None of them were California.

They took over.

Wow.

How long have you been faithful?

I go, that's why we do stand-up.

It's freezing.

what's up everybody and welcome to the podcast and today we are joined once again listen this is not the case at all he's definitely not running for governor of ohio i know that for sure i mean he'll tell you in a moment that he's definitely not going to do that give it up for vivek ramaswamy definitely not going to be the governor of ohio right people loved you in ohio man we uh

Okay, so you and him are beefing, but you just had different ideas for the program.

But we need to light a fire.

No, no, we're going to talk about that in a second. So what happened? And now you're leaving Doge right on the precipice of actually cleaning up the government, getting the managerial class out of there, fixing everything.

So who are you going to go up against? Who's the other? Whoever chooses to run. And it's just body bags all day. Zip, zip. Are you excited about that? Look, let me say this.

We were talking about this before.

Don't cancel my Twitter account. You're actually not that bad. You send the rockets. You're a good guy.

How do you do with these retard Americans, bro? We just got retarded Americans here in this country. There's no way we can figure out engineering.

Where were you on vacation? We're in Brazil. We're in Brazil. And I was just like, you know what? You saw them work and you were like, nah, these motherfuckers.

Actually, let me ask you this. You're still saying it's the immigrants that come here to make us smart. No, I mean, they're here for generations. They're here for generations. Just say, if you want it to be fine, just say white Christians are the smartest and everything will be okay.

So I think it is offensive for us to just say it's a problem for us that 25% are actually math proficient. They got 100% that can do math and they're still poor? Yeah. The other countries, like how are you still in the third world and all of you know math? Apparently math is unimportant.

This is in the developed world, but you should be focusing on shooting the schools up or something that can make your country, you know, the leader of the first world. This is what I'm getting from the data.

What did you say? We get it to our neighbors. This guy's crazy. He's saying nuke China.

Was he saying the AI computing? So I think about 6% or something.

Is that the Bonnie Blue video?

Okay, so just slow down for a second. So you were going to use the Constitution to remove legislation.

So you're going to use legislation to remove regulations.

So we've got $44 billion. No, for real. We're going to auction them again.

So that's what we got. We don't do that anymore.

Sell their flesh to the highest bidder. Sell their visa to the highest bidder. Sell their flesh.

What is a great Brazilian piece of engineering? What have they done?

Like we should have confidence. We're Americans. Like you're coming here and I'm going to beat you. I'm going to beat you. I want you to come over. I want to give you all the visas and I'm going to still outperform.

But it doesn't have to stay that way. You do know the whole thing is just it's good white Christian Americans don't like a brown guy holding the mirror up to their face. That's what this is all about. Don't you dare talk about it. Don't you dare talk about it.

Ann Coulter said this exact thing.

She literally said, I would not vote for him because he's Indian. Really? Have you spoken to her recently? Nah, I don't, we don't have, I don't have too much to say.

Yeah, I mean, I think there's a couple things. And that was funny to me. Where was the racial pushback? There's a couple things going on.

So just so I can understand, you're not against regulation as long as it's decided by democratically elected officials.

He's going to save the cats and dogs, man. Alex! Already? Everybody. All forms of life. All forms of life.

But also who is rewarding that union, somebody who's going to be in office for two, four years, and then they move on.

I think the market- Yeah, I was just gonna say that. Teachers are severely underpaid. Severely underpaid. So you think getting rid of unions, they're gonna start, the state's gonna be like, oh, let's pay them more?

Well, I don't have faith.

Just so we can understand, like a lot of this probably comes from good intentions. Oh, absolutely. Right? So these aren't like evil people necessarily.

I think we also have to consider that sometimes teachers are at the mercy of the families that these kids are born into.

Absolutely. And we can't punish teachers because, you know, they have a class of 30 kids who are all from single parent households.

It's like it's not it's not their fault. They have them eight hours a day. The other. And that was the other point I made.

What's that? How do you reinforce that?

How do you bake that into the identity of an American family?

Just give me a long-term project. What you're saying sounds really good, and maybe I'm just misunderstanding, but... I don't think that's a real thing. I don't think that's a real problem. Like I don't see anyone who, anyone who's like, oh, I can't wait to be a single parent household. Like no one's like striving to not have a loving family. So like, where is this problem?

Can you give me an example of that? Well, I do think that there are-

That's more a problem where corporations not paying people enough.

I'm sure there's always people that try to take advantage of the system, but the majority of people weren't like happy to be on welfare. Like it was a necessity. Sure. So I, like you say that like, uh, they all get paid more not being in a relationship. Like no one's striving for that. I agree with that. And it's like, I think the least we can do is to market it that way.

I feel it's a little bit disingenuous.

Like I said, I think money is the thing that fixes a lot. And if corporations are paying people more, now people can have two family households and make more than if the government was helping them out.

Yeah, but if we're paying people $15 on 40 hours a week, that's no money. No one can live off that.

No, it's because people aren't making enough money to afford housing. Housing costs are also high. Housing costs have shot up.

You're going to see it happen in California. You've seen it happen across the country. No, but specifically when they start to rebuild, there's a lot of people out there who like they bought their homes already built and they've never went through the red tape and bureaucracy of like building a home out there.

And then these people are going to see what it's like and you're going to see a monumental change happen in California.

I think it's nice to not paint all these people who are creating this, what do you call it? Creating regulation. Bureaucracy, red tape, you know, regulation. Exactly. As nefarious. By and large, most human beings are not nefarious. And a lot of times it's reactionary. Most human beings are good people. Yeah, there was like a fire in New York, I'm pretty sure.

I don't think that is the... No, no, no, no, but it worsened it.

It exacerbated it and it caused it to last. Fucking poor people wanted more.

So how come that bureaucracy is not affecting CEOs' pays? Because theirs hasn't been going up.

And I think one of the rooms was created in like an apartment building. And I think a fireman died because they built the room but didn't ask the city for permission. So the plot or the plan that they had. So then I think what the knee-jerk reaction was to say, you cannot do anything to your apartment without permission for the whole city. I'm probably butchering this.

Okay, okay. So there's a lot of things going on here. Yeah, there's a lot going on.

Okay, so just real quick so we can understand. It's not their capital, right? It's not their assets. People are putting their money into these companies. They invest it. But what's happening is they're using the leverage of all that capital to push policy onto these companies. And then the shareholders are actually not seeing...

And matter of fact, sometimes those policies negatively impact their returns. I believe that's the case. Gotcha.

Guys, listen, you know, an exciting weekend. I think that we need to have a little bit of a discussion about Akash and his picks.

Do you guys care about women? I do.

So there's that. I care about two women.

No, but it's the kind of example you see all the time. Exactly. And I get that knee-jerk reaction because you want to protect firemen. These guys are brave.

It was a good game. I mean, what's if they should have grabbed that pass? Dalton Kincaid. He's a good...

It's also easier to make calls for the most dominant team, right?

They're just more glaring. When you constantly are winning, you see all the calls that benefit the team that are winning. Oh, absolutely. Like when the bum-ass underdog team gets a call, you're not going, oh, this is so unfair.

Isn't that your team? Isn't the Chiefs your team? Isn't that your bandwagon team?

Nah, you just like torture. You're a masochist. No, I'm just kidding.

I love that you're like, I'm sick of my team not winning anymore. You know who I'm going to root for? The Buffalo Bills.

Okay, so you're going Chiefs.

You perform in Philly. You know you...

Of course, of course. What I'm saying is like, do you think that your viewpoint on what needs to be changed is significantly greater, more radical, more extreme? I know these words are like loaded and I don't mean them to be loaded. What I'm trying to say is like, I think that what you're suggesting is a massive change.

A lot of things going on. I need to know about Doge. What happened? You're on this podcast. You give us this beautiful soliloquy about the managerial class. Thank you. And it was so important that I was like, I need you to break it down dumb. Obviously, you're a very smart guy.

I just, oftentimes I see your philosophy and I think it's, I think it's very digestible in the things that you're saying and that you're using language that we're familiar with, right? And tapping into our identities and what we are as Americans. But the change that you're suggesting, I think significantly shifts the the course of the country.

And that is, you said this last time you were a pod, like we, we, what is it? We should have the country we deserve or something like that. This was Thomas Jefferson's idea. It's like for better or worse.

Exactly. For better or for worse.

And I, I think that's a very brave position to be in. I think a lot of times when elected officials win, they're forced to make certain decisions and they reflect and they go, you know what? really ain't that bad. Maybe we'll try to move it 2% this direction, 5% this direction, 7%.

And how do you get that? Well, you have to tap into cultural necessity. These people have to feel that you can deliver the change that they desperately need. Like what's happened, I think, not throughout entire American history, but when America is doing well. Yeah.

when poor people can feed themselves and pay their rent, there's enough magic and distraction in this country where they don't need to rebel, right? And that's kind of like the perfect spot for the really wealthy, where they're like, okay, we can get really rich and the poor people aren't gonna want- There's no revolution. Exactly, right? There's no, that's like, that's perfect, right?

And then every once in a while, you can see the desperation of the poor because the Luigi Mangione walks behind the healthcare CEO, blows his head off, and then the internet is like, hey, it'd be like that sometimes. Mm-hmm. And to me, the reaction was indicative of people being desperate. A lot of deep-seated frustration. Yes. So how do you tap into that desperation?

And I'm going to use this word sell loosely, and then sell them a solution to that desperation. Mm-hmm. I think this is kind of what happened—we can get into what happened with Trump, but I think a lot of people couch their support in Trump with these—how do I phrase it? They try to be noble in their support, right? Especially on the coasts. They go, yeah, I want to stop foreign wars.

I really care about the migration issue. They don't. Their kid comes home from school and they're like, why am I, I'm a girl, but I think I'm a boy. And they're like, who the fuck told you that shit? And I think that it's the cultural issue, but they feel uncomfortable saying that because of public scrutiny. So they go, we gotta stop these wars. And you're like, well, where are the wars?

They're over there, but we gotta stop them. How can you tap into what Americans are feeling, even if it's not what they're saying? Like when I saw the reaction of Luigi Mangione, I was like, oh, Americans are feeling resentment and extreme hostility to the healthcare sector. Sure. I think to government. Sure. I think to... What else would you say?

I think the government- Almost every major institution.

Yeah, but this is really good. Admitting the failure is very important. And to Trump's credit, I think there's a version of this, and I don't know how much of this is marketing or actual truth, but admitting the failures of your country. If there is something that we... like the Gulf of Tonkin situation. Like we should acknowledge that.

And we'd be like, hey, we did some foul shit, got us into a war. A lot of people died. That's bad. You have every right to have a lack of like a faith and trust in our government. We want to reinstill that. And the way we're instilling it is accountability. We don't gaslight you and be like, ah, you don't know what you're talking about. We go, hey, I did some goofy shit. That's Elon.

Say you did some goofy shit. Don't go, oh, you guys are making a big deal of nothing, because that's what Democrats did for four years. Don't be the exact version of the people that you fought back against.

We took accountability. Yeah. Or that's what I think maybe the left did a little bit. They took all this accountability, which is honorable. Hey, America was imperfect. And we're not perfect. We did some horrible shit. And then we stopped at that. Stopped there. And that's not it. It's, hey, we fucked up. How are we going to make it better? And I don't want the American right to stop there either.

Which is to say that there's- Well, the American right is the opposite. It's, we never did anything wrong. Yeah. Well,

I also think that what we're doing over here, which is, you know, shining a light on our successes and what we can do to improve the country. And it doesn't matter which side. It's the combination of both of those. It's acknowledging the failures of the people because the people feel failed, right? They feel like the government has failed them. They feel like these institutions have failed them.

Because they have. Because they have. Let's acknowledge that. And then going, we're not going to stop there and let you just complain and whine about all these institutions. That's good. That's good. We are going to show what's wrong with institutions and we're going to give suggestions that we think will make it better. And we believe in our heart to make it better.

And we are going to try to make them better.

That goes in all directions.

And you're making people feel like their failures are completely on them.

And I think that strategy... As you described it right now. It's grounded in truth. It's not a strategy. It's true. I think it's really relatable. And to me, like, obviously I'm in maybe a different situation, right? But I think to somebody who is suffering, who feels like these institutions are not backing them in the way that they need,

will then feel, one, validated in their feeling, their frustration, but also feel like they have some hope. Because I don't want you to be like, hey, you're poor because it's their fault, but good luck being poor.

I want people to be like, hey, listen, upward mobility is difficult for you, and there are these institutions that have restricted that, the government being one of them, but we want to fix these things so you can have upward mobility. And if I'm somebody who needs that, I'm going to go, well, yeah, let's try something because this shit ain't working.

Like, this is two guys that are married to women, divorcing their wives, making their wives marry each other, and then we marry each other. Oh, yeah, yeah. We'd be great.

We'd be great.

I just want people to understand the concept before you move on. So when you say invest in the stock market, I think a lot of people immediately go, and I was talking to the guy who started Acorns. I don't know if you know that account. This is not like a plug for him, but essentially this is his idea. It's like, We've kind of tricked people into thinking that investing is risky. No, no, no.

Investing is putting money in and having compound interest work for you over a long period of time. Long period of time. In a diversified basket. Yes. So when you invest in the stock market, you're not investing in one company. And I think that's what a lot of people think. They go, I should have put money in Nvidia. No, that's guessing. That's gambling.

Yes. When you invest in the full market, for example, the Vanguard account that you were just talking about, I'm just using it as a placeholder, right? Yeah. You're investing across the market. You put that 10 grand in, and then that 10 grand is compound interest over 20 years. You have X amount of million dollars. Yes. I don't think people really realize what that concept is of compound interest.

And it takes a lot of discipline, right? Because when that 10 grand turns into 50, and then something happens to your home, you're like, let me take that 50 out, and then we put it into the home. So I don't want to restrict people, but I do want them to understand the power of it. My parents were financially illiterate. They didn't know what the fuck that was.

But it's the long period of time that is the concept.

All right, I have a question for you. This one is near and dear to my heart, but so- My pops has dementia, okay? I know I've seen a bunch of articles about you, obviously, when I was looking you up even last time.

And it seems like there's some criticism, and I don't know if this is people trying to make you more radioactive, I don't know what exactly it is, about how you made maybe your big first chunk of money. I don't even know how much money you made.

Correct me if I'm wrong. And so that's where I land. Correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't you and Elon coming in as Doge, isn't that the same as unelected bureaucrats coming in to make a bunch of rules?

And I guess that there are people that are speculating on these drugs, right?

So you can develop a drug, and when it's in between phase two or phase three or phase four, whatever it is, you can speculate, meaning you can invest in the company.

And then a lot of times these companies will spike in between phase two and three. Right. But it has to go through phase four in order to actually be- It has to go through phase three to be approved or whatever. Whatever it is. Yeah. In order to make money, they're inspired by greed. They don't really want to help Alzheimer's. They're like, oh, I think this is a profitable endeavor.

Not everybody, but I imagine. Stock traders.

They're just looking at letters. This looks like it's got a chance. They try to get in early because if it does pass phase three, if they're getting a phase one or phase two and it passes phase three, they're going to get a 20x, 100x. They take that risk.

Which is also in one big success space for it. Exactly. But the idea, I think, is that you made money and then sold shares after it looked promising. That's the false allegation. Right. And they even said you put your mom in to get it approved. Oh my God. The level of garbage about this.

So you're not going to make any rules. You're just taking away rules.

It fails over here. You bring your mom in, go, hey, make sure it passes. It passes.

Well, I'm glad you explained it to me because I had a perspective. But this is not just politics. This is everything. I think when there's successful people that potentially could be in powerful positions, maybe they're not even powerful, you're going to create these narratives. And if the narrative feels good and justifies those people's pain or their bitterness, they're going to run with it.

I mean, you see this all the time.

Because the narrative is that's how you made all your money. In reality, that's how you lost all of your money. That's how I lost a ton on paper a lot of times.

I think addressing like, I think addressing like blatant lies, I think is important. It's something that we go through all the time because, you know, people make these things up that are just like so absurd. You're like, there's nobody stupid enough to actually believe this. Yeah. But then you see narratives take on. Totally. And then you're like... That was my wish.

I was putting out my special. This is the last special. I was going to do a special with the streamer. And then they didn't want me to say certain things. And I was like, all right, well, can I buy it back? And then put it out myself. And I put it out myself and I sold it myself. And then as I'm selling it,

I at one point tell people there's like video that's on my guys if you can't afford it just steal it it'll be on the internet somewhere you can just do that that's totally fine and then if you can't figure out how to illegally stream it I'll have it up on YouTube in the future yeah this is this is me telling people like if you can't afford it just go take it and if that doesn't work it's gonna be up on YouTube and then the special did really well and I guess

People spun this narrative that like, oh, you made us buy it. And then a few weeks later you put it on internet. And in my mind, I'm like, every movie that comes out eventually is on TV for free. Like every UFC fight I watch is eventually on YouTube. I'm like, I don't think I'm doing anything different than I, and I told the, but the narrative is he took our money and then he went with it. And I,

And I don't address it because I'm like, well, there's nobody that could believe this because I literally said verbatim on the podcast, like, just go take it and then eventually be there. But it doesn't matter.

If people want to see you come down, and I'm sure there are people who didn't hear me say that and then they felt, and for those people, I feel genuinely bad. I'm like, no, that fucking sucks because you supported me. And then maybe you feel like I tried to do something, but it's one of those things where there are people that,

They want to see you fail and they will, maybe they're not creating narratives, but they will believe a narrative that makes you look bad because it validates the way they feel about you. There's something about human nature that probably is natural. And that is unfortunately something that you have to deal with with success. Totally. That's the cost of success.

But how would you apply all of these new tech... You said Elon's trying to do, like, tech-driven rules. Yeah, so I'm going to let... Wouldn't that be new rules? Why?

Because like, that was something where I thought about with you and I was like, and it's deeply personal to me because of my father. And I'm like, ah, did he do some kind of tricky thing?

You can talk to people. Maybe that's the answer you do it. But you said, so you've been around Trump and you learned from him and you saw how he fought with ABC. Yeah.

But it's the kind of idea that's responsive to your question. But real quick, real quick. It's not just an investment in capitalism.

Damn. First we were dumb, now we're a bunch of pussies? No, no. It's education. We don't understand what these systems are, so how can they work for us if we don't even fundamentally understand them?

I interpreted it immediately as we didn't have the courage to put our money in there and then let it stay.

But to what you were saying is it's not only investment in the stock market, it's not only investment in capital, it is an investment in America. You want to see America flourish because when America is flourishing and American businesses are flourishing, your money is flourishing. You get to watch your money work for you. Totally. And again, I didn't understand this.

When I had my daughter, my wife and I were sitting, you know, with our business manager and they started telling us about these different things that we could do. We could like put our money in for my daughter's college fund now.

It's also education by participation and inertia. Right. When you see your money working, you go, I'd like to continue this.

Or even talk to you about how finances work. I went to good schools. Pretty good. Like I was never taught this at all. Totally.

Include all of us in the success of America. And I think right now, the average person, the middle class person, and the people who are impoverished do not feel included in the success of the economy or the country. They feel left out. And that might be educationally. It might be strictly just their inability to invest in understanding what it is.

But that education of those systems, how they work, and I also think there's a little part of it where it's like, if these funds are incentivizing people to gamble, it's not really investing, they might be doing it because they're making fees per transaction.

Get rid of that fees per transaction.

These hedge funds are making money per transaction. They want us to make these trades.

But can you explain how that works?

But before you guys started it, did you have this conversation about what your outlooks were for this program?

I would love to see you do this in Ohio.

And I would love to see it. This is why I think the Ohio thing is actually a really good example for you, because taking the reins of the United States of America before this is proven on any sort of like statewide or citywide level, I think it's very terrifying for people, especially it exists in this bureaucratic system. Yeah. But proving it in a place.

We're doing it for the next 20. Be careful running on that because you're talking about all these institutions that aren't existing in Ohio. So to people who are living there, it's like, oh, he's gonna bring a bunch of stuff that I'm not involved in. So he's must be bringing workers and people who don't live here. We want to leverage... I'm just saying, be careful.

Are you going to take donations from major corporations when you run?

Okay? But money coming from both sides doesn't really cancel stuff out. It's just the corporations don't have all the power and the people don't.

But wouldn't that put billionaires in a more advantageous position because then they could fund their own campaigns?

Okay. Okay. Okay. So this, I see you just deliver this amazing thing. It's crazy on Twitter.

We can agree to disagree on that. I think that's the biggest problem involved. I think that's why everything moves so slow, because they want to pass something and then they have to speak to their donors like, is it okay for me to pass this?

You're not wrong.

Is there a state that you've seen implement certain changes? And they don't have to be holistically in the way that you're talking about, but certain changes that have had positive effects and you've gone, wow, it is possible. Is there a state, even on like a small level?

Because we can point at all the poor decisions and how they've negatively impacted states, but I don't think we ever shine a light on the states that have made these changes.

Period. Don't enter the country. What if they're here legally awaiting their, what's the- Illegally? No, no, no. Like all the cases that are going on. Illegally though. No, no, no. But there are some that came, they're applied for.

You're talking about legal asylum seekers.

Yes. They went through the borders. So now they're waiting for their trial and then they have a kid. So I would say, let's just start with the lowest hanging fruit.

Yeah. No, no. But what do you say that when you see that, you know, I'm sure you saw like tweets or articles or something like that where it's like, oh, the administration is pushing Vivek out. Yeah. And what is the reaction to that? Do you call up Donnie and you're like, oh, it's good. I mean, the kind of African guys telling me what to do.

I could be mistaken, but what was like the provision or executive order that Trump did where now they can go into places like churches to get illegals?

What were you going to ask?

100%.

But you don't think any of the problems with private insurance? What's that?

Major problems.

And I'm sure they're lobbying to maintain that because it maintains their monopoly in the industry.

Would you have to do that on a federal level? Yeah, it'd be a federal level. Yeah.

Good seeing you. Thank you.

And he's incredibly loyal to the people who support him. And I understand that because if you support him in any way, you're going to be ready for him to call out. And you went all out. So I cannot fathom, like when I saw you- No, we're good.

Yeah.

But you and Elon, there might be some- No, not on a personal level. You can send him back home.

So what's going on? What digital efficiency is going to fix that?

Okay.

You should have been like... Finish it.

All of a sudden, Trump announces that you and Elon are running Doge. Yes. I'm so excited. I'm like, finally, this is going to happen. It's amazing. And then... You say you hate American workers or something. Oh, come on.

It doesn't work.

Yo, can I tell y'all a story real quick?

That's my trick, too.

$60.

four five six explodes okay okay she looks at him he goes she goes okay 50 oh that's moving so fast

I'd rather you let me burn a fucking house down before another man teaches me how to make a goddamn fire that's not my dad. In front of me. You could have pulled me aside and said, yo, can you ask the real man to teach you how to make a fire so you can burn a fucking house down? She's like, stop talking to me in front of people like this.

Stop, drop, roll.

Some fucking onion skewer. You know what I mean?

I got to get food poisoning for seven days, and he's like, yo, free Pakistan, bro.

They tried to take my Ethereum. They tried to take my Ethereum. They pistol-whipped me in my face. They pistol-whipped me in my face. I have one macchiato in one week. I'm so tired. I have only one macchiato in one week. They take my Ethereum and my XRP. They take all my XRP and my Ethereum.

That's nuts.

Mark, you wouldn't apply that same principle.

Reaction video. Can you believe comedians have fun on a podcast together? What a crazy idea. They even laugh at each other's jokes.

Wow.

I put $100. I put $100. It doesn't make more fun. Yeah, I put $100.

Yeah. I didn't know this when we were going through our shit.

That's a locker room fuck? Look at him. The way his face locks in. This is wild, yo.

Allegedly, though. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Now I'm not even, like, I just accepted the talking to me like this. I'm like, can you just not do it in front of our friends so they lose respect for me?

100%.

I don't know if I'm ready to do it that way.

I don't know what that means. Hey! I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. But my dick hit the bottom of the toilet seat. It started to come up. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? He's splashing up against me. I'm like, what is happening right now?

I need to have sex immediately.

All you should have done is just let them out once a week and they'd be like, man, put me back in that fucking bunker.

Did you really? Well, you put that clip up and all of a sudden all the comments were like, look at this scumbag.

I'm bottom five. But that's not how it works. You kind of have to average them out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When he took it out.

They're just cowards. They can't end it.

Right, right.

No, it's a bit.

Like a filthy slut anymore. Like I'm also a mom, but I'm also a filthy slut. Yeah, I'm both.

I see why that person cheated. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The old, the old.

What about somebody's second wife?

Oh, second wife.

She needs half. So how much do we owe grandma? She needs half. Okay, so the math on this gets a little fuzzy. They all need half. So the reality is. Everybody. Everybody.

What do you want from me?

That's our job.

And these fucking people are getting in a car and driving home together. Like this is not the same thing as a divorce.

He's the nicest guy. Are you kidding me?

100.

100.

He should take the deal. He's like, it's unfalsifiable. I tried to hit him back with the voicemail. Yeah, just hit him right back with it. Just say he's like, if you can't disprove what God said to him, he can't disprove what God said to you.

Thank you so much. Awesome.

No. No, Black Effect. He was doing Black Effect. He was doing a pod with Charlamagne. It was one of their first podcasts. Oh, really? Yep. Oh, that's wild.

Also, when you're on the sidelines and it's just like the most diesel testosterone induced dudes ever and there's one girl that's there. Oh, yeah. And she got the Sarah Palin glasses on.

that's true yeah you might have to nail it she's also a freak wait oh by all intents and purposes i mean the things that she was saying you should never say to another man besides your husband was nuts barely even say i'd hate for my girl say that shit to me but what the hell you're a mother why are you saying this don't don't do that talk different to your to your girl now

I was never into something too freaky because I was like, ah, this feels... But now that you have a kid, do you guys... Like, when you guys are doing dirty talk, when you're like... What dirty talk? No, but when you're like, there's nothing happening.

I couldn't get the rights to the movies. Oh, fuck. Yeah, we reached out and there was like a whole... What kind of special is this? Do me a favor. Don't watch the special. It's not for people like you. What the fuck does that mean, people like me? Yeah, people like you.

Dead ass. No, I can't pay for that. Look it up right now. They got inside seats and outside seats. And they got hang on seats. That's corruption. They can't charge for the top.

Right? Like, don't you want to go wherever the fuck that's going? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that doesn't seem like I'm going to work, right? That seems like a trip to a place. Yeah.

The audacity. You think that's where they got the idea? Yeah. They're like, yo, people like being on the top. Yeah. Damn, they really take everything from y'all. Yeah, it's crazy. They really did. Yeah, it's fucked up. Fucked up, man.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that was our fault. We didn't have coverage of him. There's like certain things that you want to have coverage of everything. The cover just means like you want to film every single angle of it. Yeah. And that's something I realized about Curb Your Enthusiasm that is so smart is that every scene they shoot, I'm pretty sure they... What's that? I think they do triple coverage. Yeah.

So they'll do like a wide shot and then two side shots. Yeah. And then the problem with it, there's not really a problem, but like... The scenes, like if you're like a fucking cinematographer, like they look kind of like flat or whatever. There's not these like beautiful moves. But the reality is what we care the most about is the interaction.

And there's no way, like on a traditional sitcom, it's usually set up punch. But in Curb, it's argument. And the only way you could get them going is if you have them both covered and then just riffing. And one of the cool things about Curb is you could see them break a little. Yeah, dude.

So how much do you think, like, going into... Let's say you're going into Curb, and you're not like a newbie. You have a relationship with them. How much... are you keeping in the tuck to surprise them for real? And how much are you going over beforehand? Like, this would be a funny thing to say.

And then they just try to... But if you got a banger, you save it for that second run-through. Yeah. Like, what some people do is, like, they wait until they get their coverage. Yeah. So, like... If you're not on camera, you're kind of going through the motions in a second. You get it. Yeah.

I didn't know that that's what people do. So like when you're super low on the call sheet, like when nobody gives a fuck, like every role I've ever had.

I'm not even on camera and I'm like giving it my best. And I'll have lines of like, oh, I got that shit. That was fire. And then it will come back to my coverage and then all the actors leave. You're just there with the stand-ins. Like, I just used my hot shit. I can't run this back.

You brought me to Stockholm for this fucking rap? You're going to fuck her to embarrass me?

Oh, yeah, it was first, like, before he agreed, I was like, you know, all you gotta do is you just gotta be there, and what the fuck was it? I was like, yeah, I got a special. I actually forgot.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. All right. So the original one was we were going to compete, right? And I show mine. And then he goes, oh, you want to play this game with me? I'll play it. Let's fucking, you want to play this game? Let's play this game. And then he goes, and it's all of his greatest films, right?

And then the last scene is behind the candelabra, the one where he plays Michael Douglas's boyfriend. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's, like, hooking up with Michael Douglas. And I'm like, did you mean to keep that last one in? And he's like, yeah, it's some of my best work. And I was like, yeah, this, right?

I like him even more now that I know that he's a man of culture.

If the middle toe is longer, you're an orangutan. Yeah.

What's the grossest shit you used to do during a hookup?

Bro, I used to share some saliva generously.

Yeah, just a little hawk to it. And then I remember I did that once, like, and it was, like, passionate part of the moment.

You had fucking poppy seeds and shit?

Nah, I used to be nasty, bro. No, but girls are, they get nasty too. I remember that one girl that would eat my butt a little bit. And then I started like really cleaning it. And then one time she didn't. And I was like, and I prepared it. Yeah. And now I'm looking foolish.

There was like 1% toilet paper in my ass. I haven't had it that way since I was like 13 years old. Brand new underwear. How far did you go? I went, I was like, hold on a second. I went to the bathroom. soap and water. Like, God, it's so... Like, if I could have eaten it, I wouldn't have eaten it. It was so clean. It was unbelievably clean. Alright, guys, let's take a break for a second.

It's time to get your money up. And not for now. Okay? For the future. You want to find a way to get your money up now? You got to go somewhere else. That's not what I'm talking about right now. And that's not what Acorns is about. Acorns is a financial wellness app that helps you use the magic of compound interest to take control of your money.

They have simple tools that make it easy to start saving and investing for your future. Okay, you don't have to be an expert. But remember, this is about investing. I think that we've been manipulated and tricked.

So the benefit of many different companies out there to think that gambling is investing, just picking random stocks and hoping they're going to skyrocket up and getting out quickly, that is not investing. That is gambling. Investing is putting your money, parking it, and letting compound interest take place, okay?

What that money is, that same amount, one year is going to be so much more than you could ever imagine 20 years later, and that's going to set you up for financial security and That's the goal with Acorns, right?

Personalized. And that's what they're about. That's what they want to do, right? They're not charging you per transaction. Okay? If they wanted to do that, they'd be like all these other, which are actually gambling sites, not investment sites, that are making money per thing. That's not what they're doing.

What they're trying to do is set you up for financial security or allow you to do that for yourself. Okay? You want to do that for your kids. You can even do that for your parents. Okay? Okay. You also don't need to be rich to do this. Acorns lets you get started with the spare money you've got right now, even if you've got spare change. That's it. You could round up.

Essentially, every purchase you make, the changes left over, you could round that up, and that can go directly into your Acorns amount. And you leave that in there and let that interest compound. You can create an account in less than five minutes, and Acorns gives you small, simple steps to get you and your money on track. Financial wellness is not impossible.

All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. You see the lights. You already know what time it is. Hard dick season. Okay? You know, four seasons in the year are all hard dick season when blue chew is in the system. Blue chew, the same active ingredient that's inside Viagra, Cialis, but this is the chew. It's the one that we rock with. This is the one that you get rock with.

This is the one you keep your wife, your side chick, the new girl you haven't even slept with happy. Okay? Always stay strapped. Also, you can get your first month free. All you got to do is go to bluechew.com. And for more details and important safety information, you can get that over there at bluechew.com as well. We thank Blue Chew for sponsoring this podcast. And let's get back to the show.

I get down here, but the top is off. That's crazy. Yeah.

The asshole's not crazy to me. That's the crazy part to me. This is the part that's crazy. Why? It's all crazy to me.

That's what I'm saying. It depends what you got going on. It's not for the finger. You know. What do you think it's for? Nah, y'all are acting crazy right now.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant. If you already saw that, thank you very much for watching it. Again, I appreciate you. Special's out March 4th on Netflix. That's Tuesday, March 4th. So next Tuesday. Damn, already a week away. Hell yeah. Yeah, shout out Matt Damon, bro. What was that like? Your neighbor. He's just a legend.

You're like underneath yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gooch and everything. Yeah. You open up your cheeks to shave down there?

I feel like that's more homosexual. How?

There's a funny take that we did not use and I was like bullying Dove into doing it. But you know the line where he gets up and he goes, Andrew Schultz has a special where his balls are made out of oatmeal. So in the skit, Dove looks at the oatmeal and then he just puts it down. I go, yeah, you know, it'd be even funnier. Andrew Schultz has a comedy special about how his balls are full of oatmeal.

i was like do i need to start searching you know because the way you said it i was like you're gonna help what the fuck i would do well i could marry her i'm not married you already got one immigrant damn yeah i thought about that today i was talking to my like also they got to be scared like our cleaning ladies because they're seeing trump on an episode and they're like

You know, like, it's not like that doesn't pop up on one of their feeds. Like, they're just on TikTok or Instagram or some shit. And then they see us all sitting down with the guy who's going to kick them out.

You don't think the illegal immigrants feed are full of the guy who's going to kick them out?

No, no, come on. No, I wouldn't. Yours is a snitch like the fuck. Clean the crumbs, yo.

Oh, she must have. She must have.

Bro, because I was asking her today. I was like, do you have kids? And she's like, yeah, I have four. And I was like, oh, word. And I was like, how old are they? And she's like, the youngest is four. And then one is eight. And then two are already in college. And I was like, oh, shit. Wow. And then she was like, two were born in Mexico. And then she was like, and two are born here.

And I wasn't interrogating her, but in that moment I felt like she could think that that was a possibility. And then I did that fucking classic white thing where I was trying to relate. I don't know why I did this. This is so fucking brutally embarrassing.

My bad, dude. I didn't know Kazakhs looked Asian. Yeah. Kind of, yeah. I think the Koreans got over there somehow, man. Deadass. Really? The Koreans? Yeah, them Koreans. I thought they were Borat. Yeah, I think Koreans got over there.

Look that up. Huh? Let me find out. Because there's a bunch of those Koreans in... They look like Middle Eastern-Asian mix.

I mean, that's probably that Silk Road shit, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that guy Bivol, the guy who fought this past weekend, who was a phenomenal fight, Bitter Bia versus Bivol. Like, if you want to see highest-level boxing, watch that. Yeah. One and two. Two was this past weekend. Bivol won. But he's half-Korean. So I think Koreans made their way into the USSR somehow.

Guys, guys. That's a valid point, actually. That's a good counterpoint. How the fuck? You don't think we had a couple mistakes with the Japanese internment camps? You don't think there was a Chinatown in some of those internment camps?

It's like he's George Clooney. Like he is locked in. He's coming up to me. He goes, so what do you think my motivation is? Am I nervous? Am I anxious?

I'm team Delta.

You know, every one of the pilots that have crashed is... Yeah.

If you could guess, what would it be?

No. Close.

The actor is actually such a good actor. He's really good. It's annoying. But you also, now it's also, I don't understand. It's like you're acting at peace with fucking the march. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's, so he's coming. It's like, what do you think it is? And I was like, yeah, I think that, you know, you're eating oatmeal and somebody says, your balls are mad. So you're grossed out.

No, it's a female pilot. I don't want to make a big deal about it because people have died and lost their lives.

I think she thought she saw an insect of some sort and then hit a fucking hard left and that shit just barrel rolled. That's what I think happened. I think it's hard for them to control their emotions in those moments. And she freaked out. That's my personal opinion.

Yeah. You're also not looking for upgrades anyway, right? Like, you're buying yourself a, you know, first class ticket or whatever.

By that chick, I'm all right with it.

Yeah. What are you two up to today? Oh, Jesus. We are celebrating. My new special's coming out.

Now fucking Steve Smith Sr. is the flight attendant that we might have to ask. All right, now what's the deal, guys? We had a lot of conversation on the internet about Doge. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay? Seems like some people are pretty upset about this Doge.

And he goes, okay, so I would look up, right? I'm like, well, I don't know. If Matt Damon was at a diner and you were eating and he started giving a speech, would you look up? He goes, yes, I probably would. We did more takes on Dove eating that oatmeal than me and Matt doing the entire thing.

If we got the piece, you could play the first 30 seconds.

Yeah. All right. So go, what does he say?

Yeah. We can stop giving, what was it like hedge fund? No, no. It was the gas companies like $3 billion in subsidies when they're already profitable by trillions of dollars. You know, doing the thing that John always does, which is like pointing out the most awesome things. Yeah. And yeah, he's just, he's just brilliant at it. So, so here's the frustration.

with Doge, and we were having this talk about it on Idiots, too, is... And it's a real bummer that this becomes such, like, a bipartisan conversation because... Or, no, a partisan conversation because there is bipartisan support for it.

Like, I feel like every single American is like, yo, there's probably some government inefficiency. No one really trusts the government that much anymore, right? They either don't trust the Republicans, they don't trust the Democrats, or they don't trust the institutions as a whole, right? So... This is the time in history to go get some of the bloat out of government, right?

Because we all seem to support it. Even Bernie Sanders is like, yo, I don't agree with Trump on everything, but I do agree we should look into that Pentagon budget. Why have they never been audited? Like, there is support here. And because of the way that they're maybe going about it, right? They're kind of, I don't even know if this has happened historically.

Charlemagne was pointing out that like Clinton did it, but he did it through government. But because this guy who's this very polarizing figure, Elon, is coming in and he's just seemingly hacking away at these different industries that are connected to government. Some people feel like without any real justification, right?

Like, I guess maybe they don't understand why he feels so confident that he can cut these jobs. Yeah. Is that is that the concern? Yeah. Hired a lot back. And then some of them are hired back, which I think should happen. Yeah, I think that's fine. But I guess the tricky thing right here, I'm curious, you guys take on this. Is it like there's all the support?

And because Elon is so polarizing, I actually think it's going to be harder to execute something that Americans as a whole do want. So this is one of those things where like being antagonistic and polarizing, like being what Elon is, is actually hurting a very bipartisan supported effort, which is to clean up government.

And I wonder if he can look at this and learn and go, oh shit, I'm actually doing something that people want to do, that people want in a way. that is going to make it harder? Or do you think he just looks at it as a CEO and goes, I'm cutting and I don't give a fuck what you're doing. And that's just going to piss people off.

But government's not a company.

I got this message from Jason yesterday at 11.03pm. Guys, I don't recommend sending a doge email to your wife to provide five bullet points of what they accomplished last night.

No, I can't do it. Mine's going to come back with like a list of 20. Mine's going to come back with like a list of 20 and she's going to be like, word. I already told my wife what Jason texted the group. Yeah, me too. Yeah, me too.

I wonder if that's even, I wonder if that's a real piece of change that he's trying to implement or that's just an antagonistic measure to rile up the base.

Right, right.

My question about it is like, what does it do? It just puts them in a position where they're going to have to potentially lie. I just don't know if it's effective. Nobody's going to answer that email. I've done nothing. You should probably fire me next. They're going to find bullshit that they did, so we don't actually get to clean anything up.

And now you've got people bickering online over something we actually agree on.

Yo, I wonder if they went about this a little different. Like, instead of doing it on a person-to-person basis, which these emails are, right? Because that's when I start to have empathy for someone who's about to lose their job and now say they provide for their family, right? And now I'm less supportive of these cutting measures that Doge is doing.

But rather analyze the different—I don't know what you would even call them. Like, what would you call, like, it's not a business— Department? Department, yeah. Analyze these departments for inefficiency as a whole. Prove transparently to the American people that there is inefficiency there.

Like, I thought the most effective thing they did, and I don't even know if it's true, is showed all the dead people that are still getting Social Security. I don't even know if that's a real thing.

But if you could actually show proof that dead people were getting Social Security, like people who've been dead 200 years still getting Social Security, you have unanimous support from Americans who are like, all right, well, cut that guy's Social Security. He's been dead 200 years. So start at the department.

Show the inefficiency and then you could pass it off to the senators or whoever you want to pass some sort of legislation to cut parts of that department. But when you go person to person and judging off the email, they said, now I start to feel like, well, shit, I had a lazy week last week, but two weeks ago I was working overtime every single night. You didn't email me then.

No, but shout out Matt Damon, man. Shout out Matt Damon. Absolute legend. Absolutely. I'm incredible. I literally hit him up. I should like see the text. Like I'm basically asking him to say no in the text. Yeah. And like I probably rewrote that text 40 different times. Of course. Right? Because I don't want to be too presumptuous. I can't assume you would say yes to doing this.

These guys are insanely competitive, so obviously he's going to go for it. Do you think that the Lakers support it? Do you think the Lakers are going to feed him all night?

Is it in L.A. or Dallas?

Guys, if you want to get your bets in, you go with Steak, okay? Steak is the largest... The world's largest U.S. social casino. That is true. The world's largest U.S. social casino. It's the world's largest U.S. social casino. Yeah, yeah. Again, we don't know what that means. We are committed to never learning what that means. Yeah. But if you find yourself at U.S.

And I know you have a million different things. Legend.

social casinos and you want to know which one is the largest... In the world? In the whole world... Rwanda don't got a larger U.S. social casino than the U.S. Definitely not. Barely got a hotel. I think you go to steak and make sure to use the promo code flagrant for your welcome bonus. Sports, politics, whatever you want to bet on.

Yeah.

Whatever you want, you do it over there at steak and make sure you use flagrant for that welcome bonus. Let's get back to the show.

So maybe what they're doing is maybe the thought behind it is, hey, these people aren't even officially hired. And if we know that these departments have a lot of bloat, why would we fire the people that have been working there for decades? And that's what they've committed their life to. Why don't we lay off the people? I think that's what you start with.

That's a good point because this is not like a one-time fix. You're going to have to do this every single fucking year until the end of the country. And unfortunately, we probably are at a point where we're so bloated that we're going to need some pretty drastic cuts.

I wonder if that has to do with the reward matrix. Like with cops, I think in the city there's a quota to the amount of tickets they have to give out. So you could go and find the really egregious things and go give them a ticket. Or you could wait in like a dark side street of a place where you know guys do like drag racing a lot. Yeah.

Actually, if you want to know, it's about my wife and I trying to make a baby.

And then clip them every Friday night when they're drag racing. Yeah. Like, I wonder if you just gravitate towards the easiest things, which is the risk-averse situation. But when it's the FBI, the thing that's going to probably help the country the most is when you're going at the most dangerous.

So now you're clipping this low-level bullshit that isn't really helping the everyday person just so you can meet your quota. So maybe you need to restructure the reward.

Yeah.

So, but no, I hit him up and I was like, dude, please say no to this. You have way too many things to do to be busy about this. But I got a funny idea for a promo for the special. If you're down, you let me know. And he was like, he's like, yeah, can we do it like between eight and three? That's when the kids are at school. And I was like, yeah. He goes, what day is good for you? I go.

And if you were going to change it, you would have already done it.

I get what he's saying. There is risk to the overfiring, especially in certain sectors.

Also, you could hire them back. It's not like they're going to work for the nuke place down the block. Yeah, but they're the nuke guys.

If I'm any of our ops... i'm trying to get a spy into doge and i'm trying to get them to push cuts in certain sectors that would be advantageous for me as the opposition so i want them to cut defense spending yeah i want them to cut uh, any sort of like security apparatus, maybe it's a nuclear program.

I would want them to cut development programs in AI or these other technological things that are really going to put America ahead of every other country in the world. Now, I'm sure there are certain measures that are, you know, put in place to like stop that from happening, but that's kind of how I'm thinking about this is like a once in a lifetime opportunity if you're another country.

And half of these idiots don't even, no, I bet 99% of these idiots don't even realize they're being manipulated. They actually think they're fighting a good fight. They're like, this guy's on point. He's got all the real research. I'm going to go and do my YouTube or my Googling to find out why this is all justified. And you can find justification for anything.

I mean, them motherfuckers believe the earth is flat. So they are out there thinking they're doing the Lord's work when they're doing Putin's.

what day is good for you yeah exactly like before this i hadn't really thought it was gonna happen yeah so i had a loose idea yeah and the second he did it became even more anxiety yeah yeah yeah now i gotta write something funny yeah so i wrote this thing with a couple guys mark was definitely helping out joey avery's held it out nesson and then my my immediately i was like i cannot fuck this up so i hit up neil neil brennan and neil was neil's fucking awesome yeah he's

There's a guy, I forget his name, but he was bragging about how he was like one of the most viewed people on Twitter, right? And a lot of his shit is just like the Jews do this, the Jews do that, right? And they probably do, but... But that's what his Twitter is. And he was talking about it. He was like, yeah, I was one of the most viewed on Twitter.

And I wonder if he even realized that those views might be amplified by our opposition. They want that unrest in America.

This is perfect. And he's out there going, no, the people really understand what I'm saying. They really care about what I'm saying. It's like, no, Russia does. China does. They don't even give a fuck about the Jews or not. It could be anybody. It could be Black Lives Matter. I'm sure that they were pumping the exact same people that were shitting all over Black Lives Matter.

Probably. Over there. But they start to restrict their internet for that reason. We act like they restrict the internet in these other countries because they want to control the ideology within the country. You can control the ideology within your country very easily. Yeah. You can't control it from the outside.

I bet there's way more restriction in other countries simply because they got to worry about their ops. And we are probably the best at it.

So then that's the education process.

You think Dan Bilzerian knows this? Do you think he knows he's been tricked into doing this? Bro. Why has he become such like the Jews do everything bad? This pivot for him, he was just partying, getting pussy, shooting machine guns, and now all of a sudden he's like the Jews are to blame for everything. Because it's hot right now. You get crazy views on it.

But does he not get views off the pussy anymore? Like, has culture moved away from it and now he had to find another grift?

It's interesting to see these guys pivot. And they all have pivoted in the same direction. Like, all the Manosphere guys are now the Jews of the problem of the world. Not all. But you've seen a lot of them gravitate into that space. Now they're, like, political experts.

But it's like, to see the exact groups pivot the message exactly, do you think they know that they're being tricked and manipulated?

Is it like, oh, this is hot on the internet.

Plastic bag in the wind. I'm just going to rile shit up.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. I agree. They don't realize it. But I think what Akash is saying, I thought what you were saying is they're just going towards the views. The views are in this direction. They're just following it. Yeah, that's what I think. And they have no clue they could be manipulated by a foreign government.

I can't believe you fucking said that, dude. Fuck that, dude. I don't believe in DEI. Yeah, yeah. Dude, white supremacy is such DEI. Why don't we ever have that conversation? Yeah. Like, these white guys are like, I believe in meritocracy, except, oh, white people should control everything, and we've got to stop letting everybody else control us.

Neil was awesome. So Neil was really helpful. And then he was like, hey, I got to go film The Odyssey Friday. Do you think we could do Thursday? Wow. I was like, oh, you're going to go film Christopher Nolan's movie?

How do the Jews control the world they can't even control Jew land?

This needs to be a white country. Make it white. Make some babies, pussy. Do you know what I mean? Go to the IVF doctor like your boy. If you can't get it done, Elon's out here trying to keep it white. He got 13 motherfucking babies. He's doing his part.

But there is something to that. The white supremacy shit being DEI. Because if you think you're the best, go be the best. Yeah. Like, don't cry about it. Just do it. Like, white people colonized the entire world. During that time, they weren't like, oh, we need to be the bad one. We're the master. They were just doing it. They were just like, look, the sun doesn't set on the British Empire.

We don't got to tell you anything. Go back to that. Build a ship. Build a ship. Get a long boat. Colonize somebody.

But those people smell.

All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. Let's just be honest. Some of y'all smell like shit. All right. And I'm not talking about you haven't showered like Mark. I'm talking about you just letting your skin be the scent that's vibrating in the universe. You don't have to do that. We got performance enhancing fragrances. House of the stand right here.

You want to stand out. You want to smell different. You want new memories, not those horrible memories that wrapped up in tears and trauma. Okay? That's what those other fragrances are.

You want the house of the stand. Okay? Maybe my Persian accent is not perfect. Maybe it's the stan, okay? But what will happen, no matter what, is panties will be on the floor, and that's what you care about. You need these centuries of Persian artistry mixed with Parisian refinement and a little bit of New York edge, obviously.

Go ahead, smell like greatness. That's www.maxaroma.com slash flagrant. Now let's get back to the show.

He's like, I'll fucking do it. That's what Neil found. Neil was like, listen, if you tell a guy from Boston what to do, he will, or not to do something, he will do it just because that's the energy. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. And, but yeah, he said he was down to it. And I got to give him credit for a lot of the funny too, because when we were riffing in the trailer, which was a surreal moment.

I think what he did is I think he did it. I think he just wants attention. Like I think Bannon's on the outs. He's just trying to get attention. He's trying to rally people. This is what he's been good at, but now he's no longer on the inside. So he's just trying to like get shit going and cook stuff up.

And the only way he knows how to do it is to be super antagonistic and he can tap into that core.

Right.

I don't want...

Miles, tell us about your people. Go.

Yeah. To be riffing a scene. Are you nervous in that moment? Yeah, I wasn't nervous, but I had like an adrenaline dump afterwards. Like afterwards, I just want to go to sleep. Yeah.

And you take away from the actual criticism. Like, you should be able to criticize Israel like every other fucking country in the world. Yeah. Like, we criticize Canada left and right. We can't criticize Israel? Yeah. Like, literally all of us called Justin Trudeau a cuck.

every single day for like three years straight yeah we can't talk about fucking bb netanyahu of course we can sometimes jewish people tie it in if you criticize israel then it's like oh that's which is unfair which is unfair but when you throw a fucking nazi salute up now it gives them credence to thinking that it's anti-semitism they have their ammo to go look at that if you guys don't do that if you're just if you're just like yo that guy who runs a country is a piece of shit yeah or calls gay like we did justin trudeau that's really effective nobody's tried that with him

The question is sexuality. Justin Trudeau had to step down. That's facts.

There are people that... Barely.

but like i was in there with the director shout out melby uh melby melby direct this andrew what's his name is andrew melber mel melby melby yeah that's melby but um but yeah we're just in the trailer and like he's like yo it'd be kind of funny he would bring up these little lines he's like it'd be kind of funny if like uh when you're trying to explain about the limp the joke thing i do the you know the dad joke he's like what if i just like

I don't watch enough Fox to know. I don't watch enough Fox to know. We don't hear it in the Zeitgeist.

Also, there's so many people that, like, this is the other thing, and I will defend politicians even on both sides on this, is, like, you don't have to come out against every single thing that someone within your party does. Like, it's not up to the leader of the Democratic Party to talk about the fringe senator that says there's 67 genders and be like, I don't believe in that.

Which, to be honest, is just as, like... annoying to the American voter. It might be advantageous to do that for the Democrats, to, like, call them out, but it's not up to Kamala or whoever the fuck is out there for every single senator that opens their mouth or every single, like, local congressman that opens their mouth and says some goofy shit to be like, I disavow, I disavow.

You can be disavowing all day.

I think he's kicked out. For me, I'm like, if I'm part of Trump's squad, I'm like, yo, we kicked that goofy motherfucker out. He's just trying to get attention. I don't even know why you let him on stage. You say that.

That's true.

I think Bain is below the level of react to. He's just a citizen at this point. He's not even part of government. If he's influential in this, what is it called? Not CPAC. It's CPAC?

If he's influential in CPAC, if he actually is, or if he's just a speaker that's up there, I think that's where you decide. If he's actually influencing where the money goes, because if the money starts getting clipped, Then maybe, you know, Trump starts to speak up.

But at the same time, like, there's no way Steve Bannon's going to say something and then they're going to stop funneling money into Trump's agenda. Fuck no. Conservatives are running everything right now. If anything, they should be telling Bannon, yo, can you shut the fuck up? We're actually doing some good work right now. We have everything under control.

You're going to fuck this whole thing up and make everything radioactive because that's the only way you know how to get attention. The Bannon is the type of guy, the only way he knows how to get attention is just make it radioactive. Hmm. There are certain people that can get attention from art. There's certain people get attention from creativity.

There's certain people can get attention from, from literally understanding what's going on and delivering the facts in a fun and knowledgeable way. Like that's a Jon Stewart, right? Like, I don't think anybody goes, Oh, he's just biased. He's trying to manipulate people when Jon talks, right? Like we trust him, but the band is just, how do I be radioactive? Oh, if I throw this up, I'll do it.

It's like wrestling to him. Like, I literally think he's up there and he's just going, so they looking at him like Kanye. Kanye is what I was thinking. I, I can't tell you what they are. That's what I look at him as. I'm like, I don't take that guy seriously.

Yeah, no, no. I think that you got to look at it and you got to be like, what the fuck? Yeah. And I think you got to have some maybe behind the scenes talk. But if he comes out and talks about it publicly, what do you think Bannon's going to do with that? Bannon's going to use that as oxygen.

He's going to lighten up even further. Yeah, that's fair. He's like, he's going to say, this guy Trump is defending a migrant over me who actually cares about America. I think giving him any oxygen is going to divide the party even further. And this is what fucking happens every single time. You get in power, you have an agenda, you're ready to go.

And then some motherfucking egotistical narcissist that has no ability to execute anything. A parasite. Yeah, exactly. Comes in and for their own indulgence. Do you want to ban him? Which one? What's going on? Elon is the bank. You know what I mean? He don't have to parasite.

What if I just, I realize I asked you something that doesn't make sense? He's like, you can use that in your skit.

Separate the art from the artist.

If I can listen to R. Kelly still.

And then I realize and I just talk right over. Yeah. And then like, what if you say you don't know the date? And I go, just remember to dipshit. Like a lot of the funny is him. I want to give him. Just remember to dipshit is so good. It's great. It's great. Also, when do you get to see Matt and Meme? Yeah.

It's an attention-seeking car. Not saying that that's what you want it for. You've always loved Teslas.

It could be Elon, but it's also, even if it wasn't Elon, even if somebody else owned it, it's such a different looking car than anything else. And, you know, when eggs are $40 and you see a guy walk driving around in a spaceship, there's a moment and you have a snowball in your hand. There's a moment where you go, you know what? Fuck that guy. I keep that.

I don't think so. I think there's so much excitement in what has been achieved. And you have to understand, like, there are a lot of people that agree with what Trump and Elon are trying to do. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of support behind it. Matter of fact, we support it. We support it, right? Like, we're all sitting here going, yeah, we have to cut the bloat in government.

I'm glad you said that. This is how, okay, there's a lot of liberal people that get very upset about this topic, right? Or they get very upset about Elon and what's happening. It's unconstitutional. Charlemagne was talking about that. And you have a lot of liberal politicians, liberal pundits talking about it as well.

And I think the important thing to reflect on as well, I'm not saying don't talk about that, but the other thing to reflect on as well is we are so disillusioned with government and American institutions. that we are willing to just see. Do you know how desperate you gotta be as a country where you're willing to just go, all right, let's try this.

That's when I pitched him. I was like, dude, you're the best. Everybody loves you in everything you do.

If things were good for people, you would go, I don't wanna risk it. My life is pretty good. I'm concerned if we do this, my life could get worse. You know how many people gotta be in a place where they're like, it can't get much worse. To go, let's see.

But we're all so happy. They fired 300,000 government workers under Clinton. But he did it with bipartisan support. So he did it through government. And I think that was the big difference maker. And during Clinton, it was the first time in all of our lifetimes where we had a surplus. Which would be nice. That would be really fucking nice. I think Americans are so detached from our national debt.

We're like, that shit ain't mine. That's the nation's debt. We're so detached. The only thing we think about is the repercussions of that debt, which might be the superinflation, the cost of goods being crazy. Interest rates. Interest, wild, right? But we got to knock that down to knock the rest of this down. I think if you knock the debt down, mortgage rates come down. Mortgage rates come down.

The liquidity is out there. There's more money on the streets. Yeah. Better for everybody.

Interstellar, same thing. He's so likable that when he does the villain turn, you're like, what the fuck?

First of all, Since when do we push back on people checking the government?

Like, that's the most American thing to do.

No, of course, of course. Which is very un-American. I think Americans will reject that. But what I'm trying to say is, right now you have people pushing back to what they believe is government overreach, right?

That is happening from the left to the right because the right is in power. There was a time where the governments, where the right was pushing back against left government overreach during COVID. Everybody go in your house. You got to take the jab, et cetera. We got to stop acting like we don't appreciate pushing back against government. It's part of our nation's identity.

Anytime we think that you're pushing a little too far, you get in my pockets, you get in my house, we push back. So on a fundamental level, even if you're on the right, you should appreciate the left going, hey, government. Yeah. Back the fuck up. Chill out.

Now, there's a part of you, if you're on the right, that goes, where the fuck was this energy when they were shoving shit in our arm that they don't know what the fuck it is?

But if you can step back for a second and be like, all right, maybe I don't agree with them, but I do respect their right to voice their opinion on this. And I fundamentally agree with them pushing back against government overreach. Yeah. There is something you can connect on there.

Wait till midterms is... I think that's an important thing to distinguish. Wait till midterms is your base is going to reject you because this is what your base wants. It's not. Well, Trump can't kick some. If he if Trump was kicking out the senator of Maine or the governor of Maine or whatever the fuck it was, he would just do it now. He doesn't have to wait till midterms.

It's like comical.

OK, that's politics.

No, I get it. But that's that's where that's where the elected officials have to speak for the people, because if they do, it doesn't matter how much money you throw against them. If you're actually speaking for your people and what they want, you will win. Trump got less money.

So now we're in a situation where you're going to basically force government officials to actually care what their people want, not what the special interest groups want. And if they're riding with these special interest groups— All of a sudden, the Trump administration is going to go.

It's interesting that they're really influenced by those big money donors and they're not caring about what you really care about, which is the cost of eggs and the inflation and the bloating government. That's what we're going to care about. And this is our guy. And he's going to fix that for you. Hmm.

Now, Vivek's plan was to do it using the Constitution. Yes, which I prefer. I think that probably would have been more digestible for the average, like, politically inclined American. Yep. Because they couldn't really reject the Constitution. You can't argue the Constitution. Yeah. I think Vivek pushed the wrong guy out. But it's quicker to do it this way. Yeah.

It's quicker to do it the way Elon did. And... It's a risky strategy, though.

But it's hard to go up against the rock. Of course. Of course. Of course. Like, it's just so, he's so impressive. You're like richest man in the world. Yeah. I mean, if, if we had to hire, I'm trying to think of a job I wouldn't hire Elon for. I wouldn't hire him to watch my kids.

He's busy, bro.

Keep up.

That's not as bad. See, this is the perfect example of fake news.

Yeah, he's busy. I want you working on shit.

So we're going to see how long do you think it is before we feel some of the negative or positive effects of the cuts?

I think it all comes down to that. How do you make people feel that? What does create a thriving economy?

For example, how do you address inflation? My understanding is the way you address inflation is you restrict or constrict the money supply, right? If there's less... There's less money out there. If there's more money than there are things to buy, the price of things is just crazy.

Yeah. So the only way to do that is to keep interest rates high. But if you keep interest rates high, it stifles economic growth because you need liquidity for growth. So it's a really fucked up thing. It's almost like you need to just plunder another country to take all their wealth. Yeah. That worked back in the day.

Yeah. We had Shiloh there and I was like, I'm not... Yeah. There's no way. Well, one, I didn't want to put her in, obviously. Yeah, no free clout. No free clout. You know what I mean? You worked for this. You know what I mean? You're not going to give it to her for no reason. Yeah, but also like her around... Breakfast food? We would not have a single taste. Just fist in the oatmeal.

I think we need to look into... Canada.

Is there any country rich enough where we could just plunder that bitch?

we're squeezing we're squeezing like the lower middle class like as much as possible and we have no power to say anything so because power to make change if you squeeze when you say squeeze the lower and middle class you mean like by paying them less we can show more profits and then the stock price goes on my my responsibilities to my shareholder yeah

I mean, that's what restaurants do, right? Like restaurants, I think minimum wage is like $15 an hour in some states now, but restaurants will pay you $3 an hour because they count your tips as part of your wage.

Yeah, that is fucked up because we know that the waiters aren't making any money outside of tips. You got to get it out. Thank you, my boy. I got it? Yeah. So we overcompensate. Yeah. But with DoorDash, you're just giving them whatever y'all give. Yeah.

Have you spoken to Uber drivers recently? No. No. So like a lot of the Uber drivers, when they first started, Uber was taking like 15%, 20%. Now that shit has come up to like 30, 40 in certain places.

So basically what they did is they lost money. to gain market share. And that is the strategy of these tech businesses now. Or maybe businesses in general now. So they don't have to show profit at all. And they'll lose money as long as the stock is cooking. And But what happens is what you're saying is that all these people that are driving are eventually going to go, you know what?

I didn't realize that eggs were expensive until I had a daughter. I didn't realize that fruit or blueberries or any of this shit. Is your kid eating blueberries yet?

I got to now work 80 hours a week to make what I used to make driving a taxi 40 hours or 60 hours, whatever the fuck they would do.

They have no lobby, no health insurance. And I mean, I guess it's not a monopoly. There is Lyft, but Lyft is also going to cook you as well.

Yeah. And also, you get better work. I think when people feel like they're properly compensated, they build their identity around the job. It's hard to build your identity around a job where you feel taken advantage of. Mm-hmm.

I mean, you would be fired on the first day. I'm the reason why that exists.

Oh, interesting. And I think, or my wife's nipple.

Dude, it's a good point you made there, Mark, about If you can create a business with replaceable employees, you really don't have to care about your employees at all.

And those businesses don't. Yeah. And they're incredibly profitable. There's the Henry Ford thing.

Yeah. No, but his initially, the idea with the... Maybe this is propaganda, but the idea was, I want everybody that works here to be able to afford the car.

Now, that could be... Henry Ford Association going, all right, let's not make him look like a fucking animal, make him look like he cares about the workers. But that was the idea, that they could make a car cheap enough that the people that worked at the plant could drive one. And if that is the case, imagine you're working at a fucking plant. Yeah. And you're driving to work every single day.

Mm-hmm. You must feel like the fucking man. Yeah. Pride. There's a lot of pride there. And also, like, when you look at, especially in, it's Detroit, right, where the General Motors were, or at least Michigan, right? Yeah. You would have, like, generations of families work at those plants and be proud of it. Like, they were proud to be part of that community.

And then when those plants left, it was devastating to them.

It's like they didn't know how greedy they could get.

So, okay. And again.

And what's the justification for that now? I don't know the justification.

But it's like the skill of certain CEOs. Like, for example, like what's the Steve Jobs, right?

Like whatever he got paid, he deserved it. Like he transformed an industry, transformed the world in a lot of ways. Yeah. Right? So you can't really put a dollar amount on him, like what he's worth to the company. Like are these certain CEOs, like are they worth this exorbitant amount of money because that's what they bring to the brand? Certain, yeah.

And again, it's like the NBA.

But I guess what I'm trying to – Like LeBron, it's so easy to see because he's 6'9". He got the handle like a point guard. He's got vision. He could shoot. He's obviously proven winner. I think with the CEOs, a lot of times we look at them outside of like a Jobs or a Musk and we're just like, oh, it's just like a white guy who wears a suit and he just tells people what to do.

Like, do they have these distinguishable skills? Maybe if we knew more about what they're actually doing for a company, maybe it would seem more justifiable to us. Yeah. Does that make sense? Maybe they are LeBron-esque in how unique their skillset is.

So the share price goes down because it's not...

I'm talking about women. No, our wives' nipples are a perfect pink color. Yeah, they're sick. 100% totally perfect pink. It's the most beautiful pink you've ever seen with no hair on it at all. Exactly, dude. Hairs don't grow on them at all due to all the hormones in their body due to pregnancy. Exactly.

How did he deal with that emotionally? I know you were reading that biography. Yeah, Titan. Did he have any kind of, like, turmoil about doing that to people? Did he feel justified in some way?

Yeah. I wonder if that's what, if that's what charity is. is to some of these incredibly wealthy people if it's just a way to, like, get to heaven. Like, it's a way to offset the greed.

You justify your fuck shit by this is what God wanted me to do. And then you do some good on the side as a token of your gratitude. Yeah.

I saw a hair on the shit and I was like, yo, we got to get rid of that. My wife tried to hit me with, that's how the baby knows where the nipple is.

Because sometimes I do feel like people, and we should do more philanthropy. We should figure out how we can give back. Yeah, I should. But we got you here. No, but we should figure out how we can give back, but give back in a way where it doesn't feel like sometimes I see people doing it and it feels so like self-aggrandizing.

You know, like I don't know if the money is actually trickling to the charity. Yeah. It feels almost more of like a pat on the back, like a public display. If I'm a good person and this is why you guys should believe I'm a good person, but then people aren't actually getting helped.

And then they put their kids as the presidents and CEOs of that foundation and they get a salary. And that salary is half a million dollars a year. So now you're finding a way to funnel money to your kids through this nonprofit. Right.

And I also wonder if trying to solve the biggest problem isn't the most effective way of doing your charity. Small things. That's the thing. That's the thing where I think Portnoy does brilliantly, like going to a specific place and giving them money to stay open. Like... We are saving this restaurant. We're not going, hey, we're going to save the restaurant industry.

That's a nice thing on paper. That looks really good. You get to pat yourself on the back. And maybe some people in the world are like, look at how benevolent that human being is. But going to one mom and pop shop, speaking to the mom and pop and saving their business, maybe it saved it for a year. Maybe it saved for two years. Maybe it saved for 20. Who fucking knows? But I wonder if that's...

The most direct impact you can have.

100%.

Mark, I would like you to hypnotize our audience right now. Okay. And tell them to come join us at Patreon.

Use everything you've learned. Don't tell us. Show us. You need something long you can wave in front of their faces. Can I unplug this?

Now that Jessalyn is a super famous TikToker, is that going to push back Baby?

It might be 5'9". No, he wasn't 5'9". It might be 5'9".

Wait, what? You guys keep blowing her up. Oh, we're blowing her up. I thought he was leaving it in.

Have you ever felt it? No. Can you feel it? She doesn't have IUD. Oh, she doesn't have it.

Do you want to know what the special's about or not? Sure. All right. It's basically this. The doctor puts the embryo in my wife. The second he puts it in, I'm like, ugh. No one says your sperm is like a C-plus.

He's like on the field. He was like the Aaron, the plumber of the NFL. Yeah. Yeah.

Why are you happy about this, son? You got a wife almost.

I bet Steve Smith's wife is calling that dude's wife like, yo, he does be fucking up the IUT.

Shit!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because they're like, if you want an ugly girl, you could have fucked me. I'm not saying it's his wife.

Okay. No, no. This is what I want to ask you. Your wife cheats on you, or your girl cheats on you, because you don't have a wife.

Because he's been supportive of it. Musk is like, I'll die on this hill. And Trump doesn't care enough about it. His wife got a visa.

I don't. Isn't this like a super pro-Israel administration? I just don't think they hate Jews like that. Oh, no, no. Okay, let's clarify something. I think he's just autistic.

And he got in trouble for that shit. Also, guys, show dates. Yo, Sacramento, this is kind of crazy. We got a fucking ninth show that we added Sunday at 6.30, so I'm going to be dead, but we'll have some fun right after the AFC Championship game. So that is on January 26th, January 31st through February 1st. I'm in West Des Moines, Iowa. February 21st and 22nd, I'm in Brea, California.

Hurry up and buy those tickets because they're selling out. Also, February 28th through March 1st, I am in Nashville, Tennessee. All those dates and more, many more at akashsingh.com. I think we're going to call this the generational triumph tour. That's what it's going to be. But I'll see you guys there. I love y'all. Thank you so much. Why she don't dress good? She can do better, bro.

It's literally one of the coldest days. He's a bald white guy. They pride themselves in it. That's probably why he did it. You guys think it's cold? Pussies. That's like a big bald white guy thing is never being cold.

It is funny to watch a complete 180. Now everybody on the liberal side is like, look, these guys stole the election. Y'all can't just admit your guys are fucking losers. Trump is a fucking loser in 2020. Kamala's a fucking loser now.

What about the other eight states?

The interior hadn't been redesigned since the 80s.

I know, stepping on his shit.

Wait, what was hers? Melania coin. Melania coin. Oh, really? And it went? No, well, the price of Trump coin dropped, probably because a lot of the same people were buying, selling it to buy Melania coin. Yeah. But it's like, why are you stepping on mine? Yeah.

What is that? I thought that was good. You're saying Emma knows how to dress. Yeah, so I'm giving him a compliment. I don't even know what you look like, to be honest with you.

Like, that's a steal. Yeah, it feels like he bought Twitter for this to happen. You know what I mean? And then he gave a little more money. Like, there's nobody more excited than this guy. He's been wanting this for years, and I don't know why. But there is some reason.

I mean, that's crazy.

Yeah, that's cool.

I don't know. Can I ask you a question? What him being a Nazi got to do with him going to Mars?

Yo, if we colonize Mars, how long until the Jews buy up all the land and then charge us crazy? Buy?

That's the Illuminati sign or some shit.

Why wouldn't she just let him rock with it? Because she ain't down. With the Illuminati? Who is that? You think if any of our wives are in the Illuminati, they'd be like, no, I'm not comfortable with this. You know what I mean? Yeah, rock, let it go. Don't even bring attention to it.

He had his right hand up, no left hand on the Bible.

This is exhausting, dude.

Trump's America. He's clapping for you to fix something else on his wardrobe. He's not clapping to applaud you.

Yeah, I also feel like we've been overdue for a recession for a long time, so a recession might hit.

By defending and being like, oh, it's a Roman. It's this, it's that. Exactly. Just say what it is.

i mean what's about to come out you ain't wrong like it looks it looks a suspect it definitely looks crazy suspect i think it's because they lied about knowing it was a man-made virus knowing it came from china whatever they were lying about the origins of it that's what i my first thought could be the vaccine too but i don't i tend to think it's they covered up when they knew where it was from you lie about one thing you lie about the other all of a sudden you gotta keep lying to keep up the lie there's a lot of lies going around what's in my arm man

Yeah. Thousand percent. Be like, yo, we got too many vaccines. Yes. If you want to keep a Republican. You got too many vaccines. That's the problem. Now he's autistic. You don't know what he's doing. There you go. That's what you do.

Wait, has he said anything on Twitter? He got to say something. He said something like, this is the tired bit of the left is he's trying to make everybody a Nazi.

That's like Spider-Man suing Norman Osborn's company. You got superpowers off of this.

It's that vaccine. Got you fucked. Bro, you got Fauci brain.

My heart goes out to your nose, man.

I mean, they were doing it for him, so he couldn't not. But yeah, they should stay in jail.

Oh, we care about... It was vaccine related.

I think they should all stay locked up. I think, actually, that was the one thing I didn't push back on when Trump was like, when Iran tried to kill him.

Do you want me to like them or not?

Hey, I'm sure they'll like you.

But if they say one thing you don't like, or if you say one thing about them blue-haired, weird bitches, fuck you. How dare you say that thing?

They're the ones, Democrats are the ones pulling up old tweets. Oh, he said this thing. How dare he? There are people who hate fucking Trump. Now they like Trump. The Trump people are like, yeah, what's up? Come on in. We love you. Great. Welcome. I don't know if they're better people, but it's a smarter play. It's a much smarter play than, no, you said this thing we don't like. Fuck you.

You're not welcome.

I think he tweeted that shit that really upset their far right wing fan base, which was like, remember when everybody's upset about H1B? And he basically was like, that's y'all's fault. Americans teach our kids not to work hard. You've like, he basically said Americans weren't exceptional. Yeah. And the base turned on him. Yeah. And I think that's when they were like, now we can't have this.

I think I also heard one rumbling that him and Elon weren't. Elon was getting annoyed with him. And then Elon just won that. Get him out of here.

Nah, but they were not happy with that tweet. If you'll notice, Vivek stops tweeting after that. He went radio silent. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, just look back. We didn't see him tweeting a bunch of crazy shit. We didn't see him blah, blah, blah. They were like, put a fucking... Cut it out.

But again, this is not a Jew-hating administration, so why would he do the Nazi shit? To separate himself. He's like, yo...

Yeah.

I think it was Hindu.

because the guy they kept going like well do you believe jesus your lord and savior he goes i believe jesus is a prophet or i believe he is a god or whatever but i believe in many gods and they're like that's not good enough yeah so now you're gonna go and try to run you're not gonna win and this is governor you don't think he'll win governor governor i don't think he could win fucking comptroller of ohio no way and i love vivek i'm i'm the guy that thinks he's great and i was very romanticized by what he said but ohio's ohio

They're not voting for that motherfucker. I don't care if you're in the liberal ass Columbus. You ain't winning nothing.

I hate that because he truly was about government efficiency. If you have a department of government efficiency, that was the drum he beat the loudest. Yes. He was the number one guy for that. So kicking him out before the term even starts, I took away a lot of hope I had for cutting because most of them are fucking useless.

government employees and i know you you act like that's not a thing but y'all are fucking useless you know it and you could we could cut like 70 of you and none of none of us would notice it's like you know have families so do poor people you should be one of them

If we went for Amazon, they'd be doing jack shit right now. Delivering me coupons I don't need. Fucking bills. Get out of here. I got auto pay.

Save your man.

Shut down the Hoover building on day one. Cash Patel, my guy. Talking that shit. Loved it. Do you think Cash got Vivek out?

Who do you think? Who do black people think did it? I just want, I just want, let's run back this government. Do I have to give you my heart again? I just want to run back this government thing real quick. Who do we think killed JFK? I don't know. Who do we think killed Martin Luther King? I don't know. Are those government organizations?

It's back when there was a hard-working government official. I will say that. Two people. It's a two-person job, the JFK thing. I got Jack, what's his name, and then Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey, and we're good. Done and done. Save money.

You can't be the in-between shit. Well, we are gender affirming. That's actually gender affirming. Yeah, this is very progressive.

That's the most progressive policy if you think about it.

Dunking with an Adam's apple.

That's why they moved him down, because he had a heart condition. That's his point. Bronny was dominating the G-League, but now he goes back and forth.

you could do that you know yeah or co-ed league you could do co-ed co-ed if that works yeah make a trans league you could do co-ed boxer briefs league you would kill in co-ed I don't know though it's not you would kill you I don't know I think you put me on a team I wouldn't have much of a role I wouldn't really do anything and then you would cut me because that's what you're supposed to do when somebody's just fucking wasting your resources haven't they been cut enough I just I don't know what would you do with them Al you'd let them compete

Like that we kept adding genders?

And then, of course... Oh, getting gender reassignment surgery without telling the parents. The school being like, hey, we'll help you. You don't have to tell your parents. It's like you have a kid that's 12 years old and be like, I need to be... What the fuck is going on? Who's raising my kid?

No, I mean, no, no, no. It's going to be the opposite where the liberals make you feel racist and bigoted for any belief. And then Republicans are going to do any racist, bigoted thing. And you're going to be like, well, that's crazy. You can ignore it. And I'd be like, no, it's just a Roman. It's a Roman sign.

China's AI, I think, is way ahead of ours. That's what this leads me to believe. We can't even replicate the fucking social media app. That's what scares me about China more than anything. Our American AI, with as much innovation as we have, cannot touch this shit. I thought we control AI. Yeah. I thought we were way beyond. Then why can we not get this algorithm? I have no idea.

Even people who work at TikTok are like, we don't have any fucking clue how this algorithm works.

Maybe they were like, listen, we need to keep TikTok before they just give everything to China. Yeah. So I talked to the congressman. Rohit Khanna did a petition to save TikTok. Yo, you bought, bro. Actually, he's a Democrat. He's like a Bernie type Democrat. But he was saying, I just thought it was overreach where like there were much more narrow solutions.

You could just pass a petition like, hey, you guys can keep TikTok here, but our data can't go to you. Or for example. That's what they say now. But yeah, so like he's like there were much more solutions. And then he goes, I can't help but notice the timing.

Once Israel-Palestine starts really popping up and TikTok seemingly has a lot more pro-Palestine people, all of a sudden Congress is bringing back this Trump thing that was kind of dead before. Hey, now TikTok is a problem. We need to get it out of here. And he goes, the timing to me was just, I thought it was suppressing freedom of speech. It was too suspicious.

Aren't there so many issues Every social media app has divided us on every issue. It doesn't matter. George Floyd, whatever. Every fucking issue, all social media does is divide us. Facebook, X, whatever. This election, we are divided. All of a sudden on this one, now this is where America is going to really tear itself apart.

I'm a little curious if Zuckerberg's like super hard right pivot is trying to cozy up to Trump more and more and help him be like, you know, maybe we get this fucking TikTok.

Yo, lookie. Go, go, go, go. It says something like, thanks to President Trump's efforts, we're going to keep TikTok alive and try to find a solution.

Yeah, that is where it seems a little anti-American is, hey, here's the best guy. Let's stomp him out. And that is the number one thing these uber-rich guys always talk about. The thing that makes America great is free enterprise. Yep, free market. You want to take me down? Build a better product.

They build a better product, and now you have a problem with it.

So they let white women on.

I was trying to say that.

But to your point, that's what this guy kind of was saying about like, yeah, there's solutions. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it does seem like a very odd overreach solution to be like, ban it. It's out of here. Whereas you could be like, no, make them take one of ours. Fine. The data can't leave their solution. And I do think Trump will find that solution.

Democrats deserve to go out bad. Biden's legacy is his last debate. You go out bad. Kamala's legacy is you got your ass beat. You go out bad.

Outside of that, what'd you think of it about the events? So I was actually in DC for the All In podcast, who I think they're awesome. They're doing a live stream. Damn, they didn't let you in? In DC. No, I tried. Did you try to go to the inauguration? No, I didn't want to go to the inauguration, but they were doing a live stream event in DC.

easy political win to just blame it on barack yeah because the insurance companies have fucked everything health care is broken and it's called obamacare that guy's a problem but you also could say whoever's in power for the last hundred years has let health insurance get to this point and the cost of medical care get to this point where they can just fuck us at every turn and we just deal with it but what's so interesting is like those same exact people are upset with the pharmaceutical companies they're upset with the health care industry yep so it's like

And then one of the guys, Chamath, went to the inauguration. But they asked me to come down. I think they're awesome. So I was like, absolutely. So I'm in D.C. watching the vibe. Buddy, I ain't seen white people this happy in my life. It was like a fucking SEC championship parade or something. It was unbelievable. The whole city, you can feel a buzz for sure.

And I think both sides have let them just run amok.

I'm sure they have some argument. I don't know what exactly it is. Pharmaceutical companies, medical care, like the cost of an MRI to the hospital is like, or an MRI machine is like astronomical. The cost of all these things is so inflated. And so it just, yeah, everybody's just being greedy at the top. And then we're kind of having to suffer the consequences.

When I talk to Canadians, they don't love their health care. I got a friend whose knee is fucked because it was like an unqualified doctor doing the surgery, blah, blah, blah, whatever, red tape. And his knee's just fucked.

Get an Andrew Bustamante for the health insurance companies.

He left. Now he's ready to talk that shit with she.

And I'm looking, it's like, hey, you know, Trump's base is youth. It feels like it's probably a little bit more diverse. D.C. wasn't. I never seen D.C. this not black in my life. You know, the most black people I saw in D.C. selling the Donald Trump merch to the white people. That's all I saw. The auto rickshaws, you know, they got the pedicabs.

Doctors get bitches.

That's the stereotype is, I learned this from fucking scrubs and it turned out to be true. The stereotype of surgeons is they're like the jocks. They're like kind of like the meathead doctors, but they still were really smart, got their shit done. The guys that go party and then still get an A on the test, surgeons.

You know, they're always playing music in Times Square, rap songs, whatever. You know what they're playing? What? YMCA. I love it. The whole vibe is Trump, Trump, Trump. I sent Miles a video. Maybe he'll put it on. But just like, you're stopped at lights. You see all these people with...

I tried, yo. That's a slow one.

You got the Disney menu. You got the devil's menu.

donald motherfucking trump shirts on or whatever like the vibe is crazy we're watching in a hotel and you can hear people fucking screaming and clapping when donald trump is shown on camera it was like uh i haven't seen white people this happy in my entire life yeah it was a thing It was a real fucking thing. Did you go to any of the events? No, I got asked to go to the Starlight Gala.

The New International Version of the Bible. That's the Trump shit from China? I read that, that shit made sense. Huh? That's the Trump version from China? No, no, no. That's probably his own Bible. That's a Donald Trump Bible. Donald Trump swore...

Faith is not about facts. It's about faith. So he's kind of got a point there.

You get forgiven for all your sins. Don't matter what the fuck you do, believe in God, and forgive me for this fuck shit I'm about to do, you're still going to have fun.

They go to heaven too. I think it's harder to get in. I think it's stricter requirements. Islam like the Ivy League. It's a community college.

But it was like, I didn't have a suit. It was a black tie affair. I got asked like two hours before. I was like, it's just not worth all that effort. But being in D.C., it was actually pretty cool to just see the energy. The energy around it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the Super Bowl. But also, I didn't know if I wanted to be in it.

Either of you guys watch the game? Yeah. I didn't watch the National Championship game because I just knew LSU was going to dominate.

Also, I think, though, if you don't have a pro team, like, those are the guys that that's all they have. So, Alabama... There's no fucking pro team anywhere near there. Yeah. But you got the University of Alabama. I think South Florida, same shit. You got Miami, but they don't really associate with Miami. Or like North Florida.

Exactly.

And if you went to a college with a good school, a good team, then you'd get into it and you'd be indoctrinated.

Did Deion Sanders do anything?

And you realize how politically invested people are when you see just like every loser on both sides.

No, he got his ass beat in the bowl game, but I still hope he comes to Dallas. Yeah, he might. I don't think he will. Oh, you want him to come to Dallas?

I've been living through it for 30 years. Deion is the one guy who can maybe push back on Jerry Jones and Steven Jones and get his way. He's the only guy that can maybe do it. He is such a fucking force of will.

She definitely does. Oh, the Eagles are in it? Yeah, the Eagles are in it. And I think they might win the whole fucking thing. Really? Is that good? Their quarterback is not good. He's got a hurt knee, blah, blah, blah. But I tell you what I always make the mistake of as a fan. Defense really does win championships. And I think the Eagles defense is really fucking good.

And Saquon Barkley is like having a historic season. And that might be enough. And they don't play. Dude, Lamar Jackson, I feel so bad for. Did you guys watch any of the games? I saw that. No. I just saw that guy, Mark Andrews, drop that. Yeah. Dropped the two-point inversion. Lamar Jackson made two really bad plays throughout the game. But generally speaking, he had a pretty good game.

That was a touchdown. That would have tied the game. Yeah. Now, Josh Allen, this is where I feel like we kind of got robbed of really great endings. Josh Allen, if he catches that, gets the ball back with 90 seconds and two timeouts, and then you get to see him try to drive and see if they can have a game. That would have been sick. Yeah.

The Eagles game, the Rams could have come, but they were down 15-28 with three minutes left. They're done. They score a touchdown, get the ball back, get all the way to the 20-yard line. If the Rams score a touchdown there, what a historic ending. But for Lamar, I'm like, oh, you just got to get out of the AFC. Every great quarterback in the league is in the AFC. Mm-hmm.

Like, you know, when we were younger, it was like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. Two of them were in one conference. Two of them were another. Imagine they're all in. Ah. One of those guys is just never going to get anywhere.

And that's where I feel like Lamar Jackson is stuck.

So if you don't make it to the— But, like, the Eagles have had a much easier path if they get to the Super Bowl than the Bills would have had. Yeah. The Bills had to play the Ravens. Then they have to get through the Chiefs if they beat them. Yeah. Like it's, I just think Lamar, poor guy. I really, he's not amazing in the playoffs, but he's good enough.

I think if he was on an NFC team, he'd get to the Super Bowl. Did the Bills win? Bills won. Stakewise, I do think they can beat the Chiefs. But again, I could be underestimating defense because the Chiefs have a really good defense. Their offense is not that exciting this year. So I think I'm just kind of taken in by Josh Allen and all the sexy things he's doing.

But I feel like, oh, they could actually win it this year. Hmm.

Ben, follow him on Instagram. He gas right now. Really?

What made you think it was him? Was he being sexually inappropriate with a waitress at some random restaurant?

You notice how often they didn't stand up? Trump is getting standing ovations. It's a little nauseating. Biden and Kamala only stood once when he said the peace treaty between Palestine and Gaza or whatever. That's the only time he stood up. Did you hear people booing?

There's no way he's not good at that. Right now with the shit, there's a chance. It looks like there's a really good chance. Think about the hand-eye coordination Jeter has. You think he can't play paddle? Nope. Okay. He's going to beat the shit out of you.

That grandfathered in.

I want to say there was one or two boos, but we were watching on a 10-second delayed feed, so you would hear people in the hotel. We were at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. You'd hear the lobby going crazy, and then you would know Trump's about to get shown. Hmm. They didn't really give a fuck about Vans or any of that. But Trump, that's, let's go.

I think I know which one I am.

Ooh. Any professional sports team. It's obvious for me. Well, go. I would own the Dallas Cowboys. And then the unique thing I would do is I would kill the owner. I'd have him put to death and hung in the gallows with his son.

Luigi never made more sense to me in my life, dude. That's what I'd do. And I'd be pretty unique and pretty popular, I think. Would you help the team? Yes, of course. How would you do that? I'd be a little less hands-on. I would hire some people that know what they're doing. I'd outsource. You guys handle it. Let's go.

Oh, I would execute myself.

Yeah, that is me. That's hands-on.

That, I'm hands-on. Everything else. Football matters, I don't understand. Wanting to kill a guy who's living with a child. That I got.

Yes, easy.

100%.

Yeah, it was freezing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Al got conservative as soon as he hypothetically got money. Ain't that crazy?

Well, apparently New York absolutely bungled their like presentation or whatever. Like it didn't play. It was like some family guy shit. They didn't care about something. And then Pat Riley comes in with all of his rings as a GM, as a coach, as a fucking player and just dumps them on the table. That's like his first move. And if you're LeBron, you're looking at that like that's the one thing.

It might be an emoji tomorrow. He's like, I've got an idea. First good thing he invents.

Yeah, the smile on Zuck's face afterward is the funniest part.

So this is where it was cool to watch the pod, the stream with all in guys, because they're so fucking smart. Like just seeing their reactions immediately. They were like, this is them. Their way of saying, hey, America's back to innovation, back to like rewarding greatness and all that stuff. Like having the Apple CEO, the Google CEO. Hey, look at America.

Look what we can do and look what we reward. It was like they felt like that was like an intentional thing.

They might be cucks, but they're about their money more than anything. Do you know how Zuckerberg got Facebook?

I was like, yo, what is going on? She's like, there's a lot of hormones after pregnancy. I was like, right, Gardner.

1,000%.

Yeah.

Yeah, she killed that shit. Your family don't want to see a Janet Jackson titty real quick? Oh, God. That's the best.

You've had enough black guys just walk by you and be like, yeah, you can't handle all that. Yeah, he's all glowed up now, you know? He's slagged out, so yeah, he's good.

No, that's petty. I feel like she misses them. She wasn't at the pop-out, though. She wasn't at the pop-out show. Right. So that's probably why.

Like a Stockston joke. He goes too far.

Crazy, right? Not everybody got a father. She's a singer or just a get ready with me girl.

Yeah.

Let's put it in reverse and then just.

Nah, you got to wash the chicken with soap.

I was getting ready. You're a psychopath. I'm trying to see how many I can get out in a day.

It was decent. I thought it was all right. It was decent. I wish he had better song selection, but he did perform a lot of his. best hits when he performed with Dre in two Super Bowls ago. Yeah, we just watched it. And he played like all those tracks that were popping at the time.

12?

That's the problem. I tried it. When I put my effort into something, my...

Yeah, I'm surprised about that.

Yeah, yeah, it's over now. I like betting on sports. I won my Super Bowl box. What was your box? Zero or two. Like I won the final score on my Super Bowl box. Yeah. It's fun, right? How does that work?

Yeah.

almost it's honestly it's a conflict this is a much more interesting yeah it's more complicated it's far more complicated and it's longer lasting yeah what is it what would you think al you're an expert on this particular topic it involves a white woman oh a little taylor a little blake lively a little baldoni you're gonna get me excited now come on finally let's start the pot

What?

You read? Yeah. It's good?

It's an audio book, but yeah. I'm on it.

I need to read it at all costs.

What other money is this?

What's the other chat CBT for history and stuff? I don't even know. Perplexity? I don't know this one. I swear I don't know this one. Go ahead. My bad. I'll use the one you can say.

They do that, right? They do that, right? Don't they do that? Like, he said one thing and she heard something. She heard a totally different thing.

Yeah, yeah. Asshole-ish.

she invites okay and they're meeting at her apartment all the time to like work on the script and to hash out scenes and do like regular production stuff got it so when let's stop there how would y'all feel if your wife i ain't going that's what i'm saying you ain't going you were not invited your wife's getting piped out by jason i'm not gonna be i'm putting my foot down you're gonna go alone to this answer you're not the star of the movie

If I'm Baldoni, I'm not even going back. I'm asking about if your wife would start a movie and she's inviting Baldoni over.

I thought we could all get on board on that. He's like, duh. That's a good one. That's a good one. He's skinny now. I said you're skinny now. Yeah. He was saying. Now you're going too far.

But you know, like when like fat people get skinny, you kind of got like, well, you got like post fat body.

That's fucked up.

Way, way sexier. Yeah, slightly sexier than I did. Don't leave my wife a voice note sounding like that, bro.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, my back from putting too much work in. Putting too much work in. Yeah, you put too much work in. Which is, that's a red flag.

I don't know how tall she is.

She's 5'10". Yeah, I feel like that's a good amount of shit. Yeah, but they don't eat. She's probably like 120. No chance she's 5'10".

That's crazy. No, no, no. I don't know bitches.

And I think that is when they started recording everything. Yeah. After this argument.

Got it. So why did Trina snitch, though? What's wrong with the bro code, bro?

That's a thrift shop in fucking Williamsburg right there. Yeah.

But she didn't read the book, so she doesn't know how to character dresses. Yeah.

And outside of non-hip hop fans, no one knows Not Like Us. That's another thing.

yeah don't you disrespect the amount of white people playing bad bunny's album right now i think he could do the super bowl with this latest album chance i think he could al you know new york whites they're half puerto rican yeah bro he just sold out they just all like you're you don't know toledo ohio white people playing bad bunny i bet you a fucking while since you've been on the road

You might get your Baldoni on.

Unfortunately. No, no, no, no, no. I'll give you Pitbull, not Flo Rida.

But the music's incredible. It is stupid. Bro.

I'm just being honest with you.

He got his Baldoni bun on, son. He knows what time it is. She gotta be six feet tall, bro. There's no way.

She's a good actor. I mean, I believe it.

It was like, really? You should have been more Candace winning and just pick a side and tell the story from that point of view. Who's really a man? That's what I mean.
