Scuba Diving Mishaps00:07:01
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to Flagrant 2.
It's your boy Schultze.
I'm here with Akash Singh, Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, and the Truffle in New York.
I'm back in America.
How was your guys' weekend?
It was good, man.
How was Paris?
Yeah, we didn't go to Paris, though.
Why are you asking us to do that?
You were in Georgia.
You were in Orlando.
You were in the Keys.
Y'all did cool shit.
Yeah.
Tried.
Domestic shit.
Al went, I went to the Keys.
Al forgot it was hurricane season.
He was like, I think I'm going to go scuba diving this weekend.
Went to the epicenter of the fucking hurricanes to Florida to see if he could go scuba diving.
Sometimes you get lucky.
Got rolling decks.
I know Al fucked up because he was like down the keys.
He was posting something.
And then I saw a little bit later he's at like a Rogan show.
And I was like, oh, yeah, it didn't go exactly.
I didn't go exactly as planned.
I know Al has a lot of love for Rogan, especially everything he's done for us, but I don't know if he's flying to Florida to go to a Rogan show, especially when Rogan's coming to Madison Square Garden.
So I hit him.
I was like, yo, what's going on?
And then he's like, yeah, the scuba dive didn't really work.
This bitch Hurricane Ida fucking all my shit.
Yeah, she fucked shit up, bro.
I'm just glad it didn't hit the keys, so that's good.
So, like, the weather was still good.
It was just, it fucks up the water and then it makes it murky, and it's no point.
Well, you should be able to scuba dive, though.
You're under the water.
Like, hurricanes above the water.
Nah, for some reason, the wind affects the murkiness of the water.
And I don't want murkiness when I'm scuba diving like that.
You're going down there and you can't see shit.
Yeah, some sharks.
Sharks.
Like, that's the most terrifying.
It's one thing to see a shark from far, but imagine like you just turn around and the shark comes right out of the murkiness.
But you said you never scuba dive.
Nah.
I don't believe in it, really.
Nah, I don't believe in it.
If you need to, it's amazing.
I know.
I believe it's amazing.
Experience is amazing.
It's better than skydiving.
I believe it's amazing, but I don't believe in it.
And what's the fuck does that mean?
It's being underwater longer than you're supposed to.
That's that how God ordained us.
Oh, no.
No.
You know what I'm saying?
Especially, like, I could maybe do that shit in the same way that you do snorkeling.
You know, like, where it's like, basically, I'll snorkel, but I could just pop up if I need a bathtub.
Oh, no, but let me just say this.
You didn't scuba in a hurricane.
That's pussy, bro.
Let me say this, though.
Let me say this, though.
I don't believe in that scuba diving where you can't come up.
You got to like chill for 30 minutes.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The elevator.
The bends or whatever, you got to get the fucking bends, they call it.
But no, but so you don't have the bends, right?
So if you go like 100 feet, you can't just go straight up if you got to.
You depressurize.
Yeah, yeah.
Depressurize.
Yeah.
That's terrifying, yo.
Son, no.
Yeah, you're terrifying.
You wouldn't even qualify to go that far down.
You're not there yet.
You're not there.
You sound so white.
You got to work your way up to that.
You sound so white right now.
No, the rules to be able to do this.
Go back to gym class.
Get the fuck out of here, bro.
Get the fuck out of here, son.
You got to work your way up to that.
You're not ready to go.
You're a fucking zoo, bro.
Hey, I lose our body.
You're white as shit.
You went to the zoo?
I went to the aquarium.
Water zoo.
What up?
Protected from the water.
It's a class between us.
It's basically scuba diving.
It's the same shit, but I'm not.
Hey, I can breathe everyone any other time I want to.
Which one of us are black here, son?
I'm going to swim and you just hiding from the water between the water.
Black people, do they love the aquarium or what?
They did in Atlanta.
They also love Atlanta, so I don't know.
That's true.
I don't know.
There's just something about being in the water and not being able to be in control of my destiny.
I do not like that shit.
I got to just sit here for 30 minutes, hope I don't run out of fucking oxygen so I don't get a headache.
Mad scary.
Bro, you think it's just random amounts of air in there?
Say what?
You think it's just a random amount of air?
I think it's a tank come out.
Yeah, and then you look at your watch and go, oh, I got this amount.
Yeah, what if my watch is wrong?
You ever had those soon?
It's so many variables, dog.
It's so many variables.
What happens?
There's a little leak.
I bumped into some coral.
And you're just going to see bubbles.
You can't go on.
You can.
You get the bends.
What's going to happen to you?
Lungs explode.
Oh, you breathe out on the way up.
Lungs explode.
The benz is in your blood.
Look it up.
The benz is in your blood.
I look it up.
No, you just feel mad sick if you don't.
Nah, your lungs explode.
Nah, it's not in the bench.
Do your lungs explode, dumb frackles or some shit.
Nah, bro.
I'm scuba certified.
Oh, you really?
Yeah, I'm open water certified.
Come on.
You gotta go.
That's only like 10 feet.
That's like 10, 12 feet.
That's the pussy shit.
That's full basketball certified.
Nobody care about that.
You don't even give you flippers.
You're not even certified.
So that's why this guy.
Yes, I have.
What's certification?
What's certification?
It's like wiki or some shit like that.
No, it's that's not even one.
You know, bro.
It's only one fucking certified.
That's open water.
And then the next is Rescue Diver.
Come on.
Yeah, I'm not deep.
I don't go deep, Paul.
You can go 50.
You can go 50 feet down.
What?
You could go 50 feet with open water.
Can I come?
Can I come up in a breath on that one or no?
You got to breathe out.
Yes.
How am I supposed to breathe out if I need to have the air?
Y'all.
Y'all try to kill me.
Y'all try to kill me.
This is your advice.
This is your advice.
You got to take.
You got to take it.
But with that depth, you don't have to pressurize on your way up.
Like, you do a little bit on your ears, but not like for the rest of your body.
I don't know if I believe that because when I was in the locker.
Yeah, just scuba diving.
Not screwed up.
I was snorkeled diving, right?
And we were.
Snorkel diving.
Don't call it diving.
That's not diving.
If the back of your hand is getting summer, hold your breath.
Snorkel on me.
The back of your head's getting summer, bro.
If it's getting summer, it's not.
I was snorkeling.
I was snorkeling.
Snorkel floating.
I was snorkeling.
That's like your motor's like.
I was snorkeled down.
I took my electric bike to work and I'll be snorkeling.
That's a Hardley Davidson.
What do we call it?
Pete Davidson?
That's the best name for it.
So I was snorkeled diving and I went down to go touch the coral.
And maybe it was like 20 feet or some shit like that.
Bro, I couldn't.
My head was going to explode just going down.
I had to clear my ears like you're in the plane on the way down just to get that depth.
Does this make sense?
Yes, it does.
Yes, because especially that thing, it has your nose and your eyes.
So you feel that pressure and then you start to panic a little bit.
So now you breathe in.
And because you panic, you go, yeah.
And so now you just made it tighter and you feel like your head's about to.
So how the fuck am I supposed to go to the bathroom?
It's way different.
That's not funny.
It's way different when you have the fucking tank on you.
Because now it's just constant air going in and out.
So you don't even feel the pressure on your eyes.
We're not supposed to go that deep.
Yeah, we're not supposed to go down.
I was snorkeled.
How deep were we supposed to go?
As deep as you can go until it hurts.
And then you're supposed to come up.
There's your body going, yurr.
He's trespassing now.
This too.
No, one day we're going to go and you're going to fucking love it now.
You're going to love it so much.
You're going to want to go all the time.
You're going to want to go to the keys during hurricane season just to not scuba dive.
That's how much you're going to do.
What am I going to see there?
I can see it.
It's so beautiful.
I'm telling you.
That shit's an aquarium, but you're in it.
I've seen fish.
Fishes are whack.
Nah.
Fish are whack.
You find treasure?
Hotel Bed Fart Incident00:14:43
What about you?
Now, the treasure thing is kind of lit.
Yes.
Maybe if there was some treasure attached, but I'm doing that for financial gain.
I'm not doing it just to enjoy nature.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think it's dangerous and I don't think you should do it.
I'm glad you didn't do it this weekend.
Okay.
I'd have saved your life, bro.
Nah, man.
Ida did save your life.
I missed out, son.
It's Ida really did save your life, bro.
Mark, we're going to go back down.
We're going to go.
Yeah, let's run it.
Okay, I cost anyone.
Nah, I'm going to run.
The fact that he hasn't talked about Paris at all makes me suspicious.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck your trip.
So what's up?
Yeah.
Fuck God.
We always let him slide with that shit.
Why does he ever let us talk his long about ourselves?
That's what I'm saying.
Mark, how are your parents?
I should have caught that.
What did he ask about my parents?
Oh, shit.
So, anyway.
You guys did cool shit.
You went to Georgia?
You went to Atlanta?
Yo, congrats to Jake Paul, man.
That's all I got to say.
Back on topic.
Yeah.
Let's go.
What's up?
Talk about it.
Talk about it.
I shit the bed in my sleep, bro.
What?
What?
I shit the bed in my sleep.
Is that a metaphor?
No, I shit the bed in my sleep.
Nah, you're lying.
I swear to God, in my life, we want to have the most romantic night of our life.
I shit the bed in my sleep.
Shout out, Culford Underworld.
I shit the bed in my sleep, bro.
I shit the bed in my sleep.
I'm eating fucking bread and cheese all for three days straight.
I knew it.
Okay.
I had a super romantic night.
I haven't slept.
I'm all jet lagged.
My shit cycle's all fucked up.
Okay?
Nah.
This guy goes from no bread, monkey.
No bread, no cheese, no sugar.
I'm just eating fucking patisseries, tartines, everything like that.
I'm eating bread, cheese, non-stop.
OT on the bread and cheese sauce.
He's like, no way.
Son, I literally, we go out for the most romantic night.
Let me tell you the whole thing.
How the fuck we ain't saw that?
Jose is crazy.
I can't believe I shit the bed.
Okay, okay.
So look, I'm so upset at myself, son.
I saw, okay, so we do the whole fucking day.
She loves you, dog.
Say what?
She loves you, dog.
I thought it was her.
I thought she loves you.
I've never shit the bed before, son.
I thought it was her.
I got up.
I saw a little stay on the bed.
I'm like, yo, it must be her period.
Oh, bro.
I saw she got her period.
I was like, I'll just go and get her period.
Now wake up and do nothing about it.
I started walking down the stairs.
Like, why my asshole cold?
Oh, my God.
You all sleep naked?
That's my asshole cold.
No, it was in my culprit.
It went through the culprit.
It was in my culprit.
Oh, let me tell you something.
I might have shit my bed and slept through it for six to eight hours.
Shit my bed and slept through it for six to eight hours.
Minimum.
I'm walking down the stairs in our hotel room, okay?
And I felt about like the third stair.
I was like, man, why my asshole cold and wet?
And I was like, what is going on here?
And then I put a two and two together.
I was like, I just saw.
Yeah, literally, number two and number two.
I saw her period stain on the fucking bed.
I was like, maybe that wasn't a period stain because it was on my side.
Why would it be?
Why would she get on my side?
And then I went to the bathroom.
I took off my fucking undies.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Like a fireball.
Like what?
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Not like a log.
A little sneeze.
It's a little creme brulee.
Yeah, like a child.
I had a little creme brulee.
It's just a pawn shuckle.
That's all.
That's all it is, bro.
Okay, so now.
We had the most romantic fucking day.
It was absolutely beautiful.
Your boy was pulling out all the stops.
I had the fucking vacation.
Yeah, no, you wasn't healthy.
There's no shock.
Great vacation, Duff.
It's my idea.
That's my idea.
Dub did a great job.
He helped me out.
He was the one who found a car spot.
But I also had Laurent helping out, bro.
Hey, yo, shout out to Jerking Meat.
Give it up to everybody else.
Yo, I had a lot of people helping me.
I shoot up.
I had a lot of people helping me.
No, no.
That's all you did, Doug.
That's all you did.
That was your whole vacation.
I show up, I look fly, and I shit the bed.
I'm talking to a French rental car owner while I'm in a bathrobe in Italy.
I was having my trip too.
I'm an ideas guy.
I'm an ideas guy, bro.
I come up with the idea.
I'm a manager.
I'm Kanye.
So I learned how to make my child in the house there.
This is the idea.
You execute.
Build an apartment building in Paris, boy.
That's it.
I'm at the highest fucking thing looking at the Eiffel Tower.
I pull out all the stocks.
I call Dove.
I call Laurent.
It's the ideas.
I thought about the ideas.
You couldn't even stop your colins.
Son, can I?
And I'll be honest, I think I remember the fart that I did.
I remember the fart that did.
That's the word.
I remember the fart dick because I pushed hella hard.
Yeah.
But I was just so tired, bro.
And I remember I just, I pushed hella hard and I just fucking punctured through, dude.
I literally, yeah, anyway.
So, yeah, so we had a really romantic.
Did you have to wake her up and be like, yeah, yeah, did you try to hide it?
Son, I didn't know to the morning.
Y'all didn't understand.
I know she already aware.
Where was she?
No, I said on the way down, I was like, damn, I think I shit the bed.
I thought I'd try to throw it on her, but I thought that, yo, babe, you shit the bed.
You didn't even try?
Say what?
You didn't even try?
No, I didn't fucking try.
I shit the bed and then went and bought her a fucking purse at her mess a few hours later.
We gotta cover this thing up.
We gotta, somebody needs a Kelly bag.
We gotta cover this thing up.
Wow.
Fuck.
Boy, we're struggling.
We went shopping, boy.
We went shopping, bro.
Women be shopping.
Yo, you taking shit in the bed in Paris.
You know what I mean?
I don't know how to hold in bread.
I haven't eaten bread in a year and a half.
Why are you holding all shit?
No.
And that shit didn't.
No.
No.
And I'll be honest, I haven't had confidence in my farts for 48 hours minimum.
No, no.
I've been farting and just letting a little bit out.
Like, I've been farting.
Like, it's Call of Duty when you see if someone's around the corner.
Like, you know, you like, pop it in there.
Every time I fart, it's just like super delicate.
A lot of focus on the lips.
Damn.
So did you buy yourself anything?
No, I didn't buy myself some chins or he bought some bread and cheese.
He lost some.
I should have really brought a diaper, too.
Nah.
We went to this fucking store.
Couldn't get a goddamn appointment.
She was so excited.
We go into the store and I'm like, I got to do something, boy.
Like, I got to make this fucking happen.
So we go in there and I'm just like, yo, what's good?
Like, they're like, I shit the bed.
Yo, I didn't say that.
You know how people say it as an expression?
I know.
He's probably like, oh, yeah, what'd you do?
He's like, I shit the bed.
Does it feel like the expression?
Like, when people say it?
No, no.
It's actually, it's an understatement, really.
People really misuse that expression.
It's much different.
Like, it's much different when it happens in real life to you.
And you're sitting there looking at your underwear as you take the rest of your shit.
Oh, my God.
You're just lucky it was at a hotel.
Because if this was at your house, the whole bed is gone.
You got to throw out the whole bed.
Oh, you're a piece.
You're our piece of shit.
We got to buy them a liner.
Did you strip the sheets when the maid came or you just let her handle it?
I don't know, man.
I'm 100%.
He let her handle it.
I don't even know if we changed the sheets.
Oh, my God.
No.
I don't know if we changed the sheets.
I know she went light.
She went light.
She went like that, bro.
You got to tell them to change the shit.
There's no way she would let that happen.
We went shopping, bro.
That shit was crazy.
Damn, I almost stole a fucking bag from her mess.
That's another thing that happened.
I like that.
On accident.
On accident.
Yeah, you had a lot of accidents.
I did a lot of accident.
And this would have been a good accident.
We go through this whole thing.
This fucking Disney world for her.
We're in there.
I'm like, I got to make this shit happen.
Somehow we get an appointment for fucking leather goods, right?
You got to understand, like, bags for them are like the most exclusive Jordan ever for us.
Like, they're off-weights to watch.
But like, off-weights times a million.
Like, it means so much to them.
And they know it and they build the culture around it.
It's amazing.
When we get this appointment, they take us up to another room where they sit us down and they just start talking to us for half hours.
Do you need an appointment?
Like, how does it work?
Oh, it's a shit.
You can't get an appointment.
And even if you have status in New York or California or in America anyway, it doesn't mean anything over there.
Why'd you guys say you, bro?
What do you mean?
You said I couldn't get an appointment.
I feel like.
No, you definitely couldn't.
Now you might be able to.
Who knows?
But we got lucky.
We were walking in there just looking regular as fuck, walking in there.
Like, I was like, I got to make this shit up.
So we sit down and I'm like, I got to build some fucking, you know, rapport with this guy.
Like, I got to deliver for this girl.
She's freaking out.
She didn't know what to say.
And I'm like, all right, we got this.
So I start talking to the dude.
And the way that you ingratiate yourself to any French people right now is you just say this.
This is how French people are on your side.
If you just say this, you'd be like, say, you know, my tour guide at we were at Versailles today, and the tour guide said that we're so lucky to be able to experience Paris without Chinese tourists.
If you say that, if you say that, if you say that, it doesn't matter what French person, they light up.
Their eyes light up.
Oh, Mike, this is so true.
It's amazing.
The city, you can finally experience it.
It's incredible.
They're not walking around with their groups, with their flag, you know, coming off of the stick.
The selfie stick.
Yeah, like they just go crazy.
So immediately he's starting to like warm up, right?
And I'm like, oh, yeah, we got this kind of guy.
To be fair to Paris, that was way less racist than I thought it would be.
Oh, just wait.
Okay, there's more where this came from.
So we're, so we're just talking, we're just, we're just talking.
I'm like trying to like, you know, build some report of this guy.
I'm like, how do I establish value without bragging?
Because French people don't like when you're bragging about money's gross to them.
It's like dirty, but at the same time, this is like you have to establish, you know, what's going on.
So we're saying like nice restaurants that we're going to, oh, we ate at this restaurant, this, that, the other, whatever.
Like, my girl's like freaking out.
I'm sweating.
There's beads of sweat dripping down my face, right?
How many hours post shit is this?
Six.
Oh my God.
So it's still in your head a little.
Still in my head completely.
Maybe six to eight.
We're there for 30 minutes talking.
30 minutes back and forth.
Talking about what?
Who you are, what's going on.
Like they're trying to like decide if they're even going to offer you.
They get to offer you the bag.
You say what you want.
They might not have your color, the one you want.
No, we're out of stock.
So it's not on the floor.
This stuff is like this guy has to go and bang.
It's the Burke bag.
It's a, there's a Kelly.
It's a different version of it.
I remember one time I looked into Birkins and it's like, you can't just buy one?
Yeah, you can't.
It's almost like Rolexes.
Like you have to wait, be on a list, and then you only really get called if you're somebody.
And here's the thing about these bags, right?
It's more so than AP or anything.
Like the exclusivity of it.
It's all exclusivity.
And they call you.
And if you don't accept what they offer you, they might never call your ass again.
So you got a bunch of these old rich bitches that just got a bunch of bags.
They're not even wearing it, hoping to get the one that they want.
Oh, wow.
So we're like, I'm like, all right, let's build some report, blah, blah, blah.
The girl, the dude goes, okay, my girl says what she likes.
And my girl's, okay, I might have something for you.
She goes to the room.
So we're just sitting there.
She's freaking out.
She goes, I don't know.
She goes, I know this is stupid.
I know this is fucking dumb.
I go, I get it.
I kind of get it.
It's like, you know, if we had access to like the new off-whites or something like that, it'd be, it'd be really cool or whatever.
So we're like, let's just make it happen.
He goes, why don't you guys come with me?
We go to yet another place.
He has one box.
He goes, there's two options for you.
You see this one.
She opens it up.
It's like everything my girl wants.
It's like fucking perfect.
Right.
So I'm like, okay, this is good.
But he's going to know that we're frauds.
Like, what's going on?
How do we work around this?
He's starting to get comfortable.
We're starting to talk more out of nowhere.
He just goes, he's just like, yeah, you know, is it Paris?
I don't like Paris, you know, anymore.
It's just, is this too dangerous?
And now where this is going.
I'm like, uh-oh.
I really want my girl to get this bag.
Okay.
Right?
I really want her.
What am I going to have to agree with?
Yeah.
He sounded like one of my uncles.
I brought up the whole Chinese thing, so I know he's like really comfortable.
You know what I mean?
So he goes, he goes, he goes, yeah, you know, I have to move.
You cannot live in this neighborhood.
It's like, you know, you just want the neighborhood with good white people.
I go, fuck, bro.
And I'm like trying to change the conversation.
I'm like, yeah, you know, it's crazy.
Like, there's just movies are coming out.
I'm like, I don't even know what I'm saying.
At this point, I'm like, what's going on?
He goes, yeah, see, good white people, maybe move to the suburb or something like that, the neighborhood with good white people.
It's something they're trying to replace us.
They're replacing us.
This is what they're doing.
They're bringing these people from Afghanistan to replace us.
So we do not have our city anymore.
Our city is you cannot live here.
It's not Paris.
He's telling me, he's just going in.
I'm like, trying to make Paris great again, this guy.
He's really trying to make Paris great.
And I'm looking at my girl.
My girl's looking at me, like, how much racism are we going to fuck up with for this fucking bag?
Equal rights or this sick bag.
How much is going to be?
So I'm just sitting here.
I'm like, all right, listen, we're going to get this bag today.
And so we go.
He goes, I go, I asked, I was like, this is really cool.
I'm just curious what the other one looks like.
And the guy goes, I just want to let you know, I can show you the other one, but this one might not be available after I show you.
Oh, shit.
Oh, so it was dealer, no deal.
Deal or fucking no-deal with the box.
Hell yeah.
Literally.
So now you got to go, oh my God, is there something better in the other box?
My girl's like, nah, this is one.
Let's just go do it.
But this is brilliant.
It's all game.
But you know, he's lying.
He's lying.
There's no one in the room.
We're alone.
It's just us.
Are you going to buy it?
Because it's all up to him, whether or not he offers it to you.
He's essentially, I think, saying, maybe I don't offer that to you if this isn't good enough for you.
That is also the case.
So, so you look at this whole situation.
You look at this whole situation, and it's so brilliant because they're selling you out the door, right?
Like, you feel like you got something that is so fucking good.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
So, like, you want to walk away with the 50,000?
You want to go for 250?
Yeah.
Can't we just build a wall for a little and like just ask like, let's just look at the other ones?
Something.
So, I'm looking at this.
He would love that.
He would really love it.
So, we go, we go, we get the bag, right?
I'm calling my fucking business manager.
I'm like, bro, make sure these fucking credit cards work.
It's, you know what I mean?
I'm like, it's a weekend.
He's probably at his like kids' fucking cookout or some shit like that.
I'm like, bro, please.
Yeah, you get one card error.
Please, please, don't fuck this up.
We went through all this stuff.
Business Manager Call00:02:11
I put up with fucking racism.
There's a lot going on.
Don't let my fucking card get canceled, right?
So we go.
He goes like this.
Now, I'm so fucking uncouth.
I don't know about any of this shit.
I go, okay, so we're going to go get the deal done.
And he goes, your girl's already signed you up and made an account for you.
I go, okay.
I don't even know what that is.
That's great.
Okay, that sounds awesome.
He goes, okay, so I'll meet you downstairs.
Now, that is code, which I did not know at the moment, for you go down and pay, and I'll meet you at the door and then hand you the bag.
He's like a dentist.
The dentist never tells you how much it is to fix your teeth.
The Puerto Rican girl that comes in tells you how much it is to fix your teeth.
You can't say no to the Puerto Rican girl.
It's too right.
But the dentist, he's above that.
He's above money.
He's a doctor.
Doctors don't talk about him.
I'm an expert.
Exactly, right?
I don't know this.
So I'm just downstairs hanging out, waiting.
I see him by the door.
I go, hey, what's up, my man?
I walk up to the door, right?
He hands me the bag.
Thank you so much.
Really appreciate everything.
I walk right up out of my house.
I'm on the street.
Yeah.
Free or Mez bag.
When do I pay?
I asked my girl.
I was like, babe, you paid?
She goes, no, I didn't pay.
I'm like, remember that racist motherfucker?
Remember that racist motherfucker said that racist shit?
Hey, we'll be in his hand.
We're going to replace you with the store.
That's what we're going to replace.
I'm like, we are out of here.
We're going to be like, black people, we're running fast.
I'm like, yo, it is what it is.
It's karma.
This is what it is.
She says, my girl said, I'm out of here, bro.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
She gets beat tight.
I gave him your account.
We set up an account.
I go, what that means?
They have your address.
They have your name.
They have your number.
Come find me.
Part of you saying that's fine.
Part of me was saying that.
Hold on, JFK.
I'll meet you at the airport.
Part of you saying that.
But then she got in my head and she's also like, but then we'll never be able to get anything from here again.
I'm not sure.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
Everybody wins.
You get your bag to win.
So win.
That's the real reason.
That would have been a win.
I know.
It would have, right?
Student Loan Refinance00:02:54
And then fuck that racist guy.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, so we go back in and pay.
And that's the end of that story.
I like the alternate ending better.
Give me the schniddle.
Give me the schneider.
I know.
I wish I could have lied right here.
I wish I could have fucking lied in that.
Yes, we said, fuck that guy.
Walked out.
The choice is get one free Hermes bag or pay for an unknown number of bags.
That's what you got.
I have paid for an ex number of bags.
You should have rolled a dice.
I know the fuck.
We were on the streets.
This is crazy.
Sunsy.
We're on the streets.
I got the bet.
The bag is dumb big.
I'm like nervous.
We're going to get fucking robbed.
The bag is.
By a Parisian?
Fuck out of here.
Definitely not by a Parisian.
This guy's Hermes.
Everybody's afraid.
This guy had a point at Hermes actually.
By the people the Parisians have been raping for the last 200 years.
By those people.
But I was like, yo, we out of here.
But yeah, man.
You were really playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
And you said, not me.
Not me, dog.
I'm paying.
Damn.
Come on.
I know, son.
I was this close.
I was this close.
Especially the racist shit.
Like, he deserved that.
I know he did.
Yo, we wouldn't have gotten an offer for a bag, Al.
Nah, all it is is brown people in there.
All it is is brown people.
Tell me this guy was like, so fucking Saudi.
Oh, the guy was talking the whole time.
He's like, white, white.
The ones buying the bags.
It's all like, it's Indians.
It's like, it's big money, motherfuckers traveling.
Saudi oil that comes in.
They're trying to buy it.
All that shit.
And like, yeah.
And they don't even understand how things work in terms of, like, they're just used to, like, I want it.

Or they'll just buy it off of some other bitch.
It's just money means nothing to them.
International Food Culture00:15:37
Right, right.
Okay.
But like, what a what a fucked up situation, right?
Damn.
Yeah.
Shit in the bed to shit in the bed.
Yeah.
So that was Paris, guys.
All right.
You happy?
Then we spoke about it?
Yeah.
But the bread and cheese?
Pretty good.
Son of it was all right.
Yo, I'll be honest, like, Paris mid.
Yup.
Yep.
Paris mid.
The food, I was very underwhelmed.
No, food is legit.
You were underwhelmed?
I was underwhelmed.
I'm not, you like, know the spots.
He was eating that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He like knows the spots.
You know, him and his girl were researching.
I didn't do that.
I just went around and ate and like tried to not find touristy projects.
I did that same shit.
Like my Airbnb would recommend places, and they'd be cool, but it was fine.
It's cool.
Yo, Paris?
Airbnb recommends places.
The host recommends me too.
You get the discussion.
Oh, my God.
I'm glad you don't get an Hermes bag, honestly.
After that statement, hey, me too.
That means two of us.
No, but it was interesting.
Like, Paris, visually, it's beautiful.
Like, they don't have the buildings, don't get taller than six stories.
It's basically like if Soho was the size of Brooklyn, that's the way I would describe it, right?
Like, all and because remember when we were in Russia and you saw like massive buildings, but they weren't that high, but they were just so long.
Yeah, like that's kind of what happens.
If you can't build up, you got to build out.
So, you have this like consistent architecture, and it's like really beautiful, and like it just exists throughout the city.
But in terms of like seeing something that I've never seen before, it was super like it was regular.
I thought Versailles was beautiful, and I remember cap.
Wait, why?
Yo, the French, like Louis XIV, the guy who built Versailles, is like the first rapper, like the first Instagram thought.
Like, the whole thing is cap.
Like, they were super in debt.
All the money was lent to them, but their whole thing was we're gonna flex so hard that we're gonna convince everybody that we're the most wealthy, and they're gonna pay to come here just to look at our challenge, Kanye, son, Kanye, bow wow challenge, every Instagram thought, like it was all cap, like they were so in debt.
Everything, bro, when Louis XIV would walk around like the gardens and shit, they would do one fountain at a time.
They would holler at the homie at the next fountain, like, yo, he's about to be at you, run the fountain, so they didn't have to waste water because they couldn't afford to keep all the shit going.
And so, you're there, and you're like, Oh, wow, like this is a business.
And, like, literally, people would come from all around the world just to look at the guy.
They paid $500,000 to watch him.
Shit, he'd take a shit in the morning, $500,000 just to watch him.
And your girl got to watch you for free.
For free!
That's good treatment.
I paid.
No, but like, I don't know.
It's just really interesting to be there and like see that.
Like, this has been going on from the beginning of time.
The fake it till you make it is as old as human beings, bro.
It seems like you age out of it.
You know what I mean?
Like, the French are not as into the gaudy, like, ostentatious money shit now.
Oh, society ages out of it.
Yeah, there's a rejection of it, or you just find other ways to be like ostentatious and gaudy.
Yeah, or you get killed like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette soon later at that very whole tale.
How would you describe the feel of it?
Like the feel.
Yeah.
Rags.
Like mid, super mid.
I thought it was like kind of gloomy.
Like not weather-wise, but just like, what is that?
I felt it a bit gloomy.
Yeah.
It was just like everything about it.
It's dreary.
There's a there's like disorder.
It's not even a real disorder, but like one of these bullshit disorders called like uh uh Paris syndrome or something like that.
And it's basically like Chinese people come to Paris because they've been waiting their entire lives to see Paris and they've built up Paris what it is, this most magical place that's ever existed.
And they go Paris depression syndrome and they go there and they realize it's kind of mid and they just are depressed because they built this up.
Their one vacation they're ever going to take in their life.
And it's just mid.
Yeah.
And don't get me wrong, it's beautiful.
And sometimes you see these like this ancient architecture.
It looks like some shit out of fucking like the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire.
Like it's cool shit.
But at the same time, I don't know.
For me, when I travel, like being in fucking Morocco and seeing something that was so different was really cool.
That was really interesting.
Walking around a city and like seeing a bunch of like restaurants and like cafes, it's like I could do that here.
Girls are from New York.
Yeah, again, yeah, that's completely different.
I understand.
Wasn't the city planner for New York the same guy that planned or like took the blueprints from Paris or some shit?
Maybe.
Have you heard that?
I forgot where I heard that shit.
Maybe.
But like, I'm pretty sure it was like modeled after Paris or whatever.
Like that was like the first poppet city.
And then all the cities are like, yeah, let's just do the six shit.
I mean, that would make it better.
That was popular.
I mean, a lot of American cities were modeled after successful European ones.
Yeah.
But I always appreciate history when I go to Europe.
I'm like, oh, America, everything is so new.
Yeah.
In India, the old shit is either decimated or it's like so old.
It's like, all right, yeah, I'm not looking at much there.
In Paris, you're looking at like fucking air in Europe.
You're looking at like castles and like all these beautiful things that are eight, seven, eight hundred, nine hundred years old.
You're like, oh, okay.
I appreciate history as opposed to reading about it in a book where it means nothing.
Going to Rome and seeing the fucking Coliseum is 2,000 years old and this is a massive thing.
It's like, oh, this is beautiful.
And Paris does have a lot of that.
And I thought if I actually went to Paris and just did that for a couple days, I'd be like, oh, that's really fucking cool.
Because they get in and out.
They gave up on day one of World War II and didn't want Hitler to bomb it.
So I understand because he loved that place so much.
No, I guess I understand.
I don't know.
I just thought it was kind of like it was, yeah, it was kind of like mid as far as you know, a city.
Especially it's like a romantic city.
I don't think it's that.
I remember thinking Rome when I was there.
I was like, oh, this is like romantic.
You feel it.
Paris, I didn't feel that.
I didn't feel like the food was that much different.
Like, we maybe were spoiled in New York.
I guess when I go to a place, I don't need great food.
Like, Morocco wasn't good food at all.
But culturally, it was so unique.
Like, walking around that fucking shook, whatever, the shook, it was unbelievable.
It's fucking unbelievable.
Like, what is happening right now?
You know, like, and I would go there and feel like, hey, I've been here.
It's kind of Indian in nature.
Maybe, maybe, I don't know.
I just thought it was just, I don't know.
People have like memorized this like plot of land that's like the perfect recipe for a horror movie like in Morocco.
Yeah.
Like the shook.
I don't know.
So I just didn't feel that in Paris.
And I thought I was going to feel it.
I thought I was going to be there and I was going to be like blown away.
Was that your first trip?
I was there in college, but we were fucking.
So you had Paris syndrome.
I had Paris depression syndrome.
You got Paris impression syndrome.
We had a blast.
It's all about experiences.
Once you see the city, it's now like, can you turn up?
Yeah, I guess.
But it was, I don't know, it was just kind of like interesting.
You know, the world has gotten really small.
The internet has made the world.
Like, there used to be, I think, when we were younger, you go to different places.
And like, I remember when I lived in Spain, like, the style was completely different.
I went to Denmark.
The style was different.
The way they dressed was just different, right?
And like, you just felt this culture clash.
And now you go to Paris and it's like everybody's wearing the same sneakers.
Everybody got the same jeans.
Everybody got the same shirts.
Like, globalization has stopped international travel in that way.
Like, that's why I liked Russia because it was like, oh, people haven't been here.
Like, that's why I wanted to go with like a random country.
Globalization has stopped international?
It has like sort of like taken away the like the luster of international travel.
It's made things less international.
Because you go to London and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the same food.
It's the same store.
It's the pictures.
You lose the idiosyncrasies that make travel so like exciting, right?
Like seeing like, I remember, don't you remember like being in France and like seeing them wear something different?
You're like, oh, that's pretty cool.
I remember when I would go to California when I was in college.
Yeah.
New York, the way people dress here was totally different than in California.
And I'd wear some shit out there.
They're like, what the fuck is going on?
I'd be like, all right, in six months, you're going to wear this.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why I want to go to the place that is a city no one even knows.
Morocco.
Yeah, Morocco's like that.
Go to Morocco.
I'm like, Tajikistan.
What is Tajikistan, bro?
This is a bunch of rich motherfuckers.
What's going on there?
It's that oil money.
I legit don't even know what they look like.
I'm like, I want to just go and see that shit.
Yeah.
But no, I hear you on like because at least it's an authentic kind of culture.
Think about traveling internationally in like the 80s when the only frame of reference you had was if you got a fucking book about the place you got the digestion.
Lonely planet.
Yeah, that's it.
That's all it is.
You're going with a whole everything is fucking brand new.
I haven't.
This is just some shit I seen in a book.
One or two pictures here and there.
Bring home souvenirs.
Like what souvenir could you bring back from Paris?
You're like, I could get that at Hudson News.
Yeah.
Like, I remember my dad used to bring back candy from France and it'd be like, dude, we cannot, we have to order this or get someone to ship it.
Yeah.
Now you can just get it at whatever grocery store.
Dude, how about this?
The food in Morocco was a letdown for me because I've had better Moroccan food.
Think about that.
Yeah.
I've experienced the cuisine improved upon from the thing that you'll go to a restaurant there.
Like you go to in LA.
We're spoiled in New York because of that.
Yes, 100%.
And I recognize that.
And I think it'd be, I think people should still travel and like have these fucking experiences.
It's also Americanized.
Like the Americanized Indian food for my palate, I like that better probably than if I were to go to India and then have authentic Indian food.
I'd be like, yeah.
Yeah.
Like same with Chinese food.
Like, or even Japanese food.
When I was in Japan, it had like authentic, like, just like casual Japanese like under food.
I was like, yeah.
I thought that about it.
Hibachi's Italian.
I feel like I get better Italian food here than when I went over there.
It just works for you.
Yeah.
Exactly.
It's not objectively better, but my palate isn't American.
I'm like, oh, the Moroccan food was objectively better.
And the Italian food in the Northeast is fucking good.
If you talk, if you talk to like, if you, I mean, Doug's Moroccan, he'll say, like, the restaurants there just have shit food.
But if you go to someone's fucking house, someone's grandma's house, you're going to get the good stuff.
Oh, yeah.
For me.
It's like, I never go to Moroccan restaurants.
Like, my dad or someone's grandma crushes it.
Do they not have a restaurant culture?
Over there?
No.
Like, if you're Moroccan, you don't eat out.
Right?
Like, also, like, things like Acus, it takes so long.
You're not going to go to a restaurant and wait for all this shit to happen.
Like, you'll have a couple nights when you're out there, but they know what you're doing.
You're going to want it too.
Even at the Riyadh you stayed at, like, they, you actually book a dinner there because the staff is like preparing this meal for you this whole time, like you'd be in a home.
New York is only a restaurant culture.
Yeah.
Like, no one, like, you don't really cook in your apartment.
Like, your kitchens are small.
Like, you're required to go out.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's just, it was interesting to see that, man.
Like, I wonder what these kids will think when they travel.
Like, I wonder if these kids are going to do study abroad.
Like, study abroad, there was different haircuts.
Like, when I went to Spain, like, came back with a faux mullet and shit.
Like, and it was cool out there.
Yeah.
Do you remember that?
Like, that, like, kind of short up top, but they had this long thing.
And I was like, oh, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought that was weird as fuck.
And then they started doing that shit here.
And then we started.
Yeah.
And like, you saw it happen.
It was just so cool.
And now it's just so instantaneous.
And I guess that is cool because, you know, you have access to all these other things.
You get to like feel a part of something.
You know, like you don't have to, like, let's say you grow up in like the middle of the country and people thinking you're some fucking pumpkin or something like that.
Now all of a sudden you have access to all the same fashion blogs.
You know exactly what Kendall Jenner is wearing.
You can buy it on the internet and you can look just as cool as she does and you live in Columbia, Missouri.
So I guess that's cool.
You don't feel as alienated.
Also, New York is extremely transient in that way.
That like if you live in New York, like you know actual French people.
You know what I mean?
Like in Orlando, I don't really know anyone that's actually French.
And I think you're making a little bit, you're conflating fashion with the whole culture a little bit too much.
Whereas like the culture of a place is the culture of New York is incredibly different than the culture of Texas, different than Florida.
The culture of Paris is its own thing.
I remember going to Amsterdam and looking around.
Everybody's fucking riding bikes everywhere.
And just like, it's just like a different culture there than it is here.
Different set of values, a different way they live life.
That's a good point.
The things that you're doing.
And that's where you'll take.
You'll be like, oh, shit, that's really interesting.
And then just seeing like the history is cool.
But then also, I remember being in Amsterdam, fucking freaking out about uploading a clip.
And it was this beautiful day in Amsterdam.
Everybody's just riding bikes and fucking eating at restaurants.
And I'm looking at them like, oh, I'm sitting here freaking out because I'm not getting my 5G.
And these guys are just enjoying life.
And there was a moment there where I was like, oh, that's, there's a lesson there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you find that the behavior of customs were different?
Like friendliness, rudeness?
I'll be honest, the French are so happy to have us back.
Really?
Yeah.
Especially in Paris.
Yeah.
Like, their whole city is tourism.
There's no industry in their city.
When you really think about it, it's fashion.
Yeah, service.
Service, right?
Food.
That's it.
It's restaurants, cafes, food and fashion.
Hotels.
That's it.
And it's just like what Dubai is kind of doing, you know, how they're like, we're just going to make like the coolest shit to just look at.
That's kind of like what Paris did 800 years ago.
Eat the best food, look at the coolest buildings, buy the coolest fashion, enjoy.
Just indulge.
Like, that's the culture.
The culture is indulgence, right?
And like literally, here's my takeaway.
The French and the Japanese get to the same point.
They just have completely different ways of getting there.
Explain.
Love it.
The Japanese are like, I need to perfect this thing and I will kill myself to perfect it, right?
I won't even enjoy it.
I will kill myself to perfect it because the perfection of the thing is the goal and the process of perfecting is the goal.
The French are like, why would I eat something that's less than perfect?
Make it perfect so I can enjoy it the most.
I want the best cheese.
I want the best wine.
Why would I have something less?
I need to enjoy.
So the Japanese are like, I need to sacrifice for perfection.
And then the French are like, why would I sacrifice?
Yeah, one's the desire to produce, the other's like the desire to consume.
To consume and indulge.
So one is all joy-based, right?
Like, how do I make myself feel good?
And it's kind of cool because you get the best shit.
Yeah.
You know, that and the only other observation I saw is like when you're the cafes, all the chairs face out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was so cool.
Yeah, I saw that on your Instagram.
That was cool.
And it's just like, it's one, it's the most French thing.
It's like, I could judge one person across me or I could judge all of the people.
But like, it's so nice to just admit that that's what you want from a coffee, right?
Like, hey, you want to have a coffee and talk?
Not really, but I'll like judge everyone with you.
Yeah.
And it's just.
We'll talk about them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a king and this is my court.
And I'm just going to be looking at all the servants.
Yeah.
And if we build this beautiful city, might as well look at it.
Yeah.
It was, it was that.
And then the only other one I saw was when we were in Versailles and they were talking about like when they brought the essentially the monarchy moved out of Paris.
Like Louis XIV brought them to Versailles.
And I guess the reason why was because they were going to kill Louis XIV when he was like four years old.
You know, he became king at like four.
So he was like, I don't know if I fucking trust these people.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
So they move it to Versailles.
That's when, and I'm sure there's many other factors, but like that's when Paris becomes this hub for like intellectualism and like thought and like ideas.
When you remove the oppressive regime from the city, right?
It's no coincidence that like within the next few generations, you have all these great philosophers coming out of Paris because this is still this great city.
There's still all this art.
And now you got all these people like chopping up different ideas, talking, thinking about cool things.
Like, what is human rights?
And they're free to do so.
And they're a little bit more, a little bit more free to do so, right?
The monarchy's five hours away.
Do I really want to go five hours to yell at this writer?
Versailles City History00:11:23
Yeah.
Let it happen.
It's interesting how like one little thing could shift culture.
Shift history.
History, really.
Yeah.
Like that's all the French come up with the ideas and Americans execute them.
That's what I realized.
The French are like, humans should have rights.
And then the French are like, yes, they should.
And then they're like, but we won't do that.
Let's do much work to do it.
And then Americans go, I bet.
They're an ideas guy.
They're an ideas guy.
Yeah.
Figure it out.
Do human rights.
Okay?
That's all I say.
Job is the American and you're the French.
That's it.
I'm fucking Steve Jobs.
Figure it out.
What's the access?
You need a Jew to figure out your shit.
Yeah.
But this is an interesting thing as far as cities go.
Because Paris was one of the first great cities.
Like, they had the first streetlights.
They have all this amazing shit and no one had ever seen it before in that way.
Like population density without disease.
Like people are actually living in this place.
And then places like New York come around.
Crazy disease, though.
Yeah, back in the day, especially.
They didn't even wash.
Louis XIV never showered.
Still don't.
And their whole diet is mold.
Yeah.
It's just mold.
Cheese is mold, right?
Wine is fucking fermentation.
All they eat is mold.
I wonder if it gives them some bacteria resistance.
You know what I mean?
Like their gut floor, like bread and yeast and shit.
Bread is yeast.
I'm not trying to defend not showering.
It must, bro.
They're immune.
Bro, you know what they would do?
They wipe because back in the day, they took like one of those things.
Monica?
No, no, no.
Scientists look into stuff.
You see it.
What's it?
Microscope.
Yeah, they look into water and microscopes and they saw all this like bacteria and shit in the water.
So they were fucking terrified.
Right.
So they're like, all right, we're not drinking water.
And back in the day, you can like fucking die from water and stuff like that.
So they just wouldn't shower.
They would wash themselves with wine.
Amari Stadamire.
That's where you got the idea.
Is that what he did?
Didn't he take a bath in wine when that the big picture you put on IG?
Maybe they would just drink beer, a version of beer.
That was what they had instead of water.
It was like this like lighter version of beer.
It was like a fermented fucking water and have some like tea because it was boiled.
And then I was like, didn't it fucking stink?
And the woman that was telling us said this, she was like, when everyone says, nobody says, yeah.
But that was just everyone's.
That was back in the day.
But I interrupted.
But so basically, like, you have this amazing city, and then New York comes around and then becomes the new center of the world, becomes like the new amazing city.
And then you're kind of unimpressed by Paris.
You're just like, New York has better things, it's more beautiful, like it's more functional.
What is the next iteration of that?
Ah, okay, you're saying across multiple 3.0.
Yeah, what's the city in like 50 to 100 years that makes New York like it's fine, but there's a lot of issues.
Orlando, probably.
You know what's tricky, I think, about this?
Is like globalization makes this tricky is because all the cities will be replicas, right?
And there's nothing wrong with a replica at all.
No, but like what was so great and unique about Paris and New York and all these cities is that like they were built around the cultures that existed there.
So it was this influence from the Dutch, there was influence from the English, there was influence from the French, there's all these different influences and creates this like cool melting pot of a city, right?
And now any new city that's brought up is almost like too calculated.
Like you're looking at, I look at all these old things and I go, why did we ever stop making that?
Like anytime we go into a theater, we were at the Orpheum and I was like, why did they stop making theaters like this?
It's probably inefficient.
It's too costly.
But you look at the detail on a building.
Like I was, I was looking at one of the buildings in the square.
I forget the Palace de Vosges or something like that.
And like, there was a line of faces that were like carved out of the same block or brick or whatever.
It was probably limestone or something like that.
Each face had a different expression.
Can you imagine saying that to some fucking Italian contractor now?
Like, this one has to be sad.
This one has to be happy.
They're like, what do you tell?
We just make it windows.
It's just all windows.
There's no life in it anymore.
It's too expensive.
Culture is too expensive.
So I don't know where that pops up.
I don't know.
There's an assumption like the future city.
You think it'll be things that look like Dubai, but it might be with things like the Hyperloop where we all come to work in the city, but our life is Mark lives in the woods.
I live on the sea.
Someone lives in the desert.
And because it's so efficient and so fast to travel every day, boom.
Come in there, do your job, get back to your possibility.
I also think that even the younger generations are craving authenticity, like big time because everything is so fabricated, like even like Chifty's generation, especially.
I think that they're, you know, just like this, I'm going to wear sneakers that are fucked up, or I'm going to have like a vintage this is cool.
Like I'm going to go back to these like old celebrities, like Paris Hilton is coming back.
Like, not saying she's authentic, but like to them, it appears that way, right?
And it's like, I think that we always crave something authentic.
So like, I don't know when the next great city is, but I know that there's a reason why people are going to Portugal all of a sudden.
It's like, what is undiscovered?
What is still authentic and what's a unique experience, but that hasn't been tainted is the wrong word, but hasn't been tainted by international travel.
Because once we all go, they're just going to make it the most digestible for us, like Indian cuisine in America, because it's most profitable.
But before we go, they try to appease themselves.
And when you just appease the people there, you create this cool, unique culture that we like to be voyeurs in.
Right.
So.
Yeah, I feel like South America probably still has a lot of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You go to like Lima or like somewhere else in Peru.
Like, oh, yeah.
It hasn't been as touched, but I don't know.
I've never been.
I would assume the Middle East.
Austin, Texas isn't the next.
There's a, yeah, I don't know.
It's something I'm thinking about.
I mean, we spoke about it on Rogan.
I don't know if we ever spoke about Flagrant, but like, you know, I want to do a European tour this summer.
And what?
Shut up.
What?
Surprising.
What?
Yeah, why don't we do it?
I spoke about Rogan.
It's the biggest platform already.
But yeah, like, and I want to do like a European tour the summer, but I want to like spend, you know, like six weeks out there in Europe and like tour on the weekends and then do the pods on the week and like find a home base for the pod.
Right.
Right.
And I was thinking Italy might be a cool one.
And I'm hoping that we could get some of that like real raw, authentic experience.
I don't want to go to a city and I go, ah, I'm just in a version of New York.
Right.
I want to go to a city where I'm like, oh, this is fucking awesome.
I'm lost.
I want to just walk the streets.
But you got to assimilate, though.
Yeah.
You got to dress like it.
You got to go full, like a little fedora thing.
Hell yeah.
You got to go full Italian if you want to preserve your culture.
Yes.
That is true.
I cannot fight it.
But yeah, so I don't know.
I think that's very important.
That home base that we pick, I think it's got to be one of those experiences that feels like authentic and feels like, yeah, special.
I would love it.
Yeah.
What are you guys' thoughts on that?
I like it.
Al's kind of excited.
You're coming around a little bit.
Yeah, I'm coming around.
All right, good.
I love Italy.
Are you sure you're coming around?
John, suck my damn.
No!
Fighting Warriors!
Okay, you guys don't.
I didn't know that.
That black people, that's like fighting words.
Yeah, but if you say it's a white, then it's like, oh, we're just playing around.
That's a punchline.
Mark, what do you think about that?
Yeah, it'd be great.
It'd be fun.
Yeah.
So what city?
Flagrant 2.
What city?
Where should we go?
We want to redo Miami, but you know what feels authentic, but I didn't like it?
Come Venice.
Venice is spectacular when all the tourists are asleep at 9 o'clock.
I thought Venetians were kind of assholes, but maybe I'm wrong.
They actually are.
They're the Italians that would be okay to split from Italy.
They're Venetian first, then Italian.
Like Barcelona, like the Catalans.
But doesn't this city smell?
Nah.
Venice.
I think Venice and Paris are the two prettiest cities.
We live in New York.
Yeah, but we have a beautiful stink.
It's so poetic.
I guarantee you, Rockaway Beach don't smell better than Venice.
Nah, it definitely does.
Definitely.
I don't know.
Venice, maybe, I guess we go.
I would love to do Barcelona.
I've just already lived there, but it's just such a great city.
And I also heard that Barcelona got kind of rough recently.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's cultured, huh?
That's culture.
Let's go.
I like Portugal.
I like.
Portugal's a vibe.
Tajikistan.
I still just stand by that.
You guys always talk about Copenhagen.
Nah, too cold.
Talk about like Dubai.
Sweden and all them.
It's just hard to travel.
Shut up.
Dubai.
Dubai.
It's just hard to travel.
My feeling about like it needs to be close enough where we're like in a couple hours in a city.
Like Switzerland, Sweden, one of them.
Yeah, Switzerland.
Maybe not Sweden.
But Switzerland's actually interesting.
Sweden.
The Swiss, though.
Yeah, maybe not.
What's wrong with the Swiss?
My bad.
There's so many versions.
We're not doing Sweden.
No, Geneva is great.
What about Amsterdam?
Is that weird?
Amsterdam is fire, dog.
Amsterdam is really dumb.
I fucking love it.
Why are you saying no?
I mean, I just, well, not the red light district.
Like, that area.
That shit is disgusting.
No, that's right.
You go there to go there.
I don't like places where there's some American tourists.
Yeah.
Very used to it there.
Portugal still is a vibe.
I think Italy would be a vibe, bro.
I really think Italy would be a lot of people.
What's the Atlanta?
Florence is my favorite city.
What's the Atlanta of Europe?
Yeah.
Like, what city has got the most black people?
That's where I want to go.
London.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
London.
And Paris, maybe.
Paris.
Really?
There's a lot of people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Too many.
They're replacing us.
They're replacing us.
Come on.
You guys wouldn't want to do London.
I love London.
I'll do it.
London just is easy to do.
London is New York.
It's just a little bit cleaner.
That's what I want to do.
And people are a little bit nicer.
And it shuts down a little bit earlier.
But other than that, it's New York.
London would be the smartest decision.
I would live in London, dude.
Yeah, it's like London would be the smartest decision because it would be like we could build like a we could build something right there.
We already have something there.
People know who we are, people listening to podcasts.
But like in the same way, we went to Miami and we could really build.
We could do local shows there.
We could really kind of like make stuff happen.
And obviously the language is not a barrier there.
Like I don't think we're building a comedy scene in fucking Italy, but we could really like be a part of that comedy scene that exists in London right now and helped, you know, bring awareness, whatever you do.
That would be the best financial decision, but I don't know if it's, it's the, for me, like I still want to take advantage of these years specifically when we could travel and like have you know these culturally immersive experiences.
Like I want to go somewhere where it's like, what the fuck is happening?
Yeah.
We're on a fucking hillside randomly driving some car, going to a vineyard, trying fucking wines.
Like that's like, let's let's enjoy this part of life, man.
We have a few more years left.
Italy, dog.
Maybe it's Italy.
Portugal, I think, could be lit.
Portugal.
We need Europeans to weigh in.
Yes, Europeans, let us know.
Okay.
Let us know what's going on.
Thank you, P-Brit.
Take a break.
Let's do it.
All right, guys.
We're going to take a break for a second because I need to tell you about the best water on the planet right now.
This is the best water, the barter that you're going to drink, the water you're going to enjoy, and it's not even a question, and it is liquid death, okay?
It is my favorite water on the planet.
And I know this sounds shocking, but it comes in a fucking can.
MMA Punching Styles00:14:07
Yes, it comes in a can, okay?
I can give you all the specs about how delicious it is, and it's from the Alps over here, and it's the most amazing, clean, freshest water on the planet, yada, yada, yada.
How about I just tell you it's the most delicious water I've ever had, and it's the only one I drink.
And it's going to stop you from being dehydrated because once you crack that can, you finish that motherfucking can.
Also, if you're one of these people that doesn't like to drink and you feel uncomfortable because you're at a party and everybody there is drinking, they're trying to hand you a drink, the liquid death can looks like a modello.
It looks like a beer.
Nobody's going to bother you.
You get to fit right in with all these drinking degenerates and enjoy a nice hydrating beverage of the tastiest water on the fucking planet.
We're going to help you get it.
We're going to help you get it, matter of fact, at a discount.

So that's liquiddeath.com slash flagrant or grab them at Whole Foods and 7-Eleven.
Now let's get back to this.
And let's talk about it.
We're just talking about before.
We had a little technical difficulty, but Jake Paul is now the biggest opponent in boxing.
I don't care what anybody says.
I just need you to ask yourself where you can make more money in boxing.
Just ask yourself where you can make more money in boxing.
I know I was saying this before.
I said, Canelo's biggest money fight is going to be against Jake Paul.
Most people listening right now, if you're not a boxing fan, you have no clue what weight division Canelo fights in.
You can't name a person Canelo would even fight.
You don't know other people at 168 pounds.
You don't know other people 175 pounds.
You don't know anybody else at 160.
The only person you could probably say at like 160 or 168 might be Oscar DeLaoya coming back to fight Vitor Belfort.
Boxing, in terms of casual fans being interested in actually knowing fighters, I hate to say this.
It fucking pains me, but it's fucking dead.
It's a shame to say, but the average casual, the guy who's coming up, the guy who saw on an undercard and was exciting, no longer exists.
We're naming guys.
I don't think most people can name a boxer under 30.
Name a boxer under 30 that wasn't on the Jake Paul card.
Logan Paul.
Ryan Garcia.
Tommy Gury.
Ryan Garcia.
Oh, yeah.
Ryan Garcia.
There you go.
Ryan Garcia.
Now, another guy who came up, YouTuber, or really, he wasn't a YouTuber, but he really is on social media.
He'd started talking about the other people.
Dravante under 30?
Dravante is under 30.
But Javante, and great call.
But Jervante is too small to fight a Canel.
Yeah.
Right?
So Canelo's biggest payday before this fight.
I was like, there's no way.
There's no way.
Why would a Conor McGregor fight a Jake Paul?
Why would you even do that?
Why would a Canelo fight a Jake Paul?
Why would you even do that?
Well, now you do it to make money, and now it doesn't seem that crazy.
Matter of fact, I know it.
I know you're saying it's not crazy.
It is.
You can't name another person in Canelo's division.
We just recorded this before you fucked up the video.
You sat there stuttering for two minutes.
I did because I needed to have the Googles.
Exactly.
Now you Google.
But the fact is, most people cannot name another person.
To me, it's very basic.
To get a lot of money, you need casual people to get interested.
Casual people don't know most boxers.
They know the Paul brothers.
Whether you like him or hate him, they know him.
I will pay to see him lose or I'll pay to see him win, but I will pay either way as a casual.
It doesn't matter.
And right now, there is an all-time high in terms of wanting to see Jake Paul get beaten.
There's a moment in the fight.
I don't know if you guys experienced this.
I don't know how you guys watch the fight.
And I'm just going to have an honest reaction.
Yes.
I'm ruined for this kid, Jake, bro.
I'm ruined for this kid, Jake.
The kid is 24 years old.
He has the entire United States, parts of the world watching him.
And he did that on his own with his team, but he did that.
He garnered this level of attention.
Started boxing three years ago.
This motherfucker's been boxing their whole life.
They can't get 15 people to show up to a fucking Hilton to watch them box.
Right?
They can't get a local card.
They can't get their family to come see them.
They can't get 15 cousins to show up to see him.
Right?
There are comics right now probably hating on Jake Paul.
You can't get 30 people in Houston to a show.
Saturday night's busy.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you're a Houston, like, that's close.
He did on a Sunday.
You know what I'm saying?
He did that show the Lord's Day.
Yeah.
Okay.
In a fucking arena.
So let's put some shit in perspective.
The guy knows how to get eyeballs, knows how to get people to watch it.
Give him that.
Regardless if you like him or hate him.
Right now, there's an all-time high for wanting to see him get beat.
I don't know if you guys are watching, but when you watch, if you did, and everybody at home, think about this as well.
When Tyron Woodley lands the right hand that rocks Jake.
Yeah.
Motherfuckers got excited.
Yeah.
Okay.
My girl's off the couch.
Okay.
I'm off the couch.
Dove's off the couch.
We're going, what the fuck is about to happen?
I'm ruined for Jake.
I'm ruining for Jake.
And I see Tyron Land and I'm like, oh, shit.
This would be really interesting if the kid who talks all the shit ends up getting clipped in his hometown gets put down.
When Tyron didn't take advantage.
But the fact that he had him stunned and then later gets stunned in the round and then the next round comes out, barely even throws any punches.
What did I say?
I said, Jake, knock this bum out.
Knock this bum out.
He had him.
And he was afraid.
He was afraid to try to finish that fight.
And you got to give Jake credit for trying to fish him.
Connor, I'm sorry, the biggest money fight Connor has.
If Khabib's not coming out, Jake.
And I don't even think that Connor beats Jake.
I don't understand why it's offensive.
You're not saying he's the best boxer in the world.
He's not even close.
He's saying he's the guy that would make the most money.
But that's not accurate.
Who?
Canelo made 15 mil his last fight.
Connor made $700,000 versus Askron.
Connor made?
I'm sorry.
Paul Brother.
Paul Paul.
Made $700,000.
But what did he make this fight?
Canelo made $15 million.
He made more after that.
With Dazone, he made $25,000 to $35,000 from the Saunders fight.
Who?
Canelo.
He made $700,000 guaranteed versus one came in on the pay-per-view.
Yeah, that's what I think.
And Canelo took a piece of the pay-per-view also.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Canelo has a guaranteed deal with the zone, right?
Where they paid him up front.
I think they renegotiated that contract, but it was like, you're guaranteed $300 million.
So I think that what he makes in those pay-per-views gets chipped away from that amount of money.
Okay.
And he's not saying Canelo, Jake Paul will make more than Canelo.
He's saying whoever Canelo fights, whoever he fought to make 15 million, if he fights Jake Paul, he probably can make more than 15 million.
Way more.
We'll buy.
50 million, 75 million.
It's like right now, people want to see him get knocked out.
And I'll be honest with you, Canelo fucks him up.
Canelo fucks him up easy.
It's different.
It's different.
But what Jake Paul and his team have exposed, and this is the brilliance of him and his team, is we overrated MMA boxing.
Yeah.
If they knew this, we thought, okay, these guys, these guys are savages.
They fuck anybody up in a street fight.
They will destroy people.
But the skill set that is striking in MMA does not translate to pure striking in boxing.
That's true.
And I've been thinking about why.
And I think the reason is: one, your balance is completely different.
But I think a big component about it is in MMA, there is no take a punch to land a punch.
In boxing, you've got these gloves on.
You could probably take a shot if it means you're going to land a big one.
You probably walk into a couple jabs.
In MMA, if someone lands flush, you're going down.
So you train yourself when you're doing striking.
You train yourself to get hit and then not get any contact.
Land one punch, grab him up, throw him to the ground.
In boxing, that's not the case.
In boxing, I'm trying to set you up.
Maybe I'll throw a couple light ones, hit you hard, light back to the body.
There were times where I saw Jake Paul throwing like three four-punch combinations.
Tyron was one punch at a time the whole time because in an MMA fight, that's all he needs.
He needs one punch to sit your ass down.
In his career, he won five UFC championships off of one punch.
And to be fair to Tyron, if there wasn't ropes, he might have got Jake Paul with that one punch.
Yeah, and some people might have given him what's called a standing eight count, like when it looks like you're dropped, but the ropes save you.
And then some people might have given that point, but he got washed the whole fight.
I mean, it was ridiculous when he held his hands up.
And also, how different are the point structures?
Like, is he thinking about points?
Like, is Tyron in there boxing thinking about MMA points?
Well, he's absolutely delusional.
Like, when he raised his hands, you can tell.
He attended that.
Like, when he put his hands in the air, that was the single least self-aware moment in the history of recorded television.
When I saw him go like this after, I didn't even know.
I thought, I had no, are you stretching?
Like, what could you possibly possibly raise in your hands in the air?
It's what every fight.
It's what everybody is.
Is that just him asserting confidence?
Like, yo, I got that shit even though you didn't.
Bro, one round.
Yeah, tops, maybe, yeah, tops one round.
You got to do that because it's in the judge's hands.
So it's like, you have to, you have to look confident.
You had to pretend.
I thought he knew.
I was like, this is my fucking nose.
No, he didn't.
At the end, when he was talking, like, we got to run that back, buh, bub, but I was like, what are you doing?
Yo, you know what's so annoying about the run it back thing?
Like, they made a deal on a deal that already existed.
What do you mean?
If you get the tattoo, we'll have a rematch.
No, the deal was if you lose, you get the tattoo.
Well, Jake got spun.
He got spun out, Jake got spins because he knew that Tyron was never going to get the tattoo.
Yeah.
So then he's like, oh, here's an option where you're really going to get it.
Yeah.
But fuck that.
And I don't even care if he doesn't get the tattoo.
I don't need to see that fight again.
You had the opportunity.
I think Logan said it best.
It was like, yo, you had the shot.
Yeah.
You had the shot to come in here and risk it.
You didn't risk it.
This would happen also in the MMA career.
It seems like I'm upset at Tyron.
I am a little.
I am a little.
It might seem this way.
It's because I am.
It is.
If you felt that you're right.
It's see.
I mean, like, listen, he, this kid played you.
They knew it.
They fucking knew it.
And I think it's one of those things where it's like, we kind of got to look at UFC or not UFC, but MMA hands and MMA punching power is different than boxing punching power.
Very different.
Is it like tennis and like racquetball or some shit like that?
Where it's like, yeah, on the surface, they seem very similar, but they're really not.
It's probably more like football and rugby.
Okay.
Now, is it a testament to the athletes or is it a testament to how the training is done?
Just training.
I think it's just the way the fight works.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's just training.
I mean, there's an argument to be made.
You might get better athletes in MMA now.
Right.
But it's just the training.
And I really think it comes down to I can't get caught.
Yeah.
I cannot get caught.
Counter punching and boxing is pretty effective.
In MMA, it's so risky.
It's super risky.
There are people who do it.
I mean, like Tyron made his bones counterpunch it.
Like he would slip a jab and then he'd come over with that like big right hand and just drop people, right?
But like MMA, you can connect big, grab somebody, get them to the ground while they're stunned, keep punning.
Boxing is create some distance.
And Tyron didn't know what to do.
He had him hurt.
Keep swinging.
You see a second where he lands that big punch and then he legit flat and he steps back.
Do you think these MMA guys are underestimating what boxing requires or you think they just don't have enough time to train to get to that level?
I think that they are underestimating how effective a reach advantage and a weight advantage can be in a sport that they're not comfortable doing.
You can mitigate reach and somewhat weight with really good wrestling.
Yeah, if you get him in the clinch, like that's it.
I'm in the clinch.
I'm inside.
To be able to be like a really good inside boxer takes fucking decades.
So now you're just hoping you land hard.
Also, you're getting tired because you're not used to throwing this many punches.
So now you're exhausted.
Now you're going to knock a guy out with limited power in the eighth round?
Not happening.
I think the difference, and you spoke to it earlier, is that they've been training so many years in MMA, they're not used to having to throw so many punches because he didn't use a jab.
He didn't really counter it as much.
There was no combination.
Dude, his whole crouch looked off.
Like that was an MMA low-assist.
Yeah, so it's like the way he's fighting.
He wasn't going about that to win on points.
He was going about that.
Hey, I just got to get the knockout.
That's it.
I'll be honest.
Once he hurt, go, go, finish.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying that's the reason why these MMA guys who are trying to go into boxing, because once you get tagged or once you get a little tired, then you revert back to all those years of training.
So even though you might have been training the last three months, boxing is like, you revert back in that ring to the MMA style.
Anytime you're in trouble, you go back to what you're used to.
And that's why you saw he wasn't throwing.
He wasn't throwing.
And it's like, he was in there trying to survive.
And I'll be honest with you.
And this was my concern.
When he hurt Jake and he didn't drop him, but he dropped him into the ropes.
That was enough for him.
I looked in his eye.
I looked at him and I looked at his posture.
I looked at the way he fought and I was like, oh, he thinks he did enough.
He got some moral victory.
He caught him.
He clipped him.
That was a knockdown.
Like, it was enough for the bravado, but it wasn't enough to win the fight.
And he didn't press the fucking action.
That kind of bothered me when he lost.
All the fucking commentators being like, hey, he's got nothing to be embarrassed by.
He proved he could go eight rounds.
You proved you could go eight rounds with Jake Paul?
This is what you set out to do as a UFC Hall of Famer?
Tour Ticket Rules00:03:56
You prove I can go the distance?
What are you fucking rocking?
You a fucking kid from the projects in Philly?
What the fuck are you talking about?
How did it all flip?
Like, Jake is supposed to be the extreme underguard.
You started boxing three years ago.
It was pure cat from these motherfuckers.
It was unbelievable.
Even the way the ESPN reported it, because obviously ESPN got the UFC deal, they go, this was the headline.
Jake Paul fails to register a KO in his fourth bout, wins by split decision.
Yeah.
I've never seen a headline.
The first thing you say is fails.
I've never seen a headline from ESPN where it didn't lead with just who won.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
Important news about the infamous tour.
Man, thank y'all so much for coming out to all these shows.
It's been crazy, but this is very important news.
If you're planning on coming, you already have tickets, et cetera.
I want to give you some like vaccine mandate information for the different places.
Obviously, the different shows are taking place in different states.
Different states have different rules.
So I'm just going to read some things out right here.
This week, we're going to be in Oklahoma City.
For Oklahoma City, there's no proof of vaccs or negative tests required.
Just know that.
The next show after that is Detroit.
Detroit has no proof of vaccs or negative tests required.
The next show is Milwaukee.
They require proof of vaccs or negative test.
Okay.
They will have on-site testing available.
Now they probably sent out a reminder email about all these types of things, but make sure.
And if you want things to go quicker, obviously you don't want to get vaccinated or you haven't been vaccinated.
You can just go get your negative test beforehand and make sure you show that.
San Diego, no proof of vax or negative test required.
And Austin, for the special tapings, this is very important.
They do require proof of vaccs or negative tests to enter.
Now, they will set up testing for people who forgot their vax card.
Maybe you're flying in from another country.
Maybe you're flying in from another fucking city.
These kinds of emergency scenarios, we want to make sure that you can get tested.
What I would recommend is getting tested before.
You don't want to be sitting outside waiting for your test results to come in when you could be in for the special.
Also, we're recording a special, so you got to be there early.
It's not like you can walk in halfway through, okay?
You got to be on time.
So I would recommend getting the test beforehand or if you're vaccinated or whatever you want to do, make sure you do that.
It's your life.
Fucking make your own decisions.
I'm not going to tell you what to do.
That being said, if for emergency circumstances, we will set up a testing system so people can do it.
I just wouldn't rely on that for you.
I would go get your own so you can be there on time.
But yo, thank you guys so much for buying all these tickets to the shows and everything.
It's absolutely crazy.
I think we'll have an announcement coming pretty soon, which is exciting.
But we will see you guys at these shows.
Go get them.
Any tickets are left.
There's maybe a few tickets left in a couple of the cities.
Go get them right now.
I'm telling you, the earlier you get them, the better.
Theandrewschultz.com.
We got a bunch more cities.
We add another show, Chicago, add another show in San Francisco, add another show in DC.
The Las Vegas shows almost sold out, man.
Philadelphia is sold out.
Just go get these tickets immediately.
Don't wait too long.

And guys, if you're in the New York area, you have a podcast, or you want a place where you can have photography done, head over to my studio.
Floyd Fight Analysis00:14:04
It's WTFmediastudios.com.
It's here in Soho, New York.
We also do consulting.
And that's it.
WTF Mediastudios.com.
And let's get back to the show.
All you leaders, Jake Paul wins by split decision.
Not fails to register.
Like he has to KO.
Why do you give a fuck if he KOs or not?
That's crazy.
I'll tell you why, because you got a deal.
And it's a thorn in the fucking side of the UFC.
And I don't, I think because if I say, what happens is this.
Right now, we all believe that UFC fighters are the baddest motherfuckers on the planet.
These are the savages.
These are the animals.
Yeah, Tyson Fury's cool, but I bet you Nick Diaz or Nate Diaz, if it was a street fight, would tap that motherfucker out in the baddest motherfucker.
Like, that's the belt.
That is it.
The baddest motherfucker belt, right?
Of course, when you saw Jorge Mazvadal and Nate fight for it, but like, these are the ultimate fighters, literally, right?
The ultimate fighters, right?
When you see them getting pieced up by Disney stars, that's bad for the brand.
When you see them, five-time UFC champions that are known for striking, afraid to contact exchange with a Disney star.
That's bad for the brand.
Okay?
Now, this is not to belittle Jake.
He's a motherfucker who got some pop and he fought a smart fight and he knows what the fuck he's doing.
But it's bad for the UFC brand.
Bad to the point where I'm almost like Dana might want to release one of these guys, not release, but allow one of these fighters.
Because remember, anybody signed to the UFC cannot fight a Paul brother unless Dana says it's okay.
Even if they're retired, George St. Pierre can't fight without Dana's blessing because he's still under contract.
That's why he couldn't fight Oscar De La Hoya.
Oh, I didn't know that.
So he got them signed.
I mean, he got them on a deal.
So I wonder for the brand, if you just let one of the bad boys out there, if you let a Jorge Masvedol, someone with fucking hands, yo, go take care of this little problem for me.
If you let Nate Diaz go, yo, take care of this little problem.
That's the only way.
You can't risk that.
Say what?
You can't risk that because what if one of your big dogs fucking goes down to him?
And they might.
So that's why you can't risk that.
He's playing it.
He's playing it the way he's supposed to play.
But he's going to keep on driving that fucking thorn into his side.
Jake is going to keep on saying now.
Jake has a legit win.
I mean, Ben Askren was an incredibly effective fighter.
But everyone knew he's not striking.
He was exactly.
His hands were, he was doughy.
His hands were soft.
Like nothing about him.
As a boxer, nothing about him looked like a fire.
He looked like an athlete.
Yeah.
Tyron looked like a chisel.
And he is an athlete.
And he was a puncher.
And an elite UFC striker just gets demolished by a Disney star.
I'll repeat that.
An elite UFC striker gets demolished by a Disney star.
Bad for the fucking brand.
Yeah, I didn't think he, I didn't know he was considered an elite strike.
That's his biggest payday ever.
And then an elite UFC striker gets his biggest payday ever and gets demolished by a Disney star.
Yeah.
I mean, just pieced up.
I didn't think he was going to win.
I didn't know he was considered elite.
And I was just thinking, like, this is an MMA guy.
He hasn't trained in boxing.
Think what you will about fighting.
It's different.
But, and I found myself, I was rooting for Woodley for the fight.
But at the end of the fight, after Jake Paul won, I was like, yo, why do we hate this guy?
And we should all appreciate this moment.
Like, we all think about, I'm sure back in the day, like, celebrity boxing be kind of cool, just seeing these guys beat the shit out of each other.
But none of them can fight.
Now you got a celebrity who can fight and is taking out, granted, it's not their sport, but he's taking out MMA guys in a fight sport.
This is kind of fucking cool because I don't think Jake Paul has that many wins left in him.
I think as he steps up, this fight proved to me like, I think a real boxer, I think, I think they're fucking.
But this is the genius of this fight.
Now he has one more fight to make the 100 miles and it's over.
Now, he claims he made 100 mil in this fight.
I don't know if that's true, but he said, I'm 10% closer to being a billionaire now.
That means 100 million, right?
10% of a billion, 100 million.
Maybe he may have made it in.
I'm not really trying to count pockets.
He definitely made a lot of fucking money.
There's no question, right?
Got the lion's share of that pay-per-view, paid everybody out lovely.
That being said, he, by taking this risk, and it was a risk to fight Woodley, they knew it wasn't that big a risk because they've been sparring all these guys.
They've been bringing in the MMA guys.
He's been in the gym fighting with these guys, going, wow, that's actually not that tough to fight them.
And then fighting with real boxers and going, oh, this is a different game.
Yeah, he took Mike Perry.
You remember that?
Like, he was sparring with Mike Perry and he was like, oh, I see what we're dealing with.
I know a guy, a guy that I train with in Miami is one of his coaches slash sparring partners.
I think their coach sparring partner, Jake Boswick.
He was a bare knuckle guy.
And this guy was a fucking savage, dude.
I remember just being in the ring with him, like going, man, if you were coming at me with gloves on, even.
I'm not having fun.
It would be a horrible day.
Just solid, rock fucking solid.
So if Jake's in there banging away with that guy and he's banging away with these top guys, he's banging away with guys that are legit boxers.
And then he's getting there with these MMA guys and going, this is a lot easier.
When he called out Kumaru, he knew something.
I thought it was all cap.
I thought it was like, yo, let me just call out the biggest guy.
No, he knows in a straight hands boxing match, he might have an advantage on Kumar.
Now, if it's a MMA fight, forget it.
You're looking at an absolute fucking sack.
Yo, they'll break his limbs.
Ben asked him to break his limbs.
It don't matter.
Like Askin said, I could commit a homicide if I wanted.
And Jake is aware of that.
I don't think he'd ever say, nah, these motherfuckers couldn't get me.
But in the boxing ring specifically, you see the limited tools.
You saw it happen to Connor against Floyd.
Now, Floyd's the greatest ever.
Connor's got one hand.
Tyron has one hand.
And it wasn't even close.
Like I told you, my mind, I was like, oh, it'll be close.
It wasn't even close.
It wasn't even close.
You also got to give Jake credit.
Again, I'm rooting for Woodley when I'm watching.
That fucking fourth round shot.
Jake came back from that.
He ate that and he kept boxing.
He lays over this kid, dog.
This kid worth eight, nine figures, whatever the fuck it is.
And he takes that shot.
Nothing really, no financial gain on the line.
And he's like, nah, let's go.
Let's keep boxing.
Yeah.
And I also think a lot of credit's got to go to like his team.
Like Jake's trainers and shit.
Yeah, DJ Flores, like all those guys.
Julian Love, like all those guys.
Like I think, I almost think their future is like, oh, yeah, I took Jake Paul and made him a star.
They could train anyone.
I feel like people would be wanting to get on that team because they're like, yo, you took a Disney kid and made him into this.
Even if it was Jake Paul's work ethic and everything else, like for them, it looks great.
And then on top of that, the fact that they knew the fighters to go for it.
Yeah.
Like that requires a lot of confidence.
Yeah, that's savvy, dude.
You can't, the kid might act like he's not the brightest or whatever, but he's not dumb.
He's sharp.
And the team, too, like that they can look at Tyron and go, oh yeah, this guy's got hands.
He has the resume, but he's not going to go for it and let go in the final rounds and you could actually take it.
Like to know that ahead of time is like crazy fight IQ.
Yeah.
No, they know what they're doing.
And give a credit to him because I don't know anybody that's BJ has trained outside of Jake.
BJ Flores is his head trainer.
So I don't know.
I knew he was a boxer back in the day, but I don't know else he's trained.
To just understand that, to see these guys in the gym and like see the sparring and expose that weakness in MMA is impressive.
And I'm telling you, the biggest payday, he's the biggest opponent in boxing.
Opponent.
Are you taking Floyd out of that?
Floyd's retired, in my opinion.
Okay.
And But if he comes back for like a money fight with someone, like whether it's Logan or whether it's Canelo, whoever it is, would that be a bigger payday?
Way bigger.
But I don't look at Floyd as an opponent.
Floyd is the boxer.
Floyd is the name.
Jake is the opponent.
Like Canelo's the name.
Jake is the opponent.
That's why he said Canelo's biggest opponent is to be opponent in boxing.
Okay, that's right.
Right.
So if you look at like the real, quote-unquote, real boxers of real boxer now, but look at the legacy boxers, the guys who exist right now.
Champions.
The champions that are out there, their biggest opponent is not someone else in their division.
Some Cuban guy who you guys can't even pronounce his fucking name, but it's going to be Jake Paul.
And it doesn't matter who it is.
Fucking Keith Thurman, your biggest payday?
Jake Paul.
Tiofima Lopez.
Your biggest payday?
Jake Paul.
Like, it don't matter who it is.
Jamante Davis, your biggest payday?
Jake Paul.
I get it.
I get it.
Does that make sense now?
Okay.
So it's like all those guys could fight each other and make less money if they fought Jake.
And Jake put himself in that position with this win over Tyrant.
And that's why Connor, who wouldn't even mention his name, is all of a sudden going salivating.
And of course he'd like a boxing match because I know you don't want to do any kicking anytime soon.
The best thing that Connor could have for his comeback is to go fuck up Jake Paul and make $100 million in the process.
But I'll tell you one thing, it ain't going to be easy.
It ain't going to be easy.
I'm not positive.
I think I would have bet Jake this fight.
I think I would bet Connor if they fought, but I wouldn't be super confident in it.
Look, Connor had power at 145.
Comes up to 155?
Nope.
Not him really have power.
Nope.
170, no power, just speed.
190, what do you have?
Yeah.
What do you have at 5'7 ⁇ , 190 going up against a guy who's six feet, legit power, range?
Yeah, I didn't even, yeah, way Connor.
Easily.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm almost like, I don't know if Connor takes that fight.
Like, legacy-wise, he's like, all right, I just lost to Dustin.
Do I really want to.
I mean, it's just how much is 150 mil to me now.
He made 180 last year.
Do you want another 150?
And also, if you're Dana, it's like, do I want my cash cow to get concussed by a Disney star?
It's the worst.
So after this, I'm like, I don't know if we even see that fight.
Of course.
I mean, of course not.
Maybe to Al's point, it's like, no, you can't let any of them fight.
It's just too big a risk.
The question is: who in MMA?
And the problem, if you don't let any of them, you, any of them, fight, Jake just keeps fucking talking that shit.
And not just talking that shit, he's talking to the fighters like, yo, why won't Dana let you get your payday?
Breach contract.
And that fucks with you more than you losing in the brand as a fighter personally.
Like, yo, this motherfucker really not letting me make eight figures on a fight.
And he could pay me six figures.
Do you want to fight Charles Olivera for 250 grand or do you want to fight Jake Paul for 10 million?
If he goes, yo, it break contract, I'll pay for it.
That's a crazy flex.
I don't know what the actual money is for breaching contract like that, but.
I mean, you're going to be tied up in litigation forever.
You're never going to see any of that fucking money.
They might even stop the fight.
Like, they might have legal recourse to not allow the fight.
But you don't even have to go that far.
Just keep fucking with these guys.
Because even if it's a sanctioning body, like if you're going through an actual sanction, like the Nevada Athletic Commission would be like, yeah.
But even if that doesn't happen, remember Francis Nganu was on our podcast and he was like something about the money.
He didn't seem very upset about money.
Then after the first Jake Paul Ben Asprin fight, he tweeted something like, how the fuck are these guys making so much money?
They're all noticing.
And Jake Paul is calling it out.
So they're noticing even more.
Like, yo, this is the payday.
So Dana almost, if you don't let these guys, if you cut it all off, they're all going to start looking like, why are you cutting off the biggest payday in my life on a sport where I risk my life?
Yeah, for a quarter of the damage, mind you, also.
Yes.
You get in the ring with Jake Paul.
You're like, all right, I'm going to walk home.
You know what I mean?
I lose my split decisions and I make $10 million.
Yeah.
Of course, Tyron really wants a rematch.
And Tyran not making no $10 million.
He made more than he made before.
I think, yeah, maybe he made a nail or something like that.
But like, still, it's still better than you're ever going to make anything in UFC.
It's just unbelievably impressive to see what happened with this fight.
He can call out whoever he wants now, and you have to take it seriously.
And again, I think we should enjoy this, whether you like him or hate him.
Either way, just enjoy what's happening because the second he starts fighting real boxes, I think it's a wrap.
And if I'm him, I'm not fighting him.
Yeah.
Like, why fight him?
You know, you fight one real boxer for a hundred million dollar pay.
That's the only thing that you do.
You fight Canelo.
You can fight Tyson Fury.
It doesn't matter if you get knocked out in the first round.
Make the big money.
Tyson will kill him.
Yeah, maybe the heavyweight thing is a little bit given some advantage.
How far is Floyd?
Deontay Wilder would fucking what?
Like, is that even an option?
You think is that even a fight?
Like, uh, I think after Floyd went in there with Logan and he was like, man, I can't hurt these guys.
Yeah, it's not fun.
It's not too far weight class.
Like, yeah.
He'll beat them the same way that he beat Logan.
It'll just be basically the same flight.
Yeah.
And it's like, okay, they can take a punch.
Like, Tyron hit him with a great shot.
Yeah.
He stood up and he kept swinging the rest of the round.
Yeah.
Like, this is Tyron.
It hits hard.
He's got a chin.
Yeah.
Especially with those big gloves.
They're tough.
Yeah.
The kids are tough.
So it's like, I don't even know if Floyd cares about all that.
Especially if his team's like, yo, Jake's actually maybe a little more technical than Logan.
He might be better than Logan.
So yeah, I just bro.
I don't know.
Al, you're not buying it.
Why not, Al?
Just because it was ugly boxing, bro.
Yeah.
It was ugly boxing.
Like, I've never seen boxing that ugly.
This is what I. He's not a pro boxer.
I'm watching this.
I'm like, oh, I see how you're a real boxer.
We'll fuck you up.
But an MMA boxer is also not a real boxer.
And the drama is there enough that we know we got to talk about it.
I get the entertainment factor about it, and I'm not a hater on that, but just it.
Okay, here's the thing: their mistakes that he's making.
Not mistakes per se, but just like things that he's doing.
Sometimes off balance, he'll throw a double jab and his back foot will like slide out the back, like just different weird things that happen because he's young in the game.
But here's the biggest equalizer: power.
Like, if you look at guys who have power, like real power, a lot of times that technique ain't shit.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
You say that about Deontay Wilder.
Yeah, it's like Deontay Wilder can't box to save his life, but that motherfucker hits you.
You go into another galaxy.
But that's why it's nice to see him go up against a Fury who has technical skill.
And now it's like, oh, you see the difference between boxing and just a brawler.
Yes.
Like that is beautiful to watch.
This is just two fucking brawlers.
Put another cruiser weight in there that has a lot of experience in boxing since they're 10 years old.
It's going to be a very different game.
Put a guy who's 160-pounder in there.
He has a 30-pound weight advantage, even if that 160-pounder has been fighting for his whole life.
Manscape Grooming Tips00:03:36
You never know.
Might be interesting.
You never know.
I'd watch that.
If he goes against an actual boxer, I'd watch it.
Against Dude Female.
What do you think of watching?
I think, listen.
Or even someone else on the card.
Like that one dude, Montana for his name.
I think with Montana, like Montana Love, it's like, okay, maybe he doesn't touch him at all, but Montana Love's not going to be able to hurt him.
You know what I mean?
So it's just going to be maybe another Floyd-S fight.
Like maybe he loses on points to a really skilled, quick guy.
Okay, so you lose on points, but you're not going to get dominated.
You're not going to get knocked out.
You're not going to be able to create enough power and put yourself in a danger zone in order to hurt him.
You know, because if he's taking one big fucking shot from Tyron Woodley, he's going to take 10 shots from a kid who's 130-pound fighter.
It's just not going to hurt.
You know, at a certain point in time, it's just physics.
Anyway, it was just a crazy thing to fucking happen.
What world are we living in right now?
I know.
It's just unbelievable.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because some of your pubic hair looks fucking disgusting and you need to take care of it immediately.
Okay.
You know exactly who you are.
Just sitting there, sweat dripping down your balls because you haven't clipped your pews in probably three to five years.
Your girl's pissed off.
If you don't have a girl, maybe that's the reason.
Make sure your dick looks good.
Okay.
It's the first thing you could do.
That's the outfit for your dick.
Okay.
Make sure your dick is in a nice outfit.
If you're taking off your underwear, you're taking off your pants, and you feel a little bit embarrassed because you're looking disheveled down there.
That's your fault.
And you can fix that.
And Manscape is going to be the one to do it.
I'll tell you the reason why I love Manscape because it saves me fucking time.
Simple as that.
I got to trim my shit up nice and proper, okay?
I got to make sure my thing looks absolutely immaculate.
And I do it with Manscape because it's going to save me minimum 25 minutes in time.

Crocs Verse Skip00:10:17
Now, let's get back to the show.
All right, and we back.
Kanye dropped.
Let's have an honest conversation about it.
Let's go.
As opposed to.
Let's have an honest conversation about it.
Okay.
I tried to listen.
I was skipping a lot.
I had a couple songs that were cool.
Favio killed it on that shit.
His verse was crazy.
Did you listen to that one?
Which song was he on?
Was it off the grid or some shit?
I didn't know who a lot of the features were.
Goddamn songs.
Also, he doesn't put the fucking feature on that one.
That's frustrating.
Let me know who's on what.
I think it was off the grid.
But like, I keep on going back to, I keep on going back to this.
Is it Pablo?
Nope.
You turn on Pablo, and the first five or six songs, you just couldn't stop listening.
Unreal.
One after another.
Transition and everything.
Beautiful.
Boom.
This wasn't that to me.
Nope.
I'm just like, Drake, the ball, put it this way: the ball's in Drake's court.
Yeah.
Drake can get Kanye to fuck out of here if he wants.
If Certified Lover Boy comes through, Haymaker, he just goes like this.
Bye, little pip squeak.
See you later.
In my opinion, your guys' thoughts.
I thought if he made it, it was 27 songs, I think, by the end.
He's just trying to game streaming shit.
Trying to game streaming, and that bothers me.
If you want to make a classic, if he had 12 songs on there, I would be like, holy fuck.
And this is where you like, I recognize Kanye's Jesus, his genius, and that he had a song.
I think it's called Lord.
I need you.
The one about Kim.
How you can make a fucking make me feel this way about Kim Kardashian, who I've never liked.
I'm like, yo, this girl sounds great.
This is his genius.
He can make this emotional of a song about his ex-wife.
But there's so many songs on there where you're like, yo, I just, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
And that's what got him.
Beautiful songs, but also a lot of just filler.
First listen, I hated it.
Okay, good.
First listen, I hated it.
Yeah.
Too much Lord shit, too much Jesus shit.
I don't like the fact that there's no curses on the album.
Like, I want, like, give me the option.
Give me the uncensored version and give me the clean version.
But the fact that there's none.
Second listen, I fuck with it.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's like, I think it depends on your environment when you're listening to.
The first time I was listening, headphones in the pool.
And I was like, ah, this shit is mad long to get through.
That's mad long.
Mad long to get through.
Second time I'm at the gym and it's playing on a speaker.
Sounds good.
I would want to hear it on loudspeakers in a car.
So that I put it on the phone, on the speaker on my phone as we were coming back from, we just landed and we're coming back from Newark.
Yeah.
And I press play and I'm like, you want me to play a speaker, babe?
You can listen.
And I said, Danta, Danta, Danta.
And then it's like 15 seconds there.
My girl's just like, oh, it's a minute of Donjon.
So, yeah, I think part of it is that that was just the pure auditory experience and that there was like visual elements that sort of went along with it and that the whole album sort of was like a show, sort of, at like the listening party.
Apparently, I didn't see it.
But like for like the Donda chant, it was like a different picture of him and his mom growing up on every iteration of Donda, Dunda, Dunda.
And it was just like flashing images of like him growing up with his mom and then like his mom passing away.
So like there was like a story within that song to me that is like a skip.
Like, oh, yeah, I'm not even going to listen to this.
Okay.
There was a holy fire.
Yeah, exactly.
But at the show, it was like, oh, there's actually a cool thing happening.
Like his mom's name is now like this word that doesn't even sound like a word.
Like, so apparently in the live experience, it came across different than just purely audio.
Yeah.
And that happened with a few different people.
Listened majority by people who are not at the live show.
Yeah, exactly only audio.
So it's like you're curating something that isn't going to satisfy the consumer.
Right.
It's kind of stupid.
Okay, we're going.
But I'm assuming he's just like a purist, crazy person.
That's like, this is the way it has to be.
This is the way the live show was.
And this is the way I want it to be.
You make Crocs.
That's what you do.
You make your money on Crocs.
Don't give me this purest fucking shit.
You make Crocs.
Did he actually do a Crocs Club?
I didn't see it.
No, but that's what the sneaker is like.
You make Crocs.
Bieber.
He a hater.
What?
You are a hater.
Why am I a hater?
Son, he made something different.
And the fact that he makes it cool, you don't like that.
You call yourself Jesus.
You call yourself the greatest fucking creator ever.
Yeah, he calls himself Steve Jobs.
You know, that sounds familiar.
He said you sarcastically.
He's dead serious.
So once you call yourself that shit, you got to be open to the criticism.
If he was like, yo, I'm mid.
I'm regular.
I'm just one of the guys.
I'd be like, bro, you a little better than one of the guys, bro.
Like, you see these Crocs?
These are the most fire Crocs I ever seen.
Why would you say that these are, you're just a regular guy?
You took Crocs and you made them cool enough to wear with jeans and shit.
But if you call yourself Jesus, Steve Jobs, and you just made Crocs with holes in them, I'm going to say that's who you are.
You set the expectation for how people consume you.
Isn't that Versailles, what you were just saying before?
He's cap.
But it's not cap.
It's not cap.
Anyway, like you were saying, you were still saying.
So I'm so I'm curious about the live show.
Like after listening to it, I listened to it twice and on the second list, it was kind of the same thing.
But that's how all Kanye's albums are to me.
Like the first time I listened to Pablo, I was like, oh, it's cool.
It's good.
But then the second time I was like, oh, yeah, I'll listen.
There's no skips on this.
The first time I was like, I'll skip a few songs.
I think you could skip Pablo on the back.
The back half.
Or the back half, maybe.
But now I love all those tracks.
Fair, but like the first time I listened to Pablo, number one, I was like, this is fucking unreal.
Yeah.
Dude, ways of fire.
I wish that this album was what Jesus is King was.
Ah, so it's got a lot of the Jesus stuff in it.
I want, like, if you're going to make a gospel album, that's dope.
But Jesus is King, I was like, I can't, this is not even listenable.
Like, I did not enjoy anything on here.
Whereas this track had like Jesus influence, but also like old Kanye.
And I was like, oh, okay, that's a cool way to approach a gospel album.
So make this Jesus is King.
And so, like, I'm hoping that's what he was trying to do.
He was trying to do like the redemption thing.
And then the next album is like more like Pablo and the rest of it.
But as far as a listening experience, listening to it all the way through, I thought it was like fun.
If you're listening intently, the whole thing?
Yeah.
I listen to it at the gym.
But like, if you're listening intently, like, okay, I'm listening to this song.
I'm listening to this lyric.
There was one song that was like eight minutes, 45 seconds or something.
I mean, I was on a flight, so I was.
I also didn't get like the repeats, like doing like Jail One, Jail Part Two, and it's just the same song, but a different feature.
I'm like, I know the jail one, he made some well.
I thought they didn't get jail two.
I thought it was a drop last night.
It did drop last night.
Yeah, because the baby, there was something going on.
But here's why slaps.
Here's what I think people love.
That's probably my favorite.
That's my favorite song.
Jails is a favorite.
Jail one and two are both fire.
Okay.
Jay-Z's verse, I actually thought was pretty good.
Jay-Z versus the highlight of the album.
Yeah, probably.
The baby's verse was good.
That's the one thing I do like about Kyan's.
He brought the features out and they came to perform.
Like, I didn't feel like any of the features really phoned in.
That's true.
Like, all the features I thought slapped.
I thought, like, the Lauren Hill influence was cool, even though it was like from an old track.
Yeah, I thought Lauren was going to be on it.
Yeah, I got so hyped and then so disappointed.
I was waiting for her verse because Angie's back out.
She was on Nas's album.
I was like, okay, maybe she's back out rapping now.
I couldn't, I was waiting for that shit.
And then I was disappointed.
I also hated the censoring too.
Yeah.
Because now you're making me add in the N-words.
I'm like, I think it goes there.
I don't know.
Like, you're making me do all the work being like, I don't know if that rhymes with figure like that.
Like, now I got to add it into the song.
That made me uncomfortable, Kanye.
Yeah, I didn't like this.
I didn't even notice the censor and shit, to be honest.
I don't know what I mean either.
I thought I was listening to a censored version.
You know how they have like the explicit.
That's what I thought too.
And I went back to all of them.
But then he goes, yo, shout out to the throat goats.
And that was a censor.
I was like, all right, yeah.
I mean, shout out to the I don't know.
What do you think?
Again, yo, sonically, like, uh, or like music-wise, I remember you saying on one of his last albums, you were like, it just doesn't even sound good.
Like, musically, I thought this did it, seemed like he took his time more.
So, in that sense, if you want to say Kanye is back, yeah, cool.
But as a rapper, it's just like not really.
There's not, he's not rapping that great on it.
And also, I think it's weird to beef with Drake where it's like, if you're Kanye, you seem to be moving away from rap.
Why are you going at this rapper and making this a competitive rapper?
Your whole point with fashion with fashion is I want to make fashion that is universally acceptable, and these white people are the gatekeepers.
But then, when it comes to your music, you're still competing with the black guy in the rap genre that you say you're above competition for.
Like, you're past this, dude.
And Drake is probably going to smoke you, but like, I think the Drake angle is weird.
I think when he dropped it, and this is why I think he doesn't have faith in the album, he dropped it and then said, Oh, Universal put out my music without my permission.
That should have sucked.
So, if people say it's whack, you're going to be like, Oh, but they didn't have my permission because the internet wasn't really fucking with it early on, at least.
Yeah, initial reaction on Academics page, and they did pretty much everybody, but L L L L.
Yeah.
And then I see a post from him, Oh, Universal didn't have my permission.
Yeah, and then all the people that got left off was interesting, too.
Soldier Boy was upset, he got left off, and the text messages are there with Kanye saying, like, yo, I love you, you're a genius, send me a verse.
Soldier Boy, there's a screenshot of the verse, and then he's just not anywhere on the album.
What about what was his face?
Uh, Donald Glover, is that his name?
Yeah, I'm influential.
Yeah, what does that mean?
I don't know necessarily.
I don't know if he was talking about like one of his like flows being bit by Kanye.
I wasn't sure exactly.
I mean, he didn't really come out specified.
Everybody was all salty, man.
I mean, I think Chris Brown was tweeting some shit or posted on Instagram.
You seen that?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the only one I don't know why he was upset.
Because he was probably left off, too.
But like, I'm wondering, do these people not know Kanye well enough?
Yeah, no.
I think that they think they're above that.
Like, they're above being passed on.
What I thought would be dope is if because Kanye kind of did it.
Like, he had Marilyn Manson.
He had the baby, right?
And if he had Chris Brown, like, what if he took all these people?
Like, if he's really about that forgiveness shit, he's really about that Jesus.
Kanye Forgiveness Debate00:03:17
Making Uncool shit cool.
Yeah.
Or no, no.
He used to be Mr. Uncool.
Cool.
Now, what if he's about like forgiveness and rebirth?
Like, truly about Jesus.
And he takes all these people that have done fucked up things in their lives.
And it was like, yo, here's the forgiveness song or be part of this.
Like, this is about rebirth.
Like, I fucked up.
I was on that red hat shit and I was doing all these things and I was living this crazy life and that was fucked up.
I shouldn't have done it.
And now he's truly using the power of Jesus to help these people be, you know, rebranded and forgiven for their transgressions.
Like I thought that would, I thought that's what he was trying to do.
So, and then, you know, Breezy not on it.
I guess not everybody gets forgiven.
You know, like, it is, oh, it's kind of interesting.
So the Donald Glover thing, people are pointing out that his album, 31520, was just a white album cover.
Okay.
Whereas Donna was just a black album cover.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because they're going to make sure your skin looks good.
Okay.
This is it.
This is something that men do not take care of.
We don't think we have to.
We just let our skin go to shit.
It's simple as that.
I'll turn it to fucking Clint Eastwood by 40 years old.
It's bullshit.
Okay.
And thank God geology has stepped in and decided to make a product for us that we can use that is nice and simple.
We're not going to do what women do.
We're not going to have 10 different fucking serums that we put all over our face.
We got droplets on our eyelashes, something for our nostrils, another thing for our lips.
We're not going to fucking do it.
You have to make it simple.
And that's exactly what they did.
Look at it right here.
Okay.
Face wash.
They give you two the same.
One for the shower, one for the sink.
Because you know damn well, if it's in the shower and I'm at the sink, I'm not going in there to get it.
And if it's off the sink and I'm in the shower, I'm not going out to get it.
They know that we are stubborn.
They know we're not going to do it.
Then we have the creams.
One for the night, one for the morning.
Okay?
That's simple.
They also got something for under the eyes if you want to.
Look how easy that is.
They make it easy.
And I know what you're thinking.
How could this be one set of creams and washes for every single person?
It's not.
It's not.
You could take a test.
They're going to find out what type of skin you have and they're going to make sure they curate that for you.
You're getting the thing that your skin needs.
That simple.
Okay.
And not only that, we're going to hook your fucking ass up when you're out there looking great, looking sexy, skin looking smooth and just glowing.
All right.
You know how we're going to hook you up?
You're going to go to geology.com.
That is G-E-O-L-O-G-I-E.com and use the promo code Flagrant and you're going to get 70% off a trial subscription.
I just said 70, 7-0% off a trial subscription.
You know how confident a brand needs to be to give you that much of a discount, knowing that your ass is going to stay subscribed?
That's a brand that has had over 4,000 five-star customer reviews with an average customer rating of 4.8 out of 5.
They've been recognized by Men's Health, Esquire, Assmen, Grooming Wards, all that stuff.
But most importantly, by Dove the Truffle Pick.
Okay?
The Truffle is all in.
He loves it.
And the skin is immaculate.
I'm telling you.
And if they're the reason why his hands are so soft, I swear to God, I'll buy into the company right now.
Something really special is happening.
Okay?
Akash, you were going to say something.
Oh, I'm all using this, Bro.
Of course, we're all using this.
Obviously, we're all using this.
But is it Truffle approved?
Absolutely.
Truffle told us about it.
Truffle told us, listen, I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Drew and I actually were introduced by a doctor that was in his 50s.
Dude, looked like early 40s.
And Andrew literally asked him, why do you look that young?
Opening Hour Bangers00:08:19
And he put us onto this.
The thing I like about it is simple, okay?
I know I could go to the fucking dermatologist and I could get 50 different sprays and shit that I put off.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it every single day.
I'm a man.
Shit has to be simple.
It has to be convenient.
They understand it.
They curated this for us to use so we can look amazing.
God bless it, fellas.
Go out there, do it.
And ladies, if you're listening right now, get your man on it.
Get your man on it.
He deserves it.
He deserves to glow as well.
Okay.
Geology.com, promo code flagrant, 70% off a trial subscription.
You are welcome.
Now let's get back to the show.
Okay.
Whereas Donna was just a black album cover.
So people are like, that's one similarity.
What was the white album for the Beatles?
What kind of cover was that?
Was that not just?
I think it was white, and then it just said the white album at the bottom.
This was just a white square and a black square.
Hopefully.
No blue square.
Trey Square.
Let's go, Trey.
Oh, if he comes with a blue square out of it.
But I also thought the album cover was kind of weird, too.
Like, I didn't really get why.
I didn't even see the album.
I don't know.
It just seemed weird.
Like, it's the album's name after his mother, like, the woman he loves the most in his life.
And he's like, what's the album cover?
Black.
Black.
He's like, what can I do that would remind me of my mom?
Like, she was black, I guess.
It's close.
Like, come on, dude.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm just unenthused.
Maybe there was nothing that he could do that would come close to his admiration for that.
I think he's a little too far gone.
I don't think we're ever going to have the genius that we think Kanye is.
Like, he comes close to it, but it's still just, I don't think he got it anymore.
Like, I think he's a little bit too far off.
Yeah, I don't think he was ever.
He was a brilliant musician, but this genius shit that we put on him, I guess he put it on himself, but then we bought into it.
We were idiots.
The whole time, I was like, this guy's just bipolar.
What are we doing?
Of course, I'm speaking musically.
Yeah.
But I'm just saying, like, I don't even think he's going to make that great music like he was once able to make.
Yeah.
That's also the line with Crazy Genius, though, right?
Like, it flips so quick because they're so close to each other.
You know what I mean?
Like, the guy that just, the genius.
Johnny McGregor is a crazy person now.
Yeah.
He was winning.
He was a genius.
That's what I'm saying.
He's doing the same behavior.
He just doesn't.
He's just not winning.
And maybe, maybe he was always doing this behavior.
Maybe he's always tweeting these things.
Maybe he was always saying this shit.
And now I think it's a little bit extra now.
He's more desperate.
I think he's more desperate.
But when he was saying, when he was winning, he wasn't desperate.
He was the king.
The king says whatever the fuck the king wants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's everyone.
Anyone that takes a crazy risk and then it works out, they're a genius.
And if it doesn't work out, you're crazy.
So it's like, he's in his crazy spot.
But if he comes out with another album later that smacks, and then everyone's like, oh, yeah, he's a genius again.
Yeah, that's the thing with music.
It's like, you're just forgiven once it's good.
Yeah.
It is the most intoxicating form of content.
Like a great song is a great song.
It gets inside you in a way.
It does, man.
Like a joke doesn't get stuck in my head.
I'm not fucking saying jokes to myself walking down the street.
Music, man.
I don't need anything.
I'm there.
Yeah.
Now, would you see him if he comes live to New York?
No interest.
Really?
I got to stay live.
The only reason I want to is because of what you said.
Before that, I've never seen a Kanye show.
Zero interest.
Nah, you son.
You should go just to see him put on a show.
Oh, because what you want to do now is put on show.
Yeah, but you said continue seeing it.
No, I thought it was mid.
Oh, really?
It's kind of cool.
I've liked every Kanye show I've gone to.
Like, it just, he put so much effort into it.
And I like Kanye.
I've been standing for a long time.
My back gets hurt.
Like, let me sit down.
Like, why do I have to stand?
What's going on right now?
Like, everybody, fuck.
It takes you an hour and a half.
It's time, bro.
It's too much.
I am crazy.
I don't like live music.
That's what I'm saying.
No, I like live music, but like, start it.
Start it.
Like, you're going to make people stand for three hours and then you come on.
Like, start it.
If you want to make people wait, at least let them sit down.
Bring some seating.
Oh, so you were mad because he was late?
Son, I once, what was that fat girl that used to sing a lot?
No, not fat girl.
This girl from like Australia, New Zealand, or some shit.
Remember, she was like weird a bit.
Bjork?
No, no, no.
Anna Gatsby.
She was kind of popping for a little bit.
Lord.
Oh, Lord Smacks.
Her new shift.
Oh, she's not fat.
Not at all fat.
Nah, she wasn't fat.
Nah.
She was like 12.
Yeah, she was 12.
You were thinking 12.
Yeah.
No, no.
But like, I remember watching one of her shows.
Like, a girl I was with back in the day wanted to see her live.
And like.
I'm like standing for an hour and a half before she even comes on.
I'm like, this is not it, bro.
Yeah.
Like, this is crazy.
How do you stand for an hour and a half?
That's a young people's game.
Sit down.
Like, why can't we just sit?
If I'm sitting, I'm good.
Everything's fine.
People stepping on my fucking sneakers for an hour and a half.
You're going to get your sneakers stepped on for an hour and a half before Kanye comes on, sing some trash songs.
The best part of the fucking whole concert are the features, they're not going to be there.
Like, why would anybody go to this?
Everybody's going, yo, the features are the best part.
I can't wait to see the live show.
Who's there?
I'm sure some of them will come through.
Not all of them.
He does the garden.
He's got 36 features at the fucking thing.
He does the garden.
The big ones, yeah.
But if you think the features are all pwned up to Indianapolis, you're out your goddamn mind, bro.
But the garden also has seats.
Not where when he does the pit.
When I was there, I saw him at the garden and he had the pit.
And I was fucking exhausted.
I was like, all right, all right.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Wrap it up.
Nah, Drake's in a good place, though.
Drake got to do it, right?
Yeah, and he's in a great place.
He's like, oh, I get to hear the album.
I get to see what people like, don't like about it.
I can still make tweaks to mine.
I can have some bars coming at you now.
He's going to come out with like club bangers that everyone's going to listen to.
Be like, oh, this is cool.
And it's just going to be better.
Because it's going to be kind of different.
Like, the listening experience is going to be different.
I don't know if he's going to innovate in the way Kanye tried to innovate.
It's not going to be as unique, but I think the songs are just going to be consistently better.
Yeah, just give me some bangers, dog.
Give me some fucking bangers.
Put a feature on that.
Give me some bangers.
I can sit down to it.
Yeah, sit down.
Tap, tap.
Stand and listen to music, bro.
You said you were at the gym, probably sitting down.
You know, you were driving, sitting down.
You were on a flight, sitting down.
Sit down.
Make sit-down music.
What's up with all this stand-up music, bro?
All these shenanigans.
This is a bunch of kids and they're standing.
Why are these kids standing?
Son, both of them 40 years old.
Why did they make a stand-up music?
Yeah.
Like, think about, you know what?
If I'm standing up on the concept.
Everybody stay seated.
That's that fire shit.
If I'm everybody, get comfortable.
Exactly.
No, no, no.
Just cross your legs.
Just for the weight.
That's what I'm saying.
It's just for the weight.
I'm okay.
Once you're out there playing the music, I'm ready to go.
Let's rip.
But I'm not going to do it after an hour and a half of already standing.
Yeah, I know.
Just show up late.
Because you know there's always opening acts.
Yeah.
You never did a show before.
You could have just sat.
It was never an opening act for Kanye.
Yes, it was.
Not at Pablo.
It was just Pablo.
So you just sat and sat.
No, no, no.
That doesn't make sense.
What doesn't make sense?
So you were there.
You were just sitting and standing in silence for an hour and a half.
Like nothing was going on?
Nah, I guess they were playing some shit, huh?
Yeah, the opening act was playing.
You just probably weren't paying attention.
Did you see Pablo?
There was no one in the middle.
No, I saw the one before.
They were just playing music or some shit.
But there was no opening act.
It was just him.
And remember, there was the stage that moves across.
Yeah.
That was Pablo, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
So, yeah, there was no opening act.
We were just sitting there in the fucking pit, just staring up at the bottom of his fucking sneakers.
Yeah.
You got to sit on someone's shoulders or something.
That's where you got to tap someone you would.
Be like, yo, can I climb up?
Yeah, I would literally do that at that point.
I found a wall and I just leaned on it.
Sound like you had Akasha's wedding, bro.
That's a quadrara.
Let me lean, please.
I was literally just like anything, dude.
Damn, Kanye's got four more laps.
That's the thing.
I'm okay to stand if the music is playing.
We're all dancing and partying, but I'm not standing for an hour and a half before and then standing the whole fucking time.
That's too much.
Too much.
I didn't know that.
Nothing goes on for an hour and a half.
Don't I was looking to find one of them seats that you could like take with you to shit.
You know, it's like you could fold it up.
Oh, yeah.
WWE chair.
Nah, like a, it's almost like a tripod, but I got a little seat.
Yeah.
Like a monopod I could sit on.
Yeah, I got you.
That's far.
Yeah.
All right, next.
All right.
What else we got?
Manchester League Teams00:15:38
Ronaldo.
Yeah.
Soccer fans, I know everybody in Europe.
I know how much y'all love our soccer takes.
So here we go, bro.
Oh, yeah.
We're the experts on soccer.
We know everything about soccer.
All right.
So here we go.
You want to hear some hard soccer bars?
Here it is.
Ronaldo is going to Arsenal.
Yeah.
Yeah, Arsenal.
The Brazilians are in fucking England again, dude.
We got it.
Brazilians are there.
We've been waiting for so long for Ronaldo to finally go to Arsenal and play under Verner Braun.
Van Braun.
Eva Braun.
Eva Braun.
What is it?
Eva Braun.
Eva Braun.
Eva Braun is the coach.
First soccer coach in the history of football for Arsenal.
Ronald Dinho is going to win him the championship.
Yeah, Ronaldinho.
Ronaldo's nickname is Ronald Dino.
Sometimes Ronald Dinho got that shit.
So it's going to be crazy, bro.
I think he's got to be the best midfielder they've ever had, right?
I think he's well, he's a goalie.
Oh, he's a goalie.
That's my guy.
He is an unstoppable guy.
He scores all the goals.
He's a goalie.
He's been a goalie.
Beckham was a little bit better.
Beckham was a little bit better.
He's like a goalie.
He was better.
He was definitely better.
Now he's number two.
Ronaldo is playing on Berlin.
FC Berlin.
Okay.
Bundesliga.
Bundesliga.
He's been.
Okay.
He's down there for real.
Yeah.
No, He's playing for Manchester United.
Yeah.
Okay.
Why does this?
Why do people care?
Maybe some people might care because if he wins a champion, if he wins a championship with Manchester United, then I think that puts him ahead of Messi.
It's a higher level league than the French league.
I guess the top tier leagues are the champions, what is it called?
The EPL?
No, no, La Liga, Spain.
Yep.
Syria in Italy.
Syria in Italy.
And then the English Premier League.
Yeah, EPL.
And League One is up there as far as like PSG and shit.
But it's not.
Bundesliga.
It goes Bundesliga, then the French League.
Because how many teams are there even in the French league?
Like, there's like one.
I mean, there's a legacy team that always wins.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's just like you go in to play for like the Brooklyn Nets.
You're basically going to join Kevin Durant and all these people at the Nets for the bet.
And imagine there were no other teams in the league that you even play against.
So like the Messi thing isn't a really big challenge, but Manchester United is not a team that's been killing it, right?
They've been doing like okay.
They're like middle of the field.
Mid table, yeah.
So if you take them and you win the championship with them, you might have to say that Ronaldo's the best, bro.
How good is he still?
He's a legend.
He's mid.
I mean, how good is he still, right?
For his age, he's like mid-30s and he's still like not for his age, just like against all players.
Relative to other players, where is he?
Is he LeBron in the NBA?
Raleigh LeBron, I'd say.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I know he's still nice.
So he's still top five.
Still a goal scorer.
I think he led Juventus in goals last year.
Like, he, any team he goes to, he just an ammo.
So did he leave like the Spanish team because Messi left a Spanish team?
No, he was playing for an Italian team.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So it's just the craziest transfer window, also, too.
Like this transfer window, like that you have Messi moving, Mbappe might be moving.
That's still Mbappe.
Yeah, that's still a transfer rumor.
He's going to leave.
Bum.
No, he scored two goals in the Messi's debate.
And then fucking blew it.
Yeah.
Fucking league.
You got some bad games.
Nah, he's a bum.
Sometimes you forget to go.
People have bad games.
That's just what it is.
Fuck you, bro.
No, but like, so he might be going to Real Madrid, which would be just like a crazy transfer window.
You have three of the best players that are playing, like, three of the top 10 that are all switching teams going to different leagues all in the same window right before the Champions League to shake up.
Hey, soccer fans, welcome to American football.
This happens every fucking year.
Get used to it.
The NBA, dog.
NBA, more.
Not even close.
American football is much more.
Talent moving around?
Yeah, no, it's definitely NBA.
No, you can just put a franchise tag on a guy in the NFL and he didn't really go anywhere.
Like a big quarterback never really leaves, really.
Like a couple of times in the past five, six years.
I feel like every year there's a big fucking trade in football.
Like a big movement of players every year.
Like Kevin Durant going, James Harden going to the Nets.
That was in two years.
Kyrie Irving.
That was three players in two years to one team.
This is like if Dak Prescott, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes all switched teams all the same like window and then to different leagues on top of that right before Champions League.
It's just wild.
It's just interesting to see it.
Interesting to see the shakeup.
But are the teams that they went to in the championship?
Yeah, they're in the Champions League.
It's like unheard of.
It's never happened.
It would be like if back in the day, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosch all left their teams and went and played on the same team.
But Champions League is different.
Can you eat that later?
Yeah.
Sorry, Laurent.
I'm so jet lagged.
You're going to shit the couch.
Champions League.
Explain Champions League, Mark.
I mean, it's just basically cross-competition with all the leagues.
So all the biggest leagues, all the games.
It's basically the best teams of all the other leagues play in one World Cup of the club teams.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Basically.
So it's like, yes, Paris, yes, Paris, PSG, Paris, St. Germain, whatever the team the Messi's playing on.
Yeah.
Yes, they're going to play in the Champions League, but the rest of the teams they're playing regularly aren't as good as the teams that the team, you know, Real Madrid would be playing against or Manchester United or maybe even Juventus.
Right.
I mean, how many Syria-a teams are like legit, legit?
Three?
Yeah, three, four.
Three, four.
So it's just, I guess that's what makes a league itself really good.
Yeah, and SG didn't even win last year, though.
It was Lil.
So all respect.
And then the other thing that's interesting is that he's going back to Man Yu, which is the team that he sort of made his bones at and started at.
There was funny.
He thought he started there.
I didn't want to sound like a moron, but I thought he started there.
He started there.
He started in Portugal, but yeah.
I mean, he started with Lisbon FC, but then was a star and became a star with Alex Ferguson at Man Yu.
And then there were traders.
He burns his fucking jerseys, son.
Yeah, they were.
And then he went back.
And did you hear that shit about there were rumors he was going to go to Manchester City?
The Man City thing apparently is the whole thing that provoked them to put in the offer.
But apparently, Man Yu didn't even really have major intentions to try to scoop him up.
Like as far as like, because they actually, I checked the numbers.
They finished sixth in 2019, but in 2020, they were like top of the table.
So they've been like top five pretty much for the last like few years.
So they've been good.
But so they didn't really need a Ronaldo as far as like their budgets and salaries and their current roster.
But they were like, we're going to make a push for him because we can't stand to potentially see him with our rival at Man Yo.
But it's kind of interesting because when I was first playing FIFA when I was younger, the soccer game, that's the only way I know anything about soccer.
Man City was not a nice team.
It was Manchester United.
That was the fucking team.
That's the only thing that was that ball motherfucker who was kind of nice.
White boy.
For Man Yu?
Yeah.
Back in the day.
I don't remember.
And then he came over and played in the MLS for a little bit.
And then he got his hair plugs and now he's got some hair.
Old British, white, British guy played for Man Yu.
I'm looking it up.
Nice striker.
I remember that black French dude that came to play for LA and then Beckham.
Wait, Henri?
Yeah.
Thierry Henri?
Didn't he play for a while?
He was Arsenal for New York.
Yeah, he was Arsenal once in the Rebels.
Yeah, yeah.
But so, so Manchester United was that team.
I think there was a guy who played for me.
I'm almost positive.
What the fuck is that guy's name?
White Boy.
He got hair plugs.
There's like a video of him getting knocked out, too, like fighting with like a friend.
Really?
He got like hair plugs.
Definite hair plugs.
He was like a super sale.
I didn't notice, though.
I don't know.
British guy.
Wayne Rooney?
Wayne Rooney.
He wasn't bald.
He wasn't bald.
He'd get crazy receding hairline, but he wasn't bald.
That's balls, honey.
What the fuck are we talking about over here?
Yeah, Wayne Rooney.
Y'all know nothing about soccer.
There's a couple of us bald in this room.
If you consider that.
Okay, so, but so yeah, so like Manchester United was nice.
Man City comes out.
They all of a sudden become nice.
Manchester United do nothing.
Fucking Man City got all the sandpaper.
They got all the what?
Sandpaper.
That's what they call the Saudi money?
Yeah, it's oil money, bro.
Sand City.
I don't know.
So that just sounds fucked, bro.
But Manchester United was by a Russian oligarch.
That's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, so, yeah, they both got their billionaires.
They're just different places.
But Man City starts balling out, right?
So Man City, the rumors are that Ronaldo is going to go to Man City.
And like people that are Manchester United fans start going, fuck Ronaldo.
He's over the hill.
Fuck him.
There's all these like memes and shit.
They're going crazy.
And then it comes out that Manchester United actually signs him.
All the exact same people like, he's here.
Got three years left.
Don't worry.
We love him.
So it's funny to see like the loyalty to club that exists within football.
Yeah.
Like I feel like now in American sports, like we're loyal to players a lot more.
Like motherfuckers.
Especially NBA and probably because it's so transient.
But with soccer, like I was in Barcelona, motherfuckers with fans of Barcelona didn't even know the players on the team.
Like if you ask them, yo, name eight players on the team, they could not name eight players.
But they were die hard, bleed.
What is it?
The blue, red, and yellow, whatever the fuck it is.
Bro, people have died, literally died in like fights for teams that have never won a league.
Oh, yeah.
Like, people are fighting for their life for a team that's trash.
Yeah.
And y'all die for this shit.
It's like, all right.
All right, man.
Boolean culture is crazy.
Who's Jaden Sancho?
My brother-in-law says he's a young kid who's nice on Manchester U.
I don't know.
Oh, you know, okay.
But they said, like, he has.
So Manchester U. Apparently, they've been getting a lot of young talent.
And so he's going to, I guess, be the elders to come in and like help him out and shit like that.
He ain't going to be the help him out.
No.
Oh, he's going to be.
I'm tired.
Yeah.
I think he's still like, he's the man.
And sometimes it's hard to work, you know, to play with the man.
Right?
Like, that's the thing you got to be careful.
That's a risk.
Like, I guess you hope that playing with a guy like Ronaldo, you see his work ethic.
You see not only his talent, but his dedication.
And then that rubs off on the younger players.
Yeah.
He's one of those guys that's like, I'm sleeping eight hours.
I'm working out twice a day.
I only drink water.
Like, that was the whole Coca-Cola thing.
He was like, fuck Coke.
We don't drink Coke.
Water only.
Like, he's like treating his body like LeBron shit.
A temple.
Yeah.
Okay.
And that should be looking like a temple.
He's a piece.
Nah, he's a fucking piece.
It's unbelievable.
I'll bet Money at the altar.
So, so that's the thing.
Like, I guess you hope some of that rubs off.
You just got to hope that he's not like a Jordan type where he's breaking these little motherfuckers because they're not getting him the ball in the positions that he wants it.
That's the risk is that you have this young kid who's been watching Ronaldo play his entire life and his dream is to play just like Ronaldo.
And now they're playing the same team.
And now he's shook.
He's frozen.
Because not every one of these young bucks is going to be like Kyrie where they want to go right at him.
There's going to be some of these young bucks that are like, I can't believe I'm playing with Ronaldo.
Yeah.
Because he's Jordan, right?
Yeah.
Like they're playing with fucking Jordan.
Yeah.
There's people that are like, I started playing just because of you.
So now we're on the same team.
Yeah.
Wow.
And they would never think that they would be able to.
They're like, he's not coming back to Manchester.
Yeah.
There's no way.
I'm shocked he's doing it.
Like, not even because he could come play in the U.S. and get a piece of a team and whatever, but because you've been there.
The weather, yeah, literally, the weather.
How did I know this?
I thought about this.
I was like, why would you do this?
You're in the twilight of your career.
You could be in Italy.
You could be in Spain.
You could come play in Los Angeles.
They take so many naps there and shit like that.
Why would you leave a place?
You probably got more chairs in Spain.
Have you never seen a girl in England, bro?
What are you doing?
Manchester, dog.
Manchester just feels colder.
It's more north.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
If you're not playing, it's more clouds.
Like, what are you doing?
Why?
Nothing like New York.
Nothing like that.
Don't come to me.
Yeah, but at least we're out of New York.
Outside of London, England is rednecks, dog.
Manchester, I've never been, but I went to fucking Birmingham and it was like, oh, y'all some Yokels out here, yo.
Nah, but they still got some hood spots.
Yeah, yeah, they got hood spots, too.
Fucking Yokels there, too.
Man, Yokel's in this bitch.
What's a Yokel?
Son, it's a fucking country-ass dude.
I see you a Yokel, bro.
Fucking country assistant.
I never heard of that.
You a yokel?
Yeah.
I never heard of it.
Bro, you were just talking about going to London.
London is, I said, outside of London.
I was like, that'd be a good business move, but I don't know if it's the move that we're going to make.
You know what I mean?
Just because of the language, but yeah, I don't, I mean, I don't know, man.
He got all the money in the world.
What the fuck?
You want to just be in the clouds, bro?
Like, nah, dude.
He wants to be the best.
He wants to be great.
Say what?
He wants to be great.
He's great.
He wants to win the EPL.
Relative to the athletes we would know.
He seems like Kobe.
Maybe, yeah.
Like, super focused.
This dedicated.
I'm not fucking.
Kobe played in LA.
Kobe demanded his trade.
He's like, I'm not going to be in Cleveland.
Kobe, what a Charlotte.
The Hornets, bro.
Yeah, he was the Hornets, man.
He's like, I'm not doing this shit.
Get me to Los Angeles.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's like, son, no.
That's a good point.
I'm not doing it, bro.
So I'm him.
I'm not doing it.
If he wins with this team, he's like legit the best.
Like, is it on some Brady shit?
If he takes another team to it, he's the GOAT.
I mean, it's always up for debate.
Like, we'll see what Messi does with PSG.
I mean, they're also the most stacked team ever.
Like, PSG.
Yeah, PSG's so stacked.
So it's like if Messi wins, like, you know, he did.
They make players on their body.
They got my bump.
He's one of my favorite players to be on a bump just because he let his team down.
But they got Mbop.
They got Neymar.
They got Neymar.
Don't help him.
They got Riberi.
Is that right?
They got the Scarface.
They got the motherfucking Bond villain.
Yeah, he really did play FIVA.
I respect that.
That's an old school FIFA Dica.
No, he played for Munich.
Nah, he plays.
No, I didn't.
He kind of saved him.
He plays for CNG now.
They got Santos.
They got the motherfucker that plays defense for Real Madrid.
It's so funny.
This is only for Sergio Ramos.
They got Sergio Ramos.
Oh, my God.
There's some fucking Mexican kids dying on the car right now.
There's a Mexican kid listening that's dying laughing.
They got Chicharito.
They got Chicharito.
They got Alex Ferguson.
They got Alex Ferguson.
That motherfucker nice with it.
They got Pele.
They got Tyree.
They got Alexei Lalis out there.
They got Alexi Lawless playing for them.
They got Tom Howard is goalie.
They got Tim Howard is goalie.
DeVas.
Samuel Eto.
They got Donda Darling.
That just fills up the rest of the roster.
And Freddie Adu.
That's the whole team.
They got Freddie.
Yo, Freddie Adu is playing.
Is that your favorite player?
My favorite player of all time is Freddie Adu.
Yes.
Nice.
Five foot four inch, 37-year-old Freddie Adu.
37-year-old high school senior Freddy Adu.
This is American soccer legend.
You don't remember Freddie Adu?
I met him at a soccer camp, bro.
Virtual Mic Fortnite00:15:27
What?
Yeah.
Did you ball on his ass?
He was supposed to be my age.
That motherfucker was 70.
He had a beard.
Yeah, dude.
Did you ball on his ass or what?
Nah, he was the coach of the camp.
Oh, he was coaching?
Yeah, it was Freddy to do soccer camp.
Oh, it was one of those.
That's why I became a legend.
Damn.
That's why you ain't make it, dog.
You're to the wrong side.
His advice was like, yo, be born in 1980.
And I was like, God damn it, I should have did that.
See a decade older than all the high school kids are playing.
It's actually good advice if you could do it, but most people don't want it that better.
But yeah, I think that I think Alexi Lawless is going to have an amazing season, bro.
Do you know who Alexi Lawless is, dude?
You don't know who that is?
No.
Legend, dog, bro.
You don't know anything.
You're going to really struggle in Europe, honestly.
You don't know Alexi Lawson.
Alexi Lawless in his all-sport commercials.
That fucking power, that thirst clencher back in the day you try to advertise for.
You don't know Mia Hamm?
You're fucked, dude.
You don't know Mia Hamm is?
That sounds familiar.
Yeah.
She had a little ass on her, right?
No, she had no ass on her whatsoever.
She suffered from no ass at all.
Nassitol.
You don't just say that.
You don't say she suffered from no ass at all.
You don't say it.
That's how you said it to me.
No, no satal.
You said no ass at all.
I said, no satal is no ass at all.
It's the disease.
That's what we called it.
The disease.
Stupid.
Nassitol.
Yeah, Nassitol.
I heard my mother shit.
She got Nassitol.
She got Nassitol.
Okay.
Yo, can we talk about this MLK Fortnite thing?
Yes, please.
Yes.
Bro, this shit is so funny.
Okay, go.
So Fortnite basically does these virtual events.
You know what Fortnite is out?
Yeah, that I do.
Yeah, he's trying so hard to be young.
I'm gonna play.
You tried so hard.
You're trying to be young, bro.
Bro, you have a Fortnite character tattoo on your arm.
Like, legit.
Wait, you have a Fortnite character tattooing your arm?
Yes, he does.
He's got MLK on his arm.
I don't know.
He's trying to make it.
He tried to make a joke.
Bro, there's some Mexicans died laughing right now.
Go, go.
All right, yo, Shifty's in the mix.
Let's go, Shit.
You just make sure he's fucking accurate and all these bullshit.
Be here to laugh at these references and don't know what to do.
He just Wikipedia this shit before he came in.
Going.
All right, so basically, Fortnite does these virtual events, right?
Where they had like a trap video game where you got to like build scaffoldings.
I mean, actually, it is.
You're thinking of Minecraft, but you actually do build scaffoldings.
No, I think you build scaffoldings and then you like do a lot of jumping and shit.
That is true.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought that shit was SimCity.
No, Sim Cities who build like actual cities and shit like that.
Or roll, you know, Fortnite is you build some of the stuff.
Doug definitely played Sim City as a kid.
Fucking parachute in and shit like that.
You got so many dances.
You can do dances in Fortnite, too.
You dance and build scaffoldings.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, you see dance revolution.
You steal dances from black kids and then you do them in the.
Scott Steele and Sharon.
You'll say black kids play Fortnite, bro.
So this is TikTok.
The video game.
TikTok the video game and basically they do these virtual events where you don't really like play on the map, but you can go and watch the event virtually.
So they have like a concert.
Travis Scott did a concert.
Dork ass.
He wild dorky yo.
And the most recent one they did is they did a virtual playing of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Oh, that would go wrong.
In Fortnite.
That's a let.
So all these kids that don't even know what the fuck.
Oh my God.
The I Have a Dream speech is.
They're from Portugal.
They're not from America.
They don't even know what's going on.
Yeah, it's a global game.
Okay, so you just pulled up.
And so the funniest part of the whole shit, so obviously like kids are just like doing dances and shit in front of the memorial.
Like he's talking and this kid's just fucking busting it out.
And then the best part is that they took it.
That's his dream, though, in a way, is white kids.
White kids and black kids.
Holy shit.
That's your point.
Doing black dances, coming together.
Holy chan.
But then on top of that, first off, M.L.K. was like a known pacifist.
Like he was a non-violence advocate.
He hated the war in Vietnam and he was a socialist.
And then literally, Fortnite is a capitalist violence game.
So I'm like, I don't know if this is necessary.
But it's not real violence.
It's a video game.
It's violent.
You're killing people with guns.
It's a video game.
No, but it's not real violence.
So I wish that was actually a setting where you got to dress up as FBI in the game.
That'd be sad.
And then if you shot him, okay, at least it would be accurate.
You know what I mean?
What?
I'm saying he was assassinated by the FBI.
Is that not true?
No.
Who CIA?
Excuse me.
And the old motherfucker.
I told you, Wikipedia.
I just thought he was assassinated by the CIA.
I think they just let him die.
I mean, that was the issue.
You don't think CIA killed him?
Who?
Martin Luther King?
Yeah.
No, I think he was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald.
Right?
James Errol Ray, actually.
Who is he killed by?
James Error.
The motherfucker that played Star Wars is Darth Bayer.
Star Wars killed.
Oh, shit.
Damn, you always treat him like MLK, bro.
Gee, I shot you like the CIA.
I scooped that motherfucker.
At least I hit this so I didn't damage you.
Yo, son, this is where my face is.
I moved it up.
I did it on purpose.
I literally moved.
I was nice with it.
Do you see my Amus?
If I didn't move the mic, that shit would have hit me right in my face.
This guy's crazy, bro.
You are crazy.
I have just eyes.
It's destroying shit.
It's Fortnite.
Why would I talk about Martin Luther King?
This is my event.
Martin Luther King said, pacifism, bro.
It's Fortnite.
Why can't you just love each other?
Hey, Miles, order another monitor.
Miles, bring a monitor.
We have the white man and the black man fighting, bro.
Why can't I just come to the bottom?
Why do you have to throw shit at me?
Why do you have to start it?
I wish it'd help you out.
Yeah, you know.
Move it right now.
I literally went like this.
I moved it up.
I throw it right at the mic.
There's no way that right at the mic.
That show's coming mad fast.
Did you throw this fast shot?
No, I didn't throw it as fast.
It just sounded crazy because it bounced off that.
Damn.
And broke apart when it.
But how fast am I just to move it out of the way?
So it just comes.
No, you did actually have a shield.
I don't know if you got a power up from getting a loot box, but you definitely blocked that picture.
I didn't hit that loot box, did you?
I know I totally dislodged it.
Hilarious.
Okay.
Why did that shit break so easy?
Hilarious.
It was so much fun.
It broke.
So that's crazy.
I'm so glad.
I'm struggling.
I'm so glad it wasn't.
I'm just so glad it wasn't the baseball white nut.
This guy's strong, man.
That's what happens.
I considered that, though.
I considered that monitor would be fine to break.
As long as I hit that monitor.
Did you miss Alan Burbus?
No.
Nah.
I tried to.
My head move it, son.
Come on.
Yeah, you did have a good head movement.
Okay, so back to your story.
Jake Paul.
What historical event would you want to see as a virtual Fortnite?
I want to see that again.
I want to see you.
That would be fire, actually.
Where would I want to go for virtual Fortnite?
Yeah, what event you want historically?
I would like to be at the play where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
Oh, that'd be a fire one.
That'd be sick.
Because you know, there's a few people that play, like, man, this shit is boring.
It's fire.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, they're like, man, something happened, bro.
Why you always bring me this shit?
My girlfriend goes goddamn play.
Can something exciting happen, please?
And then seeing my man make the jump, you're like, yo.
Yeah, that'd actually be sick.
Like that leap from the opera box was probably kind of dope.
Yeah, the parkour front flip.
It was the first parkour.
Yeah, it was a front flip, I think.
That was like next level Matrix, like D.O. Have you seen that?
Oh, that TV's out.
It was kind of the way I thought.
It's a fucking on the album cover now.
It really is, bro.
Damn, bro.
You are influential, Donald Glover.
Yeah, I know.
Thank you, Donald.
Dude, why did it give up now?
Nothing else is happening.
Why the whole shit gave up?
I don't know.
Dude, what a bitch-ass TV.
What is that?
LG?
Because you blasted it.
Let's go.
What did you throw at it?
Lipstick at me.
No, you know, that was lipstick?
Yeah.
Blissx or whatever.
You know what this is?
This is oh, you are good, son.
That's just reminded me of my broken ass TV.
You are good.
So, did we tell that story?
Yeah, yeah, we did it already.
Please, if anybody wants to swap out my TV, fuck with your boy.
I heard there's even more details.
No, I heard Costco can do it.
I heard there's even more details to it.
What?
There's no new shit.
I heard some good old shit, bro.
I heard some good old shit.
Well, Mark, this motherfucker making people do his dirty work.
Oh, you weren't even making the call.
He wasn't even making the call to see if it was good.
That's the idea, guys.
I need to get my TV working.
Oh, yeah.
Somebody make this happen.
You won't let someone else get arrested for you.
This guy's a crazy motherfucker.
Okay.
Anything else from this Fortnite?
Yeah, so the craziest part is that remember you doing karaoke?
Yo, remember you threw a heart thing at me?
Like, you could have bruised my whole head.
You threw it at the mic.
I'm nice.
I made the mic to protect my face.
That's nice, bro.
Son, that was unbelievable timing.
That was destiny.
Thunder.
That's the noise that it made, man.
Thunder, thunda, thunda, okay, go, go, go, go.
So, because they knew that all these Fortnite kids were going to go crazy.
Are you fucking serious?
Yeah, it's kind of hard to count.
I'm the victim.
Look at that mic.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
I just put a little lipstick on it, huh?
Wow.
Nah, you almost took his life.
You see where it hits.
The light spot is where it hit.
We'll see where it hits.
10 on the mic.
That's how hard you threw that.
Damn.
That's not for me.
It hit right here.
It hit right here.
You see the shiny spot is where it hit.
You threw that shit hard.
You almost fixed his nose, bro.
What the fuck?
Dude, that was fucked up.
I would have fixed his nose.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I think it broke it.
You literally dented the whole month.
That shit is actually dented, bro.
I'm glad.
I'm glad that I threw it that hard.
And I wish it hit you.
You should have.
I top.
Yeah, of course you wish it hit him.
It broke your fucking monitor.
That's stupid.
We don't even know if the cameras are on anymore.
Okay, go, go.
The camera might just be facing me.
That's the craziest part of this Fortnite.
Mark's been trying to tell us this for three years.
Before the podcast, he's like, we got to talk about this Fortnite thing.
Go, go, go.
All right.
So because they knew all the kids would be going crazy.
Okay.
Have you ever played like an Xbox Live chat room?
Like, you know, that they need the fucking MLK speech.
But what they did is they took out all the tomato vending machines so you couldn't throw tomatoes.
And then on top of that, they took out most of the dancing emojis, but there's one that they couldn't take off because it was a part of like a DC promotional thing that they were doing.
So they had to keep it on for the month.
And it was Catwoman's Whip.
There's no way.
There's no way.
So while they're doing the MLK speech, there's hundreds of kids running around going, I have a dream, whoopah!
And just smacking whips all over the whole time.
I can't believe it.
It's legit crazy that no one thought that through or they didn't call DC like, yo, maybe it'd be a bad look for the game or the movie if we don't do that.
There's no fucking way.
Shifty, is this real?
Why has Catwoman got a whip?
What does it have to do with cats?
They got long tails.
Yeah, but they don't use them for whipping.
Not yet.
They be swatting flies with them and shit, right?
What?
Long ass tail?
Yeah.
Yeah, you think they have like Wolverine claws or something?
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought that was her shit.
Why does she have a whip?
Gotta have something else, I guess.
What guy is a sexual thing?
Yo, what's the sexiest weapon we could give this girl?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You broke this kid.
What did you do?
What the movie came out?
Catwoman, I guess.
I don't know.
Apparently, they did Catwoman or something.
I didn't hear that.
Yeah, they had a collab with Catwoman.
Oh my gosh.
So they couldn't take off her whip.
So literally, MLK is talking about racial justice.
There's no fucking way, dude.
Yo, Fortnite's kind of lit.
Yo, it's lit, dude.
It's a whole game for kids where you learn how to shoot people and you jump out of a school bus.
Wait, why do you jump out of a school bus?
I don't know.
But that's what they thought kids in America needed.
It's like, yo, let's teach these kids how to shoot people out of a school bus.
We do need that.
Shit is self-defense at a certain point.
Yeah.
So I think they're responsible for all the shootings.
How did I miss this game?
How many buttons you got to use to play?
It's almost double digits, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
If you got to use the ones that switch your thumbs on it at the same time, two joysticks.
Once Halo came out, I was done.
I said, I'm not doing this.
I'm not doing this.
What's a Halo game?
I said, I'm out, bro.
Oh, bro.
That's what I'm saying.
That shit was for IBM.
That came out in 2001.
I was like 16.
I was like, I'm done.
I'm out.
It's over.
I didn't even think I had the joysticks back then.
Nah, you had to use one to move and then one to go up down.
I was like, before 9-11, I think that was Xbox 13.
That's too much.
I don't know why you got to make this a racial thing.
Why'd you guys do that?
I didn't like it.
You know what I mean?
Hey, that's 9-11.
Yeah.
That's not racial.
This guy bringing up 9-11 to me.
You know what I mean?
For what?
Out of nowhere.
Bro, Indians had nothing to do with 9-11.
Yeah, you're not.
How do you not?
You don't know anything about that?
Hey, look.
I'm talking about you, Florida.
That's what I'm saying.
Be sensitive.
Ah, gosh.
Yeah, oh, gosh.
Yeah, it's on you now.
That felt racial to me, too.
Yo, we got to listen to MLK, dude.
Let's get on Fortnite right now.
Can we do the dances?
Never, dog.
Come on.
That shit came out.
We're streaming, bro.
We're streaming.
How old is this game, Chiff?
It came out in like 2017, I think.
Son, I'm 33 years old.
I'm going to play fucking Fortnite.
What was it like?
2017.
Say, what?
It was the biggest game in the world?
Bro, that's where Ninja came from.
Ninja was playing Fortnite.
Yeah, he was.
He was the first nice Fortnite guy.
He hates the scaffolding thing.
Why do you have to build scaffolding?
Yeah, he grew up in New York.
He's like, they're doing construction?
Yeah.
What's what it looked like to me?
Union job.
Yeah, are they getting the rent kickback or something?
Like, they're doing construction on the whole game.
It looks like it's just scaffolding.
Like, you're just building scaffolding and then you get to the top and you jump off.
You're in the training, yeah.
It's just weird.
No, it's like for tactical play.
Like, tactical play.
You got to build and block, and then you can shoot behind them.
Well, why isn't the game building already?
He don't know shit.
He ain't never played Fortnite.
I'm trying to do the mic because he's not on the mic.
You're trying to do the bike.
He's trying to do the bike.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Have you ever played Fortnite?
I played like six times.
I got one Victory Royale, and I was like, I'm done playing.
Oh, yeah.
What is Victory Royale?
That's when you win.
That's when you beat everybody.
You did not win on your sixth attempt.
That's bullshit.
By myself.
What year?
2017.
Okay, it doesn't count.
I don't disagree.
It definitely does not count.
I was also getting coached the whole time.
Like two guys in my ear, like, all right, go this way, do this, grab this box, drop that gun.
And I won.
That's why.
Yeah.
I was on Gamer Sups, bro.
I was on fucking PED.
I took two scoops of Gamer Sups.
I snorted to the face off the toilet seat.
I was going crazy.
Come on, dude.
Allie, you're going to play Fortnite?
Nah.
Definitely not.
Why?
Why not?
I don't catch it.
Son, there's too many joysticks.
Yeah, they're so washed, bro.
Son, that's the old game.
Nobody's even playing Fortnite.
Why don't you play?
Tony Hawk Skateboard Blood00:07:56
Yes, they do.
No.
Third most of the time.
What's that?
Chifty, what is the number one most stream game?
Minecraft.
Yeah, I play Minecraft all day.
And Gears of War.
That's my shit.
Gears of War.
Yep.
What's that about?
I don't know.
I know it's one.
It's a game, right?
No, Gears of War.
Gears of War.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know if that's a big streaming.
Yeah, shut up.
Shift they get out of here.
Here's a war does not have a streaming community.
You gotta play Fortnite now that MLK is in the game.
Nah, I've played it before.
Is he still talking?
It's non-stop.
That's a long-ass speech, bro.
It's a dream.
Hey.
But it's non-stop.
Yeah.
For a little, yeah, and then they'll stop it eventually.
But you can go check that shit out, dude.
Does he get weird for that?
Yeah.
Yeah, you should get paid.
Does he get paid?
Like, what's the rights for it?
Yeah, I don't know who owns the rights to that, but they're getting paid out.
The King Estate, probably.
Okay.
Can I support it?
Say what?
If the estate is getting paid, probably.
I didn't look it up, but I think they got to do that.
In my heart, this is what's happening.
So that's why you got to play, bro.
You got the character on your arm.
How about a rip?
Fortnite.
Yeah, let's play.
Let's play right now.
Fire it up, bro.
No, I've heard of the game.
I saw it.
I've seen the guys doing it.
They got the big fucking costumes on and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if you're thinking of Fortnite, bro.
Yeah, everybody.
You're thinking of Renaissance fair.
Oh, yeah.
You're the only thing of Guar.
Are you thinking of Guar?
That's what you're thinking about.
I don't know.
Single Guar song.
I know exactly what they look like.
Yeah.
This is an old rock band for me.
Way before Mark's time.
No clue how he knows.
Okay.
We got to have Malcolm X and Fortnite, though.
We're going to do Malcolm X and Fortnite.
He's going to be a little bit more.
I would be fired up about that.
That's what I'm saying.
He's like, yo, we're fucking up these white liberals.
I'll be like, let's run Nat Turner.
Yeah.
Yo, show up to the Nat Turner for him.
I'll go to that one 100%.
Hell's yeah.
MLK's sick, but like, that's not the right vibe.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You know, you need that old shit.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Or like some French thing.
Like, what's a good French one?
The beheading of Marie Antoinette.
Yeah, the beheading of Marie and Antoinette.
Yeah, that'd be kind of fun.
Rose Pierre popping off.
That'd be sick.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, dude.
Get out there in Euro, dude.
Call that shit Fort Skin by steel dick.
Such a long setup.
I know a lot of Nirvana friends.
I was like, what for?
The most wild setup ever.
Which I think that's why French people aren't circumcised.
Because people always say it looks like slugs, but French people eat slugs.
Ah.
So I think they like it for that reason.
They just might be.
It also smells like slugs.
Okay.
Now, guys, we could talk about Tony Hawk's blood skateboard or the baby from Nirvana.
Best joke about the baby from Nirvana suing Nirvana.
You heard about this.
The baby from the Nevermind album is suing the Nirvana estate for like, you know, child exploitation or something.
They call it child pornography.
So I'm glad you explained that.
I thought the baby was doing a collab with Nirvana.
It's a story like that.
You remember the Nevermind in the cover of the video?
It's a baby.
There's a Nirvana outcome.
Now, this is iconic.
It's a little kid in a pool.
He's like, yo, if you're in the pool, put your lighters on.
I don't even know who Nirvana is.
Shut up.
You know, Nirvana.
I probably have heard a song.
I cannot identify them.
Yeah, you know it's a band.
So their first, maybe their second album, but their big album is A Baby in a Pool.
The guy killed himself.
Was he part of that band?
Yes, but he went solo.
He split?
No, he died while he was in the street.
He died while he was leading.
Oh, okay.
Their big album cover is a baby in a pool, naked, chasing a dollar.
Holy fucks, white bitches don't know who Nirvana is.
So you think my bitches know Nirvana?
I fuck different type of bitches, baby.
Every type of white bitch, yes.
And they all know the North.
Al's black, dude.
He doesn't know anything about white stuff.
Exactly.
Or black stuff.
Yeah, I'll Puerto Rican.
All right, finish the explain.
Anyway, there's a baby on the cover.
Baby's on the cover.
He's naked, and he's chasing like a dollar bill on a fishing pole, fishing hook, or whatever.
But it's this iconic cover.
There's a dollar floating in the pool.
He's in the pool.
The shot is under the water, and he's like reaching for the dollar.
Okay.
But you see, the baby's like butt-naked.
So now he's suing Nirvana for child exploitation, like the estate.
Yeah, you see that?
Never seen that in my life.
That's stopping.
I swear to God.
There's no way.
Swear to God.
Hilarious.
Everybody else who's listening that knows exactly what we're talking about.
I apologize for wasting your fucking time.
There's Matt Bilinsky had this joke that was really funny.
He goes, that baby's still chasing the dollar.
Yeah.
I thought that was the best joke about it, right?
It's like he's still trying to.
Yeah, he's still trying to get that money.
Bro, you were a hater, dude.
Shouldn't he sue his mom?
Yeah, technically.
Like, his mom sold the picture.
Yeah.
His mom exploited the baby.
I guess they're also exploiting the baby with the permission of the mom.
Yes.
Mom doesn't have any money.
And here's what bothers me: I think the guy has done appearances.
I'm looking through the article, but I saw a thing that said, like, he's done appearances as the baby.
He's made money off of being that baby.
He's done dozens of recreations of the and now you want to sue because you're like, yeah, but I guess it was weird.
It was weird.
That stimulus running out, bro.
Yeah.
It's also weird that you did it for money.
Like, get a fucking job, bro.
Yeah.
That's weird.
I mean, it sucks that your dang-a-lang is all like on display, but it's like your baby dangling.
Yeah, it's your baby dang.
You don't know what they grew into.
Like, yeah.
I bet he got a hog.
I'm totally fine with my baby dang-a-lang being shown.
As long.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yours?
Are you sure?
Yeah, my baby dangle.
Like, whatever.
I'd put a baby dangle in picture up.
I'd put a baby dangle lang picture up of my kids.
All right, that's good.
You proud.
I would.
Of your own kids.
What do you mean?
I posted a baby dangling picture.
I put on the story.
Maybe not a post.
I put on a story.
That's going to live forever, bro.
Say what?
That's going to live forever.
Put on a story 24 hours with a swipe up.
Yeah, they got it.
OnlyFans.
Yo, come on, son.
Anything else?
Maybe the Tony Hawk skateboard thing?
We can also hit it on Patreon.
Oh, yeah.
I think that shit is basically Tony Hawk did a skateboard with blood.
And they took some of his blood and they put it into these limited edition skateboards or whatever.
It's weird.
He mixed it with the paint, right?
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
But like, and then everybody's making this big comparison to Lil Nas X. Like, why when Lil Nas X did it, it's fucked up.
And when Tony Hawk did it, it's not fucked up.
You made that whole post.
Who did?
Lil Nas X. You Lil Nas X really leaned.
Can you guys be honest?
Like, it wasn't the blood.
It was just something else.
What was it?
Yeah, I mean, they do hate you because you're gay.
Yeah.
But the excuse you gave them wasn't the blood.
It was the devil.
Yeah.
You gave, like, Lil Nas X gave them the out by talking about the devil and devil worship and all this other stuff.
And I don't think it was the blood that was in these sneakers that he was selling.
It was the devil that was in these sneakers that he was saying.
It feels like blood.
Plus blood.
But the blood means nothing.
If he was like, hey, here's still a devil sneaker.
And then all these Christians that saw their kids listening to Old Town Road.
And now they're like, oh shit, that guy is not only gay, but he's also saying devil worshiping.
I'm going to twerk on the devil and blah, blah, blah.
Boom, exactly.
So I think that he's this is this is kind of unfair and he he knows it, but you got to keep marketing shit and drumming up entertainment.
But it's not about blood.
It's just about the devil.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For religious folks.
Skateboarding kids, they're bleeding.
Like, that's part of the allure of it, I guess.
It's like, oh, this guy bled.
This guy bleeds.
That's what you do in this sport.
Yeah.
Music.
You're not, there's no blood involved.
There's no injuries involved.
It's a whole different thing.
And you got sued because it was Nike and you're taking a Nike sneaker and putting blood on it.
And they're like, what the fuck?
We didn't give you this permission.
That's how you got sued.
It's a fucking corporate thing.
Yeah.
And if the company, I'm assuming Tony Hawk's skateboard company is like, yeah, do that with our.
Yeah, absolutely.
We would love to do this with you.
If there was a Nike collab where they had blood in the sneaker, he's not getting sued because it's a Nike collab.
Nike might catch some backlash, but that's because the devil shit again.
Yeah.
Lil Nas X have a sneaker with his gay ass.
Nobody cares.
Yeah.
I'd buy it.
That's great.
Yeah.
But even in the midst of this, he had such a good comeback that became like internet lore.
That the whole nah he tweaking.
Nah He Tweaking00:01:21
Yeah.
Why did this become such a big old shit?
I guess like his influence.
So like basically the rap, I'm pretty sure it was the rap Instagram account just rap posted the link and then he just comments under it goes nah he tweaking.
Yeah.
And then just got crazy upvotes.
I think they pinned it and then everyone was just like, oh, we're flooding all the comments with nah he tweaking.
And now every time anybody does anything weird, it's like nah he tweaking.
Yeah, for the next like week.
Yeah.
But it's like, one, it just shows his influence.
That like he posts some catchy shit.
One, he's able to think of like a funny response.
Yeah.
And that's like sort of self-factualizing and ironic.
And then the fact that all these kids and like internet kids or like Instagram kids are picking it up being like, yo, we're going to comment on everything, flood the comments.
Like, to me, I was like, oh, that's actually a pretty cool way for him to take this moment that's not about him and then galvanize it to bring it back on it.
Right.
Smart.
So I was actually fairly impressed with that.
And I also thought that was like a funny response.
Yeah.
No, he's interesting.
He knows how to market.
I just think it's a little unfair to compare the two.
Yeah.
And I think he knows it.
I think, like you said, he recognizes like, he'll drum it up.
He knows what the fuck he's doing.
Yeah.
All right, boys.
I think that that's an episode.
Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
We love y'all.
We appreciate y'all.
We'll see you on Patreon this Friday.
And anything else before we get out of here, boys?
