Eddie Murphy's Improv Bombing00:14:35
This fucked up to admit, but I'm like, I got to see a Travis Scott concert.
How is nobody killed this fucking guy?
I'll say it, but I need you to bleep this one.
I'll bet a Bitcoin on that.
Let's bet a Bitcoin.
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to Flagrant 2.
Your boy Shelti is back.
I'm here with Akash saying.
We got Mark Gagnon in the motherfucking building.
The truffle.
Miles ain't even on camera, but that motherfucker's here.
Vala, Chifty in the back.
I just want to say right now, this is our second time recording the intro because I didn't go hard in the paint enough.
Okay.
Acting sucks.
I miss a few podcasts because I was acting.
That will never happen again.
It is not worth it.
Okay.
I asked to be in this movie.
I asked to be in this movie because my comedy hero is in the movie.
Eddie Murphy is in the movie.
I know I said on a Patreon episode, and there's a few of you on the Patreon.
Here comes Hippocrates.
I said acting is the worst fucking thing.
You should never do it.
I was right.
100%.
I was right.
But I started comedy because when I was a fucking child, I listened to Eddie Murphy on a cassette tape with my father.
We were sitting on a bed and he was doing his like, you know who would be a funny F-word?
You know what I mean?
You just bleep it.
Ralph Murphy.
Yeah, yeah, the Ralph.
Humming up, humming, humming, humming up, right?
And it was the funniest thing in the fucking world.
Mr. T was gay.
Yeah.
You know, clinch my butt cheek, snap your dick off.
Yeah.
Like, and I saw my dad crying, laughing, and I was like, oh my God, comedy is the shit.
I got to be funny.
I want my dad to laugh when I say things.
And I promise you, from that moment on, I valued humor in a different way.
Yeah.
I get the opportunity to be in a movie with Eddie Murphy.
I was cool enough.
I had a cool enough relationship with Kenya Barris, who's the director.
I hit him up and I was like, yo, put me in this movie.
And he was like, bet, right?
Yeah.
And I'm in it.
And fuck, man.
Thank you, Kenya, so much.
I really appreciate the opportunity.
Kenny seems great.
I wish he said no.
I wish you rejected me.
I wish you said you're not right for this movie because I'm not.
I'm not right for you.
Why are you not?
I'm not good at acting.
I'm not good at acting.
This is good.
I'm not good at acting.
Wait, wait, wait.
And let me just.
Can we talk about what happened?
Can you tell us?
I'm going to say everything.
I'm going all in.
Okay.
I'm not invited back to set.
Listen, not only is it Eddie Murphy, right?
Eddie Murphy's enough.
This is the movie that I just asked to be in, and then they said yes, stupidly.
They just said yes.
Yeah, right.
It's Eddie Murphy.
Jonah Hill's the star.
Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Elaine.
Elaine on that show.
What was that show?
The best show ever.
And I got a great Elaine show.
A story.
Oh, my God.
Mike Epps, who's a legend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike Epps is the fucking man.
Dude, Mike Epps turned the whole set around.
Yeah.
Like, he came in his trailer.
He's got music blasting, weed smoke coming out of it.
Like, it's a nightclub, his fucking trailer.
We're all in this dinner scene.
I'm sitting next to Elliot Gould, the old guy from Oceans 11, 12, 13, legendary actor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm sitting next to him.
He's talking to me about life, like, going deep about life.
I'm trying to memorize this thing that I got to say.
And he's like, you know, the most important thing is being present.
I'm like, motherfucker, I'm thinking about 15 minutes right now.
Okay.
I got to focus.
Shit needs to get done so I don't get thrown off this goddamn movie.
Mike Epps comes down.
He's so loose, so chill, cracking jokes.
He's making Eddie laugh.
Nobody is engaged with Eddie because everybody's so terrified of Eddie, right?
And myself included.
But Mike Epps is busting balls, making jokes.
Like, Eddie's in the middle of his fucking monologue that he's taking very seriously.
Eddie's just popping one-liners in.
Like, cutting off the fucking GOAT.
That is unbelievable.
And being funny about it.
Yeah.
At one point when we stopped down this big dinner scene, Epps is sitting like across from Elaine, from Julie Louie Dreyfus.
And he goes, he goes, hey, so what's it like working with Tracy Morgan?
What?
What?
Because it's obvious who she worked with.
No.
Oh.
Yes.
He thought she was Tina Faye.
Bro, I fucking lost it, fam.
I lost it.
I lost it, bro.
I'm not even, I thought he was doing some shit you would do.
I'm not gonna give Seinfeld no credit.
No.
Oh, my God.
I never saw that.
I thought it was Tina Fay, deadass.
You probably thought she wrote the movie.
100%.
It was unbelievable how like.
I can stay on a 30-rock project.
She kind of started to realize it and then was just like, she didn't say nothing.
I haven't actually, I don't think I've worked with him in a while or something like that.
She was like very polite and professional about it.
Yeah, yeah.
She's a hoss, bro.
She's a beast.
You can see who's a beast.
Anybody who's on the greatest show of all time, Seinfeld?
All right, has to be a beast.
David Dooley.
Is that what bothers you about Seinfeld?
Fucking X-Files was there, boy.
Is what bothers you about Seinfeld is he makes acting look so easy and then you go in there and stumble through a scene like a fucking retard?
Dude, I did stumble through a scene and I fucked up a scene with Eddie.
I had a scene with Eddie.
And Kenny, I think I've told you this, okay?
And first of all, okay, I'll tell you why I was completely shell-shocked.
I probably told a couple of you this already, but I'm going to tell the people at home you guys deserve to understand.
Okay, you guys know my pain.
I'm so fucking excited.
Dub is so anxious.
I'm so fucking excited to even see Eddie Murphy.
Okay.
I saw his stunt double and I got excited because the stunt double looks like him, obviously, but like even in the face down to the goatee, right?
And I and I was like getting nervous on how to approach the stunt double.
He was just sitting across from me.
This is like an hour.
And I finally said something to him.
And then he like...
What's he like looking like Eddie Murphy?
No, I thought it was Eddie.
You might guess him.
Yes.
And that's something you cannot fuck up.
Yeah.
Like, because that's the one time it's like, you do look alike.
Yeah.
Right?
It's the one time it's okay.
You're just fine, right?
So I'm in this basically first day.
We're all seated across from one another.
And, yo, shout out to Jonah Hill because Jonah Hill is like, he's the star of the movie.
And like, he's just kicking it with us.
We're the guys in his bachelor party, right?
And he's just kicking with us.
Like, he don't have to.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, he don't have to.
And he was kicking with us and like creating a vibe and trying to make people comfortable.
And I appreciate that.
Like that.
For sure.
You don't have to do that.
Yeah.
You got lines.
You got to memorize.
You got, you are carrying the movie.
You could be in your head.
A lot of stress.
Yes.
So, but we're all kicking.
It's fun.
Keep in mind, it was a walking scene.
There's no lying.
But still, he was being very good.
It was a walking scene.
But you got to make choices when you walk.
How you going to walk?
Right?
What's the deal with Buck?
All right.
So, so, so we're all sitting.
It's like four of us on this side, four of us on this side.
Sam J is in the movie.
Love Sam Jay.
Young Taco, you know, Travis.
Yeah.
Really funny kid.
Good kid.
He's in the movie.
There's like a really great cast.
You are so Hollywood.
My boy BG, Brian Greenberg.
How to Make It America.
How to Make It America.
He's great.
Jordan first, but like, dude, there's people who are really talented, far more talented than me in this movie, okay?
And that sucks when you're sitting there knowing it.
Yes.
And your line's coming up, like, oh boy, I'm about to tank this scene.
Ruin it for everyone.
When you bomb on stage by yourself, it's on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But when you bring a scene to a screeching halt in front of Eddie Murphy, dog, like, it's crazy.
Okay.
So anyway, first time I meet Eddie Murphy, we're sitting down.
Four people on this side, four people on this side.
Sorry, three people on this side.
One empty chair.
All of a sudden, the GOAT walks in.
Eddie Murphy walks in.
Fuck yo.
Sits down.
Okay.
Now, before he comes in, I'm trying to rile everybody up.
I know I'm with like Hollywood folks, so I'm asking them things like, you know, do you recognize Taiwan?
Like, I'm just trying to get everybody uncomfortable because that's just how I know how to, you know, socialize.
Bully.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Actors socialize differently.
They socialize through acting.
Like, so they'll like make a fake scenario and then like play in it.
So they'll be like, oh yeah, actually, like, I lost my leg in the war.
Oh, yeah, which war was it?
And they'll do like the improv games, but like for fun.
That's so awful.
It's odd.
It's super peculiar, but it really helps in terms of when you got to do the acting.
I mean, comics do the same thing, right?
But do they?
You hate with comics, but I mean like they're just making jokes and like tagging up jokes.
Yeah, but jokes are like those.
I don't like that.
That's just how comics are.
No, no, I don't like that.
I always feel weird with that.
I'm like, what are we doing?
Like, making fun of somebody or justifying something awful.
Yeah.
But the thing where we like play the game, we're like, I'm a pilot.
Oh, yeah, you are.
You're a pilot.
It's just weird for me.
I don't know how to do it.
I don't know how to do it.
But it helps them be better actors.
They're practicing.
They're warming up.
And it must work.
Okay.
Right.
I'm trying to do it.
I don't know how to do it.
Yep.
Do you know what I mean?
They're setting up these little scenarios.
Like, yeah, so New York, you know, you grew up.
Like, what was it like?
Like, seeing crack addicts all the time.
And I'm like, Taiwan.
I don't know what to say.
Right?
You recognize Taiwan or not?
Trans people.
How do you feel about that?
Right.
So this is what I get the group discussing Chappelle's the closer and asking what their opinions on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're discussing it.
Everybody's discussing.
We're having this conversation.
It's cool.
Everything's interesting.
Boom.
Everything's fun.
All of a sudden, Eddie comes in, everybody silent.
I mean, Voldemort entered the motherfucking room.
I mean, there's not a single fucking voice.
It's a casino.
I don't even think the slot machines was wrong.
Like, you didn't hear nothing when this guy walked in.
It was unbelievable.
And he sits down and I'm like, okay, I got to break the ice.
So I lock in the sentence in my head, right?
I go, I'm going, hey, Eddie, what do you think about trannies?
That was what I was going to say.
Okay.
That's what I was going to say.
Eddie, what do you think about training?
I'm like, it's going to break the ice.
He's going to know we're comedians.
He's going to laugh a little bit and then give his opinion on the Chappelle thing because he knows what's going on.
And then a second before, the sentence is locked in my head, right?
Ready to go.
Ready to go, right?
The second before I say it, I remember that a few decades ago, he picked up a trans prostitute and got the trans prostitute got arrested when he was out for a ride and whatever.
Back before it was like acceptable to do that.
Bro.
And he got fucking dragged for it.
He got dragged.
Dragged.
Get it?
Yes, I got that like the pun intent.
And so I don't say that because that would have obviously ruined it.
But once you lock in a sentence and then you can't say it, you got nothing left.
I haven't said anything since.
I haven't said anything since.
I just look at him.
I stare at him like a baby.
I'm like a newborn baby.
I've heard that's Eddie's.
I've heard that about Eddie and Michael Jordan.
When they sit anywhere, even if it's other famous people, everything stops and everybody looks at them.
You just stop.
You look at him.
I was listening to him have a conversation.
He's not even talking to me.
Yeah.
Whenever he said something kind of funny, I would laugh.
I'm not even in the conversation.
He's having a private conversation.
And he's like, yeah, it's just like when the motor turns on and then he starts acting out the motor.
And I'm like, just sitting across from him, like laughing awkwardly at this.
So I'm like frozen out from that.
And that I didn't know what the fuck to do.
That was kind of a wild experience.
And then after that, bro, we had one scene and I had one line and it was a little bit, I didn't know how to get it out.
I didn't even know what it meant.
I didn't even know what the line meant.
I didn't know how to get it out.
This is on me.
I should have found a way to fucking deliver it.
I'm saying a line to Eddie.
I said a line to him once.
He tried to like improv back with me once, but it was so weird.
He was like, wait, improv back.
So you improv?
No, the line was like kind of like the director was really great.
He gave me a line in a scene that I didn't have a line.
He's been really awesome to me.
Kenya's been awesome.
And I said the line to your Eddie and I say the line to you, right?
And let's say the line is, well, I'm going to go get some paper.
You want to go get some paper?
Let's get some paper.
Let's say that's a line.
And he just looks at me.
He goes, yeah.
Bro, bro.
I asked Jonah.
I asked Jonah, right?
I'm struggling.
I'm fucking feeling hot.
I got sweat dripping down my body.
There's fucking sluts everywhere, dude.
I'm wheezing.
We're in a strip club.
There's strippers everywhere.
There's girls, tits, ass, asses, clopping everywhere.
It's already an anxious scene.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, I'm getting married in a few weeks.
You know what I mean?
I got surrounded by sluts.
Fucking Eddie Murphy right across from me, right?
I'm bombing this fucking line.
He just said, Yeah, and then he stopped and nothing else.
And then, Cut, can you try it again?
You know, they're never like, they don't tell you.
Nobody's ever nice to you.
No one's ever like real with you on a set.
Like, they always go, Great, great.
But can you try it?
That means horrible.
Great, great.
But can you just try like a you sound like dove?
That's a dove move right there.
Bro, it was LA, baby.
Dev is Hollywood.
He gets it.
24 hours before this, Andrew was in his head.
Eddie Murphy was joining the infamous tour.
Like, we're going vacation with Eddie.
Like, this is what he did the movie for.
100%.
24 hours before.
100%.
I was thinking he was going to be a pop-in, guaranteed.
Radio City Music Hall, Eddie Murphy's going to be there.
He's going to do stand-up for the first time.
There's no chance.
There's no chance.
There's no, dude, the way that I delivered this line, I think he was like, comedy's dead.
I think he felt in that moment.
I asked Jonah for help.
I asked Jonah Hill for help with the line.
I was like, dude, do you have any like advice on this line?
I'm kind of struggling.
He goes, he goes, yeah, just don't say it so people turn off the movie immediately.
He's like, I go, he goes, he goes, could you try to say it in a way where they just don't stop streaming the movie immediately?
Like, see the way you're saying it now?
Like, the way you're saying it now, they'll just stop the movie.
And then he just is, he's, dude, he's on a run.
He said you're getting bullied by the game.
I'm getting bullied.
So I was getting bullied by him, bro.
I was getting bullied by him.
And I don't even know what's going on because it doesn't click at first because I'm like, he's not going to bully me, right?
I'll body slam this kid, right?
And then he kept on going in.
He's like, yeah, yeah.
So you just say it so it doesn't suck.
Like, you know how you were saying it where it sucks?
Try not doing that.
Like, I mean, like, hammer after hammer.
There's sluts everywhere.
They're like, stop twerking.
They're just seeing me get fucking bullied, right?
Like, I honestly didn't know how to talk for like 24 hours after that.
I was super nervous, bro.
You should have slapped Jonah just to get you back.
I almost had to.
I almost had to.
If you go back there, you got to slap him in the mouth.
Son, I had a couple of Eddie.
I had to just to get the respect back.
Just to get the respect back.
Comedy's not dead.
You're fucking right.
The king is here.
You're fucking.
Yo, it's Game of Thrones.
You did the walk of shame, Cersei, like the bitch that you are, Cersei.
And now you got to get your dick back, dog.
Slap that motherfucker in his mouth.
Wait, that was day one?
Day one, dude.
All right.
Johnny ain't been back since.
Ain't no day two.
I was broken after day one.
Absolute fever drugs.
I sent us a four-minute Patreon question the next day.
Yeah, two takes.
I needed two takes.
Still needed two takes.
You look at yourself in the mirror.
You're like, oh, good, good.
Can we try that again?
I just needed another one.
Bro, it is a hard ass.
Hey, this acting shit.
Son, you're just sitting there.
You have no clue if it's good, if it's bad.
Like, I knew it was bad, but like, you just have no clue.
They knew it was bad.
Felipe Delivers Cream Ice Cream00:04:55
Remember, Eddie let you know.
Eddie let you know.
Jonah let you know.
Said, I did one take with him while he was there, and then the next day he just left.
I didn't even have to stun though.
I had a chair.
They were just like, look here for eyeline.
And I was like, all right.
I mean, at least his chair don't look disappointed.
His chair.
His chair don't look at me like there's no point in him being there.
Am I wasting his time?
That's a, I mean, whatever.
Acting sucks.
Is this how you imagine meeting your childhood?
It sucks when you suck at acting, dude.
Oh, my God.
You probably dreamed of meeting your childhood hero a lot, right?
Say what?
You probably dreamed of meeting your childhood hero a lot, right?
How did you think it was going to go?
You just thought.
No, I thought it was going to go different.
Don't ever meet your.
You know what I say?
Never meet your heroes.
Really?
It's don't let them meet you.
Don't let them meet you because they'll be disappointed.
Because this was a big deal for him.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, this is a big deal for him.
I'm sure he's heard.
He's probably heard of you.
He probably heard of you.
You don't think he heard of Andrew Schultz?
It's theAndrew Schultz of theandreSchultz.com of Andrew Schultz is Lagar 2.
That's a fact.
Let me tell you something.
Hollywood don't even know anything exists outside of Hollywood.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can do it.
I know there's Hollywood doesn't know anything exists outside of Hollywood.
That is the most important thing in the world.
And once you're in that world, you realize why they act this way.
Like, you guys, why they have like these kind of like warped opinions.
Like, if everybody just kissed your ass all day and nobody gave you any pushback, you're just going to start saying anything that seems kind of good or right.
Let's help the environment.
Let's do an environmental march.
How are we going to get there with our private planes?
Yeah.
But they won't register that.
Nobody will even go, well, maybe you shouldn't take the private plane because the emissions from the private nobody says no.
Yeah, whatever that shit is.
Carbon footprint?
Is that it?
Nobody ever says.
Son, what am I?
Eddie Murphy?
You can't say the fucking line to me, bro.
I'm fucking around.
I'd be nervous around him.
Yo, can you also say the story about the other comedian that was on set?
What happened?
What happened last night?
Felipe Esparza.
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Felipe Esparza, if you guys don't know, he's very funny.
Oh, yeah, he is very funny.
It's funny that you said that.
After I bombed the fuck out of my line, right?
And they brought Eddie back in reluctantly.
They brought him back in.
And keep in mind, all he has to do is look at me and sluts all around him.
And he was still like, fuck this.
I'd rather be in my trailer with no sluts than watching this guy just mumble through his fucking line.
Oh, fuck.
Felipe Esparza has one line, right?
He comes in and he goes, It's fucking, it's great.
He comes in and he's, I don't want to, I don't know how much I can give away.
He just has a line, right?
Can I give away the line?
Fuck it.
Whatever.
And he goes, he comes in.
He goes, Thank you for the edible arrangements.
Right?
That's really funny.
And with his accent and he's awesome, dude.
He's just fucking so funny.
And go check out Felipe, funny dude.
Stand-up comic.
And he comes in, bro.
He comes in, delivers a line.
The first time he delivers it, delivers it to Jonah.
Eddie's next to Jonah.
And they say, cut.
And Eddie looks at Felipe Esparza.
He goes, man, you are one funny motherfucker.
Andrew Mullen jumped off the building at that.
Oh, my God.
I watched you with my father.
I mean, listen to you.
I listened to you with my father on consent.
Oh, fuck.
Dude, it was unbelievable.
I wish that you all were there.
I wish you guys were just there supporting me so you can see it happen.
Oh, just watch me crumble, dude.
You thought we were going to support you?
No, After that, they'd be like, who are you here with?
I'm a Jonah Hill.
Yeah, I mean, I'm a Jonah Hill.
I'm here with Felipe, dude.
Oh, my God.
Fuck, dude.
It was a brutal experience, man.
It was a brutal experience.
Hey, yo, acting is hard.
Yeah, dude.
Don't put me in your movies.
Dove is losing his mind.
Don't put me in your movies, man.
I get it.
Don't put me in your movies, dude.
It was a great experiment.
I'm going to suck.
I'm going to suck.
You had to go back to your hotel room alone.
Oh, you had to go back to my hotel room.
I went to, I walked up a hill to a gas station and bought an ice cream cookie sandwich that was dipped in chocolate.
Oh, I've done that.
Yeah, I've done that.
That's my biggest bomb ever.
I took down a whole pine ice cream.
Okay.
I looked at the pint and I was like, no.
And I got an ice cream cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream that was dipped in chocolate.
And I ate it so strategically.
Oh, yeah.
You know, saving that last dip chocolate bit from the end.
Yeah, you prepared for it.
Kind of like you wish you prepared for your line.
I do.
I think I wish I prepared for the line.
Dude, at one point, at one point, I asked the script supervisor.
This is the person that makes sure you say the line the same way every time.
I just, I couldn't get the line out.
At this point, Eddie's not even looking at me, right?
It's like, and listen, let me tell you something.
Toronto Show Ticket Rush00:06:31
It's not like he has his phone or anything.
He's just purposely not looking at me.
He's like, I think he thinks I'm making him nervous or something.
I'm pretty sure.
Some shit.
Who knows?
Oh my God.
And I just go, I go, what's the line?
And I hear her go, I literally hear her go.
She's far away.
And I hear her go, You almost went full Alec Baldwin, huh?
You know what?
Hot gun on.
This is how it happens.
Son, this is how it happens.
My girl saw Alec Baldwin like an hour ago.
On my way here, she texted me.
She saw an old guy.
She's walking like somewhere.
Saw an old guy dropped something, couldn't pick it up, picked it up for him.
He said, thank you very much.
He says, thanks.
Doesn't think anything of it.
Everybody's turning around staring at him.
She looks is Alec fucking Baldwin.
What did he drop?
Sunglasses.
Really?
Sunglasses.
Probably to hide his identity.
He said he seemed like a nice enough guy.
She said, thank you very much.
And she didn't think anything.
Let me tell you Alec Baldwin, though.
These famous people, when they get canceled, become the nicest people.
I love canceled people.
Once they're fit, they become so good.
They're so kind to you.
I'm telling you, everybody that I've ever met that has been canceled has been the sweetest version of themselves.
It allows you to access the better part of you.
If you were a scumbag, if you were a scumbag comedian, if you were scumbag, and I'm talking about amongst other comedians, if you were a scumbag actor, any of these things, the cancellation humbles you.
It's beautiful.
You become the best version of you.
It's maybe you got canceled because it's balance.
Yeah.
I'm pro-cancellation.
You're pro-cancel culture.
You and Cat Williams unflipped.
Yeah, we flipped it.
No, no, no.
Now, fuck, fuck the cancer culture, but it does make you a very humble person.
Like, he's, I mean, he still won't pick up his glasses.
He'll make a minority do it, but he still is.
He still saw his glasses and he was like, oh, there's a brown person here.
They'll help me out.
I'll say thank you very much.
As opposed to, hi, Hilaria.
I'm going to be honest with you.

Another big announcement.
Very important.
Toronto, we come in.
Toronto, we are coming.
We are coming.
We were supposed to play Massey Hall in Toronto, which is an iconic venue in Toronto.
But these fucking pussies at the venue were scared.
They were scared.
They were scared.
They said, oh, we can't have this show.
We had all contracts done, everything.
Our board, we got some new board directors.
We don't want any controversy.
We're a little bit nervous.
We're a little bit worried.
He could say some offensive things.
Canada, you know what we said?
We said, fuck it.
We're going to go to a bigger venue.
Okay.
If you're not going to have us at the small event, we're going to go to an even bigger venue because this is what the people need.
Okay.
The people don't need you fucking coddling them.
Cut that Canadian bullshit out.
We're going to the Meridian.
Okay.
We're going to Meridian Hall, Toronto, Canada, March 5th.
We are coming out there.
And that's just going to be what it is.
And now it's going to be extra flagrant.
Now I got to be extra flagrant.
I can't believe Massey Hall.
You guys should, honestly, you guys should just ban.
What is it?
Cancel Massey Hall or Macy Hall or whatever the fuck you pronounce it.
Literally boycott that shit.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe they would cancel a show.
They're a little bit worried after the whole Chappelle thing.
They think that we're just going to go up there and say trans jokes the whole fucking time.
Not going to happen.
Okay.
Well, actually, it might now.
That's what I was going to say.
It might now.
But now, we take it to an even bigger venue.
Meridian Hall, Toronto, Canada.
That's March 5th.

She just saw, she got a soft spot for older people anytime.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah, and he was like struggling and she was like, oh, of course.
If it was a 35-year-old white guy, no chance.
Not a fucking chance.
Pick it up.
If it was you, yeah, no chance.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
Pick it up for me.
Dude, I asked my girl for Tylenol last night.
She was like, Yeah, it's in the kitchen.
It described where it was.
I go, babe, do we have any Tylenol?
Which is get me some fucking Tylenol in like nice fiancé language, right?
It means get me some fucking Tylenol.
My head is hurting from making money.
Okay, my head hurts for making us all the goddamn money.
Okay, and I said, Do you know where the Tylenol is?
Right?
Which means get the fuck up off this big up California king bet, California King.
You never hang off the end of it.
Yo, son, ever.
Bro, you done did it.
California King?
California King.
Okay?
Where's the Tylenol?
And where's it in your cabinet?
That's what she said.
Oh, is it?
Oh, is that where it is?
Okay, why don't you inch yourself off the end of this bed, which might take a fucking while because California King, longer, not wider, like you're bully.
You know what I'm saying?
And give me some goddamn Tylenols, please.
Do you know what I mean?
You don't even have a fucking prenup yet.
Stop your good behavior.
You don't even have a prenup.
Why are you playing games right now?
Santa's making a list, all right?
That's how it goes.
Son, you know, if there's no prenup, she just gets half.
Say what?
You know, if there's no prenups, that's what I'm saying.
You should be on good behavior until I get the prenup.
Then fuck it up, fuck it up.
We said, No, I don't have the prenup yet.
He says it's coming.
It might be coming.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like when you know I got the ring, but I haven't proposed.
Okay, I got you now.
Please believe if I had the ring, but I hadn't proposed.
Guess who's gonna be hop skipping and jumping over to get some Tylenol?
Make it cold for Christmas.
Who knows?
Hey, she might be.
What's in the stocking?
What's in the stocking this time?
Oh, goddamn.
So, when you got the Tylenol, huh?
You got the Tylenol?
Yeah.
It's next to some Motrin, some fucking Advil.
I don't know which one to take.
Crawl all the way over there.
Yeah, I got a headache from making all the money.
Pass the fuck out.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm sitting here sunk into this real expensive mattress that I paid for for making all the money.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm running out of making all the money excuses, man.
I'd be bringing that shit up all day.
California King, where's your girl from?
You did that for her.
Yeah.
You did that for her.
Where are you never going back to?
California.
Yeah.
That's another thing I learned.
I can't even mention some shit to my girl no more.
What do you mean?
I can't even think.
I can't even be hypothetical.
I can't be like, I can't say this sentence.
I'd be like, it's kind of nice in California.
I can't even say that.
It's kind of nice in California.
In her mind, means we're moving to California within the year.
Yeah.
And she just starts looking at property.
She tells me, oh, I can't wait to be around my mom.
Like, she just starts saying all these things.
Now I got to pull back and I got to go.
We're never moving in California.
I know.
Curb Style Film Hypotheticals00:03:07
And what sucks is I was looking forward to moving to California, but now that there's no Hollywood opportunities for you ever again, it's over.
We're here.
I'm from LA.
He said, yo, Dub, stop fucking talking about LA around my girl.
I'm like, my family's from, but she can't talk.
She can't talk about it.
Too much homelessness.
That's what it is.
LA is full of homeless.
PTSD, bro.
Yeah.
It's a terrible city.
We don't go there.
By the way, you're fine there tomorrow.
I'm going back to do the rest of the movie tomorrow.
I have one line tomorrow.
Can you run the line by us tomorrow after the podcast?
When I tell you, I'm going to bomb this line, bro.
I'm just going to start speaking Mandarin.
You got to play to your strengths, bro.
That's your issue.
You got to play to your strengths.
Well, I had one thing that was actually fun.
You got to be like, yo, let's do some crowd work.
You got a hit?
Was Eddie there?
Say what?
You got it.
No, no, no.
Everybody had already left.
Were you in your hotel room?
You were saying to the mirror.
Yeah, you were in the shower.
It was a rehearsal dinner, and I got to give a speech.
And I wasn't supposed to, but again, Kenya's been looking out for your boy.
And he was like, hey, you'll give a speech and we'll just put the camera on you and just like make up something.
So it was good.
Yeah.
I don't know if they'll ever leave it in.
And like, they probably shouldn't because I'll be canceled forever.
Yeah.
But I just pretend I'm like my character store in the Capitol.
And I just and the look at all the faithful faces, like these like super liberal Hollywood people, like the people who are like really industry were like, whoa, that was edgy.
You know what I mean?
And then all like the key grips and the light guys were like, man, we like that shit.
Talking about some balance.
I did not see you there.
Recount the votes.
Okay, so that's again.
We're done with the tragic Hollywood story.
Oh my God, man.
That was the best story I've ever heard.
I'll say this.
I think if you're directing a film, if you're writing a film or a movie, like if you're involved in every scene, anything you would be good at.
What is that?
Anything you would be good at.
Well, also, like, brain capacity.
Like, if you're sitting around set for 12 hours, you'll be at 12 to 14 hours and you'll say five lines on camera.
That's rough.
That's rough, especially for us because we work every second of every day.
Yeah.
Right.
So that was hard for me.
But if I was, if I had written the film or I was directing it or something like that and acting in it as well, I think I could do that because every scene matters.
Every scene's important.
Not just scenes with me in it, but just everyone is going to help push the story for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think that I could potentially do that.
Yeah, you know what it does?
Expose?
What?
One, you're not a good actor.
When these actors are like, oh, he had such a wonderful time filming the movie.
No, you didn't.
I'm not a good actor.
I'm a star, bro.
Not that I believe.
You are.
You just put the camera on me, dog.
Yeah.
And we put you on a stage with a microphone magic.
And no other people in it.
Yeah.
I think I'm good at stand-up.
Yeah, that's what it is.
I think I'm good at stand-up.
If there was a movie where I just got to do stand-up, you're good at you.
You're very good at you.
Yeah.
Your show will be a Curb style show if you do one.
Yeah.
Soft scripted.
Because I think the scripted version of him playing a stand-up.
He can't even do one line.
It's a nightmare.
But you getting to be you, you're Larry David.
Let me be me, dog.
I think Mark said it.
You're Larry David, but you know how people watch Kerb and you're like, yo, Larry's right.
People watch you and you're like, this guy is wrong.
Larry David Greatest TV Moments00:03:50
Every time.
That's what it felt.
That's what it felt like.
But that's you.
That's your show.
That is me.
That is my show.
Don't curb your enthusiasm.
Don't curb your enthusiasm.
There you go.
Curb has really become like the new thing where you just go, I want that show.
Yes.
Like everybody describes their show as it's this version of Curb.
Yeah.
It's like Uber.
Like for the longest time, it was like, oh, it's like Uber for weed.
Yeah.
Everything was like Uber in private jets.
You're like, all right.
Everything's Uber.
Really, just one type of comedy show now.
Yeah.
It's Curb.
Yeah.
But black.
Yes.
Curb, but like white rapper guy.
Yeah.
Curb, but that's really interesting.
Like nobody's trying to do like old school.
Nobody's like, it's friends, but right.
It used to be it's friends.
Yeah.
Larry David, Larry Legend.
Yeah.
That's a dream guest here.
Two of the greatest shows of all time.
I mean, that's crazy to create the two greatest TV shows ever.
It's not, they're not even, I mean, they're not the greatest TV shows.
The greatest comedies ever.
But don't say greatest TV shows ever.
It's not even fucking close.
Breaking Bad.
Yeah.
Seinfeld.
Breaking Bad, no, no.
Curb.
Breaking Bad, Curb.
Seinfeld.
Where's Game of Thrones?
Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones.
Yeah, up until the last one.
Last one dropped down the show.
It was crazy.
Game of Thrones.
Yeah.
His first mile talk.
First mile contribution.
First miles contribution.
You know what's crazy about Game of Thrones?
I think he talked over him anyway.
I know.
I know.
He nearly got it.
He leaned over to the mic, too.
He really committed.
Perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Game of Thrones, man.
Game of Thrones is a fucking crazy show.
It's really interesting because you can be progressive in pockets.
Like I'm watching it now.
The girls in the first few seasons are just getting fucking raped.
Oh, yeah.
There's no consensual sex for the first three seasons.
Yes.
And then every girl character in the show just becomes this beast.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Rape is the gateway drug in Game of Thrones.
Rape is the gateway drug to royalty.
To royalty and to greatness.
That's, I think, what the guy's, what is his name?
The guy who wrote Game of Thrones?
Oh, J.R. Tarling.
Martin or whatever.
No, no, no, Martin.
Tolkien's the other nerd.
Yeah.
Lord of Rape.
But like, you'd think a guy like that would have a lot of animosity to women, right?
He's like a short, fat troll guy, not very good looking.
Like, you'd think he would write all these female characters to be like, you know, just obsessed with money or, you know, they just want to marry the richest guy, whatever.
But he actually writes like the best female characters.
Yeah.
Victims to victors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They do that well.
It's a good arc.
I'm curious about that.
Like most losers hate women because women are that source of rejection for them.
Yeah.
But he clearly doesn't.
I mean, he lets him get raped a couple times.
But you know, it's interesting.
He makes sure of it.
He writes it in.
And then by the end, detailed, too.
Yeah, detailed every single time.
By the end of all of their arcs, you're like, this bitch got to die.
This is a problem.
You can't give her.
You shouldn't give her no power.
Yeah.
If you think about it, they ascend, ascend, ascend, and then when they get power, you're like, yo, this is, get this bitch out of here.
Got you.
It's too much power.
Yeah.
So he wants you to be strong to a point.
Yes, that's a good point.
Except Sansa.
They let Sansa have some power.
You're right about that.
I forgot about that.
Redheads.
Yeah.
Yeah, but she went through hell.
She went through the worst hell.
Whoa, Sansa?
Whoa, Are you talking about Ramsey Bolton or Ramsey Bolton?
Ramsey and then what's her name before?
Joffrey before?
Yeah, Joffrey was a wild little boy.
Yeah.
That's a great actor right there.
That's something I could never do.
Apparently, he quit acting.
He quit acting.
Yeah, he's done acting.
Is that true?
Yeah.
What a push.
That's sad, dude.
He was good.
Yeah, he was really good.
That makes sense, though.
If you hate, if your character's the most hated person, entertainment ever, like you're getting harassed on the street.
People probably hate you in real life.
Bro, he could be a Marvel villain.
Take that same hatred and just be the bad guy and everything.
You got enough money.
You don't want to get hated forever.
Sansa Power and Assault Claims00:08:24
How much money did they really make?
These motherfuckers ain't got money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think they made much.
Yeah, I'll be looking at the cars on set.
You know what I'm saying?
Pocket watching.
I ain't look at these motherfuckers.
You're judging me and my little one line.
You pull up.
You pull up in the Porsche Voltaire.
I ain't got shit.
Are you Hoover there?
Yo, Dill, I'll be getting disrespected, fam.
They forgot my car home twice.
Twice.
I think they might have genuinely forgot it once the second time.
They're like, that motherfucker could walk this shit.
They didn't think I deserved it.
Got the city bus coming.
They did send me home in a bus.
They sent me home in like a transportation vehicle or whatever like that.
And I don't give a fuck.
It's more room.
But like low-key, two nights in a row?
Yeah.
Like, meaningless.
A sprinter vanish.
Like for disabling them.
This boy is meaningless.
Never have I felt more meaningless in this whole thing.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I was looking up Game of Thrones salaries and it just got stuck behind the business insider paywall.
Woo!
Damn.
I can't even afford that.
Good topic.
Topic.
That shit is a hit piece.
Good topic, Change.
Let's talk about it.
What y'all think about Portnoy?
I think this is further proof Portnoy is going to be president.
Whoa, let's go.
Whoa.
Okay, let's break down the story real quick.
Okay, so Dave Portnoy, head of Barstool, there was a 4,000-word piece written by somebody at the Business Insider.
Business Insider is essentially like a Patreon, I guess, for business.
It's like BuzzFeed for money.
Yeah, but you have to, there's nothing wrong with being behind a paywall.
Patreon.com slash Layer 2.
I'm not going to hate on that.
But essentially, they wrote a hit piece about him saying that there are women that were coming out and they said that he was having like extremely violent sex with them.
There was a couple girls that was mentioned.
This girl, Madison, started messaging him over like texts and Snapchat.
The messages got explicit.
Apparently, he sent videos of him fucking to her.
She says that she has like a rape fantasy.
You know, Portnoy flies her out to his house.
This is all alleged.
He films her while she's blowing him.
They have sex.
She claims it was too rough, said it was too much.
She slept on the couch that night.
Portnoy says that it was all consensual.
They disagreed about everything after having sex, and that's why she slept on the couch.
Madison texts her friend a few days later saying it felt like she was being raped.
And what Portnoy basically said with this is, listen, this is he said she said.
This is not true.
He says it's not true at all.
She says, I guess it is.
And then we got to figure that out.
And a little extra detail for the couch thing is that was after a few weeks.
Like, he was like, we talked for a few weeks after having sex.
Couldn't agree on anything.
And one of those nights, she slept on the couch.
It wasn't even like the same night.
It was just like, we had sex.
We have nothing in common.
Nothing.
We're still trying to make it work.
It's not happening.
And she wanted to have sex that night again.
And he was like, we're not going to have sex.
We don't agree on anything.
And then she slept on the couch.
I'm pretty sure that's what he said in his statement.
And then there's Allison.
Basically, she said that her friends put her up to messaging Portnoy.
She wanted to bring friends for the first time.
They were to meet.
And Portnoy said it would be weird for them to have friends there if they were going to be having sex.
They don't meet up.
Then they meet up.
She says they have sex.
He spat on her, choked her.
She felt like she was preyed on.
And then took a selfie with Portnoy and her leaving his house.
So I guess that picture starts circulating.
She feels suicidal and depressed.
The mother finds out, her mother finds out, and starts going after Portnoy.
Portnoy releases DMs of him and Allison talking after, you know, he says, missed my dick yet?
She goes, ha ha ha, of course.
She replies.
Allison herself has said that it's not sexual assault.
So it seems like the mom was kind of really stirring these things up to protect her daughter.
Maybe she felt like her daughter was obviously hurt.
See, I didn't know Allison had said that because I do know she said she felt suicidal and depressed three days later.
And then the mom says she went to the police.
Police say they have no record of, maybe called the police, but police say they have no record of anything at all.
And Portnoy basically shared some texts or like the DMs between him and the girl.
Okay, so really interesting thing here.
Obviously, we don't know who's telling the truth.
There's really no way for us to know.
Yeah.
Right.
So we can't really speculate on what the truth is, but we can talk about how it's being handled.
And an interesting thing that we saw from Portnoy is he went straight at the business insider.
Yep.
They tried to assault his character.
Is that the term?
Assault my character?
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
Assassinate his character.
Assassinate.
Yeah.
Assault.
And they try to assassinate his character.
So he immediately goes at the writer.
He goes at the CEO of the Business Insider, who apparently is this guy who got kicked out of Wall Street.
The SEC said that he had these securities violations and he's a real scumbag.
Also, there's some people that might have shorted the pen stock pen as this gaming company that there's a gambling company that he's partnered up with Barstool.
It dropped 20% once the story came out.
Now, also, they didn't meet certain quarterly earnings projections.
They thought they would.
So that was part of the drop.
It wasn't just because of that.
But an interesting thing is that he started.
He went on the attack.
And if you really want to talk about cancel culture and cancelers, the cancel culture fight is not really from the talent working within corporations perspective.
Okay.
So like when people are like, Dave Chappelle is fighting cancel culture.
It's not really Dave's fight.
Right.
Because Dave gets paid.
Netflix, if they choose to keep the special on, is fighting back against cancel culture.
But once Dave has put out the work, there's nothing to fight.
Yeah.
Right?
So Portnoy is an interesting position because he is the corporation.
He is Barstool.
Yes.
He's choosing to fight back.
Now, he's also fighting for his brand.
He's fighting for his livelihood.
Right.
Like, of course, he has to fight.
But this is a good example of going, I don't care what these brands are saying.
I don't care what's going on.
I'm going to push back.
I'm not going to apologize for this.
I'm going to push back and I'm going to fight for the, you know, to stop this cancellation, if you will.
I'm innocent and I'm going all out.
Right.
It's on some 50 cent shit.
You know, if you fuck with 50 Cent, he's exposing everything.
Yeah.
And it seems like that's Portnoy's approach.
And what's really interesting about that approach is you switch the conversation from, did he rape these girls to, is this a hit piece?
Right.
It used to be, did he rape these girls?
Now the conversation is, this is a hit piece by the business insider.
They charge a monthly subscription.
If you really cared about these women, you would put this out publicly.
Wouldn't you want to stop somebody who's out here assaulting women?
But no, you're going to charge for the information about someone who's assaulting women.
They did the same thing with David Dobrik.
Like they put an article about him in the vlog squad.
There was like alleged sexual assault, like rape charges in that crew.
And they put that shit behind a paywall as well.
And it's like, who do you really help?
Like, who is the predator here?
Like, if you want to help these women, wouldn't you put this information out in the world?
Right.
Yeah.
Like, why do you need to pay to know who the alleged rapist is?
Yeah.
And also, Tim Dylan had released a screenshot of someone DMing him, said, hey, business insider asked me to write an article about you, but I stepped away because it became clear it was a hit piece.
So they're Tim Dylan is getting people telling him they're trying to get me to write a hit piece about you.
And I've also heard that these are like guns for hire, Business Insider.
Like it's easy to get an article written in the Business Insider.
Ah, okay.
Okay.
Quick question.
Do you know if that hurt David Dorbrik's brand a lot?
Because it seems to me like it did.
It's over.
I don't know.
It's over, but it did affect it.
But it hurt that app that he was launching.
Like, he had an app apparently that was his money up for sure.
The smartest thing you think he's demonetized on YouTube now.
That's fucking going to kill him.
It's over.
The smartest thing you can do in these situations is what Portnoy did, which is the direct response.
And I don't know if lawyers tell you not to say anything, but I know it helps when you start it by saying, My lawyers are telling me not to say anything, but here it goes.
And then you get to tell your entire story uninterrupted for 12 minutes, whatever Portnoy did.
So now you just get all of your side out.
They wrote an article that takes six minutes to read.
You get to rebut it for 12 minutes.
And nobody can interrupt it.
And I think that's the best move.
Whereas a lot of these actor types or whatever, probably David Dorbrik is going to be like, yeah, I don't know.
I just keep quiet.
Policy Genius Insurance Break00:02:50
Trust people.
This motherfucker's like, nope, let's fire back.
And he got the barbs.
He got the barstool barbs.
Yeah, he does.
The barstool motherfuckers rock with Portnoy to the end of days.
So if he goes, hey, cancel Insider or whatever he would, it was like, oh, you're going to cancel me?
No, we're going to cancel y'all.
Yeah.
And then that shit starts trending.
And what's really interesting is it basically sets a tone.
It's like, if you're going to do it, it was very easy back in the day to just write an article, right?
Right.
You can write an article about any actor or that kind of stuff, and they can't really fight back.
Yeah.
But if you write an article about Portnoy and your name is on that article, it's not an anonymous article, be ready for smoke.
Yeah.
That's what he's saying.
You call me a rapist.
We are going to make sure you are infamous.
This bladjip guy, the guy who's the CEO of Business Insider, is the laughingstock of Barcelona right now.
And the whole community is going to devour that motherfucker.
Because at the end of the day, he's the one responsible.
Actors are going to be like, well, I'm sorry if she misunderstood.
Maybe I misunderstood.
And Portnoy's like, nah, fuck you.
Fuck them.
It's hit him up, Tupac Texas.
Hit them up.
Yeah, fuck, fuck you as a whole crew, whatever it is.
Let's go.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because, look, I know there's a lot to be thankful for, like how Policy Genius can check out if you're paying too much for home and auto insurance.

Yeah, dude, it was a well-handled move.
Cancel Culture Fighting Back00:07:01
And this is why I have this.
I just think it's funny.
Love the fact that he's fighting back against the cancel culture shit.
That being said, like our boy Francis Ellis was fired from Barcelona for a mistake.
Yeah, I had that thought too.
Like, he literally made a mistake.
So, like, I need to know where that same energy is.
It's like, yeah, when it comes to the people that are expendable.
Yeah.
And that's when you really know you're fighting back against cancel culture.
It's like if someone expendable is canceled and you just let that shit and you tell them, like, yo, you gotta, you resign.
That's a good point.
That's a really good thing.
That's a great point.
You cancel culture.
So it's like, don't, it's not like a fight against cancel culture.
It's a fight to save your life.
Yeah.
You don't want the scarlet letter.
You are.
Rapist, that's done.
It's over.
Yeah, you have to fight.
You got to fight.
You don't got a choice.
You're not.
I want to fight back against cancel culture.
Nah, fam.
And you know what?
You want to sell pizzas?
You can't be a rapist.
You know what thought I had is I'm more inclined to believe him because we've already seen that video of what kind of sex he normally has.
So if that's normal sex for you, I think if you're you got that much to lose, you have to be 1,000% sure it's all consensual beforehand.
I think.
I mean, it's definitely possible to abuse the power, but I also can see you, a guy like that being like, I need to get proof that all of this is consensual.
Yeah.
So I tend to believe somebody who has sex like that normally is probably going to make sure it's all consensual.
He's got his safe words and all that.
It's so risky.
It's such aggressive, like violent sex.
Yeah.
That it's anybody saying, oh, it was rape.
Look, I have marks on my neck or some shit.
You probably do.
The guy had a fucking dog color on you.
Yank it on him.
You know what I mean?
Like, so you're not the shit you just bring up in a spur of a moment, you're saying.
Yeah, and like you're going to make sure, like, look, I'm doing some shit that could be easily perceived.
If I'm not a thousand percent sure she's with it, and then she might not, she might be very not with it.
Very not with it.
So I got to make sure I get a yes on at every step.
Yeah.
Like, I at least that's what I thought, giving him some credit.
I also had the thought of a guy who can beat a me too this many times.
That's president, dog.
That's president.
Trump.
I knew Trump.
I should have known Trump was going to win when Grabbing by the Pussy didn't take him down.
Yeah.
Or Grabbing by the Pussy.
That didn't destroy him.
Yeah.
Portnoy, but he is not.
He don't give a fuck.
He's untouchable.
Now, here's the question: Does a guy like that end up having a similar fate to Trump?
Where it becomes so divisive and there's so many people that are against you and angry at you just because you are you that it becomes hard to function as president or even as somebody it could, but one thing he does differently than Trump.
Trump doesn't explain things.
Ooh, and Portnoy explained everything.
He's a good salesman.
So if you're a moderate, you can get with that easier than you can with Trump.
Trump is a little bit tough to get with because he won't explain the shit.
He's just like, no, that's how I feel.
Fuck you if you don't agree.
That's cool.
That's going to win a lot of people.
Portnoy will say that, but also explain.
This is how I feel.
Here's why I feel this way.
Yeah.
I mean, the dude might be uncancelable.
Dropped the M-bomb.
Mad accusations.
I mean, it's insane.
Nothing sticks.
Nothing ever sticks.
He's still hustling to pizzas that weekend.
He was like, yo, we, and I think he donated 350K.
Like, they sold 50,000 pizzas because they're doing this, like, um, what is it called?
At-home pizza or whatever it is.
Like the frozen pizza, whatever.
And they sold like 50,000 of them this weekend.
I think maybe they were in Walmart for the first time this weekend and they sold 50,000.
He's like, I'm donating $350,000 to the Barcelona fund.
This is the fund that like helps us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Boss move.
Yeah.
Made all the money on the fucking pizzas.
He knows exactly what he is.
And people are going to go out and support you extra.
They're going to buy the pizza just because they don't like the cancelers.
It's like the Goya Beans thing.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Yes.
Right.
So it's like anti-cancel marketing is a very powerful form of marketing.
I don't think he's uncancelable.
I just think his audience is predominantly like young white fraternity college kids.
Yes.
And all the allegations brought against him, whether it's like the N-word thing, sexual misconduct.
That's a good point.
Like if he starts going off on Trump and he's like, yo, fuck Trump or whatever, I think all of a sudden the pen stock dips a lot more.
Oh, go on that.
What do you think?
Just because he interviewed Trump and like that got great reviews.
Yeah.
And like he's like catering to an audience.
And I think the audience is predominantly college-aged white kids.
And the things like, oh, sexual misconduct, where there's not a perfect allegation, but there's a story he said, she said.
I think they're willing to look past that in large numbers.
If it's like, if his whole audience is women, I think this thing comes down on him a lot harder.
If his audience is predominantly black and he says the N-word, I think that comes down on him a lot harder.
So you're saying that his audience is okay with rape and the N-word?
No.
I would say college frat white kids, if we're saying that's his audience, they'd probably be using the N-word in their rap songs at least.
And the rap songs?
I doubt they edited out of the rap songs when no black people are around.
You know what I mean?
I don't think that's a crazy thing to think.
Yeah.
I just think probably more likely to look past those types of things or like at least justify them in larger numbers than if his audience was some other demographic.
The one counter argument I have to just him being really good at this and like smart and good at navigating.
Remember the clip of him in the rap report deposition where they're trying to, where he's being sued and he just fucking destroys those lawyers?
Yeah.
Like this is a smart guy.
He navigates all this shit so well.
It's honestly what I wanted from Louie when Louie went through his thing.
Oh, yeah.
When Louie went through his thing, I was like, okay, this is a really good comic who's funny as fuck and smart as fuck.
He's like thoughtful.
Lou's a thoughtful dude.
So he's going to take all this information and he's going to push it out in a version of comedy that is going to be so flawless that it's going to get him out of it.
Like nobody's going to be critical of him again.
They're going to see his side and they're going to be dying laughing.
And I'm like, this is the first time we have someone canceled who actually has the skill set to get themselves out of it.
Right.
Right.
Based on their profession.
Yeah.
Based on what he's been working on for 30 years.
So I was hungry.
I'm like ready for Louie to just deliver this fucking amazing joke that shows beyond a shadow of a doubt how innocent he is, how preposterous it is to cancel it, preposterous it is to cancel him, and how fucking hilarious he is.
And I'm like, okay, we're all back on.
I'm just waiting for a three-minute bit.
Right.
And maybe that was delivered in the special that he put behind the paywall.
I didn't really, I didn't get a chance to see it.
I didn't feel like it had that big effect because it was behind the paywall.
Yeah.
But like it didn't, it didn't happen.
And it felt like he was maybe more taking like the apology route.
Right.
Yeah.
He never actually said I'm sorry, but wrote an apology.
So he almost did the worst of both worlds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think the world's on sorry.
Yeah.
It's like the people supporting you aren't happy and the alleged victims aren't happy.
So like you satisfy nobody.
And like Portnoy is the second person who actually has the skill set.
Yeah.
Who's like smart enough, thoughtful enough, knows the internet well enough, like knows how to like create like meme culture, knows how to create conversations.
Like he shifted the fucking narrative to the CEO of Business Insider.
The CEO of Business Insider might have never even looked at the fucking article.
Yeah.
Right.
Do you think the CEO reads every article that comes out?
He has no clue.
He's just waking up this morning.
He's seeing a clip of him on the fucking soup with Joel McHale roasting his ass.
Art Investing and Tax Strategies00:15:54
Right.
And he's like, what is happening to me?
Why is every, why are my kids sending me these pictures?
Like, what the fuck is going on?
He's good enough to get out of it and you're actually seeing it happen.
And he's going to be out of it.
Oh, I think he's already out.
Yeah.
I don't think, I think the stock might still be down.
I bet the stock lifts up in a few months and I think him personally is out.
You want to talk about an investment strategy?
Buying cancel stocks.
Yeah.
I had that thought about investing in pen right now.
Oh, dude.
I tried to do it, but I was on California at time.
I tried to put money in pen, but I and I was like, oh, okay, the market's still open, but I didn't realize we're three hours back.
But like, buying cancel stocks is really interesting.
Yeah.
Because like, if it looks like the cancelable offense isn't going to stop the company.
Yeah.
Right?
Like buying Tesla after he smokes weed.
Yeah.
Would have been a great move.
Yeah.
Right.
That is a strategy right there.
And it'll bounce back quickly.
And then here's another thing you got to think about.
When United drugged that Asian off the plane.
Yeah, we should have bought it.
We should have bought right there.
That moment.
I hate United so much.
I can't support the break.
It sucks, dude.
It sucks.
But that's a moment to buy their stock.
Yeah.
Because it will bounce.
People aren't going to stop flying.
They're not.
So, you guys, this sucks.
I'll stop buying them.
I'll stop flying for a couple of weeks, but eventually they're going to be $100 cheaper than anybody else.
And I'll just fucking take it.
Yeah.
Cancel stock.
So then here's the question: Do we cancel people and short the stock?
Yes.
Or do we cancel people so that we can buy it cheap and then come back?
Both.
Right?
Yeah.
Do we like try to bait Elon into something on Twitter?
Maybe he's drunk or hot.
Short it, let it dip.
Buy the dip.
Yeah.
I thought about this with art.
Like, you should kill artists.
Like, the second.
Yeah.
I'll be honest, all these artists like die.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, there's like all these moments.
All these artists kill themselves.
Like, did they?
Did the guy who bought their fucking painting and wants to make sure that there's no more of those paintings out?
Yeah.
Like, the value of your Picasso is based on him not making any more of it.
Right?
Like, it's Bitcoin, right?
There's Jackson Polak dead?
Say what?
Jackson Polak dead?
I think it's Pollock.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But I'm not sure.
Yeah.
I'm not sure if you should.
That's not Polak.
I'm almost positive.
It could originally be that, but that's what Americans say.
It's Pollock.
Okay.
I'm going to still go Polak.
But just think about it.
You buy a piece of art, right?
From this artist that you really like.
People are always like, oh, why are all the great artists dead?
It's like, because that's how you secure the value.
You got to have a dead man switch.
If you kill me, I have all these pieces in a vault.
They're all getting flooded.
I was given the first movie.
Like, literally, you make an artist popular, kill him.
That's a Bosco movie.
How did Bosquiat die?
I'm about to find out.
What?
Drug overdose?
Right?
Andy Warhol.
How'd he die?
AIDS or something?
I don't know if that's true.
I don't know.
Basquiat died from heroin overdose.
Oh, there you go.
Really?
There you go.
What a shame.
The artist dies of heroin.
No way, dude.
That motherfucker was killed.
How did Warhol die?
I'm going to find out.
How did Warhol die?
Hate crime.
Spontaneous dicks to butt.
Is it possible he had the SDB?
Spontaneous dick busting.
Yo, did that happen?
How did Warhol die?
Overdose?
Something?
Overdose on cool.
Yeah, like a heart arrhythmia.
Son, heart arrhythmia.
Killed.
Yo, what's the artist that died of natural causes that popped off?
Nobody.
Monet, mayonnaise.
All these motherfuckers start going crazy.
Bang cut his ear off.
Yeah, bro.
He had gallbladder surgery and then died in his sleep from a post-operative irregular heart.
Bango's?
No, this is Warhol.
They killed that motherfucker.
Look, think about it like this.
You buy a piece of art, right?
The value of that art, art is meaningless.
It's not really what it looks like.
It's truly useless.
It is barstool.
Okay?
Barstool is valuable because of Portnoy.
But if Portnoy does crazy, fucked up shit, then the value of Barstool will go down.
Right?
So if Barstool is at an all-time high and that's just a piece of art and you just kill the artist.
Kill the career of Portnoy.
No.
You kill the career of Portnoy.
Now the art's worth nothing.
I'm going to use a different example.
I got you.
Let's say, for example, Picasso is this great artist and then it finds out that he's a fucking child rapist.
Right.
Who wants to have a painting of a child rapist in their house?
Yeah, that's a good point.
No value.
We can't cancel him.
Kill that motherfucker before he rapes kids.
If the thing has value and kill him before there could be more.
What is it?
Rothko?
Whatever.
There's only a certain amount of Rothko's.
There's only a certain amount of Wilkies.
I only know this because it's in the Jay-Z song.
But there's only a certain amount of them.
Right?
Pablo Picasso, Rothko, Wilkies.
Hey, graduated from the Kona.
I didn't even know what them shits were.
Exactly.
But he only got a certain amount of them.
Just think about like crypto.
There's only a certain amount.
No.
Bitcoins.
The cryptos that you could just keep making more and more valueless, right?
But the ones where it was a finite number, people should be killing artists.
That's a great point.
People should fucking murder them.
The second you buy an expensive piece of art, you should shoot the artist in his head or take him to a Travis Scott concert.
You should do that.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because I want you to be able to get into investing.
And I understand it's a daunting task.
It was a daunting task for me as well.
You don't want to put your money in.
It looks like the market's so hot and all of a sudden it cools off.
A nice little winter comes and you lost all this scratch because you don't know anything about investing, right?
You don't know who is even investing and what they're investing in.
You don't know what the company that you're investing with is doing with this data.
Well, public.com solves all of that.
Okay.
That's why we fuck with public over here.
You can treat public.com not only as an investment portal, but also like a social media app.
You can see other people, famous people, rich people that are investing tons of money.
See what they're putting their money in so you can also feel safe and a little bit reassured.
If Mark Cuban, the billionaire, is putting a little money in a place, maybe you know that you want to take that same risk as him.
Now, I'm not saying take that as actual advice, but it's a little bit more comforting knowing that somebody who actually knows what they're doing with money is putting some money in there.
All that information is accessible on public.com.
Okay.
They also have tons of material that you can read, conversations that you can listen to, tons of information to help you get better at investing so you can make some more money.
So it's not just one of these places.
I'm not going to talk about the competitors, but basically what happens is they're taking your data and they're selling it to the highest bidder, right?
So foul.
It's fucked up.
It's really fucked up.
So give it to the rich.
It's really what they're doing.
You think that you're just making your investments on one of these other competitors, but in reality, you know what's happening?
Is they're selling that investment data to these hedge funds, and those hedge funds are making their bets against you or using you.
It's really fucked up.
And that is not what public is about.
They are transparent with their shit and they're not selling your data to the highest bidder at all.
Okay.
This is what you can do.
You can connect with investors from all walks of life and learn new ideas and gain confidence.
You can choose from thousands of stocks and ETFs along with 10 popular cryptocurrencies.
So you can get in on crypto here as well.
And you can get exclusive access to a growing community of fellow investors.
Okay.
Payment for order flow.
This is the bullshit that these other companies do that public refuses to.
Okay.
It's not what public does.
They're not selling your data to the highest bidder.
All right.
Public.com allows anyone to invest with confidence.
Get the big picture with curated themes that let you navigate the market the way that you see the world.
Invest in built-in educational features that will help you invest with built-in educational features that will help you learn as you go and invest safely.
They have these reminders.
They're like warnings that basically let you know that a trade might be riskier.
So just so you're safe, hey, if you thought it was absolutely secure, all of a sudden they're going to come and say, listen, hey, this is a riskier trade.
We don't know how this is going to go.
It's nice, especially if you're getting started.
Okay.
And you can start right now by investing with as little as $1 and you can get a free slice of stock up to $70 when you join public.com.

That's what's happening.
They have nine popular stocks that you can choose from beyond.
Okay.
You have heard of obviously the Meets, Disney, you might have heard of that company.
Peloton, Tesla, Shopify, Zoom, Apple, Amazon.
And then what is this last one?
Spy ETF.
It's SP ETF.
Good move.
Well, listen, I wouldn't know what it is, but I'm sure there's plenty of information that is available to you on public.com to teach you all about it.
Now, I have to let you know this is valid for U.S. residents 18 and up, subject to account approval.
So see public.com/slash disclosures.
And remember, this is not investment advice.
Go check out public if you want to get into the game.
Okay.
Let's get back to this.
And we're back.
Look, I'm not advocating for the murder of artists.
It sounds like that's exactly what you're doing.
It does sound like it.
Yeah.
And I probably said you should kill artists.
What I'm trying to say is people have been killed for less.
Okay?
Less money.
Yeah.
Way less money.
Way less money.
You'll get killed for Jordans.
That's true.
And you have to think about these pieces.
They're priceless, these pieces.
Imagine if you just bought Jordans and then killed Jordan.
I'll be honest.
You should probably light other artwork on fire.
Yeah.
The less work that exists from the same artist, the more valuable yours is.
Right?
It's not valuable because it looks nice.
It's valuable because it's rare and this person is super popular.
That's it.
The NFT thing with the guy with the apes or whatever.
Yeah.
Kill him.
Bored ape.
Kill him.
Yeah.
How has nobody killed this fucking guy?
Yo, you bring up a valid point.
Why is he alive?
What if you just deleted everybody else's board ape?
You can't delete it.
It's minted to the blockchain.
Come on.
You should know that.
Yeah, you really should know.
He also said we should kill Michael Jordan so they stop making Jordans.
If you want your Jordan's.
You think Michael Jordan's making all the Jordans, though?
Yeah, dog.
What are you talking about?
You think he sold them?
Yeah.
They're still making Kobe's.
They're still making Kobe's every day.
Who's buying Kobe's right now?
When's the last time you saw Kobe's on the streets?
They were way up after he died.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Do you honestly not think that they make you don't think the price of Jordans goes up if Jordan dies?
Yeah, I think Chuck Taylor passed away a long time ago.
The price of Jordans went up because of a fucking last dance documentary.
You don't think if he gets killed, the price will go way up?
Arcash, we just have to go back to the stupid thing you said here.
Yeah.
We just have to acknowledge the stupid thing you said.
It is possible that for profit, a company like Nike might continue producing a sneaker even after the person that sneaker is bestowed to is dead.
That might have been stupid, but my point is that's not my point is right.
That's all I need.
But my point was right.
What was your point?
If Jordan died, the stock, the price of Jordans will go up.
That's 100% true.
So that's 100% true.
You're a dumbass too, Mark.
We're all together.
You forget what it is.
You're going to get an idiot.
It would go up to the market.
For decades.
For decades.
I think there'd be an initial surge.
You're like, oh, I need to feel.
It's like when someone, like a musician, you know what I mean?
They die all of a sudden.
They're Pop Smokes albums, number one forever.
Right?
Yeah.
Because you want to hear the dead guy.
Well, not forever, but for a few weeks, right?
You want to hear the dead guy.
But yes, I still think they would make the sneakers.
Yeah, fine, but the price would go up.
Sure, the price would go up.
But with paintings, with this ape person, the person who makes the ape, I think it's one person, right?
If you really want your NFT to have value, you kill the artist.
You got to kill that guy.
What's his bus Bitcoin guy's name?
Satoshi.
Satoshi.
He's around.
That's if you don't know him.
He already made the set number.
It's already a set number.
It's already done.
He can't make any more.
What a genius, dog.
Genius.
Gave away all the power.
Yeah.
That's why Bitcoin is.
But what if we don't know the artist of the NFT?
Say again?
We might not know the artist of the NFT.
Yeah, you were bringing up Banksy.
Banksy is really good.
That's security.
That's security.
Banksy has created his own security.
Yeah, you gotta hide.
He gotta fucking hide, dude.
And also making your shit on the street, too.
Can I say something honestly?
Please.
You know how Banksy is all like, you know, I don't want to commodify my art or whatever.
I don't want my art to be sold.
Blah, blah, blah.
I hate this guy so much.
I know, but here's the thing.
You do want it to be sold because if you didn't, you would just make replicas, exact replicas of the thing that was sold, and then it would reduce value every single time.
Oh, that one of one is now one of seven.
It's one of 30.
Go make some more, buddy.
Go make some more of the little girl, the stencil, the little girl with the balloon.
Go make some more, dude.
It's very easy to make your art worthless.
Make more of it.
Yeah.
Go for it, bud.
Yeah.
What's stopping you?
Can I tell you something about that girl with the balloon?
Yeah.
I don't get it.
Why do we love it so much?
Because it got destroyed.
This motherfucker, dude.
Dude, you could order something that's zero of one.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
You could order something that is zero of one.
That's better than one of one.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
I just don't understand what's so iconic about.
Bro, it's Bitcoin.
It's nothing.
It's a store of value.
Listen, you act like I understand why Bitcoin is worth a lot.
I don't.
I know you don't understand.
You just happen to be right, and it drives me fucking crazy.
Son, I'll be having a gut that's right, yo.
My gut should be right, dog.
Shells don't even want to say it.
Look how stupid he is.
You just said you're right about Bitcoin.
He saw his waifu.
What?
He saw his waifu?
He's the waifu though.
It's a Bitcoin waifu, dog.
Come on.
Come on, bro.
Act like your boy ain't out here, son.
It's so bad that I'm rooting against it, even though I'm pot committed.
Did you sell yours?
I won't let him.
Still haven't sold it.
I keep talking him out of it.
So got it.
What's Bitcoin at now?
More?
It's up?
Yeah.
66.
You're good.
Oh, look at that.
So I made money.
You made money.
You can sell right now.
I win, dude.
I mean, you're going to get taxed right now.
Yeah, now we're getting taxed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How do you feel about that?
But it's all good, dude.
I assume by that point we'll figure out a way around the taxes.
Yo, Elon is such a fucking troll, dude.
Son, this guy's brilliant, dude.
He's like, there's no way for me to pay taxes, so I guess I'll just sell 10% of the stock.
Yeah.
Knowing that all the people that want him to pay taxes are invested in Tesla and making tons of money.
No, it's actually even smarter than that.
Mark, I sent him a link, and he had found another article, but basically, he has a $15 billion tax bill due if he doesn't sell this stock.
Selling the stock, he's going to have to pay $10 billion in taxes.
Not selling, because he got preferred stock when he, like in 2002 or some shit like that.
He got like millions of shares, and they're about to expire.
Basically, to not pay $15 billion in taxes, he's going to pay $10 billion in taxes and make it seem as though he just let Twitter decide.
Two to the people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why does he have to pay $15 billion?
Something about the stock options that he has are about to expire, and he's going to have to get taxed on the realized gain of those taxes.
And since, so that's like 37%.
I'm getting the fine details wrong, but 37% federal tax and like an 18% state tax because the stock was issued in California.
So he's going to get taxed on like $30 billion gain, 54%.
So to not pay that $15 billion, he's like, let me just sell this $10 billion or whatever and then get taxed.
And I'm going to make it look like the people convinced me of doing it.
Anytime he's pretending he's letting the people do something, he's not.
Does he have any like fucked up kids?
Like, you don't have any like cokehead kids or anything?
I'm sure, dude.
We don't know anything about his kids.
There's got to be.
I mean, he's got a lot of kids.
There's going to be one of them that's in rehab or some shit like that.
I think.
No, he's got like 17 kids.
Not 17, but the guy's got like five or seven.
He's the Antonio Carmarti of billionaires.
Leo Confusion and Kid Drama00:05:34
He really is.
He's got six kids.
Six kids.
Boom.
That's a lot for a billionaire.
Yeah.
If you're not a fucking Middle Eastern oil tycoon, that's a lot of kids.
Six.
Son, Jeff Bezos did one of the most likable things, or maybe the only likable thing that I've ever seen him do outside of get me shit within 24 hours whenever I need it.
And did you see what happened?
Yeah, yeah.
It was just amazing.
So his new wife is like cheesed up talking to Leonardo Capricorn.
Checking him out.
I mean, this is disrespectful.
And I think Leo's like on an Apple box or something.
He's like sitting way higher than him.
Yeah, he just looks so tiny.
His girl's like looking up to him.
Yeah.
If her titties are pointed at you, that's a problem.
That is a problem.
She was wild.
She was being disrespectful.
That was super wild.
And what's his face?
The next day, Jeff Bezos posts a picture, I think, on Twitter.
Yeah.
And what did it say?
Said, Leo, we need to have award or something like that.
He basically said, Leo, let me show you something.
Actually, that was funny wording.
Yeah.
You know?
He literally goes, yo, Leo, let me show you something.
I was like, that's our line.
Oh, that was our show.
Oh, all right, Jeff.
And then it's just him on a like on a cliff on a sign that says, like, caution, steep cliff might fall off.
Yeah.
So he, yeah, he's going to send the demons out for Leo, dog.
Yeah.
And he strategically placed it in front of his upper body, except for his arms, put on the things that look mad Bronx.
Looks strong.
He looks like he's in way better shape than he is.
This guy thought it through.
It was a photo op.
He went with his Amazon number two and was like, let's figure this shit out.
I'm fucking getting embarrassed out here in these streets.
Now, what do you do in that situation where your girl's like head over heels in love with another man?
It depends on who.
If it's Leo, I'm probably going to be checking him out with her.
Yeah.
So I wouldn't even notice.
Leo's a tough one because it's like, Leo, dog.
He wasn't even trying.
He wasn't being flirty.
He seemed the opposite.
He seems extremely concerned.
No, that made it worse.
That made it more embarrassing.
But she knows.
Like, Leo got an age limit.
That's true.
Yeah.
He thought that was his mom.
Yeah.
Like, Shorty's probably around like 40 or something like that, or like 50.
And like, Leo's not doing that.
Leo's doing 25.
Yeah.
25 tops.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, there's no way.
So Leo's probably confused about this whole situation.
Like, what the fuck is going on here?
Like, why is this girl looking at me like this in front of Jeff Bezos?
He's probably trying to talk to Jeff Bezos.
Yeah, probably.
Probably.
Definitely not talking to these 50-year-old women.
Yeah, definitely not, dude.
The oldest woman he's ever been with is probably Kate Winslet in Titanic.
He's probably like, this is, I really got to act here.
Never again, bro.
That was it.
He made out with Kate Winslet in the back of an old Model T, and he's never hooked up with a girl that old ever again.
You ever talk about how this guy got such a problem with the icebergs melting, but if it wasn't for our iceberg, you wouldn't have a career.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Do I ever talk about that?
A hot ass take.
Yeah.
That's why he's concerned about them melting.
He's like, yo, we got to bring these motherfuckers back.
Titanic 2.
Yo.
Yo, you're right.
You're right.
That's a great fucking point.
Or maybe he doesn't want it to melt so there won't be a replacement.
Like, he doesn't want someone else to take his kill.
He's killing the artist.
You got to kill the artist.
Yeah.
But yeah, I think this kind of just confirms, like, basically, do you want wealth or fame?
Like that old debate.
If you could get one or the other, like fame, I'm assuming, plus like charm, personality, or just pure wealth.
Yeah.
You might want fame, dog.
But Leo got one.
Do you think you want what you don't have?
I don't think that Leo's more famous than Jeff Bezos.
I mean, as far as like.
If you see them both walking on the street, I think more people recognize Leo.
I don't think people know what Bezos looks like as much as they use his shit every day.
Man, I think it's tricky, though.
Okay.
Don't you think it's close?
Probably closer than I'm thinking.
Because my initial thought is 100 people are going to recognize Leo out of 100.
And 30 are going to recognize.
If I see Leo, I like it.
I'm probably being.
I'm excited to see Leo.
She's been around those actors.
Like, her ex-husband is Patrick Weitzel, who like runs WME, like has Ben Affleck as a client, Christian Bale.
She's been around these people.
This is Leo, dog.
All right, I'm in the room.
I'm glowed up.
Let me just have a Leo look to me in a certain way.
This Leo the Lothario, dog.
This is different.
It's not Ben Affleck.
Certain Ben Affleck, so.
You think she was just trying to be charming?
You think she was just trying to be flirty and fun?
Mitch, you're too old, bro.
She wants to flex if she could get some attention.
For sure.
How old is she?
I'm going to look at her.
Because here's the thing.
Leo's 50.
Yeah, but.
So it's not like it's one thing when you're playing mom.
She's 51.
She's 51 and Leo's, what, 50?
So it's one thing when you're playing mom and you're flirting with a younger man.
He's 46.
He's 46.
Okay.
So if you're playing mom and flirting with a younger man, that's kind of fun.
Like if Meryl Streep comes up to me and she starts flirting with me and saying some wild shit, it's adorable.
She could say the wildest shit in the entire world to me.
Just like an old man can say that to a girl in her like 30s or 40s and it's kind of like charming.
Like it can be like old and creepy, but it's kind of like funny.
Less charming than when a woman fairly.
Fair enough.
Way less charming.
But a wife is like a bad thing.
I think you're thinking of when your dad doesn't, he's not creepy at all.
He says pretty mild things, but yeah, like uh no, no, no, I mean like literally like the grandpa in the movie who's like sad kind of shit.
Yeah, yeah, no, it is kind of funny.
It is kind of fun, like a grandpa at a diner and saying things to the waitress and the waitress, like, oh, Harold, shut up, right?
Like, because they know it's so ridiculous and it could never happen, right?
You know, or like the nerd character hitting on the hot chick, he can say whatever because it's absurd, it's never gonna happen.
The insulting thing is, she might be operating with him as if it could never happen.
It's ridiculous, but they're within the fuck range.
Yeah, five years.
Recycled Boxes and Jeff Bezos00:02:54
Five years?
I mean, most people are in Leo's fuck range.
That's true.
Oh, no, most people should be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Most people should be in Leo's fuck range, right?
But like, that's an interesting perspective.
Like, I don't, this is funny.
She is probably looking at the situation like, I'm 51, but I'm bad.
I got the richest man on the planet to leave wifey.
Yeah.
Like, I got the richest man on the planet to give away half his shit for this pussy.
Yeah.
Got with me while he was with her.
Like, this is the most fire pussy ever.
Yeah.
He gave up half of the wealth of the richest person on the planet.
Never in history has that ever happened.
That's how fire the pussy is, right?
So she's probably looking at Leo like, if I want it, I'll get it.
Yeah.
And Leo's looking at her like, Grandma, be it.
Let me talk to Bezos for a sec.
What the fuck is going on?
Like, they don't understand what's happening.
Leo's trying to steal Jeff from her.
Yeah.
Leo would rather be a Jeff.
They both want to solve the fucking climate crisis or whatever the hell is going on.
Yeah.
Even though they're both contributing to it.
Absolutely.
100%.
Nobody destroying an environment more than Bezos.
Right?
It's not recyclable on boxes that come to your house.
I think they are.
They are.
You can't recycle boxes.
Yeah, you get to keep all these recycled boxes.
It's legit the number one shit to recycle this cardboard.
Y'all never had anything that was recycled out of boxes.
Yeah.
What you have is recycling.
Recycled cardboard.
A lot of boxes are a lot more boxes, bro.
They can't make boxes out of boxes.
That's almost how they do.
You can't make boxes out of boxes.
What do you think they make boxes out of?
Tree.
They make it out of tree, bro.
Why do you think there's no Amazon?
Because of Amazon, dog.
I mean, come on, guys.
This is basic information.
This is basic knowledge.
You can't make boxes out of recycled boxes.
You already know.
You didn't name a company after the shit he'd taken out.
He knew from the jump.
Listen, you're not.
Amazon's here now.
Yeah, you got to kill the first Amazon.
Control the supply.
100%.
Smart.
100%, man.
This guy's serious.
Have y'all Googled it yet?
Yeah, I think there's a lot of things that you've used that's not make boxes out of recycled boxes.
Yeah, it's confirmed.
Most boxes in the United States, or no, 65% of boxes are made from partially recycled boxes at least.
Oh, partially.
That's 61% as partial.
Are partially recycled boxes?
And I think at least one is probably fully recycled.
Not that the box is recyclable, even if it's partially recycled.
Nope.
Once it's open and put together, it can't be used as a box anymore.
The sixth most recycled item ever is corrugated cardboard.
Is what?
Corrugated cardboard boxes.
Yeah.
And newspaper is made of recycled boxes.
And Jeff Bezos's wife is a recycled box.
It's interesting.
That is funny.
Okay, maybe you can't.
Fuck him.
But shout out to Jeff Bezos.
You out here, King.
Son.
Coachella Medical Team Failures00:15:04
You out here.
All right.
Should we talk about Astral World?
All right, guys.
We need to take a break for a second because I need to tell you about Watch Gang.
Okay.
They've given over 500 Rolexes away.
It is the number one watch club in the world.
Okay.
They give a tag away every Tuesday, a Rolex every Friday, and a Psycho every Saturday.
They like the alliteration, kind of.
It's the world's number one watch club with over 1 million members.
And you're getting up to 70% off retail when you're joining this club.
Okay.
They have a plan for every price point, by the way.
And you get to keep every watch.
All watches are guaranteed to be worth more than the price of the membership.
Okay.
Watch Gang partners with small European boutique brands as well as the Seikos of the world, Swiss and Japanese movements in all watches.
So what you can do is you can get a watch whenever, monthly, quarterly, or whenever the hell you want.
And you get to keep every watch.
All the watches are up to 70% off the retail value.

Put a little sex in your life at watchgang.com/slash flagrant.
Now let's get back to this.
All right, should we talk about Astral World?
Yeah.
Tragic, man.
Eight people dead.
Yeah.
A bunch more in the hospital.
Even more than that.
A bunch more in the hospital.
Have you guys heard this thing about the needle?
Yes.
Yeah.
This is what's really interesting to me.
I'm curious if the people died from the trampling, from some sort of asphyxiation, or from fentanyl or whatever the fuck was in that needle.
Apparently, there was a guy walking around just jabbing people with the needle.
I don't know if that's confirmed yet.
Is it?
The police say they're still investigating it, but I've read the stories, like the really detailed ones, of how people were getting crushed in the stampede.
And you just know if there were some people that were injured from that needle, definitely a lot of people were killed within that stampede.
They were crushed.
I read some accounts that basically once Travis Scott got on stage, everybody tried to rush to the front.
And some girl was saying, like, she lined up dumb early, like an hour and a half before the concert even started to be close.
And then when Travis came on stage, it was like crazy panic.
Like it was so tight.
Literally, I think she said, if you jumped, you just stayed in the air.
It was that tight.
You felt it on your ribs.
People are shoving in.
She passed out.
And then luckily, they were like finding people who were passed out and then crowdsurfing them out of the way.
She helped one person, then she passed out, and then somebody helped her.
And then the eight who died, it seemed like they just got trampled.
Like the needle thing, it would be fucking crazy if it's true.
Right now, it's not confirmed.
The Houston PD did confirm that one security guard allegedly said that the security guard claims that he got a needle in the neck and then had to be resuscitated with Narcan.
Yeah.
Now, some people are suggesting that the NYPD is putting the needle story out and like trying to push the needle story because it absolves them.
Yeah, Houston PD, I mean, is putting out this story and like pushing the needle story.
Because they're like, dude, there's a crazy guy with a needle.
It's not because there was poor crowd controls.
It's not because of anything else.
It was a wild attacker.
And also, multiple things can be true.
Yikes.
Yeah, it is kind of crazy.
But there is an interesting conversation, which is like responsibility for mob tactics.
Yeah, okay, go ahead because I have a so and again, I don't hold, I don't hold Travis responsible in the same way that I don't hold like Trump responsible for like inciting violence or inciting these things, right?
Like you can say something, but if somebody actually does it, they should be personally accountable for that, especially if they're an adult, right?
That being said, people are going to look into Travis's marketing and they're going to show that he makes sure you know every single time that a mob chases him.
And he is the type of person that mobs create around him.
And he's the type of person that people will charge the gate.
And he is the type.
He is that famous.
He's that excited.
2015, he pled guilty to, I think, reckless endangerment because he told the crowd to hop over the barricades.
I think 2017 in Manhattan, a guy sued him because he said he got shoved off a third-floor balcony and then dragged on stage.
So this is a thing that he's already had issues with.
So when that happens, and you don't look super lit, dog.
It looks super lit.
In the Astro World promo for this year, they use footage from previous concerts that show people breaking down gates and jumping over fences.
And they're like, yo, this is the craziest thing ever.
Hundreds of kids just running.
He says that he wants his shows to be like a WWE show.
And he's promoting that moshing.
He's saying that's the release.
And apparently he tweeted earlier that day encouraging gate crashing.
Well, he said, we want the wild ones in or something.
Yeah, we're sneaking the wild ones in.
We're still sneaking people in, blah, blah, blah.
And apparently the event was oversold.
Yeah.
So it's like, there's a bunch of people probably on the hook.
Yeah, we got to figure out what the issue was.
If the issue is just simply overcrowding, then maybe it could be those people that came in through the crash gate.
And if they came in through crash gate because they felt like Travis was telling them to do that, is he partially responsible?
It's a bunch of issues.
Right.
That's at least what they're going to say when this goes to lawsuit, right?
The lawsuits are going to say, listen, he told motherfuckers to crash this shit.
And the people that crashed it caused the overcrowding, which caused the people to be squeezed and trampled and fucked up.
And if it was only the amount of people that were there, right?
If they didn't oversell it, if they oversold it, then they also, whoever oversold it is on the hook as well.
It's just a really interesting situation.
It's like, how much can you hype the crowd?
How much can you reward it?
Like every time Travis is being chased, I don't even think he walks.
The only time I see him is he's being chased.
He's at McDonald's, people going crazy and they're mobbing it, right?
He's in Fashion Week, people going crazy, they're mobbing it.
And like almost to the point where I'm like, is he paying to like start this kind of thing?
Is he paying a few select people to like chase him when he goes somewhere?
Cause it makes it look super hypey?
Yeah.
Right.
It does look hypey.
You look like you're the man.
People are chasing you through the streets.
That's a superhero.
You can also just put yourself in a position that that happens.
Like if you're not paying everyone to chase you, like you can go through the front entrance of the concert where everyone that's there to see you sees you and they can walk up to you and all of a sudden that's going to create panic.
Like he could go through the back door.
Yeah.
There's other entrances.
There's better security details.
There's disguises.
Like, but he's intentionally drawing attention to get people to.
It is also.
I've been to a Travis Scott small live performance.
He did Wildin' Out one year.
And I went to go hang out.
It was like 2016.
I wasn't on it, but I was just saying hi to everybody.
And that motherfucker had the whole place shaking.
Like I've never seen any live performance ever.
Like he's actually incredible live and he creates his energy.
I can't even explain it.
I walked out toward the end of the performance, but you could literally feel the whole venue shaking.
It was crazy.
It was fucking story I ever heard, bro.
Fire events so live going crazy.
I got to bed early, but it was crazy.
Exactly what I did.
That's what I did.
Shelton's Bachelor Party.
Lit as fuck.
About 2 a.m.
You guys, you guys good?
I'm going to go to sleep.
Trying to get eight hours.
That is true.
Arcash would go to sleep every night early.
Makes me feel better.
You did that for Travis Scott, too.
Scott, not me doing that.
Yo, that's me.
That's on brand.
You said that like this event had, it's a festival, right?
And it was 50,000 people.
But normally when you're at a festival, you're at Coachella.
There's a main stage, and then all the people that want house music are in like far off in the Sahara tent.
So that whole crowd is distributed across the field.
Anyone going to Astrow World Festival, the entire show will be there for Travis.
Dove is saying is there's multiple bands playing at the same time.
And usually they're bands that don't have any kind of crossover with the listenership, right?
But at Astrow World, there's one person you want to see.
But at the same time, they should be ready for that.
When Jay-Z comes on at, I don't know if he's ever played Coachella.
Like everybody's going to see Jay-Z.
Rock the Bells.
Well, Coachella, I mean, this is going to have an effect on all of it because Coachella has been the same exact fields in Palm Springs or in Coachella area.
And the audience capacity just keeps on growing.
They've expanded a little bit, but like triple what it was when we were going like 15 years ago.
And you feel it.
Like people are lined up two hours before.
There's still room, but you're like, no, that's going to change big time.
What do you think?
You're just not going to have these big concerts or the capacity is going to be.
Capacity has to be reduced.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Do you think Travis is the greatest artist of all time?
No, what I was going to say is I think there's, like, I've seen examples.
So I've been like reading up on like Reddit stuff.
And they're like, yo, I was at a concert that was in Glassdoor, in the UK, let's say.
And it was 100%.
Yeah, yeah.
It's 100,000 people, but they had rows that were forcefully layered in, and security would kick people out that would step the road.
That's how you're supposed to do it.
Yeah, there was like, there are people that apparently do this correctly with larger crowds.
I'm not like, I just imagine.
Post-COVID, people are wild.
Yeah, I just imagine that those people maybe are going to elevate to a bigger career.
You know what I mean?
Like those people that handle this well.
I also think, yeah, Travis doesn't seem like he wants it.
He wants to fucking, I want you guys to swarm.
Yeah.
And you could tell the fervor in the audience when like they're bringing the ambulance through and kids are jumping on the ambulance, like twerking and like stomping on it and like trying to break shit.
So apparently he saw the ambulance, stopped the music for like several seconds is what I heard.
And then he was like, what's going on?
There's an ambulance.
Music stops and then he goes, if you're doing all right, put your middle finger up.
And then he went back into 30 more minutes.
Yeah.
So I don't necessarily blame him, but it ain't a good look.
Yeah.
Apparently the event went on 30 minutes after it was already declared like a mass casualty.
So it continued for 30 minutes after there was reports.
And apparently people were telling him like, yo, there's people we might need to stop.
And allegedly, I don't know if this is true.
He said, nah, fuck all that.
Let's keep going.
Oh, that would be a he's on a massive platform and he sees like multiple people getting resuscitated.
Keeps on doing the robot.
Do you see his statement, yo?
Here's it.
I didn't see his statement.
He's doing the robot.
Bro, he was.
He was hitting the robot.
He was also killing it, too.
I was like, damn, I get it.
Murder that shit.
He found a nice pocket.
You can't.
We got to let him finish.
Yeah, that's tricky, man.
That's tricky because you are at a concert and people are taking drugs and they're going to pass out.
Yeah.
So I'm sure it's not the first time a massive entertainer has seen someone pass out in the audience.
And there's 50,000 people there.
Normalized.
Especially when you go to these big fucking concerts.
Especially his concert.
Yeah.
People are smoking weed.
They're dehydrated.
They're doing fucking ecstasies.
Jumping, like screaming for two hours.
Like seeing people pass out is nothing.
Death is crazy.
But how do you know the difference?
That's what I'm saying.
He probably doesn't know the difference.
He's seen it a million times, and that's not really fazing him that much.
Maybe the ambulance did a little bit, but bro, like seeing somebody pass out, like I'm just thinking like at Burning Man or even like at a festival or something like that, that wouldn't be that shocking to me.
Yeah.
It just wouldn't, I don't know.
I wouldn't.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I'd expect it.
That's a good point, but that's going to be tough to explain if you get sued, which he's already starting to get sued.
Oh, in retrospect, you look awful.
Yeah.
You look so cold, bro.
You knew these motherfuckers are dead.
You kept on singing.
You kept saying, put your middle fingers up.
And he can't exactly say, oh, yeah, I'm used to people just passing out and looking like they're dead at my concert.
They do all kinds of drugs in my concert.
Yeah.
You can't say that.
But how does he know that they're dead?
He has no clue.
So that also falls on his management.
That's like, yo, are you getting feed and intel from like the medical team?
Oh, fam.
Once they know that somebody's dead, someone got to go on that stage.
Okay.
Like, hey, it's a rap.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, one person should have flare guns.
Honest to God, they should be inside the crowd.
No, they really should.
And if you see the flare go off, be like, yo, that's it.
Automatic, 30 minutes.
But I'll tell you what's probably going to happen.
Is motherfuckers going to bring flare guns to just fucking party and just be like, this shit is fire.
Yo, that's crazy about that needle, though.
I don't even like that that's a story because it's going to give motherfuckers ideas.
What if he's just injecting them with a vaccine?
Yeah, it could be COVID.
What if he's just a big science guy?
Imagine I'm just saying, like, what if you're one of these crazy serial killers?
You're one of these crazy motherfuckers, right?
Like, do you want to give everybody AIDS?
You want to give everybody, you know, some sort of disease?
You got some Ebola, you know, you want to give somebody that?
Like, you just go around jabbing motherfuckers, and you're so close, they won't even feel it.
Like, honestly, in a concert that's that tight, you can just walk by people, poke, and they'll be like, oh, what was that?
They'll think it's a bug or something.
It's that, bro.
You're probably drunk.
You don't even need to do that.
You can literally offer people free fucking ecstasy lace with fentanyl.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, true.
Much easier than poking people.
The poking people, you got to have mad different needles.
Throw one out, throw another one out.
You can also be on the hook for that.
People are going to be like, oh, yeah, I saw the guy that came out to my friend and gave him some shit.
He looked like this.
Yeah.
You do this.
Poking in and out.
Secret.
Yeah.
Yo.
You got the terrorist.
I fucking will see the person.
Yeah, but when you're this shit-faced, you know what I mean?
It's a little crazy.
I was on to Travis's defense.
I don't know if he's drunk.
Like, a lot of times performers are on stage, like, they're faded.
Like, they might not be fully able to make coherent decisions, especially on that scale.
Yeah, but again, I don't think any of that flies in court.
That might, maybe the court of public opinion, maybe, but other people are going to be like, yeah, but it's still your responsibility.
Well, no, I think legally he might be off the hook.
I think public opinion is going to be harder on him than the legal pressure.
Really?
Yeah.
I think that they're going to treat him like Alec Baldwin, man.
Like, I think they're going to be like, oh, man, he's the victim in this.
Well, I honestly think that statement hurt him.
What was his statement?
His apology was, he just literally saying, he's just rubbing his forehead the entire time, weirdly.
He's doing this.
And it just looks weird visually.
But also, though, the shit he's saying is almost more like, hey, guys, don't be mad at me.
It doesn't really, it's not super awkward, but it's like, yeah, I just want you guys to know my fans mean the world to me and all this stuff.
And I'm going to do, you know, I'm going to set up a fund.
Yeah, I think, oh, I didn't hear set up a fund.
I already said, like, I'm going to give y'all information as soon as I get it.
And it's like, bro, we don't care about the information.
I want to take care of the people.
Well, he said, he was like, I'm going to set up a fund.
We're figuring out the families.
We're trying to help the families in this tough time, blah, blah.
But he also put a filter on it.
Yeah.
Don't put a filter on your apology, bro.
It was black and white.
Don't make it black and white, bro.
Come on.
Yeah, I don't know better.
Super emotional.
It just yeah, he almost looked like he was trying to cry, but he couldn't.
That's his forehead scratch.
Yeah, it didn't feel super genuine.
Music, a little Sarah McGlock.
He should have made a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of help, bro.
You should have listened to that before.
That's a dope name for a female rapper.
Yeah.
Sarah McGlocks.
Yeah, McGlocks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn.
Okay, so you think that he has to pay any money at all or not?
No, because I think he's like some inference.
I don't think it's going to be him personally.
It's going to be like the event, like vendors, like probably like the medical team that was hired because apparently a bunch of them were incompetent.
Kanye Satan Interview Critique00:15:31
Right.
It's going to fall on like the production and whoever produced the event.
Probably like his management.
I can't imagine.
I think it's like comes out of his pocket.
There's insurance, but then if he was at fault, if they could say that he caused this, then they'll turn on him.
The insurance is going to do everything in their power to convince the courts or whoever it is that Travis Scott made these people rush.
Yeah, and he encouraged it and he said this and the fucking promoter.
I think.
Yeah.
So if they can prove that he encouraged the violence, then yeah, it'll be on him.
Fuck.
Yeah.
And then how does that change concerts?
I don't know.
I don't know if we stop the mosh pit.
Yeah, kind of.
I don't know if it's going to change it that much, though.
People die every year at Black Friday.
That's true.
That's true.
But I'm just saying, like, if you know that you're on the hook for it, right?
With Black Friday, I don't think that the company itself is on the hook.
But if, what was it called?
Was that Best Buy?
If Best Buy was on the hook every time someone died at Black Friday, please believe that they would have some different rules.
And once these artists got to start paying or these promoters have to start paying, like if the promoter of this event has to pay, please believe anybody else's event that they're promoting is going to have very different rules so they can avoid another payment.
I think if you're that type of artist, a fire PR move is to say, yo, you got to sign a waiver just to come to the concert.
Ooh, shit.
If you're, if you're injured in a moshing accident blah blah, blah.
Like it's on you and for Pr Wise, that's crazy.
That's like I forget what scared movie did that?
But they were like you got to sign.
You like you have to consent to how scary it is.
People are dying in the theater from fear.
Like amazing marketing.
Yeah, what the movie was that?
The um, the Something Project where there was horror, Blair Witch, Blair Witch oh maybe yeah, Blair Witch.
I think we all felt might be real.
That was there's, like there's medical staff at the theater because people are passing out, like that kind of thing.
They're having seizures.
Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah, yeah.
Like that kind of marketing was like yo, you want to go to Travis Scott concert.
You got to sign away and say, life yeah, some happens like it's on you.
Haunted houses do that sometimes.
Like some, some haunted houses do that.
Oh yeah, they do.
Like I gotta go to that haunted house.
It's killing people.
Yeah yeah, Travis Scott sales might skyrocket.
To be honest with you yeah, i'm curious if it affects like sneakers and like that, because he's also like beat this before.
If we're talking about like case precedents, like he pled guilty to disorderly conduct in like 2015, inciting a riot yeah, you got discharged from that like, but this time, eight people died and it's a national fiasco like we're all talking about.
Yeah yeah, you know.
And even indifferent.
In his documentary the one on Netflix, Look Among Fly he has the same thing happen where, like it shows him encouraging the mob and like he runs off stage and he's like, whoa, that was crazy.
Like they've banned him from like, that venue or something like that, and it was used in the promotion.
It's like all part of the.
I do think it's all romantic until people die.
Yeah, up until the point, people die.
That is lit as and it might still be lit because more people die and it might be that much bigger.
But I think it gets a lot more real when you're like oh, eight people died at this concert.
Yeah, but you're also dealing with a fan base of 15 to 18 year olds.
Yeah, they're like, I won't die, not gonna be me.
Yeah, i'm built different.
Yeah, that's so true, they think they're immortal.
But wow, I didn't realize that like this could actually help him.
Yeah, could.
The concert is so lit.
He is so lit that people are willing to die to get close.
Son, he's the greatest live artist ever.
There's not even a debate anymore.
There's inherently debate.
Son, his concerts are killing people.
How much more lit can you get?
I mean Slip, Slip concert.
People died, the who.
People died who?
Literally the who you're talking about 50 years ago, though I didn't say 50 years ago, remember that?
Okay yeah, but that wasn't because of the artist.
Say what?
That wasn't because there's no motive.
Still there's no motive.
Son, his trampling is different.
Still don't know what happened with that.
Right, that's a little crazy.
James Paddock Bro right, that investigation that just never went away.
Like yeah, that's weird.
Huh yeah, this is interesting man, like people are that, it's up to admit.
But i'm like I gotta see a Travis Scott concert.
That's what i'm saying.
And now that all like the, aren't you glad I left my early, I might not be here today.
I didn't feel like I needed to see a Travis Scott concert until this.
And now i'm like what is going on here?
Just stay back there, don't get close.
And only satanic panic marketing always helps the artist.
Specifically, what's that mean?
Like saying oh, they're demonic, they're Satan.
It's a ritual which is like the big, like prevailing conspiracy on like facebook and whatsapp, and that kind of thing always helps because, like it's offensive to like, I think, Christian Puritanism yeah, but isn't so egregious that, like his audience will really care yeah, so it's like kind of just a perfect device.
So all these people calling him Satan, I think actually helps because it makes it so absurd where they're like okay, he's not literally Satan and so it kind of creates like the.
It makes a distance and a buffer between, like where he's actually culpable, because you make him so much worse than what he actually did.
You know what I mean.
So if i'm his pr team, i'm like yo push the Satan shit, because then it's like he might have incited a riot, but he's not Satan.
And so now you're not saying look how bad he is, like well, he's not that.
You're like you're pulling back from how you switch the combo.
Yeah exactly, yeah.
So now we're not talking about dead people, we're talking about whether or not he's saying, push the Satan thing, push the needle thing, push everything, except he incited a riot.
Yeah, how upset you think Chris Kardashian is why that she canceled that show.
This year there's no season.
Imagine how lit that season would be, the aftermath of killing eight people.
They got all those episodes out of Kim getting a fake robbery.
He's a real death.
Kim and Kanye divorced, bro Pete Oh, there's so much dude, the one year she stopped making up to happen.
Real things happen, crazy dude.
She's the real victim.
When you think about it, this is wild.
What did you think about that Kanye interview?
Did you see the?
I saw the drink champs.
Uh, highlighted the drink Champs.
Man, yo loved it.
Bro, y'all, y'all these guys are great man.
They got a great podcast.
Yeah, great interviews.
There's like they really care about music and they care about the game and they have this insider information.
But they also have such enthusiasm.
That's what I love.
They seem so like likable and positive and fun, excited about.
Yeah, a lot of motherfuckers that like uh, you know, will do these.
Uh, music interviews are kind of like jaded and I feel like they're trying to like copy Charla and that they have to like uh, get the artist on something.
Yeah, they have to expose the artist like right, like I think they saw Charla have so much success when he had a little bit of conflict in the interview.
Yeah, and so they're like these Charlotte copycats.
I don't think is good.
But the way that these guys are like enthusiastic excited, and then they will ask questions that are a little bit like dicey, but they'll.
They'll ask it almost like as a friend, like you'd ask you, like yo, I gotta ask you, like yeah yeah yeah, and I don't know.
It just creates this like really fun atmosphere.
And then Ye was going off.
Yeah, they asked, they asked great questions.
They really got the best out of him like they knew kind of what to ask, they knew how to pursue it.
Yeah, it was great and Ye had to respect them because they're insiders.
Yeah, and they got respect.
Nobody got respect.
He got respect.
So he had to go become correct and then he had his little bipolar episode and it was great to watch, bro.
It was.
He can be really entertaining, man.
He's so funny.
Kanye can be really entertaining.
And am I a wild boy for liking the new boots?
The big ones?
You know what i'm talking about?
The big ones I?
I don't like any kind of fun.
I don't like any new fashion and they always end up wearing it at some point.
So who the?
Am I?
But I thought them shits were trash at first bro, I kind of think they're heat.
Yeah, i'm not saying Akash's word on on fashion bro, you got pizza grease on your pants right now.
Come on dog, talking about this.
What are you talking about?
I didn't even know.
Pizza semen, bro.
Come on now.
Yeah booze, Okay, um, so best part of the interview.
What do you think?
Big Sean.
Oh, yeah.
Without question, Big Sean.
Which I actually thought was unfair.
To Big Sean.
What was fair that he said?
Nothing he said was fair.
That's fair part.
I actually get the criticism, but I feel like he said it.
I mean, it's Kanye, so you can't really rationalize what he said.
But I thought he said it in like an unfair way.
Oh, yeah, the Biden, they didn't endorse me running for president.
Obviously, you crazy motherfucker.
Yeah, but Big Sean looking at him like, you owe me $6 million.
What the fuck am I going to vote for you for?
But I'm upset because Sean was like, I'm apolitical.
It's like, that's not the reason.
Yeah.
Right?
It has nothing to do with how much you care about politics, right?
It has to do with the fact that Kanye was running for president, and you're like, yeah, he's not going to be president.
You also didn't have to say anything, though.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you run for president, I'm not going to vote for you.
Thanks, bro.
But I'm also not going to say anything.
You know what I mean?
I'll be like, yo, if you want to run this.
That's what you're talking about.
You could be on the fucking cabinet.
What can I be?
What can I be if you're president?
Secretary of Defense, bro.
Oh, really?
Yeah, obviously.
Why, obviously?
Because you're the most Republican one here, man.
What are you talking about?
You put all the money into it.
Yeah, we should call this his secretary of offense, bro.
Because we've been going out there.
Very little defense.
What are we defending?
Yeah.
Let's go marketing.
Offense.
Dove going to be treasury secretary.
Dove going to be treasury secretary.
Yeah.
Keeper of the coin.
President, first lady.
All right, but for real, Kanye interview.
It was cool to see Kanye making jokes.
Yeah.
Like he was actually being funny on purpose.
Yes.
Instead of like being caught off guard, and then it's funny.
We're kind of laughing at him.
Like when they asked about the soldier boy thing, and they're like, so why'd you take him on the thing?
He was like, you hear that verse?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, he was trying to make them laugh.
He was charming, too.
He was.
Yeah.
Kanye back, dog.
Kanye.
What he called his haircut?
That Barber?
That's what I was going to bring up.
Yeah.
Edward N-word hands.
So good.
I mean, I can't say it.
I wish we could say it.
But amazing.
Like, actually, have funny jokes.
Yeah.
Likable.
You kind of get it a little bit.
Yeah.
100%.
See his new girl too?
Oh, yeah.
He dropped a new shorty, too.
That kind of got slid in there.
What do you think?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He's doing great.
He's doing great.
Both of them upgraded.
Both of them upgraded.
Happened for both of us.
Yo, shout outs to Pete, man.
That's a takedown.
I love that kid, man.
I fucking love this kid.
You cannot hate on it.
Like, you cannot hate on it, bro.
And I'll say why.
He got her to go to Staten Island, bro.
That's the most impressive part.
That's so wild.
He said, come over to Kim Kardashian.
That is a very impressive thing.
Like, usually when you're dating somebody, especially somebody with status, you're willing to accommodate.
Absolutely.
You're willing to do whatever.
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
Also, Shorty's a mom.
Like, she got kids and shit like that.
Like, how can I make this easier for you?
Like, you put the kids to bed and then we'll get a drink around the corner.
Like, that's what I'm thinking.
They're not that different in age.
Probably got a lot in common.
You know what I mean?
Kids and Pete, they probably got watch the same TV shows, all that.
So can you come out to Staten Island?
Staten Island, dog.
That's a pass.
I rented out a rooftop in Staten Island.
That's a baller move.
Son, who gives a fuck?
Give me a basement in Manhattan.
Also, cheapest rooftop.
Well done.
Yeah.
Like a rooftop in Manhattan is going to be big money you're spending.
Oh, yeah.
Rooftop Staten Island?
Yeah.
Get a view of the city.
From there, right?
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
That's what it's all about.
Did she have to take the fairy yo?
Nah.
How funny would that be?
That Verrazano had to be.
If you got to take the fairy, that's next level shit.
But you know, an interesting thing about this is that this is the value of shooting your shot.
So many people sitting here going, oh my God, how did this happen?
Oh my God, how did he get Kim Kardashian?
How'd he pull this fucking off?
I'll tell you how.
Just fucking asking.
No one is asking Kim Kardashian on a date.
People are intimidated by Kim Kardashian.
And if they are, it's like stupid, sleazy DMs.
It's not like actually real.
But the amount of times that a guy actually genuinely kicks game to Kim Kardashian is so little.
Like really, really little.
And the dude fucking went for it.
Yeah.
And clearly got some game, clearly charming, right?
And was able to pull it off.
He also had a previous pedigree.
Yeah, like when you qualify.
You trade the paperclip for the house.
You know what I mean?
Like you just kind of level up inch by inch.
Yeah.
Also, yeah, they spent a week.
I mean, you don't just shoot SNL on Saturday.
You're there all week, probably 15 hours.
I heard she was really leaning in, spending the time there.
When you know, like, all right, you give her 10% of you on Monday, another little bit on Tuesday.
I mean, that's why people always fall in love on sets, or at least hook up.
Yeah.
Now, what are the odds it's just fake?
It's fake.
Yeah, what are the odds?
Like, Pete Davison makes headlines.
Kim's out.
She wants to get back in with someone that's going to be on headlines.
It looks great for him.
Okay.
Let's just go to Disney together.
Let's hold hands.
Assumption was it was like my first assumption is Kim K is going, wow, MGK and what's the girl's name?
Megan Fox.
How dare you?
How dare you forget Megan Fox?
No, she's fire.
Come on, that's on me.
My bad.
No disrespect to Megan Fox.
Come on, dude.
She's on point.
But they're going, wow, look how much the tabloids love this relationship.
Both of them.
And her sister, her literal sister is with fucking Travis Parker.
Travis Parker.
His sister's with Travis Parker.
Their relationship.
It's so interesting.
Travis Parker by himself, nobody really cares about.
What's her name?
Courtney by herself.
Nobody really cares about.
All of a sudden, them together making out in public, the talk of the town.
We love relationships for some reason.
We love romance.
I think especially like odd couples.
Odd couples.
But even the Bachelor and The Bachelorette, they're not odd.
They're like the most normal, relatable fucking people.
And we watch them religiously.
There's something that we want to, I don't know, live vicariously through it.
We want to see the train wreck.
We want to know if they make it.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but we are interested.
By we, I'm not really talking about the people in this room.
But America is interested.
Okay.
So it would be the perfect situation to do that.
It'd be a great way to grab some clout for both of them.
And he also fits the prototype.
Perfectly.
Yeah.
Right?
Sad boy, tattooed.
Yeah, fix her upper.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it would be perfect, but I kind of have a feeling that it might be real.
Not real, like, hey, this is going to be my next husband or wife thing, but more like, hey, this would be fun.
Someone's got to fuck Kim K. You think she doesn't get fucked?
Yeah.
Do you think she just stops fucking at 40?
Yeah, yeah.
Someone's got to fuck her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pete is really a, he's a rock star trapped in a comedian's profession.
This guy, we talked about Eddie being a rock star back in the day.
Your boy, Eddie.
Pete's the closest thing we've had in terms of rock star lifestyle.
Right.
This guy got fucking tattoos, does movies whenever he wants, does TV whenever he wants, fucks everyone.
Women love him.
He's just a rock star living as a comedian.
Yeah.
This guy's not.
He's a rock star, dude.
Yeah.
Nothing about him being a comedian makes sense.
Him as a rock star makes fucking sense.
Yeah.
Not that he's not funny, but just that life, that's a rock star's life, dude.
Yeah.
Hey, let me fuck Ariana Grande.
You know what?
I'm done with her.
Let me fuck Cindy Crawford's daughter.
You know what?
I'm done with her.
He's just a toy for all these women now.
But it's a ladder.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He just kept climbing up that bitch.
But it is really interesting.
Like, relationships are more valuable than credits.
Fake Rock Star Relationships00:03:56
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, people probably know Pete from his relationships more than they do like 100%.
Sketches or something like that on the show.
And it's really interesting.
Like, if you were a young Hollywood celeb and you were trying to formulate your career and find your way to go to the top, it would be way more beneficial for you to date a person more famous than you than it would to be in a movie.
Right.
Yeah.
You need to be in the public eye enough, but people are talking about fucking MGK non-stop.
Yeah.
Because of the relationship with Rose.
And I'm sure he has an album that's doing good and people are into the music, but the conversation isn't really about the music.
It's what's her name again?
Megan Fox.
Megan Fox.
I can't remember her fucking name.
I don't know, dog.
Sounds like I'm hating.
I'm not hating.
I think she's absolutely beautiful.
Been trapped in that hotel room, bro.
That's what I'm doing.
I think I have.
Yeah, you got Kevin Siever.
She was like a line in a movie.
You can't get it right.
Maybe that was his line.
Megan Fox.
Rose and I'm a Goonis.
I was like, what?
Yeah, Rose is what I was thinking of.
Yeah, yeah.
We got to talk about the fights.
But like, yeah, it's interesting.
I wonder if you're a manager these days and you start thinking about, you know, how you can design your talent's career.
I think, I wonder if you start thinking about relationships.
They've been doing that for years.
Well, Tom Cruise, right?
Yeah.
Who else?
I mean, Lil Zan came out publicly and was like, yo, they set me up with Noah Cyrus, and I didn't even want to be in this relationship.
This is when he was going crazy about the label and all that stuff.
But like, he came out and said it.
Keep going.
I don't know a bunch of, and I don't know anything about it.
I think that guy, Sean Mendez, I think they say his relationship is fake.
Who's that girl?
Oh, I forget.
Do a legal relationship.
Oh, I know a fake relationship that I can't say, but it's hilarious.
I'll say off camera.
Hilarious.
Actually, matter of fact, I'll say it, but I need you to bleep this, Miles.
Make sure that you bleep it.
Right?
You ready?
Make sure you got this time.
Okay.
Heard that.
I heard it.
I heard that.
Maybe from you.
Maybe.
Okay, we said that.
Maybe.
But that is hysterical.
Yeah.
So funny.
It's valuable.
This relationship shit is valuable, man.
And effective.
Very.
It's really effective.
Why?
I don't know.
I think it creates like a new crossover dynamic.
It's like when you do an episode where they bring the cast together, like a crossover episode, you're like, wow, these two are like a bunch of people.
Righteous and ratchet.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It's like you're tapping into their fan base.
Yeah.
You have your fan base.
Now you're tapping into their fan base.
And those fan bases cross-pollinate and both parties win.
Yep.
And ideally, not ideally, like usually, it's very rare that you're going to date someone who has your same fan base.
Yeah.
At least you shouldn't.
No.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're doing it for clout, they never do.
It's always some odd couple.
Oh, that's why the odd couples work.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
So should we not believe in any of these?
I'm looking at an article right now of top fans thought these relationships were fake.
And number seven is Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale.
So people have thought this before about Pete Davidson.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he was with Kate Beckinsale for a minute.
Yeah, that was absolutely.
He's a piece, though.
Yeah.
Yo, he knows how to pick them if they are fake.
He knows how to pick the fake relationship.
I mean, like, God bless.
And also, like, what are the benefits with it?
Is it like some green card shit where it's like you pretend to be married?
Like, maybe sometimes you fuck, but it's not an actual real relationship.
And then the person gets the green card and now you're straight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've met people that were like that.
Like, started out as a fake relationship and they just hung out so much so they could like learn about each other so they could pass the test.
Right.
And then it's like, fuck it.
All right.
We out here.
Yeah.
You know?
Maybe that's what it is.
Pete might just be super charming.
You spent a little time.
No, you spent a little time with him.
You spent a little time with him on a setup.
And then you're like, you know what?
I like this guy.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Yeah.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Real or fake?
Yeah.
You don't buy it.
Not really.
Even if it's not.
Let us play, dude.
No, I like this.
Canelo Fight Decision Losses00:15:11
No, I'm talking about Mark.
That's what I'm saying.
I like the.
I guess wants to believe girls are trying to fuck comics.
He's like, yeah.
He's like, finally, we're the rock stars.
Yeah, go get him, man.
Babe, look how lucky you are.
See?
If it wasn't for you, I'd be fucking Kim Kardashian.
You're basically Kim Kardashian, man.
That's all it is.
Yeah.
No, I understand your skepticism.
I'm usually skeptical of any Hollywood relationship.
Yeah.
The only reason I was skeptical is because the picture came out with them on the roller coaster.
I was just going to say.
And it's just like, well, we're trying to keep this low-key.
It's like, well, why go on the ride that takes pictures?
It's like, it's not even paparazzi.
The ride is the paparazzi.
Yeah.
Right?
So you want that getting out because it might not even be a picture of you.
The other person on that ride with you can ask for that picture.
Right.
Right?
They're in the row three.
You're in row four.
And they get to post that on Instagram.
And then the story goes wild.
And it's like, oops, we didn't know.
You can also shut down the park.
Easily.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Kim Kardashian.
Ball out, boy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe it's true love.
Say again.
Maybe it's true love, though.
Who am I to say?
I want to go to the wedding if it is.
Did you guys watch the fights this weekend?
I watched the Kamaru fight.
Pretty awesome.
That was great.
Yeah.
That was great.
He's unstoppable.
Yeah.
Kamaro is fucking.
Yo, Kobe did his thing, though.
I thought after the second round, he was done.
Come on strong.
But that motherfucker fought, dude.
I think he won two rounds at least.
Yeah.
I think it was 3-2.
3-2 is what I would have thought.
But I think you could probably give that second round, make it like a 10-8 round.
Yeah, because he got him twice.
Yeah.
I mean, I thought it was done after that second round.
Yeah.
I thought if it was 10 more seconds, it's over.
Yeah.
Yeah, it would have been.
Yeah.
It was close.
But to do that and then win two out of the next three rounds is pretty fucking impressive.
Listen, both of them won.
This is what I love about UFC.
You could lose and win.
Like both of them lost.
Well, sorry.
Michael Chandler and Colby Covington lost their fights.
Neither of their stock went down per se because we watched the fights because of entertainment purposes.
Yeah.
Right.
We're like, I just want to be entertained.
So who's going to entertain me the most?
Yeah.
Fight of the night.
That's all I want.
That's it.
That's who really wins.
And Chandler was tweeting today with Connor McGregor.
And he's like, 2022, a picture of Conor McGregor.
After a loss, he's calling out one of the biggest names of the division after a loss.
And then Connor goes, I think we'll definitely do that later on down the line.
Great fight, mate.
Yeah.
In boxing, you lose.
You don't get to call people out.
You don't get to say who the next fight is.
None of that shit.
But in MMA, if you are entertaining, you hold the fucking cards.
Nate Diaz holds the fucking cards because he's entertaining.
Doesn't matter he lost his last fight.
Leon Edwards, the guy he fought, holds no cards.
Can't call out nobody.
You think we can rationalize it easier because UFC has so many different components to it?
You know what I mean?
Like, if you're up against a wrestler, but you're an amazing striker and you just get locked out, like arm bar in the first round, it's like, all right, yeah.
I mean, it's a bad matchup, blah, blah, blah.
Whereas with boxing, it's like you throw punches, you get punched.
Like, that's all you do.
So if you get knocked out, you got punched more than the other guy.
Like, it's one single thing.
Yeah.
So it's like a single metric.
Whereas with MMA, there's so many different variables into a fight where you're like, oh, well, you know, technically, like, you can rationalize a loss a lot easier.
Yeah, especially a decision loss.
Right, exactly.
Like, with a decision loss to Nate, you almost look at it like, if it kept going, he might have got him.
Right.
Even with Colby, I don't think if it kept going that Kamara would have lost still.
But you could make the argument like Colby was coming on as the rounds went on.
Yeah.
And so you're like, if this was on the street, because I think we view it as a street fight.
You're like, if this was on the street, shit, like maybe if they just kept fighting, there's no rounds.
Maybe if they kept fighting, he would have got gassed and that would have been it.
It would have been it.
But then you could also say maybe in the second round, Kamara would have just finished him.
But yeah, there's that.
I think Nate Diaz even said that after his loss to Leon Edwards, like in the fifth round, remember he rocked him and he like staggered him.
He was, dude, if this is a street fight, it's over.
It's like you're wobbling around.
You got saved by the belt.
Now, it's still your job to knock that motherfucker out.
But yeah, there's something different about the sport.
And it's like, provide entertainment.
And I think Michael Chandler, in his fight, realized he wasn't going to beat Gacey.
And I think he tried to win the night.
Just put on the best show.
I think there was a moment where he started playing to the crowd more.
And Gacey's still landing, but he's able to take the shots.
Maybe Gates is a little bit tired.
His legs are starting to get chewed up.
But he's really playing into the crowd, like inviting him in and going like.
I think I saw that moment on Twitter when like he's getting fucking rocked in the face and then he just charges back at him like, let's go.
That shit will make you like somebody.
Chandler's a smart guy.
Like he really understands the marketing aspect of UFC.
He's just went from, I think it was like Bellator.
And now there's a huge difference in talent from Bellator to UFC.
Right.
Like massive.
Like UFC has really monopolized all the best fighters.
Right.
And it is a dip when you go into the other promotions.
So that's why you see these guys struggle when they play there in the UFC.
I mean, Ben Askren was a dominant fighter, then goes into the UFC.
And he struggles, man.
He gets worked.
And so there is a big difference.
So I think Chandler is realizing that, you know, and he had an amazing first fight against like Dan Hooker.
But then after that, you know, Charles Oliveira knocks him out.
And then Justin Gaetchy, it was a great fight, but Justin dominated him outside of the first round.
But he understands, listen, I can get a big payday again as long as I just make this loss entertaining.
So I'm going to bleed.
I'm going to swing.
I'm going to make it look crazy.
I'm going to be out there.
And you know what?
I get fucking paid.
But if I get finished, one, at least I got finished in an exciting way.
But if I don't get finished, I think I'm good.
Maybe he lost a little bit.
Even if you get finished, though, didn't Whitaker get finished by Izzy?
And then he's coming back and he's getting like, they might have a rematch.
He just built his name back up.
He had to build his name back up.
But that next fight with Whitaker was almost like he was back in a contender situation.
And like he won a few of those fights and he won them in like a really impressive fashion.
And because of that, it was like, okay, he's the next in line.
And then he had to wait for Izzy to basically clean out the division.
And that's kind of what's left.
And then you're back.
Yeah.
And I like, I like Robert Whitaker as a fighter.
Like, he's a really good fighter.
I don't think the UFC likes him.
In other words, I think they like stars.
Yeah, he's just not.
Yeah, like the UFC loves Mike Perry.
Just he's not good enough to fight the guys in the UFC.
But if Mike Perry was as good as Robert Whitaker, give him whatever he wants.
He's a fucking superstar.
Like they like the characters.
They like the stars.
They like Colby.
Colby was talking about this.
Colby was about to, I heard a crazy story.
Like Colby was about to get cut no matter win or loss in his fight when he went to Brazil.
He went to Brazil to fight maybe Damian Maya or something like that in Brazil.
Win or loss, they said they're cutting him.
They just don't like his character or whatever.
Afterwards, he records that promo where he's like, Brazil, I own you, this, that, the other.
It might even have been after Connor did the I own Brazil thing.
Okay.
But he records that promo.
The promo goes so viral.
UFC can't let him go because there's already so much free marketing.
Yeah.
Like, imagine you got 10 million impressions.
You literally go to your marketing department.
You go, what would it cost us to get 10 million impressions?
And they go, $300,000.
We go, okay, why don't we just keep him for one more $300 fight and $300,000 fight?
And then we got it for free.
Or we sign him for three more.
It's like, you have to create the buzz.
Yeah.
You know, and it's so funny.
You see the fighters understand this and then just start to lean into it.
And there's very few fighters in the UFC that just go, hey, man, I just come to fight.
I don't want to deal with the politics and all that shit.
It's like even the Dagestani guys.
Yeah.
Right?
The Daghestani guys are the most respectful, like Muslim.
You know, you have to respect the sport, respect this.
Khabib is all out here.
Like, why do we even need ring girls?
What's the point of this?
You know what I mean?
Like, now these young Daghestani motherfuckers, hey, I eat everybody.
Yeah.
Division is mine.
Plans of the lore.
Like, I've wrestled bears, bro.
Like, we all wrestle bears.
Like, my dad's a bear.
My mom's a bear.
Like, I'm a bear, bro.
100%.
So it's really interesting how, like, you can get people to behave in a certain way just by reward.
Yeah.
You don't even have to tell them to do it.
They'll see the other people being rewarded for the behavior and they'll just naturally fall in love.
Yeah, because you have to.
For survival.
Yeah, it's pay-per-view.
You got to be worth paying for.
And if you're not, what are we doing?
Yep.
Fighting?
That's a very small percentage of people who just want to see fights.
Yeah.
I have to be emotionally invested to watch people beat the shit out of each other.
I have to have a rooting interest.
Yeah.
It's so true.
A fight for me as very much a casual when I don't know the personalities involved.
I have no interest.
You need carnage.
Or carnage.
I need carnage.
And even then, I'm like, I don't even hate one of these guys.
He's getting the shit kept.
Both of them getting the shit kicked out of each other.
But if I don't like one of the guys or I really like one of the guys, do what you got to do, man.
Yeah.
So I think you need to build up persona.
You need to be really well liked and or hated.
Izzy loved and hated.
You got to watch it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was your favorite fight on the card?
Probably Gacey versus Chandler.
Yeah.
I mean, Gacey is just such a fascinating guy.
The way that he fights is just unbelievable.
What do you mean?
Just the amount of risk he takes.
Oh, yeah.
Like, he sits there in the pocket.
He puts himself in harm's way on purpose.
Stays exposed.
Yeah, he has the skill to not.
Like, he could be a way less interesting fighter.
Yeah.
Like, but he chooses to stay in the zone and he counters well.
He'll slip.
But he understands he's going to get cracked.
And he gets cracked.
He gets wobbled.
He gets hurt.
Stays in there.
Yeah.
And basically says the same thing every time.
I'm going to take them into deep water.
I'm going to drown him.
And that's what the fuck he did.
Yeah.
And Michael Chandler didn't drown, but he took him into deep water.
Like, Chandler had Gage fucking hurt.
Yeah.
It looked like he almost had him out of there in the first.
Right.
Just like with Charles Oliveira.
And then he couldn't get it down the first.
And then second, Gacey came on strong.
Those leg kicks are just fucking crazy.
I just love watching the guy fight.
I'll just keep watching him fight.
And I think he's fighting for the belt next.
Charles Oliveira or Dustin Poria.
And then we're going to see what happens, man.
Do you think Kamaru, they're saying he might be the greatest pound for pound ever?
I think some people are saying.
They're comparing him to Chandra.
James here was saying Welterweight.
Welterweight.
I saw some people saying he has a shot at being the first one.
I mean, look, you look at the numbers.
It's impressive.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just, it's really impressive.
He's dominant, man.
I think he's only lost one.
I thought it was like maybe his first.
It was like his first fight, I think, or second fight, something like that.
Yeah.
So it's unbelievable.
And he just keeps getting better.
Like the striking.
That's what I was going to say.
It seems like he keeps getting better.
It seems like he just keeps getting better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As of now, they're saying that if Leon Edwards is going to fight Masvedal December 11th.
Yeah.
So you think if Leon Edwards beats Masvedal, he should.
Yeah.
But that would be the next Kamaro fight.
That could be the next Kamaro fight.
Or you make Colby fight Masvedal or something like that.
I mean, I don't know.
Masvedal probably needs a win.
You know what I mean?
Like Masvedal has lost a couple times, but it's Leon Edwards 19-3 against Masvedol 35-15.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Leon should win that fight.
But there's like some good back story to that fight.
I mean, like, Masvedal punched him in backstage.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
So it was like, there's like fun buildup to that fight.
And then Masvedal can promote the fuck out of a fight.
He knows how to do it.
He's an interesting guy.
But if he loses again, we're looking at like a few losses in a row.
And then I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just curious.
I'm curious to see who Colby fights next.
Yeah, I was wondering that.
Got a lot of heart, man.
And I think he won people over at the end with the sign of respect between both of them.
I think even people who hated Colby were like, oh, that was cool.
That was a cool moment.
Yeah.
People like to see Hart.
Yeah.
They like to see someone get their ass fucking kicked and keep on going.
Yeah.
And he did.
Really?
I mean, that's really what Rocky's all about, right?
The whole movie is based on this guy who gets his ass kicked and then just keeps on going.
Yeah.
And I think there's something relatable to that.
Maybe in life, most people.
It's a metaphor for life.
Life is mostly getting your ass kicked.
Yeah.
And then you just keep going and you should win if you keep going.
Yeah.
But yeah, what a fucking card, man.
It was just unbelievable.
And then Canelo obviously fought.
Yeah.
And, you know, Canelo is just dominant, did what we all thought he was going to do.
Yeah, but Plant was no slouch, right?
Plant was nasty.
No, good.
He's good.
But Canelo's just on a different level.
And he's fighting so far above his weight class.
Like, Canelo's just making it hard for himself.
Yeah.
You know, Canelo started fighting, I think, at 154 pounds.
I think he fought Floyd at 155.
Floyd dominated him.
Right.
But like, that will eventually be Floyd's greatest victory.
What's really interesting happening right now with like Floyd and Canelo is that the greater Canelo gets in terms of his legacy, the greater that victory, that flawless victory that Floyd had over Canelo becomes.
That was the most, again, don't know much.
I saw, I don't know, Floyd's last eight, nine fights.
That was the most impressive one.
Yeah.
Like, I've watched everyone from De La Joya on.
That was the one where I was like, God damn, this is a clinic.
Yeah.
But Canelo wasn't nearly the same fighter he is now, right?
So they say.
I mean, it seems like he's on a different level.
Yeah, I think that's what happens when you fight Floyd.
When you fight everyone else, you seem like you're on a different level.
Fair enough, but Triple G.
So this is what I was wondering about.
Canelo's plays in history.
He loses to Floyd.
Triple G, people thought he lost a first and second fight, right?
Debatable.
Then they had the trilogy and then he beat his ass pretty handily the third time, right?
I mean, all of them are debatable.
So I thought that the first one was really close and it could have gone Triple G.
Okay.
I think the second one people thought that could have been Canelo, but they're both debatable.
Okay.
But he won both of them.
But then he has a steroid scandal.
So like, this is a guy who it seems like very far outside that he's going for one of the greatest ever.
How much has all that stuff early on hurt him?
The steroids or the meat?
I think what hurts him is that there's this, we don't know his personality that much and he just doesn't speak English, so he doesn't like resonate to the American people.
And just boxing is on the decline.
We're just not that interested in it.
Right.
Like if Canelo was an MMA fighter fighting in the UFC and he was this dominant, this would be a different story.
Yeah.
I mean, we're talking about global superstar.
Right.
And right now, because there's not that much interest in boxing, there's not a lot of American boxers that we're, you know, super, I don't know how to say it, like just engaged by.
You know, like they don't have a promotional apparatus like the UFC.
The UFC is constantly putting out these fucking crazy promo clips that make every fighter on the roster, no matter how many losses they have, look like the greatest fighter in history.
So you're just getting charged up constantly.
Like the WBC, who was one of the sanctioning parties for boxing, is not doing that with its boxers.
There's no promo coming out with boxers.
Yeah, yeah.
Unless you're a boxer and you put your own promo out.
Boxer Promo Strategies Explained00:02:03
And if they're doing it, it usually sucks.
You need the best editors in the world.
UFC is hiring the best editors in the world to make that shit look incredible.
And it gets you gassed up.
And the only time that happens with boxers is if they're fighting for HBO at HBO or Showtime or whatever one of these pay-per-view outlets is.
But like those pay-per-view outlets don't own the boxer.
Right.
So they have no vested interest in making that boxer big.
They're just doing these one-off things.
Like maybe you have a deal with Showtime.
Maybe you have a two-fight deal.
But the UFC owns these motherfuckers.
So they're like, if I own them, I'm going to make them as big as possible so I can make as much money on them as possible.
Right?
Like, if I am paying them a guaranteed salary, no matter how popular they are, this is their guaranteed salary.
I might as well make them more popular so that I get that difference in income.
Yeah.
Right?
If I make them $100,000 popular and I'm paying them $100,000, I break even.
This was pointless.
But if I have a $100,000 fighter, a guy who I'm paying $100,000 a fight, and they have a $500,000 interest, I just made $400,000.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get to cooking up clips.
Yeah.
It's like the, it's more exploitative, but it might be better for the fighter in the long run.
That's the thing.
It's way better for the fighter because you build your career out.
Yeah.
Like, if I'm a fighter, I'm going with the UFC, even if they pay less.
It's like Netflix.
It's like everybody who's doing Netflix specials outside of Dave Chappelle is accepting less money to be on Netflix.
And Netflix knows that, right?
Because that's the golden goose.
Yeah.
Right.
So you go, okay, I'll do it for far less than I would do on some other platform.
But ideally, I get all these eyeballs and then people want to see me on the road.
They want to see me do these other things.
Right.
You build your career that way.
There are fighters that fight the UFC.
You let the UFC build the fucking shit out of you.
Even if you don't win, go fight in a lesser promotion for more money.
You've become famous.
The UFC made you famous.
You try to sell promotional stuff.
Like, there's a couple of fighters who actually get it.
They're like, listen, I don't make that much fighting for the UFC, but they made me famous or gave me the opportunity to become famous.
And then I can sell all these other things, sponsorships, like crazy.
UFC is not taking their sponsorship.
You got a CBD company giving you money?
Get that money?
Brooklyn Restaurant Rat Infestation00:06:38
Go ahead.
Izzy got a CBD sponsor.
Go ahead.
Boom.
Sean O'Malley's doing it.
Izzy got tons.
It's like, use the opportunity, use the platform, use the leverage, because no other promotional company knows how to promote fighters like this.
Now, you could always fight for more, you know, even wages, that kind of shit.
Like, go for it.
I'm not telling you not to.
Right.
But also recognize what you got.
Yeah.
If you got in this game to only be a fighter and not do any promo and not entertain, you got in the wrong game.
You should have stayed in the Olympics.
Yeah.
Like, the Olympics is for you just win and you don't have to bring anything fun or fancy.
Now you're in entertainment.
Yeah.
Some of the guys know it, and those motherfuckers get paid.
Yeah.
Nobody buying your fucking pay-per-view because I'm not spending $50 because you're technical.
So you're good at fucking grapples.
I don't care.
Yeah.
I couldn't care less.
Yeah.
Make me like you or make me hate you.
That's it.
That's it, man.
That's it.
What else we got, man?
You want to do feelings, no facts?
Let's do feelings, no facts.
Okay, Miles, I'm going to need you to pull the graph for me.
All right.
I just texted too.
Now, this is apparently from NYC Open Data came out with which restaurants in New York City have the most rodent violations.
And the results are not shocking.
Okay.
If you look at the very bottom, Indian restaurants.
Yep, I believe that.
50% of Indian restaurants have rodent violation in New York City.
We're not paying for that shit.
Hakosh, do you have a rebuttal?
Yeah, I'm proud of us.
Okay.
We're saving money, obviously.
You're still eating the food.
You guys still love it.
You guys are slightly above Caribbean rates.
The most is Caribbean, though.
Who saw that coming?
Which I counted.
That's disappointing.
Wait, what?
What do you mean?
It's not even, listen, if you see roaches in an Indian restaurant, it's almost more authentic.
No, roaches or rodent.
This is rodent.
Yeah.
We're talking mice specifically.
Yeah.
Mice or rat?
Mice or rat, yeah.
Which actually makes sense because Caribbeans.
This list is racist.
Honestly, this list is racist.
Well, on the other side, you have donuts.
And who owns most of the Dunkin' Donuts in New York City?
Oh, that's Indians holding it down right there.
So if Indians are making American food, no rodents.
If they're making their own food, rodents everywhere.
Don't we can't help it if the rodents smell delicious food, bro?
What do you want from us?
My point with the Caribbean thing is that Caribbeans can make the worst food taste amazing.
So part of me thinks that they're just fucking eating the rats.
Whoa.
You know what I mean?
They make oxtail delicious.
Interesting point.
All Caribbean food is like, I don't know if I eat that.
Then you eat it and you're like, oh, it's amazing.
I mean, these are staggering.
I mean, it is crazy that all the third world countries are at the bottom of the list.
They're just not as bothered by rats.
Jewish and kosher food.
That one's at the top and they hate rats the most.
Despite, you know, despite the obvious implications.
Jewish kosher.
Let you sit on that.
Let you sit with it, Mark.
I'm just saying it's ironic.
Enjoy the radio.
It's ironic, okay?
I've studied a lot of German propaganda and they had some choice words for you people.
The least amount is 15%.
Yeah, so only 15%.
The average was 35%.
It's New York City, bro.
So you're going to California?
35% of restaurants on the road.
I didn't even know this about your city.
It's mad rodents everywhere.
Yeah, but I. Also, a road of violation might just mean, oh, there's just means you've had one.
There's rat droppings in the fucking behind the fridge.
Yeah.
Well, that means there's that means there's rodents.
What do you think?
Yeah, but I'm not saying that you're not eating there.
There's fucking rats running over your foot.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I managed a restaurant that had mice.
It's not surprising.
Yeah.
And we had to get the mice out of there.
They shut us down and we had to get the mice out of there and like, you know, clog up every hole.
Also, how old were you when you were managing these restaurants?
Like 23 or 24.
Yeah, 22, 23, 24.
Do you think you were well equipped to manage a restaurant at 22?
Not at all.
Not at all.
I was well equipped to convince people I was well equipped.
Yeah.
But it wasn't good.
I would love to see 22-year-old you trying to fucking manage a restaurant.
Oh, God.
It was mad.
Like, what do we do with these rats?
I'll slap them in their faces, these bitch-ass rats.
No, they shut us down.
I remember that.
And we had to get them fucking rats out of there.
I'm from New York.
Why can't you have one rat in a restaurant?
Was it a restaurant in New York?
Yeah, I think you knew me.
The one biscuit barbecue?
No, I definitely didn't know.
He was out there in Brooklyn?
Definitely didn't know you.
You've worked in Brooklyn?
Yeah.
He works in Brooklyn now.
We don't work in Brooklyn.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
First of all, don't.
Hey, I work here.
I like being around Brooklyn.
And we have a rat problem.
There's not a restaurant in Brooklyn, y'all.
This is a studio in Brooklyn.
This is where Netflix is.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a Netflix studio.
When I worked in a restaurant, there would be the rats would eat the poison that was like under the cabinet and stuff.
That's the idea.
And then they'd come out and just be like drunk on poison.
And then a chef would come and fucking smack them with something heavy and kill them.
But they weren't fast.
So they'd come out and like a waitress would scream, but it wasn't like it was running across her foot.
It was like drunkenly coming out, like, ah, that's even worse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because if they're fast enough, they'll be only seen by one or two people.
Yeah.
But if they're nice and slow, oh, that shit was mad sad.
I saw a poisoned rat on the sidewalk and there were just kids just looking at it.
And he was just like kind of dying, like on his side, but like breathing heavy.
And I was like, God, like, what a weird way to start your morning, like watching children see death.
Yeah.
New York is a wild city.
I had to go to a podcast.
Be like, anyway.
That's crazy, though, that the best is donuts.
And 15% of donut places have had mice.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I'm assuming they're throwing.
New York City.
They're on the first floor.
Think how many first floor apartments got mice.
Yeah.
All businesses are on the first floor.
And it's food everywhere.
It's going to be mice.
Yeah.
I feel like you just found out there's like germs on like Coke cans.
No, because I was.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
Hold on.
Wait a minute.
What?
You're like, wait, a dog's mouth has germs in it?
That's gross.
I just knew that there were neighborhoods that had a lot of rats.
Yeah, it's called New York City.
Yeah, like, if you look up like First Street between First and Second Avenue, that's the most like rat-infested area in New York City.
It's disgusting.
Really?
Disgusting.
Wait, actually?
In Manhattan?
Yeah.
Brooklyn.
There was like a meat factory there back in the day.
So they just started to create their homes and shit there.
And then you can't walk down that street.
Like we put the garbage on the streets in New York.
If you walk down the street and just like nudge the garbage, you'll see 10 rats run out in that neighborhood.
That specific block.
Really?
First street between 1st and 2nd Avenue.
If you walk between my house and Mark's house in Brooklyn, under the BQE, there's just a huge empty spot.
Oh, yeah.
It's almost like a zoo.
They're behind a fence.
Yeah.
And there's hundreds.
So much so that me and Shifty were walking over from Mark's place.
And he goes, Yo, I got to take a picture of this.
And they're just there, right?
Hundreds.
Yeah, dude.
It's just.
They weren't contested during COVID.
They.
They what?
They just weren't contested during COVID.
Yeah.
They were great.
They were the only ones that weren't afraid of the virus.
Yeah.
Ted Cruz Texas Secession Plans00:11:47
They never shut down, dude.
They were Florida, these rats.
I don't know if we spoke about this on the podcast, but like the outdoor dining thing.
Yeah.
They're all under there.
Yeah, it's like this has been the best thing for rats.
Yeah.
Did we talk about this?
Really?
It makes sense.
But like, yeah, so you're basically you're eating on wood that has these little spaces, right?
So food is falling through the cracks, and they have a safe, secure, dark place to go and eat because food is falling on their faces.
Exactly.
It's like fucking buffets.
It's warm, bro.
You get heat from the street.
Nice.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just the perfect place for rats to fester, right?
So every time you're eating on one of those little stations outside, I don't know what they call them, like the those little banks.
Outdoor dining.
The outdoor dining thing.
He had the dollhouses.
So it's like every single time there's definitely rats.
Which that counts towards the road of violation?
It's 100%.
100%.
Yeah.
Okay, what else?
All right.
Ted Cruz was asked about Texas seceding from the United States.
He was like, no, I don't think we're there yet, but I get the sentiment.
I get why people want to.
Why?
Because if we secede.
Texas, y'all ain't going nowhere.
Shut the fuck up.
If he goes, if we secede, we take NASA, we take the military, we take all the oil.
And people are going crazy.
And then here's the best part.
Before you say that, let me say, they said, all right, who would be president?
And he said, Joe Rogan.
He might be the president of Texas.
Let me tell y'all something right now.
I mean this sincerely.
Texas, cut that shit out.
Y'all not allowed to go nowhere.
So sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
Talk about seceding from the great union.
What happened last time?
Part of the country wanted to secede.
Crack, crack.
Backs got cracked.
Total war.
Tecumseh Sherman.
We would come light that whole thing up.
Have the whole fucking state looking like Austin.
If Texas even dare secede from the union, we'll make the whole state Austin.
That's what we'll do.
We'll send the squad down there.
The squad will run fucking.
Literally the squad.
The squad.
Yeah.
AOC.
AOC.
The Muslims.
Elon Omar.
AOC and the Muslims.
That's what it is.
AOC and the Muslims.
Sounds like a good band, actually.
Say what?
It sounds like a nice band.
AOC and the Muslims.
You can make music.
That same song.
What is the kisses?
I don't think we could beat the whole union, but state for state, we'd fuck up every state.
Yo, Every state.
One-on-one.
Ain't nobody care about that shit.
It's not going nowhere.
That's because y'all pussies in.
He's not going nowhere.
That's because New York can't beat nobody.
Y'all pussy.
Hey, don't let us call in some loans.
We the bank of Bravos out here in this bitch.
Don't let China call in some loans.
Don't let China call in some loans.
China calling your shit too?
They're calling yourself a shot.
Hey, no first.
You us.
We don't want to be.
We call in loans, bitch.
We don't want to.
We're calling it loans, bitch.
Oh, okay.
We just won't pay him.
We just won't pay him.
What you gonna do not pay him?
What happened last time someone tried to secede?
That was different.
What happened?
That was different.
Y'all can't have nothing no more.
No, no.
We're gonna take your flag.
We're gonna take everything.
I'm not even gonna call Texas.
What are you gonna call it?
I'll take Texas back.
What you gonna call it?
You think Joe Rogan?
Newer York.
See, last time.
It's called Newer York.
The newest York.
Yeah, there it is.
Last time we had Robert Lee, he wasn't as good as Grant.
Now we got Rogan, bro.
Rogan ready for war at all times.
Don't be with us.
Son, Rogan named with you, dog.
You think Rogan wants to secede?
I don't see a Texas flag in his studio.
I see an American flag.
That's all I'm trying.
That's secession shit.
Cut that shit out.
Keep it out your fucking mouth.
I don't want to hear it.
If I hear it again, it's going to be a problem.
Text Rogan, see if you want to be president of Texas right now.
I'm going to text him right now and see if you want to be president of Texas.
I'm going to text him.
Who said he's going to be president of Texas?
Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz.
I don't even want to defend Ted Cruz, yo.
No, no, that's what it is.
I think Ted Cruz is trying to get in with Rogan.
Oh, yeah.
He wants to be on the podcast.
Yeah, Rogan will be the president.
Boring ass podcast.
That'll be.
Ted Cruz is a fucking loser.
He also got into beef with Big Bird.
Ted Cruz.
Over what?
Big Bird got vaccinated.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, is Ted an anti-vax?
There's a very funny exchange from Big Bird.
Yes.
Verified saying he got the vaccine, and then Oscar the Grouch, the verified, from them being like, I don't know, man.
I don't trust these vaccines.
I've been doing a lot of rain.
I think they're using them to make us gay.
It's a really funny exchange.
Maybe it's Photoshop.
If somebody sends me some shops, fam, there's no way.
I hope it's not.
Why can't it not be?
Can I live in this world?
You can, but Oscar the Grouch is hilarious.
Ted Cruz actually did respond and said, yo, this is propaganda.
Stop trying to tell me.
Oh, shit, dumbass.
Stop trying to get a fucking shit.
Because he fucking retarded what you thought.
We didn't figure that out.
Big Bird got vaccinated for real?
Yeah.
Stupid fucking Olivia Rodrigo doing propaganda.
At least this one, I trust.
Yo, thank God we got this vaccine for people to complain about, bro.
What would they complain about if we didn't have this whole vaccine?
Nothing to talk about, bro.
Like, literally, what would they complain about?
What do you think they would?
What issue do you think that they would make up?
You're talking about masks or something?
Talk about Trump for a while.
Masks and vaccines.
Let's say there's no masks or vaccines.
Let's say COVID is good.
What is the issue?
Critical race theory.
Critical race theory.
Actually, thank God we have the vaccine.
I don't want to fucking deal with that critical race theory.
Yeah, that's good for you.
That thing is too smart for people.
Like, just hearing critical, most people go, I ain't learning about that.
Do you know what I mean?
If it was called anything else, if it was called like, learn about whiteness, like, I think people would actually get into it.
But critical race theory is just too sophisticated.
It's not worth the time.
I tried reading about it.
I was like, yeah, I didn't have to make it this.
You just dumb that shit down.
Exactly.
I refuse to learn what it is.
You read it and you'll be like, you could have done this simpler.
Yeah.
Do you want to tell me?
Son, the language is mad flowery.
Yeah.
Shit is mad flowery, bro.
Yeah.
I don't want to hear it.
Get flower it.
I don't want that's what critical race theory is what the rest of America thinks when we hear Texas wants to secede.
That's what we think.
We're like, what?
Also, Puerto Rico, you're never going to be a state.
Why not?
Why not?
Fuck the flag up, son.
Symmetry.
You better go and get nine more.
Well, we can lose one state.
Go get nine more states.
We're trying to consolidate the Dakotas.
No.
We need two Dakotas.
No, we don't.
I don't think we need one, to be honest with you.
No, we need two Dakotas.
Wait, why?
Because they were there.
Protecting us from the Carolina.
The Photoshop show coming up.
Yeah.
100%.
We need a two-dakotas.
And what are we doing a show in South Dakota?
I don't know which fucking one we're doing.
What if we get rid of Oregon?
Fargo North Dakota.
Yeah, you ain't doing South Dakota.
Brushmores in South Dakota.
Make that Dakota, bro.
I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
What about Virginia?
We need two.
The Dakota people better be going to Virginia.
I'm actually on your side.
I used to kind of do a joke about that.
Oh, yeah, man.
I had one too, yeah.
Fuck.
I just wanted to disagree with you.
But I thought it would create more tension and more fun.
But yeah, but no, no, it needs to be even.
I care about how the flag looks.
So if they do it, they do have to remove it.
Yeah.
We consolidate.
We get rid of West Virginia.
Put that.
That's a suburb.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Oh, yeah.
It's a lot.
We don't, yeah.
It's just too much work for Puerto Rico to become a state.
Yeah.
Like getting rid of a state would be too much.
Like all those jobs and the senators and fucking whatever.
What are they called?
House of Representative.
Everybody be bitching and shit.
So I don't know if we'd be able to make it happen.
But yeah, Puerto Rico, no chance.
All right.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Interesting cricket match from over the weekend.
Oh, yeah, you little bitch.
India beats Scotland by eight wickets.
Little pussy.
You have eight wickets.
Y'all got to put it on you, bro.
Dude, imagine we played Pakistan how much they would have beat us by.
Son.
Dude, imagine what Pakistan would have been.
Because we only lost to y'all in your stupid sport by eight wickets.
That's a lot.
And also, it's probably not even Scottish people.
It's just Indians who moved to Scotland that are playing.
We don't play cricket.
Just Indian B team.
What do you play?
Say it's Indian B team.
What are you good at?
What, Scotland?
Yeah, sports.
Name a sport you're good at.
Are you, though?
War.
Are you, though?
100%.
Which war?
Inventing things.
Oh, really?
What'd you invent?
What'd you invent?
We didn't invent zero.
That's for sure.
What'd you invent?
Golf.
Surgery.
Oh, golf.
Oh, wow.
We invented that?

Oh, the thing that's dead?
The thing that you always say is dead?
What are you going to watch it on?
You're a good show.
Son, you're a show.
My big-ass computer monitor, bro.
That's what you watch things on?
Yeah.
I thought you were successful.
No.
You don't have a flat screen?
No, I got a flat screen.
That's just a big-ass computer monitor these days.
Y'all made some big-ass box, son.
We say, hey, Indians say, hey, let's make that smaller.
Let's make that thinner.
Oh, you copping out, bro.
Let's make that thinner.
Copping out, bro.

You're taking credit for the pops who left him?
Yeah.
Put the battery in his back.
Come on, bro.
Logarithms.
Come on.
Oh, Lord.
I bet if Alexander Hamilton's dad stuck around, he wouldn't have got shot up like some bitch by Burr.
Probably would have won that duel.
Oh, if his dad stuck around.
If his dad stuck around, Scottish punk.
Maybe.
Walked off.
Maybe.
Like a walked off.
He did.
Eight wicked stuff.
Y'all got destroyed.
I got slaughtered.
We don't care about your sports.
Son.
The thing is, you lost in the one thing that you're supposed to be good at.
You lost to Pakistan.
Is it crushed that he pronounces Pakistan so well, too?
You know, they call Pakistan. The Green Goblins here.
But you did lose to Pakistan.
Yeah, yeah, that happened.

Yeah.
And this is just what you have to do.

It happens.
It's what you have to do to get through it.
Here's the reality.
You lost.
So if you lose one game in a series, did you lose the series?
Is it a series?
No, but it's double elimination, so we're not eliminated.
Oh, but do you think you'll get a chance again?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And what do you think will happen?
