The new shirt is super crisp fold. That's kind of cool. We're not shouting out. We're not doing no shout outs. We're talking about rude right now. Shout out to rude. If you guys want to send me any more stuff, I fucks with you guys. Speaking of which, this is my new thing that I brought up is I'm doing my own flagrant

ads on the side. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is my new thing. So basically, if you just Venmo me like 100 bucks, I'll just bring up whatever the thing is that you want me to advertise. Randomly. In conversation.

Just throughout the whole show. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm running my own little side. I don't know why I'm supportive of this. Yeah. Because that shit will happen. In that moment, I made the decision that it was more entertaining to support it.

Yeah. And then once those memos start coming in, then I'll stop it immediately. I really think we need to cut out that wide shot, dude. Mark's taking a dove seat. You better have some sneakers to promote because that's about the holy fucking thing you're going to see. No, we're starting a music video. I can't do that. Is that what?

Yeah, we see your shoe. Oh, you don't like the shoe. No, you have nice shoes. Those are creative wrecks. Yeah, he's lost weight. Honestly, he's lost weight. Skin is... Unbelievable.

No, your skin looks fantastic. When he first came to Miami, you looked like a sweet potato tortellini. Yes, you did. Now, you are to Miami, you looked like a sweet potato tortellini. Yes, you did. Now, you are... You took five years off. Honestly, for real. Hair is thicker.

You are slimmer. You fit your clothes way better. To begin more erections, I have noticed that. What is that? More erections. Thank you, Blue. More erections. Shouts to the Blue.

I'm saying, dude, it's really unbelievable. You've transformed. But I'll give everyone the secret soon. Alex now hears about it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be getting the secret. My skin, my skin. There's one secret.

Oh. Future partners. I won't Venmo. It'll be for all of us. No, no, no. Just us. Just me. Just me.

Oh. Here we go again, Al. Here we go again. Just me. Watch out out wheezy this is how wtf media studios okay so it's gonna be media studios you're gonna be like wtf happened to me all right dude let's talk about this weekend shall we we have to no no no this is big okay this is big i the the jake paul asker oh i know the fight was big everything else sucked oh no the triller event was horrible that's my point was absolutely horrible um we can get into why it's horrible later uh or we could just talk about it

now it's too much music and the fight the fights were boring before the jake paul one and then too much music like i don't care about watching Saweetie lip sync, okay? It was so trash. I don't care about Doja Cat. I don't care about any of these things. Fight fans are not Doja Cat fans. They're not Saweetie fans. Justin Bieber's performance I thought was good.

I could do one song. Do one song. Shouts to C's. Where's Daniel Caesar? Bring out Daniel Caesar. Justin, Daniel, play the fucking peaches and then get to the fights. All we need are the fights. We don't care about the music component at all.

I'm going to give you one bit of pushback. I hated it. I'm also not a fight fan, but this wasn't marketed to fight fans. That was a good point. This is marketed to young people who would be interested in Jake Paul fighting. They fucked up. My issue is the performances weren't good. Like, Sweetie wasn't.

What are you doing? They can't be good. Even Super Bowl performances, you're like, man, it was all right. And that is the biggest performance ever. You're watching a music video live. And music videos at home are okay. Live, you're like, what the fuck are we doing? Empty Stadium.

Empty Stadium was weird. If you were in the room for a concert, I could see that as potentially being good. But you're not. You're watching at home. So one song is kind of fun. Bake it into the intro in some way. Figure out something. But it was just too long. It's one o'clock by the time the fucking fight comes.

So, bad job. But I think Triller will be able to adjust. And they'll go, okay, people could not give a flying fuck about this much music. Maybe we'll have a couple music acts. Because I'm looking at this like you wasted money. You had to pay all these people. You don't need to pay them. You don't need Charlie D'Amelio and Dixie D'Amelio giving people fake belts. Not necessary. What people are invested in when it comes to a fight is literally the outcome of that fight.

That's all they do. They don't need the theatrics around it. They need none of that. When we watch a street fight, you know who did this brilliantly? Barstool. When they did Rough and Rowdy, they knew that they weren't going to have famous people fight each other. But what they could do is create rivalries. So they had the city kid versus the country bumpkin. The gay dude versus the straight dude. This frat versus this frat. A firefighter versus a policeman.

They found built-in rivalries that already existed. And now we're emotionally connected to the outcome of that fight. I want to see who wins. the older brother or the younger brother. They had an older brother, younger brother fight each other once. I just watched it on YouTube. I'm like, why am I watching this? Yeah. I want to see if that younger brother can get him.

Yeah. Right? And it was brilliant because they understood the emotional driving point of a fight. Jake Paul also understands that. Yeah. And that's why we tuned into that fight. Yeah. And Ben Askren also understands that. Yes. And that's why we tuned into that fight. Yeah. And Ben Askren also understands that.

Yes. And that's why we tuned into that fight. Yeah. And I fucking love Ben, and I want to talk about Ben afterwards, but I first want to give Jake some flowers. Yeah. Let's not even talk about the knockout just yet. Jake Paul is the biggest fight in boxing

right now bigger than Canelo yeah bigger than Tyson Fury bigger than Anthony Joshua

he is right now the biggest fight in boxing I know you guys think I'm absolutely fucking retarded when I say this

yes I'm not joking 1.5 million pay-per-view buys 1.5 million pay-per-view buys yeah I don't think you're crazy I just need to hear. 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. Yeah, I don't think you're crazy. I just need to hear numbers. 1.5 million pay-per-view buys.

We can look at other past pay-per-views, but here's the thing you got to consider. This one got 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. Now that he knocked Askren out in the first round, people who don't like Jake Paul have just increased exponentially. And Jake knows that. And the MMA community that's infuriated with Jake Paul has increased exponentially.

Literally every fighter, after their fight, Robert Whitaker said, I'd fight Jake Paul for less than $500,000. Why are you mentioning that fight? Why are you even bringing it up? You just won a fight on the same night. He is under everybody's skin, and what do I always say on this podcast? Haters and celebrators pay the same price of admission, and this guy is going to take people hating

on him and ride that shit to the fucking top. Now, I keep hearing people say this all the fucking time. They go, why isn't he fighting a real boxer? Why isn't he fighting a real boxer? Why would he? Why would he? Why does he he have to he's not trying to win the belt he doesn't want to be the greatest boxer of all time yes money money and you cannot show me a boxer that wouldn't like to make millions of dollars in their first three fights you think that these boxers want to

fight 20 times before they fight for a title and maybe touch a million dollars yeah fuck no give me the money immediately if you're smart enough to not care about the fucking belt which is it which if you don't care about the sport who gives a fuck about the belt yeah right if there was no money in boxing jake paul's not gonna be a boxer right he knows it but that motherfucker say what you want about i don't care if you like his personality or don't like his personality remove personality from all this right just look at straight business the guy knows how to get under people's skin get them invested and get them wanting to beat his ass he's really smart the kid is fucking smart he's really smart he understands business he might not um communicate it well but he knows what he's doing bro he Bro, he knows how to get people to fucking hate him.

In an attention economy, hate is the easiest form of attention. We are so much quicker to hate things than we are love. How hard is it for us to give something up? Being hated takes less talent, but it takes one supreme talent, and that is you have to be willing to be hated. Superpower. Which most of us are not.

Again, I don't care if you're listening right now, you're like, I fucking hate that kid Jake Paul. I don't care. Yeah. He's gonna make tens of millions of dollars doing this boxing thing because you hate him. He probably already made tens of millions. And just for numbers sake, you said 1.5 million pay-per-view

buys. If that's a true number, that would make it the 12th highest pay-per-view box ever. And that's comparing to the floyd mayweather fights this is more than tyson fights like this is number 12 in like with the goats so this is the biggest name in boxing right now whether you like it or not and he's not even fighting the elite boxing guys if him and connor square off go go i mean that could be that could be the number one fight so listen if connor beats dustin poor you yeah if connor beats dustin and doesn't fight jake he is wasting money all right guys we're gonna take a break for a second because uh i need y'all to keep your hair and keeping your

hair right now is a fucking choice and if you're losing your hair right now you are choosing to go bald you do not have to make that choice. You can keep that shit. That's what I did, okay, over a decade ago. I decided not to lose my hair and let me tell you something. I've been on this shit and here I am. Maybe I need to comb it,

but it's still on the top of my head to comb and you can also do that with Keeps. Now listen, Keeps offers a simple stress-free way to keep your hair, okay? Convenient virtual doctor consultations and medications delivered straight to your door every three months. You don't have to leave your home. But now that you have a full head of hair, you absolutely will want to, okay?

It's low cost. Treatment starts at just $10 per month and Keeps offers generic versions, discrete packaging, proven results. Keeps has more five-star reviews than any of its competitors. Prevention is key. Remember that. You stop it before it goes. You feel like it's leaving even a little bit, you hop on it immediately.

That shit might be leaving a little bit. I'm going to hop on it. You got to hop on, bro. I'm telling you. Treatments can take four to six months to see results, so you got to act faster. Plan that four to six months in the future. Don't wait until you're bald and think it's going to fucking grow back. I was very lucky where I got some growth back,

but the most effective strategy is to stop it before it's gone, gone, gone. So if you're ready to take action and prevent hair loss, you've got to go to keeps.com slash flagrant to receive your first month of treatment for free. That's keeps.com slash flagrant to get your first month free. keeps.com slash flagrant. get your first month free. K-E-E-P-S dot com slash flagrant. Now let's get back to it. He's literally taking money, lighting it on fire.

Because that is the biggest money fight he can get. Whether Conor likes it or not, the biggest money fight he can get is against Jake Paul. Yeah. I mean, it is unbelievable what this kid has fucking done. Yeah. You might hate him and have a reason to. He's already back starting beef. He's already tweeting. I think they released some footage of Mike Perry and him sparring.

Mike Perry, platinum Mike Perry, UFC fighter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he went in to give some work to Jake. And then Jake, I guess, tweeted something or said something about how, like, you know, Mike Perry admitted that I kicked his ass or whatever. Now Mike Perry's all upset. Mike Perry's trying to get into it. Are they upset or are they excited that he's throwing them in there

and now they want to see if they can get their shot? Maybe. Either way. Because it's a win for Mike Perry to get to fight Jay Paul. Exactly. Even if he loses. And I don't know if his team is doing this. I don't know if his team is doing this.

I always give credit to the person who takes the responsibility. But, like, maybe it's all them. But what you do is you let them all compete. Who can stir up the most shit? Yeah. And whoever stirs up the most shit, this is what the UFC does very well, right? They have rankings, but if you stir up a lot of shit, you get some fights. Yeah.

Kevin Holland was stirring up shit. Kevin got some fights. Now he lost them, but he was stirring it up and he gets rewarded. So what you do is you throw names out there. You throw a Nate Diaz out there. You throw a Planet Mike Perry out there. You throw Tyson Fury's little brother. I forget his name.

He's got another Fury. You throw his name out there. You throw five, six, seven guys out there. Conor, of course. And you see who gets the most gravity. You see what the market dictates. Not only the market, you see what they do with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? So if the market doesn't want it, but

you create the market. Yeah, fair enough. All of a sudden, now we're cooking. Like, when Logan and Mayweather were going to fight, the market wasn't that interested. So they pulled it back, and they're like, okay, we need to generate some interest. Yeah. This motherfucker Jake has generated interest. Yeah, because he's willing, and that's what he has

that, Logan is great, but what he has that logan is great but what he has that logan doesn't have is jake is willing to be hated he doesn't give a fuck logan is captain america yeah logan is is captain america and he wants people to like him and i get that because he's likable yeah and he plays a good good guy he seems like he made one huge mistake and other than that he seems like a pretty good good kid. Yeah. And I actually don't mind having the brothers be one good guy, one heel. That's how it should be. It might be the way to do it. Otherwise, if you're Jake, you are in your big brother's shadow your entire life.

You're just not him. What's the only way to be different is be the heel. If he's Captain America, let me go all the way heel. Especially if you're looking at Logan, you're're like he's really good at being likable he's really good at being like and you're like i don't know if i can do that yeah but i can't be different i can't be weird i can't be antagonistic i can't troll right and the motherfucker found a way within his third fight to make millions of dollars you You show me another boxer that's able to do this, you cannot. Regardless if you like it or not,

he is the biggest name in boxing in terms of money. And you know who made belts worthless? The fucking sanctioning bodies that threw out a million different belts for every single weight. You made the belts worthless. Don't be upset at Jake Paul. Be upset at yourselves. You took away all the value.

When you kept handing it out, it was like a fiat currency yeah we don't care about no fiat currency dogs get slaughtered you got to you got to try to grab cash everywhere this belt that belt that but son isaac as a guy who casually watches i have no clue what any belt means yeah i barely know the weight classes and i know why those have to exist but like multiple belts for a weight class i'm out i don't give a fuck i'm out so regardless if you give a fuck. I'm out. So regardless if you think that he can box or not, you cannot deny he has power. Yes. Ben Askren has been hit incredibly hard by people who hit incredibly hard.

Yes. And Jake Paul hit him and he was concussed while he was standing. He was concussed? He went down. I mean, I assume it's concussion right anytime lights go out right so and don't get me wrong ask her the tough motherfucker got back up and said he was ready to go the referee stopped it i'm not mad at that stop but the point is he hit him with one shot and put him down tko is multiple shots eventually like i can't take anymore one shot lights out

power is a natural thing sometimes people have it sometimes they don't have it there are professional boxers that we all love that don't have one shot knockout power yeah it's just what it is and they've been phenomenal fighters and there are guys that we might have never heard of that have incredible one punch concussive power yeah say what you want about jake he has power right lights out go you don't you're not mad at the early stoppage no why because this isn't a real fight now you could be mad as a consumer because you want blood but in my mind I think that he got hurt

enough he was out on his feet the way that his body fell it looked like he was out of his feet now Astron's tough as fucking nails he's gonna get up I don't think you need to put him through that when like this is not his future this is not his career a short stoppage really affects a fighter who wants to keep fighting in their career because you stole a win from him ask him to do this for money right the guy was fucking brilliant in the in the lead up to this like not only was he generating all

this interest in the fight the guy was doing so many promos yeah like i bet he maybe made just as much fighting as he did in promos a few minutes before the fight he posted a video of him hitting this punching machine in his own locker room yeah cash the check so like you you for me if i'm a ref in that situation i'm going this guy is doing this for fun and for a huge payday it's not worth him getting knocked down again and really doing damage because that's when the damage happens yeah so i don't i'm not upset i don't think people like oh this was rigged this was rigged look at the punch connect it's not right you know what and i don't know you can tell me the form was off or not but before he landed a punch

he threw another overhand right that barely missed and that one i was like he almost knocked him the fuck out right same combo and then got him 10 seconds later i guess same combo but i was like oh this kid has power when i saw that punch miss i was like fuck say what you want about about jake he made an adjustment in the ring this is in the first round of fight askren lands the first punch of the fight yeah jake kind of rushes in askren dips and then hits him with an overhand right i don't think there was much on it but jake gets caught he's a little bit cautious and as askren starts to plot forward he made an adjustment which was really fucking impressive he started throwing this hook as askren came in so askren comes in he's got his hands kind of in front of him a little bit more yeah so jake would throw this hook as he came in and he caught him a few times. And that stopped Askren from coming in as bravely, for lack of a better word, because he knew that there was a cost for coming in. adjustment in real time like that i've i've i've logged a lot of hours sparring okay and when you're

in the heat of the moment you're not thinking okay what can i do different like sometimes between rounds you're like i was getting caught with that how do i avoid that shit a little bit like that and as you do more you maybe get a little more comfortable making those adjustments it was impressive i'm not saying the guy should go challenge for the fucking cruiserweight belt right now yeah but three years in it's impressive and the last thing he should do is fight some boxer that's really good that has no fucking clout he should go after mma guys and he should stay in that world and people who are famous stay in that world cash the fucking checks yeah yeah if you had 1.5 million buys on this one, to get from number 12 to number 3, which is Khabib Conor, you need one more million views.

And you're talking someone like Conor, an international audience. Can I tell you something? You're so close to being number one. The other ones... Let me tell you something. If Jake Paul fights Conor McGregor, you're going to think I'm crazy when I say this. It's the biggest fight in history. Bigger than Floyd and Conor McGregor. You're going to think I'm crazy when I say this. It's the biggest fight in history. Bigger than Floyd and Conor.

The two biggest are, the number one is 4.6 million Pacquiao Mayweather. Second biggest is Mayweather McGregor 4.3 million. Oh, sorry. I'll push back. Then it goes down to 2.5 million which was Khabib McGregor. Let me take this back.

Let me take this back. I take this back. I apologize. I don't think they hit Mayweather, Pacquiao and I don't think they hit Mayweather, McGregor. I think they can beat the 2.5. Agreed. Because you're adding Conor's star power to it. I mean like and

Conor's got to win this fight against Poirier to make that happen. But if he wins that fight against Poirier, he's going in there. He could go in there with Jake, and they could do 2.5 easy. Easy. If Conor loses, what happens? He loses a lot of money. He loses a lot of money.

We were calling sports bars this weekend. They wouldn't even pay for the pay-per-view. This was really driven, I think, by the attention of Jake Paul, his audience, a younger market, Triller fans. You bring in these bars buying these licenses for the- I don't think it was Triller fans. I literally think it was fight fans wanting to see Jake Paul get knocked out. Because, I mean like-

Yeah, I think that was the only community that was really hyped about this fight i was in new york this past weekend not a single person was talking about it like i didn't even watch it because no one was watching it it's it but numbers don't lie yeah no i know so it's like there is an audience that is interested about this but like for example i don't think the black community really cared about this like they didn't even hear about it really and i think that's probably this is the biggest The biggest winner in this was the black community because they were so embarrassed when Nate Robinson got kicked out. Now they're like,

hey, you know what? That's kind of nice. But yeah, I think that's why they did the music plays and some of the picks for the performers to try to gain more. The music thing, just so you know, was their entrance into... Mon monumental waste of

money but it look it wasn't to like supplement the boxing side triller is launching a a high-end live events business so someone look it's a smart play you're saying let's see if we can impress people with both boxing and music at the same time and production wise they they fucked up on on the music side i guarantee the production will look completely different yeah the next time i will say this but they shouldn't like give up i mean they want having the calm like fun loose commentating booth like having them high and joking around and having like the professional commentator i think al bernstein was his name the guy's probably done fights for 40 fucking years and they're hot boxing they're blowing smoke in his face yeah dude having crime faces there shots of crime faces you know crime

faces yeah dude so it's just like i didn't until the fight but he was so funny oh dude he's great you know him you actually know him from his instagram okay what is this okay got you yeah so he said the yes he who do you say jake paul been training in an equinox for the past two years? But yeah, they made it like a fight companion. Bro, yes. Like when Rogan would do the fight companions that like, yo, watch the fight and listen to us talk about it. Ah, yeah. Or listen to some stiff, you know, like announcer or whatever.

Yeah. Just make it loose. It felt like you were hanging with your homies. It felt like a podcast was happening. And then Oscar De La Hoya came on coked out of his fucking mind, dude. Full eight ball to the dome. Botox. Botox out of his fucking mind, dude. Full eight ball to the dome. Botox. Botox out of his mind.

Full eight ball in his nostrils. Started talking shit about the fighters that were fighting. He came on when Steve Cunningham, his name is USS, Steve USS Cunningham, because there's a boat. And he was, I think, in the Navy or something like that. So they call him the USS Cunningham. Yeah. At one point he goes, he was fighting against Frank Mir.

He goes, it's the USSR versus Frank Mir, right? USSR, this is a completely different country that we were at war with, the Cold War, forever, right? Then he starts going, I'm sorry, not USSR, USSA. He was calling him USSA. He didn't even know USA. He was like, Steve, USSA. He didn't even know USA. He was like, Steve, USSA. He was saying he had no chin.

That's why he got knocked out. He was saying the other guy's out of shape. I mean, he kept talking crazy, crazy, crazy shit. And it was so fucking entertaining. Yeah. Just to see this like drunk high person spout off. I was, he saved the night. He fucking saved the night. He said he wants to fight again.

Yeah. He's like, I want to fight. I'm going to fight the top yeah he was saying something super uncomfortable yeah but um i don't want to see that happen at all but i love him being just drunk and coked out of his mind at every single fight just let him go loose who cares who cares it's not real i mean it is real boxing terms like people get fucking hurt but it's not like for the title or anything like that like there's no need to be professional here right like way less like broadcast sanctions and stuff like that like say whatever you want yeah do drugs you know i mean like it's not as uptight as like if espn is doing it or whatever like i mean it felt great yeah it just felt fucking i love that aspect of

it i would love if they just did basically did a live podcast while we watched some other fights go on kind of talked about it, kind of did it. Have a fun group of people there. Enjoy it. And then when the main fight comes on, boom, start talking about it or don't talk about it. The commentary is never driving the fight for us anyway. Right. I love that model.

They actually did a pretty good job. Get rid of the music. Because the early fights, like you said, they were boring. Yeah. And that's when they were just goofing around. Talking to each other. Talking shit. And then once the real fight happened, I don't even remember what they said

yeah cause we're locked in we're just paying attention and you know Snoop is just being so fucking entertaining and charismatic said he bet 2 million on Jake Paul said yeah yeah yeah where's my money Dana he kept doing this he goes I know Dana's a man of his word he's gonna pay his debts you know I love that shit compliment the motherfucker that owes you money

oh yeah he's a part owner in Triller who is Snoop. Is he? Angel. Get it. They better give Jake some of that money, too. They better give Jake building this shit. Yeah. Anyway, one question. Did Ben Askren train at all? Yes. Yes.

The guy came in built like me. I just didn't understand what was happening. He's always been built like you. I've been talking to him a bit, and he was like, he in shape he got fucking caught and it is what it is but he he's never had a great bod he just looked at that way and he just looked like smile on his face it just looked like he was like he knows though he's the machine he's the machine he should be on a fucking russian uh train somewhere like but but the dude was ready he said he came back he felt good he felt he was good in camp and the motherfucker got caught and

he said it earlier he's like if jake paul can box he'll beat me yeah i didn't think it'd be that fast neither did i i don't think he thought that either yeah yeah i said this to you before but i really felt like a ben askren q anon support oh yeah this is hilarious yeah i mean like yeah the whole time i was like oh you know he's got trust the plan you know ben askren's like putting out all these shitty videos i'm like yeah you know you gotta trust the plane he's got a plan yeah and he gets in the ring and he starts getting he got q dropped bro that's what happened yeah but yeah i hear feel the same way because i was like you know i i like him as a person a lot so so funny yeah so i want i wanted him to win because i fucking like him as a person yeah

and uh i just don't know jake that well right so it's like i was bummed in that regard but you got to give credit where credit's due yeah fucking jake jake did it yeah and i love the fact that like ben didn't want doesn't want to be famous he doesn't want to fight anymore after this like he's like i just want to coach famous. He doesn't want to fight anymore after this. He's like, I just want to coach wrestling. I have a wrestling academy. He's worried about his kids. He's like, this is a family friendly. He's a great guy.

Yeah, he's a fucking great guy. So it makes you feel a little bit better that you're like, oh, he got the bag. He made more money in that fight than he ever made in a fight in his whole fucking career. And he gets to walk away, and he's okay. He's happy. Family's good.

It sucks when you really love a fighter, and then they lose in devastating fashion, and you know their career is affected. Yeah, but he's okay. He's happy. Family's good. It sucks when you really love a fighter, and then they lose in devastating fashion, and you know their career's affected. Yeah, but he's not a boxer. Exactly. He's done. He's retired from whatever. We got to get Ben on the pod.

We got to get Ben on the pod. He's great. It's interesting to see what's going to happen in boxing, man. I am very excited to see what's next for Jake. Did Jake change boxing? If you're a young boxer do you look at this differently like oh let me keep being nice at boxing get famous doing other shit yeah and then when i box now i'm gonna draw automatically uh i would say a young boxer is

probably gonna lean more into calling people out trolling like we it's nice to be like friendly and like everybody's like having fun and like handshakes and shit yeah but that doesn't drive interest right you know you gotta be a character you kind of got to be a character and like beef is is is really good for that yeah and like anytime there's a fight like just think about it you hear two people yelling outside of a store all of a sudden you're like wait what's going on yeah right like immediately you're just like i want to see what's happening here what is going we are drawn to it you want people to come over the easiest way to do it is create some fucking beef some drama especially in fighting because

you know there's gonna be a payoff you know i mean like other things like it's like all right what are you gonna really yeah you're just gonna talk mad shit and nothing's gonna happen when fighting is like oh no they could actually fight yeah this is what they do yeah there was a funny moment where uh jorge mazudal was talking shit to uh to ben askren and uh ben i think said like on the podium or something he was just like we're gonna fight in a cage like today where you can do anything there's no rules we'll be able to do that like if i see you in the halls i'm gonna beat you up just wait two days and we'll do it for money right like that is kind of funny when boxers say they're gonna fuck people up like outside of the fight yeah it's just like why would you do that yeah you

could film it yeah it's like a porn star fucking without the cameras do you know what i mean you want to come over and fuck like are we filming like this is what we do money on the table we have a shoot in 36 hours let's go swallow and come for nothing what an idiot like their porn stars swallow and come for free yeah that's the ultimate compliment you get a porn star just swallow.

We did over a million views in the first week which was unbelievable and that's just on the video platforms and then also the fucking streams are crazy so we were actually top 200 uh country song in the world

that's so we were 182 at one point we might have even gone higher but uh but yeah we just want to say thank you so much opener up is fucking doing it i got a video of uh this dude i forget his his handle but he was playing it he's a dj and he was playing it yeah and uh the crowd was just looking absolutely clueless and uh it was so fucking funny but yo djs keep playing that shit asshole army they'll figure it out son they're gonna figure it out this goes as far as y'all want to go so if y'all want be the summer banger, then bang that shit as much as you possibly can. First time they played Michael Jackson, people didn't know what it was.

That's a fact. Right? Well, yeah. Jackson 5. They were like, what is this? First time they played Jackson 5, people didn't know what it was. Exactly.

Why are these kids singing? Yeah. That's what they were thinking. That's what they were thinking about us. Why are these kids singing? Or y'all. Well, bro, I don't know. I'm just very proud that

was uh my goal for the views and uh now my next goal is number one country song in the world so we got to open her up and uh that's just what it is so we're gonna have to we're gonna have to do it and i think the place that needs to spearhead this movement is uh ontario canada oh yes yeah a few canadians in it my family's there. They are miserable. What's going on? Son, they are... It is unbelievable what's happening right now. Yeah. It's unbelievable what's happening right now in Canada.

They're locked down yet again. I guess they can't get vaccines, right? Keep that shit... Keep that same energy with your healthcare talks. Keep your same energy with your fucking healthcare talks next time around. All right? We're going to remind you of this whole shit.

I think they can't get it because we aren't sending them. Yeah, some shit like that. Miles was trying to explain it. Yeah, like we snatched a bunch when we were like, oh, whoa, whoa, we actually need them shits.

Yeah. Yeah, we call dibs, I think. Mm-hmm. When you make the shit, you get to call dibs. Yeah, we say shotgun. And what the fuck is Bernie Sanders

talking all this shit? In Canada, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They don't need those drugs. They need the vaccine and they don't got them now. Bernie's quiet right now about how cheap this shit in Canada. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They don't need those drugs. They need the vaccine, and they don't got them now. Bernie's quiet right now about how cheap drugs are in Canada, how much a vaccine goes for, how much a Johnson & Johnson. We about to send you

to Johnson & Johnson's. Is that the one that's fucked up? We about to send you to Johnson & Johnson's. That's what you gonna get, Canada. Have you all looking like, hey, you guys. We gonna have you looking like, hey, you guys out there. Okay? Anyway, point is ontario's locked the fuck down and i think you need to open her up full lockdown yo it's on some like

nazi shit almost they basically have given cops the authority to just stop cars and like ask them for proof that they have permission to leave the house you're out past like eight o'clock you have to have a valid reason you can get fined like five grand immediate fine right there it's unbelievable what they're doing to these people when and this is the conversation that we got to start to have right is that you have places like texas florida fully open people going to sporting events and numbers are going down yeah at what point does the lockdown become anti-science. Their argument this whole time is, we trust the science. We trust the science. Motherfuckers is out there.

No lockdown. No mask. My girl did a Barry's Boot Camp this morning. No masks in the class. Whose science is right? Say what? You couldn't go because of your arm? Yeah, man. Not going to be picking up the heavies? No, I can't pick up the heavies, bro. I got to do double tread.

I can't switch and do them weights, dog. So at what point does it become anti-science? I think there might be something to places with warm weather have less cases of corona, period. But if that's the case, you got to look at why. Is it just vitamin D? I bet everybody take fucking supplements for a month or whatever and then we just live and open it up.

Like figure out, you can't just look at one aspect of the science and be like, all right, well we got to lock down. Yeah. Look at the whole picture. It's not, doesn't seem that hard to me.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just mind boggling to me, man, especially with Canada. And I don't know if we were talking about this on Patreon, but like these motherfuckers get three weeks of sunshine,

dog. Yeah. Like that's literally what they get. Like summer is short in Canada. Yeah. Like very short. very short i mean i'm being sarcastic but i'm actually not we're talking about two months where it's like legit summer and then it's back yeah and even at the end of summer it starts to get a little cool so they need summer yeah these people have been locked down for a year they're gonna go fucking crazy yeah i don't feel the same way about like texas or florida if you want to lock them down these people have like houses with pools

and shit it doesn't really feel like lockdown in canada Texas or Florida. If you want to lock them down, these people have like houses with pools and shit. It's not really feel like lockdown in Canada. You live in Ontario. You are in an apartment building for a fucking year, 13 months, 14 months, 15 months. If they come back to next fall, next winter, people are going to kill themselves out there. You're going to have more deaths from suicide, alcohol, depression than you will from coronavirus. I mean, we're already seeing how crazy shit is after lockdown in America. Shit is nuts. Oh, you mean like

partying? Partying. Fucking everybody's out there whiling. The whoring 20s, that's what they call it. I think it's backfiring a little bit in Canada because they've been in lockdown so long, they're having a lot of house parties. Like I see a lot of house parties. Which makes it even worse.

You gotta also think about that. Because people are in close quarters. It can't just be one solution. Oh, cases are up. Lock everything down. You can't do the same shit four times in a row if it hasn't worked. You know what I mean? It didn't work the first time. It didn't work the second time. Hey, let's keep doing it. The science. No, science says if a fucking experiment fails,

you try something else. You tweak it somehow. That's the science. So you can't just go, hey, the science. Let's go back to the first thing that fucked up. They did tweak it, though. They made it harder. They made the lockdown more restrictive. Like, they pushed up the curfew time.

To your point, they did tweak it where they were like, all right, it didn't work last time. Let's make it more strict. Yeah. And it is crazy to see a place like Canada. And I'm not trying to insult them as liberal cucks. Government overreach, bro. place like canada and i'm not trying to like insult them as liberal cucks but like government overreach bro it it is it is interesting though because like they are a far more compliant culture

than americans are right like americans you tell us to do anything we say fuck you we grab a gun and then we go to the state country is legit born in rebellion this country yes it's in our blood in our dna and the people that come here rebelled from their countries yeah that's all we are is a bunch of fucking rebels so if you try to get us to do anything we're gonna lose our fucking mind okay canada not the same right like i've said this plenty of times before but they still got the queen on their money like they're really not giving much pushback right like you got the queen on your money like push back on that bare minimum yeah bare minimum. Bare minimum.

So the fact that they're reaching their breaking point, the fact that I got people in the fucking DMs nonstop going, yo, it's crazy what's happening right here, right now. And I'm talking about liberal concern. It doesn't matter. We're not talking about like the oil parts of Canada. It's getting into like the scary zone where people are like, yeah, it's like I didn't think that our government would do this to us. And that was the trust that they had in their government. And what's really interesting is like, what, how did they get out of this? Because the trust they had in their government was, I'm going to trust, it's like a babysitter. I'm going to trust you with my kids. Don't molest them. Yeah. The second the babysitter touches the kids, you don't trust no babysitters anymore ever.

Yeah. Right. You broke the trust. And that's what they had with the, with their government. They're like, Hey, we'll do anything you say, because we trust that you have our best interests at heart. And to be fair to Canada, for the most part, they did throughout history. At least for their country. I can't look at these like, and of course, how they treat Native Americans. And I'm sure how they treated people of color has been fucked up. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about like, give us your tax money and we'll make sure school's affordable.

Give us your tax money, we'll make sure you have health care like they had a pretty good symbiotic relationship yeah this is egregious and i don't know if you could rebound from this yeah i think that i think you just created some rebels bro i think you just created you have you a family there right a whole majority in toronto and they're with trudeau right now who's a liberal before they were with harper it doesn't matter what side you're on. You still supported the system of like Canada, healthcare for the most part and just everything that was going on.

Not anymore. Not anymore. I'm telling you. Mark, you're Canadian. Yeah. That's the thing. Wow, you're Canadian, huh? Yeah, I'm fucking liberal. My dad's Canadian. I'm a liberal cuck. I'm cucked out. No, but it? Yeah, I'm fucking liberal, dude. My dad's Canadian. I'm a liberal cuck, dude. I'm cucked out.

No, but it's like, I'm assuming that all of the measures are actually enforced. Like, even being in New York, we had, like, curfews and stuff like that. People would call me being like, man, it must be crazy, right? Yeah. I mean, like, the rule is you can't go out, but, like, you can go out. Yeah, it's like jaywalking. Yeah, I'm walking up the street. You know what I mean?

Like, it wasn't actually really enforced. So I'm assuming that in Canadaada it actually is enforced the things we're hearing about are as bad as they actually are but like that's one thing that i'm like i need to be sure on but i don't know it just seems like it's those types of lockdowns that people are like nah it's not gonna get bad until it's bad and like this is part of the conversation like we were having here is like it gets bad and then people are locked in their houses getting fined for going outside assuming that's what's actually happening yeah yeah i don't know it's frustrating like it's a good example of like how things can creep up and like how people can actually be restricted by governments going crazy with power

yeah what is interesting though is india is on a full lockdown the guise of safety by the way that's the that's the trickiest thing yeah and it is safe always under the guise of safety by the way that's the that's the trickiest thing yeah and it is always under the guise of safety we're doing this to protect you we're doing this to protect you well i don't necessarily think they have nefarious intentions but i do think it's just they just look at a thing one way yeah and they're like all right all right well that didn't work the first time let's do more of it and it's like bro you should be more creative thinkers a year later they have to be having a different answer less saying like okay let's just lock up the vulnerable. You're out.

And that's what at least you should be to a point. They won't say it. They don't want to say it. It might not be nefarious. I'm not saying that the government is trying to control their people and hurt them. They're legitimately trying to treat the problem. But the solution is by restricting people's freedoms and not letting people go out. And it is working probably.

Numbers are probably going down because people are trapped in their house for 16 hours. Yeah, that's going to make numbers go down. And it's going to affect a lot of other shit, but it's going to make numbers go down. So like if that's their only objective, then they're probably succeeding

in that regard. But to me, it's like an infringement on like human liberty and like what human beings are supposed to be doing. Bro, at a certain point in time, you can't,

you're going to break a human spirit, bro. Especially, you know, because that's the thing. It's like if everybody's locked down, we've spoken about this earlier when it came to like doing stand-up again right yeah like we're sitting around i think it was all of us but we're just like yo do you guys like miss stand-up and we're like yeah i miss it but like no one else is doing it so it's kind of okay yeah right you know like it almost feels like a christmas like when everybody's not working i don't feel any pressure

to work yeah but if i'm just taking a random thursday off i'm like whoa is everybody out there getting it yeah and i'm missing you know so like i feel like the fact that texas is open as fuck florida is open like you're seeing your sports team you're the toronto raptors you're seeing people at the stadium for your sports team and you can't even leave your house yeah that's when shit starts to drive you a little crazy daily death rate across the entire country yesterday's 32 people this whole last two weeks it's been under 100 it's never but it's usually based on like hospitalization and and when the hospital numbers get to a certain extent yeah beds and all of that but they're still you know who's vulnerable you need to start focusing on protecting those doug ford you need to call up fucking texas

professor x what's that motherfucker's name oh shit abbott you need to call up abbott and you need to find out what the fuck he's doing over there and also shouts to his daughter his daughter's kind of a pig oh really yeah bro it's kind of a pig kind of a pig she might not yeah yeah yeah yeah nah dude she got a rig bro whoa really i don't know she got the full rig yeah she got a rig dude jordan used that when we were working i used that term and i guess i was like yeah that's a cool term. That's cool. Canadians got weird slang. They got weird slang. Yeah, because all the slang has to do with workout things.

Beauty, did he say that to you? Beauty. What? He says that to me all the time, beauty. I'm like, what's beauty? Am I beauty? Oh, like the move that you did was beautiful. Yeah, yeah, but he won't say beautiful, he'll just say beauty.

Yo, did you just change the topic from tits to you working out? Speaking of tits, I was working out today. Speaking of tits, mine ain't say beautiful. He'll just say beauty. Yo, did you just change the topic from tits to you working out? Speaking of tits, I was working out today. Speaking of tits, mine ain't going nowhere. What's the problem? What is that? So, yeah, crack that bitch open.

I love that they're extending it, but it's also so insulting that the Chimp Nipple Sauce Monkey governor can go, you can stay out till 9 now. I mean, they're still doing it here. That's my point.

They just extended the curfew here in Miami. What do you mean? This weekend, it just got extended. There was a curfew in Miami. Everything shuts down at midnight. You can be out, but everything shuts down. Yeah, but that's why they did it, right? Spring break is done. Oh, they did the curfew for spring break.

No, no, no. They had it. They had it to a certain point, but they weren't going to lift it during spring break. What type of liberal car is that? Florida. Mark, you got an explanation? There was no curfew. There wasn't a curfew. what type of liberal car yeah listen listen

That's a real Sophie's choice of racism. Yeah. Homophobic racist is seized like Montero. What's his name? Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X.

A homophobic racist seized the Lil Nas X video. First thing he comments on. I think it's F and the F precedes the N. Really? So it goes reverse alphabetical. That's just like vowels. F before N except after C. Really?

I think so. I can see it, though, because even like a super racist dude sees. I can see it, though, because they're going, oh, because I believe in God. According to God. What? According to what God said. Yeah. You didn't read what God said, bro?

Enough of all that. Dove, we're assuming that everything you're doing is by the book. Okay. The Bible, that book. The Bible, yeah. Which one? Not the game. The real Bible, not the prequel that you guys got.

Oh, shit. Take that. Take that. What about the graphic novel you guys have? That's a great point, bro. That's just like fan fiction. You know it because he's making a graphic novel yeah get some fucking words bro oh wait a minute that's why you know that was brilliant i

think you're talking about kama sutra no no no no it's actually pretty fire before there was marvel there was dove is gonna make a movie about one of the- Series. A series. Too many gods to just be one movie, bro. That's a good ass point. Back to what we were saying, which I forgot what the fuck it was. Oh, so the reason why we're in Florida is because we put our faith in the leadership down here to keep shit open so we can continue living our lives and conducting our business. Yes. And I thought that it'd be a good idea that we sit down and have a conversation with some of the leadership down here in Miami that is keeping this open so people can keep their jobs and continue to thrive and make the entire world come down to Miami during this crazy, tough time.

So Dove was able to reach out and connect us with the mayor of fucking Miami. So without further ado, let's talk to Mr. Mayor Suarez. Guys, we're very excited. We have an extremely special guest today. We have the mayor of the free world. That's what we're going to call you. The mayor of the free world. Far more handsome on Zoom.

I have to admit, eyebrows looking immaculate. We have the mayor of the city of Miami, the greatest city in the world right now, the most livable city in the world. And I think the city that has the most potential in the entire world, Mayor Suarez, thank you so much for joining us. Well, I couldn't agree with you more. My eyebrows are real. And I just want to be upfront and say that we believe that Miami is going to be the capital of capital. We agree that, yeah, that's it, that we're going to, we're going to be the place where the dreamers and the doers can do and dream in the future. So it's an exciting time for us. I love it. Okay. I'm Andrew, by the way, this is Akash. We also got Mark, the truffle and

Miles in the room. But basically, my question for you this, let's just start right here. I moved five of my guys and their families from New York to Miami because I believed in the leadership in Miami. Okay? We wanted to get back to our business. Obviously, we do podcasts. We also do stand-up. And I came down here for you. I didn't know who you were, but I was like, somebody down there gets it. Okay. I really love what's going down here. We fell in love with the city. We're planning on moving back to New York in June.

Why should we not? Wow. There's so many reasons why you shouldn't, but I'm going to start with the three most basic ones. Okay. The first is while cities like New York and a lot of cities in California are raising taxes and New York is on the precipice of passing a budget where they're going to raise taxes yet again, which is insane. We in the city of Miami who don't have an income tax, not at the state level, not at the city level, We're actually reducing taxes every year.

In fact, under my watch, we've reduced taxes to the second lowest level since the 1960s. Secondly, while cities across America are defunding their police, we are increasing funding in our police. We have the most police officers we've ever had in our history. We reduced crime last year by 25%. The year before that, we had the lowest homicide rate since 1954. We have 555 homeless in the entire city. Cities like New York and San Francisco and California have tens of thousands. They've refused to prosecute what they consider

petty crimes, which means that crime is rampant. And stick ups, you know, people stealing, stealing things, breaking into cars breaking into homes is through the roof. And then I think the third reason why is probably the most important, which is, I haven't found a person that can figure out a way to live yesterday again. So that means you better be really confident that the place you're living in is the best place on the planet, right? So you better be pretty confident that the place you're living in is the best place on the planet. And we feel pretty damn confident that that's what Miami is. And we feel that way because we're

investing in all of the things that people would want to experience. We have incredible restaurants. We have, and you've experienced this already. So you know this, I'm telling you what you already know. We have incredible restaurants. We have incredible cultural we have, and you've experienced this already. So, you know, this, I'm telling you what you already know. We have incredible restaurants. We have incredible cultural facilities, art centers, uh, science museums, uh, you know, art museums. We have probably one of the best private art galleries in the, in the world. Yeah. Best art festival in the world.

We have all the sports offerings. We're about to get MLS got willing in Miami and formula one with the only city in the world that has all the major sports franchises plus MLS and Formula One. So it's just the real question is not why would you want to stay in Miami? The real question is how could you be crazy enough to leave? I love it. Okay. All right.

Fair enough. I do have a question, though, and maybe this is an ignorant question, but hopefully you can explain it to me. Maybe there's some other people out there who also feel. By the way, in the summers, I don't know if you're single or married or what, what your status is. I'm married. So I'm happily married 14 years. But in the summers, there's this thing called the beach and it's a really cool place to go, particularly if you're single and you get to experience another part of miami's beauty the warm water of course yeah yeah yeah the uh the not so nice in the world okay so we come here for the summer we check out that beauty now here's my question

how is it that some cities need robust taxation to function and some cities or states don't? Why can you guys function without all these taxes? But in New York, I'm just getting screwed by taxes. You know, they just have it wrong. We and I'll tell you this. We are blessed in a way because we were traumatized. And what was our trauma? Our trauma was that pretty much everybody here in Miami or a lot of people here were kicked out of a communist country. And the communist

experiment is goes a little something like this charismatic leader convinces everyone in the country that all they need to do is give all their property and all of their possessions and all of their businesses over to the government. And the government will handle it all. They'll make sure that everybody's equal and that everyone gets their fair share. There's nobody rich, there's nobody poor. And that is one of the biggest frauds perpetuated on humanity. And it's been perpetuated over and over and over again, because it's very appealing. If you're someone who grew up in a difficult neighborhood, if you're someone who is struggling to get by, it's really appealing when a leader comes to and says, Hey, I'm just going to take all the money

away from the rich people. And I'm going to spread it around, around the poor people and everybody's going to be equal and everything's going to be great. Unfortunately, what's happened in the history of humanity is that every time it's been tried, the only equality that's produced is equal misery, right? So time capsule of the 1960s when uh when you know when when capitalism went away venezuela second wealthiest country in the world now 90 of the people live below the poverty level so you know the communism is effective it's effective at destroying our countries and destroying uh probably the most the single most important thing that we all have as human beings which which is hope. Hope for the future.

I have one question, though. Isn't it true that communism creates some pretty smoking hot babes? I don't know. I mean, I guess in Miami, if you say that, you know, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, I'm just saying, cross-continental. Wherever communism goes, hot chicks come, so it's good for something. They're not living there anymore. They're living in Milan.

They're living in Miami. Well, capitalism gets them out. I mean, we're definitely going to find a way to extract all the resources from a resource-rich place, 100%. But communism has been good in just that regard. But I hear you. Maybe we should push back against communism. Okay, so it's selling a lie. And right now, I guess you're saying like the people in New York, since we haven't experienced

that or a lot of our families haven't come from those places, like my mom comes from Scotland, right? She didn't experience communism. She doesn't know what to push back against. So she's like, yeah, let's give a little bit more. Let's give it a little bit more. And eventually we give so much that there's misery is the only option. That's what potentially people see. Yeah. I mean, I think what happens is when you start

getting to the point where you're paying 57%, 60% for every, every marginal dollar that you produce, you're only making 40 cents. It's a huge disincentive to be productive. Number one, number two, the people who are wealthier, like I'm out of here. They can go wherever they want. The wealthy people can go wherever they want. They can go to Puerto Rico. They can go to Miami. They can go to Bahamas. They can go to wherever they want Switzerland, right? They can go anywhere. So they're going to go to places where it's hospitable. And then the third thing is when you have cities like New York and other cities in California that are pushing out innovators. When Amazon, you know, created the HQ2 competition and they awarded one of the two HQ2s to New York, everybody's like, well, maybe New York's not dead after all, you know? And then all of a sudden they pushed out HQ2. I was like, oh my God, this is insane. How could you push out 50,000 high paying

jobs in a community? That's just crazy. And it's, it's negligent. You know what I mean? In terms of those 50,000 people that would have had high paying jobs, those families that would have benefited from it, all the downstream of benefits, the restaurants and, and, and, and small businesses that benefit from, from a big company like that coming into a community. You saw the same thing in San Francisco. One of the council women tweeted out F Elonon musk and you know what i must say message received and he took off and he's out of there yeah and aoc with the heavies was obviously doing that in new york and uh caused a little bit of a problem there okay so um you've got us convinced obviously

with the taxation i don't think anybody wants to pay more taxes. I don't think that a single person on the planet would like to give away more money. And if they do want to give away their money, they want to decide where it's going. 100% sure. You said something interesting where you wanted to create a Bitcoin hub. Yes. Out of Miami. We're crypto cowboys.

I don't know if you know that. We're crypto cowboys, dude. So when you said you wanted a crypto hub, I was all on board board i also don't know what that means yeah what does that mean crypto hub can i pay for lap dances at 11 with bitcoin you don't do that right now pay what like right now i have to plead the fifth um so i i what i will say is you know look we want to be on the cutting edge of tomorrow's technology and you know when you when you talk about tech which is a bigger and bigger part of our of our world of our life right everything that we have is tech-based just the fact that we're doing this podcast right now using a variety of technologies, just gets more and more tech focused.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and blockchain are a huge component of the next generation of tech, in my opinion, my humble opinion. I was on the blockchain task force and a blockchain foundation way before I tweeted out, how can I help? And so I've been following and tracking this technology for a long time. And I just felt like it was a very easy win for Miami to come out and say, hey, we're going to be on the forefront of this new technology. And we're going to invite people like yourselves to come here and feel welcome

and be able to innovate in a city like ours. And what better way to do that than in a space where there's a huge interest, where it's extremely positive, where people are very bullish and excited about it, and where it's trying to become mainstream. So I wanted to be part of that wave and I wanted to be in early. And that's why we did what we did.

We've seen a trend where the most successful modern cities have a combination of two things, tech and gaze. You got tech coming in. How do we bring the gaze? You got tech coming in. How do we bring the gays? Oh, Miami has a tremendously large population of diverse population of, of all kinds of people. Not just, not just, uh, you know, people are, I said, not just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not just, no, we have a, we have a very robust LGBTQ community. It's part of who we are. It's part of our identity. And it's not just that. We have a tremendous amount of diversity from Caribbean nations, African nations, Latin America, South America. I mean, it's Europe. It's really an incredibly cosmopolitan city. Now, one question off of what you guys are just talking about, making this a tech hub, moving Silicon Valley to Miami. Silicon Valley money is great. Silicon Valley people, their culture is trash and they tend to ruin the cities they go to. San Francisco sucks now. Austin's going to get ruined. How does Miami keep its culture while allowing in tech money, tech jobs, tech business? Well, I think it's a variety of ways. First,

you hope that the people that are coming are kind of traumatized, like we were traumatized when we left Cuba, you know, in terms of you wouldn't want to perpetuate the same policies and the same quality of life issue that you left from, right? The whole idea is if you left something, you don't want to replicate it where you're going, right? You want to go to something better and different. So we're hoping that as people come, like when they came from Cuba, that they wanted to create a more perfect city. And that's what we've been focused on trying to do for decades. I think the second part is we as a community have to reestablish our identity and talk about who we are and why it's important for them to know who we are and to integrate into Miami as we know it. And so I think that's and the beauty of Miami is 70% of the

people from Miami were not born in Miami. I'm one of the few that was actually born here. I'm the first mayor of Miami in 125 year history of the city. I was born in the city. So yes, sir. So, you know, I mean, that's pretty cool, but, but, but yeah, it's, it's, it is not unusual for us. We're an immigrant sort of a city. It's not unusual for us to have people from, from, from outside coming in. It's not like a weird thing for us. We're an immigrant sort of a city. It's not unusual for us to have people from outside coming in. It's not like a weird thing for us. I've been speaking to people in Florida, right? And people who work service jobs, people who work the specific jobs that were not allowed to work in New York, for example. work in New York, for example. And they spoke about the politicians in Florida with this amazing gratitude. I've never heard people speak about politicians with gratitude ever in my life,

but they were so grateful that they could go to work. They were so grateful that they could literally serve food at a restaurant and be able to like feed their family. Right. And I'm curious about the decision that you guys made to keep things open that was risky i mean you're kind of rolling the dice was there any trepidation were you ever like if we get this wrong it's it for us yeah well first of all it's a huge humbling and honoring honorable experience to be sitting at a restaurant and have uh one of the servers uh waiters waitresses come up to you and tell you mr mayor thank you so much i'm here for the view i'm so grateful um i'm able to provide for my family and i think part of the problem

with the conversation on covid was there was a variety of false narratives one of the false narratives was you either care about protecting people's lives or you don't care about protecting people's lives. So you only had two choices. You can only be put into one of two boxes. You either cared about people's lives, in which case you have to do all these things, close all these things, do all these things,

or you don't care about people's lives. And that's not the way I looked at it. And when I would be in these conversations with the epidemiologists, whether they be national or local, I would tell them, wait a second, here's the way I look at it. There's human suffering on this end with COVID. And then there's human suffering on this end economically with the shutdown and all these things. So you cannot create a false equivalency where this one is greater than this one.

No, no, no. They're both equally bad, right? There's no good choice. So what we have to do is we have to protect as many people as we can without harming as many people as we can, right on this ledger. And I think, you know, sometimes the doctors, the epidemiologists, and even the press didn't want to hear it because it didn't fit their preconceived narrative, or they didn't want to, you know, they wanted to get into that box. But, you know, that's what our

job is. Our job is to be a representative of the people, right? It's to figure out what's best for everybody. And that means sometimes making hard choices that maybe not seem popular or not well received by the press at a particular moment, but upon reflection, end up being the right thing to do. Yeah, it was baffling to me when I would see the numbers come in and the New York numbers and then Florida numbers were marginally different with extremely different policies. And it was baffling that New York just wouldn't open it up. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what to say about that.

I mean, they, you know, again, I think that wasn't just New York. I mean, and part of the reason why people were coming, part of the reason was we were open, right? A big part of it was because we were open. So people were coming because we were open. People were coming because of remote work. So they could actually work from Miami and not suffer any sort of economic risk from leaving the place that they were at. And part of it was just the taxation and the weather. I mean, it was just everything. The way I look at it is people ask me, well, what, what, you know, what, what made this happen? I said, well, look, it's a lot of things that made it happen.

It's every fall that went on the camel's back that ultimately made this moment happen. The real reason we're here is Andrew ate a meal in the cold in New York, dead serious. I don't know what he told you. He flattered you. But he actually ate a meal and his hands got cold, and he said, we're coming to Florida. I can tell you the exact moment. I was eating a meal, and a gust of wind went up under my North Face jacket. And in that moment,

I sent a text to the group and I go, we're moving your families to Florida. All right, I'm done. I love it. I have a question based on what you...

The cold can do that to you, man. You wouldn't know. You'd know nothing about the cold. I don't want to know my friend i want nothing to do with that dude we're taking you to new york you see back here this is not a virtual background yeah okay oh my goodness how about a flex neither is this okay um i have a question based on what y'all were talking about new york mishandled the pandemic i think california completely mishandled the pandemic you're trying California completely mishandled the pandemic.

You're trying to take San Francisco's business. You could also take Hollywood's business. To me, there's no reason Miami can't be the next Hollywood. You got good looking people. You got great weather. Everything LA has, less taxes. What would you, would you be interested in bringing that here? And what would you do for studios or whatever?

I would. And I'm not a huge guy into subsidies, but I do think that there's a room for us to have film subsidies that are at least equivalent to, if not a little bit better than what the, what the market is. Cause like you said, I think, I think we are a natural destination, but no one is going to make a movie. It's going to cost them an extra 10, $15 million somewhere else. So what we've learned is, is we have to compete on that level. And I'm not sure, sure right now, our legislature wants to do that, but if they did, I would be a hundred percent supportive of it. We lost a lot to Georgia, a tremendous amount to Georgia in terms of filming.

And, and listen, I, and I, I like, I like Atlanta. I like Keisha. She's my friend, but you can't compare Atlanta to Miami. Let's go. Well, listen, we, we, we know we don't have all your time so I want to do a little lightning round with you we always do go well what is that some construction what are you building back there I'm building up the weather that's all all right ready lightning round you are a hero in Miami okay you won your election with 86 percent of the vote that is like middle eastern dictator levels right there okay so my question to you is can you get me a reservation at carbone for four people on monday yes no doubt we're staying boys we're staying in miami okay two when you were the commissioner of District 4,

you wanted to be connected to the people. You gave out your personal cell phone number to the citizens of that district so that they could contact you at any time. Approximately how many dick pics did you receive? Is that the size of what you were getting or is that the number

actually now that i think about it oh just kidding district four stands for inches okay you are a proud cuban american do you still live with your parents i'm married with two children if i live with my parents i'd have some major issues no i don't okay do you live with your wife's parents i'm not gonna even go there no i live i live i do not live with them but i'm not gonna go there okay all right i'm very happily married 14 years okay my last and final question miami is truly amazing we absolutely love it here we extended the amount of time that we were going to be here because we love it so much but why is south beach the worst place on earth

because we had all of america's tourists at the same moment. You can just say New Yorkers. It's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can just say it. Everybody, all the things that you saw, we had $50 flights, $50 hotels. It was the only place open in America, and everybody had the week off.

Yeah. It was a recipe for disaster. So what you're saying is we need to stagger out spring break. And thankfully, I'm not the mayor of Miami Beach. Ah. That's right. That's right. That's right.

Yet. Okay. We're working on it. We're going to try to get you up to New York, to be honest with you. With those dictator numbers, you know, I could run for anything. Francis, thank you so much. We appreciate you. Before you go, we've enjoyed our time here.

How can we help you? We have a pretty big platform. We want to know what we can do to help you because you've honestly done an amazing job with your city. Well, thank you. First of all, I keep telling the Miami story. That's the most important thing. If you don't tell your story, somebody else is going to tell it.

You're not going to like their version. Please boost my social media. I'm at Francis Suarez on Twitter, at Mayor of Miami, and at Miami Mayor, depending on whether it's Instagram or Twitter. So check me out, follow me on those, because that gives me a broader platform and a broader voice to be able to express what I think is this incredible, incredible generational moment, this tectonic shift in the way that our world is going to work and the way people are going to live and where they're going to choose to live. And I think we're going to come out on top of that, of that discussion. Well, we're excited. We support you. And yeah, man, I look forward to the rest of your career.

If there's anything you need help with, you let us know. All right, my man. Yeah. Thank you. A lot of fun. Thank you so much. Thank you. God bless. All right, guys, that was Mayor Suarez suarez yo go shout him out on twitter shout him out on instagram show him a lot of love if you appreciate uh that he's kept miami open and you appreciate that he's made it so these doors uh have been open to us and we've come down here go shout him out man uh because it does take balls to do what he's doing you know so there's a lot of politicians that are you know erring on the side of caution and they just shut everything the fuck down because they're worried about their political careers.

And these motherfuckers took a risk and it is paying the hell off. So we appreciate it. So go give them a shout out right now. What is his social? He's Mayor Suarez or something like that? No, he goes under the government accounts of Mayor of Miami. So go on Instagram. He's great on Instagram.

You'll see. He really is a man of the people is at all these events and definitely isn't the mayor of south beach so oh yeah he don't fuck with got out of that he did say go to the beach though yeah i love the heavy's reference uh throw it in there throw it in there well done um anyway yo so thank you so much to the mayor. We really appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. And yeah, we're ready for him to become governor and then president one day. And then that's our guy.

You know what? He's my guy. Remember when he was just like, why does God be one or the other? Why you got to shut down or not care about human lives? Yeah. That was when I was like, this guy's great. Exactly. He agreed that AOC had the heavies.

And he did agree. Right? He did agree. And he's a crypto cowboy. I don't know if he agreed. I don't even know if he knew what the heavies were. No, but he knew. But do you think he did? Duff doesn't think he did. He's trying to maintain

a relationship. Good job, Duff. Trying to get invited to the White House. Hey, you guys. Did you see what the mayor of New York has been up to recently? No. Yo, you see that thing of Yang when a dude asks him? He's like, can you choke a bitch with your tins during sex? Wait, what?

Wait, you haven't seen this video? No, I saw him get kicked out of that rally. He was at a Black Lives Matter rally, and they booed him. Bro, literally. I'm tired of these motherfuckers. Yo, why? Because you wouldn't let them get their fifth house, this motherfucker? Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Hold on. There's so many things going on. Andrew Yang, first of all, get this video up. This dude is asking him. I think Charlotte posted on his Instagram. But the dude asked him, yo, is it okay to keep your Tims on when you're like choking a bitch during sex or something like that? And he answered the question super diplomatically.

I think it was brilliant. Like he goes, I think that's between you and the girl. I think that if she's cool with it that's fine and then the guy kept on going and he laughed and of course the people who do not want andrew yang to be mayor latched onto that shit they're like mayoral candidate andrew yang is laughing at misogynistic humor oh some people make a living doing that and there's nothing wrong with it and it can provide a nice lifestyle. Do you have that video up, Al?

All right, here it is. The realest question that's ever been asked to a mayoral candidate of New York. Can a man keep his Tims on? Can a man keep his Tims on? Yeah. Why he fucking bitches? Can a man keep his Tims on? Oh, my.

I mean, I really think he can. Oh, Lord. I'm in disbelief. I think it's purely up to your partner, right? I mean, if your partner is a fool, that's what I'm saying. I love Andrew Yang, though. You told me to go. All right. Did he hit him with the?

Yeah. He hit him with that. So he goes, can a man keeps the tim's on while he's fucking and i think and then andrew yang diplomatically goes i and first of all i'm annoyed with andrew yang because him and his publicist refused to come on flagrant 2 podcast they're not as brave as we've been yang gang we were yang gang be loyal yo actually i've never been yang gang i'm yang gang bro i don't believe gang Be loyal yo Actually I've never been yang gang I'm yang gang bro

I don't believe in that Give people money And then they vote for your shit Give me money I ain't voting otherwise Say again I ain't voting otherwise You might as well pay me

Alright fair No he's coming on So we were trying to get him on But he's been ducking And there's no way He's gonna do a flagrant interview After this shit That's fucking done

So the guy goes Um Well you guys heard it what do you guys think i thought he handled it brilliantly purely up to your partner that's perfect alliteration the next one is when he goes you choke bitches he goes you choke bitches and he just starts laughing and moving away how do you not laugh at that that's a hysterical thing to ask a future fucking mayor potentially what's he supposed to do hey yo i don't think that's an appropriate question fuck you if you do that yeah then fuck him now if i'm him i would just say i don't think that's an appropriate question. Fuck you if you do that. Yeah. Then fuck him. No, if I'm him, I would just say I wouldn't use that word.

I don't call women the B word or something if I'm him. Right? Like, that's, I think, where people are getting pissed. Well, it depends who you're choking, bro. Maybe his wife. You don't know how that girl identifies. No, it's not choking. Maybe she sees herself as a bitch.

Yeah, it's that. That's my point. What is it? Like, the issue, I think, people are taking with this, they're like, oh, a mayor can't be talking about bitches so he just has to say yeah you can choke whoever if they're consensual blah blah I wouldn't use that word

that's all you gotta say right you sound like a liberal cuck it's one thing if he came to the mayor's mansion no he's going into the streets with people there's gonna be different people talking about different things and he went on this guy's street. This is a young comic of African-American.

How do I get out of this? He was on his block. This guy's trying to make a living, y'all. Fucking bagel bite, dude. And he was on this gentleman's. My deli is right behind there. This gentleman's street. He was on this gentleman's street, which we own all the buildings and

charge an exorbitant amount of rent. Quite he had a place he's on the street for now until you know if people move in and kick him out but uh you know um i don't know i think it's just so corny to like smear yang based on this i think that's whack why are you trying to get yang so hard why do liberals hate yang oh maybe because yang represents and i never thought about this i never thought of him as this before but maybe because yang represents like the kind of bernie clan in a way like he's like yeah let's give universal basic income let's just give fucking money away and maybe the democrats that are kind of like fake democrats like the biden democrats they're not really democrats like socially democrat about some shit but yeah let's just go to war those democrats the kamalas and stuff like yeah maybe they're like yo yo we don't need

the aoc stuff we don't need any of that like what they view as like democratic socialism creeping in i've also seen the other side on twitter criticizing him he made that video in a bodega and everybody's like you don't even that's not even a real bodega he doesn't know what a bodega is shut the fuck up dude you fucking loser he's trying to say support independent business and then he had a tweet series saying like i don't want unlicensed vendors in new york city selling stuff on the streets i want to try to help them get licenses and then the same super far left people were like he's trying to cut off people trying to make a living income blah blah it's like like, Doug, you didn't even read the second tweet he sounds liberal with universal basic

income because he's saying it from the point of view as a pragmatist, he's a, he worked in technology, he's, that's it, so everyone else is like, no, it's a socialist idea, redistribution of wealth all of this, he's just like, this is how you plug the leak, this is how we can get back and make things more fair, but I think

just as a pragmatist, let's not analyze him as anyone that is standing behind a super set of liberal ideas. That's why I love him. He's a robot, dog. And he knows robots are going to take our jobs. He's like, we've got to do something in the meantime. Here's a little money to hold us over. This is what it's going to be. Al? I'm for Ray

Don't treat us like that, bro. Is that who we are to you? In the arms of an angel, bro. You think $1,000 a day sounds pretty nice. That's kind of lit. That's kind of lit? I mean, if he read on that, he might get my book. That's a good lit. That's kind of lit. I mean, if he read on that, that's a good policy.

Yeah, I switched that up, but not, I don't want a thousand dollars if everybody else got that. I want it just me so I can stunt. Right?

Then I can't. Damn. What? Let me tell you something. By the way, no, I'm ready for New York and I do feel New York's going to be back and Miami's starting to get hot. Oh, fuck. Then I can't. Damn. What? Let me tell you something. By the way, no. I'm ready for New York, and I do feel New York's going to be back. And Miami's starting to get hot.

I caught a heat stroke. I was working outside. I was working out outside. That's so annoying. I almost caught a heat stroke, bro. Y'all ever had a heat stroke? It's crazy. Yeah.

No, dude. I almost caught a heat stroke. Which one is the Jewish person here? I almost caught a heat stroke, bro. I literally was working out, and a fucking strokey heat caught me, dude. I almost caught a heat stroke. Which one is the Jewish person here? I almost caught a heat stroke, bro. I literally was working out and a fucking strogy heat caught me, bro. Fucking stroke? I literally almost caught a heat stroke, bro. I was doing the pads.

And then I literally took one hand. I went, oh. I put my pad up on my forehead like that. And a heat stroke got me, dude. While the Jewish guy was inside in the AC. That's how you know he still isn't. Yeah, I was out there, dog. I was out there hitting them pads, bro. Because someone need to check Jake.

we have to recenter ourselves here yeah something's happening in soccer you know we fucking care about soccer any soccer fans right now

are about to be so pissed at this conversation I know for sure shut soccer. Any soccer fans right now are about to be so pissed at this conversation. I know, for sure. Shut the fuck up, soccer fans. Mark came through dressed for the occasion, motherfucker. He's so ready to talk about soccer. Come on. This is my super rule.

Mark, break down what's happening in soccer, and we're going to act like we care. Let's call it football for the rest. No, no, no. I like those energy, but we're going to have to call it football. Only real sports are football. Go. it football. Only real sports are football. Alright. Only real sports are football. Only real sports are football. It's only that one. That's it.

Yo, pitchers in the world, dog. Playing football. That's it. That changed the whole energy of this podcast. It really did. Wow. Alright, so basically in Europe you got... How long do you think Ian Rosen is? I mean, just how long do you think he enrolls me? I mean, I don't even care. Stop listening.

Go, go, go. Number one story in the world, dude. Number one story. Dude, get to it. All right. So basically you have in Europe, you have the national leagues where they play. That's like Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, that kind of thing. You play, you have Spain, you have England, you have France, you have Italy.

Every country has their own league. And then you have a continental tournament or a continental league. It's called the Champions League. And basically all the best teams in every league, the top four teams from every league, will all play each other in a cross-national showdown. Called? Called the Champions League. And it's arguably the greatest sporting league, sporting event outside of the World Cup.

Right. In the whole world. Every year. Better than any other sport.. In the whole world. Better than any other sport. Every year? Every year. More than any other sport. More people watch than any sport ever. I don't believe that. That's true. Religion. The best. Formula 1 is more. Uh-uh. More people watch Jake Paul than

actually. Champions League gotta get Triller, I think. But basically, what happened is all the teams that were making the most money, so it's like Liverpool, Tottenham in England, Arsenal, another team in England, Manchester United, Barcelona, Madrid, and then in Italy it's Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan. Basically all of them were like, yo, we're going to form a super league. Fuck the Champions League.

We're going to make our own money. We're going to stream our own. What about Germany? None of the German teams, none of the French teams went with it. That's the drama. That's the riff. That's part of the drama. So basically they said, look, we're going to make our own league because no one gives a fuck about these other smaller teams. They're not paying

to watch them play. They're paying to watch us play. So we're going to do our own league where we're going to make all of our own money. We're going to stream our own games. And instead of us playing each other every now and again, or maybe risking that we don't make it because we lose to some lower team and we lose out on $200 million to go to the championship, we lose in the group stage to some

random team. We can't risk it, so we're going to start our own league, make our own money, we're going to play our games wherever the fucking highest bidder is going to pay us, and we're going to make all of our own shit. A lot of these teams also, it's important to note, in England are owned by American owners. Oh yeah, like LeBron owns one of them

shits yeah he's like a part owner of liverpool or liverpool and like uh what his name john henry is the red sox owner also owns liverpool okay vice chairman of the super league is like cronky owns like yeah he owns dodgers yeah la he's part of this new league it's like a spanish chairman and then three americans where you're like yeah too many americans on this board but that's because this dude they know how to make money the guy that owns the the holding company that owns the buccaneers owns man united so it's like all the basically these billionaires are like yo fuck the league fuck the tradition of soccer fuck all that shit we're gonna make our own money stream our own games and fuck the fans whatever we're gonna do it however we want to do it so it's kind of like a like like basically a mutiny or like taking over the whole tradition of European soccer by billionaires.

That's the short version. You're the only real soccer fan here. Tell me what's good about this, what's bad about it. I mean, what's good about it from like the position of the clubs is that they're able to then control. Because basically like soccer blows up in Korea, for example, because of Manchester United signs this Korean player and it blows up. This is a few years ago. Park G. Young or something.

Oh. I mean, probably it can, but basically Park. Yeah, it blows up in Korea and Manchester United is like that isn't it. That's his first name. Yeah, he just said it. He's like, oh, yeah. So, for example, he said that shit like he that is his name. That's his first name. Yeah, he just said it. He's like, oh, yeah. So, for example, it blows up. He said that shit like he didn't say it.

Park is his name. He said it with the energy of, I'm correcting you. Park, Park. And I accepted that. Why did I accept that shit? I was like, oh, excuse me. Yes, you're totally right, Park. Liberal cuck-ass.

Yeah, I know. My bad. But basically, they're going to be able to control their own leagues. They're going to be able to control their own games. They're going to be able to make all the money from it. And it's probably going to benefit the players of those teams in a way. They might get a pay raise. And the clubs will be able to make more money for the fans.

They'll be able to watch these, like, you know, the best teams that exist at the time playing each other more frequently. That sort of thing. Yeah. It's like some of the plus sides to it. There might be more residual opportunities that are good. Yeah. For the clubs.

size to it or there might be more residual opportunities that are good yeah uh for the clubs but the negative size is like one it is like sort of like depleting the tradition of soccer in europe so in europe a lot of teams like aren't even necessarily making a ton of money like the majority of teams in england aren't really making a ton of money and they just exist because it's the tradition of the town that the team is in so like in america a lot of the teams like will make money mls all those teams make money. This is a thing that Zlatan actually brought up. He's like, yeah, the MLS makes money. Even though it's not that big, the level's not that good,

all these teams are making money. In Europe, they just do it for the tradition of the game, the love of what soccer is over there. And so doing this is basically going to create way more disproportionate advantage to those teams that are playing in the Super League. Because on top of that, they want to take away the Champions League, but they still want to

play in their national, like, Premier League, Serie A. They want to still play in, like, their national English League. And then, instead of doing Champions League, they do their Super League. Exactly. And they're going to make crazy money doing the Super League. Because they just don't have to share with as many teams? And they don't have to share as many teams, and it's all the biggest games. And so, then, they're

going to be able to go back to their National Leagues with all this money, and they're going to be able to trounce them even more so these other random teams fulham or whatever like that don't have the money that they do are gonna that wealth gap is going to be even greater and their argument is also like every year in champions league that no-name team has a chance for a cinderella story to come in or play a season in champions yeah leicester city in 2015 they won the whole champions league and it's like one of the most craziest upsets in the sports history. Porto in 2004, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so. So it's like bashing the tradition. It's like fucking up the local smaller teams. Yeah. Why is this short-sighted? It seems to me like this is short-sighted and it could have negative effects in the future.

I mean, it's going to. You don't want a too disproportionately competitive league. It's directly non-competitive yeah it's creating basically a monopoly on soccer and making it not free market now european soccer has relegation yes but to be fair within their individual leagues that's kind of where it already is like for example like real madrid and barcelona are gonna be the top two teams no matter what and then maybe another team like sprout out for a little bit, and then they'll just buy those fucking players. So it's like when you watch La Liga, it's almost like Formula One where the winners have been decided already.

I don't think that's true. When in our existence have Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Atletico Madrid not been the winners of La Liga? I think Atletico. I think Atletico Madrid won not the winners of La Liga? I think Atletico. I think Atletico Madrid won, like, not that long. I just said that. One of those three. I think he's saying Atletico's not one of the big three.

Yeah, Atletico's not. I don't think they're going to the Super League. Like, there's been... But still, okay, so with Formula 1, right, there's, like, ten teams, two cars a team, and you know who the top three fucking people are going to be and that's just what it is there's nothing you can do about it and that's kind of how things are in soccer leagues as well in spain is more so but like england is less like

that what about france france is even less like obviously psg is like the epitome of like big money oil and sports and then what about Germany Germany there's more fluctuation again like there's always going to be like the Lakers and right of any league but yeah it's much more it does seem like there's much less parity in European leagues sports like the sports formula one parity is like um like the NFL anybody can win the Super Bowl any given year. We're all kind of on equal ground. The NFL is the most. And then it seems

like Europeans, even though their government is much more about parody and not letting people have too much, the sports they watch it's all just the haves and the have-nots. Formula One, soccer, whatever the fuck else they play, who cares? That's what makes Champions League interesting is that you have all the best teams where like, for example, in la liga there might not be as much

open market competition because these three teams win every year same with like uh in syria like juventus has won the last seven you know syria tournaments so like they always win but in champions league it's way more equitable because it's all the best teams that are competing with each other so i guess what i would ask is, how is this not a better version of Champions League? Because, I mean, on the one hand, like, it is affecting all the lower teams in those leagues. So, like, it's affecting the actual quality of the play in the other leagues, telling the other teams, like, go fuck themselves.

So soccer fans... Just so I understand, don't those teams already go fuck themselves because they can't make Champions League? I thought Champions League was— But they could still go into the Champions League. They have a chance, I guess. Oh, it's top four. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, it's top four. So then this new Super League is basically like, let's just do top two. They're basically just saying it's a closed group. Oh! It's not even based on merit. I'm understanding now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know how to explain that.

New league. Got you, got you, got you. That makes way more sense to me and why it's not even based on merit it's just yeah yeah i don't rich's team got you got you got you that makes way more sense to me and why it's frustrating my because what i was thinking was like dude the top two are already decided always anyway with these leagues or at least the top few is all the same right but there's a chance you get a sneaker that comes in there at four and then they get the opportunity to play in a much bigger stage make like leicester city was like nobody team that comes through five years ago and wins the whole thing. How have they been since? They've been great.

They've been competing super high. So that money like floated them. Yeah, exactly. And it changed the whole trajectory of the club. And that's what happens with a lot of these clubs is that they'll do nothing,

have this crazy showing, get all this money and be able to buy players and grow the club and then the whole club flips. That's, okay, then I, for that reason, the fact that like

it's very difficult but you can get there, I believe in the Champions League. And I, for that reason, the fact that it's very difficult, but you can get there, I believe in the Champions League. And I would believe in the Super whatever it is if they had the ability to get in. But the fact that you're closing it off, it actually reduces competition amongst them. It's a monopoly. It's directly non-competitive. And you take away hope. But at the same time, what happens in UEFA and the Champions League when a big market team like Inter Milan, for example, they didn't make Champions League, but they know they're so much better than some other players from other leagues that are in that Champions.

They have to sit out for an entire year without those eyeballs, without those jerseys for that. So for them, they're like, we're always… Ah, so they don't want to… On the global side, from a business perspective, you get to keep the eyeballs on. I'm more willing to watch more of these crazy matchups between Real Madrid and Juventus than all of these other Champions League games.

This is really interesting. So what they're trying to do is protect themselves from a random year where they get bumped out of the Champions League and they lose potentially hundreds of millions. Yeah, and the streaming rights are crazy. Like if they go to the Champions League final, they could potentially make upwards of like $3 million, $4 million. So I'm looking at this.

$400 million. Yeah, I'm looking at this a little different. I'm looking at this from, this actually doesn't benefit Real Madrid or Barcelona. This benefits the team that barely makes it. Mm-hmm. What do you mean? So let's say the top four teams that make it in La Liga are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico, and Valencia or something like that, right?

This kind of really benefits Valencia because they're like, oh, I'm locked in. I'm guaranteed that Valencia might not be in it. But the teams that are locked in that might not make it some years, like you were talking about the Inter Milan, they could lose $200 million or they have a bad year. Yeah. But people might not want to watch the games because all the biggest players aren't in those leagues. So like, okay, we're not going to like, are we going to watch the champions league because like random, you know, lower level Serie A teams are in, or do we want to watch those lower level Serie A teams play Real Madrid?

Like it's those big money games that people want to watch. By pulling all the money out, you basically just tell the leagues no one's going to watch you anyway. It's like if the Lakers, the Knicks, Celtics, and whatever other big three teams. I'm talking about if you don't qualify. For example, he was

saying Inter Milan just didn't qualify one year. The fact that they didn't qualify for Champions one year, they lost out on all that money throughout the year. Exactly. But if you knew you qualified every year because these were the teams that were fixed and in there, now you don't have to worry about losing $200 million. Yeah, exactly. That's why they're making the Super League. Yeah. Now it's all starting to make sense.

At the expense of the other teams and other leagues that all of a sudden their big fish are out. I looked at it like Barcelona and Real Madrid are just being greedy when in reality it's the team that might not make it sometimes. It's the inner. Juventus knows they're going to be in. But inner is like, no, this sounds like a great idea because they could be bounced out some years. Potentially.

Juventus as well. Yeah. Until they got Ronaldo. That's the same. That's why a lot of these English teams, a lot of the English teams, I think like right now there's like four or five that are in the conversation. But I think like five more like, yeah, we would be in it if we could. Like they're like putting in bids to be in it.

If you have a big fan base, you want to say, you're saying, I want to serve that fan base year round. So we're locked in. I'm not a fan of removing competition from sports. But how do you stop this from happening? A lot of people are trying to stop well uefa this kind of already happens because they do these scrimmages have you seen this like like real madrid will come here and play barcelona and giant stadium yeah i went to one of those they fucking make so much money and i'm sure that they're like why don't we just always do this

that's the other piece of it is that they're going to start doing the games instead of doing Tottenham versus Manchester United or even Liverpool-Manchester United. It's a huge rivalry. Instead of doing it in Manchester or in Liverpool, let's go do it in Saudi Arabia. We're going to go do it in Beijing. Wherever they're going to pay.

We're going to do it to where the highest bidder is, which makes it feel almost more like a money grab. Slutty. You're not even doing it for the actual fans that adore the team. You're not going to do it in the city that lives on... Tottenham, for example, is one of the poorest suburbs of London. And so much of the town sort of lives on the revenue

that those games bring in. Like when Arsenal comes over to play Tottenham in Tottenham's home stadium, that stadium thrives. The bars around it are going crazy. Oh, yeah. And so when you remove that, it's like you're removing a lot of the sustenance

even just for local cities. Okay, so there's crazy pushback not only for the fans for the reasons of like here, they see that their teams will potentially be excommunicated from this bigger picture, but also because they rely on the business that comes from this. Right.

Interesting. So there's a lot of, like, football towns in the way that we have, like, university towns in America. Yeah, it's a college town. College town. They just live for that. It's exactly that thing. Wow.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Yeah. For an American, I mean, they're looking at it probably like there's 300 million Americans we can still convince to love, like, super high-end soccer. There's 2 billion Chinese people that are still fighting for like who their teams are so yes they're in acquisition mode dude that's that's really what yeah that's what i'm saying i don't see how you stop this there can be uproar there's going to be this well what's going to happen right now that they're saying is that they're they're going to try to uh uefa's needed so much reform for so many years

but right now they're saying that they might come after the players. Like if you get traded to another team, they're going to try to penalize people within Champions League now. But this doesn't – what I don't understand is like what happens if like PSG and some of the big French teams and Bayern don't go in there? How does that – do you know how that's going to play out? So the thing with that, like one, the way that they're going to penalize them is, and again, UEFA's not perfect. Like, UEFA and FIFA are both corrupt in their own other ways. But, and which is arguably, like, why they're doing this, because they weren't giving, like, basically all these clubs were like,

yo, give us a guaranteed qualifier spot in Champions League. Like, you're making us, like, gut it out in all these games. Like, just give us a guaranteed spot. Like, we're getting players injured. Like, it's affecting your bottom line because we can't have our stars playing. Like just give us a guaranteed spot. It doesn't seem corrupt though. Give us more money.

They're negotiating on that end, whatever. But basically they're saying to the players, hey, because FIFA is its own governing body. UEFA is its own governing body to say, hey, you play in these games, you can't play in the World Cup. You can't play in the Euro. And that is the biggest stage.

And so all these players are like, do I go play in Beijing with Real Madrid, or do I go play for Spain in the World Cup? And so now they're penalizing them in that way. And the reason why the French teams and the German teams haven't jumped on is one, to my understanding, and I'm not positive about this, but the French teams have an invested interest in UEFA, and that PSG is sort of like,

in the way that these other billionaires are trying to corrupt soccer and make their own league, I think PSG has sort of corrupted UEFA. And UEFA, I think, is a French governance already. But they're sort of in with UEFA being like, hey, help us out with this. Give us a good deal. And so PSG is like, no, we're with UEFA. And then I'm pretty sure the German teams

have what they call the 50 plus one rule. So my friend David was breaking this down for me. He basically was like, they have the 50 plus one rule, so basically the German teams have what they call fan trusts that have partial ownership of the team. So because they have... Like the Packers. Yeah, exactly.

So they have this fan trust, and so basically the fans are like... This obviously disenfranchises the fans, so the fans are like, no, we're not doing it. So the fans are making the decision for the German clubs. Right. They don't have the autonomy. Exactly. So they're preserving the German tradition in Bundesliga to stay with their cities and stay in their league.

Ah. So, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of wild. I mean, I wonder if this, could something like this happen, you think, to American sports? Could something like this happen, you think, to American sports? Kind of. They don't have the intercontinental or the international sporting games like that. You know what I mean?

But couldn't the NFL, I mean, they're the most greedy owners. They're the most, I don't give a fuck, the six biggest teams in the NFL, be like, yo, we're just going to form our own league? Well, that's what Jerry Jones did, right? Didn't he say, I'm selling my own rights to TV? Oh, yeah. Didn't he say, I'm selling my own rights? Oh, yeah. Didn't he start this? Jerry Jones is like a big, as shitty of a GM as he is with football. He's a fucking brilliant money guy. And apparently everybody thought he was crazy because they used to just go to CBS

with the TV deals and be like, hey, you know, we'll just take whatever. And Jerry was like, no, we're not doing that. And he was like, fuck that, break the deal. He was like pivotal in them saying, hey, who's the highest bidder? You get NFL games. And now that's changed the league money so much. How much do these guys pay? Like $2 billion a year is the most recent deal for ESPN is paying for like fucking Monday Night Football or something that we don't even care about. And I think he went through and negotiated his own sponsorships for his stadiums with

Pepsi, even if the NFL was with Coke or whatever. Like, he doesn't give a fuck. So, theoretically, they want the NFL to be a global game. They want teams in London. They want Jacksonville to go to London at some point. There's a lot of people hoping that happens. Couldn't they be like, hey, they already play a game in London every year. What if Jerry was like, hey, why don't you go play every Cowboys home game wherever the highest bidder goes?

Well, you could do that, but you need a certain number of games to sustain the league. You know what I mean? So, like, if the NFL teams break off and only six of them are in it. Yeah. It's going to be tricky. How many games can you get out of six teams playing each other? Yeah. And so, like, even in Premier League, like, they play 40 games, but then they play Champions

League and all these other tournaments. So, like, they're able to do it because it's like an international league contest. Yeah. And then they still have their regular league sustaining them. So it'd be the equivalent of like if there was a Canadian basketball team. Well, there are international basketball leagues. You think any of them are big enough? Like who's the big one? FIBA?

Yeah. Yeah. And so if they were to even do like an NBA FIBA tournament, then it would be interesting. But there's no real American equivalent to it, I guess. So what do you think ends up happening? I mean, it depends on how much pressure, like, one government's, like, Boris Johnson's getting in on and he's like, we're going to try to stop this. We're going to do whatever

we can to stop it. So, like, the people that are going to lose money are going to, like, push back and the people that are going to make money are obviously going to be for it. And then it's just a matter of who has, I guess, like, the bigger influence. If you take away their ability to compete in the world cup i think that's huge yeah they can't yeah the world cup or what's the other one the euros the euro yeah it's like every two years the euro every four it's

every four years but it's two years after the world cup it's two two there's no way i mean and I mean, and maybe the kids that are growing up now in the sport, right? Right. Maybe they grow up now and then they don't value the Euro and the World Cup as much because they've been indoctrinated with this new Super League thing and that's the most valuable thing. But the generations prior, who their entire lives have evolved around winning a World Cup or at least competing in a World Cup, there's no fucking way that players are going to play in this other tournament. If the biggest stars, I don't know if they're still Messi and Ronaldo or whoever, if they were all like, no, I'm not doing it,

the Super League's not going to survive. Yeah, there's no... Also, that would really affect the World Cup because what if the big players weren't playing? Yeah, exactly. And now the World Cup is like, well, who ends up winning? And can you really value that win when you know that some of the greatest talent on the planet isn't even in the competition? Right.

The World Cup would be more sustainable without the stars than a Super League. It would because people are at the end of the day just so like they identify with their country so much. But the victory wouldn't mean the same because you're like, did I really beat Portugal if Ronaldo wasn't playing? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Wow, man. So it creates a really interesting dilemma. And one thing that people suggest is like,

oh, maybe they'll continue to retain their status in like the Champions League and retain their status in these national leagues, but they'll just play a different lineup. So Juventus has Ronaldo and they'll put Ronaldo in the Super League, and it'll be the Juventus Super League team, and then they'll have their B team

that plays in the regular league. So the question is, does their brand equity draw enough people to want to watch? Both. Yeah. Do we want to see the Real Madrid B team play in La Liga? Probably. Maybe.

Probably, because people, when I was in Barcelona, there were Barcelona fans that didn't even know who the players on the team were. Right, but you knew that it was the team. Yeah, you knew it was the team. And like watching the B team might, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where it gets tricky. Like I'm not watching the G League Knicks.

No. Right, even though you know it's the Knicks. It's the Knicks. It's not the Knicks. But is it? Yeah, and if you's the Knicks. It's the Knicks. It's not them. But is it? Yeah. And if you know that. And then the question

is going to come down to like can they sue and can they actually say that no you can't play in the World Cup? Wow. Do they have legal access to say that?

That's what I was going to say. They probably don't have the ability to say that. On what grounds can they say that? We're going to see.

Yeah. They don't have any grounds to say it. But then again wait wait a minute. If the World Cup is just a private tournament, they can decide what their rules are, right? As long as it's not too discriminatory. I feel like that wouldn't hold up in court.

If you sued and you were like, they're not letting me play, they can't, I don't know. I feel like the players would win. You can't punish a player. Maybe there's a no-compete clause or something. Who knows? Apparently, the players aren't happy about it. Like, none of the players for any of these teams

were really briefed on what was happening. It's tough because it's international owners who don't understand the game just being like, why don't we fucking do this? Yeah, exactly. It's a lot of American owners. They just don't understand the cultural implications. This dude Cronky is like, why is there, like, relegation?

Like, I bought a team. I couldn't imagine the fact that I have this team in this league that could eventually go to a different league. That's the greatest thing about soccer is relegation. To them, I think from a business perspective, from a commercial perspective, it's just a nightmare. If you're an owner of a team, owning the British team, and obviously the odds of Manchester United getting relegated are like...

Explain relegated to everybody listening that doesn't know. Basically, within a country, they have a league like the NBA, and then there's a lower league. There's NBA 2 and there's a lower league so there's nba too and nba or g league and it's just like imagine the knicks lost so many games that the nba just said hey dude you can't even compete with the other nba teams you got to be in the g league yeah and then the knicks would be in the g league and then the team from the g league can come up if the g league team was playing so well well they always do so anytime a regulation goes down

someone comes up right right the best team so every season there's teams coming in the league and out which is cool and exciting yeah again is way more capitalistic to me than what we do in american sports which is oh you're the worst team here you get the best player next year yeah you get rewarded yeah yeah god that's so funny that like in this socialist environment they have the most capitalistic business practices when it comes to their sports and we have the most capitalistic business practice when it comes to our sports and we have the most socialist practices when it comes to their sports, and we have the most capitalistic business practices when it comes to our sports, and we have the most socialist policies

when it comes to our players. Yeah. Right? No, no. We have the most capitalistic attitude when it comes to business, but when it comes to sports, it's so socialist.

There's a fucking salary cap that you can't spend more on. Yeah. More than. And that's part of the reason why Zlatan was saying the thing about the MLS. Like, these teams are always making money. It's a safe bet.

Like, this American sports model is, like, guaranteed money for the owners. Yeah. But it creates a worse product in that regard. Yeah. That, like, you know, these European teams, like, they're training these homegrown players, like, putting all their money into it. Like, hey, we'll break even just to not get relegated. Whatever it takes to not go down and leave.

So, it creates a really high level. That's really interesting. Al, what do you think? You don't care. So the question is... I keep yawning because I keep looking at Al, and Al is yawning. He keeps getting me.

No, what's the question? So we see with basketball, obviously America is the best basketball league. If there was a relegation system in Europe, would it create better players in that league? And if they had, I guess, like a European soccer mentality towards basketball, and let's say there's a basketball culture there. Yeah, the Knicks should have been relegated for years. I really wish they were.

You guys deserved it. I wish they were. And would the ownership treat their players differently, and would they treat how they drafted and everything differently if they knew they could get relegated? There's no punishment for being bad. Again, you almost get rewarded. Yeah. I mean, teams in the NBA try to be bad. They try to get the highest pick, which

is being up in the worst record. Right. There's a lottery system, but whatever. God damn this jerky good boy. I just think it's really interesting to see American influence in this European sport and with a complete lack of understanding of the culture that is soccer. Yeah.

They might even understand. They just don't care. Well, they're just saying, we have the NFL and the NBA. We know what we're doing. And they do. Of having a closed system without relegation. And they do, and it will make more money. It will make more money, and it will succeed, I bet you.

But at what cost yeah you have to stop them because otherwise there's what has happened in the nba and what has happened the nfl uh not as much in the nfl but what's happened in the nba is it's become a players league yeah and not really at all in the nfl the owners cut the shit out but players league in the fact that like people are fans of players yeah and they follow those players right and sometimes those players supersede the team and i do not think that this is the case with european uh soccer no i think that you grow up in a city you have your team now who's your la liga team if you're an english dude you might have a la liga team that you follow and

that's based on the players but the the team that you love from your country yeah you're number one fuck you're from yeah your number one is because of the team is not because of the player this is interesting man lebron fans are lebron fans they're lakers fans now there were kaz fans three years ago he's fans eight years ago this is this is one of those like perfect examples of like inconsistencies and i i've actually seen this a lot with the police shootings as well like wait what i know it's a weird change of topic but like i never understand this i'm so curious how you're gonna thread this no like i never okay so like when it comes to when it comes to european sports right yeah european is very socialist in its societal and cultural values but but very capitalistic in its sports.

Right. Okay? America, very capitalistic in its societal and cultural values, very socialist when it comes to sports. Right. Right? You see this happen with police shootings, right? Police shootings feel like the one thing

that liberals and conservatives should agree on. Right. Right. Like conservatives, and I'm talking about the extreme ones, are all about fighting back against governmental abuse of power. Yes. This is abuse of power. We were talking about earlier, right, with Canada.

This is the government abusing their power. We have to stop the government from using our power. We have guns just in case the government abuses their power. We have to stop the government from using our power. We have guns, just in case the government abuses their power. Second police shooting happens, it's, whoa, whoa, what were they doing? You know what I mean? Why was he resisting? What's going on? There's not this immediate knee-jerk reaction

to government use of... If the government goes, we'd like you to wear a mask. What is this government abuse of power? Yeah. But then if a guy gets shoot for cops, then comply. Just comply. Why don then comply just comply why don't you comply why don't you just go look we need compliance compliance is important do what they tell you yeah right so you have this complete switch with conservative comes that liberals right yep liberals are we believe in big government trust the government the government

has your right intentions as long as they're the intentions we agree with. We want the government to do the right thing and we trust the government to do the right thing. We need to build out government organizations, have the biggest possible government, give the government as much power as possible to implement the rules we agree in. How do you feel about the police? Defund them. Get rid of the police. Make it smaller. We want government smaller. We want less governmental influence.

We want less. This is the one fucking topic both sides should be able to meet in the middle and go, we kind of both agree on what should happen here. And neither of them will. And they're both taking the opposing viewpoint of their general position when it comes to politics. And I don't fucking get it. I'm trying to understand why they both can't. I'm talking about the extremes obviously not everybody's on the extremes there are people in nuance but i'm trying to understand

why both sides can't just come to this this simple thing both extremists and just go yeah we could change something here yeah it's just um you don't want to give the other side of victory i think is that it i think so yeah i don't know how is that like the super league excuse me if their position about culture is completely different than their position about sport right and the political position is completely different than their position about police shootings so both sides are essentially hypocritical in the way that they treat the police maybe yeah i don't know though because in europe like assuming that it's and again i'm not positive like how socialist those countries are but like they're more socialist than we are here

but like they probably look at sports and they're like yeah they don't have to be fair like we should have fairness and rules but like if a team gets relegated and they their shit gets fucked all the time like it doesn't matter like because that's the nature of the game and they're in a sport and they're getting relegated so whatever but as far as our society we should take care of people and blah blah and it doesn't make less sense in america to be fair to be like but that's the argument i'm saying sorry that's what i'm saying i don't think it's hypocritical he thinks he thinks they don't look at sports as a part of like the rules for sports and the rules for life are supposed to be different they shouldn't have to be the same regardless if they believe that or

not they're still in an inconsistency it is an inconsistency i think to them though he's saying to them it's like yeah but who sports is in life who gives a fuck yeah if they're just taking the position like yeah we're hypocritical when it comes to sports yeah i just don't think it's a i don't think it's a they don't see them as like an equal thing caught up in the in the which word that we use for it i guess my point is like culturally there is an inconsistency yeah and i it's actually more interesting on our part yeah like we're these big capitalists and we're like but you can't pay them too much yeah what if they're worth that and we're like no no no it's not fair we're all three all through life life's not fair which i get yeah but then this isn't fair. The players just get to choose wherever they want to go.

They just get richer. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. This isn't fair. This is why sports sucks. We actually look more pussy than them. They're pussies throughout everything, but in sports, they're like, who cares? Oh, don't give a fuck about anything.

And in sports, we're like, wait. What's wrong? This isn't fair. It's like, yo, sports, dog. Do salary caps benefit the owners? Yes. Of course. In what way?

Of course. It puts a salary on how much you spend. How much is LeBron worth? A billion dollars a year. How much do you have to pay him? 30. Yeah. That's the thing.

I don't even know. Jerry pushed for the salary cap. Yeah, of course he did. That's not even like a cultural inconsistency. They're putting on these imposed regulations and rules on the league just to benefit the owners and to make as much money. No, but the citizens are like, this is how it is. Oh, yeah.

The citizens are doing the bidding of the owners. The citizens are like, well, why do you need to make more money? Yeah, we should. The citizens are like, competition should be fair. Yeah. And you can make the argument that like that benefits a citizen. You can make the argument like it's more interesting when there's parody yeah as you said so there is a capitalist drive not for profit but for uh enjoyment right in the enjoyment

matrix yeah i like football because every fucking year you don't even know who's going to win halfway through the season yeah you don't even you didn't think tampa bay was going to win when the playoffs started yeah yeah yeah no that's, yeah. No, that's true. But that doesn't even seem inconsistent with society. It seems like the cultural ethos of America is like, work hard, make as much money as possible. And then the league is like, yeah, we're going to put these rules on you so that we can make as much money as possible.

But why can't the people working hard make as much money as possible? Because the owners are the ones that are making the rules. Yeah, the league owners are always going to be capitalists. Billionaires are consistent. I don't think billionaires are hypocritical about being billionaires. capped billionaires are consistent right i don't think billionaires are hypocritical about billionaires like we can be capitalists but not the people working for us yeah yeah which to me is inconsistent yeah because billionaires will harp on like the fucking coke brothers whatever will put out all these different

youtube and twitter and instagram videos about how important capitalism is and how it's going to drive this many people from the bottom to the top and it's taking this many people from destitute poverty into middle class and the second son was like well we would also like to be rich they're like well we didn't say rich we just said middle class you're not gonna go all the way to rich now let's be crazy here so i guess what i'm trying to say is like in this regard a lot of times we use capitalism as like a talking point but we're really not about that life. Yeah. You know what I mean?

It's like, we don't want everybody to be capitalist. We want our little cronies to be capital. Yeah, free market for us. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's how it is. Rules for me, but not for the...

Yeah, exactly. But yeah, the gun, the shooting thing always strikes me as interesting. Yeah. I don't get that. Why is that never a conversation? I don't... You see libertarians make it and like the

neocons of it like the libertarians like the uh the conservatives that basically are like money conservatives but not yeah like money and war but not like uh socially liberal fiscally conservative that's what i yeah yeah and they they make that argument they're like yeah we should do something with the police. We have to adjust it. It's fucked up. It's abuse of power. Yeah.

And like zero accountability. Yeah. But that doesn't mean I don't want to pay taxes. You know what I mean? That doesn't mean I want to not make money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all you have to say. You'd be like, all right, well, we're going to train them way better.

It's just going to cost more in taxes. And they're like, nah, just try not to get shot. Why? What do you mean it's going to cost more in taxes? Who knows? How do we solve it? We're not sure. Guys, anything else before we get out of here? Nope. No? Okay. Guys, this has been
