to laugh at that one.
100%.
Yeah, that's what I think.
Maybe it's a little bit of both, right?
Maybe they ran out of money, and then maybe there was a little bit of a nudge from Citadel.
Is it Citadel that kind of yes.
And by the way, if there's even one email that exists or a text that insinuates that there was pressure, oh my God, like it's going to be jail time or certainly, I mean, someone's going to jail because I hope, listen, I don't, I don't, I'm willing to say what I hope or not, but the point is, if that exists, wow, that's a big problem for Robinhood.
Really?
Oh, yeah, because if they will, if they're getting pressure and they to shut down the trading of stocks, that's flat out manipulation.
They're actually causing a market to fall.
They're going to be sued.
Either way, they're going to get sued, but they're going to get sued by every single person that made money, lost money, whether they had an account at Robinhood or not.
There's going to be so much, so much legal paper flying around Wall Street these next few months.
We'll see what happens.
Now, Vlad, uh, well, you've been to jail, you did 22 months in jail.
Vlad with that, you know, long hair, hair, and you know, creamy skin.
Legal Paper Flying Around 00:02:08
How does he last in jail?
Do you think that they come for his cheeks first?
What do you think?
He's an effeminate looking boy.
He can always become someone's wife, and it's not a big deal.
But listen, in all seriousness, if Vlad ever goes to jail, and I don't wish that on anybody, right?
I really don't.
Okay, but the type of jail he would go to would not be the type where people are getting butt-fucked by bubble.
Let's just say, you know, it's more like country club jail.
Is that where you went?
Country club?
He was locked up with Thomas Chong in the movie.
I was very fortunate where I went, so I can't complain about that.
Nobody tried you.
Nobody tried you in jail.
Thomas Chong changed this guy's life.
He was locked up with Cheech and Chong.
Oh, shit.
If I dropped the bar or soap in the shower, I wouldn't be any more frightened except if you two guys were together.
I'm going to drop the bar.
It was no better or worse.
I'd fuck you, Doug.
Don't get it too.
I'd fuck you straight up.
I'm watching you exactly.
I'm just saying, the skin looks good.
Your skin looks good.
You don't look like you've been stressed.
Is it Botox?
What's going on?
It's too good.
Nah, just the fountain of middle age I found, you know?
Fountain of middle age.
Okay.
Well, I'm going to short that stock.
All right, Jordan.
Thank you so much, man.
Tell them where they can find you.
I know you got your podcast.
You know, do your drops.
You got it.
Take care, guys.
Okay.
Cheers.
All right, guys.
Welcome to Miami, baby.
We're here.
I hope you enjoyed the episode.
Obviously, we're going to be back for Patreon Friday, and we will see you there.
Patreon.com slash flagrant sue.
Thank you so much.
These motherfuckers over at what was the patron?
All gas, no breaks.
Yeah.
They bumped us out of the top five.
Now we're six.
So we can't let that shit happen.
We're not going to let people do us like that.
Are we going to let people fucking do us like that?
Hell no.
So we're coming for their next with machetes.
Okay.
We're in Miami, coming for next with Machetes.
We're going to show you all gas, no breaks.
Honestly, the guy makes good content, so I fuck with him.
But still, we're coming for that top five and we're coming for that number one.
Go check that out right now.
Thank you so much for listening.
We love you.
We appreciate you.
And thank you for following us down south.
God bless.
