Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, BFF listeners, you can find us every Wednesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. All right, BFF's another episode. We're getting underway. We got Mike Malak. I pronounced that right? Malak. Malak.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Your last name, that J, just fucks with everything. Yeah, it is real. It fucks with everybody. I've been dealing with that since uh since t-ball since i was a little kid and they would call my name people been hacking that up since i was a since i was a kid but you nailed it yeah well i asked before because i i know i've always tried to incorporate the j and i know when i say it's like it's getting me nowhere so uh he's joining us brie is not out brie's gone. She was in West Virginia partying.
Starting point is 00:00:46 She's on her tour. Again, I think I'm the only guy in this room who's batting 100 on being here for every BFFs. But we've got Mike for the whole show, so we wait to get him in. And I see this shirt. Your style. Let's just start with that. How old are you? No, I like it.
Starting point is 00:01:03 How old are you? I'm 36 years old. And I dress like I'm 12. No, see, I think you're okay, and I'm older than you, and it gets into an area, though, where I do, like I have this ripped T-shirt company like I liked, and people are like, you can't wear it, you're too old. You get away with it. I like your style. I don't know what that is, but you're kind of like a Kanye,
Starting point is 00:01:23 Mike Malak, like morph. You wear big clothes. It's a streetwear thing. And it's also, to be completely honest, it's to hide the roles, man. I suck. All I do is eat. I don't have a strong adderall diet like some people. They're able to just burn off calories uh so so uh yeah man the baggy stuff is
Starting point is 00:01:49 not as much fashion as it is function and do you like the tight i say i like the tight neck too i notice like i'm a t-shirt tight neck guy so you can't have a not tight neck t-shirt it's just weird yeah i just don't like it called the naked neck when it when it punches up in the front yeah yeah that's just the worst. The dryer's just fucking it up. Josh, you probably could because you're in good shape. If you're young and in shape, you can have it. It shows pec muscles, but if you're in the mean mic,
Starting point is 00:02:13 you can't have it because it just shows the sag. So anyways, we have you on for, we'll go through the headlines, go through everything, get into a little bit about your life and all that, but let's get going. So the first headline we have here uh josh is a humanitarian josh's firm colossal and i feel like josh is very you guys are kind of similar in the like impulsive like world like these guys are just involved in a million different things i feel like you are too josh but your firm colossal is working to bring back the woolly mammoth and raise $15 million to do so.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I saw this headline and I had no idea you had anything to do with it. Yeah, yeah. So my fund, Animal Capital, we invested in it. What do you mean bringing back the woolly mammoth? Yeah, no. So it's with uh it's with like crisper gene editing so essentially um the number one geneticist if not number one like one of the top in the world um they are the people over at uh colossal working this out so essentially it's gonna be still like it's a woolly mammoth but
Starting point is 00:03:20 what they do is they take these genes from like asian elephants which are pretty much like exactly very very close uh to what a woolly mammoth is and then they have also genes from the woolly mammoth and they have this like artificial womb and they're able to uh actually bring woolly mammoths back i like how mike is just nodding his head like yeah that makes sense like that that makes like what's the fucking well my question is you know you're talking about a fund what what is the uh metric for success and what does the return on investment look like like how do you monetize is this code how do you how do you wait say that like what's the point like what what are you bring the woolly mammoth is back now what right it's i mean so it's there's multiple reasons one is for like climate change
Starting point is 00:04:07 when you're able to bring them back into different areas like the arctic tundra returning the woolly mammoth to the arctic tundra right that that's going to allow those uh uh ecosystems to revitalize and come back so it's it's one it's helping with climate change and it's it's what's next after this too right it's not just like jurassic park's, it's what's next after this too, right? Is this like Jurassic Park though? Or are you like, or is this just a little charity? It's like, this is charity. We're helping the environment or we're going to charge you tickets to go see something like literally Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:04:35 No, no, it's, it, it's, it is more of like bringing back the extinct animals, bringing back these ecosystems, helping with climate change. Like, and, and. That happens. That kind of shit happens me all the time yeah sometimes that sounds like a good point for me to ask this question well um isn't one of the biggest contributors to climate change methane gas produced by the farts of large livestock and my question is if you if you put woolly mammoths on the planet, won't they be producing farts of epic proportions that will contribute large amounts of methane gas and create a larger hole? Like, won't it work backwards against what you're saying it's going to do? I have no idea whether you're remotely.
Starting point is 00:05:17 This whole thing seems like an asset. It's livestock to that extent. That's more when you're talking about these massive slaughter farms with all these – right? It's like that's why we're struggling with like the methane from the farts of cows. So I mean when you're talking about these ecosystems that have nothing there right now and that's why they're not working, yeah, it's going to probably help a little more than a couple farts. Can I ask a real question? Like is this pure – are you – like what Mike said, Is this just purely you guys are trying to be a nice guy for these are these are rich people with too much money and they're just looking to give back? Or is there is this like when you say fund, I think you're trying to make money or is that not what's happening here?
Starting point is 00:05:56 No, no, no. I'm this this company can 100 percent be profitable. profitable i mean when you talk about the technology when you talk about um like it this is something this company is 10 years like almost uh above its time right so are you trying to flex so because i'm reading what this says scientists are deeply i can't believe we're still talking about this uh scientists are deeply skeptical so is this like you guys bring back the woolly mammoth and they're like look what we fucking did we have the science and then it becomes super valuable see that i get that i get being able to claim that you that you were a first mover first adopter in the space like genetic yeah that's gotta be that's gotta be big i didn't know if the direction may have possibly been over the long term to potentially weaponize them for military usage or jurassic park you gotta you gotta understand
Starting point is 00:06:45 too though with like the gene editing or like this can help with genetic disorders this can help this can help with dna fingerprinting this can help like the software behind that that you can license to other hospitals right like there's so much into it of course there's there's that side as well but um i mean the coolest part is like when I'm going to be walking around with my pet woolly mammoth. That's what I was going to say. I was going to leave it at this. If you guys bring back the woolly mammoth, I want to be like top 10 first in line to
Starting point is 00:07:14 pet it. No, I'm going to have like my own. All right. There's no way I'm not. Gruen FaceTimed me about this like three times last night. He's like, you need to get like Dave's reaction on this. I was like, you said exactly what I thought you would be. You'd be surprised.. He's like, you need to get Dave's reaction on this. I was like, you said exactly what I thought you would be. You'd be surprised.
Starting point is 00:07:27 But he's like, we need to get the CEO on. I literally – no, we're not getting the CEO on. I literally saw this and I didn't know anything. All right, let's move on. Last note for me, the Gruen angle changed the dynamic a little bit now. I don't know how I feel about any of it now. I don't know. I don't know. I feel about any of it now. I love it. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Go ahead. Anyways. Gruen, literally, there'd be like a select group of people who would totally get the commercial if he was just like the next Dosa Key most interesting man in the world. There wouldn't be a lot of people who would get it, but there would be a select group. He'd be like, of course. He easily could be that. He easily could be that.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Giant sharks or something. What would you bring back? I mean, they're not going to stop at Willamette. Well, it is Jurassic Park. I mean, that's really what it is. Yeah. All right. Let's move on.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Enough on that. Okay. Rowback. Pronounce rowback. Like row the boat. Rowback. Rowback active wear. I wear the stuff all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Very comfortable. Guys over at Rowback sending us some of their performances, polos, hoodies, and I love it. This one is fire. This performance hoodie. I mean, polo. Golf. Looks like you get golf. Takes away the sweat.

Starting point is 00:09:31 PLT. And so Silvana is the one who got actually invited to it. It was also the NFL opener. So the show was at 7. I was out by then. Not only that, though, people are in my mentions. This doesn't matter. If I'm not watching football at all times and I talk about anything other than football,
Starting point is 00:09:52 oh, you're gay, you don't like football. That 100%. The fashion show being on the opener, I got a lot of it. I like going to fashion shows. 20 minutes, I will say. So Silvana got invited, and we didn't get seats. And I'm not saying I'm like a super celeb, but we had no seats. And it was fucking tough.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And Food God, who I know really well, was sitting in the front row. I'm like, please don't let him see me. Please don't let him see me. Because he'll never let it down. But then they did step up and we ended up sitting front row. We're next to like a Victoria's Secret model, but it was a good fashion show. And then I just shut people up because Brady and Giselle do this shit all the time. I like fashion shows.
Starting point is 00:10:34 So we were out there. Me and Logan were in New York for Fashion Week. We were there for one night. My issue with going to cities like that around eventized weekends whether it's fashion week or grammy's weekend in la whatever it is is you basically get demoted about six levels and so no matter what you're used to doing john schwartz always sits me at tau in the right section no gg's here tonight weaver's here tonight we don't give a shit what you're used to right i'll tell you i did have a very very long night uh with miss alex cooper and she was on one dave she was on when i have some videos i'll send them to you she was going crazy uh she i don't
Starting point is 00:11:19 know you know what's going on with her but she was really tying it on and then we also and i want to deliver this properly, so I don't know if this is the show for it, but we had a run-in with Dylan Danis, man. We finally got a face-to-face with Dylan Danis. Oh, this is all the way back to the, yeah. So we're rewinding the clock here because we have Lana on BFFs. We're going to have to do like a dream sequence.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And Lana was in a video with Dylan Danis basically saying she wanted Logan to lose a fight, right? Was it Jake or Logan? I think Jake. It was Jake. We have a deal. Let's show the video that gets posted. I'm like completely in the dark. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Oh my God, no. Jake, Dylan's going to beat your ass, you fucking idiot. You wish. You know this is going to be great. But yeah, he's going to beat you. So it's Lana basically saying, Jake, you're an idiot. Dylan's going to beat your ass. So Dylan Danis is an MMA guy who wants to fight Jake Paul because he's making a ton of money.
Starting point is 00:12:26 They've had back and forth. They may fight one day. Lana comes in. She now. I didn't know who this guy was. That's a lie. But that's unrelated. He's obviously been.
Starting point is 00:12:39 That's whatever. I have really no opinion on that. But he's been an enemy of the camp, you know, for the long time. He wants to fight one of the Pauls. But he doesn't want to fight. He wants to talk about fighting. He wants to talk about fighting one of the Pauls. And, you know, so basically what happens, we ran into him at this party.
Starting point is 00:12:58 We were at Richie Akiva's house. I've been to a party at that house. It's like the nicest fucking house in the history of Manhattan. It's like you walk into a fucking, it's huge huge i didn't even know they had those in manhattan richie keane is a legend um and so we were at the house and alex was there there's a bunch of people there and uh we see dylan and him and logan immediately start you know uh chomping at each other and jawing it up and they end up, Logan's got his mind on other things. Obviously, it's four in the morning. It's fashion week.
Starting point is 00:13:29 He's doing other stuff. So he went away, and I took my opportunity. And I'll tell you why. Dennis is on crutches right now. If I'm going to confront an MMA fighter, it's going to be when they're on crutches, okay? Because, Dave, I don't like fighting any more than you do. I'm the last guy who wants to fight. I'm getting old. So he's on crutches okay because Dave I don't like fighting any more than you I'm the last guy who wants to fight I'm getting old so he's on crutches so I go up to him and I'm like listen man um you
Starting point is 00:13:51 know I've never said your name I I don't have an opinion on you I I know how you talk online but you've been saying some fucked up shit about me and like I'm just like curious kind of where now that we're in the same place like where you're at on we ended up in the other corner of the room jawing at each other and um we kept we kept going back to this argument and then we kind of ended in an amicable place and i somehow ended up on a fucking instagram story with the guy i don't know how that happened but it kind of happened right but the last thing i left them with was listen like the Internet wants to see you fight. No one doesn't want to see you fight. People are going to continue to talk about them negatively until you fight. He said, well, I want to fight Jake or Logan. And I said, Dylan, with all due respect, that's not going to fucking happen.
Starting point is 00:14:39 They don't want to fight you, unfortunately, because of your inactivity elevated to a place that you're not in. And so my final note to him, and like I said, it ended very amicably. He rolls around with a pretty serious crew, I'll be completely honest with you, of, you know, guys that also were trying to get involved. And I didn't want to get involved with him. But it ended amicably. And I said, listen, dude, like the Internet wants to see you fight. Take a fight. Take a fight. Take a fight.
Starting point is 00:15:06 It doesn't matter what fucking fight it is. Just take it. How long has it been since he fought? So I know Dylan, and he's always super nice, and I'd be like, yeah, I'm friendly with him. He's always wildly nice in person, but I will say he's got the longest inactive streak. I'd agree with what you said. He hasn't fought in forever ages like I didn't know who he was when he fought and I've known him for a long time but I've never
Starting point is 00:15:30 known him and I do know him and I think he's obviously marketing to the fight but he's he's always been super nice when I've met him in person 100% and so that and by the way that's how we ended up in the in the Instagram story because when I confronted him and when I said to him, like, listen, I keep seeing you. He's been like, I'll tell you what happened. There was a complex post or something that said, you run out of toilet paper. What's your next play?
Starting point is 00:15:57 And he said, I grabbed Mike Malak's book, The Fifth Vital. I like that. Good promo. Look at that. Nice promo. He plugged it in there. What I'm saying is it was unprovoked i never said any i never had anything to say so when i confronted him about it he said listen man here's the deal i'm in the same space as you are it's entertainment i said you know what that's a very honest answer that i respect i've got no issue
Starting point is 00:16:20 with you but i would love to see you take a fight and that was where that was where we kind of ended up i think he's injured. I think he's got a pretty bad injury to his knee. But from what I understand, he's a good grappler, and I would love to see him get back to it, and then maybe he could get to a place where he could fight one of these people. I would agree that he has morphed in my mind from MMA to entertainer, and obviously if you get a fight with the Pauls, it would be huge for him
Starting point is 00:16:44 because you get paid, and who knows how that would go but i agree with that and ironically when i was at that house that you just mentioned he's the one who invited me we saw him out he's like hey come with us to this house and it was like uh who the fuck was performing little yacht he was performing everybody everybody was there i mean i was me and Cooper had like an hour-long conversation in that time. I saw it. You know, when those events happen, it brings in everybody from the main cities. It brings in the Miami crowd, you know, Purple's there and Matt's there and all those guys.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It brings LA out. And so you end up in these places and everybody's together. Yeah, I was actually going to ask that on a side note side note because like i don't get invited to any of those didn't know the party's there didn't you didn't know you guys were in town uh i heard alex was walking i'm like are you walking she goes no i don't walk they walk i sit that's what she said like so you guys get invited that's a whole different world and i asked for you and josh because you're like well you know places i usually get treated well like a or something not as much when it's a list I kind of put both you guys I think are kind of close to
Starting point is 00:17:52 like you and the Logan crew I don't know how much bigger gets than that even with that other group and Josh the same with you guys the TikTok people the big ones kind of run it like you don't think you're in that category I mean listen lp's uh obviously a list you know and it's and it's wild to say that but you know after being with him now for five years i've seen him kind of go where where it was like okay we know who this kid is we know what he does and then he's taking fights against ksi and then he fought mayweather and and um you know i say that i say we get treated differently We had dinner with Schwartz that night and Chantel and Alec Monopoly and all those guys at Tau in the owner's booth. So, like, I say that.
Starting point is 00:18:31 But, yeah, when Logan comes into town, it's generally he's treated, I would say, pretty much there. But to an extent because that weekend Drake is in town. Yeah, right. Beaver's in town. Travis Scott. I mean, it's not like you're getting treated like shit, Drake is in town. Yeah, right. Bieber's in town. Travis Scott is in town. I mean, it's not like you're getting treated like shit, though. It's not like, yeah, yeah. It's just.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And what about you, Josh? Like, why didn't you, did you get invited to come out to this, Josh? I did. Yeah, I did get invited. I mean, I just, I didn't go out. Michael punched the wall, broke his fist. Got it. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:01 So I had to stay back, make sure he was doing all right but uh i i get what you're saying with like the the a-listers coming in because when you go to the it just people yeah people just kind of freak it like they they go crazy for it when it's drake and it makes sense it's drake right like my world it's like strange like that i have there's certain places like that fashion show we didn't have a seat and there's certain places like that fashion show, we didn't have a seat. And there's certain places, whatever I'm doing, it just doesn't work. And then there's other places, it doesn't matter who else is there. Like, if it's the right event, literally anybody could walk in, but my people are taking it. They like respect my side of things. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It depends on what it is, you know, like if it's a sporting event that has potentially has a, at the end of the day, everybody is out for their interest. You know what I'm saying? And it's going to be the best interest of, you know, the owner of Little Sister or Marquis or, you know, or any of the Tao establishments or any of the other establishments to take care of Justin Bieber, to take care of Hayley, to take care of, you know you know Gigi and them before other people just because they have such a high profile but um but yeah it was it was a wild weekend I think it was also just like a weekend of revival for New York City um it you know strangely fell on the anniversary uh the 20th anniversary of 9-11 obviously but you had the U.S. Open going on you had Fashion Week going on and this kind of return and revival of New York City which obviously got clobbered as a result of mismanagement and the pandemic in general so it was a pretty cool week
Starting point is 00:20:32 well that's good, it's humbling because like I said, I personally didn't get invited to anything not one thing, zero you sound a little you sound a little pissed off it's humbling, it keeps me grinding you're kind of like, why the fuck is Mike and Josh getting invited to this shit You sound a little pissed off, Dave. No, no, it's humbling. It keeps me grinding. Yeah. It keeps me grinding. You're kind of like, why the fuck is Mike and Josh getting invited to this shit?
Starting point is 00:20:51 No, it keeps me fucking nice and humble and grinding. I love it. But you're everywhere. People probably thought you were in Michigan because of your story. No, no, no. They just didn't invite. I mean, literally, we're at that fucking show just standing with no seats. Nobody knew you there? You know what happens? We went to that. Joe just standing like with no seats. Nobody knew you there at the, is that,
Starting point is 00:21:05 you know what happens? We went to that. None of the fashion people, the guy who owned the building where they did it, Gotham hall came up. He's like, I love you. Can't take a picture.
Starting point is 00:21:13 All the workers come up where like, if I wanted to do a Batman scene and like pull the rug from underneath, like I could do that. And all the fashion people would be like, what just happened? It's like, Oh, I turned the lights off,
Starting point is 00:21:23 but they don't know that. It's like, I'm in the shadows. would be like what just happened it's like oh i turn the lights off but they don't know that it's like i'm in the shadows also there's like there's other aspects to it too like you've spent your whole career um building a business and and and focusing on the financial aspects and the growth of that business for us we have the luxury of spending a lot of our time networking and building relationships in different cities and so when we we're in london right now and we uh we've been here for the past couple days and if i can even begin to tell you the things that we've experienced in the past couple days like we were at the first time we were here we're at annabelle probably the most exclusive uh private club in the entire world uh you know 200 million dollar picasso's on the wall unguarded like the
Starting point is 00:22:04 people that go there it's crazy right and then logan i don't ended up you know 200 million dollar picasso's on the wall unguarded like the people that go there it's crazy right and then logan i don't ended up you know meeting up with drake last night and everybody's in town for this was just here for this festival but a lot of that is because of the time that we spend curating and cultivating those relationships that don't always have financial gain but but they give you perks. On the other side. Yeah. And I didn't really give a fuck about those. And I still kind of don't.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Like I've developed them organically. In certain cities. Certain places. But it's like I never go out of the way. That's just not. You're not networking. You're not growing that Rolodex. No I'm not a huge network.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like it's happened organically. But almost every time it's like. I've never been like I want to meet that person. They've been like oh i'm interested in meeting dave so um next video i got kicked out of chipotle not totally true we can play the video what did you just call it chipotle not what it's called man i think that's going to be the theme of this video i guess somebody's going to tell me how I can't walk into Chipotle without a mask, but then you can sit down and eat without a mask. Figure that one out.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Figure that one out. Well, it sucked because we walked to get Chipotle, and I had a mask on me. Silvana didn't. They don't let you in without the mask, but once you're in, you can take the mask off. It's like, well, I'm not saying I'm pro-anti. It just makes no sense, period.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It's like, why do you need it if you can take the mask off it's like well i'm not saying i'm pro anti it just makes no sense period it's like what why why do you need it if you can take it off and eat inside with no mask so and then people got on me because i guess i don't pronounce it right brie is like convinced once you hit the age of 40 the spelling of chipotle turns into chipotle to be honest i'm looking at how it's spelled i still would would pronounce it Chipotle. You actually just looked at two different ways of spelling it, pronounced it Chipotle twice. How is it pronounced? Chipotle. I think I call it Chipotle. I also just don't even – I think like Dave said,
Starting point is 00:23:56 when you get to a certain age, you just don't care about that kind of shit anymore. It just doesn't matter. How is it pronounced? Chipotle. Chipotle. No, it's Chipotle. Chipotle. No, it's Chipotle. Chipotle, yeah. He's got me questioning.
Starting point is 00:24:09 With the mask thing, man, I think we've probably figured out by now there's just no rhyme or reason to any of it. It's nuts. I hate to say this, but I kind of just do what I'm told, man. If I go to the place and you've got to wear a mask, it's so much easier. It's just that you didn't have a mask. no i wasn't like trying to revolt i had one mask there were two people i gave the mask so she could go order and i couldn't go in i just waited it's like it makes no sense but i wasn't like doing some grand protest i didn't have a mask on right that's why um gruen speaking of has kicked off a raya after period after periodic review for membership renewal for not meeting engagement guidelines because not enough people are interested in oh
Starting point is 00:24:53 no is he still around josh is that actually and they can actually do that and not get sued they just they removed him because he didn't get enough people looking at his account? That can't be legal. That's messed up. That's demoralizing. What the fuck? If anybody's going to stick it to him, it's going to be good. That is...
Starting point is 00:25:18 We know that for a fact why he got kicked off. Yeah, we can't... I told him to come in here if he's still around, Josh. Because I saw him earlier. I said OMG. we can't what i told him to come in here if he's still around josh but because i saw him earlier but i said omg that's hilarious that can't be but he did that is why he got kicked off i think they just like reviewed his profile profile and we're just like this isn't well i mean let's be honest i love growing his profile may not be like ruin if you are on raya they're like supermodels and shit why what's with what's with Gruen and always messing around with these dating apps, bro? Well.
Starting point is 00:25:46 First, it's like he's like, we thought he was me on Tinder. Now it's Raya getting kicked off. I think he was you on Tinder. I think he was. We'll see if he comes in. Is it because he was me on Raya too now? Is that what this issue is?
Starting point is 00:26:01 Gruen's one of those people, man. I'll put it like this. You just got to meet the guy to understand What he's all about, you gotta give him a chance He's grown on me When I first met him, I told him to his face You're the most obnoxious human I've ever met in my life
Starting point is 00:26:12 And he just grew on me He continued to grow on me Gruen is the entire reason this podcast exists He's the one who connected Josh and I Little Huddy is getting his own Burger king meal that's fucking wild that is wild it literally says chase hudson on the meal he does not seem like he'd be aligned with burger king but what do i fucking know right well those fast these are dropping bags right now they gave uh i think they gave saweetia uh yeah it's ridiculous what
Starting point is 00:26:46 was the number i don't i don't know exactly what she got but but who and then so saweetie is that yeah saweetie or something like that i mean it's like it's like they're all doing the same thing like when after the travis scott burger meal happened and that just like went through the roof all these fast food companies are kind of doing the same thing even on like minor scales with just like social media influencers other artists they're yeah they're just what they're dropping bands on speaking of speaking of first times meeting meeting people by the way the you know the only i don't know if i've met you before josh but i think the first time we met was at 11 miami yep yep that's exactly where it was and i and i like that for us a lot that makes me happy yeah it does it makes me it gives
Starting point is 00:27:32 me a little warm and fuzzy feeling inside you know what i mean it's just like ah he was at the atm at the atm at uh at 11 getting ready yeah that's a that's a low place to be um uh austin mcbroom's brother is a fake. Austin McBroom's brother, Landon McBroom, who fought in TikTok, YouTube, fighting against Ben Azra, is being accused of faking his lavish lifestyle by taking pictures of Pinterest, Tumble, Twitter, and Google. This is so bad. This is just like...
Starting point is 00:27:57 So, like, he's literally just taking other people's pictures? Bro, look at the photos on, like, the note sheet. Do we have something we can put up kareem can you put up the photos this is brutal man oh yeah for mike yeah i got you it just went it's just like that's the noise i think of when i see this like why would you ever do this so this is from Pinterest, and then he posted it as a story. It's like, he didn't even scroll that far down. Like, at least scroll far down after you search something on Safari.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Come on, now it's going to be the first thing you can see. Tumblr Louie bag. Those guys have been just embroiled lately. That family's just been embroiled lately. They can't catch a break. I mean, that's not really catching their own hole they're digging their own hole yeah exactly self-inflicted maybe i maybe i phrased that incorrectly you're absolutely right uh the vmas a lot of shit went on i was watching this i mean i haven't watched vmas in forever the fashion bieber listen i'll b'll Bieber guy he looked like an idiot he he looked like uh
Starting point is 00:29:07 I don't even know what we look like the jeans he was wearing he looked I don't know I don't even know how to put it do we have the picture of this guy put him up it's a look the the suit jacket with the hoodie the pants are ridiculous oh oh wow yeah he almost looks like that one kanye west music video yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what i'm talking about yep yeah with low with low pump right you you know that outfit right there that's the one you want to wear the movie theater so you can bring your snacks in yeah you can bring a whole turkey dinner in with that ridiculous shit all the way through doja cat the lady with the chair on the head but the big news obviously was uh conor gregor and mgk getting a fight out of the clouds and as far as i understand and i don't know if either of you two have more
Starting point is 00:30:00 info from what i've gathered conor asked mgk for a picture and his security kind of like pushed him back and then connor threw a drink at him took a swing at him and that's how that went is that how you guys understand this went down i didn't even know this fucking happened really i saw it i saw it and uh, there's a drink thrown. Yeah. Um, my, my, my take on it is like this. I know, I know Colson pretty well.
Starting point is 00:30:31 And I know, uh, Connor's demeanor. That's NGK his first name. You're just getting like, he's just, he just wanted to let us know his first name level with the guy. He's right.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It's no fucking big deal. No, but he did. Right. It was like, it's like that thing with the girls that know diplo west west yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah anyways i know uh mr machine gun well enough i know his demeanor and i've seen connor's been spending a lot of time in la lately
Starting point is 00:30:58 and i know his demeanor and my guess would be not knowing the entirety of the situation is that this was 100% propelled by Conor. MGK is just not a drama starter. He's a really nice fucking dude, especially with Megan. He's super grounded and has like, dude, he never had to give me the level. He's always been so overly nice to me and cool to me that like i just cannot imagine that he would have unless there was some sort of like miscommunication my guess would be that it's con dude make no mistake connor's a he's a hothead bro he's ready to you know yeah i mean connor has perfected i mean the dude is walking with
Starting point is 00:31:43 a cane because it got beat up for like the he hasn't won a fight in a long ass time he still does this super badass routine but it's like he's you know i don't know where he's at right now his career he's definitely a hothead you hear all the stories and i've met mgk did a pizza review did one of our concerts super nice guy but you never know i mean you know you're 100 you have the – 100%. Anything could have happened. And also, like, I've been seeing – Conor's getting more and more creative with the proper 12 promotions with the whiskey. You think that was it?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah, I'm not even so sure he doesn't get into a fake beef so that he can launch a cup of proper 12 to promote it. Right. It's just going to be about knocking out somehow mgk or something to do with that where he has a shot shot drink called like the machine gun after this he just releases all right guys this podcast is sponsored by better help online therapy to promote mental health and well-being barstool sports is proud to announce they've added access to better help for all employees as a company-wide benefit better help is customized online therapy that offers video phone and even live chat sessions

Starting point is 00:33:18 That's B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P dot com slash B-F-F. The big news in New York was the Met Gala, which was yesterday. Were either of you two invited to that? No. I'm going to say no. Was Logan invited to it? Absolutely not. Why are you saying absolutely not?
Starting point is 00:33:37 You look who goes. Addison Rae, Dixie, Madison Beer, all at the Met Gala. That, by the way, way to me is the premiere of the premiere the premiere number one invite event there is I would say in the United States I agree but it but it's a certain um it's a certain brand safe pedigree of creator uh and and when I might absolutely not does it doesn't in any way indicate that he's not big enough or high profile or powerful enough to be invited it's just it's just he's just not that he brings along with him pre-packaged um uh suicide forest
Starting point is 00:34:19 no no well no i mean that's a part of it by the way i saw logan when we were at the fight his fight we were talking he's like man i was watching old stuff of you when you were doing that like inside edition video when they're like you realize offenses like man you were crazy it's like dude you're in a suicide forest like what are we what are we talking about here's like the spider-man meme like pointing at each other oh and they're all yeah pointing at each other but whether it's that or whether it's you know any you know any of the other stuff that he's either done or been painted as he just brings a little bit of a like a uh like a uh a package um what not super soft you know very really acceptable like everyone that was at that gala could be uh you know a disney star
Starting point is 00:35:07 a disney star or a huffington post contributor right you know what i'm saying that's how logan is anymore he smashes people's faces in he likes you know doing business plays and it's just not it's just not his he went in a different direction than that you know this this outfit though from my guy uh absolutely pop this is the guy what what is the i keep getting the name of the show dave he's he plays the they're the family that moves out that's a great show shits creek shits creek here's the guy from shits creek his outfit i mean how do you even what this i didn't even i didn't i didn't even see it. Show them. I mean, it's spectacular. Look at this outfit.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Wow. What is it? That's a... What is it? Exactly. Who knows? Looks kind of like maybe a butterfly. I mean, I don't even know how you get that shit made.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I would love to go to this and just... Like, I... Hand up. I make fun of the outfits shit made. I would love to go to this and just like I hand up. I make fun of the outfits. This I'd love to go. If I got an invite in the mail, I'd frame that shit be there so fast. And I was also I went super viral on a tweet because Alex or what's her name? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Yes. The AOC for short wore this dress tax the rich and people always jump into this but i tweeted it like and when i said tax the rich but first i'm gonna have the time of life parting with all of them at the most extravagant over the top part of the year that is essentially a celebration of richness which i agree with like it's a little hypocritical to wear a dress and then be at the most like a fabulous party of the year every single year everyone's waiting to see how much money you guys just fucking spent on those dresses and then it's tax the rich it literally is a celebration of richness and all the peanut gallery is like oh it's a charity event yo it's a charity event for the met gallery somebody it's this museum event. Yo, it's a charity event for the Met Gallery.
Starting point is 00:37:08 It's this museum from Anna Wintour in Vogue. Somebody sent me a quote, which I think is true. They have a Persian rug-like specialist who gets $300,000 a year. They haven't seen the rug. The rug is in storage. This isn't a kid's hospital with cancer. It's an art museum where they raise gazillions. Nobody's there for charity. They're there to schmooze say they were there bro it's a status level correct correct no it's the
Starting point is 00:37:32 elitist of the one i mean that was aoc you said yes that's her that's her game man that's her game she plays that game better than anybody and she's got that that ultra left crowd just eating out of her fucking hands dude you know what i'm saying but imagine imagine you know that's pretty much the most offensive thing she could have worn to that event with the people that she was with yeah i guess but it's like you you i mean they're all probably high-fiving this picture of rihanna rihanna i mean it's fucking funny man look at these i mean how do you even know there's rihanna. I mean, it's fucking funny, man. Look at Rihanna. I mean, how do you even know there's Rihanna?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Does she have to have a name tag? Wait, that one was Kim K. That's Kim K. Oh, wait. Rihanna's the bottom with. Oh, that's Kim up top? Yeah. Well, that's what I mean. How would you know that?
Starting point is 00:38:19 The little Donda look. Right. You could have told me that's Rihanna, and I'd be like, all right, because you can't see Dick. So that was the biggest. That outfit was the biggest question marker or thing that happened there. And I think everybody's, you know, like, big question about that is, are, because she's been doing this outfit, and it's like Josh said, it's a Donda luxury, it's a Kanye rip. Is she wearing this stuff because they're back together? I thought they were.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yeah. I was told they were. Is that the story? I was told they were by Google. So that's like I don't have inside info. I was told they were by Google. I don't think anyone really knows. But I'll tell you the two best dressed people in my eyes from the Met Gala. This is once again as someone who has absolutely no style or any kind of handle on what that world does.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I would say on the girl's side, think emma chamberlain crushed her her look and i would say on the guy's side it was uh maybe you maybe have a picture i know and on the guy's side i would say it was nija houston nija houston both of them looked incredible um so those those were my two votes for i don't know who either of them are um that makes sense no no do you think this was the best dress. I don't know who either of them are. That makes sense. Do you think this was the best dress, this woman here? Yeah, I just, Emma's Tyler. Wrong, wrong. You're incorrect.
Starting point is 00:39:33 She's a pretty woman. Maybe I'm biased because I know Emma's, she's a sweetheart. She's pretty. I'm not saying she's not pretty. And this guy. That's not a show. He's the best skateboarder in the world dave oh time out time out 20 20 you like all right that's fine but what you're you're like really buddies with this guy yeah so i so both of those were biased your buddies with both of them yeah yeah like and when
Starting point is 00:40:02 you say he's the best dress i'm like this, this guy, like, he's a great skateboarder. Those aren't connected. Yeah. I mean, because you say Sierra, my girl Sierra here, she's dripping. In the Russell Wilson. In the Seahawks? That's kind of hard. Wait, a skateboarder got invited to the Met?
Starting point is 00:40:19 What? Yeah, there were some questions about that. I mean, listen, Naja, you know, Olympics, I think it had to do with the fact that he was just in the Olympics, Olympic skateboarder. Did he win? Did he win gold? He had a rough time at the Olympics. So that's an L.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah, he didn't get gold. But Nija, I think Nija is doing a great job of bridging the gap between the sport and culture and, you, and people love him. So I think it was the Olympics. I think that was what got him invited to the Met Gala. How did he do in the Olympics? I think he's a good-looking dude, and he looked great. Fine.
Starting point is 00:40:53 But that didn't pop to me. Well, who were your – I don't know. I haven't seen them all. I just saw the ones on – I saw the weird ones that were, like, popping up. I mean, he's dressed normal but like classy you know i think candle did really well as well you know everybody always wants to talk about the the weird ones but what about russ it's on the it's on the screen if you want to look dave russell westbrook i like that look i think russell looks
Starting point is 00:41:21 good he looks i mean for him he wears weirder shit to each game. What does he have, a star on his head? Yeah, he had a new haircut. It was like dyed stars. Did you see what he had on the day before? No, I didn't. Yeah. Because his look previously was very similar to that.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah, so I mean, that's what he'll wear to like a game. So I'm used to seeing him in weird stuff like that. That's why his look is pretty tame for the actual event. Yeah, that's true. That's true. It seems like he goes a little bit harder on normal days and then toned it down for the Met Gala. You know what?
Starting point is 00:41:55 I kind of like that because you know everyone's going hard at the Met Gala, so it's like you almost look different by looking normal, if that makes sense. A little bait and switch. Uno reverse. Uno reverse. That's what we call it. and switch. Yeah. No reverse. No reverse. That's what we call it. All right. The military showed up.
Starting point is 00:42:09 What's this mean? That's the hit a lick. Tick tock trend. I don't know if Josh knows about this, but high school kids are like going around there. Yeah. So essentially there's this whole trend right now based on tick tock. And the trend is just stealing something from your school.
Starting point is 00:42:23 There's no, there's no other way to put it. You actually just go into your school and try to steal, like, the hardest item to get. So kids have been taking, like, the paper towel dispensers and still having them be working in their room. People have, like, I've seen videos of people taking, like, an entire sink. Like, the wall on the, like, just that like five sinks all connected just take that off the wall and try to like people are just bringing the shit home somehow that sounds like god that sounds like a felony i like larceny it kind of sounds a lot like theft it sounds like a senior
Starting point is 00:42:56 prank like that's just what like seniors in high school you do like one big prank before is there videos we don't watch or no do we just yeah we can we can watch the sync one i think we have it here about to hit the biggest lick of all it was a little beat like what who posts these like how you're just gonna get caught bro has like no one learned anything ever all right um videos to react to Sass was asked to roast Bryce Hall. No, there's just like a roast of Bryce Hall happening that I was recommended to be in. Now they just need to make sure that they open up their bags. No shit. Which it doesn't sound like they're going to. Don't play me.
Starting point is 00:43:40 They were like, we're not accepting fee. We're not accepting appearance fees right now. What? Don't try to McBroom me. No. I'm we're not accepting fee. We're not accepting appearance fees right now. What? Don't try to McBroom me. No. I'm not about to get McBroomed. But then they were like, oh, there's also like other comedians that we're talking to. And they named like two really big comedians.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And I'm like, so you're telling me that they're going. And not getting paid. And not getting paid. Is Sass actually roasting him or no? I can't believe little Sass. Is he actually doing that? Is Bryce Hall? No, I think that's just a bit.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I think it's just a son of a boy dead bit. I don't know. No, no, no. There's a roast. I think there's a roast happening. Oh, it's not a bit apparently. I don't know that I am as confused by the nonpayment as they are. But Bryce Hall, say what you want about him, commands a pretty large audience.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Yeah, 100 percent. Yeah. Would you say? And so if you are on a show roasting him and being posted on his socials and on the socials of other people there that seems like a that seems like a media victory yeah little sass if if i was asked to be part of bryce hall roast that is like a real roast how they used to do the ones on e yes i would say you don't have to pay the roaster that's probably a pretty good trade i would agree depends who it is there's levels but little sass 100 that's a good deal yeah i don't even i should take that he works for us he's kind of exploded people like him he's a tiktok guy that works for us super funny i mean that most
Starting point is 00:45:10 respectful i just did not yeah no maybe i'm out of the loop uh beach blonde hair i don't know what this is everyone's just bleached blonded. So people are just going blonde? Yeah. I guess so. Purple is for them. Harry really went for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:47 It looks like my eyes, I just squint when it transitioned to the blonde hair i wouldn't mind having harry back on he's a good guest um he's great addison ray's pizza outfit i don't know people are roasting her for what she wore to the pizza review addison my girl if I had the money you have the fame you have I would not be wearing this to New York Fashion Week nonetheless what the fuck and that's
Starting point is 00:46:13 and Morgan L. Fountain that's a great take you have there in your $9 sweatshirt from Walmart like really great fucking take I am so
Starting point is 00:46:21 sick of these motherfuckers on the Addison Rae hatred i can't take it it's honestly one of the ones that makes me the most upset and i i know she said it to you on the review that she's getting to a place where she's where she's taking it a little bit better um and i hope her stance as josh's i hope is and yours as well Dave it's just like I don't know who these people are I respect their I say it like this
Starting point is 00:46:51 I respect your right to have an opinion but you need to respect my right to not even hear it yeah I was going to say you got to respect my right to not give a fuck like dude why would addison fucking ray one of the biggest celebrities on the planet right now care what
Starting point is 00:47:11 morgan l fountain is saying into her speak to talk microphone and her frontward facing camera in her nine dollar walmart sweatshirt so i i agree i see it both ways though like and i i agree with everything you said and i i actually think addison's very good at like from what i've seen and when i met her like not taking it too personally i think some people do but it is a double-edged sword and i'm not saying this for her i'm saying for anybody in the public eye if you're putting yourself out there and you have become one of the biggest stars on the planet and you your life is a life that i think 99.9 of people be like i'll trade lives with you because your life is awesome there's gonna that this isn't new like it you can't then get mad at the vehicle that has propelled you to this then will also try to tear you down.
Starting point is 00:48:05 That's just how it works. That's always how it works. And I think, weirdly, I'm going to, like, she's a great philosopher or something, like Dixie or whatever said it, people root for you on the way up, and then once you get to a certain point, they want to tear you down. That's just how it goes. It's the name of the game, yeah. You have to deal with that a little bit.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah, it's very, very hard that they don't come together, and celebrities from the beginning of time have complained paparazzi internet makes a lot worse but yeah you're in the public eye that's your meal ticket so i thought she looked good and she wasn't wearing that just for pizza she wore it the whole fucking day so whatever i've been listening i've been like horrible you know times with with feedback on the internet and have used to get much more tangled up in it now i think i'm in a place now where logan told me uh you know i i i look at logan as obviously as a mentor and somebody who's been through everything a hundred times more and before me and he always told me that you'll get to a day where it just simply doesn't matter it just
Starting point is 00:49:01 doesn't affect you i think i just hit that maybe like a couple months ago or there's just really not anything you could say that could that could evoke any kind of reaction see i'm not like that but i don't i just get mad i've always gotten i don't take it personal i i my thing which i've gotten better is i get like revenge like I feel my blood pressure rising and like, okay, are we going to do this? Because I like, and then I just go so far over the top and that creates a lot of things. But I mean, we have a million slogans,
Starting point is 00:49:33 like the mud always wins. Like when you engage with me, I feel like you're in my world, which is a chaotic, like I have thick skin. It doesn't, you don't affect me. I'm not like, oh, I feel bad. I'm depressed. I'm like plotting like how do I ruin your life, which is not a great mentality.
Starting point is 00:49:50 But that's like where I go. It's like, okay, I'm going to like come back. So different strokes, different folks. Put their name on the bottle. Yeah, I was about to say. That's where it goes. That's what he's talking about when he's over at Top. It's that he has some fucking engraver going into a champagne bottle writing out someone's name
Starting point is 00:50:08 yeah and i don't and i move on quick it's like a battle i move on and then people leave i mean mike you followed us for like a long time you're a northeast guy so people really know barstool like i've calmed on that like and a lot of people have become more familiar with who we are. So let's just leave this guy on his corner of the internet and not engage. But it's something I've gotten better with. And as we've gotten better, I've had to get better. So those are all the headlines. We were talking about this before when we were at the fight. When did you buy this NFT?
Starting point is 00:50:43 The on one force that you bought so you bought a 125,000 NFT oh shit when did you buy that I bought it uh I believe it was two days before the Jake fight and so so just some context I've watched uh both Logan and Banks make, I don't even know what to call it, like not generational wealth, but put together quite a package off these NFTs, off simply crypto punks and apes and board apes right and so when these new projects started dropping and the floor started bumping on them and everybody started saying this is the next one this is the next one i didn't want to miss the boat again yep and so i bought i had already spent 27 000 on one the day before and then i dropped another 126 000 the next day the same day day that Logan dropped 600, no 630,000 on a, on a, on one, Aiden Ross dropped 305,000 on one, all on the same,
Starting point is 00:51:53 a new program is this, this new NFT, right? And two, three days go by and I'm sitting there and I'm looking at this thing. And I'm like, Two, three days go by and I'm sitting there and I'm looking at this thing and I'm like, if this goes to 250K or this goes to 500K, I'm pretty happy. Oh, great. I got a return on my investment. If it goes to zero, I'm going fucking ballistic, dude. I'm catching a fucking felony as a result of this. So
Starting point is 00:52:25 what they would call me is paper hands. About three days later, I went and I sold it for a very, very small profit and got the fuck out. What's it at now? Can you tell? So you can always tell what the floor of the project is at and that means what does it cost to buy the least expensive one because those are the ones that trade most often and so the day that i bought that specific one the cheapest ones were trading at seven eath you couldn't buy one for less than seven eath so roughly 20 to 25 000 dollars right right do you josh understand this like i i get lost on this like yeah yeah yeah i i mean i do yeah a little bit i mean i'm not going to pretend i'm a mastermind of nfts but i i get it and by the way i'm i'm a complete novice but i but i'm around people who
Starting point is 00:53:20 do truly understand the space but two two days after i bought it the floor had dropped to uh to two each which which could give you the feeling that your uh 30 each purchase or 50 purchase has has dwindled quite a bit so i i listed it a little bit i i listed it just above what i bought it for and somebody got it and i and i got out and, you know what? This isn't exactly the space for me. I love crypto. I'm a big believer in Ethereum. I'm a big believer in crypto as a future platform of currency. But NFTs, I think I'm just too much of a pussy for the space,
Starting point is 00:53:56 to be honest with you. I just know nothing about it. To be honest, it seems like something this would be like up Gruen's alley. I have no idea. I just have no idea. The floor is 1.52 now, so it's going down. It's right here. So then you made the right move.
Starting point is 00:54:10 And what I noticed is, so just one more quick lesson on it. The pricing structure around the NFTs is based on the rarity of the piece that you buy. the piece that you buy and so when i bought the 126 000 piece it was the 158th rarest out of 7 000 pieces two days later when i sold it i could have bought the 40th rarest piece for the same price so i could have jumped up i know i know it's all i know is we sold one f nft i made an ft of me doing a pizza review. It sold for $140,000. That's all we've fucking done. And I told the guy.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I actually reached out. There's a fucking guy in Taiwan. I was like, yo, why don't we sell this again and see if it's worth more? He's like, fine. I don't even know how to do it, though. But $140,000 for like, we just took a pizza. This is how crazy. We took a pizza review.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I'm like, to one of my tech guys, I'm like, NFT it. He NFT'd it. Someone bought it for 140 grand. That's fucking crazy. And it actually, good for Logan, good for banks. It pisses me off that I have to work like 20 years and they're just buying this shit. I don't even fucking, whatever. It is what it is. Remember Top Shots?
Starting point is 00:55:21 When NBA Top Shots were a thing? That's still hot as fuck. That was massive. It came back for a little bit like a month ago. And then when this boom was going on, when Mike bought his. But is Top Shots still a thing? Yeah, they make cards for the NBA season will be big for them. They do WNBA now too.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I'm just going through the notes. I think everybody knows this by now. Mike, obviously the third host of Impulsive. I'm looking at this picture when I was on Impulsive i had a great look going during like covid oh yeah i look better than than ever i need another like i don't want to say i want covid to hit but covid did me good i look fucking good in this picture um and then you got the night shift which is your own shit right that you do on your youtube channel yeah that's kind of what i'm focused on right now i mean i had a i had a Twitch channel as well for a while.
Starting point is 00:56:07 To be completely honest with you, I started to move away from the live space. I think I get carried away. I think the more time you spend in unfiltered settings, nowadays the space is just so scary because of just how big of pussies uh people are out there um and and so like i kind of shut down a lot of that more live stream stuff um and and really just focused on youtube and complete honesty like for any creator out there
Starting point is 00:56:40 and josh will test this obviously but like for any tiktoker out there for any instagram star or you know big user on it or twitch the the eventual hurdle for you will be are you going to make it on youtube or not and youtube is at the end of the day the big money player uh you know i'm gonna i'm gonna set myself up for life via the three years or four years that i spend on youtube doing exactly what i'm doing right now. And, you know, I think that every Internet creator, every good Internet creator should be trying to dig a hole there and get in and work and work YouTube still, because the sponsorship deals, the audience you can curate there is second to none. So how important for you is an interesting dynamic? important for you it's an interesting dynamic because when people think of you do they think of you individually do they think of you as you know logan's sidekick do they think of you as lana's boyfriend ex-boyfriend like where and how important is it and focus are you i guess as part
Starting point is 00:57:38 of this to craft like i get it break away not break, but I need to get my own lane where people think of me. They don't necessarily think of the other two in some sort of version. Is that important? Yeah. And I've attained it. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, like not without those two dramatically helping me, I owe a huge chunk of gratitude to both of them both unconditionally as as people and they've helped me dramatically and obviously you know me and logan i think me and logan will uh we're
Starting point is 00:58:11 doing international business right now and and this this this guy that's why how how how more fancy and like what we're doing i don't know international business okay i know sounds like james bond over here we're doing international business. Good. I saw something about like a private jet to like Madrid. That's why we're in London. But somebody said to us last night, basically like something along the lines of like, you guys really compliment each other really well and add a ton of value to each other. But I mean, those two helped me dramatically, but now my audience is secured you know uh pretty much uh
Starting point is 00:58:46 25 30 of my youtube audience or active youtube audience has read my book i sold you know 220,000 copies i would say probably the best selling uh book out of the creator industry unless you want to look at goggins as a creator but i don't think he's he's not a youtuber but i don't think anyone sold more books uh out of the youtube space than i have and i did without a publisher and and on so a lot of a lot of people have read the book and i think the audience now is for me you know that 220 that's crazy uh and last up that we can wrap this game right fuck marry kill yep all right we'll play this move on you know what my dream is the book you know what i want? And I want
Starting point is 00:59:26 to sell out, and he'd never give it to us apparently, Dolan, because he hates Barstool but I want to sell out, and this was a real thing, sell out Madison Square Garden for a one-time show and we had the name I'll do it, not at Madison Square Garden
Starting point is 00:59:41 because we can't get it, but it's just an evening of hate with Dave Portnoy. When I'm done and every single person I don't like that I've had to bite my tongue about because I don't want to create waves, just go at them full. Dave Portnoy, an evening of hate. I love it. I love it too. It has a ring to it.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Doesn't Dolan like to keep a pretty low profile? Are you sure that's something that he would go for? No, no, he won't give us the building. He does not like that. We sold Fire Dolan shirts like eight years ago or something. He's held a grudge ever since. Like Knicks fans didn't want him. That's so weird that you'd hold a grudge on that.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Strange. It is kind of strange because he's like the owner of the team. Like we're just a fan site. Like, I mean, people say things about owners all the time uh true true all right fuck marry kill here we go let's run it i'm excited for this oh god almighty oh lord i have i i never know where we're going with this stuff. Like, there has to be some connection. Names, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Lana Rhodes, Emily Willis, Tiana Trump. Like, there has to be a reason these are grouped together. You don't know the reason? No, I don't. I mean, not at all. I feel like Mike has something to tell us. Are they all porn stars? I see that.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I see that. They're all porn stars. Oh. Yeah, they're all porn stars. Let's stick with that. We'll stick with that. Do you know them all porn stars. Oh. Yeah, they're all porn stars. We'll stick with that. Do you know them all? Is there more than that to this? Who put this together? You?
Starting point is 01:01:13 Yeah. Mike's smiling like there's far more than that. Yeah, he's not letting us know everything. Okay, so yeah. Have you ever had someone that played this game that didn't answer? No. That can't happen.
Starting point is 01:01:27 It's never happened. And I don't know if you'd want to set the standard of being the first. Someone tell me what the fucking connection is. Yeah, I know. Like, what the fuck is going on? My suspicion is that he. So, I pretty, like, publicly used to hook up with Emily before me and Lana met. Wow, you're a porn star guy. porn star guy yeah yeah yeah you just love it when like other dudes are railing so that
Starting point is 01:01:55 that's just a total coincidence that you put her in there no i knew the emily thing and obviously lana but i'd put tiana in there because it fits the mold. Tiana, I'm not hooked up with. She's looked at as the – they call her the throat goat as the purveyor of the finest head on the internet. I know. I actually – that fashion show I went to, Tiana something was the girl. Taylor. Tiana Taylor. Tiana Taylor.
Starting point is 01:02:23 I thought it was Tiana trump i was saying that walking out like i think this girl's a porn star so much like really i'm like yeah we looked it up it's like no not at all all right so you go my guests get to go first here long story short on it though we when you we kind of infamously had riley reed on uh impulsive it was one of the shows that we did and uh it led you know us down this rabbit hole riley i think is the most connected to other porn stars porn star in the world she's got friends with all those girls and so uh yeah yeah i've i've gotten to meet uh a few of them for sure did anybody answer this no i was gonna we're still waiting we're still waiting for mike to answer i'll put it back on the screen i don't know i don't know i've never heard the name emily willis
Starting point is 01:03:10 i mean dude i'm i guess i'm listen i'm this i'm i'm fucked either way i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna get a text from all three of them i just want you to know that i'm gonna be going to be able to – That's all right. You're a team player. It's show business. It's show business. Yeah. It's entertainment.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Let's just base it off of relationship status. I mean, I had the closest relationship of the past decade with Amara or Lana, so I guess I would marry her. It would end in a fucking, some sort of tragic situation. But, you know, I guess let's roll the dice on that being the marriage. I would probably, I probably would, I probably would fuck Emily.
Starting point is 01:03:57 That means you got to kill. Do you know Tiana or something? I know Tiana and I also think that the thing is, is I know her the least out of the three of them. And so I think it would be easiest for me to commit that homicide. I think you answered that professionally, and I don't think anybody can get too mad at the way you answered that. I think that was the right answer. You're all going to text me in a three stack
Starting point is 01:04:25 like this and and some will be happier than others and i'll deal with it as i think that was a a well thought out professional only way you can answer that question next group no answer from josh oh oh um i'll go i mean i'm gonna i'm gonna kill lana just for my boy mike up there i feel it. It feels weird. It feels weird to say anything in front of him. So maybe if he wasn't here, maybe if he wasn't here, I'd marry her. But whatever. Anyways, and then I'll do –
Starting point is 01:04:53 Yeah, she's pregnant. I mean, you're getting a kid with the deal. Yeah, you got some baggage there too. All right, so then I'll go – Oh, wow. Now you're putting that in my head. All right, well, I already committed. Double homie.
Starting point is 01:05:04 So we're killing Lana. We'll get with Tina, I guess, and then marry the other one. I don't know him, so it's like. Yeah, I'm not a big kid guy. I like my freedom, so I'll do that as well. I'll marry Emily, fuck Tiana, and no offense, just the kid thing, unless the others have kids, so that would be my answer. Next up. Oh, God, just the kid thing. Unless the others have kids, so that would be my answer. Next up.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Oh, God, no. Okay, okay. Oh, God. Got to think about the homies now. The roommate slide. Yeah. I guess, you know. Do you know how Aiden and I first, like, crossed paths?
Starting point is 01:05:46 He, like... We were talking about him on this show. And he... Yeah. He went in. He had no idea who I was. And he started talking on, like, his stream. And he's blown up a million times, even more since then.
Starting point is 01:06:01 But he just had no clue who I was. And then people started filtering me out. Like, he's somebody just so you know and he started googling he's like okay we're done with this guy yeah it was awesome i remember he went on the show you had him on the show after yeah and then he had gotten a controversy like two seconds after our show ended like we're like nice meeting you and then he i forget what it was it was people saying he's oh it's the basketball player or something he got a huge controversy instantly
Starting point is 01:06:30 when we hung up yeah anyways he's oh he's always in a controversy and obviously for people that don't know the significance here is i live with all these people in this strange uh justin beaver's old house randomly some obviously the weirdest situation ever. I guess I'm going to, damn man. I keep, I keep falling back on killing the person that I have the least relationship with. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 01:06:55 Yeah. That makes all the sense of the world. Actually, I guess, I mean, I've been texting rice a lot lately. He hasn't, he was supposed to be streaming again.
Starting point is 01:07:03 We got it. We've got this deal and he hasn't been streaming and that's been affecting my relationship with the partners so i mean i'm you know no offense i love you rice but i'm gonna kill rice um business decision yeah yeah from a business standpoint uh from what i understand banks is packing fucking major heat oh Oh, wow. That's a good shout-out for him. Wow. Yeah, I'm going to just shout him out.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I mean, I've heard enough back. We've got Eskimos on and off. That's like a good homie move right there. You just kind of set him up. Big time. Oh, dude, he's got a fucking pipe, dude. So I guess I'm going to – well, I guess it probably makes the most sense to marry him. If it's going to be that good all the time i might as well keep him around right uh so i'll marry banks even though that once again it's just a fucking tragedy of epic proportion just get a therapist and a police escort on call
Starting point is 01:07:55 right now because he's a loose cannon uh and then aiden ross yeah i mean he i think that's good for just a quickie you know just right he's He's maybe a little more delicate than Banks, so it's like a one-time thing. Yeah, just kind of get it done with and move along. I'd probably go with Sam. I don't know any of these. I mean, I know Banks I've met a couple times. We're going to get him on this pod.
Starting point is 01:08:16 I know he's a Boston guy, so we'd probably click on that. I don't know Ricegum at all, and Aiden we have on things, so I'll go with the same, but I don't know much. A couple more. Okay. Karina Kompf, Alex Cooper, Olivia O'Brien. don't know rice gum at all and aiden we have on things so i'll go the same but i don't know much a couple more okay well karina kampf alice cooper olivia o'brien y'all at shit olivia's in the room next door i kind of do you see this b do you see this fucking b right now you see i do actually that's kind of what i did with the b why is she in the room aren't you in london who is? She's just with us. I don't
Starting point is 01:08:45 fucking know. She's next door. Who is she? She's a fucking pop star. Yeah, singer. She's just with you? No, she's not with me, but she's here. She's hanging out. The thing is,
Starting point is 01:09:00 there's no logical answers for you, Dave. We're doing international business. It's international business, Dave. it just makes sense man like there's nobody we're so casual like this girl is on this on this marry fuck kill it's not playing planned out like oh yeah she's in the back room all right get her just go get her we don't have trips so go get her yeah grab her we'll ask her what she's doing there. Jeez, you think she's doing international business too? Are you not like Josh remotely? Like, I don't, like, she's on this. What do you mean she's there?
Starting point is 01:09:33 They're in London. What are the odds of that? Am I missing something? The odds are about as slim as they could get, but honestly, nothing really surprises me, man. I just feel like anything can happen. Do you know who she is? Yeah, I know who she is. I've hung out with her before.
Starting point is 01:09:47 She used to come to Sway House sometimes. And she's a pop singer? What's she sing? She's got a popular TikTok song called well, it got viral on TikTok called Jocelyn. There's another one too that was really big.
Starting point is 01:10:01 What, she hooking up with Logan or something? What are we talking about? Empty. What? Hold on, she's just throwing some pants on. She's hanging out with him doing international business. International business. Makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:10:19 There's no logical answer. I don't even care if it's not a logical answer. The odds of her being on this unless there's a reason she's on there with him oh there's a reason there's gotta be a reason all right pull it pull it back up she was in bed so like don't mind don't mind her i'm not with the hat that hat fucks you're on bffs i don't know if you know what that is but we do this game like marry fuck kill and you're on it and mike's like yeah she know if you know what that is, but we do this game like marry, fuck, kill. And you're on it. And Mike's like, yeah, she's in the other room in London, which makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:10:50 But like, so what are you doing there? He's just like, where do you live? Okay. Where do you live, Olivia? I don't have all my travel. She lives in Los Angeles. She's a friend of ours, a longtime friend of ours. Why are you there?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Just hanging out? Are you just giving us like a stomach view? What is going on? Yeah, what is happening? Who else is there? Yeah, she said sex. Who else is there? So it's Mike, Olivia.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Dave, Dave, she's there for sex, she said. We figured it out. I'm here as a member of the Logang. What? I'm here as it's Mike, Olivia. Dave, Dave, she's there for sex, she said. We figured it out. What? I'm here as a member of the Logang. Logang. All right. So like you're fucking Logan?
Starting point is 01:11:32 Is that it? Yeah, sure. Okay. Fine. Sick. That's an answer at least. You guys wanted tea. There's a headline.
Starting point is 01:11:43 We're trying to get an answer. All right. But also, that's not new news. You know what i'm saying it's not like yeah she's written half of her catalog honestly it's news to me well how old are you now my usual like fan base so like i'm not sure that's a good how old do you think i am four four. That's kind of right. That's kind of right. I have so many reasons. I literally was taking it down. I was like, oh, this is a podcast. Also, I look like, okay.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Close the door. Why? All right. Yeah, why is that? This is. All right, so marry, fuck, kill. That was. Oh, do you want to watch it?
Starting point is 01:12:20 Okay, pull it up again. Yeah, she can come on. Yeah, I was going to say, you should have to actually decide who you're going to marry, fucking kill in front of her. Oh, she can answer it too. Well, she couldn't, like, fuck herself, I don't think. All right, so again, marry, fuck, kill, Karina Koff, Alex Cooper, Olivia O'Brien. I'm going to make this really easy. She's, like, right over your shoulder.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Yeah, I know. It's horror movie vibes right now. I'll make this really easy. At 3.30 a.m., at 4.15 a.m., at 5.30 a.m., and once again at 7 a.m. Stop for one second. What time is it there, by the way? It's 6 p.m. right now. She came into my room, woke me up every time. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:13:09 All fucked up. And then she went and told Logan that I had a girl in here, made up a whole story about it. I literally thought that he had a girl in here because he was trying to get me to leave because I was so drunk and annoying him. So is that like breaking news? Is that like, oh my God, Mike's got a girl? Wake everybody up. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah, right. Let's run around the house. Let's all celebrate and pop oh my God, Mike's got a girl? Wake everybody up? Holy shit. Yeah, right. Let's run around the house. Let's all celebrate and pop champagne. Finally, Mike's got another girl. But it's weird when I don't have one in bed and she's telling me. She's like, Mike's got this whore in his room. He's being mean to me. I'm like, Olivia, so long story short, she's dead.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Okay. So she's killed. Right. This isn't just like a murder. This is a passionate, targeted kill, bro. You're hunting. Okay. Now let's get to the exciting part.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Okay. I love you. I'm dead. Yeah, go back to bed. All right. God. So. Damn. god so damn the other two both have made so much money in the last six months they're both so fucking hot yep
Starting point is 01:14:18 and you know i'll fuck it fuck her in a mary alex dude that's just my answer that's what i'm mary alex corinna dude corinna is known to like be like one of like a great like that's a good lock dude like that's a good thing to do from what i understand she's she's great right alex seems like she's got her you know except for the other night like she has her head on straight she's focused on her business and she she's goal oriented and uh yeah so i'm marrying alex josh now have you we you had some back and forth current has anything progressed from that you're talking about me um i mean i i never i think we never really rescheduled the uh the the date or whatever got it so what's your answer yeah i mean i i guess i'll go uh
Starting point is 01:15:12 that's hard um i'm gonna say because because corinna tried corinna tried to like post our text and pull a smart on me, and then I just absolutely had to just fucking destroy her with my tweet back. But no, so I'm going to say kill Corinna, and then I'll do – I feel like I just know – I feel like I've just heard so many times, Dave, from you. You just couldn't – it's just impossible to marry Alex Cooper. Good luck with that. Alex Cooper is asexual to me. I like her now, but I don't even see her as necessarily a girl. I just see her as a human.
Starting point is 01:15:53 So I'm probably going to go one time with her, and then I guess I'll marry Olivia. She can sing. That's true, right? That's what I was thinking, lullabies. Yeah, so I can't kill Alex, but I can't marry her, She can sing. That's true, right? Like, that's what I was thinking. Lullabies. Yeah. So I can't kill Alex, but I can't marry her and I can't fuck her, but I can't kill her. So I don't know what I would do with her.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Like, I'm in the perfect. Maybe it's a it's a business marriage. No, we couldn't. Like a little tan. A lot of time together. Someone would die. We're at the perfect like thing so i don't even know how to answer this one to be totally honest because i can't i
Starting point is 01:16:30 she's in a category of none of the three i i need her i can't kill her i can't marry her i can't fuck her i have no answer for this one all right last one we have to do this because it's relevant nice you can kill me i don't feel bad i mean you'd have to do this because it's relevant. Nice. You can kill me. I don't feel bad. I mean, you'd have to kill me here, wouldn't you? I don't take offense. This one, this one is fucked.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Yeah, that's messed up. Just because I'm here. No, you'd have to kill me. You're in the Paul gang. Jake Paul, Logan Paul, Dave Portnoy. Yeah, I mean... You have no choice. What are you going to kill Logan? No, you're not going to kill Jake. So I'm going to marry Logan
Starting point is 01:17:18 because, I mean, let's be honest, we're basically married at this point anyway. We make shows together. We make content. Most importantly, we do international business together. Am I the only one who didn't know that those two were fucking? They act like, what are you, an idiot? Olivia.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Yeah, because they had this thing in the past and then it reinvigorates at certain points. Logan's a tricky guy. a tricky, tricky guy. So I'm going to marry Logan. I mean, I guess if you're just going to offer yourself. Yeah, no, I offer myself up there.
Starting point is 01:17:58 It's kind of a no brainer. It just makes things easier because you did that. I think if I were you i read i know you don't usually do that and i appreciate that i'll find a way to pay it back to you because i know you usually put people on the fucking spot well if you're gonna but if you're gonna sit your head in the guillotine for me i don't know how you're a lot closer with him than you are with me yeah i guess so i guess yeah maybe i guess i'll fuck jake and then find some sort of humane execution and i'm one of those guys I've been doing
Starting point is 01:18:26 this for so long I can't die you can't kill me I'm like a roach I'm an internet roach Dave don't worry about it I wouldn't kill you man I'd fuck your marriage don't worry about it no problem alright so I think that's that's the episode SBS thanks Mike and we'll be in touch soon
Starting point is 01:18:43 hell yeah I can't imagine how bad your guest shortage must have been to have to call me in. But I hope I did. You did a great job. And to be honest, I'm going to tell you, I talked to Kareem and Kareem can confirm this. I go, dude. And it's not because you're on the list that we want to ask. We just asked too late.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I'm like, dude, we ask our guests like the day before five hours. If someone did that to me it'd be like fuck you you motherfucker what like so exactly what you just said swear to god hand to god i said it to cream yesterday books they go how the fuck are we asking these people the night before like you think you're stupid they're gonna all think that so you just said what i said to him yesterday it's like these guys gotta be locked it's not that you're late on the list we don't ask we just think oh nobody has anything going around let's ask the night it's crazy apparently everyone just goes on the dff schedule yes thank you yeah all right i'll talk to you later thank you all right talk to you soon man
