Starting point is 00:00:00 what's up everybody salty here akash singh alex media mark gagnon another episode of uh flagrant too we got a lot of things to talk about man um a lot a lot of things happening in the comedy world la comedy scene taking yet another another hit bro um yeah dude there's like a corona me too virus going around they need to put the la comedy scene in a bubble bro that's what they need because shit is getting shit is getting harsh out there man you know rogan got out just in time rogan was like fuck fuck this. I'm not sticking around to watch this shit sink. It's crazy. No, listen. It's crazy what's going down.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I mean, I want to get into it. We'll probably get into it a little bit later. But my man Callan, man, LA Times caught a... Yo. I mean, this chick accused him of rape, bro. It was hard to read. I thought it was really easy to read. It was beautifully written.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Like, oh, it was hard to read. Oh, okay. I thought you were criticizing the girl's writing. Wouldn't that be some shit? Yo, if you're going to accuse a rape, at least, you know, put it eloquently. Son, this girl wrote a law and order SVU. Son, son. I think she even had the dun-duns in the middle of the paragraph breakdown.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Bro, it was insane, the detailing. Like, the detailing was so, so good. Like, I was like, was she in entertainment or something? or something like i was like she had to be part of the industry there's no way yo there's no way i have never agreed with a trigger warning until now what do you mean if i went through that shit and then i was reading about it i'd be like yo this is exactly like what i went through like this is entirely too descriptive yo this is horrifying to relive bro it was we gotta contact that writer like that writer need a book deal bro that writer need a book deal that writer need to write the ellen degenerate biopic or some shit we're gonna talk about ellen too but but yeah man so i called
Starting point is 00:02:21 callan i was like bro just break this down to me like what's going on please tell me yeah i want to hear this and i don I want to hear it. I don't want to say anything until I know what Callan is saying. Yeah, he's like, nah, dude, it's bullshit. You know, he knew the girl. He knew the girl for five years before that. They went out on a date. She had a boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:02:36 He didn't know that she had a boyfriend. This is what Callan said. This is not what I'm saying. This is the only information that's out there. And, you know, they were hooking up, whatever. And then she felt, I guess, she didn't want to, you know, keep hooking up. He said, okay, that's cool. That's fine. Stopped. Everything's good. Later on they talk, she auditions to play his wife on a show. He reads with her chemistry read, not just audition. Chemistry read means if you get the role that day you've already
Starting point is 00:03:06 signed the contract for seven years that you're gonna be now i'm not saying that that doesn't mean it couldn't happen everybody wants opportunities it's a small business you gotta take the opportunities that you're given yeah 100 that being said like in his mind he was saying to me i'm so blown away by it because we continue to talk like there are plenty other times when we met at auditions hung out she was auditioned for his show there are all these other times so it would to him it was like this is crazy obviously he put out his piece and i thought it was good that he put out a piece i didn't see his piece actually oh yeah he put out a piece i saw a statement from him is that what you meant no? No, he put out an Instagram. Oh, shit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah, which I think, here's the thing. I think a lot of people get fucked up about this stuff. And again, I don't know anything. I can only share with you guys what Callan said to me. Right. He said, not even, no chance, no, absolutely not, et cetera, which is obviously what you're going to say. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Some people are a little quiet, and that can read guilty, whether it's real or not. Some people are very quiet, and you're like, well, you're being a little quiet about that can read guilty whether it's real or not some people are very quiet and you're like whoa you being a little quiet about being accused of some heinous shit so that's what I'm saying the fact that he went out
Starting point is 00:04:12 and did a video he did a front facing video we can even get it up and yeah show his new eyelids he got he did eyelids maybe that's why
Starting point is 00:04:19 he did front facing videos everybody else did a written everybody else did like a written he did it in front of one of those fucking lights that the Instagram just got the ring light
Starting point is 00:04:27 the whole time he's like I am not at all guilty he's like please cry get some fucking water on these things the right lid
Starting point is 00:04:35 is a little tight they took a little too much off the right lid in my opinion but uh I told you my theory I think he tried to get in front of this story
Starting point is 00:04:42 by doing a cartel thing where they changed their face up couldn't idea do you need to get a new apple face do you need to redo face id if you got new eyelids i wonder because they might be like yo who's this big eyelid and motherfucking yeah yeah that's interesting because with the mask your shit doesn't work nope that's a possibility anyway so he does this video. It's too long for us to watch the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Or do you want to watch any of it? No, not really. I don't care. You should have watched it. He basically says, I didn't do it. That's what he says. He says, I didn't do it. And it's like, why the fuck is he the first person to come out with the video that's like, I didn't do it?
Starting point is 00:05:26 I don't know. Why? Everybody should. Everybody comes out with like, like Louie had some stupid fucking written apology. Because Louie did it. That's the thing. His statement was, yo, my bad. If somebody accuses you of rape, bro, I'm on your Instagram live.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'm on your Instagram. I'm on your instagram i'm calling takashi like yo what's like you need to do a music video how i didn't write like everybody gonna find out not only that you're getting sued your mother's getting sued whoever you did the story with getting sued yeah if you ever accuse me of some shit i did not and then take everything from me because that's what essentially this is going to do I'm going over the top Over the top Hey now you in a spin cycle
Starting point is 00:06:10 Real talk so it's like Finally someone came out and they were just like Yo you cannot do this I thought she was peeing we're good You cannot do this don't let her distract us You cannot just throw dirt on someone's name I loved how Bieber came out and Bieber was was like, here's all the information. I got you.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Yeah, Bieber was into it, yo. And sued them, motherfuckers, as you should. Yeah. So the tricky thing about suing people is it costs mad money. Yes. If you were to sue the LA Times, apparently, that's $3 million that's going to cost you in legal fees. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Apparently. Now, I'm not a fucking lawyer. I don't know. I think I just sue him myself. Do you need a lawyer? Can't you just be like, I'm suing you. Like, you can't go to the...
Starting point is 00:06:53 But why you got to sue the LA Times? Can't you just sue the person? I'm suing everybody. But they put out the piece. They put out the piece. Yeah, but if they were lied to and they were misinformed,
Starting point is 00:07:02 like, you can do your own... Then you get sued for that. You're getting sued. You're getting lied to so much. That's okay. Let me do, here's what you do. Let me say this.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So let's say some girl, some dude tricked your girl out of some pussy, right? You gonna sue her. What? What? What y'all even talk about this early?
Starting point is 00:07:19 You just said some dude tricked your girl out of some pussy. Exactly. Exactly. Your girl's LA Times. Some dude's, you know, got Exactly. Your girl's at LA Times. Some dude's, you know, got a fake story. She buys the fake story.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yo, yo, yo. Yo, it's too late in the afternoon for y'all. It's too late in the afternoon for y'all. This could be a great lawyer, bro. Hold on. Oops. And that could be the new name for it. You call it a me oops.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Me oops. And that should be the new name for it. You call it a me-oops. Me-oops. I'm saying they should have called D'Elia's a me-pre. Me-pre-pupil. Me-pre-teen. Oh, that was the joke I had.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Don't cut that. No, that was the joke I had. That was the joke I had. Free Chris, by the way. Free Chris. From everything that came out, he's innocent. Let me tell you something about Chris. He free.
Starting point is 00:08:11 He free. He got all the time. He got all the time. My man's appointment book is empty. Yo, he needs to do the front face in video, though. Real talk. He should do it on TikTok. I mean, what do I edit here? Leave it in.
Starting point is 00:08:32 That's going to be the new saying. Leave it in. No, don't. That should not be the saying. I had a fucking fire ass joke and I didn't put it out because I got respect for it. Well, I'm going to say now because the joke was fire. All right, hit it. I get the text.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Mike Feeney informed me about what happened to Callan, right? TMZ Feeney. That's what Nate McIntosh calls him. TMZ Feeney hit me. TMZ is just waiting. I'm not TMZ. Feeney is just waiting for motherfuckers that are doing better than him to fall. He's having the scoops, yo.
Starting point is 00:09:02 He's like half an Alex, yo. You want one scoop you want a Feeney he's there Feeney was there the second he found out what Hannibal's got some shit happening because of Bill Cosby
Starting point is 00:09:11 got you so Feeney messaged me I'm like oh no Callen went down right and then and it was for the accusation
Starting point is 00:09:20 it was rape right which he denies I mean on the phone with me tons of other things in the conversation that I cannot share, but very convincing to me. Again,
Starting point is 00:09:30 we're not saying anything about this girl. Every girl should be able to, you know, have their voice, and nobody's trying to silence your voice. Whatever the thing I have to say so you don't think I'm a bad person is. That would be a mark. That would be a mark. Mark, mark.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Whatever happens in the lawsuit is what it what it should be well i don't think there will be a lawsuit i think it's too expensive and i think that if you have you know hundreds of millions of dollars you can actually do that but i don't know the point is i have this joke right right? Callan has this rape accusation, right? And obviously, D'Elia and I go, if D'Elia and Callan's accusers had a podcast, they could call it the fight. I was going to ask if that's why D'Elia and Callan are so close, because he's the kid, right? No, no. Now, I'm like, I can't put that out because he's the kid, right? No. No. Now, I'm like, I can't put that out because that's too fucked up and I don't want to like
Starting point is 00:10:28 put any dirt on the man's name. He's already going through a hard time. Right, right, right. I can't put that out. I can't put it out, son. To hundreds of thousands. I can't put it out.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's half a million, but I can't put it out. Let's just get it right. You know, if it is the biggest podcast. To be fair, his pieces get about a million, so he's doing a nice deal.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I was talking about a flagrant episode. It is what it is. It's okay. Fast growing podcast on the planet. It's no big deal. But the only reason I say it right now is because somebody fucking put it out. Someone commented it on Reddit or Instagram or some shit. And it went viral.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I was like, that's my fucking shit. Could have been you. I know. It could have been me. Could have been you. No it could have been me it could have been you no but in all seriousness um but in all seriousness you know callan's got literally that's everything going it's it's yo here's what's also rough go go he's a father and there's no you shouldn't if something happened to you you got to say something whatever just what sucks
Starting point is 00:11:21 is if you're innocent and you are brian yeah you have kids who forever have to look at you with that accusation he's single i was thinking the kids was worse but yeah i thought we already did that i thought we already talked about the kids like dating after you got the rape accusation you said nothing you went straight to and new pussy i thought you covered it now i'll be honest the way i thought you covered that shit like a double stuffed chocolate oreo bro that's how i thought you had it completely smothered bro completely smothered then i brought in a new thing which was dating with the accusation that's got to make a girl a little bit bro i mean the man just got his eyelids done for fuck's sake imagine all that pussy he gets to see not what a morally timed cosmetic surgery real like now you wish this shit was drooping i gotta be killing him okay anyway back to where we're saying this is why this is really tricky
Starting point is 00:12:22 just the accusation no criminal charge just the accusation. No criminal charges. Just the accusation. He can't be on the podcast. Nope. Because, of course, advertisers are going to get spooked. 100%. And low-key, this is why, and every single person here who's part of the Patreon, I just want to say thank you. I'm sure Akash is eternally grateful as well.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Everybody here is eternally grateful. This is why. I'm not knocking any advertisers. The advertisers that support this podcast are absolutely amazing, but they also have a business that they have to protect. Yes. So I understand when they have to make these tough decisions, like removing advertising from a show that they fucking love and a show where they believe the person is innocent because of the public scrutiny surrounding it. They're protecting their brand. The only reason why they're part of the podcast is to grow their brand right and if that could detract from the brand then it's not going to help them but having a patreon protects us from those situations where
Starting point is 00:13:16 a complete somebody that you that you do not know some random person could completely lie about this and time will tell what this situation but someone could completely lie about this. And time will tell with this situation. But someone could completely lie about you, about me, about Alex, about Mark, and then take away everything the podcast has built. Dude, it's rough. It's insane. Anyway, it's sad, man. It's fucked up. And it's sad that these things can happen, bro. But if the allegation is true, he's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Yes. I feel sorry for the woman. Absolutely. 100%. 100%. Again, I can only speak i know brian yeah so i can't speak on something if i have someone's phone number who's involved and i speak on something without talking to them then i'm stupid i'm falling yes i'm a fraud and you shouldn't even listen to me on this podcast yes if that's the case i'm not if i'm not calling the source to hear about, but I don't have Shorty's number and I'm not an investigative journalist. I can call my boy and say what my
Starting point is 00:14:08 boy says. And I know that there are certain people out there, there are certain podcasts, and I'm not calling out specific podcasts, but I know when you're in the Hollywood matrix, you have to do whatever you can to protect yourself because you want to get the job. You want to be on a sitcom. You want to be on the show. So you can't even comment about things like this because you could lose the job. You could lose the show. You could be spun in an article. His friends are doing all this shit. That's not what we're about.
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's not what we're trying to do. We're literally just trying to have truth out there. And if that's what he says, if she's absolutely entitled to what she says, but he should also be entitled to what he says. And please believe LA Times is not writing any article about him. Yeah, and if something comes out about her lying, it's not going to be as big of an article.
Starting point is 00:14:50 It just won't grab the same headlines. So this guy's got to carry that with him. And I don't even, I understand people who will make the business decision. I'm getting older. I get it. But we didn't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And that's again where the Patreon is so fucking amazing is we can speak as honestly as possible without worrying about sponsors pulling out or whatever. We have that. Thanks to you guys. It's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:09 So anyway, thank you guys so much for supporting the Patreon, man. We really appreciate it. Patreon.com slash flagrant2. This was all advertisement for our Patreon, to be honest with you. This really had nothing to do with Brian Callen. The whole thing? No, no. In all seriousness, I really hope.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I mean, this is the weirdest, this is the weirdest thing. It's like, I hope more than anything, everything that Brian said to me is 100% honest, 100% true. That's what I,
Starting point is 00:15:34 what I hope. And it's the weirdest thing when you talk about this stuff because you also gotta hope Brian's right because then a girl didn't get raped.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Yeah. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, nobody should be hoping that what happened is what the girl said. Yes. hope brian's right because then a girl didn't get raped yeah yes you know i'm saying like nobody should be hoping that what happened is what the girl said yes because now you're hoping that a girl got right yes and it doesn't look like there's any criminal charges or anything going yes so it is a fucked up situation i hope what brian is saying is is 100 true and and uh if
Starting point is 00:16:02 that's the case i hope he gets his life back and i hope he gets back to doing you know what he loves to do man i really do yeah i just hope whatever happened i hope justice is served that's it that's all we can hope absolutely on either end absolutely talking about uh dressing in a way to lebron james lebron james is out here with uber confidence, bro. This is different level confidence. He brought a purse, and y'all were making fun of my man, Satchel. Do you remember that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah, I do. And now what? Keep that same energy. You think I'm going to defend LeBron's purse? No, it wasn't worse. This is worse. You think I'm going to defend LeBron's purse? Y'all could both be gay.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah, both your purses were trashed. Yo, can I have a little conversation with y'all? And it's just the four of us and everybody listening, but hopefully not my girlfriend. My girlfriend watches this show, RuPaul's Drag Race, okay? Oh, no. I'm watching this show with her. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:16:59 She didn't drug you into a little race, too, I think. Yo, real talk, bro. She's being passive-aggress aggressive to me through the show okay we'll be watching the girls drag race or not the girls the guy whatever they are the drag queens yeah and she'll be like oh yes yeah that one looks like that girl you used to hook up with. Oh, yeah. Every one of the girls resembles one of the girls I used to hook up with. And now what am I supposed to do? Who cares? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Here's the thing. But then you get disrespected. Now I'm disrespected. Yeah, fuck that. How? So I said one looked like her. And then that was not the right thing to do, guys. That was not the right thing.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Is that why you posted a picture of her doing this fucking insane workout? This 300-ass Spartan-ass workout where she's doing burpees, jumping straight into a pull-up? Was that passive-aggressive? Yeah, we were going through it a little bit. We were going through it a little bit. We were going through it a little bit. Yeah, I said we were going through it a little bit. We were going through it a little bit. We were going through it a little bit. Yeah, I said, we were going through it a little bit. I said, she was killing it, yo.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I tried to add some humor to make it seem like that wasn't the reason. You know, your boy posts a picture of his girl like, I love this girl so much. You just apologize. So I had one of her doing a pull-up. And I just had a heart on it. And I was like, man, how could I flip this so people don't know that I'm doing this because we got in a little fight? So I was like, she does a pull-up by herself. And the caption I wrote was like, never helping her get her bag down from the overhead bin.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I was grasping at straws, bro. Cookie just left the room. She's like, I don't want to hear none of this. I don't want to hear none of this slander. You don't want another fight. But no, it was. Yeah, that's for real. You picked on that huh i did now i did yeah she was working out angry looked like she was mad at you killing it yo no but she's nice with that pull-ups and i'm saying for a girl
Starting point is 00:18:57 burpee into a pull-up was crazy. With the ankle weights. With the ankle weights. You know what I mean? That's fucking... You know what I mean? Remember the workouts Alex used to do with his dick out? Oh, yeah. It was like one of those. You still remember that, don't you? His pull-ups. Bruh, I think about that every day.
Starting point is 00:19:13 His fucking paraplegic workout that he would do. People thought Al was Professor X, like Malcolm X. Professor X. Professor X with two X's? Yeah, two X's. I was wondering how to flack it up. But literally, he would only do these upper body workouts. And it was like the, what are those things called?
Starting point is 00:19:30 A wheelchair? Nah, it looks like it. What is it? Tricep dips? Oh, it's dips and pull-ups, right? Yeah, bro. Still only upper body. Yeah, you still got the upper body.
Starting point is 00:19:42 How'd we get here? Oh, yeah, my girl said I like trannies and shit. Yeah, RuPaul Drag Race. I'm not going to lie. The one yeah my girl said i like trannies yeah rupaul drag race i'm not gonna lie the one that my girl said all right nah bro the one my girl said it looked like a girl that i hooked up with before she was saying that i was about i was literally about to say and thank god i didn't say this i was literally about to say i was about to go yo that one kind of fine i'll tell you bro there was one it was cute yeah it was cute bro it was cute bro i hey bro it would have got me it's funny i thought i thought you were mentioning this show because i thought she was getting her fashion recommendations
Starting point is 00:20:27 for you from the show. That's what I thought. It would make so much sense. I recognize that blouse. The purse. She got that shit. Short shorts. Booty shorts.
Starting point is 00:20:40 That's a good point. Now, that show is spectacular, though. Structurallyurally it is spectacular so it's just a bunch of people racing while dragging stuff like I don't care alright guys we're gonna take a break
Starting point is 00:20:52 for a second let me tell you something that's very important look at my full if you guys are watching this on the YouTube you can see this full hair of luscious beautiful hair
Starting point is 00:20:59 I was gonna say luscious dead ass I said full hair of luscious beautiful hair nah but you got a luscious head of hair that's how much hair I got, bro. Bruh.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah, it's a great head of hair. You're right. And the reason it is is because of modern science. That's right. Balding is a choice. You don't have to go bald. You do not. It's up to you if you go bald.

Guys, I'm really struggling with this ad.

Starting point is 00:22:26 But while we're on the sports, I want to hit one more thing. Okay. I think if you guys saw this news, The Rock bought the XFL with his investors for $15 million. It sounds like nothing.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I don't know the details of this, but I think this is potentially a genius acquisition. I agree, but I don't know how it's going to work out. I have an idea. Go ahead. I have a acquisition. I agree, but I don't know how it's going to work out. I have an idea. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I have a theory. The NFL will not operate in the bubble for whatever reason. Maybe there's too many teams. Maybe there's not enough facilities to function that many games. Maybe it's just too big. Maybe the teams can't make enough money without the revenue from the stadiums. Who knows? But it looks like they're not going to operate in the bubble.
Starting point is 00:23:07 And the sports that are not operating in the bubble seem to have a lot of difficulty stopping the coronavirus spread. Baseball, you're seeing people drop like flies. That's how much baseball sucks is God is like, shut this shit down. Even baseball players are like, I'm opting out. Right? You barely have to opt into baseball you just sit around the whole fucking game anyway i think the rock and his business partner have an amazing opportunity to eat up some real estate from the nfl of the game of football
Starting point is 00:23:38 because they can operate in the bubble if they do eight teams only yeah think about it that's four games a week yep right eight That's four games a week, right? Eight teams only, four games a week. Matter of fact, if you want to bring it down to like the bye week or whatever like that, you could even limit, maybe more, who knows? I don't know the exact math, but let's say four games you could do. You could easily do four games in one stadium. If you have two stadiums, some of these places have like a practice facility and the main stadium next to each other. You could easily run that. Eight teams, bubble for football.
Starting point is 00:24:10 NFL shuts the season down because all the players keep catching Corona and they don't want to spread it anymore. The coaches are old and overweight. The amount of overweight. Andy Reid catches Corona, he's fucking dead. Well, I mean, even just overweight players. All linemen are overweight. Yeah, but maybe they're in such good shape.
Starting point is 00:24:24 That's the only thing I thought about. But the coaches aren't. Yeah. Coaches look like shit. Yeah, but maybe they're in such good shape. Maybe. That's the only thing I thought about, but the coaches aren't. Yeah. Coaches look like shit. Yeah. Coaches are the same weight. Just metal. No,
Starting point is 00:24:31 yeah, yeah, yeah. No endurance, nothing. So, I think they could eat up some real estate for football. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:36 If they do, the upside is hundreds of millions. Yes. If they don't, the downside? It's a few million. 15 million. And if you're the rock,
Starting point is 00:24:43 you're a partial shareholder with your business partner who's his ex you let them take all the costs you're the face of the brand you're synonymous with wrestling in and of itself you come out there do some you know opening intros or whatever it is this is the xfl you do everything vince mcmahon couldn't pull off yep i think that they could make a lot of money and if they don't the risk was 15 million which sounds a lot to the four of us and to everybody listening but to the rock who's probably worth half a billion dollars yeah 15 million is worth the risk the rock is like the most bankable star in hollywood he's like the only star that's never had a flop was will smith now it's him yeah he he i'm sure he was the producer on his football show whatever the fuck that was playmakers whatever ballers i think he's this to him is like very low risk in terms of like three million or whatever
Starting point is 00:25:28 he's putting in and very high reward yeah so you take that risk great business decision yes while we're talking about great business decisions let's talk about the king let's talk about the king of new york bro takashi 69 he really is no other other rapper in New York should even mention themselves as the king because they know they can't beat him with numbers. They know that the people don't care about their street cred if that's what you want to beat him on. And the people don't care enough about their raps to discredit Tekashi for how wacky he is at rhyming.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Right. Right. Right? Like, his antics swallow all them whole. And his songs, even though I don't think he can rap, his songs slap. No, he got a good ear. I'll give that to him or his producer or whoever he works with. He's got a good ear because the songs are catchy. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And this one was marketed brilliantly, specifically. Obviously, I think it's First Day Out, Al? Yep. First Day Off House Arrest. First Day Off House Arrest it's his first day out, Al? Yep. First day off house arrest. First day off house arrest. He's in Bed-Stuy. He's crossing the Williamsburg Bridge. Maybe it was the Brooklyn Bridge.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I'm not sure. He's walking around. It's his, basically, way of saying, hey, I'll do whatever I want. My first day, I'm not hiding. Now, granted, he's hiding. Nobody knows who the fuck he is right now. But he found a safe way to go.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I'm not hiding. Not I'm untouchable, but I'm going to troll all the gangsters that said I wasn't going to walk around. Right. You come to the hood. Went to the hood. Shot the video in the hood. Right? He does subtle shit that's fucking brilliant.
Starting point is 00:26:55 In the video, he has this bandage on his neck. Right? Yeah. I thought it was a mask, but it's a bandage. Right. The last scene of the video he he's driving in a car and a bandage gets caught in the wind it throws off and then it stops i thought he ripped it off yeah it comes off a little he rips it off so now i'm going well what
Starting point is 00:27:15 the fuck was under the bandage yeah now i gotta go to your instagram and i gotta see if you have any pictures of your neck if it's a neck tattoo or whatever the fuck it is i gotta see now while i'm on your instagram i'm like all right it's on a poppet i might as well follow this kid he's marketing on another level yeah he's not doing the classic like he includes the stupid money thing yeah the stupid chain shit like the low-hanging fruit of rap pr look i've got money and it's folded he does do it more obnoxiously though and it's like more it works better i think because he's so obnoxious with it what i don't understand is like why at what point will other rappers stop at what point will other rappers stop hating and start learning it's gonna take a long time it took people a long time with you with comedy fair enough fair enough it's a lot of this
Starting point is 00:28:03 ain't working this isn't the way tv's still a thing it's not going away for 20 years and then it works enough enough times you get enough million video views and you're just people like all right man i guess this is what it is so rappers just aren't there yet they're not there yet they haven't figured out that like antics sell and we don't need you to be truly authentic because that seems completely counterintuitive right yeah i kind of disagree guys go he uh i think the antics are starting to not work like he had uh the biggest drop ever in terms of billboard with his last song that he came out with like it was like number two in the country and then the next week it was number 125 like some crazy drop right like i think when
Starting point is 00:28:42 you play that antics game and people start to realize oh you're just the antics guy that gets old i'll say this i don't think that he makes songs to last forever i think more than a week no no i i really don't think that he they do i think his goal is actually to treat the songs as throwaways i'm'm going to surge with interest on one day. I'm going to spike all the interest into one day and shoot it far up to the charts, maybe get number one. And then there'll be zero interest the next day
Starting point is 00:29:16 because there's no real nutritional value there in the music. But it doesn't matter because I got my number one onto the next one. And he can keep on creating number ones that people are bored of the next day. It doesn't matter because it's low number one on to the next one and he can keep on creating number ones that people are bored of the next day it doesn't matter because it's low-hanging fruit content like it's not like he works on a bar as a kendrick lamar or an eminem or jay-z is like really crafting these
Starting point is 00:29:34 songs he's just thrown out some so then how's he making money i would also draw one more parallel to schultz if i guess you one more time there before comedy there was youtube stars social media stars antics the talent isn't really there but they got the antics and they they spike the ebb and flow they have their you know great video whatever takashi we said it he's not a skilled rapper but he's gotten this far off just antics and then when somebody's going to come around and combine skill with antics then it's a game changer and that's what it's going to take for things to completely flip it's going to take one guy who's going to say a kendrick lamar or jay call or whoever who can rap and be like nah you could be i'm gonna have antics that are less ridiculous but still antics and then be
Starting point is 00:30:12 true to the craft and be a good rapper and i think then people are going to be like oh this is a lot of marketing and smoke and mirrors as much as anything else yeah i think i agree with you it's like and i'm doing that because you're complimenting me. Yeah. But yeah, you're saying that like I brought quality. Good jokes. Yeah, to the internet where people were fine with like stupid sketches where like guys put on wigs. Yes. And then we like put high quality standup on there and people are like, oh, this is
Starting point is 00:30:36 fire. Yeah. You know, and same thing that we're doing to monologues in a way. Yeah. It's like, I want to make everybody feel, I want everybody else feel like um the condom is on yeah you know what i mean like i want when you watch our monologues to be like yo this is raw sex and then you go watch some of the competition you're like yo this is yeah sex with a condom right but and that's what it looks like and that's what i think our point is really brilliant it's like that that could happen if the next generation of rapper understands what a takashi does and then uses that but also comes through with real content
Starting point is 00:31:10 yeah and real songs and fire bars like imagine your favorite rapper lyrically had takashi's pr mind bro i think that used to be kanye yeah sort Sort of Kanye. That's a fucking great. That was Ye, right? It was like a guy who was decent at rap, but great at PR and great at like musical ear making the music himself. Yeah, that's fucking so true. So we just need the next version of Ye to come up. I don't know who that is. And that's why Life of Pablo was so big.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It was probably not his best rap, but like antics were high and then this album sounds amazing got a couple songs to slap his bars are kind of whatever but like dude this album is great and with the antics it's a different it was like i remember everybody going nuts over life of pablo yeah that's interesting who do you think the next will be mark you're in on the these young rappers oh yeah jack harlow jack harlow do you think he's got the antics though no i'm not really he's too he's too authentic he's too real yeah he's too real yeah yeah when you're from the streets you can't really take it out of someone i get it i get it jack is a tough guy yeah i don't know i mean maybe like uh roddy rich like i don't know if he has the
Starting point is 00:32:20 antics like that but like as far as like the star power behind him, he's got every cosign. Everyone's gassing him, but they don't rap. But does he understand the game? Does he understand the flex? Does he understand the troll? Does he understand how interest is drummed up now? I don't think so. Don't got it.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Is it possible those two things can even go together, though? Because if antics requires, if it's necessary- It's a tough needle a thread that's what i'm saying like if it's necessary for antics to be like oh i'm belligerent and like obnoxious and loud yeah and then quality to be like i'm thoughtful introspective and delicate yeah are those two things like necessarily even what you're describing is steph curry it's like never has somebody who could shoot the ball so well been able to dribble so well because there's no need to do it right like if i can shoot from anywhere on the court i don't need to learn how to dribble to get by you and pass right like yeah it's just it's
Starting point is 00:33:17 redundant and like i don't need to get by you because i'm going to shoot from 35 feet and i'm wet so i don't even need a crossover right and if you do come out and play shoot from 35 feet and I'm wet. So I don't even need a crossover. Right. And if you do come out and play D at 35 feet, I could probably get by you with one or two moves. It's not that I don't need every single move, which is what Steph has. Right. So then you have that super unique talent,
Starting point is 00:33:38 which can do both on the basketball court, right? That's also going to transcend to art in any way. Stand up. Like stand ups now, because of what we did, every stand-up is going to need to know how at least when they start to edit videos, post clips,
Starting point is 00:33:49 do all this. That's just baseline for stand-up. Know how to operate a camera. Know how to use Final Cut. That's bare minimum if you're a starting stand-up. If you're someone who's established, you could pay someone to do it.
Starting point is 00:34:00 But bare minimum, they're going to have to learn how to do it. So we created a new game where marketing is part of the fucking game. I'll say the person that was closest within rap i think it's tyler the creator oh yo when he first came out he was like he had legit raps and he was like trying to say something he had like an actual message and a pov but he was also going on like snl and like just fucking around and like running off stage and like his first video with him eating
Starting point is 00:34:24 the fucking bug or whatever yeah exactly that's it set the internet off yeah yo that's a good one tyler is interesting because tyler understands what it takes to make a moment yeah like a lot of people will go on to funk flex freestyle shit oh yeah and they try to do their most fire freestyle so the flex you go oh my god you're the shit and then that goes viral and then tyler goes nah you know it'd be funny if i say some gay shit and make him feel super weird that's gonna go viral yeah tyler understands the value of interest and eyeballs but he's fine on his own island yeah and little dicky does a little bit also like he's decent at
Starting point is 00:35:05 it we're like he'll make these videos that pop yeah but the songs are actually pretty good and he'd like some of his other songs have like actual bars it's just you're trying to find the compatibility between like someone that's intelligent and smart enough to know how to market yeah like write really well but also like tortured enough to be an artist exactly tortured enough to be willing to like let themselves be like and willing to sacrifice a bit of the art maybe potentially i mean there's probably a way willing to sacrifice a bit of the art, maybe, potentially. I mean, there's probably a way to do both, but potentially sacrificing the art for the antics. It's a really rare person.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And within rap specifically, I think it's hard. I think the best person who probably did it was Eminem. Yo, I was going to bring up Em. It's a different time. It's the best. But his marketing was crazy. Yeah. The music and the marketing were...
Starting point is 00:35:43 The music was up there. The music was fire. I was just listening to Emin the marketing were the music was up there the music was fire i was just listening to eminem recently the music was fire like skill wise regardless if you like rap no no he's the one he's an incredible rapper yeah the skill of rap yeah and i know people now it's fun to like look back and be like he just goes sim and him and him and the dude had fucking bars and he got respect for a reason yeah Yeah, absolutely. Jay-Z not putting anybody on his album. Right. But you're right. He knew how to drum up the interest.
Starting point is 00:36:09 He knew how to poke the right people. Yeah, dude. Going at teeny boppers is brilliant. Hells yeah. Especially when it was like the teeny bopper Olympics back in the day. It was like a new boy brand or a new girl singing every other day. And he kind of cut through that with like authenticity. Now it seems almost a little fraudulent. back then his videos were dope his live performances were dope
Starting point is 00:36:31 like he would always make a moment where everybody's talking about he knew how to make a fucking moment mtv music awards where he's like like me was his song and he had like 400 mother 300 people white kids with platinum blonde hair and the white t-shirt and the bag of jeans all walking in a line he He fucking got it. Sorry, real quick. I also remember he gave an award speech one time. He got an award, same MTV shit. Goes up and everybody's dressed up.
Starting point is 00:36:52 He's got on his fucking tracksuit, baggy ass pants. He's like, yo, I got a speech somewhere. And then he reaches into his pocket. And I didn't even get it because I was like 13 and mad naive. And he just, like a thousand pills fall out of his pocket. And he was like, oh, my bad. And then he just walks off stage. It's like, yo, he gets the fucking moment. Yeah fucking moment yeah yo i'm pretty sure i think it was him or
Starting point is 00:37:09 steve-o i can't remember but someone's telling me like a merch story where i think it was him he used to sell urinal cakes with his face on them as like concert merch oh i think that was steve-o was that steve-o yeah i remember being eminem because i think eminem heard about it was like oh that's genius yeah so it was like like Eminem co-signed it. Eminem had a really interesting thing. We need to go back and look at his PR because he had this super balance between roasting everybody and also humility, like self-hatred. He was really good at it.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Charlamagne talks about it in Black Privilege. He roasts himself. He would always get to me. Yeah, I always get to me before you can get to me. And then I roast you. I roast me too. Who gives a fuck? Yeah, it creates a really interesting authenticity.
Starting point is 00:37:53 You just feel as if you're hearing something truthful. You're like, oh, this guy's not only calling out himself, he's calling out his audience? He's like, yeah, you guys want to be like me because I curse a lot and do fucked up shit? It's like there's no fourth wall or or whatever and the artists that can do that or the comedians that can do that the people that can do that tend to transcend their peers in that time right and it's hard to not look at them you're like oh wow he's saying whatever she's saying whatever yeah
Starting point is 00:38:22 in this room full of people who are worried about every other word that comes out of their mouth. Yeah. Yeah. I got to at least listen. It's a tough one. I mean, I think making fun of yourself, there's something we admire in that. And probably for me, it's like aspirational almost.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Like when Charlamagne shits on himself, I remember some Vlad interview years ago before I even met him where he was like, I got a lisp. I got fucking black marks. Who cares? Whatever. Say whatever you want about me. I've heard it all. And I was like, oh, that's dope.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I wish I was that confident. I was like, yeah, I got this thing, this thing that thing that thing so i think there's something with eminem that was also that which is six nine got that too bro he's got the humility man like he's got the uh he's in that interview he's like self-deprecation i know my raps are trash yeah but it's hot it's hot trash i didn't even know he said that oh bro everything's making fun of himself bro he was on breakfast club he said he's like pussy got that wet wet got that what does that even mean i think it was angie martinez yeah yeah it's just but it's great it's great last point about eminem last point about eminem his one fuck up marketing wise that i saw
Starting point is 00:39:18 in his whole career when he tried to go at trump and i say why. He didn't do it as if that person meant nothing to him. The way he made fun of everybody was like, I'm going to be the guy who is the puppeteer. I have everybody on my string. You know what I mean? Oh, you're the man made fun of. You're the Backstreet Boys. You're NSYNC.
Starting point is 00:39:40 You're Britney Spears. Everybody's getting these bars. With Trump, he actually seemed angry at them. He never seemed angry at Britney. He never seemed angry at Britney. He never seemed angry at NSYNC. He never seemed angry at any of these people he made fun of. But when he did that thing, he's like out of breath. He's like fucking breathing heavy and shit.
Starting point is 00:39:53 It was like watching Michael Blouse time make out. He was really like angry. And you could tell he was affected, not the one doing the affecting. And there's never anything funny about that i feel like in his rap like whenever he would go out a rapper he would take that shit super personally like when he went at ja rule well him 50 cent whoever was on that and buster rhymes i think he went at ja rule he just seemed fucking angry and vicious when he went at like benzo wherever the fuck that guy's name benzino destroy that mother when he would go
Starting point is 00:40:24 at rappers he treated trump like a rapper and maybe that was a fuck up but i also just thought like man if he just quit after detox i'm sure he's having fun but his legacy would be crazy yeah but he fucked in my opinion he it would be crazy you're right he stayed in the game too long maybe some roy jones jr shit yeah and he's having fun so i want to knock it but it ain't the same do your thing yeah that being said he had the perfect opportunity to inject himself back in in like mainstream rap culture because nobody bullied trump yeah he yeah he took it personally he didn't bully him exactly he had the opportunity to bully bullying is not personal it's not it's just i'm an asshole you're just gonna you're the victim you're gonna be the butt of the joke yeah and he should have well we always
Starting point is 00:41:03 joke around and say he should have fucking rubbed his hair and of the joke. And he should have, well, we always joke around and say, he should have fucking rubbed his hair and poked his belly. He should have teased him. He should have little bitched him if he wanted to play that role. If he really wanted to antagonize Trump, he should have little babied him or little broed him.
Starting point is 00:41:16 And who's better at that than Trump? He's the king of, I'm a little baby. Do you think it didn't tear Eminem apart that Trump didn't respond? Oh respond oh yeah it tore him a fucking part because everybody who's ever spoken to was bothered and then trump acted like it never even happened yeah who's the guy that can do that to trump trump has to care about your opinion or he has the person who is doing that to Trump has to convince Trump's
Starting point is 00:41:45 following of what they're saying. Yeah. So Trump only cares about the opinion if the masses care. Right. So he's just playing to the masses. If the masses don't care about it, you don't get, I think he's bothered by SNL,
Starting point is 00:42:00 but he knows that his base hates SNL so much. He's like, okay, I can live with it. I could discredit him. Because also SNl cares and it doesn't seem as effective the most brilliant thing he does is crooked hillary boring jab or whatever always something what would you call donald to fuck with them that can undercut him with everybody and be like oh yeah i guess the only thing i think of is dementia donald this guy's clearly got dementia that's dementia donnie dementia donnie
Starting point is 00:42:23 i call him poor donnie bro oh i go poor i think i'm not poor yeah you are i think cuban is the one guy that's why i think cuban could have beaten him maybe because cuban can bully him with his wall that was a trash talk i used to do in soccer anytime we were playing no matter what the score was i would just say scoreboard and they go yeah but you're losing i go scoreboard and they would lose their fucking it's the all-time best trash talk you just go in the scoreboard we're winning no you're not you go i don't know you get what dumb ass i play soccer with you can't argue with a crazy person so if you just go yo trump you're poor he goes no i'm not you go yeah you are it's like but you're not getting under their skin yeah because he hates being called poor if he's actually horrible point i tried to make on patreon this is that son this is really
Starting point is 00:43:04 bad bro i thought you were about to hit us with some fire. I thought you were going to say, I really thought you were going to say when you were playing these schools, you would call them poor. That's what I thought, yo. I was like, that's sick, dude.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Yo, you're about to be the new Jack Harlow of this bitch. Yo, popping. No, what is, I think Dementia Donald is good because it just gets, it gets in his head. So anytime he fucks up anything,
Starting point is 00:43:25 is that the dementia? Is that the dementia? And any of his followers could be like, oh, shit, does he have dementia? Crooked Hillary. You're like, yeah, the bitch is crooked. What they did to Hillary was genius. Who was it? Was it you I was talking to about this, Mark?
Starting point is 00:43:38 What about when they made her look sick? Oh, bro. No, I was. Yeah, that's the guy that came at me on Twitter. He said that. Yeah. It was in his documentary or what? I heard it on. Yeah, it was Dax's podcast. talking to uh andrew morantz yeah yeah he's like all right
Starting point is 00:43:50 investigator journalist guy okay and basically he was if you want to explain it he he met this guy who turned out to be mike cernovich this guy yeah cernovich that guy said uh i'm gonna make hillary lose the election i just don't like hillary i'm not super pro trump i just don't like hillary right so what he would do and andrew wasantz was like, I saw this happen. He would get on Periscope and watch the latest Hillary press conference or whatever, and with 100 or 1,000 people or whatever, he'd be like, what can we pick at here to make it seem like she's ill?
Starting point is 00:44:14 Because he said, especially with women, but with anybody, if you make a person seem sick, you're just not going to want to vote for them. You're just very put off by that person. So she would blink a few times, and he'd be like, let's say she had a stroke. Right there. Let's do it. And then those people would all tweet it, and he knew if those people tweeted it it would hit this reporter and that reporter would tweet about it and if that reporter tweeted about then this reporter would tweet about it and then enough of that happens and it starts trending and now just
Starting point is 00:44:34 the idea is planted in people's brains maybe hillary is sick and that's enough to make sure her fallen remember when she stumbled as she was going to the car and you think about this six five years ago whatever it was you're like oh. And you think about this six, five years ago, whatever it was, you're like, oh, fuck, I remember all of this trending on Twitter. Yeah. And you can defend Hillary not being sick or people being like,
Starting point is 00:44:49 yo, Hillary's sick. It was crazy. One guy just floated the idea out there. It'd be great if he used that to stop Bill from fucking children.
Starting point is 00:44:59 No, I think he's been super against that. I think he's been calling that out. I think Cernovich has been all over the Jeffrey Epstein thing. Guy got me death threats, but whatever. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:48:15 But LinkedIn, I don't see as social media. It's like you can't move culture with LinkedIn. You move culture, sway elections with social media platforms. Fastest growing social media platform on the planet? TikTok. TikTok.

Starting point is 00:48:46 is the conspiracy that i'll just make up bill gates gets trump and other people to say that tiktok is being used by the chinese government to mine our data right okay it's not owned by the chinese government but any company that operates within china and is a chinese company owned by the chinese government is owned by the chinese government in but any company that operates within China and is a Chinese company- Is owned by the Chinese government. Is owned by the Chinese government. At any point in time, can they be like, yo, we need the data, et cetera. Some people are saying
Starting point is 00:49:11 that what they're using is they're using the kids to see what their parents' politics are. Oh, interesting. So like if the kids are doing like cool Trump posters or cool Hillary or cool Biden posts, et cetera,
Starting point is 00:49:24 dances, that kind of thing. You find what the political views of the parents are because when you're a kid, your politics always reflect your parents. Right. Always. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:49:34 You go to college, maybe shit starts to get mixed up. When you're like 14 years old, it's like, oh, dad likes Trump. I like Trump. It is what it is. I think Gates is like, I need to be in the social media game. Yeah. Or the people who run Microsoft if it's not Gates day-to-day. We need to be in the social media game. Go say that China's using this data against us
Starting point is 00:49:50 for some nefarious purposes. And they could be. Very well could be. They can't own this company and have it be this popular in America. Make sure China leaves this company, divests from the company, or at least the US part of it, and then I'll buy the company. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Now, this is where it gets really good. Who was just in front of Congress recently? All the heads of. Except him. Except Bill Gates. Why is Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, the Google dude, who else? There's one more of them there, right? Yeah, I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:50:24 It was Amazon. Jack Dorsey? Maybe. No It was Amazon. Jack Dorsey? Maybe. No, it wasn't Jack Dorsey. It was Amazon, Google, Facebook, and one other guy. I can't remember who. Doesn't matter. Bill Gates not there at all.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Yeah. Nobody more entrenched in tech. Oh, it was Apple. Oh, yeah, Tim Cook. Nobody more entrenched in tech than Bill Gates. Why is Bill Gates not there? Right. Is he making a vaccine or some shit?
Starting point is 00:50:42 Why is he not there? Yeah. They're worried about monopolistic practices from those companies. Apparently not Microsoft. So now Zuckerberg can't even go say, I'll put in a bid for TikTok because you were just in front of Congress for having monopolistic practices. So if he's really playing this level chess where he gets Zuckerberg to look like this big monopolistic motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So he can't make the pitch for TikTok. And then you come in and then save the day? Yeah. None of those other big companies that could easily afford TikTok can go buy it because now they might have too much market share or whatever the fuck it is. They just got to lay low for a second. Oh, shit. So he spoils their meal and then go scoops it up on the low potentially one thing that i please
Starting point is 00:51:28 india also banned tiktok indy's been on tiktok weirdly america copied india which is rare but india banned tiktok for that exact same reason chinese government too much data we're not doing it that's out so doesn't that lend some kind of credence you think to the idea that it's not just america doing this it's also happening with other that lend some kind of credence you think to the idea that it's not just America doing this it's also happening with other countries I think I agree with you 100%
Starting point is 00:51:48 yeah and I think the illusion with American social media platforms is that they don't share the data with the government right
Starting point is 00:51:56 but I think that is a complete illusion I think they share with everybody I think they share it with the American government not everybody but like for example
Starting point is 00:52:04 Facebook I think they'll also sell it is what I'm everybody. But like, for example, Facebook, Instagram. Oh, I think they'll also sell it, is what I'm saying. Oh, they can sell it to advertisers, maybe. But like, I think it operates in a little bit different way. Because I don't think the advertisers are doing so much like, you know, sway an election or that kind of stuff. Right, correct. Whereas like, America might give Tim Cook a call and go,
Starting point is 00:52:19 yo, we need some data on that Apple Music shit. Yeah, yeah. We didn't know who's buying what, this, that. For whatever reason, who knows why. I don't know how you even manipulate an election yet we gotta do some research yeah i don't know how you do it with that data that being said i think it's entirely possible that they're using it to to to data mine and i think it's entirely possible that they don't want to they don't want china to have all that data yes i think that's possible plausible i think that's a fact
Starting point is 00:52:43 and my theory is, I don't care how much money you're giving away after you die. If you are at any point in your life the richest person in the world, you got some sociopathic shit going on. You enjoy being the top dog on all fronts. Bill Gates has fallen pretty far in that race. Bezos is the guy now.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And I think on some level, if you're a tech giant who was for years the richest person on earth, you're looking at this like, I don't know what the fuck you guys think this is, but don't think I can't just come shut you down also. Cook, jobs, whoever. I'm the fucking guy. Don't forget that. So as soon as he sees this shit starting to pop off in India, I think he's like, okay, let's start lining up the chess pieces.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Let's start. What is it exactly to your point? What will get us a ton of market share in the same way Zuckerberg bought Instagram? what's the next closest move i can do to replicate that let's buy tiktok these guys are all going in front of congress they did put decades ago i think microsoft was under the microscope for monopolistic practices yeah they had to back off let's go we're back in the game it's been 20 years these guys are all under the microscope let's fucking go i'm gonna be top dog again don't fucking think think I backed out of this game. I'm the guy.
Starting point is 00:53:47 That was my thinking. It was like a sociopathic like. Some ego shit. Yeah, some ego shit. Yeah. I don't give a fuck if you're giving it all away. Because what I didn't understand is why Microsoft was the only one that was going to buy them. It was like, why couldn't any company was willing to put up the money to buy them?
Starting point is 00:54:01 Yeah, that's another thing. That's just what I don't understand. Why just Microsoft? And why did the article specifically come out like that why isn't it why wasn't it tiktok up for purchase in the states let trump buy it we're not trump but like let uh what's your man's name with the mavericks cuban let mark cuban buy it like why can't any other billionaire just buy it no it's true why does microsoft specifically have to buy this true they can't be the only people interested now it could be and now we're getting real conspiratorial,
Starting point is 00:54:25 it could be that Gates has a certain relationship with the US and that's why they let him make the fucking vaccines or whatever it is. Isn't he on the board for the vaccine research? I think for the pandemic in general,
Starting point is 00:54:34 the pandemic response, I think he's involved with, and that's tied in with the vaccine. And that's the thing. I think I was talking about this on Rogan. It's like you reach a certain level of business in the United States of America where it's too big for you
Starting point is 00:54:44 not to be in bed with the government. It's too big. And I like it that way. I don't want Google to be on its own. I want them checked by the government so that someone in Russia can't compromise the head of Google. And then all of a sudden Google starts feeding all that data and information back to Russia. I like that you reach a certain size and a certain amount of success. I'm not talking about a little hundred million. I'm talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in business.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And I like that the government knocks on your door and they're like, hey, we just want to let you know that if you want to keep doing this, that's awesome, but we have an agreement now. Yeah. We're not going to take any money from you. We're actually going to let you get away with a lot more than other people get away with,
Starting point is 00:55:23 but we might need to lean on you for some shit. Because if it's really a problem, monopolistic practices, Facebook has dominated social media for 10 years now. Since the second they bought Instagram, it's been a fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Amazon, who's buying anything anymore? For years, Amazon has been the only place to go shop. Well, that was a conversation that I think Robbie even brought up about the culture war.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Was it you that brought up? Robbie was saying that that like we've been having this conversation with like what america would always do is we would always dictate what the culture is right especially through social media we create these social media apps and they go to the whole world right and this is the first social media app not created by us and it's fucking incredible like if you go on it it is addicting non-stop swiping through it's hard to even get out of the app i don't know how to get out of it i i just i just delete it every time not delete it but like do the thing where you like close it out yeah yeah like i don't know how to just get to the main screen because there is no main screen yeah it's just video i
Starting point is 00:56:18 hate it but my my girl can watch for hours i love it it. It's so fun. Swipe, swipe, swipe, laugh, swipe, swipe, swipe, laugh. I deleted it off my phone. He had to. You were nonstop. It's like you just fall in the wormhole, and then two hours later, it's like, oh, shit. I don't know what wormhole you were falling in. But the wormhole. The wormhole.
Starting point is 00:56:36 But yeah, so it's an interesting time in history where we're not making the coolest app. Yeah. We're not making the thing that everybody's on. And that's a culture war that you start to lose you start to lose a culture war you're like we're not gonna let this happen like that's almost like this is not the same thing but you see communism start to spread into asia and then the american government was like yeah might have to go to war vietnam yeah right it's not because they cared about the south vietnamese people being oppressed by
Starting point is 00:57:05 communism it's because they're like we're not gonna let that shit get no further i don't want people over here in america hearing all this uh talk about everybody makes the same amount of money because if you got no money the same sounds very good yeah and most people got less yeah the only thing i find a little troublesome about this is like how can the american government just force a company to sell itself if you if like if you want to continue to survive you have to sell your company to us i mean they don't have to no you just could not operate yeah and then not but that's what i'm saying like now what if other what if china retaliates like it says what like oh google if you are amazon well they don't they do that that's what i'm saying facebook isn't in china they don't got it you're talking about china they don't have a lot
Starting point is 00:57:50 they don't have google they have their own they don't have freedom like you guys you think china is america is not it's not oh any company come on over your search is very specific you're not allowed to search certain shit russia was the same thing we when we were in russia they were telling us they were developing a youtube a russian youtube yeah and they were just going to make that the version then they can control it yeah they didn't use google they used uh yandex i think it was called oh yeah oh that's yeah so all the superpowers all the superpowers control their data and control their information right and i part of the reason i think trump wanted to ban tiktok and i i think part of your theory was that like him and gates were involved together
Starting point is 00:58:26 is that what you're saying like as a possible manipulation tool it could be like i'm gonna make this or gates could be going i'm gonna make this story so hot trump has to address it because he's hard on china right you know i mean if he's that manipulative i kind of think more that way because there's a ton of articles about tiktoring Trump and pro-Trump TikToks. And that there are certain conservative TikTokers that get their stuff pulled down all the time. So once Trump hears about that, he's like, what? This Chinese company? He's going to affect my re-election odds.
Starting point is 00:58:56 You out of here, bro. We think it's all little kids, but there's people that can vote on TikTok. Yeah, I saw some redneck ass dude, guns his tiktoks all the time like crazy following too yeah hundreds of thousands yeah 50 year old guy there's a ton of like conservative voices on tiktok and apparently a lot of them get censored like it's crazy how much we have no we're all just in our own echo chamber and we think that's the world yeah um i don't know what i was gonna ask about tiktok but oh yeah uh would bill gates allow the he would allow all the pro trump stuff to not get silenced like do we know what his policy would be no i mean i think in america there's more of like a feeling of like
Starting point is 00:59:29 you know bipartisanship and we let all all information fly but like china specifically was like i think they banned anything hong kong related also right like they were pretty strict with the censorship and it was actually built into the policy it wasn't some sort of like hidden agenda like some of the other sites but that's the discussion that like is going to be very interesting where it's like we've become complacent with the government using our data and taking our data and marketing stuff to us with our data. Right. At first when it happened, it's really interesting to see the change. Do you remember when it first happened when like you would get ads on your phone that were about something you talked about? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Remember how terrifying it was initially? You're like, yo, are they listening yeah are they listening and now i literally was telling mark earlier today i gotta add within three seconds of talking about something my girl said the word artemis and then artemis fucking furniture whatever came up on my phone i went on instagram and i scrolled and it was there and i could not fucking believe it i I'm like, I literally go, yo, this is crazy. Not terrified. I'm like, it is true. Never did we have a conversation where they were like,
Starting point is 01:00:31 yeah, we're listening to your shit and then pitching you ads. That being said, the ads are fire. Yeah, oh, they're perfect. The ads are amazing. Because they're exactly what you want. So I think one of the reasons why we don't give pushback is when they listen, so far far our lives have only gotten better yeah it's gonna take a case for someone to get silenced and it's gonna be like if a lot of people to get signed we're not giving a fuck about one
Starting point is 01:00:54 person no if it becomes a story like i like hypothetically there's one guy and he's like running a pedophile ring and he says something about pedophile shit and then the authorities are like oh we listened in we accidentally heard like our ai told us that this guy was talking about pedophile shit and then we had to go take him out so it actually worked out for the better and that people are gonna be conflicted because they're gonna be like oh well they took out a terrible guy but they also like that's really interesting you're really saying breach of security like it's gonna create a really like ambiguous thing if that were to happen that i think my assumption is oh that is really will they be honest about it was the ai hold on this is really important that everybody got what he just said what right now let's assume they're listening
Starting point is 01:01:35 yes right not listening a guy with a fucking phone there's an advanced algorithm that picks up certain words and you ask the algorithm to target certain words. So let's say you have a basketball sneaker company. Anytime anybody says anything about sneakers or whatever like that, it gets filtered into a folder. And that person happens to be talking about sneakers for playing basketball because they're also talking about basketball games and these other words. And they all get filtered and then you send them ads. basketball because they're also talking about basketball games and these other words and they all get filtered and then you send them ads what mark is saying is what if the same thing happened
Starting point is 01:02:09 for murder rape pedophilia so you hear somebody talking about right a murder they committed you hear somebody talking about a rape they committed yeah now whoever's listening can target those words and go oh shit this person is talking about that yeah the quick the tricky thing is how do they differentiate we just talked about that right now hypothetically how are they differentiating between actually something happening or law and order svu episode i mean then you just go in for like a personal review and listen and go oh no they're just talking about something innocuous and 99% of the time where people talk about that it's going to be innocuous yeah especially with the gillian maxwell and jeffrey epstein you're going to hear the word pedophile
Starting point is 01:02:47 every single day yeah exactly so i think it's tricky but i understand and the algorithm probably will get advanced enough and this is what we're talking about how good ai is getting to not even need a human being to come review it it's just going to review the whole thing itself like not just fine and make a really accurate assessment i think but like when people back in the day like conspiracy there's like all the government's going to be listening to you. They thought of it more in nefarious terms. Like, oh, they're going to be surveilling us and creating punitive action based off what we say, like Gestapo-type behavior. And until that happens, no one gives a shit. Exactly. Right now, it's only benefiting us. It's the same thing with Amazon. They're tracking the
Starting point is 01:03:22 same way. Amazon only benefits us. Yeah, they're a monopoly. monopoly yeah they're taking out all these other businesses yeah they have full control but everything's cheaper and everything's more convenient so we're just sitting back on i'll do whatever you gotta do everything's good eventually we're gonna get hit over the head by amazon we're gonna be like whoa whoa what the fuck is going on and it might be too late and i don't know how you stop that as human being you stop it before you act that's actually why you have government intervention you have the government come in. So it has to be the government because it's so against human nature
Starting point is 01:03:48 to say- You're giving kids candy. Yeah, we want the candy. Keep giving the candy but you need the big bag of- It's literally like your parents coming in and go put that down. And you're like,
Starting point is 01:03:55 fuck you mom. And then when you're older you don't have type 2 diabetes. You're like, thank God. Thank you guys. I did the whitest kid version of that. But not a super interesting time because now we're at the place where they're listening to what we're saying.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Listening, I'm going to put in quotes. But they're marketing stuff that we fucking want. I get all these cool scooters and shit. Everything cool pops up on ads. I was telling Mark earlier today, the ads on my Instagram are better than the posts. It's like a game for me. It's like, oh shit, they got me this they got me dead ass i've been like yo i didn't know i needed one of those but i guess i do yeah that happens all the time they know exactly i'm the most predictable human to this algorithm because they know exactly what the fuck i want every single
Starting point is 01:04:37 time it's great the listening shit i don't think they're ever going to really catch too many criminals because i doubt pedophiles actually use the word pedophile yeah yeah i'm gonna be doing some pedophiles but i'm sure they will talk about it in some capacity i just raped today they will they will talk about it in some capacity they'll search for shit like there's gonna be evidence and it's gonna get to the point where it's predictive enough or like catches you early enough that it's not but yeah i don't i'm a capitalistic guy but i was looking at these monopolies on trial and i was like yeah man we gotta do something about all these all of these are monopolies yeah do you think it's possible that it's not listening to you and that the predictive ability of the algorithm is so advanced yeah no it's definitely listening
Starting point is 01:05:14 i think i think there's too many instances where artemis and then within that second you scroll up in art now what i would argue for the artemis thing i think it was like furniture is that i've been looking at places have you you looked at Artemis specifically? No. Because there's a lot of times I'll Google search something and then it pops up on my ads nonstop. And it's like, okay, I get that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:31 But there's also one or two. It hasn't happened to me as often as others, but like I'm talking about something, no reason for it to pop up on my phone, but it pops up and I'm like, whoa, this is wild. Because some of these ads are mad assaulting, bro. I swear to God. Wow, what you got? I got, do you suffer from premature ejaculation? I swear to God, I got the wipes. Have you suffer from premature ejaculation i swear to god i got the wipes have you seen those no all right uh but it's like what's the wipes it's like these like desensitizing wipes it's like
Starting point is 01:05:55 rub this on your dickhead does it desensitize her too i don't know how that shit works how do you gotta wear a condom when you do i didn't buy it oh my god i don't know man it's a weird time hey say the name we might have a new sponsor i remember getting that that condom that like numbed your dick yeah remember that one no uh yeah that's the wrong guy college bro oh yeah got that number yeah I was fired. You just fucking... I mean, now I could never. But back in the day, dude, when I just had boners for days, it was amazing.
Starting point is 01:06:31 It just made it completely numb. You just pound away for as long as you want. That's what's up. Yeah. You know what I'm saying, Akash? I know exactly what you're saying. Fellas, let's be honest.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Grooming sucks. Shopping for every product. Trying to impress women all the time, going to mad different websites. All the products are trash. Everything sucks. There is now a one-stop shop for everything related to men's grooming. The company is called Hawthorne. H-A-W-T-H-O-R-N-E.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Go to www.hawthorne.co. Fill out a survey. This is what I'm looking for in a shampoo. This is what kind of deodorant I like. If you're like Mark, I don't shower very often. You literally answer every question and then they send you every grooming product you could possibly need.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Hand cream, face cream, cologne, deodorant. Mark is finally wearing deodorant because of Hawthorne. That's right. Everything is legit. High quality.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Dead ass. I used to have like rashes from some shitty, um, body wash started to use the Hawthorne. I used to have rashes from some shitty body wash. Started to use the Hawthorne. I'm good. Dead ass. It's great products. The packaging is ill.
Starting point is 01:07:31 If you bring a lady over and you got the soap that smells good as fuck and a body wash that looks beautiful, you will look like you got your shit together. This is the grooming product that can get you pussy. And by grooming, it's not just hair, right? Hair, hand cream, face cream. Smelling. It's like all the shit that we don't even know the words for as guys. But yeah, go.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Go do that. www.hawthorne.co. Again, that's Hawthorne with an E at the end. .co. And use promo code flagrant and you get 10% off your first purchase. Love it. Go. Represent the army.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Smell good. Get some pussy in quarantine. Let's go. Let's get back to the show. All right. Look, this is, we're coming back again. Akash is coming out with his dumb ass theory. So Akash is super paranoid of AI, right?
Starting point is 01:08:15 Because he read one book about AI. That's not true. I'm reading one book about AI. Let's be factual about what we're saying. All right. So you read this book about AI. You're reading this book about AI. Let's be factual about what we're saying. All right. So you read this book about AI. You're reading this book about AI. Correct.
Starting point is 01:08:28 And now everything is like AI is going to take over and everything, whatever. And you're very concerned about AI. I think it's going to be lit for a little while. Right. And then it's going to really fall apart. And you think in 15 years, everything is AI? I think flying cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:42 I legit think all of it. You always add a couple more years. You're like, within five years, there's going to be flying cars maybe 10 at least 15 10 to 15 10 to 15 10 to 15 let's put money on it let's put it okay no no we have flying cars now they're called planes no yeah what do you mean like shit flies i mean you're gonna travel yeah via flying via flight you mean people are going to travel via flight? Exclusively. Exclusively. Why would I exclusively
Starting point is 01:09:09 travel in flight? There's going to be faster shit on the ground. What if you had to walk to the floor? Hyperloop. Ground. If it's ground,
Starting point is 01:09:14 it's going to be Hyperloop or some other shit we've never seen. You can't flip, son. You can't. Hold on, hold on. I'm going to add a caveat. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 01:09:22 If you travel on the ground, it's going to be something we've never seen before. Everything in the future's going to be something we've never seen before. Everything in the future that's new is something we haven't seen before, huh, guys? Within 10 to 15 years,
Starting point is 01:09:32 nobody's driving. No, Cookie just said, he's like, I had enough of this, motherfucker. Get out of here. Nobody's driving, ever. Like, you're not allowed
Starting point is 01:09:38 to drive. 10 to 15 years? 10 to 15 years, you're not allowed to drive. Do you forget what country we're from? Bro, 10 to 15 years is glass close, bro. I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:09:48 It's dumb close. What do you mean we're not allowed to drive? Explain that to me. Because self-driving cars are going to be so good and so much better than regular people, they're going to be like, yo, it's actually a risk for this person to- Just because things are good and things are risky when we do it doesn't mean we're not allowed. I don't think you're going to be allowed to drive. That's a condescending tone of voice. Yo, but it's true. And when you put your knee up, it makes it doesn't mean we're not allowed. I don't think you're going to be allowed to drive. That's a condescending tone of all.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Yo, but it's true. And when you put your knee up, it makes it that much more effective. I was offended at listening to that. Because look, you could say, listen, there's no, people shouldn't walk. You should just get on these conveyor belts we put on the street. And that's going to be way better. And then nobody will fall and then bump their knee and sue the city. I don't think that applies.
Starting point is 01:10:24 I think that's just like a leap. You can't use your little don't applies argument when we were trying to do that with AI the whole time. This is what you sound like when you argue. But I'm actually right.
Starting point is 01:10:35 I'm right too. Oh, but then theoretically... JFK got the little walkie things. But then you could be like, ah, theoretically this, if this, if this, if this. I'm just saying what it's going to be. I agree with the point that I think...
Starting point is 01:10:44 What do you say to all the... Let him make his argument.'s this gonna be because all you this is what your prediction is yo in 10 years it's gonna be different but it's gonna be future in 10 years it's gonna be 2030 i think within the next hey 10 years you're not gonna walk you're not gonna sleep you're just're not going to sleep. You're just going to fly all day. Everything's flying time. I think in the next 10 years, you'll see 10 to 15, let's say. You'll see more pain.
Starting point is 01:11:14 What is this 10 to 15? I've changed once. What about eight years? How is it in eight years? Just the same? We just walk around? Not eight years. It's not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:11:24 You're not going to chew your own food because you don't get happy. You could choke on it and have the Heimlich maneuver you. So now chew your own food because you don't get happy you could choke on and have to heimlich maneuver you so now chew your own food and put it directly in your stomach it's not gonna happen for at least eight and three quarters just to be clear but i'm saying 15 to be safe yeah let's be safe though but i think 20 years this makes no sense i know yo we will see more innovation in the next 10 to 15 years than we saw in the previous hundred. All right. Bro, just don't put a timeline on it. Yeah, why?
Starting point is 01:11:50 I understand you're saying something that's nothing, so if you put a date on it, then you feel like you're being prophetic. You're predicting nothing, right? Yo, there's going to be advancements in the future. Well, yeah, no shit. Hey, 10 years from now, all the advancement will happen within 10 years. So in this book I'm reading, this is a situation they walk you through. They say within 10 years.
Starting point is 01:12:11 They allow you to walk through it? I think that's. They conveyor belt you through it. Why don't they fly you through it, bro? I don't know, man. We're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're not in the future yet.
Starting point is 01:12:21 In the sequel, they'll fly you. All right, dude. Okay, take me through it. So you wake up. Yeah, yeah. You're hooked up to it. Your body's hooked up to enough sensors that they say oh this person didn't get a good night of sleep last night uh-huh so as soon as you walk out the door ready for work a car comes and picks you up since you didn't get enough sleep yeah fresh sheets on a bed that you can sleep in in a self-driving car that takes you to a hyperloop station takes you from dc to new york
Starting point is 01:12:42 in 30 minutes door-to-door time is like 50 minutes to go to work from dc what if my girl is the reason why i didn't get a good night's sleep and what if my girl also is going to dc in the same car how am i gonna sleep we'll have that locked down 16 years we'll have the answer to that for sure now i'm in my own car yeah i'm in my own heart yeah what if somebody's snoring loud on the hyper i don't know if you're in your own hyperloop but you're in your own car but what if somebody's snoring loud in hyperloop they don't know that that's just the car is all you got a solution loud i can't sleep i'm supposed to be asleep well you got to be in the car right
Starting point is 01:13:16 huh that's where you get sleep is the car but we don't know there could be construction what if there's construction what if they're building a double decker to the hyperloop do you think there's gonna be no jackhammersloop? 3D printer's going to be mad quiet. Do you think there's going to be no jackhammers in the future? 3D printer's going to be mad quiet. I actually don't know if there'll be jackhammers in the future. So you think they'll 3D print it? Hey, dude, do you think they'll 3D print it?
Starting point is 01:13:36 Hey, do you think in the future they'll have 4D printing? Is that possible? They might get to 6D if we're being realistic. Okay, okay. So, Kunal, give us more. Can we ask you questions about the future and then you tell us?
Starting point is 01:13:50 As I read more of the book. No, no, no. You got it now. I'm just an expert. Just trust your gut and all the bullshit you don't know. Just use that to answer
Starting point is 01:13:57 these questions. No, you got it. What will food look like in the future? 3D printed food, bro. Weird. That's rudimentary. They're already doing that now.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Are they already doing it yeah kfc doing 3d nuggets is that right you know this is a story you know this is a story you know this is a story i will be how crazy would i have sounded two years ago being like yeah kc gonna 3d print nuggets within the next few years i would believe it okay i believe if you said the next three years we would have believed it yeah but then the next three okay, we would have believed it. Yeah, but then the next three. Okay. Yeah. All right. If you said one to two, I would have been like. This guy's crazy, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:28 This guy's crazy. Go ahead. All right. Go ahead. All right. What will planes look like in the future? Ooh. Apparently.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Yeah. There will be capability to take you internationally via rocket through SpaceX. So you can go to Australia in like an hour. Hmm. Why would you go all the way to space to go to Australia? I don't think it'll actually leave the Earth's orbit.
Starting point is 01:14:56 It'll just be more similar speed-wise and sonically or whatever. But it doesn't make sense to go all the way to space if you don't want to go there. I don't think you've got to go to space. I think they'll just call it a spaceship. It'll be similar to a spaceship. What about a space boat? That would be sick.
Starting point is 01:15:15 I think they'll get there. Would it not? I think they'll get there. Would it not? You know what I mean? You go underground all the way out of the Earth's atmosphere. Yo, I was talking about our space rope. If you were smart, if I was SpaceX, they're trying to figure out how to get to Australia.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Pulley system. Just go up, wait for the Earth to come around. They come back down. Bring that shit back down. Oh, shit. Use half the fuel. Dude.
Starting point is 01:15:34 And then you don't have to use any fuel to come down. You just use gravity. Yeah. You know what's right next to Australia? Water. New Zealand. What?
Starting point is 01:15:43 I thought we were being real. No, water is right there and that's where you landed. All right, Al, do you have any scientific questions in the future? What does childbirth look like? Yeah. What's the future of childbirth? What's the future of childbirth? Answer that, you fucking schmuck.
Starting point is 01:15:56 I think at some point we're all dead, so it won't matter. Ooh. No? But that's not 10 to 15 years. 10 to 15 years. What does childbirth look like? Out of the pussy? Yeah, is there still dicks and vaginas?
Starting point is 01:16:06 I think so. Or do you think they incubate them? I think a robot is delivering the baby. Like Uber Eats? Why would the robot deliver the baby? Because why would you need a human when AI can do it better? Just like surgery is done. It might be overseen by a human or something maybe.
Starting point is 01:16:21 But they have robots doing surgery. No, they don't have robots doing surgery. 100%. They don't have robots doing surgery. No,'t look at that what surgeries do they do i don't know look it up though it's a thing i don't know the specific surgeries but look at that look it up do they have a robot and i would know i'll be knowing shit like this because he's a female there's at least one robot there's one surgery somewhere i don't think they're doing surgery you've had a robot surgery they do is there a surgery where they could remove the dick from your throat? I want to keep it there as a thing. I'm sure there would be if I didn't want it there, but I like it there.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Okay. Okay. Do you think in the future there will be skateboarding? For recreation. You know what I mean? Will they allow people to recreate? Yeah. I think if it can just endanger you, it's fine. But if it can endanger others, no.
Starting point is 01:17:09 They're going to allow people to recreate in the future, you think? I think recreating will be allowed. Yo, if all the doctors are robots, is that like... I mean, you already got Chinese doctors. This is the next level. You know what I mean? Just a little bit more robotic. Are you concerned as Indians?
Starting point is 01:17:22 Yeah, how are you going to make your parents proud? We should be. I think that's why we're going to tech because we see where it's going oh that's why indians are so mad about ai because you guys are the the eye right now yes we're the ni yeah natural intelligence oh my god so you guys are gonna be somewhere else all right my bad mark what did you almost spell a word we're not supposed to i don't know holy moly okay um now do you think i feel like i'm in the smith cycle yeah you're in the middle when he said ni right what was it natural intelligence gotta get everybody what terry cruz chill yeah you're right my bad dog come on we
Starting point is 01:18:01 gotta compile our own opportunity negative what is it negativity is our own negativity conquer our own negativity yeah okay oh gosh i want you to have more faith in humanity i don't yo i don't you don't i don't it's over you really think how many more years do you think the human species has left 50 i'm wiling with that that's people shut the fuck up I'm gonna be alive in 50 years bro
Starting point is 01:18:30 nah you guys are all dead come on bro I think it's a wrap in 50 that's me that's just my own like I haven't read nothing I'm just like
Starting point is 01:18:37 oh 50 years is over we're wrapping this up right now wrapping this up right now I could've just beaten your wild take I never thought we're wrapping this up right now you're gonna give me any future take that you have and i'm gonna tell you why it's
Starting point is 01:18:49 not true okay just go any future take you have and the dead be dead serious that you truly believe in the future robots doing surgery say again or a 3d printing food one of those not gonna happen okay go ahead you can't 3d print certain foods. Which foods? Reese's Pieces peanut butter cups. Can't do it. You can absolutely print Reese's Pieces peanut butter in the cup. Yeah, you can make the cup, you make peanut butter. But you can't do it together. And what's the name of it?
Starting point is 01:19:16 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. There we go. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You need both. Nah, the only thing you won't have is the Reese's. Everything else is going to be there. Go. Anyway, that's next.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Keep going. Next thing in the future won't happen. Go. I want to take all his takes, put it in a time capsule, and bury it. And then in 10 to 15 years, open up to the dumbest humans and be like, stupid. And he's going to read everyone. How does it feel, Akash? Scoreboard.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Scoreboard. Okay, go, go, Akash. Go, go okay go go Akash go go go self-driving cars self-driving cars what about it that's now that's not the future
Starting point is 01:19:52 wrong no every car is going to be self-driving wrong or the majority of cars will be self-driving no that's a stupid one why
Starting point is 01:19:59 because the majority went from everyone because if somebody said to you in 10 years you said every car if somebody said to you in 10 years say every car every car. If somebody said to you in 10 years.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Say every car. Stick the landing. Don't be like a little bit of this. Of course, you could always make that go. Every car is self-driving. In 10, 15 years? Wrong. Why is that?
Starting point is 01:20:13 Because I could keep my car. Do you have a car? Mm-hmm. Do you have a car? I do. What kind of car? It does. It does.
Starting point is 01:20:24 It does. I do have a car What kind of car? I have a Tesla truck What feature does that Tesla truck have? It has a feature But it's not only that I can also do
Starting point is 01:20:34 Natural driving Do you know what that was? What was going to be your plan? Do you know what that was? What was going to be your plan? That was a girl really liking that logic I just She was just relying about everything
Starting point is 01:20:45 what features does that car have that was consent bro go go go go go go go next one yeah how are you going to get around your tesla truck what was your plan for parking sorry what was your plan are you ever going to have it park you're just going to have it move around and self-drive while you like a shark yeah while you do work and then come back to the car this is your idea i'm never gonna park in your are you predicting the future and i'm telling you why it's not or is this a different game i just flipped it oh now it's the flip okay okay that's a good point that's a good point that's a good point okay listen um that's not the game that we're playing so let's go back to the flip five flipped it back okay over the top
Starting point is 01:21:25 so no another prediction go any prediction you want for the future go I feel like I gave you good ones
Starting point is 01:21:30 I've already knocked both of those out the park you went from self drive first you said all cars are gonna fly and now he's down
Starting point is 01:21:36 to self drive and like let's go so it's all self drive and flying cars yeah pull the dick out son
Starting point is 01:21:42 wheels all together no more wheels no more circular shits no more circles how are you gonna find those dots to put on your legs we're gonna have the dots for as long as we're around we're gonna have these dots okay go go go go go go go go next prediction go 3d printing as opposed to construction we're around, we finna have these dots. Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Next prediction, go. 3D printing as opposed to construction. We're just building buildings, 3D.
Starting point is 01:22:09 What? That already exists again. No. Yeah. No. No, I got them. I got them. No.
Starting point is 01:22:16 That one does actually exist. It doesn't exist. What they can 3D print is bricks or little pieces of the building, and then they gotta build them together. Yeah, it does. You can't just 3D print a building. Yes, you can. Mark, Mark, Mark.
Starting point is 01:22:28 Mark, Mark. Hey, Mark. Hey, get in there. Hey, hey. We stand where we stand. I don't want to spin like that, bro. Stop, stop, y'all. Hey, look it up.
Starting point is 01:22:38 You guys are retarded. They're 3D printing parts. You had the same reaction to a robot doing surgery. They're 3D printing parts of the thing and not 3D printing the whole thing the whole fucking structure of the building you said there's not going to be construction
Starting point is 01:22:50 I think it's all going to be 3D printing I think it's going to be all 3D printing but then how do you put it together? there has to be some construction how do you put the doorknob on the door? 3D printing yo I got him Al I got him how do you do this? I got him, Al. I got him.
Starting point is 01:23:06 How do you do this? How do you put the thing where you fold the towel after you use it in the bathroom? I don't got him. You know what would've been a good question?
Starting point is 01:23:16 You know, I thought, no way you could print that shit. That shit needs to be screwed in. Bro, you really trusted him on the buzzer beater, bro. That needs to be screwed in. Bro, you really trusted him. On the buzzer beater, bro.
Starting point is 01:23:28 That needs to be screwed in. And you lost everybody. How's it feel? How's it feel? I won't take this. I won't take this. You said some shit you thought slapped. You got the wall. And you got the thing that holds the towel.
Starting point is 01:23:39 You can't bring that as part of the same fucking thing. I feel like I just gave the ball to J.R. Smith. He's running away. Yo, J.R., what are you doing? You're LeBron. Look at him with your hands up. That shit is impossible to put on even by myself. You couldn't even install the bidet.
Starting point is 01:23:57 I didn't try. Wait, did you not install it? No. Yo, bring that shit. Let's put it in here. Yeah. I could. You're going to put it in the public bathroom? Hell yeah. We all shit there. Honestly, I you not install it? No. Yo, bring that shit. Let's put it in here. Yeah. I could. You're going to put it in the public bathroom?
Starting point is 01:24:06 Yeah. We all shit there. Honestly, that's a good idea, man. That's a great idea. What if you pee on the part where the water shoots out? Because then the last guy's pee is going to hit your ass. It self-cleans. I don't know if I believe all that.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Yeah, it self-cleans. How does it self-clean? And how does it self-clean? How does it self-clean, you fucking ****? We need to get out one. We need to get out one. We need to get out one. All right. Listen, I got to go.

Starting point is 01:24:58 No more cash. Yeah, I'm sorry. Cash money does not exist at all. What about all the cash that we currently have? Pull it out of circulation. Yeah. And that money will be put into our have? Pull it out of circulation. Yeah. And that money will be put into our bank accounts by the government? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Nah. How are rappers going to flex in videos? Swipe that shit, bro, on the butt crack. Cars, dog. Yeah. Tekashi is going to have an extra Lambo in his video. Self-driving ass Lambo. Yo, I'm going to say in how many years?

Starting point is 01:25:29 It's stupid. That's idiotic. 100 years. What a fucking bitch ass estimation that was. 100 years? No, that's actually smart. 100 years? You're going to estimate a time?
Starting point is 01:25:37 Hold on, hold on. You're going to estimate a time? You pussy. Hold on, hold on. 100 years? This guy's estimating 100 years. Yo, let's go back to 1920 and see how things were. Just spit it, bro.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Hold on. Just spit it, bro. Son. 1920. That's two world wars, a depression, a motherfucking 80s. Oh, you bitch. We saw a new millennium in the last 100 years. Sounds like a scoreboard is coming up, dude.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Have some balls, son. Did you add AIDS in that? AIDS? God damn, son. Corona? All right, all right, all right. 200 years. I think in 200 years, there's no more money.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Actually, 100, I don't think. In 200 years, I think we got no more money. What a bitch-ass prediction. I mean that. You think you're brave because you do these short predictions. You don't know a single thing about the future of AI. You just add five or ten in front of me and then you think you're smart. It's going to be no more
Starting point is 01:26:27 toilets in ten years. We're just going to take shit to school back. America not even 250 and you're saying 200 years is bold? America longer than 250? 1776? America's when we got here, bro. America's when we got here, son. America is when we
Starting point is 01:26:44 got here, bro. Come on when we got here, bro. I know you couldn't do the math either. When I landed on Plymouth Rock, I landed on Plymouth Rock. When your boy landed on Plymouth Rock, he was like, oh, this feels very American to me. I know you just took my word on the math. I think it's very American, bro.
Starting point is 01:26:56 What? You just took my word on the math. On the math? Yeah. Yeah, I know Drew's not great at history math because he accidentally said slavery was like 100 years ago. Or no, he said 400 years ago. I just did it because that's what Van Lathan said to
Starting point is 01:27:07 Kanye West. Okay? I thought Van had his fucking numbers down. I figured that he knows about that more than me. But then when was it? I don't know that shit. It was a little too close, bro. We said 150, but
Starting point is 01:27:24 it was 250, right? Yeah. Wait like that. Yeah. Wait a minute, hold on. It was less than that. We said 250. We're like, yeah, it was mad long ago. It was 250, it was 150.
Starting point is 01:27:32 And you're giving just a little bit less time for cashless society? Yo, yo, yo, yo. You got to be more aggressive with your predictions. That's what I think it is. That's the thing. You're not aggressive. You think you're making some big predictions,
Starting point is 01:27:41 but you're still patting the stats. You said 200 years. I'm the opposite guy. I'm the guy that makes no prediction. You make all the predictions. No, I think it's not going to change. AI, I don't think anything's going to change. You got to come up on it.
Starting point is 01:27:51 We don't wipe our butts anymore. That's what he says. Within the next two weeks. Two weeks. A lot of changes coming up, boys. That's a double prediction, y'all. You got to double down on your shit. I double down. No, you don't. 10 bold prediction, y'all. You got to double down on your shit. I double down.
Starting point is 01:28:05 No, you don't. 10 to 15, you go 10. You said 20. And then you add 50% on top of your fucking prediction. Your shit is 10 times longer than mine. But I'm the one saying it's not going to change their lifetime. That's the most brave prediction. That's not brave at all.
Starting point is 01:28:17 That's the most brave. You're not going to be here. Compared to you, it's the most brave. Think about it. Okay, but your shit is mad dumb. Think about it. Your shit is dumber. Your shit is dumber. Your shit is dumber.
Starting point is 01:28:25 200 years. No, you're the dumbest. Hey, listen. Listen. Yo, I just realized how brave I am. Hey, Cookie, shut up you dog. Listen. Listen.
Starting point is 01:28:44 Listen. I just realized, according to you, according to you, this is how stupid you are. This is how stupid you are. You think you're going to get replaced by robots. Stupid. I was too excited. I couldn't get the word right.
Starting point is 01:28:58 I was too excited to say it. You think a little fucking robot's going to replace you, stupid? That's how dumb you are. You think me, me, me, me, me, me is going to get replaced. That's going to replace you, stupid? That's how dumb you are. You think me, me, me, me, me, me is going to come and replace you. That's the point you're excited about? That's the point you're excited for? This is what I'm excited about. This is bravery.
Starting point is 01:29:13 That's the point you're excited for? Bravery is investing in humanity. Cowardice is investing in technology. Coward's going to win. Coward's going to be winning. I thought by this time you'd be on my side. I didn't think You were going to stay Doubled down on that
Starting point is 01:29:27 I'm investing in humanity So you're saying By 2220 She ain't going to be the same You stupid fucking idiot What the fuck did he just say With that number 200 years from now

Starting point is 01:31:22 You pussy. Listen. You said this. You pussy. Listen, you said this. You pussy. I think. I believe in humanity. You know what? I believe a cashless society will come.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I believe. You're the one that's making these predictions. I'm saying this, bitches. You're the one out here. We're going to fly. Everybody's a car. Give me two centuries and I think my prediction will come true. No, bro.
Starting point is 01:31:41 No. That's not going to happen. You're the one making pussy AI additions. What? Isn't that one word? I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened right there. Can we end this, please?

My prediction is humans, me, I know me in 10 to 15 years, I'm fighting for this. I'm not going to let humans take over. You're like in Terminator 2 when the robots were walking. You just scooped into your asshole and you pulled it wide open for them to just fuck you in it, right? That's why I'm saying mine is actually more brave.
