Jake Paul is a wild mother****** boy. He's the best. It's unbelievable. Whoa. No, wait for it. Wild mother****** boy, son. Yeah. Oops, I'm sorry, Connor.

I know your PR team is trying to hide that video. If you're just an average, like, run-of-the-mill fighter, would you fight Jake knowing what you and your family is going to have to go through? What's up, everybody? Let's just get it started. Here it is. I have very important questions to ask you guys. What's up? I'm being serious. Okay it started. Here it is. I have very important questions to ask you guys.

What's up? I'm being serious. Okay. Get off your phone, man. I got important questions to ask you guys. I need your feedback. Thank you for paying attention. I don't know what we're going to talk about. No, I know exactly what we're going to talk about.

You think that Bill Gates' daughter's boyfriend's vaxxed? Oh, my gosh. Yo, that's a catch-22. That's a catch-69, though. Is Bill Gates' daughter's black boyfriend vaxxed? Maybe that's part of the reason she likes him. Maybe she's trying to piss off her dad twice. Yes!

That's what it is. Oh, I didn't think about that. That's funny. I thought she was just trying to rebel, but with the vax, but you're also like, with black as well. 100%. That was racist. Hey, but not like,

he don't look like boarding school black. He don't look like Who does he look like? He looks like just, he look like Al. What are you trying to say? Puerto Rican black.

Al with stitches. Oh, damn. Al with what? Yo, Al's a real ass black dude. Nobody would call him soft. Nobody would call him no boarding school black. Al is real black for sure, dog.

Al is a kid from Far Rock, dude. I don't even know what's going on right now, son. Stop. I really don't know. I really don't know. With the Chick-fil-A outfit, bro? He looks fine. Eat more chicken going on right now, son. I really don't know. I really don't know. With the Chick-fil-A outfit, bro? He looks fine.

Eat more chicken. Let's go, Al. He's in Chick-fil-A, you boys. Yo, I was thinking about what it was, and I did not have anything with Chick-fil-A. That's fine. I was thinking you guys were going to go Milkman or some shit like that. Rorschach test. Oh, yeah, R or some shit like that. Rorschach test? Oh, yeah, Rorschach.

Rorschach test in them. I don't even know what's happening with the feet. There's, like, no colors. They even blend at all. It's like you've got two separate outfits on. Oh, no. Just kill him with the strings. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You thought he had no strings on his pants, idiot. Come on. Is Bill Gates Thor's boyfriend Vax, bro? Nah. Come on, he's not Vax. He's not Vax? Why not? He's not Vax.

Why not? I don't know. Off the cuff, Elliot. I don't know. You could look at somebody. Do you think she was just looking for a dude that wasn't Vax and the only guy she could find was a black dude? Oh, so you're saying she wasn't really into him

because of the color of his skin. Maybe. Maybe she's like, I need an unvaxxed guy, and then she set out a whole blast. There's a lot of unvaxxed white guys. You're probably related to a good amount of them. Yeah, I know, but we're all married, okay? Yo, if you have multiple tigers on your shirt, are you vaxxed?

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. How many tigers? Let, yo. How many tigers yellow your shirt before you know you're not vexed? What are you saying? Motherfucker right here. I'm wearing the most

neutral outfit so everybody gets shocked. Is that Desert Storm? What are you wearing, dog? Okay, now how do you know? How do you know? You just know, bro.

I'll cost you next. Just give me your answer.? You just know, bro. Akash, you next. Just give me your answer. I'm trying to figure out what Akash's outfit is even right now. I match the shirt and shoes. There you go. I'm killing him. I'm killing him. Oh, the gray shirt and the gray shoes.

Yeah, I'm killing him. Doing that shit. Miles laughed extra hard on that. Is that tough for you? I outdid you, Miles. I outgreyed you, bro. Miles can't tell the color difference. Yeah, it was a color thing.

Oh, I forgot about that. No, it's all good. We're going to keep it moving. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? So what I want to know is your outfit. Yeah. When you go into the store, do you even look at the sizes?

No, I don't. Or you just grab whatever's there and then you run out? Yo. Do you try shit on? People be sending me stuff and if it ain't the right size, I'm not gonna not wear it. Oh, so they just sent you this? Yeah, I'm not gonna not wear it. Got you.

Now, do you have somebody with a gigantic helmet on put on your shirts before you put this on? Do you put on your bicycle helmet and Vanga's dress? She goes over my hook helmet. If y'all don't make fun of my hair yet. Do you put on your bicycle helmet and Vanga's dress? Is that her? She goes over my helmet. If y'all don't make fun of my hair yet, with the Hitler haircut,

what do you mean? Oh, shit. Don't whip it that much. Why are you saying that? Jeez. Why are you saying that? What are you going to say? No, no, but I got no spray.

My shit is looking crazy right now. Not enough to make fun of him you're not gonna say anything about my lustrous hair right now it's lustrous my hair is lustrous but I was 50% through that word and he was like

fuck it I'm rolling the dice on the back half it's still lustrous is luscious a word no lustrous. Is luscious a word? No, lustrous. Oh, lustrous. Luxurious and luscious together. Lustrous. There you go.

I do feel like it's lustrous. I ain't going to lie. It's working right now. Thank you so much. Guys, this is the weekend. Big day Sunday. Do we change the motherfucking game or not? Okay.

All right, but my second question, because I told y'all I had two, and you haven't even answered the first one. I don't remember the first one, to be honest. It was about Bill Gates' daughter. Oh, yeah. I answered. No, he's not back. She's trying to piss off her dad twice. She's trying to piss first one, to be honest. It was about Bill Gates' daughter. Oh, yeah. I answered.

No, he's not vexed. She's trying to piss off her dad twice. She's trying to piss off daddy. Twice. Twice. Yes. You believe twice because that's more of a thing in your community. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And also probably Bill Gates' community. You know what I mean? Bill Gates, Donald Sterling. I don't imagine the communities are that different. Do you think billionaires might have like racial things? Call me crazy. Yeah. They might. Okay, listen. I mean, he racial? I know call me crazy. Yeah, okay, listen

I mean he gives water to black people in Africa. Yeah, yeah, you keep them there Yeah, like so many were moving here out and it was like why cuz water okay? Because you don't want to help He ain't doing nothing for Flint. He can't help Flint. No facts, bro. Why do you go to Flint? Because you don't want to help someone here. That's too far gone. There's nothing you can do? Nothing you can do with the Flint water? He looks at black people the same way Africans do.

He's like, y'all are different. Africans and black Americans, different thing. I fucks with one of you. That's a sure thing. When are we going to blend those groups? When are we going to make them one? What? Black people and Africans?

You know how originally Irish like Irish and Italians, whites, we didn't consider them white. Oh, but they all became the same. And then eventually we were like, nah. We need numbers. Yeah, we need numbers.

Y'all are good about when we need numbers. Hey, now it's Latinos. These Hispanics is going crazy. Right? I'm going to be honest. What about the zip zips?

Do you consider zip zips white? Zip zips are white. Did I talk about this on a podcast? Yeah, you said they're not. Zip zips, yeah. No, no, no. Did I talk about this on a podcast? Yeah, you said they're not. Zip zips, yeah. Zip zip shibbles. Did I talk about how white people talk about Russians?

No. This is wild. White people speak the same way about Russians as they do about hood black people, but they're embarrassed about the hood black people, the way that they speak about it. So they'll be like, eh, I wouldn't go there. It's kind of like urban. Sketchy. Yeah, it's a little sketchy. It's whatever, right? Like the rich whites will say that kind of shit, right? It's a little bit urban. It's a little

like hood, whatever like that. But they speak about Russians just out in the open. They're like, oh, what's this restaurant like? It's all Russians. Are you going to go to Positano? Ah, the Russians came and it just ruined it. So he's down to value. Have you heard them speak about Russians? No, the Russians came and it just ruined it. Heels down the value. Have you heard them speak about the Russians?

No, I'm not privy to these white convos. For real, I think the Russians are the rappers of white people. Guardian shit, got the fucking brands, everything going crazy, tracksuit. And because we have this racial divide, they can't see themselves as the same. Both trying to fight for attention.

You talking about rappers and Russians? Yeah. Because imagine you're Russian, you're growing up in this communist dictatorship where they're telling you you're not important at all. You're just like a small cog in this big machine. And imagine you're black in America

and you're growing up in this system that's squashing you down and not letting you thrive. So the second you start to thrive, you're like, yo, everybody gonna know. Oh, that's an interesting observation.

Right? That makes sense. So why don't we take the black people and move them to Russia? And then all the problems are solved. I don't think, no.

Do you think that's it? I don't know if we're team Putin over here. Yeah, I was trying to jump on any dictator. Red day all day. All the folks are dictators too much. Cut that shit out. Hey, he made a good ass point.

Okay, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. What is your price to support Putin? Oh, God. This guy's crazy. This guy, God. This guy's crazy. This guy's crazy. This guy's crazy, bro. This guy's wild.

This guy's crazy. You gotta give me that squad in FC Chelsea or whatever the fuck. You gotta give me a Habramovich's fucking... You gotta get a Abramovich's money?

I gotta get his, yeah. You gotta get that kind of money. 25 million. Otherwise, I don't trust it. 25 million. I don't trust Putin, dog. No matter how much money he gives me.

25 million. You just gotta be pro-Putin on all the platforms that you're on. Anytime you're doing anything, you're pro-Putin. Do people know you got paid? And Putin will never fuck with me? No, you won't die. You won't die. Because my fear is Putin, if you don't trust him, he'll still turn on you no matter what.

No, no, no. Assume that that's not. Okay, $25 million. Yeah, done. Like what, you know, like all these guys that supported Trump? Yeah. Like they got breaded, you know, all these guys that supported trump yeah like they got breaded you know they got kicked out and like they support trump i'm just curious what's the number to support them everyone knows that i got paid and i could just be like yada yada yada no

no one knows how is that fun no one knows that's not a hype but what yeah you know what i'm saying if you get sponsored by a giant company that everyone knows your sponsor then you're like yeah buy these shoes and it's like oh yeah that's why he's saying it. But if no one knows, 30 mil. If everyone knows, 50k. Al? If everyone knows, it's the price of an ad read. Yeah, literally. One minute ad read on Poon.

Whatever. Why doesn't Poon buy ads, bro? I want a mega yacht. I want a mega yacht, and I got to upkeep it for forever. Okay, now, I'm going to take that off. I don't think in terms of money. I think in terms of lifestyle. I just want a mega yacht, and they got to upkeep it for forever. Okay, now, I'm going to take that off. I don't think in terms of money. I just think in terms of lifestyle. I just want a mega yacht.

And I want to park. It's in terms of Instagram. It's not even. You don't think about any money. Like, here's five pictures where you look really cool on Instagram. How many followers do you want to support me on? I want to park in the Hudson. Starstrap pictures.

It's got to be docked in the Hudson, and, yeah. And I've got to pay for shit. I want that. Okay. Now, I'm going to... It's alarmingly low. I'm taking that. That's like three mil. Maybe you have to like 200 mil.

I don't know. I don't think so. No, maybe that's a crazy... Hundreds of millions of dollars. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Jerry Jones has like a $200 million yacht. Sheep whore. He's a land floater.

He's a land floater. He doesn't understand these things. I'm not in the water. I'm not Puerto Rican. I don't know about that. They make boats. No, no. Water is how they get things. I'm not in the water. I'm not Puerto Rican. I don't know about that. They make books. Water is how they get here. Okay.

Yeah. That's what I meant. I'm going to take that offer. Okay. I'm going to call the banker. I'm going to see what they say. All right. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. What was your ring just now? That was the weakest shit. What was that? You gave up halfway through. Why are you looking at us confused? You know you gave up. It wasn't a ring. It was the vibrator. You gave up halfway through. Why are you looking at us confused?

You know you gave up. That wasn't even a vibrate. We're doing a fucking podcast. Some of us are professional over here. Also, the ring in the phone isn't silent. It's just silent on his end. No, mine is also. I was getting a rotary phone. Are you the banker? Yeah.

Man, I had another fucking question. I that shit no you gotta dig deep i forgot oh okay here's another question this guy's got a lot of questions okay i got here's my second question my first question was fire this is the third question to be honest yeah i think fourth is it more to support trump listen here this, that was a question that inspired many other questions. Now we're starting at a different question that will inspire other questions and conversation, right? It's called, you know, podcasting. Look, here's my question number two. Question number one, very fruitful for us already.

Had some great content to start the podcast. Okay? Very fruitful. Incredibly fruitful. Going to be a very easy job for Chifty to cut the beginning because it was so entertaining. And hair gel, dude. Okay? Chifty thought he was going to move in that camera a lot today with the tank top.

Okay, guys. All right. I have a third question. Okay. I want, and I mean this fucking seriously. I do. Chifty, fucking chill out dude you need to chill the fuck out

and stop putting on Akasha's shirts before he wears them okay it's your diesel ass do you know who Lou Ferrigno is Shifty

oh I can see it a little bit he was the first Hulk in like the TV show back in the day anyway okay guys I have one more question oh he's in the day anyway okay guys I have one more question

oh he's in the offer do you guys have any questions that's do you guys have any questions for me do you have any questions for me

any topics that you'd like to talk about have you seen the Jake Paul video Jake Paul is a wild motherfucking boy he's the best dude he's I mean

he's not even fighting Connor he's the best dude he's i mean he's not even fighting connor he's the best it's unbelievable you want to check it out yeah let's watch this video conor mcgregor just tweeted at me because of this interview she has to get active again you know who knows when that's gonna happen these are his tweets and here's my response connor connor connor you're more active on twitter than you are in the octagon I stopped taking tremble own and start taking fights more actively cheating on your way Then you are in the octagon your priorities are mixed up put down the bottle and get back to fighting You haven't won a fight in five fucking years and the last time you did was against Cowboy Saron who hasn't won a fight against anyone since fighting you I'm nobody, you say in this tweet. Well, yeah, you're right.

I'm just a fucking kid from Ohio. I really am a nobody. But this is where you fought your sixth fight. There's literally two people in the crowd. And this is where I'm going to be fighting my sixth fight. Madison Square Garden. The Mecca of Boxing. August 6th.

I know you'll be watching, kiddo. Here's another fun fact. In your 18th fight, you made $150,000. In my fifth fight, I made $15 million. You want to talk about pay-per-view buys? Nate Robinson, $1.8 million. Ben Askren, $500,000. Tyrone Woodley won, $500,000.

Tyrone Woodley, too. No one even wanted to see that fight. And we got 200,000 pay-per-view buys. In the last five years, you've had zero pay-per-view buys because you don't fucking fight. You have a lot to say about me, but I'm sharing millions of dollars with underpaid fighters while you're sharing hookers with dana white whoa no wait for it wild motherfucking boy yeah i'm sorry god whoa son don't beef with jake i think there's more videos yeah you want to keep going i know your pr team is trying to hide that video you shouldn't have fucked with me, Connor. This is my game.

There's a new king in town. I'm running shit now. What's up, Connor? What's up? What's up? Last year, when I won knockout of the year, you were just getting knocked out. Fix your calcium deficiency. Not breaking your bones.

And let's get in the fucking ring and make $200 million. Connor, no matter how you slice it, we're just not on the same level. I'm my own boss. Yeah, you made $100 million when you fought Floyd, but Dana took half of it it so no matter what you do or what you make cut that shit in half we went net worth for net worth i would shit on you connor put the bottle down get off of twitter get back in the ring and shut the fuck up i'm gonna put you back on a leash fuck you connor they talk good shit son it's almost like good shit if bro. It's almost like... They talk good shit. If you're just an average run-of-the-mill fighter,

would you fight Jake knowing what you and your family is going to have to go through? I think you would because it's a payday. Yeah. Fair enough. That's right. But you really got to look at that number and go, is this fucking worth it? You got to sit down with your family.

Because like you said... Babe, he's coming after you he's coming after everything he's gonna get videos from my pet it is he's gonna make you earn that fucking money boy they're already risking their life going in the ring it's like but it's different like family so imagine your girl he's posting pictures and shit you know what i mean like picture eugene now your girl gotta talk to her friends about it she's going to the store. Now she's embarrassed publicly. She's embarrassed. No, that shit is crazy. And here's what you brought up.

This is, he's not even fighting Conor yet. This is pre-fight hype shit. And I'll be honest. Once the fight is announced, man. If he fights Conor in boxing, he's fucking Conor up there. I think he's going to win. I think so. The only thing I don't get, why are you doing this before the fight?

It makes it seem like you're not even interested in this fight. It's not going to be a good fight. I think it's more just anything to promote him, because he's going to have to promote everything for this fight. Oh, okay. Because a lot of people don't know Haseem Rahman Jr., right? So it's like, it's all going to have to be interest in Jake.

And maybe, maybe what he can do is get the boxing community to be like, finally, here's a real boxer. All the boxing fans are going to hate on Jake. And then all the boxing fans are going to buy the fight so that they can watch Jake potentially lose. In the same way, like Floyd made all that money, it was a lot of motherfuckers

just paying to see him finally get beaten up. Yeah. I think that's the angle for this. I don't know. I got to see him, but if you're a fighter, do you want to bark up that tree?

You got to do like an audit. You got to get a company to like go through your whole history like on some presidential shit, wipe everything clean, get all your family member, get all their shit off through your whole history on some presidential shit. Wipe everything clean. Get all your family members, get all their shit off. You got to assume he hasn't already gone through it.

Because even this, again, fight's not announced. Fight isn't on the table. And he's already going through your shit. Yeah. Well, I'm sure people will send him stuff. Yeah. Once you show that you're doing this type of content or you're exposing people like this, people who like to expose are going to be out there.

Yo, have you seen this video? Theoretically, that girl, not that she did, but she could have just taken the video, sent it right to him. Oh, you think it came from Shorty? I'm not saying that happened. I'm saying now that you know he'll do that, you could do that. A girl could do that. Get some dirt, send it right away.

I'm not sending it to anybody. I'll just fuck this guy. Or this will help you out and maybe get me in favor with you, whatever. So let's say that this is something I'm interested with that girl. It's like these girls are prostitutes, right? And this is, you know, you get paid to leave. You don't get paid for the sex. You get paid to leave.

You heard that saying, right? Best quote ever. Greatest quote ever. Charlie Sheen, hero. Oh, did he say that? Yeah. Oh, hero. Oh, did he say that? Yeah. Oh, okay. So I'm wondering if this affects her bottom dollar. You're the type of girl that gets paid by very rich dudes to fuck.

Now you've shown that you can't be trusted. Correct. You have incriminating evidence. Who's fucking that girl now? And the service that you might have used to get this girl, because you're not just getting her off the street. At this level of wealth, you've got to call the madam or something like yo bring her through that's huge violation like you get fired like that girl's done right yeah there are some

people that look at that and they go oh good enough for connor good enough for me yeah 100 that's that rapper shit yeah 100 but is it worth the risk like now if if you're fucking with these girls you literally unless you have some wild kink that they can satisfy, if you're just trying to get some pussy on the side while you're in some Dubai or wherever the fuck it is, is it worth your family to be with the bitch that videotapes shit

and then ruins the family? But most guys don't have a giant social digital footprint that, you know, like if some girl posts something from hooking up with like some finance guy in Soho or whatever, like it's not going to necessarily pop up. This guy, there's a level of comfort. Unless she targets him.

I hear what he's saying. I guess I'm all, I'm wondering like. Did she fuck up her own prospects in this career? Yes, 100%. And like, fuck, what is the word that I'm looking for? Like it's not security, but discretion. Discretion is part of the job. It is incredibly important.

And you're paying a premium for it. It's like, let's say she's a $10,000 a night girl. Ain't no difference in pussy between $1,000 and $10,000. I'm not paying you for your attractiveness. I'm paying you for your discretion. She didn't look $10,000. She didn't look $10,000. That's another thing. Go filter on

Shorty. This is you. She didn't look $10,000. I'm assuming she posts this on her Instagram close friends or whatever and then someone else rips it and she accidentally leaks it. Yeah, but it still fucks your career. Also, the dudes that kind of- If you see this as your career,

they might not see this as a career. This might be like a play to get more attention, to get more, et cetera, whatever. That's the thing of Go Go. To Mark's point, I think there's a lot of dudes

that see that as like, oh shit, she was with Conor, like, oh, I want to get her. Agreed 100%. Like rappers do that shit all the time. Ball players do that shit all the time. You think Stormy Daniels' career is better or worse since she snitched on Trump?

That's true. I think it's worse. I saw her stripping in a club. But what was she doing before Trump? Yeah, what do you mean? That's an upgrade. I don't no longer have to fuck guys. I can just dance and people are coming just to see me because they know I have that time.

And you went just to go see her. I remember that. I did. Yeah. That's an upgrade. I had dudes in the front row with make america great again hats money but it was hilarious yeah that shit helped they're good enough for trump good enough for me that's probably what those dudes are thinking that's a great point i guess the ideal scenario would be if someone else leaks a video that's not from your phone like the both of you are seen going into a hotel room together exactly so now you're the girl that's not from your phone. Like the both of you are seen going into a hotel room together.

Exactly. So now you're the girl that's quiet about it. Somebody else got the shot. But if you're the girl that's taking pictures or videos without consent while I'm sleeping? Nah. He's slipping, bro. You don't sleep. The level of comfort

to fuck a hooker, cheat on your wife, and then sleep while she's still there is crazy to me. That's proof of how good she is. Yeah, she's probably advertising. Put him to sleep. I put him night-night. I ain't no UFC fighter, neither. Knock them out.

Yeah, one more thing about Jake. Why do you think he beats Conor in boxing? Because I think the same thing. I'm curious about your reason. I think he's good at boxing. I think he's, like, very good at boxing. I think he's like very good at boxing. Good at boxing and been focused on it for years. Conor

hadn't just boxed in years and he seems a little more content now. He got his proper 12 money. Oh, I don't think it's that at all. I think it's literally just he's good at boxing and he has an immense size advantage. Yeah. Conor's tiny. Oh, that's true too. Conor fought, I think, when he first started in UFC at 145.

You know what I mean? Imagine he knocks out Conor. Yeah, he has height, reach, weight, everything. Like, Conor's probably walking around now at like 175, and he's swole as hell. He's not even in actual kind of fighting shape.

He's going to be slow at that weight, too. Does he have any incentive to fight Jake? I think the fight would be crazy money. Yeah. If he needs that. It is crazy money. And if he thinks that he can actually beat him. I think Conor believes he can beat anybody on the planet. I'd rather see that

fight than Jake versus Tyson. Jake versus Tyson. It's so engaging though. Tyson anything is going to be so much fun but I hear you. I think it makes for a better fight. Come on. Tyson destroys. Unless he's just running like what

who did he fight? Jones? Yeah. Roy Jones. He was just running the whole fight. You said Roy Jones won that fight. No I didn't. I'm pretty sure he was running the whole fight. I'll be tweeting the wildest shit. He won't even remember. I'm pretty sure he tweeted that. No, he was running the whole time. I'll be tweeting the wildest shit. He doesn't even remember. I'm pretty sure he tweeted that.

I'm like this guy. He didn't say it. He didn't say it. He tweeted it. Tweeting is different. Yeah, yeah. Tweeting. I don't believe that.

I don't know. I mean, I think if I'm Conor, I'm fighting Jake as soon as I possibly can. Because the kid is getting exponentially better at boxing every single year. So, the earlier you get him the better yeah what if it's mma uh if it's mma that's connor right even with the size of inch yeah because like here's the thing i don't think connor's jujitsu is good or anything like that or his wrestling is good and like but the kicks are just different like defending kicks like it's just a very different thing to be in there and have to worry about the legs as well and connor was a kickboxer like he's

proficient with the kicks so that's something i just think you can't it's just it would be an unfair advantage for connor now if they just did a straight kickboxing fight that would be interesting as hell. But I think what Conor would do is chew away at that front leg. You know what I mean? Like, you've seen certain guys do it. You just chew up the front leg. You can't even move. You can't punch anything. Nothing. Like, you saw... Isn't that what

the old boy did to Conor? Say again? Isn't that what the old boy did to Conor? I think Poirier? Poirier, in, like, the fight in early 2021, he took the leg, took the leg, took the leg, and then 100% KO'd him. 100%. And then Conor went after the leg in that second fight. But yeah, dude, it was just... You even saw the Izzy-Paul Acosta fight.

Remember that? And Izzy just started chewing away at that fucking leg, and Paul Acosta couldn't even move forward. He was just standing there, like frozen. So I think that... But that is more competitive. I'm almost... more competitive yeah like i'm almost that's better yeah i'm almost not interested in jake fighting him just strict boxing because i think it would be too easy for jake is that crazy a little it's crazy to say but connor's not big

he still got power with that hook yeah the left hand left hand is powerful. That shit is great. And he is quick. I don't know, but how crazy is it that Jake boxing was a fucking joke and now we're going, yeah, I think he beats Conor. Yeah. Within six fights. Yeah. I mean, knockouts, even if they're

not boxers, the perception you have of a human being when you see them like put another guy to the fucking mat and they're unconscious, it's just a different, I'm going to look at you differently every time

you do that. You got to respect not only outside the ring, but in the ring. That's another thing with Conor. Conor can't go in there and play games with him. Conor could go in there

and play games with Floyd a little bit because Floyd doesn't have that one punch power. Obviously, he TKO'd him. He don't get that one punch to get out of here. Son, Jake,

will you sleep? Six fights, three KOs? No, five fights, three'd him. He don't get that one punch to get out of here. Son, Jake, well, put you to sleep. Six fights, three KOs, I think. No, five fights, three KOs. He didn't KO Woodley the first time. He got Askren. He got Woodley the second time. He got Nate Robinson.

I don't know whose fifth fight it is. I can't even think about it. I like that he includes Nate's pay-per-view. We called him out on the pot on that one. That is so funny.

Yo, do you want to talk about the show, The Offer? Who here has seen The Godfather? Anybody? No. We've all seen The Godfather. Fantastic movie. Mark hasn't.'s get back to the show. Yo, do you want to talk about this show, The Offer? Okay. Who here has seen The Godfather? Anybody? No. Yeah. We've all seen The Godfather. Fantastic movie. Mark hasn't.

You haven't seen The Godfather? He hasn't seen movies. He hasn't seen any movies. It's like a three-hour movie. It's a great movie. It's considered one of the best movies of all time, and it's based on a book, The Godfather. And then this show called The Offer is a 10-episode series all about making The Godfather and what it took to make that movie. And the way you said Top Gun made you feel, where it's like's like yo i want to make a movie yeah this shit made me feel

like that why it's old hollywood and some of the stuff is like corny and the guy who's the producer clearly tells a story because he makes himself look good almost every scene but the shit that went down to get this first of all the mafia didn't want this movie made because it's a mafia movie and they weren't talking about the mafia back then. La Cosa Nostra. Yeah, it wasn't. Oberta. Yeah, so they are like, so he has to like kind of get the mafia on his side and get them okay with making the movie. Oh, did they eventually approve?

Yeah, they approved because he got a mafia guy in his good graces by kind of like, first, the guy calls him to a sit down in Brooklyn. And he's like, look, I'm not going to kill you to prove to you I'm more civilized than you think Italians are. Because he's like, this movie is also offensive to Italians. He's like, what you say your side of the story. And then the guy's like, look, I'm going to invite you to my office. Come read the script. Read the script if you don't like it. If you think it's offensive, we won't make it.

I'm not making an offensive movie. The guy comes. They don't have a script done. So he just he have a beginning and an end and no middle. He just puts fucking spreadsheets in the middle because he knows the mafia or he thinks the mafia guy won't read it he's just praying hands it to the mafia guy mafia guy obviously fucking mafia don he looks at the page he looks how thick it is he goes you know what you say it's good i trust you you say it's okay i appreciate you calling me over here and they're doing shit

like this the whole movie then you got the ho the Hollywood side and the producers you got to deal with and the execs you got to deal with. And this is a fucking great show, fun show. Where is it on? It's on Paramount Plus, which kind of sucks. It's kind of hard to get to. Because it's limited, right? Yeah. And Paramount is the company that produced The Godfather.

Gotcha, gotcha. It is some propaganda, but also. Good, good. Let it be. That's fine. It's okay. You should be proud of yourself. You made the movie.

Paramount was struggling before this movie. Then all of a sudden they had this. They had another movie called Love Story. Just bang, bang, bang. Like they're about to sell off Paramount, the company that owned it. Yeah. They managed to get them not to sell it off. Like it's a just fucking crazy story.

If you have access to Paramount Plus, watch the show. Especially if you've seen The Godfather and like The Godfather. Is Paramount Plus a Montana the show, especially if you've seen The Godfather and like The Godfather. Is Paramount Plus a Montana show? Yes. Dutton Ranch? Yellowstone. Yellowstone.

That's the same one. You think it was called Dutton Ranch? Oh, okay. I feel like you would like the show a lot, Dave. Yeah. Have you seen it?

No. I'm dying to see it. These are like the legends if you ever read of how Hollywood was built up. Al Ruddy, Bob Evans, who did those movies in like how Hollywood was built up. Al Ruddy. Yes.

Bob Evans, who like did those movies in Chinatown and all those. Yeah. I'm... Go, go, go. No, no. It was all the crazy old executive stories of Hollywood of like... And the guy who plays young Pacino and the guy who plays young James Caan. Yeah.

Rest in peace. But like the guy who plays young Pacino, it's fucking crazy how much he sounds like him and looks like him. Oh, wow. It's fucking crazy. It's like perfectly cast. I love the How It Was Made story in general. I think like for successful businesses, I think there's a podcast called How It Was Made. Yeah, yeah.

Big companies. And the stories are always great because in order to make something so successful, you need luck. Yes. Everybody needs a little hint of luck or a few little hints of luck. And those make the best stories. But the Godfather thing is really interesting that they needed the mafia to sign off. I never considered

that. But I wonder if the mafia is happy because it presented the mafia, even though it was incredibly violent and dangerous, but there was a romanticism to the mafia that exists today because of that movie in non-italians yeah so people who are completely unfamiliar with mafia our idea is go say hi to

the don on the wedding day kiss the hands yeah the affection the love it doesn't get like fucked up until is it two is it two godfather it two? Godfather 2. Yeah. Where they show the relationship between. It gets dark, Godfather 2. That's where it gets really dark. And I wonder if they would have had way more pushback. If two was one. Well, the book, so a book comes out.

Puzo's like a struggling writer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they show this at the beginning. Mario Puzo's the guy who wrote The Godfather. Correct. Thank you. But he owed like mad money to different people. And then he writes this book. It sells 58 million

copies. It's apparently the best selling book ever. That's crazy. How did you just get a buck? Yeah. That is fucking something. That book money is different. Go on. And he says like to his wife who's suggesting write about what you know in the mafia. He's like, yo, I grew up with these guys. You don't fucking write about them. Yeah. And then she's

like, well, make the story yours. Make it in a't fucking write about them. Yeah. And then she's like, well, make the story yours. Make it in a way that humanizes them or whatever. But like, that's another fucking aspect to it. From the moment the book came out and they found out they were making it a movie, so many mafia people, like Frank Sinatra, one of the characters, Johnny Fontaine or whatever his name is. You watch the movie, you don't know this. It's making fun of Frank Sinatra.

Yeah. I did not know that. Because I see Frank Sinatra as this fucking Don, God, untouchable, like- Everyone loved him. Confident, charisma out through the roof. And then the character's like this kind of pathetic, needs the mafia to help him out guy. And the book is centered way more on this character. So Sinatra's like, I don't want this fucking movie made.

So the second he finds out it's a movie, he starts talking to mafia people. We're like, yo, this is making us look bad. They don't want it made. And this is the last thing I'm going to give away. There's another scene with the mafia guy where he's like, can you not use the word mafia? Or I don't know, somehow it comes up. The producer's like, you know what I'm going to do for you? I'm going to not have the word mafia

used at all. The family. Yeah. And then the mafia guy's like, you would do that for me? And he's like, yo, if you want it, that's what we'll do. And then he goes and asks Coppola how many times he used their mafia. Coppola goes, once.

And then he says the line and he's like, can you take that out? I just need you to do it for me. He goes, done. It was just one line. Oh, this was after the movie's already made.

No, the movie's not. It's written. But it's written, yeah. This is another thing he does to schmooze over this mafia guy. And then the producer gets in good with the mafia and then that is its own set of problems.

So I think one of the things that the show Entourage exposed is that the life of the agent, manager, producer people is far more interesting in terms of stories than the actual talent. Like if you're a fucking rock star like that, remember the book The Dirt

about Motley Crue? Okay, you're gonna have wild fuck stories and like destroying hotel rooms or whatever. But like, you're not coming across

as much adversity because the adversity is dealt with by the team usually. It's constant adversity. Yes. If you're the manager, there's a fire

trying to put something out, the agent, and you watch, we watch Entourage. And Vince almost became this character in the background. He just stumbles in a pussy, lives a great life, battles a drug addiction for a season, and that's the most boring season.

Yeah. Like, all right, man, I don't care. Yeah. But getting it made, and I talked to a person who said, that show is so accurate, I can't watch it. It makes me uncomfortable. I thought Entourage was like an over-dramatization. This shit don't really go down like this. Entourage is so accurate i can't watch it it makes me uncomfortable i thought entourage meaning was like an over dramatization this shit don't really go down like this is so yes and then this lady who uh worked like behind the camera fairly high up was like i can't it's so accurate i can't

watch it i it's like it reminds me too much of just fucking past anxieties and shit i had to go through i can't watch the show yeah it's so accurate you know it's interesting though that like we needed vince's character that you could like live aspirationally yeah like it's it's so accurate you know it's interesting though that like we needed vince's character that you could like live aspirationally through yeah like it's it's so weird what we need like vince gets you in the door it's like oh wouldn't it be cool to be like part of this thing and girls are everywhere etc but he is the star yes and then also uh the agent ari right but yeah it's so interesting without vince I don't know if that show works. You still need the guy. Even if he's not the focal point.

Yeah. Interesting. You need to really care about him, and that makes you care more, because he cares so much about Ari. This is like, they even added this little hook. I discovered Vince. I don't discover a lot of people. I discovered Vince. So he takes more ownership in Vince's career. So he cares more.

So that raises the stakes because emotionally these guys care so much. But I wonder if Ari's role in episode one was supposed to be as big. But then he knocked it out of the park. Yeah, I heard he knocked it out of the park. And he did a fucking great job. But yeah, the offer. Also, the name is good. The offer.

Like, I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse. There's another show if anyone actually cares about that so we don't so what do we have godfather was a sicilian mob and there's a show i think i brought it up before it's called gamora oh yeah this is actually really cool so again it was someone from naples his name is roberto saviano as soon as he came out with it he would target on his fucking back on his forehead. He was in like protection in Italy for years because he exposed the Camorra and then they changed it to Camorra, the film title. That became a film.

And then it's a series. It's the Naples mob series. You want to watch this? I think it bounces around different networks. I promise you watch it in Italian language. This is the fucking best mafia show you could possibly watch. It's like people have

seen zero zero zero it's like that it's like the wire it's all that and then like that mob kind of got busted in italy and now there's another one called that zero zero zero is uh indrangata from calabria and they're responsible for like 80 of drug trafficking between like south america and europe like it's and you have to be like blood related so those are like the big mobs but gamora is like the next after. You know the most impressive thing about the mafia? Maybe you need violence and fear to make this work. And yeah, I'm like backing into this.

But they can have a functional business with nepotism. Oftentimes, the best people to increase the value of your company are not necessarily your kids. Because your kids, you're rolling the dice. It doesn't matter how good you raise them. Some might be smart. Some might be stupid. It doesn't matter, right? The best person to run your business might be some fucking genius that went to MIT or might be some hard-nosed business kid that built his way up. But there are other people out there that can increase like, what is it called? The shareholders profits. Yeah. You know, I think one of the criticisms of Dolan is you look at the executive board and it's everybody's last name is Dolan on it. You're like, oh, is that why the Knicks? Yes.

Like you're telling me the five people that can increase my shareholder profits are related to you what a coincidence right it's like money ball like that whole what what money ball you're saying when you're choosing the right players right so it's like what's kind of impressive about the mafia is they're like now we're only doing blood right only sicilian period you can't be made without being sicilian right so but here's the interesting thing. Maybe they need to be violent because they can't compete with just blood. Yeah. So it's like, oh, you're entering my business. Well, you shouldn't be threatened if your business was good.

Yeah. Well, I can't make it that good because I got these fucking idiot nephews that don't know how to run a business. But if I put a gun to your head, you won't even open your business. Your life is online. You got to perform. So if they removed nepotism and just hired like any other business they could probably still do the illegal shit they do just more proficiently and then not have to kill a single person they have to kill because you can't

count on family like isn't that weird i think you gotta kill either way okay you still gotta kill but does the it would be the wire cogent does it kind of make sense? Yeah, it makes sense, but the only way the Knicks are gonna be good is if you start acing out board members. What does that mean, acing out? Killing board members. If your life is on the line as a Dolan, the Knicks will perform.

You just gotta raise the stakes because you can't get fired. You can't get killed. I think it's actually better that there's nepotism because if you just brought hungry people, it's like, oh shit, there's no laws here. I can just take out Top Guy and become Top Guy. And make it true. If that's my people, it's like, oh, shit, there's no laws here. I can just take out Top Guy and become Top Guy. And make sure it's true.

If that's my uncle, it's like, I'm going to respect him. Well, that also happens, right? I guess that's the security, right? The security is almost like royal family type shit. Like, how do we keep it in our bloodline, like in our last name? The concern is if you bring in these other people, it's like what happened with like Gucci and I'm sure a bunch of other products, right?

It started out as his family business. And then you brought in these other people who are sharks. And the reason they're good is because they're sharks. But the problem with a shark is it doesn't have friends. Yeah. Right. So once it finds out that your food, it's the apex predator,

it kills, it will eat you. You're done. But isn't that, I don't know. I find that kind of interesting. The mafia, I guess the only way to sustain and protect the family is with a bit of fear. Or just acknowledging that there's going to be competition and maybe life isn't going to be as sweet.

Also, adding on to Al's point, who are you the least likely to snitch on? Some guy you barely know that you just started working for? Or your family? I'm not snitching on my family yeah there's security within that this america is the thing that's like we built upon this yeah i'm way less likely to tell on my family my cousins my brother i'm not doing that you can also ingrain values in family easier yeah than like a grown person that's coming to the business at 30 years old yeah so ever since they're kids you're saying hey we don snitch, we don't do whatever. So you're curating behavior.

It's religious. Yeah. This is what is right behavior. This is what is wrong behavior. At least I can trust your behavior. You might not be smart enough to make some money. Yeah. And we might have to bring some cousins that can actually do something.

You get to raise your employees, literally. Yes. Yeah. Coppola, this ties actually into, not necessarily the offer, but even The Godfather. When you think about why it's so good, Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola, the director of The Godfather,

brilliant guy. He reads the thing and he's like, you know how you make this movie? You don't make it about the mafia, you make it about a family. This is a story about family. And that's where it's, the mafia is so family,

this whole thing, everybody relates to it. Not just you're romanticized by the mafia, but you're drawn to it because of family. Everybody is a Michael or a Sonny or a Fredo, or you have a Michael or Sonny or Fredo in your family. Your dad probably has sons trying to figure this all out. Like you have a daughter, you gotta be protective of her. These are all just family stories,

immigrant experiences in a lot of ways. Even though you might not be doing illegal shit, you relate on an emotional level to it. That's the Hollywood secret. That was like the Spielberg, like, make it simple. Even, he was a producer on Transformers. All he said was like, it's a story about a kid in his first car. That type of.

Yeah. That's a Pixar storytelling technique. It's like every story has to be universal. It has, like, every storyline has to be boiled down to something that every person on the planet can and will experience. Like, for example, Coco. What is, like, the baseline? It's like the loss of family. Don, for example, Coco. What is the baseline? It's like the loss of family.

Don't mention that, bro. Come on. You know what that does to me. How many times have you cried on it? Three times. Son, son, son, son, son. I saw Boombayou on a plane. That shit goes, right?

Motherfucker. Yo, the last scene of that movie, the most. Andrew talked about this. He watched this movie on a plane. I didn't watch it on my screen. Remember, I watched it on the guy next to me's screen. I was fucking bawling crying. So I watched it on my screen.

Holy shit. Oh, that's the next one. I think the director, Justin Chong. Justin Chong. Justin Chong. I hit him up after. I was like, son, you made a beautiful movie. He's a fan, so shouts to him.

But fucking amazing movie. Beautiful movie. I don't normally have tears screaming down my face in a movie. If you're weeping. You're weeping. Yeah, I'll eye water all day. But tears, not normally. This movie be the end.

I was crying like this. Like, in this fucking sun. Just rocking. Unbelievable. Thinking about Coco right now. I said, God,

that shit does it to me, bro. Wait, Akash, as an Indian, did you cry at Lion? Did you see Lion? Yes, I did. You cried? But I knew the story already,

so I didn't cry as much. What is Lion? It's the craziest fucking story, and it's a true story. It's about a kid who is from a poor part of India and is going to the train station, somehow gets on a train to fall asleep. He falls asleep on a train. His brother gets killed.

He can't find him. Some crazy shit happens, and then he just gets transported to a different part of India. He has no idea where the fuck he is. They speak a different dialect. He ends up in an orphanage. He gets transported to a different part of India he has no idea where the fuck he is they speak a different dialect he ends up in an orphanage gets adopted by a family in Australia

doesn't remember this as he gets older and then like randomly starts remembering like oh I'm from India I'm from this part of India and then he like

goes and tries to find his mom and it's a fucking amazing story Dev Patel kills it he's fucking great oh such a it's a beautiful movie also fuck

Shubh you're getting emotional right now yeah nah watch it on a plane you're done emergency landing there's one industry that's actually worked

with nepotism it's Bollywood yeah they don't really seem to allow much else every yeah I guess but like still the industry is like extremely profitable

everyone loves it the movies are great and it's all it's all nepotism and why why do you think it can function that way? I don't know.

I mean, maybe acting is so easy. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Watch your fucking mouth, dog. Maybe acting's that easy. Oh, explosion. Bus falls over. Boom.

It works. You know what I mean? I swear to God, I'm going to play Kohono for you, and you're going to bawl your fucking eyes out like you're watching Blue Bayou. No. Yeah, dude. Don't do that.

No. No, the white guys are always like some fucking, they're just terrible characters every time.

Really? It's like Squid Game. It's those mass assholes. Oh, fuck. No, they just, they try to speak Hindi. It sounds so bad. It's always brutal. If you were a white dude that grew up in Delhi, spoke perfect Hindi, could you get cast

as a Bollywood actor? Are there any roles for you? You ain't related, so no. With those eyes, though? You could have some role. You could be somebody. Side character. But you're not going to be a lead. But Veer wasn't related, right? And he was able to do some acting. Yeah, Veer got in, and it does happen.

He says it's possible, but it just seems like families have such a chokehold on it and Bollywood is such an integral, like they have a chokehold on entertainment. Movies are like, this is our escape. We go watch the movie. We're done. Three hours. It's going to be a fun story. Like they're starting to make more like realistic, gritty

kind of shows. And I'm curious to know how India takes it. And to me, I almost look at it as a sign. What do you mean? So like India that I grew up with. Less escapism. Yeah, Bollywood that I grew up with was pure escapism. I'm going to go watch fun, rich people, beautiful colors. India's beautiful colors in general, but like happy stories.

It'll be melodramatic, but happy stories because life is hard. And the good guy wins at the end. Hero's journey. We love the gritty because our life is good. Like what do we need to escape to? Oh, so we want to feel something real. Yeah. Because we're living in a surreal world.

We're living in a fucking, we are the 1%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whether we like to admit it or not. Yeah. You go to a rougher country. We still like a Hero's Journey as well. But I hear what you're saying. There is, there's also an industry for these kind of gritty movies because there are people that need to access those feelings.

Where in Bollywood, that was very rare. I can think of like. I don't need to feel that shit I feel it every day one or two movies where the main character died I'm sure there's more but growing up

the big ones and now I'm starting to see more gritty kind of Bollywood movies and I'm wondering if that's a sign of their economy getting stronger well it's also

Netflix is huge there they've climbed out of the third world and now they're like well you know we want to see some of this there's people who are like dude life is good

I want to see reality yeah yeah have you seen Miss Marvel I haven't seen it yet we want to see some of this. There's people who are like, dude, life is good. I want to see reality. Yeah. Yeah. Have you seen Miss Marvel? I haven't seen it yet. Oh, you should check it out. I heard they be shitting on India in it,

these Pakistanis. I don't know about that, but I mean. But it's like Disney and Netflix are coming to India. They're not going to compete with Bollywood. They're going to say, okay, what's the method? Let me bring a horror.

Let me bring a thriller. Let me bring something a little bit more. Yeah, Netflix is trying to do Bollywood, like trying to compete with Bollywood, but they're doing it through different shows, grittier shows, sadder shows, reality type shit. Interesting. That's an interesting observation, though.

As a country lifts itself out of destitute poverty, it starts to feel and relate to different things in the art. The art is always a reflection. I think Marley and Me should be the test. I said that as a joke. If your country likes Marley and Me,

you're first world. Can you break down Marley and Me to anybody who hasn't seen it? Literally, it's like white family, they adopt a dog, the dog gets old, they got to put it down, end of the movie. It's just like,

we're sad our family dog died. It's Old Yeller, but without babies. Yeah, but Old Yeller's sad because like real life happens. Like nature takes over. The dog's decrepit. It dies.

Like this dog just got old. It got lumpy and they're like, all right, go to sleep forever. Like that's the whole movie. So I think if you're, as a country,

like sad about this, it's like, yeah, you're doing pretty good. Yeah. Any other country? I can't believe you've seen Marley and Me

and not The Godfather. What the fuck is going on, man? Because I like real movies. I like cinema. Yeah. Because my life is, you yeah because my life is you know my life is hard that's what it is i don't want to watch the godfather it's too real that's every day for me that was what flipped the switch with me with bollywood in terms of liking it

because i was like oh i was like it's so like surreal and it's so ridiculous and then i was like oh they want to escape because they don't have my cushy ass life in america so watch it and don't expect the real shit the reality reality where an action star flipping over an 18 wheeler. I'm like, that's so fucking stupid. They don't want real. Real sucks. There's so many people over there. So give me escapism. And then I watch it with a different lens and I was like, oh, we're just having

fun. This is great. Yeah. What would you go to your place and you're playing like poppy Indian music and you're just like, oh. What would Indians think of Marley, man? If you went to Uttar Pradesh. They'd be like, why are you adopting this fucking street dog? You motherfucker

gonna take our food, yo. Get the fuck out of here. That's my point, bro. Play that movie anywhere. North Korea. You adopt a dog? Shub, did anybody in your family have a dog?

Nah, never. Mad street dogs and you just looked at them like, yo, get the fuck away from our food, yo. Yo, that's interesting. I'm fascinated by cultures that don't have pets. Like, we live in Williamsburg, right next to all these

Hasidic Jews. Hasidic Jews don't have pets. I've never seen a Hasidic Jew walking a dog ever in my life. They just don't do it. And why do you think that is? I don't know. I don't know what the point is. But I think, like, in China there's so many fucking kids that they don't want another thing to look after. Is that what it is? I genuinely think that is.

You're a woman. You have six kids. By the time you're 25, do you really want a dog? But you've got to think there's got to be one woman that has two kids. And it's like, oh, yeah, a puppy would be nice. I think the thing would be nice. I assume the thing would be nice. But that's not the focus right now.

Does the woman get a say, I'm actually asking? In what? In an orthodox community. In a say in what? In like, hey, we're getting a dog outfit I don't want the dog yeah

so is the woman the one being like oh I don't want a dog I think if a man wants a dog they're getting a dog I don't know Dov I'm ignorant asking this question

but I'm willing to ask you he hates the Hassids more than anybody so I don't think he'd have a single fucking clue yeah I think it's like part of the culture

not to worship anything other than God Muslims often don't have dogs oh that's interesting is it a why are we going out of other than God. Muslims often don't have dogs. Oh, that's interesting. Is it a... Why are we going out of our way to feed this thing? Do they have dogs in India?

Do they have pets? No, if you're doing well, you have a dog and you love the fuck out of it. But a lot of people don't. But Muslims often don't have dogs and it's like a cleanliness thing, I think.

I can see that. It's like a cultural slash religious thing. I can see that on the kosher thing. You're bringing in stuff from the street. Yeah. You probably don't like German shepherds.

It is a super... Don't remember. I'm really going to make it in. Yeah. It is a super flex, though, when you think about it. Yeah. The idea, like, we have so much. There's such abundance in this family that we can take care of an animal.

You said that shit a while ago, and I've always thought about it. A flex is just waste. Yes. This popped up the other day. I was reading some shit. High ceilings. High ceilings but also lawns. I can waste space. The American lawn. I have room for nothing. Not even nothing. I have room to not grow food.

Gardens. Not only is I could grow food. That's interesting as fuck only is, oh, I could grow food. That's interesting as fuck. I don't even need to grow food. This land is just a vineyard here. I can have anything. Imagine you got a garden.

Like, I'm doing the work, but I'm not growing food. I'm just growing flowers. Yeah. I'm just growing flowers. Dude, a botanical garden. What a waste. Dude, people from other countries must show up and be like, wait, you can't eat none of this shit? You have a dedicated area to growing things you cannot eat.

It's a food museum. People pay to come not eat. To not eat. To look at things that are growing out of the ground. Yo, flowers are waste. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Flowers are waste. That's what I try to tell my girl. That's why they love them. They love anything that's fucking wasteful. That's the flex for them. They flex on their friends. Look, I don't even need this.

That's what I waste. Complete waste. I'm having like high moments right now. But how interesting is that? Like at least a fucking tree generates shade, right? Which is life or death. Yeah. Like also oxygen.

But like literally shade in the fucking desert or hot. That is life or death situation. A flower grows six inches off the fucking ground. Right? It offers no shade shade you cannot eat it it is a drain on humanity the fact that we give

these things as gifts at least it looks pretty what about the people who just get plants and just fill up a whole studio with it what about that no shade oxygen we think clearer because of the streets the whole studio with it. What about that? Shade. Oxygen. LEDs.

Oxygen. We think clearer because of the streets. That's a good point though. Also a very blurry background if we don't have something to wrap it up with. If we want to get into

the production of it. For the film buffs. Yeah. But like girls do want like the story. Honestly if you want to make a billion dollars you open up a jewelry store

but you sell a product and a story with it. That's the trick. Can you give an example? Because like you go to a jewelry store, but you sell a product and a story with it. That's the trick. Can you give an example? Because you go to a jewelry store, you buy jewelry. What's the story of your shirt? Can you tell us? This is a woman's shirt. There's buttons on the other

side. Got out of the thrift store. I was like, yo, this is sick. Put it on. I was like, it's a woman's shirt. I mean, that's a big woman. This is a teacher. I don't even fill this out, bro. This is my metric. If I can fill this out, that's a big woman. This is a teacher playing right there. That's a catcher. I don't even fill this out, bro. This is like my metric. If I can fill this out, that's what I know I made.

Okay, no, break it down. The story and the product. Because the girl wants to know you suffered to get it. You know what I mean? Like if you just bring her flowers, she's like, oh, that's nice. You know, you bring her like jewelry from the store. She's like, oh, it's pretty. But if you're like, I got this.

It was the last one. I haggled with the guy. It was pouring rain. I ran home. I lost a foot. And now it's yours. And I brought it to you. I feel like, I got this. It was the last one. I haggled with the guy. It was pouring rain. I ran home. I lost a foot. And now it's yours, and I brought it to you. I feel like they like it more. Because if flowers—

There's suffering involved. There's a story involved. You guys called effort. Remember when you guys fucking bodied me on that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Effort, exactly. So you need to have a store that gives guys— Maximum effort.

But they just tell you what to say for the effort. Now, once girls know about this store, it's fucking over. Yeah, but it's on the inside. They don't know. That's the thing. We got to block. We got to put something on the outside of that store that women would never like. Do you know what I mean?

Like, discount. Or, like, we have to put something on the outside that would make a girl never go in. So, something sort of, like, blocking. No, but I think the guy just sees, oh, it's a guy shopping alone. Discount sporting goods. Discount sporting goods. I'll slide the card across the table. Hey, give this to your girl, and then also tell her this story and she's gonna

love it way more that's it yeah yeah yeah you're gonna have one simp that snitches and then it ruins his everything just deny it deny it one guy trying to break up a guy and his girl you know he made that shit up yeah he didn't even fight any animals to get it to you story though to anything especially especially product, is so valuable. You know what I mean? You pointed that out as the end of Game of Thrones where the most powerful thing in the world is a story. You pointed that out, how true that was, and I was like,

yeah, fuck. Well, dude, think about it. Even your watch that you have on right now, right? Omega Speedmaster. Yes. This is known as the moon watch. Yes. That watch has so much more value because it's tied to people landing on the fucking moon how awesome and lucky are they like even the corvette yeah the corvette is what you got if you're an astronaut yes that's why the corvette is this amazing car now obviously it has like you

know tons of horsepower for how affordable it is and it's an american muscle car yeah yeah it's the astronaut car yeah Yeah. You came back, you get a fucking Corvette. I want to drive the thing that the people that go to space drive. Yeah. You know?

Really in marketing. Attaching story. Hey, where are you going after you win the Super Bowl? Hey, where am I going? Disney World. I mean, that's maybe like a small,

but like attaching story to products. I know you were like being silly when you were saying that, but like you're 100% right. Yeah. I do think attaching that story to the product.

So think of the marketing guy who went to Chevy or whoever and was like, yo, we're going to give the astronauts Corvettes. And you know what we're going to do? We're not going to put the Ford logo on it. Or the Chevy logo. It's going to have a Corvette logo. What's a Corvette logo? We're going to make one that makes it look like a race car. We'll have the fucking flags on it, right?

Isn't that like, and that's a smart decision. It's its own car, the Corvette. Yeah. Even though we know it's a Chevy. I didn't know it was a Chevy. There you go. Isn't that interesting?

I thought that was a different brand. I mean, that is kind of, and I guess we do that as well in our business, but really tying in story, what does this movie mean? What is this movie really about? These stories are how, listen, the most potent books that exist to this day that have been here for thousands of years are what? They're all stories, right? They're not a list of fucking things.

The Bible is a story. A bunch of stories, right? The best stories. For some reason, we just attach ourselves to these fucking stories, man. Maybe it's how we organize the world. I mean, like, even the most, I was watching, like, a Bill Clinton fucking interview and like the way he answered the questions, every question had a, every answer had a story. And I was like, man, like that is some fucking next level shit.

Like not, here's my opinion. Well, let me tell you why, you know, in 73, I met, there was a guy that came up to me outside of a gas station, and he said this. Yeah. And it was like, how, I don't know. I remember, like, watching that, and I get lost in it, and there's always a great little payoff at the end. And it's like, wow, you kind of like stand up. It's like you rewarded the person for listening. Yeah.

And the most significant part is that you remember. And you remember. Like, how long ago did you see that speech or whatever? And you still remember. It's like your brain, to survive, is going to attach itself to stories. Why? What is the biological? I'm assuming just to survive.

I don't know the answer, but I'm assuming, like, okay, in order to survive, when someone tells me some information about the fucking world, about the planet, like, hey, don't eat those pigs because they got the devil in them and actually, like, the meat is fucked up. And now I remember not to eat the pigs way better than someone just going, don't eat pigs. There's an emotional tie with it. It's like the memory palaces.

Like, have you ever heard someone do heard someone do a memory test or whatever? What is that? This is fascinating. They'll do like, so they have these memory world championships where people try to memorize the number of, the order of cards in a deck. And the world champion is able to memorize every card in order of 60 decks on a table. That guy Jim Quick, remember? We had him on there.

He was one of those guys. And he's like, okay, yeah, Jack of Spades, on a table. That guy Jim Quick, remember? We had him on there. He was one of those guys. And he's like, okay, yeah, Jack of Spades, Ace, like able to go through all of them, 60 cards. And like the way that some people do it is they'll do memory palaces. We're like, okay, I walk in my house. I see the Jack of Spades in the corner and the Jack is actually like a jester

that's in the corner and he's dancing. And then he on his shirt has a heart on his shirt and it's this two of hearts. And then he's his shirt has a heart on his shirt and it's this two of hearts. And then he's able to create a path in his brain out of a story. Use an actual map that you're familiar with. Exactly, yeah. And then you attach these things

that you want to memorize to the map. Yeah, exactly. And then for whatever reason, it like locks in in that way. But you're creating a story. You're creating a story of you going through your home, I guess. Yeah.

And maybe based on things you're already familiar with. Yeah. But I'm assuming it's gotta be survival. Like all And maybe based on things you're already familiar with. Yeah. But I'm assuming it's got to be survival. Like all those like old Jewish, like Levitical laws and shit. Like, yo, don't eat this thing because it's bad. And it's like a story from God. God came down. He's like, yo, don't eat shellfish.

It's not because you're going to make you throw up. Right? It's because God came down and this is going to happen. You're going to get punished because that is, I always thought that was like raise the stakes so they really don't eat it but maybe it's just make them remember not to eat it i think that's what it may be a little combination of because it's like what's a coincidence it's like it's not hard to think don't eat a bottom feeder right because you can't really track what's gone through its body from top to bottom and then they put the story afterwards

like and here you go yeah yeah blah blah. I said, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And more content to read and discuss over and over again. No, but I think it's just, it's much more digestible. Like, it is just a more digestible version of information. And then you get the same end result. You bring up stand-ups. I'm not even saying it as a joke. You think about the stand-up who might have had the longest staying power prior.

And Cosby. And Cosby's all stories. Look at Bert. Bert. The machine. This is like an amazing story. Yeah, the things that we attach ourselves to. There's got to be something biological.

Yeah. Right? It's just... I think if you can just get people to play, you can play people's emotions, that's the most powerful thing. And stories play the emotions. Yeah, I mean, you even look at like Chappelle,

like as he's continued to like evolve as a stand-up, like everything is almost wrapped into story. Yeah, fucking, what's Bird Revelation? Where he's at the comedy store and he talks about Iceberg Slim. Yep. That story, and then he does the Emmett Till thing in Equanimity. It's beautiful storytelling. Our attention span increases for story. Yeah.

We have a lower attention span for just like information. But information that's wrapped into story. Yeah. We have a lower attention span for just like information. But information that's wrapped into story. Yeah. It's also like what else was there to do for most of human history? We didn't have TV.

We didn't have TikTok. We didn't have these things. We had stories. So our brains are built for them. Sit around, eat food, tell stories.

Interesting. I'm assuming there's got to be a survival component. I mean, we still sit around and ingest stories just through television and movies.

We just let other people do it. We're talking about The Godfather. It's just a story. It's a book. It's a thing. But I'm assuming

that's the biological programming is from just sitting around a fire. This is how powerful a story is. Godfather is a book that's a story. Then they make a movie

that's a story about the book. And they're making a movie about the story. And now they're making a story about the making of the story. The making of the story.

And the podcast is reviewing the... yeah no i for me and yeah i'm sure we all feel this way but like story is the thing that i'm most fascinated by it's the thing that i most uh admire yeah you know like yeah i just i think that people who are great storytellers and these are like filmmakers you know like i think that is just such an incredible skill and i think that people who are great storytellers, and these are like filmmakers, I think that is just such an incredible skill. And I think that you can fill the gaps with maybe less acting chops when you have an absolutely amazing, engaging story. And those things are just few and far between. Yeah. There's a few storytellers out there that are just absolutely incredible.

Like fucking Christopher Nolan, dude. Like Chris and Jonathan Nolan, like they have a skill to tell stories, man. They get it. It's a fucking science to them. Or maybe it's more than just a science. Maybe it's not just, you know, numbers and shit. Maybe it's like for whatever reason, they have this like emotional connectivity to it and they can just produce it. And it's a language that they speak.

But like even that movie that came out with the time that was confusing as hell, like you got to be so good at telling stories to even try to mess up time. Like the whole thing about story is it's linear. It's like that's the super flex. Like what if time wasn't linear? Which movie is that? It's called Tenet. No, Tenet. But he did well with movie is that? It's called Tenet. No, Tenet.

But he did it well in Interstellar. I mean, Interstellar was so incredible. But I just feel like it's like, what if you mastered story? How do you keep flexing? How do you keep pushing to the next level? Let me just tell the story all wrong. And see if that works. I'm so bored with storytelling.

Let me try this. Oh, man. And see if that works. I'm so bored with storytelling. Let me try this. Oh, man. Yeah. I would love to just take class in that. But I don't know if they even have to be linear for the stories. That's an assumption because that's how we normally tell stories. But if you look at all those storytelling guides, like Dan Harmon's Story Circle. Story Circle. All that shit.

It's not necessarily linear. Yeah. It's just like these beats happen in this order. It's not necessarily linear. Yeah. It's just like, these beats happen in this order. It's still a payoff. Yeah, exactly. But like, that payoff can happen

at the, like you can rearrange those pieces like anachronistically as long as those pieces all happen in that order. I think Pulp Fiction is a good example.

Yeah, I was just going to say that. Because it wasn't linear, but I think that just the way that we consume things, it kind of makes sense to do it.

So like, you got to be very confident in your storytelling ability to mix and match. I remember as a kid, I didn't understand what happened in Pulp Fiction. I was like, I don't, I'm such a linear thinker.

I was like, I don't, but you can now turn it on at any time and just watch it for 20 minutes. But, but for that reason, yeah, you have to be an absolute master in that space. Otherwise it's like art house films can break that all the time.

But for the general public, like I'm green lighting these crazy budgets because we know on average, people want this payoff. And that's like, art house films can break that all the time, but for the general public, like, I'm greenlighting these crazy budgets because we know, on average, people want this payoff. And that's just... Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yo, you want to rip through feelings, no facts? Yeah, let's do it.

Okay. You know what's real quick, what's crazy about Pulp Fiction is the most dramatic scene is the middle of the story that they put at the end. The Samuel L. Jackson diner scene, I'm trying real hard to beat the shepherd. Oh, yeah.

That's the climax of the movie, but it's not the climax of the story. Yeah. Hold on one second. We'll just wrap up and then we can get into that. But yeah, yeah, yeah.

That is, I didn't realize that that was the fucking climax of the story. That's the climax. It's just a random, it's the fucking scene at the diner

and Samuel L. Jackson makes this beautiful speech, but it's actually the middle of the story. Yeah. Because at the end, there's crazy shit that happens in the middle of the movie. It's like, oh, fuck. That's sad.

But that's not the climax. The climax is the speech. Yeah. That Ron White tater salad story. It's like, it starts here, but then the payoff is back in time. That then pays off in the present. Yeah. What's up, everybody? Say hi to the Truffle.

Listen, thank you guys so much for watching. Flagrant, if you want some more, you know we got some more. That Patrioni, okay? Sign up for that Patreon. We got a full episode coming out Friday. Patreon.com slash flagrant2. I'm going to see my shorty's parents. What am I supposed to do?
