That's the funniest day in Miami. That's a funny day.
Just being like, hey, you want a nose? Nah.
That guy was just charging at me.
He went fast, dude. That was fast. Completely naked.
And then all of a sudden, on the rearview mirror of my vehicle, I see this naked guy just running towards my neighbor's car, which was parked right next to me.
Once he fell back, I was scared. I was shocked. I didn't know what else to do. So I backed up. Whoa!

Oh, my God. We have to be careful. We have to be careful. Paul Simon, where's Art Garfunkel?
And then the kid goes like, hey, let me go. We'll cut that part and then we'll keep the rest of it. Okay, but I think it'll work.
It's not really the chair that makes the chair. It's all the stuff around it and the guy in it.

He's the skinny boy.
It's a great excuse.

So that's good enough for me. Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. Little boy from Montauk, sing the song. It's a bunch of little boys. You all know the song. I'll take a little boy from Montauk.
Which is about three feet higher than I can jump.
Yeah! Because he was swinging on that badger for too long. Because he was swinging on a badger.
Fuck that! Fuck that shit! Is this communist Russia?
Chin to shoulders. Could be.
Boulderhead could be the new sign of wealth.
This is why Preston Nichols is this way.
And you're like, ah, fuck.
Oh, wow. It's a sandwich-based economy.
They kept saying stuff like, stop running over the metal, you're going to get a shock. And I said, no, this is my favorite time. This is where I like to be. I'm one with the grass.
Yeah, you're right. I got some ricotta in my water bottle.
We've seen your dingleberries.
Oh, I love that. I love those Montag boys. Oh, there they are now. Hey, you guys. Hey, you guys.
I'm wearing my invisibility suit.
That's the worst part. You never know when you're there. And all of a sudden, you're jerking off, and you look over there, and a boy appears, and then all of a sudden, oh, I'm a problem? And he's laughing and laughing. He's like, oh, it's funny how you come. It's funny how you come. And I tell him, it's not funny how I come. I'm an adult. I'm a man.
You want to look at it, Selga? I feel like I smell urine and defecation, and I feel pain. I feel like they don't help with it, like there's no return. It's very emotional for me because I feel that Cut this fucking rambling. This lady looks like my fucking aunt. Yeah, she does. Also, she might be smelling and feeling all that because people used it.
Yeah.
That's awesome squatting.
It's horrible. You also miss a lot of that.
It's because wherever he goes, I go. I'm his shadow. And you follow me and I follow you, my sweet, sweet, smart, smart brother.
I'm the dramatic one.
And I go and scoop up another little boy from Montauk. My good old Long Island way.
And there's still TV! What the fuck?
Who had a... Big old moncock.
How did you get this gig?
I would say about official gauge, about a super circa 50. Yeah.
Come on, man.
Yeah, Toys R Us basic. But no, it hits you, man. I would advise you to start cold. Warm's kind of indulgent. Warm's borderline sexual.
That is crazy, though, to leave, I'm presuming, a slightly fucked up household and just spy on them.
Warm water hitting you is like you might as well fap. It's kind of sexual. So start cold. Matt, you couldn't be closer to the truth.
Yeah.
It's also crazy to be like, yeah, we don't need to get the presents. Winnie the Pooh is going to come bring all the presents and decorations.
Yeah, they're just fucking, they're doing something.
They're all right, they figured it out.
So you were dressed as Pooh, just not with the head on yet.
All your clothes are in the house?
Yeah, that's some fucking bullshit, man.

I didn't trust the professional. Oh, my God. Yes, we already riffed. We riffed with things that helped us. Therapy is great because, I mean, dude, after I stopped my whole thing with those amphibians, my social skills were much more positive. I overcame those problems, and I learned how to reach out.

The timing's unbelievable.
It was quiet.
The water does smell a certain way.
It's all good. It's all good.
Yeah, we have the that can work against me, though, because I'm like, yeah, we need to get garlic powder. Did you add it to the grocery list? And I'm like, shut the fuck up. You do the fucking grocery list. I mean, it is a great system.
Well, it's funny to be like, let me do the five.
It's crazy. I'll just take a fiver. Let me feel the warmth of it.
That'd be the move. I'm going to back-to-back three fives.
Just scuba a little bit. Scuba.
oh what is that this is bad news sure that'd be that'd be a bonus but anyway i thought she was i thought she was an angel sent from heaven to do that i've never been at a bachelor party that was uh crazy we went we had one where there was i think i told you about it there was a lady who had just visibly must have just given birth not very long ago oh my god she had like that skin and we were all calling her brain belly
Dude, you go get a lap dance from Brain Belly. But yeah, it was actually... It's not wrong, Brain Belly, but go ahead.
She had an old dog asshole?
My baby didn't have those house skills. It took a while. You had to learn how to use different parts of the iPhone. Notes. The Notes app.
Yeah. That's the crazy thing with OnlyFans and all this stuff. I'm not being puritanical about it, but it doesn't seem to really work well for women psychologically. Like, they fucking crash hard. Yeah.
Female porn stars?
She was like a 90s porn star. Now it's like, I feel like the hard, hardcore stuff back then is like expected now. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know what I mean? Hold on. I think they're doing a little slob bug. Is somebody back there? I think he's breaking up with him.
Break. It was smoking.
Yeah, it was smoking big time. Oh, yeah. Straight through the water.
I thought smoke was good. Oh, shit.
Yeah.
You think he was going to try to get you the bill? He was going to hit you with the bill too? Mm-mm. He didn't have a tab or anything.
I will say that it must've been, I don't know if you did this that night, the fap sesh must've been decent though. Cause it's like, there were two hookers in your room.
We were somewhere out there. If you had, like, a lady naked. We were probably catching it at the same time. You see Stern, you'd be like, fuck this. Yeah. I'm not trying to jerk the Stern.
Get out of here, Stern. You look like a witch.
He's a juhaha.
But yeah, that's the best. Getting like... I mean, Squiggle Vision was the fucking ultimate.
Because I'd like to take a look at this dump. So she's segued teen moms into her OnlyFans. I mean, she's proud.
The cork popping is so underrated. Just a cork pop. I might be a cork pop, but yo, just caught it after the cork pops.
gay pizza yeah i always think i'm like i'm gonna go back there one day and there's gonna be something i wrote a long time ago and i'm gonna go oh my god this is genius and i just look at i'm like i'm a fucking dumbass i'm one of the dumbest most of it repeats seven times i'm like yeah i've written this down five times i still don't know what it is
damn dude just a rogue lady just five she's probably probably like five cappuccinos a day five whipped cream starbucks a day just brewing the two-footer she should have held it up like a fisherman at the end like yeah you might have to take a picture yeah you might have to like a hunter yeah you gotta sit over it with the antlers
Imagine being the guy, get all that bang for your buck, being like, I didn't think it was going to be this amazing. I thought it was going to be like a pathetic girl turd.
I get jealous of those guys who can, like, just have that aspect of your life where you're just constantly scheming on, like, filming a girl taking a dump. That would add such a charge to, like, your whole life.
I know, dude. Oh, no. Turd porn should be the most legal of all.
You should be a PC. My thing is, it's not even sexual. I'm taking a dump. I'd be like, Governor, you're the one getting horny on this.
I just wanted to make sure this lady was healthy and taking a proper dump. This is the last list effort.
Bing will have it. Yeah, I mean, this is... So she, was it like a private video that got leaked?
That's what I'm saying, but it was on the public page? How did this vid get out? I guess you can't keep it to yourself. You tell 12 people you basically told the world. It's true. Show 12 of your butt. I mean, that video, nothing would spread faster than that, though. That's why it spread so. You got it, Sean?
He's kind of smelled it doubting us right now. He's like, I got it right here on my phone.
This is an impressive shit. Hotter than I... Yeah, yeah, I wasn't... Yeah. Is she talking to me?
No, dude, no.
No, no, no.
The first one's not impressive.
Now, here. One foot, two feet. That's like three and a half.
There's no way.
The first single breaks out, yeah. Here's my question I like to ask her. Is there some sort of prep? If you know you've got a big, like, you know, Gardini hit you up. You know you have the big dump.
What's the regimen? Do you, like, hit a bunch of fibers?
Probably super fiber. It's like fiber powder probably for two days knowing they have the big vid coming up.
Blippi. Remember Blippi did that? The Harlem Shake video?
yeah that's all it would be the guy who's the kid's entertainer before he became a child entertainer made it you remember that harlem shake dance everyone would do like bum bum bum bum bum uh he took a video where he was sitting on the toilet it was him on no his friend was on the toilet he just shit all over his friend and then blippy just popped off and everyone was just like whatever my kid likes this show
Yeah, but back then there was no, like, I mean, there was a newspaper, but you didn't think anything would ever get out. Like, if you farted in a hooker's face, there'd be a part of your head being like, this is going to be on BuzzFeed. You would just be like, this is going to make its way. Back then it was just like, I can literally do it.
I don't want to, again, this is speculation. Huge chance that was like a 13-year-old girl. Huge chance. Back in the 50s? What is it, like the 50s?
Nope. Nope, nope, nope, never. Although I have lost some great ones, man. Right before bed, I go, I'll definitely remember that. And I wake up and go, oh, that was so good.
I was just venturing to, like, back then, you could really, those dudes did, like, everything. Like Led Zeppelin, apparently.
The Allman Brothers, bro?
That's crazy. The Almond Eskimo Brothers, dude.
Bold? The Almond Brothers. Oh, true.
I thought you were pointing to bold.
Oh, that's so fucking funny.
Damn, you think the Almond Brothers were laying pipe like that? I don't. You think they were laying pipe? I mean, they're 15-year-olds. It's the 70s. Yeah. Back then, when did you used to be able to get your driver's license?
Shame on you, Allman Brothers.
It would have changed everything.
There's a huge chance the brothers don't even remember it. They're probably sitting somewhere, and I came on, and they're like, huh?
Feeling that one.
Yep. They were partying, bro. Were they rock stars or were they pedophiles?
Hard to say. It's an intense party, though.
Yeah, he was such a legend. When I was growing up... No one was mad.
That was my mall money. That was... When I was little, there was a guy, he carries around a pizza box, and if you give him your underwear, he'll give you 50 bucks, and he'll put them in the pizza box.
I'm 39. I'm 47. I mean, that...
Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
What exactly did you have to do?
Dude, I started smoking weed again in hopes of, like, it'll jar up some new ideas. It's the same thing. I just got, like, confused in the grocery store, and I was just like, this is not... We both had nice groceries.
Same time.
How excited are you when a pedophile is in the house, like a real-life pedophile?
Yeah, it's got to be crazy.
Dude, I was getting let out personally. I got very high and listened to Led Zeppelin in the grocery store, and it was... I mean, Led Zeppelin was way better than I remembered it. I was like, I think I'm over this. I'm almost 40 now. That was stuff when I was a kid. Dude, I was listening to Led Zeppelin, too. I was like, this might be the greatest album of all time.
I see you every day on the train.
I, for real, I am not lying. I was walking towards the cheese aisle of the grocery store. And at one point, they hit the drums. I almost went and kicked. I was playing. Dude, I was up on stage. I almost fucking kicked and signaled the drummer.
Die to the hand of a pedophile?
Helicopter. Over and over again.
You start produce?
Yeah, he should trap it. Leave the man alone. That's really fucked up. They should have a clause. Like, they should amend the law and be like, if you are... You know, an R-rated midge. They should just go. That's up to the parents' discretion.
They can make a remake. Remember Carrie?
You can make a remake. It's a new Carrie. It's his revenge.
That must have been the craziest acid reflux, just getting, like, getting caught as a pedophile and crushing, like, half his arm. And it was the grease cup pepperoni, too. He was folding them, too. He was folding his lips.
What's the problem? They should be like my parents arranged this. I would die if my parents set this up. That wasn't me.
I just walked I do like the outskirts usually then I just started hitting every aisle while I was jamming and then like would be like oh Yeah, I'm gonna need an onion how to go all the way back to the other side get an onion You're gonna need that onion talking things like the things I end up like hoarding because I don't realize we have them you buy too much or a great like
Damn, are they recording him just sit through it and be like, damn.
Just give Chris Hansen a big kiss. Be like, this is all for you.
That's what you do. You walk in and be like, all right, I know I was fucking around. Where's Chris? Is he here?
That way he comes out and be like, oh, I knew you were here.
We should do a million dollars worth of game for pedophiles.
You still catch the guy. We're just kidding. We want to see you guys fight. You're both going to jail.
Dude, I will say, I don't think it's any good, but I just smoked weed all weekend being like, I got to come up with something funny. And then I actually went to a gala last weekend. It was Brittany planned it months and months ago. And I got very high and went to that. And it was... The only thing I keep... People are talking about school.
Turn around. Yeah, you lose all control. If you're like, yes, sir. You spun around.
Like, yeah, I started school in September, but I was, like, held back because I wanted to be the older person in the class. And I got... These are adults saying this? Yeah, we were just talking about, like, getting, like, if you got held back. And I was, like, I just, like, muttered to Brittany. I was, like, I got held back in the fourth grade because my dick was too big. I laughed for 30 minutes.
Like, what do you think he thinks? That's a good question.
Yeah. He might get amused like a Roman senator would.
That's such a funny move.
What happened? Did he get naked?
She's like, why would you get held back if your dick's too big? What's a gala? I was like, dude, you're ruining it. Dude, it's just funny. I got held back too. Why? Because of my dick too big. Yeah. What's a gala? It's just a thing where you get dressed up and then they just make people, they like ask people for money basically.
So it was like a domestic violence thing, and then they had cowboys come out and be like... Those guys, the auctioneer guys?
You remember those?
It starts at like two. That's the move to raise your hand for the very first.
Yeah.
with an adult man you don't know coach sark well there'll be like a 32 person trip to orlando just like just do what they did on it it was actually kind of it's kind of sick so they had this trip they had the bid up to 15 000 bucks and they had four people and they went you you you you all get it right away and they all had to get one for 15 grand i was like oh that hurts yeah It was exciting.
The cowboy bitters were exciting. It was nice. That was fun. Yeah.
Oh, I told Brittany. I said, bro, not a motherfucking thing.
I told her before we went in, and three times I saw her elbow move, and I said, I will fucking storm out. I want that.
i will it's just like we could have that it is it's kind of a girl trap because it's like they pop shit you know confetti on you and it's like you know the pricing makes no sense it's perfect for them yeah like thirty thousand dollars yes it's like you know i i was what are the objects the objects they were like pretty intense vacations and they will be like the sleeps like 18 people so i guess you could try to get people in on it but just it was vacations um what else was it
It was like trips. There was a quail hunting trip or dove hunting trip in South Africa. You could go shoot birds in South Africa.
It does start every time, no matter what. I go, ooh. When it first gets me, I jump a little and go, ooh.
Yeah. What did I say?
It was more the elders. The older people were snagging all these crazy things.
Yeah, they were definitely hitting them up. But it was the – I will say Gala Energy, a lot of the dudes there –
it like struck me as like guys who are like expecting blowjobs at any minute just like the face they were they're sitting there like like they knew they're getting their dick sucked that night yeah everyone's dressed up exactly your penis is gonna be in a mouth it was a lot of pre-head energy that was the one thing and it was you know it's not good nor bad i was just saying like fuck man
I mean, if you.
Prostitutes. Yes, pretty much. And if you can get like, you know, if you get women in a dress, that is step one. Yeah. This is fancy. Yeah. That is kind of step one to kind of possibly getting hit. It's Valentine's Day.
Do you guys ever get caught in sex traffic? I don't know. If it were a bumper-to-bumper, that would be sex traffic.
Are you sure you weren't trying to hog being like, this guy's not going to be in here. You should actually just pull over.
Your internet is racist.
There were like more than 50 comments about different tag team names. He only chose the one which were less offensive to him. They were like, the comments were flooded.
Now, to your point, there was a video going around, a couple of videos where they were talking about a technology that would affect people's moods and behaviors depending on what wavelength of light they're more exposed to.
And most of it is found in all the screens that we use.
It affects your mood and behavior and takes you away from the natural progression.
The original interview on the redacted YouTube channel is 40 minutes.
The guy who's being interviewed? It doesn't say in the description. It's kind of weird. I'll look it up.
Eric J. Hecker, yeah.
That's right. I mean, it's kind of weird, but it's discussed in different religions.
The firmament.
Already in our end.
Yeah.
That's what I was going to say. It's discussed in Quran as well.
I don't know the details, but it's been mentioned.
Yeah.
Keith and I have been having discussions about it lately.
No, no, no, no, no. We've been talking about the similarities between Christianity and Islam, and there's a lot of coinciding points.
I mean, if you look at it from the perspective, like you always talk about ten thousand foot perspective, it's all basically the same values. And my personal my personal take is it's a game of telephone that what happened.
Yeah. I was seeing one of the videos that defined that perspective very clearly. Like you, your coworker will call you something else. Your wife would call you something else. Your dad would call you something else.
So different people observing you from different points of views have different versions of you. I think that's what happened.
Which one is more gross, this or the chicken burger with the feet?
That could really happen because before the show, we were randomly talking about bite forces of different animals.
No, not the most, but pretty high. So for an average human, it's 160 pounds square inch PSI.
And an average car tire, it's like, what, 50, 40, whatever.
For a gorilla, it's 1,300.
Grizzly bear bite force is 1,160. And what's a gorilla? Gorilla is 1,300. Gorilla got all day. I don't think so, bro.
So a grizzly bear average male is three and a half feet between 400 to 700 pounds.
Yeah, it says so. Online average. 400 to 700 pounds.
Yeah.
No.
The worst one you got is still okay.
This is what y'all niggas got mad at right now. That's what we did. All right, that's cool. That's fine. No, that's fine. That's fine.
I don't know that I'm allowed to comment on that.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck, man.
I think it's working.
Sleepin' on the floor, now my jewelry box froze Fuck a bowl, fuck a stove, counted millions in the cold Bad bitch, booty swole, got her on bankroll Can't fold, that's a no, headshot, case closed
Finally?
Yeah.
Dude, here's the thing, too.
That's the clip.
Why is that so funny? Did he say grape?
Yeah.
Yeah, you fucking sent me that. I'm pretty sure you sent me that.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you sent me that. Oh, man.
And Mr. Chair, I must say that I have seen so many different people on social media rather excited about these cuts, rather excited about these job losses. And that reminds me of a quote from a long time ago that said, at first they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
And then when they came for me, there was no one to speak up because everyone had been taken. And so I think what's very interesting is that these job cuts and these cuts are not just impacting people with federal jobs, but all across the board, people are going to be feeling the hurt. And we have to make sure we're doing what we can within the power that we have.
Rip it out. Yeah, listen, man. I... I...
Right.
Yeah.
Why banks are flying gold bars on commercial flights from London to New York city.
I...
Old habits die hard, man.
Hey, guys. Please give me more money. Yeah.
It just means like Canadian.
Yeah. Canuck. Meaning Canadian.
Moose, whatever they call it, Moose Knuckles? What is that?
That scared the shit out of me. But yeah, man, he got hitting the balls, man.
It's not up. Obviously, you see, he knows where the net is, but what he doesn't know is that the official is standing right there in the line of fire, and that is not something you want to see anyone.
I'll tell you what, he just got a great, great round of applause from the crowd here at Delta Center. If he didn't puke, it didn't hit him that hard.
All right, man. Thumbs up on that.
On the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a bowl. Fuck a stole. Counted millions in a cold. Bad bitch. Booty swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. That's a no. Headshot. Case closed.
Your computer is racist.
I mean, look, man, you know. Number one, Caroline.
It still has to be done.
Well, hold on. Do- Listen, here's the problem.
Well, In history, what it's meant almost every single time this has happened is death, destruction, and war. So these people haven't, there has been no indication since 1913 that these people have any willingness to step aside.
No, I don't know. I mean, we got Google right there in front of your face. The reference to Psalm 88. Let me see. Yeah, it also represents renewed hope.
Um, I don't know. Um, it's, it's,
And saying, I gave my cousin head? Yeah. That's the song? Yeah. Okay.
There's freedom in knowing that other people have been through similar things.
Bro.
Get the fuck out of here. She took a dive. Bro, that was some bullshit. That was it. That's it? That was it. That was it.
Knox County, Tennessee. Yeah, in Tennessee.
He's the mayor of Knox. He's seven foot tall. Seven feet tall, weight is 323 pounds.
Good lord.
I think he's 7'1", but I'll look it up.
7' exactly.
No.
me to know or have an opinion because we've been lied to about so much it's hard to
And the more I observe this, the more the conclusion is for me that this really is like,
I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. Yes, but if you are not strong... Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
You should be thanking the President for trying to bring it into this conflict.
I have actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?
And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?
Let's do it.
Have you said thank you once? A lot of times.
You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
Why we do that?
It reports lunar gravity, and it is stable.
Bro, we got our own problems, man.
This shit is unnerving, and it's not cool, and I'll tell you what else. I was on hold with 911 for 59 minutes. 59 minutes. And luckily, it's just a home burglary. It wasn't somebody dying, choking, that was shot or something. But what happens if it was a real time emergency? Luckily, the police when they did show up, came, they were very nice. But they mentioned how undermanned they are.
And that's a problem. We'll get over this. It's going to get boarded up. My son's a little unnerved. My wife, I am. We're all unnerved. But this is a problem. This is a real problem. So I'm going to get into more depth on this, but goddamn.
We've been up in planes. What does it look like? You've seen what I've seen.
I can't say they're all redresses. I don't know the neighborhood.
Next to 7-Eleven. Take the shake and then go to the Slurpee.
Drive, we ain't going there. I did try the fries on March 1st when they said it'll be nationwide. It did taste a little better.
How so?
Oh, because I did 75 horn, you know, mental discipline.
Good.
Yeah, right. New white people, come again.
I would say it did leave a little bit of aftertaste. Really? Yeah. That you would not find with regular fries.
Yes. So, so that's how I figured out it was beef tallow. It was fat. It was different. It was, yeah, it was fatty. Yeah. But it tasted good.
That's real diversity right there.
That's right. I concur.
Yes.
Mashed potatoes. Funny thing, the place where I come from in India, there has to be one meal in the day that is potato. It's like the labor food or whatever it is. It has to be potatoes.
Yeah, straight to jail.
You can do so much with potatoes.
There are several curry dishes that we make with potatoes. Several of those.
Yeah, so you haven't... I don't think I've ever had a curry dish.
It's just spice. It's not hot. It's not spicy. It's just spice.
No, no. Those are like some bad stuff.
Hmm.
I feel like, I don't know.
Yep.
What? Huh?
Is that it? Yep.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's fucking Hitler.
It's sick. It's sick, man. Yeah, well, have a good flight. Good trip.
Alright, who's going to pick up the turtle? This caddy is... Oh no. Oh my god. Oh no.
So everybody was making paper airplanes here.
No, it's a crane.
But I thought making a plane would be too stereotypical.
Yeah, exactly. So I opted for something different.
Yeah, right.
Okay, well, that's beautiful. I had two water bottles here. I moved one just to be safer. Yeah, so you didn't draw any... Yeah.
No conspiracies here.
100%.
Oh, yes. Get back to it. Things quickly take a turn when a demonic Portland abortionist assaults a pro-life Christian.
Any day now, it's going to happen. We're going to have the first death on a helicopter of a woman being moved to Oregon for an abortion. Are you cool with that?
No, that's very sad. What percentage is it of those women?
What fucking percentage? All of them. That's the only way they can get abortions is by coming here.
Every woman that's getting an abortion is due to medical procedures?
No, most abortions are.
No, they're not.
One abortion was of a dead embryo.
Okay, sorry to hear that.
That's most abortions.
That's not most abortions.
Yes, it is.
Have you looked at statistics?
Most abortions are cleanups after miscarriages.
No, it's less than 1.7%.
No, you're a fucking moron. You don't know the statistics. Miscarriages are extremely common, and most women ought to have... Miscarriages and abortion are different.
What is abortion?
No, a miscarriage is a medical abortion.
No, no, it's not. Okay, let me educate you, okay? Yes, it is. Hold on, hold on. Hey, get back. Hey, hey. Hey, that's not okay. Don't put your hand... Hey, get back. Stop.
Oh, man. Let's fucking look it up here.
And to your point, this video on social media has about 1,700 comments, and most of them are talking about how she should have never done that in front of the kid and how poor the effect is going to be on the kid.
Mm-hmm.
I think people know. Your passion is pretty indicative. Brother, that was not me.
He was very famous worldwide too. What? He was very famous worldwide. Oh, in India? I knew of him way before I came to America and stuff like that.
Well, you spend money, you do good stuff.
No. That's so white and racist of you.
Mm-hmm.
He's glistening with piss. How is this real? God.
Do it. Do it. No way. It was just piss. No. Do it. Do it.
You can't put $50 million in a small briefcase.
Yeah.
By my course.
It was actually $20,000. You were giving it a deal.
If you don't buy it, you're an idiot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right. Got a brand new segment, guys. What's it called? 90 Seconds of Liberal Insanity. Oh, okay. All right. Let's check it out. We have to f*** Trump. Please don't tell my children that I just did that. You get your mustard hands off of our money or go to Mouse Town.
You mustard moo-moo-moo. They're trying to rob you. And they're probably a minor. I'm shaking right now. I don't want to be here. I'm sorry. Am I taking too long pleading for my life? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? You should see how afraid of Trump I am.
Can you wrap up, please?
Yes.
Department of Government Efficiency. You just remember, it is the Department of Government Evil. What is the problem with those? What is the problem with those?
I speak as both the B and the T in the LGBT.
Earlier, the subcommittee headed by Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, overseas, to people who should not have gotten it. Some of this room might have missed that press conference. Can you elaborate on what the president is thinking at this point?
Well, again, that's another example. There's a very long list of the fraud, waste and abuse that Doge is identifying on a daily basis. Elon Musk also talked about yesterday about Social Security payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with us. Unfortunately, I would say that is certainly fraud. There's also a lot of contracts they've
identified that just as a hypothetical example are a million bucks but only 500 000 went out the door so where's the rest of that cash um and so that's the thing those are the things that doge is working on every single day and i would just remind everybody in this room this is what president trump campaigned on doing he's delivering on a promise that 70 70 million people want it bro did you see the search results for
I do not want to be in your email inboxes. I do not want my creativity writing diss tracks like Kendrick. Normally I would say good evening, but through the chair I will only impart my sour grapes.
Yeah.
Yep.
I got a DHS letter in the mail this morning and I just now opened it. And somebody reported me to the state of Michigan because I'm making money on TikTok and I drive a 2024 BMW. They have cut my food stamps from almost $4,000 a month down to $88 a month. They are telling me if I want a review that I have to sell my car.
You have no other choice but to get violent and fight.
So you're telling me if you were on welfare, food stamps, cash assistance, Section 8, you can't drive a nice car? They are forcing me to sell my brand new BMW or I lose almost $4,000 in food stamps. Not only that, they have taken my cash assistance totally away. They are telling me that Section 8 will no longer be paying 95% of my rent, only 10% of my rent.
Come on, hold your face up. Look at him. Let him see you. This is him. Look at him. What's your name? Which side are you on? We'll fight against George. We'll fight. We will win. We will win. We have to f*** Trump.
So I will have to pay a little over $400 a month now instead of $60 a month.
Wow, it looks like the doge got you too, boo.
Please don't tell my children.
Oh, man. How about this? I don't even have anything.
to everybody that's not part of their gang.
Mr. President, Doge workers arrived today. Gavin Klager and others arrived today at the IRS. Do you expect to close the IRS or what are you expecting?
No, I don't expect it, but I think that the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else. Just about everybody's going to be looked at. They're doing a hell of a job. It's an amazing job they're doing. And, you know, that force is building these, I call it the force of super geniuses, but it's building.
And, you know, they go up and they talk to some of the people about certain deals and the people get all tongue tied. They can't talk because these people get it. They're very smart people. We need smart people.
Brand new segment, guys. Let us know down in the comments. That's a good way to start the show.
Damn it. I missed Q. You got to cue me in on that.
Is that racist?
Oh, fuck. All right, Liz. All right.
It's hot out there.
They got maple syrup.
All right.
Yeah.
That's old to you. I mean, he's my ancient. How old are you? All right, we got a bunch of adults here.
Yeah.
Well, I would say this, and I'm going to let that because that's Israel's decision. But as far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by. Saturday at 12 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out.
I'd say they ought to be returned by 12 o'clock on Saturday, and if they're not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two. Saturday at 12 o'clock, and after that, I would say... All hell is going to break out.
Right.
Yeah. I mean, who really wants California?
You're thinking of California. Yeah, that's right.
He's our White House press secretary. All right.
Good. Very orange, but good.
I got that clip passed. But yeah, this is Trump's response on BRICS.
was put there for a bad purpose. And most of those people, they don't even want to talk about it now. They're afraid to talk about it because I told them if they want to play games with the dollar, then they're going to be hit with a 100% tariff the day they mentioned that they want to do it. And they will come back and say, we beg you, we beg you not to do this.
Rich is dead since I mentioned that. Briggs died the minute I mentioned that. And I know, I remember when Obama and Biden in particular, I guess he said that, oh, they have us over a barrel. They don't have us over a barrel. We have them over a barrel. If BRICS wants to play games, those countries won't trade with us. We won't trade with them.
And if any trading gets through, it'll be 100% tariff at least.
You know what?
When they hear that, what do you think they're going to do? They're going to say, look what happened to BRICS. They didn't want to talk about it. They don't even want to admit that they were a member of BRICS. That's what's happened.
Fuck.
Could you understand? Say, could you understand?
Nope.
Borrowing an expression from America, our vision for a developed India is to make India great again or mega. Yeah. When America and India work together, that is, when MAGA, when it's MAGA plus MEGA, it becomes MEGA. A MEGA partnership.
We're going to have some megas in this motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? We can all get along. Bro, they should let me come translate that shit, bro. I'll fucking kill it.
He's a very competent leader.
Oh, yeah. And India doesn't have the rule that America has that you can only have two term limits for a president. I think he has been the prime minister for the last 12 years or so.
People like him with a big majority. And he's pretty funny, too.
Okay.
And I believe deeply that that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people. Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making. If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you.
Nor for that matter is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump. You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value in the coming years. Have we learned nothing that thin mandates produce unstable results?
But there is so much of value that can be accomplished with the kind of democratic mandate that I think will come from being more responsive to the voices of your citizens. If you're going to enjoy competitive economies, if you're going to enjoy affordable energy and secure supply chains, Then you need mandates to govern because you have to make difficult choices to enjoy all of these things.
And of course, we know that very well in America. You cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail, whether that's the leader of the opposition, a humble Christian praying in her own home, or a journalist trying to report the news. Nor can you win one by disregarding your basic electorate on questions like who gets to be a part of our shared society.
Before you comment anything on that, I just want to point out to your earlier point how coherent, well put, such a nice gentleman image, his not stuttering, not making stupid word puzzles, presents such a nice image of America to everybody else.
No shit.
One of the things I used to be really getting pissed at was when my friends back home used to make fun of America as a whole because of Joe Biden and Kamala.
They think everybody in America is like that because our leaders represent us. Of course. So when this happens, it makes me happy as a naturalized citizen to that we are representing a strong image of the country, and you're not speaking like a second grader.
Please let us steal your shit, please. Don't say anything or you're racist.
And apparently Trump can't either.
We should start a real AF translation of all these speeches. Easier to understand.
They probably saw your post and copied it.
That right there.
I swear to God.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Speeding, not a real crime. Oh, you're not here legally? How long have you been here?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
Let's get a real arrest at this time.
Get your juicy booty ass on the ground.
Two kids.
And this should have been done by Biden years ago. This should have never been allowed to happen. I know he's a friend of yours.
Yeah, man.
He's a friend of CNN.
That's why nobody watches CNN anymore, because they have no no credibility. OK, who else?
Hello, Satan. Julia Caesar, Queen Cleopatra, Vincent Van Gogh, Queen Elizabeth I, Abraham, And I'm gonna see my man Until I get satisfied See, see, you don't see why And you don't hear a heart
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's cool.
Right.
Right.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love that. I love it, man. Guys, Andy, question number two. Andy, I have a strong business mindset, and customers and people in general everywhere tend to like me and trust me. I know I'd be excellent at owning a biz. You and everybody else, brother. That being said, there are a trillion different business ideas that could make make money nowadays. Literally a trillion.
I don't have a tremendous passion for anything in particular. So how does someone that is experiencing analysis paralysis settle for one opportunity and stay determined to make money at all? How do you know you didn't choose the wrong opportunity when the biz gets turbulent and bail on it? I try not to be a hoe, but hey, old habits die hard.
I love it. Now, you started when you were 19. Yeah. What were some of the other, I guess, pathways you tried before you started with S2?
What's going on, man?
Yeah?
Had I stuck with it, right. Yeah, 400%, man. I love it, man. Well, guys, let's get to our third and final question, Mr. Andy. Guys, Andy, question number three. Hey, Andy. Hey, Andy. So full disclosure, I'm not an entrepreneur. I mainly listen to you for the other good stuff on Tuesdays and Fridays, week to week. But my best friend is, and he listens to the show as well.
He has been in business for like four years now, making beautiful, amazing woodwork. I mean, like seriously amazing stuff. Dining tables that he sells for like $15,000. Really dope shit, and he is crushing it. Here's the thing. The dude does it all. From the production, wood procurement, marketing, sales, inventory, concept, design, like a thousand hats.
We have been talking more recently about him hiring employees. I see how hard he works, runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. And I tell him all the time, bro, you need help. You're going to need help. Many hands lighten the load, etc. But he stands firm and says, I'm good. Don't need him because he is being a pussy. And I know he wouldn't ask.
Can you talk some sense into him for the love of our dear Lord and Savior? All jokes aside, I don't want to lose my best friend from a heart attack because he thinks he doesn't need the help. Much love from Detroit.
A little misinformation. Yeah, a little April Fools, you know what I'm saying? Shit, it is April Fools. Is it? It will be.
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, guys, the selection will be based off your questions. So ask some good questions. It can be about anything. Life, business, personal development, winning. All of those things.
Stay tuned for that.
Anyhow, we do have a show for today. We do have a good show, man, and I do got some good ones for you. I'm not surprised. Let's make some people better today. Guys, Andy, question number one. Hey, Andy. Hi. So I came to follow you a little over a year ago. And dude, seriously, thank you. I am 25 years young, but I'm not doing a finding myself in a van thing.
However, I am committed to just becoming the version of myself I know that I can become. But here's the thing. I second guess every decision I make. Even when my gut tells me something, I doubt myself and overanalyze. I want to be able to trust myself and my instincts instead of always looking to others for some sort of reassurance.
I know you consistently speak on the importance of building and having self-confidence, but I guess specifically, how do I build that confidence in my own judgment?
I love it. I mean, it sounds like a lot of this is just being able to go through the time to build that perspective.
you know that's decision making for sure last little piece on this i want to ask you very like very simple question here you know when it comes down to decision making i guess what's one thing if there's an equation to decision making right the perfect equation what's one thing that is not in that equation usually emotions okay let's talk about it look there are certain ways
We'll see you next time.
Just change a couple of names in there, a couple of words. That's how it works, bro.
Yeah, that's real shit. I want to dive a little bit more deeper into this concept you brought up about just differentiating what is an actual distraction and what's life and what's just something that will benefit you.
Yeah.
A friend group.
A friend group. I guess my question was, it's like, you know, Cause I feel like there's a fine line here. You got to be careful with of like, okay, like I got my five things done, but I could also be doing stuff in the off time that will wipe out all of that progress of those five things.
So I think like, I guess what I'm asking is like, does this really come down to, to like the discipline level you have as a person going on this, this journey?
Oh, man.
Andy, I had a falling out with a close friend two years ago, and while I've tried to move on, I still find myself feeling hurt and angry when I think about what happened. I know holding on to these feelings isn't healthy, but I don't know how to let go and truly forgive. How can I release resentment and find peace? With 2025 here now, I want to get through this.
How do you really let go of those anchors you had to let go? You just have to value yourself more than that.
Hurting a little bit. But yeah, you've been training again. Been training back on the wagon. Yeah, what's up with that? Oh, you know, I mean, real talk.
Yeah.
Real talk. I mean. Tired of getting made fun of? That's one. Yeah. Yeah, Madat's not very nice. And the internet? Internet's fine. Yeah. Because I just talk shit back to them. There's not much I can do with Madat.
Feel good.
Well, no, man. Honestly, like really what it was, I just know that like this year, bro, we got a lot of shit going on this year. A lot of shit to really like, you know, build and grow and develop. And so it's like I got to be at my best.
It's just real shit. You know what I'm saying? And so it's like, you know, I know I've been dibbling and dabbling here and there, but I'm doing good, man. Killed legs today.
Yeah. Is it safe to say you wouldn't be where you at if you didn't use that negative energy?
It's rare now, but it happens still.
That's right.
Crushed it and, you know. Keeping it moving.
Yeah, you know shit man. That's real Guys any question number three. Let's get our final question here Andy. I got a business question for you Question number three Andy. I'm four years into my business and I do landscaping from design to build outs to maintenance. I have 12 employees and we are doing really well. I've been able to pivot during the off seasons to keep my guys paid and working.
Now we are getting back into the work with spring around the corner. And my question is about reinvesting into the company as the owner. Where do owners mess up with this concept and what's the right way to go about it? Reinvest in the business. How do you do it?
That'd be nice.
I haven't been asked. I like that drop.
Yeah.
Yeah. Can we talk about some real numbers here? Like for you, what did that look like for you early on in business? How long did you go before you took anything out?
Yeah.
You're 30 by this time, right? That would make you 30. Okay. So there's a lot of there. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I can fit in it now. No, man, yeah. No, it's going good, though, man. How you doing?
So this is an important distinction. You were taking home the $795,000. That wasn't what you were taking home because that's all you could. Correct. You're saying you could have taken more.
Correct, correct, correct.
That's real shit, man. You got a bum of a boyfriend. Yeah. Same for boyfriends. Yeah. Get them out of there. Yeah. Get them out of there, boo-boo.
I love it, man. Guys.
The first way is, guys, email these questions in to askandy at andyfrasella.com.
I know there's a lot of people hungry for it.
Let's make some people better today. Let's do it, guys. Andy, I got three good ones for you. So let's knock these out. Guys, any question? Number one, Andy, I appreciate all you do. I know you have probably heard that a thousand times by now, but I really do. I found your content like a year and a half ago, and it's amazing. I have a question for you about distractions.
I'm 24, just finished up law school. I have no idea how, but nevertheless, I'm entering the real world and I feel like everything around me is nothing but distractions. How did you handle and view distractions early on in life versus how you handle and view them now? distractions. I mean, we just talked about having a lot of shit going on, a lot of noise out there.
It's bad for you. Well, people think it's everybody else is going to take your confidence away. Bro, no, it's you. It's you, bro.
Andy, you described a few times, you know, about like, you know, imagine you're driving the Titanic, right? You kind of like, as the owner operator, you kind of have to like look out and see when the icebergs are and navigate the boat, right? What would you say was one of those moments where you had to make that pivot early on in business?
What was one of those first icebergs you kind of saw and had to readjust and you were able to readjust because you were smaller?
That reminds me in college, one of our offensive coordinator, he was like doing a film study with us one time. And he put out the questions like, what makes the quarterback the best quarterback?
I love it, guys. And question number two. Andy, I own a commercial cleaning company here in Arizona and now have some of the biggest names in the state as clients. But last year when I was trying to land bigger clients, I had the opportunity to clean one of the biggest names and brands in the states and I fucked up the job.
But I now have employees, top of the line equipment and confidence to do any job. So at the start of quarter two, I sent in a handwritten message with a nice bottle of tequila, apologizing and asking for another opportunity to work together. But I got no response. Any advice on how I can restore that relationship, business relationships? Are they salvageable? How do you do it? Yeah.
First of all, they're salvageable.
I was gonna ask it like, is there a point where like, okay, tequila didn't work, that didn't work. I mean, do you give up at all? You kind of answered that. No, no. You just keep going.
All right I don't want to miss this nugget here cuz I feel like this is also important you're talking about when you over deliver that and I feel like when you do that, you're also setting a new standard. So how important is it to make sure that you don't just do really good that one fucking time?
That's a short straw.
Yeah, don't just do it once and like, all right, we got it.
Yeah, fucking man. Jeez, I love it. That's it, question number three. Let's get third and final question. Guys, any question number three? Hey, Andy and DJ, huge fan of the podcast. And I've been following you in first form for a while now. A big fan of the work you're doing. I read your books every year. I love to take some time to reflect on past year and set goals for the year ahead.
I find this practice really helps me stay focused and motivated. But I'd love to hear your take on it. Do you have any specific strategies or practices you follow when setting goals for the upcoming year? And what's your process for reflecting on the year that's passed and planning for what's next? Thanks for your time.
Really appreciate everything you do and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
what's up what's going on my man nothing dude yeah what's up with you oh not much i appreciate the uh compliment of the beard yeah beard looks good bro it's a process who did that did you do that i do it yeah bro it is a thing it's a process like you can mess it up real bad real easy super easy and like it's it's always sucks because like my hair even when you know i had hair up here yeah it's not the same like it's two different textures you know i'm saying this is i don't know what this is well my fucking beard ain't the same as my hair up there either
But like, even my, my, my, uh, your downstairs hair downstairs is like downstairs carpet. Don't match the upstairs car. You know what I'm saying?
It's kind of in between. Actually.
No, it's a process, though, man. You got to shampoo, condition, and then I blow mine out.
My beard.
Yeah, the beard's a process. Downstairs, it's like the Amazon forest down there.
Is that what it is? Yeah. I do trim mine now. It's an optical illusion. Everybody knows that. You want to hear my Nair story? No, because I got one, too, bro.
Bro, it was so bad. It was so bad. Oh, man.
And it smells bad. Dude, I had another. You can't get the smell. The smell doesn't go away for days. No, you know what the worst pain is? So in the police academy, you got to go through OC's training, right? Yeah. And you get sprayed. They don't tell you exactly when it is. You just know it's coming up, right? Yeah. And I had, uh, you know, I used to shave down there. Yeah. Like baby fresh. Yeah.
Okay. And I just shaved, I think the day before. And so come in and like, all right guys, it's OC day. I'm like, okay, it's on another, you know, do the spray. It's fine. You go take a shower, take a shower at all. Yeah. Goes down.
Probably. I mean, it's like childbirth. I would imagine it'd be comparable. Yeah.
First way is you still submit them the same. Guys, email these questions in to askandy at andyfrasella.com. Good job. Thanks.
But anyway.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Well, that's the lesson of the day, guys.
you guys tomorrow if you're still here let's get better yeah let's get better lesson number one don't put any red hot on your nuts yeah no no no don't touch your eyeballs on the shopping bags yeah no all right man i'm down man all right well i got three good ones for you you do let's knock them out all right guys how does anyone listen to anything i say after that man this guy's laying down some knowledge
I guarantee you Google searches for Red Hot goes through the roof right now. All right. Let's get better, man. Guys, Andy, question number one. Andy. I'm a 25-year-old business owner just getting started. And I have a lot of people wanting to give me advice and help me in any way possible, from friends to family to business owners. A popular topic always gets brought up, and it's this.
Stay as small as you can for as long as you can. I listen to what they have to say, but I don't agree with that statement at all. My goals are much larger than to stay small forever. I want to grow, expand and employ people because I believe in myself to take this time and make it really successful for not only me, but other people who want a career in this sector.
That statement lingers in my head over and over. A few close friends of mine have said it. The bigger you are, the more headaches. What's your thoughts on all of this? How do you what is the proper advice here?
26.
How do you balance though with having a bigger vision? So you say you don't want to overthink yourself into being paralyzed, but let's say somebody has a big vision and they don't want to overthink. So how do they balance with what you're saying?
Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
a guy that, you know, is a little bit more professionally driven, would you give him the same advice?
Yeah. No, I do. I, I might like, they're very flexible and I'll take off and kind of whatever, go remote off the mountain, but it is. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are saying the same thing. It's clear that that's kind of the next step for me.
It's a great way to put it.
Awesome. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate it.
And hey, I... No, it's terrible. Um... I've met a handful of your first forum crew. They're awesome, by the way. So I just wanted to shout out to them.
All right. Yeah, it is. It will be definitely, but I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you.
on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a bowl, fuck a stole. Counted millions in a cold. Bad bitch, booted swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold, that's a no. Headshot, case closed.
All right.
Yeah.
Let me ask you this, because with S2, you went from the one store to like six stores, right? And so that's new employees, new people you've never worked with.
We went from two to six. Two to six stores, right? And you didn't personally hire those employees. No. They came in, right? So let me ask you this. When it comes to this scaling, because that was a big scale growth for you, how important is it to make sure that you have a good foundation culture in place?
Because if this guy's scaling, he's about to get new people in, how important is it to set it then? Did you set it then?
It's toxic.
Yeah. I know you said like this definitely probably could be like a fucking two week course or talk just on this. Can we dispel a quick myth, though, about culture? Is there a number of employees required to have a culture set?
I love it, man. Guys, Andy, let's get to our third and final question. Got a young gun here. He's 20 years old. Hey, so I'm 20 years old and I've been hustling hard for almost a year and a half. I finished 75 hard this spring and it really benefited my life. So thank you kindly for creating it. Recently, I've been working almost nonstop.
And as could be expected, I am lucky if I get six hours of sleep in a night. One night I was heading home late after a networking event and fell asleep behind the wheel. I told him my vehicle and thankfully nobody was seriously injured or killed. I am now stuck in a paradox where I both need more money and also need to dial things back a bit.
I've seen other people's lives completely derail after this type of situation because they stop caring about making progress. What are your suggestions to ensure that I stay on track as I continue to make progress?
A little bit? It's fucking taking forever. Yeah. What do you think it was? Like, was it just, like, weather? Or, like... Bio-weapons from... From fucking chemtrails?
One thing I want to add on this too or bring in, man, is you're 20 and you think you're having a hard time. Just wait until you're 21. Wait until you're 25. The bad things are always going to happen. It's how you choose to look at them. I feel like there's a false expectation.
It is an art form, though. The whole, like, even the speaking thing. The what? Like, just speaking in general, it's an art form, man.
You see what I'm saying? I fucking love it. Making chocolate chip cookies.
Love it, man.
Guys, Andy, let's get our Monday started, man. All right, guys. See you tomorrow. CTI.
I love it.
Yeah, because I've seen you speak and I don't think I've ever seen a speech or a talk you've given that was like planned and rehearsed. I don't prep anything. You just know I got to fucking fix some shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah. That shit's contagious too, bro. I love it.
Guys, Andy, question number one. Hey, Andy. I own a landscape business, and in the off season, we install Christmas lights. These are not your average Christmas lights bought from a big box store. We use professional grade products and hold a certification in installing these lights. My question is, other installers in our area are pricing the install so cheap, it's hard to be competitive.
This is a luxury service that isn't for everyone, but other companies are so cheap. I can't even cover my supplies for what they are charging. I refuse to lower my prices and I feel like my work shows my worth. Do you have any recommendations? This is very frustrating to me as I take pride in my work. What's your thoughts on this?
Yeah. I want to ask you this because this is actually something I've always wondered, and I feel like most people see this in action, like on the consumer side of things. We see this right where, you know, the big box store is able to charge less for a product of similar quality than the smaller mom and pop shops. What's happening there?
Is that more of a relationship thing that maybe that's something why they can charge cheaper because they have a better relationship with the buyers? I mean, yeah.
I'm really kicking ass.
I love it, man. I love it. Guys, Andy, question number two. Andy, what was the most important thing you learned when you started scaling S2? I'm about to put my company in a new phase of growth, and I'm seeing that a few of my key people who I thought were my guys, they just can't handle the adjustment and new workload. Did you have this issue? And if so, how did you handle it?
I love these guys, and I wouldn't be here without them.
Yeah, I love it, man.
I love it, man.
But yeah, man, it's, um, I don't know.
I feel like he went to one of the parkways or something. Or Howells. Hazelwood Central. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they should tell us in the comments what the tag team name is.
I'm scared.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
You know, I don't know, dude. I know this.
So Pride Puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum. That's no longer in the curriculum.
That's the one where they are supposed to look for the leather and things and bondage, things like that.
It's not bondage.
It's a woman in a leather... It's a sex worker, right?
No. No? That's not correct. No.
Gosh, I read it.
It's a drag queen and a drag queen. Drag queen and drag queen. Correct. The leather that they're pointing to is a woman in a leather jacket. And one of the words is drag queen.
And they're supposed to look for those.
It is an option at the end of the book, correct?
Yeah, okay.
You think so?
What are you laughing at?
We work mostly in Chimney Rock, some down in Bat Cave.
These volunteers are members of the Great Needs Trust, an Amish community in Pennsylvania offering not just their skilled hands and their time, but their compassion as well. We wanted to help the people that had the disaster. Yeah, our heart just felt drawn to come help. Since the storm, more than 2,000 volunteers have stepped in to help rebuild. And donations have poured in.
Kindness from strangers, helping their neighbors.
All of the building material that's going into rebuilding these stores has been donated up to this point and it's just been a tremendous recovery story that is ongoing.
They are not just fixing buildings in Chimney Rock. They are rebuilding a sense of community. One nail at a time. It's just inspiring to me to see how people can pull together and work together and get something done.
It just fills my heart with joy just watching people just get their life back again.
There's still plenty of work ahead, but for Chimney Rock, recovery is clearly in motion.
No, listen.
Hey, everybody. Doris Burke here in Las Vegas. I am so psyched to be on the call for the debut. Turn it off.
There's a town up there. Fuck, I don't remember what it was. It was like called like fornication or something.
Jumbalaya. That'd be my name, Jumbalaya.
I mean, how about raising awareness for that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's no crowd.
Maybe not.
Capitalism baby.
Yeah.
I set you up, baby.
The Elon one? The one Elon shared?
Yeah.
Is that what bow wow in it? Will Ferrell, Snoop Dogg's in it. Oh. Nope. All right, I'm going to head out.
That's exactly right.
It lasted for a long time, over an hour this morning. I also had with President Zelensky a very good call after that. And I think we're on the way to getting peace.
Anyway, a whole lot of people.
Sponsored by Democratic State Representatives Anita Somani and OBGYN from Dublin and Tristan Rader of Lakewood.
The whole entire point of this bill is to call out the hypocrisy of particularly the state legislature when they bring forward bills to regulate women's bodies.
Now there are exceptions to the proposed law which include sperm donation, contraception, and members of the LGBTQ community. Men face a maximum $10,000 fine after the third offense if they have sex with a woman without the intention of conceiving a child.
Men have the same rights no matter where they go in the country. Women have rights based on where they live.
It just misses the most basic biological facts and leans in towards middle school humor.
Austin Beigel with End Abortion Ohio calls the proposal disrespectful to the pro-life community and a waste of state resources.
They have to review it when they file it. They're going to have to stick a legal team on it, wasting time on that and delaying other bills that are trying to be reviewed as well.
ABC6 asking viewers about the proposal in an online poll. 26% said it's a good idea. 74% telling us it's a waste of time.
These people deserve the harshest possible punishment.
So here you go. Would you make a program here?
They're nasty.
There's a reason being is that they package everything in styrofoam so like the
Yeah.
Did you hear the question, Senator, running for reelection in 2026? All right, I'm sorry, you all, you need a minute?
He's sharp.
A lot.
Yeah.
It is weird. Hmm. It is weird. It is weird, man.
100%.
That's his husband. The husband sent the email. Oh, gotcha. Yep.
All right.
That was racist.
I do not wear white pants.
Khaki originated in India, and I deny. Yeah.
Yeah, it originated in India. It means soil color. Khaki. Khaki.
What the fuck is he talking about? We can make one.
It's like Maria and Maria. It's the same thing. You Americanize everything. There's cock and then there's cocks. You know what I'm saying?
How'd they stop to pee on the way there and back?
You went on a ride. Yep, it was a ride. My first question that came to my mind was, why were these people selected? Specifically, are there no other women in America who are more deserving? That's where my mind went.
Yeah. Well, maybe not, but. World average, six minutes, 40 seconds. Is it? Yeah.
World average, six minutes and 40 seconds. Really? Yeah. How do you know that? I'm an average reader.
I'm always above average. There you go.
Okay, now I want you to watch the hatch door open from the inside. The lady runs over there real quick, says, no, no, no, shuts the door back, tries to stand in front of it. Ha ha ha.
Exactly my point.
Exactly.
Out of all the women in America, there are no women who are deserving less than these people? Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
There's an Amazon store there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, can't you tell?
Yeah. We have so much at home. I don't have anything to do. What should I do? I should just get angry, make a song about how angry I am. And then black people will like me. Yeah.
That's the same argument as why do you want to- Why do you like titties? Why do you want a $5,000 suit if you can get like a $45 suit? It's the same argument.
Yeah. The people in audio should definitely come to YouTube to check out these pictures. Yeah, this is good. This is great.
Yeah, that's an Indian attire. That's why it says they have Hindi names.
Yeah, they probably gave a description of the name and the chat GPT picked it up and gave like an Indian look to that human.
Could be anything. Any female name. I don't know what you said.
The one who commits a crime and the one who doesn't obey laws. Okay, so that's like the official description.
I have a question for you, though. There are a lot of car accidents. What should we do?
Yeah. Right.
Yeah.
Correct. And plates. And forks. Yeah.
No, that's not the problem.
Florida's good. Is it? Florida's good.
Yeah.
Why haven't these people literally been arrested?
It's pretty... Every single day that goes by that I don't see these things happening...
I did see that. You saw it? Yeah, I liked it.
Post about it.
Congresswoman, you promised hell to pay if Reps Monica McIver, Bob Mendez, and Pullman are prosecuted or charged with crime. Is that a threat to Tom Homan and Kristi Noem?
I think people have been watching me drag Republicans for filth for trying to cut Medicaid across this country. I think people have seen how I can be an effective advocate and how there are political consequences, whether it's elections, whether it's public opinion. So, I mean, in terms of personal threat of violence, no, that's crazy.
Okay, and you say that Coleman was doing her constitutional oversight duties, but she assaulted a police officer. Thank you so much.
Congresswoman, why do you think that Democrats are above the law?
Republicans are just so- Congresswoman, are you afraid that they're gonna be prosecuted? and found guilty of assaulting. Stop blocking my phone.
I called you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, there's the guys He's on you know him You know that dude
Yeah. In the form of a Rubik's Cube.
Yes, sir. All right. Been a pleasure. Yep. Good to see you, bro. Absolutely, man.
Share the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hold on, stop.
Let's move on. Yeah.
Mm-mm.
There is a conspiracy that that's actually his father.
They compared old photos of his father with the lady.
So he is 47 and she is 71.
The race.
Sleepin' on the floor, now my jewelry box froze Fuck a bowl, fuck a stove, counted millions in the cold Bad bitch, booty swole, got her on bankroll Can't fold, that's a no, headshot, case closed
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Ranking Member Keating, also wonderful.
Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please? Yes, it's a, we have set the standard on the floor of the House, and I'm simply.
What is that standard, Mr. Chairman? Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America, please?
I will.
The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride. Mr. Chairman, you are out of order. No, he's not. Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent. We will continue this. You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way. You did.
This hearing is adjourned.
Listen.
We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection.
I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower the costs for American families. I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me,
figuring out how to make government actually work better rather than making it work worse in order to prove that government can't work. They are obsessed with culture war issues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.
Weird. But, dude, this fucking... I love, like...
When you go along with these things, it's not only geared
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not her brother. That's her brother.
Of course, that was our life growing up. We shared the same room until you went to high school, right?
Well, let's first just recall how small the apartment we lived in. It seemed like it was huge, but it was essentially two bedrooms. Right?
Well, that little offshoot bedroom that mom and dad stayed in, you would consider that a bedroom.
In our culture, too, different sexes, kids don't stay in the same room. You can't do that, bro.
I mean, that's a whole different discussion. That's what I'm saying. But in an average situation... Right, I agree with that. Brothers and sisters don't sleep in the same room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's a real restaurant It's a steakhouse.
It's not that expensive to a filet mignon is 70 bucks. I
It's not like crazy.
70 into 20 is 1,400.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, please. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, they've been talking about tariffs for decades.
How far does China have to go? How much more repression? How big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for the American worker?
It says to the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. It says to the Chinese this is a shot across your bow. Reform, because if you don't, there are going to be dramatic consequences.
How come when these Democrat elites want tariffs, everything's hunky-dory, but when President Trump wants tariffs, all hell breaks loose? Do you see this double standard?
I love this guy, whoever the hell that is. That's really nice. I appreciate that question. No, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, everybody knew you had to do it, but they never had the guts to do it. It does take guts. It even takes guts for our country to go through it. That's why I say be cool. They were saying about, see, just be cool. It's going to work out. It's going to work out.
And it's working out. I can tell you, working out may be faster than I thought. But I said it's going to take guts. a little conditioning. It's a transition to, it's really, I think it's a transition to greatness. It's going to be greatness. Our country is going to be, there'll be nothing like it. And people investing in our country, they're going to do better than they've ever done before.
How concerned are you with this market fluctuation, and are you concerned that there could be members of the White House that are benefiting from it?
Absolutely. I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the president was going to once again flip-flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading, and you can't put it past them for a minute. So we're going to try to find out.
There's a good chance they'll just ignore you, right? Should there be some other independent investigation over this?
Well, I think Congress should do an investigation into this, but we're going to demand answers from the administration. I think you're right. They're likely to stonewall, particularly if they've been engaged in corrupt insider trading. But they won't be able to hide it for good. I mean, we know who's in the administration. We can look at eventually what people are buying and selling.
This will come out. But an administration that has their own meme coins and is already engaged in self-interested dealing when Elon is doging agencies that are doing oversight of their own businesses. In that kind of corrupt climate, you have to assume the worst. And we're going to try to find out. That's going to come back to bite them.
Thank you.
I'm here at Fort Bragg, the center of the universe for our special operations forces. And earlier this week, I introduced the Military Installation Retail Security Act because we found out that GNC is wholly owned by the Chinese Communist Party and is operating over 80 facilities across our military bases in the United States. That's got to stop.
But here on Fort Bragg, there's not just one, not two, not three. but four locations right here on Fort Bragg alone. Maybe that's so the Chinese Communist Party can better serve our most elite special operators. If I have anything to say about this, and I do, they're not going to be here for long.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
I'm Tim Walz, and I'm running for Congress in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District. I'm a retired command sergeant major. I spent 24 years in the Army National Guard. I spent the better part of two decades as a public school teacher. I'm a small business owner. I'm a father, and I'm a husband. I intend to come here to Washington to provide authentic leadership.
Welcome, welcome to the Capitol. It's great victory. Sir, you're welcome to come. Let me finish. Let me finish.
Hey, there's some passion in here. That's what I like to see. Shut your fucking mouth.
And you cannot just go and say, I like it. It's mine now. It doesn't work that way. Well, that is what they're trying to do. And in this new world order. Yeah, absolutely. When they're looking at Greenland and say, I like it. I want to take it for mine. That is a very colonized. You are. You are.
I have never, ever said we're going to go to Greenland and, quote, colonize it or steal it.
That's crazy. You're not a member of government, so you're irrelevant at that point. I'm talking about the president of the United States doing that.
You got fired from your job. You can agitate on us.
If you want to engage in personal insults, what you lack in the legitimate point, you make up for in personal insults. The point I am making is in this new world order, we are looking at countries, whether or not they're an adversary or ally, it is being determined on what kind of deal we can get. And we cannot govern. We cannot legislate that way. We are increasingly isolated on the world stage.
So if you want to engage in personal insults, if I were you, I would reserve that for your party who is increasingly isolated.
Paul, we're back with Senator Bernie Sanders. I want to introduce Grace Thomas. She's a local civil rights attorney. She's a Democrat, right?
Say them pronouns, actually. Thank you. Oh, you need Senator Sanders. Polling and turnout data indicate that racial demographics are turning away from the Democratic Party.
But of course, did you see Bernie's face?
And this is a hearing that Facebook has tried desperately to prevent. Facebook is one of the most powerful companies in the world. It is one of the most powerful companies in the history of the world. And they have stopped at absolutely nothing to prevent today's testimony. They've absolutely gone to war to try to prevent it.
Our witness today is a whistleblower, and not just a whistleblower, but a longtime executive at Facebook. She worked directly with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sanders and the Facebook brass. She was a part of the Facebook brass, and they have gone scorched earth to prevent her from telling what she knows. They've sued her. They have sought a gag order against her.
They have begged courts to take her book off of the shelves. They tried to get it stopped from being printed in the first place. They have threatened her, get this, with $50,000 in punitive damages every time she mentions Facebook in public. $50,000 every time she mentions Facebook in public, even if the statements that she is making are true.
And even as we sit here today, Facebook is attempting her total and complete financial ruin. They are attempting to destroy her personally. They are attempting to destroy her reputation. And I think the question is why? Why is it that Facebook is so desperate to prevent this witness from telling what she knows?
During my time at Matter, company executives lied about what they were doing with the Chinese Communist Party to employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public. I sit before this committee today to set the record straight about these illegal and dangerous activities. Meta's dishonesty started with the betrayal of core American values.
Mark Zuckerberg pledged himself a free speech champion. Yet I witnessed Meta work hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party to construct and test custom-built censorship tools that silenced and censored their critics.
When Beijing demanded that Facebook delete the account of a prominent Chinese dissident living on American soil, they did it, and then lied to Congress when asked about the incident in a Senate hearing. The willingness to censor was not the only troubling thing I witnessed.
I watched as executives decided to provide the Chinese Communist Party with access to Meta user data, including that of Americans. Meta does not dispute these facts. They can't. I have the documents. As recently as this Monday, they claim that they do not operate their services in China. Another lie. In fact, they began offering products and services in China as early as 2014. That hasn't stopped.
Their own SEC filings from last year show that China is now Meta's second biggest market.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you.
It's kind of crazy. No. It's not crazy. It's true. I think the...
Look at all that racism. So racist. Look at all that racism that's happening right there. That's fucking awesome, dude. That's fucking awesome. That's the guy that fucking pulled Trump off the stage. Yeah, yeah.
After shooting, too. That was his ass, too.
Look at that. That's awesome, dude.
Well, hold on.
Just throw some curry on your head.
And that's saying something. It's a lie. Yeah.
Yeah.
Such an honor to have met you. He has one more thing to say. I won't interrupt you.
Yeah.
Yeah, so anyway.
No, I'm not.
I hate Indian people here.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Holy shit. It went down fucking three bucks. It really did. When I selected the comment, that was real time. You can see the date over there too. March 5th, 2.40 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
This actually happened. This happened.
It's the day after. But yeah, it was going up. If you go to the one month category, it was going up. But then last two days it went down.
On the flip side, somebody also commented that they will order a Papa John's pizza to every S2 location.
That is real. I actually thought of Photoshopping it, but I actually went and checked online, and that's a screenshot.
Yeah, I did think about it. Yeah.
Bro, that's great. I like it. That's what I'm saying. We could use this responsibly.
Oh, it went back up. It's at $46.52 right now. All right, good.
Yeah, man.
Andy, you're on a roll, baby. I'm just saying. I got to get my game up. Come on, lock in, DJ.
The Elon guy. The guy who got the- The guy with Elon.
You belong here. This is your home. Boston is your home. Boston is your home. This is our city. We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.
Did your city spend on illegal immigration? Do you have a round number?
Over the last couple years on all newcomers, whatever their status was, it's around 79 million since 2022.
79 million. Mayor Johnson, Chicago. How much has the city of Chicago spent on illegal immigration?
If you're referring to the 2022 up to 2024 of the buses coming from Texas, roughly the same percentage of the state of Texas, about 1% of our overall budget.
What is that? Because I don't have the city's budget in front of me. Numbers.
It's 1%, and if you want the actual calculation, we can make sure someone gets it. You're the mayor. You don't have the math in front of you. It's 1% of the overall budget over the last four years, which is the same number that was sent from us for the state of Texas.
Mayor Johnson, I already asked you. You don't have a hard number. And if you don't have a hard number, you're not running your city well. Mayor Adams, how much did the city of New York actually spend on illegal immigration? 6.9.
billion of taxpayers six point nine billion dollars of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the american people mayor will in the city of boston how much did you spend
We don't ask about immigration status and delivering citizens.
You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration? Are you out of your mind?
We don't distinguish between immigration status as part of our city policies.
Do you manage your budget or not, Mayor Wu? That is how we keep our city safe. Mayor Wu, do you manage your budget or not?
We have the numbers to prove it. I manage my budget. I have a triple-A bond rating dating back 10 years.
So to the city of Boston, just understand that your mayor does not care how much of your resources she has spent on people who are not citizens of Boston. The city of Boston is sick of having people outside Boston telling us what we need. Mr. Mayor, I have a question for you because I understand Cato's perspective when it comes to illegal immigration.
Mayor Wu, under Boston law, would you turn this criminal over to ICE on a detainer?
Whenever there's a criminal warrant, Boston police enforce that and hold people accountable.
So would you turn that criminal over to ICE?
This happened outside the city of Boston, but I can tell you in the city, whenever someone commits a crime, whenever there's a criminal warrant, we hold them accountable. If ICE deems that they are dangerous enough to hold, obtain a criminal warrant, and the Boston police will enforce it.
Will you turn that criminal over to ICE?
We follow the laws. I take that as a no.
So you don't believe that banning the transfer of individuals into ICE custody for the purpose of civil immigration enforcement encourages illegal immigration into Chicago? Or how about agencies, sorry one second, or agents not being able to stop, arrest, or detain individuals based solely on their immigration status or administrative warrant?
So we comply with all laws, local, state, and federal.
To me, after this line of questioning, it's very clear that these policies that you have all implicated are active and alive and well in your cities are in direct violation with U.S. Title VIII, Code Subsection 1324, and is a federal offense. But you all speak about a broken immigration system, and yet here you guys are aiding and abetting in that entire process.
I want to be very clear about something. Open border policies, which is something that you guys are talking about, hurts people on both sides, meaning the people that are coming here illegally and then American citizens as well.
I do not think you guys are bad people, but I think that you are ideologically misled, which is why, unfortunately, based on your responses, I'm all going to be criminally referring you to the Department of Justice for investigation. And as soon as I leave here, these will be going over to Pam Bondi.
I'm not doing that in an effort to bully you guys, but I do believe that your policies are hurting the American people, and you can make that known with the evidence that you can present to the Department of Justice. But if you guys continue doing what you're doing, you're not going to help anyone.
You're going to hurt more people, and that's exactly why I'm tired of it, the American people are tired of it, and, Chairman, I yield by them.
Would you yield your last minute?
Yes, sir.
Chicken shawarma is not an Indian dish.
Anything outside of America is the same. That's right.
It all smells the same.
You shouldn't be racist in the first five minutes of the show.
We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest.
No one elected Elon Musk to nothing.
Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk. What we not gonna do is stand around while they pull this bull . We are gonna be in your face. We are gonna be on your . We will see you in the courts, in Congress, in the streets. Elon Musk is a Nazi netball baby. Every movement needs a scrappy little , and I am that person. I need each and every one of you to get in touch
With your inner scrappy little ****.
Take your foot off my neck. We are at war.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
It gets so much better.
Yeah, I mean, Jesse, it's a crazy story. I mean, you might forget that the House of Representatives impeached President Trump in December of 2019. Many people may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay. The person had not actually been in the room with Trump.
Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID.
In fact, its initial founding funding, I mean, now it's tens of millions of dollars, had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that's not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the State Department and then of USAID And as you know, Jesse, this is very serious to be involved in an effort to do regime change at home.
As we've been discovering as the files have come out with what Elon Musk has been doing, we know that USAID was really about regime change abroad. It was a kind of public facing part, you know, regime change operation like CIA, but not covert, more overt. Well, now you see a similar blowback, just like they did censorship abroad and brought censorship tools back home.
They were doing this sort of thing abroad, creating a predicate essentially for Trump's impeachment. So I think it's just one of many revelations that we'll see coming out in the next few weeks.
So USAID was involved in regime change abroad and here at home. Very interesting. If you want to read more about what Mike's talking about, go to his Substack after the show. Don't go right now. Go after the show. Thanks, Mike.
So if you love Mexico, bitch, get the fuck over there! And as for my Mexican-American homies, Puma, Kyle, and Lucio!
The governor of New Jersey practically daring the agency to come to his own home. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy declared on Saturday that he and the First Lady are allowing someone pursuing legal status to stay at their home. The governor a little vague on this, but the bold admission came at an event during a broader discussion about the policies of the new Trump administration.
Here is the governor. Listen.
Tammy and I were talking about, I don't want to get into too much detail, but there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what, let's have her live at our house above our garage. And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.
First of all, pretty interesting, the state's attorney general...
The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply
unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area do a real job do something different just can't go back if you go back it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years he also added that the u.s would be developing gaza economically sending troops if necessary making some investments he called the potential of gaza unbelievable
$1,500.
$1,500.
Yes, sir. The gentle lady has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the transgender community. Let me please finish without interruption.
That guy doesn't even know what she said.
Yeah.
big story is 60 minutes and you said you have to turn over the transcripts of the vice president kamala Harris's interview because of the way obviously was edited and they're already being sued for ten billion dollars by the Trump team are you worried about the precedent of asking for these transcripts because now everybody that has to edit down a interview with a high-profile figure will have the same situation
I wasn't doing nothing. Right? Wasn't even my pants.
Moolish Arepin. Harpin. Moolish Arepin.
Oh, it's so cold.
Guinness is a type of stout.
Specifically an Irish dry stout.
Oh, God.
People, this is racism.
Indeed.
Broke-ass motherfuckers are going to drink your own piss for $10,000.
Or maybe look at it as like they are hustlers. They're looking at the opportunity and grabbing it. That's the way I see it.
Here's a question for you. What if we can go back in 1999 and you know all that you know right now and you're told back in 1999 that you can get the 26 years of progress in two years, but you have to sit in a glass box full of snakes for 14 hours, but you can shorten this 26 year of your entrepreneurship journey into two years.
Knowing where you would be. 14 hours in a box full of snakes.
No, they are.
Same thing. Same thing. Fucking Steve Irwin over here. Venom, you die. Snake, you die. Poison, you die.
Straight to jail. That's right.
Listen, y'all be charming to motherfuckers. I thought y'all would know.
My ancestors didn't teach me that.
Muscle memory.
All right.
Absolutely.
Oh, shit. All right, man. All right. Well, guys, we appreciate your weird asses.
Yeah, it's not good.
You send the niggas to jail. It's not good. Like, you're losing. Like, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I said he had a moose knuckle.
You know what I'm talking about. He's definitely on the scooter. Huh? He's on the scooters. For sure. Yeah, whatever. All right.
He did have a nice moose knuckle.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's only been 10 years.
Yes.
Fake news.
This is fake news.
What does that mean?
Any type of the nation, baby, I'll tell you that. I mean, it's what's available.
The majority of the people in the bottom of the world.
Are you tired of the same old boring eggs? Well, have I got a super delicious and fun treat for you. Go ahead and cook up your perfect six minute eggs and let's add some cricket salt to one, some black ant salt to another, and super worms on both to create the most delicious, sensational, fun egg that you could ever imagine.
Yeah, there's a big community. And they'll amplify the sound. It's echoey. And it's like, the crunch is like.
There's a big following for that.
You should search it on YouTube and show it on the screen.
Y'all wildin' today.
I don't even chew gum, bro. I don't chew gum.
bro first of all dude he looks like dave no he doesn't there's actually a condition called misophonia is a condition where people experience intense annoyance or anger triggered by specific sounds when someone's eating or breathing too loudly
Misophonia.
Are you missing something in your life? Nope. Maybe it's cricket, gochujang, mayo with a bun.
The cricket powder adds another layer of depth and flavor and extra crunch of the crickets and mealworms. Forget about it.
Turn it off. Look.
Oh, my God.
So nice to see you.
Yeah, they get you there faster.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, right.
We love America. We love America. The red, white, and blue. America is everyone's home. Even Mrs. Tina is home.
Or racist in my potato salad.
Too much pepper. You know what I'm saying? It's dance. Don't fucking dance. Oh, fuck, dude.
Break it down, Hannah. Tina, Tina, you're sexy as hell. White palettes. Even more than that. Everyone is beautiful in the red, white, and blue country. America, oh, America. America is home. Break it down, Becca. America is beautiful.
Let's crew some comments, man. Okay. What?
America is home. Where we stand, where we are all gorgeous in our home. Not only we, but my friend Tina is beautiful in the red, white, and blue America. America is home.
That's not real. Bullshit.
Bro, look at the, I like the profile picture. You know what was funny?
Yeah.
I'm trained.
Burn you Pakistanis to death. Go on. Bring it on. Full context, this is
So,
I'm fighting for India.
They got better music.
I'm fine with India, bro. We're going to have a good time, too. India's in the bag, man. Indian people have a good time, bro. They know how to fucking party, even when they're killing people.
I will never go to McDonald's.
Yeah, you were the opposite of good.
Yeah. I mean, when you talk about that fear, I'm sure that fear has been tested across your life in so many different places. And I wonder, what would you say has been the most hardest recent test of that fear? Because it's not one of those fears that you kind of get over and it just goes away. It kind of shows its head in many different ways, I imagine.
Ms. Rivers, how are you? You made a ton of news officiating the wedding in New York yesterday. Is this like a new cottage career move for you?
I am so excited. And I should do very well because I don't charge.
And do you think that the country will see the first, the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president?
Well, we already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down.
Got it.
You know Michelle is a tramp.
I'm sorry, she's a what?
A transgender. We all know.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, gosh. It's okay.
Yeah.
In the past, they used to say that to make things worse, they simply said, I'll pull you over the table.
There are different techniques. So, there's a lot of techniques. How do I sit at the table? How do I bring my strength to the ring as quickly as possible? And of course, the fingers have to be well trained.
Of course, we have open fingers here and small bruises here. It often looks bad because it's not enough.
That sounds like a terrible dream.
I do. Yeah. I do.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Olga. Olga, he's got the championship, y'all. Yeah. He's the best finger blaster. Don't you know? Yeah, bro.
Wait, wait, grenade. Boom. Wait, wait, I'm retarded. Bro, what the fuck are we talking about here?
I'm thinking I watch cruise ships leave every day, literally, when I'm playing paddle. That's why the analogy came to me, and I'm like, dear God, no.
It does.
It's very clean and simple and just –
So 64% thinks it's cringy.
We know, like... You don't think cat people love their cats as equal as dogs do?
But they don't they don't see the same sentiment that you do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep, exactly.
All right. Gummies.
Mm-hmm.
Yep, that's one way, yep.
Like...
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
CIA targeter.
Yes, that's her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe a spiritual entity.
Oh, sorry. Let's switch. This one here, I want you to try. See, it's all in the salt. I'll do that one. All right.
Dang, that is right on the money.
Oh my gosh.
Thank you.
A lot.
Yeah, because I'd show up.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That could have been in the book.
Because it's 100 degrees.
Yeah, exactly.

I came to the US to give me the right to dream. In Egypt you don't have that option. It's not cliche, I'm not trying to recruit people to join the army. But I was like, here is a key actually, to be as American as anybody can argue with you. And it was joining the military. Man endet dort mit reiner Determinierung, Grit und ein bisschen Glück.
Wir haben also unsere Aufgaben vom Sekretariat des Verteidigungsniveaus erhalten. Wir sind im Spezialeinrichtungsgericht verantwortlich für drei Hauptmissionen. Konter-Narkotik, Konter-Terrorismus und Hostage-Rescuit. Ich glaube, wenn mein Vater mich nicht auf die richtige Bildung gedrängt hätte, hätte ich vielleicht in die richtige Richtung gegangen. Bildung hilft Menschen zu prosperieren.
Sie helfen Menschen, die Informationen, die sie erhalten, kritisch zu analysieren. Wenn jemand ihnen erzählt, wenn du mit deinem rechten Fuß in die Toilette gehst, und nicht mit deinem linken, dann gehst du in die Hölle. Wenn du eine betroffene Person hast, wirst du ihn anschauen und sagen, das macht keinen Sinn.
Und dann glaube ich, dass es wichtig ist, Frauen aufzubauen, weil sie uns geboren haben. Viele Leute sparen mehr Zeit mit ihren Moms als mit ihrem Vater, weil sie uns ernähren und all diese Dinge machen. Also, wenn wir eine Bevölkerung von aufgeborenen Frauen in den Norden und in diesen Ländern haben, denke ich, dass diese Länder prosperieren werden.
Und es wäre schwierig, diese Leute zu überzeugen, Terroristen zu werden. Business is war and business is good. When we give people the proper education, we all live a better life.
I am addicted to lip filler.
Restlessness turns towards perfection. Yeah. Perfectionism.
All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.
All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.
as a presence, as an identity. You want to be more generic. Generic. Yes. It's a Japanese ethos where we are asked to disappear behind our masks as pleasant, interchangeable helpers.
Thank you.
I'm the boss. So maybe, maybe one day.
Yeah.
She's young and fun, like me. And he's old and grumpy, like you. I'm just kidding.
Ah! Ah!
Right, exactly. Right. But what do I want, I guess? Pussy? Money? Freedom? Respect?
Don't you feel like that could just be like wishful thinking, like you want to feel something so you... It's real.
Nice to meet you.
Bye, you guys. Bye-bye.
They have it.
But that's beside the point.
Okay, who knows what a gooey duck is? You guys don't? Yes? Yeah, no? It sounds like pate or something? Who knows what a penis is? They look identical. It is not the thing that I wanted to cook and have my first moment dunking the gooey duck in hot water to then remove the... Boar skin? Yes, yes, I'll let you say that.
And to slide it off, and that was my first moment, but it was the quickest thing that you could cook in 30 minutes. Wait, so you moiled a... Wow!
And I'm very gay, so shocking that I knew what to do with it.
Well, so they didn't even say that. I saw it. anyone that is a fan of the show saw that on Instagram when Padma posted it and it was like, it caught me off guard too. I was like, who's going to take over that job? Not me.
It's probably going to be one of you. You all are very funny and clever and very witty and charming.
And it just happened so fast. I got a call. I was flying from Thailand back to New York, and I was in Dubai, and I got a call from my agent, and it just, things started rolling.
pack your knives and go is still there and you are top chef is still there they have been there you didn't change it you weren't like off well i did did you pitch your own did you pitch your own the first day i was like maybe what if i do just say go the home yeah but i felt like i was like there's a lot of people i don't want to say that too so i was like you know i'll be nice to everybody so we can't tell you know you are you are a very positive person um
It was head-spinning, and it's also crazy because people would say things to me like... Thank God. Like we, like I thought my career was great before Hamilton, but it just encouraged people, you know, kind of like if you thought you looked good and then you lose weight and people all of a sudden tell you now you look good. I felt like a medium time actor, a really solid medium time actor.
And if anyone has watched Girls by Veva, you know what I mean. Yes.
It's not my life all the time. I always say never underestimate how invisible a middle-aged black woman can be. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? I can hear you.
I was. I was. Yes. You know, it's so funny. They make fun of me because I didn't remember that I was in a girl group until we were on Fallon. And we'd finished shooting the entire first season. That's how long I've been throwing random things against the wall to see if they stick. I could not remember that I was actually in a girl group.
And also, it was easy to forget because we didn't have one hit. We had no hits. Right. But we were, so when people say a one-hit Wonder Girl group is somehow or another a failure, I'm like, really? Because they have that in? What was the name? I don't remember the name of the group. I just remember the song that we had. It was, yes you can, yes you can, find you a good man.
And I just had no idea how stereotypical it was to have a one hit that didn't even make it, that was only about how you could treat a man right. That's what we do on Girls5eva. We really, with comedy, just spoof this idea that we are defined by how we make a man feel. And we take it to a wonderful degree.
We have songs called Dream Lover, Dream Girlfriend, because our dads are dead and you never have to meet them. We just parody lyrics of that time, and it feels so good.
Listen, as soon as we touched down, I had cheese curds, custard, butter burger... And I know Wisconsin is much more than just your dairy, but your dairy is exceptional. It's true.
Helping me claim my name. I love it.
Oh, I'm sorry. You can't.
Sorry. But also, if I lose, does Heather still get the prize? Because this is a lot of pressure for me. I want to do good for somebody else, and then if I don't do good and then she doesn't get the prize, I'm going to feel really bad for the rest of my life.
Oh, God. See, I was really bad at quizzes, and I always did C when I didn't know the answer, but there's only... He ate the octopus. He ate the octopus. That's right. There you go. See, you know what's crazy? Get back in your head. You do it right. Right. You think you know the answer, and then you...
Someone once asked me at a food and wine festival, side note, you know, Le Creuset, Le Creuset, the cookware. Someone was like, how do you say Le Creuset? And I've been saying Le Creuset the right way my entire life. And someone goes, how do you say it? And I was like, have I been saying it wrong? And I go, Le Creuset? Really? And they're like, no, this is what happens. I overthink. I know.
The pressure.
Two? You have to get two.
You know how I do well under pressure? I don't do very well. What happened in high school once is I was a really great free throw basketball person. They threw me on the team because I was tall for my age. It's not because I was actually good. But I got really good at just aiming and standing in one spot. Right. So then what happened is there was a game. We were playing our rivals. Right.
And it was tied game. Everything that you think of when you see something really suspenseful in a sports game, that's what's going to happen. All right, let's go.
And I go, whoop, and it airballed. It was devastating. Devastating. So this is how I feel now. So go ahead, ask your question.
I think I'm ready.
So take a look at GM as just an example, see if you feel like that exposure is now priced into the market or view whether or not you think that the likelihood of the full tariff impact as priced in by the market is likely to happen.
So Tesla's coming back from the sharp drop it saw early this year. At one point, the stock was down 40% year to date. It's come back a bit lately. The next data point for that next week, we're going to get Q1 deliveries. Analysts are looking for about a 7% decline year over year from last year's first quarter. So that's taking into account some of the brand's impact.
Hey, how you doing?
from Doge and Elon Musk's activities with the Trump administration. And so the question comes, not necessarily those numbers. I mean, the stock is going to move next week, kind of whether it's better or worse than people had kind of feared. But the question becomes, is Q1 going to be the low, the heaviest impact on the brand from that, or whether there's going to be a normalization going forward.
So we're not obviously going to know that information for a little bit, but that's the question investors are going to be asking when they get that data. And then further from that, looking longer term, the Tesla story is less about its current EVs and the deliveries that are going to happen month to month or even for the foreseeable future. It's more of a technology plate generally.
So autonomous vehicles, robots, solar build out in general. So if you're looking at it from an investment point of view, you're kind of questioning to what extent Tesla can get those more futuristic technologies online in the near term.
So it's still pretty sluggish. I think if we're looking at the turkeys, Broadcom is a standout. It's down about 12% in the past week. The main catalyst for that is Microsoft announced that it's scrapping some data center plans related to AI. So a lot of the AI infrastructure stocks were down, including Broadcom. Broadcom has exposure to those kind of big supplier projects. agreements.
So it's in a position where as these larger companies scale back their AI ambitions, it might be affected. So I think that speaks to the larger, the question of where we are in the AI cycle, if the trillions of dollars in build-out that people expected is going to happen at the pace they expected, or whether companies are going to look around and start to save cash a
So as long as you mentioned tariffs, we might as well get that out of the way. The big news in the last day or two has been auto tariffs have kind of creeped up as the main headline. So GM is down about 7% as we're talking today. Ford and Toyota are both down about 3%. So there's a new kind of sector that's being sucked into the tariff debate as the kind of moving target that tariffs have become.
having more modest ambitions for their AI build out.
Yeah, so Novo Nordisk is an interesting stock in this space. It was down about 7% in the past week. This was part of a longer-term decline, so it's down about 45% in the past year and 22% in the past month. It's just touched a 52-week low recently. Part of this was earlier this month it had disappointing trial results for its next-generation weight loss drug.
There's also signs that it's sort of losing its first-mover advantage recently. companies like Eli Lilly are catching up in the space. So I think there's two things going on there. I think one is concern about saturation for weight loss drugs generally, and kind of wondering what the next big thing is going to be in that space. And then for
Novo Nordisk specifically, it's going to face some market share problems because it's starting to lose out a little to Eli Lilly, but also it doesn't have that next big thing clearly on the horizon right now.
GameStop's board determined that the company could buy Bitcoin as part of its investment strategy. So as a reserve asset, it can buy Bitcoin as opposed to bonds or whatever else its board had already approved. There was sort of an initial excitement about that, but I think that faded relatively quickly. I think there's concern that that's...
a desperation move where the company's fundamentals are such that it's trying to reposition itself as a bitcoin hedge fund in a way just sort of reinvest its cash um in an asset that it sees could go up obviously as an investor you might ask yourself why would i buy gamestop to get exposure to bitcoin when i could just buy So I think you can look at it two ways.
If you're looking at it from a GameStop point of view, it kind of has the stench of the dot-com bubble when every company just added dot-com to the end of its name. There's something of a trend following going on there. So I think there was a negative reaction to that once all was said and done.
If you look at Bitcoin, you and I have talked in the past about the near-term movement in Bitcoin versus the longer-term prospects for Bitcoin.
And so if you're a long-term Bitcoin bull, you can take this as a sign of further adoption as more and more companies view Bitcoin as a reserve asset in the way that instead of storing cash, you're just going to store the money in your quote-unquote bank account in Bitcoin. As that becomes more prevalent, then obviously that provides more of a floor. for Bitcoin.
And that ties into the idea of Bitcoin strategic reserve and other macro factors that are going to affect the asset longer term.
Yeah. I wish I had picked a different name because it sounds like not enough when you say strategy. The artist formerly known as. Yeah. The artist formerly known as MicroStrategy. I think that's the exact model that they're trying to match.
again as an investor i'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy bitcoin if you were a bitcoin bull i don't know why you'd kind of filter that through gamestop unless you had faith in the stock anyway which you wouldn't need the Bitcoin part to do. So I don't know. I guess from a GameStop's point of view, instead of holding cash, you can hold it in an asset that you view as going up.
Obviously, Bitcoin can be volatile too. So that can cause problems along the way as it does occasionally for strategy. I don't know. I mean, obviously it's up to the individual investor to kind of decide how they feel about it. But as you pointed out, the market seems to not have taken it in the best light.
They're the new kind of face of it. I think one of the interesting things to take away, and I think this is just sort of general investing advice, is like I said, GM's down 7%, but Ford's only down 3%. So there's going to be winners and losers, or you could say more loser, less loser, in some of these situations. And so it makes it a stock picking situation.
If you're just looking at trading, Bitcoin in no way is moving like an inflation hedge. You know, if you lay a A gold graph over a Bitcoin graph, they don't resemble each other at all. Gold, as you just point out, hitting new highs. People are very bullish, especially as inflation continues to be sticky.
And Bitcoin has never traded that way, even though that's one of the selling points for Bitcoin is that it's not affected by inflation. So it's a place to store wealth during times of inflation. It's never actually been used that way. At least there's no evidence that it's being used that way.
So in the near term, Bitcoin still moves like a risk asset as opposed to gold, which is sort of the anti-risk asset. As it stands now, I would see those as separate trading nexuses. Different investors are interested in Bitcoin than are interested in gold, even if theoretically there's some kind of overlap.
Yeah, I mean, I think part of the complicating factor in terms of that is I don't know that Bitcoin saturation has reached a point where it can... That kind of strategizing can be a real leverage for the price. And by that, I mean... Not enough people hold it for it to be a real alternative to gold in that way. So the people who are buying Bitcoin are buying it for different reasons than that.
But like you're pointing out in kind of a theoretical sense and just sort of the structure of how Bitcoin works and the structure of how gold works, there is an argument that Bitcoin would be a better inflation hedge than gold. Because we're still mining new gold in the way that the Bitcoin mining operations are much more predictable than the amount of gold in the world.
Looking, you know, whatever timeframe far in the future you want to look, 10 years, 100 years, whatever, as long as... you sort of grant that Bitcoin is going to become sort of ubiquitous in people's portfolio, there could conceivably be a chance. Because eventually, if everyone who would want to buy Bitcoin eventually buys it, then there's nothing to push Bitcoin higher.
I mean, Bitcoin doesn't have earnings. It's not going to grow revenue. So there is theoretically at some point in the long, long-term horizon where Bitcoin sort of reaches a plateau. And at that point, when it hits that plateau, then yeah, maybe it moves like gold.
So it's just like your interest in Bitcoin is just sort of moving it around like a currency where you're holding dollars, you're holding Bitcoin, you're holding yen, whatever you think is sort of the best currency in that moment. But we're so far from that point at this point that I think the macro factors are
that impact Bitcoin are much more related to kind of pace of how quickly institutions, governments, and other sort of large term holders are picking up the crypto.
So if you're looking at a particular sector that might be affected by these tariffs, you might want to look under the hood of some of those companies and see which ones are most exposed. As an individual investor, as you're looking at it, you might want to just use the stock price as a gauge of that kind of Like I said, GM's underperforming, going down faster than some of its major competitors.
Yeah. So next week, the big news is going to be the jobs report that comes out on Friday. We're going to get a glimpse into kind of how the employment situation is doing with the ADP report on Wednesday. So those are going to be critical in terms of determining where we're at economically. Obviously, the big sort of debate going on is sort of are we in a recession and to what extent?
Are we in a recession? So the jobs data is going to be sort of a big data point there. So far, the labor market has been pretty solid, even as other economic indicators have shown contraction. On that front, we also get ISM data. Next week, we get the ISM manufacturing index and also the ISM services index, the non-manufacturing data.
So both of those, it'll be interesting to see if they are in contraction or to what extent they're in contraction. So that gives kind of an idea of how... companies are doing and how they're seeing the economy. So I think combining those kind of data points is going to give a really good economic look next week.
And then if we're looking at earnings, the calendar's real light next week, but there are some interesting ones. CalMain, which is an egg producer, is reporting its earnings. With eggs, always sort of the the how prices are doing kind of indicator. I think it'll be interesting to see if they have any price predictions or price data in that earnings report.
And then there's a couple of high profile consumer focused companies, Constellation Brands, which is an alcohol producer. They do beer, wines, and spirits. They're reporting earnings. And then ConAgra, which is a large
packaged food company they're reporting earnings as well so both of those might be useful in terms of seeing kind of where the consumer is at what do you think the line is when we change it from the big mac index to the egg mcmuffin index do you see that coming soon Well, we should definitely do them in parallel at this point.
But yeah, I think, well, the problem is egg prices are too volatile, right? Like you can't.
Yeah. Right. You have to do like, like a core.
Yeah. Right.
lately. If you look at some of the bigger retailers like Costco is up slightly in the past week. I think that you're seeing a little bit, I don't want to call it brighter, but a less negative view of retailers. I think investors have kind of come to the conclusion that the correction that happens in retail may have gone too far. And so we're kind of in a wait and see situation there.
So obviously the market has determined that GM is the most exposed to the tariffs that are coming in. So as an investor, you're coming in with that information as sort of your first take on it. And then I think your goal as an investor is to see to what extent the market might have overreacted to the situation.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
For the moment, yeah. Which means, oh yeah, wait till you're locked outside your house just trying to get back in to get a 30 year old rug out of the bathroom, bitch.
Oh, because you haven't been talking, right? Except to Kyle Richards who talks to him. Oops, did I say that part out loud? Sorry. I don't want to be spoken to in a certain way.
Banyos. Bidet. Bathroom.
No, and you don't have to be as long as he is sober, because what were you saying about him? He's a raging alcoholic.
100% raging, all in alcoholic.
He's such an alcoholic that Sky Vodka's like, we should call you... Space vodka, because you're higher up than us.
I'm not very good at this, Erica. I'm not very good at this.
So Erica's like, yeah, you don't have to, but listen, as long as he's sober, you gotta be nice to him. Have you seen us on television? That's just how it is. If someone says they're sober, you gotta be nice to them. It's called the victim cloak. All right, Ronnie came up with the term, give him credit, trademark it. All right, he's wearing it right now.
So you can't slam the door on his face with a sober person.
And when were you kind again?
And Erica goes like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no. That girl's not even sober. You don't have to be nice to her. Get her, Doreen. Drag her, Doreen.
No, no. Well, she revealed exactly how far she would go, which is making a kind of hurtful statement, maybe. And Dorit's like, it's just so opposite to, what is it? Sisterhood. It's opposite to the sisterhood. It's opposite to the sisterhood. Sisterhood. Sisterhood. Sisterhood. Sisterhood. Banyo. Bathroom. Bathroom. Listen, it's all about openness.
You don't kick a girl when they're down, you know? And Erica says, at least the Vanderpump, that shit was funny. I've been to these Richards. You know, look at Sutton. Sutton has misread myself at the lowest town in my life. She then moved on to Kyle and now she's King Dorit at the lowest point in her life. It's bullshit.
It should be theirs in the first place. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What were we talking about?
Oh, what is that?
Yeah.
Here comes one right now.
It's what little chaps, little, little chaps. That's why I'm fed up.
You're angry at your life. That's what she said. Really?
this shanty this shack into a sanctuary this 1.8 million dollar shack please make it somehow livable it's such a it's like i'm every night i'm just living in my sleeping in my beautiful beautiful down bed She's like, here, come on in, mutton. I've made some porridge. It's all I can have here in this million dollar house.
Nice to meet you, Martin.
He's like, oh, you look fabulous.
Well, come on, it's not... You don't look too bad yourself.
So, uh... One Lawrence Blod, one of the top interior designers in the world, has agreed to meet with me and give me the shithole a little... Left. Now, it was a little awkward at first because I thought I was reaching out to Martin Lawrence, the comedian, but hey, I'll take this guy, too. I love the gays. So, do you know Shanaynay?
Does the phrase damn Gina mean anything to you?
Oh, we're talking about Gina Davis?
Oh, that's good enough for me.
I was like, oh my God, holy mother macaroni. Oh yeah, Cher, Pink Chloe, everybody has fabulous style goes to Martin Blod.
I lost a lot of my stuff. I lost my entire home. I lost my furniture. And what you see in front of you is literally what I was left with in the middle of the night, so I lost a lot.
Okay, he's like, well, I can't really see what's in front of me because I'm shielding my eyes from the depravity in front of me. It's awful. Going back to Robertson Boulevard.
Yeah, my old home was absolutely beautiful. Everything was perfectly done, down to the T. This place I'm living in was my Hail Mary past, but it's time to start living again.
I thought, how could I ever find the will to live? But I decided, you know what, I'm going to make it happen. It might be a tiny shoebox of a luxury home, but I'll make it happen, goddammit.
So she's like, well, the point here is it's this chic little space needs to be freedom. It needs to be style. It needs to be sexiness. It needs to be a new beginning. It needs to be diamond earrings. They're not touching these things, you motherfuckers.
Would you say it needs to be fresh and easy? God, R.A.P. My favorite grocery store.
Heaven. So he starts, he's like, well, first we have to, we're just going to cleanse the space a little bit.
I wasn't talking about the vase. I was talking about Erica. You'll have to leave the house now. Please move that statue.
That's live. That's my assistant.
Disgusting.
Go.
Oh, by the way, here's the bathroom.
P.U. Let's swap out this spritzer for some Lysol. Am I right?
She's like, several.
How about we replace all these beautiful white linens and perfectly nice furnishings with insane patterns and various different depictions of elephants from India? Does that sound good to you? I think all the men will love it.
That's all right. Oh, here it is. Look. It's a pool and a perfectly nice sofa. Disgusting. It's very upsetting.
Please, I'm having the vapors. Someone take me back to Interior Illusions on Santa Monica Boulevard.
You know, add big turquoise autopilos to this and some big parish trays and some lanterns and, I don't know, maybe we could just, like, hire someone from Morocco just to stand there. I don't know. Listen, you could fix this up to your next music video here. I mean... LOL. And you know, there's literally more star power here than anywhere else in the house.
So she's like, well, I'm so glad for you to be here because now you get to go back to your early roots where you get to create with $5. He's like, boom.
Here, why don't you prop up my book in the living room, and that will be it, because you can't afford anything else. That is your decor. Congratulations.
And then I have them jailed when they try and collect their bills.
Oh, don't worry.
What a fun, fun activity.
And Erica's like, oh, Jesus Christ. I don't know shit, all right? I'm just pretending to be your friend here. Can I go? No.
I'm headed with Kyle.
The next season, she's like, Kyle, what can I do, Kyle?
There'll be a lot of trash bags and pizza to throw at the bitch.
She's like Sutton, Sutton. Oh, hello you fabulous dogs. So good to see you. How are you?
So Jennifer is like, my boyfriend and I used to play high stakes poker back in the back room of the Viper Room, but I've never really been there while it's club night.
Oh, how are you? I'm such a fan of yours. You're so fabulous.
And it's like, all right, ladies, it's a fun night tonight. Nothing more than it's a pride party. Having a good time. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Erika, get on up here! All right, everybody. I've got a new song. It's called Dominoes, and here it goes. Pizza tracker, pizza tracker. Tracking my pizza and my pussy. It's my pizza tracker, pizza tracker. Pizza and my pussy. Thank you. Thank you. Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino, domino. That's the chorus, everybody.
Domino, domino, domino, domino. Pizza tracker, pussy tracker. Pizza tracker, pussy tracker. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Dominoes, motherfucker.
i'm just like pascasso so um people like oh my god that's amazing and um jennifer till he goes domino domino i don't think it's gonna win any awards for music but it's catchy and then eric is like thank you all so much thank you
And Erica's like, oh my God, it's happening right here, the biggest fight of the century.
And she goes, oh, you can't shield the children forever? I don't plan to shield them forever, son of a fucking bitch weapon. I was imagining against the wall, I would do the lowest point of my life.
Oh, do not touch the kids. Do not hands off the kids. I think sudden is coming from a good place, but those are her kids and she can do whatever she wants with them.
Erica's like, I told you, the sisterhood, the openness, the honesty, it's all bullshit right here in front of you. Told you so.
Never done it.
She goes, I want you to stop fucking raising your voice at me.
Yeah.
