Ranking Wedding Gifts00:14:57
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to Flavor 2.
Let's rank the wedding gifts.
Okay, starting right now.
It's your boy Sheltie, by the way.
I'm here with Akash saying.
We got Mark Gagna, Alex Media, White Media, Dub the Truffle, and Shifty in the building.
Breitbart on the ones and twos.
We got Breitbart over there for doing some audio.
His holiday sweater.
Okay, guys, I think it's important that we rank the wedding gifts that you guys gave to me for this glorious day that I gave to you guys.
Why do you got to rank the gifts?
Why can't you just be grateful for everyone?
Why don't we start with Mark's gifts?
Mark ruined his surprise.
He wanted to give me and my wife a surprise.
My wife.
He wanted to give me a wife.
He inspired a set.
I love it.
And so he messages me, right?
Knowing I'm with my fucking wife.
Yeah.
Right.
And he goes, hey, can you guys give me a code to get into your building?
And I go, yeah, I'll just tell Emma to do it.
And he goes, well, don't tell him it's going to ruin the surprise.
It's like, okay, well, that's already ruined.
Right.
So I think that this is going to be like this big surprise.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, oh my, this is about to be the most amazing present if we're going through elaborate code switching in order to get you in the building to sneak in and give the surprise.
Why can't I just get a key to your building?
Why can't I just go into your building?
My building doesn't have a key.
Grow up, my friends.
We got codes out here.
It's all technology.
If you knew how to give the code, then I could have just gone in.
Yeah, but I don't understand technology, my boy.
Call Shifty.
Shifty knows how to get into my building.
I did.
He said, talk to Andrew.
Let's go to Mark's gift.
Mark got me a bottle of Dom Perion champagne.
Fancy.
Very fancy.
Fancy.
The Lenny Kravitz edition.
Fancy?
I think.
It doesn't sound that fancy.
Lenny Kravitz to me.
Mark, what does an American rock musician know about champagne?
I tried to be the only one with a box.
I tried, dude.
It had the box.
What the fuck is this?
I see the bottle of champagne.
I'm like, whoa, Dom Perry, this is probably some exclusive shit.
And then I open it.
It's Lenny Kravitz 2008.
That's the best year.
It's a great year.
How do you know that?
It just sounds like it's a great year.
What the fuck does Lenny Kravitz have to do with champagne?
No, it is.
That's the light-up bottle, right?
No, no, no.
That's the Loomis.
I couldn't get the best.
Oh, you didn't get the Light Up Club box.
I was going to get the 2012.
Don't do that.
I wasn't going to get it.
I was going to get the box.
Yeah.
But I couldn't get 2012 because it was the worst vintage.
The flowers were nice.
The flowers were very nice.
But super anticlimactic.
Give me the key.
You can just give me that when I come to work.
And I'll be like, this isn't for you.
It was for your girl.
Yeah.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.
Y'all are my friends.
You got a lot of gifts already.
I got one great gift.
No, let's go through the gifts.
Listen, let's go through the gifts.
This is great.
What were you expecting?
What did you want to be in your apartment?
This is Miles' gift.
Honestly.
I was going to give you cookie back.
That was going to be your gift.
This is cookie back in your apartment.
See, this is thoughtful.
Actually, let's start with the best.
The best gift so far came from Vala.
Vala edited this whole video that we played at the wedding.
Yep.
Right.
And he had interviewed all like my friends and Emma's friends and our parents and everything like that.
And then he compiled this video and it was just really amazing.
It was a great job using your skills.
And it's going to be better when you watch it if you watch it on your own.
Because at first all the audience stuff is going to be better, but then it's like a private thing you can share with each other.
Oh, I haven't.
No.
Okay.
Well, I'm going to watch that whole thing.
Miles, you did something with pictures.
Oh, because you had the disposable camera.
And then there's like a note here that I don't know if I want to read.
Will it be embarrassing to you?
I would read it.
You can read it.
Okay.
To the couple who has it all, but needs nothing more than one another.
Oh, that was beautiful.
That is nice, dude.
That's nice.
Thank you.
That's nice.
He just did the guns up.
Thank you.
White medium.
Thank you for making me something at your wedding out of love and laughter.
Oh, cry.
That's your way.
Thank you for sharing your day and your people with me.
They're both unforgettable.
I'm so grateful for both of you and look forward to watching and participating in the movie that is your love and life.
That's beautiful.
And then really cool pictures, which I'll look at later since we have to do this podcast.
Correct.
Let me read my note.
I gave you a note.
I did.
You did give me a note.
It was a great note.
It was very sweet.
It was very sweet.
Thank you, your wife.
I wrote it.
You did not write it.
I looked at the handwriting.
I look at your handwriting all the time.
Literally, but I told her what to write.
Sure.
Anyway.
Okay, let's look at the other gifts.
Alex dropped some cash, which I thought was very generous.
Alex came through with a good amount.
Alex came through with a very good amount.
I saw that wedding.
I was like, he's going to need this.
You were right.
You were very right.
Miles comes through.
Chifty, nothing, but I know how much he makes, so that's okay.
FA, I got a shout out to F.A. F.A. F.A. came through with very generous.
Now let's go to the people who hasn't given me shit yet.
Dove.
What's up?
Wow.
You want me to list the reasons why I haven't gotten it?
Wow, you got reasons.
Wow.
Yeah, people.
He got reasons.
That's his gift to you.
Excuses.
Let's go, Dove.
Gov, Dub, tell us why.
Because you had more than enough time to go spearfishing in the fucking Bahamas.
Where's my gift?
Did I have more than enough time to go?
Where's my gift?
A ceremony as your rabbi and how much did you save not actually getting a real fucking priest?
You really think that you saved money not getting, you think a priest was going to do my wedding?
Also, do you have to pay the priest?
I mean, you got to put him up.
Hey, let's say one thing real quick.
Doug killed it.
Oh, just a wedding official.
He killed it.
And using most of our material.
Hello, welcome to Flavor 2.
Have your toes for our job.
You make Charlotte do all the heavy lifting.
Yeah, you brought Charlotte up.
Charla ends up doing the majority of the work.
What?
Typical Jew using a black man in hip-hop for success.
That was my little surprise.
Then...
You, Lior Cohen, has the picture.
Lior Cohen.
Another thing.
Then we can just jump right to it.
You fucking crashed.
Well, you brought your honeymoon to my honeymoon.
And then what did I get you the day after you got there?
A fucking yacht on Christmas Day.
So I got you a wedding gift.
You didn't get me a yacht.
Did you pay for the boat?
You literally didn't give me the guy from the boat.
Do you think he paid for the boat?
Yeah, exactly.
What is that, bro?
Yeah, time and effort.
Thank you, man.
Time and effort being friends with your friends.
But they like me.
Thank you, Oren.
Unbelievable.
This guy is unbelievable, dude.
That was a dollar mouse.
That's every NBA jam that Akash got us.
Uh-huh.
That's just a gift.
You know what I know?
Great gift, Joe.
You ain't.
By the way, you know what Andrew brought to the boat?
Can I just say what you brought to the boat?
Yeah.
Andrew brought to the boat.
A nice glass of fucking champagne.
A bottle of chicken.
It wasn't the Kid Rock Don Perry on version.
It was real champagne with a guy with a French fucking name.
Lenny and Pravda.
And Perry Jouet, which you got for free from the hotel that I reached out to get you a hookup on.
Shout out Pablo.
So I'm just making you money on your honeymoon.
He just did his job.
Does he think that this is not what he's supposed to do?
Does he think this is not the job?
Okay, the point is, where's the gift?
Okay, I'm reading like white people.
Being a rabbi?
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Being a rabbi is not a gift.
Hold up.
White people weddings.
You have a year to give the person a gift.
It says it right there on that list, vogue.com.
And, well, I just have to let you know something.
What is my wife?
I'm just going to let you know.
What is my wife, technically, according to your rules?
Yeah.
Ashkenaz.
She's soup Jews.
She's Jews.
According to your rules.
So when do the Jews give the gifts?
Andrew's babies are going to be more Jewish than yours.
100%.
They would be.
You're marrying a shicks.
Yeah, you're marrying a shit.
But I would normally, in that case, give money, but then it's like almost like, do I just tell the business manager to reroute which you pay me back to you?
Yeah.
That's how it works.
When my girl gets me something, you think it comes from her?
I'm buying me the thing.
We all know this.
It's a recycling of money.
Well, I could say that.
I give her the money.
She buys me a gift.
I go, babe, thank you so much.
That's good.
For saving me the time going on essence.com and buying a gift.
You're right.
So I'm going to buy her a money.
Whenever you buy the clothes with essence, right?
Essence.
Essence.
Triple S's.
So because you got one fire gift that's on your wrist right there.
No, no, we're not going to talk about the gift.
I'm going to get my deflecting.
My man, deflecting.
We're talking about where's your gift?
You guys going to not get a gift?
No, no, no, it's coming.
Classless, this guy.
It's coming.
What kind of piece is it?
Classless, this guy.
Oh, my friend's friend brought you on a boat in Miami.
That's my gift.
Shout out Omer Puravita.
Shout out Omar.
Yeah, we paid for that fucking boat with all the times we go to Puravita.
Saved your life, John.
Andrew gives him shout-outs right now, so it's not really.
Does that count?
Free.
Yeah.
Shout out, Orin, Alexander.
Best real estate.
Shout out, Oren.
You useless.
Okay.
What did Akash get you?
Yeah, what did Akash get me?
Nothing.
Open up your Coinbase wallet right now.
Oh, my God.
No.
Ooh, that was good because he set that up today.
So I knew you would never buy any of these altcoins on your own.
So a few months ago, I made an investment on both of our behalfs.
It's up 40%.
I just sent you half the money.
This guy's on beast.
Oh, that was good.
That was fucking good, bro.
I thought I had, I thought I had Akash on the rocks.
Yo, you ain't shit, bro.
And your speech was nothing compared to Akash's.
Little goofy ass jokes.
Oh, we're all here.
I'm Robadol.
I'm Robadol.
I can't look at you.
Look at me.
I'm a Robadol.
I'm just crying.
Eating fucking shellfish the entire goddamn time with the sushi.
You're crying.
You're crying.
Get a new shirt.
That's what we have to do.
New wardrobe for Dove.
Buy yourself that.
Oh, my God.
We're in my time.
He still doesn't even have an apartment.
He's not committed to nothing.
This guy's still living in a hotel.
He's deflecting.
I'm not deflecting.
He made you thousands.
You think it's because no woman wants to commit to him that he doesn't want to commit to anything else?
Yo, real talk.
Why should a woman commit to you if you can't commit to yourself?
Oh, shit, bro.
Bam, bam, bam.
Buy it.
Just keep coming.
Bam, bam, bam.
Keep coming.
I can't believe it.
You have the receipts, my friend.
I'll tell you when to sell.
You don't have a receipt for my gift, that's for sure.
Okay.
Was there anybody else?
Oh, yeah.
And then obviously the big gift.
I got one for Emma, too.
That's at that.
Ooh, sorry.
Yeah, you got it.
I got one for your wife.
They know now.
It's at the house.
Damn.
Boy, this guy went for it.
And I like how you got me a gift for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is class.
Of course.
Hey, buddy, come on.
Because you know me.
I know you.
Exactly.
I want your wife enough to know I think that's what you're doing.
That counts as a good gift.
A gift that she can't use at all.
This is a private account she knows nothing about.
You know what I'm saying?
We got all your accounts, baby.
I'm giving all my money to Akash.
We're going all in on FNFTs and crypto.
And they can't take nothing from us.
NFTs are mass straight.
We're going to hit 60.
Divorce our wives.
You know what I'm saying?
Get that house together.
Finally, finally.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
But no, I got to give a huge shout out to the motherfucking boss of all bosses, the best present, without a doubt.
Yeah.
Fucking Rogan.
Rogan comes to the house and then hands me this box.
And I know it's a fucking Rolex from the box.
Just the weight?
The weight and the shape and everything like that.
And it was wrapped, but I don't want to say it because that's presumptuous.
Yeah.
You know, so I can't be like, oh, my God, did you actually do this?
And then it turns out to be some champagne or something like that, right?
So it's like a mini bottle of champagne, you know?
And bro, I remember like I looked at the gift when I first saw the champagne, the flower, and then I went into the room like, ah, he hit something in my room.
Like, I thought that was going to be a little bit of a drink.
He literally for the day to set it up.
He's a bad guy, right?
He's a bad guy.
I'm a bad guy.
Me?
Did you fly back?
Yeah.
Right after?
Yes.
You flew to it.
You can't ship him.
He did that for Delta points.
Of course, he did it for Delta points.
Like, we don't know this.
I could have just gone to Atlanta and gone home about this guy.
Are you flying up?
Diamond.
He got him.
I can gift you status.
He got you hated.
Yeah, you got you stats.
He got himself status for your wedding.
But I wanted to set it up.
I didn't want to set it up.
So he made layovers on the way over.
Get the fucking segments he needed.
What a piece of shit.
Lenny Kravis is cool.
He's got a hot daughter.
I asked both these guys for help with your gift, and they gave me nothing.
Useless.
He gave me a pretty good idea, actually.
But we'll use it.
Yeah, yeah.
I was almost upset at Akash.
Akaj came to me.
He was like, listen, I'm thinking about getting your girl knives for your wedding.
And I'm just like, I know this motherfucker not going to get my girl some shit.
I know that this motherfucker is not going to get girl in the gifts.
You say what?
You're like, I don't know.
Let me say this shit.
Y'all don't know me already.
Like, y'all don't know me in this podcast already.
I just be saying shit and flippity flopping on it.
You know what I mean?
We're moving back to Miami, too.
Hey, look.
Hey, hey, thank God, bro.
Yeah, I went on one fucking boat and it was quite convincing down there.
You're welcome.
Hey, that's a gift to me, Doug.
That's a gift to me.
But yeah, Rogan came through.
He gives it the box, and I grab the box.
And then before I can take it away from him, he's holding on to it.
He goes, I don't know your wife.
This is for you.
Fire.
And I was like, that's what the fuck I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
Fire.
Do you know what I mean?
Why you gonna give us some shit we could share?
You know what I mean?
And then we went down.
But it's a Rolex.
You can't share it, actually.
No, I actually looked into it.
You can't adjust it that much to share it, which makes it even better.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, because we did share that sub.
That's yours now, babe.
That's what I said.
That's yours.
That shit is fire.
That shit is absolutely fire.
I mean, it would be nice if it was the fucking Lenny Kravitz edition or something.
Maybe if he splurged and got me the fucking Lenny Kravitz Daytona, that'd be pretty fucking nice.
Who got you the best gift in this room?
He made an investment for me, also.
Yeah.
Which is good.
We'll see if that pans out to something.
You guys gave me cash.
Rest of y'all ain't give me shit.
I wrote a card.
Did you?
Probably in a recycling bin somewhere.
My mom gave me a card, no pictures.
See what I mean?
Didn't even give me the disposable camera pictures.
Yo, this is fucking beautiful, though, Miles.
Thank you so much for giving me more grainy pictures than exists on our phone, bro.
Oh, this is actually really beautiful.
Thank you.
Oh, this is really sweet.
I'm going to look through all those and like have them.
Beautiful Grainy Pictures00:12:06
But in all seriousness, what an awesome fucking day a wedding is.
I did not understand it until I had one.
And I feel like a complete narcissist in saying that.
But like.
No, you don't get it.
Yeah.
You don't get it.
Because it's not even just all the attention.
It's all the people you love and she loves in one place together.
And you're all just loving each other.
Yeah.
It's fucking, it's incredible, man.
Yeah.
It is the best day of your life until you have kids, I assume.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
100%.
Like, it was crazy, dude.
Like, yeah.
And everything that you guys said about it came true.
And I tried to do the things that you guys advised.
Like, I remember Mark said something.
He's like, yo, just like take a moment to have with your girl.
And I don't know if it was you that said this or that, or you said this.
They're like, when you're up there doing the vows, look out.
Was it you that said that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I made sure that I did that.
And it's really cool because it's all the people that you love in your life, right?
You're looking at them.
Notice you are behind me.
All the people that you love in your life, you're looking at them without the person that you hate the most because he just fucking sat there sucking up oxygen for no fucking reason.
Are you going to get him a gift?
Are you going to?
Bro, I regret every guy.
I regret this.
Every guy.
Unbelievable, this guy.
Unbelievable.
Hello and welcome to Flagrant 2.
That was his biggest banger, dog.
No, it wasn't.
That was his banger.
That was his banger, right?
No, no.
Did you have other shit?
I had other bangers.
Did I have other bangers?
You had some bangers, dude.
Can Akash talk about me right now?
You're a great 10.
I'll tell you.
Nah, he did great.
Dove did it.
He did a great job.
No, he did awesome.
He did it.
It was really well done.
Andrew's vows.
Holy shit.
Wow.
Unbelievable.
And I see you do comedy at an incredibly high level.
I have never been more impressed with you than that moment.
Well, I'll take that.
He got taking away his bride's shine on her most important day.
That's what he did.
Guys, there can only be one star.
My man is a tough follow.
He only me one star.
He went first.
She buried the headliner.
She had the headliner.
She told me.
She's like, I want you to go first.
I was like, okay.
Get the shovel.
Not to get married.
No, no.
I honestly, those were hard.
Did you guys feel this way?
Like, it was very hard to write.
Did you guys?
I know that.
We don't got a writer.
But did you guys do something like for each other or anything like that?
Yeah.
Like, we had to do like notes before we gave them to each other at dinner.
I remember you telling me that.
Yeah.
And was that difficult for you to sum up your entire love and relationship?
Yeah, I didn't try to.
I was like, there's too much to say.
So here's just kind of how I feel right now.
But just know that I'm not going to try to summarize.
It's overwhelming.
I'm just not going to be able to do that.
You tap out.
How can you?
Bro, and I went through the same feeling.
Like leading up to it, I mean, I was up to like three in the morning the fucking night before, like with a month out.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to be able to write some vows.
And my girl had written hers like way before.
And she was like sharing them with like, I think Dove and some other people.
And they were like, yo, bro, you got to come correct.
And the last thing I want is on our wedding day, people to think that I don't love my girl when she's professing all this love to me.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, there's a lot of weight on the vows.
Like, if you come with some trash vows, it's like, what are you doing here?
I am telling you how much I love you.
And other people are watching it.
So if I come with trash shit, not only are you going to be hurt, you're going to be more hurt because other people are going to be like, that shit was mid.
Yeah.
This guy talks for a living, and that's what he came with.
And yeah, and then there's also the pressure as you're a comedian.
Like everybody thinks you're going to try to be funny.
And the last thing I wanted to do was be funny.
I just was like, let me just, yeah, tell her how I feel.
And then, yeah, like, tell, I don't know.
It's weird.
Like, I really wanted to tell like my parents.
It was beautiful.
Yeah.
I just thought about what you said to your dad.
I almost teared up just now.
Yeah.
It was fucking unbelievable.
Everybody was crying.
I know Mark was crying.
I was crying.
My wife was crying.
Alex retarded.
He probably went crying.
I got video of you and Alex Hare.
You know, Alex Hare, the guy with the pair.
He's a fucking man.
And I got video of both of you guys dabbing a tear at the same time.
It was really a grown man in it.
Like, it's a little cold out.
That was a lot of sin.
It was sand.
It was close to the beach.
I'm very serious.
I have it on tape.
And at your funeral, because I'm going to outlive you, I'm going to play that for everybody so they see who you really are.
Like the kind of guy you really are.
Do you remember the last person that told me to go first, Dakosh?
I don't know what we're going for right now.
My wife.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What I'm trying to say is, if you tell me I'm going before you, we're going to have to switch things up.
You're going to have a spectacular death?
No, I'm going to.
Fuck.
God damn, I'll fuck that up, man.
Jesus Christ.
I was trying to say you're making me compete.
So now I'm not going to die before you.
But I just buried myself even deeper.
God, man, I think I lost it.
This married life, bro.
You were in a blazer all of a sudden.
Son, I'm grown.
I'm fucking grown.
You grown?
I'm grown.
I mean, I already did this joke when I first came in, but I'm grown.
I know.
He's a grown-up comedian, you know, dressing like Mark Grow.
He's a lot of comedians on TV.
He just said.
That's the one.
That's the one that went before you.
That guy went before you for sure.
Bro, I told y'all I'm on my fake honeymoon because my girl got COVID and we had to meet Dev in Miami instead.
You took a honeymoon?
Say what?
Wow.
I know.
The audacity.
The audacity, dude.
Yeah.
The audacity.
Mark's been saving that.
You're so hard.
One year ago.
Seven days.
He took his honeymoon.
You were living?
Huh?
Why do you need a honeymoon in the middle of a fucking pandemic?
And I didn't get a gift.
Yeah, you did.
What was it?
I paid you the week you took off.
But I worked that week.
No, you didn't.
When did I come back?
Sunday?
I came back Wednesday.
You did.
You get him a fucking wow.
I paid him.
No, when did you really come home?
When did you really come?
You came back Wednesday.
No.
I left Thursday.
Wedding Saturday.
So you know, he knows.
Hold on.
This is good.
This is good.
I think we're here.
I think we're here.
This is good.
This is good.
I said this to you earlier, but it's so funny.
You'll see Andrew in real time realize he's a piece of shit.
You'll tell him what he did.
You'll be like, no, there's no way I'm capable of that.
Do you want me to tell you how I remember the events first, or should we have Mark say what really happened?
No, you should go first.
This is the way I looked at it because I was about to ball out on Mark's wedding.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember telling you.
I was excited too.
I was like, I'm going to fucking make it rain on this little motherfucker.
I'm excited for him to get married and he's doing all this good stuff.
And then he just did.
He was like, yeah, I'm going to be in on Monday.
And I was like, all right.
And he goes, and he just doesn't show up Monday.
No, no, on the flight or something like that.
Yeah, he texts me Sunday, asked him on the flight.
I remember saying to him, I was like, yo, you want to split for Mark's gift?
Like, let's go half.
Let's get him something nice.
He was like, nah, I want to get him something.
My woman knows from me.
And it's like too much to take out of like an ATM.
It's like, it's going to be like, it's a whole thing.
I don't want to travel with that much money.
Like, I got it.
I was like, God damn, what are you going to do?
Yeah.
Well, it's going to do some damage.
And then you texted me on the flight home as we're about to start work on this Netflix thing that you're the co-fucking creator of, right?
That you're the co-creator of that you didn't tell your co-creator that you weren't going to show up for.
So on Sunday night.
And then I was like, it ain't called Gagnon saved.
America.
Don't you forget it.
No.
And then I, and then he just said, yo, I'm actually going to go like hang out in a house or something.
I'm going to do like a honeymoon, like kind of mini moon or something like that.
And then I was like, what the fuck?
What did I really say?
I said, why don't you just tell me?
Yeah.
So I was upset.
But in my mind, you didn't come in the whole week until the next week.
That's not what happened?
No.
You came with me?
It was Monday, Tuesday that we flew back Wednesday.
But you left earlier the week before.
Thursday the week before.
So Thursday to Wednesday, one week.
Bang.
But also, that was when we started Netflix.
What do you mean?
So technically, I was paid by Netflix for that week.
And me.
Go, Mark.
Go!
I know.
No.
I know.
Oh, my God.
I feel like a piece of shit.
I feel R. Dev, how do you feel right now?
Was that really, though?
Was it really when you started?
Yeah, that was the first time.
You can see the hurt on the hurt.
You see the hurt in Mark right now, right?
Why did you say this?
I didn't say you zoom in on his face again.
So you can see true pain in his eyes.
Why didn't you tell me this?
He's been holding on to this.
Hey, hey, we've been told.
But I've been telling you forever.
I said, I'm just going to pay you for that week.
I think we need to have another discussion in private.
All of us there are grievances.
Oh, do we?
I don't know.
Now I feel so bad.
But he didn't know.
He never had a wedding before, so he didn't know what it meant.
Now he does.
Now I know what it meant.
But I still feel fine with what you got.
I feel fine with what you got, given your information that you shared with me.
But now that I know that Netflix was paying you, I don't feel good.
So I will pay you what I agreed to pay you for you being an irresponsible scumbag.
I was an irresponsible scumbag.
That's from the heart, isn't it?
Hey, you know what?
Tell him you don't even want that gift.
There's no emotion in it.
There's no love behind it.
Already, by the way, you took a mini moon, right?
That's a sacrifice from a honeymoon.
Yeah.
That's a little guy.
Yo, a mini moon is a sacrifice.
Don't do this.
Hey, we're just getting somewhere.
We're just healing.
He's already done somebody.
Our relationship is just healing.
Remember when we saved Dub from Hollywood?
Remember when we did that with that Netflix special?
Do you remember that?
Do you remember that?
Hey, who's Branch?
You should be writing Pet Noswalt's IG posts right now.
Yo, what a fucking loser Paul Noswald is.
What an abject fucking loser this guy is, right?
Are we moving off of what a piece of shit I am?
Talk about somebody else's piece.
Talking about comics at a piece of shit.
Bro, I didn't put that together, Mark.
You should have brought that up to me.
I didn't put that together.
Oh, my God.
I got to look at the amount of weeks.
That's okay.
Did you look at it?
Yeah.
It's 100%.
What was the week of your wedding?
September 5th.
He's hurt right now, dude.
Nah, we're going to get to the bottom of this.
September what?
5th.
Get to the bottom of his pain.
No, you're off.
You're off.
You're off by two weeks, but it was close.
I thought September 1st was when we started.
No, we finished.
It was 10 weeks, is what we were paid by Netflix for.
And we went until the 14th or something like that of December.
So I paid you for those two.
You feel good about yourself right now?
So much better.
And fuck you.
For right after my wedding, making me feel bad.
How dare you right after my wedding make me feel bad?
Right after your wedding.
It's been two weeks.
What are you, a bitch's birthday?
Can I have a burden?
I gotta give it to somebody.
I gotta give it to somebody, bro.
I thought you got me knives for my fucking wedding.
I'm in my wedding going like that.
That was a great gift.
Akash was all before the podcast trying to get into my count.
And I was like, I really thought that you felt so bad that I wasn't making any money on this crypto stuff that you were just going to start forcing me into making money on crypto.
And I was like, this is really sweet.
I know.
And now that I see how much you can make, I'm like, all in.
What a fucking loser to criticize crypto.
Like, who would do that?
NFTs aren't gay.
They are not gay.
They're the straightest.
Yeah, they really are.
Let's fuck bitches, dog.
They do.
Yeah.
Touring Canada Next00:03:40
But yeah, yeah.
So what a piece of shit trying to make me feel bad.
Yeah, my bad, dude.
I'm a piece of shit.
Son, that is fucked up.
We went until what day?
The 14th, right?
Oh, man.
Yeah, it was a fucking.
I don't want you to be right.
I am right.
Or the 12th or something like that.
I did deliver by a certain one.
I didn't really start at Netflix yet, but I don't know if they were paying you or not.
It was for 10 weeks.
So anything outside of that, I had to pay.
So you got your fucking gift.
And you were about to double up on me.
What do you mean?
He gave you paid time off on.
He acted like a normal employer.
That is his gift to you.
Listen, I ain't shit.
I know that.
But just tell me ahead of time.
This is about principles.
Tangle, you gave me a bigger gift then.
Hey, he's up.
He's up, bro.
He's up, dog.
Only because I told him what I was going to splurge.
He didn't tell me how much.
I was like, yo, it's got to be big.
I'm going to be honest.
He was doing so much.
I was like, I don't do as much as I was going.
I ended up going to pay him so fucking much.
How do I end up being the fucking asshole every time?
That's what we always want to know.
Is it me?
Guys, if you got a blazer, is it me?
Yeah, it's a blazer shower.
Blazer Schultz.
He wore that Blazer double date, which he invited himself on.

Now let's get back to the show.
Yo, can I tell you something?
You invited yourself to his honeymoon, man.
No, no, opposite, my friend.
Yo.
What do you mean?
Okay.
No, we said we were going to Miami before you.
Stop it.
We did.
No, he's trying to make it for that Miami trip he didn't get to take a month ago.
Which one is that?
Oh, when the guy take off work?
He lost the love of his life.
When a guy tried to take off work?
Let's go because if you are Jewish, I support you.
All right.
Hey, fuck him.
Fuck this guy, bro.
You're going to have more Jewish people.
You want to know something good?
No, I don't care.
Now I'm fucking going balls to the wall.
You want to know some good shit?
We went on a little double date.
My wife, and then Dove's Christian.
And we need a camera that can swim so you can see what they, yo, Dove, they want to know some real shit.
This poor guy.
This girl has Dove over.
Dove gets to fuck her and then has to leave.
That's the rule.
Wow.
Wait.
Yeah.
Explain.
Explain more.
I don't get it.
I don't know.
I thought I was going to get more of a reaction.
Because that sounds like a gift.
Oh, that's right.
We're men.
We don't want to cuddle.
Damn, bro.
Fuck.
Oh, no, the way that it was.
The way it was portrayed that night when we were with the women was that a dove was getting the shitty end of the stick.
Yeah, but you got to make him think you want to hang out.
Oh, God.
You're a genius.
Yeah.
This guy's really a fucking genius.
Oh, my God.
Maybe depriving Dove of girl talk hurts him, but for most men, it's like, yeah, that's wonderful.
Yeah.
That's the dream.
You're having the dream.
Oh, Jesus.
He fucking did it again.
All right.
Should we talk about Ratatouille or what?
So I think that was Derek Poston's comment on his apology post.
He said, Come on, Ratatouille.
Some shit like that.
I need to find it.
But yeah, talk, set it up.
So Patton Oswald is this comedian.
He was very popular, I think, in like the maybe 90s, 2000s.
He's still really popular with his demo.
Is he?
Yeah.
Yeah, and he'd be working all the time.
I didn't know that he was just popular.
You know, TJ used to represent him.
Really?
Yeah, for 17 years, and then he left because fucking CAA was hogging him down.
Oh, shit.
So it's a real loyal guy.
Yeah, Super loyal guy.
You know, you take a picture with one of your best friends and comedian, and then shit on him in the next post with like a set up picture.
The most hilarious thing is the next picture.
If you can go to it.
So first you post a picture saying, with Dave Chappelle saying, I got to perform with one of my best friends or one of my oldest friends in comedy.
Yeah.
Watching him perform in an arena.
It's like a private one-on-one conversation, which is true.
Yes, it's true.
Dave is so fucking incredible at making a small crowd feel a big crowd feel small.
Yeah.
And then I guess he got a lot of comments.
And then he was deleting all the comments on the original post.
Yeah.
And then do I just read the whole thing that he put so then he posts another post and he has someone stage a picture of him working on his apology or something, or maybe he's working on his set.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah.
I mean, he's clearly in a green room and he's like, got his hand over his chin.
He's like, is this pensive enough?
Do I look thoughtful enough in this situation?
Like, I'm sure they took this picture like 10 fucking times before they decided to post it, which is the most loser shit ever, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he posts a fucking picture and then does this long caption.
And Mark, you can read the caption, but essentially apologizing for taking a picture with Dave Chappelle to his fans that are upset by it.
And then I think balances it quite well.
Yeah.
Where basically says, like, this is a friend of mine.
I'm not just going to like stop being a friend of him because we disagree on something and I'm an ally, et cetera.
And I thought that part was good.
That part was good.
And he gave Dave, he's like, I don't think, I don't agree with Dave, but I don't think he's done learning.
And I feel guilty because I've cut off friends in the past I didn't agree with.
And I think I might have made them more angry and hateful and closed-minded.
Yes.
Which is a valid ass point.
Thought it was actually really this part.
People were upset about it, and I didn't think you should because I think this is what we want to give everybody.
We want to give everybody the, let's say, the ability to change.
That's actual open-mindedness.
Yes, 100%.
What is shocking is that he felt like people cared that much about how Patton Oswald felt about the world.
Like, I didn't know that there are human beings out there that are going, well, what does Patton Oswald think about this?
Like, the guy from Mike and Molly?
What does the guy from Mike and Molly think about this?
Like, how does he feel about trans-exclusionary radical feminism?
What does Mike and Molly's side character?
Or is it Mike and Molly or is it?
Is it queen of Quick?
Whatever.
King and Queen.
Fat People sitcom.
What does Fat People sitcom guy think about radical feminism?
And what?
Oh my God.
If he doesn't post something soon about the fact that he was at a sold-out show, arena show with Dave Chappelle.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'll be able to support him.
God forbid.
Like the level of fucking narcissism.
And don't get me wrong.
To be in this business, I get it.
We all are narcissists.
100%.
I named a fucking Netflix special, Schultz Saves America.
Right?
There's narcissism out there, right?
And paid everybody there really well.
Everybody got paid really well what they deserved.
Okay.
A lot of silence from the rest of the room.
So, but to feel like you need to address something that is a scandal only on your own Instagram page.
Like the world is not picking this up.
Nobody gives a flying fuck.
You have to delete 10 comments and all of a sudden you're like, oh no, this is big news.
That level of narcissism, like that inability to see outside the world, that's some fucking weirdo shit, man.
That's that weirdo Hollywood shit.
You know what?
That I saw this picture.
And again, I like his general idea, his thought.
Like, I'm not going to abandon my friend, even if I disagree with it.
Which is good.
Yeah.
But I saw this and I was like, dude, I'm so thankful I'm not a part of that Hollywood world.
Because I don't, it's either narcissism or these fucking Hollywood guys aren't going to give me a job because I have a picture with a guy who's seen as anti-LGBT.
And you see all the people in the comments, like the other Hollywood people can't get a job no more.
Like Sharon Stone is in the comments.
Like, I want to talk to him about this, but I guess he thinks I'm heckling or something like that.
And it's just like, it's all these people.
The weird thing about Patton is, I guess Patton has a fan base.
Yeah, he has his own thing.
Niche fan base.
So you would think that he doesn't have to like suckle off the teeth of the industry like a Sharon Stone does.
Like Sharon Stone exists off of the generosity of the industry.
Like if directors like her, she gets to be in movies.
If they don't, she doesn't.
But it's not like Sharon Stone is in the movie and we're like, I got to drop everything and I got to go see this.
Like when The Rock is in a movie, motherfuckers show up.
Plain and simple.
Yeah.
Like the industry needs The Rock.
I'm watching.
He's in a Netflix movie.
It's the biggest Netflix movie of all time.
Boom.
Same with Kev.
The industry needs Kev.
Kev don't need the industry.
Yep.
And I didn't know where Patton sat in that, but now you're telling me that he has his core fan base.
So he doesn't need the industry.
He doesn't need their acceptance.
But maybe there's something in him that like he just needs them to go, hey, I like you.
You're a good person.
I think he's doing it to preserve his fan base.
Yeah.
That thing has cultivated the fan base.
His fan base is probably pretty left center.
And they're like kind of wokey, kind of cucky.
And so he is getting all these comments of people DMing him and being like, yo, you're a piece of shit.
I'm never coming to a show.
I'm never buying another ticket.
Blah, blah, blah.
And if his whole fanbase does that, then that's where you're really fucked.
Because he's doing tickets on the road.
Like, it looks like he's doing big venues.
He's doing theaters.
And a manager.
Yeah, stuff he did.
He's a big theater guy.
Stuff he posts on Instagram is to serve his fan base.
So this is the first time he's getting a bunch of negative shit on a post.
So he's going that shit crazy and he's like, oh, I need to go extra to resist.
My only issue is the picture.
That's what I think.
If he has preservation, yeah.
So yeah, go go, sorry.
I was just sorry.
No, I'm cutting you up.
It was just the note.
I wouldn't have minded.
You know, people just fucking, hey, here's my note.
This is too much.
Writing the note.
The hand over the mouth.
Like, you know, he did one take where he didn't have his hand over his mouth and he's like, no, it doesn't look like I'm like toiling for these ideas.
Let me try one more.
Like, oh, that's really good right there.
That inauthenticity, that's what it is.
Like, why would anybody even take that picture?
Yeah.
Like, taking the picture with Chappelle and then showing yourself on tour, like, even that, that's kind of cool.
Yeah.
And then showing yourself performing for other people.
Yeah, that's awesome.
You get to be with the fucking greatest comic in the world and you get to perform in an arena.
Great, cool.
Yeah.
Some people are going to be upset at because they don't like Chappelle.
Right.
But to really start to think, oh my God, I'll never be able to tour again of like these seven people who might not even be my fucking fans.
They're just Chappelle haters and they're going to comment on anything that Chappelle is involved in.
Yeah.
And hate on anything that Chappelle's involved in, regardless of who they're with.
Nah, bro.
Funny part I found was that he's doing handwriting, but then this is an IG post that he has to rewrite.
It's a retitle.
I was thinking maybe it was like, you know, some of this probably photographer back there taking candids, and maybe he had one left over.
I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and be like, maybe he's like, ah, this is a picture that kind of works, whatever.
It's just, let's just throw it up there, but then just do the note.
Yeah, but don't you have like a level of self-awareness as a comedian where like this is wildly corny?
Like as a comedian, you would make fun of this.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I was never a big Patton Oswald fan, but I was asking a few comics about it.
And I was, was he like good back in the day?
And they're like, no, he was like really funny.
That was the perception that I got from guys that I respect.
Yeah, he's a comics comic guy.
They have a special him, Sarah Silverman, a couple other people called the Comedians of Comedy.
They're like the comics comic.
But he got big and he got industry love.
The motherfucker was Ratatouille.
Like, that's paper.
Yeah.
So, in his mind, even if this is probably to serve his fan base, but also Hollywood broke him the fuck off.
He's huge in the voiceover space.
Ah, you know, he's consistently working like Agents of the Shield, like movies.
He's never thinking he was in it.
Oh, yeah.
And especially again.
So that's all this is.
This is how do I keep on getting the roles in Hollywood?
Preservation.
Oh, okay.
I'm just surprised he didn't see the backlash coming when he posted the picture.
He was too caught up in the moment, maybe.
I guess.
Like, but I know, like, if you are in that and you understand where you sit in the industry and who your audience is, I don't know why you would go out of your way to post a picture with someone that is serious.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Especially after you shit all over Shane Gillis.
Because that's the thing.
He was like shitting all over Shane when Shane was going through this thing.
And it's funny, it's like, and Shane reached out to him to like, hey, can we just talk about it?
And then apparently his reaction was like, he needs to do a lot of work before we can even talk.
And then all of a sudden.
Oh, fuck you, dog.
Yeah, yeah.
It's super corny when the comics just shit on comics.
Fuck you.
But he's shorter than me.
Where do you get off talking to Shane like that?
Fam, that's the thing that I don't understand.
Like when you see this, like when you see especially a comic shit on each other, it's like there's only a certain amount of comedy clubs.
Like we're going to bump into each other.
Like it's going to happen.
And I'm not saying that there's going to be anything violent about this, but like you're going to have an awkward confrontation where you're going to have to at least explain the reason why you were shitting on a fellow comic, right?
And here we are shitting on a fellow comic.
And I have no problems.
And I don't think any of you guys have any problems having this conversation with Pat and Oswald.
I think Pat, and judging by what happened when Shane reached out to him, does have a problem having that conversation.
Yes.
So if you're just going to dump all over a comic who's going through some shit, right?
Because it gives you social media clout.
That's really what it does.
It's like your community starts to go, ooh, this is awesome.
You're not dumping on every single person that's ever said something offensive.
You're not dumping on the random person.
Like there's tons of people on the internet every single day that say offensive shit.
Yeah.
Right.
Why not dump on them?
Oh, because you can't get clout.
Yeah.
Because you can't get past on the back.
Because Sharon Stone is not going to comment on your shit going, oh my God, how amazing are you?
As a comic, if you're not willing to have an unpopular opinion, that bothers me.
I don't know that you're not a comic or whatever, but it's whack.
Like, you got to be willing to stand in an unpopular opinion.
And if you're going to take the PC choice on everything, and I don't need to talk to him, and then this is good, but don't not talk to a comic who you think offended you.
And you're like, hey, comic reaches out.
Hey, can we have a conversation?
You say, fuck you.
That's so whack to me.
Well, it's just because you don't want to handle the tough combo.
And I was talking to Shane about it, and he was like, Dude, I had to have a lot of those combos.
Like, I had like when I was when I was like younger in fucking comedy and I was just like bitter and upset and just talking shit about everybody and then eventually got some success.
I had to meet those people that I talked shit about.
And it was tough.
Yeah.
But I would fucking have them.
Yeah.
And it's important to have them.
Yeah.
You can't go around talking all this shit.
And then the second you meet somebody, it's like all peaches and cream.
Like, let's have fun.
Let's be happy.
I remember you said that about Charlemagne and it stuck with me, which is like that shit was fire.
I had, yeah, you say better than me.
No, he was just like, when Charlemagne meets people that he talks shit about, he doesn't like shake their hand.
Yeah.
Not in a rude way.
He goes, I can't act like I haven't talked shit about you.
Yeah.
So he was just like, he was like, they reach out and be like, nah, bro, I forget exactly how he worded it.
It wasn't disrespectful, but it was like, I would be phony if I'm going to be all like sweet and cordial with you, knowing what I've said.
And because I would ask him advice about that shit, I'd be like, bro, what do you do when you like meet these people?
It's a small world.
And he's like, you have to keep it 100.
Yeah.
Unless you didn't mean what you said.
And if you didn't mean what you said, you're just shitting all over that man for no reason.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And especially when you say it publicly.
Thank God I wasn't.
I mean, I guess I was probably more bitter because I wasn't in any public eye at all.
But the shit when I was bitter and angry and the hate I was spewing, it's like, thank God I grew out of that before I got some level of success.
Yes.
That's from with Patton's like apology thing with him saying, like, I wonder how many people I pushed away or like that have dug their heels into their position.
Great point by me cutting them off.
We should all take that in.
And that's where I'm hoping like maybe someone like Shane that he cut off or was talking shit about, he looks back and goes, oh, yeah, I shouldn't have done that.
Maybe I should have reached out to him.
That's fair.
He does kind of acknowledge him.
So I'm hoping, like, in the way that he's going to hope that Dave changes his point of view, I'm hoping that Patton changes his point of view.
Ooh, that's a good perspective.
And it looked like from that second piece, people are criticizing him for kind of like throwing Dave under the bus in the second piece.
I actually think he did.
Yeah, I don't think he did.
Like, I do believe he has those beliefs, meaning like I think he's supportive of LGBT and he's an ally.
And I believe that that's real.
I don't think he's necessarily putting that on, but I also believe he really fucking mires Dave Chappelle and thinks he's awesome at something that he loves, which is stand-up.
And it's hard when you love something so much and you see somebody that you think is so good at it to not forgive their shortcomings.
It's almost like with your grandparents.
It's like you love them so much.
And I never had grandparents, but like I imagine you love them so much that you forgive that they might have some like bigoted views or some kind of shit.
Right.
I think you just change the like where the butt goes in your perception of them.
Like they're good, but they believe some fucked up things.
Whereas if there's some random person on the internet, like they're fucked up, but they might do something good every now and again.
Dave Chappelle Allyship00:07:56
Yeah, You give them that grace first.
Yeah, exactly.
And he knows Dave and he's known him for a long time.
He's like, oh, Dave's a good guy and he's smart and he's like intelligent.
And he just happens to be wrong on this issue.
Which he also says in the note.
I don't think he's done thinking, evolving, seeking.
He's a guy that does that.
So he gives him credit as being a thoughtful guy.
I think he gives Dave his flowers.
And he's like, look, I don't agree with him, but I'm not cutting him off for that.
So in conclusion, you have the right perspective because we're not going to talk about Ratatouille for this fucking long.
You have the right perspective.
You did it in an incredibly corny way.
And hopefully he continues to grow and he doesn't shit on comics and especially young ones who are going through a lot of turmoil in their career just for social media clout.
I want Shane to reach back out and see how that's taken now.
You may have that combo now, buddy.
Ooh, that's a good idea.
Should we do it on Flagrant 2?
Talking about social media clown.
What else, my boys?
What else?
What else?
Oh, I know something while we're talking about comedy that's very important to bring up right now.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second.
I just want to point out something.
I got my hair.
I got my hair.
This is very important.
I have my hair.
If any time in your life, you've said, you know what, Andrew kind of looks good for his age, it's because I have my hair.
That's the one qualifying factor.
Fellas, if you have your hair, you can look good for your age.
You can't look good for your age at bald unless you're black.
But we're not talking about that.
The point is, if you have your hair, you can look good for your age.
Fellas, keep your hair.
And right now, it's a choice.
And you know how you're going to keep your hair.
You're going to keep your hair at keeps.
Okay.
Simple as that.
I've been on for over a decade.
Your boy should be bald, but keeps have my back and it's going to have your back as well.
And you know what?
If you sign up right now at keeps.com, that's K-E-E-P-S.com/slash flagrant, you're going to receive your first month of treatment for free.
That's K-E-E-P-S.com slash flagrant to get your first month of keeps for free.
Remember, two out of three men will experience some form of hair loss by the time they're 35.
More than 50 million men in the U.S. are from male palette baldness, and there are only two FDA-approved medications that you can prevent your hair loss with.
And Keeps offers them.
So go there, get them.
Keep your hair.
Keep looking beautiful.
Now let's get back to the show.
In February, the 2nd of February, we got a big comedy special drop in on these YouTube streets.
Hell yeah.
Bring back a poo.
Let's go.
Akash Singh.
Welcome to my shop.
Everybody, right now, make sure that you go subscribe to Akash Singh Comedy on YouTube so that you will be there for when the special drops.
And we're going to blow that motherfucker up.
Let's do it.
This is a home team.
We're all watching it.
You dropped a great trailer.
Thank you.
It was absolutely awesome.
You gave me some great fucking advice.
You guys had a great job.
You and Kevin Marcus put up some great shit and it was just awesome.
People really liked it or what?
How did it feel?
People really liked it.
I got a lot of positive feedback from South Asians, which was dope.
Yeah.
People were like, yo, we need this.
This is for the culture.
Like, dope shit that was being said.
I'm so excited about it.
I'm really proud of it.
I feel like I'm dropping it at the right time.
And like, I'm just super excited.
And this year, let's go.
Good.
2022.
Let's go.
Does it feel?
Are you nervous at all?
I'm nervous because there's still, I feel like I have a good foundation, but now you got to elevate.
You always got to elevate.
And that's a word that you use a lot.
But like everything now, it's about taking this foundation and elevating in the next month.
So we got a month.
We got to do, you know, promo and all that.
It's just like constant shit to do.
Yeah.
But I'm really excited to drop it.
True.
Can we watch the trailer real quick?
Yeah, would love that.
All right, guys, we're going to watch the trailer.
It's a minute long.
We're watching it.
Press play whenever you want, Mark.
Because of a poo I got made fun of in my childhood.
Welcome to childhood, bitch.
I ain't like these AC artists and you fucking know that.
I listen to Lambert, then I mix it with that Kodak.
Little nine to five, rather die before I go back.
I am top five, number two, I'm not below that.
People always say, name one thing a white male can't have.
Okay, an opinion.
Native Americans are basically human Bitcoin.
Like, I believe they exist.
And I never got my hands on one of them motherfucking.
I am number one and fuck whoever don't acknowledge it.
I will say, the first few weeks, I just thought me too was all of us talking about stuff we would also do to be in a movie.
You were such a big.
Thank you, dude.
Yeah.
I'm excited, it is.
Yeah, yeah, I'm excited.
And it's interesting because it's like, you've put out so much content on the internet.
Yeah.
So I'm curious.
I'm curious, like, yeah, like where your mind is.
This is my first piece.
First of all, shouts to Fuck Day, who's a big fan of the podcast for the song in the background.
I swear I heard that song over a year ago and I was like, that's the title track for my first special.
We were in quarantine, so I couldn't film, but I was like, when I drop it, that's the fucking track.
That's the one.
That's fire.
But yeah, I felt like I want to drop this piece first for my first special because it's like, I used to complain about this to you that people would tell me, like, oh, Akash, you act black.
You don't act Indian.
And I'd always be like, but how do I act Indian?
Yeah, yeah.
And so I realize it's actually a cool opportunity for us to figure out our identity.
Like this generation gets to decide what it is.
And I saw a lot of stuff that was like kind of co-opting like black people's struggle that they actually had and they actually have been fucked over systemically and brown people are like, oh yeah, but no, a poo offends me or you mispronouncing my name offends me or all this other shit.
And it's like, yo, that's not how our parents raised us, dude.
Our parents raised us to come over here and fucking dominate and we're capable of that.
And we like.
We are killing it, but we got to own that and that I want to be our identity.
So I'm not saying I'm going to change it, but I'm going to do whatever I can to fight against this kind of like victim mentality that does not apply to us, I don't think.
Right.
You're saying that like your circumstances are different than the black experience in America.
100%.
And that's my eyes have been open to that for sure.
But like when we talk about white privilege, it's like, cool, that might exist, but you also are overlooking how privileged you are relative to your people to be in America.
Like we're the most privileged in our lives.
Our parents would never ever complain.
Other Dacies, you're saying they're like India, Pakistani.
Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, people back home.
They don't, they would kill, literally kill somebody to be where we are.
So when we talk about white privilege, it's like, man, you got to be thankful for our privilege and take that and build something beautiful.
I really look at our parents like they fucking sacrificed everything to come here.
Language they didn't know, like they did it.
And we're going to now complain?
No, let's be thankful and let's build something fucking great.
Right, right.
And it is interesting about like co-opting the struggle of the people that you admire or like the place that you're, that you think that you could, you should reside within America.
Right.
Like it's almost like you see behavior of people that you want to be like and then you replicate that behavior and look for those things within your culture.
And I don't think that this is something that's specific to just Indians.
I think that we all kind of do it.
There is a way to act white in America, whether it's good or not.
And there's a way to act quote unquote black in America.
You have like, if I'm black, I like hip-hop.
I can dress this way.
I'm this culture.
It's all, it's good.
It's sick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's not necessarily good or bad, but for the rest of us, we kind of just got to pick a side.
And then when you pick that side, you're going to pick all the things that go with that side.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
But to me, it's like, I want to be able to, let's figure out our identity.
This is the generation that gets to do that.
And that's fucking dope.
But we got to make sure we set our kids and grandkids on the right path.
So this is like an important, and the jokes aren't all about being Indian, but the theme is just like privilege is not, we are privileged.
Right.
And so the jokes are, you know, there's one joke about a poo, obviously, but like overall, the bits are just about everybody and this, this thing or that thing, society, whatever.
But like, this is, at the end of the day, a tone is, I want to set for my people or help them establish this identity.
Picking Your Side00:02:03
Yeah.
And I'm really fucking excited about it and I'm proud of it.
And like, I can't wait for it to drop.
I just, I just think it's so exciting to like drop a piece.
Yeah.
Like, and I'm so excited for you for that because, you know, when you're putting out clips or doing these things, right, they don't have the same gravity that like a special does because what you're saying is like, these are the most profound thoughts that I've had up to this point in my career or something like that.
And then like organizing them as one thing and also like having you have a little extra weight on it because you're carrying the perspective of a lot of people that look like you and you want to, you are a thought leader in that space.
So this is like, you want this perspective and you hope that this perspective is like shared by all these people that have this similar life as you.
And finally you get to be a voice for them.
I don't know.
It just seems so exciting.
The clips feel like clips.
The special to me feels special.
This feels like a special.
And I'm using that word, meaning it.
Like I feel like this is special and let's, I'm really excited to put it out.
And I owe so much to y'all, everybody, but I even thought about this.
There was a fucking episode where you and Alex had like an intervention with me where you were like, yo, dog, you're one of the nicest.
Like get out of your fucking head.
And I didn't feel that way then, but now I do.
Now it's like, let's go.
I'm ready for this.
This is my time.
Let's go.
Let's fucking go.
Oh, that's great.
So, February 2nd, make sure everybody goes and let's blow this fucking thing up, man.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Do you have specific goals with it for it?
I have goals of like numbers of subscribers I want to hit, numbers of not necessarily number of tickets I want to hit, but I want to go from certain venues to certain venues.
But mainly, my main goal is to just get this out to everybody, but my people.
I really want to see this.
I really want everybody to see it, but I really, really want my people to see it.
Yeah, So, I'm excited, and I feel like it has that potential.
And let's keep pumping it.
And thank you guys for everything.
Yeah, man.
Ah, this is so cool.
It is so cool.
All right, what else, guys?
What are we talking about?
Yo, while we were talking about like wedding stuff and comedy stuff, there were some comedians that were mad that they didn't get invited to the wedding.
Oh, yeah, that's that is.
You want to address that?
Setting Subscriber Goals00:05:08
I'm not mad they weren't.
I had a great time.
You know, I really had a great time.
I know that our dear friend Bobby Lee was a little bit perturbed that he was not invited to the wedding.
And we had, we had a, I thought, you know, I love Bobby.
I genuinely love him.
Right.
And, but we had a lot of, we had a good amount of Asians.
We had Akash, we had Akash's wife.
We had Benuyeda.
We had Benu Yeda's girl.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
You know, and it was, that was a, I thought that was a lot.
I think all the catering guys was half, too.
Well, we did have sushi, but I made sure he was white because we had so many Asians that were invited to the party, and I wanted there to be just an even balance at the party.
Yeah.
Right?
And then Tim Dylan was talking about also with Joe Rode.
But here's the thing.
The party is at this beautiful piece of real estate and has delicious food.
And I don't think Tim really understands those things.
So like he just doesn't understand.
You're all the guy who sold subprime mortgages?
Yeah, exactly.
Like if this was at like a Motel 6 that was renovated into like a hotel, maybe that he would appreciate it or like some diner food or something like that.
But clearly this guy doesn't understand fine cuisine and great real estate.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, so why would he even enjoy himself there?
It's just not for him.
Do you know?
Yeah.
Maybe if it was like done at like a crypto conference or something like that, then we would have him there.
We would be the efficient.
If it was in the metaverse, he would have been involved.
He'd be the guy and then we'd be the guys second to the guys.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
But no, I just didn't think that there'd be any fun there.
But besides that, yeah, there was a lot of people upset that they couldn't get there.
Katy Perry, quite furious.
Why wasn't Katy Perry invited?
It just wasn't right.
Yeah.
It just wasn't right.
I didn't think it was right for Katie.
The rock was quite furious.
Yeah, yeah.
Say again.
He was throwing back that terranum.
He was getting shit face drunk because he was so sad.
What did he say?
Why wasn't Neil Brennan invited?
Skin, mostly his skin is very translucent.
There's a lot of skin.
It's mostly outdoors.
You know what I mean?
Also, you know he got Omicron.
Like, you know that he's going to be contagious.
It's 100%.
I mean, I got Omicron from you guys this time.
Do you think that you got it?
Who got it first?
No way I had it.
I sent you a negative test.
Not everybody did that.
I don't even believe them tests, bro.
I sent a PCR, not a rap, but I sent a PCR official S.
Oh, PCR is pretty legit.
Yeah.
A PCR is pretty legit.
Because I knew I can't give this motherfucker COVID again.
Yeah, that would have been fucked up.
Yeah, yeah.
That would absolutely move me.
I was actually a little relieved I got it from y'all.
I was like, all right, cool.
Now it's even.
Yeah, very true.
Can I be honest with you?
And I'll say it on this podcast, we might cut this out.
I'm never taking a COVID test again.
Yeah.
We're going to cut that out.
I just want to let you guys know we might have cut this out or maybe there's bleeping going over my voice right now.
I'm never taking a COVID test again.
I have a cold from now on.
I'm done.
What if you got to travel to a place that requires a negative test?
I'm never taking.
Wait, what?
No, you just get vax.
They don't require a negative test.
No.
Oh, when you leave the country.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'll do it for that.
So you'll do it if you have to.
Yeah, let me take this back.
I'm not moving.
I'm not budging one bit on this.
I'm never taking a COVID test again unless I have to.
Unless I have to do something I want, and then I'll immediately take it.
But I'm not, I'm becoming more and more anti-vax.
What are you the sore threads?
Yeah, you really are.
No.
Yeah, as soon as you put on that Rolex, you got real anti-sex.
Yo, it's so funny, like, what money will do and how it'll change your opinions.
Do you know what I mean?
Because it looks to me it's about time for me to not get a booster.
It looks to me like Dr. Malone or whatever his name had some really good points about the MRNA monoclonal annibon.
You know what I'm saying?
Son, I'm with it, bro.
My girl got COVID.
I was stuffing ivermectin down every orifice.
Do you know what I mean?
We got to get this girl cleaned up so we can go to Miami.
Yeah.
100%.
Bro, mad people that didn't know that my girl got COVID.
They just knew that I hung out with Dove in Miami.
It's very good.
Like comics.
Like Chris Scopo came up to me.
He was like, hey, dude, the wedding looked great, blah, blah, blah.
And he goes, I just got to ask you, like, why?
Was it weird to go on your honeyboom with the guy that works with you?
Like, he didn't know how to say, why was Dove on your fucking honeymoon?
And the answer is, we were supposed to go to Brazil, but my girl got fucking COVID, so we had to stay.
And then we had a fire-ass super spreader event.
Yeah.
Yeah, you did.
Fire.
It was my favorite event of the century.
Son, Miami was absolutely amazing.
It's better than Britain.
I had so much fun.
I truly can't express how mad I was when you sent those texts.
As I'm isolated with COVID, I could have been isolated in the sun in COVID in Miami.
Yep.
That's a good ass point.
You had a fire ass place, too.
Yeah, bro.
I can't, but as soon as you said, why did we leave Miami?
I was like, yo, fuck this guy.
Why did we leave Miami?
You!
You!
No, why did we?
Miami Super Spreader00:13:44
It wasn't me.
It was 100% you.
I think it was Al.
Son.
I think it was Al.
Al, I got a studio.
I got a bill.
That was in the beginning.
Then I got comfy.
I was like, it's not to us.
Al started the big pun right around the cherry red one fit me.
That was good, though.
No, why did we leave?
Hey, we can still go back, Doug.
But why did we leave?
You.
You.
Was it me?
Yes.
Y'all be hating on me for no reason because I'm married.
It also got hot.
Y'all be hating on me because I'm married.
For what reason?
The weather was about to change.
It was about to get the real, real honey.
That's right.
I saved y'all from that.
Remember when I saved y'all from how hot it was about to be in the middle of the house?
Yeah, from the cars with the air conditioning and the walking outside.
Two blocks everywhere.
Yeah.
Oh, what a nightmare that would have been.
We should have been in the 80-degree subway sweating our balls off.
That's what we should have been.
Back to record prices for apartments in New York.
No, dude.
God, I mean, my financial planning has been so horrible.
I apologize to this guy.
Like, literally, anything that I say about money outside of our business, any suggestion I have about money, just don't take it.
Yeah, yeah.
Because we moved to Miami at the height of the Miami real estate boom.
Moved back to New York at the height of the New York State, New York City real estate boom, right?
Like when we came back, almost impossible to find a place.
Still impossible.
It's very possible.
You're choosing not to what I want for what I want.
Dove lives under a bridge.
He lives under a picky and everything.
He's so jealous because I live.
I'm saving all this money.
I don't have a gift.
I live a sweet and a nice piece of shit.
Buy Mark a fucking wedding gift, please.
Buy him a gift for me.
I gave him advice.
Not an Hermes plate.
Not an Hermes plate.
You know that.
Oh, fuck.
I think I gave you an Hermes plate.
They got that idea from me, too.
No, do you know why I got you guys that plate?
Yeah.
I looked on specific wedding gifts for it's not the whole gift.
I gave him something.
He gave me a different thing.
I gave him a different thing.
Gave him an investment, and then I, but the plate, uh, we looked at like the things that you should give for Indian weddings, and money was the one that's normal.
And I had to explain to my girl, like, it's we're not being rude or lazy by giving money, it's customary in a lot of cultures.
And then the other was uh, they literally said like a plate or some sort of something like house furnishing gift.
Is that complete bullshit?
It was only like a Daisy website.
Like, I looked this up.
I only give money, and I only know people who give money.
The question is not what did you get them, it's how much are you giving, yeah, right?
Yeah, it was actually a nice little nice little piece for the apartment.
You know what I mean?
You walk in, put your keys down, it's classy.
It's classy.
Somebody comes to the apartment, the first thing they see is Herme.
Yes, that's class.
That's the gift I've been getting people for years.
I told them about them, and now that's your gift.
Thank you.
Oh, now it seems pretty funny.
Now you get people gifts for years, and I have nothing because they rented it.
And I have nothing.
That's a trace.
I have absolutely nothing.
The gift of you was the idea for my gift.
I got an idea for a gift from Dove to me.
You ready for this?
Yeah.
You pay for every Uber that we're in together for a year.
Wow.
Whoa, that's a gift.
Wow.
No.
Did you see his fucking accounting brain?
Crunch those numbers real quick.
He always said.
He almost said here comes.
Vala has entered the chat.
Oh, you mean Vala, who sent an invoice for the Uber from the fucking hotel in Boston to the Celtics game, the $7 Uber for the gift of Andrew getting us.
Stop throwing everybody under the bus right now.
Hit him.
What did he do?
You mean the Uber you were going to invoice him, but I had a call because you guys trashed with me.
Hey, Uber.
I hate outside for 20 years.
I learned about an Uber because you're trash and Uber.
We can't hear Vol or nobody's trashing Doves Uber.
Oh, God.
No, no, no, no.
Hey, you know what's funny about that, though?
And I'm going to throw you on the bus because you were wearing this much green to disrespect me.
On the day I dropped my special, I Ubered from Santa Barbara to LA to catch our flight because it got moved.
Vala hitches a ride.
I asked you!
Didn't ask whatever!
Didn't ask!
He only asked once!
He only asked once!
Hey, you want me to throw down some money?
I would have accepted it.
He's like, Nah, man.
No, he's like, no, Pike, don't worry about it.
I got it.
No, Pike.
If you catch it, I take it back.
But I don't ask you.
I asked it from your wife.
I'm going to ask my wife.
Go ahead and ask her.
She'd be remembering.
I bet she'd be remembering too much shit I did wrong.
This is probably locked something out finally.
Wow.
I'm going to bamboo your ass right now.
Bet.
Bet.
I know this is slick, bro.
We got this shit off Dove.
Do you see that?
This was on Dove.
Flipping and sliding.
I have a feeling you're not going to let it go, though.
I don't know what you're getting around.
The longer it takes, the more expensive it's got to be.
Oh, it's interesting.
The VIG.
You added a VIG.
I say the hotel that's on the way from Andrew's apartment to the office.
I got a haymaker for him ready.
Locked, ready to go?
He doesn't even know.
I'm just waiting.
I'm just waiting.
Go.
Go.
It doesn't matter.
You don't know what you're about to step into.
Go, go.
People.
Let's start it over.
Go, This is beautiful.
No, it's your turn.
No, I was admitting that I benefit from being in a hotel in between you and the studio.
Oh, I thought you were talking shit.
No, no, no, no.
That apartment, though, that I did schedule.
Just that.
He was like, I do you the favor of getting a hotel close to you.
That's where you would go because you had some heat for him.
He's like, that was good.
I was fucked up.
That was the apartment that I got him into.
You know what's nice about you, Dove?
Is you never missed it?
You know what's nice about you, Dove, is when you do something nice for somebody, you never hold it over their head.
Never once.
I really appreciate that about you.
You never add a dollar value to every single fucking thing you did.
You remember when I got you to Splenda?
Remember when I got you so you didn't have to get out of your chair?
Is that 37 cents worth?
I'll tell you something.
No, but weaponizing good deeds is really a good way to be with.
It's really the way to do it.
He's Jewish Rayman.
He's Jewish Raymond.
He's just numbers.
Rayman was Jewish.
On the fucking boat, just how much is a yacht?
$6,000.
Oh, man.
What a piece of fucking shit.
Do you know that I took Dove's luggage back from my honeymoon to New York so he didn't have to carry his luggage to his Bahamas boat trip?
Wow.
What is the cost of that?
What is the cost of taking your fucking luggage back, lugging it with my wife, making my wife lug this luggage?
Wait, you made her lug it?
$50.
A lot of bags.
We all have bags.
Take the $50 it costs, add $1,000 to that, and then I'll put them against my receipts for free boats, discount on your hotel.
God, it's unlikable when you do this, man.
Weaponizing gifts.
Like, can you not be a friend?
Can you not be a friend?
Can you not be a friend?
What a sweet boy.
I'm being attacked.
I mean, like, can you not be a friend, bro?
Dove, it ruins it.
It ruins it, bro.
You ruin it all.
My as well on the wedding, though.
He doesn't do this to me as much as you, but the couple times he's done it, I've been like, just don't do anything for me.
Yeah, exactly.
Don't do anything, bro.
Akash calls me fucking every day.
Yo, what am I getting Andrew for his wedding?
Hey, thanks for the help.
Yeah, thanks for the help on that, by the way.
Jackass.
Yeah, you don't do shit.
What's your Coinbase wallet looking like?
Right?
My shit fire.
I don't even know what this thing is.
Spell.
Spell token.
Spell token.
I'm about to sell this shit.
I'll tell you something.
I did too.
Let me sell this.
We sell this shit so we don't lose all our goddamn money.
You're going to sell soon.
I'll tell you.
All right, good.
It should have gone on.
I'm going to give you the password.
You know what?
I did send a Venmo to Andrew for $200 for giving the...
Bro, bro.
I reversed it, though.
Without you telling me to do it, I reversed it.
Son, this guy is unbelievable.
This guy is unbelievable, though.
What do you do?
What do you do?
I have to cancel it.
It's unbelievable, bro.
You go, because I got a story for it, though, too.
I'm doubled down.
Dude, dude, we go to this nightclub afterwards that he'll try to find a way to make it like his.
No, our guy, fucking Randy, who runs all the nightlife in Boston, always takes care of us.
And he's just a fucking great guy.
And shout out to his boy Ed, who wasn't there, but you remember Ed as well.
And probably at a fucking like Asian brothel or something like that.
Not fucking dick beat into his belly button.
Shouts to Ed.
And we go out and they just take care of us on fucking New Year's bottles, this, that, the other.
And we got a tip.
I'm shit faced, right?
We just did these four shows.
We're doing great.
I shit face on.
We got to tip the bottle waitress.
At least the least we could do.
And I tell Random, please stop it.
Let us pay something.
Let us at least take care of her.
So I just say, Dove, can you just, you know, take care of the thing that you also benefited from?
Blah, blah, blah.
You know, give her 100.
I could give her 200.
Give her 200, right?
The money hasn't even left his fingers.
And I get a notification on my phone for $200 demo.
Not even like $175.
And there's his little port.
Like, I'd like to contribute a little.
Like, if it was for $175 and everybody contributed $25, that's one thing.
Not even a contribution.
I thought it was a work expense.
Unbelievable.
I thought it was a work expense.
Also, work expense.
Did I?
Are we at work?
Are you trying to figure a waitress at a fucking night call?
Oh, that's a funny story.
That story.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Hold on, Dove, Mark.
Mark is on something.
Hey, let's hear the story.
I want to drink two fingers.
What is it?
What is it?
All right.
So the girl was at the table.
She was like serving everyone.
Really sweet lady.
And Dove and her were just kind of hitting it off.
Like, great chemistry.
And I think...
Oh, two other pics?
He left.
I had the picks from Derek Posen's girl, Sam.
Wait, really?
She was fake taking selfies and then just shooting over.
That's so funny.
Here's the same part.
The girl and him, I won't.
I won't.
The girl and him, they go, all right, let's do soul cycle tomorrow.
He's like giving her like crazy games.
Like, yeah, we're going to go cycling tomorrow.
It'll be great.
Yeah.
And then he leaves and goes, Did anyone get her Instagram?
I was like, No, no one talked to her.
And he's like, I don't have her number.
I don't have her Instagram.
What am I going to do?
Within seven seconds, finds her Instagram.
Yeah.
Goes through like the clubs, like who all the bottle girls are.
Yeah.
Goes through it.
He, I'm like, all right, send me that.
I want to see.
He said this, just to just a vet, you know, because I don't want my boy to be doing something crazy.
Yeah.
Good thing.
Yeah, just a vet.
Good thing I did, though, because I go through, she's dating a guy on the Patriots.
Yep.
Wow.
Wow.
Trifling, bro.
Wow.
Trifling.
Stepped away.
Stepped away.
Like, this guy got a coach.
Sweet boy.
Like, this guy got a fucking coach.
Just like I reverse the arrogance behind that.
Like, I stepped away.
I was going to steal her from the Patriots.
6'A.
I was big.
I had to step away.
I didn't want to take the professional football player's girlfriend who also has a full-time job.
Step it up, buddy.
Like, we'll talk.
You maybe should step in.
Save Shorty.
Do you think you narrowed it?
Do you think you like protected her identity by not saying who the player was?
Because that guy is going to know exactly who this girl is.
How many players, girls do you think are bottle service girls?
Probably all of them?
100%.
You think they got jobs?
Where do you think they're meeting them?
MIT?
Do you think the fucking Patriots are strolling on campus looking for smart bitches?
You think they still got jobs?
Say what?
You think they still got jobs?
These girls?
Yeah.
That's a good question.
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think they still do.
They do it for the love of the game.
They do it for the love of the game, bro.
They love being out there, dude.
Are they married?
Say what?
Are they married?
Because that changes.
No.
No.
Bro, no, they still got jobs.
They still got jobs.
They still got jobs.
Dude, Dove has his weird flirting technique, which is the fucking craziest thing.
He pretends to like bump his nose into their cheeks when they're talking.
Like, he'll be talking, then he'll kind of do that, like, almost like a retriever, like a golden chicken.
Yeah, yeah, like a kitten.
And then they'll be like, oh, sorry, like, that thing gets out of hand sometimes.
And it's like your way of breaking the touch barrier.
I noticed that you do this.
My cousin taught me that movie.
Oh, he's like, that's real.
I just made that so fucking shit.
She clearly made it up and it ends up being fucking real.
So he made it up with the nose to the cheek.
No.
Is that not the best thing on?
Look at Alex's face right now.
Dude, hello.
Yo, is that real?
Sit up, bro.
Don't pull it up to girls like a fucking kitten.
And just slowly.
No, I don't do it with the nose.
Is that not the most Jewish flirting technique ever?
Just a majority.
Just facing your culture.
Just get close to the ears.
Oh my God.
Face talking.
Get close.
Tell me it works.
It isolates the two of you.
My cousin taught me that.
My cousin taught me that.
Holy shit.
I'll say, do you think whispering is like some fucking nobody's ever heard of anyone?
Not whispering.
Just face talking.
Just get close.
Oh, just violate a personal space.
I got you.
All right.
I got you.
No, but I got you.
No, but I got you.
No, but I got you, though.
Oh, with an Epstein-like charm.
He's fine.
He had no charm, fucker.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe he said that.
You got Maimonstein over here.
My cousin taught me that.
Okay.
Oh, fucking A. All right, guys.

Now let's get back to the show.
What else?
What else we got?
You want to talk about Jake Paul?
Ooh, this guy.
Yes.
Okay, so interesting.
Actually, can I give like a little hot take?
I was telling you guys about this yesterday, but I want to drop this before the Jake Paul thing.
Floyd Mayweather hasn't paid Logan Paul for their fight.
Yeah.
I told you guys this yesterday, but that shit was absolutely crazy.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I was talking to Logan about it.
I was like, are you serious?
He was like, yeah, he hasn't fucking paid me.
I guess we're going to have to sue him.
And it sucks because once you go into the lawsuits, it's like the lawyers make all the money.
Yeah, everybody's losing.
Exactly.
You could stretch that shit out forever.
And he owes him probably between like $5 and $10 million.
He has not paid him.
It's been six months now.
He was supposed to pay him within 90 days and they have not paid him.
And then apparently they cut a side deal with like Saudi Arabia and then one other place for like $10 million to stream the fight there and never told Logan or their people about it.
And it's just like, it sucks to like, I'm the biggest Floyd Mayweather fan in the world, right?
He is the greatest fighter of all time.
I've said he's the greatest great of all time.
But it sucks to see people become the people that they've always fought against or hated.
Right.
You know, like Floyd left Bob Aram because he was like, Bob Aram's not giving me the money I deserve.
He's fucking me.
Right.
Bob Aaron's iconic promoter in boxing.
And it's just like, and then you end up becoming that?
Yeah.
That's some bullshit, man.
It's like, you know, the fight generated money.
Pay the guy pennies compared to what you're paying.
Yeah.
Like, why do that?
What the fuck is going on?
Are you embarrassed that you didn't finish him?
Is this like a power play?
Is this a little bit of an ego move?
But like, why are you becoming the guy that fighters all say and swear they're not going to be?
And they're going to come into the promotional business and revolutionize it and pay the fighters their fair share, et cetera.
And then you're just going to be a scumbag to this guy.
The last 30 days have been kind of embarrassing for Floyd.
I don't know if you saw the thing where he said like Fendi outfit.
Son, he dressed like Lil Dirk's girlfriend in Russia.
That shit was crazy.
He said also, like, if I had trained for Logan at all, I'd have knocked him out in the first round.
It's like, all right, you ain't got to say that.
Yeah, just do it.
Yeah, just do it.
And your whole ethos, all work is easy work.
Yeah.
So you didn't want to do the easy work?
Yeah.
Like, you're the guy who we respect above all else.
You work the fucking hardest.
Yeah.
So now you're like, I'm not even doing that.
And that to me undermines your legacy more than carrying him for eight rounds to have a fun fight.
Yeah.
Just, you know, I just don't even address it.
Yeah, it's just corny, man.
And it makes me wonder.
It's like, are they going through real financial problems?
Also, if I'm his fighter, Javante Davis, I'm like, yo, check the books, man.
Like, please don't let this be another Don King situation where Don King was ripping off these fighters back in the day.
And I don't know.
It's just so sad.
Like, that would be the biggest stain on his legacy if, at the end of the day, he ended up fucking over his fighters.
Not only Logan, but like fucking over Travante and other people that was part of Mayweather Promotions.
Like, you want to talk about something that could be a stain?
Like, not knocking out Logan Paul, people can forget about it.
We remember Floyd.
He's 50 and oh, and never lost a fight, yada, yada, yada.
We don't care about these stupid exhibition bouts he was doing.
He went and did one against some Japanese kid.
Like, we don't give a fuck about that.
But what could fuck up your legacy is if you end up being a scumbag to fighters, the people that you were swearing to protect, right?
Right?
The wheel that you were swearing to break.
It's like some fucking Targaryen Daenerys shit.
Yeah.
It's like, do you just become the crazy people that you were trying to fight back against?
It's like that new Matrix movie that just came out.
I don't know if you guys remember, remember Nairobi, Jada?
Yes.
Character in the early Matrices.
She was this rebel.
And in this one, she's this person pushing back against the rebels.
And it's like, you live long enough to become the person that you hate.
Right, right.
I think there's that Batman line, like, what is it?
Die here or live long enough to become a villain?
Yeah, die here or live long enough to become a villain.
And that was great.
Fucking memory right there.
There you go.
Yeah.
And it's like, is that what we're witnessing with Floyd?
And that would stain his legacy.
That would.
I think that would fuck him up.
His legacy as a fighter, you think, though?
Like, is he not going to be one of the man?
Yeah, as a man, for sure.
Dude, he got a couple things I guess.
Not paying.
He's got a great reputation as a man like that.
A couple accusations could see.
He is the man's man.
No.
I think it's only going to matter to people like you who are big fans of him.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Because the rest of the general public.
Now, here's another thing I'm wondering.
Do you think there's a certain part of society that like maybe doesn't like Logan and the Paul Paul brothers, and they actually are happy that Floyd is fucking him over in this way?
Is kind of hustling him?
Maybe, but like you, it's like such an injustice that even the biggest hater is going to be like, because don't most people go, yo, if I did something, you didn't pay me, like, I would be furious about this shit.
Especially fighting.
That guy risk is that high.
Yeah.
I mean, it just feels so weird.
It's like the scummiest thing, right?
Like something just seems off because to not pay him at all is weird.
Give him gifts.
Like, you have to be a different level.
And I call him champagne man.
Get him the fuck.
But yeah, something just seems off the fact that he didn't pay him at all.
And so I'm what I think, my theory is that it didn't sell the way that he thought.
Ooh.
And so he's going to have to pay him out of pocket.
And it's different when you come out of your pocket than when you come out of profits.
Yeah.
Pocket feels way harsher.
Yeah.
When you make crazy money, it's nice to like throw it around.
Interesting.
But I think they confirmed it.
It did sell well.
I mean, maybe the business wasn't right.
Like, you know, they kind of put this shit together pretty quick.
Yeah, that's true.
Interesting.
So there's something else there.
Like, I want to talk to Floyd, obviously.
I wish I had connect with him like that to actually get his side, but it just feels wrong, bro.
Like, yeah.
Well, I don't know about the Saudi thing, though.
Like, if you are able, like, was it Floyd's thing?
Like, it was his production, his promotion that put it on.
Yeah.
So if they find other ways to monetize it.
Yeah, I don't think you're as entitled to that.
It's kind of fucked up, I guess.
But like, I think based on their contract, it was a percentage of what the fight earned.
Ah, okay.
And then just not telling him about that money earned.
So if he was going to get 10% of everything that came in and, you know, Floyd gets the 100 million or if 100 million comes in, it's like Floyd gets the 90, he gets the 10.
It's like, well, fam, where's my 1 million from that $10 million deal you did in Saudi Arabia?
The contract would easily say like worldwide.
And if it was carving out Saudi Arabia, that'd be very clear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It just feels like scummy, though.
One good thing I could say about Floyd, hairline's looking phenomenal.
Sturdy, sturdy, and the beard.
Like that surgery was amazing.
It worked because he had plugs on his face and his head.
Yeah.
And it's not like because Tori's shit, and maybe he was stressed with the whole Megan thing, but Tori's shit is gone.
But now Floyd is just looking youthful.
He looked like Dr. Umar.
He needed that Logan Paul money.
That's what he did.
He's like, I can't give this up, bro.
That's Jake is all the turkey, bro.
Now, what do you guys think about the Jake Paul, Dana White beef?
Thoughts on this?
I asked once on this podcast.
I was like, why do people hate Jake Paul?
And then I got so much, like, so many comments.
Like, what do you mean?
Well, yeah, nobody had a real reason.
I love this guy.
This is so great.
I never break it down.
Because he's playing the troll, but as a like an altruistic person.
It's so fucking smart to say, hey, I don't like this guy.
I'm going to troll this guy, but I'm going to do it as the good guy.
Yeah.
We see trolls as these pieces of shit who will insult your family and insult your whatever.
And then he gets accused of being on steroids.
And then he's like, have you seen this fat body?
Like, he's self-deprecating.
He's altruistic.
He's like, he's doing it perfectly.
I've never seen anybody troll this masterfully in my life.
Yeah, he gets it.
And I think the whole troll is a distraction, to be honest.
Okay, that's what I was thinking, too.
What is your because like the pay-per-view numbers came out for his second fight with Tyron Woodley and they were saying 65,000 pay-per-view buys, which is significantly lower than the first one, which was about half a million.
Right.
Now, he said there's still numbers that come in, but let's say it settles between 65 and 100.
Still a big letdown.
Yeah.
Right.
So how do you stop people from talking about that?
Change the narrative.
Give him something juicier to talk about.
Right?
Create another story.
And now everybody's just talking about this Dana White story because Dana White actually responded.
Now, I think Dana is thinking, oh, I'm going to clobber him with these pay-per-view buys, right?
I'm going to expose him and say, oh, the jig is up.
But the fact that he responded, now we're still in this discussion about Jake Paul versus the UFC instead of Jake Paul's floundering pay-per-view numbers.
And the thing about Jake Paul is, and I think I've said this the whole time, is Jake Paul is not a pay-per-view draw.
He's a pay-per-view heel.
Yes.
Let me clarify.
He's a massive draw as a heel, but a heel needs a face.
There are certain people that were the draw as a face.
Mike Tyson was a draw as a face.
Roy Jones Jr. was a draw as a face, right?
Floyd Mayweather was not a draw as a face.
Oscar De Hoya was a draw as a face.
And face and heel, these are like wrestling terms.
Anybody listening right now, face essentially the good guy.
People want to see Jake get knocked out.
And that is what he markets himself as.
He is trolling masterfully.
And everybody wants to see the troll get squashed.
Right.
So, but you need to see somebody in there with him that you believe could knock him out.
After that first fight, you don't believe Tyron can beat him.
Nope.
And we're not paying to see Jake knock people out yet.
Even though he's doing it, that's not what we're paying for.
Every time we're paying for Jake to be exposed, and he hasn't been exposed.
So we keep on paying.
Same thing with Floyd, talking shit to all these people.
And we go watch him outbox all these guys.
And the average fan would be like, this guy's fighting style is so boring, but I just want to see him get caught.
The boxing enthusiasts would love to see the fighting style because he was just masterful of his craft.
But at the end of the day, fuck the craft.
We want carnage.
That's why UFC works.
Yeah, there are craftsmen in the UFC.
There's no fucking doubt.
But a lot of times looking at that shit, you see gashes of fucking blood coming down.
You see people swinging wildly.
It's a bar fight in a lot of these scenarios.
Nobody's tuning in for the jiu-jitsu or very few people.
Right?
So he needs a fucking face.
So of course this fight isn't going to do well.
There's no face.
Tommy Fury might have been that face.
Tommy Fury, because you think he might have lost.
So that might have.
And then as soon as I found out he dropped out, I didn't care.
It's over.
He already beat this guy.
It's not going to get better.
Yep.
And on short notice, Tyron's going to not figure it out.
And you know what I mean?
He had no time to train.
You know my theory on what he's doing?
I think Jake wants out of fighting.
He's dropped a little thing like after the first China Woodley fight, he's like, Yeah, I'm gonna take a break.
Yeah, and then he took another fight with Tommy Fury, and then he did that and he won and whatever.
But like, he's he's dropped the thing.
You hear he says, like, basically, he thinks he has brain damage.
He's like, I forget stuff that happened very recently.
Slurred speech, I slurred speech like every hundredth word just all of a sudden gets slurred.
Yeah, and the best way to do that is to have one last money fight.
And the best way to do that is say, you know what?
Everybody wants to pay to see me lose.
I'll just go to UFC where people are going to be positive I'll lose and they'll do the most buys.
I'll get the biggest numbers there and I'll negotiate with Dana on my terms.
I'll make the whole thing about how he doesn't pay and he doesn't give equal share and I'll demand that.
Yeah, and I'll set the precedent for future people and then I get the fuck out.
And this is, I think, I think that's brilliant.
I think this is where he's up.
Because I think that if he was friendly, if he was more friendly with Dana and just kept the animosity between him and Jorge Masvedal and the fighters, Dana might do the fight in UFC with UFC rules for the huge payday and just to see the guy get exposed.
Right.
But the fact that he's pissed off Dana so much that Dana is actually responding.
Dana's like, I'm not going to put you on anywhere.
And you don't sell tickets.
Now you've exposed yourself that you need my guys to sell tickets.
I ain't giving you my guys.
You can't do this yourself.
You need go.
Well, here's what he's also doing.
He's driving a bit of a wedge between his guys and Dana by saying, Hey, he doesn't take care of you.
Whether Dana does or does not, I don't know.
I don't know the numbers.
But he's saying, This guy doesn't take care of you.
Look how much I'll pay you.
I'll pay you an extra.
Well, you pay Tyrone Woodley, an extra million, $500,000.
$500,000 if he knocked him out.
Yeah.
But yeah, I guaranteed him, I think, a million.
I'll take care of you.
I'll take care of you.
This guy won't.
I'll do the Rolex.
Yeah.
Jake gave Tyler Rollers to the other gift.
Been there.
He's a Joe Rogan right now.
Yeah, real talk.
So I think he is still playing it smart.
Maybe not as smart.
Maybe the best ways to be friends with Dana, but he's being the heel and the good guy.
And he's still driving a little wedge between the fighters and Dana.
Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
I just wonder if he's like, I know the fighters know they want to make more money, but the fighters also benefit so much from being in the UFC, the system of the UFC, that like, I don't even know if they're that worried.
Like, I think there's a certain few fighters that are like below pay-per-view draws, but above complete no-names.
They're like, we deserve to make some more, right?
Like, like Sean O'Malley's like, Sean O'Malley's like, hey, I'm selling tickets, but I'm still on this contract.
I'm not getting paid a lot.
Yeah.
I deserve more.
But once he's a pay-per-view draw, he'll be getting more.
Right.
So he's in that weird stage where he's more famous than his contract.
He's outperformed his contract.
Right.
Right.
So now it just benefits the UFC.
Right.
But that's why you sign contracts.
But what about the guys who are the stars who don't necessarily need the biosphere of the UFC promotion?
I don't see them complaining.
Jorge Masvedal, I don't see complaining.
I don't see Kamara Usman complaining.
I don't see Colby Covington complaining.
Like, I don't see Dustin Poria complaining.
I don't see Connor McGregor complaining.
Like all the guys, I don't see Stylebender complaining.
Did McGregor not beef with Dana over like letting him do the fight with Floyd?
Dana promoted the fight with Floyd.
It was a co-promotion.
Yeah.
Okay.
So Dana got brand off of that fight.
So I just don't see the top guys complaining.
I think what it is is the guys who are outperforming their contracts.
And I think that's how everybody kind of feels.
You know, I think like when we're doing, you know, you do comedy club for the first time that you sell out and you have your guaranteed contract, but you sold the place out.
You're like, I need to get a little bit more money for this shit.
Outperforming Contracts00:05:58
So I get that feeling 100%.
But what you got to do is understand next time you go to sign that contract.
Yeah.
You hit a bag average.
Yeah.
So it's like you're upset in the now.
And I understand with a sport like fighting, which is like in a lot of ways contractually terrifying, you lose, you lose all that leverage or a lot of it.
You lose a couple times in a row, you could be out the game.
So I understand like when you're popular, you want to capitalize on it fucking now.
And I think that's what Jorge was going through with Dana.
Remember when Jorge fought Kamaru on like short notice?
He went out to like Abu Dhabi or something like that.
Remember in seven days, he like cut weight.
Do you guys remember that?
And he was like, but they got to pay me the right amount.
Jorge was on a tear.
He knocked out Askren with the knee.
He beat Darren Till.
Like he was beating all these guys.
And I think Jorge understood.
He's like, oh, shit.
Like, I'm a journeyman fighter.
And now I have more hype than everybody.
And fans want to fucking see me.
You got to pay me now.
Yeah.
I don't know when I'll be able to string together a number of victories that are going to make me this hyped.
Especially before Kamaru.
He's like unbeatable.
Exactly.
So it's like, I got to go.
And then to go five rounds with him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was like, but I, and I understand the grievance right there because on some level, he's going, buddy, when am I going to have this much hype right now?
Yeah.
Mike Berry did the same thing.
Like, it was only after he had like two or three wins in a row that he was going in on fight or pay.
Interesting.
I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
Remember that last press conference that he had where he was just like going off like on air?
I think, and then he said something about taxes.
Like, I'm actually glad I made less because then I don't got to pay more in taxes or some shit.
Yeah, he's a wild boy, that guy.
Yeah.
But yeah.
So what do you think Jake's play is?
I think he has to fight UFC guys or MMA guys because that's where he has a competitive advantage.
And I think he needs a big marquee name.
And I think if he can fight a Nate Diaz, if he can fight a Jorge Masvedal, if he can fight a Colby Covington, if he can fight one of these people that the MMA community is passionate about, then I think that we can see a big pay-per-view draw.
But just Jake going to beat up a random person, I don't think people are paying money for it.
And I think he knows that.
And he's okay with the way that he positioned it.
Like Logan is more of a face.
People might pay to see Logan fight somebody.
But Jake, he understands that he's there to troll.
And like he'll wear two fucking watches at the same time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Like, so people go, look at this asshole wearing two watches.
But it's a comment.
You know?
What do you think his request to Dana?
Like the steroid stuff?
Oh, is he on Reuts?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because basically, Dana said, yeah, like, I mean, like, look, here's the reality.
If they're not testing for steroids and you're in a competitive sport, you're on steroids.
Right.
This is just as simple as that.
And if they are testing, you're still probably on steroids.
Yeah, you might be.
Yeah, 100%.
All sports.
And yeah, exactly.
So it's like, if there's a weightlifting competition and there's no testing for steroids, please believe everybody is getting every advantage they could possibly.
It's like taxes.
You're not going to lie.
You're not going to cheat, but you're going to get as close as you can.
Yes, 100%.
Yeah.
So like, do I think that he's on steroids?
I don't know.
If I was in his situation, would I be on steroids?
100%.
Yeah.
I'm not doing this shit for the period of the game.
He's not fighting other boxers.
He's fighting UFC.
He's doing this for entertainment.
So get every advantage you possibly can have within the sport.
Now, if he's not on Reuts, guess who else?
So if he's potentially on Reuts, guess who else can potentially be?
The people he's fighting.
If he's not getting tested, they don't have to get tested.
So there's no advantage.
So I don't understand why this is a big deal.
Like, if you're testing the opponent and then you're not testing him, then it's wrong.
But if there's no testing for everybody and Tyron Woodley's been the UFC for fucking 15 years, so he's been UFC when people were on Reuts.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Please believe.
There's no real advantage here.
Right.
Yeah.
Also, the goalpost is being moved with Jake Paul.
He's a fake fighter.
He can't really fight.
Now he can fight.
And now he's an athlete.
He's been an athlete his whole life.
Have you seen people say that?
Yeah.
In high school, he was like a wrestler.
Like, yeah, of course he's going to be good.
And it's like, all right.
Everyone just keeps changing the goalposts over and over about.
Because they don't want to admit that the kid can actually fucking box.
Yeah.
He can actually box a little.
It's not the steroids.
You can fill me up with steroids.
You can fill Akash upstairs, fill you up a steroid, fill you upstairs.
We can't go in there against UFC guys and fuck them up.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Speak for yourself.
You can speak for me.
But what else we got, boys?

Now let's get back to the show.
Oh my God.
What is your thought on that, Akash?
His story is the coach, Bruce Arians, tried to make him play with an injury.
Like he told him he was hurt and Bruce Arians was like, no, go back out there.
And he was like, I can't.
I'm hurt.
And then Bruce Arians said, if you don't go back out there, you're off the team.
And so that's why he quit in the fashion in which he quit.
What did he do?
Antonio Brown took off his jersey and shoulder pads mid-game on the sideline, walked to the locker room shirtless.
And as he's in the end zone, hyped up the crowd, the Jets crowd, the away crowd.
He's a buck, Tampa Bay Buccaneer, and then just basically quit the team.
Fucking raising the one as he runs into the tunnel.
It's a hilarious video.
But what's the deal?
Like, if he's that injured, why the fuck can't he, why can't you?
Why can't he run and jump?
That was my thought.
If you're so hurt, you're raising your arms, you're running and jumping.
Right.
How hurt are you?
Yeah, he didn't look that hurt.
Yeah, so I don't know if that's his story.
Tom Brady and Bruce Arians are apparently saying, like, hey, he's off the team, but like, be kind to him.
And he's not in like the best mental state.
Like, just be kind as I'm going to be.
I thought that was a good response.
Got it.
Yeah.
Because it also completely, like, they can't say shit.
What do you mean?
But you're, you're saying, hey, be nice to this guy.
He's, you know, we don't know what his mental health struggles are.
But you're calling the guy crazy.
You're saying we had a fucking crazy person on our team.
In his house.
Wasn't he living with Tom?
Yeah.
Yes.
Tommy had Tom Tom.
Tom had a crazy person in his house.
Tom will do anything to win.
He really will.
I had his kids' lives at stake.
Son, he's a crazy person walking around the house shirtless.
I heard the week leading up to the Super Bowl last year against Kansas City.
He sent his entire family away and was just like, no, the house is mine.
I'm studying film, a non-stop work.
Until we fucking get better at this.
I'd be negotiating with my wife.
Shorty, I got to be great.
Like, beat it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I really got to be better at this, man.
Here's two playing tickets.
Go over you want.
Go wherever you want.
Take another guy.
I don't go, fuck.
No.
No.
No, I'm not there yet.
I just got married.
Take another gay guy.
There you go.
Take another gay guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Another one.
Not me.
Yeah, not me.
Yeah, it's just, it's just, man.
It's just weird that.
It's, yeah, it's sad, but it's also Tom Brady's fucking perfect.
He handles it all perfectly.
To say it like that and not be like, you know, he quit on the team.
That's what the easy way to go.
And then to say, like, hey, let's just all be nice to him.
And then they end up winning the game, right?
Yeah.
They came back.
They were down 24-10 when he left, and they ended up winning 28-24 or 28-27.
And wasn't it a game-winning drive with like under two minutes left?
He went like 93 yards.
Complete Tom Brady, Tom Brady.
Like his 68th game-winning drive in his career or some shit.
Like something insane.
44 years old.
It's almost like it's almost like he needed a little bit of excitement.
Yeah, he needed a little bit of a damage.
I need the flu.
Someone caught from my mouth.
And they lost the game before and had like their second best receiver got injured.
They're starting running back got injured.
Like mad people got hurt in the game before and they lost.
And then they just, we're fine.
It's 24-21, but it's the Jets.
I've destroyed the Jets my whole career.
Are you willing to admit he's greater than Jordan yet?
No, he's not.
This guy's nothing.
I think he's greater in every way.
He's great.
That's what I'm saying.
He's greater in every single way.
He's in color.
Yes, exactly.
That's what I think.
No, he's like greater.
He's like an athlete.
I think he's a better leader.
I think he's like a better person.
Better human being for sure.
Yeah.
Better looking.
Jordan handsome, but Tom Brady hates it.
I think Jordan probably got a better body.
Jordan got a better body.
Jordan got a way better body.
80% got better.
Not even close.
I don't know.
Jordan's kind of Jordan's handsome.
You don't think Jordan's handsome?
I think Jordan.
He definitely aged better.
Not even a question.
Brady aged better.
Oh, yeah.
Jordan looks like shit now.
But we'll see once Brady's retired.
Yeah.
You know, for four years, but or five years.
Brady's going to be gorgeous forever, dog.
Come on.
Yeah, he might be.
That motherfucker aging gracefully.
Yeah.
Jordan aging like that.
I think Antonio Brown has actual mental health issues.
Yeah, CTE, for sure.
1,000% CTE is not even.
I just attribute it all to and it was the hit on by Vantez Berfick in the playoff game.
I remember watching that.
Dirty hit.
Yeah.
Dirty hit.
And ever since then, no shit, the guy has not been the same mentally.
But you think more of a problem.
Concussion can make that happen?
I think if it's vicious enough, and if you watch the replay of this hit, this shit is filthy.
That's the hit.
It looks kind of crazy.
He's down, basically unconscious.
Let's see the replay.
So he goes up, misses it.
Oof.
Oh, yeah.
He's a 500 pounds of force.
Look at this.
I mean, what a piece of shit.
Yeah, but also Rothlessberger with the hospital pass, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
He hung him out to drive for sure.
But that straight to his head.
Yeah, dude.
And you know what's shoulder straight to the head.
If he had caught that pass, he'd be able to handle that hit.
Yeah.
But the fact that he didn't catch it.
Well, it was a bit too high, too.
If it was a little bit.
It was a bad pass, but like, if he had caught it, he'd at least brace for impact.
Yes.
But when you don't catch it, I don't think you go.
Yeah.
Isn't that interesting?
No, that was brutal.
Yeah.
And I truly don't think he's been the same since then.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think one head injury can.
Especially because it's the one head injury compounded by all the other little hits.
Yeah.
I think they're saying with NFL in general is like CTE's like the competitive chronic.
The micro concussions, whatever they call them, like the little hits.
That's why they're worried about linemen the most because it's just a lot of little boom boom boom.
Yeah, but it's never linemen that are like killing their wives and shit like that.
I think I think it is too.
Really?
Yeah.
At least linemen.
He's just not famous enough.
Yeah.
But the lineman should be the worst, right?
Because every single play you're doing a headbutt, right?
Yeah.
Whereas the linebacker, how many tackles do you think you're getting the game?
Oh, linebackers have 100 tackles a year, no problem.
And then you're getting in there every junior Sayao, one of the greatest linebackers ever.
He died.
I think he committed suicide and his family thought he had CTE.
And he was a guy.
I mean, you're fucking in there every play.
Like the lineman hit every play, too.
But you're the next line of defense.
And you're all over the field.
Yep.
Yep.
And it's probably just bigger impact, too.
Yeah.
You're running full speed.
They're running full speed.
Do you think AB's meltdown affects the league?
No.
No.
The league keeps going and it keeps growing.
Yeah.
I keep watching.
I feel kind of guilty, but I'm not going to stop watching.
That's what I'm saying.
How many people like you are feeling a little like, yeah, this is getting weird?
No, I've got a football weirdly.
Really?
Yeah.
I used to like as a kid, I knew every football player, Brett Favre's era.
Like, I was into football.
And then slowly over time, I was like, yo, I don't like watching people just app like it's gonna someone's gonna die in the field and I just don't want to be a part of interest in a weird way.
And is it because it's disingenuous?
Like with boxing or like fight sports, you know what they're entering and this feels like they're kind of being lied to.
Well, the NFL hit it a long time, like cigarettes.
Yeah, yeah.
So if NFL just came out and they're like, yo, this shit is wild, dangerous, and you're most likely going to get CTE.
And if you choose to do this, that's up to you.
Then maybe it would absolve the guilt a little bit.
A little bit.
But like they encourage kids to get into the game and all that shit.
Yeah.
Like I would never encourage my kid to get into like an MMA.
You know what I mean?
I'd be like, you can learn how to like spar and shit.
What about karate?
You probably wanted your kid to do some sort of self-defense, right?
That's cool, but like, I don't want to play MMA, a lot of head trauma.
You don't want them sparring hard and getting cracked in the head at it.
Twice a week, every week.
Would you let your kid play football?
Yeah.
Tackle football?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Arkash.
I mean, if he was an actual man, yeah.
16, though.
I say wait till like 16.
14, 15, maybe.
I don't know.
Nah, I really don't think playing fucking pee wee makes you a player.
Yeah, them kids don't hit each other hard, bro.
Nah, they be hitting you, but like, I don't think you actually develop as a player.
Like, I don't think LaDani and Thomason or whoever would be like, dude, if it wasn't for Pee Wee football, what I wouldn't have been here.
What do you mean?
I think I'm the only person here who played tackle football.
You played it.
I think you played at a high level, right?
Yeah.
Dove got beat up by us and middle schoolers.
He's got a story.
No, we played flag, but then when we started in high school and you played against some of the schools in LA, you knew kids that played Pop Warner and they it hurt.
I couldn't believe the hits that I took.
I'm just like, I just did this to fucking wear the jersey to school, get the girls.
And you played defense.
Yeah.
Well, I've tried wide receiver.
I couldn't catch a ball for shit.
Right.
But I didn't have those gloves back then.
And then I was like, that was it.
Yeah, it was gloves.
It was definitely the gloves.
Also, they did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Back then.
Fuck you in high school.
You played with a leather helmet?
No, there were like leather.
There was some sticky guys would add it to anyway.
Did your nose stick out of the mask?
I have the lineman one where it was like the bar across the face.
Could you not play lineman because you just started trying to kiss the guys by putting nose against your cheeks?
Just nuzzle.
Do you think you have CTE?
Be honest.
No, I got because how much cheek move?
There got to be CTE right there.
100%.
Yeah, that's it hurt.
And they said there's research, like an average number of concussions that leads to CTE is like 16 or 17.
Like these guys have had that many, and they don't report them.
So, yeah.
Motherfuckers.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm going to keep watching.
Yeah, I don't hold the league responsible at all at this point.
If they come out and say it, it's still not going to change anything.
The players at this point know what they're getting into.
I feel so bad for people who didn't know what they were getting into.
And the league isn't really taking care of retired players.
Like they cut their benefits wherever they can.
League is like the most ruthless corporation.
They make money.
I think they're worried about cut costs everywhere.
I think that's the big thing.
Oh, you admit it, and then boom, waterfalls.
Ooh, that's interesting.
It's going to go down.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Could you?
Yeah, like, does that cancer sponsorship go?
Yeah.
Because, like, UFC has amazing sponsors and they're honest about what they're doing.
But even if you look at the sponsorship between like NFL and UFC, it's different.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
State Farm is different.
Insurance is going to sponsor CTE.
Manscaped will.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little different ad budget.
Ah, that's interesting.
Is NFL the most profitable league in the world?
It is.
Well, for sure in America.
I think the most valuable team is the Cowboys.
Yeah.
Over like Man City and all Man United, all that.
Wow.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
And you got to look at the schedule, too.
It's like they play 17 games a year now.
Yeah, 17.
Compare that to what do soccer teams play?
More than 17, right?
Yeah, way more.
So it's like baseball is 162.
Basketball is 82.
Yeah.
Like you're doing a fraction of the games and you're still making more money.
Dude, they did Christmas Day ratings, numbers, and I wish I remembered, but I want to say the NFL is not a Christmas Day.
They never promote Christmas.
Thanksgiving is their day.
The NBA tried to take Christmas.
This year, they had two football games.
They got like 29 million viewers each.
And then the highest-rated basketball game was something like 12 million.
Those numbers aren't exactly something like that.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
They don't even, we're not even trying.
We're dominating.
Yeah.
It's a more enjoyable sport to watch on TV.
The excitement is.
And with groups and barbecues.
You don't do barbecues for basketball games.
Finals.
It's got to be playoffs or finals.
Tailgate for basketball.
Like a football game that's reasonably close is an awesome game to watch because of how they've curated the watching experience from home.
They actually haven't done a good job live.
No.
Football live kind of stinks.
I'll be honest.
If you don't have great seats, it sucks.
And if you don't have a real stake in one of the teams.
Just being a casual at a football game, it's like if the weather stinks, you're kind of cold.
You can't see the movement of the ball.
Like a four-yard run on TV looks okay.
From the back corner, you can't see depth.
It doesn't mean anything four-yard.
Especially if it's like a running player, like a trick player.
I don't even know what I mean.
What is this?
Interesting perspective, though.
When we were at the Celtics game, we got to go, shouts to Randy again, but we got to go sit in the suite.
And we were in the center suite, meaning like we were right in the center and we could see both benches as well.
It's probably the best fucking suite in the house.
And you'd think a suite, you'd be kind of far away from the action and it wouldn't be as enjoyable to watch.
I looked at the Jumbotron less.
The suite level, to me, was the exact level that the cameras are for when you watch the game at home.
So, and since you're center, you're watching the action like evenly, it was fucking perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
And but I think that's what the NFL has created.
Oh, yeah.
Like at home, you really feel like this intimate shot.
Don't like going to games.
I think the second time in history, as of earlier this year, away teams had a winning record against home teams because their home field advantage doesn't really exist anymore.
Like the only thing it does is refs are still more inclined to give you calls.
But like, yeah.
Dude, Cowboys games, it's not that loud because the hardcore fans are like, I can still just watch.
Yeah.
It's way too fucking expensive.
They got these personal seat licenses that cost crazy money.
You have to pay every single year, no matter what.
And it's just not worth it.
It's not worth it.
I would rather watch it home and get it.
They got the commentary down.
They got the replay down.
Yeah, they just figured it out.
And basketball, it's, I don't know, man.
The energy is just not there.
I think what kills basketball the most, and I love basketball live, but football live has this a bit, but basketball, the end of the game bogs down so much.
We're fouling all the time.
I don't know live.
I was saying basketball on TV.
On TV.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I think the last 30 seconds of a game takes 12 minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hear you.
I hear you.
Yeah, for some reason, yeah.
I think it's just because it is so few games, it makes it more of an event.
That also is a game.
Justice For Epstein00:15:05
That also is also true.
Every game matters.
Yeah.
Every game matters.
But playoffs the whole season.
Yeah, no, that's true.
That's true.
And the players know that, so they're not half-assing it.
Like, you could tell when the players stepping up in basketball.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, the defense is getting real.
People diving for balls and shit.
But game 73.
Is 37-year-old LeBron really going to kill himself in 1973?
Like halfway through the season, all of a sudden Kyrie, maybe I might play away games now.
They're coasted.
Yeah, they're coasted 100%.
All right.
Guys, I think that we have to get into our conspiracy bag right here.
We've got some big things going on.
We have Ghillain Maxwell.
Yep.
Is guilty on five of six accounts.
Do we think that people will feel satisfied by this decision?
Kind of, sort of, I think.
Okay.
I think people will be satisfied that there is some semblance of justice, that it's not just covered up.
Oh, Epstein killed himself, that kind of shit.
But ultimately, and I think you were mentioning this yesterday, Ghillane isn't the person that people want to see, even if she is the ringleader, the head of the whole thing, the most responsible.
They want to see the people that are related and around the case.
Yeah.
That's what I fear about this right now is like there's a very good chance that they didn't really have any good intelligence or like proof of kid fucking from all these elites and politicians that were on the island or on the plane.
There's a very good chance, right?
We've all, I think, like gone down the rabbit hole and started to believe that they did.
And they got these tapes and they have this advanced recording system.
It is America, it is Upper East Side apartment.
And then the island, they recorded everything.
And there's a kill switch in case someone dies.
And I think we all started to believe it because we wanted the other bad guys.
Like we wanted the Clintons and we wanted Bill Gates and we wanted who else is on there?
Who else has been Prince Andrew or Alan Dershowitz?
Like we wanted these guys that we already didn't like because of their fucked up actions and behaviors.
We wanted them to go down and we're like, oh, here's a tool for you guys to go down.
Right.
So now we have this tool.
This tool for you guys to go down is Ghillain Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and their child sex ring that they took part in.
So I think a lot of people acted like they cared so much about pedophilia when really they're just using the child sex ring to take down their bad guys, which is ironically the same thing that Epstein and Ghillain were doing is using child sex trafficking to take down their enemies.
Right.
Right.
Or to what is it, flip or get the loyalty of certain people, right?
So that they could control certain people.
So I'm just thinking, like, I think the average person, if you ask them, can you name two people that Epstein or Ghillain touched or diddled or sold into sex trafficking?
I don't think they'd be able to.
No chance.
I can't.
And there was a whole documentary, and I can't either.
I know Virginia Gouffrey, and then it stops right there.
So we can't really care that much about the victims if we don't even know who the victims are, right?
Selfishly, maybe we care more about the people that we kind of don't like getting punished, and this is the method of punishment.
Maybe we just selfishly want what we feel like is justice.
We feel like what we feel like is justice.
We feel like powerful people get away with everything.
We don't get away with shit.
We lie on our taxes.
The fucking government throws us in jail.
They lie on their taxes.
They do whatever they want.
Yeah, they don't pay taxes.
Jeff Bezos don't ever have to pay anything.
So you want some form of justice.
And especially if they're doing something this viral, I want justice.
So this excites us because it might bring justice.
But if this is where it stops, we'll forget about it.
But it's not satisfying.
I wonder if like we even get confused with the word justice, right?
Because like I don't think that humans have ever wanted justice in terms of like the justice system.
Like somebody kills your daughter and then they go to jail for life.
I don't think you feel okay with that.
That is justice in terms of justice system.
But real justice is some Hammurabi's code shit.
Yeah.
Real justice, like you killed my daughter.
I'm going to kill you.
Yeah.
Shit, you're lucky I don't kill your daughter.
So you know what it feels like.
Yeah.
And I think that human beings get caught up in this concept of like, let's call it instead of justice, like even, because that's where our emotional feelings are.
Like that's, that was the fucking OJ shit.
Like the OJ thing was people wanted OJ to get off, not because they liked OJ, but because they were like, why people be getting off?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I don't know Ron or Nicole.
Serial killers or terrorists, we want them to get put behind bars because they could affect our lives still.
Right.
OJ was upset someone was smashing his wife.
He ain't going to come kill my wife.
He's done killing.
Right.
Right?
Like, he's a monster to one person, huh?
Now two people.
He was a monster to one person, then a second person.
Yes.
That's not a monster to any random person.
Exactly.
I'm any random person.
I'm not a wife.
I'm not a guy fucking a wife.
I'm a random person.
That's what serial killer is going after.
Lock that guy up so I feel safe.
Exactly.
So it's just like, let's have it just kind of be even.
It's the same.
It's the Kyle Renhaus shit.
It was like, how do we make this even?
If this was a black kid, he would have been shot or he would have been put in jail for what he did.
What would be even is if he got shot or put in jail?
That would be even.
Right?
Like, it's people, it's people trying to write the scale instead of going to what the justice system requires.
Right.
That's kind of what I believe.
Yeah.
I agree with you, but I do think that there is a sense of justice when someone goes away to jail, even if it's even if like they committed murder and we don't kill them.
Because it's like, if what's the dude who stepped on, put his knee to George Floyd.
If Chauvin didn't go to jail, that's no justice.
You're right.
I feel there was justice that his life got taken away from him, like in terms of career, everything, and he's going to jail for a long time.
You're right.
Yeah.
I wouldn't want to see him killed.
Yeah, it's not to use a shitty example, black or white.
Like, it's not black or white.
There is a semblance of justice or getting even in seeing someone convicted.
There's no question.
Like, yeah, that's a perfect example.
Or even like one of these scumbag businessmen or like a pharmaceutical guy ends up going away for a long time because he was pumping a bad drug.
You're like, I feel like there's a little bit of justice here, especially from us on the outside.
But I imagine George Floyd's family is like, kill that motherfucker.
So justice maybe is more emotional vindication.
Like, I feel vindicated that you went to jail for what you did.
It doesn't have to be even, but you need to fucking go to jail for what you did.
That's fucking crazy.
There's also a difference between placating the society and the people that were directly agreeing.
Effective.
For them, emotional vindication is kill that motherfucker.
What are you talking about?
But then should those people be the ones that write laws for what justice is?
You know what I mean?
Because obviously the person that's aggrieved is going to be the most emotional about it and want the biggest punishment.
Yes.
But is that going to be the thing that actually satisfies society?
And what allows society to function in the most normal and safe way.
Because if we just start chopping off legs because somebody hits you in a car and you had to get your leg chopped off, shit could get wild out here.
Right?
I mean, there's a reason probably why they've moved away from the Hammurabi's code shit.
It is interesting.
I just wonder what happens to the people that have the bloodlust for Ghelane and Epstein.
Like, what happens when they find out that that bloodlust was really for the elites?
Or do you think they've already understood that and reconciled that and they knew that they were like kind of being phony and caring about these Women or young girls who are child sex trafficked.
I think it's kind of both.
Yeah, that's what I would say.
Just because you don't necessarily know the victim or like identify with them, I don't know if that necessarily means you don't care about them or like the justice system operating on a functional level.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like, if I see a random dude get punched in Times Square, like, I don't know that guy, and also don't really like care about him.
Right.
But the guy that punched him, I'm like, I hope something bad happens to him.
Yeah, that's just like, I don't want him to just be walking around.
Yeah.
Partially for fear that someone could just punch me.
But like.
That fear could also play in with kids, random kids getting scooped up and taking them out.
Hell yeah.
I got kids.
But if it's not him that you know gets arrested, like the fact that you could just do that to someone and nothing happens to you.
That's terrifying.
That affects everything.
Yeah, it's unsettling.
Like, what society do we live in where somebody can traffic children and then nothing happens?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
So many people have kids.
Like the majority of people have kids.
And then the powers that be, even if they're involved in it, have a responsibility to maintain the calm of society.
So let's say that there's the powers that be.
Let's just say the conspiracy are true and the upper echelon of society was orchestrating this ring so that they could get information on these certain people and then manipulate them to their will.
But once you start to see people go, yo, we're not cool with you guys letting child fuckers off.
Yeah.
And there's enough unrest within society.
You got to either kill Epstein or you got to lock up Ghillane just so we're all calm.
Right.
Because we're going to start acting wild out here if you're just letting people fuck kids and get away with it.
That's what I was going to say.
It's like, I think if she got off, you would have saw how much people care.
Like, there'd be protests.
Like, there'd be a whole shit would have gone off if she got off.
Yeah.
But the fact that she was guilty on basically everything, it's like, all right, finally, what we thought was going to happen happened.
And I think people care a little bit less.
Mind you, they're both disgusting.
It's a little less icky when it's a woman with your little girls.
It's yo, it is true.
It is true.
It's a little less icky.
Yeah, it is true.
And I wonder if women also feel that.
I think so.
Like, you think girls are also like, it's a little bit less.
Yeah.
Also, we don't know as much about Ghillain or what she did versus with Epstein.
Right.
Like, we know Epstein was like, yo, fucking jerk me off.
Like, I'm going to have sex with you.
All that shit.
Yeah.
And yeah, I think that that point's true.
Like, it's psychologically way weirder when it's a guy.
Yeah.
It's more disturbing.
It's more gross.
It's more vile.
Yeah.
When it's a girl, even though I feel she might have been worse because she was the one grooming them, getting them comfortable.
Logically, yes.
To bring that to get you here the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So then her brother comes out and says she's not going to reveal any of the details of those involved in the sex trafficking network in exchange for like a plea deal or a more lenient sentence.
This just happened?
This is like over the weekend.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
So he comes out and says that.
So now people are speculating like, okay, is he saying that?
So first off, she didn't say anything beforehand because my understanding is that if she says, I'm innocent, I had nothing to do with this.
I was a victim, but here's who actually did it.
That it could potentially implicate her more directly in the crimes.
That, oh, you knew about all this and didn't say anything earlier, blah, blah, blah.
And that she was maintaining her innocence.
She's like, I'm totally, ah, that's interesting.
So you're saying she's saying, I'm totally innocent.
She can't have information since she's totally innocent.
Once she gives information, she's an accessory to the crime.
Then she can be convicted on, yeah, even just accessory, shit like that.
But she was trying to get nothing.
And then now that she has all these charges, right before sentencing, it's like, okay, does she come out and now rat on people?
Her brother's saying no.
And people are assuming, like, if Epstein got killed, she could easily get killed.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, because this is what I didn't understand.
I was asking you guys on the phone yesterday.
I was like, why didn't she squeal?
She has all the leverage to get the deal before she's convicted.
Now that she's convicted, she got no leverage.
That's if they have an amazing case against you.
Like if you are like in a gang and they find you with like weapons and they like can place you out of murder, then it's in your best interest to be like, All right, give me the plea.
I did this shit, but like, and I know they're going to get me because they got all this evidence.
I'm assuming that her legal team was like, they don't have enough evidence on it.
Oh, so they thought that they had a shot of beating it.
Yeah.
So they're like, keep your mouth shut until it happens.
And then right before sentencing, if you're going to do something to it, then we got the plea in the back pocket.
Ah.
So now what they're going to do is go back and they're going to say, listen, we got all these fucking people.
Yeah, I was involved.
You were right.
You got me.
Boom.
But I'm going to drop a dime on all these motherfuckers.
So now they're reaching out to the powers that be and they're saying, hey, how sweet a deal can you get me before everybody knows you fuck children?
That's if she wants to put her life at risk.
Because if Epstein got killed, she can get killed.
Yeah.
But don't you think they're going to kill this bitch regardless now?
Nah.
If the brother's coming out immediately saying, hey, she's not going to tell.
I'm talking everybody knows.
It's a chance to kill you.
She's not going to kill.
Oh, so she's putting out the smoke signal.
Like, yo, yo, to my good.
You're safe.
And not only should you not kill me, get me out of here.
Like, I'm going to get 20 years, but you're tight with the DA or whatever.
Like, get me out of good behavior in 10.
Eight.
And we don't even got to make a big thing of it.
Give me the fucking 20 years.
Yeah.
I'll be out in 10.
Some people talk about it.
But by then, there'll be other shit going on.
Let me live.
Oh, shit.
I think her hardest decision was not naming names beforehand because, like you said, she had the most leverage.
She could have probably worked a deal out where she could have got immunity, even if she's admitting to being an accomplice to it.
She could have got immunity.
They could have still killed her.
But they would have probably killed her being outside.
Now she has to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life.
So she's like, hey, I'll just take these years.
I'll do the time.
I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
And then you guys make sure you get me out a little bit earlier.
And I know we've spoken about it before, but a lot of people believe that her father, who was a spy for, I think, the Israeli government, was Mossad, right?
And was killed.
They say was killed.
He fell off a boat or something like that.
So she knows it could happen.
Her boy, her husband, Jeffrey Epstein, like, yeah.
In jail.
He gets killed.
I don't know if he was killed Mark.
I think he committed suicide.
Yeah, yeah.
He fell off.
On suicide watching.
Dangerous to make these claims, Mark.
Yeah.
What evidence do you have to back that, dude?
That's a good point.
Damn.
Sleeping guards.
Okay.
Yeah.
So the thing that I'm also curious about with her is if, because people speculate that she and Epstein were working for a government.
So like working with Saudis, working with Mossad, working for the U.S. government.
Yeah.
Like, was it just him as like a standalone operator trying to like gain money and influence or was he working in conjunction with like a bigger institution?
Interesting.
And if she goes out and rats and is like, yo, the Saudis put me up to it.
Like, because Epstein apparently had like a fake Saudi passport like in his house or whatever.
So if all of a sudden she says that, like, does that create bigger geopolitical tension?
Where it's like, yeah, we got to go to war.
Well, that's the thing why you might need to keep that shit in the tuck because it might be better globally for us.
That's where the government's got to go.
Do we like, do we push her to squeal?
And then that potentially makes us look like fucking idiots that we got had by all these other governments.
Keeping Secrets Quiet00:04:02
Yeah.
Or do we just say it was just her and Epstein, keep it quiet, and then try to give her a deal later?
That's the thing with JFK's murder or assassination.
Like some people believe that it was the Russians.
And it's better for our history when Russia didn't kill a president.
Yeah.
People say Trump got elected because of Russian interference.
Right.
It's like, even if they were buying Facebook ads or whatever, which I think is like completely possible, people are saying like, yeah, we just got to say no's.
It's better for our history that that didn't happen.
Because we can't make it look like these other countries are one killing a head of state.
Like that's, you've got to go to war for that.
Yeah.
Like that is war guaranteed.
And we have nukes and they have nukes, so it's going to get messy.
So that's why you've got to keep it quiet.
So if they find out it's Saudi or they find out Israeli, then we have to have like back channel conversations.
Maybe it's Russian, whatever.
Who the fuck knows?
We look weak just getting oil, getting trade deals, getting all that shit.
Interesting.
Maybe it's China.
Who fucking knows?
But we got to find that out under the table for our respect globally.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
And if people believe that all these U.S. officials are compromised, like, how can you operate in good faith with all these other governments?
Being like, yeah.
We're sending Hillary Clinton to go do this deal.
Like, what do they have on her?
Right.
Can she even negotiate with the head of Russia?
Does she even negotiate with any of these countries?
Interesting.
I mean, who's even looking into this?
How do we know that the people looking into this aren't as equally corrupted?
Yeah.
Ooh, yeah.
Yeah, this is messy and sad.
When you think about this, like, it's just sad.
The whole thing is just sad.
Yeah.
The action is sad.
The fact there's not going to be any real like stop to it or justice, probably.
That's sad.
It's just a sad fucking thing.
It feels a bit hopeless.
Yeah.
Her husband.
Really?
Yeah, Maxwell had a husband, and she just, he just left her.
Just now?
Just now.
For like the Pilates instructor or something?
Yeah, for a yoga teacher.
Okay.
That's a win.
That's a win, bro.
That's a win, though.
I mean, he stayed with her through this whole thing.
Yeah.
That's wild.
He must have believed her.
Yeah.
Or thought that she would kill his ass.
Wow.
Well, she's about to be free.
Yeah.
Like, if he got off, now he can leave you for the Pilates instructor because you can't do nothing.
You locked up, bitch.
Right?
Like, what you going to do with your problems now, baby?
Exactly.
Figure your shit out.
Yeah.
Damn, he did over the phone, too.
Well, I mean, he can't go there.
Yeah.
Come on.
That's a legend.
Even if it's face-to-face, it's over a phone.
Yeah, it's going to be a little bit more.
Yeah, man.
Fuck all that.
I'm doing this shit from home, dude.
Yeah, bro.
Remote.
Fuck all that.
That breaking up in person shit for who?
Why we've been wasting both of our times?
I could write you a letter, bitch.
You lucky I called you.
Yeah, it don't make it any better.
No girl's more happy because you did it in person.
That shit is like, press one for this collective.
Pay for it.
Pay for it.
