Dan Schultze, Akash Singh, Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, and Truffle dissect Bill Burr's critique of media networks prioritizing shareholder profits over truth by amplifying Donald Trump. They debate whether social platforms kill via misinformation or connect lives, condemn Johnson & Johnson for benzene liabilities, and argue against lockdowns while analyzing UFC dynamics where charismatic underdogs drive pay-per-view interest. Ultimately, the group suggests Jake Paul's upcoming fight lacks stakes without a compelling opponent, highlighting how entertainment value often supersedes athletic legitimacy in modern sports and media landscapes.

Controlling The Weather00:15:14
What's up, everybody, and welcome to Flagrant 2.
It's your boy Schultze.
We got Akash Singh here, Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, and Truffle.
Fuck.
And Mark thinks I'm crazy for something, but I believe it to be 100% true.
Okay.
And Mark, what is it?
I won't say, I don't think you're crazy.
Okay.
I think you're kind of crazy.
Backtracking already.
I think you're kind of crazy.
See?
I think you're inconsistent.
That's what I'm saying.
See, it's not inconsistent.
Oh, he's calling you inconsistent, bro.
Them fighting warriors.
It's worse than crazy.
That's way worse.
I'm inconsistent.
We know that about it.
Hippocrates, bro.
Yeah, exactly.
So that's nothing new.
But with this, I'm consistent.
What is it?
What is it?
So we were talking about how bad the weather was in New York.
Okay.
And Andrew's just sitting at lunch, goes, yeah, man.
Like, you think they're doing it on purpose?
No, That's what you said.
I didn't say you think.
I go, I think.
I don't care what you think.
I think they're doing it on purpose.
I think they're seeding the clouds.
I go, hey, he goes, yeah, seeding the clouds.
They're seeing the clouds.
I was like, what are you saying?
They're seeing the clouds.
What is this?
Is this what they did in China?
When Mark thinks you're conspiratorial, some shit has gone left.
Some shit has gone on.
It's gone right, bro.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, bro, this is what they did in China for the Olympics.
Remember, nobody could breathe in China when they had the Olympics.
So they started seeding the clouds, make the air a little bit more fresh.
You can make shit rain if you want to.
It's a fact.
You don't know this.
What's the motive?
You don't know this.
This is known.
It's a way who's controlling the weather.
No one cares.
No, he doesn't.
He doesn't.
I don't know what worked too.
Sorry.
He took your shit too, man.
Listen, let's see.
But Jesus?
I'm wide with it.
I'm wise.
He's spinning out there.
He's doing my Jesus shit.
It's some triple to force.
If you really want to spin, you got to tuck it in.
If I go wide, I'm trying to slow it down.
What I'm trying to tell you guys is if you guys don't know about this, that's fine.
What I'm trying to tell you is motherfuckers out there are making it rain.
Okay?
They want us inside.
So dude, who's the motherfuckers?
Yo, it's Magic City outside.
Who the motherfuckers are, son?
Who is it, bro?
Who's controlling the weather?
They are saying it.
You want me to tell you?
Yo, who did it?
Say it.
I want to say it.
Christians.
Nobody ever says that.
It's usually all the Jews' fault, but it's probably Christians that was up to.
That is true, yo.
Listen, yo, y'all got numbers.
Y'all be running shit.
What do we do about the weather?
Christians, what the Christians do, they're little puppeteers, and they put the Jews out there, so everybody hates them, but it was really the Christians that go to control.
They're the fall guys.
They've been controlling shit for the longest.
You said that the Jews killed Jesus.
Y'all really did that.
Right?
Y'all really did that.
Oh, he died for your sins.
That wasn't you guys.
Oh, that's also on y'all.
I have a good point, actually.
All I'm saying is that's what the Christians do.
Thank you, Jews.
They put the Jews out there in front.
They take the brunt of the criticism, the front of the controversy.
Y'all not making it rain.
You can't rain.
You hate the rain.
Jews in the rain?
Yeah.
They went to the desert for a reason.
Yeah.
Okay.
You can't work in the rain.
Yeah, they're not trying to take over Florida.
Oh, come on, come on.
Come on.
Come on, that'd be crazy.
Yeah, that's right.
You picked wrong with Florida.
You guys pick wrong with real estate.
I got to say.
You choose the wrong fucking places.
Wait, wait, what?
That's crazier than your cloud thing.
Let me take back.
Let me take back.
With real estate, they're pretty good.
But when it comes to a place where their people should go live.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're not good at homelands.
Exactly.
Homelands.
You're not good at homelands.
You're bad at homelands.
Yeah.
You're great landlords, but you're not good at finding the place yourselves to live in.
Exactly.
That's great.
Well said.
Well said.
Back to making it rain.
I believe that people are making it rain so we don't go outside, that we don't fraternize, we don't go to party, we don't go club, everybody hangs out inside, watches Netflix, and etc.
The crazy thing.
You don't think that that's true?
It rains every day in New York.
Every day this summer, Al.
Has it rained every single day in New York this summer?
It's fucking July.
You're in a hoodie.
You're in a hoodie in July.
He's not doing a bit.
He's not doing a bit.
You wear green in July.
He brought this up to me in confidence.
Like, he said it to me in confidence.
Like, yo, like, do you think this is going on?
Yo, in confidence and with confidence.
Okay?
Full confidence on display.
Yo, it makes it rain.
You know what got me?
You're doing it to keep people inside and the Netflix.
Watch it right now.
He's paying my funny.
Watch it right now.
Watch it right now.
Watch what the weather is this week.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck.
Ah, shit.
Listen.
Man, sunny ass.
God damn.
Rainy and sunny.
No, no, no, They're going to make it rain Wednesday.
They're going to make it rain Wednesday.
And they're going to make it rain Sunday.
Yo.
Why don't they make it rain in California where it's a legit fucking drought for decades on end?
They want people to burn.
Yeah.
There's overpopulation.
There's too much traffic in California.
Burn them out.
That's what they're saying.
Burn them out.
Yo, you don't want to keep them inside to stop the traffic?
You know, Californians don't drive when it rains.
Yes, they do.
They get into their car and drive.
They have covers on the car.
They can't drive in the rain.
Californians can't drive in the rain.
Vroom.
You know what I mean?
350.
You're comfortable that fell apart real quick.
Better y'all drop top.
Porsche.
Porsche.
Okay?
The VW Porsche.
VW.
Porsche.
I should be vrooming, though.
No, but let's be serious.
You guys, listen, y'all don't know anything about science, so you can't refute what I'm saying.
I know everything about science.
Shut up.
You don't even believe in science.
You don't believe in fucking dinosaurs.
Have you ever seen a dinosaur?
Have you ever seen a dinosaur?
Have you ever seen someone see the clouds?
Wait, what?
Why is it so hard to believe you can see the clouds?
You never see the fucking condensation on a Pepsi?
That's clouds, okay?
You never had a Pepsi right there.
Look, this about to be condensed, too.
Yo, let me tell you something.
You about to have a single condensation.
You lose it right now.
So he putting me over.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
This is what's happening.
The worst information in the world is on your phone.
This is why I'm doing your phone.
Yo, that's another reason you're crazy.
I forgot about that.
Because you got to get off the phone.
That when you cross your legs.
Yeah.
When you go like that, they go dick up balls down.
You're crazy.
That's also crazy.
That's all so crazy.
Dick up balls down.
It's crazy.
Dick up balls down.
It's crazy.
Crazy.
That's crazy.
Why not?
Y'all don't just tuck your dick into your belly button when it's on soft?
This shit crazy.
And tuck it into your belly button on soft.
I dock my dick in my belly.
That's not the weird part, bro.
What?
The weird part is they're.
Why go balls down?
You're sitting on your balls underneath your body.
That's the crazy.
Just one day.
Why is that weird?
I'm in a soft.
That's inconsistent.
That's inconsistent.
They're both both up.
You know what I mean?
My dick is up right now.
My balls are down.
I have one ball left.
There it is.
Dick up balls down.
If y'all had balls like this, you would do it too.
Y'all don't.
You're jealous.
I don't understand how you can do it.
It's called having a huge cock.
No, That's what it is.
No, that's probably why I'm lost right now.
It's called having a huge cock, guys.
Sorry.
Sorry, you don't understand it.
A lot of shit y'all don't understand.
Is that a medical diagnosis?
Yeah, it is.
It is, for real.
I had a doctor tell me.
That's how you got the hemorrhoids.
I said like that.
That shit is just...
You're just fucking fucking bad.
That's why you're shitting me.
You say it all the time your balls are mad baby.
That's why, bro.
You're cutting it off.
Yeah, you're cutting off blood flow or something.
Fucking up.
How much longer do you think they're gonna get?
Yo, check your sperm count.
Yeah, bro.
You're talking about unseating your balls.
Losing your seats.
You killing them, bro.
Seed your nuts.
Well, get the juice and see them.
Get some condensation going in your ball bag.
Bro, fuck y'all.
You don't think it's a little bit weird that it's been raining every single day in the summer of New York City?
We're talking about hot, hot, hot summer New York City.
You know what?
I tell you, dead ass, when I moved to New York, I was like, Son, it rains a lot here in the summer.
That's my dead ass thought.
No, you're not.
You're retrofitting that.
You're returning.
That is super retrofit.
That's retrofitting.
No, it's not retrofitting.
You just retrofitted that.
You hate New York, bro.
I know you.
You hate New York.
Look at your shirt.
Look at your shirt, you fucking piece of shit.
You guys insulted my shirt, so I came with it today.
He hates New York, dog.
He wants it to rain every single day, so we're miserable here.
He hates it.
He hates it, dude.
He's a hater, bro.
You're a fucking hater, dog.
Hater, dog.
You're a hater.
I'm so happy because I thought you were making fun of him.
He's making fun of me.
I'm so mad about it.
He hates New York, dog.
He wants it to rain every single day.
He's happy.
It rains all the time, bro.
What?
It rains all the time.
And I remember saying that to my aunt, and she was a fucking idiot.
She was like, yeah, any place it snows a lot, it rains a lot.
Whoa.
It doesn't snow a lot here.
What are you talking about?
Only when they want it to snow.
They haven't made it snow in years.
Think about it.
Back in the day, mad torrential snowstorms, dog.
What was crazy?
What was the reason why they wanted to snow?
Because Thanksgiving parade, it's way more lit.
It never rained.
It never snowed.
It wasn't.
It was way more lit.
It never snow on Thanksgiving.
Yes, it did.
Go back in the day.
I was there with my dad looking at Snoopy night before walking around Upper West Side.
The preview?
At the preview, you always go preview.
You don't go day of.
What are we fucking from Jersey?
And you want a white Christmas as well, you know?
White Christmas.
Why wouldn't they have it snow on Christmas?
Who wants a white Christmas?
Well, because Black Lives Matter been yapping all goddamn winter.
We can't have a white fucking Christmas.
We don't come out in the cold.
The colour march is always true.
Oh, they got to crank up that snow.
Crank up the snow, boys.
Well, actually, no, Minnesota, it was mad snowy, right?
No, it wasn't.
No, was it?
When they were protesting?
No.
Also, blacks are cool with the cold.
I thought that would make them make more fires.
Blacks there are cool with the cold.
And Minnesota blacks can't handle all the cold.
Oh, yeah, those are different blacks.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
They're some alliance.
They can't handle no fucking cold.
What?
They're somalians.
They can't handle no fucking cold.
No, dude, they're built for it, dude.
Samuelians?
Samalians.
Absolutely.
100%.
Part of me thinks it's like a pirate thing.
Yeah, that could be too.
You're out on the seas in the water, like it's chilly.
They're built for discomfort, dog.
They're built for discomfort.
That I can agree with.
100%.
You replace hunger with cold, and then they're 100% fucked up.
They're good with discomfort, though.
Cold blocks out the hunger.
Exactly.
I got you.
Yeah, they're ready.
I got you.
These people are ready.
I had a joke about that, how, like, their women are finally dressed appropriately.
Covered head to toe.
That's why they moved there.
They moved to Minnesota, and it's like, okay, that's kind of nice.
I wasn't on my side here.
Thank you, Lutherans.
Oh, fucking.
It was you guys.
No, you're not Lutheran.
No.
Yo, the big lesson from this is thank you, Jews.
You know what I mean?
Why?
Killed Jesus for our sins.
Yeah, that's kind of true.
He's died for our sins, but you killed him.
Jews didn't kill him.
That was Catholics.
How did Cali?
Call us.
He used Jews as a scapegoat for all their shit.
That's God right there, yo.
That wasn't good.
Damn, Al.
Back-checking us.
Jeez.
But no, you use Jews as a scapegoat for all your shit.
All that Epstein stuff, it's a bunch of fucking Catholics at the top, caring for you.
Whoa!
A bunch of fucking red stuff.
Did Epstein do anything at the top?
Epstein did stuff.
Can I tell you guys something?
I've been waiting for you.
Can I tell you guys something?
If you really want to know about Epstein, guess who I saw last night?
Guess who I saw at dinner last night?
Ghislaine Maxwell.
Not Ghislaine.
No.
Prince Andrew's daughter and husband.
Really?
Yes.
Beatrice, I believe her name is.
And I almost pulled up on that royal bitch.
I did.
I almost pulled up, but then I remembered you cannot punish the daughter for the sins of the father.
I think there was like a Game of Thrones episode or something about that.
Or maybe it was Harry Potter.
That's immortal joke.
Yeah, but I remember that.
It's not her fault that her dad is a disgusting pedophile.
That being said, she must have known this whole time.
And no magic in the muggle world.
That's all.
You're not allowed to have magic in the muggle world.
That's also important.
Yeah, Princess.
That was important to remember.
We're all fucking muggles every single day.
Hey, Chill, Jill.
Jill, watch your fucking mouth, dog.
I'm being fucking mouthed.
The way you're doing.
Hey, hey, you fucking mudbud.
Watch your fucking mouth.
Whenever I see you all the wand, I'm like, look at this mugget over here, dude.
You're cradling that fucking wand.
Surprised you don't swallow it.
It's fucking muggles, dude.
Hey.
Just disgusting.
Okay, can we actually do a podcast here?
Yeah, let's be sad.
Now that we've all agreed to do that.
I'm loving not being the continued scapegoat.
I was like, Andrew, go.
No, no, no.
I would like to say one thing.
The guy came up to Vala yesterday, no, two days ago, while we were in Glorious Denver, and he goes, Vala, are you Vala?
And Vala goes, Yeah.
He goes, You're the guy that gets way more pussy than Dub.
So you're known for getting second most pussy.
Yeah, that's actually pretty good.
It is pretty good.
It's good.
Pass off the torch.
I just want quality now of what I really think.
Man, that sounds like quality.
Yeah, but more than just looks.
What do you care about now?
Someone can bring a Shabbat.
Oh, you want Jew?
He's been fake wanting to date Jew.
He's been saying since I met him.
Never one Jew.
Never had one Jewish.
I had one Jewish.
Everywhere, Dove.
You're in Miami.
You're in New York.
You kind of insult a Jewish shit.
Just walk up the block.
Yeah, just roll a penny down there.
What did he say?
Roll a penny down the street.
There'll be a fucking stampede of the shit after.
Looking up Fifth Avenue, like, is Sinema's dad about to die or is that a fucking nickel roll?
Should have made a new massive.
Oh, my God.
No, that is true.
You're closeted, bro.
You're closeted.
You're a closeted Shiksa lover.
You're a closeted Shiksha lover.
Yeah.
You're not gay.
You are a closeted Christian.
Whoa.
You do like dating Christian girls.
No, but the first couple were Christian girls.
I'm a recovering Christian.
You gotta recover, dog.
You're addicted.
You're addicted to that Christian puss, dude.
You love that drippy Christian puss.
Yo, you'd love a nice, drippy Christian.
Dove needs his crucifix.
You know what I mean?
He needs his crucifix.
Yo, that's so true, dude.
You love Christian girls, bro.
What is it about Christian girls?
What is it?
What is it about women going to heaven that you want to date so badly?
There's nothing.
It's the girl.
It's.
He loves it.
I don't know.
He loves it, dude.
He's spinning right now.
Dude, it is bad.
It is bad.
You can feel they're going to heaven or something.
Yeah.
I'm jealous that Andrew's lady has a, I mean, her 23andMe that would qualify.
Jew.
She's Jew.
But she still feels Christian.
She's Jew.
She's Jew.
I'm dating a full fucking Jew, bro.
Dude, I am.
This walking around my apartment.
We know.
Say whatever you want right now.
Get it all out.
No, but let all the F-words fly in the world.
Racism In DC Tickets00:08:29
It don't matter.
No, for real.
I'm dating a full fucking Jew, dude.
Dude, it's and I, yeah, but she's culturally Christian.
Yeah.
Right?
So that's that.
That is the distinguishing factor.
She's culturally Christian.
But that's what Dove wants.
That's what Dove wants.
That's what Dove is implying.
Oh.
Because you get to say she's a Jewish, but she's.
But you don't have to deal with all that Jewish shit.
Well, culturally, you guys know Shabbat is lit.
I don't know what Shabbat is, bro.
Stop dinner.
Just call it dinner.
What is Shabbat?
Everybody makes a big fucking deal of this.
They all hang out on Friday and have dinner before they turn the lights out for the weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah, but we don't leave the lights on.
But wait, like, stop acting like it's not that lit.
Like, it's not a thing.
You go around a table, you're just like, yeah, black people do that for me.
I see that show.
I see that show on Netflix.
It's the Sabbath.
I know.
You just picked up.
You know, the show on Netflix when they're at the table, they're just like, unorthodox?
Yeah.
Unorthodox.
That's far.
Yeah.
I thought that was love below the spectrum.
Below the spectrum?
Is he on the screen?
He's a creative spectrum.
What the fuck is below the spectrum?
He's talking about below the spectrum as a sequel.
Yeah.
It's way crazy.
Oh, that's a bad thing.
He's love below the spectrum.
That's sick, dude.
Because if you're within the spectrum, then shit is kind of like normal.
That's a little odd.
There's two vegetables dating races.
Paralyzed.
But mentally.
Mentally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
But listen, now that we've got everything worked out, I think it's time that we start our podcast.
Okay.
But we also didn't ask Arkash about his honeymoon.
Oh, yeah.
You went on a honeymoon.
Yeah, it was great, dude.
It was great.
Good to be back.
Good to have wedding stuff out of it.
It wasn't great.
Be honest about it.
Be honest about it.
No, I think it was great.
Look how nice he is.
No, he got it.
He looks refreshed.
Archosh is different, bro.
But it wasn't good.
It was insect-infested.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there was mad insects.
Where'd you go?
Four seasons and it was insect-infested.
Tell them this is the Bahamas and tell the people what they said to you.
They literally look at Akash after he's complained twice about insects and they're like, well, we don't know who brought them in.
I thought that it could be, I thought it could be them that brought the insects.
Delta variant.
Yeah.
It was racist.
It was super racist.
It was racist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Remember when we were doing the show in DC and they put you and all of your family in room 7-Eleven?
Yes.
I remember.
I remember that.
We stayed at a hotel.
Yeah, I remember.
What happened?
It sounds like I'm making it up.
It's on that number.
What happened?
I don't even know if it was DC.
No, he came to visit.
My family visited New York City and then he came to hang out, meet my brother.
And I think my cousin's sister basically was there.
And they put us in room 7-Eleven.
I didn't even pick up on it because I don't look for racism.
But Andrew was like, I do.
They put you in room 7-11.
I go, where are you friends?
Then she goes, yeah, it's room 7-11.
I go, what do you mean?
And I think it's happened another time.
And the other time I knew about it, and the other time might have been DC, where I was doing a show with the Brownish guys, and they put one of us in room 7-11.
I'm like, this now it feels intentional.
This is my airport, my new airport.
Yeah.
I didn't say it like that.
They could say 7-1-1.
But they don't know.
7-11.
They root off and everything.
And your dumbass didn't even pick it up.
They said it right to your face.
Hey, I don't look for racism.
You know what I mean?
I'm an open-minded guy.
I just live my life.
Damn, bro.
And then when you were like, they put you in 7-Eleven, you got to be kidding me.
I was like, wait, isn't 9-11 the racist one?
I was so dead ass.
I was like, what?
Oh, hey.
But that is kind of crazy, right?
It felt a little intentional, a little personal.
Black people are racist, bro.
It was a black person that did that.
It was a black person.
It's a little game.
You wouldn't play that game.
You got to return the favor.
If there's a black dude staying at an Indian hotel.
Ooh.
What do you put them in?
What room would you put them in, bro?
Do they have three-fifths of a room?
What do you room 911 and whenever they call, you just never show up?
Shit.
They're like, can I have eggs?
You're like, oh, yeah, we're going to beat this shit out of you.
What room do you put the black people in?
What room?
Al, what room?
Sorry.
What happened?
I don't know.
He called it.
Oh.
But what room would you put them in?
Black people?
I don't know.
This is him.
He came up with this shit.
I like it.
I'm waiting on you.
No, I said 911.
I like that one.
I think there's a more racist one.
What's going on?
What's happening?
I ordered food.
These motherfuckers, I keep telling you.
Just leave the fuck up.
I know.
Holy shit.
Yes.
How did you know that we're recording the podcast?
Have you ever walked into the middle of the podcast, sir?
Okay, leave the food.
You got him.
He's good.
Is he gone yet?
Hey, yes.
Okay.
I heard the dog.
Do you want to guess what he looks like?
Yes.
Was he Mexican or Asian with a full trench coat, even though it's 95-degree?
Asian, Asian with a full trench coat.
I figured Asian.
Asian's got one outfit.
It doesn't matter the season.
Yeah.
I never seen an Asian in a bubble jacket.
It's just a full trench coat.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter the season.
Okay?
Mittens.
Because they got to hide the sword.
The what?
The sword.
The sword.
Samurais.
Oh, that type of Asian.
I was implying there's Samurai.
That was fucking racist, bro.
He got sued from me.
You're a racist.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can we begin this podcast?
Yes.
Finally, fucking A. Because I actually have a serious story I'd like to tell you.
Okay.
Let's begin.
If there's any scammers, there's any hustlers that are listening right now and you're trying to make some money doing illegal shit.
I just want to say, in the beginning, I don't condone any of this, but this is wrong.
You shouldn't do this.
You shouldn't break the law.
In no way are we supporting the breaking of the law on this podcast.
That being said, if somebody was to break the law, here is a great way to do it where you can make a lot of money fast.
Okay?
Please don't harm anybody.
Okay.
There's this blogger girl that my Jew wife ought to be.
My Jew fiancé.
Fiancé.
Yeah, this Jew broad that I live with.
And it's going to be my wife that I'm going to make little Julets, little Jew kids with.
Can you raise them Hasidic?
You know what's crazy?
My kids are going to be Jewish and yours aren't.

Anyway, so anyway, scammers, listen up.
Hustlers, listen up.
Okay.
So don't do this.
I'm saying don't do this.
My girl follows this blogger or vlogger, right?
And she's a fashion vlogger, right?
And her name is Tamara Kalinich is her name, right?
I think she lives in Paris, whatever.
And she talks about, you know, getting bags and how to get bags from these fancy places, et cetera.
The bags are very hard to get.
It's kind of like sneakers with us.
You know, like a drop is hard to get a hold of.
You have to pay crazy resale.
You know, there's no flight club for bags, but there are these resale places, right?
So turns out all these fashion vloggers, right?
They film all the shit in their house.
They don't make that much money, right?
They're not broke, but they're not swimming in it.
We're not talking about like millionaires, et cetera.
But what they are is selling a lifestyle.
A lot of times they get offered like free trips to certain places to promote a hotel, to promote even like a new restaurant, these types of things.
These expensive brands will give them bags.
They don't have the money to pay for the bags, but you get a free bag from Prada, a free bag from Hermes.
Maybe not free bag from Hermes, but like bags from these like super high exclusives.
So they're doing these videos.
They're doing it in their apartments.
They're in like the windows of their apartments.
They're maybe on their balconies.
You know where these girls live.
It's not that hard.
You can see the building that's across the street.
Like it's very easy.
They're saying what city they're in.
This girl got robbed for $300,000 worth of shit.
Woo!
Okay.
They just came into her fucking window from the courtyard in her building while she was gone.
She was gone.
They knew that she was gone because I think it was like Paris Fashion Week.
So they knew that she was at some point.
She's vlogging and saying where she is.
Exactly.
Now, she said she's careful about it.
Like, I never say where I am.
Like, I will tag a place, but after I've left the place.
But the thing that's really interesting about this is this is the easiest come up because the stuff that these girls have is the most flippable shit on the street.
Yes.
If you get a necklace for $100,000, who are you selling that necklace to?
Like, you got to find a jeweler.
The jeweler is going to go, I know you stole this motherfucking necklace.
I'm going to give you 10% of the value.
A bag?
Write to eBay.
Make even more money on it.
Doc X, whatever the fuck, done.
The watches, all this shit.
She had, I think, what was it?
300,000, 300,000 euros worth of shit that was missing.
Three Protect Philippe watches.
That's half a million dollars.
Half a million.
Protect Philippe watches.
Get the fuck out.
It's the most expensive watch in the world.
Crazy, right?
You got a bunch of these bags.
She had like a whole bunch of shit that was taken.
This is the beginning of this.
And the reason this is the beginning is because usually the people that can afford this type of stuff, right?
They got security around them.
If you got three Protect Philippes, right?
You got security around you.
You're moving in a different way.
You're in some super expensive building.
The thing with this happening right now is these fashion vloggers are getting all this expensive shit that they could never afford.
So now they don't have the lifestyle to protect it.
If you got half a million dollars worth of shit in your house just chilling that can be easily removed and nobody even knows the difference.
You just got to come in with a backpack.
Yeah.
Right.
And you have no security.
You're not paying for like 24-hour security because they can't.
These are the marks.
These are the perfect setups.
This is not Kim Kardashian getting robbed in a hotel.
This is the average girl that might be making under six figures, right?
So she can't afford the protection for all the shit she got in there.
And she's displaying all the shit she got constantly.
She's on Instagram bragging.
Yo, here's my new Hermes.
And the scammers are just going, oh, word?
You don't even have to case it because, like, she's showing, like, here's my room.
Here's the door.
Here's where the bathroom is.
Like, she's showing you everything.
Son, I think this is the beginning, and I think all these people are getting how did it take so long?
That's a great question.
I mean, like, it's a great question.
We were raised, different generation, no internet exposing your whole life, no social media.
We're raised, don't let her flaunt your shit because you'll get robbed.
Their whole life is flaunting their shit.
How are they not getting robbed?
I don't understand how it's not happening all the time already.
Especially when they're not at a level where they can protect the shit they're flaunting.
Yeah.
Because usually, if you're paying for something, right?
You understand that you have to maintain a lifestyle that can protect that.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, if you buy a fancy car, you have to have enough money for a garage.
Yep.
Right?
Just kind of like basic knowledge of stuff, right?
Or if you, I'm trying to think of another thing.
Like you get a Tesla model from a guy who can't afford one, you put it in a garage.
Damn, bro.
He was him, bro.
That's foul.
Yeah, that was nice.
You're not coming to Shabab, bro.
Yeah.
You're not invited.
Uninvited.
No, no.
Oh, no.
Where am I going to get my halabred, huh?
Every corner in the city.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, well, this story was happening in 2013.
They'd made that movie Bling Ring when the first time you really heard about this was from when Paris Hilton and Lindsey Loahan, because they were in this Jet Set crowd.
That's when like the people breaking in.
It was the first time you heard that it wasn't like ski mask, like just adult men breaking in.
It was like people that were at the same clubs, girls.
The groups were girls that would party with them and they would do that.
I have a take on that.
I think all that shit was fake.
That's possible.
Well, I think all that show is insurance fraud.
So your point, if this girl, that what's happening now, if you're getting a bag for free, but then you're insuring that bag and you can get money back.
So that's another thing, right?
You could easily she can't sell the shit she gets because then she's going to ruin the relationship she has with these brands.
Yeah.
Right?
So how do you make money off of things you have?
Yeah.
Right.
Without selling them.
You got robbed.
You can only do this one time.
It's but it's like to me, maybe she's that dumb, but to me, the whole reason you do this is to try to become a seven-figure person.
For what you try to ascend to the next level, you can't ever do this again.
And you are that person.
And like, how much can you make a nut though?
But here's the thing.
You don't have to do it again, maybe.
Now she's the most talkative in that circle.
Oh my God, you got robbed.
It's like being arrested for a dude is cool.
Being robbed for a girl is cool.
Like you have so much cool shit that motherfuckers try to rob you.
Maybe the company.
It's a true crime project.
Maybe the company doesn't even care because just saying protect Philippe here, 600,000 people heard protect Philippe.
Well, the companies are through the roof.
Our goods are robbable.
Yeah.
Like our goods are worth breaking.
And now, not only is it seen on her little vlog, now podcasts, our podcasts, podcasts like us, news outlets, they're all mentioning these brands, and it's just word of mouth advertising.
Go.
And the brands have sympathy for her.
And they're going to be like, oh, let's give you the newest one of this and the newest.
And then they look good.
And that's another advertising for you.
And she got her insurance money.
So now she's got the bag up.
Like, oh, she's good.
That's smart if she did that.
If that happened.
But it's kind of wild, though, right?
Like, don't you see these girls as potentially the new marks?
Oh, yeah, dude.
Yeah.
How's it not happening?
You just got to know how to seek them out, though, because this girl's audience, I'm sure, is all young female fashion girls.
Like, the only reason I know this exists is because of my girl.
Right.
Works in fashion.
Whereas this happens with rappers all the time, where like they're posting about it, but like they're appealing to an audience of people that might be more inclined to steal shit.
Right.
Yeah.
Whereas they flaunt more because they have like a bunch of money around their neck.
Right.
It's way easier to just steal that one thing than to try to get it.
But they're also 30.
Not always, though.
Not always.
But if you, you know, if you're going to rob a rapper that talks about how he kills people, you got to be prepared.
Yeah.
Even if you think he's full of it, he might not be.
True.
I don't think I show up with a gun to these girls' house.
Yeah.
If you literally just get in the front door and you say, give me everything, what are they going to do?
Yeah.
Literally, what are they going to do?
Start vlogging.
But like in the hood, for example, a lot of drug dealers get robbed all the time because they're doing something illegal.
So it's like they can't go to the cops.
So I think rappers also kind of, you know, some of them are on the line with things.
So it's like they tend to be like, oh, I'll deal with it in the street.
But just raw animal fear.
You can't.
You can't snitch because you talk so much shit about how snitches have stitches.
But then it's more risk to go rob these types of people because it's like, oh, hey, if I get you on camera, I'm going to the cops.
No, but I'm saying just raw just raw fear.
Animal fear.
If I rob these rappers, it's a thing.
In that moment, it's a fucking thing.
That's, I think, a more primal fear than, oh, they won't be afraid to go to the cops, blah, blah, blah.
I just got to be a little smarter about that, but I'm not getting to a fucking potential shootout if I rob some female vlogger.
True.
You know what I mean?
And now with the mask, sorry to cut you, but like, oh, yeah.
You just hop in the back of a cab, pay cash.
You got a mask on the whole time.
Not an Uber, just a cab.
Mastery.
Color context.
Glasses.
You're good.
Still difficult, bro.
What?
Like, you got a cab has to be there.
How many cabs we see?
It's Ubers everywhere now.
No, you can get cabs on the street.
Yeah, but you can also.
In New York, not anyplace else.
Paris?
You think you can't get a cab in Paris?
I don't know.
Yeah, 100%.
It's harder to get cabs in other places.
Like, London is all about.
I mean, it's hard to get Ubers.
London's all about cabs.
Anyway, I just thought it's an interesting thing.
I think a lot of these chicks are about to start getting robbed.
And I think that's fine.
Or faking robberies.
And I think a lot of the girls that follow them ain't going to have that much sympathy.
Fox News Selling Attention00:15:28
No.
Because there's a lot of like hate/slash love follow.
Yeah.
You know, it's like, I like seeing these things and learning how to get these things, but why the fuck you get it for free?
Yeah.
You don't got a job.
You just prance around for a living, wearing cute shit, and then people give you shit that I can't even buy.
So it's like, I love your style, but fuck you.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, that's how they came out, like Kim Kardashian in Paris, because she got robbed like $10 million worth of stuff, like $5 million just for the ring that Kanye gave her.
And then they made like a kind of a family promise to kind of skip all the jewelry for a while.
There was a time where they weren't doing it.
They're back to work.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, they want everything, but there was a period where they're like, nah.
Okay.
What else we got, guys?
There's another interesting story.
Obviously, this is kind of making arounds.
Bill Burr is out here.
Love it.
It's really great.
Love it.
And this is the effect of like saying something that everybody feels.
Yes.
Right.
He says literally for a minute on his podcast.
I think it starts around like the 15-minute mark and ends around like 16 and a half minutes.
It's a minute-long rant just about how shitty CNN is of a channel.
Right.
And this one minute kind of explodes.
He not only shits on CNN, he says MSNBC, Fox News, he says they're all the fucking same thing.
They're un-American.
They're treasonous.
Their ratings have tanked in this massive way.
I think like CNN ratings are down 68% or something like that.
I think Fox is down like 27 too.
But like without Trump, there's this void in interest for the news.
Now nothing is newsworthy.
We don't really give a fuck anymore.
So they need Trump.
So they're starting to talk about Trump.
And then his whole thing was by talking about him and giving him all this free airtime, you're going to get him elected again.
And you want it.
You want Darth Vader because you need it for your relevance.
Yes.
Like the news is this place that is not just telling us what has happened.
The news is selling attention.
Yes.
And without us paying attention, they have nothing to sell ads on.
Yeah.
So they need the big fucking attention.
They're selling ads, like you said.
They're selling ads.
And the only way to get more money for ads is have more people watching.
How do you get more people watching?
Let's drum up controversy.
Let's drum up whatever.
Let's get people emotionally to watch us because then they don't look away.
Who's better at that than Trump?
Yeah, the most reliable thing is fear.
Yes.
Fear, fear.
Fear.
And they prey on fear.
And nothing terrifies your average Democrat liberal than the idea of Trump getting elected again.
And I'm sure we've had this conversation because I think we've all thought it.
I know I've thought it.
We're like, dude, Trump was a joke when he first started running in 2016.
They used to say he had to pay people to come to his fucking rallies.
But then the news picked up on the fact that he was saying divisive things and they gave him all the attention in the world.
And the more attention he got, the more people he could reach to be like, yeah, I like what this guy is saying.
Whether it's good or bad or whatever, I don't care.
The point was people are like, oh, now this guy's accessible to me.
And the more I see him, the more I like him.
And that is a major reason he got elected.
I don't care what anybody says.
And I think we've all probably said this independently, but the power of Burr saying it is different because he's at that level now.
Also, there's certain people like if you give them more attention, right?
They're going to expose themselves.
Right.
Right.
Like, we know motherfuckers, like, the longer you shine a light on them, the more you realize, oh, they're actually kind of boring or they're uninteresting and they're not that funny.
Like, they're funny within their tiny little enclave, right?
Like, I'm trying to think of certain people that play like an iconic character.
And then once they leave that character, you're like, oh, you're kind of a nerd.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
You're great at that as that character.
The Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec.
That like, he's like the manliest guy.
He's like, I eat steak all day.
I want meat.
And then like he was tweeting some shit, like standing up for like gay rights or whatever.
And everybody's like, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
He's like, bro, I was like a theater kid.
Like, I went through all these traditional theater programs.
Like, I'm playing a character.
This happens a lot with actors.
Right.
It happens a lot, especially like, well, they started hiring the actual mobsters for the mob roles.
But before that, it was a bunch of gay theater dudes who would like mob it up and Italian it up to play all these roles.
This is prior to like Sopranos and shit where they started hiring the real guys.
But like I've been on set with a guy who's like supposed to be a tough New York Italian dude and then they do cut and he's like, yeah, do you think I was really into it?
I think you shine a light on some people and they change or they crumble.
But Trump is an example of a guy who has been entertaining for his entire adult life.
He literally had a TV show where he just had to entertain people.
If you shine the light on him, he will be entertaining.
Yep.
Okay.
They knew that, bro.
They fucking knew that.
They were fine with it.
And this is to what Burr was saying, they want him to get re-elected at the expense of the entire nation because they know he will entertain.
And us talking about him is the only way we can stay relevant.
So let's go.
Yeah.
I don't think they knew it the first time around, though.
I think they were okay with it.
I think you had to see what was happening.
Everybody was kind of in disbelief with Hillary Lowe.
But they were looking at the data like, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Every time we do a story on him, it's going up.
Let's do another story.
It's going up.
And you notice along the way, he's getting more powerful.
He wasn't supposed to win the primaries.
Fucking crush the primaries.
Wasn't even close.
So at a certain point, you can make a moral decision.
If you actually dislike this guy, which they claim to, I'm just calling out their inconsistency, which is, oh, he's actually getting more powerful the more coverage we give him.
We could tamp this down a bit.
And we could not make as much money.
But they can't, though.
Like, because their obligation is to get money for their shareholders.
Yes.
That's why you can't trust that news.
Well, I think that's what it's so frustrating because they present as if they have this moral obligation to tell the truth.
Yes.
But what seems to be true when you look at the reporting is that they have a financial obligation to their shareholders.
And when we see that inconsistency as a viewer, we're like, dude, just don't lie.
Just say that you're a capitalistic business that just tries to profit by any means necessary.
If you said that, run with it.
We don't give a fuck.
Why I'm almost like less annoyed by like this extreme left-wing and the extreme right-wing like uh news.
Like, I don't care how extreme you are, left, like Huffington Post, whatever.
Like, I know what you're doing, you know what you're doing.
Yeah, the game is like, what is it, One America News or something like that?
Like, I know what you're doing, I know what you're here for.
Yeah, it's just to say whatever Trump does is the most perfect thing in the world, right?
So, I can look at that with like some bit of honesty.
They would act like they're just telling the truth, but like, I'm not as annoyed by it.
But, like, when you go, I'm telling you the truth, and that's all we care about.
We're not biased or real news.
I think Fox News is that's their thing.
But the real news, the real news.
Like, come on, stop it.
Yeah, but they can't.
They can't expose themselves because then because they're supposed to be news.
Yeah, yeah.
I hate that sentence, financial obligation to our shareholders, because it's like your way of saying you're a piece of shit and I just have to be a piece of shit.
But, like, just say that from Jump Street.
Don't at the end of the day, we have a financial.
It's just such like a catch-all sentence.
It's like, oh, okay, now we can't call you out for anything.
You have a financial obligation.
You're all pieces of shit.
That's fine.
But own it more.
If CNN was like, hey, man, this guy is good for ratings.
What do you want from us?
Would you turn down 70%?
I mean, we talked about Trump when he was here because we knew people are going to listen.
Yeah, but there are large groups on both sides that like believe that they're telling the truth.
So if they expose themselves, be like, ah, nah, we're just saying what we have to say to everybody.
I understand the reasoning because you got to cater to morons.
But me, as a person who's not quite as stupid as that, I'm like, oh, I can't fuck with this because I see through it.
Yeah, but to appease you, then they lose their base.
They don't have to appease me, but I see what you are and I will call it out.
And that's it.
And I know what it is at the end of the day.
You don't have to appease me.
You got to appease the morons.
But anybody with half a brain knows how biased both sides are.
Every network.
Bro, you'd be surprised, bro.
You'd be surprised.
Like, I got friends who literally just regurgitate CNN talking points.
It's shocking.
Like, close friends.
Yeah.
But it's so susceptible.
Like, I've been in that spot too, where like I'm trying to prove a point to someone and I'm like, oh, yeah, I'll take this article.
I don't even care where it's from.
Yeah, that's true.
And I'm touting some CNN thing that I don't even necessarily believe.
But I'm like, this supports my argument.
But like, I don't even realize that I'm indoctrinated.
That's like how seductive the information is.
You might not be indoctrinated.
It might just confirm the feelings that you already have.
Right.
Because we're just looking for confirmation.
Validation is seductive.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
And it's much easier to feel validated when you have a quote-unquote news network say the same shit that you feel.
Like, oh, it must be true now.
Yeah.
Those guys on the TV with the ticker at the bottom said it.
There's something about the TV and a ticker that makes it feel real.
Yeah.
You know?
And it's just preying on fear.
That's the saddest part to me.
It's just like traumatizing people.
Like there are people that didn't come out of their house for all of the lockdown.
Yeah.
Like didn't weren't running.
They weren't getting the sunlight because they were so terrified by what the news was saying.
Remember when we were watching local news and it was just reporting the news, but if it said breaking news, like that was a big story.
But when you watch CNN or Fox News, it's 24/7.
It's breaking.
It's always breaking.
The fast ticker and the colors and they're just shooting at you like, oh my God, what today?
And then you're like, it has to stay on all the time, like Bloomberg Finance or something.
You just have to keep absorbing it.
And you're like, yeah, this just in.
This just in, this just in.
Monkey pox.
Like, it's just, they are dying for another disease.
Yeah.
If a disease pops up on our shores, they could not be happier.
If there was a CNN producer on the flight with the guy who had the monkeypox all over his hand, he would sit there, mouth shut, and let that motherfucker land in America and infect every single person so that story tomorrow could absolutely murder the raiders.
That's what happened with the monkey monkey virus, which is apparently different than monkeybox.
Okay.
There was a person that died in China from monkey virus.
Of course.
It was like this big headline.
And I was like, oh, fuck, another fucking pandemic or whatever.
I look into it.
It's like, you have to be in contact with a monkey that has the virus, and then like the death rate is whatever.
And I was like, this is a non-story.
Why is this even being pushed?
And the only reason is because there's this COVID, you know, panic.
If you read the monkey box, and maybe because of that, also, but like this story, like people die of one-off random viruses literally every day, all the time.
We're not going to stop dying from COVID.
We're not.
It's the new flu.
It's here every year.
Get the vaccine updated if you want, whatever.
But they're going to keep it going as long as they can.
This is a pandemic.
This is crazy.
As long as people are afraid and like terrified.
You can fear on that.
And that's where I also, what Bill Burr said was really great: you are treasonous.
You are un-American in the guise of a news network.
So that's where you can justifiably call them out.
Like, sure, you can't expose yourselves, but we see what you are.
It is un-American.
It's treasonous.
The solution to me is like just following independent journalists.
Yeah, where you find them, motherfuckers.
You know what I mean?
Like, you got to do work.
Yes, work.
Well, that's the thing.
Like, I don't know if I don't know what the solution is for the masses.
Like, the other solution is state-sponsored media, like BBC.
Well, that's the tricky thing.
You can't have, I guess they do a decent job of it in England, but we got to ask people in England.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because y'all need to make some motherfucking money gambling, and there's only one place to do it, and that's mybookie.ag.
And let me tell you why, okay?
I'm going to tell you why right now because they are doubling your initial deposit bonus up to $1,000.
That's a free thousand dollars that you get to cash the fuck in and make some goddamn money when you make those bets.
A lot of things that we could bet on these days, guys.
There's a lot of things, okay?
There's sports happening right now that you need to put that hard-earned money to use and start building up your kids' college fund.
That's what you do.
You gamble, you use your gambling money to build up your kids' college fund.
All right.
I mean, look, they have the pre-game props, or you could bet games live to shift the odds in your favor and always come out on top.
There's plenty of things that you could put that money.
Just go to mybookie.ag and find all the opportunities.
Just make sure to use the promo code Flagrant.
That's right.
Flagrant.
Okay.
Use that promo code Flagrant.
They are matching your initial deposit bonus up to $1,000.
It's free money.
How could you not spend it?
Dude.
Kids need it.
They're going to want to go to college.
So make that college fund happen at mybookie.ag.
Now let's get back to the show.
But like, yeah, you don't want state-sponsored journalism because it's state-sponsored.
Exactly.
Well, you're going to say it doesn't have to be one or the other.
You have to fax that ass up playing every single year.
The beginning of every program.
Like the head of CNN comes from like the scripted film and TV world.
And so he came in there saying, spin the narratives.
You know, spin it.
You know how good they are at like making docks and things like that?
Like they're a proper movie studio.
I mean, Bourdain, like, that's what you're good for, CNN.
They made Blackfish.
Remember that doc?
And Bourdain's like parts of Known.
Like, they're storytellers.
They know how to do it.
But so what is the answer?
It's like putting it, should there be a rule like if you have a newspaper that they have to be journalists at the top, like that are making decisions?
The tricky thing is it's also some personal accountability.
Like we don't want the truth.
Yeah.
We don't want the truth.
The majority of us want confirmation.
We don't want information.
We want confirmation, right?
That's what we're constantly seeking.
And when we're in a place, like I think we have to go to a place where we have so little faith in the news that is that we're digesting that all of a sudden there's enough of like a void or vacuum in the middle where like truth will be valuable again.
And then that will exist maybe for like 10 years and then we'll start going, ugh, I don't want all this truth.
It's not fun.
Yeah, make me feel good or make me feel scared.
But like make me feel something.
Because the reality is like the center shit is not that interesting.
It's not.
At the end of the day, it's entertainment, especially a 24-hour news network.
I have to keep you entertained all day, every day.
You know how fucking exhausting that is.
Yeah.
That's why Sports Center, there's so much sports gossip on Sports Center.
Do you want to read an article about how your home in Santa Barbara is going to get burned down by this fire?
Or do you want to read an article about how like there's a 30% chance, but also a 60% chance that maybe like rain will start and then that will subside the fire?
I'm more likely to read the my home is gonna burn down.
Yeah, your home is gonna burn down.
Oh, tell me why.
Yeah, you don't want like a rational take on your home burning, even if want it's like what am I more likely to read?
The one that panics me, the fucking home is gonna burn down.
Yeah, I think want is a weird word because I think you want to be calm.
I think like human beings want to be at peace, but you can't look away.
Can't I agree with you?
We might want it, but our system isn't designed for it.
Right, yeah, it's designed to look at thread and try to assess it to keep ourselves safe, right?
Like we hear some noise in the other room, and all of us go, What?
Yeah, because we want to know because our brains are in the forest somewhere, right?
Yeah, we're in like a little 150-person tribe.
And if I hear some random noise I've never heard before, that's a lion.
It's gonna eat us all.
So that's what the news is doing to us.
It's constant new fear, new chicken pox, monkeypox, fire, COVID.
We're shutting shit down again.
And it's like, if you're gonna give us that every single day, eventually there's some exhaustion attached to it, right?
And I think that's what's happening right now is people just going, I'm not gonna tune in.
I'm not listening to Fox.
I'm not watching CNN.
I don't tune into shit.
My favorite thing to do is academics.
This is the only thing I tune into.
And I just talk to Alex about hip-hop shit.
If you watch a ton of news, all I do, all I do is I go, yo, you heard what happened to Polo G and his girl?
Man, this shit is crazy, bro.
Girl had a gay best friend, started fucking him.
That was wild.
And I act like I have known all this, but I just read one headline and then throw it against Sal to see if it sticks.
I like what you do, too.
I don't know shit about hip-hop.
That's what I'm exposing.
He doesn't know nothing, bro.
I asked him to sing Lil Baby one song.
He couldn't do one lyric.
Wow, rap's fast, bro.
Misinformation Kills People00:07:36
That's what I've been saying.
That's what I'm telling you.
One bar he couldn't spit.
Nothing, huh?
Anyway, so Bill Bird, it was cool to see him just go out there, say what everybody already feels, and a person that we trust.
And yeah, just like to be honest with it.
It's like, fuck him.
Yeah, man.
It was great to hear Bill Bird do it because again, he's at a status and like, yeah, I guess a stature where it's like his words carry weight.
Yeah.
And for him to say some shit like that that resonated was just great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's dope.
We just want distraction.
At the end of the day, it's like kind of on this topic, do you want to talk about Biden saying that Facebook is killing people?
Yeah, that was interesting.
So set that up, Mark.
So basically, I don't know the full, full context, but I just know that Biden's secretary of the press came out and was saying all this stuff, like accusing Facebook and maybe trying to even sue Facebook.
A little redhead joint?
Yeah, her name's Christina Zachisakis or something.
I don't know.
I remember when she was at Bandcamp doing some wild shit.
She was at Bandcamp.
You know, when she was having band camp, bro?
That's a good reference.
She was getting wild with the flute.
Yo, Shorty was getting wild with the flute.
That's a great reference, Doug.
Yeah.
Tell me what the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was talking about.
Jen Zack.
Jen Zack.
That's what it is.
Basically, they were saying that Facebook is allowing misinformation to disseminate through their platform and it's killing people.
Was the quote.
Yeah.
And Facebook is killing people.
Yeah.
I don't know if they're responsible for killing people, but yeah, 100%.
People die as a result of misinformation.
And but then you could also say, like, is what is their net?
Like, do they have net positive?
Are more people living because of the things that they read on Facebook?
Right.
Right?
Like, are there, are there, you know, grandparents that are able to like have relationships with their kids and grandkids, and that's giving them more motivation to stay alive?
Like, might even be a direct COVID thing.
Like, there's certain people that might not have gotten the vaccine.
Then they saw a bunch of things like, oh, no, you can still die if you don't get it.
And they're like, all right, fine, I'll get it.
Or even a place where they could get the shot.
Right.
They had no clue where they go get it.
And they're like, oh, wow.
They see their friends getting in.
They're like, oh, maybe it's safe.
And it's tricky because how do you decide what's misinformation and what's not?
Yeah.
Now you're playing Big Brother for real.
If you're an information platform, that information is going to lead to happiness.
It's going to lead to depression.
Like, I don't know if you're responsible for all the feelings and outcomes that happen because of your platform.
But if you want to talk about lives lost, like, yeah, sure, motherfuckers die because of Facebook.
Like, how many people, how many, how many people's locations have been shared and then they just got murdered as the result of Instagram or Facebook?
That shit just happened.
With whom?
Oh, there was this, I think it was a crip out in LA.
And yeah, he, no, actually, it was a blood out.
Pop smoke.
Yeah, he decimated like, fuck, who was a rapper that died?
Oh, yeah.
The marathon continues.
Nipsey Hustle.
You don't know shit about rap academics.
Pal academic dogs.
He desecrated his grave and then he was on IG Live and then shot him while IG Live and he died on IG Live.
Wild boy.
Ratings through the roof.
Oh my God.
Ratings through the roof.
This guy's facts, though, right?
This guy's crazy.
But it's true.
Got to be his most watched live.
Probably.
You don't think you're going to go watch that replay?
Ironically, they call it live, but IG dead.
You think somebody had the foresight at the end when it's over says, do you want to record this and keep it live for?
Yes.
Add to the feet.
But that is crazy.
Like, a lot of people end up dying because of the platform.
Is it the platform's responsibility or fault?
I don't know.
The tricky thing, I think, when it comes to misinformation is, is that there are algorithms that react and promote certain things that are being digested.
And that's the fear thing.
Okay, so break it down.
Well, that's exactly what we're talking about with the media is that our brains are in the forest.
They're programmed to be looking at threats.
And so when you're on social media and you see like, oh, the vaccine is actually going to fucking give you cancer.
You're like, oh, goddamn it.
I got to watch it.
Yeah, I got to watch it.
I'm going to share it because I don't want my friends to get sick.
And so you're now passing around all the misinformation.
Why am I so threatened by girls with huge tits jumping?
Why is that so threatening to me?
Like, what everybody is doing?
Because that pops up on your Instagram.
That pops up on my thing because of fear.
Yeah.
I am terrified.
If there's a girl with huge tits jumping, you fear for her safety.
I fear for her.
Like, what about her back?
Is it going to hurt her?
You're the biggest feminist I know.
I think anybody who knows you know, share it with your friends so that way, you know, we can also wear it.
Exactly.
Because that kind of information needs to be shared.
You could tell other hot girls a huge tits.
Like, hey, guys, be careful.
Be mindful of how you move.
That is true because in this way, Instagram is actually saving people's lives.
Yes.
Right?
Yes.
I mean, a lot of them.
But also killing people too, probably.
At least a billion of potential people.
Maybe big chiropracti or whatever the fuck you call it is trying to tell these girls to do it.
Big chiropractor.
They're trying to tell these girls, hey, you should jump up and down.
Chiropractic building.
You got to stop science.
You know what I mean?
You got to say, hey, they're just trying to make money off the tree.
Or maybe it's playing on something in your brain.
Maybe like you have a fear of starving and you see like a volumptuous woman and you think you can suckle on her on her teeth.
Is it volumptuous or voluptuous?
It's voluptuous.
The M really threw me off.
That's stupid.
Dumb it.
Learn something.
Learn how to fucking speak.
They're going to spell it for you, motherfucker.
Honestly, all the creativity you're taking making you dumber.
Volumptuous.
That's the real volumptuous.
You mix scrumptious and voluptuous together.
It's a new word.
It's a way better word, by the way.
It's exactly.
I appreciate it.
You're like, yeah, that's volumptuous.
Yeah, that's columptuous.
Facts.
Okay.
So, takeaway.
Is Facebook killing people?
Possibly.
Probably.
Probably, yeah.
Or are people dying as a result of Facebook?
Yes.
That's a better way to put it.
But are people living as a result of Facebook and Israel?
Yes.
Are they net positive, net negative?
I don't know.
Probably net negative in terms of how they make us feel, but they might be net positive in life.
How in life?
Like, we all feel a little bit worse, but we are more connected.
Yeah.
Maybe those connections lead to, like, I don't know, less suicides or some shit.
You know what I mean?
Some dumb shit.
If you didn't lose confidence in it, I'd have stayed with it.
Just because I know you didn't hit it with.
Suicide's been up, bro.
Suicide's been booming, bro.
Business is up.
Yeah.
Bull market.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Bull market.
We're on Bitcoin rush.
Heavens.
We hope.
So, what is it?
So, do you hold him accountable?
Is Biden just being a cock when he does this shit?
It's a little cuckish, but it's also not fully wrong.
Like you said, and then as we were trying to name net positive things, we couldn't really think any.
I mean, connectivity.
My career.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your career, all of our careers.
Huge, net positive.
Yeah.
We're going to bring life into this world because of social media.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
YouTube's not Facebook.
Facebook helps too.
Helps.
It all helps.
Facebook helps, bro.
Connectivity is a net positive.
Sorry, boomers, you old ass boomers.
Sorry.
You know what I mean?
Watching my clips on Facebook.
Sorry, boomer.
Yeah.
Ice on your knees and watching some Facebook clips.
You old fucks.
Yo.
Dude, what?
What, Al?
We over a million on Facebook.
You know what I mean?
Pharmaceutical Company Secrets00:07:39
Oh, shit.
We over a million on Facebook.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
But yeah, what?
No, this is just a fascinating thing that they say that apparently 12 people are behind most COVID vaccine hoaxes on social media.
What's the hoax?
That's what I understand.
So it's just like putting out misinformation.
What misinformation exists on vaccines?
Give me one.
Give me one bit of misinformation, duh.
I don't even think misinformation exists on vaccines.
Dead ass.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Tell me one.
Let's cook.
Does a vaccine make it rain?
Does vaccine make it rain outside?
No, what?
Give me one bit of misinformation.
Go, go.
This is going to be fun.
That's all episodes getting taken down.
But I think, I mean, one thing people said that there could be a sterilization as a result of vaccine use.
Oh, so that you can't get girls pregnant.
Yeah.
On the girl side or on the dude side?
I don't know.
I don't know, bro.
It's some fucking Facebook man.
Hey, do we know that it can't be?
We don't know.
I'm just saying we don't know yet.
This shit just came out, right?
Like, you don't know until it goes for a little bit.
Right?
Like, people got to use the lotion before they find out it gives them cancer.
Isn't that the Johnson and Johnson shit?
Yeah, I just fucked up because I was using that shit too.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
That's why he was sweating so much.
I still got that shit in my book bag right now.
See?
And you should still use it.
The only guy.
I think so, yeah.
It's sunblock with it.
With the benzene in it.
It's sunblock.
It has this thing benzene in it.
And I guess it causes cancer or something like that.
Yeah.
But it's bad.
Yo, should people not wear sunscreen every day?
Son.
There's like a movement that's happening where people are like, yeah, wear misinformation.
Wear sunscreen every day.
That's misinformation.
That's misinformation.
Bro, go in the sun.
Dove wear sunscreen every day.
It's mad movements out there, but let me tell you about this, Johnson Johnson, okay?
Johnson and Johnson having a hell of a talk, Johnson Johnson.
How you got baby powder kills people?
Down bad.
That's fine.
That's foul.
Baby powder causing cancer for babies?
Son, y'all have the OG Epsteins out this bitch.
That shit is ruining children's lives.
Babies into powder.
That's all.
Oh my God.
Al really had it.
So Johnson and Johnson recalled five of their sunscreen products in the U.S. after low levels of benzene, a carcinogen found in its products.
Valasure independent laboratory raised alarm over benzene's presence.
Report released May 27, 27% of samples contain benzene, up to three times the conditionally restricted FDA concentration limit.
Products were in all.
That's kind of crazy that 9% are allowed to have benzene.
Hold on, hold on.
Al might be safe.
Products were in all aerosol cans.
Oh, okay.
Including four Neutrogena sprays, Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport, Invisible Daily Defense, and Ultra Sheer, A Vino's Protect and Refresh.
Do you have that?
What is benzene, bro?
It's a highly flammable and widely used chemical.
It's either iron.
Nope, you're good.
All right.
Damn, I was trying to get on that class action.
Oh, you gotta get it.
It's found in plastics, mumps, pesticides, and synthetic fibers, and can cause cells to stop working, result in loss of white blood cells.
Sounds like a vaccine to me.
Yo, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, a real piece of shit, Connie.
They're the worst, dog.
This is crazy.
So right now, they're exploring a plan to offload the liabilities from the baby powder litigation.
Yeah.
So they got to pay up, like $2 billion or whatever.
So they're considering this rule that allows them to separate the company and then file for bankruptcy in the separated part of the company so they don't have to pay off the people whose kids they killed.
Son, that's so foul.
Absolute fucking scumbags.
Buck Johnson and Johnson.
That's every pharmaceutical company.
That's legit every pharmaceutical company.
What do you mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All my guys, they're all in like constant lawsuits, paying up billions of dollars.
We shitting on Johnson and Johnson right now.
What about McDonald's gang?
Hey, McDonald's gang.
He's up, bro.
Man, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, he's definitely HBCU.
What?
HDCU?
Sam, what the fuck?
Yeah, pronounce the words right, you fucking idiot.
The bank?
HBCU.
Did you say HBCU?
That's what it is historically.
He said HDC University, what?
Oh, I said it right.
Fuck you, nigga.
No, I said HBC.
He said HGC.
How do you lose confidence in your own shit?
So what's the bank?
Hong Kong.
FDIC, you dumb motherfucker.
That's the SBC, you dumb motherfucker.
I thought I said that.
SBC, Hong Kong, Shanghai, banking, copper.
Yeah, fucker.
Who are using that bank?
The monkeys?
Yo, where do you get the monkey bars at the bottom?
You get good interest rates at Shanghai Bank?
Get the fuck out of here.
Oh, you're going to get some real good rates.
Shanghai.
That's what you're going to get.
You might have to, bro.
Oh, fuck that monkey pox, bro.
Yeah.
Got to be careful.
Shouts to Hasbulla, bro.
Get rid of that monkey, dog.
Oh, he does own monkey.
He does have a little monkey.
Yeah.
Hezbollah.
Yeah, I love that.
It's like midget fighter from Dagestan.
It's not even a fighter.
He's a YouTube personality.
I'm sorry for destroying the momentum of the podcast, guys.
I apologize for that.
I thought a Hasbula reference was going to really murder the room.
Turns out not that relatable.
So Johnson Johnson, just pieces of shit.
You were saying, Mark, they're all pieces of shit.
They're all pieces of shit.
Okay.
Why?
Now go.
There's massive corporations playing on people's lives, making money, trying to get their shareholders paid.
I don't trust any pharma, yo.
Sorry, boomer.
Sorry, boom.
Now, can we also look at them like we were looking at Facebook?
Do they have net positive?
Are they saving one more life than they're killing?
Here's what's foul about it, though.
Is when you, if you are a pharmaceutical company, morally, you would think if you fuck some people up, you'd be like, all right, let me just pay them.
We fucked up.
This fucked them.
Keep going.
That's my whole point.
They don't do it.
They'll find a way out of deal with fucking opioid addicts being like, oh, no, we didn't get you addicted.
But why did they get them addicted?
Because they told the doctors, they're like, yeah, prescribe them all.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's not their fault.
They live in a shitty Connecticut town.
What?
You know what I mean?
What did I just put on me?
Benzenzine.
Oh, my God.
You got the Benzos, man.
I got the Benzos, dog.
Beat my dick with the benzene, bro.
Bitches in the Waldorf.
Bumbly in the bathtub.
Bubbly in the bathtub.
Benzene in the sunblock.
Someone on Reddit made a fire.
What's it called?
Oh, yeah.
Of the bitches in the Waldorf.
Yo, y'all stepping it up, Reddit.
About fucking time, yo.
That's what I'm talking about.
All right?
Stay off the benzene.
We might need y'all.
Okay?
No, you're not getting any sunlight, you fucking nerds.
No, bullying works.
Now, Reddit comfort is right now.
You got to bully.
They fucking work once you bully them, bro.
You know what I mean?
You got to bully them.
They was cracking out some high-quality content when we was bullying them.
Don't call them nerds.
Say what?
Don't call them nerds.
What do you want me to call them?
We be on it.
Yeah.
We're nerds, Al.
All right.
Sorry.
Z Gen. Z Gen?
Is that also in the sunscreen?
Sorry, Z Jen.
He's already done.
Yo, give me that waifu, dog.
Oh, shit.
Yo, this girl is stacked from the front to the back.
Bullying Nerds To Work00:09:31
Are you watching some hentai or what?
Bro, I'm about to.
What's this girl's name?
Holy shit, boomer.
Dude, real talk.
This girl is crazy, bro.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
But you just found out about Hentai, right?
What do you think?
You just found out about Hentai?
What do you think they should have more of a slit in between her waifu?
Y'all are crazy.
I can't give this shit to kids.
Okay.
What else we got going on, boys?
All right.
So India is imposing a two-child policy in certain states, specifically Uttar Pradesh.
Whoa.
Right after Akash got married.
You think that's strategic?
Whoa.
Be honest.
You think that they're trying to get you?
Uttar Pradesh is where Akash's family is from.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, they want two kids max.
Yeah.
What you think about that?
I think it's great.
How many siblings do you have?
One.
I got one sibling.
Oh, yeah.
It's a two-kid family.
This is great.
Yo.
Hey, India got too many people, man.
We got too many.
Keep it at two.
Then viruses will kill mad others and we'll be fine.
Wow.
And they're offering money for forced sterilization.
Not forced, I guess, because they're giving them money.
But for voluntary sterilizations.
That's great, dog.
This is brilliant.
I love this so much.
I'm so happy about this.
I mean, you guys could flip it on me, I'm sure, but I'm enjoying it right now.
Why are you happy about it?
I'm Kiri.
Because there's too many people.
There's 1.4 billion people in a country that's like a fifth the size of America.
So five times the population, one-fifth the land.
It's fucking crazy.
You know who's having.
It's too many people.
The easiest way to control population is to just give women rights, and none of these countries are willing to do it.
Right?
Like, the easiest way, you just give women rights, you get them to have careers, you get them to work, and all of a sudden they like doing that shit.
They don't have any kids.
Norway, Sweden, America, all declining populations because women can do whatever the fuck they want.
But you go to like China and India and you just offer up the idea.
Hey, you want to let them focus on themselves?
What?
What?
You're doing a lot.
You're killing it back in the kitchen.
I'd rather everyone starve.
You're all doing a lot of people starving.
Everybody, calm down.
We got a good thing going.
Government incentives.
China, I'm just saying.
China had to do a one-kid policy instead of just letting Chinese women work, bro.
Yeah.
Think about that shit.
Hey, hey, you got to do what you got to do.
And they literally would just look at people like, listen, we don't make them wrap their feet anymore.
What the fuck else do you want?
Half measures.
You know what I mean?
But it is the number one way to stop population.
If you want to eradicate human beings from this planet, you know, all these people are like, oh my God, we need to recycle so we can bring the earth back to its homeostasis, whatever.
No, just let women work.
Yeah, but who's more wasteful?
Say what?
Than an empowered woman.
100%.
They're going to waste.
They're going to have all their products and all that other kind of shit.
Then within two generations, there'll be no humans left.
So that's all you need to do.
More you have women working careers, no more human beings.
The dolphins will come back to the canals in Venice or whatever you want to happen in Italy.
It's funny how insufferable children get when you let women hang out with their peers.
Now all of a sudden they're like, yo, kids are annoying.
What do you mean?
When you keep them at home, you don't let them talk to anybody else.
They're like, yeah, let's have kids.
I love kids.
When they get to work and hang out with peers, they're like, yo, kids, huh?
Who's into that?
Who wants that?
Every fucking country where they let them work and hang out with friends, they look at kids like, this is annoying.
What fucking needs to do?
He has to take care of the kids now.
And not even, they're just realizing how annoying kids are because they'll get to hang out with peers at work.
They're like, oh, these guys are cool.
These kids suck.
Oh, oh, women are realizing that.
Oh, my God.
I wasn't understanding what you were saying.
Yeah, women, once they get to hang out and like have something they're passionate about outside of their child.
Yeah, and have co-workers that are their age that they can relate to.
Now, I just want to say this is the end of humanity.
I don't support this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want humanity to continue going.
And in order for us to do that, we have to pretend like we want women to have careers, but really keep them in the goddamn.
I don't believe at all.
I don't believe that.
You don't believe that.
You know, my girl's getting her master's degree.
Your girl's going out to get her master's.
We want women to go out there and do everything that they can do.
Yes.
So that they can realize that their place is at home.
Yeah.
Yo, explore it all, come back home.
It's like when it's like when the Amish people let their kids go on rum springer or whatever.
What?
Rumspringer?
Yeah, Rumspringer.
Yeah, yeah.
I knew something like that, you know, goofy ass Amish.
You ain't going to hear this.
Okay, but go on.
But same thing.
You let them explore and then they just come back.
That's so fucking true, dude.
You have to let women rum springer.
Yeah.
Like, what's wrong with that?
No, let them explore.
What does a female rum springer look like?
They just go.
They go to work.
They go to school.
They do whatever they want.
They toil away at these corporate jobs and they realize how miserable it is.
And then they could have children and, you know, do that and toil away at that.
Be appreciated for once, you know?
Have a job where you're appreciated.
That is actually true.
Like, if you're a woman, you're raising the kids, you run the crib, right?
Bro, you are Mother's Day is the great, like, the most important day of the year.
100%.
Everything.
Mom is.
Billboard had the joke about that.
Mom is the hardest job in the world.
Nobody says that about fucking whatever other job you got.
That's a good ass point.
Also, I do think it's beneath to work after they have children.
Beneath them.
I think it's beneath a woman.
After you push out a kid, to go back to a job is beneath you.
You shouldn't have to.
Yeah.
I mean, some people need to to work.
It's okay.
But like, after you've made a human being, you can't go like to like copying shit for your boss.
Like, getting coffees and stuff like that.
Like, you made a human being.
Like, what you accomplish is far greater than what your boss is telling you to do.
It's, it's stupid.
Now, some people have to do it because they have to pay the bills.
If you don't have to, come on, what is this?
I got to work a job at human resources.
I am human resources.
I just, my resources create humans.
Fuck you.
That's what I do.
Yeah.
That's some boss ass shit.
Like, lady, what you want to fucking work?
Chipotle?
You want to work at Chipotle?
Like, somebody asking you, can I have extra steak on my bowl?
You're like, I just made a human being two weeks ago.
Why am I listening to this fat fuck tell me what he wants on his fucking burrito bowl?
It's disgusting.
Good point.
Women shouldn't have to work.
Good point.
How much maternity leave, you think?
For women?
Yeah.
Rest of your life.
Yeah, eternity.
Eternity?
No, 18 years.
18 years.
And then you can go back and work in some form of charity.
Like, live in like a convent?
Yeah.
Convent or something like that, Ronald McDonald.
You can work at Ron and Nick Doner.
What a goofy charity, right?
Like, they probably do a lot of good work, but if you got your life saved by fucking Ronald McDonald, Ronald, a clown, a clown pulls up.
You have 30 more days on this planet and a clown pulls up.
I'm going to save you.
Come on, um, no, but there is something to that.
I don't know.
Are we being wildly sexist?
Lady assholes, tell us.
I feel like we're being very progressive.
Yeah.
We're the most progressive people.
18 years of maternity leave.
That's pretty good.
No, 18 years maternity leave.
I think if women have children, they should.
In an ideal world, I think most guys feel this way.
If we're being serious, no jokey.
I think most guys probably feel this way.
If you had the resources to allow your wife to choose whether she wanted to work or raise the kids or do both, you would do that.
Yeah.
Right?
So you'd say, babe, if you want to take care of the family and do that, I will hold this shit down.
I think most guys would say that.
Would you agree?
Yeah.
If they're...
If they want to.
Only if they're so passionate about their career and they really want to do that, then that's awesome too.
I mean, like, there are tons of women that are fucking gold medalists and shit, right?
Like, there are women that are doing these things that they really care about.
They have a graphic design business that they fucking started from the ground up.
What I'm talking about is like the fact that some women feel like they should work in order to feel like justified as a human being.
Yeah.
You made a human being.
Yeah.
That's justification enough.
It's crazy that there are some feminists that make being a housewife seem so beneath when it's like the most empowered thing you could possibly do.
But wouldn't you do that?
The most beautiful thing about a woman is you can create other humans.
So if you can create and love other humans and do that, you're not beneath anybody.
Whether you choose to do it or not, that's fine.
But it's not, you're not less of a woman if you take care of your family.
But it's always some fat troll with a mustache that's saying it, right?
It's never like a girl who has the option to have a family.
Correct.
It's always a girl who would never have that option.
And then she's like, oh, yeah, look at those girls.
Why are they doing that?
Yeah, because humanity decided you're not worth procreating with.
That's why they get to.
When we hate on Instagram models.
Yeah.
Like, oh, yeah, look at her.
Feet are all fucked up.
It's like, you don't even care if she had no feet down on fucking toothpicks.
It wouldn't matter, right?
Put your nub in my mouth immediately.
Why are people waiting?
I'll put honey on it.
I don't care.
That's party.
Yo, if you had the option to be a house husband, would you?
No.
Why?
No chance.
Not built for it.
I think women have the choice to choose.
They should be allowed to choose what they want to do, but not in my house.
Men's choices.
Yeah.
Men's houses, man.
It's very traditional.
Women should be able to choose.
Women?
We have fairly traditional relationships, all right?
Men have a choice too.
You can get a job or be a stay-at-home.
That's you.
And they should be allowed to choose that.
House Husband Life00:03:03
These are your choices.
Yes.
But no, we can't do that stay-at-home shit.
Fuck out of here with all that.
That's crazy.
If some men want to, that's fine.
Nah, and she's embarrassing.
Some men want to.
Nah, nah, nah.
Nah, that she does an embarrassing thing.
Get a job.
There's a stay-at-home dad listening to this right now.
And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, you are a cock.
You are a cock.
Get out there.
Go to work.
Okay?
Jesus.
What if he's a patron?
Say what?
What if he's a patron?
His wife's paycheck?
Fucking cock me.
Your wife is a thank you.
Thank your wife.
Some patronage.
Your wife.
Okay.
Flagrant too.
All right.
You got that guy.
Let's go.
Run it up.
Run it up.
Put a little graphic down there, Miles.
Don't talk.
Yeah.
We don't even put your name as a captain no more.
Your wife can ask you a question.
Yeah.
Captain Nett.
Captain Net.
You putting somebody else's credit card name on the fucking get out of here, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
That being said, whenever I call people, my mom's name comes up.
I'm saying, you entering somebody else's name for credit card info?
Get the fuck out of here, bro.
That's embarrassing.
You got to work, man.
You got to work.
I'm sorry.
You got to work.
I don't even care if your wife is like a soldier or whatever.
She's at war in Afghanistan.
Like, get a babysitter.
Yo, have your parents come home.
All right, guys, we're gonna take a break for a second because sometimes it rains on your birthday.
Sometimes the line for coffee wraps around the building.
Sometimes gas goes up 10 cents.
Sometimes life stinks.
The good news, you don't have to because native has your back.
That's right.
Native cares about the products you put on your body.
They're about stopping the stink the right way.
That's the native difference.
You probably already know about Native's legendary aluminum-free deodorant.
But have you tried their body wash, toothpaste, or their brand new mineral-based sunscreen?
Yes, Native now has a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen for your face and body.
It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and you can choose between unscented or coconut and pineapple.

Now, let's get back to the figure it out.
That's crazy.
You're acting a little crazy.
You got me a little, I feel triggered right now, even just thinking about that.
You also grew up in a house where your mom ran a business.
Dad worked two.
Dad can work two.
Ballet And Personal Care00:06:21
T-O-O.
Oh, wait, wait.
Did you just call his dad a cock?
Whoa.
He was talking about Lairbear.
That was fighting words, yo.
So he just, yo, should you just go?
Be honest.
He might have just said fuck him up.
Dad, also, the accomplished reporter interviewed Ali, did a lot of great things for him.
Backtracking right now.
My dad ran a business during the day.
My mom ran it during the night.
All right.
They didn't even see each other for more than one hour a day.
Okay.
That's how you have a successful marriage.
And the second that my mom retired, my dad's memory just went away.
So this is perfect timing.
Okay?
It's absolutely perfect.
This is how you stay married for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
All right.
Just don't spend no time together and then have your memory cut out the second.
You're going to have to.
Just taste shifts.
Real talk.
But that's it.
Yeah.
No, my dad was working.
Okay.
Yeah.
He was working for my mom, but it was a family secret.
Yo.
I met you at the ballet studio too.
Andrew used to work for his mom too back in the day.
I used to work for my mom.
Well, you can work for your mom if you're a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You used to work for your mom.
Yeah.
In the beauty salon.
He's 49%.
No, in a moment, women's clothes.
Tanning salon.
Wow, women's clothing.
Dude, that is fucking gay.
Working in a tanning salon, dude.
Are you kidding me, Doug?
I'm a tanner, Miraga.
Andrew's angry right now.
Andrews.
You literally ran a ballet right now, dog.
Right now, I'm in a salon.
Andrew, we can go to ballet studio.
Ain't no ballet salary.
Ain't no ballet.
It's part of dancing.
No, ballet.
I got it y'all done.
Put some perspective camera.
I'll fuck all y'all up.
All right.
My parents had a pussy pound in partner dance studio they had.
All right.
Mad people meeting women, marrying them, dancing it up, salsa dick rock.
Uh-huh.
You know what I mean?
I used to take classes there.
Dick Rock.
Yo, put some salsa dick rock.
Fuck that ballet belt.
I didn't do that.
Ballet.
Ain't no ballet over here.
Yo, there was a couple studios that were rented out for ballet classes, but I had no affiliation with what we did.
It was pussy powder, partners dancing.
Were you getting some action or what?
Action, tango, all that.
Dick Rock.
I used to dance.
You know what I'm saying?
I was Dick Rock dancing with these girls, bro.
I would go to the class, saw some.
Jamil and I would pull up to that shit.
Yeah.
Dancing.
They would crossbody lead.
Salsa.
That's funny.
Cha-cha.
It didn't matter.
I remember they filmed the other guys, that movie of Mark Wahlberg at his dance studio.
And I know it's ballet because I remember him doing ballet in the movie.
They had the poles along the wall.
Did they have a pole along the wall?
He's got receipts, bro.
I remember because I see pictures of his mom in the back.
I'm like, oh, that's Andrew's studio.
I love those bitches.
And then Mark Walmart people do.
He's busting out the ballet.
See how people do you, yo?
See how people do you, Reddit?
You fucking dorks.
I just got to find someone else there.
I just got to get it off me.
Reddit, you're going to have to take this one now.
Yeah.
I'm taking too much punishment.
I got a hot potato this shit.
Okay, Reddit.
You see Jens?
Take that.
Nah, nah.
It was capable to do ballet there.
You can do it, but he taught.
We weren't teaching on ballet.
We were teaching partner dancing, bro.
Get married.
We say partner.
What was the case?
We say partner because are you saying partner because a lot of times it was like this?
It's actually a good job.
That was good.
He stepped out of new way.
Look at that.
Look at that.
That's all, folks.
Hey, thanks, though.
Oh, you did kind of fuck it up a little.
That's dub, bro.
Don't make him do that.
Yeah, come on.
Don't make him do that.
That's how they've been treating Christians, too.
They're like, no, no, run it back.
Jesus, come back.
All right, no, but for real, though, y'all talking shit about my father, God stopped.
Come here and fuck all y'all up with three different conversation points.
Bangers, though.
Bangers, though.
Dude, he was not playing.
My boy, my boy.
My boy.
My dad met my mother-in-law.
I'm going to Fire Island.
Respect.
Respect.
But Gay Island, actually, now that I said that.
That is true.
It is true.
So my boy, my father met my future mother-in-law this weekend.
Oh, shit.
Right?
And kicking mad game with a capital G, right in front of my mom.
Right?
Because my girl was there and her mom.
And then my mom and my dad.
And my dad was like doing the classic old school dad lines.
Like, are you guys sisters?
And then with the are you sisters, bro?
Like, are you guys sisters?
And then, you know, how old are you?
She said, like, 58 or something like that.
And he goes, wow, the women of your generation just don't age.
My mom's standing right next to him.
Completely different than my generation.
But your generation just stays the same, unlike mine.
Wilts away because Wilt's away.
What's the difference?
Unbelievable.
This savage, right?
Oh, my God.
So, wait, what happened?
He closed or it did some fucking ballet.
I don't know.
What else you want from me, guys?
What else do you want?
What type of conclusion would you like?
Oh, this makes sense.
What?
Because your girl used to do ballet, so now y'all can dance together.
So, shit.
Nutcrack at the wedding.
I'm getting killed, man.
Reddit getting killed.
Reddit, I'm getting killed.
Now is your opportunity, Reddit.
I've been talking all this shit, saying what nerds y'all are.
They got me the spin cycle with the fucking nutcracker.
Now's the time to make the content that I know that you can make.
Yeah.
You are the nutcracker, bro.
You have no nuts, dog.
I'll be sitting on my nuts.
Ooh, the way I position myself sitting down is called Nutcracker.
Nutcracker.
Nutcracker.
Holy shit there.
Holy shit there.
Bro, is that a symptom of monkeypox, bro?
What?
Wuhan Virus Origins00:03:35
Dude, does accent change as well when you get it?
Dude, what if the first symptom of COVID was you had a Wuhan accent?
A Wuhan specifically.
Not Asian or anything like that, but immediately you're just like, you're just like, oh, Chu.
That's a Wuhan accent.
It's Wuhan, dog.
It's specifically from the Wuhan region of China, Doug.
Where the virus fucking started.
Yeah.
Where it was created, bro.
Where it was created in a lap.
Who knows?
Yeah, by who knows.
Maybe a bat, maybe a human being whose job it was to create it.
Stop taking your work home with you.
What?
Are you worried that we're spreading misinformation and people are dying as a result?
No.
Nah, just demonification.
You think?
Demonification.
Like, come on.
Like, how are you?
It's close enough.
Volumptuous.
I can't even fathom that you ever come at me from volumptuous.
Yeah, but I do that.
This is me.
This is me.
I know, son.
Your thick thighs.
Yo, Scott.
Sorry, boom.
Dick just hit that off the button.
Oh, shit.
He pointed down his thigh.
He's like, mark coming through the thickness, bro.
Okay.
Let's talk.
Can we have a real conversation?
Yeah, let's be serious.
Let's start.
Let's start.
Okay, let's start the podcast, dude, because you guys are fucking liberal cucks.
Let's start.
Dude, okay, what else is happening?
Popeyes beefing up security and inventory for the release of their new chicken nuggets.
This shit is like Jordans are dropping.
Son, do you feel disrespected by this?
I'll be honest.
Why?
It's a little bit racialist.
It's a little racist.
Why?
It was all white people running around.
Like, y'all were surrounding that motherfucker when we were in Chicago, all white people.
Asian provocator.
When we were in Chicago, it was all white people.
Asian provocator.
Caucasian provocateur.
Yeah.
Caucasian provocator, dude.
That's what that was.
Those were FDI agents.
Paid for by.
Was there violence at that one?
Almost.
Huh?
Almost.
What happened?
You almost fought somebody for a chicken sandwich?
Nah, not me.
They actually ran out of the chicken sandwich and people were tight.
Ooh.
Do you think that that is enough reparations if we just let you guys get the chicken first?
You guys can cut the line at Popeyes when the chicken nuggets drop.
Can we just forget about this whole slavery thing?
I'm being serious.
Can we just forget about it?
Can we just call it even?
Nah, I already told you.
What's that?
We don't pay taxes.
Boom.
Even.
Forever?
Forever.
How about, I mean, no federal tax.
Forever?
Forever.
It wasn't slavery forever.
Yeah, that's true.
There wasn't slavery forever.
All right, however long it was.
I think 25 years.
20 years.
Six years?
Well, that was the bad part.
It was like, yeah, 10 years of bad.
Yeah, bad.
Nah, but we'd be rounding up saying like 400 years.
400 years.
That sounds about.
Oh, shit.
But you don't pay taxes as long as the state that you live in had slavery.
Oh.
Okay.
So a lot of black people are going to start moving to the south.
We already started.
You're going to move to the most racist places.
And then it's going to be a lot of people.
How about you will not pay taxes?
And then it's going to be all black.
And then it's going to be Atlanta.
And that's how you fix it.
But then all the racist people are going to move to where there's no black people.
Don't they do that already?
But they're going to move north.
So now we have a complete flip in ideology.
And everything segregates.
Oh, my God, dude.
So the southern states, we got all the great weather.
We got all the fucking vibe.
The north is just shit.
Moving To Racist Places00:08:44
But you had to leave New York, Doug.
You're going to sell out New York.
Yeah.
Dude, sell out New York.
You'd move.
You don't even love it.
Take off your hat, dog.
You're not a New Yorker.
You fucking sell out.
ATL, baby.
ATL.
What I'm saying.
He would like ATL.
Dare you don't know nothing, bro.
ATL up, P-Town Dwight.
Hey, he's up.
Hey, Town down.
Come on, dog.
I'm not from Atlanta.
Why would I know that?
Gay shit.
Yeah, where all the like, I don't know where.
Asking to fly to Vegas to see Usher at the end.
Wow.
I was a little sad that we can't go to this concert, too.
What concerts do you want to go?
Usher has a residency in Vegas.
Okay.
That's lit.
And what's the issue?
We're working.
We're touring.
But we also are going to Vegas.
But he stops in August and restarts in December.
Unless Usher, you'd like to make an appearance on October 2nd for us.
Oh.
Done.
We can have Andrew dance into the video.
Alex be watching because he got no rhythm.
That is a protein.
I was killing girls because he could dance.
Barely danced that no way.
Hill too.
You ain't seen it.
Oh, you didn't see him line dancing at the country bar.
Oh, shit.
Indian.
Everything, son.
Your boy is nice with it.
Yeah.
I just don't do ballet like something, but that's all right.
You can't do ballet.
You need legs.
I know.
I can't.
I can't.
You're right.
Definitely.
I'm sorry.
I'm a man.
Try to plie a snap his knees.
Dude, immediately.
I'm a man.
I'm a little bit.
I'm a kick in balls above my legs.
Can you do a squat?
Can you do a squat?
An air squat?
Can you do a squat?
Can you do a bodyweight squat?
Can you squat your own body?
I can do it.
I don't think that you can squat your own body.
I squatted more than you when we were in LA.
What are you talking about?
There's no way.
What are you talking about?
I squat three feet.
No, you don't.
I squat three feet.
No, you don't.
I squat three plates each side.
Yo, you can take Akash on your shoulders right now.
You can't squat him.
I can squat him.
Right now.
You can't squat you.
Let's go.
Right now.
Hunt it out.
Hunt it out.
I'm not getting on your shoulders.
I don't know.
Hey, that.
$100?
And all I got to do is squat Akash on my shoulders.
Oh, you got to do.
How low do I have to go?
Because I have limited mobility with my ankles.
Like, I can't go too deep.
I can't go ass to the grass, is what I'm trying to say.
I've never done that.
That's a real squat.
I can't physically do that.
So then you can't squat.
No, I can't squat.
So you can't squat.
Can you squat?
Bodyweight squat right now.
Bodyweight squat.
Do you want a bodyweight squat?
How are you doing?
You can't do a bodyweight squat.
How much?
I'm going to do a squat with Akash.
Is it front squat?
Do I keep him in front of my face like this?
Or do I do a back squat?
Take face to your face.
I can front squat him.
I can front squat him.
Let's go right now.
Let's go.
Right now.
But you have to do a squat as well.
All right.
You go first.
Squat with Duff.
Oh, no.
Come on and duff.
Come on.
I'd rather take Shifty.
Fireman's carry.
Fireman's carry Duff over both shoulders like that, like a towel.
After the gym, you have to do a squat with him, and I will squat front squat Akash and back squat Akash.
Yeah, but I'll take Shifty, though.
Say what?
I'll take Shift.
You have to do Duff.
Why are you scared, son?
Why are you scared?
I thought you could do more than me.
I'm trying not to call Duff fat, all right?
Come on, try to kill Dove.
Nah, Shifty is lighter than you, though.
Shifty's lighter than him, but he's also been here for only 18 years.
I called out Akash because he's a midget.
Whoa, dude.
That's offensive.
I helped you out.
That's so offensive.
That's offensive.
Why are you trying to hurt his feelings, bro?
Yeah, I'm right here, dog.
I could have said bark and a piece of cake.
And the midgets also, bro.
Why are you trying to save a midget all the time?
Yeah.
That's offensive terminology.
I'm sorry.
They are a little tough.
Yeah, come on.
Hey, Town up, P-Town down, bro.
Fucking, this guy is.
It's a real piece of shit.
I'm going to squat Akash right now, bitch.
Go, man.
All right, go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
All right.
All right.
Be very careful.
Okay, so here we go.
So Akash is now standing on the table.
Thanks, Mark.
And Andrew is holding him.
And now.
You have to go over.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What the hell?
Javi, you want to do it?
Oh, my God.
Okay, so now he's standing.
He's standing.
Oh, this table's going down.
Here we go.
Oh, shit.
Hey, let's go.
I wasn't.
I mean, it wasn't 90-degree angle.
It wasn't 90-degree angle.
Yo, shifty!
Shifty!
No, no, no, let's go.
Get dubbed, shift!
You said you were stronger.
Get dubbed.
No, no, no, no.
Get followed.
That was twice him.
Get dubbed.
Dude, follow.
Get dubbed.
All right, fine.
Front squat.
That's too much.
No, no, no, no.
Why are we squatting twice?
Is the closest woman we have over here?
Last week I kissed him.
Now you.
Now he's trying to front squat.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Now he's hitting the front squat.
Hit the front squat.
That's disgusting.
All right.
So now Al owes you $100.
I need $100 from you.
I need $100 from you.
And I need you to do a real talk.
I'm impressed.
Come on, son.
I don't play games.
$350.
Squat $350.
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go, Doug.
If I squat him, we even.
Listen.
No, no, you still owe me $100.
You got to do Front Squat too.
Are we doing the fireman corner?
No, This is good.
This is good.
Listen.
Listen.
All right, listen.
I'll make sure he won't like it.
I'll make sure he won't like it.
He's a Jew.
Okay.
I don't get shit chicken.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Aster Grass.
You couldn't do it.
You couldn't do it.
I need my 100.
I need my 100.
Hey, everybody saw it holding.
Nah, bro.
Nah, bro.
It's over, bro.
It's over, dog.
Hold on, son.
I know you can.
Oh, no.
Dev said you can chat.
Oh, shit.
Dove said he's squat you.
Hey, get on his back, little bitch.
I know you gotta worry about some legs, bro.
Come on, bro.
You do, bro.
Dog, that is embarrassing.
You can squat Al?
Easy, son.
Nah, don't bark, Mark.
Let's let Mark give up.
That is true.
Mark just been commenting.
I had a knee injury, bro.
Nah, nah.
Nah, he's going to squat you.
Don't worry about you.
What's the challenge?
Oh, I'm not in this.
Yeah, that's a good point, actually.
Yeah, we don't need to let the white man divide us.
Hey, Al, so I need my 100 from you.
I got you.
I got you.
Come on.
Do you want me to venue more here?
I wanted cash.
What did you say, bro?
You just said Venomo.
I said Venmo.
Nah, you like that.
No, you came at me with me.
I was laughing.
You came at me with a bad movie.
I am volumptuous.
You got to say every word precisely.
Precisely.
Say all that shit precisely, dog.
P-E-R.
Spice voice.
Sell it too.
And I want to know where the origins are from.
Okay, can we get back to this?
Al, you're looking on your phone.
Let's be serious.
Let's be serious.
What you got on your phone?
Legs and Venmo.
Oh, no, no.
We're not doing that.
Dude, cash.
I need cash from you.
Ones.
I need.
No, no, I need a $100 bill.
Cash.
Let's talk about Angelina Jolie having a stolen baby.
Oh, sorry about that.
You were talking about this.
I need to hear you guys this.
So the woman that she got her baby, Maddox, the Filipino or whatever kid.
Cambodian thing.
Cambodian.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Steve Hussain.
Thank you for clarifying.
I really appreciate that.
Maybe there's a big.
The story would not be accurate.
Maybe there's a lot of Cambodians listening.
Yeah, yeah.
There might be a big Cambodian fan.
They get a whole CNN over here.
Yeah, independent factjuggers verify that that was misinformation.
So that misinformation has to be corrected.
So we got this Cambodian kid, this woman by the name of Galinda or something like that.
I have the exact notes here.
Basically, this woman gets arrested and she's jailed in 2004 for falsifying documents to obtain U.S. visas for orphans.
Ooh.
Scandals first exposed.
Jolie said she knew nothing about the illegal trade.
Do we have to call Angelina Jolie the Womb Raider?
Is that the whole reason we did the whole thing?
The whole reason.
The only reason I brought this stupid fucking story.
I applaud it for Womb Raider.
I applaud it.
I'm pretty good.
I got it good.
Now, full disclosure.
Refinancing Student Debt00:03:12
Yeah.
Just because I know he's seething right now.
Yeah.
That was that face joke.
But I wanted to get the credit so that he could just sit there in his fucking stupid house in England.
You guys imagine him living in the Shire, too?
Yeah, 100%.
Like, that's where he lives, right?
Yeah.
There's just a whole grass covering this whole place.
Yeah, he's haggard.
Yeah, he's our haggard.
That's Flagrant Two's Haggard.
Hey, Ian Mubarak, you fucking bombing.
No wonder he had to say his joke.
Go back to Womb Raider.
Oh, come on.
Speaking of bombs.
But not Ian Mubarak, you Mozies that are listening?
Yeah, shout out.
It's their shit.
But if you're the kid that got adopted and stolen from your rightful parents, are you very grateful you got adopted by Angelina Jolie?
That's not bad.
That's not bad, bro.
Doesn't he hate Brad Pitt, though, right now?
He does?
Why?
Because she did that.
She divided.
Oh, there's been like, yeah, there's still a custody battle going on.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He doesn't have, he's admitted he doesn't have a big relationship with him.
Oh, shit.
I didn't know that.

Trump Pushing Vaccines00:09:39
Now let's get back to the show.
Okay, what else we got, man?
What else we got?
All right, LA's going back under mask mandate.
Yeah.
Are we heading for another lockdown across the nation?
Let's have that conversation.
What do you guys think?
I don't think.
No, we should not.
Not across the nation.
We know that for a fact.
There are certain states that aren't going to do it.
Yeah, Florida's not touching it.
Texas is not touching it.
In Florida's rate right now, I think it was Dade County, is COVID rate is 8.5%.
It's 3.5% in LA, and now they're doing the mask.
Fuck.
But let's admit it.
The Delta variant that people are like, it's real.
It's real.
You guys.
We agree.
It's you guys.
Delta variant is you guys.
I told y'all.
I told y'all.
We're going to call it a Greek litter.
Like, we don't fucking know.
We know.
I told y'all.
We know.
As soon as some shit developed there, I was like, this is coming.
It's going to fuck all y'all up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Delta.
Warrior.
Delta.
So here's the thing.
Oh, it's going to be a markup.
We're all shutting it down, though.
But here's the thing that's interesting about it for sure.
Everything's getting shut down.
Well, at least in LA.
And to be honest, this was the reason why we had to switch the special taping.
It was literally something like this, right?
Like, we were originally going to tape the special in LA.
We still are doing the shows.
The shows are still on in LA.
Can't wait for those shows at Orpheum.
Amazing.
Very excited.
But our concern was they might put in new restrictions.
They might not even let us perform.
Just because they were opening it up in the summer doesn't mean in the fall it would still be open.
So that's why we push it to Austin.
But the thing that's really interesting about this lockdown is the spike is all in unvaccinated people.
Yep.
And everybody that's unvaccinated right now is doing that by their own choice.
If you die of COVID because you don't want to get vaccinated, you have the right to do that.
That's totally fine.
But we're not shutting everything down because these motherfuckers.
Nope.
Sorry.
I'm not believing that.
They don't want to get vaccinated.
It don't matter how many juvenile songs you play.
It don't matter if Olivia Rodrigo is telling you to get vaccinated.
It doesn't matter who the fuck tells you to get vaccinated.
Lottery, they're doing the lottery.
The lottery?
Yeah.
What is that?
In Ohio, they're like, if you get vaccinated, you're entered into a lottery for a million dollars.
Oh, wow.
They're doing everything in there.
They're like, we'll give a person million.
Let them die.
All right.
I 100% agree.
I 100%.
Now, here's the wrench.
They're saying that it's people that are vaccinated getting it.
No, no, no.
The mortality rate is 99.5% amongst the unvaccinated.
You get it and you don't die.
All right.
Keep it moving.
That happens with the flu to millions of people every year.
People are getting the Delta variant.
Chris Paul got the variant, even though he was vaccinated, allegedly vaccinated.
You can still get it, even though you're vaccinated, but it looks like the vaccines have been able to handle it.
Yes.
At least Moderna and Pfizer.
Since when have we shut shit down for something that makes you sick and you recover from it?
That's not something we need.
People want to take the risk.
These people are saying, I would like, you have the right.
This is America.
There's some freedom here.
You have the right to take the risk of your own life if you choose.
People are allowed to go skydiving.
People are allowed to go scuba diving.
People are allowed to go fast in cars on a fucking racetrack.
They're allowed to own guns.
They're allowed to surf.
They're allowed to surf big waves.
Surfing big waves is legal.
I guarantee you the amount of people that die surfing big waves is way higher than the amount of people that die from COVID who are unvaccinated.
Yeah.
Percentage-wise.
Yeah.
Guarantee.
I guarantee the amount of people that just work at a fucking gas station at night.
Like the percentage of people that get killed doing that job is way higher.
It's still a job.
Yeah.
People choose to do it.
Am I off?
Nope.
No, you have the choice.
And this is what I envy in like an Amsterdam type government.
Typically, I remember I got a tour there and they're like, we let people choose.
If you want to be an idiot and die, we don't put laws in place to keep you alive.
That's fine.
Go.
Like, you don't have to wear a helmet when riding your bike or whatever.
Like, if you die, you die.
That's it.
Same with COVID.
If you don't want to get the vaccine and you die, that's kind of funny in the same way that if you would think if I have a kid with three arms, he'd probably just Indian.
But, you know, I mean, if it could be the vaccine, that's funny to y'all.
We make our choices.
If you die, you die.
I'm not shutting shit down because you don't want to get the vaccine.
If you die, that's on you.
100%.
You haven't been vaccinated, Mark.
Right.
Neither of you, Al.
How do you guys feel about this?
I don't think you guys plan on getting vaccinated.
Yeah.
If you die and you didn't get vaccinated, you're dead.
Like, that's on you.
But do you choose?
Responsible for another shutdown if we do get shut down.
No, I don't think they should.
I think they should get vaccinated, whatever.
But if you get shut, if we get shut down, that's the government trying to protect people who don't care to be protected.
No, it's the government protect themselves, right?
Because if you're governor and X amount of people die under your watch, then the person that you're running against is going to go, see, while he was governor, he fucked up COVID and this many people died.
So they're trying to limit the deaths during their term, right?
Knowing that and knowing how governments operate, do you feel if there was another lockdown, would you feel partially responsible?
Because you know how governments operate, regardless how if it's right or wrong, you know that that is the way they do it.
Yeah, but like if a like scrupulous and like some would say a corrupt government is like gonna impose a sanction like that and then blame a specific group of people, I don't think that's necessarily on the group of people.
That's the government's decision to do that.
Right.
But knowing that the government will do that and knowing that you're gonna have to deal with the repercussions of that decision, meaning you might not be able to tour or you may not be able to do stand-up or you might not be able to just go out to dinner or the things you want to do.
Is it still worth it for you to not get vaccinated?
I'm asking that as like a joke.
No, I mean, if eventually if the obligation is I have to get it in order to like do the job and like live, then like I'll get it.
I'm not necessarily against getting it.
I just don't think it's necessary for me because I've already had COVID.
Right.
Twice.
A lot.
Yeah.
I know the double shot.
Yeah.
I got my second shot.
You got the double shot of the real thing.
And like, it seems like data's saying that if you've been, if you have natural immunity from getting COVID and have antibodies, like so far, a year later, like they say it's still resistant.
Right.
And even to the Delta variant.
So I'm like, I don't see that it's necessary to take it, considering that there are some implicit risks with the vaccine.
I'm like, yeah, it's just, I don't see the need for me.
What do we know for a fact is the risk?
We don't know anything.
There's like small rates of like heart inflammation and things like that where I'm like, it's just not.
But we don't know.
We can't even attribute those to only the vaccine, right?
There's just not enough data.
No, I think they did.
That's why they like put out the CDC, put out the warning that like there's certain cases, but they still.
It was Johnson and Johnson, right?
Johnson Johnson and also the Moderna one.
But that's where they were like, but still encouraging people to get it because those cases are so small and so few.
There's like seven out of like but it's still maybe right.
It's not guaranteed correlated to that.
Yeah, seven out of 10 million is also like ibuprofen fucks people up.
Yeah, there could be heart inflammation if you have if you're gonna not believe in medicine, I'm kind of like, don't take fucking heart pressure medicine.
Don't take none of that shit because they seem to have way more side effects than this vaccine.
Yeah.
So just don't believe in medicine.
Don't selectively believe in it.
No, my thing is like if I don't like to take ibuprofen unless I really need to.
Here's a question.
That's fair.
Here's a question I have for you guys.
If there was a Republican president, if Trump was president.
Who is vaccinated, by the way?
Right.
Yeah, they all are.
DeSantis is too.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
If Trump was president, do Democrats take the vaccine?
Yeah.
I think so.
Yeah, 100%.
I do.
If Trump is president and he's pushing for vaccination, because I think he would, because he's like, whatever opens the fucking country up so we can start making money again, I wonder if there is a part of the Democratic Party that out of rejection to Trump, they go, well, there could be, you know, negative side effects of this.
Not enough testing has been done.
Like, you have to respect the scientific method and it takes years before we could inject something in our bodies.
We don't know what this will do.
I wonder if there would be that anti-Trump reaction.
Well, what's interesting is Trump takes credit for the vaccine.
The vaccine was created under my presidency.
And there's still, I remember driving in Fort Lauderdale, huge banner said, thank you, President Trump, for the vaccine.
Still, a bunch of those people aren't taking the vaccine.
So it's an odd thing.
Like, it's a little inconsistent to me in that you want this guy to get credit for the vaccine, then you discredit the vaccine.
Okay, so here's my follow-up question.
Would more people be vaccinated if Trump was president?
Nationally?
Because now it's become a political issue where the right is going, I don't want to get vaccinated out of a rejection of the left.
Like, Biden is going to come home to home and vaccinate all these people.
And it's become like this thing of pushback.
It's been politicized.
But they wouldn't give him pushback even when Trump.
Of course, of course.
And there's a certain amount of people who are just not going to get vaccinated, right?
And I'm not even going to push judgment upon them.
Like, that's just not what they believe in.
That's fine, okay.
But if Trump was president, the majority of the people who aren't getting vaccinated tend to be conservative leaning.
Yeah.
Right?
Some of those people are going to go, well, if our guy says it's all right, then we'll do it.
But if Biden is saying it, it's like, fuck that guy.
And everybody.
He trusts that guy.
He trusts his whole party.
He's just a mouthpiece for his party.
Fuck them.
I'm not taking this.
So are we ready to say that less people would have died of COVID if Trump was president?
It sounds crazy, but do you need juvenile to fucking sing?
You don't need Olivia Rodrigo.
He's Trump more powerful than all these people.
Trump would get the Nelt boys there if you get vaccinated on a vlog.
Yeah.
But I don't know that he might have said that the national mask mandate and all those other measures were up sooner, and then people might have been out sooner.
And then more people die.
And then potentially got COVID that way.
That's fair.
And then maybe more black people reject it because Trump is doing it.
Exactly.
Right?
More black people reject it.
There's already skepticism on how you got a perfect reason why.
Like, I don't trust nothing Trump is going to put in me, blah, blah, blah.
What the fuck?
I don't know how that happened.
Perpetual State Of Emergency00:05:49
Damn, bro.
You girl on your phone, dog.
That is weird.
Yeah, that was a little wild.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think you're right.
I think raw numbers, more people would be vaccinated if Trump was.
And I think that would be more effective than, like, if you lifted the mask mandate, but more people got vaccinated, probably the numbers would be down.
Do you think New York can shut down again?
I think Cuomo has been pretty strong in that, like, hey, we're going to open up in July.
We're on track.
And he hasn't been backtracking a lot.
It doesn't seem like he's been hedging a lot.
So I think I have more faith in New York than Cali.
I mean, Newsom is just a mega cuck.
Yeah, he's a cuck.
He's just a fucking plastic bag in the wind.
Dude, wherever the wind flows, that guy will go.
Yeah.
What an absolute bitch.
Yeah.
Fuck that guy, dude.
Fuck him.
Never heard him talk before.
But yeah, any place that the governor says is shut down, they'll shut down.
Like, I don't think it's a question of, like, can they or will they?
It's just like if the governor says to, because the businesses are obligated to follow the law or else they'll get fined or shut down.
So they're like, I'm not going to risk it.
I'm just going to shut down again.
Yeah, I just don't think he'll do it again.
There's such a huge impact to New York.
Like, everyone left.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Fuck New York.
But we left.
But to see how fast New York rebounded.
Like, remember our first conversation?
Al Tutcher put out that article.
New York's not going to be the same.
And he had this thing about remote working and all this other shit.
Like, to see the way that rents have skyrocketed in 30 days.
Yeah, we've been.
30 days since we've been businesses flourishing.
Like the businesses that did stay open and managed to make it through now have double the seating and they're packed.
They're making twice as much money because they have this huge outdoor sections that didn't exist before.
They're making twice as much money as they made before.
Restaurant reservations through the roof.
And they're still struggling because they can't even hire the service staff.
Oh, yeah.
They don't want to come off of the unemployment.
Another thing, luxury goods.
Sorry, to that point, there's a restaurant in Lincoln Center.
It's still shut down because they just can't hire a white staff.
Bro, when we were in Denver this past weekend, I'm looking up at the shows and we look in the balcony.
I see some empty seats on the balcony.
I'm like, what the fuck's going on?
This show's been sold out for two months.
Like, what's going on?
And I asked the GM and the guy goes, I'm sorry, we can't physically hire people.
But it was interesting.
He said, like, we just can't hire people.
And I thought it was really funny because the solution to like getting staff is like just paying them a livable wage.
Like, it's so funny because restaurants go like, we just can't hire people.
It's like, no, you can't.
You just have to pay them more than they're making on unemployment.
Why the fuck would they come back and work for you when they can make the same thing?
Like the garages in New York, they're not 24 hours anymore, most of them, because they just can't get guys to work from 12 a.m.
Yeah.
Until the morning.
So there's like that like, I don't know, six hour shift or whatever where nobody's there.
And it's like, there is an easy way.
Yeah.
Just pay them.
Yeah.
Like, if there's one thing maybe that we take away from this whole thing is like, if you give people free money, you have to give them more to work for it.
And parking garages is the most foul because it's like, what overhead do you have?
You need one guy there to park a fucking car at midnight.
Like a restaurant, you could say, oh, overhead bills, you got to pay so many things.
You got a parking lot.
It just sits there and holds your car.
That's all it does.
You got to pay one motherfucker an extra $5 an hour for five hours.
And you're like, no, I'm not.
50 bucks a day?
What are you crazy?
I'm not doing that.
That's wild.
It is crazy, man.
This is fucking crazy.
I don't know.
It's also crazy because it's 25 more per day.
It's 25 what?
You said 50.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
Yeah.
25.
For what?
What?
Hell yeah.
An extra 25 an hour.
All right.
Anytime I can just get back because of the test line.
All I'm trying to say is it's interesting.
And I would not be surprised if New York shuts down again, dude.
Really?
And the reason why I say that is because of how quickly it rebounded.
I think that they'll just go, hey, see how quick New York is back?
We're just going to shut down for a little and then we'll be right back like we were.
But my question is, how long are they just going to be operating with like emergency government measures?
Because right now the government's able to do all those kinds of things because they're operating like a state of emergency or whatever.
But like, is that just, are they just going to be in this perpetual state of emergency where they can just over like just jump over like legislative hoops and just put it as long as you cucks don't get vaccinated, as long as you unvaccinated motherfuckers are out there dying from COVID, this will happen.
And they'll have the power to do it and then be able to justify it.
And the rich won't care because the rich just got richer during the pandemic.
Who's going to give pushback?
The only people that can get pushback and actually change the legislation are rich motherfuckers.
And if they all made 50% more money during the pandemic, you'd think they're going to say no to another.
They don't got to listen to your lockdown rules.
They're flying wherever the fuck they want to on private jets.
I'm social distance as I can be.
As long as you flood the stock market with enough cash that keeps the stocks up so I'm not losing any of my money because I hide it all in the fucking stock market anyway.
Or not even hide it, but that's where I place it.
Like, yeah, they're not pissed.
They're not pissed at inflation either because now their money's in cash.
Right.
Only idiots like me keep their money in cash, right?
They got all their money in the stock market, so those stocks just keep on rising at the level of inflation, everything evens out.
Yeah.
But if they're, if the metric is, oh, like cases are going up and people can still get cases in small amounts with the vaccine, then like they'll just keep on going forever, even if everyone's vaccinated.
The metric is not cases, it's deaths.
Well, I thought it was cases, but I'm pretty sure it's deaths.
I mean, listen, if it's just cases, again, I think people will be like, Doug, the flu ravages us every winter.
We don't give a fuck.
It kills a small percentage of people.
If it's just you're getting sick and you're recovering, I don't think you can shut down justifiably.
Big Pay-Per-View Fight00:13:35
I think it's just too much uproar.
There's going to be uproar over this.
I'll tell you right now, I'll tell you right now, if they shut this shit down again, we out again.
I like hearing that.
Out again.
I'm being dead serious.
I'm not doing it.
If they shut it, shut this shit down again.
We are out again.
It's going to be the day after I sign a lease.
100%.
Me too, motherfucker.
I still can't get to my shit either.
But like, yeah, 100%.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm sorry.
If it's like a week-long thing or whatever like that, then that's fine.
But if they're if we're literally going through the same thing that we went through last time, there's a new variant that comes out, or next year's COVID, COVID-20 comes through and just starts fucking killing people again, we're going to Florida and we're going earlier or we're going to another place that's wide open.
But it's no way to live life if we have the opportunity to do it.
I mean, do you guys agree?
Yes.
Al, I didn't want to come back in the first place.
But, Al?
We really put in the what the fuck in WTF me.
That's the government.
Yo, that's you, bro.
That's you.
If more people just got vaccinated, this wouldn't be happening.
It's really your karma.
Let's talk about some sports before we get out of here.
UFC.
There's this fight over the weekend that we watch in the most fire green room ever that is just outside.
It's not really a green room.
We kind of like made it that, but they like own the restaurant that's upstairs from the comedy club.
And they just have this like big terrace.
It's like the terrace.
And when you're doing three shows and you're like in a green room for eight hours, oh, it can really wear on you.
But then you go outside.
It's beautiful.
So we're watching the fight.
Islam.
He also almost died climbing up the stairs.
Also, that.
They're the elevation.
You know, it was crazy.
We're just passing that.
Islam Mahashev or something.
I don't know exactly how to pronounce his name.
So he fights this other guy.
Khabib's guy, right?
Khabib's guy.
Here's the thing that's really interesting and made me realize what's going on with the UFC and why they have a big problem.
They potentially have a big problem where their most dominant fighters are not interesting.
He's incredibly dominant.
He's brilliant in his ability to control the fight, but it's wildly boring for the casual.
I'm sure if you're a wrestling fan or a grappling fan, seeing this guy's use of his weight and movement of his hips and his ability to maintain control is really exciting.
Watching a chess match or something like that for someone who's really into chess is exciting.
But for someone who's never played, it's like, what the fuck is this boring ass game?
Right.
So the people that are the highest money-making fighters in the UFC, right?
Are not guys who have these amazing records, right?
You're looking at Connor, Nate Diaz, and I think Jorge Masvedal.
All guys who have lost their last fight.
Jorge Masvedal and Nate Diaz, if you looked at their records, are journeymen, essentially.
Connor is maybe the most engaging sports figure of the last, I don't know, 25 years.
It's unbelievable what this guy can do.
They fight in exciting ways.
Strikers going for knockouts, big-time fights.
They can promote the fuck out of a fight.
My concern for the UFC and for Dana White is: what is he to do with a guy who is not very exciting in the promo or buildup of a fight?
You know, the people in Khabib camp are about respect and not really ruffling feathers, not saying anything that could be disrespectful or even hurtful to an opponent, just coming out there and getting it done.
Well, this isn't the Olympics.
Yeah.
This is the entertainment business.
We're selling pay-per-views.
Selling fucking pay-per-views.
You're not engaging in the pre-fight.
You're not engaging in the post-fight.
During the fight, it's boring as fuck because you're just on top of the guy the whole time.
Is Dana White terrified that this is going to be the next guy who dominates the division?
I think he's okay because he's got enough other people.
And I think the sport has been growing and it grew with Khabib.
And there will be somebody who will provoke this motherfucker.
Somebody going to come around.
You're going to get another Connor.
You got Izzy here.
He's going to like, you're still going to make your money for Dana White.
And then you can point to this guy and call him the technician or whatever.
Not everybody has to be Izzy, Connor, Nate Diaz.
You got those guys to carry, and then you got these other guys that say, oh, look how technically superior he is.
I think.
That's what I'm thinking as I'm hearing this out loud.
Like, you need a guy like that.
You need a guy like Khabib.
You need a guy like this to be like, oh, look how good and dominant he is.
And then you need the other guys like Masvedol to be like, man, that guy's just fun, huh?
Let's just watch this.
Otherwise, it's just a spectacle.
It made me look at this and go, holy shit, Khabib really needed Connor.
Yes.
I don't think anybody give a fuck about Khabib without Connor.
And he is the most dominant person that's ever fought in a sport.
But Connor comes around, that rivalry really props up Khabib.
And Khabib gets to profit off of that rivalry.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, all the antics and shit that happens around the Connor Khabib fight.
Yeah.
I mean, next level.
Yeah.
So it's just like, is Khabib as financially viable as he is now without Connor?
I don't think so.
Like, we almost like, and also he's kind of a, he's kind of charismatic.
He understands entertainment.
He's more so than this other dude.
But like, Connor really built up the mystique of Khabib.
100%.
Now, I don't think Khabib is really driven by money from what it seems.
He loves to fight and he'll take money, but he doesn't really seem that driven by it.
So I don't want to act like he's hypocritical or whatever, but like, for sure, I didn't know about Khabib until Connor.
Yeah.
And I'm very much a casual.
So I guess what I'm saying is like, if these guys, these guys meaning like the Dagestani wrestler types, right, are going to be dominant in the UFC, you need to make sure that you're pairing them with incredibly charismatic and entertaining fighters, even if they beat them, that they can push and promote the fight.
You know what would be great?
Dylan Donnis.
Yeah.
If his knee is right, he'll promote the fuck out of that fight.
But you need that.
You need that.
You need that because they're not going to promote it and they're not going to make it interesting.
I have no interest in watching that guy fight again.
He did nothing for me.
If there's a fight with him next week and it's a pay-per-view, I'm not paying.
I don't care unless the other guy on that card.
And it's just really interesting to see what happened.
And like, I feel almost the same way with the Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley fight.
Yeah.
Like, I feel like Tyron, if you spoke to him and you had like a conversation, he'd probably have like cool stories, like interesting fight stuff, background.
He's probably like a good guy.
But in terms of like raw entertainment value in like a press conference, he's not interesting.
Right.
One-to-one, probably fucking amazing.
Right.
Raw entertainment, not bringing it.
Right.
I don't think there's a lot of curiosity about this fight.
And I think that Jake picked the wrong opponent.
Yeah.
Jake's going to have to carry this fucking promotion like crazy.
I think he underestimated how much Ben Asprin did to help.
Ben was amazing in the buildup of that fight because he's an incredibly entertaining character.
Whether you like him or not, he's entertaining.
I was definitely more intrigued when I saw that little thing where he shoved Ben and Ben like slapped his face or whatever it was, touched, you know what I mean?
Like that made me talking shit and like, dude, are you jealous of your brother?
I would end you in a street fight, whatever he said.
I would commit homicide.
Like all that shit made me more interested in this fight.
This Tyron Woodley fight, I'm curious, but I'm not like, I gotta buy this.
I'll buy it to talk about it here, but I don't.
I mean, all I'm saying is like Jake's gonna have to work double time.
Yeah.
Like he's already doing the thing with the tattoo.
He's like, the loser gets the other person's name tattooed on their body.
I mean, there's great stakes with that.
I didn't bet that.
That's such a good bet, though.
The stakes are good.
But will you pay the pay-per-view to see who gets the tattoo?
Or will you just go, oh, okay, one of them won.
I'll see that.
I'll go on Instagram and watch the tattoo.
Exactly.
I don't think Tyron is interesting enough to where I want to see him either beat Jake Paul or Jake Paul beat him.
And I think Jake is in this interesting space where, like, because he's won a few of these fights, he's actually becoming likable.
He's no longer really the underdog either.
Like, yeah, you're looking at him being like, oh, yeah, he probably should be Tyron.
Yeah, now we believe he's good.
I'm looking at him.
He looks way bigger.
He looks taller.
He looks stronger.
We believe he can hit.
Paul had a good point.
He's been training as a boxer for the last four years.
That's it.
And Tyron's been rapping.
Yeah.
Like, doing other shit.
Doing MMA stuff, kind of.
Wrestling, like.
Yeah.
That kind of stuff's not helping you when you get in the ring.
So now we're like, we believe in Jake's ability.
And there's a likability attached to it because we're like, yo, this guy who was like the Disney star punk is actually about that life.
Yeah, he can go up in the ring, right?
So now the desire to see the Disney star kid get beaten up is limited.
And the desire to watch the opponent fight at all is non-existent.
So where's the interest in the fight?
Yeah.
Like if it was Nate Diaz fighting Jake, I'm in.
You just love Nate so much, you're like, all right, Nate, shut the kid up.
Yeah.
But now, I think a lot of people don't like Tyron.
I think more people like Jake than Tyron.
That is not the fighter that you want to fight.
Jake is amazing at garnering interest on the internet and being like unlikable, a troll.
He's amazing at getting people to go, fuck Jake Paul.
And you're signing up because you want to see him get knocked out.
He's better as a heel.
That's a way, way better way to say it.
He's better as a heel.
And he's positioned himself as the face.
Yeah.
And it's not even his liking.
He doesn't even want to be the face, I don't think.
But I think that Tyron has such a lack of interest that it leaves Jake as the face of the fight.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
Do you have any interest?
Do you guys have interest in it?
When they announced the fight, I had no interest in it.
Yeah, I had no interest in it.
And Tyron's not, if you're a heel, you need a hero.
Tyron's not a great hero.
That's the thing.
He seems cool, but I'm not like, fuck, let's go.
I don't know him to have a big fan following when he fought UFC even.
No, that was a big issue with the UFC is that people didn't want to watch him fight.
They thought the fights were boring.
So now you're looking at a guy who wasn't a hero, and now we have to kind of make him the hero.
And then all the heel stuff from Jake is just getting a little funnier and less heel-ish, less hateable.
So the emotion's not there.
The draw is not there.
Yeah.
I think they're just looking at it as like a stepping stone where they go, like, we can.
Yeah, but he's got to win.
If we can loses, he's fucked.
Right.
But if he's like, if we can beat like this likely beatable UFC champ.
A former UFC champ.
Like that puts you now at the next.
You beat a UFC guy.
Now you beat a UFC champ.
And I think that just opens up the staircase.
I'm sure they have a whole, like, they have their whole chronicle of how they want it to go.
I think.
Okay, so then maybe you take a little bit of an L on this.
I mean, I just don't see it.
I mean, look, Jake has a way of galvanizing the internet.
He'll find ways to make this thing, most likely.
But on its face.
If he doesn't get, if he doesn't win this fight, he's fucked.
If he wins this fight, the next one will probably be bigger because he got this under his belt.
But my feeling is no matter who he fought, the next one's going to be bigger.
Just make sure you engage with people that are engaging.
Dude, Jake Paul versus Nate Diaz right now would be fucking insane.
Yeah, but like if he keeps on knocking out like former NBA guys, like that just gets old.
It's like, all right.
Yeah, you can beat up the guys that.
Depending how invested we are in those people.
Like we're really invested in those people.
If he fights Alan Iverson.
I don't see that.
Really?
Yeah.
If he's fighting someone that we love, if he fights Alan Iverson, you don't think motherfuckers are tuning into that shit?
That's why I wish they should just keep it celebrity boxing.
Yeah.
But he'll just beat the shit out of celebrities.
He'll beat the shit out of celebrities.
But celebrities will talk more.
Like they'll make it more like it'd be fun.
Yeah.
Hey, that's a great point.
The reason why the celebrity box is interesting is because they know how to entertain.
They know how to build up the fight.
The crossover is the fighter who can entertain.
Yeah.
That's the crossover.
That's why he wants Connor so badly.
Yeah.
My suspicion is I think he's trying to pivot into like a legit boxing career.
Yeah.
Or at least like semi-legit and like try to get like a prize fight with like Canelo or like Floyd or some shit.
I don't think he wants a legit prize fight.
You don't think so?
And I think there are too many years.
I think he's just.
Canelo will fuck him up.
He started too late.
Yeah.
I think he started too late to fight the elite of elites.
I don't think he started too late to fight MMA guys that learned how to strike around his age as well.
Right.
Because a career wrestler that learned how to strike when they're 22 years old or something like that when they entered MMA or something.
When he learned how to seriously, exactly.
It's basically what he was doing.
So now you're on a level playing field.
But I think he's going for like a big pay-per-view fight.
It's a conner thing or somebody else who is a massive star in fight sports, but not necessarily qualified as an elite boxer.
I don't think you want to do that.
I think Adrian Broner.
That'd be the best one.
I mean, that'd be hilarious.
That'd be so much fun.
The buildup would be unbelievable.
That'd be great.
For real talk.
Yeah, we don't have a chance.
Oh, I think he's too big for Adrian.
Oh, okay, but I mean...
Because Adrian's tiny.
Adrian's 100% tinier than Floyd.
Smaller than Floyd.
Yes.
I thought he was bigger than him.
No, Adrian fought between like 135, I think he's fighting.
I think he'll put on weight.
Like Floyd walks around his fight weight.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Adrian seems like he'll put on some weight so he'll look bigger.
And then for the fight, he'll be in fighting shape.
Like he don't carry.
He's not going to stay in shape all year.
Well, he gets fat.
But like Adrian is smaller than Floyd.
Yeah.
And that's a good fight smaller.
I want to say it nicer, but yeah, he gets fat in between fights.
Floyd doesn't.
Floyd stays in shape all year.
That shit would be entertaining.
Yeah.
For real.
That's the fight.
Yeah.
He'll find something.
Because we don't want to see Adrian fight boxers anymore and just keep getting beat up.
Just end up fighting these celebs.
That'd be great.
Yeah.
That'd be a great idea.
Adrian got to get into the celeb boxing game.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, look, guys, anything else before we get out of here?
No, it's good.
Okay.
Well, we love you.
We appreciate you.
