Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh dissect a Boeing assassination conspiracy, Arizona's revived 1864 abortion law, and Trump's hush money trial. They debate vaccine skepticism, the Drake vs. Rick Ross rap beef, and an escalating Israel-Iran conflict triggered by an April 1st airstrike killing seven IRGC officials. Analyzing Iran's $6–$10 million retaliatory drone attack against Israel's $1.6 billion defense spend, they argue this financial attrition strategy risks World War III while Netanyahu deflects from Gaza. The episode concludes with UFC 300 highlights and a Larry David anecdote. [Automatically generated summary]

Fertilized Eggs and State Rights00:09:15
What's up everybody?
Welcome to Flagrant.
And today we are going to begin with a absolutely phenomenal conspiracy that I heard over the weekend from the good folks over there.
The ninjas are butterflies.
They came to the show in Jacksonville, man.
We're chopping it up backstage in the green room.
I get them all sitting down.
I'm like, I need some heat.
Don't give me these like B or C level conspiracies.
I need the number one shit right now.
He goes, okay, you've been hearing a lot about the Boeing planes falling apart.
The doors falling off.
The planes aren't working.
The whistleblower that might have gotten murked.
And the public has been almost desensitized to Boeing planes falling apart.
When I'm in a plane flying right now, I'm like, is this Boeing?
Like, I'm concerned.
And if a Boeing plane does fall apart, that wouldn't blow my mind.
Well, you know whose jet happens to be a Boeing?
Take a while.
Yes.
I don't.
Trump.
That's how they get him out of here.
If they can't, that's what he said.
I was like, yo, because if, God forbid, God forbid, God forbid.
God forbid.
Maybe we lose the great one.
God forbid.
We lose the next press.
But if, for example, Trump's plane went down and it was a Boeing, people wouldn't immediately go, oh, they killed him.
They would go, of course it did.
It's a Boeing.
These planes are going down nonstop.
Yeah.
So they are they inflating the fact that these Boeing planes are falling apart.
Are bowling planes falling apart more than Airbus?
We don't even know.
We just right now expect Boeing to fall the fuck apart.
And if they can't get him out of here and it looks like he's going to win the election, he has to fly to Iowa or something.
Plane goes down.
See you later.
Trump.
We blame Bowen.
Wow.
That's heat.
Admit that's heat.
Hold on.
Let me add.
Let me.
Didn't Boeing get bailed out back in the day?
So the government could be like, hey, we bailed out.
You always fuck out.
You guys bail us out.
You're going to take a little hick, but we already gave you your money.
Yeah.
This is the beautiful thing about conspiracy theories is it's basically it's comedy without humor, but it's connecting two things that definitely have nothing to do with one another and making it seem as if they do, and you're like, oh my god, and the pressure is off.
To be funny, you just have to make it somewhat logical.
Okay um, listen guys, what else is going on in the world?
We got abortion.
They're taking it away in Arizona like what's, what's the vibe?
So Arizona had a law in 1864.
Okay, that abortion was illegal, no exceptions for incest or at any time from the moment of conception, and the only exception that was allowed is that the mother's life is in danger.
This law is from like 60 years before Arizona was even a state.
I think 1912 Arizona became a state, so it's an old law.
That also to be to give context and I don't know how much.
Uh, back then, moment of conception, they found out much later.
They didn't have the technology that we have now to find out.
You pee on a stick and then you find out three weeks in.
So that's, that's one.
So a month, they find out a month.
Yeah, I heard, maybe even later.
I think I heard a couple months.
But what if you miss this period?
Maybe, but yeah, you could presume.
So that law was uh, there was an injunction on that law when Roe Versus Wade passed, meaning this law is on pause.
Yeah, so 1977, whenever Roe Versus Wade got passed, then that law, there's an injunction.
And then since then pro-life groups have kind of been working to chip away at abortion right.
And then, I think in 2002, they passed a 15 week Banned.
So you can't get an abortion after 15 weeks.
I don't, I think there were exceptions for rape and incest.
I don't remember that part exactly.
But then this Roe gets overturned with Donald Trump, who said, I'm going to overturn Roe versus Wade.
I think it should be up to the states.
That's what he has said since 2016.
He didn't flip-flop on this.
Since 2016, this should be a states' rights issue.
We want to overturn Roe.
I will put pro-life judges in the Supreme Court so that we can overturn Roe versus Wade and it can be a state's rights issue.
Then in 2021 or 2022, Arizona passes a law that says abortion is illegal if like the child has like a genetic defect or you can't.
And then also it gives human rights to fertilized embryos, eggs, fetuses.
Like from that moment it's fertilized, this is a human life.
From fertilization.
From fertilization, from fertilized eggs, embryos, fetuses.
So I believe, yeah, same thing.
I'm just regurgitating what I read, but also it seems like the same thing logically.
So that law, I think.
The reason why I say that is because from fertilization to the embryonic stage, a bunch of shit needs to happen where you lose a lot of eggs.
Yeah.
So that's why it's difficult for the fertility clinics to stay open if they're held responsible for those lives.
And I think that's why it's a tricky thing for them.
It's like it says fertilized eggs and embryos, which again, the fetus is very different than it would basically cause the fertilization clinics to close down because they don't want to hold the liability of 75% of your eggs.
Oh, yeah, and they're liable for all those deaths.
Exactly.
Okay, fuck.
So there's multiple stages that these fertilized eggs go through before you can implant them.
And through each stage, some people lose up to like 50%.
Okay.
So if the clinic is held responsible since each fertilized egg is a life, they'll go, well, nobody's going to ensure this if we're held responsible as if like we actually killed one of these fertilized eggs.
So in a way, the law gets rid of fertility clinics.
Right.
Yeah.
Whew.
That's tricky.
Okay.
Go on.
Then the Supreme Court makes a ruling that says that 1864 law actually has precedent over all other abortion laws over Roe versus Wade, over the 2002 15-week abortion ban.
So from now on, from the moment of conception, no exceptions for illegal unless the mother's life is in danger.
Now Trump, and this could be a very smart pivot, or it could be what he meant.
That's the House of Dragons rule.
Where it's like, basically, if the baby's going to kill the mom, you can make a choice.
Yes.
Got it.
Okay.
Okay.
Then you can do it.
Which makes complete sense.
Now, Trump, again, maybe this is what he always meant, or maybe it's a very smart pivot.
He said, hey, when I said states' rights, I meant that citizens of the state should be allowed to vote on it.
Arizona went too far because the Supreme Court ruled on something and didn't put it in the people's hands.
This is an Arizona Supreme Court ruling.
I think that's fair.
Which makes sense.
Now, it could be a very smart pivot of like...
Especially the judges are not appointed by the people.
So it's not going to be a reflective of the Democratic process.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't like that at all.
Now, maybe when he said states' rights, he was saying in 2016, maybe what he was selling is by any means necessary up to the state.
Maybe that's what he said.
But it would be changed by the state.
If the state wants to change, then that law should change.
And if I had to guess, Arizonians, I think they want to change that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Knowing a couple of Arizonians.
Yeah.
I think they want.
I think they want the scoops.
So the reason this has become such a touch point is because Arizona is the biggest swing state that has such an intense ban.
I think Florida has passed and Georgia, Florida is going to pass on May 1st in force, and Georgia has passed six-week abortion bans.
So anything after six weeks?
Yeah, and I believe that's snug, bro.
That's snug.
That's very snug.
That's snug.
Because your period can be a little late.
You could also get it right after your period, so it's up to like seven or eight that it takes to sort of kick in and notice.
Yeah, that's snug.
And that's snug.
They were good with that little 15-week or whatever.
15 weeks seems reasonable.
Why would you complain about that?
I don't know.
You should know by then, yo.
I'm sorry.
If you don't know by then.
Yeah, no, 15 weeks seems very reasonable.
15 weeks?
I think most people would find 15 weeks reasonable.
And I think that's what Trump wants to make.
He's saying, I want to make that the national law of 15 weeks.
Which seems reasonable.
So you could even bring it down.
No.
Again, that's...
You can bring it down.
We can bring it down.
Why?
I'm just saying we could.
Here's what we're going to bring it up, though.
We could, but like, you should know.
Like, there are people who, like, they don't.
It's also a tough decision for people to make.
So sometimes you need a little time to think it over.
You might have a vacation plan.
You don't know if it's going to happen.
Can you be honest?
15 is a lot of time to make that.
That's a lot of time.
Sleep on it.
Asleep.
That's a lot of time.
People don't say sleep on it.
Hey, hey, Alex, sleep on this decision for the next 105 days.
Nobody does that.
Sleep on it 100%.
105 days is crazy.
Put it like that.
I just had to reconfigure it.
105 days is crazy.
Yeah, but you don't even know until day 40.
So now that's shrunk to really 60 days.
Yeah, sleep on it.
65 days is crazy.
So I think 15.
You really need 30 days.
You really need 30.
It's like a refund at Best Buy or something.
No, sorry.
You need 30 after the initial 40.
You really need a good 70 days.
10 megawatts.
If we're being honest, 10 makers more.
If we're being honest, you need 7.
You should be able to figure it out within 70.
10 weeks.
That's it.
Look at your man.
Do we got this?
No.
Yes.
Yeah, I think 15 weeks seems reasonable.
I think 10 weeks obviously for incest.
Yeah, so there's no exceptions for incest.
I don't believe Florida, Georgia.
There's 14 states.
Incest and ri, you've got to look at it.
Here's what's very funny.
Mississippi makes an exception for, but not incest.
That's far.
Like, you're really playing into the stereotype of your state.
That's fine.
When you're like, oh, incest, that could be love.
That's fine.
That's far.
Pregnancy Tests Under Republican Rule00:15:22
I like that.
Know your brand.
Know your brands.
I like that a lot.
That's a funny thing.
Is that true?
That's true.
No exception for incest, exception for incest.
Like, could you just go in and be like...
But that's what's funny is there's so much incest that's not for them, they can't bundle it up.
You know what I mean?
Most of the states, it's like, you know, getting your TV and internet at the same time.
It's the same thing.
Most states are probably just like, incest is always ringing.
Yeah, exactly.
So we could just put and then somebody had to go, I think we got to put incest as well because there's some consensuals out there that want to get rid of it.
It is weird you have to put both.
You know what I mean?
It should just be and that falls under the umbrella.
You know what the worst part about it is?
The incest.
You're like, man, I don't think so.
Yeah.
I think it's the right part.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh, brother.
Brother, what's the problem?
Brother, do you know that?
It's a great.
Brother, ooh.
Brother, ooh, disease.
Okay, so.
So this is kind of, I think Democrats only hope to really win the election because they're all saying this is Trump's fault.
Even if Trump didn't push for this, he repealed Roe versus Wade.
He put this in the state's hands.
This is what happens under Republican rule.
Here's the thing.
From what my experience in Arizona, they are like gun Republicans.
Yeah.
In that they're like, hey, we want freedom to have our guns.
We want freedom.
I don't even know if they care that much about like the government encroaching on their businesses and that kind of shit.
Like, I don't even know if they care that much.
I think they're just like, hey, we like guns.
Kind of libertarian vibes.
Yeah, it's a little bit more like even to choose to live out there in the desert.
You're kind of like off the grid.
They're trying to abort themselves a little bit.
I don't think that that extends to, I don't think there's like religious conservative.
So, what they're trying to do is get it put on the ballot.
And if it gets put on the ballot, it will get voted down.
In a heartbeat.
Absolutely.
And I think there are people who are trying to block it from getting put on the ballot on the conservative side.
And this is where Alex was saying it's kind of fracturing the conservative party.
Conservative party is getting more and more pro-choice and less and less like ardently pro-life.
So now you got these guys, though, who are like, no, I did vote for this Republican guy or Trump or whoever because I thought you were going to outlaw abortion.
I'm a single issue voter.
It's the only fucking thing that matters to me.
Now I feel very betrayed that you're suddenly backtracking.
And like, you might not feel it with Trump, but Mitch McConnell was like, I haven't seen anything on this ruling.
I don't know what's going on.
Like, what a fucking non-answer that was.
So you're looking at all of your leaders who you believed in, and you might feel away.
And now there's this kind of fracture, and this issue is so polarizing and such a single-issue thing.
I will vote based on this one thing that there does seem to be a splinter in the Republican Party.
Wow.
And this is the only chance this Democratic Party has to win, I think.
Because they're so fucking weak and they don't stand on anything.
But what I can tell you is you don't want that.
And that's why it's becoming such a touch point and such a media issue.
So what are we doing?
Sorry, go.
The attorney general also said, I'm not prosecuting anybody.
I'm not prosecuting a patient or a provider under this draconian law, she called it.
You're so good at this.
You know so much shit.
When you apply yourself, you fucking know.
I'm really good at that.
I will forget all of this within 48 hours.
But none of that matters because you know it now.
You recorded it.
It was good far.
Yeah.
How do you just know all these things?
You said Mitch McConnell.
I mean, I tune out, but you fucking got it.
Like, it was incredible.
As long as y'all think I know something.
You do know it.
You know all this.
It's amazing.
Yes.
I'm like blown away.
Yes.
Did 1864 and all this other shit?
This is a little bit more wrong, actually, initially.
What was the word?
What was the right thing?
I thought it was 1856 and it was 1864.
I just re-looked it up.
Thank God.
No, you said 1864.
Yeah, I know.
But before in the bathroom break, I was checking my notes and I was like, we don't know.
We know what you delivered to people.
You're right.
You're right.
Yeah, bro.
This is the project delivery.
Kill that shit.
70 days.
Shut up and make some drums.
I think 70 days is it.
70-day abortion ban, very reasonable.
Al, why so much?
What's the latest one you did?
Yo, what was your latest?
In real time, as I was researching it, I was like, Al should have taken this down.
Because there's a pill.
I didn't know there's a pill you could take.
And then I was like, that's probably how he got it every time.
For how many days?
The pill is crazy.
Wait, why is it, wait, It basically makes their body go through pregnancy.
Like it forces the contractions.
And so it's a painful process.
Definitely get the nice little vacuum, scoop, scoop.
But that's most, though.
I think most are chemical abortions.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's the worst one.
Like, it's better to go for the night 12.
Yo, when you talk about it, like, how they get it out of there, it feels like murder.
Doesn't it?
When you talk about how they get it out, you got a mass.
Can we have a mortgage?
We got Check if it's banana.
Bill Maher's getting killed for this vacuum.
Chemical.
Like, it just feels like Bill Maher's getting killed for this.
What's his take?
He's like, yo, honestly, the Republicans who are like, 15-week man, y'all don't make any logical sense to me.
The guys who make sense to me logically are like, life begins at conception.
This is murder.
I do believe it's murder.
I'm okay with it being murder.
And then he says a joke thing that, like, I love Sager.
Yeah, Sager jumped on.
He's like, there's 8 million people in the world.
We could lose a few.
And I think Sager kind of jumped on that, which I think to give Bill Maher grace, he's just trying to be funny.
I kind of look at it like, yeah, it is murder.
I just think it's euthanasia as opposed to like, you know, when you kill somebody who's like terminally ill, that life doesn't.
If your mom doesn't want you 14 weeks in, if she's been going through pregnancy for 14, 15 weeks and is still like, I don't want this motherfucker.
I have doubts that that baby will have a good quality of life.
Maybe it'd be better to just, for all parties involved in society at large.
Yo, you know how like if like if you were on steroids, you get an asterisk on your home runs.
Yeah.
Can't this be like murder with an asterisk?
No.
Because it's not full murder.
I think that's how God looks at it.
Like you didn't murder a full person.
You know what I mean?
Like if you murdered like let's say there was somebody who was like they're they're missing like half their body, right?
Okay, well that's not the example.
No, no, no, no, this will be good.
This is example.
Listen, just get half the time.
No, no, no, no.
Let's say this is missing half their body, right?
And like you, you chopped and like what you were accused of, right?
It's like chopping up their body into pieces and like putting it into a refrigerator.
And then like it came out, it was only half the body, right?
Mini fridge.
Yeah, it would be a one, a smaller fridge, but you'd also be like, all right, he didn't chop up the whole body.
Like it was two chops.
It wasn't even that many chops when you think about it, right?
So it was like you had to do what you had to do.
What I'm trying to say is it's not a full, it's not full murder.
Do you know what I mean?
Like full murder.
And also like after a certain age, like if you're like 85.
Yeah, that's the example.
If you kill someone that's like 109.
Is that full murder?
Or is that an asterisk?
Yeah.
Are you Barry Bonds in it a little bit?
So let's just talk it out.
I could be wrong, but let's just talk it out.
On the deathbed.
On the deathbed.
You know, and you pull the plug.
But they're like, yo, you got a day left.
Full murder?
Not even remotely murder.
But it is.
You got a day left.
You pull the plug.
You had a day.
You have 24 more hours.
Is that murder?
Yeah.
It doesn't work like that.
How does it work?
Like, when they're hooked up to the machine, they can stay alive just based on the machine.
That's what I'm saying.
They have as many days as they want left.
Nope.
Not this situation.
Not this.
Give me a solution, Al.
Yo, save by the bell.
What about that?
Save by the bell.
I don't know.
I'm going to throw it out there.
Listen, what about saved by the bell, Al?
So, Jack, right?
Save by the Bell is this.
We're fighting, right?
All right.
I, just so that you feel comfortable, your ego isn't imprisoned.
You hit me.
Right.
Because we know we're not.
That was condescending.
I know.
That was condescending.
Well, if I was going to let him hit me, I had to be condescending first.
Or I'm very kind and I knock him out.
So it's one or the other.
I'm still having egos.
He would blow his shoulder out if he was.
Yeah, yeah.
We couldn't even get it.
I knew it.
Hypothetical can't even count her because Al and I can't agree who we're doing.
Okay, okay.
So let's say hypothetical, we're fighting.
You knock me out, right?
But the round ends before the 10-second count.
So I'm saved by the bell.
Hold on now.
I was going to say Max Gage.
This job.
No, because he wasn't.
I see.
I see.
I'm saved by the bell.
I see.
Okay, Mark.
I know I understand.
Saved by the bell.
All right.
How does that work for what we're talking about?
I think you got knocked out, dude.
But did I?
Yeah.
Did I?
I don't know if I did.
Technically, I didn't.
I think I'm off to 10 weeks right now.
I think I'm right.
Hold on.
I think I'm right.
It makes mad sense.
Yeah.
It's still partial murder.
No, but no, I'm saying.
You're saved by the bell.
No, I'm saying the murderer got saved by the bell.
The murderer got saved by the bell.
This is Zach Morris' murder.
This is why.
Oh my God.
I threw this out there having thinking that this wasn't going to work and we were going to retrofit it, but it kind of does work.
You're saved by the bell, right?
You as the murderer get saved by the bell when you do it at 10 weeks.
You don't know if that pregnancy would make it all the way.
That's true.
So technically, you are saved by the bell as a murderer.
We can't call you a murderer because we don't know if you would have stayed knocked out or not.
You got saved by the bell.
10 weeks.
Saved by the bell.
Son, whoa, whoa, not 10.
10.
Hey, what is 10?
70 days?
70 days.
Oh, yeah, that's fine.
70 days is tight.
No, You're right.
70 days is fine.
I was thinking when you said 10 weeks, it was six, but it's not.
It's two and a half months.
One month, you miss your period.
Okay, maybe you're going to Vegas.
You're having some fun.
Maybe you didn't have a lot of carbs.
Something's going on.
Two months, you don't get a period.
You're going to start wondering.
Hmm.
Two months, one week, you should be like, all right, pregnancy test.
Now you got seven days.
That's all.
That's all.
I think we might need a little longer.
We might need a little longer.
Wait, wait, wait.
Because the first month is a mulligan.
You know what that is?
You haven't had your period in six weeks.
I do know it, but thank God.
If you haven't had your period in six weeks, you're not going to be like, hey, I might be pregnant.
No girl's going to be like, I should take a test.
No, because they didn't eat that week.
Sometimes their periods don't come.
Yeah.
Sometimes dead ass, their periods don't come.
But they could take a pregnancy test anyway.
But they wouldn't do it.
Why would they?
Because they missed a period.
Because it's a 10-week abortion ban.
Son, that's important.
But you don't take pregnancy tests for the same reason we don't take an STD test.
You don't want to find out?
You know what I mean?
They're too busy having fun.
This herpie is forming.
I'm telling you, test or not.
But think about it.
For that two months, they're too busy having fun because you don't have any period during that time where she's a little, you know.
She's outside.
But she's been nutted in.
She's all happy.
She's been nutted in multiple times.
She didn't even know she'd been nutted in.
She was partying.
She didn't know.
It was like the LA was fucking like whatever.
It's fuck.
Freak off.
It's fuck time.
It's a freak off.
It's a Diddy party.
You're just getting thrown around.
How many weeks do you think they need?
Say again?
How many weeks do you think they need?
Let's talk it out because now we know 70 is really too little.
It's too little.
Based on the psychology of a whore.
Think about it.
You getting thrown around like a trout at a fish market in Seattle.
You don't know who's nutted in you or who isn't.
Right?
You come 70 days.
70 days later, you're like, I should get a pregnancy test.
Or 60 days later.
60 days plus seven.
67 days later, you get, I should take a pregnancy test.
You take a pregnancy test.
Oh, shit, you're pregnant.
Damn.
You don't know if the guy who nutted in you was rich or not.
You got to figure that out.
You can't figure that out in three days.
What if he's in a draft class?
You don't know if he's about to go to the league.
You're going to abort a future NBA prospect.
But the draft is in three months.
You got to wait.
So now, based on this logic, you got to go to the combine.
You got to see the vertical.
You got to see the 40.
You got to see what type of draft prospect this guy is.
If he could go first round, lottery pick.
Yep.
Keeping it.
Let it grow.
I'm telling you.
But you might need three more months.
So now we're at eight.
Hold on, hold on.
We're not at eight.
We're not at eight.
We are at 10 weeks.
Okay.
We know that you're not really checking to see if you're pregnant or not until how many weeks?
67.
60 days, 60.
Okay?
How many days you need to decide if the guy who nutted you is going to be rich or is rich?
It depends.
I would say if we're just going to be fair and let's err on the side of comfort here, three weeks.
That puts us at how many weeks?
88 days.
It depends on the time of year, too.
Which is my point.
It's about 12 and a half weeks.
Yeah.
We got to see a tax return before.
Taxes are very important.
It's actually a stressful time.
You can put it back a period even more.
I'm thinking three months is safe.
I'm thinking three months is safe.
12 weeks or three months?
Those could be different.
You know what?
You're fucking right.
That's an actually really important thing that I learned after having a kid.
The reason they say the week shit is because three months is not the same as 12 weeks.
You're 100% right.
Give them the months.
Three months.
No, we'll do weeks.
Yeah, weeks, weeks.
It could be a short month.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a 12-week abortion ban.
12 weeks.
Now here's the thing.
You're going to want an extra week.
Awesome.
Because everyone procrastinates.
Everybody, also, you got to find your right doctor.
You got to find your right clinic.
You got to get the guy to pay for it.
You might not want to pay for it.
Which vacuum are you going to use?
Which vacuum are you going to use?
Now we're at 12.
You might want to have a little fun.
So 13, I can't.
You can't get pregnant again.
You might as well get nutted in.
You can't get pregnant again.
It's a 13-week abortion ban.
But now you're at 13.
If you're at 13, it's bad luck.
13 is bad luck.
It's a 14-week abortion ban.
I think 14 is a good number.
14-week abortion ban.
Okay.
They might have thrown all this through, and the 15 might have been the...
15 is safe for everybody.
I think 15 is safe for everybody.
Includes holidays.
Okay.
These politicians be doing stuff.
See, and we talk all this shit.
Trans Women and Abortion Access00:05:42
They are doers.
They make a difference.
We took all this shit, okay, when we just need to shut our mouth and enjoy our rapping.
All we're doing is complaining.
So complaining ban.
15 weeks.
Okay.
What do you think about it?
When they made that rule about abortion back in the day in 1864, there wasn't shit to do but get pregnant for a woman.
That's true.
You were acutely aware of what your period was because that was your only entertainment for the month.
You couldn't read.
That's true.
You couldn't ride a horse.
You couldn't do nothing.
Make a casserole and wait for that fucking bloody Sunday.
What?
What?
It's funny.
You had once a month.
You had the strawberry shortcake.
Okay.
Then once a month, that strawberry shortcake is coming, and that's what you look forward to.
So of course they are aware of it.
These girls now, what are they doing, Al?
Playing Minecraft?
Right?
It's a little young.
Yeah, you're right.
What are they doing then?
What are these girls doing?
Fuck, what's that?
Restaurant week?
Checkers or some shit.
They're playing checkers, yeah.
Yeah, check.
Chess.
They're playing chess.
They're playing checkers.
But the NBA players, bro, they're playing 4D chess.
You know what I'm saying?
They're plotting.
What are you saying?
What are you saying?
They're playing 4D chess.
They're trying to get a kid cooking.
You know what I'm saying?
Are you saying that they're trying to use these NBA players and get pregnant with them?
That's what you're saying.
You're trying to accuse women of doing?
I mean, I don't think guys are doing it.
That's a good point.
Good.
I don't think guys are fucking NBA players trying to get pregnant in my experience.
It's almost primarily women.
Listen, I don't know what you preach on.
I don't want to throw a wrench into this plan that we've devised here, but I will throw one more suggestion.
The amount of time that you have is dependent on the financial situation you're in.
So if you make over a quarter million dollars a year, you have eight months to decide.
Why not?
So 32-week abortion ban.
Yeah, 32-week abortion banana.
I mean, 32-week abortion.
Yeah, if you're a woman, you're making a quarter million dollars.
You could support the baby on your own.
It's not a big deal.
Like, you are not dependent on anybody else.
Yeah.
The only person's life to change is yours.
You should be entitled up to nine months, to be honest.
So 36 weeks.
I think 36 months is a lot of people.
36-week abortion bananas.
Now, if you have settled, dusted, boom, you got no job.
You a stripper.
You know what I mean?
You get paid all cash.
It is if your job is all cash.
You know, if you get paid tips, if you got to iron your money, if you got to use an iron for your money, you know, this is a different, this is, I think it might be a shorter period.
Okay.
Okay.
And I think that I meant to reverse what I just said.
I thought that's the other way around.
I think we solved it, everybody.
We did.
Really solved it.
We did.
Hell yeah, dude.
There's also late delivery, though.
So I think we should have like a 40-week abortion.
Yeah.
40 weeks, I think.
10 months.
10 months.
Yo, that's a good point.
What if the baby's late?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we got to build a pad some time, 40 weeks.
40-week abortion ban, done and dusted.
How far off do you think we are from like, yeah, we're, we're killing something?
We don't know if it's a full human yet, but we're killing something.
But we're okay with that.
How far off do you think Americans are from that?
Yeah, I just feel like there's like a, what's the term, cognitive dissonance or whatever.
When it's got a heartbeat, it's not alive.
It's not a life.
You guys are all convinced.
I just feel like we'd be gaslighting these Christians, man.
These Christians are like, yo, there's a heartbeat.
And then we're like, man, shut up.
Gay.
Yeah, that's.
Yeah, you don't like gays.
Shut up.
Why do y'all hate gays so much?
Yo, that's.
Yo, why don't you watch a priest?
They say shit that is true and it's so obvious.
And we just call them homophobic.
And then if you acknowledge his murder, it's like, yo, it's got a heartbeat.
So what do you say to that?
They have nothing.
There's no, I've never heard her say that.
So we got to stop gaslighting Christians, but we also just have to accept how we kind of feel.
Yeah.
That's what Louis' bus is like.
What do you say?
It's killing a baby.
Women should be allowed to kill babies.
Yeah.
Like, it's like women should be allowed to kill what's inside of them.
But it is killing.
Up to a certain point.
I don't think.
And I think that they should only be allowed to kill a certain amount of them.
That's another thing.
Oh, no.
This.
This is fire.
This is fire.
Let me ask you something, Al.
If you found out a girl had 24 abortions, you got to take away that right, right?
There is a number.
There is a number.
Like an advent calculator.
That's a kink at that point.
No, let's go.
Yeah, yeah.
She's doing it, bro.
You really into it.
God damn, that's a serial.
So Baker's dozen.
13.
So it's like, you see, the trans woman that was trying to get a uterus put in to be the first trans woman to have an abortion.
Oh, my God.
This is doing too much.
They're trying to be hated, bro.
They're trying to be hated.
They're trying to be hated.
Why is that bad?
This bitch doing too much.
Come on.
I mean, it is a lot, right?
It's too much.
What?
If you're going go, go.
No, but if you go all go.
Pro-choice and pro-abortion are different things.
This bitch is pro-abortion.
Listen, Alex is proof that you don't have to be a woman to have an abortion.
That trans dude could have a million abortions right now.
Why the hell does he need to be inside?
Trans rights, bro.
Alva will get them pregnant.
Yo, imagine getting a uterus put in, getting pregnant to just have an abortion.
What a fucking- What doctor is doing that?
What doctor's like, Agha, let's do it.
What are you even connected to?
I don't even know if the power outlets are.
Uterus Implants and Tour Dates00:02:28
That's true.
It's like the UCB, what is it called?
USB-C?
Yeah, yeah, it might be.
What is it connecting to?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what you wired it up.
Dungle.
For real, like, we have to, is that even a real thing that they can do?
They can put a uterus inside there?
I think so.
Can you put a uterus on a dolphin?
No, let me look.
We're using pig kidneys now.
So it's like, we can do a lot.
But what's a kidney do?
Kidney?
Yeah, you got to hook it up, though.
We got a place for a kidney.
So you can just kick it out.
I'm a pig.
Oh, and it's working.
New Delhi-based surgeon would soon attempt a uterine transplant on a transgender woman.
It hasn't been performed successfully yet, but people, for people assigned male at birth.
Man, this guy just wanted to kill a trans.
I mean, hey, that is funny.
That is chance.
That is.
I'm just going to be honest about what that was.
Oh, I could put a uterus in you.
Experimental surgery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it looks like they're trying it and trying to make it work.
The life sword this weekends.
We're in Nashville at the Grand Old Opry House.
Then we're in Austin at the Moody Center.
And then Phoenix, we had a second show at the Arizona Financial Theater.
And then the next time we are doing shows as part of the life tour, it will be Madison Square Garden.
So yeah, I'm really excited for that.
It's wild to even say that that is a couple weeks away.
The singular goal dream that I've had in mind since I started comedy.
So I am incredibly excited to say the least about those shows.
And I can't wait to see you guys there.
And it's going to be special.
We're going to make sure it's special.

Now let's get back to the show.
Trump Records Felony Charges00:04:50
I looked into this Trump story with the trial.
I looked into this story to understand this story.
Yeah.
After reading and not only reading, talking it through with someone who has legal expertise, after trying to get to the bottom of it, I realized there's no hope.
There's no hope.
There is no hope for information ever again.
There's no hope.
First of all, I'm going to go through each one of you and just ask you if you know what the trial is about.
Do you know what it's about?
The hush money paper.
For Stormy Daniel.
Okay, so first of all, we all know Trump's going to, the guy who's probably going to be president is going to trial in our city.
You have no fucking clue.
There's no hope.
It's okay.
Nobody knows.
We all don't know.
I didn't know the shit you were fucking talking about.
I have no clue.
When you tell me about the abortion thing, I have no fucking clue.
I'll tell you right now.
I know what abortion is.
Sit them on a cactus.
That's all I fucking know.
I have nothing.
I don't know anything else besides that.
Okay.
Okay.
Listen, dude, it's what they do in Arizona.
This is what we're going to have to go back to.
Now that they made it illegal, right?
Going out there in the desert, find a spiky one and go for it, right?
So I'm looking into this fucking Trump thing, okay?
Stormy Daniels, I know, okay?
This is what I thought it was going into it because I just read headlines and I'm a fucking doofus, right?
I go, okay, he took money from the campaign funds and then paid it.
That's what I thought, right?
Because I'm an idiot, right?
Not even what it's about.
Okay.
Apparently, and I'm going to have to tell you on my phone that has notes on it to get through this, I'm sure, but I'll try to do it without.
Okay, apparently, apparently, he pays Michael Cohen, who was his personal attorney, $130,000.
Michael Cohen sets up a shell company to create separation between Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.
The shell company pays Stormy Daniels $130,000.
That is hush money.
That's, hey, be quiet about, you know, whatever the fuck happened.
Don't say some shit.
Okay.
Now, it is a, the reason why this is a big deal for Trump is because it's a felony, right?
It is a misdemeanor to falsify your business records.
In other words, say that you paid for one thing when it was really for another.
Trump said in his records he paid $130,000 for legal services to Michael Cohen.
The $130,000 from the shell company that Michael Cohen set up went to Stormy Daniels, which would imply that he was falsifying his records.
Now, that's just a misdemeanor.
People falsify their business records all the time.
It is quite common practice.
Maybe people are writing off a fucking meal here and there that's not exactly a business meal.
They're writing off.
There's falsifications.
This happens all the fucking time.
Okay.
But he's running for president.
And this is where it gets even more specific.
In order for it to become a felony, you have to falsify your records.
There's a couple options where it can be felony.
Falsify your records with the hope to conspire to gain office.
So if they can prove that he had falsified his records in hopes to benefit him for running for office, this is, I think, a New York law, specifically.
I don't know if it's available in other states.
Then you can go, okay, now it's a felony.
And once it's a felony, now we can put five years in prison or whatever the fuck it is.
But it doesn't stop there.
It's not only if they can, if they can prove intent to conspire to run for office and how this would benefit, there's another one where if you evade tax authorities is obviously a crime, right?
So if you're evading tax authorities, so if you're falsifying records, that is a crime.
And doing that to evade tax authorities, that is a felony.
Now, anytime you would falsify records, it would be to evade tax authorities.
So it's already going to be a fail.
So the DA hasn't even said which one it's going to be.
He's like, we got something that's a felony.
I don't got to tell you, but we got something.
It's illegal.
Sure.
It's going to make me vote for him.
That's my take.
If researching this and seeing the fucking, and you don't think that there's at least a little bit of a witch hunt, a little bit of a witch.
We're talking about New York City.
Yeah.
You can't pay a bitch to shut the fuck up.
Like, you can't pay her from your lawyer.
Yeah.
Like, what?
How are we supposed to pay him, Alex?
How are we supposed to pay him?
Use his own personal funds.
If he used his own personal funds.
He used funds from the pool that's supposed to be for running.
Evading Taxes With False Records00:05:38
So here's my thing.
He doesn't like to use his own money for anything.
But here's my thing.
Didn't he use his own money for his campaign?
No, but he still got plenty of donations.
Sure, sure.
But what I'm saying is, can't he say that the 130 came from his own money?
No, because it came from the pool.
Even if he put his own money into that pool of money, you can't get it.
It still comes from that pool.
You can't prove it.
100% to the proof.
Up to right now, all his lawyer fees have been coming from a pool, from donations.
He has not paid a single dollar of his own money for any of his legal fees up to date.
This guy has no idea what's going on.
He made more money after January 6th because they thought they were going to lock him up.
So people donated more to him after the campaign than before the campaign.
And he's been rotting on that money to pay all his shit.
Okay, fair enough.
Fair enough.
What I'm trying to say.
That's crazy.
What I'm trying to say is, it's not your fault for not knowing this.
I get it.
It's really not.
Everything is so.
The amount of work that it took to just barely understand and still get it wrong this topic.
That's every topic.
That's every the amount of work you had to do last night to just barely scratch the surface of Iran and Israel.
Not even talking about Iran and Palestine.
I mean, Israel, Palestine.
Just the nobody, no human being could understand all of this stuff and have friends, a family, children, a job.
It is a what.
So what I'm trying to get at after all this is I completely get why people just go, fuck the truth.
I'm picking a side.
Feed me.
Feed me the talking points.
I'm a liberal.
Tell me how I should think.
I'm a conservative.
Tell me how I should think.
Doing the research, it's impossible.
It's literally impossible.
Like, imagine you work 80 hours a week.
Imagine you work 80 hours a week and you want to have, you can't, the truth is too hard.
You have a family?
And then I tell them what to think.
How many watches I can tell them what to think?
Think about how easy it was.
Nazis, bad.
Great.
Love it.
Americans, good.
Love it.
I'm informed.
Now everybody's bad.
Now everybody's bad now.
Everybody's bad.
Everybody's a little bad.
Everybody's a little good.
It is impossible to understand every issue and still be like a decent human being with friends and like enjoy basketball.
You can't enjoy basketball.
Honestly, during baseball season, I'll be more informed.
The second the NBA playoffs are done and we're in that like middle time where there's only baseball.
Yeah.
The summer, I'm going to be in the Hamptons.
I have no chance of ever being completely informed again.
I can learn one thing a week and I'll figure that one out and then everything else, I don't know.
What do we do?
What do we do?
I don't get the part.
What makes this make you want to vote for him now?
Because they try to do the same thing on Biden.
They've been trying to put charges on him.
Wait, no, hold on.
They've been trying to put charges on Biden?
Yes.
I'm voting for him.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Whoever they point charges off for no reason, I'm voting for him.
Vote for both.
Yo.
Yeah.
I got the ballots.
Get a mailing ballot.
Get a nail ballot.
I got the ballot.
I'm going to do that shit.
Right?
I'm going to do that shit.
That's fine.
Then you vote, but then it's wash.
Yeah.
And then nobody can say that I'm anything.
People.
You're more American because you voted twice.
I'm voting twice.
I care about the fucking country.
The most American.
I care about it.
Two IVOTE stickers.
You got one.
Who knows everything?
And the guy you vote for wins.
That's fine.
Oh, both.
If you vote for both.
Yes.
That's fire.
Yes.
Play both sides, never lose.
It's voted fraud, right?
Watch what happens.
Watch what happens.
Right now, I'm saying I'm voting for both.
Guaranteed, Biden dies next week.
Trump's plane crashes.
And now I can't vote for no one.
And I got to learn about Kamala.
Damn.
I got to learn about new people.
RFK, baby.
Shout out to RFK.
That's the other thing.
Even the vaccines.
Like, I've been.
I thought we're not cutting anything out.
We're not.
We're not.
We're not cutting it.
Even the vaccines.
I have every reason.
Even when I was talking to Joe, I have every reason to believe that we should ask questions about the vaccines and research, and we should.
We should.
I want to do that.
But I don't have any concrete proof of the bad shit.
And I don't have any concrete proof of another alternative, right?
So with RFK, like sweet guy, great, multi-millionaire, can afford to educate his kids in pods, can afford to not put them in preschool, can important to not put them in daycare, can afford all these things that are luxuries within the vaccine situation.
The average American literally, they have to go to work.
They can't say, oh, I'm not going to vaccinate my kid.
And then who watches your kid?
Oh, you're just going to get a nanny just for your one kid with your salary that's 50 grand a year while you're working in Walmart.
It's not practical.
Now, we should ask all the things.
100%.
And it's terrifying.
I'm terrified as a father, genuinely terrified.
Like, you never want to do anything to your kid that causes harm and you never want to not do something to your kid that causes harm.
You don't vaccinate.
And then, God forbid, they get a disease that could have been avoided.
How could you live with yourself?
How could you fucking live with yourself?
So you're terrified.
But right now, from everything, all the conversations I've heard about the vaccines, there is reason to believe that we should study more, that there might be some negative side effects of these things.
Obviously, the aluminum inside, right?
But I haven't, there hasn't been enough, unfortunately, research done to prove that they do cause the things that we're worried about, which is basically symptism.
Parental Fear of Vaccine Risks00:07:07
Right?
So you're in this middle ground where it's like you have all the anxiety and none of the confirmation.
And there's so many people who probably feel that, but they don't have the money to lead the life of somebody who wants to be completely skeptical.
Yeah.
It's not cheap.
Yeah.
You can't put your kid in a fucking daycare.
If they don't have it and this religious exemption shit, they don't give a fuck.
Nope.
You want to put them in private school?
The private school goes, yo, kick rocks.
I don't give a fuck.
These are the rules.
So what?
Only the rich don't get vaccinated?
Or home school?
You could have a coworker take the shots for you.
Say what?
And even homeschool, like not everybody can afford to have a parent stay home.
That's a luxury too.
You know, it is a daycare is expensive.
Home care is crazy.
Yeah.
So it's just like, I don't know.
I don't know.
You're just, we're in this like weird amorphous time where like, yes, it's great that we're asking questions about everything.
I'm glad we're asking questions about everything.
I have a lot of questions.
But we're also in a time where now that we're asking questions about everything and it's revealing the cracks and everything, we have no faith in a single system.
Yeah.
No faith in government.
I have no faith where my taxes go.
I don't know what the military industrial complex is doing with the fucking money.
I thought all the money was going to Ukraine until last month.
Now I realize it's staying here.
It's going to Raytheon.
How is it that I'm 40 years old and I'm learning that everything I know is false every day?
Give me rap beef.
Thank God.
Thank God, Kendrick.
Kendrick and Drake don't even want to do this.
Rick Ross don't even want to do this.
They're doing it for us.
These girls taking dick from all three of them are doing it for us.
Thank you.
Shout out to them.
Thank you.
And don't ask for fucking hush money like Stormy.
Shut your mouth and let the beef prevail.
Yeah.
Like bang different politicians to tell them about Trump.
Thank you.
Yeah, that we're talking.
Do NDAs mean anything these days, man?
I don't know.
Now that bothers me for real.
Yeah, that bothers me for real.
That really, come on.
Do you guys feel at all what I just said?
Yeah.
Yes, I look at the 90s as being such a happy time.
I'm sure it wasn't, but we just didn't know anything.
We knew nothing.
Ignorance.
Ignorance is bliss.
And don't get me wrong.
It's good we're talking about these things.
There was a time where ignorance was bliss about what was going on with black people.
Then Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a book and people were like, oh, slaves got it bad?
They literally were reading Uncle Thomas Cavan.
Like, wait, slaves don't like it?
I thought they like it.
Wait a minute, they don't set it like this?
What are those people?
They could speak English if they had no fucking clue.
A lot of people up north.
Yeah.
So it's like, it's good we ask questions.
It's good we challenge systems.
That being said, there is a cost to it.
And the cost is the anxiety of not knowing anything.
OJ gave us a year of news coverage to not think about real issues.
Rest in peace.
Shouts to OJ.
Rest in peace.
Shouts to OJ.
Rest in peace.
We need it.
We need a break.
We need seasons, bro.
How long is the NBA season?
Seven, eight months, I think.
God damn.
What's the shorter one?
WNBA.
NFL, four months.
Okay, Hannibal's four.
We need an NFL season for learning.
Four months of the year, we're going to go in.
We're going to learn about Israel, Palestine.
We're going to learn about everything.
We're going to know.
We're going to figure it all out.
Okay.
We're going to learn about Moss' perspective.
We're going to let Israel's perspective.
We're going to learn about the whole history.
We're going to learn about everything.
Okay.
And then once the Super Bowl is over, hey, y'all got to put that shit on pause for a little bit.
We need to color listen to some rat beef.
Okay.
We cannot be learning shit all year.
We got four months.
He had to research one story.
Yo, you know what a crazy thing?
You know what crazy thing?
I didn't even have to research it.
And this is FA telling me to research.
And I know it's not me because I got a text from Mark.
I got a text from Mark last night.
This is my text.
This is my text from Mark last night at 3.45 a.m.
Mark's job is go research the Israel Iran war.
Mark at 3.45 a.m. text me.
This Israel Iran stuff runs deep.
It does.
It does.
Oh my God.
I texted Mark last night.
I said, I feel like we're in college again.
I'm researching in the library.
Yeah.
I also remembered why I wasn't a doctor when I had to research this topic.
The number of fucking times I got distracted was unbelievable.
I enjoyed it.
It was fun.
I started watching, watch YouTube.
It was just a whole thing.
Oh, yeah, then you get distracted.
Yeah.
You just scroll down and trying to break it.
I remember the kids who became doctors would lock in for like six hours.
I'm sitting there for 12 hours trying to research one fucking thing and I keep getting distracted.
You're like, you might have HD, bro.
You're like, I'm fucking ADHD.
I might have the hood.
Yeah.
I might have Addis.
You might have it, dude.
Adderall, you would have been a doctor, right?
Yeah, bro.
So here's the thing.
I'm taking Adderall, right?
Love it.
Love it.
It's great.
It still just makes me want to party.
Like, people are like, I want to do homework.
And I'm like, have you partied on it?
Because when I take it, I'm like, we need to party.
Like, we need to go to a blonde show and I need to hear some techno.
It depends on the setting that you're in.
Because like nursing school, I used to take it Sunday morning, lock in.
I'll be in the library, dark room, all black, like what?
Private room situation, lock in for eight hours.
Really?
That's the only way I was doing it.
And you enjoyed what you were consuming?
Like you had a thirst for the knowledge?
I just needed to, but that was the only way I taught myself because in class, it was just like, I'm not paying for it.
I'm checking out.
So it's like that, the day before, the Sunday before each test.
That's when I learned everything.
Fire.
And it worked.
Every test was like between 88 and 90.
So then let's do it.
Let's do one day a week.
Everybody, news gets one day a week.
And then we get on the Adderall and then we do one day a week.
And then we have six other days to do, you know, whatever we want.
It's too much to understand each story.
It's too much, bro.
It's too much.
No, no, I'm telling you, this is why there's no news organization.
This is why there's no news organization.
There's not one news organization out there that tells you the truth.
Everyone is filtered through an opinion, right?
CNN is this, Fox is that, Daily Wire is this, The Atlantic is that, The Guardian, everybody has their filter, right?
The New York Times that they have that filter, and you have to.
Because to do the research, to tell people the truth every day on a topic, impossible.
It's not humanly possible.
Bro, experts every week go on Rogan.
Every week they go on Rogan.
Experts have dedicated their lives.
And this same week, another expert is like, that's bullshit.
I feel the exact opposite.
I feel the exact opposite of everything you just said.
He's a World War II expert.
There's another World War II expert from the other side that believes in 100% certainty.
He is right.
Rat beef.
Listen to it.
Maybe we're just in the 10-door gardens, dude.
What does that mean?
Experts Clash on Rogan Show00:02:55
Just take care of your house.
Just to tend to your garden, bro.
Listen, that's easy to say when you grew up with a garden.
We have an apartment where there's a Dominican that's fucking banging pots and pans all fucking night long.
May 10 to 20.
10 to your stool.
That is why Dominicans go outside because the pimetics.
Dude, it couldn't pigeon clap.
Yes, let's play with pigeons.
You have to distract yourself.
We need distraction.
This is healthy.

This is incredibly important.
Let's face it, after a night out with drinks, we don't bounce back the next day like we used to, especially at my age.
I'm 40 years old.
Even a night of responsible drinking after shows can potentially ruin the next day.
I miss out on the next day.
I'm recovering.
I can't work out.
I can't play paddle.
I can't do some writing.
It's not good.
But luckily, there is now a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after a night of drinking.
I know it seems impossible, but that is not the case with Z Biotics.

Thank you, ZBiotics, for sponsoring this episode and our good times.
Now let's get back to the show.
I've been actually following Rick Ross.
Rick Ross is really good at beef.
Yeah, he's really, I'm impressed.
Like, I didn't even listen to the song.
I like tried to listen to it.
I didn't, it kind of sucks.
Oral was good.
I didn't even know.
Didn't it didn't, but he is on that ass non-stop incessantly.
And it's like there's, he's almost MM'd it where, like, you can't say anything about like calling him fat.
He's like, I know I'm fat.
I have my shirt off all the time.
I have my fucking tits out everywhere.
Like, there's nothing you can really say.
Pears.
I eat pear.
He's made fun of his diet.
He's made fun of everything about him.
But he's really good at like creating like monikers and names.
Yeah.
Like he's fucking efficient at beef.
And the beef ain't even with him.
Did like, did Drake mention him that much?
Drake did mention him.
Did he?
Not much, but it was just they have an issue with women.
Like, I think there's a lot of pillow talking that's been going on.
And that's because.
What does pillow talking mean?
Like, if two guys slept with the same girl and now this girl goes and tells the other guy stuff that you guys spoke about.
I don't know if this is on Patreon, but do you remember when we had this conversation when I was like, yo, the same thousand girls are getting fucked by everybody?
Was it on public episode?
Yeah.
That is the cause of all this beef.
So thank them, bitches.
Subscribe.
Subscribe to OnlyFans.
All the joy you're getting is from these OnlyFans bitches that every dude is fucking and they're all upset about it.
The fragility of the ego.
Thank God.
Yeah.
Okay.
So there's pillow talk going on.
So there's one of Rick Ross's exes.
Man, imagine Rick Ross laying on your girl.
She all warm when you get there.
It's like a talking like a TLC.
She's in a slanket or whatever that shit is.
What was that thing that you could walk around in all day?
Snuggie.
Snuggy.
There's a slanket also.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
But like a few months back, Rick Ross was one of his exes and she was just, she's going crazy online, like trying to air him out just because they had a bad breakup.
Okay.
And she was saying that, oh, Ross doesn't even like Drake.
He talks shit about him.
And we thought she was just bullshitting.
But it turns out that was all true because you can tell Ross has been waiting for this.
He's been wanting to go out.
He is hungry.
Yeah, yeah.
He's non-stop.
What did you say?
But he's not.
It's like every single post on Instagram.
And then Drake got a kind of response to it because Ross isn't a peon.
Ross, one of the biggest names in music.
Yeah.
And somehow he beat the CO charges.
Yeah.
Like he took a play out of 50s book because both of them, when they, when they're beefing, they're relentless.
That's what I was going to say.
It's reminiscent of 50 non-where it's just every social media post is so funny.
He comes through it.
So what makes him good?
What do you feel like he's doing this like a funny thing?
He is having fun.
Yes.
He is smiling.
He's so silly.
He's a cartoon.
He should be like a villain in the Incredibles.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's just out there and he has these beautiful fucking veneers and every post he's smiling.
And you can't not look at him.
He's got face tattoos.
His chest is out.
He's silly no matter what he does.
He's performing at a prom.
Most people would be embarrassed to do that during a beef.
He wears a Drake shirt and leans in.
Yeah.
Like it's a plywood floor.
Drake tries to take a shot and it doesn't.
He has like an invincibility to him.
Because he doesn't care.
I'm not affected by anything.
Bro.
So his response when Drake dropped the diss, he's just laughing on IG stories.
He's laughing in the studio and then two hours later, he was.
Yeah.
And nobody cares about the song.
He didn't even need to put out a song.
Well, the song wasn't the stuff that stuck was at the end of the song when he's just talking.
Those were the shots.
The song didn't have shots, really.
I don't even remember.
I just remember now when he's going, he just keeps calling him what?
White boy.
It's hilarious.
It's funny.
So it's the simplicity.
BBL Drake.
You got a fake nose.
His nose looks the same.
I don't think he got a fake nose.
But saying it is hysterical.
Yeah.
And now I'm questioning.
Now you're like, did he get a fake nose?
Now I'm like, can I?
Have you looked at me?
I don't get these fake noses at.
How do you take off this amount of time for recovery?
I mean, he got fake abs.
That's why you're wearing that shit on tour.
He's making fun of Drake's body.
Which is hysterical.
So funny.
Idea that he would talk about physique.
He said, you got 25 body fat, but you still got sculpted ass.
Bbl, Drake is crazy unbelievable, so he's.
He's fantastic at making these monikers and now he's.
He's almost he's got this like gravitational pull right and now the beef seems less with Kendrick, even though that's what we want.
We want the bars for Kendrick.
The Kendrick BARS feels like it's gonna bail out Drake from this Rick Ross smoke.
Yeah yeah, possibly.
I don't think Kendrick can do this daily instagram taunting.
No the way Rick Ross can no.
I think Kendrick is like, he's got his easel and he's got his oil paints.
He's trying to make his beautiful painting.
He's trying to Bob Ross it, but the Rick Ross, that's profits.
You don't want to wake up on instagram to mentions everything.
He's Gallagher and Drake is the watermelon, relentless, every show bang, bang.
And he actually caused Drake's probably only misstep of the weekend because he puts out a screenshot of the text that he sends his mom.
Yeah, because his mom was like, oh, i'm here and you got a no job.
I think it was a doctor text.
I don't think it's actually his mom.
Yo mom, text me this.
Yeah, and i'm gonna respond even so.
It was so corny, yeah.
And then he's like, oh mom, he's racist and he's um, he's on some moon, Jara Munjara or some like that.
Yeah, he's grumpy and but i'm like you probably play the race card, you're half white, half black and you're calling this guy racist like, and you're saying it to your mom.
It was just such the corniest play yeah, but the diss track towards everybody.
I give him that.
That was yo.
That was good to Drake this track.
Anybody who?
I didn't catch it at first on my first listen I didn't hear, I didn't know what he was saying.
I was like I I thought it was all gonna be about Kendrick and I didn't realize he got to go out everybody, yeah.
So I was like disappointed.
I was like I thought there'd be more bars for Kendrick.
You're calling him short.
I get called short all the time.
It's not that bad.
But then when I caught all the shit he was saying, I was like, oh yeah, he went, he went, he went yeah yo, that was flames.
The Metro one is is the best diss to me.
Which one?
That's some Rick Ross, that which one shut up and make your drums, you know, because for Metro.
Why are you involved in this?
The metric for Metro to respond, he's got to do exactly what Drake said.
Yeah, like it was so annoying.
Yeah, and it was like it was awesome.
Rick Ross, it's not go make a beat, it's just make drums.
So dismissive yeah, I was offended for him.
No no yeah, but the bars were crazy.
I mean, there was a lot of uh, you know, double entrentundres, triple entendres, that like.
Once the internet started explaining, I was like oh, this is fire.
To draw a give you 50, shit is great.
I knew what that was coming from immediately, but then to find out it had to do with the record deal.
Yeah, the TD thing.
So he's um he.
To get out of his deal, I believe he had to.
Either he is Kendrick, he's Kendrick yeah, so it's like um TOP DOG, the guy who he used to be signed to.
That's TD Entertainment, TOP DOG Entertainment.
To get out of it, he had to, I believe, either sell 50 of his, his catalog or give him like 50 of future earnings, something.
It's like they.
That's why Drake wants him to release the contract, because there's a big like rumor that he's owes top like 50, didn't they have him at a 360 before that?
Basically yeah, but everybody's in contract.
And then when you start out, when you start out, you get in a 360 and you're just so hungry for the opportunity You'll take whatever deal is there, because you think a deal is going to make your career.
It's kind of like to what Russ was saying.
And then when you start making money, you learn a little bit more about the industry.
You learn a little bit more how it works.
You're like, okay, how can I kind of buy my freedom?
But you locked up in these deals.
And the way that it works is like, it's not for you to be free.
Yeah.
We're signing 20 people and one of them might pop and you got to pay for all 20.
Here's my one pushback with that part.
Isn't that what everybody says happened to Drake?
That's what Push keeps saying.
The M's count different when Baby Divides a Pie.
You sign up for the body.
Oh, everybody was eating off the bottom.
You signed at three N-words.
So that's kind of the same.
Like, how much of your money are you keeping in music?
I mean, apparently, Drake was keeping none.
Yeah.
That was the case, but now Drake's out of his deals.
And I think that's the argument with the Kendrick situation: he might have had to give up half to get out.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I don't know.
But like Swifty's line, like, yo, make a song with Taylor Swift because you have to for the money.
Yeah.
Drop and give me 50.
Like, that's what his label's saying.
Drop an album, dude.
I mean, it's just like, really close.
So there's one part that I don't hear people talking about that it's probably the most disrespectful.
This is where, okay, I'm glad you're talking about this.
This is wild.
So when he says he calls out Kendrick's wife, Whippy, and he's like, oh, yeah.
And it was like a play on Tendra with like Whitney Houston and Bodyguard song.
But people used to refer to Jay fuck.
God damn it.
J-Rock as Kendrick's bodyguard, his muscle.
And it was a rumor that Whitney slept with J-Rock.
Whitney meaning Kendrick's wife.
Yes.
Ooh, that's diabolic.
So that line, if one of it's true, even if it's not true, that's crazy.
Can we also say no one's talking about Pushkin?
And can we also say one thing?
The whole reason he went on the shop and was like, I didn't respond to Push because I didn't want to be so filthy.
He did the J. Cole.
I sleep better.
No, I didn't have to do that.
We got to look at that differently now and be like, he has responded to Push, though.
No, he said he wrote a song after Push his story of Adam.
Since then, he's responded to Push.
But he said, I had a song.
No, no, we know what he said.
What I'm saying is since then, he has had plenty of bars for Push.
But not different.
Not like in the heat of the battle.
And it's like he said he didn't want to go that personal.
And now you're like, no, he's going personal.
So it's like he was like, I could have been filthy, but I don't want to have to do that.
Yeah, same real thing, which is like you're just inflating this guy that you're so far beyond when you do a push.
But with Kendrick, it's worth it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's Kendrick, it's worth this.
But with Push, it's like, you know, with all respect, where the fuck is Push now?
It's over.
So it's like, and Drake is on top of the world again after taking the L in their little beef.
If he just kept beefing with this guy, you're just going to keep putting air in his lungs.
Whereas not talking about him is going to silence him.
Also, I think Push is like legit sociopathic.
Like Push is like, I'll go.
I don't give a fuck.
I'll go wherever.
No, no, no, 100%.
100%.
Drake is like, I can't beat you.
So knowing that he's going to go wherever and the only thing that keeps the air in his sales is you.
Yeah.
Make the boat stall.
Exactly.
Like, you could take the risk with Kendrick.
Kendrick, it makes sense.
Yeah.
Because by beating him, now you're undisputed number one.
Nobody can be like, hey, Kendrick is actually better.
He's more of an artist.
Drake is McDonald's.
Kendrick is Carbone, whatever.
But nobody ever compared Drake to Pusha.
No one will ever compare Drake.
We just need to acknowledge that that was some white shit to do.
White girl.
You hate Drake so much.
Y'all gasping.
It's so funny.
Who's your favorite rap?
White boy now.
This is the dumb.
No, embrace it, Drake.
You are white.
What's wrong, B. Why is that an insult?
I'm just saying, I'm like, I sleep better.
Yeah, you lost.
That's fine.
Just acknowledge you lost.
That's cool.
This, you are clearly winning right now.
I also, as much as I'll hate on Drake, I will admit it and be like, yo, he's probably going to go down as the greatest ever.
He's not necessarily for me.
Probably going to go down as the greatest ever.
And I think he's going to win this battle.
So I give credit.
So tell us some more shit.
We ruined, we partially ruined this beef because on the Patreon episode when we showed the public about this AI music stuff.
Now everybody thinks everything's AI.
Yeah.
So there was a track.
Yeah, so there was multiple versions of the Drake song that came out.
I think what happened is, so he just laid down his lyrics and then sent it around to a couple of producers to try to put a beat over it.
That's what I think because there's a version out now that it's just his vocals with no music on it.
So the fact that somebody can get a hold of that, most likely he sent that out to a few people.
And so the first version that came out or the first version that I got where it was like it was a biggie sample on it, getting money.
And I actually like that version the best, even though he's not really rhyming on the beat too well.
That's why people thought it was AI because he's not really hitting the beat the way that he would hit the beat.
And it wasn't a mixed finished song.
It was a leak.
And so then I feel that he was rushed to put that second version out because that first thing didn't sound too great.
So I don't think he really wanted to drop the way that it was released.
Okay, so rushed to put out the second thing, meaning.
Yeah, so now the second version of that diss track.
Yeah.
I still don't think he wanted to.
He wants Kendrick to drop first.
He wanted Kendrick to die.
He's been telling everybody, yo, tell Kendrick to drop.
I'm ready.
He posted that shit, posted his manager.
So it's like, this is the thing.
The leak got out.
So now it's Force's hand.
He had to put this out.
Now there's a Kendrick leak that came out yesterday.
Is it real or AI?
From the internet, most people are saying it's AI.
I haven't heard AI that good.
To sound like the person, do different inflections and tones.
Like the bars are kind of dope.
That's the thing that's interesting about this is that like you could, if it flops, you say, nah, that's AI.
If it's fire, you go, that was us.
Yeah.
Or if it flops, you apologize and take it off your album.
Bro, J. Cole might win in all this, bro.
Everyone's going to go at each other.
Everyone's shit is going to get leaked.
Everyone's going to be like, oh, this person had a ghostwriter for this, da-da-da.
And then J. Cole seems to be the only person sitting there unscathed.
Yo, that's true.
Somebody came, I think Drake posted or somebody posted that there was a reference track that came out for one of Kendrick's songs.
And did that guy get exposed as a fraud?
That's debatable.
So what was that story?
So that, I forgot the name of the rapper, but, and he's only, he only used like maybe two or three bars from that reference track.
Most of the time, like a reference track, if they use the entire song, then it's like, oh, that's ghostwriting.
But if somebody sends a reference track, like, hey, here's an idea of how you can flow on the beat and here's what I would say on the song.
And if you take a little thing here and there, as long as you give him a writing credit on it, usually that's fine.
Got it.
But that guy wasn't credited on that song and he did use like maybe one or two lines from it.
Interesting.
So the question is, did you just take it and then rap over it like after the song came out to make it look like it was a reference track?
That's what I thought.
I mean, they could make it look like you have a writer by basically after you put out your song, re-wrapping, including some bars, and then putting it out and going, oh, this is the reference track.
Same with the Yadi Drake reference track that got leaked.
Wait, what was that one?
So there was a reference track for Jumbo Trump.
Oh, is that why Rick Ross is like, Yaddi's pen?
So they're saying that Yadi basically put down all the bars for that track and then that reference track came out.
But some people are like, wait, is this AI of Yadi doing the song?
Yeah.
And so it's like, no one knows.
Because you could find any cartoon character doing a rap of any sort.
Hold on.
You know what I mean?
Does AI make this beef better then?
No, because the fact that there's so much mystery that everything is shrouded in creates more conversation.
And that's what we really want out of this.
We don't want definitive answers.
We want to debate.
We want to go back and forth.
We want to say this person better.
No, this bar is actually this.
Hey, this guy's going to come back.
Oh, what we heard is there's a track out there that's so crazy.
Want all the conversation because it fills up our day.
If it's just headshot done, we're bored again.
True, but at the same time, it takes like takes the win out of the sales if you're debating if the song is written.
Yeah, I agree with that.
But it does force artists to perform.
So, like, now instead of dropping a diss track, you might have to drop a diss music video or you have to be like, Yo, I'm actually just gonna wrap it on camera so people know this is from me.
And this is what I'm saying, or you just drop it on your social page.
Yeah, you can promote it.
Diss Tracks vs Music Videos00:06:13
I'm going live, yeah.
And that's the weird part about this.
So, Drake has never officially said that song is me because when that first came out, people were saying it's AI.
He hasn't, he's like been DMing people saying, like, uh, what's up?
Where's Kendrick at?
But he hasn't officially said, Hey, I'm putting this song out.
It's not on any streaming service.
And so, I'm like, Is it AI?
And people, because it's getting good reception, he's not denying it.
Yo, here's the question I got.
That would be crazy, AI to have all those to your point about Kendrick.
All those references, I just no, I can't see AI going triple entendre with shit and inside info.
That's actually the and apparently.
It doesn't have to be AI in that way, like it could be someone else wrote it, and then they use well.
Maul, also, I think before the song came out, said Drop and Give Me 50 on the pod.
By the way, Maul is being so funny.
I was listening to him talking about J. Cole.
Unbelievable.
Shouts to Maul and Rory.
But anyway, he said drop and give me 50 before this song.
Oh, yeah, they're they heard something.
Yeah, so he heard something, and it must have been.
I don't believe this is AI.
And this is coming from the only guy who will say anything negative about Drake.
Or maybe they made the AI track.
Oh, you gotta catch up.
You gotta catch up, bro.
You gotta catch up.
How do I get featured in one of these diss tracks?
I'm trying to get sampled.
Do you have any advice on how to?
Because I'm actually, I really want to get sampled on that.
Oh, yeah, that was fire.
That was fine.
That was sick, dude.
That was sick.
I want to get sampled.
It was fire.
Drake is the greatest rapper ever.
Ever, ever, ever.
Sample that.
Metro Boomin is the greatest producer ever.
Boom.
Add that if you want to.
Rick Ross is the greatest rapper ever.
And so if any of these guys want to use that diss track, just go ahead, put it in there.
Well, Charlamagne just had like a lot of reasoning behind what he said.
Yeah, I know.
You just echoed the last word of your sentence.
I agree.
Yeah, that's it.
That worked.
That worked.
That's fire.
I killed that.
I ain't going to lie.
Strong agreement, dude.
I killed that.
Strong agreement.
That was nice.
That was really good.
Bro, my phone started blowing up.
That shit dropped.
I was like, I thought I was on album.
So you almost were.
You didn't agree.
I know.
If you agree, why didn't you?
If you agree, you would have been on the album.
Today we do brilliant.
You know that.
Just make sense.
Keep going.
Talk about Charlie.
That shit was so fire.
Charlamagne had this great monologue, but it was just totally overshadowed by my agreeing.
That's what everybody was.
That's really what everybody was saying on the internet.
Everybody's like, yo, Charlamagne had all these really interesting, thoughtful points, but when you just went, I agree, and then I agree.
The second inflection on the I agree.
Oh, my God.
We can't get AI.
We can't AI.
Oh, yeah.
Metro, they said, I don't know if this is true, but the rumor is that Metro isolated my vocals and then really increased the inflection on the audience.
You good?
You get it.
That was good.
You're going to make it next time.
You're going to make it.
Wait, but did they credit you on this song?
I am on it.
Yeah.
You are?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My pseudonym.
My pseudonym.
I have a ghost race.
You're not credited.
That's ghostwriting.
No, no.
Oh.
Oh, Metro got a ghostwriter.
Yeah.
You.
That's crazy, bro.
That's wild.
Yeah, that's fire.
Anyway, so yeah, to be involved in the beef, like, it's, you know, it's a very tricky situation.
You're kind of doing a kid-cuddy impression, actually.
What was I doing?
You were humming a little bit.
I am.
I agree.
No, no, no.
Don't kick cutting me.
Don't kick cutting me.
You're fighting cuddy.
Yo, if that Kendrick track is not AI, he's not built for this.
If that's him, if you, your wife gets called out in the song and then your response is that, it's okay.
Oh, that's what I was going to say.
Drake had so many fucking bars and it was so well done.
Do you think these guys are constantly writing things for their adversaries and then like just keeping it in note?
TMZ obituary shit.
What is that?
Like where they write up the obituary of the person before they die.
And then when they die, they just release the thing first.
I didn't know that they do that.
You never heard that?
No.
That's like, I thought, yeah.
Like, they'll write the obituary, like, this person died.
They had a great life.
This is who they are.
And they have it for all the celebrities.
And then once they die, they're able to just be like, this date, boom, be the first one to release.
But do they update it?
Well, they'll just be like their life, everything that they've done up to that point.
Yeah, but sometimes later in life, Harvey Weinstein gets called out for some shit and it changes the fucking obituary.
He's a dead guy.
Dude, don't bring that up.
Come on, bro.
You're not going to be able to do that.
I mean, you're going to bring that up.
Or you're just not going to be able to do that.
I think once we make it to TMZ, they start the obituary with that factory.
And then they just keep it going and just say sometimes you need to update.
But you have the nukes ready and you have the bars ready and then they come at you and you're like, boom, I got it right.
What a horrible business to be.
We got to be first with death.
Hey, write up an obituary for every person that's worth it.
Yeah.
Oh, some producer had to tell staff that.
Yeah, there's an intern doing that.
So you're just writing about the people that you idolize and look up to dying.
Angelina Jolie died of ovarian cancer.
Yeah.
What a sad fucking existence.
No, she can't.
She got that.
She can't.
She can't.
She did.
I think she had a clitorectomy or something.
What is it called?
She had a breast.
She had a clitorectomy.
No, she had not breasted.
She had a clitorectomy.
It's where you take away your, she take out your cervix.
No.
I think she had the breasts removed.
You're talking about Somalia.
She had a breast one, and then she also had a clitorectomy.
No.
She has no look at her.
She went full Elliott.
She got the clitorectomy.
She got her breast taken.
She got everything.
She got it all removed.
We need to look at this.
The breast is called a mastectomy.
And then when you get your pussy scooped out, it's called a clorectomy.
I'm pretty sure.
Oh, yeah, it's a clitorectomy.
Hysterectomy, clitorectomy.
It's close enough.
Can't be a hysterectomy.
Hurst removing the uterus.
Yes, it is a hysterectomy.
But it should be hurt.
It should be a hursterectomy.
Yeah, something like that, not a hysterectomy.
All right, all right.
This guy doing it right now, dude.
Sample that, bro.
We got to put that song.
Okay.
What do we got?
So they got the bars ready.
So when the video.
That's what I'm wondering.
It was just so many.
It was like so many good lines.
There were so many things put together.
Like he's been off tall for about three weeks.
And they've been building toward this.
Drake Feuds and Personal Attacks00:04:57
You think?
Yeah.
How long do you think it takes to write a song?
Well, we found out it was like 20 seconds with AI.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I thought it takes a while to really perfect it and make it good.
For Kendrick, at least, they've been building.
I'm sure they've had, because they've been building toward this beef for a decade.
So you think they are keeping shit?
I would assume.
I would assume.
Yeah, I think they have stuff that they plan to say in the tuck ready to go.
That's because they're saying this Kendrick four-year-old track, and it's like, I don't think he'll release that track, but he'll take lines from it.
Right.
Because it has to sound dated at this point.
Right.
Yeah, Wild.
But if this Kendrick track isn't real and he still hasn't dropped, he's looking funny in the light right now.
Yeah.
Because he wanted this battle.
Drake replied.
Yeah.
He should have dropped immediately right after.
Yeah.
Why do you think he's not?
I don't know.
He wanted it.
That's what's weird.
He wanted it.
He wanted this.
Yeah, I know.
From 10 years ago, he wanted it.
Yeah.
So that's where I'm like, what's going on?
And maybe he had to retool after, maybe the Whitney line made him be like, fuck, I got to go.
Now we got to go harder.
Harder.
Like, we got to take it there now.
Maybe he had that for later and now he's adjusted.
I don't know.
But every day that goes by, he's looking weaker and weaker.
I don't know if they got anything on Drake if the only thing Rick Ross says is that his nose is fake.
You know what I mean?
Like, if that's the only thing you're saying, I'm like, all right, that's probably nah.
Something's going on because the way that all these people turned on Drake, he did something.
Like, he's fucked enough girls and pillow talked probably enough where it's like they got a lot of shit on him or a reason to not like him.
What I heard was.
What you heard?
What I heard is this might get sampled.
I agree.
And you know, now that now that I'm involved in this, you know, I'm privy to certain information that regulars like yourselves might not know.
Metro hits you.
But no, But what I heard is that Drake and his crew apparently have been like talking like tough guy street shit for a while.
Oh, yeah.
When, and like doing a lot of subliminals that maybe we're not even getting.
So it's like really, really inside shit.
And that only the other people that were involved in the lines back know.
And so they're like, yo, what are we doing?
Like, why are you acting street?
Why are you acting tough?
Like, we're all mature.
We're all old.
We're all making money.
Enough of this kind of bullshit with you as act trying to act tough and shit, sending the shots.
That's just what I heard.
That's just what I heard.
I mean, that has been happening.
I didn't even think that was a private thing.
Drake talks about don't come to the six, you know, my goons will take care of a lot of stuff.
And that does actually happen.
I've heard this is true.
Right.
There's a lot of people that just want to be in his favor.
So it's like they'll snatch a chain and then Drake can get the chain back.
And now he looks like, hey, I'm big boss in this town.
Yeah.
But there's definitely more.
This is personal.
Especially this is personal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Ross thing does feel the weekend shit.
This is personal.
The weekend shit felt more personal than Ross.
I hear some people saying, I'm like, this is beef that they're going to go on tour again, premeditated, which I don't know.
Ross is going a little too far with that, but the weekend shit felt personal.
Yeah, they've been not liking each other for a while.
Because it goes back to ever since, like, I feel Drake introduced the world to the weekend and he was supposed to sign to Drake's label.
He ended up not signing to his label, then blows up.
So that's, you know, Drake is looking like that at that, like, yo, I put you on, and I don't get compensated.
But then later on down the line, it's like weekend claims to be from Toronto.
Drake says he's not from Toronto.
They moved to LA.
Oh, that was in that distract.
There's some gay rumors or references.
Like one of the managers of weekends label XO, his name is Cash.
He is that guy supposedly in Toronto.
He spends a lot of money, but there's some rumored stuff that, you know, maybe he might be by, you know.
So, yeah.
So it's all there's a lot of personal behind the scenes stuff going on.
But why now?
Why now?
I mean, it's been brewing.
This is like Marvel.
Yeah, this is really good.
This shit has been brewing for a long time.
This is 10 years later, and now we're finally getting our endgate.
Yeah.
And I think people, I think, once maybe Kendrick came out and was there were like, all right, now that Kendrick is here, I'm a little more comfortable stepping out.
Yeah.
If it's just me, I don't know about that.
But if Kendrick is there, I feel safe with it.
Yeah.
But again, if that is the actual track that Kendrick dropped, y'all miscalculated the fuck out of me.
He better come with it.
He got to go ether.
Marvel Rumors Brewing Since 201400:03:14
It's not strong enough.
It is crazy that this is happening right now.
And people are like, it's war.
And Israel.
Iran.
Palestine.
And people are like, there's a conflict over there.
This is war.
OVO and XO are going at it.
It's war.
It's endgame.
It's Avengers.
What's happened in the Middle East?
They're going to figure that shit out.
We got war on our land.
When Iran sent the drones, I said the most insensitive thing in the group chat.
I was like, oh, shit, Drake Starter wars.
Immediately, I'm like, oh.
It is crazy, though.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break real quick because we're going to talk about something that you hopefully never need.
But if you are injured because of the negligence of another, you deserve to be paid.
Look, that sucks.
That whole thing sucks.
It's really hard.
But if you are ever injured because of someone else's neglect, one easy thing you can do is check out Morgan and Morgan.
Morgan and Morgan, we talked about it's America's largest injury law firm.
Over 100 offices, over a thousand lawyers, wherever you are, they probably got you.
And they've recovered over $20 billion for over 500,000 clients.
That's a lot of money.
So like I said, getting injured because of someone else's neglect is hard to go through.
But luckily, submitting an injury claim with Morgan and Morgan is easy.
So if you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan.
Their fee is free unless you win.
I'm going to repeat that because it's worth repeating.
Their fee is free unless you win.

This is a paid advertisement.
Now let's get back to the show.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break real quick because we got to talk to you about this bad boy right here.
This is incredibly important for some of you who have a bad habit that we can't name because of YouTube rules.
And instead of this high-quality wooden product you see in my hand, you see maybe like a roll tobacco or like an electronic thing.
Can't say the names.
But anyway, you need to quit that habit.
And quitting cold turkey is hard.
It's fucking hard.
People fail over and over again.
You know what's easier than quitting that bad habit, just replacing it with something that's not bad for you.
That's where fume comes in.
Fume is an innovative, award-winning, flavored air device that uses flavored air instead of vapor.
And instead of electronics, it's completely natural.
And instead of the harmful chemicals that are in those other products, fume just uses delicious flavors.
You get what I'm saying?
Instead of bad, fume is good.
It's a habit you are free to enjoy and makes replacing your bad habit easy.
It also has a nice weight to it, quality, craftsmanship, and it comes with an adjustable airflow dial, which I love fidgeting with.
Movable parts.
Helps if you're feeling a little anxious or you just, you know, you move a lot, you fidget a lot.
This helps burn off some of that energy.
Tastes fantastic.
Feels fantastic.
Looks fantastic.
And they just released a magnetic stand for your fume so you don't lose it around the house anymore.
You just place it on the magnetic stand.
You can even spin it around on there.
Again, digital way, my friend.
Embassy Attack Retaliation Fears00:15:46
So, guys, we're in April.
Get your shit together in 2024 with the good habit by going to tryfume.com slash flagrant and getting the journey pack today.
Also, fume is giving listeners of this show 10% off when they use our code flagrant to help make starting the good habit that much easier.
Again, that is T-R-Y-F-U-M.com slash flagrant.
Now let's get back to the show.
What is happening over there?
World War III bucked off.
That's what all the...
What you got?
So what exactly happened over the weekend?
That's all the news said.
They're basically like, look, Iran fired a bunch of drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles into Israel.
Okay.
That was the headline.
World War III is going crazy.
First time that these two nations, despite proxy war's intention, that they've actually been direct attack ever in history.
Wow.
Okay.
That's like a big deal.
So in other words, Israel's never directly attacked Iran.
Iran's never directly attacked Israel.
They've both attacked their positions in other countries, i.e. Syria.
Right.
So Iran maybe blew up some Israeli sites in Syria.
Israel blew up, I think, the embassy or something there.
Okay, got it, got it, got it.
So that's the headline is like, boom, World War III is happening.
And why is this World War III?
Because these two nations, one, they're both sovereign and both, they have a lot of military power.
Obviously, Israel has all of America.
They got nuclear weapons.
Iran is working on a nuclear program.
Some people believe they have nuclear weapons.
Some people believe they can contract nuclear weapons through North Korea.
So it's like potentially two nuclear powers or potentially nuclear powers going at it in like a hot war.
Right.
And they all have allies that are supposed to step in.
Right.
The boys are going to war, then you got to be there for the boys.
Right.
That's the idea.
Okay.
So why is this happening?
The real answer goes back fucking a thousand years.
But like the close answer for why it's happening right now is that on April 1st, Israel attacked an embassy in Damascus in Syria.
Yeah.
An Iranian embassy.
Got it.
So it depends on how you look at it.
Right.
Give me all the looks.
So it's like, depending on the perspective you want to take, which again, this is.
Who do we take?
Who do you want to go first?
Okay.
Okay.
I guess you could take, you could take Iran's perspective.
Yeah, let's go Iran's first.
Iran's perspective.
End with the good guys.
There's an embassy in Syria, all right?
Embassies typically under international law are like sovereign soil.
Like these are these are our nations.
And if you attack an embassy, they're like attacking the country.
And there's like different kind of rules on this.
Embassies have been attacked in the past.
Our embassy got attacked.
Our embassy got attacked.
Shout out to Hillary Clinton handled that beautifully.
Yeah, exactly.
Like Israel's embassy in Argentina got attacked in the 90s from Iran.
Like a bunch of people, it's like this has happened before and it hasn't really been considered war, but under international law, it is.
So if you attack an embassy, not a good look.
So basically Iran's like, yo, you just attacked our embassy.
What the fuck?
We have to retaliate.
And why'd they attack it?
So Israel's perspective is that they basically got intelligence that there's seven high-ranking IRGC, like basically Iranian government officials in one building.
Now the building is technically the consulate next to the embassy.
Whoa.
So it's like an annex that's rented by the embassy.
So it's not, so technically they're like, it's not technically the embassy.
It's not technically the embassy.
You're renting it.
If you check the war, look at the town, but technically.
Look at it.
Yeah.
So basically they attack the building right next to the embassy.
Shouldn't have been in the consulate.
Should have stayed in the embassy if I were you.
They killed seven high-ranking Iranian officials.
Two civilian casualties, technically.
I was like, I read dubious reports on that.
Like goes either way.
But I think two civilians.
One of the Iranian officials that died was like a high-ranking dude that allegedly from Israeli intelligence was an architect of the October 7th attacks.
My understanding is that maybe a couple of them were also working with the Go.
Yeah, so a bunch of them were basically alleged to be like arms dealers and like for Hezbollah.
Yeah, and like basically supply chain operatives for Hezbollah and Hamas.
And Hezbollah, the issue is obviously the concern is up north in Lebanon where they're positioned.
So if the rockets are getting fired from their drones or anything is getting fired from up north of Israel, they're like, okay, if we can cut that off.
Now, I don't know if that does end up cutting it off.
I think you can just slide another person into that position.
But that's how valuable these people are.
According to obviously Israel's actions, it seems like they saw these targets were high value and hard to replace.
And they're all in the same place at one time.
So they're trying to launch like a surgical attack to neutralize these seven high-value targets to try to stop money and weapons flowing into flowing into Hezbollah and Lebanon and also getting retaliation for what some people believe was an architect for October 7th.
So that's why Israel did it.
Okay.
So now Iran's like, okay, you just attacked our embassy.
We can't look pussy and be like, all right, you just killed our guys.
So now Iran's in a tricky position, right?
They get attacked and they're like, okay, if we launch a full-fledged war with Israel.
America comes in.
America's getting out.
We're going to get a lot of war with America.
This is a huge problem.
But if we do nothing.
Then everybody thinks we pussy.
Exactly.
Can't have the world thinking we pussy because we got these huge oil reserves.
Yeah.
And if once that's valid, if they start thinking that we pussy, we're not going to defend ourselves.
Then all of a sudden these oil reserves ain't going to be Iranian anymore.
They're going to be whoever really wants it.
So they all link up.
Ayatollah's in there.
They're all talking.
Do we do a diss track?
Do we do what are we like?
What's the move, right?
Yeah.
So they basically are like, all right, we're going to launch a bunch of drones.
We're going to launch the easiest things to get shot down ever.
And we're going to do a press conference 72 hours before.
So we're going to do this press conference and we're going to be like, hey.
And again, even this is disputed whether you're on like the left or right within Iran and Israel.
So like people on the right in Israel would be like, no, this was an aggravated attack.
They were trying to kill civilians and they're declaring war, a direct war, not a proxy war on Israel.
Right.
And they're saying like, if you look at the types of missiles that were used, there's cruise missiles.
There were ballistic missiles.
These are like fast.
Like these are hard to intercept.
These are trying to kill people.
If you look at kind of like the left side, they'd be like, look, they're not really trying to kill people.
They're letting you know.
They're letting you know.
It's also launching from Iran.
So it takes time to get there.
Remember, Iran's not next door.
Yeah.
This is a...
It's got to fly over Jordan.
It's got to go a long way.
So they basically hold a press conference.
They're like, hey, we're launching these things.
Some people think they tipped off Netanyahu.
Some people think they tipped off the Americans.
Like, hey, these drones are coming, just so you know.
They launch all of them and they don't overwhelm one specific area.
They kind of launch it in like a disparate kind of attack so that it's easier to neutralize.
Like if they were trying, some people are saying if they're trying to like hit something specific, they would overwhelm one specific area that the Iron Dome couldn't try to neutralize.
And the way the Iron Dome essentially functions, it sends its own missile up and hits the target in the air.
So if you launch it all in one specific area, maybe those exactly.
So that something would go through.
Again, this is a potential take.
Obviously, if you're there in Israel, you're seeing these missiles launch.
It looks pretty fucking hot.
It looks pretty real to you.
Yeah.
Right?
Looks like something's going to land.
Did anything land?
So 99% of the missiles were intercepted.
Okay.
Missiles and drones.
I'm using that word interchangeably.
99% were intercepted.
Some did land.
And one, there were no casualties.
One like young girl was injured.
But I think she's in a stable condition.
I think there was some damage to a military base.
Military base, like an air base in one of the deserts.
I've heard the name of it was also damaged, but no casualties.
And so it's like, and then Iran, it seems like based off their press release, which came out on Twitter, which is just so funny to me that countries are communicating through Twitter.
They did all caps, like, America, stay out of it.
Is my dad on Twitter the one tweeting this?
But basically, they're saying, we're completely happy with this attack.
Like, this is exactly what we wanted.
This is concluded.
And we're moving on.
And we're moving on.
Like, everyone shut up.
And so it seems like they were happy with 99% interception and then no one got injured, which indicates to me that Iran didn't really want to hit a bunch of targets and didn't want to.
They're trying to puff their chest.
They're trying to save face.
We just can't look pussy.
We can't look pussy 100%.
Nobody died, so you got no reason to come back to us.
We look like we got our get back.
You don't really need to get back.
We made you spend a lot of money.
I think because there's another component to this, which is the financial side.
Which is wild.
So they shot, and now they're saying no beef.
They're saying, hey, we got our get back.
Like, you killed our guys and you attacked our embassy.
They really, Jay Colette.
They just went straight.
Well, they were just like, look, we're even.
It's a watch.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they did, Jay Coletta.
But they didn't go, we're sorry for doing that.
J. Cole was like, I should have never done that on my character.
They were like, we got you back, didn't we?
And didn't they shoot the building with the Red Heifer building?
There were missiles intercepted over it, but it doesn't look like they were directly targeting it.
But I don't know exactly what the targets were.
Because they too believe in the Dome of the Rock.
This is a obviously a historic site for them.
But that's why I'm like, why would they shoot?
It seems like they're like, hey, hey, we went back at you.
So it's like, you know, this wasn't.
Yeah.
And Iran, it doesn't seem like wants a direct mom's winking at Al.
If you don't see the wink, then you just don't understand.
I just heard hot guys have a stroke.
I'll tell you.
Exactly.
And I said, hey, hey, we get back to you.
But it doesn't seem like Iran wants a direct aggravated world war with Israel and America.
It seems like they want to retaliate as a show of force.
Their economy is not doing good.
And the Ayatollah doesn't have a ton of support from the public from the Irani people.
So he's not in a position to be like, all right, we're doing a ground invasion.
So now we're in a position where Israel, and it seems like Netanyahu can actually use this as leverage.
Netanyahu is kind of like, yo, we're not, we don't hate this idea of some type of direct conflict with Iran from the analysts that I've listened to and the stuff that I've read because he's now able to use this to deflect from what's happening in Gaza.
And the second biggest and maybe the biggest enemy to Israel that's not Hamas is Western media and like the perception of the West.
So now he's able to be like, dude, we're getting attacked from this major nation that has potentially nuclear warheads.
Like, look at us.
We're fucking getting rinsed over here.
We got to do something.
So they can get potentially more money.
They can get more support from the West.
And now you have more politicians like, yo, we got to back them up.
And the West has sympathy for Gaza.
It does not have sympathy for Iran.
It does not have sympathy for the leadership that constantly say death to America or death to the West.
So it's going to be very hard to justify supporting Iran over Israel in this situation.
So even if there are people in America who do not like Israel, they dislike Iran more.
And your enemy of your enemy is your friend.
So it is, it could be Netanyahu can potentially delay elections too so we can kind of preserve that.
That's what he needs to do, I think.
Because I think he, October 6th, 7th, he used as kind of like, hey, this is good PR for us.
We're going to run with this.
And then that kind of faded.
And then the West mainly, it seems like they've switched and been like, what the fuck are y'all doing?
And now that same thing could apply here, but at a certain point, people will start to be like, guys, they sent that there.
That was a bullshit attack.
You're just using, you know what I mean?
Like over time, the PR war doesn't last.
This thing only lasts for a moment in time.
Yeah.
Netanyahu said he's going to get his get back in a strong way.
That's what he said.
He said, we're going to retaliate.
And America basically said, we're not going to participate in the retaliation.
So they were like, it's up to you, whatever you're going to do.
But it seems like America's trying to tell them, like, yo, chill.
Yeah.
And so it depends on if they want to escalate.
It seems like it doesn't really matter if America participates in the retaliation.
It matters if America defends Israel from what Iran will do next.
Which they probably will.
Okay, so then they have carplancha to do whatever the fuck they want.
Yeah.
So it's like, yeah, go on, do your thing, do whatever you want, as long as daddy is here to bail you out when shit hits the fucking fan.
But that's basically their bluff to say, will America defend us like they have?
So like even in this attack, the money is interesting that you brought up.
So it seems like Iran shot, I forget how many, like a couple hundred like drones, ballistic missiles.
Some people put the total of like six to ten million dollars for that attack.
Yeah.
And then the missile defense from Iron Dome, but the majority of the missiles, it seems like from what I've read, were shot down from American fighter jets.
It was, yeah, because the Houthis, I think, also launched some.
And I think the Hezbollah also launched at the same time.
So it's American fighter jets.
There's, I believe, Jordanian.
Jordan.
And then some people led Saudi Arabia, but it's not positive whether or not Saudi Arabia.
I think Egypt, too.
Yeah.
But there was other countries that were supportive of this.
And it makes sense if the missiles are flying over your country, you want to take any risks.
They neutralize stuff in their airspace.
And it's also interesting for Iran to basically say, oh, which countries are going to shoot down our shit?
So they get to kind of test like, oh, we're waging some type of hot war.
Which countries are letting it happen and which ones are going to shoot down ourselves.
And I don't know if they can get this data, but it would be quite interesting that they're learning where all the anti-missile defense systems are.
So not just the Iron Dome.
They learned where their missiles can get shot down from Egypt.
from Jordan, from any other place in the pathway.
And I don't know if that data can, if that data is present.
I don't know if there's some way where like the drones themselves can see a missile coming and from where it was shot, but they would have the locations.
And I don't know if that changes routing, but that could be valuable data for them for war in the future.
Yeah.
I'm sure they're pulling intelligence.
But the defense, again, the attack was like six to 10 mil.
The defense, depending on which source, was like 1.6 billion.
Jesus Christ.
So super expensive.
So it's a money game.
And that's the thing about war.
It's like war is a money game as well.
We think once we get into war, that shit is just free.
Yeah.
Right.
But you need to pay for each bullet.
You need to pay for each bomb.
You need to pay for each drone.
And I think that was what happened with the war, the proxy war in Afghanistan between the U.S. and Russia, where basically we armed, I think, Afghani soldiers with these like anti-helicopter missiles.
They were like that you could use from the ground.
You just throw it up on your shoulder.
So a helicopter costs millions of dollars.
One of these missiles costs thousands.
Eventually Russia's like, this is too expensive.
We can't have our helicopters shot down every single fucking time with these $1,000 missiles.
So there is a version where it's a war of financial attrition.
But why such the big difference?
I also got the numbers as estimates.
It wasn't like officially released.
So there might not be, it might not be those exact numbers, but it's a really, really discouraging.
I can also see blindly sending a weapon as opposed to intercepting that weapon at an exact point in time and making sure they collide.
That just takes a lot more technology.
You see what I'm saying?
The cost of shooting a gun versus if you had a gun that you could shoot that then would hit the bullet of the gun coming at you.
Yeah, but that system is already in place.
I'm sure it's money to keep maintaining it, but still it's like the cost really is just the missile that went up to defend it or to like shoot it down.
I understand what you're saying.
It's the intelligence and the intelligence you pay for once.
And then you just have to put that intelligence into whatever missile it is.
I understand what he's coming from, but let's just, let's just assume right now that it is more expensive for some reason.
There is that financial liability that Jordan, Israel, America, maybe Saudi, maybe Egypt have to take on.
And how much longer will they take it on?
That's the question.
Could it also be a shot to Israel?
Like, look, you're going to shoot all these down, but it's going to be expensive.
Nukes and Mutual Destruction00:03:56
If you're going to try to kill our people, just know that that shit is going to cost you.
Like Israel specifically, don't do this again because it's not worth it financially for you to kill our people.
No, no, it's the other way expensive.
Israel had to pay $1.6 billion, right?
Yes.
So Iran could be saying to Israel, look, don't, if you kill our people, we're going to make you spend a lot of money.
We might have a little war with you, but you're going to spend a lot of fucking money and it won't be worth it.
I got you.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's a version of it.
I mean, you only have so much money for a military budget.
So, yeah, I don't know.
So what do we think happens?
So now we wait basically for Israel to retaliate.
And do you think they will?
Because it seems like the U.S. is like, yo, chill the fuck out.
It depends when.
So people are inspecting like with Passover, like, would they try to instigate that and then potentially face further escalation during Passover?
Like how is Passover?
I think it starts in now or in like a week or a couple of days.
Like it's like about to happen.
Okay.
22nd to April 30th.
Yeah, so like a week.
So basically it's like, and these things move kind of slow.
So like this thing happened the first and then the retaliation was the 14th.
So like there's a two-week span.
So it's like they have time, whether or not they do it in the window, it might be like a month later.
So I think with Soleimani, when U.S. neutralized him, the Iranian leader, they retaliated like a month later on like a base, which again didn't, I don't think killed anyone or like it just like hit the bit, hit the base, but they gave some warning, which again, it's just like a show of force.
Like, hey, you attack our guy, we're coming back at you.
Yeah.
So yeah, it's just a matter of waiting.
And then if they basically try to climb the escalation ladder.
America might have to get involved.
There might be like a plea.
It's so crazy listening to these like analysts.
Yeah.
Like they have like the people that are profiting directly from war on the TV channels.
Yeah.
And they're like, what do you think we should do about this?
They're like, we need to nuke Iran.
What is going on?
Yeah.
This is crazy.
But like a lot of them are like, yeah, we need to like take out their nuclear every day that's happening that we're not neutralizing nuclear power in Iran.
Like it's just waiting for a nuclear attack from them.
And it's like, and then people are claiming like, oh, we need to do this and we need this defense because it's preventing a larger war.
Like imagine all these missiles all of a sudden hit Israel.
Is their retaliation like five times more?
Is it way greater?
And now we're in a full-on nuclear war?
Like, so is America's protection preventing this nuclear war?
Yeah.
It depends.
These are the war games we play.
I'm not built for war, bro.
Yeah, I agree.
Just that statement.
Oh, we need to nuke them.
Like all the people that would die when that shit happened.
It's just crazy.
They want to hit the nuclear facility.
They're like, you got to take this out.
Like, it's wild.
I can't have that on my jacket.
Let's say, for example, Iran does get nuclear weapons.
Right.
And I know that they've flexed and said that they were going to use it.
If they're not even willing to escalate past this in the current conflict that they have with Israel, what evidence is there to say that they will once they have nukes?
Knowing full well that if they fire one, Israel's firing one immediately.
It's mutually assured destruction.
That is how the Cold War is.
Yeah, I don't really understand the logic behind it.
I mean, I guess depending on what perspective you would take, and I'm kind of guessing here, is that you look at Iran's proxies and you're like, oh, they're agitating in the region.
Like the last six months specifically, Hamas and Hezbollah have been like sending direct attacks at Israel.
So Israel's like, oh, they're trying to get rid of us.
They're trying to.
So they might not do it as themselves, but they might equip Hamas.
They might equip Hezbollah.
And they have been, it seems like.
And so they've already been engaging in this proxy war with us.
So even though we're not in a declared war, we're in war right now.
That's okay.
So Iran might not do it as themselves.
They might deny any connection whatsoever, but they have the capability of not only funding, but arming a proxy that absolutely would.
And Israel can't take that risk.
So it's these soft power plays where it's like, okay, it's Hamas versus Israel, but it's also kind of like America versus Iran.
UFC Fight Belt Power Dynamics00:15:11
Yeah.
And if they want to get involved in their alliances.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
So that's why I think people like the Drake J. Cole thing.
Yo, it's so much easier to do.
Can I just say something about this?
Like, I was...
No, no, thanks, John.
I mean, it's like, we've said this before.
It's like we've been so critical of the government, the elites, the managerial class, the powers that be.
It's like they give us little drama to fight over, like racism and sexism.
It's like, thank God.
How much better is that than what the fuck is going on in the Middle East?
Like, it is so much better for us to talk about how horrible racism and sexism is and be like, we got to figure this out.
We got to fix this shit.
Then figure out thousands of years of fucking history.
Half of it is mythology.
Red heifers are getting sent to the fucking Middle East.
People are going to come back from the dead.
Dome and Iraq is going to be exploded or not.
Who knows what the fuck is going on?
I won't talk about Drake and Rick Ross.
I want to talk about Drake's nose.
It is, and the fact that we are spitting in their faces, the people in charge that have given us this kind, loving distraction.
UFC 300.
Yo, we got to salute somebody awesome.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Fucking awesome.
We were in, where were we, Charlotte?
Yes, Saturday.
We were in Charlotte.
And we were able to watch it in the green room.
And it was, yeah, that Max Gage fight was fucking insane.
Obese, bro.
Unbelievable.
I remember him doing that the first time.
The let's bang in the middle of the ring.
He did that against, what's the name?
I forget.
But I remember watching it being like, yo, that's so far.
Yo, Kevin told me that was going to happen because Max is winning the whole fight.
And then Kevin was like, yo, at the last like 20 seconds, Max is going to do this shit where he's like, let's come in the center of the ring and swing on each other.
It's like a thing he does.
Like, let's just go for it.
These last 20.
He just invites a guy to the center of the ring.
He won.
I think every round, maybe he lost one.
But to do that when you're winning against a guy with crazy knockout power, which apparently Gage has.
I'm obviously a casual.
But to see him do that and then deliver, unfucking believable.
Calls him into the center of the ring.
They start banging.
Knocks Gage out clean with two seconds left.
He has fight of the night and knockout of the night, makes $600,000.
So far.
Unbelievable, dude.
Unbelievable.
We were going nuts.
Yeah, it was just crazy.
Just crazy to see.
Yeah.
I mean, Max was a huge underdog in this fight.
Like, he's coming up in weight to meet Gage.
And Gage is, I don't think, a small 155.
No, he looks big.
Yeah.
So it's like, yeah, it was unbelievable.
And it's tough because it's one of the things, like, you start to meet these guys and hang out with them.
And they're really sweet guys.
So it's hard to root for one of them in there.
So you're kind of rooting for the best fight, but the best fight often hurts both of them the most.
It's just, oh, yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
But Max is just such a fucking stud.
And now here's this example of like he loses the three fights to Volk.
You think his career is going downhill.
Retirement might be coming up.
All of a sudden, he gets a couple big wins.
Yeah.
And this one right here, now he's on top of the fucking world.
Yeah.
I wonder if he does it to win Fight of the Knights.
What?
Like, I wonder if that's like his strategy.
I think he's just a Hawaiian who likes to bang.
He loves to think of the night.
I think he's just a Hawaiian who loves to fucking.
Because I was looking, he's won like seven Fight of the Nights.
So here's the thing that he said, he's like, I knew Justin would have given me that opportunity.
So I gave it to him.
What that means to me is he knows he's winning the fight.
And he's like, Justin would have given me the opportunity to get it back, to go all in and get it back with 10 seconds left.
Lose all the hard work that you've done without this.
Exactly.
So I gave him the opportunity.
So he knew he was that far ahead, and he still was willing to take that risk and give him that opportunity.
Yeah, yeah.
He also has confidence in his chin.
I think that's the big thing with Max, where he's just like, I know I could take a shot, but if I land.
And this is nothing with Max.
Like, yes, he knocked out Korean zombie with a big overhand right, but Max has never been known for one punch power and has gotten these two like really big knockouts recently.
Now he's coming up and waiting.
It looks like he did it right this time.
But he came up in wait and fought Dustin.
He didn't do it right.
This, he looks like he actually trained.
Like he looked like he filled out like his stature.
He looked more muscular.
Maybe he has more power at this weight.
Maybe.
I mean, so cool.
I mean, so now, I mean, the world this is.
He could go back down and fight Ilya.
He could maybe fight Islam at 155.
Like he could do whatever the fuck he wants.
And he's one of these guys who the people love.
Like he's such an endearing fighter.
Yes.
That the next fight is going to be pay-per-view.
It's going to be for a belt and it's going to be for crazy money.
And he's going to fucking cash in.
And what if he wins back the belt one more time?
Oh my God.
I wonder if it almost looks better for Gage too.
Because like if you lose in decision, I feel like that looks one way, but losing in like just a like a just a banging like ending looks better.
Yeah, I mean, it shows that you want to engage.
I think we'll always watch Justin fight no matter what.
He's just such like an engaging fighter.
But the thing with Justin, and I think Max brought this up, is like Justin didn't need to take this fight.
So Justin was in line probably to get a title shot.
He's taking this fight, which is all risk and no reward.
If he beats Max, everybody goes, well, yeah, you should have beat Max.
You weigh more than him.
Like your career is, you're more of an upside loss.
Exactly.
So he has everything to lose, still takes it because he's that much of a gamer.
And then he goes out in devastating fashion.
But yeah, I don't think that he's hurt.
Like, I think anytime he's willing to fight again, we're showing up.
He just might not get, we definitely's not getting the belt.
He's not getting the shot for the belt now.
Can't get the shot for the belt off of L. You know?
Yeah.
It was cool that Max acknowledged that too.
That was like the first thing he did.
Yeah.
The post-fight.
Yo, Max is the fucking.
He's awesome.
He said this shit about the Ilya Taporio guy.
Like they're like, Ilya was kind of looking the other way after the knockout.
And then Max, initially, if you're Max, like a reporter is asking that question.
They're trying to get a good sound bite out of you.
Max knee jerk goes, well, I mean, I don't know who he is.
Like maybe he's socially awkward.
He doesn't know how to behave in that moment.
Like he had this really like empathic reaction.
You just knocked a guy out.
You got all the fucking adrenaline going through your system.
It's easy to go, fuck that guy.
I'm going to take him out.
Instead, he goes, well, maybe he didn't know what to do with himself in that moment.
So what a beautiful thing to say.
Yeah, it's fire.
Right?
Like, and a thoughtful thing to say.
You are the guy.
And also think of it.
If you're Ilya, you just watch the guy that now you have to fight brutally knock someone out that was bigger than you by 10 pounds and box beautifully throughout the round throughout the five rounds.
Of course, you're not going, awesome, let's go.
You're thinking, you're like, how do I take this guy out?
How do I beat him?
And you know the camera is going to be on you.
Anyway, Max is a fucking man.
And hopefully JC, Justin, you know, rests up and he's good.
You know, shout out to Justin as well.
You know, what was also fire is Henry Cejudo and Calvin Gaslin came to the show.
Fushroll, they're both fucking awesome guys.
Shouts to you guys.
But what's also cool, I had to miss the last fight of the night, the Pereira fight.
And then they went and watched my set.
Then we all get off.
And then I just hear them analyzing.
What were they saying?
What was their takes on?
Well, they said something that was interesting about Pereira.
I'm just like, this guy scares the fuck out of me.
I'm so glad Izzy doesn't want to fight him again.
We love Izzy.
He's terrifying.
And then Henry's like, he also is really good at picking his fights.
He is fucking great, but he also picked very intelligently.
And he has like a kind of like a mentor-mentee relationship with Kelvin a little bit.
He's like, Kelvin, because Kelvin seems like he'll just fight anybody.
I don't give a fuck.
And he's like, Kelvin, look what Pereira did.
He went at the big dogs, got title shots early, got guys that matched up with his style.
He was very intelligent in how he picked his fights.
And that's not to say he's not awesome.
He's fucking awesome.
But he also did it very intelligently.
And I just thought that was a take where I'm such a casual.
I'm looking at this guy like, oh, well, that's just God in a ring.
I think what he cannot be touched.
What I'm trying to say is that like he picked fights with guys that are known for their striking.
Yes.
And Poton's strength is his striking.
He's coming from kickboxing.
He doesn't have a big jiu-jitsu background.
He's wrestling.
He doesn't have it all.
So what he's probably saying is if he was in there with a traditional wrestler, it wouldn't be as good of a match.
Maybe it wouldn't be great.
But that being said, he came into the UFC and the UFC, I'm sure, brought him in for one reason.
There's one guy on the planet that brutally knocked out their superstar named Israel Adisanya.
And that man is Photon.
So they're like, if we get this guy in and we feed him a couple guys that he can knock out, we can build up this big fight and boom, we're going to make tons of money.
And it worked.
And then they had another one and it worked perfectly.
So it wasn't, I don't think, as much him picking his fights.
I think it was the UFC knowing we want Izzy to fight this guy because that's what everybody wants.
And then after that, the other people that have been the champs or the people in line have been strikers.
Like the fact that Jamal Hill wanted to strike with him, I mean, it shows Jamal's confidence in his striking, but shit, the next person that gets in there with him is going for the fucking legs.
And before the fight, we went to lunch and then we're asking him about Jamal Hill's chances.
And Henry was like, no, Pereira is not.
Pereira is different.
I mean, the first punch he throws, it couldn't cut him.
It was great.
Unbelievable.
And to get...
And I like the hit that's a good thing.
What was that?
The Cobby Lane, bro.
What is that?
The TikTok dude?
Oh, yeah.
Italian kid who like do some shit and then show how you should do it easier.
Yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
You call him Italian.
Yeah, the black kid.
The black kid was clearly Italian.
Yeah, yeah.
That's adorable.
That was the most adorable shit I've ever seen in my life.
He's so Italian.
Listen, he's probably never been to Africa.
You could call him the African kid and everybody knows who the fuck you're talking about.
That guy's Italian.
I don't even see.
Why is he African?
Sicilian?
Yeah, Sicilian.
But yeah, it was just fucking crazy that fight.
I mean, I didn't.
Yeah, so I missed.
I just saw the highlights that he got tapped in the nuts, and then the rep was going to do something, and he was like, chill.
Yeah.
And then he knocked a motherfucker out.
That's insane.
Yeah.
That's like a Thanos type shit.
Let him have fun.
How many fights has he had so far, Pereira?
In the UFC?
Yeah.
I mean, it's not that many kickboxing, but in the UFC, not that many.
And he's, I forget what it was, I think it was like seven, eight fights.
He's knocked out, or he's beaten five belt holders.
Yeah.
It's like crazy.
Like, Strickland, Izzy, like, yeah.
I mean, it's, it's unbelievable.
I mean, in fairness, like, he beat Strickland before he's a champ.
Sure.
It's unprecedented.
Now, the UFC is killing it.
And they just announced the McGregor fight.
Oh, yeah.
Like, McGregor Chandler.
So that's going to be wild.
I mean, yeah, they're just killing it.
They just keep on doing it.
They have a great roster of fighters that, and they've conditioned a style, which is, it rewards brutality.
Like, that's the thing.
The fighters know if they go in there and perform, they make more money.
Where boxing, they go, if I just win, I'll get more money.
So a lot of times boxing matches don't have even close to brutality because they have been rewarded for victory.
Whereas UFC is, even if you lose, if you lose in an exciting way, that's the fight of the night shit.
They should keep that forever.
It's so smart.
That's the thing with UFC.
It's more than just like, okay, yeah, we established this business and then we fucking put on some shows.
It's the way you've curated a culture of fighting and the way that you've curated an expectation for your fighters and your fans.
Because now if the fighters go out there and fight an awesome fight, like for example, Aljaman went out there and he fought Cater.
That was awesome too.
So he fought, yo, shout out.
He fought an awesome technical fight, dominated K, right?
Like at one point, Suplex up.
It was fucking crazy.
But it wasn't as engaging and exciting as the UFC fans are used to, right?
And he'd acknowledge it.
I think Dana like defended him.
But he goes in there knowing it.
And he's like, and he's in a tricky situation where he's like, this is how I know I can beat these guys.
But if I want to make the most money, I'm going to have to take more risk and probably change certain aspects of my style or just do DDTs non-stop.
Because he knows the culture of the UFC and what the fans want.
And that's important.
Boxing did not have that.
Boxing was, all right, I'm going to stick a move.
I love boxing, so I like it, but I'm going to stick a move, not get touched, and then win the belt.
And then somebody got to try and get the belt from me.
Yeah.
And since there was nothing else for us to watch in terms of fight sports that we cared about, we just paid for it every single time.
Now there is.
So you better be fucking exciting.
Now we're watching Dravante because Dravante's knocking your fucking head off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's another path.
Like if you're not like, oh, I'm not the most technical guy, I'm like a Germanman fighter, but I can put on a show.
It's like, yeah, you can make an amazing career.
I mean, I love Floyd, right?
Floyd is my favorite ever.
I think he's the greatest boxer ever.
I think he's the greatest great ever.
I don't know if Floyd is even close to his big if he is around at this time.
He'd be as successful without a doubt.
Or maybe he would change his style.
But knowing, the fans knowing they could go watch UFC and watch carnage and brutality and knockouts and blood.
I don't know if they're signing up to watch him perfectly defend and outpoint his opponent.
I don't know if he would be as big.
He would be as dominant without a doubt.
There's not even a question.
I wonder if he would change his style and take more risk specifically to compete with what was going on in the UFC.
Possibly, but I just think he, the lead up to the fights and the marketing, the branding.
He's fantastic.
He sold a story where it's like, oh, I want to see this guy lose.
No, no, you're right.
No, he got in our hearts.
He played the emotions.
Like this Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney fight, we're going to watch it.
I'm looking forward to this.
We're going to watch it.
And Ryan deserves 90% of the money for this fight.
I don't know if Devin said anything the entire time.
He's just there.
Devin could be like, I'm not fighting.
This is with all due respect.
Devin go, I'm not fighting.
And Ryan could go, okay, I'm fighting Margot Robbie.
Way better than that.
The same amount of people, if not more, are showing up to watch that fucking wave.
He is carrying this promotion on his fucking back.
Devin should be thanking him every day in the DF.
They're facing off each other, talking shit, cursing.
Who are you cursing at?
That man's getting you paid.
He's going to pay for your kids, your kids' kids, your kids.
They're going to make crazy money on this fight because Ryan convinced everybody he's fucking crazy.
What is it?
You think it's an act?
Whatever it is, Devin's getting picked up.
Devin should be showing up and shaking hands, giving him a hug, asking him if he needs any bipolar medication, and then replacing him with placebo so Ryan keeps on doing what he's doing.
Get out the way and let the man cook.
This motherfucker is nuts.
Now he going for it.
He going for it.
Of course, bro, he saw a fucking humiliation ritual.
He saw a fucking Bohemian Grove.
Yeah.
Are you being nuts too if you saw kids get sacrificed?
That was the most arrogant part is you think you're famous enough for all that?
They're going to go do the humiliation ritual.
Come on.
Yeah, they tired.
You're not that big.
They went out to Victorville, California.
They scooped you up and they're like, this is the one.
Larry David Booth Appearance00:03:24
Yeah.
But no, he's fucking promoting this fight.
He's saying all that dumb shit.
And I think that he's smart enough to know.
I think he's an internet kid.
He grew up with it.
He understands it.
He understands the touch points.
And he's just, I'm going to let it rip.
That's me personally.
And good for him.
And I actually hope it's that because I don't want it to be out.
I think it's like Kanye off the bench.
Yeah, that sounds like a guy who's spiraling and it's probably some mental health stuff to him.
Yeah.
And listen, I just hope it's not that.
Yeah.
Well, Kanye also is a great promoter.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like two things can be true.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Yeah.
Ryan hasn't gone anti-Semitic yet, I don't think.
So that's how you know.
Yeah, once they go.
That's the next fight.
Yeah.
Once they go anti-Semitic, you're like, oh, yeah, it's real now.
It is real.
Yeah.
So yeah, USC 300 was fucking crazy.
It was wild.
Amazing card.
Just an amazing card.
Yeah, it was just, they did it.
They keep doing it every single time.
I'm curious about this Chandler McGregor fight.
Dude, the way he announced it, I saw the clip of Dana announcing it.
He like gets a piece of paper while he's doing a news conference.
He's like, wow, I've never had this happen before.
I don't know what this is.
And then he reads it and he goes, oh, all right.
I guess this is a good time to announce it or whatever.
And then he does the announcement, but just what did the audience do when he said that?
It was a press conference.
So there were some little murmurs, but it wasn't like an audience.
It was like the press conference.
And it was just to get a piece of paper and be like, oh, what is this?
I've never had this happen.
I'm sure he knew what was going to happen.
I'm sure it's his idea.
But to be like, oh, what's this interrupting my press conference?
Yeah, yeah.
Fantastic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's going to be crazy.
All right.
What else we got going on?
You, I need to see this head dinner next to Larry David.
Oh, yeah, Mark.
Next to Larry David.
Yeah, I need to know about this.
This is insane.
Mark, tell us.
So we're just sitting there.
This is the craziest thing.
So I walk into the restaurant and they were like, okay, where do you guys want to sit?
And I was like, they try to put us at a table, two chairs.
And I was like, is there any way we sit like a booth?
I like a booth.
You know what I mean?
It's a nice stretch.
Larry likes a booth?
I had no idea.
I didn't even think about him liking a booth when I made the decision.
I was just like, this is fine.
Can we move over here?
And they were like, that booth is taken, but the booth right next to that booth is wide open.
So I was like, all right, bet.
I'm sitting there, little corner booth, hanging out, having a great time, eating food.
Schultz comes, sits down next to me.
We're just chit-chatting.
And in the middle of him talking.
This is in LA?
Yeah.
In the middle of a sentence, he's just like, so anyway, yeah, I think one of the things that honestly, holy shit, that's Larry David.
But sometimes he does this, though, where we'll be hanging out, and he'll just be like, oh my God, is that Dana White?
And it'll just be a bald guy or something.
Like, he'll just be like, oh, that's, oh, Alex is here?
It's just a black guy.
Yeah.
You just know.
He'll just be like, oh, that's someone.
So I was like, oh, hilarious.
He's going to be an old guy over here.
So I look over and I was like, holy shit, that's Larry David.
And then the person brings him over, like the matrix, like walking him and just walking directly at our table, hits a right, and he's sitting as far away as me and Andrew right now.
Oh, fuck.
He's just at the, just sitting there with his daughter, just enjoying it.
You guys listening to me?
I wouldn't talk the whole dinner.
I would just listen to Larry David talk.
It was hard.
It felt like there was some personal stuff going on.
So I just kind of checked out.
I didn't even say hello or anything like that.
Because it felt like there was some personal stuff going on.
If it was just like a boring lunch date, I would have definitely on the way out be like, hey, man, thank you so much.
Love your work.
Yeah, he's with his daughter.
I wanted to cause a problem.
I wanted to be like, my food is cold.
Isn't that annoying?
Right?
Yeah, That's your moment to say really about it.
Like, oh, what should I do with my cold fish?
Should I send it back?
And if he's just like, no, just eat it, man.
Barbara Solves Abortion Debate00:01:09
That's fine.
And I'd be like, you fucking fraud.
What the hell?
This has all been an act?
But no, it was like so crazy.
I was so nervous.
And then your boy, Alex, he came down.
Yeah, yeah.
Alex comes by.
Barbara Alex.
Yeah, Barbara Alex comes by and he sits down and he's literally looking at Larry David the entire time.
And we keep looking at him being like, bro, isn't this crazy?
He's like, bro, it's wild, right?
He had no clue it was Larry David.
I was like, how crazy is that?
We're sitting next to Larry David.
And he goes, that was Larry David.
Where?
He's sitting in the seat that's directly across from him.
No clue.
We were asking, we're like, what did you think we were talking about when we were saying it's crazy?
He's like, just the food we thought.
I thought that was good.
Ooh, so good.
It was wild, dude.
I was like, oh my God.
Nosh, it was crazy.
Listen, guys, obviously, we solved abortion.
We solved everything.
But there's many more things to solve.
And we'll be doing them on Patreon.
Yeah.
And I got some OJ Heat, I got to tell y'all.
Oh, hell yeah.
Helen got the real conspiracy.
We figured out he's innocent and might be the greatest father of all time.
