Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh dissect Trump's Greenland proposal, debating modern imperialism alongside ICE controversies involving Hasidic communities and false arrest claims in Sweden. They analyze Indiana University's football resurgence under Chuck Martinetti via the transfer portal, contrast it with BYU's mission delays, and reflect on the Bills' heartbreaking loss to the Broncos.

Liberal Friends Gone 00:14:54
	My mom's complaining that she uh she lost all of her friends on Facebook because she's liberal because she's like a liberal now.
	Wait, what do you mean?
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
	This is huge.
	Can we start the episode?
	Yeah, because my mom's now lyd.
	Okay, she's horseshoe.
	Starts.
	She's like, she's like, all of my MAGA friends don't mess with me anymore because I'm lived out.
	And I'm like, why are you lived out?
	She's like, well, I just, you know, I'm like talking against like ICE and like foreign intervention, like foreign wars.
	And she's like, let's go.
	She's like, this is wrong.
	And all of her MAGA friends are disowning her.
	Wow.
	She's like, but the liberals don't like me either because I think that like Satan is in charge of the world.
	So she's just kind of stuck.
	When did she get anti-ICE?
	Because I assumed she would love them.
	No, she told me the other day, she was like, I would hide migrants in my house.
	Wow.
	Yo, wouldn't you?
	But she's always been on that way.
	Would it like you also, though?
	Oh, yeah.
	That's crazy.
	Puerto Rico is part of America.
	I don't know what to do for y'all.
	No, wouldn't you, like, if you knew them, like, if it's someone you know, someone you care about, somebody that you work with.
	100% the caveat, yeah.
	A stranger is a stranger.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But she means strangers.
	She means she would change.
	I think she does.
	I think she means strangers.
	Like, assuming, like, they're good.
	Like, they're not like she's like, she was seven kids.
	She was having fucking people.
	She doesn't even know in the house.
	But when it comes to an actual person that you care about.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	And like, you heard ice was coming and they were like, yo, I got to stay inside.
	You're going to whistle?
	No, you would fucking.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You're like, yo, Jill.
	If somebody was like, is anybody here?
	You say, no.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	And you ask for a discount on that landscape.
	You would lie.
	Probably.
	He missed his last line.
	What'd you say?
	Hold on.
	No, no, no.
	Okay.
	Don't worry about it.
	Rest for me.
	For the good people.
	For the good people, listen.
	Really make me replay the episode to find out.
	Yeah, you got to replay the episode to find out.
	I'll probably repeat it again later.
	Oh, no, Let me get that drink.
	No, you would lie.
	I don't know if Mark could lie.
	His conscience is too guilty.
	How would you get around the lie?
	You can omit.
	You can omit.
	What's the question?
	Are you hiding migrants in your house?
	No.
	No.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	They're not hiding.
	They're working.
	You're literally cleaning up.
	They've already migrated.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm hiding migrated.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You know what I mean?
	There's also migrants almost implies legal.
	These are illegal immigrants.
	Are you know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	Also, you don't know that they're illegal.
	I don't.
	I don't have a hotel.
	That's another thing.
	You all know that they're illegal.
	I don't know where they're born.
	I don't know what their deal is.
	Gay illegals.
	There's some people in my house.
	That's all you need to know.
	Nah, that's good.
	You got to hide.
	You got to hide them.
	Yeah.
	Is there anyone in your house besides you?
	Yes.
	Who are they?
	My wife.
	And no one else to my knowledge.
	You're a liar.
	That's a lie.
	Oh, also.
	I don't know where he's at.
	Honestly, I don't know.
	I don't know where that's a good ass point.
	I forgot.
	But then I'd be like, yeah, no, also my kid.
	And then I would just leave it at that.
	You got to do it, dude.
	Come on now.
	All human beings are worthy of human dignity.
	What I do with it.
	Yeah, he would.
	Would you hide some migrants?
	Yeah.
	And he would lie now.
	He would lie.
	The way he lied to get you out of Swiss jail or Swedish prison or whatever it was, he would lie like that.
	He would be the best liar.
	I didn't even lie.
	Wait.
	Well, I thought you said you lied for him.
	I said the black guy did it.
	That's why he was in jail in the first place.
	They came out trying to arrest me.
	I was like, nigga, there's that guy over there that's infiltrated your country.
	You know, you really were the first.
	Technically, he did lie because the guy was claiming that I hit him like 15 times.
	And he's like, he basically was like, look at him.
	He comes.
	I'll hit some of 50 stun.
	He's hitting him with 15 punches in like two seconds or some shit like that.
	And then it doesn't react.
	He counted it.
	Yeah, he reenacted.
	He was like, one.
	Suit is on the stand, by the way.
	I did swing, yeah, and I had my form good too.
	I was like, This is being recorded.
	I can't have this out here in the streets.
	Are you in a suit?
	Were you in a suit?
	Nah, I don't think I was in a suit.
	Couldn't even show up in a suit.
	Yeah, it's like where am I gonna buy a suit in Sweden?
	They wear suits.
	Yeah, I showed up with the wooden shoes.
	I had the country wrong.
	They're like, Sir, why are you wearing clogs to the corner?
	Isn't this professionalism?
	This is what you guys do.
	Yeah, did you bob and weave while you were in there?
	Yeah, you're like, bang, bang, slip, slip, bang, bang, bang.
	Racial epithet.
	He's a lover, bro.
	I know, I know.
	You gotta make them underestimate.
	Okay, you gotta make them underestimate.
	People are watching me.
	They're like, oh, he can't punch.
	And then they try to slide on me in the street.
	And then all of a sudden, you hit him with a colour.
	You've talked to him about Jesus.
	Oh, is that a jab or a hook?
	I'm glad you were there.
	Bang, bang.
	You gotta prepare for something that doesn't exist.
	Exactly.
	That's phenomenal.
	Exactly there, Mark.
	You never have to get ready if you're staying not ready.
	Exactly.
	That's smart, right?
	You would pack that thing, though.
	Oh, I hit him with the glide globo.
	You got a gla glib globo.
	What the?
	No, you got to hide some migrants, dude.
	You have to.
	Yeah.
	You got to.
	Now, if you don't know them, it's tricky.
	Right?
	Because they're going to make you convert to Islam.
	Exactly.
	That's a good point.
	That's a good point.
	They're going to radicalize you.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's what they got to worry about.
	Do you think they tried that with Aunt Frank at all?
	Didn't think at any point they were up there like, you know, you just want to be Christian.
	Here's a quick fix.
	If you just want to choose up, it's you probably will be good.
	But wait a minute, I don't know.
	Hitler wasn't religious at all.
	No.
	The Catholics were getting it.
	The Jews were getting it.
	Oh, Catholics are getting it?
	Yeah.
	Maximilian Colbe.
	I'm glad you asked.
	He's a Catholic priest.
	So it was in a concentration camp that gave up his spot for freedom in the place of someone that was sentenced to death.
	That's how annoying it is to be around that many people.
	Is that what you say?
	Max was like, I got it.
	I got it.
	Get me out of here.
	Oh, my God.
	It's too much backgammon.
	I forget exactly who it was, but they sent him free.
	And then they were like, but this kid is going to die or like a woman or something like that.
	And he was like, I'll take their place.
	And then he died in the place of Jesus.
	Do you believe that shit?
	I know.
	Did you believe that shit?
	Look it up.
	Look it up.
	I mean, they can make up any story.
	People can make up stories.
	This is interesting.
	Can we not talk about the whole who are you, Don Lemon over here?
	I don't want to disrespect the congregation, Al.
	Disrespecting the congregation.
	Nah, you can't talk about my gay brethren like that.
	So what?
	Bypassed the whole black thing, by the way.
	When you're talking about black guy, so what happened?
	They busted in this church because one of the pastors apparently has the same name as someone who is an ICE official.
	I don't even know.
	I don't even know if they've confirmed it's the same guy.
	So they were protesting, I guess, the church, but it wasn't even the pastor that was doing the service right there.
	So, yeah, what?
	Just imagine, dude, you're just trying to give a nice little church service, help some people, and then you're a fucking racist, and you're like, no, it's the other guy that's.
	But we, I don't even think they've confirmed that the other guy is an actual ICE official.
	Oh, but it is kind of funny that, like, the protesters are doing the same thing ICE is doing.
	That they're just busting into places.
	We want him.
	Get him out.
	Where is he?
	He looks like one of them.
	Yeah.
	He looks like a racist.
	Yeah.
	This is why all the ICE people need their names on their badges.
	Because now you're getting people mixed up in the crosshairs.
	Talk to me.
	Because if they're like, I don't know, apparently, like, they're not named.
	Like, apparently, they don't have like they got the shisties on.
	Exactly.
	It's insane.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	It is insane.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a tough look.
	I think that, like, because we don't see it in New York, like, we're somewhat detached from it.
	New Yorkers would not be going with this shit at all.
	That happening.
	Canal.
	And we weren't with that shit.
	And we were.
	No, Canal, it's fine, but they wouldn't be fine with the happening.
	It's like, canal, we got to clean some stuff up.
	That's how this shit works.
	New Yorker's not going to be okay with it.
	42nd Street, get the Pikachu's out of there.
	But no, do I mean? Pikachu, what about the kiddie pool full of fucking live fish?
	That's not, we just got to let that stand.
	That's on Mott.
	That's on Mott Street.
	Oh, that's not China Canal.
	It's called the lunch.
	Also, that.
	Yeah, what do you think you're eating down there?
	Yeah, yes.
	But just get it off the fucking street, man.
	Just put it inside.
	Yeah, it is a little peculiar to have the food out there.
	I kind of like it.
	New York really does have the best.
	You like ice?
	No, no, hold on.
	No, the migrants.
	New York migrants in particular.
	Yeah.
	We have the best everything.
	Selling bags, you know what I mean?
	Got the best everything.
	It's great.
	We got the best everything.
	But also, have you bought a bag from a Chinese lady that takes you down the alleyway?
	Have you ever done this?
	Are you buying bags?
	Yeah, I bought a hard six.
	Say you got a fucking hand job, bro.
	He's like, Wednesdays, oh, they really got a Michael Corsbag.
	Also, you could buy a real Michael Korsbag.
	I said, yo, hold on.
	It's like buying fake Ray-Bams.
	I swear to God, this is like maybe high school, maybe early college.
	I went and bought a fake Michael Korsbag.
	First, you got to lick your lips, bro, because you don't have the central powder all over your lips.
	Dude, my lips have been so dry in Salt Lake City.
	For real.
	I can't smile because they're going to crack.
	Oh, because he went snowboarding.
	Yeah, for real.
	Okay, go on.
	Go on.
	But how bad is it?
	Use your saliva, dude.
	No, no, no.
	I'm going to do this.
	What the fuck is happening?
	My lips.
	You're cracking.
	What the fuck?
	Have you bought chapsticks this whole time?
	Yeah.
	Oh, please.
	Yes.
	Oh, you're a leg.
	That's all ice.
	He's a bad ice.
	He's a bad black.
	He got vacillation on it.
	The mini one.
	The finger one.
	That's crazy.
	Miles having very black habits.
	He uses a washcloth.
	I know.
	He wants to know his enemy.
	Hold on.
	Finish your story.
	You're in Salt Lake, Oregon.
	Finish your story.
	I'll reward you.
	Finish your story.
	Damn.
	Damn.
	We know how you would have treated Aunt Frank, bro.
	Yeah.
	We know how you would have treated her.
	How?
	I don't know, something like that, probably with the rows.
	I'd hide a migrant.
	I'd hide a migrant.
	Yeah, who wouldn't?
	Yeah, but he tried to fucking because you can't.
	So how's my thought?
	Okay, I'm here.
	I'm like, yo, I got this gay hockey show.
	I'm here.
	Would you like to learn about hulkies?
	Because you can't hire somebody knowing they're illegal.
	Let them work for you.
	And then when ICE comes, act as if you weren't part of that whole transaction.
	Yeah, that's crazy.
	Right?
	Yeah, of course.
	You got to keep your hook up too.
	It's very important.
	You can't lose that.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Yeah.
	You got someone that does good work.
	You know what I mean?
	Knows the deal.
	But I was going on.
	Are we arresting criminals anymore?
	I think we got all of them.
	Did we get them all?
	It turns out there weren't that many.
	I mean, it was like week one.
	They had every criminal week one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And now it's just people working.
	All our guys at Home Depot.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think it's just meant to mess with states.
	They're just like, oh, I hate Tim Waltz.
	Let's go to Minneapolis.
	At what point do the migrants just start wearing blackface?
	How's that going to go?
	I think I know where he's going with this.
	Hear him out.
	Hear him out.
	I'm just saying.
	Hear him out.
	If I saw a dude in America wearing blackface, you wouldn't assume they're migrant.
	You would assume they're MAGA.
	Yeah.
	So Ice would probably be like, nah, he's cool.
	He's only one of us.
	Don't you think?
	But most of them are like Hispanic.
	Yeah, but I'm never covering that.
	I've never seen Hispanic and blackface.
	You're covering that.
	I might never.
	So he must not be Hispanic.
	How else can you tell?
	He must be white.
	How else can you tell that they're Hispanic if you cover it?
	Is there any other indicating markers as well?
	What's the indicating markers?
	I don't know.
	The hands, maybe.
	5'3, 240,000.
	Boxy Bill.
	You know how I knew I was fat in middle school besides the mirror?
	My principal always thought I was Mexican.
	Every time he saw me, he would say, Ola Amigo.
	And I was like, God damn, I'm short and fat.
	That's all they had down there.
	Yeah, white's a Mexican.
	That's anybody back then.
	But every time he saw me, hola amigo.
	Damn.
	Hatrio the Gordo ever.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I got hit with that by Mexicans.
	That's a term of the dear man, bro.
	Oh, bet.
	All right.
	They like it.
	They like my look.
	Tell me, chubby ass.
	That's a love.
	That's love right there.
	No, we got to shut down.
	We got to shut down, Ice.
	We got to focus it in like a more specific area.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What are you thinking?
	That town upstate in New York.
	I forgot the best.
	The name is hilarious.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's called Curious Joel.
	Curious Joel.
	Yeah.
	I don't know this story.
	Which is just a funny name for a town.
	Please try to find that.
	So this is the, what's the guy named Tyler Olivera?
	Yeah.
	That shit is hilarious, bro.
	So go.
	Well, basically, he goes to this town.
	This is an upstate, and it is like predominantly Hasidic Jewish, which is a specific subset of like Orthodox Judaism.
	And he's basically making the claim that they're all on welfare.
	Yeah.
	I don't want to misrepresent his video.
	I didn't see the whole thing, but these are the clips I saw on Twitter.
	And he's basically going around interviewing people being like, what do you do for work?
	Who are you?
	Like, how do you make your money?
	And yeah, the title, Inside the New York Town Invaded by Welfare Addicted Jews.
	Kind of a tough name.
	Welfare Addicted.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And we need him.
	Yeah, I didn't see the whole thing.
	So I don't want to speak out of term.
	But basically, the claim is like they're all just stealing from the government.
	They're all faking being on welfare to leech.
	And it seems like right now, people are not happy about it.
	Yeah.
	He didn't have to go all the way to upstate New York, though.
	Yeah, that's what I was on there.
	It's Williamsburg, right?
	Yeah, you could do it right there in Brooklyn.
	Yeah.
	If Tyler lives in New York City.
	Guys, very, very cool show.
	Part of the Netflix Comedy Fest.
	I know that they announced a million different shows.
	This is a pretty cool one.
	Jelly Roll and I are going to be doing the beautifully broken comedy night.
	Okay.
	Jelly's going to host it.
	I'm going to be doing a set.
	We got some special guests that we can't announce just yet.
	I think that you can maybe assume they're going to be special.
	May 8th, 2026, the Greek theater in LA.
	It's going to be a wild night.
	You know, I fucking love Jelly.
	He's the man and it's awesome that he wants to do, you know, host his comedy show.
	You know, Jelly's going to be doing music.
San Diego Zoo Night 00:15:02
	We're going to get all sorts of people out there.
	I mean, yeah, I don't know.
	I'm very excited for it.
	I want to do something a little different for the festival this year.
	So I'm stoked to be a part of it.
	And there's going to be some other cool people that are going to be a part of it, which we will not announce now for probably contractual reasons.
	Jelly's well connected.
	Hey, he knows a couple people, you know.
	So I think it's going to be a pretty special night.
	Anyway, I want to see you guys out there.
	The pre-sale is live now.
	You can go use the code Andrew.
	You can go get those tickets right now.

	Knocking out all of our dates now.
	First of all, the Wilbur, we sold out.
	Thank you so much.
	We got dates or tickets available for Foxwoods, January 24th.

	Saturday, January 24th.
	Oh, my God.
	Oh my God.
	Let's go.
	Yo, no, this Saturday.
	It's the best date night in all of New York City.
	So I'll see you guys there.
	Bang.
	They have great electronic stores.
	Shout out, BNH.
	Oh, yeah.
	We don't know what entertainment in New York City would be without you.
	Shout out, BNH.
	Goats.
	Doing a great job.
	Best store in the world.
	Best store.
	It is kind of hilarious to buy the most high-tech electronic equipment from a guy who looks like he's from the 1600s.
	Like, there's no, you're looking at him like there's no way you know how to use this.
	And they know it well.
	Everything.
	They know it.
	That's crazy.
	Everybody there got to have a college education like in the thing that they're talking about.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Some weird.
	Yeah.
	And like they sneak like black Hasidic Jews in there too.
	Yeah.
	Oh, wow.
	It's a really fun adventure walking around the street.
	No, they got to expand.
	That would be great for Jewish PR.
	You just put a BNH in every major city in the South in particular and watch the views on Jews start to change.
	Yeah.
	Suddenly we're a little more pro-Semite.
	You could make an argument that they're responsible for all the negative views on Jews from selling the equipment.
	This guy filmed this documentary.
	Shut down the stores.
	There would be no YouTube videos made about them.
	They don't control immediately.
	They do control the cameras.
	They control a lot of the cameras.
	They do.
	They do.
	But yeah, dude, you'll talk to a guy in full 1800s Polish gear, ask him about like camera settings.
	He's like, oh, yeah, no, you need to be on this frame, right?
	This is, yeah, and then he just gets a flip phone call.
	Dude, they got the flip phone calls.
	I told you.
	No drug dealers.
	The bad part is that they celebrate the Sabbath or whatever.
	Oh, no.
	The bad part is they celebrate every fucking holiday.
	So you'll go there on a random Wednesday and it's shut down.
	Like, dude.
	It's like a Saturday.
	How are you close on a Saturday?
	This is when everybody shots.
	Remember, nobody beats the Wiz?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They did.
	They're open like three days a week and they still beat every other electronic store.
	Dude, did I tell you?
	Because my wife works within the Hasidic community.
	And so she was in the apartment one day with all these Hasidic women.
	And one of them gets a phone call.
	Does she get paid an EBT?
	Isn't it fun to make love for a jokes?
	No, I know, finally, you're on this side of the ledger.
	I'm okay.
	We did it, baby.
	That was his dream.
	Yeah, why's the handling?
	Dude, she's sitting in the apartment, and the girl gets a phone call on her phone, and it literally goes, That's kind of funny.
	And she goes, Why?
	And she's like, Well, it's jingle bells.
	Yeah.
	She's like, What's that?
	I swear to the sham, bro.
	She's like, She's like, That's a Christmas song.
	She's like, Really?
	I just thought it sounded nice.
	And she's like, Yeah, it's like Christmas song.
	She goes, Oh, okay, cool.
	I had no idea.
	I'd never heard of jingle bells in her life.
	Open the window, drop the phone out of it.
	They had no idea.
	So they do live in like a very insulated bubble.
	Yeah, it is fascinating.
	We used to like drive through it as a kid.
	My dad would like take us through it and be like you got to check this out.
	He's like, They're living like it's the 1700s still.
	Yeah.
	And it was cool to see.
	I don't know why he would do it.
	Yeah.
	It was like the zoo or something.
	It was like a slooze.
	It was like a human zoo.
	No, it was like, this is a throwback.
	Don't roll down the window.
	Like, it is crazy.
	I run through that neighborhood when I'm.
	I live right on the edge of it.
	You owe me hunting.
	You don't run.
	Who's getting circumcised?
	I want to see.
	But it's a fun neighborhood to run through because you're the only one.
	Everyone else is like speedwalking and like doing, it's just such a fun neighborhood to go through.
	I really enjoy it.
	That's how you got to feel fast.
	Truly.
	No.
	Shout out them, no.
	Shout out them.
	I got a fake vaccine from y'all that didn't work, but shout out to y'all, man.
	I got a fake.
	Was it the vaccine or the booster?
	I forgot what I got, but I went out to Williamsburg and I got that shit.
	It was the booster because you got the actual vaccine.
	I got the vaccine.
	Yeah, sucker.
	I know.
	Yeah.
	You really, you really went the whole time without getting it?
	Wow.
	I don't know if that stuff were allowed.
	Oh, yeah.
	The Hasidic Frogger for the marathon.
	Yes.
	Every year, they do the New York City Marathon.
	Cuts right through their neighborhood.
	You know what they call their neighborhood?
	The silent mile because no one cheers.
	Oh, that's no one down there cheering.
	It's all just neighborhood.
	Oh, that's hilarious.
	Gotta lock in.
	Punitive.
	Yeah, dude.
	Yeah.
	That is so funny.
	I love them.
	I love New York.
	New York is the best.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Like, part of me is just like.
	It's literally 17 degrees outside right now.
	So we're about to go to New York Level.
	Shut that shit down.
	Shut up, man.
	Come on.
	Because I felt myself buying in.
	And then I was like, what am I fucking talking about?
	17 degrees?
	This is so cold, though.
	Why are we here?
	Thank you.
	What are we doing?
	Thank you.
	What are we talking about?
	What an invalid question I'm bringing up.
	What an asshole I am.
	I'm not indulging.
	Okay.
	Where should we be?
	Where should we be?
	Southern California.
	San Diego, greatest city in America.
	You love San Diego.
	It's perfect.
	It's paradise.
	Why is it perfect?
	Why is it paradise?
	It's a very small Punjabi community.
	No, I'm kidding.
	It's the best weather on earth.
	People are friendly.
	The traffic isn't bad.
	So all the things that you like about LA are there, but none of the things you hate.
	There's no Hollywood phonies.
	Food is pretty good.
	Not great.
	Pretty good, especially for Cali.
	It's just, what's wrong with living there?
	It's great.
	Strong military presence.
	Strong military.
	That is, dude, a liberal state with a Republican city or vice versa.
	That's the best way to do it.
	That's the way to do it.
	You need a liberal fucking Austin in Texas, conservative state, or a Republican San Diego in a liberal state.
	Yin and yang.
	They balance each other because they don't get too far.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, New York, New York is a socialist.
	We are social.
	We look at a communist that I pretend isn't a communist because I like brown people.
	You know what I mean?
	We'll take it.
	We'll take it.
	Zoe's not a communist.
	I know.
	I love him.
	It's all love.
	But he changed the Williamsburg Bridge.
	You saw this?
	He did.
	He stopped that little dip.
	He blew this shit up.
	His first act as mayor was to get rid of the little jump.
	Would you get a little air off of what coming into?
	And have you ridden on it since?
	Yeah, and it's super linked.
	Andrew.
	That's my big issue.
	I thought he was going to build a ramp.
	I thought that was his plan.
	Yeah.
	That'd be fire.
	But now he's not going to lie.
	They could have done a better job.
	It doesn't look great.
	Yeah.
	If you're going to make this the big first thing, like, do it nice.
	It is.
	Apparently, he did it off of comments.
	Someone commented, like, yo, if you become mayor, will you fix the bridge?
	And he was like, it'll be the first thing I do.
	Oh, that's fire.
	That's great social work.
	I'm promising smart, dude.
	You know what I mean?
	The guy that is mega for Zoron was a guy who was like, yeah, I called Zoron when he was my elected official and he got shit done for me immediately.
	I was like, oh, that's cool.
	He's a very close ear on the ground kind of guy.
	That's cool.
	Also, I don't know.
	Did you see Ricky Veleza's post?
	He was like, Ever since Zoron got elected, Nick's have been two and eight.
	It's bad.
	It's bad.
	So I don't know how he's going to fix that.
	It's very bad.
	And I haven't come up with the joke yet connecting the two, but I thought by the second time I said it was bad, I would have one.
	And when I got to the third, I was like, I don't think it's coming.
	You saw the pain.
	I just felt the pain.
	Yeah, I know it's bad because my group chat was going crazy last time.
	Y'all lost to the Mavericks by 20 or some shit.
	Yeah, Damaris hit me up.
	He's like, I don't know how he did this.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Without Anthony Davis, it's just really embarrassing.
	Yeah, something's up.
	Something's up.
	Are you watching games, Al?
	No, you know, I'm a fake New Yorker.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Let me fake Nick fans.
	RSR.
	I know, yeah, that was crazy.
	Crazy.
	It's crazy.
	Well, honest for you.
	You made me feel uncomfortable.
	You made me feel uncomfortable.
	Aka fucking got you.
	I loves Cali.
	At loves Cali.
	Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
	Where's Weezy's house?
	Shouts to Weezy, by the way.
	Weezy just bought a new house.
	So shout out to you, Weezy.
	Is it in LA?
	Yeah.
	That's the address.
	No, no, you don't have to get the area.
	I just didn't know what city it was in.
	I didn't know.
	Wow.
	Good for her.
	Yeah.
	Have you gone over there?
	Not yet.
	She hasn't invited you over?
	No, is there trouble in the gay podcasting that way?
	What happened?
	They're going to do demolition, all that type of stuff.
	Oh, she's going to do complete renovation inside.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's money.
	When you buy a house and you're like, this house ain't nice enough, that shit is money.
	I'm going to tear down the house and build another house where I bought the house.
	Yeah.
	That shit is money.
	She's doing good.
	God bless, dude.
	I love that.
	She's doing good.
	She's doing good.
	Also, counterpoint to your San Diego thing: Salt Lake City.
	Oh, you were there this weekend.
	I love it, dude.
	Yeah, tell me what.
	I can't say it's the best city in New York to go to a place colder than New York.
	But you can use the cold.
	You can't say Salt Lake is the best city because it is.
	This is actually a good point.
	It is racist to say it's the best city.
	I know why, because it's only Samoans.
	It just is very, very white.
	A lot of salt.
	If you're like, dude, it's the greatest city ever.
	It's like, well, why is it the best?
	And you're like, well, it's quiet or whatever.
	You got to kind of like kind of back out of it.
	But it is one of the best.
	I love Salt Lake City with all my heart.
	Truly the best.
	You just love the Mormons.
	I love them.
	We call them LDS, technically, but I do love them.
	Oh, it is the whitest city I perform in.
	And I love Wise Guys Comic Club.
	They're the best.
	The fans show up, but I'm always like, I can count the minorities on one hand, which for my show is very, I mean, for any of our shows, rare, but for me in particular, it was like two Indians that didn't know what they were getting into.
	Amazing, right?
	Yeah.
	It's just perfect because you get to utilize the whole thing the whole time.
	You're working at a little bit too much, bro.
	That's why you gotta be like, it's good.
	It's good.
	But like, it's cold, but you get to use the cold.
	And it's hot, but you get to use the hot.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, you get to go ski and you get to snowboard and snowmobile and put your kid on a sled, send him on a tube.
	New York is cold for no reason.
	And hot for no reason.
	Like, New York, well, what I would say about New York is it works without the temperature.
	Like, the temperature doesn't matter.
	Like, you're doing whatever you do.
	You can go do it.
	Like, you're going to Mass Square Garden.
	You're going to summer.
	You're going to fall.
	It doesn't matter.
	But Salt Lake is all about the weather.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Entirely.
	Yeah.
	And like the culture that the LDS kind of built, like there's like alcohol.
	What are the things to do outside of nature?
	My only argument would be, what, you're going to go to Swig and drink like Coca-Cola with sugar in it?
	Dude, these more.
	Have you guys watched the real lives of Mormon wives?
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	It's all time.
	Great show.
	That's the ones they're all fucking each other, right?
	Yeah, that was part of it.
	Let me tell you something.
	It is, thank God they don't drink alcohol.
	What they're willing to share on caffeine is unprecedented.
	Yo, these girls, this girl's talking about cutting off her beef curtains.
	She's like, yeah, my pussy just started getting hangy.
	She takes a slurp of a 44-ounce of Coca-Cola with like some like red sugar dye in it.
	She's like, yeah, so I had to chop them off.
	She shows all the girls her new vagina, shows the cameramen, everything.
	They have to blur it out because she's showing it.
	And what's really interesting about them is sounds amazing.
	No, no, But what's incredible about it is that like they are so open with their sexual shit, but they're married.
	And they don't shame sex within the marriage.
	It's really interesting.
	Like they would shame sexual behavior outside of it.
	Like if you're just like a whore in the community, that would be bad.
	But once you're with your husband, he was clapping my cheek and you can just say it.
	And they don't care.
	They'd share the stories with each other.
	Also, worth noting, they're attractive.
	At least the one in the front seems hot.
	Everyone in Salt Lake is attractive.
	It's like our Scandinavia.
	Yeah.
	R Norway, our Sweden is Salt Lake.
	Few reasons I was telling, please.
	No alcohol.
	Yep.
	Like, that helps.
	No drugs.
	No drugs.
	Being outdoors a lot.
	Yeah.
	And then on top of that, they don't cut the processed food, right?
	Don't they?
	Like, try to get them.
	They're healthy and like crunchy.
	But like on top of that, you also, because of the LDS mission, Mormons going around like converting people.
	Yeah.
	It is actually pretty diverse.
	And you get like weird mixes.
	What would be like a Filipino Pakistani LDS Mormon?
	You know what I mean?
	Wow.
	And then you had like half Japanese Mormon.
	Yeah.
	Samoan, like Guatemalan.
	How did the Samoans end up embracing mentateo?
	I like that he said the only reason why they're attractive is because they mix with other stuff that's non-white.
	No, the whites are fucking good looking out there.
	They're all everyone's just good looking.
	But then you get mixing.
	You get nice and noise.
	No, no, that's valid, though, because it's not just hot white girls, which you would think.
	It's mixed hot girls.
	Just said it's all white people.
	I'll be honest with you.
	I haven't seen a, I've seen non-white men.
	I don't think they, I don't, I think they kick out to non-white women or something.
	I haven't seen a non-white woman.
	I see a lot of like male Samoans.
	You see male other things you mentioned.
	But it's females.
	It's just white women.
	And like skinny, in shape, blonde hair, blue eyes.
	That's a stereotype.
	Yeah.
	Stereotype.
	Yes.
	I mean, there's a few brunettes, but it's like, there's one mixed girl on the show, and she happened to have like a kid out of Wedlock.
	It's kind of fucked up.
	Because she had a kid from a previous marriage or something.
	That happens.
	I thought you're not allowed to get divorced.
	I don't know if they're going to be aware of it.
	You can't technically frown that.
	That they like kick you out the community.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	I mean, they're getting a little loosey-goosey now.
	Women get their shoulders.
	Money.
	That's what happens.
	They like change the dress.
	They change the dress code.
	I don't think they were on caffeine before.
	I think that's new.
	Yeah.
	Well, apparently, caffeine thing was never doctrinal.
	It was always like interpersonal.
	Whereas like, I don't think it wasn't in the Brigham Young was never like, oh, you can't drink caffeine.
	It was like... Coffee that don't drink.
	But now, but they do a little.
	Ketamine?
	They love ketamine.
	Yeah.
	But like on the show, they do.
	But that's not doctrinal to use yourself.
	Yeah, because they didn't know about the pharmaceuticals back in the day.
	But it's prescribed.
	Yeah.
	And then they do like ketamine treatments.
	No, that sounds awesome, to be honest.
Bidet Body Reset 00:12:57
	That you're really making a good case here.
	Oh, it's just awesome.
	And then in the summertime, you go mountain biking, hiking.
	The weather's beautiful.
	I love all of it.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	You're getting a little K-hold.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Shout out, Salt Lake.
	Yeah.
	Oh, it's just the best.
	Speaking of television, I'm on a flight to Arizona, five-hour flight.
	Guy next to me, locked into his laptop, ignoring the TV on the screen, all the movies that are there.
	I'm like, what the fuck is this guy watching?
	He's so locked in.
	And then I see this really hot girl, and I'm like, what show is this?
	And then I see Allie Larder and I, or whatever the name is, and I put together, oh, this is Landman.
	And my man was locked in.
	How old is 17, really?
	Yo.
	How old is she?
	I saw that, bro.
	How old?
	How old?
	I glanced, and I was like, who the fuck is that?
	She's 28.
	She's 28 in real life.
	The character is 17.
	She's 28 in real life.
	Great.
	I think the real years matter.
	And I think I might owe you an apology.
	Yo, man.
	I accept it.
	I accept it.
	Never needed one, but I accept it.
	Yo, because I was shitting on him for liking Landman.
	And then when I saw the girl, I was like, maybe I need to share your buds with her.
	That's what every girl in Salt Lake looks like.
	She's like the quintessential Salt Lake Mormon girl.
	You can't keep a society that is this like kind of like removed from normalcy together without beautiful women.
	If the girls were dogs, people would convert to like regular Christianity.
	But the girls are so hot, they're like, yeah, the tablets were buried in upstate New York and the fucking Jews made it to the show or something like that.
	The Native Americans were really out there.
	Like all that makes sense when every girl's a dime.
	And that's the reason in Islam they got to cover the girls up, man.
	Yeah.
	It was growing too fast.
	The religion was growing too fast from all the beautiful women.
	And they're like, we need to slow this thing down.
	We got to slow it down.
	They covered them up.
	They consolidated it.
	They had it in one region.
	And then that was it.
	But Al and I could still tell.
	We cracked the code and we were there.
	Yeah.
	But can you?
	Yeah, dude.
	We were telling you when you're there long enough, you know how when you're in college and you start thinking like sixes or tens?
	We saw through this.
	So, hold on.
	That was a bad example.
	Yeah, that was a good idea.
	I know what I said.
	I know what I said.
	And I'm still standing on the top.
	Let's go.
	How do you feel about that?
	How do you feel?
	I'm standing on it.
	You know how when you're in a new country, they're speaking a foreign language.
	Over time, you still start to understand without realizing it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's what happened with Saudi.
	We can still understand what's underneath the niqab without this.
	Without realizing exactly that.
	That ain't hitting me like that.
	When I was out there, it didn't hit me like that.
	Maybe I'm just more fake.
	No, I think it's more than me.
	I'm just not looking for pussy on the road.
	It's jarring when you land at the airport because you're not used to it yet.
	You just see, whoa, what's going on?
	It was jarring.
	Yeah, ninjas everywhere.
	Yeah.
	Fucking jarring me up.
	Yeah.
	I got so jarred up, man.
	Yeah, hijabi women are pretty because they just focus on this.
	It's fake.
	Hijabi women are beautiful.
	They limit the amount.
	Oh, hijab is different than niqab.
	Yeah.
	Hijab is just this.
	Niqab is.
	Well, we were starting to get able to tell just from that.
	Yeah, eyebrow work.
	See, where I would give pushback is: remember during COVID when everybody wore the mask and everybody was good-looking?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Remember how much better-looking people were on the streets when the mask was on?
	Do you remember that a little bit?
	I think that's what happens out there as well.
	And what I would say is, you treat good-looking people better.
	So maybe we are nicer to women in that part of the world when we can't see what their full heads are.
	Do you think that's possible?
	That's that, and we shouldn't be.
	We should be nice to everybody.
	No matter what.
	No matter what they look like.
	I'm going to start watching Landman, and it's for only one reason.
	So that's 16-year-old in the show.
	Alex, she's 17 in the show.
	She's not.
	I don't make it better.
	He couldn't even, you know, he started playing with his pants insane.
	This is a crazy.
	Why is that shit bunched up so much?
	You know who's with her?
	I think it's the Top Gun guy who's also no, Handsome son of a bitch.
	What's his name?
	Glenn Powell.
	I think.
	Is it Glenn Powell that's with her?
	Is that the girl that Miles went on a date with?
	No.
	Oh, no.
	Why'd you say it like that?
	That's not.
	Miles be putting in work.
	No, I know he puts in work.
	It's not.
	But that's not, you know, that's not it.
	That's not it.
	I mean, maybe it is it, Miles.
	Michelle Randolph is.
	Yeah, Miles' not really feeling it today, right?
	He's a little salty or something.
	What happened?
	You have money on the game?
	No, no, no.
	Everything's good.
	But apparently, Michelle Randolph is dating Glenn Powell.
	So you are correct.
	Yeah, I know.
	I'm correct.
	Who was the guy you went on the date?
	Same with him today, hello?
	Why is Miles sad?
	No, he just gave some sash.
	Yeah, he did.
	He just talked right through me.
	Yo.
	I got nothing wrong.
	No, something happened.
	It does seem like something's bothering me.
	Nothing is bothering me.
	And if you say nothing's bothering you, then it's more bothering me.
	You can just share with us.
	It's just the guys.
	Just the guys.
	Yeah, just tell us.
	What's going on?
	I have no one else listening.
	I have nothing bothering me.
	I think there might be something bothering you.
	And if there is something bothering you, I think that this is a safe place to share it.
	Yesterday was Blue Monday.
	I would like to say that sort of, I think, affected me.
	Hold on.
	Is that what you said?
	It's just the way he steps into it is so magical.
	Yes, there was also Martin Luther King during the day.
	But to him, he's like, it's Blue Monday.
	It's the saddest day of the year.
	Nothing makes me sad.
	I would like to bring up the fact that I had to work on Martin Luther King.
	I have a dream too.
	We can get rid of this fucking holiday.
	I would like to say I worked on Martin Luther King Day and I didn't want to because it felt racist.
	Damn.
	You couldn't even honor the holiday.
	I could fucking fix all the whites in here.
	You were working.
	You didn't have to.
	You were seeing white spirituals?
	No.
	What is a white spiritual?
	Are you?
	Miles, what's up?
	I feel like you're just a little sad today or something.
	What's up?
	Just be vulnerable and share with them.
	It's so good.
	Can you be vulnerable?
	I'm so good.
	How much are you weighing in?
	How much am I weighing?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I weighed myself today and it was bad.
	Okay, that's probably it.
	It was a bad number.
	You said I weighed 290 recently, also.
	You need to bring that up.
	You're going to weigh 290?
	No, you said that, motherfucker.
	I just repeated what you said right now.
	You said it at dinner.
	You guessed all of our weights, and mine was 290.
	Mark said that.
	I don't think you're even at two.
	I think you're 187.
	You're so kind.
	201 this morning, everybody.
	201.
	Nice.
	Oh, that's yeah, that's a rough day.
	No, no.
	Yeah, that's a rough day.
	You don't feel good about it.
	No, That's a rough day.
	That's going to affect your mood a little.
	Stop.
	That's not going to feel like that.
	I get what he means.
	That's a psychological barrier.
	It's like if it came in at 199, you're like, I can fix this.
	201 is like.
	Fuck.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Fuck.
	Do you feel?
	All right, can I ask you this as an honest question?
	At 201, when you feel hungry, is there part of you telling your body like there's no way?
	No.
	I'm full of food.
	I'm full of it.
	Like, there's reserves here somewhere.
	I have no calorie restrictions in my life.
	I have no fear of calories.
	That's such a funny problem.
	Shift, you don't like it.
	Shifty, you okay over there, Shift?
	Shift, we're just trying to get to the bottom of Miles' stress eating.
	What could possibly be stressing you out recently that's making you eat like this much?
	Nothing.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	But yeah, 201 this morning sort of rough.
	You're on a bulk.
	You're on bulk.
	Yeah.
	That's what I tell myself.
	Yeah, it's fine.
	You bulk, you get to like 205, 290, and you come down.
	You're shredded.
	I tried telling myself that for a few years, but no muscle came in.
	So I just, I've just been in there, bro.
	It's under 22.
	It is under 221.
	Okay, okay.
	It's underneath, dude.
	Yes, dude.
	I just can't believe that Mark dipped his lips in pop rocks before the process.
	Give me the chip.
	You said you would reward it, bro.
	I can't believe it.
	We talked for a living.
	Bro, I'm telling you, it's dry during that solo.
	No, I believe you.
	It's so dry.
	I think your hands are so white that you cross from mind to bias.
	Dude, this is a great bit of Vaseline.
	This is.
	Oh, what?
	What's going on?
	So, yeah, where do you guys stand?
	Where do you guys stand with sharing the lipstick?
	If it's finger, I don't care.
	I don't do it.
	You want this one?
	So you won't do it.
	No, this bird.
	This is a nice little vest.
	I like this the same shape.
	So you won't share a chapstick that's a lipstick?
	I don't like it.
	With whom?
	Would you share it with me?
	Never.
	Fuck out of here.
	No.
	All right.
	All right.
	Hold on.
	You're the last person in office, I would say.
	Okay, wait, why is that?
	You know, the immediate nature reaction from all of you.
	I don't know where you're going to put it.
	You're like, dude, my ass is chatting today.
	No, wait, why me?
	Why not me?
	Come on.
	What is dirty about my life?
	Are you one of the dirtier human beings?
	Yeah.
	Like, you'll take a shit, not wash your hands, and then dap us up immediately.
	You guys notice that?
	You can tell when I don't wipe my hands or wash my hands after dinner.
	It's completely dry.
	So your finger pierced through the paper somehow.
	Yeah.
	Dude, don't you guys hate when that happens every single time?
	It doesn't happen anyway.
	Doesn't it happen to you guys every single time when you go single ply by accident on purpose?
	Like, aren't you like, oh, I forgot to fold it.
	Oh, no.
	How am I going to get this thing out of there?
	The only way's through.
	Yeah, that only happens to you.
	Do you guys find it satisfying to scratch like a little deep in the hole when you're getting a good scratch?
	No, I love when someone else does it.
	Bro, just get a bidet, dude.
	I save it for the bidet.
	I was digging in my ass today while on the deadlift.
	I was with my trainer.
	Shout out, Mike.
	And I was doing, I stopped the lift and I dug in my ass, right?
	And I looked at him and he's just looking at me like he has no clue what he like, he's giving me the look like, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see him do that in front of everybody at the gym.
	And I was like, yeah, man, sorry, I just had to dig in my ass.
	And he goes, he goes, yeah, I get it.
	All right, give me 10.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah, why was it so issued?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Is it white?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, we're going to get you a bidet.
	Don't you worry.
	We're going to get some bidet.
	All right, guys, let's take a break for a second.
	You see the lights.
	You already know what time it is.
	Blue Chew back out here with a banger of a product.

	We already know Blue Chew delivering the best dick you've ever really bestowed on anyone in your entire life if we're going to be factual about it.
	We already know that that is happening.
	Why they decide to up the ante?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	They didn't need to, but they decided to.
	Blue Chew Gold.
	Okay.
	I could give you all like the facts and they go, it's got the apromorphine and the oxytocin and all this.
	You're up in 15 minutes.
	You're up in 15 minutes.

	Okay.
	Yes, it's got the other stuff for the arousal.
	You're up in 15 minutes.
	15 minutes.
	That's the only amount that you need to stall is 15 minutes.
	Okay.
	You are ready to go.
	She's like, oh, I'm ready to go.
	15 minutes.
	You go down for five minutes.
	You know, you could talk about Mormon wives for five minutes.
	The last five minutes, you could do some dry humping and then you're ready to go.
	Yes.
	My point is, it's 15 minutes.

	And for the flagrant folks out there, the asshole army, you get 20% off with the code flagrant at row nutrition.com.
	Now, let's be honest, okay?
	We drink, we travel, we eat like trash sometimes with stress.
	And then we act surprised when we wake up feeling foggy, run down, or just off.
	Well, here's what's actually happening.
	All that stuff builds up.
	Your body doesn't magically reset overnight.
	It relies on glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, which is basically your liver's cleanup crew to grab all these toxins and metabolic junk and get it out of your system.
	The problem, modern life drains your glutathione fast, and most glutathione supplements don't do anything because they don't absorb.
	Rose liposomal glutathione actually works.
	Okay.
	It uses liposomal delivery system, clinically proven to increase absorption and you feel the difference.
	This isn't some wellness influencer nonsense.
	It's damage control.

	Your liver.
	Well, thank you.
	Now let's get back to the show.
	Oh, yeah, Sheltie watched his first college football game yesterday.
	Yeah, it's almost my first.
	No, I did watch the, I did watch it.
	Yeah, what'd you think?
	I mean, it was, I had to miss the very end, which sucked, but it was a fucking amazing game.
	And by then, it was pretty much wrapped up.
	It was just like.
	But now it was close up to the end.
	Yeah, they had one final drive.
	Yeah.
	And Indiana is, it's the, maybe the greatest story I've ever seen in sports.
	Yeah, can you break, you were breaking this down yesterday.
	Can you explain why Indiana just became a college football powerhouse?
	So yeah, I'm not a massive college football fan.
	I'm a casual.
	I'll watch on Sports Center and then toward the end of the year, I get interested.
	Indiana has never been good in my 41 years on earth.
	Are actually the literal losingest team in Division I football history.
	Wow.
	More losses than anyone in Division IA or whatever it is.
	And then all of a sudden, last year they were good.
	They hired this new coach, and we all kind of thought it was fluky.
	They lost in the playoff.
	And then this year they go undefeated and they're one of the greatest teams of all time.
	And it is based on this coach, this one guy, Chuck Signetti is his name.
	He came from a school, James Madison University.
	He went one there kind of out of nowhere.
	And then he brought a lot of those players over.
	And his method is really interesting because college football, my entire life, has been run by these like blue blood programs, the SEC schools like Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, TUT, LSU, whatever.
	And they have all the big boosters and all the big money.
	And all the fertile grounds of football players are in Texas and Florida and California or whatever.
	So they just throw money around and nobody can compete.
	And it's been the same good teams my entire life.
	What this guy does is he's like, okay, I can't get some 18-year-old five-star recruit high schooler who's one of the best high school kids in the nation.
	So I will exploit what's called the transfer portal.
	So these are older kids who might not be able to play at some of these other schools who are less highly recruited out of high school, but they're grown men.
	They're 22, 23, 24 years old.
	He brings them over.
	And a lot of people are saying that's unfair, but somebody brought up a good counterpoint, which was if all that matters is age, BYU, to bring up the Mormons again, why wouldn't they be the best school every single year?
	Because they go away before they go to school for a couple of years.
	They go do mission trips for two, three years.
	That's like a thing you do as a Mormon.
	So it's not just the age.
	He also has a very interesting practice philosophy.
	They don't do grueling practices that last hours and hours.
	We're going to practice.
	We're going to practice correctly.
	And then we're going to get the fuck out.
	Everything is done very efficiently.
	I like that.
	He's also a hard ass in that he won't ever really show emotion or happiness.
	Like they had a bye week.
	All the best team, the four best teams in college had a week off.
	And then they got to advance straight to the second college football playoff game.
	Three teams lost.
	One team won.
	And it was Indiana.
	And he was like, I told my team on no uncertain terms that we were not going to have a letdown.
	He basically just fucking reamed him and was like, we're not doing that.
	They decimate Alabama, who's one of the greatest college football programs ever.
	Then the next round they play, Oregon beat the shit out of them.
	Their quarterback, sweetest kid on earth, Latino kid, two Latino parents.
	Mom has MS. This guy literally is the perfect human being.
	He is, in the first two playoff games, had more touchdowns than incompletions.
	Wow.
	He had like eight touchdowns total and like five incompletions.
	That's crazy.
	Unfucking.
	That's the Mendoza kid.
	That's that kid Mendoza.
	And Miles said this.
	I didn't even know.
	Whenever they show the parents are always sitting down and celebrating, the dad doesn't stand up because his wife has MS and she can't stand up.
	So he only celebrates with her sitting down.
	It's like the sweetest fucking story.
	This kid won the Heisman.
	He's going to be the number one pick.
	And he's just like Catholic.
	Catholic.
	It's an interesting point, just to add.
	I just can't believe you don't call ice on him.
	Like, if it's a championship game, if everything is on the line, that's true.
	And we're just arresting American citizens anyway.
	That's true.
	Why aren't you going after the quarterback from the opposing team?
	That's true.
	That is good strategy.
	I mean, if you're a Miami fan, you probably can't call ice.
	You probably compromised.
	He was about to be part of American history.
	Okay, fair enough.
	They're coming home.
	But dude, the last touchdown he scored was like, I think they were up.
	This is also fire.
	They were up 17 to 14, Indiana was.
	And they had the ball at like the 10-yard line.
	It's fourth and five.
	They could kick a field goal and goal up 20 to 14.
	But if Miami scores a touchdown, now they're losing.
	So the head coach says, fuck it.
	Let's go for it.
	This guy who's the Heisman Trophy winner, who's going to be the number one pick in his last game, just throws his body over the goal line to score a touchdown, gets fucking hit from in front and behind.
	And he just goes, my teammates fast forward.
	Watch this.
	So he also, he's already got the first down.
	But look at this.
	Oh, he could run, too.
	He's not even a good runner, but he just won the game.
	And he goes, look at this.
	He's fucking celebrating.
	Oh, I thought she was damned.
	He's dying.
	Son, she can't stand.
	He has MS. So you're not totally wrong, dude.
	I know, but when they cut to it, she was.
	Wow.
	My bad.
	That's really my bad.
	You know, there's a moment during the game where they cut to Abella Danger in the stands.
	She's a porn star.
	You know who she is.
	You know, Abella Danger.
	No.
	You don't got a lot of people.
	You probably recognize her face.
	Probably recognize the diet.
	A lot of you guys.
	He doesn't know the irony.
	You guys want to know the names of these.
	She's a big University of Miami fan.
	I think she's furthering her education.
	Okay.
	That's one way of describing it, but she's very concerned about her.
	My purpose is losing.
	You don't know what she does for a living.
	She might have retired, she might have retired al.
	Oh, if she retired, you know, do we see more pictures?
	Yes.
	It's kind of cute.
	Anyway, point is they cut to her and like you could tell someone in the booth, like some young kid was like tapping the director because they cut away very fast.
	Like usually they'll milk a beautiful girl in the crowd for a little bit.
	That cutaway was instantaneous.
	There was an old director who wasn't up to date with the young porn stars, locked in, and he was like, oh, we got a beauty that's going through it right now.
	She's a Miami fan.
	And there was somebody tapping his knee like, you're going to hear about this one.
	You're going to hear.
	There she is.
	I mean, I don't think I've ever seen her work.
	Yeah.
	I don't even know how that's like physically possible, the position she's in right there.
	I mean, I mean, but with all due respect to like, but that's, can you go back to that one?
	Because that would be, with all due respect, as you say, that would be the position to eat it, right?
	This is very comfortable.
	Yeah.
	Would that be?
	I mean, comfortable.
	Yeah.
	You don't have to like that.
	No hesitation.
	Yeah, no hesitation.
	I'm hungry.
	I'm gaining weight for a reason.
	I'm a hungry boy.
	You could have a walking desk and make that work.
	That's fire.
	But I think like what?
	You never got one of those?
	Like the trees?
Greenland Sushi Taste 00:09:52
	That's fire.
	Holy standing.
	But if you're going to be putting women on from Miami, there's a decent chance one of them has a link tree.
	What are you trying to say?
	A link tree.
	There's a lot of link trees in Miami.
	What are you trying to say?
	I've been to Miami and there's a lot of link trees in Miami.
	Listen, there is a guy who's running for governor, I think.
	He's got John Fishback, I think that's his name.
	And he is proposing a syntax.
	Yeah.
	50% for OnlyFans models.
	Yeah, which is hilarious.
	Yeah.
	Florida.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	If you got a link tree in Florida, you got to pay 50%.
	Dude, I had a guy I know.
	Okay.
	I didn't even know Cuba was on the table.
	I think Trump went on the table.
	I think Trump got like a boner after the, like, I think the Venezuela thing went too well.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I actually think if it didn't go so well, it might have been better for the state of the world.
	Yeah.
	Because I think it went so well that Trump's like, oh, I could just kidnap people now, like wherever I want.
	And like, I really think, like, I don't even think in his head, he knew these things could happen.
	Yeah, now it's a heat chick.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Should he get one for long range?
	He's on fire.
	Let's see what else I got.
	Because he sends some shit like, you know, Cuba, figure it out.
	And then a guy told me today, he's like, I wouldn't go long on Miami real estate right now.
	I go, why?
	What are you talking about?
	Like, I'm not buying anything from fucking Miami.
	What do you mean?
	He goes, if Cuba comes on board, they're all going to go back home.
	And he didn't say it sarcastically.
	He was like, I was speaking to some guys and they think that like, you know, Cuba will be part of the United States of America in some way, shape, or form.
	Wow.
	I mean, I mean, this is the tricky part with modern imperialism: on the one hand, you're like, no, every nation is sovereign.
	You should respect their rights and their leaders.
	On the other hand, you're in the imperial.
	Havana sounds awesome.
	You know, they got those old cars.
	Don't we want some old cars?
	It was supposed to be like a resort thing.
	What is like a resort?
	That was the Vegas of the East Coast.
	But the Mafia was all locked up.
	What'd you say?
	I love me in Aruba.
	Yeah.
	So it's, I don't want to do that.
	I mean, I don't know.
	All this shit is just ugly.
	Like, it's just a shit.
	You should be able to do this shit diplomatically.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, even the Greenland shit, I cannot fathom that we cannot do whatever we want with Greenland.
	I find it hard to believe that we can't just call up Denmark and be like, yo, can we put a base over here?
	Yo, can we refine some minerals over here?
	I can't believe that Denmark is going, no, you can't.
	And we're not going to allow that.
	Like, don't we already have a base there?
	Don't we already have a presence in Greenland?
	We do.
	But like, China was already like buying up mines and shit like that.
	So that's why.
	So then you make a phone call and be like, yo, don't sell in the mines.
	We'll buy at the mines.
	Like, I feel like you.
	We did that already.
	This was like back in 2022, I believe.
	So now he's like, if it's just ours, now we can just, we don't have to buy shit.
	Can I do it?
	Can we get it?
	So this is the crazy thing.
	It's like they do what you want.
	And then he goes, well, I might as well just take it if it's ours.
	Oh, I thought they said no.
	And that's why he's like, man, we just take it.
	They said yes to selling it to the U.S.?
	No, no, no.
	They said no to selling to the U.S.
	But I'm talking about the mines, like letting other countries come in and collect some of their resources.
	Now Trump is just like, oh, if we own this shit, nobody could come in.
	Walk me through the hole in that logic.
	Yes, walk me through it.
	I'm not saying it doesn't exist.
	I'm just saying.
	This is the funny shit.
	Which imperialism we want.
	So Mark and I were talking about this last night, but this is the funny shit about it.
	Is it like, it's made people defend European colonialism, right?
	Because like Trump's like, we're going to take Greenland.
	And it's forced people to go, you can't take Greenland.
	White people in Europe already own them.
	Like nobody's making the argument that ethnic group that has existed there for thousands of years should have their own autonomy.
	Nobody's made that argument.
	Now one person said free Greenland.
	They go, no, other white people bought them.
	They bought them and owned them in perpetuity.
	Yes, we have to protect their float relationships.
	Yes, important question asks.
	The people of Greenland.
	Are they not white?
	No, no.
	The people of Greenland are, they eat narwhal.
	Pull up a pick.
	Pull up a pic.
	I need to see what they optically look like before I decide how I feel.
	More, I would say, like Cambodian.
	Oh, we can't do that.
	Oh, really?
	They're Inuit vibes.
	Yeah, I think they're like, first nation.
	Yeah, then I'm not on it.
	I thought they were, you know, very well.
	I think people assume that they're like Vikings.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	Yeah, I thought it was just Denmark getting rid of that shit people.
	Ow.
	Denmark's Australia.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, I think they're more adorable.
	You can't do that to them.
	But isn't it funny that nobody is going, should Greenland be able to just be their own country?
	Like, that's not even on the table.
	That discussion is not allowed.
	Oh, hey, hey.
	Let's miss Greenland 2024.
	Let's go.
	I love that.
	I mean, we might need to take it.
	Hey, hey, run that narwhal.
	Narwhal.
	Nah.
	Jesus us.
	I know.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, she's beautiful.
	With all due respect.
	You didn't say anything wrong.
	Not when I was thinking it.
	With all due respect for the intrusive dogs.
	I just saw myself ice fits, dude.
	I wanted to find a hole, drop the rod.
	With all due respect.
	I don't know why I thought that.
	I shouldn't have thought that.
	Come on.
	Okay.
	That is kind of funny, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	These are the videos that we watch right here.
	Don't say we.
	Dude, I send these videos to Mark.
	It's so funny.
	Can I say what you said?
	What I said?
	So this is narwhal.
	This is like a, I guess now it's a very, well, it's always been a popular dish.
	Not that thing that they're eating, the first thing that they're eating.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they cut it up with this like curvy knife.
	I don't know the name of it.
	And this guy was doing this mukbang with the narwhal.
	You see how they cut it right there?
	And then they dip it in this like little soy sauce thing.
	And this guy was doing this video and he was like, you know, this is a delicacy for us and it's how we honor our ancestors.
	And I sent the video to Mark and I was like, look, this is how they honor their ancestors.
	And he goes, you want to honor your ancestors?
	Eat a fucking burger.
	They didn't want to eat narwhal.
	Oh, this is the guy.
	This is the guy I watch his videos all the time.
	His name is Brandon.
	What is it?
	Brandon Kadlong Kadlan.
	Yeah.
	And he's Greenlandish?
	No, I think he's from.
	I want to understand the people.
	What's all the face tattoos and all that shit?
	I think it's cultural.
	Yeah, it's like indigenous, like the Maudi.
	Yeah, the Maudi people.
	Anyway, got to try it.
	A bunch of drill rappers over there.
	But yeah, I bet, like, I don't know.
	I recognize on the one hand, like, people's relationships with their ancestors, probably tenuous, specifically in colonial states.
	And it's probably hard, right?
	You try to reconnect with something that was taken from you.
	With that said.
	Talk that shit.
	With that said.
	That was some chat TV hour.
	That fucking right out.
	How can I defend this offensive thing that I'm about to say?
	With that said, if you went to your ancestors, you're like, yo, I got some narwhal for you.
	They'd be like, fuck no.
	We don't want this.
	You got AC.
	We want to have chilies.
	We want to be in America.
	Like, let's roll.
	But what if it tastes good?
	It probably tastes good, but nothing tastes better than a fucking Big Mac at 2 a.m.
	You convince yourself to buy overpriced sushi.
	Yes.
	All the time.
	Ain't that just the same shit?
	Well, if it was good, wouldn't it be available everywhere else?
	That's the thing.
	Like good food.
	Maybe we would have restored it.
	The rest of the world.
	I don't think there's one dish that's not delicious that isn't in every major city on the planet.
	Because if it's really that good, we're going to go fish your seas so you don't have it anymore.
	Right?
	Like, wouldn't isn't that kind of how?
	Every now and again, some new shit drops.
	So we're like, wait, this was here the whole time?
	Break it down.
	We didn't even know what Greenland people look like until right now.
	I knew.
	Probably because they didn't have any food worth eating.
	We got to try this shit.
	We didn't know about it.
	I don't think he's from Greenland.
	We should check that out, though.
	I thought he was, I thought he was Alaska.
	Yeah, we have to be accurate.
	Listen, we're changing culture.
	Podcasts will literally change culture.
	And we got to make sure.
	More specifically, where it helps with stereotypes.
	You know what I mean?
	If you're too broad, then it's like, oh, what are we even talking about?
	If you get real nuanced, that's a speech fly.
	Canadian, Inuit.
	Oh, Canadian Inuit.
	Nice.
	There you go.
	But yeah, I'm like, I don't know.
	There's some shit we just found out.
	Like, people weren't eating like salmon sushi until like 30 years ago.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, because salmon isn't indigenous to Japan.
	Right.
	I read this that like Norway had this excess.
	Yeah.
	They had this like hundreds of pounds of salmon.
	They just had to get rid of it.
	So I guess they sold it to Japan.
	And they kind of branded it as like new sushi.
	Yeah.
	But we just found out about that.
	Remember Chia?
	Where was Chia this whole time?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	No one ever heard of Chia that was in every pudding for like five years.
	Yeah, but I feel like we could live without that.
	Like that's going to work its course.
	But there's so many things like that.
	Acai.
	What even, you know what I mean?
	Acai backed up.
	Acai bangs.
	Acai bangs.
	Yeah.
	There's probably some little sneaky Indian dish that no one even knows about that's like, oh, this is fire.
	Great time for a joke.
	Who wants to throw it up?
	This is a perfect time.
	I thought it would happen.
	I prepared myself in the dream.
	Angel hair pasta?
	Maybe.
	I'm like, I don't know.
	I'm trying to think.
	We got to try it.
	We got to give it a try.
	We got to do it.
	It probably is, though, right?
	Because you could open your first, whatever that food is called spot here in New York.
	Be the first.
	I couldn't remember the name.
	Narwhal.
	Narwhal.
	Narwhal are those little, like, it looks like a seal with a huge horn, like a unicorn.
	All right, guys, let's take a break for a second.

	Okay.
	They're doing Zoom meetings with their therapist.
	Talkspace got to it before COVID.

	They're fantastic at it.

	Now, let's get back to the show.
	Did we figure out the daycare situation yet?
	No, truth is unknowable.
	We're beyond truth.
	We are beyond truth.
	Some of them got to be legit.
	You can't know anything.
	Some of them aren't.
	Some of them are legit.
	Can we talk about how frustrating that must be?
	If you had a legit Somali daycare in the city where there are illegitimate ones and what they're going through.
	And then you got a bunch of white people knocking on your doors with cameras.
	We're the kids.
	That's scary shit.
	Isn't that fucking crazy?
	There's probably some concerned parents watching the video being like, that's the daycare my kid goes.
	Where is the kid?
	Wait a second.
	So does anybody, did anybody get to the bottom of this story or no?
	No, I don't think it's been.
	No.
	No.
	But probably the truth is somewhere in the middle where there's some fraud and there's some legit and the reality will probably never make a lot of it.
	And then I shot a lady in the face for three times.
	So kind of.
	It's a real thing.
	Give a story with a story.
	Yeah.
	Nice job.
	Yeah, we started talking about that and we stopped talking about the Somali daycares.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	Most important thing when reading the news is that whatever you believe is what you're reading.
	And as long as it reinforces that, that's how I live.
	I just, I believe something.
	And then if I read news that goes against that, I say it's not real.
	And then if it does support it, then I just would say that's actually the truth.
	That is the internet, right?
	Like I will scroll on TikTok when the news story comes out and there is a guy going debunking the whole Somali front.
	And then there's another guy going, exposing the whole Somali front.
	It's the exact same information.
	Just pick your favorite one.
	Just pick.
	That's the problem.
	That's the beauty.
	Just pick.
	And maybe that is.
	You're looking critically.
	You just go, oh, nice.
	I was right the whole time.
	What are the odds?
	I've been right 20 times out of 20.
	Isn't it so much easier?
	It is so much easier to just pick a side and like ride for that.
	Like I get when I see people do that on the internet.
	Like I get why like we're talking about like the binary.
	It's either the internet right now.
	It's either America first or America last.
	And that's it.
	America last.
	Meaning like everything America does is bad.
	Oh, yeah.
	Like or everything America does is perfect and done for right.
	Like everything America does, everything America does or everything Trump is doing is 100% legitimate and we need to do it for whatever bullshit reason.
	They'll find some fucking bullshit excuse to justify it.
	Or every single thing that's happening in America is bad and this is why it's bad.
	And like if you view it through that lens, there is a massive audience of people that will consume your content on a regular basis because they're like, I already feel this thing and I need somebody to justify it.
	And that is the internet.
	And this massive space in the middle, which like we assume most people feel, right?
	Like we assume there's a lot of like normal, regular folks out there that are looking at the Somali daycare thing, okay, there's definitely fraud, but like there's no way every single one of them are fraudulent.
	Like there are children there.
	Yeah.
	They need to go to a fucking daycare.
	Right.
	It's not like there are no kids in these places.
	Like they're stuffing them somewhere.
	Yeah.
	So, but there's no creator that's going, well, here's the boring gray middle ground of what's happening.
	There's no clicks in it.
	There's no clicks.
	There's no views.
	And if there's no clicks and there's no views in it, there's people in it.
	And then they're not talking about it.
	Yeah.
	So it's like, it's almost like if you remove the financial reward of the internet.
	Yeah.
	If you completely remove monetization, I wonder if it softened it.
	Which is funny because that's what we used to say about the news.
	They're all just paying bills.
	I got ads to sell.
	Because didn't that, didn't that happen?
	Like, that's a perfect example of the news.
	You go to Fox News or CNN or whatever the hell it is.
	It's like, okay, you're just going to feed that narrative, whatever the fuck it is.
	And that there's a lot of money to make in that narrative because these people already feel that way, like you were saying.
	And, you know, same thing goes to the left and the right.
	The internet has done that.
	And now it's not only five news programs.
	Now it's everybody with a phone that wants to talk about something.
	And those audiences exist and they're super radicalized.
	And I'd like to assume that the majority of people are here.
	But now, I don't know.
	Like, if you go on the internet, you're like, I don't think there's anybody in the middle.
	I don't think there's anyone competing with a billion other creators as opposed to eight different news networks.
	Now you got to up the morphine on what your truth is or what you present that gets clicks and views.
	So it's getting crazier than any of the stuff that we said was fake news.
	I remember when Trump appointed RFK and they were making all these promises about getting real sugar out of soda and whatever, making food more natural.
	Some liberal guy on Twitter was like, this isn't actually a fix for anything.
	The only thing that matters is calories in, calories out.
	And it's like, yeah, but also, isn't it good to get chemicals out of food?
	Wouldn't we all just agree baseline on that?
	And he was like, this does nothing.
	And then it had so many retweets.
	And I checked the comments just to see.
	And everybody's like, I know it's a false, whatever.
	It's another lie that they're feeding us.
	And it's like, oh, okay, you guys want to believe that.
	Can't find a middle ground.
	And that's just what it is.
	Yes.
	That's so much easier, dude.
	Yeah.
	But realistically, most of the people that you talk to in your day-to-day life, do you find that they're pretty normal?
	The most normal.
	Like, that's how I feel.
	I'm like, I just choose not to believe the radical binary because it's like the real people I'm talking to are like kind and they have different opinions, but like, you know, they're nuanced.
	And if they don't know, they go, oh, yeah, I don't know.
	I'm not a, you know, everybody except the flagrant group cat.
	Yeah, the flavor group is a perfect example of the internet.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, that is how I feel when I talk to regular people.
	And it's a shame.
	Yeah, it's a shame that there's not more of a space for that, right?
	Like, I almost feel like you'd think the pendulum would swing away from the extremes, but I think the pendulum has swung towards apathy or distraction.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So instead of going, I don't want the extremes, I want a nuanced take.
	I think it's, I'm going to watch Landman.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	It's just like, I'm going to watch TV.
	I just want to escape from this.
	Don't give me anything political.
	Yeah.
	You know, I'm going to watch Handsmaids or whatever that movie was that Sidney's Weenie was in.
	Yeah.
	You know, I'm going to watch Avatar.
	I just need to escape from whatever the fuck these conversations are online that are just causing me dread.
	Yeah.
	It does make me feel dread.
	Like my phone is just, it's a Viking simulator.
	It's just, it's, it's OnlyFans, Girls, and then just death.
	Like, it's just like pillaging and sex.
	It's just like, every time I scroll, it's just like the most base human primal instinct of just like carnage, hot girl, terror.
	Like, it's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Literally, it's just like, it's, yeah, I think it's bad for people's brains.
	And I think detaching and tending to your garden and just actually like interfacing with real human beings that you love and care about is probably the most effective.
Latin Food Evolution 00:08:45
	Yeah.
	This guy got a roof and a garden.
	Like, God.
	This guy's living.
	Yeah, he's living.
	Hey, bro.
	Yo, let me hold some.
	I know.
	His whole I don't shower thing is so we don't know.
	Exactly.
	He got it.
	Exactly.
	Let me hold on.
	Let me hold on.
	If you have enough, you're rich.
	I'm telling you, dude, you just gotta log off.
	Log off the internet.
	Everyone quit.
	It doesn't matter.
	It's over.
	It's over.
	The internet is a failure.
	Right after this episode.
	Not more than a log on.
	It doesn't matter, dude.
	No, it's true.
	Right now, after this ad break, call me all day long.
	Hug your children.
	Okay.
	The words of Mother Teresa: if you want to change the world, love your family, dude.
	That's the only thing that actually matters.
	Did she have a family?
	She was a sister.
	Had many sisters.
	Yeah, that was good.
	That was good.
	That was good.
	Thousands of sisters.
	So close.
	So close, Mama T.
	So close.
	Half.
	All right.
	What'd you say?
	She's half Indian.
	Yeah.
	That's Mark asked me if I wasn't Albanian too.
	Yeah, Albanian.
	She's an Albanian, I think.
	It marks a connection, huh?
	Yeah.
	Indian Albanian.
	It's a good mix.
	How do you even get that?
	Really probably you had to get mistreated by a lot of men.
	Really?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, it was rough, dude.
	Jesus was the best thing you had ever had.
	Because either direction she went, it was going to be abuse and sanity.
	The perfect man turns out.
	She was ethnically Indian?
	Oh, I had no idea.
	I thought she was.
	That's why I thought you asked me if I had like ill feelings toward her.
	If you said that in a way, you were disappointed.
	Hey, bro.
	Shout out to Albanians, bro.
	What's wrong?
	I thought she was birded up.
	I thought she was full black bird.
	That's what I thought it was.
	All right, that's better.
	That's better, bro.
	I thought she was talking shit.
	I'm not going to be able to eat an Famiglian pizza in New York City again if you keep talking shit about the Albanians, bro.
	They run the pizza shops in New York City.
	Shout out to y'all.
	Oh, wait, what is this?
	Pro Football Championship?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The playoffs have also been awesome.
	Yo, right when we needed great distraction, this is why you think it might be a simulation.
	It's just like right when America's about to tear itself apart.
	We're invading all these countries with no good reason whatsoever.
	Can you pull up the Caleb play, Joey?
	Football steps in and it's absolutely fantastic.
	Fucking believable, dude.
	You watched the Bears and the Rams game.
	Yeah, I was, I was, I was just fixing.
	It was perfect.
	Like, it's the greatest football game ever.
	You went to the game?
	No, he didn't.
	I just watched it.
	No, he just watched it.
	I never watched a football game, really.
	Turn the TV on.
	This is someone else had it on.
	Actually, Zomb.
	You know, Zom does.
	He took me around to Salt Lake and then on the way home.
	He's a good guy.
	He messed up his shoulder on the last run.
	He did so much great stuff for us.
	And then some kid hit him from behind and broke his shoulder.
	Oh, brutal.
	Yeah.
	And then drove home the whole way one-handed.
	I was watching the game.
	And I was like, don't drive.
	He's like, no, no, that's fine.
	And he's a snowboard instructor.
	Like, he has to be out there.
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't know the exact diagnosis, but I think he's let me walk you through this game.
	Chicago.
	Oh, you're talking about Zomb.
	I gotta care about Zombie.
	I gotta go.
	I don't know this man.
	I don't know him.
	Nah, he's a good guy.
	Next thing you go out there, you're gonna take a song.
	Shout out Zom.
	I hope you're okay.
	He's Indian, by the way.
	Oh, oh, is he there?
	GoFundMe?
	I'm sorry.
	What is Zom short for?
	Zambinder.
	Zambinder.
	Sussey, are you okay, dude?
	I'll send you some money, man.
	Let me know.
	He's bringing out the best of our gosh, bro.
	It isn't a beautiful soul.
	Or the worst.
	Let me know how you let you know how cheap I am.
	Tell me.
	I did a very kind thing where it was cold.
	You got to get gas.
	We got gas in New Jersey and it was fucking freezing.
	I saw this Indian dude pumping gas older.
	So I tipped him and all I had on me was 100.
	So I gave him the 100.
	And that shit still hurts my feelings to this day.
	Like, it's still, I'm like, God damn, dude.
	I didn't have a fucking 20 on me.
	Damn.
	Damn.
	Both these guys.
	You tipping 100s this guy.
	I got going, bro.
	Can we guess on him?
	What's up?
	Can we guess on him?
	We got to check the books.
	Damn.
	Tie him.
	Son, if he was any other race, I'd have been like, hey, man, sorry, it's cold.
	Voom, voom.
	Come on, bro.
	But as an Indian, older Indian, I'm seeing him fucking bundled up.
	You know how cold it was yesterday?
	It's almost as cold as it was this morning.
	And 17 degrees of those of you who weren't listening.
	And this guy's out there pumping gas.
	I felt so bad.
	I gave him whatever I had.
	And if he was an Indian, I wouldn't have done it.
	But this is how cheap I am.
	That shit is eating away at me.
	I woke up this morning.
	I was like, God damn it.
	So now you got to go back a few times.
	Don't tip.
	Bounce it out.
	Decent weather.
	I'm going to do that.
	Yeah.
	Give me a 50-degree day.
	Probably not going to happen until May, but I'm going to go back.
	I'm going to look for that same motherfucker.
	What kind of Indian?
	Do you know?
	Catholic Indian.
	Who usually owns the gas stations?
	It's usually Punjabi or Gujaratis.
	Yeah.
	Or Gujaratis.
	Yeah.
	Usually Punjabi.
	Second option, Gujrati.
	Okay, so Punjabis are the gas stations and the hotels, right?
	Gujaratis are hotels.
	Oh, I thought the Punjabis on the hotel.
	Gujaratis are hotels, dude.
	But it is one ethnic group of Indians that own like 80% of motels in America.
	Patels.
	Patel cartel, yeah.
	They call it the Patel cartel.
	Yeah.
	Patel Hotel Cartel.
	Yeah, that's kind of nice.
	Can I just tell you something?
	That's fine.
	That's fine.
	That's part.
	They're doing a fantastic job.
	I want to get done with that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Because nobody's even brought it up.
	Oh, that, yeah.
	Okay.
	Like, if we had a problem with it, people would be like, well, why the fuck does 80% of the no, there will be YouTube videos soon.
	Yeah, of course.
	But like, what I'm saying is like, nobody's doing it.
	Shirley.
	Investigate the motel-addicted Punjabi.
	But like, nobody brings up a single issue about it.
	There's no.
	It is something interesting about Indians.
	Well, that one, when nobody's upset at this, the fucking subway sandwiches.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's all Indian.
	Son, I went to London or England and I was the subways are owned by Indians.
	I was like, God damn, dude, this is international.
	So what does that say?
	Do we like it?
	You couldn't trust a subway subject here.
	Wait, why?
	Why?
	Yo, when do you think they started putting yoga mats in the food?
	That didn't seem fishy to any of y'all.
	I know.
	The crossover is too perfect.
	I knew there was a connection there.
	I knew there was a connection.
	You guys love trains, dude.
	You heard Subway.
	You're like, this is good.
	Oh, man.
	Dead ass.
	I don't trust the Subway.
	Son, we went to India, got sick of the Subway in India.
	And we got sick on the way.
	I don't know why we ate it twice.
	We ate Subway in America before we left, got sick in America.
	Then went ahead to India, got more sick.
	I take back what I said about Indians bring out the best senator.
	I told you, I took him 60 seconds before he was like, fuck all these motherfuckers.
	I ate there twice.
	That support with my dollar.
	I support my dollars.
	I buy Brown Own.
	What about y'all?
	We buy Brown Own too.
	We were saying we love the hotel chains that they're doing.
	And we love Subway.
	We'd have no criticisms about it.
	It's only coming from you.
	Crabs in a barrel.
	I like chai from your chai spot.
	I don't know the name, but I like it.
	Fonties.
	Fontana's.
	Yeah.
	It was close.
	Is that right down the block?
	Fonties.
	Yeah.
	It's a 15-minute walk probably.
	It's West West Village.
	Fonte's the chain.
	Went a little viral.
	Really?
	Yeah, they got sandwiches there that are very good as well.
	And the chai's.
	What kind of sandwiches?
	They have like a subs.
	Yoga mat bread.
	No, they're good, dude.
	They have like a chicken stick up banini, panini, like a butter chicken, or nanini, it's called.
	So it's non as a panini.
	You don't even know yosh.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Just like Indian culture.
	It's true.
	The Indian food hybrid is fire.
	There was a spot in my town that was Indian Mexican food, and it was like Indian butter burritos.
	Yuba City shout out.
	Fire.
	Yeah.
	And it's so like quesadilla with like biryani.
	It's unbelievable.
	There's a taco mahal also, tacos with butter chicken.
	Great.
	Crazy.
	Yeah.
	See, this is the beauty of diversity.
	You know what I mean?
	DEI.
	Bring them together.
	Only in New York.
	You know what?
	That is only in New York.
	And Central Florida.
	Everybody.
	Yo, shout out.
	First of all, shout out Mexicans.
	Because it's almost all of the mixed cuisines are just your shit and Mexican.
	Right?
	It's like, here's an Asian thing, but Mexican.
	Nah, Indian Asian is Indo-Chinese.
	But that's the same thing.
	We got that fire Chinese Puerto Rican spot in LES.
	What I'm saying is like people love the Latin food so much, and then they realize people love it.
	So what they do is they put their shit on the Latin food.
	In the same way that like white people white up Indian food, like other cultures have realized like, okay, Latin food is fire.
	So let's just do our shit on top of the Latin and then it's going to work.
	And it works every single fucking time.
Streaming Content Explosion 00:15:45
	That's it.
	Yeah.
	Can I name one I went to recently?
	Please?
	Fire?
	Shalom Japan.
	Oh, he's feeling better now.
	Jewish.
	Jewish Japanese.
	Japanese.
	Double jab.
	It was fire, dude.
	That is.
	I think you're right.
	That is fantastic.
	Jab Squared, dude.
	Jab Squared is fucking incredible.
	And Miles is so depressed that he didn't even give it a chop.
	Come on, that's a fun one.
	Come on, dude.
	Yeah, I play Sprules.
	Check that one out, too.
	That's a great one.
	It's in Williamsburg.
	Miles, what's wrong, man?
	Yeah, why are you sad?
	I promise nothing's wrong.
	No, we don't feel the positivity.
	We don't feel the excitement from you, man.
	Everything's great.
	I don't know how to win here.
	Even though it's bad, he doesn't want to.
	It's really bad, isn't it?
	Oh, it's fine.
	Yo, Shifty, what's going on with Miles, man?
	Meow, meow, meow.
	Nah.
	Got to be in a mic.
	You got shipped in trouble for snitching last time.
	So he's not going to say shit now.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	All right, fine.
	Yo, can we watch this football play, please, Fonti?
	Fine, disgusting that half black people are capable of, L, because this could be your kid.
	Yo, this thing is crazy.
	Yo, look at this.
	Fourth and four, 27 seconds.
	Look at this fucking play.
	Runs from the cops.
	Caleb Williams, embarrassing.
	Is that not the craziest shit you've ever seen?
	This is truly the craziest play I've ever seen in my life.
	That was impressive.
	Fourth and four, he's at his own or at the Rams 14-yard line.
	He runs back 27 yards.
	He goes all the way back to the 40 and then just throws the fucking off both feet.
	No feet on the ground.
	Just throws it, touchdown, ties the game.
	And then he throws a pick and they lose it in overtime, which is the saddest shit.
	Yeah.
	Which quarterback is that?
	Caleb Williams.
	So what are we thinking for the championship games?
	I think the Rams, they have their 27% on Calci.
	I think that's a good bet because Seattle's a they dominated San Francisco.
	Oh my God.
	But all of them.
	People don't necessarily trust their quarterback in big moments.
	Matthew Stafford is a bad motherfucker.
	And for the Rams, dude, he had a game-winning drive against the Patriots in the first playoff game.
	Right before the drive starts, he goes up to Devontae Adams, another receiver, and he says, hey, let's go snatch their hearts out.
	And he just does exactly that.
	Fire.
	So it's a phenomenal touchdown.
	He's a cold-ass white boy.
	Yeah, dude.
	I love a cold white boy.
	I love a cold-ass white boy.
	Yeah, let's go snatch their hearts.
	Boom.
	So I think they win it.
	They haven't been playing great, but I think they're the teams.
	But only 27% chance.
	Yeah, that's why I feel like the odds are kind of the best there.
	Seahawks have got 40.
	I just don't.
	Most people don't really trust Sam Darnold in the biggest moments who's their quarterback.
	If he won, it'd be great.
	But if I had to put it down, I'd say Los Angeles just because they got good odds.
	Denver's fucked.
	If they want, I'd be astonished because they're fucking shame.
	I know, dude.
	Their quarterback got injured with three plays left in overtime.
	And then on the kneel, when you like kneel the ball down, it got worse, it seems like, because he started limping really badly, broke his ankle, out for the rest of the season.
	No.
	So the Bills aren't in it.
	Yeah, Josh.
	The Broncos are just going to end up losing anyway.
	Fuck.
	And that was a kind of shitty call.
	I mean, I don't know.
	What was your take on the interview?
	So they had one like 50-50 ball that every official seems to say was an interception against the Bills and like the Broncos got the ball.
	They said it was.
	The officials say it was an interview.
	Every official says it was an interception.
	And why do they consider it an interception?
	I don't know.
	Because to me, you catch the ball.
	So the receiver catches the ball.
	His knee is locked.
	It's his ball.
	Catches it down.
	And then after he's down.
	So I guess the argument they're making is that he didn't have clear possession of the ball.
	It was shared possession and then it was ripped out.
	Yeah.
	Like they both have possession, I imagine, there.
	Is that yeah, I guess they're saying he doesn't have clear possession, so it's incomplete.
	Well, so it's not in anybody's possession, and then it doesn't touch the ground, and then this Bronco intercepts.
	Oh, that much.
	Which could be valid.
	Okay, so maybe it wasn't as bad a call as people are making.
	But yeah, I think we all just want the Bills to win.
	Yeah.
	The Bills, the big live for Buffalo.
	Josh Allen seems awesome.
	So this is another one, right?
	Because last year.
	Dude, he's five, six years in a row, just heartbreaking loss after heartbreaking loss.
	And if you grew up in the time that we grew up, you saw the Bills go through this four years in a row.
	Four years in a row, they lost it.
	It's unbelievable.
	And it's like they live for that team, dude.
	And seeing how emotional he was afterwards.
	Oh, he's tearing up when I let my teammates down.
	Did you see what his offensive lineman did?
	Do you see that?
	So they're interviewing, I think, is one of his O-linemen, and they're like, Josh said that he feels like he let his teammates down, and this is a big O-line.
	Yeah.
	And he just starts crying.
	He had to turn away from the camera.
	He goes, he didn't let us down.
	And he has to turn away.
	It's kind of beautiful.
	Yeah, man.
	It is beautiful.
	It's a great game.
	And now that I have no team because I've given up on the Cowboys, I can just watch and root for a team every game.
	And yeah, we're having fun.
	I was hoping the Bears would be the Rams.
	The Rams won.
	I'm rooting for them.
	It's just fine.
	I have no loyalty.
	I'm just watching a game.
	I have a team I kind of like better, and then I enjoy it.
	This is it right here.
	How come no one's like the whole CTE thing?
	That just.
	Nah, we're over that, bro.
	Why didn't Michael Jordan molest kids?
	What?
	Hold on a second.
	Michael Jackson.
	Oh, Jesus Christ.
	Fucking Jesus Christ.
	Yeah, bleep that.
	Bleep that.
	Bleep that.
	That's a good idea.
	got to do like a lap or something you know how many sneakers we got to sell you're right i'm in timeout y'all go ahead bro yeah i really thought i had you dude unbelievable oh yeah why'd you even bring that up yeah what did michael jackson molesting kids got to do with anything It's too fun to just listen to the music and dance and have a good time.
	Oh, that's too fun to turn a blind eye.
	It would have been a good point if I got it.
	Great point.
	Shut shit down.
	What's history saying about that now that Mike is dead?
	Like, is it he did it or...
	There's a black history and a white history.
	It's very similar to OJ.
	Truth is unknowable.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So white's thinking.
	Choose your truth.
	Yes, dude.
	I don't think he did it.
	Well, what a surprise.
	I think he just proved my point.
	Mark, what do you think?
	To be honest, I have not looked into it, but he knows he would think he did it.
	Yeah, because I want to know.
	Mark not researching something?
	You know how crazy that is?
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	Yeah.
	That's interesting.
	What do you mean?
	I don't think he did it.
	I don't.
	I thought he was just stunted in the head.
	I think he's stunted.
	Yeah, I think that's gross.
	Yeah.
	And he's just sharing a bed with kids, which is weird, very weird, but I don't think he was like thinking sexually.
	I think there was inappropriate things there, like you shouldn't share a bed with kids.
	Yeah, but I don't think that he was like fucking a morning.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I don't.
	I don't think so.
	I have no opinion on it.
	And I'm not white or black.
	This is based on not reading any of the evidence.
	This is based purely on my perception of Michael Jackson.
	Yes.
	This is the way you should go about information.
	This is how I feel, and I'm going to just feel what I feel, and that's fine.
	Yeah, but my feelings don't align with one side every single time.
	That's the problem.
	Like there are some people who at least where they like force their feelings, maybe they're not going to be in before anything comes up.
	Exactly, right?
	That's what you were saying about the Minneapolis thing.
	It's just a Worshik test.
	It's like whatever you already felt, you're going to see in every single video, right?
	But my feelings don't align.
	So now you're thrust into this situation where you're like, okay, well, I feel this way about this thing and this thing about this thing.
	And then there's really, I think most normal people would be like, yeah, I have differing opinions on different things.
	But the group think is completely siloed.
	And it's a much easier way to go through life, I imagine, online.
	But regular life probably makes it horrible because every person you meet that is a normal human being that has like varied opinions on the world, you're either judging them or feel judged by them.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So what so their experience online is probably much more pleasant because it's just reinforcing what they already feel.
	And their experience in life is probably miserable.
	Yeah.
	I don't think they talk about their opinion.
	Or they create those silos in life too.
	Yeah.
	And then it's just reinforced.
	And they probably live online a lot.
	Yeah.
	I feel like they live online.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We talk about kids with screens, dude.
	Old people with screens.
	That's even more terrible.
	It is carefully complaints.
	We talk about screen time for like little kids.
	Like, oh, they're getting radicalized.
	Dude, it's like the 75-year-old dude that's at home that doesn't talk to his kids, that doesn't have any friends, that is just getting inundated with like Twitter.
	And we used to complain about Fox News.
	We're like, oh, they're just watching Fox News.
	That's bad.
	No, if they're on YouTube.
	Yeah, they know YouTube dad.
	It's over.
	It's over.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we got to get screen time limits for the elderly.
	I need screen time limits.
	I'm watching too much body cam footage.
	Oh, yeah.
	I love the body camera.
	I thought you were going to say porn and then you said the same thing.
	Yeah, I know.
	What do you mean you're watching too much body cam footage?
	You're saying like of what happened in Minneapolis?
	No, no, no.
	I avoided that one.
	There's these channels, shout out EWU and Midwest Safety that just have the most insane thumbnails and titles.
	And I'll just put one on and do the dishes and follow through with the whole thing.
	So, so to relax, you watch black people get chased by the cops.
	No, no, it's not black people.
	That's the best part.
	Generally, it's not black people.
	It's usually like a white trash family.
	And like the one I watched last night, the white kid killed his mom.
	And then they're like, What happened?
	What happened?
	He's like, Some guy came and killed my mom, and I don't know.
	And I just watch it, and then he goes in the interrogation room, and I just watch the whole thing top to bottom.
	And then another one.
	Shifty, shifty.
	Internet is cooked, bro.
	Shifty and I were talking about this yesterday.
	Shifty had a great take.
	Shifty, are you willing to respond with words and not memes?
	Shifty.
	He has a Rolodex of memes that he can respond to in any way, shape, or form.
	But what is your, what was your take about how legacy media is now punk rock?
	What was something?
	What was the take?
	It's like anyone can post on the internet now.
	So like anything you consume on the internet usually is going to be more slop and you have a little bit more trust in something that's on like legacy media because it's more money went into it.
	The most talented people usually worked on it.
	And you're not speaking about news per se.
	You're speaking about like HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount Plus, whatever.
	Yeah.
	And then Legacy has caught up to where they'll just like SNL like just takes the like talented people off social and it puts them on TV.
	So it's an interesting thing that's happened, like the shift, which is legacy media was locked into those like cable contracts, you know, for a while.
	So they were kind of like had their like hands tied behind their back in their ability to put stuff online.
	And also there are all these new streaming networks that were coming out, like a Paramount Plus and shit.
	And like people are like, what the fuck is a Paramount another thing I got to sign up for?
	Like what is all this shit?
	Now, if a show is good, regardless of what streaming network it's on, people will find it.
	Like you're watching Pluribus on Apple, right?
	With Severance, I think, was on Apple too.
	Taylor Sheridan Universe is on Paramount Plus, and I think other channels as well.
	Like you can kind of get to every show.
	It doesn't feel like there's that barrier of entry that like maybe four years ago, if you had an HBO show, not an HBO show, if you had like a show on an obscure streamer, it might just die.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	So Cobra Kai was on YouTube Red at first and then it died.
	Then Netflix picked it up and it was huge.
	And I think part of that was the fact that like everybody had Netflix.
	Yeah.
	And but to your point, it's like YouTube Red, who has it?
	I can't find it, even though the show was good.
	And yeah, it's just interesting that like all these, all these networks, now that they're not like shackled to cable where nobody was watching TV, are now putting like a new crop of young talent on their shows.
	And whereas before, when they couldn't really take risks, you had to just put the legacy, like they brought back Roseanne because it's like, this is the only way we can get people to watch cable on ABC.
	So now you're having young people who would probably be like influencers or like social media stars now being snatched up.
	And some of them were influencers or social media stars or in that like show in LA, I love LA or something like that.
	So it's like, so it's like you have basically Hollywood is doing what it had always done, but there was like a five-year wait.
	But now they are consuming all the talented people online.
	And I think what you'll see is the Stranger Things cast will be like the next crop of movie stars.
	Who knows if it works?
	But I think like the guy who played Steve Harrington, like Joe Keeling, they're going to give him movies.
	He's going to get a few shots to blow.
	Like I wouldn't be surprised if he was in some Marvel shit.
	And I think that if you see young people that you're familiar with and you've built like these parasocial relationships with, maybe that is the impetus to go watch their shows or even maybe go to the movies.
	Before, when it's a young kid going to watch another Tom Cruise movie and that young kid's like, I never grew up watching Tom Cruise.
	I don't really have a connection to who he is.
	I don't need to leave the house to watch Mission Impossible.
	And it was basically all on us.
	Yeah.
	So basically everything I said about movies a few weeks ago.
	Classic, classic flip off.
	No, I don't know.
	I don't know if movies are back.
	Well, like to Shifty's point, which I thought was really interesting, is that people might want to escape.
	And now networks are creating a lot of shows.
	They're like unshackled by any kind of like woke stuff that they're a little worried about.
	Like there's just like heartland shows that don't feel like they have to meet any like diversity requirement or they don't have to like police language.
	They'll just tell whatever fucking hillbilly story they want.
	People are finding it.
	They're flourishing.
	And then they've got like the coastal elite shows, like I love LA, and I'm sure there's some shit in New York for HBO.
	And people are finding it.
	I don't know.
	I don't know if you guys are feeling this, but it does feel like the consumption patterns are gravitating back towards network television a bit.
	By network, I mean like streaming.
	You think also maybe some of the writers block or the writer's strike where there's like this big lagging content.
	That's a good yeah.
	And it's like they're catching up.
	Plus COVID.
	Yeah.
	Like both those things happening back to back.
	I think there was just a dearth of good streaming content and the explosion of like sort of non-centralized creator content that kind of shook up the industry.
	And then now we're kind of like regressing back to what that normal average is.
	So I don't know if people ever like stop, stop watching TV.
	I think it just took streamers time to kind of catch up with what the new paradigm is.
	Yeah.
	100%.
	Or it could also be they're making TV dumber.
	And what was that?
	That's what I'm saying.
	Second one.
	Yeah, get that clip of it.
	I think a lot of it's at it.
	Ben and Matt on, you know what was really great about seeing Ben on Rogan and like seeing Ben and Matt.
	It was like Ben played the dumb guy in Goodwill Hunting.
	Yeah.
	And I think we assumed he was dumb.
	And it wasn't until 30 years later, we watched him in a long-length podcast and we're like, oh, this guy's fucking brilliant.
	Oh, they both went to Harmony?
	Yeah.
	Both geniuses?
	What the fuck is going on?
	Because, yeah, Ben is speaking with like profound confidence about an industry that he knows incredibly well, obviously.
	But just like really great observations.
	How did that Marty Supreme movie do?
Movie Industry Shifts 00:09:03
	Without knowing anything, I would guess it did extremely well.
	That's my feeling.
	So that means it's right.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, that's my reality.
	It made a lot of money, which is really good for the film industry and it showed that people go out to movies.
	I don't know if it made it profitable per se.
	Oh, okay.
	I was thinking maybe it was the opposite.
	Maybe it made money because it was low budget and then it didn't gross a ton.
	No, no, I think they were really excited about what it when it grossed.
	But again, it was an expensive movie to make.
	It's like it was like that Leonardo Capri movie, the, what is it called?
	One problem after another.
	It's like that movie made a lot of money.
	It was just really expensive to make it.
	Yeah, to arc it up.
	The ping pong movie was expensive to make?
	Yeah.
	I mean, huge.
	Yeah.
	Why?
	It's a no CGI, no, like what?
	What was expensive about?
	I mean, cast and locations and like shooting New York is probably expensive.
	Like making everything reflect the time is probably expensive.
	Yeah.
	Costuming.
	Yeah.
	It also just this variety article says from yesterday, it's A24's highest grossing film at domestic box office with 80 million, beating out everything everywhere all at once.
	Oh, wow, dude.
	Also still didn't break even.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	But again, the fact that it's generating, I think, is a better indicator because you can always make films for less money.
	You can get actors to say, okay, instead of doing it for 20 million, I'll do it for 10.
	Like you can tell Leonardo Capri nowadays, he can be like, listen, movies don't make what they did 10 years ago when we can give you $25 million on a piece at a box office.
	But if you're willing to do it for 10, I think that we can make a profitable movie.
	I'm just really surprised because the amount of marketing and like you were seeing the lead everywhere, the promotion that they did, I thought that was going to, I thought that movie was going to go.
	For this type of movie, I think that's exceptional.
	Like it's a movie based on a story that nobody really knows or cares about.
	Brand new IP, which is awesome.
	Yeah.
	They're pushing for something.
	I mean, back in the day, our stars did that with their own IP.
	I think it was a different consumption pattern.
	It's like, I think we were willing to take chances on an obscure movie about poker.
	You know, I mean, we watched, what was that movie?
	Rounders.
	Yeah.
	We didn't watch it in theaters, but yeah, it became this cult thing.
	Oh, it was awesome.
	I caught it on stars because there was no phone.
	I had cable.
	I was so happy.
	I see this movie.
	I'll watch it.
	Oh, this is amazing.
	So like this is, I think we were willing to take some chances because it's just part of what we did as kids.
	Like I remember literally on Friday after school, like, is there a movie coming out?
	Let's go.
	444 film.
	What was that?
	You would call the phone number and it would give you all the show times for the movie.
	Movie phone, movie phone.
	Yeah.
	Movie phone.
	Yeah.
	There was a Seinfeld episode that's funny where Chandler or Kramer's phone number is 444 Filk.
	So he just pretends to be movie phone.
	It was really funny.
	It's great.
	But Matt Damon also had the point in another clip where he said, like, also, because people aren't buying home movies anymore, they just can't make as much because you would make X amount in theaters if the budget was this.
	And then it would get released on VHS or DVD or whatever.
	And then all these people would buy it and then you'd make more money.
	Ah, but I thought you can purchase to stream it.
	But you're purchasing it instead of going to the theaters.
	You can rent it for $2.99, but you're not, most people don't buy it.
	Remember when people had DVD collections?
	Yeah.
	Do you remember that?
	Remember Blu-ray?
	People do.
	I'm going to get every Blu-ray.
	Yeah.
	Crazy.
	There was award.
	I thought it was a lot.
	I always thought it was so stuck.
	I was like, I can't tell you.
	How many times are you going to want to watch the same movie?
	All right, here.
	This is interesting.
	Play this clip about the reiterating the plot three or four times.
	The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was usually have like three set pieces.
	They kind of ramp up in the big one with all the explosions and you spend most of your money on that one in the third act.
	That's your kind of finale.
	And now they're like, can we get a big one in the first five minutes?
	We want people to stay tuned in.
	And it wouldn't be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they're watching.
	You know what I mean?
	So here's the thing.
	And then there was another conversation about when people are watching it on your phone or you're watching it on an iPad, it doesn't lend itself to the cinematography that, what was that movie Leo did in like narwhal land?
	Oh, inception.
	Revenant.
	You know, like these beautiful landscapes and you're taking all this time.
	You're shooting a magic hour.
	And I think it was Matt making a point where it's like, if people aren't consuming them on devices where you can appreciate that type of cinematography, it becomes less valuable.
	So then maybe they're shooting things a little bit more flat or something.
	I don't know.
	But this is interesting.
	It's like, what are you supposed to do?
	If you know people are looking at their phones while you're watching the movie at home, are you supposed to be like, well, fuck them.
	If they don't watch it, they don't watch it.
	Or do you do things that accommodate this new form of viewing?
	Vertical.
	Vertical drama.
	No, I mean, I've seen that, but like, I guess the artist in you goes, I'm going to make it no matter what.
	I'm going to make it how I want to make it no matter what, 100%.
	And then there's also a part of you, the artist part that goes, I want people to see my art.
	Not in terms of like for making money off of it, but because like I poured my heart into something and I want them to watch it.
	If they hate it, they hate it, they love it, they love it.
	But like, you know, you don't have to share your art if you choose to share it.
	You know, you want people to be able to consume it.
	Yeah, I wonder if it's different types of audiences you're trying to hit, I guess.
	You know, like maybe there's certain projects you're like, okay, this is going to be for mass consumption.
	I'm going to hit as many people.
	It's going to be two screen viewing.
	I'm going to have an explosion the first five.
	And then you can pick projects where you're like, this is going to be a pure piece of art that ultimately like pulls up the artistic, you know, core of the audience.
	Like, I'm not going to capitulate to the algorithmic overlords that force me to go to humanity's base instinct, which is like, you know, constant dopamine.
	I need to just like feel something at all times.
	Beautifully said.
	You go, like, I'm going to pull up the, I don't know, the human like artistic, you know, I'm going to drag you into, I'm going to, I'm going to appeal to your highest level of artistic integrity and intellect.
	Yeah.
	I'm not going to drop to the lowest level of it.
	Yeah.
	I think that you can do that.
	And then all of a sudden you got to be like, but we're making this move for $20 million.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	And I think that you got to be okay kind of losing money on stuff.
	Yeah.
	Like, I don't know.
	I was listening to a podcast with, I forget this guy's name.
	It was Alex O'Connor and another dude who's like an art historian that talks about Nick Flantis.
	I think he really loves one ancient artist.
	It was just about like architecture.
	Like what is architecture supposed to do?
	You walk around a city and like you see a beautiful building, like it inspires you to like think about the divine or think about like literature or like whatever.
	Like back in the day, like they would lose money on these public works projects to make something beautiful.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	This guy, the cultural tutor.
	Whereas now it's like all things kind of exist for, you know, like the new god is capitalism and capitalism requires cheap materials and simple building designs and like sort of ugly kind of amorphous boxes.
	Tucker was making this point too.
	I heard him.
	Thank goodness.
	Yeah.
	Good company.
	But no, something about like putting time and effort into these government buildings created a relationship between the government.
	And I don't know if you, I could be butchering this, but like there's a relationship between the people and the government that these places were not there to oppress them, right?
	That these were like beautiful things, beautiful institutions that they could be proud of.
	I don't know if that's how you get the greatest relationship between government and people, but when you do look at the old buildings in New York City, you know, like even in this neighborhood, there's a couple, I don't want to expose where we are, but there's that like beautiful old, I don't know if it's a government building or like an old bank or something like that.
	And it's like going up the street here.
	Yeah.
	And it's like, they ain't making those anymore.
	They're not putting the time in to have this perfect dome and archways and all this other shit.
	Like no developer in New York is going to get a fucking permit to do that and to take the time and lose the money to do it.
	Just build a studio.
	But yeah, you need some type of like higher calling that's philosophical, whether it's like God or nationalism or something to make you be like, I'm down to lose money.
	And ultimately, like you hope that art pulls people up to like their higher self where like they can appreciate something beautiful.
	That's probably the idea with like the public park, right?
	Yeah.
	It's like Central Park is probably the most valuable real estate on the planet.
	Like the park itself.
	Yeah.
	And they could easily siphon little bits off and sell them to developers and make fucking high rises and all that stuff.
	But they made a commitment for whatever reason that we're not going to do that.
	And it's important to have this space.
	And they meticulously designed it.
	Like it's beautiful.
	You walk a fucking Central Park and it's beautiful.
	And I think it's a cool thing.
	I think it's a cool thing to go, hey, we're going to, in the capital of capitalism, we are not going to extract wealth from this fucking thing.
	We're going to lose money on this thing right here because it's important that people have a place.
	I do wish they could get the horse shit out, but other than that, it's fine.
Capitalism Art Loss 00:02:32
	It's so dumb and all that.
	Yeah, I'm good with the horses.
	You know, the likable way of saying that would be like, we got to stop these horse carriages because it's brutalizing the horses.
	Akach is like, if we could just make them not shit, I'd be totally fine with that.
	Both end, you know, yeah.
	But yeah, like an Akash prediction, then, which is like something that he's probably wrong, but on a technicality, you'll get it right every once in a while.
	Um, I think that all the vertical viewing, like vertical dramas and shit like that, that's going to be bigger than movies and TV.
	Explain these vertical dramas.
	Everybody keeps talking about these things.
	It's big in China, it's big in Asia already.
	It's getting bigger here, and they're just shooting everything for vertical.
	So it's a TV short drama, probably maybe between five to 20 minutes, something between there.
	And then, um, yeah, they're doing all the same production value, lighting, and everything, but they just camera's just this way.
	And the whole thing is mentally.
	So it's quibby.
	But it's available on TikTok or available on YouTube Shorts or there's other platforms.
	And, but it's like the production value, like what's what they're putting out is amazing.
	Are they the same characters and the storylines and the characters carrying through?
	Or is it each one is its own little soap opera?
	And then when that's no, there's some shows that are continuous.
	Like they're like 30-minute shows?
	Yeah.
	No.
	How are they like five-minute shows?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And it's just enough where it's like, oh, okay, I can explain.
	I'll jump into that picture.
	And then you just pay, like, oh, $1 an episode.
	And they are just printing.
	Oh, you're paying directly to watch, like on TikTok shop or something like that.
	And you're saying that this will be bigger than the film industry?
	Yes.
	Yep.
	Hot take.
	It's a tough, it's a tough one, but maybe the film industry is constantly every year.
	It's getting smaller and smaller.
	Well, this is the film industry, but they just found a different way to.
	This is an example of one right here.
	Yeah.
	It's 41 minutes.
	It's 41 minutes.
	This doesn't look some are really bad.
	Yeah, yeah, some are bad.
	Like, whatever.
	But this doesn't, it's a new industry.
	It's like white people's tubi.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I guess.
	But it's like, hit.
	No, Schultz, you're so right with that.
	There's some on TikTok where like you can tell they're trying and they're filming.
	Some in the Asian markets with like the subtitles look unbelievably like good.
	Some in the American market that are coming out, it'll be like an Italian guy walks in the room.
	He's like, how you doing?
	Da-da-ba.
	Like it's overacted.
	It's bad lighting.
	Like they're getting there, but some are quite bad.
	But people are watching them.
	Like the views are insane.
	Yeah.
	And the drama is immediate.
	It'll be like, you shot my wife.
White People Tubi 00:00:57
	Yeah.
	That's why I'm going to watch it.
	And then the wife will look.
	Yeah.
	It's very funny.
	It's going to be huge.
	It very much feels like soap operas.
	This looks like an Indian soap opera.
	Let this be a lesson to you.
	No question.
	Touches are.
	It's actually a lot like Bollywood.
	Yeah.
	That's funny.
	It's like it's like over.
	Everything is like extra.
	That's like a Bollywood soap opera.
	A lot of like, whatever, the cuts.
	We're biting your shit.
	Yeah.
	It's come full circle.
	Isn't that wild?
	Bollywood is ripping off Batman.
	Yeah.
	And now we're ripping off Bollywood, ripping off Batwood.
	Yeah.
	Damn.
	You're welcome.
	Where are we out on time, Miles?
	Just over an hour and 40.
	Oh, wow.
	You want to hit Patreon?
	Yeah, we got to go hit Patreon.
