Neil Young battles Joe Rogan and Spotify over misinformation, prompting hosts to mock his discography ignorance while listing famous Neils and speculating on a Louis Armstrong moon conspiracy. The conversation shifts to Jake Paul's alleged Endeavor investment, which hosts dismiss as a publicity stunt, before analyzing potential fights against Ngannou or Logan Paul. Ultimately, the segment highlights Paul's rapid villain-to-hero transition, questioning the authenticity of his influence over Dana White and the public's shifting desires for his defeat.

Keep Neil On, Bro00:10:33
What up, people?
Sheltie here, and you guys are about to listen to a clip from our weekly Patreon episode.
If you want to sign up to our Patreon, support the flagrancy, support what we are doing.
Completely uncensored, flagrant content.
You go to patreon.com slash flagrant2.
With no more interruptions, here is the exclusive clip.
Neil Young, Rogan, beef.
Yes, if you want to call it that.
Yeah, Neil Young basically said, if Rogan's going to be on Spotify giving out misinformation with all these doctors, I don't want my music on Spotify.
So it's either me or him.
And this is the perfect example of what we're talking about, how people live in their own bubbles.
You know, like if Alec Baldwin can think that he's the most famous, successful actor in the world, then Neil Young can think anybody gives a flying fuck about his music.
I can't name one Neil Young song.
Yesterday, when I heard about the story, I was so upset because I thought Sweet Caroline was a Neil Young song.
No, no.
It's a Neil Diamond song.
Okay?
So I don't know a single Neil Young song.
I don't care about Neil Young.
I never thought about Neil.
Is that Crosby Stills Nash and Young?
Are those hockey players, dude?
I have no fucking clue what you just said.
Oh, and Young's not with them.
No, you are Young is part of it.
I'm correct.
Yeah.
You said it crazy.
Ask Face White question.
You said it crazy.
You said it crazy.
Ask Facebook.
Who's your favorite Crosby Neils Nash and King song?
What did you say?
Sweet Caroline.
No.
That's Neil Diamond.
That's Neil Diamonds.
Okay, Neil Diamond saying that.
So I don't know a single Crosby and Nash Stills and Young song.
I just know that's a group of four people.
And then there's also Neil Young.
Is it the same Young?
Same Young.
Bro, let's put him on the list of Neils, where he is.
Okay.
Okay.
Diamond.
Neil LeGrasse Tyson.
Neil, fuck him.
Neil.
Armstrong.
Armstrong.
Okay.
Okay.
On the moon, first person on the moon.
Bet wearing this watch right here.
Okay.
The Omega.
There you go.
The Omega.
Neil Armstrong, the Omega.
Okay.
Number two, Neil.
Diamond, probably.
Diamond.
Gotta be Neil Diamond.
Number three, Neil Patrick Harris.
Neil Patrick Harris.
Neil Patrick Harris.
Neil Brennan.
Neil Brennan.
Jeez.
Neil.
Neil Jordan.
Who's that?
Directed Interview with the Vampire?
Nope.
Neil Gayman.
Who's that?
He wrote books.
Good Omens is a show that just came out.
There's another one.
Fuck it.
I'm about to nope him from the list.
Yeah, sorry.
Neil Gayman, not there.
Colin Kaepernick famously kneeled.
Great Neil.
Well done.
Great Neil.
I'm glad you didn't say the other guy.
Come on.
Come on now.
Colin Kaepernick, huge Neil.
Huge Neil.
Very true.
Tim Tebow, another great Neil.
That's a good point.
Another great Neil.
The thinking man.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Atlas.
Not Atlas.
Oh, that's got the Earth on him.
Rodan.
Yep.
Rodan.
Other Neils.
DeGrasse Tyson, we could probably throw in there.
Come on.
Put the goat in there.
Put the goat in there.
We'll put I Hate Him, Negative Nancy, but he is more famous than Neil Young for sure.
Can you put a family of famous Neils?
Okay, go.
Neil Armstrong's brother.
What's his name?
Louie.
Dude, Louis Armstrong, this is an interesting fact.
What's that?
Louis Armstrong was actually supposed to go to space.
No.
Really?
He was the one that was supposed to go to space.
And there was a mix-up?
What happened?
Mix-up.
They had, it ended up being Neil Armstrong.
How?
Wow.
Wow.
This is actually like a weird story.
A lot of people don't know this.
But so Louis Armstrong is black.
Yeah.
Okay.
Everyone knows it.
Yeah.
I did not.
I was unaware.
They were worried they would lose him in space.
Oh, my gosh.
They were worried they would lose him in space.
Because you have to swim through space to get the jumping, dude.
I mean, if you saw how high those white kids jumped on the moon, they're like, we don't have a chance to pull him back down.
Right.
We're going to have to do something.
We're going to have to have some sort of belt or leash or something attached him to the ship because if he takes one step, the guy's going to be on Jupiter.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Is that why they sent only white people to the moon for a long time?
Yes.
100%.
100%.
And you think they were also more okay with, like, if white people die, that's fine.
Yes.
Yeah.
It would be heroic.
Yeah, I think they were trying to do it to protect some black people.
I think that black lives mattered back then.
Clearly mattered back then.
That's a good point.
We can't risk one of the greatest musicians of our time on this silly little space race.
Yeah, stupid.
You know, they should have sent Neil Young.
They absolutely should have sent him.
Expendable.
Expendable.
Absolutely.
Hair wispy.
Hair is wispy.
Man, count the hairs on his head.
All wisps.
Dude, his hair looks like an Asian man's chin.
Look at this fucking guy, dude.
Uh-uh.
Yeah, he looks like a curmudgeon.
He do look hella like Donald Trump, actually.
Yeah, why is he so side-by-side?
Dude, he looks like that teacher with Mad Eye Moody.
Yeah, he looks like Mad Eye Moody.
It does look like Mad Eye Moody.
He's gonna muff it a little bit.
100%, dude.
This guy stinks.
Okay.
I just don't know why he thought he was gonna win.
There's no way he thought he went.
Spotify will take Joe Rogan's catalog down and keep his.
When they got his catalog, probably for free, and they paid nine figures for Joe Rogan's catalog.
Bro, they literally pay Neil Young pennies when some old lady accidentally taps a fucking song thinking it's Neil Diamond.
When some old lady pulls him up on her fucking June bug phone.
What is that?
A big-ass jitterbug.
Oh my God.
I thought you said some racist fucking shit right there.
No, no.
Jitterbug.
Big ass phone.
I don't know what that is.
I've never heard of it.
You've never seen a jitterbug?
Never seen a jitterbug.
You'll see one of those.
What is it?
It's awesome.
Oh, is that an old joke to me, Mark?
Is that an old joke to me?
Nice old joke to me.
Just old man.
By the time you need to get it.
He's trying to make a wedding world.
What?
By the time he needs one, double head for his wedding gift.
Yeah, maybe that'd be nice.
Okay.
Point is that Neil Young is completely useless now.
Yeah, there's got to be a play, right?
There's no way he thought he was going to win.
He's going to start a movement of people trying to stand up against corporations that they don't agree with.
I think he's trying to start a little slow clap.
He's the Rosa Parks of Spotify.
Interesting.
I'm leaving immediately.
I'm off the bus.
I'm off the bus.
Where are you going?
I'm off the bus.
Name a single Neil Young song.
Now go.
Crosby Steals Nashing Young's.
That's not a song.
I wish I had someone to throw you.
They don't have a song called Crosby Stills Nashing Young?
No, that's not.
Right again?
Forever Young?
No.
Young Frankenstein.
That's Alpha Phil.
No, no, no, not that either.
Young at heart.
Young at heart.
Young and restless.
You're so close.
Heart of heart.
Young and restless.
Heart of gold.
Young and wild and free.
Young, wild, and free as fire.
He also rode something and it had no name.
Oh.
Horse with no name.
Horse with no name.
Rocking in a free world.
Old man's actually a good song.
That's rocking in a free world.
How free?
How free a world?
Maybe not too free.
Maybe a world where certain people, specific people, dictate what information can go on Spotify.
That doesn't seem very free to me.
What a piece of shit, dude.
Now, some people point out that Neil Young survived polio as a child.
Other people point out that he might be a death eater and he's actually inside a case.
And if we look inside the case, the real Neil Young will be in there and be like, no, let fucking Joe Rogan do his thing.
That must be what happened.
Absolutely.
That's got to be what happened.
100%.
You don't think that maybe it was going to be a problem?
Dude, the fact that his body was riddled with polio.
I mean, like, literally, like, Voldemort when he went to Hogwarts with polio.
Tom Riddle, guys.
Guys, guys, come on, guys.
Come on, guys.
It can't just be me and Miles.
Oh, yeah.
Can't just be me and Miles out here.
Miles, did you get it?
Of course, he got it immediately, bro.
Sky don't play games.
No, but the fact he was riddled with polio as a kid does explain why his face looks like shit.
Does explain that.
Like, if you look at his face, your first reaction is like, shit.
You look like.
Whoa, that is my first thought.
Whoa.
What happened here?
Yeah.
Horse with no name is a fun song.
Is it?
That's a fun song.
Sing it.
And then you come to the valley on a horse with no name.
I don't know the rest.
Oh, that one's, yeah, that one's like, I want to slap.
Slaps.
That slaps.
I'll give him that.
Yeah.
They need to keep Neil on, bro.
What other songs does he have?
Cosby Steels National.
Old man, look at my life.
That's him?
I don't know what that was.
Nah, that one's fire.
I don't know that one.
That was kind of hot.
Because it sounds like, old man, look at her.
That sounds like that sounds like it sucks.
But how he sounds.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That sucks.
Whatever you just sang sucked.
No, that was a good one.
Nah, bro.
Ain't no horse with no name.
Oh, man, look at my.
Hey, you know, we could get these two songs we like?
iTunes for 99 cents.
Yeah, that's a good point.
You think that's worth Spotify being like, hey, Joe, get out of here.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I mean, buddy, where was your leverage?
Where is he?
His leverage is that he doesn't care about streaming and like getting money from Spotify.
Okay, and then he off Spotify.
Yeah.
Spotify made the choice.
Bye-bye.
Exactly.
So he wasn't on Spotify for a super long time because he was like, oh, the streaming is unfair.
And then he acquiesced, didn't he?
And then he was like, all right, fine, I'll put it on.
Yeah.
And now he's trying to back out with morality again.
Get out of here, buddy.
Yeah, same dispute.
It's the bricks.
What if this becomes a trend and now actual artists that people care about start doing that?
Won't happen.
Who's the first artist that would?
Wait, what?
Who's the first artist that would join along?
Well, you know who did this first?
Garth Brooks.
I don't think he's available on any streaming.
I think you have to buy his financial play, right?
It's not a vaccine play.
Yeah, I'm saying like a political.
Oh.
Like a Joe Rogan statement.
I don't think artists will do this.
Nobody is canceling their Spotify because Neil Young is off.
It's just not, you know what it would take for me to cancel my Spotify?
I don't think there's a single artist that they got off Spotify.
I'd be like, I'm canceling my subscription.

Now let's get back to this exclusive Patreon clip.
You can watch the whole episode and many more at patreon.com slash flagrant2.
I need y'all to explain this whole Jake Paul Endeavor thing because everybody's making it out like Jake Paul is an owner of Endeavor.
I don't know.
That's the thing.
They don't know how much he owns.
Let me just explain.
So it's like WME, William Morris Endeavor, is an agency that bought the UFC.
Yeah.
So he invested in that agency.
It's a publicly traded agency.
So apparently he invested enough where he has like some seats.
I think that's what he claimed, or like his partner claimed, is that he would get four board seats.
He gets four board seats.
I don't know how much you have to invest.
It seems like you have to invest something significant.
Maybe we can look into that a little bit more.
And the way it's being positioned is because of this, he's Dana's boss because Dana is technically managing the company for William Morris Endeavor.
Now, I can't fathom that he was able to buy enough of William Morris Endeavor where he could have influence in the company.
Yeah.
Now, technically, everybody who owns that stock is an owner of William Morris Endeavor.
And if you want to say Dana's boss, then sure.
But I can't fathom that they won, that one, he could afford to buy that much of it.
And two, that they would even allow it.
They got to know that that's going to piss off Dana.
So what could have happened is the guy he partnered with has a lot of money, bought a lot.
You put a little bit in.
I'll say we partnered.
Doesn't matter how much you partnered.
But I'm curious how many board seats there are.
And is four a significant share?
Or is there 100 board seats and four is nothing?
Interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah, if there's a thousand board members and you have four seats.
Who gives a shit?
But if there's 20 board seats and you got four of them, oh, now you're doing something.
Now you got 20% of this thing.
So he partnered with a guy.
He partnered with a guy.
His business partner had a series of tweets about how this is the best way to move the company forward in the long term, is paying people more, et cetera.
But he could have just brought Jake Paul in and been like, yo, let's make some noise.
You're going to get this good publicity.
My name's going to get out there in the same way that owning a team puts you in a, like if you own a sports franchise, your name is suddenly a very exclusive name.
You get that notoriety.
Righty's a billionaire.
They all want that.
So, hey, I'm going to get some notoriety off you, get some publicity.
You partner.
Just give me $100,000.
Give me a million.
Give me whatever.
And then we'll say we both own it and we're both fighting for this thing.
It's mutually beneficial.
Interesting.
But I am curious how much Ford board seats is.
Yeah, we have to figure that out.
Another thing is, what do you think about Jake Paul versus Francis Nganu?
Oh, yeah, that'd be crazy.
That would be good.
Why?
Because Jake Paul can probably outbox Francis, but if Francis hits him once, it's over.
Now, Francis used to be a boxer because of a boxing background, so maybe he'd be good.
But still, that'd be a crazy fight.
Yeah, I mean, I think Jake loses that.
I mean, that's Jake's last fight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get paid, lose, be done.
Yeah.
And it's actually kind of like win-win for everybody because the payday would be absolutely fucking massive for both people.
And then it would put Francis back in Dana White's good graces because he got Jake out of here.
What about Francis versus Logan?
Would that be more fun?
I think Logan has to be in the position where he's the hero.
He's the face, right?
So whoever he fights, we want to see him get knocked out.
And they don't have to be a person that's an actual boxer.
It could be like a YouTube celeb or something like that, but somebody that we just don't like.
And then Logan comes and saves the day.
I think he's much better presented as that.
Whereas Jake is the villain, and people are paying to see him get knocked out.
So who's the person that you actually think is going to do it now?
And Francis would probably knock him out.
I can't.
Yeah.
And Francis has a boxing background.
I don't know UFC at all.
I thought he just wasn't UFC.
Well, he started as a boxer and then learned the other things.
Oh, shit.
So he could be in UFC.
Interesting, though.
Yeah, I can't imagine that like Jake Paul's acquisition is actually the way it's being presented.
It's also like he's not even speaking out that much.
It's mostly his business partner that's like putting out all the information about it.
Yeah, there's no way.
Yeah.
But yeah, and I can't imagine that, yeah, like you were saying, that they would be cool with it knowing the public beef between Dana.
They know how important Dana is to that company.
Yeah.
You know, he's the ambassador.
Yeah.
Like there's certain companies that have a CEO that you just don't know anything about, but he's part of the celebrity CEO brigade.
Yeah.
You know, it's him, Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and whoever, but they understand the value in being famous and how you can use that value to build your company.
And he does it probably better than any Elon's probably the best, but like Elon's the best.
Yeah, he does it better than most.
So it's like having Dana be pissed off and then removed, like you're crazy if you do that.
Matter of fact, you got to beg him to stay once his contract is over.
Yeah.
You have to bet you need him.
What I'm assuming happened is he probably has like either some VC he's working with or his business partner that has just like a bankroll, invested a bunch of money into WME.
And then now they're just using that story as like, you know, like a leverage play to Dana and like trying to piss him off.
And then the board seats thing is disputed back and forth.
Yeah, let's wait to see that.
I haven't seen anyone confirm that from like a reputable source.
Yeah.
I think he just threw that out there.
And they maybe were like in talks to like negotiate that or like he put a message out like, yo, we want board seats.
Nobody cares about the truth.
The lies more interesting.
Yeah.
And that is, yeah.
You could buy one share of a company and be invited to their annual meeting.
Yeah.
So kind of a smart like social play, I think.
Oh, brilliant.
I mean, he just knows how to do it.
Jake has gone from heel to hero in legit 30 days.
Yeah.
He knocked out, what's his name, Woodley, a month ago.
And everybody hated him, whatever.
And then all of a sudden he pivoted to, you know what?
I just want these fighters to get paid better.
And he knocked out Woodley legit.
So you're like, oh, this guy can box for real.
And now he's fighting for fighter pay.
Good for him.
Yeah.
Heel to hero in 30 days.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah, you don't want him on your ass, especially if you're not in the social game as well.
No.
Like, that motherfucker is just relentless.
Yeah.
Non-stop cooking up content on your fucking ass.
Yeah.
So I'm curious if Dana even responds.
I think he's realized that his time responding is past him.
Yeah.
And I think he's realizing that like by responding, he only blows it up more.
Yeah.
So just keep on putting on great fight cards.
Keep a conversation about the company and not reacting to these things.
And if I'm him, I'm telling all the journalists that show up, don't ask me about this motherfucker.
I don't want to answer any questions about this.
Now, I don't know if he has that kind of control, but because he can't avoid it because then he looks like he's in his feelings.
