So what was the issue? Are you like limp? No, I'm not limp, okay? I get pretty hard. Oh, I believe you. I do get pretty hard.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I believe you. Do you want to know what the special's about or not? Sure. Alright, it's basically this. The doctor puts the embryo in my wife. The second he puts it in, I'm like... No one says your sperm is like a sea plump. Blacked out. The doctor puts the embryo in my wife. The second he puts it in, I'm like, ugh. You know what I'm saying? Your sperm is like a C-plot.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Blacked out. Shame, shame, shame. At this point, I realize she thinks I suck my own dick. Was that? Did you just clip montage me? Yeah. You clip montage. You want to battle with me?
Starting point is 00:01:40 You want to clip montage battle with me? Four decades in the movie business. You want to play this game with me? No, you just said you wanted no one to- Why don't you get a little of this? Come here. I couldn't get the rights to the movies. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Yeah, we reached out and it was like a whole- What kind of special is this? Do me a favor. Don't watch the special. It's not for people like you. What the fuck is that? People like me? Yeah, people like you.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I'll watch your fucking I'm shooting blanks comedy special as much as I want to. I'll watch it twice. As a matter of fact, where's it playing? I don't want to tell you. I just, Netflix, okay? But don't do that thing where you like embarrass me. No, no, I wouldn't want to embarrass you.

What world do you live in, man? We're in a diner in Chelsea. Matt? I will tell whoever I want to tell, whenever I want to tell.
Starting point is 00:02:49 You're not gonna tell us. Yeah, watch this. Oh, Jesus. Hey, everybody, this dumbass right here has a special about his low sperm count, and it's on Netflix! Wait, what's the date? I forgot.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Just remembered it, dipshit. March 4th. March 4th on Netflix. Bum bum! You're welcome. You feel better? Mm-hmm. You feel you got it all out? That was a good promo. Yeah, that was pretty good. Is that the same baby from American Sniper? Sorry! What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flaygrin. If you already saw Yeah, that was pretty good. Is that the same baby from American Sniper? Yeah. Hey!
Starting point is 00:03:27 What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flaygrin. If you already saw that, thank you very much for watching. And again, I appreciate you. Special's out March 4th on Netflix. That's Tuesday, March 4th. So next Tuesday. Damn, already a week away. Hell yeah. Yeah, shout-out Matt Damon, bro.
Starting point is 00:03:41 What was that like? Your neighbor? He's just a legend. There's a funny take that we did not use, and I was, like, bullying Dove into doing it. But you know the line where he gets up and he goes Andrew Schultz is a special where his balls are made out of oatmeal So in the skit dove looks at the oatmeal and then he just puts it down. I know you know, it'd be even Shultz has a comedy special about how his balls are full of oatmeal. Now to get him to do that, we went through like 10 different takes. Also, Dove is so adorable because like there's this moment for the cutaway and he's like, it's like he's George Clooney. Like he is locked in, he's coming up to me. He goes,
Starting point is 00:04:22 so what do you think my motivation is? Am I nervous, am I anxious, am I shocked? You're gonna be like, you're gonna be. Donner's actually such a good actor. He's a really good guy. He's annoying. But you also, it's also, I don't understand, it's like you're acting a piece with fucking the Marshall. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So he's coming, it's like, what do you think it is? And I was like, yeah, I think that you're eating oatmeal and somebody says your balls are mad, so you're grossed out, and he goes, okay, so I would look up, right? Yeah. I'm like, well, I don't know, if Matt Damon was at a diner and you were eating
Starting point is 00:04:50 and he started giving a speech, would you look up? He goes, yes, I probably would. We did more takes on Dove eating that oatmeal than me and Matt doing the entire time. Yeah, it was an hour. It was an hour. How did you get into character for that role? What was your...
Starting point is 00:05:01 I went deep. And I think what I locked in on, someone wrote in the comments, I guess, Middle Eastern Romano. Yeah, he made the middle eastern Romano. No, but it was like we had a food decorator, and it was like, oh, it doesn't plop. Now you got to add milk to it, make it runny.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I went lefty, so I protect the face. He went lefty. I mean, he really put himself out there. Do you know how hard it is for Dub to do a scene where he doesn't eat food? Like, he was like, that's really difficult. No, but shout out Matt Damon, man. Shout out Matt Damon.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Go, Collegal Legends. Absolutely incredible. I literally hit him up. I should like see the text. Like, I'm basically asking him to say no in the text. And like, I probably rewrote that text 40 times. Of course. Right, because I don't want to be like too, was it, presumptuous? I can't like assume you would say yes to doing this.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And I know you have a million different things. Legend. Shout out Tory Lanez, bro. Tory, we need you on the pod. You need that promo with Tory Lanez, bro. Freestyle from prison? Did you hear like one of his songs got cut off by a fight that broke out? No. Like he was recording, I I guess through the phone.
Starting point is 00:06:06 That's hilarious. And in the background like a riot happened. That is hilarious. Oh, that's far. The tour is 5'3". Yeah. That's the first cheeks that are gone. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:14 So, but no, I hit him up and I was like, dude, please say no to this. You have way too many things to do to be busy about this, but I got a funny idea for a promo for the special. If you're down, you let me know. And he was like, yeah, can we do it between eight and three? That's when the kids are at school. And I was like, yeah. Yeah. He goes, what day is good for you?
Starting point is 00:06:35 I go, what day is good for you? Yeah, exactly. Before this, I hadn't really thought it was gonna happen. So I had a loose idea. And the second he did it, it became even more anxiety. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because then I gotta write something funny. So I wrote this thing with a couple guys.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Mark was definitely helping out, Joey Avery's helping out, and then immediately I was like, I cannot fuck this up. So I hit up Neil, Neil Brennan. And Neil was fucking awesome. Yeah, he's great. Neil was awesome. So Neil was really helpful.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And then he was like, hey, I got to go film the Odyssey Friday. Do you think we could do Thursday? Wow. I was like, oh, you got to go film Christopher Nolan's movie. You're the star of it? Yeah, sure. I think we can work around your schedule. So you asked him the way that you actually did it in the sketch.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Pretty much. Where you were like, yeah, you won't do this. You probably don't have what it takes to do this role. He's like, I'll fucking do it. I've been to Thursday. That's what Neil found. Neil was like, listen, if you tell a guy from Boston what to do, or not to do something,
Starting point is 00:07:31 he will do it just because that's the energy. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, but yeah, he said he was down to it. And I gotta give him credit for a lot of the funny too, because when we were riffing in the trailer, which was a surreal moment, to be riffing a scene. Are you nervous in that moment? Yeah, I wasn't nervous, but I had like an adrenaline dump afterwards. Afterwards, I just want to go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah. But like I was in there with the director. Shout out Mel B. Mel B. Mel B. Director. Andrew. What's his name? Is Andrew Melber Melby? Melby. I'm by Melby.
Starting point is 00:08:01 We're Melby. That's Melby. But yeah, we're just in the trailer. And like he's like, you know, it'd be kind of funny. He would bring up these little lines. He's like, it'd be kind of funny if like, when you're trying to explain about the limp, the joke thing, I do the dad joke. He's like, what if I just like, what if I just, I realize I asked you something that doesn't make sense?
Starting point is 00:08:19 He's like, you can use that in your skit. And then I realize and I just talk right over. And then like, what if you say you don't know the date and I go, just remember to dipshit like a lot of the funny is him. I want to give him. Justin remembered to dipshit is so good. It's great. It's great. Also, when do you get to see Matt mean?
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah. Yeah. That's why I pitched him. I was like, dude, every year, you're the best. Everybody loves you and everything you do. Yeah. Well, I will say I feel like some of his best roles, he is like a villain. And that's when he's funny. Yeah. He's like a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah. Like the departed. But he always plays the nice guy actually bad Yeah, he's so likable that when he does the villain turn, yeah, you're like what the room for? Yeah. Yeah Also, I didn't get the American sniper thing. Yeah, and then I didn't get out It's like comical. So in American sniper They have this really dramatic scene where the main dude is like with his child, like arguing with his wife. Bradley Coother, right? And it becomes, it became a whole thing apparently. I didn't know this.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It's like an internet meme because it's so obviously a fake baby. Oh, hilarious. And he's just like chatting with her. Oh, okay. Look at the hand. And he's just like chatting with her. Oh, okay. Look at the hand. He's trying to make the hand movement shit. It does look exactly like you're a fake baby.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. We had Shiloh there and I was like, I'm not. Yeah. There's no way. Well, one, I didn't want to put her in obviously no free clout. No Work for this, you know, you're gonna give it to her for no reason. Yeah, but also like her around Breakfast food we would Expensive until I had a daughter I didn't realize that fruit or blueberries or any of shit All right, is your kid eating blueberries yet?
Starting point is 00:10:05 No, but he's grabbing shit. He all of a sudden, food became interesting to him recently. We didn't know this. So we just like sat down to eat and then just immediately cuffed, just flying everywhere. Fucking shit up. On the ground. I think blueberries are like the size of a nipple.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Oh, interesting. And I think, or my wife's. Yeah, you're giving a lot of weight. Sweet as bad. GMO'd up. This is a child having conversation. Or my wife's.

Starting point is 00:11:06 My wife tried to hit me with that's how the baby knows where the nipple is. Well, is that true? Why isn't she going for mine? Scraggly's on mine. You'll come to find this out. It helps the baby find the areola when it's darker. That's what they say. So they don't got yank them shits out of their titties anymore.

Starting point is 00:17:14 That's a re-rated movie. If you see her and then his wife is like, what you doing here? She must be looking ass or some shit like that. Like, it gotta be something more. Also when you're on the sidelines and it's just like the most diesel, testosterone-induced dudes ever, and there's one girl that's there. And she got the Sarah Palin glasses on.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That's true. That's nailing Palin. Yeah, you might have to nail it. She's also a freak. Wait, oh yeah. By all intents and purposes. You know what I mean? I mean, the things that she was saying,
Starting point is 00:17:41 you should never say to another man besides your husband. That was nuts. Barely even say that. I'd hate for my girl to say that to me. I'd be like, what the hell? You're a mother. Why are you saying this? Why don't you do that? Do you talk different to your girl now? I mean, I always kind of did. I don't know. I was like, I was never into like something too freaky because I was like, ah, this feels. But now that you have a kid, do you guys,
Starting point is 00:18:01 like when you guys are doing dirty talk, when you like. What dirty talk? No, but when you're like, there's nothing happening And the body of Christ Come on I'm just saying when you guys are throwing Bible quotes to each other, I'll hit over the song every now again What song there's some slutty Psalms, know this? And I turned you into dust. Damn. So you let other men do the wrist for you? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's like listening to music. Like guys will play Miguel and bang their girl. It's like, yeah, you're letting Miguel dirty talk. He already testified this shit. That's fucked up. That is fucked up. We gotta be thinking, bro. Wait a minute, hold on.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Wait a minute, that is a good point, Kim. Yo, listen to music and just let another guy dirty talk your girl and you're paying stream money for it. You're being a cuck basically. What about girls? You're gonna fuck to a girl singing? Dude, a wap or whatever that shit is called. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Hold on. No one's ever had sex to a girl singing. That's never happened. I don't think. Name one song by a woman that you would have sex with. Dina Howard. What's that one? What's T-shirtshirt and panties? What? What the fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:19:07 She'll play around the same thing. I put on Let It Go. When they're like, I didn't come yet, I'd be like, hit it. Hit it, A Dina. But yeah, dude, there's a... You can't be getting cucked out. You got to just put on beats. That's it.
Starting point is 00:19:23 You can use two tight beats. Yeah, just beats. Future type beats. Can't have no other dude's voice in the room. I agree. I never liked the music. It always seemed too contrived. It always felt like, oh yeah, we're getting like this.
Starting point is 00:19:33 What have we done? And this is coming from the guy who has Seinfeld playing in the background. What the fuck? Yeah, he did. That's how long I knew I would go. And they're like, oh, I made it a whole episode. You and Zee's had the same game? 22 minutes. Getting your dicks up to Seinfeld?
Starting point is 00:19:50 I mean, I ain't catching the d*** case, so I catch some good. Free Zee's, bro. He offered her a glass of red wine. Yeah, what the f*** is wrong with that? Should've went white, bro. He did. That's how he got in trouble.
Starting point is 00:20:04 No, I thought she was black. No.. That's how he got in trouble. No, I thought she was black. No, I thought it was a black girl. Come on, you think... Good riddance. No, he's got fucking railroaded. That is anti-Indian racism. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Like this girl going out on a date with an Indian guy, they're like, yeah, I'll see this. Like everyone believes that. And then everybody just. That's true. Yeah, that's anti-Indian racism. We got to stop that. We got to stop believing it. You're saying?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yeah. Son, I saw a TikTok where they sell in Bangladesh, they sell tickets on top of the train. Deadass. No, I can't pay for that. Look it up right now. They got inside seats and outside seats and they it up right now. That's corruption. They got inside seats and outside seats. And they got hang on seats. That's corruption.
Starting point is 00:20:48 You can't charge for the top. We need Doge, bro. Yeah, they need Doge. They need Doge. India would never. If they don't do it anyway, might as well make some money off it. Fair, I guess.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I mean, I can't find the ticket, but... I mean, they got this shit, bro. That's fire God, maybe shooting a music video. So we be having subway surface Yeah, you can get a fire music video like that. Imagine we they not like us but that imagine Imagine you pulled up to that right? Yeah, you know nothing about the culture or anything. You're just a tourist from Canada you show up Isn't there part of you like, where's that train going? They know something I don't like.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Right? Like, don't you want to go wherever the fuck that's going? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that doesn't seem like I'm going to work, right? That seems like a trip to a place. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait till you get there. And the English think they invented the double-decker bus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:41 The audacity, right? The audacity. You think that's where they got the idea? Yeah. They're like, yo, people like being oncker bus. Yeah, get out of here, dude. The audacity. You think that's where they got the idea? Yeah. They're like, yo, people like being on the top. Yeah. Damn, they really take everything from y'all. Yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:51 They really did. Yeah, it's fucked up. Fucked up, man. Can I ask a question about the Matt Damon thing? Yes, please. When he, he like says a line and you go, oh, we couldn't afford the rights, and he throws it. Throws the bacon.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Was that him? What was that, what was it? He throws the bacon. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so fire. Like, actors are so good at shit He throws the bacon. Was that him? What was that? He throws the bacon. Oh yeah. That's so fire. Like actors are so good at shit that they can make things funny. Oh, little choice he made like when he said the red tube and he covered the baby's ears.
Starting point is 00:22:13 That was good, dude. And that was our fault. We didn't have coverage of him. There's like certain things that you want to have coverage of everything. Coverage just means like you want to film every single angle of it. And that's something I realized about Curb Your Enthusiasm that is so smart, is that every scene they shoot, I'm pretty sure,
Starting point is 00:22:32 what's that? I think they do triple coverage. Yeah, so they'll do a wide shot and then two side shots. And then the problem with it, there's not really a problem, but the scenes, if you're a fucking cinematographer, they look kind of like flat or whatever. There's not these like beautiful moves.
Starting point is 00:22:46 But the reality is what we care the most about is the interaction. And there's no way, like on a traditional sitcom, it's usually set up punch. But in Curb, it's argument. And the only way you could get them going is if you have them both covered and then just riffing. And one of the cool things about Curb
Starting point is 00:23:04 is you could see them break a little. Yeah, dude. There's one I always remember where Larry's friend, Richard Lewis, who passed away, but he's upset about something because I think he said Jerry stole, I mean, Larry stole his voicemail greeting, and he's like, I want you to change yours, by sunset.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And then Larry laughs, he goes, by sunset? Who are you, Gary Cooper? But you could tell by sunset made him laugh. And then Richard laughs at Gary Cooper. Gary Cooper's like some old cowboy movie guy. And so then Richard starts laughing and he's like, change the thing. And it's like, oh, y'all are both just making each other
Starting point is 00:23:34 laugh right now. So how much do you think like going into, let's say you're going into curb and you're not like a newbie, you have a relationship with them. How much are you keeping in the tuck to surprise them for real? And how much are you going over beforehand? Like this would be a funny thing to say. Apparently he just goes in and says like, this is what the scene is about. And then you guys go.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah, I thought they have a skeleton, like where it needs to start, where it needs to end. They'll do one run through and then they do another run through where it's like, ah, riff as much as you want. Just start building it. And then they just try to splice it. But if you got a banger, you save it for that second run through. Yeah. Like what some people do is they wait
Starting point is 00:24:08 until they get their coverage. Yeah. So like, if you're not on camera, you're kind of going through the motions in a second. You get it. Yeah. What some people do. I didn't know that that's what people do.
Starting point is 00:24:20 So like, when you're super low on the call sheet, like when nobody gives a fuck, like, every role I've ever had, I'm not even on camera, and I'm, like, giving it my best. And I'll have lines of, like, ooh, I got that shit, that was fire. And then it'll come back to my coverage, and then all the actors leave. And you're just there with the stand-ins.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Like, I just used my hot shit, but I can't run this back. Bro, me and Miles were just watching a video of Celine Dion getting upstaged by a singer. And when they did the run-through, the rehearsal, he was kind of phoning it in. Oh, wow. And then they got on TV in Sweden and he fucking crushed. And you just see her face just go like, what the fuck is this guy? She gets pissed. You have a little.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Hold on, let me let me pull this up. See, now he's doing too much. I mean, kind of fire, dude. If you're that guy, apparently he's like a super famous, like, Swedish singer. So this was the moment. And she was like, oh, I'm going to do him a little favor. I'm going to like go on his little show and like help him out. Yeah. And then he busts that out.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I love watching those videos. She looks tired about it. She's not happy. You brought me to Stockholm for this fucking last. You're a motherfucker to embarrass me. Ravish smoothie. Can you share what the Mad Damon cutaway was going to be? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It was first like it was before he agreed. I was like, yo, all you got to do is you just got to be there. And what the fuck was it? I was like, yeah, I got a special. I actually forgot. It was going to cut away to a bunch of his films. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So the original one was we were going to compete, right?
Starting point is 00:25:51 And I show mine. And then he goes, oh, you want to play this game with me? I'll play it. Let's fucking, you want to play this game? Let's play this game. And then he goes, and it's all of his greatest films, right? And then the last scene is behind the candelabra, the one where he plays Michael Douglas's boyfriend. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And he's like hooking up with Michael Douglas. And I'm like, did you mean to keep that last one in? And he's like, yeah, it's some of my best work. And I was like, yeah, this, right? Bro, I had never seen this. This is fire. So Michael Douglas with a wig looks hella like Al Pacino.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Oh, right. Oh, right. Right. See, you see that? They make everybody do that. He did this after he made it. Bro, you got to love David. That's how you stay in. Even like the boss in him that kind of comes out here a little
Starting point is 00:26:43 bit, he's like, I'm not going to kiss you back. You can kiss me, but I'm not gonna like kiss you back. Kiss me. I'm not gonna go. I love when Akash almost looks away. Akash can't watch these videos. Yeah. But you sort of tuck your head but keep it looking in the right direction.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna forget to remember what I'm gonna jerk off to late. I don't want to walk to with you guys. Bro, do you have an armpit fetish? You ever talk about that? No. I was talking to Lil Pete, and he's got a big old foot fetish.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Shout out Lil Pete. The ledge, Lil Pete. He's got big foot fetish. I like him even more now that I know that he's a I was like, how can he have a foot's good? He's like, oh, if the middle toe is longer, it's terrible. Yeah, second toe, but yeah. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah, if the middle toe is longer, you're an orangutan. The second toe shouldn't be longer, but yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the second toe is longer, you're an orangutan. The second toe shouldn't be longer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the second toe. And I was like, oh shit, so he's got the same brain as y'all. Yeah. And then he was like, but the thing I like more than feet, armpits. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:35 And I was like, all right, what do you like about him? And he started showing me the armpits he likes. Okay. All right. Yeah, I never thought of this, but I'm open to it. I'm open to it. This is why the birth rates are going down, bro. Why?

Starting point is 00:28:15 Here we go. Oh, armpit. Oh. That's, again, these look like standard armpits to me. Yeah. But I don't even see a difference. But you wouldn't lick it or anything? No.
Starting point is 00:28:25 All right. Why? What does like wouldn't I lick is a question? He says every time he's with a girl the first thing he does he licks their armpits, oh, that's you know First thing that's not check the feet of the future good armpit licking What's the grossest shit used to do during a hookup?

Starting point is 00:29:14 And then I remember I did that once and it was like passionate part of the moment and I did it and I remember. I kissed him and I like spit a little saliva in her mouth and I remember she just went, what the fuck? Did you just spit out the saliva? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha No, I know you Already in there but champ kept going no

Starting point is 00:31:09 future. Okay. You don't have to be an expert, but remember this is about investing. I think that we've been manipulated and tricked to the benefit of many different companies out there to think that gambling is investing, just picking random stocks and hoping they're gonna skyrocket up and getting out quickly, that is not investing, that is gambling. Investing is putting your money, parking it, and letting compound interest take place, okay? What that money is, that same amount,
Starting point is 00:31:38 one year is gonna be so much more than you could ever imagine 20 years later, and that's gonna set you up for financial security. And that's the goal with Acorns, right? Yeah, they will recommend a diversified portfolio that matches your money, your goals, whatever it is. 100% Personalize. And that's what they're about. That's what they want to do, right? They're not charging you per transaction.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Okay, they want to do that. They'd be like all these other which are actually gambling sites, not investment sites, that are making money per thing. That's not what they're doing. What they're trying to do is set you up for financial security, or allow you to do that for yourself. Okay, you wanna do that for your kids. You can even do that for your parents, okay? You also don't need to be rich to do this. Acorns lets you get started with the spare money you've got right now, even if you've got spare change.
Starting point is 00:32:19 That's it, you could round up.

Starting point is 00:40:59 Doug left the room immediately. But no, these Chinese guys came in and I was like, yo, what do you want me to play? Is there any music you guys really like? And they're like, no, it's whatever. So I was like, you know, what do you want me to play? Like is there any music you guys really like and they're like, no, it's whatever So I was like playing like like a Chinese techno song or whatever. It was like an Asian techno song I was like, I was like, you know try to help me feel comfy And then by the end I was like, where you guys from by the way, they're like, oh we're Kazakh Oh
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah, wrong age. Yeah I didn't know Kazakhs looked Asian. Yeah. Kind of, yeah. I think the Koreans got over there somehow, man. Deadass. Are they the Koreans? Yeah, they're Koreans. I think they were Borat. Yeah, I think Koreans got over there.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Oh, wow. Look that up. Let me find out. Because there's a bunch of those Koreans in... They look like Middle Eastern-Asian mix. Yeah. I mean, that's probably that Silk Road shit, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that Silk Road shit too. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:45 But that guy Bivul, the guy who fought this past weekend, who was a phenomenal fight, Bitter Beer vs Bivul. Like, if you want to see highest level boxing, watch that. One and two. Two was this past weekend. Bivul won. And, but he's half Korean. So I think Koreans made their way into like the USSR somehow.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Oh, this is hilarious. In the 1930s, thousands of Koreans in the Soviet Union were deported to Central Asia, supposedly to prevent further Japanese espionage. That's one way of doing it. We put them in a camp. They just let them go to Central Asia. That's kind of nice. It's also hilarious.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Deporting Koreans to prevent Japanese espionage is really funny. Guys, guys. That's a valid point, actually. That's a good counterpoint. How the fuck, you don't think we had a couple mistakes with the Japanese internment camps? You don't think there was a Chinatown in some of those internment camps? Also, if they're Japanese and said they're Korean, you're going to be like, okay. But also they sent them to a country, but they already have a country.
Starting point is 00:42:38 It's like, like they could have sent them back to Korea. You're going to Kazakhstan. Fuck. Yeah, dude. Some of those deportation things are wild. My buddy Christophe, you know, Chris, yeah, he had a funny joke where he's like, you think on the deportation flights, when they send Mexican immigrants back to Mexico, the pilot still doesn't announcement. It gets on my like, hey, guys, it's gonna be a kind of bumpy flight going to Mexico City. Better luck next time.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Do they do the safety thing? It's just such a funny idea. You got to get deported and you also have a middle seat. You're like, fuck, dude. I mean, do we pay for the flight? How does that work? I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Yeah. And we just put them on Spirit Air and we just send them down there, I think. Yeah. And some people get first class. It's safest airline right now. Yeah, true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Have they not crashed at all? Mm-mm. Delta keeps crashing, Doug. Huh? airline right now. Yeah, true. That's true. Have they not crashed at all? Delta keeps crashing, Doug. Huh? Delta keeps crashing. They had one. They had one. They had another. No, they had another.
Starting point is 00:43:33 It was diverted because it was on fire, smoking or something like that. That happens, bro. I saw something that's probably fake. I was thinking about switching. But apparently there's been less crashes this year than any other year in recent history. It's just the... It's just in the news. Yeah, but there's a term for that.
Starting point is 00:43:50 It's a train derailment. What is that? Remember when in East Palestine, there was a train derailment, and then the next like four months, it was like, another train crash, this train got vandalized, the robbery on a train. And there's just all these train stories.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And it's like, yeah, train stories are hot right now because this big one. So let's just fill it up with train stories. I don't believe this. No, it was the same thing with migrant crime. Yes. That was the big story. So they were reporting every single time.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Here's what I'm saying. Train derailment, pretty big story. Migrant crime, that's like small things. Like you can't really ignore, you can ignore a thousand migrant crimes and just say, you know what I mean? But a fucking Delta flight flipping on its complete 180, that's a big story.
Starting point is 00:44:27 And if we're seeing more and more of those, then it's probably, like, it's never like they would under-report that before. That's always a story. You know, every one of the pilots that have crashed is... Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:44:38 It is... It is... You want to finish the sentence? If you could guess, what would it be? Gay? No, close. Pumpkin. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:50 He said the flight was flaming. I don't know. No, it's a female pilot. I don't want to make a big deal about it, because people have died, lost their lives. In the Toronto one, no one died, so you can make fun of it. Female pilot also, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it was also crosswind, right? So they say. But what happened? Apparently she didn't land, she didn't adjust well enough.
Starting point is 00:45:11 She was trying to parallel park it or something? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think she thought she saw a insect of some sort and then hit a fucking hard left and that shit just barrel rolled. That's what I think happened.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I think it's hard for them to control their emotions in those moments. And she freaked out. That's my personal opinion. You saw the video of all of them getting off the plane and the flight attendant grabbed the ass? What? You didn't see this?
Starting point is 00:45:34 Hold on, let me pull this up. This is hilarious. Hold on. You didn't see? No. Oh, there's a fire. Hold on, let me look this up. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Grabbed who's ass? The people coming off the plane. So people are filing off. They're like, everyone get off. Leave your stuff, leave your stuff leave your stuff flight attendants like just palms I think was a girl but still just like palmed that thing. I was just gonna switch to Delta do I still do this? I got no status with these guys. You gotta go Delta. And you'll be there you fly every single week.
Starting point is 00:45:57 You'll be there faster than anybody. You're also not looking for upgrades anyway right like you're buying yourself a first class ticket or whatever. Yeah, but I got that, the high-stance is kind of nice. They just hook you up, get on board early, all that little shit. You get on board early anyway, you're first class. Everyone's getting off, right? Oh! Oh no, she's deep.
Starting point is 00:46:17 No, she got in the hole. That was full on, right? She waxed before that and everything. She got fully caked up. Oh! Oh no, that's crazy. For no re- oh! With a double tap?
Starting point is 00:46:27 Unnecessary. I mean... IUD is readjusted. Yeah, IUD is completely readjusted. Anyway. I mean, that's crazy. You get off the plane, your girl's in front of you, just getting grabbed up. By that chick, I'm alright with it.
Starting point is 00:46:39 I'm good. You didn't help us put our bags up when we boarded, now you're grabbing ass on the way out. Now fucking Steve Smith Sr. is the flight attendant that we might have to... Alright, now what's the deal guys? We had a lot of conversation on the internet about Doge. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Seems like some people are pretty upset about this Doge.
Starting point is 00:46:58 I don't get it. I'm actually on board with what I'm hearing. What was John Stewart saying? No, John had a fire piece. John's a goat. Yeah, we loved... Obviously, I'm a big fan. I'm a fan, I'm a fan, I'm hearing. What was John Stewart saying? Now, John had a fire piece. He killed him. John's the goat. Yeah, we loved, obviously, I'm a big fan. I'm a fan, I'm a fan, I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:47:10 What'd he say? He's just saying, like, if you want to start cutting places, there's a lot of easier targets to cut. Play, if we got the piece, you could play, like, the first, like, 30 seconds or so. But they might bang us on YouTube. I guess, right. Yeah. All right, so go.
Starting point is 00:47:24 What does he say? But just like, hey, we can cut Pentagon defense spending. We can cut all this. Yeah. We can stop giving, what was it like hedge fund? No, no, it was the gas companies, like $3 billion in subsidies when they're already profitable by trillions of dollars. You know, doing the thing that John always does, which is like pointing out the most awesome things.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Yeah. And yeah, he's just brilliant at it. So here's the frustration with Doge. And we're having this talk about idiots too. It's a real bummer that this becomes such like a bipartisan conversation because, or no, a partisan conversation because there is bipartisan support for it. Yeah. Like I feel like every single American is like,
Starting point is 00:48:05 yeah, there's probably some government inefficiency. No one really trust the government that much anymore. They either don't trust the Republicans, they don't trust the Democrats, or they don't trust the institutions as a whole. So this is the time in history to go get some of the bloat out of government. Because we all seem to support it. Even Bernie Sanders is like, yeah, I don't agree with Trump on everything, but I do agree we
Starting point is 00:48:28 should look into that Pentagon budget. Why have they never been audited? Yeah. Like there is support here. And because of the way that they're maybe going about it, right? They're kind of, I don't even know if this has happened historically. Charlamagne was pointing out that like Clinton did it, but he did it through government. But because this guy who's this very polarizing figure, Elon, is coming in
Starting point is 00:48:48 and he's just seemingly hacking away at these different industries that are connected to government, some people feel like without any real justification. I guess maybe they don't understand why he feels so confident that he can cut these jobs. Yeah. Is that is that the concern? He's hired a lot back. And then some of them are hired back, which I think should happen. Yeah, I think that's fine. But I guess the tricky thing right here, I'm curious you guys take on this, is it like there's all the support. And because Elon is so polarizing, I actually think it's going to be harder to execute something that Americans
Starting point is 00:49:25 as a whole do want. So this is one of those things where being antagonistic and polarizing, being what Elon is, is actually hurting a very bipartisan supported effort, which is to clean up government. And I wonder if he can look at this and learn and go, oh shit, I'm actually doing something that people want to do, that people want in a way that is going to make it harder. Or do you think he just looks at it as a CEO and goes, I'm cutting and I don't give a fuck what you're doing. No matter. And that's just going to piss people off.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yes. But that's how he's done with every company. But government's not a company. Twitter. But go on, go on, go on. That's why they got him for it. They're like, hey, you gotta start treating the government like a company.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Which I don't disagree with in principle at all. I do. Cause it's like, these are government agencies that were put there to fix a problem. It wasn't like, hey, this is just a profitable thing that we just have to, our only concern is making profit. Here's where I would say, and it maybe goes in the middle ground
Starting point is 00:50:24 between what I'm saying and what you're saying. If you are not driven in some fashion by some kind of bottom line, there is going to be bloat. Because there's no incentive for the government to ever lay off anyone. And this is where I agree with what Vivek was saying. The government bloats because you can't fire anybody. Because why would you?
Starting point is 00:50:43 They're government employees. They don't have to work hard. They don't have to work hard. They don't have to do anything. This simple email, this seemed to cause, and to me, I'm an idiot, simply asking, what did you get done this week, is a very easy thing. And if you have trouble with that email,
Starting point is 00:50:56 to me, as an idiot, granted, it seems like you didn't do anything this week, probably, and your job is probably loseable. And I look at that as like, yo, who the fuck are you? I have people that I report to heads of my agency. They're the ones that I answer to. I'm not answering to some motherfucker who just was granted this power and unconstitutionally. And now I have to just I have to prove my worth to this guy.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Fuck you. I mean, can I Give a counterpoint. I got this message from Jason yesterday at 11 or 3 p.m. Guys, I don't recommend sending a Doge email to your wife to provide five bullet points of what they accomplished last night. That's Jason, dude. That's so good. That's really good. So, yeah. We should do that and just get the reaction. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. You're not doing that shit. I'm going to drop it right now and just see. There's no context.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I'm going to ask. Wait, how are you framing it? I'm going to say, hey, can you send me just a five bullet point message of what we got accomplished this last week? Yes. No, I can't do it. Mons is going to come back with like a list of 20. Mons is going to come back with like a list of 20. And she's going to be like, word?
Starting point is 00:52:17 I already told my wife what Jason texted the group. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, I did, yeah. She's too, me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's listening in live now. I wonder if that's even, I wonder if that's a real piece of change that he's trying to implement, or that's just an antagonistic measure to rile up the base.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I don't care either way. Send the fucking email. Right, right. To me, just send the email. Like, oh, I'm antagonized, so I'm not gonna report on what I did. If you did something, send the email. Well, what does it do?
Starting point is 00:52:51 I think that's, my question about it is like, what does it do? It just puts them in a position where they're gonna have to potentially lie. I just don't know if it's effective. Nobody's gonna answer that email. I've done nothing. You should probably fire me next.
Starting point is 00:53:03 They're gonna find bullshit that they did, so we don't actually get to clean anything up. And now you've got people bickering online over something we actually agree on. Yeah, they're also gonna use AI to analyze it, I think, which that might be easy to trick. What does that mean? I think they're getting all these federal emails
Starting point is 00:53:18 from thousands and thousands of people, so they're gonna have... To 5 million federal employees. So they're gonna have AI parse what people did on the top performing people and the lower performing people. Yeah. And so that seems gamifiable to me.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yo, I wonder if they if they went about this a little different, like instead of doing it on a person to person basis, which these emails are, right? Because that's when I I start to have empathy for someone who's about to lose their job and I said, hey, provide for their family. Right. And now I'm less supportive of these cutting measures
Starting point is 00:53:44 that Doge is doing, but rather analyze the different I don't lose their job and I said, hey, provide for their family. And now I'm less supportive of these cutting measures that Doge is doing. But rather analyze the different, I don't know what you would even call them. Like what would you call, it's not a business. Department? Department, yeah. Analyze these departments for inefficiency as a whole. Prove transparently to the American people
Starting point is 00:54:03 that there is inefficiency there. Like I thought the most effective thing they did, and I don't even know if it's true, is showed to the American people that there is inefficiency there. Like I thought the most effective thing they did, and I don't even know if it's true, is showed all the dead people that are still getting Social Security. Right? I don't even know if that's a real thing. But if you could actually show proof
Starting point is 00:54:13 that dead people were getting Social Security, like people who've been dead 200 years still getting Social Security, you have unanimous support from Americans who'd be like, all right, we'll cut that guy's Social Security. He's been dead 200 years. So start at the department, show the inefficiency, and then you could pass it off to the senators or whoever you want to pass some sort of legislation to cut parts of that department.
Starting point is 00:54:35 But when you go person to person and judging off the email, they said, now I start to feel like, well, shit, I had a lazy week last week, but two weeks ago I was working overtime every single night and you didn't email me then? Yeah, but I think Elon's perspective, and he reposted this thing from Milton Friedman, which is basically, they just go through every department and he just says, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it. I think Milton Friedman had three that he wanted to keep.
Starting point is 00:54:56 It was like Justice, I forget, there was like two others, I don't even remember. But everything else, gotta go. Cut all of them. So then why are you even emailing if you know what you gotta cut? Well I think that's what he's trying to do. He's trying to use that as proof to be like, yeah, else got to go. Cut all of them. So then why even email and if you know what you got to cut? Well, I think that's what he's trying to do. He's trying to use that as proof to be like, yeah, all these got to go. Oh, also, can we just do a little sports real quick?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah, because this is a big it's going to have, I guess, already happened. But tonight, Luca and the Lakers are playing Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks. So the first time since Luca got traded. So I truly believe Luca will score 60. Like not even a fucking question in my mind. Luca score traded. So I truly believe Luca will score 60. Like not even a fucking question in my mind, Luca score 60. I, whatever, if you wanna put money on Luca over, take it. This guy, first of all,
Starting point is 00:55:34 loves playing on nationally televised games. He's keenly aware of when those moments are and he always plays better. And he has an extra vendetta, like the Maps traded this guy and then just said he was fat and lazy and out of shape And he's gonna be like I will show you fat and lazy and out of shape and he had his first good game as a Laker on Friday. Oh, so now he's 35. He had like 36 18. So I'm like some crazy stat line. He's going to fucking destroy them
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah, I'm gonna love it. These guys are in these guys are insanely competitive. So obviously he's gonna go for it Do you think that the Lakers support it? Do you think the Lakers are gonna feed him all night? And I also think LeBron is such a... he's a battery in your back guy. Like, the difference between him and Jordan, and you can side however you want, but Jordan was a, I'm gonna take care of this guy, Kobe was an, I'm gonna take care of this guy. LeBron is, we're gonna take care of this guy,
Starting point is 00:56:19 I'm gonna put the battery in your back to give you your best performance. I guarantee you, LeBron's in his ear all week. You do whatever you gotta do. This is your show. You're the best player. I'm telling him everything. Is it in LA or Dallas? It's gonna be in LA.
Starting point is 00:56:30 The Dallas one is April 9th, I think. That would be fun. I wanna go to that game. Yeah, you should definitely. I wanna start a fucking Niko chant. How do you think Anthony Davis will go now? Hurt? Probably in pain?
Starting point is 00:56:40 Yeah, I've been seeing people. Fucking Laker fans, idiots. Yo, I was going off on the trade and so many fucking idiot Lakers fans were like, you don't know what you got in Anthony Davis. The first game he got hurt, quarter three, playing out of his mind for three quarters, hurt might be a season ending injury.
Starting point is 00:56:55 And apparently there's rumors that it was an injury that the Mavs, like the team knew he had, but they just pushed the trade through and forced it through. And then when they found out how bad it was, it didn't do an adequate physical, there's a rumor they tried to get the trade rescind forced it through. And then when they found out how bad it was, they didn't do an adequate physical. There's a rumor they tried to get the trade rescinded, but everybody had already played games and it was too late.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah. Oh, bunch of fucking. Bunch of fucking. Bunch of fucking idiots. And I hope Lucas scores 82 on you. I hope he eclipses Kobe. God bless Kobe, but I hope he does better. It's going to be exciting. You should watch.
Starting point is 00:57:24 And honestly, just bet the Lakers over. It's fun to root for white guys, right? Yeah, even if this has already happened, April 9th. Dude, yeah. It is. I'm pro DEI. It's exciting. I'm pro DEI, so I'm pro Luka.
Starting point is 00:57:36 I love a confident white guy. I love JJ Reddick. I love what the Lakers got going on over there. I love Austin Reeves. It's a white team. Hey, this is the only time Showtime is gonna be punctual. I love what the Lakers got going on over there. I love Austin Reeves. It's a white team. Hey, this is the only time Showtime is gonna be punctual. Guys, if you want to get your bets in, you go with Stake, okay?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Stake is the largest... The world's largest U.S. social casino. That is true. The world's largest U.S. social casino. It's the world's largest U.S. social casino. Yeah. Again, we don't know what that means. We are committed to never learning what that means. But if you find yourself at US social casinos
Starting point is 00:58:10 and you want to know which one is the largest. In the world? In the whole world. Rwanda don't got a larger US social casino. Definitely not, barely got a hotel. I think you go to stake and make sure to use the promo code flagrant for your welcome bonus Okay politics whatever you want to bet on whenever you want you do it over there at stake and make sure you use flagrant for that
Starting point is 00:58:31 Welcome bonus. Let's get back to the show pretty much going to every department and just firing everyone that's on probation Because those are the ones you can get away with firing because they're not you know, their job isn't actually finalized yet Got it. And it's like even that it's like alright so now all this young crop of people who are probably qualified because if they got hired in the first place, now you're just getting rid of all that. And now you're going to have just a bunch of old people who've been doing it the old way all this time. It's like, where's the change? Like, you're going to just have the same thing going on. And I don't know that that's necessarily true. Because usually what they do is they fire the old people because they make way more money.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Yeah, but they're firing all of their people on probation. But why would the young people be on probation? To clarify, it's not a punishment probation, it's a probationary hiring period. So maybe what they're doing is maybe the thought behind it is, hey, these people aren't even officially hired. And if we know that these departments have a lot of bloat, why would we fire the people that have been working there for decades and that's what they've committed their life to?
Starting point is 00:59:30 Why don't we lay off the people who haven't even started? I think that's what you start with, and then eventually they're gonna start cutting some of the bloat as well. I do think it's a multi-step process. I do think I'm okay with overcutting government right now because I know what will happen over time is things get added and added and bloated again. So it's just just like let's cut as much as we can now and then sure over time
Starting point is 00:59:49 That's a good point because this is not like a one-time fix you're gonna have to do this every single fucking year Yeah, and to the end of the country and unfortunately Probably are at a point where we're so bloated that we're gonna need some pretty drastic cuts And I do beginning I was in California this weekend, weather's obviously fucking awesome, all that, but you're like, oh, you're taxing us at 51% if you're in the top income bracket, but homelessness is still a rampant issue.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Education didn't seem to be very good, like public school system doesn't be. And I'm not saying taxes never work and not taxing always works at all, but there is, you have to accept that that money seems to be getting used inefficiently. At least in the states that get taxed the highest. So why not cut those budgets down,
Starting point is 01:00:30 see if the money can get used efficiently. At the very least we're not wasting our tax money. I talked to an FBI guy recently and I was asking about like cash Mattel and like shutting down the Hoover Building, all that stuff. He's like, you shouldn't shut it down. But he's like, there is so much bureaucracy and bloat within the FBI that you just have
Starting point is 01:00:44 like people that have been there for 20 Years that haven't done a case in like three decades Or like they've been there for their whole life haven't done a case in three decades and they don't know what's going on They get more risk-averse over time. So like he's like when I started I was getting assigned on all these jobs We were getting all these different cartels We were getting all these different organized crime things and now I'm trying to get assigned to stuff and they're like, ah, it's too risky Don't do it. And he's like, but my job is to go in and infiltrate and get these gangs So like what is my purpose and like slowly he was getting pulled back and put on more easier jobs like
Starting point is 01:01:12 Bustin buys and like little crack things and he was like this is a waste of time. Yeah, so they're getting more risk-averse They're getting more comfortable in their positions and he's like, yeah, you do need to get rid of a lot of people I wonder if that has to do with the reward matrix. Like with cops, I think in the city there's a quota to the amount of tickets they have to give out. So you could go and find the really egregious things and go give them a ticket, or you could wait in a dark side street of a place where you know guys do like drag racing a lot, and then clip them
Starting point is 01:01:48 every Friday night when they're drag racing. Like I wonder if you just gravitate towards the easiest things, which is the risk averse situation. But when it's the FBI, the thing that's gonna probably help the country the most is when you're going out the most dangerous. So now you're clipping this low level bullshit that isn't really helping the everyday person
Starting point is 01:02:04 just so you can meet your quota. So maybe you need to restructure the reward. Yeah. And again, multi-step process. I think this is step one. I don't think this is the perfect solution. I just like actionable steps being taken. I just wish they... Because I like the fact that somebody from outside is coming in to make these changes because I don't think people from within, money from outside is coming in to make these changes. Agreed. Because I don't think people from within, we can't ask you, hey, how can we take money away from you and how can we fire your people?
Starting point is 01:02:30 They're not going to ask. And if you were going to change it, you would have already done it. Exactly. But I think they should work alongside. So you have Elon working alongside with some of these department heads and things like that. And now it's like, OK, he's like,
Starting point is 01:02:42 what does this department do? What is this money for? You have to do a bit more surgical cuts than the way that they're now it's like, okay, he's like, what does the department do? What like what is this money for? Like you have to do a bit more surgical cuts than the way that they're doing it right now. Because you saw they fired people that were in charge of fucking the nuclear warheads and shit like that had to hire them back. And like that could have been a crazy mistake. Like, I know, I get what you're saying. Like there is risk to the overfire, especially in certain sectors. I agree. I just what you're saying. Like there is risk to the over firing. Especially in certain sectors.
Starting point is 01:03:06 I agree. I just don't necessarily think that risk is as, like I don't think the risk is so catastrophic. I think potentially firing these guys, we're not gonna be like, oh shit, a nuke got fired. Like it's just, we're not firing the guys that are. No, but that could have happened. I don't, I think that's a bit hyperbolic.
Starting point is 01:03:22 That's all I'm saying. Also you could hire them back. It's not like they're gonna work for like the nuke place down the block. Yeah. Yeah but they're the nuke guys. Yeah but we just don't know how much like other countries are targeting that thing. Like say if there's one person who's like cybersecurity protecting other countries from accessing our nukes and now we were just like with no security there for like a day or two. I mean if that was the one boom, they got in. If I'm like any of our ops, I'm trying to get a spy into Doge.
Starting point is 01:03:51 And I'm trying to get them to push cuts in certain sectors that would be advantageous for me as the opposition. So I want them to cut defense spending. I want them to cut any sort of like security apparatus, maybe it's a nuclear program. I would want them to cut development programs in AI or these other technological things that are really going to put America ahead of every other country in the world. Now, I'm sure there are certain measures that are put in place to stop that from happening, but that's kind of how I'm thinking about it. This is
Starting point is 01:04:23 like a once in a lifetime opportunity if you're in another country. Bro, the way these other countries do this shit is so wild. I was reading this story, I was talking to this FBI guy, and he was telling me this thing that he infiltrated that they had, there's a guy that's one of the top neo-Nazis on Twitter, and he has a bunch of Twitter accounts and he's just putting all this racist bullshit.
Starting point is 01:04:41 What's his name? Reynaldo Nazario is putting all this super racist shit like super racist shit, he just runs like hate pages. He's like, the Jews do this, black people do this, da da da, look at this crime, we gotta make America white. He's like a white supremacist. He lives in St. Petersburg. Wow. Russia or Florida?
Starting point is 01:04:56 In Russia, yeah, that's important. And yeah, he's in Russia. Apparently he's like a teacher that teaches English, but he's getting paid, like apparently someone like audited his bank account, like hacked into his thing. He's getting paid like millions of dollars to be like an English teacher allegedly and is pumping all this neo-nazi shit creating neo-nazis in America aggregating all these like incel kids and then Basically from st. Petersburg in Russia is like convincing them to do domestic terrorism and like they're literally putting in spies
Starting point is 01:05:21 Based like domestic terrorists infiltrating getting them riled up, somehow getting the money in some cases, aggregating all of them, getting them training techniques, sending them field manuals from the Marines and shit, and basically promoting them to do acts of terrorism. And half of these idiots don't even, no, I bet 99% of these idiots don't even realize they're being manipulated.
Starting point is 01:05:41 They actually think they're fighting a good fight. They're like, this guy's on point, he's got all the real research. I'm gonna go and do my YouTube, my YouTube or my Googling to find out why this is all justified. And you can find justification for anything. I mean, them motherfuckers believe the earth is flat.
Starting point is 01:05:55 So they are out there thinking they're doing the Lord's work when they're doing Putin's. Crazy. And then they're setting up like, yo, we're gonna shoot up this thing, we're gonna try to free this guy from prison, we're gonna go kill this family because they're communists. And they're going to shoot up this thing, we're going to try to free this guy from prison, we're going to go kill this family because they're communists.
Starting point is 01:06:06 And they're literally plotting all the shit, buying all the equipment. And this FBI guy infiltrated them to take them out. There's a guy, I forget his name, but he was bragging about how he was like one of the most viewed people on Twitter, right? And a lot of his shit is just like, the Jews do this, the Jews do that.
Starting point is 01:06:21 And they probably do, but... But that's what his Twitter is. And he was talking about it. He's like, yeah, I was one of the most viewed on Twitter. And I wonder if he even realized that those views might be amplified by our opposition. They want that unrest in America. This is perfect. And he's out there going, nah, the people really understand what I'm saying. They really care about what I'm saying. It's like, no, Russia does, China does. They don't even give a fuck about the Jews or not. It could be anybody. It could be Black Lives Matter. I'm sure that they were pumping the exact same people. They were shitting all over Black Lives Matter
Starting point is 01:06:49 Wow, yeah, this is the kind of information that we need out there Yeah, the people don't succumb to it because you get those views, you know, your tweets are popping You think you're lit? Yeah, you think you found out? Mm-hmm. Yeah, this is literally from the BBC this article this guy Nazar is running a militant group from Russia. Wow. And this is just one guy. Like, I don't even know how many other guys there are that are doing this kind of stuff. I'm sure we're doing the same shit. Probably. Over there. But they start to restrict their internet for that reason. Like, we act like they restrict the internet in these other countries because like they want to control the ideology
Starting point is 01:07:26 Within the country you can control the ideology within your country very easily Yeah, you can't control it from the outside Like I bet there's way more restriction other countries simply because they got to worry about their ops Hmm, and we are probably the best in it. Yeah Yeah, ooh Yeah, it's a what is a weird thing thing because I'm not anti-free speech. I think we should have free speech, but also people need to know how free speech can be used against them. So then that's the education process. Yeah. Yeah. You might see something, it's like some
Starting point is 01:07:54 racist guy on Twitter posting funny memes. You're like, oh yeah, that's kind of cool. But you get in with them and then you start messaging them and then they're like, oh yeah, come join our telegram or whatever. And then you get on a Zoom call with them. Then you get vetted by this guy in Russia. He does a one-on-one call with you to see if you're like, oh yeah, come join our telegram or whatever, and then you get on a Zoom call with them, then you get vetted by this guy in Russia, he does a one-on-one call with you to see if you're good, sends you an address to go to, you meet with the guys over there. You think Dan Bilzerian knows this?
Starting point is 01:08:12 Do you think he knows he's been tricked into doing this? Bro. Why has he become such like the Jews do everything bad? Like this pivot for him, like he was just getting, he was partying, getting pussy, shooting machine guns, and now all of a sudden he's like the Jews are to blame for everything Look at this hot right now. You get crazy news on it But does he not get views off the pussy anymore like have the whole culture moved away from it? And now he had to find another grift. Yes. Yeah, it's interesting to see these guys pivot
Starting point is 01:08:40 Yeah, and they all have pivoted in the same direction Like all the Manasphere guys are now the Jews are the problem of the world Yeah, not all but you've seen a lot of them gravitate into that space now. They're like political experts They're analysts on culture. It's just polluting the otherwise perfectly accurate message But it's like to see to exact groups pivot the message exactly. Do you think they know that they're being tricked and manipulated? I mean, yeah, I think they're all just kind of following whatever works.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Is it just the trend? Is it like, oh, this is hot on the internet, so I'm going to go? I don't have talent, so where's the views? Plastic bag in the wind, I'm just going to rouse it up. You're sounding like a little pill to right now, dude. You're giving them more credit than I think they deserve. I think a lot of them don't realize they're being manipulated. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, I agree.
Starting point is 01:09:31 They don't realize it, but I think what Akas is saying, oh, I thought what you were saying is they're just going towards the views. The views are in this direction. They're just following it. Yeah, that's what I think. And they have no clue they could be manipulated by a foreign government.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Gotcha, okay. Yeah. Bro, are you a Jew lover, dude? Dude ever since you went to Hollywood, bro Fuck that dude, I don't believe it DEI. Yeah. Yeah, dude white supremacy is such DEI Why don't we ever have that conversation? Yeah, like these white guys are like, I believe in meritocracy, except the whole white people should control everything. And we gotta stop letting everybody else control us. I didn't control it, man. That's what was so-
Starting point is 01:10:10 How did the Jews control the world they can't even control Jew land? There's a little piece of land that they've been fighting over, yet they control the whole world? Yeah. We talked about that with the Vivek rant. It's like, you guys love what Vivek is saying
Starting point is 01:10:22 if you think he's talking to black people. The second white people get told, pull yourself up by your boots trailer. Whoa! How fucking dare you? They go DI, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How dare you?
Starting point is 01:10:30 White people love DI when it's for white people. That shit is so gay. This needs to be a white country. Make it white, make some babies, pussy. Yeah, true. To me, go to the IVF doctor like your boy. If you can't get it done, Elon's out here trying to keep it white.
Starting point is 01:10:46 You got 13 motherfucking babies. He's doing his part. This shit is so pussy. Whenever you see these fucking- That's the blackest thing he does. Right? Got 13 baby mamas all suing him. Black people are like, no, no, he's paid.
Starting point is 01:10:59 He's paid, though. I like this guy. Yo, that is crazy. But there is something to that, like the white supremacy shit being DEI, because if you think you're the best, go be the best. Like don't cry about it, just do it. Like white people colonized the entire world.
Starting point is 01:11:12 During that time, they weren't like, oh, we need to be the best, we're the master rate. They were just doing it. They were just like, look, the sun doesn't set on the British Empire. We don't got to tell you anything. Go back to that, build a ship. Build a ship? Get a longboat. Colonize somebody.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Grow your beard out. Don't fucking cry on Twitter about the Jews. I don't know. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 01:11:30 I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't want it to be. You put anyone in there.

Starting point is 01:16:41 with iGaming Ontario. Yo, how do you feel about the Nazi salutes? Because now those are- Who Bannon threw one up? Yeah. But he's just a fucking- But like now does that put any credence on what Elon did? Or, because clearly what Bannon did was intentional.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Like we can't say that was- I think what he did is, I think he did it, I think he just wants attention. Like I think Bannon's on the outs. He's just trying to get attention. He's trying to rally people. This is what he's been good at. But now he's no longer on the inside.
Starting point is 01:17:12 So he's just trying to like get shit going and cook stuff up. And the only way he knows how to do it is to be super antagonistic and he can tap into that core. But you don't think they also see the rise of white supremacy and they're like, yo, we gonna rile it up?
Starting point is 01:17:26 He's got great hair. It could be. No, it could be. It could be. I also think to Schultz's point, it's the same thing the Red Pill guys are doing where it's like, oh, okay, here's an opportunity. Let me make some noise. Let me get some attention.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Let me do whatever. Let me throw this hand up. You see what I'm saying? Like to Schultz's point, I need attention. I'm starved for attention. I'm not getting it any other way because I hand up. You see what I'm saying? Like to Schultz's point, I need attention. I'm starved for attention. I'm not getting it any other way because I'm not good enough at what I do.
Starting point is 01:17:49 So I have to reach for this low hanging fruit. Bannon just wants attention. There you go. It's also worth those like, even the guy was talking. He's like the white, the neo-Nazi shit, he's like, there's maybe like a couple thousand. It's like, it's not like this rampant thing. Not all Republicans are neo-Nazis.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Like not all of them. No, of course not. But I mean, all groups start small and then they keep going. Right. So it's like, that's a shit. I don't want people to get comfortable with that. Miles, tell us about your people. Go. No, I just also think the fear is that these are people that are very close to Trump.
Starting point is 01:18:18 They're even if they're a small group. They're this Steve Bannon was his former chief strategist. They've been in and out now, though. Elon, I understand the fear more like he's at the largest political activist group for conservatives, like, you know, that's valid. That's valid. Yeah, they're in position. Even if they're not within the cabinet, they're within pretty high positions within this. I think that's the fear people are having.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Yeah. And you normalize that shit. But a lot of these neo-Nazis hate Trump. Like they hate Republicans, they hate America. Because America is like funding you. No, but his point is just in general. Trump or Kamala. Yeah. That's what's interesting. So this guy was saying that a lot of them voted for Hillary.
Starting point is 01:18:53 They voted for Kamala because they're accelerationists. They're like, if we vote for Hillary, the whole country will get destroyed. The border will be open. Police will be defunded. And then that'll lead us to our ultimate D-Day, which is when white people control the world. I think you're arguing different things too. I think you're arguing that true neo-Nazis in what they believe and feel is one thing. And I think Alex is saying, making it normal,
Starting point is 01:19:11 making it okay to just throw up a Nazi salute will move people toward being more okay with racism. Correct? Yes. And you take away from the actual criticism. Like you should be able to criticize Israel like every other fucking country in the world. Like we criticize Canada left and right. We can't criticize Israel.
Starting point is 01:19:28 Like literally all of us called Justin Trudeau a cuck every single day for like three years straight. We can't talk about fucking Bibi Netanyahu. Of course we can. But then sometimes Jewish people tie it in. If you criticize Israel then it's like, oh, that's anti-Semitic. Which is unfair. But when you throw a fucking Nazi salute up, now it gives them credence to thinking that it's anti-Semitism. They have their ammo to go look at that. If you guys don't do that, if you're just like, yo, that guy who runs a country is a piece of shit or call him gay like we did Justin Trudeau, that's really effective.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Nobody's tried that with him. Question is sexuality. Justin Trudeau had to step down. That's facts. That's true. And how come you're at this conservative convention and no one is? We don't know if no one's pushing back. There are there are people that not barely. I don't see Fox News saying, oh, that's so wrong of him doing that. Right. I don't watch enough Fox to know. I don't watch enough Fox.
Starting point is 01:20:21 And we don't hear we don't hear it in the zeitgeist. Yeah, like Trump should be coming out. Yeah, I don't agree with that. The And we don't hear it in the Zeitgeist. Yeah, like Trump should be coming out. Yo, I don't agree with that. The fact that Trump would not. Trump would never do that. But to your point, the Zeitgeist doesn't seem to be like, we didn't even know about that. The Zeitgeist doesn't seem like, what the fuck is this guy doing at the CPAC? Also, there's so many people that like, this is the other thing, and I will defend politicians
Starting point is 01:20:38 even on both sides, and this is like, you don't have to come out against every single thing that someone within your party does. It's not up to the leader of the Democratic party to talk about the fringe senator that says there's 67 genders and be like, I don't believe in that. Which to be honest is just as annoying to the American voter. It might be advantageous to do that for the Democrats to call them out, but it's not up to Kamala, whoever the fuck is out there, for every single Senator that opens their mouth or every single local Congressman that opens their mouth
Starting point is 01:21:08 and says some goofy shit to be like, I disavow, I disavow, you could be disavowing all day. I get it, but this is Steve Bannon at CPAC. I think he's kicked out. For me, I'm like, if I'm part of Trump's squad, I'm like, yo, we kicked that goofy motherfucker out, he's just trying to get attention. Even that.
Starting point is 01:21:20 I don't even know why you let him on stage. You say that. No, I don't say I think- But the fact that you say it quiet, it's like. I don't think Trump's gotta say anything necessarily. I think Al's point does hold some credence or whatever credibility though, and that it doesn't seem to be,
Starting point is 01:21:31 nobody says we're reacting, which is a little crazy. Nobody, there's no tweets that we're seeing, there's no nothing, there's no stories. I don't think Trump has to acknowledge everything. I think we put that on him. Yeah, I don't say everything. I think that's at a level that needs to be acknowledged. I don't personally, I'm like, there's people who take shots at us sometimes or say crazy and we're like,
Starting point is 01:21:48 we're not even giving them oxygen. That's true. OK. I think the fact that nobody's saying anything. I think Ben is below the level of of react to. He's just a citizen at this point. He's not even part of government. Like if he's influential in this, what is it called? See what? Not see back. It's CPAC. Yeah. If he's influential in CPAC, if he actually is or if he's just in this, what is it called? Not CPEC. It's CPEC? Yeah. If he's influential in CPEC, if he actually is, or if he's just a speaker that's up there, I think that's where you decide. If he's actually influencing where the money goes, because if the money starts getting
Starting point is 01:22:13 clipped, then maybe Trump starts to speak up. But at the same time, there's no way Steve Bannon is going to say something and then they're going to stop funneling money into Trump's agenda. Fuck no. Conservatives are running everything right now. If anything, they should be telling Bannon, yo, can you shut the fuck up? We're actually doing some good work right now.
Starting point is 01:22:30 We have everything under control. You're gonna fuck this whole thing up and make everything radioactive because that's the only way you know how to get attention. The Bannon is the type of guy, the only way he knows how to get attention is just make it radioactive. There are certain people that can get attention from art.
Starting point is 01:22:42 There's certain people that can get attention from creativity. There's certain people that can get attention from art. There's certain people that can get attention from creativity. There's certain people that can get attention from literally understanding what's going on and delivering the facts in a fun and knowledgeable way. Like that's a Jon Stewart, right? Like I don't think anybody goes, oh, he's just biased. He's trying to manipulate people when Jon talks, right? Like we trust him.
Starting point is 01:23:01 But Ben is just, how do I be radioactive? Oh, if I throw this up, I'll do it. It's like wrestling to him. Like, I literally think he's up there and he's just going. So they looking at him like Kanye? Kanye is what I was thinking. I can't tell you what they are. That's what I look at him as.
Starting point is 01:23:13 I'm like, I don't take that guy seriously. But if you take C-PAC seriously, I don't think you have him speak. This is the largest conference. This is like their big conference. Yeah, no, no. I think that you got to look at it. You got to be like, what the fuck? And I think you got to have some maybe behind the scenes talk. But if he comes out and talks about it publicly,
Starting point is 01:23:27 what do you think Bannon's gonna do with that? Bannon's gonna use that as oxygen. He's gonna light it up even further. Yeah, that's fair. He's like, he's gonna say, this guy Trump is defending a migrant over me who actually cares about America. I think giving him any oxygen is gonna divide the party even further.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And this is what fucking happens every single time. You get in power, you have an agenda, you're ready to go, and then some motherfucking egotistical narcissist that has no ability to execute anything. Parasite. Yeah, exactly. Comes in and for their own indulgence. You wanna abandon which one?
Starting point is 01:24:01 I'm not. What's wrong with Elon? It gotta be. Elon is the bank. You know what I mean? He don't have to parasite. I mean, he gave what? Two forty mil to me.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Two seventy. Two seventy. Two bills. So he's, he's seeping, he's getting some returns. Oh no, a hundred percent. You know, you can call that parasiting as well. I don't love the turn Elon has taken in general in terms of like everything being a fucking conservative talking point
Starting point is 01:24:27 and like, oh, the South African genocide of white people is the, he said it was the biggest issue in our lifetime. And it's like, you were alive when South Africa was actually apartheided, right? That wasn't, I don't think it's the biggest genocide in Rwanda, it's like watching him parrot these Republican talking points is also nauseating. Like you're smart enough to have an opinion on your own.
Starting point is 01:24:47 So that's my criticism of Elon. I don't look at him the same way I look at Steve Bannon. And it does suck because I really used to be an Elon guy. I'm still an Elon guy. I'm like with everything he's been doing lately, it's hard for him. I don't bring the art from the artist. Oh, I mean, if I can listen to R. Kelly still. I'm just throwing it on my truck.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Are you afraid your shit's gonna get vandalized? Have you seen that? I'm the art from the artist. Oh My truck Are you afraid your shit's gonna get vandalized have you seen that yo I had a dude throw a fucking snowball at the car All right, that's not bad at all. Yeah, this is New York. Yeah, but they wouldn't do that any regular that was that that was some cucky shit That was unbelievable. Are wanted to beat this motherfuckers. Do that, do that, don't talk about it on the podcast. He was in a group. I'm testing. But that's going to come with it. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:25:34 I think the car being a Cyberjerk had something to do with the reason why they did it. It's an attention seeking car. Not saying that that's what you want it for. There are other things. You've always loved Teslas. No, I think they're throwing the snowball because it's Elon.
Starting point is 01:25:47 It could be Elon, but it's also, like even if it wasn't Elon, even if somebody else owned it, it's such a different looking car than anything else. And you know, when eggs are $40, and you see a guy walk, driving around in a spaceship, there's a moment, and you have a snowball in your hand, there's a moment where you go, you know what,
Starting point is 01:26:04 fuck that car. Wow. I keep that, I keep that. Nah, there's a moment, and you have a snowball in your hand, there's a moment, you go, you know what, fuck that car. Wow. I keep that, I keep that. No, that's kinda far. Yeah, I drive with that, even, what you doing? Making me more proud of my car? I think that is the biggest thing most people feel, is they're like, all right, we're changing
Starting point is 01:26:15 the Gulf of Mexico, we're cutting all these things, all right, but things are still expensive. I think that's how most people feel, is like, my day to day has not improved. It's like, we're doing all this stuff, that's cool, but like. I'm wondering if they're having buyers remorse yet. I don't think so, I think there's how most people feel. It's like, my day to day has not improved. It's like, we're doing all this stuff, that's cool, but like. I'm wondering if they're having buyer's remorse yet. I don't think so. I think there's so much excitement.
Starting point is 01:26:29 It's too early. And what has been achieved. And you have to understand, like, there are a lot of people that agree with what Trump and Elon are trying to do. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of support behind it. Matter of fact, we support it. We support it, right?
Starting point is 01:26:43 Like, we're all sitting here going, yeah, we have to cut the bloat in government. The way that they're doing it, we have to see. We have to see. Like, is that bad? My feeling in general is just like, let's just see what happens. No, I agree. No, that's where I think we're all there. I'm glad you said that.
Starting point is 01:26:59 This is how, okay, there's a lot of liberal people that get very upset about this topic, right? Or they get very upset about Elon and what's happening, it's unconstitutional, Charlemagne was talking about that. And you have a lot of like liberal politicians, liberal pundits talking about it as well. And I think the important thing to reflect on as well, I'm not saying don't talk about that,
Starting point is 01:27:17 but the other thing to reflect on as well is, we are so disillusioned with government and American institutions that we are willing to just see. Do you know how desperate you got to be as a country where you're willing to just go, all right, let's try this. If things were good for people, you would go, I don't want to risk it. My life is pretty good. I'm concerned if we do this, my life could get worse. You know how many people got to be in a place where they're like, it can't get much worse, to go, let's see.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Yeah, which I can understand the counterpoint. I'm sure there's people at the end of the Weimar Republic that was like, yeah, let's just see. Let's just see what's going on. And then by the time you see that it's bad, it's too late. Weimar Republic is what the, like the end of right before Hitler takes over. So like I can see people being like,
Starting point is 01:28:02 oh yeah, let's just wait and see. And then after you see like all this shit is fucked up, it's too late. So I can see the concern. Yeah, that's why I feel it's in... Sorry, I'm listening to some of these history podcasts now because sports has broken my heart and I'm looking for things to do.
Starting point is 01:28:13 But like when you hear about Caesar or Genghis Khan or whatever and people are like, oh, this all right, Trump is doing the same things. I do see how some of the things you're like, it reminds you of what's happening. I don't think that's what's gonna happen, but I understand the fear. For Doge, I would say this is the first time we have heard and seen any politician that's president take actionable steps as far as I know to reduce government spending. Clinton. Clinton did it and I was too young to
Starting point is 01:28:39 understand it probably. But we're all so happy. They fired 300,000 government workers under Clinton. But he did it with bipartisan support. So he did it through government. And I think that was the big difference maker. And during Clinton, it was the first time in all of our lifetimes. Budget surplus, right? Where we had a surplus. Yeah. Which would be nice.
Starting point is 01:28:58 Yeah. That would be really fucking nice. I think Americans are so detached from our national debt. We're like, that shit ain't mine. That's the nation's debt, right? We're so detached that the only thing we think about is the repercussions of that debt which might be the super inflation the cost of goods being crazy interest rate interest wilds, right? So But we got to knock that down to knock the rest of this down
Starting point is 01:29:21 I think if you knock the debt down mortgage rates come down mortgage rates comegage rates come down, the liquidity is out there. There's more money on the streets. Yeah. Better for everybody. So my feeling is like when I see the difference with people like, oh, like Julie Caesar, Hitler, da da da, I'm like, my hope is that the checks and balances within the US government will be strong enough that if something goes too far, like Trump's like, yo, I'm dictator for life, that the checks will stop that. Yeah, that's what I would. And I think that's the difference between where we are now and where we have been historically.
Starting point is 01:29:45 And so that's my hope. And that's why I'm kind of a little more comfortable being like, yeah, it's just kind of think I think we're or go out. Go. I think it's like I agree with you, but I think it's also important to point out shit while it's happening.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Very fair. Very fair. Because like if you just stay quiet and just let them do it, then it might hit that point where it's that's its own check and balance. Y'all saying things. First of all, since when do we push back on people checking the government?
Starting point is 01:30:13 Like, that's the most American thing to do. But if it's the way they talk, it's like. No, no, what I'm saying is. You wanna go listen to what I say, you outta here. No, of course, of course. Which is very un-American, I think Americans will reject that. But what I'm trying to say is right now you have people pushing back to what they believe is government overreach.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Right. That is happening from the left to the right because the right is in power. There was a time where the government's where the right was pushing back against left government overreach during COVID. Everybody go in your house. You gotta take the jab, et cetera. We gotta stop acting like we don't appreciate pushing back against government. It's part of our nation's identity. Anytime we think that you're pushing a little too far,
Starting point is 01:30:55 you're getting in my pockets, you're getting in my house, we push back. So on a fundamental level, even if you're on the right, you should appreciate the left going, hey, government, back the fuck up, chill out. Now there's a part of you, if you're on the right, you should appreciate the left going, hey, government, back the fuck up, chill out. Now there's a part of you, if you're on the right, that goes, where the fuck was this energy when they were shoving shit in our arm that they don't know what the fuck it
Starting point is 01:31:12 is. But if you can step back for a second and be like, all right, maybe I don't agree with them, but I do, I respect their right to voice their opinion on this. And I fundamentally agree with them pushing back against government overreach. Yeah. But there is something you can connect on there. I agree with you wholeheartedly. But then when you have the top down person saying, if you don't do what the fuck I say,
Starting point is 01:31:33 you're wait till midterms, you're out of here. Or you're getting fired. They're creating the climate where it's like, I don't want any talk back, and I don't want anybody doing anything I don't say. Wait till midterms is, I think that's an important thing to distinguish. Wait till midterms is your base is going to reject you because this is what your base wants. No.
Starting point is 01:31:54 Well, Trump can't kick some, if he, if Trump was kicking out a, the Senator of Maine or the governor of Maine or whatever the fuck it was, he would just do it now. He doesn't have to wait till midterm. No, I'm saying wait till midterms, they can just fund having somebody run against you and kick you to fuck out. OK, that's politics. Like, why would they not fund them already? But it's so I think every elected official should speak for their constituents. It shouldn't be, hey, you just have to follow what daddy says. Well, that's what they all do.
Starting point is 01:32:24 That's what the whip is. That's what Nancy Pelosi does. No, I get it But that's that's where that's where the elected officials have to speak for the people because if they do it doesn't matter How much money throw against them if you're actually speaking for your people and what they want you will win Trump got less money Money, do you know how much money they threw at the people going up against Trump? Kamala got the what's the record? So the point we all thought she was though. She might actually win just because of money. It didn't matter So now we're now we're in a situation where it's you're going to basically Force government officials to actually care what their people want
Starting point is 01:32:57 Not what the special interest groups want and if they're riding with these special interest groups All of a sudden the Trump administration is gonna go, it's interesting that they're really influenced by those big money donors, and they're not caring about what you really care about, which is the cost of eggs and the inflation and the bloating government. That's what we're gonna care about, and this is our guy,
Starting point is 01:33:16 and he's gonna fix that for you. That's on you as a politician for not knowing what your people want. And calling back to the Clinton thing, this is another reason, even though I find him politically very fucking corny now, Elon, I don't have a problem with Doge.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Clinton was 32 years ago. Like when we were, we were 90s kids. That's great. How far back was the 60s in our brain? That's now, that's the 90s now. You know what I mean? Like it's eight fucking elections. It's been 32 years before anyone did anything.
Starting point is 01:33:42 We just let it grow and grow and grow and grow. It's 32 years of bloat. We got to take it out. And again, I'm not even just saying it because he's Indian. It's part helps, but like Vivek being like, hey, this needs to get cut. It clicked with me with like, yeah, I didn't even know Clinton did it, but there's 32 years of bloat that just needs to get cut and we will overcorrect. And that I'm okay there.
Starting point is 01:34:01 Now Vivek's plan was to do it using the Constitution Yes, which I prefer I think that probably would have been more digestible for the average like politically inclined American Yep, because they couldn't really reject the can't argue the Constitution. Yeah. I yeah, I think the vague I think it's a long guy out. Yeah, it's quicker to do it the way Elon. Yeah, and There's a risky strategy, though. Because if it bombs, the Democrats are gonna win the next four elections. So you gotta hope that the first shit you do just, like, slaps. I think Trump sided with the money, with Elon.
Starting point is 01:34:34 And I think they pushed the wrong guy out. That's, personally, what I feel. With Vivek. I think Vivek would have... And it would have overcorrected, for sure. But, like, by the Constitution, can't really argue with with it it's gonna be some uproar but we'll cut some muscle. I love that but it's hard to go up against the rocket guy. Of course, of course. It's just so he's so impressive. You're like the richest man in the world.
Starting point is 01:34:55 Yeah, I mean if if we had to hire I'm trying to think of a job I wouldn't hire Elon for. I wouldn't hire him to watch my kids. You see the clip of him forgetting his kid at the perfect thing? Just straight walking off, baby. Kim Kardashian done that shit. Oh, okay. Great mother of the year. Kim Kardashian has done that. I wouldn't have him take your job. Keep Kardashian from doing that. All right.
Starting point is 01:35:25 I wouldn't have him take your job. I think F.A. sent him. I think he'll make the pod worse. Here he is. This shit will get views. He was on here every single week. He said he didn't laugh at this kid, bro. Pull it up.
Starting point is 01:35:34 This shit is so funny. He's busy, bro. He's trying to cut. He's trying to cut. He's like, I got 13 of these little motherfuckers. Keep up. Yeah, he's trying to make more of them. That is wild.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Look at the kid. Look how far back the kid is, dog. Now, yeah he's trying to make more of them. That is wow. Look at the kid, look how far back the kid is dog. Now people did post the full video where like he's like come on little buddy let's go and he's like and then he like goes downstairs and then he keeps on saying bye his little homie's going slow he doesn't realize he got shorter legs and he's like oh come come on little buddy. Oh that's not as bad that's not as bad, that's not as bad. See, this is a perfect example of fake news. I got fake news. Nah, that's fucked up. I still wouldn't have him watch my kid, though.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Yeah, he's busy. I want you working on him. Yeah, dude. So we're gonna see. How long do you think it is before we feel some of the negative or positive effects of the cuts? I think short term will feel more pain, I think. I just think in general, a lot of the ideas are going to cause some short term pain for long term gain. I think it's going to be so hard to tell. I literally think it's going to be like a Rorschach.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Like, let's say prices come down for everything. Rorschach, like depending on how like ink blot shit where you see what you feel already. Like, I wonder if like people on the left will see all media, like, they cut this thing and there's a teacher that died and then the homeless thing got worse. And even if the price of things are coming down, they'll be like, yeah, this country's going to shit. And then people on the right, let's say prices don't move at all,
Starting point is 01:36:55 but then they're seeing all these headlines that are like, everything's great, we're saving all this money, the budget's at a surplus. I bet you see, it worked. I think media will just manipulate people's minds, but they'll just say whatever the thing they're feeding is is and I think it'll be dependent on whatever they're concerned I think it all depends on how the economy is and if people feel like they have money in their pockets I think it all come at the end. How do you make people feel that like what does create a thriving economy either?
Starting point is 01:37:20 low inflation or stem checks I'm like for example, how would you, like how do you address inflation? My understanding is the way you address inflation is you restrict or constrict the money supply. If there's less money out there, if there's more money than there are things to buy, the price of things is just crazy. Yeah, I think it's called the, you're trying to slow the liquidity of money through monetary policy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:50 So the only way to do that is to keep interest rates high. But if you keep interest rates high, it stifles economic growth, because you need liquidity for growth. So it's a really fucked up thing. It's almost like you need to just plunder another country. Take all their wealth. That works back in the day. Who should we pretend has nukes? I think we need to look into Canada.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Canada got nukes. This whole cut thing was a front and he's actually building tons of nukes. Where do you think he got the nukes from? His dad in Cuba. So he's got the nukes shipped in. So you guys keep an eye on him. 51st state. Is there any country rich enough where we could just plunder that bitch? Yeah, Canada. The nukes are at Drake's house. That's why it's called the embassy.
Starting point is 01:38:34 We need to get in there. We need to really just take things apart. And yeah, that's ours now. Couple meme coins and rug pulls. Like we'll get rich in a minute. USA coin rug pulls in the fire. No, but I think, yeah, the Stimmi Check doesn't work. That's what caused the inflation. So I think, I don't know, to me, I just remember, and this is, everybody's going to be personal. It's like, I remember Bill Clinton, I was eight years old. My dad went from having no job, we opened a business.
Starting point is 01:38:58 I was like, oh, in this four years seems like we're doing better. And then I remember I'm 10, so I know nothing, but I'm like, yeah, this guy Bill Clinton seems to be doing a good job. And that was also during the big, the first tech boom, right? Yeah, yeah. Which may be the only reason it happened, I don't know. But we just go off what we're feeling. I also think corporate greed is probably the biggest factor.
Starting point is 01:39:21 It's a problem. I think we're just so concerned with how the stocks, like how things are going in the stock market. And so we're squeezing, we're squeezing like the lower middle class like as much as possible and we have no power to say anything. So because- Like no power to make change. If you squeeze, when you say squeeze the lower and middle class
Starting point is 01:39:46 You mean like by paying them less we can show more profits Yeah, the corporate price and then the stock price goes on my my responsibilities to my shareholder Yeah, that's that fucking line. You can hide behind some shit I just saw door dash got sued for like 20 million because they were taking people's tips and using that money to pay the wages of Wow, so fuck. Yeah, that's crazy. And so when they say a hundred percent of the money goes towards the delivery person They're still not lying. Yeah I mean, that's what restaurants do right like restaurants I think minimum wage is like $15 an hour in some states now, but restaurants will pay you
Starting point is 01:40:24 $3 an hour. Yeah, because, but restaurants would pay you $3 an hour Yeah, because they count your tips as part of your wage Yeah, but at least that you know that going into it like Oh door dash was like, oh, no, you didn't get any tips And then just using that money to pay their oh, that's great. Yeah, that is fucked up because we know that the waiters aren't making any money Outside of the house. Yeah, you gotta get it out. Thank you, my boy. I got it? Yeah. So we overcompensate.
Starting point is 01:40:48 Yeah. But with DoorDash, you're just giving them whatever y'all give. Yeah. Ooh. And that's a thing. All these corporations are doing similar shit like that. Amazon workers, they barely get paid. Have you spoken to Uber drivers recently?
Starting point is 01:41:02 No. So a lot of the Uber drivers, when they first started, Uber was taking like 15% or 20%. Now that shit has come up to like 30, 40 in certain places. Dude, I'll see. Sometimes I'll ask an Uber driver, what'd you get for this? And it will be less than half of what I paid. Like considerably less. Like six bucks for a $25 Uber or whatever. So basically what they did is they lost money to gain market share. And that is the strategy of these tech businesses now. Maybe businesses in general now.
Starting point is 01:41:32 But so they don't have to show profit at all. And they'll lose money as long as the stock is cooking. But what happens is what you're saying is all these people that are driving are eventually gonna go, you know what? I got to now work 80 hours a week to make what I used to make driving a taxi 40 hours or 60 hours, whatever the fuck they would do. And they got no voice. They got no lobbyists. And they have no lobby, no health insurance.
Starting point is 01:41:58 And it's, I mean, I guess it's not a monopoly. There is Lyft, but Lyft is also going to cook you as well. That's a hairline shit too, where it's like, y'all pretend you're competing or not. There's a certain level below which you know you're not gonna go, and this is what it is. It's like a- They're both in codes, it's like, yo, let's just keep these prices this way.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Oligopoly or whatever it's called. Which is technically illegal, but it's going on. How are you gonna prove it? Yeah. Yeah, and then you can imagine some driver that's been out of the workforce for four years, five years, immigrant, doesn't have work experience or whatever. Like where else is he going to go? Where else? So like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:42:30 I'll just eat it. Yeah. And like, even partly with my business, I see that like I made it an a point to like overpay because I've always been in production. And I'm like, you know, like, let me change things that bothered me back in the day. And that does stifle growth. Like I because I pay my employees really well, I can't open as many studios as I would like to have to wait till we, you know,
Starting point is 01:42:53 build it up and now we can. So it's like I see what would motivate a business owner to pay less because I grow my shit way faster. But at the same time, it's like you just have to have zero empathy for people and that shit sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's easy for me, I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:43:07 Okay. And then the people with no empathy rise to the top. Yeah. True. You know what I mean? Like all these corporate CEOs are just cutthroat, and they're like, yeah, I'm good. I'm fine, I can sleep at night.
Starting point is 01:43:17 So, I'm good on that. Yeah. And also you get better work. I think when people feel like they're properly compensated, they build their identity around the job. It's hard to build your identity around a job where you feel taken advantage of. But if you create the job,
Starting point is 01:43:33 where they don't have to have an identity. It's like an assembly line and people just come in and you're like, all right, you don't like it? Yep. See you later. If you make them easily replaceable. Yeah. Uber, Amazon, all these places. Yeah. Dude, I've had Amazon employees tell me like they'll get hurt on the job, but they're afraid to go get medical care or whatever because they're going to get
Starting point is 01:43:51 in trouble. So they just keep working. They're afraid they get replaced by a robot or whatever. They just keep working. It's not that bathroom breaks get timed. I mean, that's nuts. I mean, that's fine. I mean, that's the reason why that exists. How are you getting hurt at the Amazon factory? The warehouse. Oh, the warehouse. Yeah. Yeah. Putting the thing in the box.
Starting point is 01:44:11 Yeah. Lifting boxes, probably doing all that machinery going everywhere. It's like in forklifts and yeah, you're going to get hurt. Yeah. That shit sucks. But corporations are fire, though. You know what I mean? They really do make that shit fire. Now order something comes the next day. Ugh. They keep making us, I mean,
Starting point is 01:44:30 They make us so convenient that shit is fire. And this is where we're kind of fucked as, or like, we're trapped into it. Are you ever calling not Lyft or Uber? Like going out grabbing a taxi? No, I know. So we're all like, this is what happens. They make a better product. So we're like, yeah, sure. And you're removed enough from that. So we're like, yeah, sure. And you get you're removed enough from that person that
Starting point is 01:44:46 you're like, well, I don't really I can't care that they're getting fucked. It's just in meaning for it's convenient for me. And that's what it is. I'm not. And that's why I remember is actually the next book I was reading where he was like, every corporations fiduciary responsibilities to the shareholders. And I was like, that is a fucking thing. That's what they all hide behind.
Starting point is 01:45:04 Yeah. Oh, I don't have to care about the employee, my responsibility is to my shareholder. That line in and of itself is just such a catch-all for having to give a fuck about anyone below me. Dude, to a good point you made there, Mark, about if you can create a business with replaceable employees, you really don't have to care about your employees at all. And those businesses don't.
Starting point is 01:45:30 And they're incredibly profitable. There's the Henry Ford thing. I think he did that with like the Model T line. Yeah. I'm just like... No, but his initially the idea with the, maybe this is propaganda, but the idea was I want everybody that works here to be able to afford the car. Oh, that is true, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:47 Now that could be Henry Ford Association going, all right, let's not make him look like a fucking animal, make him look like he cares about the workers, but that was the idea, that they could make a car cheap enough that the people that worked at the plant could drive one. And if that is the case, imagine you're working at a fucking plant,
Starting point is 01:46:03 and you're driving to work every single day. You must feel like the fucking man. Yeah. You have pride. There's a lot of pride there. And also, like, when you look at, especially in, it's Detroit, right, where the General Motors were, or at least Michigan. Michigan.
Starting point is 01:46:16 Right? Yeah. You would have, like, generations of families work at those plants and be proud of it. Mm-hmm. Like, they were proud to be part of that community. And then when those plants left, it was devastating. But I guess that was a time where, like, the cost of goods and wage was of it. They were proud to be part of that community. And then when those plants left, it was devastating. But I guess that was a time where the cost of goods and wage was more similar, and then now it's changed.
Starting point is 01:46:31 Yeah, that was also in corporate greed. I don't want to say it was at a low, but it was lower. It's like they didn't know how greedy they could get. So, okay, so, and again. The difference between CEO pay and the workers pay wasn't as large. And what's the justification for that now? I don't know the justification.
Starting point is 01:46:49 I know when it really started to go crazy was we fought to have CEO salaries made public because we were like, we wanna see how overpaid these people are. But then, it's like NBA contracts. You see what they're making and you're like, oh, you need to pay me more than that. Oh, you need to pay me more than that.
Starting point is 01:47:03 You need to pay me more than that. And then it just goes bang, bang, bang. Because NBA, NFL, a lot of times it's not about how much I make, it's about I need to pay me more than that. Oh, you need to pay me more than that. You need to pay me more than that. And then it just goes bang, bang, bang. Because NBA, NFL, a lot of times it's not about how much I make. It's about how much more than that guy. Yeah. And it's how much he makes. So once you start making these contracts public and I'm I'm a. Yeah, I don't know how you get that genie back in the bottle or whatever, but like that inflated a lot.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Yeah, you don't get it back in the bottle. So capitalism, people like you can't tell me how much I deserve to be paid for this. And then everybody thinks, oh, one day that's gonna be me. And I don't want somebody telling me how much I can get paid. All right, questions. It was less pushback.
Starting point is 01:47:32 Is the- Let's just shoot these motherfuckers. That's what's gonna end up happening. I'm gonna enjoy on it. No, but it's like certain industries. We just got that right idea, yo. But is like the skill of certain CEOs, like for example, like what's Steve Jobs, right?
Starting point is 01:47:48 Like whenever he got paid, he deserved it. Like he transformed an industry, transformed the world in a lot of ways, right? So you can't really put a dollar amount on him or like what he's worth to the company. Like are certain, are these certain CEOs, like are they worth these exorbitant amount of money? This exorbitant amount of money because that's what they bring to the company. Like, are certain, are these certain CEOs, like are they worth this exorbitant amount of money, this exorbitant amount of money,
Starting point is 01:48:07 because that's what they bring to the brand? Certain, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure that's what they would argue. And again, it's like the NBA. LeBron is worth 100 million a year or whatever. But I guess what I'm trying to, like LeBron is so easy to see, because he's 6'9", he got the handle like a point guard,
Starting point is 01:48:21 he's got vision, he can shoot, he's obviously a proven winner. I think with the CEOs, a lot of times we look at them outside of like a jobs or a musk, and we're just like, oh, it's just like a white guy who wears a suit and he just tells people what to do. Do they have these distinguishable skills? Maybe if we knew more about what they're actually doing
Starting point is 01:48:38 for a company, maybe it would seem more justifiable to us. Does that make sense? Maybe they are LeBron-esque in how unique their skill set is. But even though, like what Elon does for Tesla, Elon could be like, hey, we can make less profits this year and pay all of our employees more. And every company can do that. Got it.
Starting point is 01:49:01 And you're saying. Once the share price goes down, Yeah. My responsibility to the shareholders. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah. So the share price goes down because it's not- That's why food, and this is why, again, I don't think food should be publicly traded. That's why food, they're like,
Starting point is 01:49:16 oh, I can put all these chemicals in it for less cost than the real ingredients of Cheetos. It'll drive the cost down. The share price goes up for Frito-Lay. That's my responsibility. Yeah. Corporate buyouts happen. A big company comes in and buys a small, It'll drive the cost down, the share price goes up for Frito-Lay, that's in my responsibilities too. Corporate buyouts happen, a big company comes in and buys a small like mom tops thing that's very popular. They figure out how they can cut costs.
Starting point is 01:49:33 They fire certain people, they put different chemicals or make the product worse in a certain way, but small enough that it's not that noticeable. The product is then cheaper to produce and the company can go look what we did. Year over year we're 50% better, 20% better, quarter over quarter we're increasing profits. Hmm. Yeah. So it's just one of the downsides is like unfettered capitalism.
Starting point is 01:49:55 But you just need some type of legislation like protect it so that it can still grow. But then to not, you know, like, yeah, you don't want to over legislate it, but also you need to keep some guardrails to stop, you know, like, yeah, you don't want to over legislate it, but also you need to keep some guardrails to stop monopolies. And this is where it's a push and pull, like unions, some would say that the car unions got so powerful, that's why American cars started to get worse. Japanese cars were taking over,
Starting point is 01:50:18 and then Ford ends up shutting down, et cetera, et cetera. Now I'm not saying that's what the answer, but it is, it just, I think, has to be a constant push and pull. Yeah, I mean, Rockefeller beat the whole game how do you literally he would just like crazy Standard Oil got so big and then we're just going to towns with other oil companies be Like so you can either sell to us for 50% of what you're worth or we'll just take over your area When we open up a Standard Oil right here because we have so much funding and we have such a great assembly line that will just
Starting point is 01:50:42 Take you over. So what do you want to do? And then he just like steamrolled everyone and literally broke capitalism and then we're like, all right we gotta put... Yeah, then we broke up Santa Royal in 1910 or whatever. And then we're like, all right we can't just let this rule the world. How did he deal with that emotionally? I know you were reading that biography. Yeah, Titan. And did he have any kind of like turmoil about doing that to people? Did he feel justified in some way? I mean, yes and no.
Starting point is 01:51:07 He was just like, these are the rules of the game. And he was like a super strict business guy. Like he counted every penny in his personal bank account. Like in his journals, he would have like a ledger of like every single dollar that was going in and out. So like on the one hand, he was ruthless. But on the other hand, he was like super philanthropic, opened all these like HBCUs, like Spelman College, like a famous HBCU.
Starting point is 01:51:22 It was named after his wife, Sette Spelman. And so he like opened up all these like black universities. He's like, yeah, we got to like give black people... Was she white, black? No, she was white. Hilarious. Yeah. And he was like, we got to support like black people in America and like give people opportunity. So like, I think he kind of justified it through like philanthropic stuff. The cynic in me is like, yo, let's just keep shit segregated. I'll just open for school for a little bit. Wait, we got all these workers that don't know how to fucking mine oil. Let's just keep shit segregated. I'll just open for school for a little bit. Wait, we got all these workers that don't know how to fucking mine oil. Let's fucking do an oil mining class.
Starting point is 01:51:49 Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if that's what charity is to some of these incredibly wealthy people, if it's just a way to get to heaven. Like it's a way to offset the greed. Yeah, I do think he was also religious. And so I think he was like, dude, God gave me this.
Starting point is 01:52:13 This is ordained by God. You justify your fuck shit by this is what God wanted me to do. And then you do some good on the side as a token of your gratitude. In a way, yes, yeah. Because sometimes I do feel like people, and we should do more philanthropy.
Starting point is 01:52:30 We should figure out how we can give back. Yeah, I should. See? But we got you here. You know. No, but we should figure out how we can give back, but give back in a way where it doesn't feel, like sometimes I see people doing it
Starting point is 01:52:43 and it feels so like self-aggrandizing. You know, like I don't know if the money's actually trickling to the charity. It feels almost more of like a pat on the back. Like a public display. If I'm a good person, and this is why you guys should believe I'm a good person, but then people aren't actually getting helped.
Starting point is 01:53:02 But not everything, oh sorry, you go. This is just happening right now. There's a lot of CEOs that are basically doing the Rockefeller thing, where they create a nonprofit foundation, and that nonprofit foundation is actually not funding. It's sort of like a money laundering place. And then they put their kids as the presidents and CEOs
Starting point is 01:53:20 of that foundation, and they get a salary, and that salary's half a million dollars a year. So now you're finding a way to funnel money to your kids through this non-profit. And some of them do great, some of them really do great. And some people have done great. Rockefeller did great at the end. Like Bill Gates has stopped hookworm,
Starting point is 01:53:37 guinea worm, something. Like there's a lot of them that have done great. There are some that are using it sort of as a company. I'm sure there are plenty that do good things. But I wonder if it... And not everything is money. Like, I have classes come to WTF and like I just talk to the kids and shit like that, and you never know that might just open their mind, help them see something, like throw a fucking benefit show where just like underprivileged people able to come to show for free.
Starting point is 01:54:00 Like the way you find a way to not give money. I'm just saying not everything's about money. No, you're right. You're right. There's a lot of times influence is going to be way more impactful. I'm just saying not everything's about money. No, you're right. You're right. There's a lot of times influence is going to be way more impactful. And I also wonder if trying to solve the biggest problem isn't the most effective way of doing your charity.
Starting point is 01:54:16 So like small things. That's the thing. That's the thing. I think Portnoy does brilliantly like going to a specific place and giving them money to stay open. We are saving this restaurant. We're not going, hey, we're going to save the restaurant industry. That's a nice thing on paper.
Starting point is 01:54:35 That looks really good. You get to pat yourself on the back. Maybe some people in the world are like, look at how benevolent that human being is. But going to one mom and pop shop speaking to the mom and pop and saving their business, maybe it saved it for a year, maybe it saved for two years, maybe it saved for 20, who fucking knows. But I wonder if that's the most direct impact you can have. That starfish story, you ever heard that? No, what's that? My dad told me this when I was a kid. It's like all these starfish roll up on the sea after,
Starting point is 01:55:00 on the shore after a big storm, some kids throwing it back in the ocean. And some guy comes up, he's like, dude, there's thousands of starfish. Like, what are you doing? Doesn't make a difference. And he takes a starfish, throws it in the water, he goes, made a difference to that one. It's kind of a cute little story. But like, it kind of goes to that point,
Starting point is 01:55:14 like, yeah, just finding specific people that need help and then helping them in that way. It's also more fulfilling on a personal basis. I do feel good after. Yeah, 100%. I'm not gonna feed all the African kids, you know what I mean? Let's just feed some Africans here. Yeah. Yeah. Take an Uber drive. Be like, yo, just go through the fucking drive-thru, whatever you want. Yeah, whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:55:33 Yeah, fucking ring it up. Yeah. Feed some Elans African kids. Yeah, exactly, dude. Yeah, there's something. Are we getting commie-pilled right now? Dude, we gotta stop this. Wait, are we commies? Yeah, I'm not gonna stand for this commie talk, all right? Hey, Mark, you're learning hypnosis? What's going on with this? I'm reading one book on hypnosis, okay? It's not weird, first off. I just wanna learn the secrets.
Starting point is 01:55:53 All right, when you're talking about this. The secrets of hypnosis. Why would you wanna learn that? Let's talk about this on Patreon. Okay, one slight reason, okay, is I'm genuinely curious if hypnosis is real. Yeah. So like, do you believe in hypnosis?
Starting point is 01:56:05 Yeah. Do you think that people can be put into a subconscious state where their mind is now controlled by another person? Some people, blacks. Okay, wait, why is it blacks? Why is it not black? Because our mind is better. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:56:15 Smarter people are apparently easier to hypnotize, just as they tell dumb people who they hypnotize. I'm gonna hypnotize Al. I'm gonna come back one of these days. I'm gonna hypnotize Al. I'm gonna come back one of these days. I'm gonna hypnotize him. Maybe on Patreon. Mark, I would like you to to hypnotize our audience right now.
