I want to go right. We got to go right into it. We got to get right into it. I notified you guys before this episode. Okay. Instead of flavor and thought of the week, because this is fresh on my mind.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Oh, I like it. Fresh on my mind. Oh, I like it. Fresh on my mind. I want to know the most annoying thing that your girl has ever said to you. This can be your current girl, a past girl, it doesn't matter. But the most annoying thing that your girl has ever said to you. Okay?
Starting point is 00:01:59 That's what I want to start the episode off with. I have one that's fresh on my mind. It's very fresh on my mind it's very fresh on my mind the most annoying thing that my girl has ever said to me was um this morning okay she i'm sleeping she goes like this she goes she goes babe wake up wake up and help me sleep me sleep. Bro? I'm in shock. Bro, I woke up and I thought I was still dreaming or something.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I was like, what'd you say? She's like, I can't sleep. Just wake up and help me sleep. Listen, I would never hit, look, I would never, no, I mean this, I would never hit a woman. I would never hit a woman. But I almost threw her out the window. Do you know how crippled people are carried? Do you know when you scoop up? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:02:50 Or like a dead body or something like that, right? I literally almost, because my windows slide, but they slide pretty far. And I almost thought about sliding the window and then just picking her, scooping her up like that, and then just dumping her out the window like that and then going back to sleep i don't understand how they don't appreciate that we need to sleep yo to keep buying their shit yo you know i mean like i gotta work i gotta get up and work hard so i can buy the stupid shit you want son i it's just shocking dude what goes through your head? Like the moment, like you're restless, you can't sleep.
Starting point is 00:03:29 And then you look at your boyfriend and you're like, God, he's sleeping so well. He looks too happy. They don't like that you're that happy without them causing the happiness. Dude, wake up and help me sleep. That's wild, dog. That's wild, dog. That's wild. It's fucking, it's almost so absurd
Starting point is 00:03:50 that it's funny. It is hilarious. It is hilarious. Like, if she wasn't 100% serious, like, if she didn't 100% believe that I should wake up and help her sleep, then it would be the best prank in the entire
Starting point is 00:04:06 world. I got a question. Okay, go. Have you ever accidentally kicked them out of the bed? Wait, what? I have to just imply, accidentally kick them out of the bed. Okay, listen. My apartment isn't big enough where there's not bed on both sides, right?
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's just there's one side that's wall. And the side it's just gonna bounce it to the wall and bounce back exactly so i'm kicking up her against the wall now i would absolutely not let her sleep on the side with no wall like that's not happening at all because i'll tell you why because i need to be able to move away from her as much as i can and that includes having one of my knees jackknife and bent off the bed like the greater than it's a greater than sign off the bed like that's how far i'll roll away half your body is running away half my body's running away now listen listen listen listen, listen, listen. Dude, no, I Heisman, I Heisman not her. I Heisman the air. Like I'm trying,
Starting point is 00:05:08 so basically what we do is we start the cuddle with her face against the wall. Like her nose is touching the wall because I know, I know 100%, I know 100% that as I roll away,
Starting point is 00:05:22 she'll come closer and we'll move this way and we'll move this way and we'll move this way until my knee is hanging off the bed and then we just have to typewriter it back to the wall. So it's just... For everyone that's young listening right now, a typewriter is a device that existed before a computer
Starting point is 00:05:44 that men would tell women to write things on when they had ideas they wanted to remember. Trudy, can you write this down? Okay, that was mine for this morning. I mean, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. That's insane. Why do you think I have a king-size bed?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Bro, I get it. I get it. I am literally getting a. That's insane. Why do you think I have a king-sized bed? Bro, I get it. I get it. I'm literally getting a king-sized bed for this reason. And Akash is 4'11". This guy don't need a king-sized bed. And my girl, 4'5". Make them easily fit on the twin. But he wants to be, have so much separation.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And you gotta get the memory foam joints, the ones that she sinks into. So if she's jumping or moving, you don't feel shit on your side? Oh my God. Nothing. She and I will sleep cuddle for like 20 minutes. And then when it's sleep sleep time. That's absurd.
Starting point is 00:06:33 There you go. You scoot over and then she don't notice. 20 minutes? That's two snoozes. Wouldn't you rather have two snoozes in the morning by yourself? Listen, if I'm not tired. Yeah. Let's cuddle.
Starting point is 00:06:43 It's great. But when I'm tired, that's enough. Go. Why would you get in bed if you're not tired? I'm on my phone at first. I'm reading or whatever before all that.
Starting point is 00:06:50 You know what I mean? Dude, we need a verb. We need a verb to describe the action of a girl watching you on your phone and pretend like she's not infuriated that you're on your phone. That's my favorite line. Oh, let're on her party. That's my favorite lie.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Oh, let's get it out. That's my favorite lie. That's my favorite lie. My favorite lie that they tell, you know, like, you know how I know that she's pissed off
Starting point is 00:07:17 is she don't let me save her from oncoming traffic. Like, we have a cool, we have a cool, like, little cutesy, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:23 your cute little cutesy relationship you got with your girl, like, you're both, like, a little bit in I do that. You know your cute little cutesy relationship? You got your girl. Like, you're both, like, a little bit in the street, and some cars are coming. And you know this bitch ain't going to get hit by some cars. But you're like, hey, babe. Back, back, back. Back on the sidewalk, babe. That's the move, dog.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Let me protect you from some shit that ain't going to even hurt you. But I want you to think that I'll protect you in the event that some bad shit will happen. Right? So it's like, but there's something about me looking at my phone and like a hole being burned into my fucking ear. It's like, you know, I can feel it going into my ear and like on this whole side of my, you know Two-Face? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Remember Two-Face from Batman? Harvey Dent. Harvey Dent. You know how one side of his shit is okay? The other side is just his girl looking at him. That has nothing to do with Batman. It's just his girl Like you gonna get Off the phone

Starting point is 00:26:40 Length of corridor? Like, that is the telltale sign because the restaurants I go to are so inexpensive and cheap that they can't waste room on corridor. Yeah. They have to have seats everywhere. Yeah. Right? Yeah. But this restaurant had a corridor.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Okay. Yo. We walk 25 feet to the corridor, right? The lady goes, let me bring you to your table. We're going through another corridor. I'm like, we're two corridors deep. This shit about to kill me. Chinese food,
Starting point is 00:27:09 two corridors. Each step he's taking, he's just hearing, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching. It's like Mario in reverse. Just losing the point. I knew it was going to be expensive
Starting point is 00:27:20 because the maitre d' was black. Oh, shit. If you were in a chinese restaurant and they don't got chinese motherfucking people working at it you know it's gonna be expensive bro that's funny a non-chinese person working at a chinese restaurant that's wild gotta be expensive imagine you went to the back and it's like uh the guy from rush hour the black chinese guy he's like Roscoe or something like that.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Son, Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle. Son, it was two, it was, anyway,
Starting point is 00:27:52 so we sat down there. We, I don't, bro, I don't know what's going on. What was the name of the restaurant? Hakkasan. I never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Out of my, out of my tax bracket. Son, my girl is actually good at eating cheap, better than me because she's young. We know.
Starting point is 00:28:04 But I remember another annoying ass thing She's mad about not going cheap better than me because she's young. We know. But I remember another annoying ass thing She's mad about not going to Applebee's. We know Applebee's. Son, hold on. Second most annoying thing
Starting point is 00:28:12 my girl ever said. Why'd you take me to Italy? We should've gone to Papa John's. It's an olive garden right by the house. What's wrong with you, Arkos?
Starting point is 00:28:26 You need to re-rich that poor dad. Taking me to Italy all the time. I remember me and my girl had just started dating. This was my first relationship, so I didn't know any of how it worked. And we were mid, like, quarrel. Not quite a fight, but like a little dust up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'm like, there's a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I'm like, hey, she says she's hungry. I'm like, hey, there's a place right here if you want to eat there. And it's like $20 a plate. I just threw it out there to show her that I'm nice. I'm like, yo, you want to eat there? And then she's like, yeah, sure. And I'm like, of course you do. Then we sit down.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I'm like, you want any appetizers? And she goes, yeah, why not? And I was like, why not, bitch? I don't know, finances? Maybe it costs $16 for a plate of fucking edamame? Why not? Why not don't occur to you? Because it's my money?
Starting point is 00:29:10 That's why not? I was losing my mind in my head. Why not? What I said? Okay. That's what I said. Let's get it. Whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:29:22 When we offer it, they think we got it. It's an empty gesture. When we offer it yeah they don't realize it's empty you know what's the most infuriating thing huh when they order like a coke wait why because it's like why would you waste that money it's like it's like five dollars for a coke at a restaurant, right? You might as well just get a real drink. But if you order a Coke, you just want to make me poor. Right? It's just like there's no joy that comes from the Coke, right?
Starting point is 00:29:58 You're not getting anything out of this soda, ginger ale, nothing. The only joy you get is I'm more poor. That's the only joy, right? Just order water or alcohol. But the Coke? What does that do? It makes you fat and me poor. I told my girl something cost $300 once,
Starting point is 00:30:19 and she goes, is that expensive? I was like, bitch, you just forgot how money works. That's how long we've been together? You just literally forgot the whole scale? You don't even know anymore? What the fuck are you talking about is that expensive? Oh, man. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:30:33 All right. Well, you know, here we are. Here we are. Here we are. We're here. Yo, we went to a... This is funny. We went to a... So went we went to a this is funny we went to a
Starting point is 00:30:46 so we went to a and then I gotta shut up before I get broken up with so hey Michael got a ring you ain't going nowhere where the fuck do you think you're going
Starting point is 00:30:57 so we got a that's funny the ring is like scorpion shit get over here! It's Mortal Kombat. I just need you to push her away and then get over here! So we went to dinner, right, with her and her folks, right?
Starting point is 00:31:18 And first time we went to dinner with them, folks paid. Okay. Noble? Second time. I mean, I tried, you know? To dinner with them Folks paid Okay Noble Second time I mean I tried You know Second time We're going to dinner
Starting point is 00:31:31 I'm like yo I gotta hold it down Absolutely So I let everybody know At the beginning of the dinner We go to this Japanese restaurant I'm like yo I got it guys
Starting point is 00:31:39 Please don't fight I appreciate you guys taking me to dinner But you know I got it And it's important for me because You wanna show You gotta show them You wanna show your You know your shorty's parents That like I appreciate you guys taking me to dinner, but, you know, I got it. And it's important for me because you want to show. You got to show them. You want to show your shorty's parents that, like, she's good. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:52 She's with a grown up and she's something who's going to take care of her. Boom. Right? So waiter comes over. And he's like, okay, here, we do not have menu. Oh, my God. He said, we do not have menu. I just went like this.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I just went like, I just looked up at the top of the restaurant. Oh, my God. I just looked straight up and I said, oh my God, out loud. In front of her and the parents, right? And he goes, it is omakase. The chef make sushi and he keep making sushi until you tell chef to stop making sushi. So now the responsibility is on me to let my girl and her parents know
Starting point is 00:32:53 when they're done eating. Right? That's a lot. That's a lot to be like, you done? You full? Right? Now, there's no prices on nothing so that's scary they just
Starting point is 00:33:10 bringing the fish right and i'm like how much is a fucking mackerel i'm guessing fish prices and calculate i feel like i'm counting cars in vegas bro i'm guessing fish prices and multiplying it by four as the shit is going on and just racking up, racking up, racking up, racking up. At one point in time, he brings the last fish. And I'm like, I can't just say, I cannot just say we're done eating. Right? So the waitress brings the fish. He's about to start talking about something else.
Starting point is 00:33:42 He goes, okay, and I here. And I cut him off. I go, so what is dessert? Well done. You thought, you thought, Asian guy, you thought you was going to get me? Yo, our dessert dumb fest. I said, what's for dessert? He goes, oh, for dessert We have whatever
Starting point is 00:34:05 And the mom pop Were like Oh we're not really Feeling like dessert And I'm like Bet you not That's what we talk about Neither are we
Starting point is 00:34:12 Run that check We out of here Son you didn't play that right What I should have done Just ask them A bunch of questions You keep them talking The whole time
Starting point is 00:34:19 So they get full Yeah Oh shit that's And then you Speak up first About you being full. Because people don't want to keep eating if you're not eating. Oh, shit. That's all you have to do.
Starting point is 00:34:31 That would have been way smarter. Come on. Have you been in that situation before? Like, not exactly, but yeah. Oh, my God. That shit was petrifying, son. We do not have a menu. How was that?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Was the first meal expensive? Oh, my God. Yeah, probably. How much was it? What was the damage? It was a lot of money. First meal. What was the damage, son? Oh, my God. Yeah, probably. How much was it? What was the damage? It was a lot of money. First meal. So, what was the damage, sir?
Starting point is 00:34:46 Spent $1,000. That's $1,000. That's a good tip. Four different aftertips. Say what? Before. Including tip, I spent $1,000. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh, no, no. This was a no-tip restaurant. It's included in the pricing. There's this guy who has a bunch of these restaurants, I think, and they do no-tip. Yeah, okay. Well, tell that guy his restaurants aren't going to make it because you can't charge me $1,000. I'll pay the tip.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You know what I mean? $1,000. And there was no place for the tip. I never even asked questions. Like, there was no place, and I was like, that's on y'all. Like, in my mind, I was like, y'all should have put a place for the tip if you wanted a tip. And then my girl goes, oh, you don't have to tip.
Starting point is 00:35:21 And I was like, you're right. You know, they be saying little stuff like that, like they're saving us money. And I'm like, you're not. Don't play like you're helping. You know, the move would have been the first dinner, especially if it's not crazy expensive, which is good, just sneak off, give the way to the card. Say I got to go to the bathroom, give the way to the card.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Tried it. Really? Tried it. Tried it. They were hipried it. Tried it. They were hip to it. The restaurant was so open, it would have been abundantly clear what I was trying to do. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I know. I know. I know. Anyway, guys, I think we should maybe get into some of this delicious sports talk that we have going on here today, unless you want me to explain the future of retail. Oh, you still have an explanation? You go and do it, Micah. Son, so...
Starting point is 00:36:11 Every time you try to talk about retail. Here's the future of retail. You ready? Yeah. So these department stores are done. Right. Right, they're fucking done. It's a problem.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Right, problem. But I think what happens is this. The nice shit stays around. Right. And then. You pay for the experience. Oh, no, no, no, no. Fuck the brick and mortar version of it.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Maybe they're there, but way less of them. Okay. You can order the nice shit online. That goes to e-commerce. But nothing's going to replace Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, theseon these type of things because you want the shit right yeah um but we're fine ordering online and i think all the lower tier shit is gone and then what pops up are niche things done very well so for example suit supply where i got the suit, it's just high-quality suits at reasonable pricing, not dirt cheap, not men's warehouse. Like, you're still going to spend $1,000 on a suit or something like that, but it's going to be really good, but that's all they do.
Starting point is 00:37:15 And then you're going to have another company that's there. All we do is underwear. Another company is like, all we do are tees. And it's already starting to sprout up, these different things. is like all we do are tees. And it's already starting to sprout up, these different things. But I think what will happen is,
Starting point is 00:37:27 excuse me, I don't need to get my tee from my t-shirt, my white t-shirt or black t-shirt from fucking Ralph Lauren or Polo. I'll get a piece that I really want from Ralph Lauren or Polo. I'm going to get their denim or I'm going to get their whatever. And I think that everything else,
Starting point is 00:37:42 like the kind of basics, the simple shit that we do that doesn't need to be name brand will just be niche e-commerce sites will pop up. And we're like, I need some more fucking socks ordered. I need some more basics. A hoodie company with quality hoodies. Different colors, but simple quality. And then you wear that under your jackets, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I think there will still be a place for brick and mortar in the sense that like it's a specialized, you come for the experience of having a personal shopper. Yeah. And then people, the whole reason malls popped up is convenience. I don't want to drive from store to store. Right. Once we found something more convenient than the mall, which is just staying at home, why the fuck are we going to the mall?
Starting point is 00:38:19 But there's also going to be something to like, all right, but I'm also losing asking a salesperson, hey, what do you think? Somebody putting things together for me. he's a stylist or whatever right i think those will stick around i think that they stick around as a loss leader in uh big markets as uh a billboard essentially yeah it's a way to establish your brand yes so having your place on fifth avenue right every one of those you told, right? Every one of those, you told me this. Yes. Every one of those places loses money.
Starting point is 00:38:47 100%. But they get to stay. We have a store on Fifth Avenue. So now all of a sudden you group them in with every other store you see on Fifth Avenue. Because is your brand even fancy if it's not on Fifth Avenue? That's the idea, right? So, but I think that you lose, I'll be honest with you, I'm not very bullish. I think for the time being, stores like kith and that kind of
Starting point is 00:39:07 stuff can exist which kind of like aggregate all the cool shit and then like hand it to us yeah and i think those things will be the last ones to go but there's even we're even going to come to a point in time where like well i don't need a brick and mortar for that i can just have a website that tells me the cool shit the only thing i would push back on is i think you're underestimating or like overestimating how much people know what looks good on them most people don't know what looks good for dudes it's it's harder but for women i've realized they have no problem ordering and then sending shit right back unbelievable if i bought some shit and it's not good i just lost it that's it that's the shit that i have it's my size but um i think the reason why breaking water will stay around forever because sometimes you just need an outfit right now.
Starting point is 00:39:50 That's true. So that's a great point. And it's like, well, what do I do if I need this? What do I do if I need a shirt now? I need a whatever. So there has to be some place to get that, some place to satisfy that in some way, right? Where like I just need a pair of jeans. I spilled something on it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I have a meeting. I got to go. And I think maybe you'll have, maybe there'll be a situation where like, I don't know. How do you solve that? You think it'll be like Target? Because Target's clothes are actually kind of nice. They're not like nice, but they're better than Walmart or whatever. And they can survive because they also got grocery and we haven't gotten the point where grocery shopping
Starting point is 00:40:28 online is better than in store isn't that weird also yeah it's like because when you grocery shop you want it for now i want it right now the produce is fresh blah blah blah you know it's not grocery shopping online ain't fun i had amazon fresh you're fucking scouring the pages trying to find avocados whatever the fuck it's it's annoying it's too annoying yeah yeah no there's there's definitely some complications i'm not like interested enough in the uh clothing business per se to like to figure that out but there is massive amounts of money to be made in the changing like ecosystem with with fashion specifically there's going to be kith there are already like online versions of kids which is here's a bunch of cool store cool cool clothes online yeah buy
Starting point is 00:41:09 these you're good you got it yeah there's a way and there's another cool feature that's been popular for a couple years uh i don't know if there's a men version of it but for women rent the dress or some like that yeah that one. So this thing is happening, right? Like if I was to phase it out, right? Let's say I was in this business. The first thing I'd do is get you comfortable with returning shit online because the biggest barrier of entry for buying something online is if it doesn't fit, what do I do? Yeah. So they need to find a way to get men comfortable with returning.
Starting point is 00:41:40 And it is kind of easy, but it's a daunting task for us. It's an inconvenience. We got shit to do. I need to go to the gym. I need to do all these other things. I don't want to fucking go to the post office. In our mind, we have to go to the post office.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Bro, I got a guy in my building. I still don't do it. I got to get a box. I got to print a label. Same with me. Well, no, because they'll put it in now. In our mind, we think. They've made it incredibly convenient,
Starting point is 00:42:02 but we're so against it. In my new mailbox in my building they just renovated them and there is a post office slot so I can just put it in there and then the postman
Starting point is 00:42:11 comes and takes that mail to the post office yeah I don't trust it I looked at that shit I looked inside a bit and I walked outside
Starting point is 00:42:20 walked down the block and then put my checks in the mail why don't you trust it I don't trust it. When does it start working? It's working now. How the fuck are you asking? It's the same system as-
Starting point is 00:42:30 I don't know. I don't know. When he delivers your mail, he's just taking that- What if it gets mixed up? It's the same, but it's the same thing he does at the mailbox on the corner. I don't know. I don't know. It's a fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I don't know. Literally for me, for me though it's just i don't know find an empty box i got mad empty boxes it's prime coming to my house every day i'm like i gotta find a box that's the right size i gotta tape it even if they put the label in i'm like i gotta fill it out all these little nonsense ass things i'm like i'll just keep it and not like it it's worth it to keep it that's the thing but these girls buy shit knowing they're going to return it. Crazy. They buy 15 fucking pieces, try them all on, and their home is essentially their changing room. It's genius.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah. But there's money to be made because the industry's in flux. It's just literally what's happening with us in entertainment. There's money to be made. The industry's in flux. I got to do a's happening with us in entertainment. There's money to be made. The industry's in flux. I got to do a huge shout out to Bill Burr, by the way. Bill Burr's new special. She dropped a trailer for it and it looks fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Oh, he's incredible. He's so good. It's just comedy's in such a fucking good place right now. It's so fun. I'm so excited. It's in such a good place. Because Bill is always not giving a fuck. No.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Bill has operated on an island. I don't really consider Bill as part of the traditional Hollywood media. No. He dabbles. He has shows in there. But Bill has his audience. He does whatever the fuck he wants. Says whatever the fuck he wants.
Starting point is 00:43:58 He's flagrant as fuck. And that's going to be you. Yeah. For sure. For sure. 100. So it's like he's just so just so and anyway he's brilliant obviously chapelle and um bill did it through podcasting too monday morning podcast is the thing that like we knew about him as comics yeah and i remember why do
Starting point is 00:44:20 i do this which was like 11 12 years ago like what the fuck is going this guy's so good fucking and i still didn't hear a lot about him. Then Monday morning podcast dropped and then like, all of a sudden, he just started playing bigger and bigger venues. Bigger and bigger.
Starting point is 00:44:31 He said Netflix actually helped him a lot. Really helped him. Netflix made him an international act. Yeah. Because he was on there early. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah. Him and Ali Wong were like the people Netflix made. Yeah. Yeah. So true. And then it's just, yeah, he's just a fucking beast, man.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So I'm excited. I'm just so excited for comedy. And it's great when there's a thirst for something and the best people doing it are putting out the product that they're thirsty for. It's like people have been starved for flagrancy and now that starvation is met with like it's like piranhas you know yeah you're just throwing fucking you know a t-bone steak or some chum in the water and the piranhas are gonna attack and it's just such a great place for comedy man so i'm i'm fucking psyched go check that out watch the trailer you know and shouts to bill burr the motherfucking goat man so good i want to see what his material is like with a kid too yeah yeah he has a funny bit on the uh the trailer which is i'm not giving anything
Starting point is 00:45:30 away this is just what the trailer gives away he goes um he goes you know like uh i i don't understand why my wife complains she's got i mean like i'm a great guy did you see it he goes he's i'm a great guy okay i pick up after myself pick up after myself i think i'm a great guy. Did you see it? He goes, I'm a great guy, okay? Pick up after myself. Pick up after myself. I think I'm a pretty good dad. She'd give her whatever she wants, whatever. Work hard and make money. Work hard and make money.
Starting point is 00:45:54 The only thing that she could possibly complain about is my personality. Who I am as a person. Who I am as a person. Oh, that's good. That's great. That, that's good. It's great. It's just so good. And this idea of like his daughter hasn't really seen him yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Like she hasn't noticed the anger. Yeah. Like she's just seen like little things of it. It's like, dad snapped a baseball bat over his knee or whatever. Yeah, I'm excited. Anyway, let us talk about some things, Akash. What you thinking? Dude, the Texans made some big trades, crazy trades.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Explain why you get rid of Jadavious. Jadavian Clowney. Jadavian Clowney. I cannot tell you why. Here's why to me it's so fucking stupid. So their thinking is, I think he's holding out. He's a free agent next year. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:41 So he has one more year on his contract, and then he's a free agent. Le'Veon Bell situation. They traded him for a third-round pick. The reason I think it's dumb... Third round? Seattle got him for a third-round pick. Whoa, I didn't know he went to Seattle. He went to Seattle.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Seattle just got scarier. And they're always kind of a threat because Russell Wilson's great. Their defense is always good. Let me ask you a question. Wouldn't you have traded always injured J.J. Watt before you trade Jadavis Clowney?
Starting point is 00:47:10 I'm not saying Jadavis Clowney has an injury-free record, but this guy's literally every season Jadavion Clowney. Every season he's injured. Yeah, I don't know what that... Well, I guess Jadavion is holding out. So you could theoretically... I don't know how salaries work with trades. I think you have to... From what I understand, you have to pay a lot of the guaranteed money still if you trade them.
Starting point is 00:47:30 So maybe with Watt, they were like, well, we're going to keep having to pay the guaranteed money when we trade them. So there's no reason to trade them. I think. But I don't get it because if Jadavion Clowney sat out for a year and signed with somebody else like Le'Veon Bell did, you get what's called a compensatory pick the following year. And it's based on how much money they get signed for and a couple other factors. But like Jadeveon Clowney would have got huge money, which would have gotten you a third round compensatory pick in two years.
Starting point is 00:47:57 That you would have got anyway. So you basically said, I'll take a third round pick next year instead of two years from now. Why? What's the fucking difference? Just have him sit for a year. See if a better offer comes along. Teams get desperate. The Cowboys traded a first for a receiver.
Starting point is 00:48:11 It worked out, but still. It worked out, but I would have definitely given a first for Jadavion Clowney if I think I'm one defensive playmaker away from getting a Super Bowl. Go. Give me Jadavion. Here's a first. I don't give a fuck. I'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Wow. That's why I think it was so dumb. And then to fortify their offensive line, which is a nightmare, but they traded two first-round draft picks and a second-round draft pick, which is a crazy haul for Laramie Tunsell, who's a good— I haven't heard him great tackle. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't really keep up with Miami, but he's the starting left tackle for Miami.
Starting point is 00:48:44 And that left tackle is an important position because if you're playing quarterback, he protects your blind side. So traditional thinking, now people are saying there's a lot of pressure that comes up the middle. So the blind sides aren't as important, but like the blind side typically in traditional football, that left tackle, if I'm a right-handed quarterback, I'm throwing this way. I don't ever see this guy coming. So I need my best guy protecting me. I need the most important lineman is that left tackle. So they traded for him, and he's good. He's a young player.
Starting point is 00:49:11 And Kenny Stills, but two first-round draft picks and a second is like— Oh, shit. They got Kenny out of there. Yeah. Well, they wanted to kind of get him out of there. Kenny was having issues with the owner because Trump, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah. Still, that seems like a lot to give up.
Starting point is 00:49:22 And then you lost your Davion Clowney, so you lost stud you got another stud but your net is like I gave up two first round draft picks and a second to get a third round draft pick do you think it's possible that Miami wants to lose Miami could but Miami's got two first round draft picks from from the Texans now they got their own first round draft picks wait for it this now. They got their own first-round draft picks. So wait for it. Wait for it. This is what I was told, and I got to keep my sources quiet. Okay. Right. But remember that Eagles coach that did all the crazy science stuff so that they could—
Starting point is 00:49:57 No, no, no, no. The one that I was telling you he was— Oh, okay. For the Super Bowl. Right, right. The Eagles Super Bowl coach, not the head coach, But he basically put all these heart monitors on the players and based on their levels of exhaustion, calculated the best three plays to do in that moment.
Starting point is 00:50:14 He's now with the Dolphins. And the thing was, yo, the Dolphins are about to win this year because they got this guy. But now what I'm hearing isins are about to win this year because they got this guy. But now what I'm hearing is that they want to lose this year so that they can get Tua. That's interesting. So now, now I heard that
Starting point is 00:50:34 a while ago. When I hear this, that they're giving away their star-wide receiver, when they're giving away multiple things to get what in return? Draft picks. Now, you might not have the number one draft pick, but if you got two firsts. Yeah, you can move up.
Starting point is 00:50:48 That's a good point. That's a good point. So if that is the case, it'd be very curious. I'd be very curious to see what happens not this year, but next year with that team and with that quarterback. Related to that, they traded, the Cardinals drafted Kyler Murray this year. Yeah. Last year they drafted a
Starting point is 00:51:05 kid who people are a lot of people are very high on and some people are very low on josh rosen yeah josh rosen after the cardinals drafted uh kyler murray the dolphins picked him up for a second round draft pick which isn't much if you have a good quarterback he's worth two first round draft picks in a second okay that's the most important position yeah a second round draft pick for potentially a good quarterback yeah is nothing so i would not be so quick to be like oh we got a tank for tua but i do like this is what essentially what the browns did is we're just gonna hoard picks and then we're gonna figure out what to do with that draft maybe we'll draft a bunch of good players maybe we'll trade to move up maybe we'll keep moving down like the browns just hoarded draft
Starting point is 00:51:43 picks and now that's why they seem so set and why they can trade for Odell because they have so many rookie contracts that are cheap. It's like, well, we have tons of cap room or we have cap room to fuck with. Right. If you have a bunch of picks, your cap is way lower for the first maybe, what, three years or something like that? The first four years, five years for a first-round draft pick, four years in particular are low salaries.
Starting point is 00:52:04 So we got Capron. That's the game. Let's go for it. That's why the Eagles were able to sign everybody when they had Carson Wentz on the rookie deal. Because we have Capron. Rams are Jeff and Jared Goff. So then what is the game once you have an established quarterback that you have to play? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Nobody knows that except the Patriots. That's like the big thing that everybody's saying is the Patriots somehow do it. Nobody else knows how to... Where do they save money? I don't know. I mean, we must know. There are certain positions... Well, they save money on offense. And Tom Brady is not the highest paid quarterback. He's like the 12th
Starting point is 00:52:36 highest paid quarterback. But there were years where he was incredibly high paid and they still were effective. I think he's always been lower than Max. He's always taken a little less. Okay. But still. But still. You're still spending a large percentage. It seems like they invest in lines, quarterback, and that's it. They don't have high-priced corners that I remember.
Starting point is 00:52:52 The corners are reasonable. The linebackers are reasonable. The defensive line seems to be paid well, right? They had some big guys, I think, on their D-line. They'll dip into free agency and sign a big guy here and there, but it's never crazy. Wide receivers, they don't pay a lot of money. Wide receivers, nothing. Running backs, nothing. I mean, name the last major wide receiver
Starting point is 00:53:11 or running back they had. Well, name the last major running back that they had. I remember they signed Danny Amendola after Wes Welker left, and he was kind of a big deal for them. And then he got a big contract with the Chargers, I think. Probably. They let you go get a bigger contract. Go do that.
Starting point is 00:53:26 That's you. That's you. You got that. We'll find some other average-ass white guy to win Super Bowl MVP. It's fine. So that's their whole thinking is there are certain positions in this game that you get meaning, you get a marginal increase in value with superstars. a marginal increase in value with superstars.
Starting point is 00:53:50 I think their philosophy is, yes, having an elite Odell Beckham Jr. wide receiver is, yes, he is elite, but based on the amount that you pay him more than an average wide receiver, you're getting nominal or marginal increase. Maybe that's a philosophy. It makes sense the way you're saying it. Because think about it. Let's say you pay a regular wide receiver 10 mil a year, and you're paying Odell 20, right? And let's say Odell in that Patriot system is going to get you 20% more yards.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah, whatever it is. It's not worth it. It's not worth the 100% more that you're paying in salary? Yeah. I think that's an interesting philosophy. Dude, here's what I think. If I was the Cowboys, I would have, in this draft, when the Dolphins traded a second,
Starting point is 00:54:35 I'd have said, I'll give you a second and a fifth or something. That way, if Dak is trying to hold out for top five money, and I think he's good but not worth that, now all of a sudden look you can go if you want to i got a good young guy that's sitting here all year ready i didn't they were going to hesitate because they gave up their first already but i would have loved to see the cowboys trade a second for josh i would have loved it even if he's not great it's worth a shot because it checks the guy trying to get the contract yeah go buddy
Starting point is 00:55:05 I can walk away from you yes and right now they're in a situation where they can't walk ah Dak has a lot of leverage which is if I leave
Starting point is 00:55:12 what the fuck do y'all have and if you got a quarterback who could who has potential you can say look we might not be as good or we might be better
Starting point is 00:55:19 and we will definitely save a lot of money because he's still on a rookie deal for two more years three more years whatever it is so like
Starting point is 00:55:24 go if you need to, buddy. We're good. It's interesting. Go sign for somebody with big money and you'll lose all the endorsements of being the Cowboys quarterback. You'll lose the Campbell's Chunky Soup. You're not the Campbell's Chunky Soup fucking spokesperson in Cincinnati, I promise you. Yeah. I promise you.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Chess moves. Yeah, that's what I would have done. Major fucking chess moves. Somehow I didn't say it because nobody else on earth suggested it, but I was just like, why would you not do that? That's the Belichick move. Because they're not thinking that far in advance. I guess not.
Starting point is 00:55:56 And that, to be honest, for me, that is what happens when a coach is not concerned with his longevity. Yeah, true. Like Belichick can play long game because he knows he's going to be there. Well, for the Cowboys, the GM is the fucking owners of the team. Right. That's the other issue, right? So it's like- You've got longevity.
Starting point is 00:56:18 You have longevity, so you have to make those moves. But if you're not sharp enough, and maybe Jerry Jones just doesn't know the game enough, so he can't make those moves. And your coach, you can't expect him to make those moves because he's like i might be gone i need to win every year i ain't worried about two years from now yeah it's very interesting it's very interesting my man should we pay some bills pay some bills right quick well while we're talking about it guys if you are gambling this year you got to do it through my bookie okay it's a new season antonio brown is on the raiders levion bell is on the jet sodell beckham jr is in cleveland

I haven't recalled seeing a Campbell's commercial since. That chunky suit took a hit, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Donovan McNabb, the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles,
Starting point is 00:59:04 for those of you guys who are not fans of American football, was doing campaigns for Campbell's Chunky Soup. Chunky Noodle Soup? Was that it? Just Chunky Soup. Just Chunky Soup. Yeah, they got a bunch of different kinds. And Campbell's was these tin can can soups perfect for the apocalypse and
Starting point is 00:59:29 they were just massive ads and we all knew about it and I think I actually ate more soup back then than I do now isn't that crazy that's fucking nuts those ads worked on me they worked
Starting point is 00:59:39 they fucking worked is it also that we were just young and poor and couldn't afford food food possibly i wasn't poor yeah you're right but my parents did feed us poor yes she fed you like a scott yeah we've got we're very very very working class in terms of the food we got a lot of pasta with a red sauce a lot of campbell's a lot of chili in the can chili in the can mainstay in my family like if we got cheese on it that was like damn mom's in a good mood real talk yeah very very few meals meals but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, a great life.
Starting point is 01:00:26 I didn't realize how poor I used to eat until fairly recently. Until I started taking you out on the road, bro. I mean. Hey, Al, why don't you get yourself a Coke? We're not having $1,000 Japanese dinners. We're not there yet. I think we've had some expensive meals. I remember that one time.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Do you remember that one time when I took you guys? What's coming? I got you, Newit. I got you, Newit. You picked it up because I said one time twice. I was trying to calculate that shit, bro. Fuck. Forgot that one.
Starting point is 01:01:02 I whiffed. I whiffed on that one. What's coming? What's coming? What's coming? I was trying to think of it. It wasn't there yet. It was just kind of like formulated in my mind. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Anyway, but in all seriousness, this is a very important podcast because it very well could be the last one that Alex and I do. it very well could be the last one that Alex and I do. Wednesday night, we go to Mother Russia. Yeah. We don't know what we're getting into. We don't know what we're walking into. But we do know hookers will be fun.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I wanted to ask you something, but off air, though. I hope your girl's not listening. I heard you're in sports. It was like, ah, it's over. It's all entertainment, babe. All entertainment. All entertainment. Now, in all seriousness, we're going to Russia to do shows.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Why they would book me to do shows there, I do not know. I don't think any of them speak English. I've heard rumors from Godfrey, comedian Godfrey, hilarious comedian. So funny. Godfrey told me when he did the festival last year, he was the first comment to go, they had a live interpreter. So it was happening during the show.
Starting point is 01:02:17 People had headsets in, like it was the UN, and they were interpreting the jokes. So this is going to be wild. I'm very excited. I hope we make it back. Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, Andrew Schultz. We are going to Russia. We hope to come back Sunday.
Starting point is 01:02:35 That's all I can say. Are you doing flight miles yet? Are you doing that? Don't know how to do that. It drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. It's difficult. You fly so much,
Starting point is 01:02:44 you would get upgraded to first class every time you flew. Don't know how to do it. You're stuck with one airline. How do I do that. It drives me crazy. Son, it drives me crazy. It's to the point you fly so much you would get upgraded to first class every time you flew. Don't know how to do it. If you just stuck with one airline. How do I do that? That's bullshit.
Starting point is 01:02:50 We've been telling him to pick an airline and I'm still waiting for you to pick. I'll set up the fucking account as an Indian that drives me crazy to see you just
Starting point is 01:02:58 walking away from first class upgrades for free. No, but Aka, she has a thing. Which one should I do? What airline should I do? I don't know which ones to do.
Starting point is 01:03:05 It's simple. I set up accounts for every fucking airline. So every time we fly, I'm entering that shit. So you're getting my points? You're getting your points, but you're getting it so slowly because we're taking different airlines. Okay, well, let's just choose an airline. Let's do it right now on Flagrant 2. Let's choose an airline.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I think if you like flying out of LaGuardia or JFK, I think Delta's the move. Don't like the colors. American? You are American. You're proudly American. Son, I'm American, son. You mad American. What about...
Starting point is 01:03:33 But their shit's is trash, though. American contract. I'm united in this trash, but I just committed at this point. Purple planes, who's that? Oh! I like that. Gay air? Also known as a fart.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Give me a second. It comes out of the ass. It's air that comes out of the ass. Guys. Uh-huh. I'm an open butthole. Okay, so there is Virgin, which is now owned Open butthole. No, no. Okay. So there is Virgin.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's Virgin. Which is now owned by Alaska. Like it a lot. I would go with that. Do they go everywhere? They don't fly everywhere. And from what I understand, you don't get first class upgrades. That was years ago when I was trying to decide who I was going to go with.
Starting point is 01:04:22 But if you don't get first class upgrades, it's a waste. I want first class upgrades all the time. Yeah. All the time. The homie needs the leg room. I need the leg room. Yo. What are we going to do? Huh?
Starting point is 01:04:33 What are we going to do? We got to pick it right fucking now. I'm doing it right fucking now. I'm with United. It's not great. I'm going to be honest. I hope somebody that works at United is listening. Y'all ain't shit.
Starting point is 01:04:40 No. Weezy was telling me don't go Delta because everybody goes Delta. That's the one thing about Delta. But let me let me say one thing to that delta two things one everybody seemed to get delta so it's harder to get the because you're competing with more people we're calling gag non right now other but the other thing about delta is you fly so fucking much you're gonna beat 95 i'm gonna beat them all yo you're on you're on to beat 95% of those guys out. I'm going to beat them all. Yo, you're on right now. We're on flagrant two. You're on right now.
Starting point is 01:05:07 You shut the fuck up. No, this is not about you coming in tough. Okay, this is serious. Okay? Right now, we're choosing what airline we're going to travel for the rest of our lives. Okay? Oh, wow. Okay, this is a big decision.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Okay? Because apparently, I'm not getting the points I deserve, and Akash says I should be first class on everything, but I'm not. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. So. What airline did you go to Japan? What airline did I go to?
Starting point is 01:05:34 Oh, no. Japan Air. See who they're affiliated with. They're usually, like, with one of the major airlines, and you can still get miles from that. Oh, they got, like, a cousin or something that's in the system. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Like Air France is a part of the Delta team, whatever, the Sky team. So whatever I got that shit with, you're saying I got a... And you can transfer... Because at all those points, because if you fly business class,
Starting point is 01:05:59 you get double the mileage. So like a 20,000 mile flight to Japan, you get 40. Double? mileage so like a 20 000 mile flight to japan you get 40 double double say it dumbledore okay so i think whatever that whatever that airline is affiliated with mark whatever that airline is affiliated with, Mark, whatever that airline is affiliated with,
Starting point is 01:06:28 I think that we're going to take that and we're going to go. Hold up, Mark. You're smart. Just do research. See what the best one is. Go with that. What's the best airline, Mark? I'm thinking Delta.
Starting point is 01:06:37 You get a part of the Delta team. That's what you want. Or you just go private. You stop being cheap. What happened, Al? No, he just said Delta, and we're not going to do Delta. Why are we not doing Delta? Because you're never going to get the upgrade.
Starting point is 01:06:50 You'll have all the points, but you'll never get the upgrade. But that's what I'm saying is the idea is everybody flies Delta, so you don't get as many upgrades. He flies so much, I think he still beats those guys. Yo, here's a question. What if I just take all their points when they fly with me? You can't. You can only take the points you pay.
Starting point is 01:07:04 You get like the points. I pay for it all. But the upgrade points you don't get. Damn. It's different. It's weird. I got to take all their points. Alex is just so loyal to Southwest.
Starting point is 01:07:13 He tried to fly that to Russia. Are you a fucking idiot, dog? Yo, son. Son, son. We're at the Russian visa, right? Thank you for bringing that up, Gagnon. So we're at the Russian visa place, right? Try to save us money.
Starting point is 01:07:23 It's nerve-wracking. You know what I mean? It's nerve-wracking. Of course.. This shit is mad, nerve wracking. You know what I mean? Like, it's nerve wracking. Of course. Al got to lie about his felonies. You know what I mean? So we're going there. And in order to get our visas, we have to have a flight to Russia.
Starting point is 01:07:35 We didn't have the flight yet. So I'm like, Gagnon, go book the flights. We're booking the flights. And Al just turns around in front of everybody at the Russian visa place. He goes, yo, yo, see if Southwest goes there because I got points. I got mad points. From New York to Sheriff Tanko Airport in Moscow or Southwest, bro. I got points, bro.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Yo, see if they got Southwest or Spirit. See if Spirit goes there. How the fuck am I supposed to know what airlines go where? They got a Chinatown bus to go to Russia? Son. All right, Mark. Figure that out
Starting point is 01:08:13 because we got to do this. We got to be first class. We should all be first class the amount we fly, right? Yeah. Yeah, we're about to go Casey Neistat. Got him.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Got you. All right. Yo, the amount of people that know him from coming in his shower, it's hilarious. Tell the story, Al. Wait, which what? He gets in every single show. It's so funny. Son, tell the story about Chicago.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Okay, so he gets on stage. He's like, so he was selling merch before the show. He's like, hey, I'm the merch guy. Some of you know me as the merch guy. And then people just start yelling out, and you jerked off the show to shower. So the whole place goes,
Starting point is 01:08:56 oh! So they erupted. I told, because I had to tell, it's like, people don't get it Like We got We got like the fucking We got a mafia out here You know what I mean
Starting point is 01:09:08 So like When we introduce people To the army They know you Yeah It's different You know what I mean So like
Starting point is 01:09:14 When you come out to the shows If you've been on the podcast They're gonna know Who the fuck you are They're gonna know Chris They're gonna know Giannis They're gonna know all the people But it was funny
Starting point is 01:09:22 They're like You whacked off And blah blah blah What a bad first impression To make all the people. But it was funny. They're like, you whacked off and blah, blah, blah. What a bad first impression to make on the Army. God bless it. Anyway, Akash, what else are we thinking? Let me see what else.
Starting point is 01:09:37 The Chargers said that Melvin Gordon can seek a trade, which I think means they are going to try to trade Melvin Gordon. Now, I like that. But before we get into that, while we're talking about San Diego, Now, I like that, but before we get into that, while we're talking about San Diego, it's very close to Mexico, which is a country very close to my heart. And Mexico is the inventor of the taco. Oh, yes. Let's talk about that. And Lebron James announced on his Instagram that every Tuesday is Taco Tuesday. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Any cultural appropriation here? None? None whatsoever, but that's fine. People were excited. It was an embracement of another culture. Yeah. It was exciting to see. I'm sure our Latino brothers and sisters were like,
Starting point is 01:10:22 ha, this is awesome to see the greatest basketball player in history embracing their culture, their cuisine. What an amazing bridge that has been built to connect these two cultures. And this week, LeBron James announced that he has trademarked Taco Tuesday, or is trying to trademark. Trying to. One, how? Yeah, I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Like, I've been having these thoughts lately just about how absurd a trademark is in a lot of ways. Like, trademarking a word? Ohio State tried to trademark the word the. Son, what do these people think like you don't own anything like you don't the idea that you can own shit is so fucking absurd. Lil Duval
Starting point is 01:11:17 he created basic bitch. Yes. That's the guy calling everybody basic bitch. Yes. Now basic is just a term in the lexicon. Do you gotta pay him five cents every time you say basic? Dog, it is, even let's get ready to rumble. Okay, you said a few words together. It doesn't make it
Starting point is 01:11:33 yours. I disagree with you guys, man. Okay, go on. Go why? Give me the other. So, let's take the let's get ready to rumble guy. No, that's actually because he's the first guy to really make that thing. Taco Tuesday, every fucking town got a Mexican restaurant that does Taco Tuesday. So if you pop up and now you have a Taco Tuesday on Instagram, it ain't yours. So I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:55 I didn't look into details, but I don't know if it's just spelled out the correct way or Taco Tuesday, the same way how butt. What the fuck? correct way or taco tuesday the same way how you thought that he trademarked using a mexican accent no because budweiser trademarked the this is so fucking yeah so it's like if it's said that way no so then people can't put it on shirts or use it in commercials if you're using his likeness and saying taco tuesday i get it no because that's his likeness that you're not allowed to use no but he's been saying it the way that he said it he popularized it like t-a-a-a-c-o-o but how you can get around that easily if it's if he spells it t-a-a-a i can spell it t-a-e-t-a-a
Starting point is 01:12:40 or like an extra a yeah true but i'm just saying he just wants like that way of saying it to be, oh, that's my shit. Why? So he can make money off of it. Well, I think it's so people can't make money off of what he popularized.
Starting point is 01:12:53 But in my opinion, I don't think, I don't think you should be able to own words per se. Like, and I know I come from stand-up comedy, right? So that's like hard because people could say,
Starting point is 01:13:02 people say, you know, what if somebody does your joke? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's different. I think that's hard because people could say, what if somebody does your joke? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's different. I think that's somebody stealing your intellectual property. He would say the same thing. Yeah. But what we would say is that existed before you and we know for a fact that existed before you.
Starting point is 01:13:17 We know 100% fact that Taco Tuesday existed before you. So there's no way that you could say that's your intellectual property. for you. So there's no way that you could say that's your intellectual property. Whereas I can argue that unless you can show me this exact thought that I've had, that I put together, right? If someone else has had that and done that before me, then I can make the argument that that thought is mine, right? What about poetry? What about it? Someone writes a poem and then other people perform it I mean that's yours man it's like if they're
Starting point is 01:13:50 performing your poem like like yo that's yours for me as a comic it would be about the credit it would be knowing
Starting point is 01:13:57 if you're doing my joke knowing it's mine if you're just telling somebody Akash Singh said this joke great if you're saying the joke as if it's yours and your thought, fine. I don't think anybody is saying Taco Tuesday and people don't know where it's from.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Or even that. It's like you can't trademark something that has existed before you. That's so fucking dumb. Yeah, but he's saying it different. No, he's not. His point is. He's saying it like he thinks Mexicans say it. It's like he's using a stereotypical Mexican accent to say it.
Starting point is 01:14:25 I'm surprised he hasn't gotten in trouble for that, to be honest. Yeah, like imagine you were like, Chinatown buffet. We'd be like, holy shit, this is the most racist. LeBron, you are racist, but it's Taco Tuesday. That's okay? That shit rings off, son. That shit rings off. That's why I had two Taco Tuesdays after that. That shit rings off so it rings up that's right two taco tuesdays after that it rings off
Starting point is 01:14:47 but it's just like the budweiser whatsapp yeah but what's up has existed before that that's crazy they trademarked that i think in his mind it's like i don't want to see motherfuckers selling shirts with this on it but exactly it's also like man bro you're a billionaire like no you got to take that l like i'm sorry if you make a billionaire. No, you got to take that L. I'm sorry, if you make a fucking phrase funny or some shit like that. And everybody knows it's yours. And if motherfuckers want to sell some shirts on their own, it's not fucking Champion putting out Taco Tuesday shirts. It's not Nike.
Starting point is 01:15:18 We share language. We share phrases. That's just part of culture that's shared. If you're like, yes, if you invent that, whoever the first person to invent that is, you gotta chalk that up to the game, dog. You just invented that. That's what it is. I disagree.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Duvall should have capitalized off of Basic Bitch. He should have trademarked it, threw out some shirts. He could have made a bunch of money. I'd be surprised if he wins this, to be honest. He gotta lose it, bro. Ohio State lost their THE thing, because they wanted to sell shirts that just said the on it which is a hot shirt if you go to ohio hell yeah but i think people are like no you don't get to trademark that word you just don't uh somebody else tried to tom brady tried to trademark terrific tom or
Starting point is 01:15:58 tom terrific and i think he they said no to that uh so talk to you i'd be surprised if it won and then you had made the uh the argument one time it's like um if somebody invents something in america and then somebody in turkey invents the same shit but has never seen that it shouldn't be illegal for them to do that correct and i completely disagree with that because we can't prove that the person in turkey didn't see well that's why you have like trademark coalition. I mean, that's how I feel with jokes. If there's somebody that has thought of a similar idea than me as a joke, but has never seen me perform, I've never seen them perform, I'm not going to accuse them of stealing my joke.
Starting point is 01:16:36 I'm just going to say, hey, we both have parallel thinking in this regard, and that's just what it is. Matter of fact, whenever I've seen anybody do something similar to me, I simply just go up to them and be like, hey, I just want to let you know I have something similar to me i simply just go up to them like hey i just want to let you know i have i have something similar to that i'm not accusing you of anything right clearly i don't know you so this is i just want to let you know blah blah blah simple as that right because people can think of similar shit if there's one thing that we understand from looking at comments underneath instagram pictures is motherfuckers
Starting point is 01:17:04 say the same shit you look at any popular instagram account look at the comments that are under a pic it will be the the top comments will all be like similar they'll be like all the same general idea about the pic and then people like it and think it's kind of funny these things happen so how do you feel about remember when we went to Europe and they have like the Carlin guy and, you know. Well, that's different. That is purposely stealing. That's purposeful stealing.
Starting point is 01:17:33 What do you mean the Carlin guy? So in Europe, they didn't understand how to do comedy. So what they just did is they took Americans comedy and they just translated it to their language and then they would just do people's jokes. So there would be one guy who was the Carlin guy and another guy who was the Lenny Bruce guy and another guy that was this, and they would just do their bits.
Starting point is 01:17:52 For me, the differentiator, like I said, is credit. If everybody knows Taco Tuesday's LeBron's and somebody wants to sell T-shirts with it, if I'm LeBron, I'm like, oh, that's great, that's getting my shit out there more. Now, he probably feels different because he doesn't ever say anything that's useful to people. Nobody's
Starting point is 01:18:06 out here taking LeBron's words. Right. Yeah, but how would you feel about if there's, in China, the Akash guy? If everybody knows he's doing me, great. Now, what if they don't know? That's the difference. But everybody knows Taco Tuesday is LeBron. If you're selling a Taco Tuesday shirt, the only reason I'm buying it is to sell
Starting point is 01:18:22 LeBron. Yeah, but why would you feel a way if you can't perform the jokes in Chinese anyway? So it's not like you're missing out on any money. Because it's intent. If they see me, it's also intent. If they see me and they speak English, they're going to be going, oh, that guy just
Starting point is 01:18:37 Yeah, if they speak English. Back up from that. And I can't speak for you. All I'm saying is for me, it's intent. If you intend to steal my shit and profit on it that's wrong if you were literally just making the same observation about a bottle of water and then we happen to do that that's fine that's why that's the same thing for example like when i was given the patent example with the zipper it's like if you create a zipper in america and that's what you want to do and some guy in turkey wants to close his shirt so he makes a zipper device that kind kind of America shouldn't be able to, what is it called, sue that guy in Turkey.
Starting point is 01:19:10 But if you're a guy in America who worked at the zipper factory and then you go like, fuck this, I'm starting my own factory, you start making zippers the exact same formula. It's like, no, you stole. You intended to steal. formula it's like no you stole you intended to steal so then why don't you agree with trademarking words because lebron's work ethic his likeness the reason why taco tuesday's popular is because of all the work he's put in so now he made back up back up back up can i just finish this point so he made it to say it that way and so if somebody puts it on a shirt, Taco Tuesday long, they're profiting off of what he made popular. Let me ask you a question. How do Mexicans say Taco Tuesday?
Starting point is 01:19:52 Come on, son. Taco Tuesday. Like that. Taco Tuesday. No, you're being hysterical. I am or LeBron is? LeBron is. So what I'm trying to say is, has Taco Tuesday existed before LeBron?
Starting point is 01:20:08 Yes. Has a Mexican said Taco Tuesday out loud with their accent? Yes, but not the way LeBron said it. No, of course, because LeBron doesn't know how to do the accent well. Exactly. But his intent was to copy a Mexican saying some shit that has already been said that has already been marketed all around America, has already been marketed
Starting point is 01:20:30 all over the place. Also, it doesn't say I'm looking at the article to our point it says he's just filing to trademark the term Taco Tuesday. Not even the spelling. I didn't get more on board of his T-A-C-O-O and then I was thinking, I was like, maybe I would be annoyed especially if I'm LeBron and again I don't get more on board of his TA, COO and then I was thinking I was like maybe I would be annoyed if especially if I'm LeBron
Starting point is 01:20:45 and again I don't say shit people copy a bunch and now I did it and now I see motherfuckers making money off my shit I can see that being annoying. Just trademarking the term Taco Tuesday
Starting point is 01:20:54 son 100,000 Mexican restaurants in America have had Taco Tuesday before you. So that So fuck yourself if that's what you're trademarking. Your intent is to copy something
Starting point is 01:21:04 and then profit on it. That's your intent. Your intent. Now, if he invents like a crazy new phrase, watermelon Wednesday, and I'm not even saying that to be racial. I'm just saying. You know what I'm saying? So, whatever like that.
Starting point is 01:21:19 I'm doing soul food Saturdays and I'm trademarking. Soul food Saturday. I'm doing soul food Saturdays and that's mine. So, anybody wants to take it, we're having fried catfish. You can have it because we do soul food on Sundays. Imagine an Indian. Imagine an Indian was like, literally did like a stereotypical southern accent. Soul food Saturday.
Starting point is 01:21:38 I just dress up as the Popeye's lady. And then start trying to trademark it. Black people would go crazy. What the fuck are you doing? It's cultural appropriation. You can't do it. We've been in the soul food Saturday forever.
Starting point is 01:21:48 That's all I'm saying. It's just the intent. But it's so absurd he even thought he could do it. You have to live in a delusional reality. That's some real white shit to take something
Starting point is 01:21:57 from a minority who's more oppressed than you and then make money on it and trademark it so they can't make money on it. That's some shit y'all accuse white people of doing. Respect. Hey, bro shit y'all accuse white people of doing.
Starting point is 01:22:05 Respect. Hey, bro, y'all playing a game. Y'all finally understand. Y'all finally understand. Well, listen, while we talk about the NBA, I just want to let you know that this isn't a game, okay?
Starting point is 01:22:19 NBA 2K20, 2K20, not a game. This is a place where games come to learn with next level graphics and gameplay, groundbreaking game modes and unparalleled player control and customization. NBA 2K20 continues to redefine what's possible in sports gaming. NBA 2K20 is a platform for gamers and ballers to come together and create what's next in basketball culture. Whether you're showcasing your style and battling it out on the blacktop
Starting point is 01:22:49 in an active, vibrant, and immersive open world neighborhood, if you will, building your perfect fantasy roster in MyTeam, or balling out with your favorite team in Play Now mode. And for the first time ever, NBA 2K20 will feature all 12 wmba teams
Starting point is 01:23:08 complete with gameplay animations play styles and visuals built exclusively for the women's game no this isn't a game at all this is a place everything else follows pre--order NBA 2K20 featuring Anthony Davis and Dwayne Wade today. NBA 2K20. Welcome to what's next. And we back, baby. Akash is back. Son. Can we talk about how useless having them WNBA teams in there is?
Starting point is 01:23:43 Stop. No, I'm not. It's the ad. We got to talk. Listen, I'm still going to... Listen, people are going to get NBA 2K20. It's hot, dog. The game is fire. You build the whole team.
Starting point is 01:23:53 You start from scratch. You can play on the blacktop. You know what I mean? And you got the WNBA. It's like bonus features on a DVD back in the day. They didn't make the movie whack. Movie was dope. Makes it even better.
Starting point is 01:24:04 I don't need some of these bonus features. I don't need director commentary throughout the movie. They didn't make the movie whack. The movie was dope. Makes it even better. I just, you know, I don't need some of these bonus features. I don't need director commentary throughout the movie. Real talk. That's WNBA. Yo, y'all knew it was 12 teams? In the WNBA?
Starting point is 01:24:15 I had no clue. I thought it was more. I thought it was more. It's only 12 teams in the WNBA. You learn something new every single day. So each season is just the playoffs? Basically. 2016 makes the NBA playoffs.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Bro, this is wild. Okay, so WNBA, okay, they're in. So I don't understand. So like when girls, here's what I'm trying to understand. So like when girls are growing up, they still want to play like NBA players, right? Yeah. Yeah. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:50 Like I imagine you want to play like the best people that play regardless of gender, which happen to be NBA players, right? and this game is all about playing as the people that you dream to play like, why would you play WNBA mode? I predict this will be the least used feature in any video game. Yo, they got to. They got to. That's going to be great. I would love to see the analytics. They got to do the analytics of how many times people have played.
Starting point is 01:25:23 No, we should log on and try to play. You know how they have the international play? Not international, but global play. You can play against each other. Dude, we should log on. Logging on to that is going to be like chat roulette. You know when you thought you were going to get to
Starting point is 01:25:39 see some titties, but it's just dicks all the time? That's it. We log on. Try to play WNBA 2K. We just try to play WNBA 2K. I wonder if they're going to make the players better than they really are. I wonder how many players are going to be able to dunk.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Oh, there's a couple that can dunk. Listen, you make the NBA players better than they are. You're going to close the gap. Yes. Because if you made it too realistic, everybody would think it wasn't realistic. Right. You don't want to make it too realistic. Yeah. But like
Starting point is 01:26:11 even just the gameplay is just going to be boring. Like we played the NBA 2K joint so we could fucking dunk on people's heads. Imagine like a fast break. And you just do a layup. Yeah. Like there's usually a button that you can like do a trick dunk. That's what do a layup? Yeah. There's usually a button that you can do a trick dunk. I think they're gonna
Starting point is 01:26:27 be able to dunk a few of them. I bet they're gonna make them better than they are. Okay, so there's gonna be two or three that can dunk. I bet they're gonna make a lot of them able to dunk. And they're not gonna make it too ridiculous, but they're gonna make it... They're gonna close the gap. Whatever. We don't have to talk about it anymore. They should have them going up
Starting point is 01:26:43 for dunks and just fucking bricking. Sp yeah like that would be realistic um guys let me ask this question and it's just just it's just uh it's it's for latin women mostly why is it latin women any if there's any Latinas listening, why is it that when y'all get fat, you don't buy bigger jeans? Like, I'd never have understood this. Like, they just wear the same jeans, and then the fat just, like, kind of spills over the jeans. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:20 But why is that? And they'll wear the same belly shirts even if their belly's growing. Like, why is it? How are they so unaffected by their weight gain? Have you seen Latin men? They do the same shit? Or they just don't care? They don't care.
Starting point is 01:27:35 They fucking everything. So that's the thing. They just do not care. So Latin men have five wives. Really? Yeah. Maybe I'm exaggerating. Really? Yeah. Maybe I'm exaggerating.
Starting point is 01:27:46 At least two. At least two. They have the main wife here, and then they have the girlfriend back at home, and they'll just take care of two families. That's like a common thing they don't like to talk about. How do you know this? Because you have Puerto Rican? I just know, yeah, of the culture. We did a dropping in episode, and the guy was saying that to us.
Starting point is 01:28:04 He was like, yeah, you always have your family in DR and then your family here. That's wild to me, dog. It is wild. Maybe we've spoken about it on this podcast, but like if that's the case and everybody knows that's the case, why do the girls get so upset when they find a guy cheating? Because they just don't like to get embarrassed. So it's like, hey, we know what's happening. Just don't be sloppy with it.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Oh, so you just did it in front of everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to know. You piece of shit. I've heard that from women. I don't want to find out about it. I don't want to find out about it. I mean, that is some dickhead shit.
Starting point is 01:28:39 I used to date this Dominican girl, and her family was the side family. Oh. Yeah. Wow. So it was like the father rarely was around. He'd hit him off with money every once in a while, but definitely had a whole other family.
Starting point is 01:28:54 To make that girl happy, why would you ever break up with her? Yo, what is that? What does she go through? Nah, daddy issues, man. What does she go through emotionally? That's fucking crazy. Why do they want another family I don't understand that That's what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:29:08 That makes no sense Cheating I understand On a biological level I don't But the responsibility Of a whole other family Who was to blame You just said responsibility
Starting point is 01:29:17 Even Not like Even like paying money for it Like all that kind of shit Like just coming over You know Christmas Eve and shit Yeah but You know when you go to DR
Starting point is 01:29:30 You live like a king with $100 It's not that much more So they're just sending money over Yeah send a little money over Every once in a while You go over there Fuck them So it's like the starving kids
Starting point is 01:29:41 Where you just gotta give them a little bit $12 a month Yeah How much is it up to now? Bro little bit. $12 a month. Yeah. How much is it up to now? Bro, it's like $30 a month. A dollar a day. It used to be $0.10 a day. It used to be cents.
Starting point is 01:29:52 I know, bro. I know. These poor kids got greedy. They getting hungry. We gave them an appetite. They spoiled, dog. Spoiled, bro. That's why their stomach's so big.

The second the girl starts to complain about something, you just say. And that's why they always got the windows down in the cars
Starting point is 01:30:49 and they play with no headphones on the train. They're just trying to help everybody else out. Hey, in case your bitch is nagging you, here you go. Just listen to some Gasolina real quick. Drown this shit out. Damn, son. Oh, man. Yeah, man.

Starting point is 01:31:34 Dude. That's it. They really figured out life. They just accept that their girl's gonna be nagging about shit. That's where us whites and us blacks, we do not understand yet. We're all trying to figure out our women. We're trying to understand
Starting point is 01:31:50 why they're upset and get to the bottom of it. That's something us white and blacks say all the time. Alright, let's get to the bottom of this. Ain't no bottom. These bitches is empty. It's a pit. It's a bottomless pit. It's a black hole of complaints and nagging. That's it. That's a bottomless pit It's a black hole Of complaints and nagging
Starting point is 01:32:05 That's it That's all it is All you gotta do is But them Spanish understand it So they're like What was that? Suavemente Besame
Starting point is 01:32:17 I'm sorry All the songs They screaming They are screaming They screaming I'm sorry I can't hear you I'm at my other wife's house
Starting point is 01:32:23 Wow Bro that's the fucking they figured it out man they're happy all of them are happy holy shit so it's just let your girl complain yeah and the second your girl starts complaining you go to your other girl and then when she starts complaining you go back to your original girl and she's so happy to have you back she's not complaining for a little bit oh my god that's great maybe that's why they call it a seesaw because like i see i saw it's just describes the latino relationship i see you for a little bit you're an idiot you really are an idiot yeah baby
Starting point is 01:33:09 bro they gotta figure the fuck out man all right let's do another sports story we gotta do another one we out here having too much fun oh bro we really having too much fun out here motherfucker i know this shit gonna end as soon as we get home For y'all For y'all Oh why not for all three of us Fuck you Yo Can we just No
Starting point is 01:33:33 Alright Stop Sports You started it motherfucker Yo why did he start it I know You started it No misery loves company son
Starting point is 01:33:43 You can't be miserable with us Real talk You can't be miserable with us bro I'm. You can't be miserable with us, bro. But that's not alone. I'm happy. I'm going to Russia, baby. What about you? I'm going to Russia, all right?
Starting point is 01:33:53 Come back with another one, son. What the fuck is going to the source? He got serious. He got serious He got serious This motherfucker got serious We need Alex Cam, dog He went like this He went
Starting point is 01:34:11 You missed a sniff Might come back with a little wife or something I don't know That's your tesseract White ass countries Yo, but that's the thing about these Ruskies, these Russian chicks. They got some Asian in them.
Starting point is 01:34:29 Oh, so they a little docile? No. These bitches will salt you, bro. They don't play. But they got a little Asian in them, right? Because if you go like way east in Russia, they all Asian looking. So that little mixture
Starting point is 01:34:45 makes them extra pretty bro prettiest white women bro Russians prettiest white women do you know prettiest not well yeah do you know about like
Starting point is 01:34:56 the whole Russian wife thing why is that a big deal or why mail order brides yeah because there was no men yeah they all died in Chernobyl
Starting point is 01:35:04 son they died in World War 2 25 million all died in Chernobyl. So they were just shipping their women out? 25 million Russians died in World War II, majority men. So now you have this surplus of women in the culture. You have this crazy sexual revolution because bitches just needed dick. There was no dick to go around. So it was all these badass Russian bitches. No dudes to get them pregnant or fuck.
Starting point is 01:35:21 The dudes that were there were getting drunk on vodka and that shit because you're dealing with a horribly depressing time. So they're like, fuck it, we out, man. So when you order one, who's the money going to? Russian Iceberg Slim, dog. Real talk.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Who, her? No, I don't know. Maybe some pimp service. But on some real shit, maybe a little goes to her family or something. Who knows? But I think the rationale behind it is like yo my life sucks here i could definitely be in a shitty relationship yeah in america if i'm gonna be a shitty relationship here i might as well be a shitty relationship in phoenix
Starting point is 01:35:58 like that's the thing i think that's why they make the best mail order brides, whatever, is because their culture, this is not a negative thing to say, but their cultural verb or whatever is to suffer. I was talking to these guys about this, and this guy was like map the cultural codes of the world, and their verb is to suffer, right? And suffering, we look at it as a bad thing, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Starting point is 01:36:25 That's why he'll never beat them at war because when they're suffering, that's when they're most comfortable and they admire suffering. Like when you see like a, like a male ballerina or some shit in Russia, they think that's macho. They think that's like, there's, they honor that.
Starting point is 01:36:40 They're like, he's not some pussy. Like we look at him America. They're like the amount of suffering he must've gone through to get to that must have fucked to get to that yeah exactly you know what i mean so it's like they admire that shit any sort of that's why they have such great art that comes out of there you know ballet writing dostoevsky like all these people wrote about misery they wrote about suffering but there's this there's great art that comes from russia and that's where where vodka plays into the culture.
Starting point is 01:37:06 Because the vodka, like they actually have a lot of passion, but they're such cold people. But their passion is, the access point to that is vodka. And it's like, that's why it's so important to them. It's not about being drunk.
Starting point is 01:37:20 It's about connecting emotionally. We're going to be so blocked off and cut off from the world and from humanity and from community but this one thing allows us to open up for a little bit and let other people in and connect. That's why it's like apparently vodka is ubiquitous with everything.
Starting point is 01:37:36 You're on a walk in the forest, here's some vodka. We're going skiing, here's some vodka. It's everywhere. Apparently. We'll find out, but that's what I've been hearing. I'm stoked for as long as we don't die yeah I still think it's a set up we could die
Starting point is 01:37:48 yeah a couple people are nervous so we might die we might die alright let's do one more and then we gotta run up out of here send sends
Starting point is 01:37:55 let me tell you here's the stories I saw let me know which one catches you Rock to extend Eric Gordon Sean McCoy to the Chiefs the Pats released Demaryius Thomas. They're probably going to re-sign him. The Chargers
Starting point is 01:38:07 might trade Melvin Gordon. Or Pop has kind of anointed Donovan Mitchell the leader of Team USA. Yeah, what do you think about that? I don't know if it's because Donovan Mitchell's about to break out or if it's because Team USA sucks that much. Fam, we really suck. I mean, like...
Starting point is 01:38:23 It's bad, huh? the article i read was talking about how close they are and it's like if that's what we're banking on is their friends we're not the best i never heard a team describe the only positive thing you could write about yeah if the best thing you're talking about is the team's chemistry i promise you that's not the most talented team bro have you seen their handshakes bro these guys have some amazing hands they really like each other bro you gotta hear these inside jokes amazing handshakes. They really like each other. Bro, you got to hear these inside jokes. I mean, the way they're ribbing each other is they're flying from country to country to play in this basketball tournament.
Starting point is 01:38:51 I mean, it's unprecedented. It's unprecedented. Well, right now we're up against Czech Republic, 88 to 67. We supposed to. Yeah. They don't have any blacks. We're playing countries that have no blacks. Bro, we lost to Australia,ia dog they just got blacks they just got blacks right like we're not supposed to
Starting point is 01:39:14 lose to these european ass countries bro hell no like that's embarrassing that's sad our b squad is supposed to still beat these motherfuckers if we lose lose to the fucking, what are they called? Lithuania or any of that shit? Again, dog. Come on, dude. Spain? Come on, bro. No, this is embarrassment. We gotta go to war. No, we gotta go to war. If we lose, we gotta go to war.
Starting point is 01:39:38 With the country that beat us or just any country? Yo, at that point, we just gotta show off. We gotta let people know what the fuck time it is. You might be right. Watch they lose. That's probably why we went to Iraq that second time. Son.
Starting point is 01:39:50 It's like, yo, we got bronze? Now y'all got to get bombed. Who's the bronzest looking people? Because stay out of here. Stay fucking out of here. All right? Real talk. That might be the fucking problem, bro.
Starting point is 01:40:05 Bro, we lost in 2002. All of a sudden, 2003, we have war. Son, weapons of mass destruction. That Spanish national team. That's what that shit was. Manu, bro. That's on Manu. Oh, no, Argentina?
Starting point is 01:40:19 We lost Argentina? I think they got gold, but we lost it. Maybe we lost it. I don't know who we lost to, actually. Whatever. Point is, we can't lose. You know what? I'm not going to lie. If we do lose, Trump, but we lost it. Maybe we lost it. I don't know who we lost it to, actually. Whatever. Point is, we can't lose. You know what? I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 01:40:27 If we do lose, Trump is going to love it because he's going to be like, look who won't be invited to the White House. Oh, you thought you were going to boycott. Well, we boycott losers over here. Ain't no bronze in the White House. You're not getting these fresh Popeye's chicken sandwiches. Son, who's getting the Popeye's chicken sandwiches first? At the White House. Fam. Son getting these fresh Popeye's chicken sandwiches. Son, who's getting the Popeye's chicken sandwiches first? At the White House.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Fam. Son. That is going to be a show. Fam. Did we talk about it yet? Yeah, we did, we did. We didn't talk about the Popeye's chicken sandwich?
Starting point is 01:40:53 Have you tried it yet? No. I thought we talked about it here. Or maybe it was idiots. I don't know. I thought I had the finesse move, dog. I went to, you know, Jersey got all these rest stops.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Mm-hmm. I went to one of them. Stopped Popeye's. I was like, this is the finesse move. No fucking line. to, you know, Jersey got all these rest stops. I went to one of them, saw Popeye's. I was like, this is the finesse move. No fucking line. They don't even sell the chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Nope. It sold out everywhere. We drove by one yesterday that had it, but we didn't stop in. Yo, you know who's on it now, son? They have a sign that says we have chicken sandwiches
Starting point is 01:41:19 like Jordan's. Wow. You know who's on it now? Who? Them Asians How so? So Koreans make bomb fried chicken That's true
Starting point is 01:41:31 Bomb fried chicken That's true Like they do not play around I look for Alex to co-sign it I'm wrong? No Korean fried chicken is very good It's very well known
Starting point is 01:41:42 I'll go to K-Town just for the fried chicken They're good It's a bonding thing It's break dancing and and very well respected. I'll go to K-Town just for the fried chicken. They're good. That is. It's a bonding thing. It's break dancing and fried chicken. That's what y'all bond about. Facts.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Okay? Oh, shit. Koreans lined up. Lined up outside the Popeyes, son. Lined up. It's on another level now. Once it breaks away from just blacks and whites, bro, once all the minority groups are coming together to do it,

Starting point is 01:44:13 and then we gotta we gotta dip I still I read the stories that I had seen so let me know Alex also if you
Starting point is 01:44:21 if you don't mind checking one more time seeing if anything popped up we're doing this on Sunday so if any new yeah guys if we are I will say this okay
Starting point is 01:44:30 before we wrap this up I will say this I love y'all thank y'all so much for watching views from the cysts thank you so much for watching the crowd work special by the time this is out the crowd work special. By the time this is out, the crowd work special will be at around half a million views just on YouTube. We include Twitter, Instagram.
Starting point is 01:44:55 We're over a million. Damn. It's really fucking amazing, dog. No promo. No press release. No nothing. Literally just dropped it on YouTube and y'all shared it. This has been the most shared piece of my content in history by far.
Starting point is 01:45:12 I can't even tell you motherfuckers. It's on Instagram, sharing it, telling people on Twitter. It's like it was unbelievable to see. It was unbelievable. Alex got his flowers, man. Alex starting to get mentioned in the write-ups. That was pretty cool. What's up?
Starting point is 01:45:25 What did they call you? I don't know. Alex got his flowers, man. Alex starting to get mentioned in the write-ups. That was pretty cool. What's up, Alex, though? What'd they call you? I don't know. They called him something cool in a cool write-up in the Intero Bank. Check that shit out. But I really appreciate that, man. I think that we did something that was, you know, I think it was awesome for comedy. I think it proved something comedically, which is really just people want to laugh at themselves, and they can laugh at themselves.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Great sick joke on there. Thank you, man. I appreciate that, man. Shout out to my six. It was one of those things that I've always believed that you can make fun of somebody no matter what culture if you show them that you actually know a little about their culture. And it's like the corny jokes. I would rather you knowingly make fun of me than not knowingly be nice to me. Right.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Like this blanket, oh, I love your culture. You don't know anything about it. Shut up, phony fuck. Yeah. So it's like it's interesting. And I get a lot of comments like why is it that they're okay with you making fun of them or this, that, the other? And if you just look at the way the people that are from those cultures react they just they just appreciate it's not the same hack joke made about them 100 like how often do sick people have to
Starting point is 01:46:33 hear like muslim terrorist jokes and it's like dude we're not even muslim you're sick yeah you know so it's like the fact that someone can differentiate in and of itself they're like okay you're not just some fucking hack going for the easy Korean joke about breakdancing as opposed to just Chinese right exactly I'm not just like making making this big grass what is it uh what's it called generalization right um but it was just really cool it was just a really cool thing to see and see grow organically and truly organically grow because because we didn't hit the algorithm. And YouTube did a little sneaky shit. They were asking people to review their experience watching it. Really? And I think it's because they've never done this with any other video that we've had out.
Starting point is 01:47:13 But I think what happened is we had so many people going to it in such high viewing and such high like to dislike ratio. We got 1,000 to 1 like to dislike ratio. It was insane. I think that either YouTube, who's been eyeing me, is going, what's this guy doing? like to dislike ratio we got a thousand to one dislike to dislike ratio like it's insane i think that either youtube who's been eyeing me is going what's this guy doing what's what's going on over here like i think it's like some some uh shady shit some there's some shady shit they're like is this really fucked up but he's producing like can we get behind this with advertisers why are so many people going to this video and watching it all the way through like what the fuck is happening over here tell Tell us about your experience.
Starting point is 01:47:46 Because they need to be careful before they throw it into the algorithm. This right here is organic. It's not the algorithm. We experience a steady bump the whole time. When your shit gets into the algorithm, and Alex, you can attest to this, it explodes. It usually hits around like 100 and then explodes. Skyrocketing.
Starting point is 01:48:03 This was 10,000 an hour for hours on end until we got up to here. And it's still going. And that's literally because person by person, people are sharing this with their friends. Spreading like a disease, man. It's amazing to do this in spite of YouTube trying to hold us back. In spite of these different things and like it's just so fucking cool so thank you all so much and keep sharing it if you love it and you think it's uh important for comedy and you want to show people that people still have a sense of
Starting point is 01:48:35 humor keep putting that shit out um i got shadow banned by ig you did yeah oh sick yeah when did it happen because my all of i couldn't figure, well, they took down a video that wasn't offensive. They said it was bullying or something. I appealed. They immediately put it back up. Then all of a sudden. How do you appeal? It just says, as they took it down, they said, if you would like to appeal, do so here.
Starting point is 01:48:56 And I just said, this isn't offensive or something. Right. And then 20 minutes later, they're like, your appeal has been approved, upheld, whatever. The video's back online. But, you know, if you can look, I can look at my page, and it has the number of people who visit in the past seven days. It legitimately in the past week has dropped 75% or something like that. Like I was getting like no bullshit, like 30,000 people in the last seven days,
Starting point is 01:49:17 which for me at the time I had 15,000 followers. I was getting like a couple hundred followers a day. And every video was just getting shared and commented, whatever. Then all of a sudden it just stopped. I had 415,000 on one joke. And it's getting like 10, 15,000 a day. I'm like, oh, when it hits 500,000, I'll post about it, whatever. All of a sudden I went back and checked.
Starting point is 01:49:37 It's gotten like 400 views in the past week. And then my mom called me. She said, how come when I search on your name on Google, your Instagram doesn't pop up anymore? Because she foreign. But if you search my name on Google, your Instagram doesn't pop up anymore? Because she foreign. But if you search my name on Google, type in Akash Singh, Akash Singh website, Akash Singh Twitter, Akash Singh IMDB, Akash Singh famous birthdays, no Instagram. Yeah. So they basically, this is their way of like suppressing problematic people. And this is the hardest time.
Starting point is 01:50:02 You know, basically what happened with you is, yeah, yeah. So what happened with you is you got the initial buzz that a lot of people get when they put out clips, right? Like because the algorithm triggers momentum and you had all this momentum. So they're like, oh, my God, people must love this because it's all math, right? They're not people at this point, right? It's all math. And they're like, oh, people must love this stuff, so let's really push this content
Starting point is 01:50:26 because people love this content. So they push it out, et cetera. Then they push it out, and the great thing about pushing it out is you get new people. The problem with pushing it out is that some of those new people aren't familiar with the flagrancy.
Starting point is 01:50:39 Yeah. Right? So those new people complain. Those new people flag. Those new people say this is awful. Right. The AI that is Instagram starts going, oh, shit. Well, we shouldn't push this all the way out here to everybody because-
Starting point is 01:50:56 People are offended. And we want when anybody comes on our platform to have a lovely, happy experience, and we don't want anybody triggered, and we don't want any of the- Right. to have a lovely, happy experience and we don't want anybody triggered and we don't want any da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- for a little bit and then that will go away or they're just limiting your reach. Like none of my shit will ever hit the explore page and if it does it's very rarely. Right.
Starting point is 01:51:27 You were probably hitting explore immediately and now they're like yo back the fuck up. Right. So you just gotta grassroots it and it will happen. You'll have another video
Starting point is 01:51:33 go out there and plug away. I'm gonna keep putting up content assholes keep telling people. Yeah keep sharing it. Keep guys keep sharing it. If you like it tell people. Share with people.
Starting point is 01:51:42 It's very helpful. That's it. But um and that's the next goal really for us to be honest with you is to become too big to shadow. Right. Right? Like, you know, Rogan is too big to shadow.
Starting point is 01:51:52 You can't shadow him because if you do, the whole world goes, ooh, see? You're caught. Right. They can shadow them with impunity with us because people don't care enough. Yeah. Right? So it's like, but eventually if I can get to that level where I'm big enough, where if you do anything that is against policy to me,
Starting point is 01:52:12 it makes you look bad as a company, then we get freedom again. So this is the most trying time in our internet relationship. We are fighting to break through this time. And when we break through this time, then we enter the power brokers. We're one of the power brokers. And we dictate what is real news and we dictate what is real comedy. And we are one of the people that are involved in this discussion. And that's going to be the fight of our careers and the fight of our lives, realistically speaking.
Starting point is 01:52:40 Shit, I want to get shadowbanned. It's getting to the next level. No, you don't. It's like a badge of honor we need you not you know what I mean because we need some people that are available
Starting point is 01:52:48 to dictate like let's say I'm completely banned we need people to be able to see you and go yo what's up with Schultz and then you go this is what's happening
Starting point is 01:52:55 it does sound kind of cool because I was like yo am I not pushing the right buttons if I want to get shadowbanned but once you do you're like nobody's seeing this shit
Starting point is 01:53:02 nobody's seeing this shit anymore heartbreaking put all this work into a bit. You know what I mean? I put maybe my favorite bit up this week. And again, I got a mad comment. It's so funny. But it didn't pop at all.
Starting point is 01:53:13 And I was like, what's going on? That's the easiest way to tell if you're being suppressed. Like, if you look at comments. Like, whenever I look at people's videos, I look at comments. Because the views can be fake. Right? Like, there are people out there they're not fake views but they're like they're like you know there are some people out there
Starting point is 01:53:30 probably have like five million views on some video and they got 50 comments and it's like oh you were just put into a feed that a lot of people just scroll through and they're not like taking hit them it didn't touch anybody didn't touch a comment exactly but if you're getting tons of comments along with your views it's like oh no motherfuckers are watching your shit you know so it's don't worry
Starting point is 01:53:49 things are good we're gonna figure this shit out good things good things coming we got a bunch of shows coming up yo New York City

We got to make the money to fly you motherfuckers out there and fly you around Australia. That shit's expensive. Are we doing New Zealand? They're still asking.
