Sean Penn's Ukraine War Story00:07:05
Yeah, I've got a new show for y'all.
Got a damn good show.
Sean Penn, man, that dude, I loved his movies.
He's a great actor, man.
I liked him in fast times at Richmond High.
I liked him in Casualties of War.
He played a great white supremacist, homophobic soldier in Casualties of War.
You should get an award for that.
From New York City.
He nailed the accent.
UVC?
UVC?
That's VC right there.
I mean, just the way that damn gay slurs that gay slur, the stress with F, the way it rolled off your damn tongue, it was like perfect.
Yeah, you should have won an award for that.
Yeah, but he...
UVC.
I ain't a VC.
Hey, DS.
He ain't a VC.
See, Keith here?
Keith ain't no VC.
You?
I don't know about you.
You might be VC.
Yeah, if y'all didn't see the movie, y'all don't know what the hell's going on.
You know what Danny's?
Who the hell hasn't seen that movie?
Casualties.
Majority of our fans are white.
They probably seen Casualties of War at least 10 times.
Matter of fact, I get home, man.
I'm going to go ahead and watch it for the hundredth time.
Yeah, but anyway, Sean Penn won a bunch of Oscars.
I think a bunch, more than one.
He won Oscars for his acting performance.
And he went to go meet his buddy Zelensky in Ukraine again.
Yeah, he stands with Ukraine.
I stand with Ukraine too.
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't stand with Russia.
You stand with Russia?
You staying with Russia?
Oh, I see what you're doing.
What am I doing?
I see what you're doing.
For the sake of this video, I stand with Ukraine.
We all stand with Ukraine.
Yeah.
Hey, Kevin.
Not financially.
Hey, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.
Anyway, he's being facetious.
Of course we stand with Ukraine.
Just not financially.
That's all.
They got to fight their own business.
Hey, man, I'm over this.
Okay, okay.
Hey, so Sean Penn.
Fucking BC.
So Sean Penn went to go see the Vladimir Zelensky.
His first name is Vladimir?
Vladimir, yeah.
That sounds Russian.
Yeah.
Vladimir?
Zelensky?
That's Russian, ain't it?
Well, you take, you look at the country of Africa, Nigeria, and you got Sudan.
Two different countries, but it's in Africa.
How you think they look?
Same damn names.
So, I mean, that's why Russia's so pissed off, because they feel, whatever.
So, Sean Penn went to Ukraine to see his boy Zelensky, right?
Check this out.
This is for you.
Oh, Sean.
Yes.
No, please.
That is yours.
No, I feel terrible outside, but if I know this is here with you, then I'll feel better and stronger for the fights.
Yeah, forever.
And in my fantasy life, I mean, your shoes being as courageous as you.
In my peace life, it was a dream.
My peace life.
When you win, bring it back to Malibu.
Grad.
Right?
Okay.
Because I'll feel much better knowing there's a piece of me here.
We have to win.
We have to win quick.
Look quick.
Yeah.
He said we need to win quick.
How you win wars quick nowadays, especially when it's up against Russia?
What are you supposed to do?
Take that damn trophy and start beating up Russian soldiers.
You should have pawned it.
Got about $1,500, right?
Give it to Zelensky.
Maybe you could get him a couple of smoke grenades.
Because they need money from the White House.
The White House put this out there.
They want to send Ukraine, I think it was $38, $38 billion.
Yeah.
That'll be what over...
Yeah, you got $70 billion, ain't it?
Oh, I pull it up.
That'd be over $70 billion.
Yeah, go ahead and pull it up.
If the U.S. gives them this $37 billion, that's like $100 billion.
$100 billion.
Yeah.
But anyway.
You know, with $100 billion, you know what the United States could have deal with $100 billion.
You know how much a billion is, right?
$1 billion is $1,000 million.
Yeah, there you go.
Just to put things in perspective.
$1 billion.
$1 billion.
$1,000.
$1,000 million.
We gave him 100 of those.
If we give him another 38 billion.
If you check that money, you can actually be able to count all the votes the same night at the election.
Hell, you could fortify all our schools.
Put an armed guard in there?
24-7.
Murder detectors?
Like 10, 50 times over.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm glad the cameras are there so you know this is sincere, you know?
Yeah, that's important.
I mean, how can you prove this ever happened, man, if the cameras ain't there?
That's the most important thing, man.
You got to make sure the cameras are there.
What's the chances of this happening if there's no cameras?
What are you saying?
Y'all know what I'm saying.
If there was no Instagram, no social media, no cameras, would he have given them this trophy?
You think that trophy's real goal is just brass?
That shit is copper.
They just paint that shit with gold paint.
Shit ain't worth nothing.
How much is Oscar, man?
Yeah, Siri.
Siri, no.
Man, you asking that stupid.
Hey, Siri, how much is an Oscar?
Let me do it again.
Hey, Siri, how much is an Oscar?
There it is.
Hey, man, stop sniffing in my damn.
How much money is an Oscar?
All these damn ads, man.
Except how much an Oscar, how much money an Oscar award worth and how much does it weigh?
Who gives a lot of it?
Despite the elaborate ceremony, Academy Awards, financial value to winners does not come as prize money, but it's career-long earnings boost and lavish gift bags.
Nobody cares.
Hey, Kevin, what are we doing?
Hold up.
What are we doing?
Despite there being no payment for the winning nominees, there are numerous other ways in which attendees will benefit from the night.
I ain't reading all that shit.
You know how much this shit worth?
Academy Awards, while the Oscar statue is only worth a dollar.
Yeah.
This shit's a dollar.
Hey, how, okay, he has to give it back once they win.
How is Ukraine going to beat Russia when they shooting missiles in Poland?
Yeah, man.
They said that was Russia's fault, though.
Because they're fighting them?
Ukraine got excited.
Oscar Statues Worth Just A Dollar00:00:35
Somebody made a mistake in the accident and shot one of their friends.
I remember this talk about sending some, I believe it's talking about Ukraine.
We need to send them some planes and then we need to teach them how to fly them.
And then it's just fine.
That's something you need like years of training.
Yeah.
You're just going to train them for like, what, a couple months and they're going to get the hang of it?
Yeah, everybody knows this.
Everybody's watched Top Gun.
You just can't put a person in a damn plane and expect them to be any good.
What's that movie, Independence Day, when Will Smith went in that plane, that alien plane, and just automatically knew how to fly the bitch?
