Conservative Women and Sexual Adventure00:14:47
What's up, everybody?
And welcome to the Flagru Podcast.
It's your boy Schultzy.
I'm here with Akash Singh, Mark Gagnon, Alex Media, Miles Media.
We got the truffle, and of course, we have Mariachi Hidalgo NYC.
Hey, big RIP to the GOAT, the greatest of all time, Vicente Fernandez, passed over the weekend.
It is tragic, but the greatest of all time, for real, for real, for real.
I said it on Instagram, you know, the Michael Jordan of Mariachi, but Michael Jordan might be the Vicente Fernandez of basketball.
And if you don't know who he is, please go check him out.
I got to say thank you so much to my boy Javier Loya, who put me on when I was in college.
We'll be out there singing Mariachi.
So, Javier, thank you so much.
Now, let's get this podcast started.
All right, guys, let's get right into it.
Crazy story that happened over the weekend.
Turns out, Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan's wife, used to give the fire dome.
It was, there was a tweet that went out.
It was in reference to Madonna, who gives a fuck about Madonna.
But the tweet was comparing Madonna at 63 to Nancy Reagan at 64, right?
Madonna's on this bed, like looking, you know, all like a snack.
Like, I mean, look, she looks great for 63.
She's a snack.
Yes, she's a Warthers original, but a snack.
Yeah.
And then the next picture is of Nancy Reagan and their whole family and everything.
And this was tweeted out by Ben Shapiro's sister.
And in a way to discredit Ben Shapiro's sister, people started exposing certain things about Nancy Reagan, a reputation that she had that I was not aware of.
Were you guys aware of this?
They didn't teach me this in school.
Did not teach us this at all.
They always leave out the important shit in school.
They don't teach you taxes.
They should do it.
There's oral history in oral history.
Yes.
Yes.
So basically, this was written in Kitty Kelly's biography of Nancy Reagan.
She was renowned in Hollywood for performing oral sex.
Just say yes, Nancy.
In the days when she was Nancy, Davis was known to give the best blowjob in town, not only in the evening, but in offices.
That was one of the reasons she was very popular on the MGM lot.
It must have made her very popular with Ronnie as well.
Wow.
Wow.
Which I didn't get what that means.
Like best offices, like best blowjobs, not only in the evening, but also in offices.
Yeah, that means she wasn't just going to their house and fucking him.
She was doing it.
Yeah, she wasn't sucking dick after dinner.
She was sucking dick after lunch, Mark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pulling up to the desk.
You know what the most impressive thing is this is?
If you're a woman that's hot, you can become the first lady by sucking dick.
After lunch, bro.
No, that makes perfect sense to me.
Ah, that's not impressive.
That's privileged.
Here's where it's really impressive.
Yeah.
Best blowjob in town in Hollywood.
Yeah.
A whole bunch of girls back then who are like, look, if I'm going to make it, I got to suck some dick.
That was what it was back then.
She wasn't doing it in Hollywood.
Yo, did Nancy a bigger star?
Here's a question: one, why wouldn't she a bigger star?
Two, did she start?
Did she start the avalanche that became Harvey Weinstein?
Did she set the precedent?
Maybe nobody was sucking dick for roles before that.
But she came out there and started giving up the throat.
And then all of a sudden, these executives were like, I guess we get throat for roles.
But let's not associate such a bad thing with major roles.
I don't know anybody who did that.
It was only the, what's that fucking Marilyn Monroe?
And she sucked presidential dick too.
She didn't even become first lady.
Loser.
Yo, real talk.
We got to re-look at, what is her name?
Marilyn Monroe.
She sucks, bro.
Yeah.
She really Britney Renner.
Throat trash.
Out here sucking dick, not getting nobody for it.
Think about it.
Nancy motherfucking Reagan sucked dick and became the president's wife, made that motherfucker the president.
Sucked his dick into the presidency.
That's my lord.
I don't even talk about Marilyn Monroe.
She was Joe DiMaggio's wife, though.
That's not bad.
Who the fuck is Joe DiMaggio?
You're a New Yorker.
You don't know Joe DiMaggio.
I know who Joe DiMaggio is.
It means nothing to me.
Yeah.
It means nothing to me.
Reagan?
Reagan.
We're talking about presidents, not baseball players.
Baseball ain't even a sport.
I'm saying.
Okay.
America's pastime.
That shit is past.
That shit sucks.
Real talk.
He could have been a bad man.
Talk some shit about baseball.
Y'all talk about my fucking pants being high every episode.
That's baseball.
That's baseball.
These motherfuckers purposely put their socks all high up, walking around like idiots.
This is what we were saying before.
She went from the floatist to the throatist.
To the throatist.
The woman is the throatist.
And we giving respect to Marilyn Monroe because she could stand on top of a grate with the air coming up.
That's fire, though.
That was actually kind of cool.
She had the heavies.
You know what's even more cool?
Oh, yeah.
Sucking an actor's dick and then sucking a president's dick.
She sucked a presentation.
And it's the same guy, bro.
And she did that.
She did that.
She did this credit.
This snitching ass bitch, Kitty Kelly, wants to spread rumors about how fire the head was.
Nobody ever talked about Kitty Kelly's head.
Nobody ever wrote a biography about how dick you suck, hater.
You know, I think I read she tried to do this to make Republicans look bad because they were shaming Bill Clinton so much for getting for cheating and somebody else cheating.
Did she mean conservative women don't suck dick?
Yeah, that's what she's trying to act like.
And honestly, this just tells you this just tells you how much Hillary failed.
Because Ronald was faithful.
Ronald stayed married.
Ronald was happy.
Ronald loved Nancy.
And why?
Because she was the throw touch.
Let me go a little further.
Because conservative women suck better dick than liberal women.
All right, now you got to defend that, though.
That's classical.
It's a fact.
That's classical.
It's a fact.
How you going to put your hand through a liberal woman's hair when that shit is buzzed down and dyed purple?
How you going to do that?
Yo, a liberal, a nice conservative woman got some long locks, put your hand into more comfortable on their knees, a nice religious, Christian, conservative world or some atheist liberal bitch marching.
Oh, we got to march to go through this bitch.
Cause you're getting away from me all the time.
Knees all tired from walking.
Yeah.
Knees all tired from walking.
Then you can't do what you got to do.
Gluck.
Gluck.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is what we were saying before.
It's like, if you spend all your time saving sex from marriage, you got to get good at something else.
Yep.
You know what I mean?
If you're short, you better be good at shooting.
Uh-huh.
You know what I mean?
Steph Curry's 6'3.
You gotta learn how to shoot.
You're not gonna be in there banging on motherfuckers.
That's what these conservative women are.
They're not giving a coochie out to everybody, so their head gotta be fire.
Absolutely fire.
Also, they're so horny because they're not having sex.
They gotta do something with dicks.
They just want to play with it.
You know what I mean?
You know, you're starving for bread, but you're trying to diet so you don't eat bread.
So when the bread's on the table, you just squeeze it.
No, that just means no one's ever done this.
Oh, damn.
Okay, fine.
But still, my plate.
I do that to everybody's plate.
I just got to squeeze it.
I got to mash.
I got to do something that that's them with dicks.
They want inside them so bad.
What's the one place it can go?
Throat.
Ear, also.
Ear, but ain't a low-key.
That's what they said about the Catholic school girls back in the day.
They were just going in there.
Did you call it?
Yeah, the poop hole loophole.
Of course, the poop hole loophole.
Like, I don't know what an asshole is.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, that, like, God don't know.
You know what I mean?
Like, God didn't put it there.
That's not why I made those.
Yeah, that's an exit only.
Oh, no.
He knows why he made that.
I'm saying he knows why I did that.
You think you made it like a turnstile on a subway?
You can come in or you can go out.
Or go out.
It's whatever you want.
Yeah.
It's really whatever you want.
I'm listening to probably being like, oh, that's sometimes you could rub the turnstile while you're getting head.
That's crazy.
You know what I mean?
And sometimes you could lick the turnstile also while you're getting head.
You just lick it and rub it, but never put anything in it.
But you could lick it and rub it.
No sense.
Why are you getting head done?
While I'm getting head, I can get my shit licked and rubbed.
Wait, what?
No.
What?
A turnstile?
Good.
Right now, I thought that it was a metaphor for my dick or for my asshole.
Yeah, the turnstile is my asshole.
Okay.
So I would like that play with.
Okay.
I'd like that play with babe.
In case you're listening, we're getting married in six days.
So I'd like to set a precedent.
I want a relationship like Ronald Reagan.
You want to be treated like the president.
I want to be treated like a president.
Okay.
I cannot believe they try to shame this woman.
Shout out to all the conservative women out there getting their fucking esophagus busted down.
That's how you hold a family down.
That's how you keep a family.
How do you know they're not more prudish, though?
How do you know they're not like, oh, I can't do it?
Because they get divorced less.
Nah.
Bill Clinton cheated.
It's a case in point.
What is Monica Lewinsky?
He was the first Democrat after Reagan.
She's liberal, Monica Lewinsky.
That's what they encourage predatory behavior.
Liberal girls don't give good head at all.
Liberal girls don't give good head.
You think Weezy?
But they got fireboxing.
You think Wheezy and Mandy give head good?
I don't know.
Ain't no way.
Ain't no way.
Right?
Talking all that shit about how they give great head all the goddamn time.
No way.
Capped.
It's capped.
Sombrero.
It's sombrero.
It's giant head.
Sombrero.
What's the Bible studies?
Brianna?
Brianna Bible studies?
Brianna.
Yeah.
Turn a pillar into salt or something.
What is a pillar of salt?
Why is it so salty?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Slurped off all the liquid, left salt.
That's how you know it's firehead.
That's how you know it's firehead.
Turned the cum into just salt.
Like, took just the liquid out, spit out the salt.
Bible studies with Brianna.
Give me a line.
That's a compliment, though.
That's a fire cop.
I bet you when she chooses the man that she wants to be with for the rest of her life, it's going to be fire.
Gotcha.
All right.
That's what I assume.
Why would she not want to please the man she wants to be with for the if God gave you that man?
Aren't you going to do something good for him?
If you don't believe in God, why are you going to try to please him?
You just thinking about you.
If you can't hold a relationship, ladies, start looking at the man, the woman in the mirror.
You know what I mean?
Real talk.
That's a good thing.
And that's why his mouth is probably closed.
And that's the issue.
Because think about it.
These liberals, all they're doing is thinking about themselves.
What can I do to make me happy?
If you're a person of God, you're already trying to make a man happy.
Service.
In your life, every single day, you're like, how can I make that man happy?
Yes.
That's right.
What do liberal women give better, though?
Do you think they do anything better?
Grief is good.
Opinions.
They got fire.
Firebox.
They got firebox because they started earlier.
No, they got fireballs.
You're going to get a threesome with a little bit of a box all carved up from abortion.
Oh, my God.
What do you mean carved up?
It got tattoos on it and shit.
It's like a Native American cave or something.
Yes.
Buffalo's in it?
Buffalo, spears.
All them IUDs they've been shoving up there.
Boxes full.
It should look like a studio apartment.
Some of them boxes.
You know what I mean?
The Schmishmorchin Clinic just leaving things in there.
Yeah.
Gloves and shit.
Use your mouth for more than taking plan B's, bitch.
Do you know what I mean?
Jesus.
I'm just snapping and pointing.
Liberal women got to be good at something.
You got to give it up to one of them.
What are they good at?
I don't know.
They got to be good at something.
Nagging.
Probably more sexually adventurous.
They probably bring more things into the bedroom.
Yeah, because they don't have good head.
Like, let me tell you something.
If the head is fire, you never need an adventure.
Do you know what I'm saying?
If the head is fire, like, listen, if the head is fire, you don't need an adventure in sex or in life.
Nobody's gonna zip line in if they got good dick suck at home.
You think I'm good dick suck at home?
Why you want to zip line, yo?
This is fun.
Just get your dick suck.
That's the adventure.
You can't come zip lining.
Say what?
You can't, like, zip line is just a thing.
Exactly.
Say what you just said.
You can't come ziplining.
Exactly.
You're some real stupid.
Exactly.
No, but that's all I'm saying.
If the head is fire at home, you don't need to do adventurous shit.
You don't need to.
It's facts.
Because it tends to be white people doing all that adventurous shit.
Yo, what you say is who goes to Africa to build the wells?
White women.
White women.
Liberal or conservative.
Liberal.
Yeah.
Exactly, bro.
Exactly.
They could have gone either way.
Exactly.
But I hit that exact strong.
You believe that.
I'm just saying, bro.
Hey, conservative dudes eat better pussy.
You think so?
100%.
Yeah.
I believe that.
I don't know if I believe that.
I believe that.
Honestly.
I don't believe that.
I don't even believe it.
I just said it.
I don't believe it.
I just said it.
But Latinos tend to be conservative and they're known for their box eating.
Oh, that's a good ass point.
I'm back on.
I got you, bro.
Yeah, thank you.
That's a good ass point.
Not my Latino, though.
I'm still not sold, but listen, we're talking about women right now.
What could they be doing to keep a man?
Like, I want to please my girl.
Like, I got to look out for her.
It's got to be closed organized.
Yeah.
I see 15 of them.
In all seriousness, I think liberal dudes probably eat better pussy.
Yeah, because they're because they're losers.
If you're good at eating pussy, your dick is small.
That's a fact.
I don't know.
It's a fact.
Most women can't pay for it.
It's penetration.
It's a fact.
That one's a fact.
If you got the meat, if you got serious meat, full schmeat or whatever.
If you got full fucking meat, Arby's, if you're coming through at Arby's, have you got that teddy self?
You don't need to do anything else.
It's like I could lick it and then we could play around, or I could fill it.
And then it's like end of discussion.
You're not worried about anything else.
Is it a dick size or is it the way you're using it?
If you have a small dick, you have to use it in a certain way.
If you've got a big dick, you just get to be there.
You know what I'm saying?
100%, bro.
I don't know if I believe that.
100%.
I fucked plenty of guys with big dicks.
And them motherfuckers don't do nothing.
No, but seriously, that's a fact, bro.
It's a fact of life.
So shouts to all the conservative women that are going to town.
Going to town.
But if you've been a man, you want a liberal dude then.
I'm trying to think about the head that I've had in my life from conservative chicks.
Not as necessarily dynamic.
Kind of a one-note kind of thing, right?
Actually, low-key.
Conservative head is fire, dude.
Conservative head is fire, dude.
Yo.
The Fire of Conservative Head00:07:35
Passion and love.
Really?
Yo.
You know why I believe liberal men give better head and conservative women?
Because God wants them together to create balance.
You got to have different opinions that helps balance out the world, bring us all to center.
So liberal men, better head, conservative women.
Come on, it's not even close.
Conservative women, better head.
Not even close.
100%.
I can't believe this is how you could possibly think liberal women would give good head.
You have no idea.
And the more conservative you are as a woman, the better the head.
Like Ben Shapiro's sister, firehead, I bet.
Yeah.
That girl could suck cock.
Okay.
Guaranteed.
She's still married.
How about we just say this?
Ben Shapiro's sister, married.
Will remain so.
Remain so.
Happy family.
Guaranteed because of how good throat that she gets.
You should get top from someone.
They give you an option, right?
Yeah.
Nancy Reagan.
Yeah.
Formerly Nancy Davis.
Yeah.
Or Madonna.
Oh, it's not even.
Oh, it's not even close.
Ain't nobody writing about Madonna's head.
Yo, all that bitch doesn't talk about sex.
And nobody ever said, I got great head from Madonna.
No one has ever said that.
More you talk about sex.
You know what I mean?
Think about that.
I'm just saying, the more you talk about this sex.
She kissed Drake.
Drake was like, yuck.
Yeah.
Tweet.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
He was like, I'm not into it.
Yeah, he's like, what you doing?
And he likes older women too.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah, I think that she's, what is it called?
Like, it's a posturing.
You know, like when you're covering up her.
Overcompensating.
Overcompensating.
100%.
Oh, lack of generosity.
That's why she divorced.
So then how do you get, like, how do you get your girl on board then?
Like, what should a guy do if they want, I mean, hypothetically.
I make my shirt.
My girl listened to Daily Wire with Ben Shapiro.
I got the Daily Wire going on all the time.
I got Crowder.
You know, who's Rush Limbaugh?
Rush Limbaugh.
I got the Blaze.
You know what I mean?
I got all these motherfuckers.
If you girls listen to NPR, what would you do?
Say again?
If your girls listen to NPR and you walk in the middle of the world, I got to turn that shit off immediately, bro.
Smack the iPod out of it.
Yeah.
What do we listen to NPR?
Abstinence music.
Real talk.
That's how you become unhappy in your marriage, unhappy in your relationship.
100%.
Have you stroked to Glenn Beck?
No.
Never?
I don't do that.
I don't care about it.
You ever put it on in the background while you're stroking?
No, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I can't stroke to them, but I have to let their ideas permeate my wife and our relationships.
And by osmosis, it makes the head phenomenal.
They don't even realize it.
But the more that they talk about these, the immigrants, they're coming, the fucking horde or whatever, what do they call them?
The caravan, all that kind of stuff.
And you're listening to it and your mouth starts to get wet.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, ladies, try it right now.
Like, you put on some of that Ben Shapiro.
Listen, read Ben Shapiro's sister's tweets and your mouth will just start getting wet.
The way that she tweets.
Have it in the background, like white noise, white power noise.
Just have it in the background.
And yo, suddenly your salivary glance, just activate it.
Yes, dude.
You could tell by the way that Ben Shapiro's sister tweets, wet mouth.
Oh, I bet.
Wet mouth.
Super.
Classic.
Super soapy.
Think how much you're just a classic.
You just start generating saliva.
Yep.
Classic.
100%.
100%.
I'll read some of her tweets.
Go.
Turns out good decisions lead to good outcomes.
Oh, outcomes.
Yeah.
Which lead to happiness.
It sure does come out.
What do you think about it?
Fire.
Great conservative woman.
Yo, Tommy Laren.
Is that how you pronounce your name?
Tommy Lauren.
Got both names wrong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yo, can I be honest with you?
Mark pretending he don't jerk off this bitch every day.
Let me be honest with you.
Tommy Laren?
Oh, yeah.
No.
She's putting it down.
Cap.
Yeah.
Cap.
I don't buy her as a real conservative.
I think that she's kind of posturing.
I'm glad you said that because I felt like she wouldn't be good at it and I had to justify this argument.
Yeah.
And I think it's kind of fake.
And I think she's just wearing the costume because it can lead to success.
You need a real conservative woman.
Real conservative.
You could tell if they're a real conservative woman by how they give the throat up.
It's facts, bro.
Yep.
It's facts, bro.
I mean, it's just what it is.
Candace Owens.
Oof.
Oof.
It's crazy.
Is it crazy?
It could be cap.
It could be cap.
But it could be cap.
I'll be honest.
It could be opportunistic cap.
She's standing there.
She might be an opportunist.
I don't know if the head is fire.
That's how I would know if she's really truly a conservative and believes everything she says.
Sometimes I think she's saying stuff for attention.
So, if you were like a reporter and there was a conservative woman running for like governor or something, what would you ask her?
If I was a reporter, yeah, and she's running for governor, running for president, and you're the reporter of the room.
Okay.
So I can be her if you want.
Yeah, sure.
Any other questions?
I have a question.
Yeah, okay.
You right here?
With a sombrero?
In the front row?
Yeah, I have a question.
You with the sombrero.
This earthquake's going crazy.
Yeah.
I have a question for you.
Yeah, what's your question?
And Candace, you're running for office.
Well, my name is not Candace.
I'm not sure.
Any hypothetical conservative woman, what question would you ask?
To vet their conservativeness.
Yeah.
Oh.
To make sure they're about it and not capping.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Last question.
You don't have it.
Okay.
I have a question.
Yeah.
And what office are they running for?
Governor of Florida.
Okay.
You're running for governor of Florida.
Yep.
Do you suck cocks good with your throat?
I feel like that's an inappropriate question to ask.
I hope there's no more questions.
We're not taking any more questions.
Thank you for your time.
I don't see that one has any bearing on my office.
No, it doesn't have any bearing on your office.
It has bearing on your personal life, which is none of my business.
So that's why I would never ask that question.
Out of respect.
Yeah.
Is the building falling down?
What is happening?
Fucking Jurassic Park.
Yeah, dude.
What the fuck is going on?
Yeah, I don't know.
I just think that I'm just like so proud of Nancy Reagan.
Yeah.
Yo, honestly, dude, this made me a Reagan Republican.
I'm a Reagan Republican.
Yeah.
This is it, dude.
Listen, these are my values: family.
Okay.
Staying together, lots of head.
These are things that I stand with.
Lower taxes, 100%.
I'm aligned with everything.
Yo, if you just state Republican values, do you guys disagree with any of them?
Just state the ones.
Now, it's positioned in this way.
Well, you can state liberal values.
Of course, of course, of course, of course.
But it's positioned in this way so that you seem like an absolute baboon if you disagree with any of them.
But state the Republican values.
It's family.
Family.
Religion.
Yeah.
Family God, guns.
Religion, enough.
Small government.
They should be able to protect guns.
Guns.
First Amendment.
Well, they won't say guns.
They'll say protect your family and your home.
Protect the Constitution.
Yeah.
That's what they'll say.
And then fire throat.
Is that one of them?
That's what we're saying now.
Like, what if they took that on?
What if they're like, listen, yo, we give fire throat.
Like, dude, you would you realize conservatives?
We don't give fire throat to just anybody, but to our man, we make sure he's super happy and the throat that we give is way better.
You would crush liberals.
All these liberal women just walk around thinking that they're better in bed than these Republicans just because they're conservative and they don't go around throwing a pussy everywhere.
But if they found out that they're actually more trash and these dudes were happier, not because of God or religion or any of these things, but because their wives were just going full fucking clock.
Oh, man.
All them purple states, they're going red quick.
They're going red.
What dude isn't going to vote for head?
What dude isn't going to vote for head?
Fighting Through Wild Times00:15:26
Just come out there.
Yo, if Trump runs in 2024, just say it, yo.
Say it.
Plucked her out of Slovenia for the gluck.
Right?
Like, that's it.
Just say it.
This is what makes me happy.
It's my longest marriage.
I had a kid at 80 years old.
Why?
She wanted one.
Head is fire.
Gonna give it to her.
Gotta give it to her.
Yo, Nancy I heard used to really kind of low-key run shit.
Like, she had a lot of political power.
You know why?
Because she gave up the head.
What political powers you have?
Yeah.
Apparently, he consulted her on everything.
Apparently, Reagan and Nancy, they were like very like, he ran shit by her.
She had a lot of power relative to most first ladies.
Was she his brain trust?
That'll be a little way in line soon.
Yeah, man.
I heard Hillary, too busy trying to be president of her goddamn self.
That's why that bitch lost at everything.
Yeah.
Now, we talked about this briefly before, but do you want to recap?
Hottest first lady?
Now that you know she got the fire.
Like I said before, Melania, Melania, Melania, but it's Melania, then Nancy, and then probably.
Michelle.
No.
It's Melania and Nancy, and then probably what was the one who got the brains on her?
Say what you have to say to not be Jackie.
What was it?
Jackie Kennedy.
Jackie Kennedy.
Yeah.
Real tongue, dude.

Great day, great day, great day.
Second to last day that I'm doing a podcast before I'm getting married.
It's about to go.
It's wedding week.
It's wedding week.
We are officially in wedding week.
I was very impressed by my girl, and I think that this might be just a female quality in general.
My girl's ability to fall asleep while watching movies or TV.
Like, we were watching one of the best UFC cards in, I don't want to say history, right?
But I'll say it.
It was unbelievable.
One of the greatest upsets in fight sport history.
Right.
Right.
And my girl was passed the fuck out.
Just passed the fuck out.
Like, didn't even make it through the noons fight.
The noons fight, it's girls fighting.
This is supposed to be what you're interested in, if anything, completely knocked out.
And I'm like, I'm sitting there and I'm just like, why was Cosby pilling these bitches out to just put on something mildly entertaining?
Put on your own show.
You made a show.
Put it on.
The girls will fall asleep and you shouldn't do it, but you could do what you wanted to do.
And I was just, it was unbelievable.
I'm like screaming.
Like I'm shaking feet over my legs, like moving them.
And unbelievable ability is just passing.
It wasn't even that late, right?
Like the fight.
I mean, maybe at midnight.
It's at midnight.
You know what I mean?
Like, but still.
Yeah, it wasn't that late because by the time I got off stage, basically everything was over.
Like I got, I did a 9.45 show, get off stage, and pretty much everything is done.
Yeah.
So she's falling asleep at like 11.30.
And man, good for you.
Yeah.
Why didn't he use that in the defense?
Why didn't he say like, oh no, we were watching the Super Bowl or something like really, really boring for women and she just passed out.
Like I didn't pill her.
Every guy went in the jury to be like, oh, yeah, I know he is.
Yeah, she fell asleep on her own.
That could have been his defense.
She fell asleep on her own.
She would have been guilty, but that part they'd have been like, well, that.
I gave her a cappuccino.
Fell asleep.
There's nothing that these girls can stay awake for.
There's nothing.
Like, honestly, I'm glad that I'm doing the vows in person.
Don't make them too good.
If you're a Zoom wedding, I'm shocked that everybody just didn't fall asleep in the middle of it.
Yeah.
Well, some people might have.
Who noticed?
You don't know.
Who noticed?
How do I know?
That's a good point.
Hey, you can sleep if you want to.
Sleep better.
Yeah.
Slumped up.
Slumped the fuck up.
Anyway.
I mean, that's insane, though.
Now, your vows can't be too entertaining because if they are, that's a problem.
Oh, then she just started falling asleep.
Exactly.
I have to keep them.
If she's unhappy with your vows, you'd just be like, well, I was just trying to make sure you stayed awake.
Now you got to walk out.
You know what I mean?
Well, how do you know the shows you pick aren't trash?
This is a great CFC card, he said.
I'm just saying, it's like she stayed awake for Kevin Hart's show.
You told us that.
Now she turned that shit off every 15 minutes.
No, she's like, this is giving me too much anxiety.
But she stayed awake.
Yeah, because it was so like tension-filled.
It was just being awake.
She's just not used to that.
She's like, oh, this is something I have to pay attention to and like absorb.
Like, if it's Salt Lake Housewives of Utah or whatever that is.
Salt Lake Housewives.
Salt Lake Housewives of Utah.
Like that can just be on in the background and she can like cook or like pack or do something.
And then it's just girls fighting.
Yeah.
Right.
And yeah, that's just perfect for her.
Sex in the city?
Emotional fighting, she'll stay up for physical fighting, melatonin.
No, melatonin.
Knock the fuck out.
Yeah, I don't know what type of trauma she's dealing with, but that is like her comfort zone.
Is that there's abuse going on in the background?
She's like, ooh.
But yeah, yeah, no.
It's fucking wild times, guys.
Boy's about to get married.
Yeah, how you feel.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel good.
I feel good.
I'm trying to write these vows, but we keep getting in fights.
And I had to tell her last night.
I had to tell her last night.
I was like, you keep fighting with me.
We're not going to have no vows, yo.
You need to give me a day of just being awesome so I can write down how awesome I feel about you.
Because if we get into a fight every single fucking night, we at the restaurant getting into fights and shit.
We gave the people a show last night.
Man, the noise.
Bro, it was a Salt Lake City Housewives of Utah.
We got Salt Lake City Housewives of Utah at American Bar NYC last night.
Oh, let's go.
I mean, all the emotions came in hot, everything good.
Started fighting, staring into space, both of us.
And we're at a table not facing each other.
We're facing the whole restaurant.
We had an amazing table facing the whole restaurant to the whole restaurant, just look at us, perform, ignoring the fuck out of someone, not even peripheral vision.
Like, if we look straight, we both see a little bit of each other.
So, we just turn out like 20 degrees.
So, we wouldn't even catch each other in peripheral.
Even before, after the food came, middle of it.
Wow.
Course is coming in.
I'm not playing.
We're coming serving the tents.
Oh, man.
Oh, okay.
We were on like an Instagram diary love story.
Wait for it.
So that's the whole movie.
That's the whole movie.
So we're fighting, right?
And then the waitress comes over and then she looks at the bill that she put down and it doesn't have a credit card.
And she's like, oh, are you not ready yet?
And I, and I, and I'm already fighting with my girl.
And you see, there ain't no credit card there.
So it took me everything in my power to just not fucking curse this fucking nosy bitch out.
You know, I'm fighting with my girl.
Everybody in the goddamn restaurant knows I'm fighting with my girl.
It's obvious.
Our volume's getting high.
I'm ready.
My birdie.
The Wace F knew that was your table.
They're like, which table is it?
Oh, the fighting one.
Yeah, the fighting one.
We were at the fighting table.
Oh, yeah.
We were going through that shit.
I mean, like, we were fighting so much.
She took, we were splitting the steak and splitting the branzino.
She took a good 66% of that steak.
I had to call her out.
I said, she started cutting through the steak.
I said, damn.
I said, how much of the steak are you going to take on her wedding week?
You know what I mean?
This girl's a skeleton.
This girl's been dieting like crazy.
She's just trying to get one meal a day in to get some nutrients.
She took 66% of that filet.
You know what I mean?
She took 66% of that filet.
You couldn't fill up on the bread I see.
Uh-uh.
We're not doing bread.
I'm going to retail.
You got more Brussels sprouts or whatever.
Say what?
No, I guilted her into cutting that little fucking 33% back.
You know what I mean?
I need that 66.
I need that 66.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, no, I got you.
Yeah, I was fucking, I was in a bad mood last night.
The waiter brings the fucking Brancino over and he just puts it down.
And I'm like fighting with her as he puts it down.
And I just get, is it deboned?
So we're fighting.
And then we got through it.
And I fucked up.
No.
That was on me.
No.
I'm doing this shit crazy.
I know the minus never fucked up.
Yeah, almost never.
Why would they?
Especially emotionally, you're so evolved.
Yeah, I'm so evolved.
Just to, I mean, just the fucking the best at coming.
Best ever.
You know what I'm saying?
I fucked up.
I fucked up.
And yeah, I fucked up a little bit.
I fucked up a little bit.
It's her week.
Say what?
It's her week.
Like, this is her day.
It's our week.
That's why she's falling asleep at UFC.
Poor girl's been like struggling, putting this thing together.
You need to write vows.
Hasn't even done it yet.
Yeah.
She's been bothering me.
Every time I try to put pen to paper, I'm not feeling it.
Yeah, y'all are going to fight so much these next two weeks.
It is going to happen.
It's going to be two weeks.
Two weeks.
I'm getting married Saturday.
Y'all are going to fight so much these next four days.
Are you coming?
Yeah, we are for two weeks.
That's right.
That's our wedding.
Yes.
No, y'all.
This is it.
This is the peak of it.
You just, it's just constant, like, I'm stressed, you're stressed.
It'll all melt by Friday night.
We got to a good place.
We got to a little bit better place.
You know what happens with us?
No, we did.
Well, this is when this is what happened.
It's like, we got to a little better place.
And basically, it was one of those things, like, I think when we're disconnected, right?
We're not, if, if we're disconnected and we're not being intimate, right?
We're not like having sex.
That's like, that's like validating and reinforcing.
It like reinforces the love, right?
And then what happens is when you get further, it's harder to put yourself in a position to be vulnerable, right?
And validate the other person because you're protecting yourself.
So you move further and further away.
And that stops you guys from giving the love that you actually need.
And it makes giving the love that much more difficult.
And that makes you or me and her even more sensitive to even the littlest things.
Yeah.
Right?
So, like, me going, like, damn, about the steak is a joke if we're intimate, loving each other, all this kind of stuff.
I mean, I was fucking sick the whole weekend, you know what I mean?
And we've been stressed about this fucking wedding.
So, it's like that distance, an emotional distance, makes everything that more sense, much more sensitive.
So, it was like little stupid things.
And I'm like asking her.
I would like ask her to do something.
And like, I felt like she was just not doing it just because I asked her to do it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, the fight's on, and then she's talking to her mom.
And I'm like, babe, you think you could take the call in the room?
And then she's like, yeah, yeah.
And then she just keeps talking to her mom.
And I'm like, is she trying to show me up in my own fucking house?
I'm going to get anything that would drive him crazier.
Him in particular would go fucking.
I think she mad to me.
Like, yo, that's disrespectful.
You specifically is going to send you up to the bed.
And I had a friend of mine there.
I'm like, is this woman disrespecting me in front of my friend?
I hate that.
You know what I mean?
What was she talking about?
Disrespecting me in front of my friends.
What was she talking to her mom about?
I was probably fucking Salt Lake City houses of Utah.
It's wedding week.
You got to talk to her.
I know.
Yeah.
We're told at the mom's house?
Yes, it's happening at the mom's house.
Probably finding more ways to spend my goddamn money.
It's wedding week.
Maybe that's one of the conversations.
She needs emotional support.
Okay.
She does need emotional support.
But it doesn't matter.
So I get in my head.
I'm like, what the fuck?
I started getting in my head.
It was so stupid, right?
And I'm like, wait, what's going on here?
Then I got this IV because I'm trying to get rid of this cold.
I'm in the bed, locked up with the IV.
The IV was crazy.
Why'd you need an IV?
Son, because I got a wedding.
I got to get better.
I don't want to get y'all sick Monday Tuesday.
You had the sniffles.
Sunday.
I had a bad cold.
That shit was worse than COVID, son.
Literally, I felt worse than that.
If I gave you something else, if I gave you the cold, you're dead.
Your brother also had it.
So it could have been either one of us.
Yeah, but I'm going to blame you.
Okay.
That's fine.
Yeah, it's more fun now.
We're both equally.
We're on the wheel of tradition.
Okay.
You fucking reverse smallpox pleading.
This is your gift that you give to me every week.
I'm an Indian giver.
What do you want from me?
Oh, sonny.
I felt guilty for about 20 seconds.
And then I was like, well, at least it's not COVID.
So I felt okay about your cold.
We're fine.
So I got this fucking IV in my arm.
I'm locked in.
I'm trying to get over it to have an IV, though.
It helps you get over it faster.
It helps you get over it faster.
I'm trying to get over it faster for y'all.
So y'all don't get sick.
Y'all will miss my wedding.
I was with you the day you were sick.
Yeah, but you get sick a lot.
At least what it's not for you.
You do.
You've never been sick, though.
The most diva thing he said is, yo, man, I don't want to get the guy sick.
Otherwise, they're going to miss my wedding.
It's still for you.
I haven't seen a dude sick.
I was saying it's still for you.
I can't look like a loser.
It's just my girls, friends, and family at the goddamn wedding.
You got a picture of me in the chair?
Like, I passed away?
Yeah, this is what Dozwed is going to look like when he becomes Christian.
None of his family show up to the fucking cathedral.
You know what's crazy?
You're not even going to have a Jew officiate your own wedding.
Ain't that crazy?
That is crazy.
Wow.
What do you mean?
That is fucking good.
He's going to be a Christian because his shit's out wife.
You're a beautiful Christian.
It is what it is.
All good Jews become Christians.
Only the best.
Okay.
That's true.
I got this fucking IV in my arm and my nose is fucking dripping like crazy.
Got that post-nasal drip.
Dripping all of my money.
That's a bunny nose.
That's not post-nasal.
Keep going.
Insecure About Being Retarded00:03:14
Man, I've been telling myself that's what that is this whole week.
I got that post-nasal drip.
I mean, I guess that's literally what it is.
You just got nasal drip, bro.
What's post?
That's what it's in the back of your throat.
Oh.
Hey, yo.
Hey, yo, hey, yo, don't ever disrespect me talking like Nancy Reagan like that again.
Don't you ever disrespect me like that, okay?
We're gonna get to Nancy in a little bit.
But even though we're a few decades late, And I got the boogers ripping all over my mouth.
And I was just like, babe, can you grab me a tissue?
Right?
She got her friend there.
You know what I mean?
You need a paper towel for that thing.
Or a paper towel.
I need a bath mat.
A bath mat.
Can you give me the bath mat?
So I said, she doesn't fucking grab it for me.
And now I'm in my head because I'm all fucking insecure.
I'm like, is she just trying to defy me?
Yeah.
And she got her friend there.
So I just scream it at the top of my lungs with Monica, the nurse, right next to me.
But she's in the room?
Yeah.
She's just sitting there.
They got to sit there for 30 minutes as the shit drips into your body.
Really?
Yeah.
So she's just in the middle of our passive aggression.
Hey!
Can I have a tissue, please?
Right?
She's probably looking like you got a fucking nurse with you, dog.
She can't give you a napkin.
The nurse just waddled in and she was just like, oh, I can get you anything.
I was like, I have a wife to be.
To be.
So I was feeling insecure about that shit.
And then she articulated to me, and this is about all the things that she does for me without me even asking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And I'm just like.
You're such a fucking retard.
Yeah, I'm a retard.
Hello.
I'm a retard.
I'm sharing this because there might be other retards out there like me.
They have to deal with it.
You've been diagnosed?
Yes.
I'm a diagnosed retard.
Do we ever talk about this guy who got the fucking diagnosed retard?
I don't want to get the diagnosis, dude.
Yeah.
Alex and our meeting, Alex at our meeting where we have our comeback meeting, right?
Where we want to explain all our behavior and how we're going to be better.
Alex just opens up and goes, guys, turns out I'm retarded.
And no, Autistic.
Turns out I'm Autistic.
That's why I do certain things wrong.
The ultimate defense, though.
No, That wasn't my defense.
What are you guys just saying?
I think I'm Autistic.
In addition to myself.
He did say it after everything was healed.
And they was like, by the way, guys, I'm a retard.
Can I just say something that's very important to me right now?
Yeah, say that.
Is that if I go through life and treat everybody like they're autistic, it's so good.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Like, if you give everybody the expectations of autism, like sometimes I'll tell Alex an idea and he'll just look at me dead in the face.
Like, literally, like, your eyes have just spirals in them, right?
And I'm just like, it's like the Incredibles, too.
You know what I mean?
When they're like, and then I'm like, oh, okay.
So maybe he's not a big fan of the idea.
But if I go, no, Alex is retarded.
Yeah, yeah.
Then all of a sudden that makes more sense.
That's key to life.
That's key to life.
It really does make everything easier.
Yeah.
You just assume everyone's like, all right, yeah.
Everyone's just going to let me down eventually.
That's fine.
Autism is for you.
Yeah.
Autism is a gift to you.
Yeah.
Brings out the best in you.
Aren't you your best self when you're around an autistic person or a retarded person?
Yeah.
I love being around Alex.
Okay.
Point that I was trying to say is: I forgot.
Celebrating Birthdays Without Merit00:06:45
Oh, no.
She does all these things for me and she's been incredibly sweet and trying to do things before I even have to ask.
And I wasn't crediting those things.
Yeah.
And I was like, man, you're right.
Holy shit.
And I can admit when I'm wrong, I was like, you're right.
Holy shit.
I need to be better at that.
That's my bad.
And, you know, we hugged up, loved up.
So now we went from like bad dance to like loving up hard.
And then we're laughing and joking around and having a great time.
So they saw the whole fucking story.
So the waitress saw the whole shit.
And then this bitch charged me $6,600 for my meal.
What?
On accident, I assume.
Oh, is it an accident?
Well, is it an accident?
How you got $6,600?
What are you eating, dog?
That that could even be a reasonable receipt.
Dude, it wasn't even close to that.
I tipped her $66.
Somehow, the whole meal became $6,600.
Oh.
Well, how many approaches to you?
How'd you find out?
Amex gives you his updates.
Thank God.
I would have never even looked at it.
Yeah.
Oh, this bitch is.
Something's up, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She done wrote that money in the bottom.
Because if she thought it was 6,600, if she thought it was 6,600 and she got tipped 66, she'd be fucking livid.
Think about what a small percent of the total that is.
That's less than 1%.
She'd be like this cheap motherfucker, Bubba.
They do this shit every day.
Call this bitch.
No, wait, I called the restaurant.
Who do you think made the mistake here?
This bitch.
And it's not no mistake.
She's a cheating ass bitch.
I'm on you, ho.
I'll blow my buddy.
Whoever you are.
Yup.
Yup.
Hey, hey, bro.
Hey, let's try it on this.
Fuck you.
Now, you did the calculator app, but did 200%.
I gave her a $66 tip.
I think the meal was like $344 or something like that.
Yep.
Did it right?
$380.
I don't know.
$66 tips.
Two people?
What do you got?
We got a $50 espresso martini.
Wow.
We had to get over this fight somehow.
Nearly all I know how to spend some goddamn money, okay?
You don't have to pick me up.
John Julio 1942.
The best thing about growing up is just throwing money at a problem.
You can buy something.
Just fucking leave it alone, please.
How do you think you make that mistake?
How do you make a season 600?
I didn't make a mistake.
She made a mistake.
She is a fucking criminal.
But how?
She's a criminal.
She's a gold-digging bitch.
Yeah.
That's why she's single.
What?
That's probably why she's single.
How do you know she's single?
I just want to make sure we're separating her from Andrew's fiancé.
Exactly.
So that bitch is single.
Exactly.
Here's what happened.
He put 66 in the total.
This is the first time.
You got to put the fucking decimal point.
Didn't put the period.
And he thought, oh, this is a celebrity.
He's tipping me crazy.
You missed the period.
Here's what happened.
That's the only thing that makes sense.
You missed the period.
If it's the exact amount you tipped.
This bitch thought it was 6,600.
She didn't see a comma.
Where's the comma?
She saw the blue check.
We don't sign his fucking blue check on his name yet.
They saw him.
Yeah.
She missed.
Hey, she's arguing about his comic right there.
No comma.
And the total 6,600, what happened to the original bill?
Forget about it.
I put the total.
What happened to the original bill?
What'd you put the total?
You put the total at the bottom.
400,000.
You put the total at the bottom.
Slut.
Slut?
Did you?
Slut?
I did, I swear to God.
I was right.
She is a financial slut.
So what happened when you called the restaurant?
I didn't call him.
I sent him an email.
I sent him an email.
Yeah, I sent him an email.
I called, they didn't pick up.
Okay.
Yeah, I wouldn't either if I just stole $5,000 from somebody.
Right?
Or $6,000.
She's having a great Christmas.
Yeah, she thought she was going to have a good Christmas.
You thought.
You got $66, bitch.
So now, what are you going to tip her then?
Because now you can redo the tip, basically.
Nah, nah.
She's going to keep that $66.
She's going to keep that $66.
And then we'll just never, never go there ever again.
And then did you do a whole like, you did a whole night?
You went to a bunch of spots?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We recreated our first date.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Yeah.
We went to Veselka.
Also, that's a great trick that you guys should use if you never want to pay for anything because we didn't pay for anything.
Once we told people, like, yeah, this is our first time.
We're here for our first date.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And just free, free, free.
So we recreated our first date.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
The problem is you don't.
You have first dates.
But you got to be getting married.
And that's what makes it special.
People love marriage.
What do you just tell people?
I know.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, it's, I don't know.
I never had this feeling about marriage.
And I know there's a guy component to this, I'm sure.
But, like, you also don't believe in birthdays.
I also don't believe in birthdays.
Yeah, I know.
I believe in it.
I know that it exists.
I'm not like, it's not like UFOs.
Like, I'm not on the fence about birthdays.
Like, I know I've been here for 38 birthdays.
Our birthdays are like UFOs to you, bro.
Yeah, I just don't think that we should celebrate you for something you had nothing to do with, you know?
Like, I kind of agree, bro.
It has nothing to do with it.
It was your parents.
I should give your parents something.
I should give her a bunch of people.
You're never going to make a big deal for me.
Your mom only.
I should just give your moms only for what they did to push it up.
Barely.
For a little.
Barely.
We don't even know.
We don't even know.
Have you been tested?
That's a good point, actually.
We don't even know.
Yeah.
We both got to get tested.
Yeah.
Real talk.
I got a friend, Kunal Arora.
He will never congratulate a man when he has a baby.
And you will only congratulate the man whenever he gets engaged.
Because he's like, the man did all the work to get engaged.
The wife just stood up, got a ring for a baby.
The guy just nutted in a girl.
You knit else.
I'm not, I'm only congratulating the mom when you have kids, and I'm only congratulating the guy when you get engaged.
He's a piece of shit.
Two marriages had kids.
I'm going to congratulate you a psych.
What do you know about pieces of shit?
You retard?
And now you got emotions all of a sudden.
Having a kid is a big deal, Alex.
That would be rude.
Yeah, I, yeah, it was just a cool night.
It was a very cool night.
We got all emotional and it was really sweet.
And it was awesome.
And people are treating you different now that you're about to get married.
People just love marriage.
Guys, also?
Yeah, they just treat it differently.
I don't know.
Like, bartenders and that kind of stuff, they're just like, oh, this is awesome.
They're really excited by it.
And bartenders hear everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, and I don't know.
They just were really sweet and like happy for you.
Bartenders probably hear a lot of shit they don't want to hear.
And then hearing two people are about to make the biggest commitment and like it's this beautiful celebration.
They're probably like, oh, that's so nice, dude.
Yeah.
What a relief from this other shit I got to hear.
Every unemployed fuck coming in here, drinking away his problems.
These guys are doing something beautiful.
Thank God.
Yeah.
But it's a great thing, dude.
And I'm telling you, these fights, you don't mind them because it's like, it is probably just we misunderstood each other.
Like you were feeling sensitive because, and then she was like, hey, what about all the other stuff?
And you're like, oh, my bad.
That's going to be most fights from now on.
It's great.
Mercedes, Hamilton, and Fair Races00:15:15
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right.
Are you going to treat people's weddings different now?
Yeah, 100%.
I feel bad about every wedding I ever missed.
I feel like genuinely bad.
Actually, because, yeah, it's like, I don't know.
It just means a lot to me, everybody who's willing to come to my wedding.
And I never thought that I would care like that.
And the people who have made the effort, and it's like a big effort.
It's an inconvenience, you know, and like doing that to be there for a special day means a lot.
So anybody who invites me to their wedding, if they're like a friend of mine, I'm going to do everything I possibly can to be there.
Because I know what it's also like when people can't go and when they can't go for bullshit reasons.
Yeah.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second because I got to make sure that you're making some goddamn money when you're gambling.
Okay.
And you know how you make the most money when you gamble?
Well, you have to gamble more money.

Good luck.
You got this.
Now let's get back to the show.
Isn't it crazy?
Schumacher was the greatest F1 driver ever and survived and then got in a fucking skiing accident and now he can't walk.
He can't move.
He's dead.
He's dead.
He's not dead.
Is he a vegetable?
He can't move.
I'm technically right.
Yeah.
Wow.
He can still toboggan at least.
Yeah.
Which is fine.
I mean, if you love skiing.
Bob Sled, but Jamaican bob sled team.
They're looking for people probably.
Yeah, there's always a silver lining.
You were just bringing up F1.
Did you see the race?
No, I am not an F1 guy.
I know you guys are, but it seems crazy.
Please enlighten us is what happened.
Okay, so Americans found, myself included, found F1 from this Netflix show, Drive to Survive.
Correct.
And they filmed this Netflix reality show after the season.
And everything's all said and done.
You already know who fucking wins.
You ever know who wins every single race?
And they still find a way to make this world incredibly interesting and compelling.
It's almost like I don't even want to say it's Friday Night Lights because Friday Night Lights was scripted.
Like you actually didn't know who won or not.
This you know.
But they find the drama within the drama.
It's like a really, I can't believe people like it.
Like, it'd be like watching like the highlights from like the NBA playoffs afterwards.
We did.
What, last dance?
Yeah, I guess the greatest team ever.
And Michael Jordan, the greatest athlete ever.
Yeah.
So we're like, all right, I don't want to see what this is about.
That's true.
Yeah, and it was also like there's like nostalgia, like you're watching a Christmas story or something like that.
Like, how do I relive those feelings that I had fucking two decades ago?
True.
Right.
But where this is literally what happened three months ago.
It's like, you know, everything that happened.
And it's still so fucking good.
And I think it was just so new to us.
We're like, okay, I have to relive this.
And I guess you get a little bit deeper into the drama, et cetera.
So this season of Drive to Survive should be absolutely amazing.
If they fumble this opportunity that they were given right now, then take the show off of Netflix.
They're fucking idiots who are producing this show over there.
It is quite possibly the best.
From everybody I've spoken to, and again, I'm late in the game, this is the best Formula One season that has existed in their lifetime.
Everybody's like, people come to me, yo, I've been watching since 2001.
I've never seen anything like this.
So maybe in this generation of racers.
Okay, maybe if you're coming back to like Senna and those guys, it's a little different.
But even then, maybe there wasn't the same level of drama.
Obviously, those guys were dying and shit.
It's crazy.
Basically, for everybody who doesn't exactly know what's going on, Formula One's not fair.
It's like baseball.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's like kind of like a limited budget.
So it used to be more unlimited.
And then every year they go, oh, we're going to find a way to do like a salary cap, kind of.
But basically, the teams that have a lot of money can throw money at the property.
Okay.
Like we were talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.
I mean, Mercedes might spend half a billion dollars on their team.
Was it $300 to $500 million?
Okay.
So the big money teams are Mercedes and Red Bull.
And they also have like other teams and supply.
Like Red Bull has a whole different team that's also Red Bull.
Alpha Towry.
And Mercedes supplies engines to other teams.
It's a really weird thing going on.
It doesn't matter.
Formula One's crazy.
And this year, Max Verstappen is the kind of like lead driver for Red Bull.
And then Lewis Hamilton, who is the greatest of all time, won seven championships with Mercedes.
He's going for his record eighth this year.
Red Bull comes on strong in the beginning of the season.
Then Mercedes comes back.
Going into the final race, they're tied in points.
So whoever finishes higher, not even first.
Whoever finishes higher wins.
The race happens.
Hamilton starts in second place.
Max Verstappen is on pool.
Hamilton gets the lead.
Okay.
Okay.
He's left out there on, I think, what is it, hard tires, right?
So Mercedes makes a decision not to have him pit because he could lose placement.
Right.
Right.
But the risk is he'll be on worse tires.
Right.
Right?
He's in the lead.
He's winning.
He should win the race.
The race is about to be over.
I think there's four laps left.
It's over.
Lewis Hamilton won.
He got his eighth.
It's done.
This guy, Latifi, Nicholas Latify, crashes with four laps left.
Right.
Okay.
Now, with a crash, you have to remove the car from the track.
Right.
Okay.
When you remove the car from the track, a caution car or a safety car goes and essentially leads all the cars.
So it limits the speed that they can go.
Nobody can pass, et cetera.
Okay.
Four laps to go.
Depending on how long it takes to get that crashed car off the track, the race should end.
In other words, if it takes four laps, that's the order that the cars are in.
That's how the race finishes.
Yeah.
Right?
With one lap to go, they get the car off the track.
So technically they can race for one lap.
Now, Lewis is in first.
Max is in second, but he's in fifth in terms of position because there are cars that have been lapped.
Okay.
Those cars are called lappers.
Generally speaking, I think when a caution car, the car leading the group, is out, they let all the lappers go around.
In this specific one, they didn't think that they would have enough time to let the lappers go.
Massey, I think his name is Michael Massey, makes a call.
This is the guy who like is the race coordinator, the person who's making all the rules on.
Ray Stewart, is that what it's called?
Okay.
He makes a decision to let the cars in between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen lap.
In other words, go in front of the caution car, essentially getting them out of the way so there can be one lap left of racing, but he doesn't let the other cars behind do it.
Okay.
So he's basically just like, move everybody out of the way.
There's one lap left for the championship.
Let them go.
Now, here's the thing.
Max is on the fresh tires.
Yeah.
He's on the, what do they call it?
Soft tires.
He's on soft tires.
Huge advantage.
Right.
Right?
Remember, because Mercedes made a strategic choice to keep Lewis on the field for position.
Right.
Red Bull had nothing to lose.
They brought him in.
They put in the soft tires because they're like, listen, we're already five spots behind.
The worst that can happen is we get second.
And you can't pit when there's a safety car taking your.
They did pit on the safety.
Oh, and they said keep.
But Mercedes didn't want to be as they might lose position.
Okay.
So they're like, we'll just keep position.
So it's the two of them.
Now, I've heard different viewpoints on this.
One viewpoint I heard is this is like you're playing your buddy one-on-one and it's a game to seven and you have six and he has zero and then somebody just goes, okay, next basket wins.
Right.
And it's like, what do you mean next basket wins?
I got six.
What the fuck is going on?
You just moved all the people out of the way.
Now, would Max have passed all those other cars?
Yes.
But they would have caused at least some kind of delay.
Delayed.
Just passing them milliseconds.
Who knows?
I assume it's just, you got to move around them.
And also keep in mind, in a lap in this course and in most courses, there's only a couple places to pass.
Right.
It's not like you could, right?
You need enough straightaway to develop speed.
Yeah.
Right.
And a turn where you can come inside.
Yeah.
So let's say there's only three places per lap to pass and there's two cars in between.
Getting rid of those two.
Yeah, you're left.
You're fucked.
If those two are in the way, you're fucked because you pass, you pass, race is over.
Getting rid of those two gives you three opportunities to pass one guy.
And I'm sure I'm fucking bumbling this and I'm getting certain things wrong.
Blah, blah, blah.
It is what it is.
If you have any corrections in what I said, if there's super F1 fans out here, you know that I'm more or less learning about this now.
But I think this is pretty much what exactly happened.
And so in that Max passes Lewis, first place wins.
Lewis got to take the L.
That seems fucked.
It seems fucked.
Now, here's the thing.
The sport's not fair.
We're okay with the unfair rules.
And the second the unfair rules disadvantage the team that takes the most advantage of the unfair rules, they're upset.
Mercedes spends hundreds of millions of dollars more than every other team to have advantages.
Yeah.
A rule is put in place that put them at a disadvantage.
Not even a rule.
A decision was put in place to put them at a disadvantage.
And now they're whining and crying.
They're not whining and crying about the fact that they could spend double every other team.
This shit ain't fair.
The sport's not meant to be fair.
It's meant to be entertaining.
Right.
And the rules are created so it's entertaining.
That's interesting.
Right.
It's called the Constructor's Cup.
We look at these things because we like athletes in America.
We're like, who's the Michael Jordan?
Who's this?
The way Formula One is looking at it is which team won?
Mercedes still won.
They still won the Constructor's Cup.
Max won his championship.
But Mercedes still had the best car.
And it's about the best car.
Because the reality is you could put a decent driver in a Mercedes.
And he's a good driver.
They're going to win.
Okay.
They had a guy from the worst team.
I think it was Williams, Andrew Russell's George Russell.
George Russell.
Who's getting 15th, 16th place consistently in a Mercedes car, but not the car that's in a Williams car that has Mercedes in it?
Mercedes engine.
Right?
Okay.
Races one race when Lewis is out with COVID or something like that.
Races one race in a Mercedes, leads the whole race, is going to win the race.
And all of a sudden, something happened to his car.
Right.
Oh, shit.
And I think what they did is they protected Lewis.
Yeah.
Because they're like, if this guy who's getting 16th place every single race all of a sudden pops into the Mercedes and then he can win it all in one race.
Ooh, that might tarnish Lewis's reputation.
How great is Lewis?
Yeah.
Is he great or is he in the great car?
And this shit is all about the car.
When you're at the upper levels of driving, of course.
If we're already looking at the top 1% of drivers, you put in like a new QB on a team.
You're like, oh, is it the system or is it the QB?
Yes.
It's a system.
And the QB can take it there.
Yeah.
But a system is.
I think you're bothered as a fan from a distance.
It would seem like I'd be bothered just because it's like, all right, well, these are the two best companies.
Like you said, these are the two best car constructors.
So at this point, let me at least make that as even as possible.
Sure, eighth place could be in first place if they had more money.
But first and second, which is what we all want to see, let's make that as even as possible.
Let's not fucking eliminate cars and give them another advantage when they already got the same financial, we can blow everybody out the water.
No, let's just see them go at it fairly then.
As fair as it can be.
It seems like that fuck with that.
That's why I'd be bothered.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I could see that.
Is it standard for them to remove the cars during that safety?
Oh, that's a standard.
Yeah.
They have to, because if it's just there during the rest of the race, not the fucking.
I'm talking about the Lappers.
Was that a standard move every race that they would remove the Lappers?
Yeah, but I think that what they do is they let everybody pass.
And they only let the Lappers that were in between Lewis and Max.
Yeah.
So if they're doing something just for this race, it feels fair.
Yeah.
But the guy said it because the guy, Toto Wolf, who's the basically the head of Mercedes, he goes, he goes, what the hell are you doing?
And then the guy, Michael Massey, who's the steward, just goes, we came here to race today.
All these team principles have been saying, let them race, let them race.
And Mercedes, just because of their influence, has gotten a lot of favorable decisions this season.
Yeah.
In particular, to Lewis on Max.
And this is something that, hey.
So if you're a real fan, you're also probably satisfied.
Like, fuck you, you finally got a trip.
I don't want to just say, like, this was great for the sport.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it was unbelievable.
Does Hamilton benefit on the back end that the sport is now getting more eyeballs?
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
Like, how mad is he really?
Like, obviously, it affects his legacy and money, but like, oh, this next season is going to be insane.
I'm sure he won it eight.
Yeah.
Like, you want to be the guy that has the record.
If he has eight.
And that's one over Schumacher, but he has the win for most races, record for most races won.
So he has one record.
And him and Verstapin have a bitter rivalry, right?
Not even.
Like, Verstapin's a new up-and-coming driver.
Like, Lewis has been, it'd be like Jordan and Kobe having a rivalry.
Yeah.
But like, in the moment, they have a bitter rivalry.
Okay.
I thought in the moment they were talking a lot of shit about each other this year.
No, Lewis is pretty mentory to him.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
This season's just been a battle, but in the last couple seasons, and I realized something with the Netflix show, to your point, it's not even for us anymore.
It's for the people that are going to say, listen to this podcast and say, I'm going to try out Formula One.
Start it off by watching the Netflix dock.
By the time, then you'll be watching the next season in real time and you'll be obsessed.
I got through almost the first season, and then I wasn't obsessed.
It was definitely a good show.
But they talk about Verstapin in season one.
You can basically, if you watch a show, I've realized, watch his whole arc from like kind of brashed punk kid that's got a lot of talent into now winning the fucking thing, which would be very cool if you go through all of it.
Oh, this next season is going to be fucking ridiculous.
What was Lewis Hamilton's reaction?
Like, everything I'm Googling is basically just like, he didn't show up to the press conference.
Yeah, he's upset.
You know, I'm sure.
Maybe he thinks it's unfair.
But you could also say that Mercedes was pussy.
Like, they didn't play to win.
Like, they were like, oh, they're just going to drive this out and then we're just going to take the safety car to the finish line.
They could have given up position, but prepared themselves just in case.
And Lewis smartly was like the couple times where he thought he should have boxed or pitted to change tires.
His team, like strategy-wise, they played it safe.
No, let's leave you on those tires.
They're durable.
They'll go the distance.
But he was smart enough in a couple of particular moments to say, like, why am I not boxing?
Why am I not going in there?
So you can chalk it up to their strategy was off.
But he was a gentleman in the moment.
Pit Boss Strategies and Crashes00:02:35
His dad was shaking hands with Max's dad.
Like, he did well, I thought, in terms of that.
Yeah.
Well, this would be a chance if he wins next year to make this a big asterisk.
Like, you can kind of undercut the whole win, I assume, if you win next year.
You win next year, and you could be like, the only reason I don't have nine straight is this fucking BS decision.
Yeah.
You can make his Verstappen's championship, a Astros championship, basically.
An interesting wrinkle to the whole race was that Max Verstappen had won more races throughout the year.
Okay.
Nine to Lewis's eight.
So he was given the tiebreaker in the event that they would end that race with the same amount of points.
Now, how could they end a race with the same amount of points?
Well, they would if neither of them won any points.
Right.
How would they do that?
Let's say they crashed.
Right.
So if Max wanted to win, just crash.
Yeah.
And I think I was watching a documentary.
Was it Senna?
I forget exactly what it is.
I was watching a documentary about a guy who did this and basically like on the first turn crashed into his rival and then took the both of them out.
Geez up, dude.
But that's it.
That guarantees the victory.
So if Max wanted it that bad, he could have easily like driven really aggressively, pushed Lewis off to the side.
He crashed as well.
Game over.
He got it.
So it was in the bag for him if he wants.
Right.
Now, that's not maybe the right way to win it, but people have won it in that way before.
Wow.
What would y'all have done?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of, it almost feels similar to the time when like we were in St. Louis and you won the first race and then I beat both you and Alex immediately in the next two races by crashing us by having an aggressive maneuver and then had the fastest lap overall of the week.
I'm pretty sure.
Is it similar to that you think?
I don't recall.
I just remember you being incredibly aggressive and like driving very dangerously.
I don't think you were crashing me.
No, no, no.
Because what did the race remember him doing like research before to learn how to do that?
Oh, yeah, yeah, that was so.
I got him with my pit.
What is it?
My pit boss?
You got him with your pit boss.
Yeah, I got him with a pit boss.
And he said I was, yeah, he just gave me strategy.
He gave you the soft tires.
Yeah, I had soft tires going on.
Our final race.
Ah, we were rather hard.
Do you think it's similar to that or not?
I think it's basically the exact same.
The exact same thing as that.

Now let's get back to this.
Anyway, what else, boys?
What else?
What are you thinking about?
What are we thinking about?
Since we talked about Netflix and why Drive to Survive is amazing, do you want to talk about why you like HBO better?
Okay, it's not that I like HBO better.
They just are better.
They are better.
They're better at scripted and it's not even a fucking, it's not even close.
And not only are they better at making the scripted shows, they're better at getting people to watch the scripted shows.
Okay.
This weekend, fucking Sex in the City comes out with their older Sex in the City.
I did not even know it came out.
Nobody knew it was coming out.
There was no interest.
Girls didn't give a fuck about it.
They're like, I don't need to watch these girls anymore.
I saw them go to fucking Dubai or whatever like that and walk around with masks all day long.
I don't need to see this shit again.
And the one character that everybody knew about was gone.
The most entertaining character.
Maybe not the one you love the most.
Probably it's Carrie or each one of these girls has their own thing.
But undeniably the funniest, most entertaining one, the one that got fucked all the time, great tits for age is off the show, right?
Yeah.
So you're like, okay, why the hell would I watch this shit?
If now they're old, I don't care about their lives.
The one that was the funniest and the most entertaining is no longer there.
Like, what is the point?
It seems like just a bunch of Madonna just fucking in their 60s trying to complain.
Yeah, get that shit over with, bro.
Okay.
Within a fucking day, every girl's watching this thing.
They're locked in and obsessed.
Within a fucking day, what did they do?
They killed off one of the main characters.
They killed off Carrie's fucking love interests for the whole regular show.
Big.
You know that show?
The guy Big?
Yeah, I know of him.
Christopher Knopf.
I think he's the character.
They killed that motherfucker off.
And this is how you know this shit has a big fucking reaction, right?
I was talking about how this wasn't as big a reaction.
It's just in my girl's life.
I'll stand on.
This.
Okay, ready?
Big dies after using a Peloton.
He has a heart attack.
Mr. Biggs.
Mr. Big.
Mr. Big dies after using a Peloton.
Peloton stock dips 11%.
Yeah.
That's fucking crazy.
11%.
You might have also contributed to that.
That's Bitcoin shitting itself.
Like when Bitcoin dips 5%, people are like, oh, fuck.
Is Bitcoin on a down?
Yeah.
10%?
Yeah.
They saw this video.
Insane.
They saw the video of you falling off and they were like, yeah, yeah.
That contributed to two or three.
I started this.
I started this.
The reason HBO is great is because I'm great.
It's like I'm complimenting me.
We understand marketing.
That is Mr. Big knows.
This is what it is.
Okay.
So listen, so the fucking effect of this is crazy, right?
To kill off a main character and the love interests of this woman, actually, it's really the smartest thing because in order for us to like this show, she can't be happy.
Bro, that's Game of Thrones.
You got to have stakes.
Opening season, you're like, the two coolest guys are dead?
Dead?
What happened?
And they keep on killing the motherfuckers you love.
If you love them too much, that motherfucker is going to die.
They've been married because they got married in a movie, I believe.
First or second, I don't know.
But they've been married 10, 11 years.
That's not fun.
Who wants to see that show?
There's no stakes there.
Also, we got to be single.
We need to follow Carrie's journey, which is in podcasting now, the takeover.
So fuck the fuck we do.
Cheese up.
So it's like, in order to recreate that world and in order to follow this woman through that world, trying to find out what her life is going to be, what love is going to be, you need to remove the love.
Yeah.
Right?
If you already got a man, you're happy, you're in a nice house, then you're flying a fucking Abu Dhabi.
Yeah.
Right?
It's like they literally had nothing else to do.
So they flew them to fucking Abu Dhabi, right?
I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
Everybody talking about it.
Main character dies, or one of the main characters dies.
Main love interest dies.
Now all of a sudden, my girl's locked in watching, and then the writing is funny.
I'm watching the show, and I'm like, this is funny.
I remember thinking it was funny before.
The storylines get you in.
I'm like, you fucking did it.
HBO fucking does it every single time.
Mayor of East Town, right?
Yep.
Mayor of East Town comes down.
The fucking finale, all of a sudden, the stream goes down.
I didn't start watching this show until after the finale when the stream went down.
The stream going down causes national news.
Right.
Everybody going, what the fuck you mean?
It's trending on Twitter.
The Mayor of Eastown is trending.
Why are people so upset?
They can't watch this show.
It must be a good show.
The show's fucking great.
I go, I watch it.
White Lotus, The Undoing.
It's like non-stop.
They keep coming with banger after banger scripted show.
Can y'all name a scripted show that Netflix has put out in the last year that people are obsessed with?
Scripted.
Kevin Hardship.
Squid Game.
You got to give it up Squid Game.
Got to give it up.
Squid Game.
Took over.
Ozark.
Nah, that fell off.
You want me to listen to hits a video?
The heat of Ozark isn't the same as it was.
It was fire when it first started.
That fell off.
I gave it up.
I think Squid Game is massive.
Yeah.
That's the biggest.
And then True Story.
True Story.
True Story is mid.
I think it's mid.
It's big.
It's highly watched.
They got shows.
What's that one?
Narcos?
I think people stop watching Narcos.
You.
You is big.
In terms of just eyeballs, yeah.
You is big in terms of eyeballs.
You're also talking critical acclaim, I think.
I'm not saying it.
Like, Undoing was very well received critically, and people watched it.
Mayor of East Town, same.
But like, what's that fucking show with Entourage?
They have the Entourage guy in it, Vinny, Clickbait, or some shit like that.
It wasn't a good show.
Buddy, people watching it.
More people watching mad people watched it.
Mayor of East Town, those are limited series.
Easier to get superstar creators and talents.
They don't have their Game of Thrones yet.
They don't have their Sopranos.
They don't have their current.
They don't have The Wire.
Ain't nobody watching The Witcher.
Like, they got all these shows.
Squid Game was a breakout show.
I mean, like, it had that Tiger King effect, right?
It was like mainstream.
People are locked in.
If you didn't watch it, you had the FOMO, right?
There's this, there's this, I think we've talked about it on a podcast before, but like there's a trajectory with content, and it's not just with a show.
It could be with a movie.
It could be with a tour.
It could be anything.
There's a trajectory where it's like, you're in on this thing early.
All of a sudden, you're in on this thing and sharing with people.
And then it hits a critical mass where if you haven't watched it, you feel weird.
You're the outsider.
The only show that that happened with that I can remember in recent past with Netflix is Squid Game.
A little bit of things.
With True Story.
A little bit of True Story.
And Bridgerton.
Bridgerton.
I was just about to say that.
Richardson.
Richard.
That's huge.
Everybody was talking about that.
A few years ago.
I had minimal FOMO, but yes, they were talking about it.
HBO has tons of misses.
That's what I'm saying.
HBO has tons of bro, which was a dud.
Tons of misses.
You're talking about Cassidy to Papel, but you're also talking Netflix has local market producers.
They have hundreds of more executives trying to find the development.
I'm just comparing budgets here.
Like the budget for HBO and the budget for Netflix.
You have to bring that point in because Netflix can throw money at everybody.
Probably a higher hit.
No, but Squid Game was a very low budget.
The batting average is crazy.
Okay.
Because that I'll give you.
Because they can't miss.
Like, it was, remember when AMC back in the day went on that string of non-stop bangers?
Like AMC.
Madman and Breaking Bad.
Bang, bang.
And then Walking Dead.
Madman, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead.
There was another one that came out on AMC as well that people were fucking with.
Like, I think turn coke or something like that.
I thought it was FX.
FX.
But, like, it was just after another.
And you're like, holy shit, does this channel actually the truth?
And they made it relevant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a lot of fun.
It's relatively their budget.
That's a crazy run.
Unbelievable.
So for HBO, yeah, that makes sense.
That's why I'm saying they're so great.
Is that they will spend $30 million on a fucking pilot for a Game of Thrones prequel, not the one that's coming out, but another one.
And if it's not good, scrap it.
Light $30 million in the air.
Because they know.
They're like, this isn't it.
You know what it's kind of like?
I remember hearing Walmart and Target started off as competitors, and then Walmart was so good at being cheaper that Target was like, we can't do what they can do.
We can't compete with cheap shit.
So let's just make stuff that's nicer than what Walmart makes and charge more.
That's like Trader Joe's, too.
Trader Joe's might have done that.
It's like they don't have any of the selection, but all their shit is slaps.
There's bangers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Trader Joe's is cheap, but Target was like, look, we're going to be more selective of what we have.
And I think that might be what HBO is doing.
Like, look, we're not, Netflix can just throw money at everything and have options for every single human being on earth.
They have the budget.
We don't.
We have to be more selective with ours and make it more appealing, like, especially critically.
And I just have to say, like, the way that HBO does their marketing, I don't know if they're aware of it or not, but the way that they do their marketing is just fucking genius.
Like, they're able to stir up controversy around their shows, which creates that FOMO effect where you're like, why is everybody upset?
Like, right now, there's this whole thing going on with succession.
I don't watch succession.
I don't care about like billionaire fucking.
Is that HBO also?
Everybody's talking about that.
Oh, yeah.
It's a cultural moment.
And like there was something with one of the characters, Jeremy Strong, was being criticized, and Erin Sorkin felt like he had to do a public apology, but he doesn't have social media.
So he put it on Jessica Chaste and social media.
It's just like just that type of conversation piece swirling around a show.
You're like, well, what the fuck is happening in this show?
Netflix doesn't seem to have that apparatus where they can get all this controversy churning.
Like they have tons of data and they can push stuff to you algorithmically, but they're not creating the conversation outside of it.
Like, dude, Mr. Beast doing the squid game thing.
Yeah.
That's what you need.
Now, you're not going to get that every time, but like, how can you get the conversation churning outside?
Yeah.
That's what a comedy special does.
That's Dave Chappelle drove people to Netflix because of the controversy.
I feel like Netflix's strategy is like, just put all the budget into just making content.
Yeah.
Buy everything.
Yeah.
Fuck, even when we did the thing, they were like, yeah, we don't do billboards.
Like what we do is just use the algorithm to push it to the people that are going to see it.
Yeah.
Right.
And it's like, okay, but like, fuck a billboard.
Let's use some money to, you know, create some drama.
Yeah.
Like, let's create some conversation around the piece that's going to drive people to the piece.
And I think that's what fucking HBO does.
When they put out the Peloton ad, I believe wholeheartedly that this was part of the deal.
Can you explain that?
Okay.
So basically, Peloton's stock drops 10% or 11% after the Mr. Big dies going on the Peloton.
Yeah.
Right.
He gets a heart attack.
I think personally.
Okay.
So then an advertisement comes out very after Peloton ad there with Christopher Knoth being healthy.
I guess we could play it.
Yeah, you want to check it out?
Yeah, play it right now.
If you're listening, to new beginnings.
To new beginnings.
You look great.
I feel great.
Shall we take another ride?
Life's too short not to.
And just like that, the world was reminded that regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs, and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse, and reduces blood fat levels.
He's alive.
He's alive.
Ryan Reynolds does the voiceover.
Does the voiceover.
It's Mr. Big and an Asian chick or Mexican girl Nigeria.
She might be an instructor for Peloton, right?
Oh, yeah.
She's a famous Peloton instructor.
She was the one I think he was watching in the show.
Okay.
Oh, hilarious.
Okay.
Extremely well coordinated and orchestrated.
Extremely quickly.
You know what's crazy?
That's crazy.
Let me just say this.
So I think this is another HBO move.
I think if HBO is going to make it look like you get fucking heart attacks going on Pelotons to a key demographic that uses fucking Peloton.
Yeah, it's a leverage point.
It is like literally, who are the people who use Peloton?
Fucking people who watch Sex in the City.
It's Sex in the City people, girls who watch Sex in the City, and maybe their boyfriend.
And some comedians.
Some comedians get stuck under them.
Yeah, trying to look good for their wedding.
That's it.
That might be part of the demonstration.
That's a possibility.
I went back on it.
I'm no bitch.
Yeah, I saw you.
Listen, I'm like, big.
You run extra hard to stomp it on it?
Yeah, I did.
I almost fell filming that video.
100%.
I was like, no, I know what they should.
But my point is, I bet you they reached out to Peloton.
They're like, listen, we're going to do this.
It's going to cause a controversy.
I don't know what's going to happen, but why don't you have something really fun cooked up to go along with it?
They must have notified the brand.
I don't even know if you can use a brand without their permission.
Here's the crazy thing.
I have to potentially push back.
Peloton was already working with Ryan Reynolds creative agency.
He's got a marketing firm.
He's genius for this shit, right?
And they apparently cooked this up.
They were already working with them.
And this was like a 48-hour, we got to do something fix because otherwise, I don't think Peloton would risk having that.
No one would approve the risk that you could drop that much with your stock price.
For HBO to even mention Peloton in their show?
They got the approval to use it, but someone from Peloton may not have read the script.
Yeah, right.
No, I think they got the approach.
Yeah, right.
And they said, yeah, we'll do it, but we're going to.
We're going to have something ready to go.
We're going to cast out.
And HBO might have even helped him out.
Here, we're going to do this shit.
Here, we'll help you.
We'll help you create an ad.
You know what I mean?
And they might not even help him create the ad.
They just told him more or less what's going to happen.
And again, you're not going to give away the script.
More or less what's going to happen.
Hey, there's going to be some tragedy after the use of the Peloton, whatever like that.
Just want to let you guys know, you guys do what you want to do.
Okay.
And getting the Christopher Knoth character to go film that.
Like, that's even a little bit peculiar.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, you're undermining the show.
Now, Christopher Knoth is aware that his character is dead, not he is dead.
Yeah.
But he's basically going, I didn't really die.
I'm out here and I'm with the instructor and I just wanted to leave Carrie.
You're kind of undermining the plot of the show.
So I think there has to be some sort of communication between both of them.
Hey, you're going to make it look like our brand gives heart attacks, but we're going to make it look like your show isn't real.
Let's have some fun.
We're fucking talking about it on our podcast right now.
This is not an HBO.
It's a second of this show.
I have a little bit.
It's pretty fucking fun.
I laughed.
I laughed out loud.
You taught this up.
You're like, yeah, we should check this out.
And I was like, all right, is this story that big?
I kind of fell like out.
I was like, really?
Is it that big?
Seinfeld Scenes and Funeral Plots00:07:20
And I came home.
I see my girl on the couch.
She's kind of crying a little bit.
I was like, what's wrong?
What happened?
She was like, Mr. Big Die.
Yo, get the fuck out of here.
And it's so, and dude, there's a scene.
I can't believe I'm talking about it, but there's a scene at the funeral where people are coming to the funeral.
And like, it's really interesting.
Like, I didn't realize how purposely overacted.
I forgot how overacted the actors are on Sex in the City.
It's almost like drag.
Like, each actor is kind of a drag queen.
They're this like exaggerated, overacted version of themselves.
But because they're unaware of it, it's just kind of funny.
Okay.
And like, if you watch the episodes back, you'll kind of see it.
Like, everybody comes in almost like Kramer.
They're like flustered and ready to go.
And I'm going to talk like this.
And hello.
It's literally a drag show.
The whole thing is drag.
Except for Carrie.
She's kind of like the one who's holding all together.
She's the Jerry.
She's the Jerry.
Yeah.
She's the Jerry.
But connect, yeah, and it's actually funny.
But uh, I forgot why I was saying that.
What was I saying?
It's like drag, everyone's overacting.
Before this, it was a funeral scene.
Oh, the funeral scene was like a really clever premise.
It was every these people coming in and making the funeral about themselves.
Oh, yeah.
So instead of coming up to like grieve with Carrie, they're like, Oh, when my husband died, yeah, I remember what it was like when like everybody kind of making it about themselves when you're your fucking funeral.
We do know that's the entire ethos of Seinfeld, right?
What's that?
They're the four most selfish people that are friends, but everything they make about themselves.
No hugging, no learning.
I don't know.
I never watched a show.
I wouldn't know that.
I thought it's a show about nothing.
Give us your book report.
I'm fucking excited.
You guys watch a book report on sex in the city.
At least there's a pussy.
At least there's some pussy.
All right, guys, we had a break for a second because I got to tell you my favorite part of this time of year.
My favorite part of this time of year is food.
Okay, I can never get enough of how amazing everything smells.
And speaking of smells, I have to tell you about Native's awesome new holiday-inspired scented products.
Okay, Native cares about the products you put on your body, they're all about stopping the stink the right way.
That's the native difference.
You've heard me talk about Native's legendary aluminum-free deodorant.
Native's mission is to overhaul your entire hygiene routine by creating products that are made with simple ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil so you can smell great all day with classics and rotating seasonals.
Native has a scent for everyone.
Try their holiday-scented deodorant, body wash, or toothpaste incense like candy cane, sugar cookie, and fresh mistletoe for a limited time.
They sent me the sugar cookie, smells amazing.
I love it, love it.
Deodorant or oh, yeah, be putting on, smells great every time.
God bless you, man.
I love to hear you're doing that.
Stay merry, happy, and fresh this holiday season.
You will love Native's limited time seasonal products as much as I do.

Now, let's get back to the show.
Yeah, we need to start our own sex in the city.
We can't.
Why?
Because we have everything that they want.
What do you mean?
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
What do you mean?
There's this like search for a partner.
Now, the whole show is like, how do these old women get married?
Yeah, the show's about sex, and we're a bunch of married guys.
So, what do we know about sex?
That's what we want.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, we're going to call it Virgins of the Suburbs.
Just move out to Long Island.
We're like, Can I get a fucking hand job, please?
What's a guy got to do?
Baby, I'm getting a massage.
Yeah, yeah, we gotta make our own show.
How do you get laid?
Yeah, how do you get laid by your wife?
Yeah, have you guys had less sex or more sex since you got married?
Well, don't ask me.
I've had a lot more.
Yeah, yeah, it really kind of fucks up the game.
You know what I mean?
And you probably less, probably less, probably less.
Really?
Yeah, I'm gone more, so that definitely contributes.
Yeah, but probably less.
You think that's the reason?
Yeah, that's what I tell myself.
It's because I'm on the roads a little bit.
That's what I tell myself.
Yeah.
One of us is being faithful.
I'm on the road.
But noticeably less to the point where you're like, oh, I see what married people were talking about.
Not yet, but I can see it trending that way.
Really?
Five years.
Dude, after kids, I'm like, are we really going to be doing this after kids?
You think that you'll just stop having sex in life?
Dude, I'm going to be in my 40s.
I'm going to be in my 40s.
She can be a mom.
I'm not into milk porn, guys.
That's just not me.
We should do that thing.
So, you know how some people do no-nut November?
I was thinking we should do you have to nut every day.
Yeah, you brought this up.
That was a crazy idea.
Yeah, I will lose immediately.
No, no, no.
You don't necessarily have to fuck.
It's the opposite of you could jerk off, but you just have to nut every single day.
And then the first person to break it.
It was a great Seinfeld episode.
You guys gotta say it.
I'm a master of our own domains.
I don't know.
You guys are saying that.
That's all right.
That's just a fun insight, Dr. Haddock.
Yeah, what is it about?
That's what episode is.
Yeah, I don't want to explain it to this guy.
They're not masturbating.
You're saying those, oh, they just stop masturbating.
Yeah.
Who can go the longest?
Without masturbating.
Yeah.
Wow.
Sounds great.
Kramer sees a hot girl through a window, disappears, and then he comes back like five minutes later and he goes, I'm out.
Yeah, he just throws out.
That's how they end the scene.
It's really funny.
Sounds fun.
So good, dude.
Hilarious.
Great show of all time.
Tell us more about that funeral scene and Seinfeld.
Hilarious.
Dashing almost.
No, but yeah, you know the tough thing about like shitting on Seinfeld the show is I love Larry.
Yeah.
So I can't really shit on like when you guys say these ideas of the show, I want to shit all over them, but I know they're Larry's.
So I'm being a liar.
Yeah.
Like if Larry was pitching that to me and he's like, yeah, yeah, we just won't jerk off.
I'd be like, oh, this is brilliant.
But if like if Seinfeld was, I'd be like, would you really write a joke about this?
Like, or would that be too filthy for you?
Why don't we use a different word?
Yeah, what if he did it on stage?
Yeah, maybe jerking.
Can I tell you something?
Too strong.
Can I tell you something?
They didn't use the word.
It made it that much better.
Of course, they did.
No, no, they never said what it was.
What did they say?
FCC guideline.
Yeah, but it worked better.
Master of their own domain.
They used like a bunch of euphemisms and it made it way funnier.
Yeah.
Yep.
But Larry came up with it.
Oh, okay.
Dude, if Larry came up with it, that's fire.
It changes, bro.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Notice Larry went right to fucking HBO.
He's like, I want to curse.
I want to talk about sex.
I don't want to do that.
I'm done with this guy who's making fucking B movies.
You know what I mean?
I'm over it.
This guy's making fucking cartoons.
Jiu Jitsu Commentary and Filthy Words00:15:11
That one stung.
All right, guys.
Let's do some feelings, no facts.
Mark, talk to us.
Greatest UFC journalist of all time.
Self-proclaimed.
Not self-proclaimed.
The people proclaim me the greatest UFC journalist of all time.
The people's journalist.
I'm the people's journalist.
I thought you said it first.
No, the people's people, the people's greatest journalists of all time.
The people's greatest UFC journalists of all time.
Yeah, I'm the greatest journalist of the UFC of all time.
And MMA.
It's not just UFC, it's MMA.
Of all time.
Of all time.
All fighting sports.
Ask me anything about UFC.
I'll tell you right now.
Did you watch the fights?
Yes.
And what'd you think?
That was phenomenal.
I predicted this.
I told you a man in noons would get fucking knocked out.
People get mad because you keep on saying noons when it's nune's.
You don't even know how to say it.
How do you pronounce it?
Noons.
In Portuguese?
Noons.
They just have to sound a little bit more intarded.
Yeah, yeah.
But no, I predicted this was going to happen.
Okay.
Juliana Pena, just beast.
Beast.
What did you know?
Why did you know she was going to be?
Because she believes in herself.
She believes she could do anything.
The world is her oyster.
Okay.
All right.
And she also has great teeth.
Okay.
Got it.
And that's how you knew great teeth.
I just knew it, dude.
Actually, that's a good point.
If you're a fighter with great teeth, probably a good fighter.
You really?
I mean, it's just the Venezuelan vixen, bro.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, this is Venezuela.
Like, these people already produce the hottest women on the planet, and there's no food.
You start feeding these women?
They could do anything.
Yeah.
They already produce fat ass, big tits, beautiful face, beautiful body.
No food.
Even cardboard.
Natural right.
Oh shit, man.
Man, you start giving them real American nutrients.
Chicago shit, cheese, meat, bread.
Unstoppable.
Unstoppable force.
It's an unstoppable force of Venezuelan with food.
Cannot be stopped.
That's a good ass.
What did you actually think of a fight though?
You thought it was like.
I thought it was so entertaining.
It was fucking unbelievable.
Yeah, I think it was Friday night because of, I think it should have been Friday night just because of the sheer upset.
Like it was unbelievable.
It was so incredible to see.
Like Amanda Noones is noons is so, if you were watching the latest fights, like so incredibly dominant.
Like she touches you, you go to bed.
And she touched Pena and she walked through it, kept punching through it.
She was not scared.
She called her shots.
She'd been calling her out for a while.
She said exactly what she was going to do and then she fucking did it.
And when you do that stuff, it is just so impressive.
So God bless her, man.
And man, that was just so fucking awesome.
Were you a little bummed to see the end of the era?
No.
And I'm not saying that she can't come back.
Like, I think she can come back and she just has to be a little bit more.
She got into a firefight.
Another thing that was really interesting, we were talking to Ben Askrin about this.
And grappling cardio is different than boxing cardio.
Okay.
So, and you saw the same thing happen in the sec, in the other co-main event with Olivera and Poirier.
But Amanda, when she's on her feet, this great striker, like she can go for days striking, has all this power.
But what happened?
She got caught in a grapple with Pena.
And that grappling cardio, Askrin said, is different.
Right.
Like guys who have a super long gas tank, all of a sudden they're on the ground and they're grappling either jiu-jitsu or wrestling and it just tires them the fuck out, right?
You saw guys that can go forever just get absolutely, thoroughly fucking exhausted.
And I guess it just requires a different, I don't know, maybe it just requires a different type of muscle usage.
And because of that, you gas quicker.
Right.
I don't know.
Like a guy like Ben Askrin, you look at his body, you're like, no, this guy doesn't have great cardio.
I bet that guy can wrestle for days.
A guy like DC, you look at his body, you're like, oh, this guy probably doesn't have a great cardio.
But that guy can wrestle for fucking days.
Right.
So it is a different ballgame.
And I think that's going to be a skill that's going to be utilized to minimalize the effect of these strikers.
I think we're about to be like in a new evolution of MMA.
Like the sport just keeps evolving.
It's crazy.
Because you saw in the second fight or in the second co-main event, Poirier Olivera.
I don't know if you guys saw it.
Did you guys watch?
Nah, that was.
Oh, you watched.
So it's like once for like basically the whole, what was it?
Second round?
I think it was like a whole second round that Olivera got Dustin on the ground and just kind of stood over him.
And then Dustin was just kind of like holding on because he didn't want to, in the middle of the octagon, give potentially give up his back or do something sneaky that could because Olivera is so good at jiu-jitsu.
Right.
So he's like, I'm basically just going to hold and get fucking pounded on for the whole round and then they'll stop it.
Then we're back on the feet.
I'll get back to business.
But that shit taxes you, gasses you.
He came back in the third.
He was fucking gassed.
Right?
Like, you even saw it with, remember when Izzy fought Jan Blohovich?
Right.
And Jan just stayed on top of him.
He wasn't even trying to really score.
But he was like, as long as we're not on our feet, this guy doesn't have an advantage over me.
And Izzy looked gassed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
And now it's different.
He's coming up 20 fucking pounds fighting a guy who weighs much more than him and a guy's just leaning on him the whole time.
But I'd be interested to see what he has to say.
Like, does he think that grappling actually taxes him in a different way?
Izzy's been kickboxing since fucking, what, 18 or something like that?
He won't get tired on it.
You'll never see him get tired of throwing strikes.
Like, just when he in that fight with Gastrolyme, you remember fifth round?
I'm prepared to die.
Yeah.
Was it just swinging for the fences, fifth round?
So it's like, there's something about that cardio that's different.
I mean, you even saw it like Connor, anybody who goes up against Khabib, once Khabib starts holding you, unbelievable.
Something's different about that cardio.
So that might be a good strategy used for the strikers.
And I wonder if we're about to be in this new era where, like, one of the earlier eras was these jiu-jitsu guys came and they started fucking tapping these people out.
Right.
And if you didn't have any skill with jiu-jitsu, once someone grabbed you, it was over.
They just tangle you up and then find a way to tweak some part of your body or get that fucking neck and then it's done.
And then what happened is the strikers started learning enough jujitsu or wrestling in order to combat the grappling and then keep it on the feet.
Right.
Or these guys that were like wrestlers were able to keep the jiu-jitsu guys away from them enough and then developed enough striking where they could have an advantage.
And then we had this cool era where it was like the strikers were starting to dominate that had good wrestling backgrounds.
Right.
It was like these wrestlers that learned really good striking.
Right.
And I wonder now if we're starting to get into this era where it's like those jiu-jitsu guys, it was kind of like been forgotten almost.
Yeah.
If these jiu-jitsu guys start to get good enough at striking, where their striking was elite, like this Charles Olivera guy, like he can bang with you.
He can go.
He can go with you.
He can throw.
But if it goes to the ground, be careful.
Right.
Because when Dustin and Olivera were swinging on each other, when they were standing up and striking, Dustin was winning those exchanges.
But Dustin knew if this guy gets my back or if he holds me or anything, there's nothing I can do.
And it's a really good advantage.
Just like what happened with Nate Diaz every single fight.
Like Nate Diaz could get clipped, go to the ground.
You can't go to the ground with him if your jiu-jitsu isn't good.
Right.
You can't, like, you could try to ground and pound him, but if he locks you up, now you're giving him the advantage.
Right.
It's like what Connor would say: just get up.
Right.
Right?
It's like, I have a bet.
I would rather let you get up and recover than be on the ground and be in a dangerous position.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't strike you.
Let's go.
There it is.
So, like, Olivera is like even more dangerous with the jiu-jitsu.
I wonder if it's this kind of new era where these jiu-jitsu guys finally got elite at striking, and now everybody's going to have to get their jujitsu up.
Yeah.
Because you can't just defend now.
Because when you're on your feet, you don't have the same advantage you used to have.
Yeah.
Did you watch a Sean O'Malley fight?
Yes.
I love watching him.
He's great.
He's just so fun.
He's great.
And I think Joe brought up an interesting thing about O'Malley, which was he's like, they're bringing him up in the same way they bring up boxers.
Yeah, they're doing a great job.
Yeah.
And usually, actually, what I admire about the UFC is they don't usually do this.
Is by the time you're ready to be in the UFC, they figure like you're one of the best fighters, and then we can throw you in with the wolves.
Right.
Maybe give you one fight to see where you are, but then eventually we're just going to basically sink or swim with you.
Right.
And the UFC is such an amazing promotional ally because they have all the fighters signed.
It doesn't matter if you lose.
We're going to fight you again.
We decide who fights.
But they literally will just be like, hey, we think you're pretty good.
We're going to put you in with a guy who's a fucking name.
If you beat him, you're going to skyrocket.
If you don't, we'll see what happens with you.
Yeah.
And that's also a risk you can take when you're not paying the guys these crazy numbers.
Yeah.
If you have if you have a fighter that's under a contract where he gets $5 million a fight, you better make sure he wins.
Right.
You got to be ready.
Don't get invested.
Why would you make him fight some really tough wrestling guy that could potentially hold him down?
Not an interesting fight, get him injured.
Like, yeah.
The model, I know it sounds crazy and like I'm capping for the UFC, but the model, the pay structure creates more entertaining fights, incentivizes the entertainment because everybody wants to get the bonuses and allows you to take fights and lose and keep fighting.
Right.
The structure at least, but the threshold, they got to be making enough to compensate your punch in the head.
Yes, don't get me wrong.
And I don't know what those numbers are, so I have to figure out what that is.
That's what I'd like to know.
But what I hope is that these people like Sean O'Malley learn how to make enough money outside of the sport with the fame that they're getting from it where they can produce real money.
It's like, I'm not crying that YouTube is not paying me more money.
Right.
I'm literally creating, we're literally creating hours and hours of content for them to put advertising on, and we get a fraction of those advertising.
But you know what we did?
We went and got our own advertisers, right?
Now, if the UFC becomes like NCAA and limits their ability to get sponsorship and all this other stuff and starves out the guy, that's fucked up.
But if they're like, yo, do your thing, go teach some seminars here, do classes there, content here, blah, blah, blah.
Advertise for this guy, be there.
Use the stardom to create money.
I just want to fight, though.
I just want to fight.
Hey, that's like comics.
They go, I just want to go up.
Yeah, I just want to tell jokes.
Do you?
No shit.
We all do.
Yeah.
You want to tell jokes for a living?
Well, you might have to do a couple more fucking things.
Don't be a dinosaur.
But if you're a part of a promotion, like they should be able to hook it up.
Like, if you're a comic, you're just out there on your own, not signed.
There are some that are able to do that.
They just won't reach the same heights.
You can do that.
Right.
But if you want to find a way to make money, and please believe the bigger your star gets outside of it, the more you command inside of it.
Yeah.
So it's just this, if you're doing it right, it's this whole self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah.
Which to me is Sean's leverage: is that like they just see him as a star.
They're like, he's down to play ball.
Like he knows how to get people to watch.
He's good at pressers.
Like his hair is dyed.
Like he knows how to get attention.
So let's build him up, give him all the fights that he needs, and then put him in like the big money fights.
And he's, if I'm him, I'm not mad at it because I'm like, shit, I want to risk, I want to take a risk making no money.
I'll take the risk when I'm making the real money.
When I re-sign my new contract and I'm getting five times more than I am for each one of these fights, I would love to fight the top five and potentially lose.
I'll potentially lose for millions.
Yeah, but you want to be 15 and no.
Of course.
Oh, so you said they're bringing him up like a boxer because they're giving him easy fights right now.
That's what it seems like, right?
Yeah, they're not throwing him in with the wolves, which is like traditionally what a lot of times UFC will do.
They usually do taking losses who gives a fuck.
I mean, if you look at this guy like Michael Chandler, who they signed, right?
Like his first few fights in UFC have been just fucking savages.
I think his first fight was against Dan Hangman, right?
Shout out to Dan.
Love Dan.
And he was the guy that came to the Las Vegas show and was saying it this on stage.
Just an absolute savage, right?
Then his next fight is against Charles Oliveira, right?
Who is the title holder?
And then his last fight was against Justin Gaetchy.
It's just savages.
Savage after savage after savage.
So it's like they're down to play ball, but they don't have anything to lose because they're like, all right, if we believe in this guy, we'll keep giving him shots.
And if he keeps fucking up these shots, then we can cut him.
Right.
Yeah.
Like, people might not like the pay structure, but they cannot deny that the product is phenomenal.
And we just have to look at how much of that has to do with the pay structure.
Right.
Also, this is not to say that O'Malley's fights were easy.
Like, I don't think like they were, maybe like they weren't objectively like the hardest, but like his fight against Chris Matinho was like, I guess not.
It was easy for him.
Not down.
But like the other fights that he's had.
I mean, his fight against Cheeto Vera wasn't easy and Cheeto Vera won.
And that was a big step up in competition.
And then so they brought it back down a little bit.
And I think, but if I'm him, I'm not mad at that.
I'm like, yo, pay me.
If you're going to pay me 20 grand for a fight or whatever the fuck it is, then I'm going to fight a 20 grand fighter and I'm going to pick him apart and entertain and do all these things with very little risk.
You got to pay me for risk.
Yeah.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like pay me to get fucked up.
Exactly.
Like anybody's going to fight a midget for $10,000.
Like there's no risk.
Yeah.
Right.
But $10,000 to fight Rampage.
You think it's an indication of other fighters?
Like, yo, I got to come in with something else to like offer value to the promotion so that they have an incentive to want to build me up.
I think it's a kid who grew up on the internet and understands the game and understands the successful people and how this shit works.
You know what I mean?
It came out to the 6ix9ine song.
Yeah, so that unreleased, like leaked 6ix9ine track.
Oh, I thought it was a, I didn't know it was an unreleased track.
I thought it came out yet.
Oh, I thought it was just whatever.
But yeah, I mean, I got six, nine tattoo.
I mean, it's like, to be honest, it's the same way as like any comic that's either doing comedy now or coming into comedy, is they're going to see the way that we've done it, and they're going to do that exact same thing.
This is just how you succeed in the game.
This is what it is now.
So it's like, you're going to go, okay, wow.
What are Schultz and his boys doing?
Okay, this is it.
This is how comedy is done now.
And that's just what it is.
So if you're a young fighter coming up, you're going to be probably on TikTok.
You're going to be on YouTube.
You're going to be podcasting or going on podcasts.
The Nelk boys tell you to come out.
You're going to fucking come hang out.
And I know there's motherfuckers out there that just want to get in the gym and bang.
And that's cool.
You're just not going to make as much money.
Yeah.
Or it might take you longer because you're not offering external value to the promotion.
Yeah.
And listen, the reality is, is like 99% of people just aren't good enough to be champion.
But some of you could be entertaining enough to get a shot.
Yeah.
If you're doing anything live, you got to sell tickets.
And it's hard to do that with just skill.
Yeah.
You need some personality.
People need to be attached to you, man.
And that's another thing for Sean is that he has a personality.
And that's the thing with the UFC.
Personalities thrive.
So it's like, you don't even have to win.
But if you have an engaging personality and a really good fight style, you'll keep fighting.
You'll be a fucking commentator.
Like, they take care of the guys that do good work for the business.
Like, it's one thing.
Like, you don't have to be the guy who's 20 and oh to be one of the commentators.
Yeah.
You just got to be interesting, articulate enough, right?
And an engaging personality that people want to see.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
I think there's a lot of opportunity there.
I'm the type of person that's like, yo, let me see the opportunity.
Like, you got guys, like, guys who would be journeymen in boxing making millions of dollars in the UFC.
Like Sarone.
Oh, yeah.
With his record, people would call him a journeyman as a boxer.
Black Lives Matter and Personality00:15:43
Right.
But in MMA, he was a fucking star.
Nate Diaz is a superstar.
Superstar.
Masvidal, superstar.
Mazzaro is a superstar.
It's like, if I'm not the best fighter in the gym, I'm looking at the UFC and I'm like, how do I get in?
I don't care.
Like, just let me get in, get one crazy knockout.
Yeah.
With the UFC, you are one crazy knockout away from a massive fight.
Yeah.
That's true.
And it's the other guys that, like, when you're the best, you don't really need it as much.
You know what I mean?
Like, Kamaro, like, he doesn't have to be doing all the antics and all the crazy shit.
And he'll make less money because of it.
Yeah.
But he's already the champ.
He's the best.
I know, but it doesn't matter.
He needs to fight people.
He needs to fight people that will bring those antics.
Like, his payday is going to come when he's fighting Colby and Colby's going to sauce it up.
His payday is going to come.
He's going to fight Mazvedal.
Mozzadall is going to spice it up and be on all the pods.
You know what I mean?
Kamaro is in the gym.
He's working and he's the best and he's undeniable.
It is what it is.
That's the fact.
People are trying to get into a fight with him.
100%.
If he just has the belt forever, he'll just make all the money from all the other people doing it.
But people won't care to see him lose it or win it if they don't personally value him.
But they might care about his opponent.
So now he's opponent dependent because a lot of people wanted to watch Floyd lose just because they hated him.
You're foolish to think that people just care about greatness because casuals don't care about greatness.
Casuals care about personality.
Right?
Like, we know that even from our game.
You know what I mean?
So it's like the casual is out there for the person that they've engaged with and that they love and for whatever reason they connect with.
And that might have nothing to do with how great they are at the sport.
So he's going to have to rely on the casuals really loving or hating his opponent in order for him to make the most money.
And that's fine too, because he's got the leverage since he got the belt.
Them casual, them, them characters, those personality-driven fighters need to fight him in order to get the belt.
Right.
That's my point.
As long as he got the belt, then he's fine.
He's got exactly.
And I think he's going to have the belt for a while because he's unbelievable.
Absolutely.
But still, his biggest payday will not come from another guy who's also really skilled that deserves a fight.
It'll come from a guy who has got personality and people to gravitate to.
Yeah.
Like if he fights Nate Diaz, people are going to tune into that fight because they love Nate Diaz.
And then the people who are actual students of the game and really care are going to be like, oh my God, Kamara Usman is the best that's doing it right now.
I need to see him fight.
But the way you make the real money is when my girl is interested in a fight.
You know what I mean?
When Akash goes, we got to watch.
Like if Connor fights, Akash is going to watch it.
I'm going to watch.
Kamara goes Jake Paul.
We got to set it up.
Yo, I would be in.
You'd be in.
And we like Kumar.
Kuku would have been the personality.
But Jake is going to bring somebody to it.
So it's like, honestly, if I'm Kamara, I'm just fighting motherfuckers that people hate if I want to be the hero.
Like, who do people hate the most in the UFC?
But it's got to be close enough.
It can't just be bums that are crazy.
I don't think at this point it matters.
I would think if he's just destroying lower level opponents, people would be like, oh, he's just fighting bums.
I think you get to a level of dominance where it's like, if you're just knocking all these motherfuckers out, might as well knock the person out that I don't like.
Yeah.
You know, like, if I think you're crazy to think that people wouldn't watch a Jake Paul MMA fight against Kumaro.
Yeah, that's insane.
But I think people are tuning in.
They want to see Jake lose.
That's all I'm saying.
As long as they want to see somebody win or lose, not skill displayed.
That's for the people who love it.
You know?
Yeah.
What else we got?
Jesse Smollett.
Oh, yeah, he's guilty, right?
Oh, yeah.
I think the big story here is Black Lives Matter LA or Black Lives Matter posting that they still can't side with the Chicago Police Department.
They still support Jesse and he's been a vocal advocate and he's been out front.
And then they will, we can never side with the Chicago PD.
We can never side with any police department, especially not Chicago.
And then they bring up a lot of fucked up history, but that got nothing to do with this.
The recent history is motherfucker made up of hate crime.
And I think they miscalculated because the public perception is, yo, I'm done with Black Lives Matter.
Bro, seems that's what I'm seeing.
You saw Carlos' tweet?
Carlos' tweet.
Yeah.
When Carlos Miller is tweeting that kind of shit, you know you fucked up Brandon Wise.
If you are black and Carlos Miller is outwardly saying I don't fuck with you, you fucked.
What did he say?
He's like, they stole all that money and did nothing for us.
Yeah.
I'm going to remember that or something like, or remember that, something like that.
Yeah, remember that.
Black Lives Matter stole all that money and nothing's changed.
Yeah.
And I even saw an opinion piece in, I think it was Newsweek written from maybe he's a professor, emeritus or something at Brooklyn College.
We know Newsweek to be fairly liberal, probably.
Definitely professors I know to be fairly liberal.
And he was like, Black Lives Matter really missed the mark with this.
Not just defending Jesse Smole, but like, I forget the other thing they said.
Oh, he's like, this guy's guilty of a crime.
And the fact that you can defend that is crazy.
And to see a white professor in Brooklyn publicly say that.
Yeah.
You just discredit your whole platform and you make it so emotional.
So now it looks like all of your facts or arguments are based on that emotion and can't be taken like because people do things that are wrong.
Yeah.
Right?
Like you just have to be willing to admit that.
Like if there's somebody from your community that you want to support does something wrong, you have to be able to hold them accountable so that people can trust that your decision making, if you're going to be a leader, that your decision making is on point.
Yeah.
Like to come out and say, listen, this is really fucked up, what you did.
And you discredit the plight of black people in America by doing things like this because there are so many instances of racism that happen.
And now those can potentially be discredited by you faking this thing.
And you can use the same examples you use like Fred Hampton to say, these are people who actually had it.
You discredit them as well.
Because now people who do get mistreated by the police department, you're going to look at them a little bit more skeptically.
We don't support what he did.
That's all you got to do.
That's it.
It sounds like they're just riding for their boy, though.
Fuck that, bro.
But that's like the Chris Cuomo thing we were talking about last week.
You're not family.
You're not family.
And you, Chris Cuomo is a news guy who's helping his friend, and he's shading the lines of what ethical journalism is.
You are an advocacy group.
Your entire purpose is to change and help.
Chris Cuomo is an entertainer.
Black Lives Matter is outwardly the most morally righteous.
We are trying to help our people at all costs.
And then all the little whisperers that we would kind of be like, it's weird a little bit that they say like, I want to justify or I want to abolish the nuclear family and this and that.
All of that you can point to now and justifiably be like, these people are out of their minds.
Yeah.
You can't.
You're giving ammunition to your opposition.
Yes.
But it seems like they're just not trying to, they don't really care about consistency.
They're just like, we're siding with whatever the black cause is.
And that's why you lose credibility.
But they could have chose to not say anything.
That's the other thing.
You could just be silent.
You could not say anything.
You could say we side on, we are on the side of justice and there is constantly injustice done to our people.
However, in this case, justice is not with him.
That's the really like, oh, that's, if they did that, I'd be like, that's dope.
Good for them.
But now I don't trust it.
Fuck, bro, Carlos Miller, not a guy that's going to tweet this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He didn't say it to me on a private text.
He tweeted that shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I've never really seen them.
I've just always seen them on the side of like black empowerment.
And like, I've never really seen them on like the side of.
Even empowerment should not blindly support everything no matter how wrong it is.
Yeah, I don't disagree.
But to me, it's not like super unexpected.
That's like pitying.
That's like coddling.
That's not empowering at all.
Yeah.
I mean, we talked about this before.
Like, I think the most effective thing if BLM wanted to get white people on board is show all the police brutality that people have done against white people.
Yeah.
And be like, yo, we're all in this together against fucked up policing and systemic racism.
Like let's all get together.
But they don't do that.
Well, because then that would be an all lives matter argument.
Right.
And they'd have to, yeah, they'd have to admit that all lives matter.
And their thing is a sole focus on black people and the black plight in America.
But that would be very effective in getting them to their goal.
But clearly, there's not a lot of logic or reasoning at the head of this movement, or at least the one in, is it specifically Los Angeles or is it?
According to TMZ, I'm reading here, it says BLM and BLM LA released a statement before the verdict in support of the Empire Actor.
Yeah, this is a shame.
So, but it seems to me like they're just calculating.
They're like, yeah, we just are going to fuck with black people no matter what.
No matter what the truth is, no matter what, it doesn't matter.
Whatever black people are doing, we fuck with that.
Yeah, you just discredit the whole brand.
What do you think, Al?
Yeah, I'm not for that.
It's like even people from my community, if you're doing wrong, you call it out.
Yeah.
Because that's how you improve your community.
Or stay silent.
And I would probably stay silent for family.
And I think for friends, I'd be like, nah, it's fucking wild.
Especially if I am an advocacy group.
If you're asking me of what are you all fucks up, I'm like, I'm riding with my boy.
But I am never an advocate.
I'm the last advocate.
How do you listen to and take the advice of a group that is admitting to you they're willing to just lie or overlook the truth to support the people that have supported them?
How do you actually have a serious conversation with a politician?
Like you're walking into a room and they're just looking at you and they're like, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't think Cosby did it.
Right?
You're just like, well, that feels like bad family.
And I'll tell you.
Can I take anything else serious that you say out of your mouth?
By doing this, by supporting Jesse Smillet, Black Lives Matter, the organization.
They're QAnon.
They're QAnon.
They have done the biggest disservice.
They did.
And they have done the biggest disservice to Black Lives Matter, the movement.
Because now whenever somebody tweets hashtag Black Lives Matter, you're not going to associate it with the fact that black people are being killed by cops disproportionately.
This is fucked up.
Systemic racism, all that.
You're going to, you have the exit ramp up.
Oh, you know what?
That's an organization that won't even fucking call out their own.
I'll give a fuck about that.
You look ridiculous having a Black Lives Matter hashtag.
You have an off-ramp.
That's great.
You just dismiss it.
Shout out to the trip.
You got to dismiss the whole thing.
Yeah.
You just dismiss it.
We just need the exit ramp.
They're saying I don't take it all the time.
Need the exit ramp for caring.
That's it right there.
Now they have done more to undercut the Black Lives Matter movement than anything they did before that to help it.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's arguable, but that's a feeling.
They definitely did a lot to hurt it.
You're not tweeting Black Lives Matter right now.
That's true.
I agree with that.
You think it alienates even liberal white people that are on board with them?
Hmm.
Like, in my opinion, conservatives are already alienated from them from a year ago.
Yeah, I think it makes it a little bit harder for liberal whites now.
Definitely the moderates.
Moderates are looking at it now, and they're not going to be educated enough, a lot of them, to separate the movement from the organization.
They're going to be like, oh, nice organization.
This whole movement is just, it's just gone.
It's nonsense.
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
What else?
You want to talk about Pat McAfee?
Again, the $120 million bag.
Shout out to Pat McAfee, man.
Pat, Pat, Pat.
Congratulations.
Huge duel.
Duel?
Huge deal.
Huge deal with FanDuel.
Fan duel.
That's it.
Huge deal.
Looking like 30 M's a year, I think.
30 M's a year for four years.
So $120 million total.
Wow.
Now he's got to pay out everybody from that, but that's $120 million.
I mean, that's big time.
Crazy.
The guy deserves it.
He's a big beast.
He is, he is like, he's the perfect combination.
It's like you always want an athlete to be talking about sports.
There's something about an athlete talking about sports teams.
It's credibility.
But he's also someone who would have been able to do this even if he wasn't an athlete.
He's that good at it.
So it's really great to be that good at it and have the credibility of being an athlete.
It's like, I got to go here first.
And if you're a player, I imagine you want to talk to a guy who's been in the league a little bit.
100%.
He gets, even if you look at punters, like they're not a part of it, first of all, he was there.
Second of all, his co-host is AJ Hawk, who was a linebacker for the Packers.
First round pick.
This guy knows what the fuck is up.
Yeah.
So he's just brilliantly done.
This is great to see, man.
It's just great to see they built that thing and just him and his team just bravo, bravo.
I didn't know that they were doing it every day of the week.
It's five days a week, dude.
It's five days a week.
So good for him.
But it's just awesome.
I love to see this.
I love to see somebody build something on their own, something that they're passionate about, and then be able to make life-changing, I mean, generational wealth.
Dude, the craziest thing, this is a Spotify deal without Spotify.
Usually it's a Spotify deal or a so whatever company deal, and your podcast has to move exclusively there.
Yeah, this is just a sponsorship from Fandu, who already sponsored him.
And from what I've heard, I heard a little bits of the show, betting is intimately, it's a part of the show.
And they will shout out Fandel and they will push it.
But Fandu was like, we just want to keep you.
Do everything else the same, have it on all the platforms.
We're giving you $30 million a year to just keep doing you.
Do all your other ads, I assume, because they do have other sponsorships.
I have Liquid Death as a sponsor.
I can't imagine Fanduel being like, you can't have Walter sponsors.
Why would they give a fuck?
Maybe.
That'd be an interesting thing to look into.
He's also a cool dude.
He donated like $3 million.
He donated $6 million of it.
Oh, $6 million.
Yeah.
In the beginning, it was just $3 million, but now he's up to $6 million just to his local high school, like children's hospitals, like athletic teams that needed money.
He's just supporting his communities that he grew up in and lived in.
Wow.
That's fire.
I wish I had sent you the tweet, but it was sad to see Dave Portnoy tweeted some real like kind of snarky shit.
What do you say?
Basically, he said, like, he kind of was like, I gave Pat this playbook.
I taught him how to get bet on sports.
And like, without me, there is no, without me and Barstool, there is no Pat McAfee, which is true.
Pat McAfee started on Barstool, but they left on good terms.
Pat was basically just like, yo, I'm working in Indianapolis.
I'm not moving to New York.
Things are getting lost in translation.
I need to be on my own.
And then built this thing into something fucking crazy.
And Dave could have just been like, yo, it's good to see one of our own doing it.
You know what I mean?
And then he was just kind of snarky about the whole thing.
And then Pat, to his credit, all about positivity, was just like, hey, thanks for the, you know, thanks for the first shot, boss, or whatever, on moving forward or whatever.
Like, he just said something nice back, but it was just kind of disappointing.
Like, Dave, you're good, dog.
Yeah, Pat's always been a nice dude.
I knew him back when I was working in Indianapolis.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So I was at Bob and Tom, where like Pat kind of started, or at least in my opinion, started a lot of his broadcasting stuff.
Is that Bob and Tom was a local radio show in Indianapolis and he was like the biggest local celebrity.
So they would have him on all the time.
And so he would come on and he was like doing stand-up at the same time.
I saw him like do his first few like headlining sets at Morty's in Indianapolis.
And after the shows, like I was just a kid and I would like go and hang out.
I was probably like 18 at the time.
And he was like super friendly, like would just sat me down, like was talking to me.
Yeah, like an after-party thing and like the ball.
He like played soccer and he was like, bro, you played soccer.
I did ODP growing up.
Like he was just like a super nice dude.
I ended up tweeting him.
I was like, dude, great meeting you.
Like, hit me back.
He was like, yeah, man.
That's so dope.
Stay in touch.
Like, he was always a nice dude.
And I'm pretty sure he retired early to do barstool.
Like, I don't think Barstool was that big when he went there either.
He was just like, he saw the opportunity.
He saw where he fit in.
He's, you know, why he had like a couple of knee surgeries.
I think he was in bad shape physically to be a punter, but he had a good contract.
It was $14 million.
And then he walked away from it and then went to Barstool.
Not that year, but that was the total contract.
How much was oh, total?
Yeah, I think he had a few million left on it, but he just walked away from it and said, I'm going to do this thing.
And now he built it into he gets paid like an NFL quarterback now.
How crazy is that to make more money being a broadcaster than you do playing the sport you're broadcasting?
Not only you make more money than anyone on your team made.
Wow.
I doubt quarterbacks are making 30 million a year and retired.
Yeah, that's true.
Wow.
Fucking wild.
Yeah.
Good for him.
Yeah, good for him, man.
Shout out to Pat.
We need you on the podcast, Pat.
100%.
Garbage Collectors and Mafia Stigma00:04:11
Next time you're in New York, you got to pull up.
Yeah, no Zoom.
Come through.
Yeah, yeah.
Pull the fuck up.
All right.
Feelings, no facts.
Some NYC sanitation workers have salaries approaching $300,000 a year due to staffing issues.
Get it, boy.
Get it.
Crazy.
Get it in.
That's insane.
Get it in.
Basically, they have such understaffed people that they have guys working overtime.
And they can make up to 300.
This one dude made $170,000 working overtime.
Yeah.
That's more time with garbage, fam.
Yeah.
Like, pay them everything, bro.
Yeah.
Like, and they got good benefits.
Like, they get time and a half.
All you can eat.
That's a fact, bro.
They got left over for days, though.
Y'all don't know that joke?
No.
Yeah, that's the oldest.
$500 a week and all you can eat.
That was the old.
You probably heard that back in the day.
Excellent.
But damn, man.
I mean, you're picking up fucking garbage, dude.
That garbage juice all over you.
Like, also, you gotta, like, there's a stigma to like being a garbage man.
Yeah, that's true.
A little bit.
I like more, though.
If a dude comes up to you at a bar, he's like, yeah, I'm a garbage man.
You're like, okay.
Usually they'd be there now.
Yeah.
But like, I'm in sanitation.
It's like, you almost got to like say you're in the mafia so that people don't think you're an actual garbage collector.
You know, yeah, how do you say that to a girl?
You're at a bar, like she asks you, what do you do?
Sanitation.
You can't say sanitation.
I work for the city.
I work for the city.
My department of sanitation.
Yeah.
What do you do there?
I pick the bags up and throw it in the back of the truck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What date can you even bring that up?
I think you go to bars, which like sanitation workers go, and the girls, no.
You think so?
Yeah.
You go to sanitation bars, dude.
There's a lot.
Dude, they got Red Sox bars.
They got Yankees bars.
They also got sanitation bars.
100%.
And the girls are just down for it.
They know, bro.
They're sanitation sluts.
Yeah, give me that trash dick.
Junkyard cops.
Let's go.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel you probably got to bring it up after you're because then you don't want to lie, though.
Because you go on five dates and you're like, yo, by the way, I'm also a garbage man.
I think it's on some mafia shit to make them think you're in the mafia almost.
You say you're a garbage man and you pull out crazy wads of cash.
So they're like, oh, maybe he's in the mafia.
And then when they're in too deep, you're like, no, I throw away garbage.
Are you too good for that?
Yeah.
See the lifestyle I give us?
Your little fucking advertising job that makes $60,000 a year, you broke bitch.
Is that like the opposite of find out your girl's like an OnlyFans girl?
It's embarrassing to say that's what I mean.
It's like the inverse.
I think some of the stigma is gone with it.
Like, it's not as much as it used to be.
Well, the cleaner shit gets, the less stigma it will be.
Okay.
Like, the problem is they still got to touch the bags.
Like, in Europe, and I hate being one of these motherfuckers, like, in Europe, they figured out a way.
But, like, you know how these motherfuckers go.
They speak so many languages.
They're so smart.
I hate these people.
So it's like, but in Europe, at least in like Spain, you put your garbage in this bigger garbage receptacle on the street, and then the car, the garbage truck drives by, and then the truck itself lifts it and dumps it into the car.
So they're never even touching the garbage.
Okay.
So those dudes got it.
But they shouldn't get paid the same.
They should get that shit cute.
You get paid for the smoke.
I'm not paying that much.
How much do you smell for you to not touch trash?
Yeah.
Get out of here.
But you feel me?
Like, that stigma probably isn't as bad there.
He's a truck driver.
You're a truck driver.
You're a truck driver.
You're a Teamster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're a Teamster.
There it is.
But if you're actually picking up the garbage like they do here, and you're picking up the trash cans that don't even got the bag in it, you know, New York City trash cans, the mesh ones.
You don't know what the fuck is in there?
Like needles and shit.
You've got to advocate for them.
And the way that people are advocating for OnlyFans girls, we got to do that for the trash.
Right.
Right.
Destigmatized trash work.
That's fine.
Trash work is real work.
Right now they're doing better than OnlyFans girls, though.
Oh, yeah.
OnlyFans girls struggling.
They're struggling.
Wait, what do you mean?
All of them?
I mean, yeah.
Like the top 0.5% is killing it and everybody else is fucking.
You know the only thing worse than your girl being on OnlyFans?
Yeah.
Your girl failing and OnlyFans.
That's rough.
That shit is fucking horrendous.
Imagine you're with her.
Vaping, Smoking, and Teamster Life00:04:15
She's like, I'm going to do OnlyFans.
I'm going to make money.
Blah, blah, blah.
Does it makes nothing?
Yes.
And then got to come crawling back to you.
Now you're looking at this bitch.
It's like, nobody wants, bro.
Oh.
Not even the top 10%.
You weren't like, you couldn't get the 0.001.
You had to be fucking everybody.
Everybody flooded the market, though.
Yeah.
2020, everybody's sitting at home.
Like, I love it.
Yeah, it was about to be a market correction and self-confidence.
I also think you just got to find your niche.
Like, you got to just find your niche.
There's some girls that are hot enough they can just post face pics and they're in the 0.01.
Really?
Yeah.
And if you can't get there, I think you ought to just find nobody paying for faces, bro.
Nah, well, I mean, you pay for the parasocial relationships.
But if you can get the uh, if you, if, like, if you got her face, no, no.
So this is a huge part: OnlyFans a lot of dudes don't realize it's like they think they're texting the girls.
Oh my god.
And basically, these OnlyFans girls are part of agencies, and the agencies hire people to manage their accounts.
They have a call center with Indian guys DMing them back and forth.
Yeah.
And you think you're talking to some hot girl.
Let me tell you something.
If you're talking to an Indian guy, you're going to know.
Why is it so aggressive?
Making this so much.
You're talking about getting married already.
What is this?
Show me your big car.
All right.
You want to talk about New Zealand banning smoking?
That's interesting.
No more tobacco.
They didn't ban it.
They banned it for people born after 2008.
Yeah.
And vaping is not banned.
That's what's very curious about this whole thing.
You can still vape, but you can't smoke cigarettes.
Which I like as a non-smoker.
When people tell my friends who smoke vaping is worse for you, I'm like, I don't give a fuck.
Smoking is bad for me if you smoke.
Keep that shit out of my face.
Vaping, as long as you don't affect me, vape it up.
Kill yourself faster.
I don't give a shit.
That's a good point.
So you have the right to kill yourself.
Yeah, you have the right to kill yourself.
Don't make me smell it and kill me.
Yeah.
Secondhand smoke.
Oh, so is that why they're doing it?
Maybe.
Because they were trying to like create a law that would look out for their people, like in the same way that we make heroin illegal or crack.
That might be.
New Zealand's government's obviously wilding.
That's why fucking Izzy left.
But it also, if that's what they're doing, why only after 2008?
Ban smoking and make vaping legal, like keep vaping.
Well, people are addicted, yeah.
But you can go from cigarettes to vape, you still get your nicotine hit.
That's a good point, yeah.
That's a really good point, yeah.
But I don't think it's not the same, like some people are just like, I prefer smoking over vaping, and now you're gonna force me to switch over.
Tell those people to smoke some cocks.
I thought it was all tobacco products because I thought they were banning dip also.
If I'm not mistaken, the bottom of the article that was uh that Miles LinkedIn said vaping was not illegal, yeah.
Hmm, I don't know, that's a weird one.
I don't know, it's an odd choice, it's just a really weird thing.
Yeah, now either they're looking out for the secondhand smoke people, or is this just government fucking everything up like they always do?
Where it's just like you're trying to help, but it's just overcorrect, overreach, and you don't actually do anything.
How much of that secondhand smoke works?
You can't smoke as I know where anymore.
Yeah, that's true.
Like, who's getting second-hand smoke nowadays?
You're not stopping second-hand smoke.
Yeah, that's true.
That's crazy people just smoke back on planes, dude.
Everywhere.
That shit's insane.
Restaurants.
And they still say that.
Why do they still have to say that?
Like when we get on the plane and they're like, there's a non-smoking flight.
Do you really have to say this though?
Because every time you get on a plane next to an old dude, they go, I used to remember when I could smoke on these things.
So it's trying to remind those old bastards, yo, don't smoke.
Don't do it.
When that generation dies out, they're not going to say that.
They should do what New Zealand does.
It's just you can kind of age out.
If you're over 50, you can smoke on the plane.
Everyone else, nah, you got to vape or dude dip or something.
Do you think that cigarettes will just stop?
Yeah.
You think it was just stop being like a common thing that people use in the same way that like driverless.
What's that?
No, I said in New Zealand, yeah.
Nah, but like here, like you think eventually it'll just become antiquated.
Yeah.
It is antiquated.
Yeah, even my wife doesn't know anything.
She was like, I didn't know any smoke.
I was always so grossed out.
I barely knew any smokers.
We all knew smokers.
Even if you were grossed out by it, you knew motherfuckers smoked.
And now, if I've, I don't remember the last time I saw a young kid smoking cigarettes, unless it's the same way they wear them fucking wired headphones for the aesthetic.
You're vape.
Yes.
Unless you're trying to be throwback.
Nah, I don't think cigarettes go away.
Patreon Support and Antiquated Cigarettes00:02:31
I see, like, it's like drinking, kind of.
Like, a lot of people learn it when you're doing those activities and you pick something up early and then you're yeah, but there's no substitute for drinking.
That's what I'm saying.
Young kids just vape.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.
They were transitioning to vape.
That's what he said.
When he said driverless.
New York vaping is illegal.
So now they can't.
So it's illegal.
You can't buy the cartridge.
Oh, that's so stupid.
Let these little kids blow their fucking face off.
I don't have to smell cigarettes on them.
Wait, at all?
You can't buy any cartridges in New York.
Really?
Cigarettes are so wild.
If you go to the club where they still allow smoking, your clothes smell for two days.
Yeah.
Isn't that fucking crazy?
I mean, that's insane.
I didn't realize they banned it altogether.
I guess, yeah.
In New York, bro.
I guess.
Fuck.
Guys, we got to wrap this up.
This is a big week for me.
I got to get out of here.
Yeah.
Yeah, where are you going now?
I have to go pick a little something up.
I got to pick up my girl's ring, her wedding ring.
Did you get your ring yet?
Yeah.
Fire?
I got a few.
A little something nice.
I got a little something nice.
Yeah.
What do you mean you got a few?
I got like options.
He's got two.
I can pass that finger like Doctor.
Stupid.
No, like I got like a little funky thing, and then I got like a more traditional thing.
So, okay.
And then, yeah.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Got to mix it up a little bit.
Our rings aren't as crazy as their ring.
They can be, though.
That's what I told my girl.
I was like, whatever I'm spending on your ring, I'm spending it on my ring.
Gang.
Yeah.
That's the deal.
That's actually what I did.
Really?
I love it.
I never actually be for that to happen, but I looked back afterwards.
I was like, oh, shit.
I was right.
Yeah, I got to re-up on that.
Yeah, man.
But, yeah, I don't know.
Guys, thank you guys so much for listening, man.
We'll see you on Patreon Friday.
We're recording that tomorrow, Tuesday.
So if any crazy shit goes down Wednesday, Thursday, just know that we're all, well, I'm out there preparing for a wedding and these guys are about to fly out and be at the wedding.
And thank you guys so much for all the well wishes.
And thank you for spreading the word.
And this is the last podcast.
No, tomorrow's podcast is going to be the last one we record for the year, but we banked a few podcasts earlier the last couple weeks.
So you'll have podcasts throughout the rest of the year.
Just know that the last one in that chronology is the one we're doing tomorrow.
