All I'm gonna do is hit the drum All I'm gonna do is hit the drum Hello everybody, it's Monday, June 2nd and this is your Choppo. Joining Felix and I on today's program is the host of the Adam Friedland show. Adam Friedland, Adam, how's it going? Well, it's it's good to have you back GQ, a gentleman quarterly on the program. Yeah, okay. I Just saw stuff. I got a I got a real I mean, I assume every like group chat of every Comedian is just having a great time with those pictures. I thought I thought they were good. I thought it was a good profile.

Yeah, should be called Scoundrels quarterly, right? Just to kick things off on today's show, a little bit of news that caught my eye before before before logging on today, It is the the return of Biden spokes vampire Matt Miller. Did you see that this guy's cropped up back again in the news? The rapper? Yes. Yeah, Mac Miller. Miller. He did an interview with Sky News. And former Biden official Matthew Miller says Israel has without a doubt committed war crimes in Gaza.

Speaking to the Trump 100 podcast, Matthew Miller, who is a State Department spokesperson, was the face and voice of the US government's foreign policy under Mr. Biden, revealed disagreements and tensions and challenges within the former administration. He says it was without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes, that Israeli soldiers were not being held accountable, and that there were disagreements all along the way about how to handle policy, and that he would have wanted to have a better candidate than Mr. Biden for the 2024 election.

Now he sort of defends himself here by saying, quote, look, one of the things about being a spokesperson is you're not a spokesperson for yourself. You're a spokesperson for the president, the administration, and you espouse the positions of the administration. And when you're not in the administration, you just give your own, you can just give your own opinions. So I think it's safe to say he has been fully exonerated and he was just simply doing his job. Yeah, I mean it is very revealing because it's like for the people that, you know, I didn't know he had come back to life, Mac Miller, and

descended to this position. For the people that Mac Miller knows, like this is exonerating. Like of course, yeah. Brandon. Yeah, you, if you're working for Brandon, yeah. Of course you would say all these things that you know aren't true. Like I'm just doing my job is completely exculpatory for them. And I wonder like what's his current job?

You know, like, I mean, is what he's saying on this podcast a reflection of their priorities or what? Or is this his point of view? It's hard to figure it out. He's actually streaming on Kik now. Yeah. He's a gambling streamer. He has a stake deal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has a steak deal and he also runs the gimmick account, Asian People Wildest Moments. It is good. But he co-runs it with the libs of TikTok, I thought. Well, yeah, no, they're the same management. Don't we all? Yeah, I mean, we're all under the same management.

She's with Chochescu's guy, right?? Yeah Chochestus guy who founded the account Filipinos going savage No, that was Wardell Yeah, when I said Brandon, I realized you thought I meant Joe Brandon, but I meant Well speaking of speaking of rappers this is actually a good segue to another sort of quick hit that I saw before coming on the show today. This is one of my favorite genres of story where former members of the mafia weigh in on issues of morality. This is the headline from WorldStar.com, one of my favorite news sources. Ex-mafioso Sammy the Bull says that Diddy needs to have his brains blown out, calls his freak offs pure evil and says he would be

killed if he were in the mafia. I just, I just love a guy who like killed people for money weighing in on whether someone else is pure evil or not. Yeah. Sammy the Bull killed like 30 people, right? Yeah. I mean, I do. What publication is this for?

Sorry, I didn't hear. A world star. OK, I was about to say, I was about to say, like, why is Financial Times asking Sammy the Bull? What do you think? You know? But again, it makes sense that, I mean, you watch like BLAAD TV and all those channels.

Oh yeah, yeah, of course. All the interviews that aren't with like, Boozy, it's just interviewing like, mafia turncoats. And I get that's like, they're always, that's like the only, those are the only people that will always pick up when they're like, hey, I'm revealing more mob secrets, or here's what I think about Diddy.

Yeah, I kind of had to put on the dress when I took those pictures, so I kind of understand a little bit what they must have been going through at the freak-offs. But, and this is like, obviously, Diddy's legal woes have led people to speculate that Donald Trump may pardon him because, you know, like, they were good friends, wasn't did he on the

apprentice? Trump did say I might pardon him. Why not? Why the hell not at this point? But this is a this is sort of like, like, like Trump, coming up this week, he also pardoned, what is it the GD guy, Larry Hoover? He commuted Larry Hoover's sentence. Oh, for Kanye? Commuted his sentence.

Oh, maybe, maybe. Well, Kanye had that concert for him. Yeah, him and Drake. And we all made fun of him at the time, because we were like, oh. Not me, I took it seriously. I mean, you were right. Well, all of us, we were,

me and the other members of the BD street gang. Oh, in the wild hundreds. Yeah, I was over there watching, and we were like, what is this gonna do to free Larry Hoover, what an idiot. It was like a Chicago murders, you, Tim Pool, the BDs. Yeah, it was like all the people.

The rest of the Chicago crew. Yeah, me and all the other people who knew Vaughn, me and Tim Pool, the only white boys in the building. And we were like, Larry Hoover isn't getting out from this, but look, look what happened. And through Trump, all things are possible. But he also commuted some federal gun charge for an NBA young boy.

Yeah, which raises, I mean, he might pardon Little Dirk for the least careful murder for hire scheme ever. I mean, why not? Wait, remind me again? What a little dirt do like he hired someone to kill someone and like did it all over text messages or yeah He like took out a billboard like are you a professional assassin? Yeah, he he yeah, he like but he set up these like interstate murder for hires and was like No, even attempted a code.

It was like, Hey, did you shoot that guy that I paid you for social security? Yeah. You had no trouble getting the gun, the guns in California where I sent you. Right. But I mean, like, why, like who cares? Why not? I really don't care about, I mean, he's cool. It's cool.

I love, I'm a hip hop head. So as Felix, I mean, he respects cool. It's cool. I love, I'm a hip hop head. So is Felix. I mean, he respects the culture. He's good for the culture. Is it? Yeah. Honestly, like speaking of World Star, that is kind of how I follow public sentiment. Like it's through the World Star videos.

I knew that Kamala was cooked from the comments on World Star Instagram. Yeah. I knew she was done. from the comments on World Star Instagram. Yeah, I knew she was done. And then also the Kanye, like with the anti-Semitism, people were like, he's an artist, let him speak his truth. And then when the cousin thing dropped, people were like, I can't with Kanye no more.

So that's kind of how I track. It's kind of my like, yeah, my Frank Luntz kind of system. No, it's a pretty good system, honestly. A little dirt, just some background on this case. So you know the Oblok murder case, the Oblok Rico? Like the back of my hand. Well, okay, you know that shooting that happened in 2020 in Chicago, and it was a big deal

because it happened on the gold coast, which is like, it's sort of like the upper East side. Yeah. The Oprah part. Yeah. So they found out that like, Oh block, which is like King bond was a part of little derp. Wasn't he didn't grow up there, but he was like affiliated with those guys.

And the speculation was that like for years that he like supplied guns to these guys and shit. People would say like, I don't know how he hasn't been indicted yet. But around that time when all these guys he knew and like, you know, people had speculated about were getting federal sentences. He was like, I'm a Muslim now. I think I'm going to get my degree actually now. And it was like the most- Degree in Muslim? No, degree in high school.

Which is a prerequisite to get your Muslim degree. Get on him. I mean, it seemed like it was- Five pillars, geometry, biology, AP history. It was like he was doing the stuff you do in prison like before, like it's a vaccine. Right, right. I saw it.

Did you see that video of King Von being like, I'm gay, I'm gay. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you be in protective custody? Yeah, if you tell them you're gay, you get to go into the gay part of the prison. Which is, I would do even before I got to prison. It seemed so mean in there and scary.

Yeah. Yeah, it definitely does. He was like laughing while he was saying it. Is this making the episode? The hip hop corner? I love it actually. I saw some commentary on this by people who had been to County, Cook County jail. Rob Blokoyevich. No, he was inevich. Common.

No, he was in federal. Common. Possibly common, yeah. They were like, this is a good, like if your op is in PC, you should do this. Oh, to get the guy in the gay world. Yeah, yeah. Like how do they determine if you're gay or not?

You just have to say your word for it? You just have to say it? Yeah, I mean, it's not like the Turkish military where you have to take a video. Yeah. I've always said I would just, if I was being beaten up and used as a fleshlight, I would tattle.

I mean, I don't understand why that's not like a more common thing. I know a lot of guys do tattle, but then you're just like, you're still in prison. Yeah, so there has to be something in the rules against using me as a fleshlight. I mean, there is, but they're just like, they're not like very good at protecting those guys.

Oh, you don't know me. I would tattle all the way to the warden. I was thinking the other day about like, what if my aunt was a hostage on October 7th and literally October 8th, it would have been over the war. She's that annoying. It's funny also, they did send back the old ladies first. And can you like, I mean, sorry, I don't know.

Listen, I don't want to, you know, Hamas is not funny to me. Okay. I've said this plenty of times, but sending back the old Jewish ladies first, so they must've been like being so annoying when they were hanging. Did you see that video where like the Kasam fighters are like taking pictures of that old lady? Like they seem like, yeah, they gave her a Xan. She was barred out.

It was sick. She was like, you guys are great boys. She was like, yeah, she was taking the sticks. I've said this before, but I want to make a movie about like just Ohio state, kind of a Felix kind of guy that those kinds of guys he likes that like hears that you get pussy and it's free if you go on birthright. So he lies and then he gets, he goes to the burning man next to the Warsaw ghetto thing. And then they, and then he gets he goes the Burning Man next to the Warsaw Ghetto thing And then they and then he gets kidnapped by Hamas. He's like, yo, I'm just here to get I heard

I'm not even Jewish. I don't even like the music I don't be a good movie and then so then how much yeah Hamas is like, okay, we need you to be double agent for us He's like, of course, dude, I don't even like Jewish people. He sends them then the Israelis intercept him. They're like, we need you to be a double agent for us. Oh, they said back to me. He's like, dude, can I just fucking go, dude? I would like I didn't even vote. I was just trying to get pussy for free from Sheldon Adelson. This is so annoying, dude. I'd like it.

Yeah. So they sent him back and then kind of in an if star way, like, yeah, he accidentally solves the, you know, but it would never get made in this current climate. It's my big idea for a movie. Yeah, I get laughed out of meetings. They won't even let me take the Fiji water. Listen, sir, I'm the millennial John Stewart. Oh my god. I didn't even say that. I have higher aspirations than John

Stewart. I want to be the millennial fucking, you know. Larry King. No, like Bill Marr maybe. Bill Marr? Yeah. You fool. Did you guys see the Club Random is shutting down? Yeah. Well I mean talk about things like not being appreciated in their time. Yeah. No. Yeah. Because of what the woke? I just think like, I mean, I think they're like overexpanded. I think there were too many club random podcast. I love him so much.

I can't. I need I need to chill with Felix. You're going to say no, but we have to chill with him. No, no, I agree. Like I know you're going to bail. I know you're going to bail out the last second. I'm going to be I'm going to be out of freak off with Bill. I'm going to be like, here's the address. And then Felix doesn't show up all night. That's never happened.

And I'm going to they're going to put the dress on me. You're going to abandon. I don't I don't be wearing the dress. And it's going to be me and uncle Phil from what's it? What's it called Carl Winslow Carl Winslow from Family Matters? Val Johnson, I don't know Bill would put the dress on I think they would know it They would tell him like you have to like put the dress up the next up and coming He's the most powerful man in Hollywood. No, no He would be like I think the brothers have been through enough

Haven't rather has been through and the brothers have been through enough Apparently is crying about if their ass looks apparently he has biggest penis of all time. That's not surprising Which is so awesome. It's so awesome to think about him having that in his pants and just be like no You peasant of course no babies have died in Gaza. You fool. Did you guys see Jake Tapper on Real Time with Bill Maher over the weekend? I'm trying to get him so bad for the show. Yeah, well, I mean, like, it's weird. I sort of feel like everyone got the same talking points about Gaza,

because like not in terms of policy, but in terms of public opinion, there does seem to be like sort of a crack up in the glacier here with like, you know, some governments and and people who are like being like, it kind of seems like they're doing the G word. But Jake Tapper's statement is that What's the G word? What are you talking about? Who? Hamas?

What are you talking about? Well, I can't even follow. You're speaking code. So Tapper said it's G? No, no. Tapper did not say it's G. He was saying it's the opposite. And he said that...

He's Z. He went Z. What if you let him finish what he's telling you? I'm just having... I'm goofing as if I've never heard of the war. Will's trying to tell you and you're like, wait, who's Jake Tapper? I was 10 minutes late and you didn't even know. I'm just having...

I'm goofing as if I've never heard of the war. Will's trying to tell you and you're like, wait, who's Jake Tapper? I was 10 minutes late and you didn't even know. I'm goofing as if I've never heard of the war. Will's trying to tell you and you're like, wait, who's Jake Tapper? I was 10 minutes late and you didn't even know. I'm goofing as if I've never heard of the war. I'm goofing as well as a little ride it. No, or will try to tell you and you're like, wait, you think I was 10 minutes late, I was 10 minutes late and you didn't allow me to get water. You're basically Jeff Bezos. I'm basically an Amazon facility.

Walk in your apartment. I was in stop these worlds. I'm at the studio right now of where where I work and I live. Thank you. I won that argument. Will, go ahead. What's what's going on in Israel right now? Sorry. I'm being a dickhead.

All right. I'm moving on to the next story. I'm moving on to the next story. No, no. What did Tapper say? Tapper just said, he was like, the problem is that everyone sees Israel palette or like college students. The problem with them is that they see Israel, Palestine in this, like enforced dichotomy between oppressor and oppressed. I can't. And that's why it makes them so agitated about this,

because they see Israel as oppressors and Palestinians as the oppressed. And like the talking point goes, like this is sort of like a Marxist dialectic way of looking at the world. And like you have to divide everyone into the oppressor and the oppressed. And that means you can kill the oppressor. It's true. Like, like, I don't know, I mean, Nicole Brown Simpson as someone who's been stabbed to death. But right, in fact, that's a Marxist dialectical.

If you read theory, in fact, OJ Simpson is the one oppressed by his wife hanging out with a waiter. Well, I mean, I don't know what the argument like is it implying like that there isn't oppression going on there or the oppression only goes one way and it's Palestinians who are pressing Israel. Oh, it's like a replay of that. Like, remember when before they settled on like DEI, how they're really they talked about like critical race theory all the time.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. True. Yeah. It's sort of like a replay of that, where it's like, oh, it's just like fucked up a view of the world where like some people are oppressors and some people aren't. Which, I mean, it seems to like fly in the face of how they talk about things. I mean, they're saying that also you'll be killed if you're a Jewish college student at Columbia.

So is that like oppressor effort? Like what? What is it? Yeah, I mean, like is the argument that there is no oppression going on in the occupied territories or just that we shouldn't care about it? I think it's one of those things. It's a mix of we shouldn't care about it and like, oh, really, you learned the history. They always extend the time of the conflict. You're learning

the history of a 10,000 year old conflict from a TikTok. That's the best one they do. And breaking it down into oppressors and oppressors. Yeah. This is so old. You have no idea. You have to learn. They didn't just arrive at the end of the 19th century. No, no, this is this has been happening for 50,000 years. There were dinosaurs that were passed. Yeah. Well, Marco Rubio said, predates humanity. There were chimps fighting over this. There were Jewish. Marco Rubio said this week that that America wouldn't exist without Israel. Marco Rubio said that. Yeah, he did. Oh my God,

Felix, we're fucked. Felix, I still think about that conversation we had about they're gonna take white away from us and it's all Will's fault. And I know that I'm sucking up to you now to get back in your good graces because I cut Will off on his story, but we're gonna lose white

and we're gonna be literally like old men We're gonna have to learn how to not be white. It's stink. I mean, well by then it won't matter For us, but of course it'll matter Maybe I don't know. I've dreamed of not being white now Yeah, yeah, I mean it's one of those things where it's like why wasn't this happening when I was in middle school Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things where it's like, why wasn't this happening when I was in middle school? Yeah, we could have been in freestyle club. Yeah. Oh my God.

We could have been doing. Yeah, we could have been battling with Eli. The different world. I don't know. I think that like European anti-Semitism is too. It's like too. There's too much like reading for Americans. But I do think that like there is some effect when like,

like the official message of this government is like, the government shouldn't help you do anything. It's funny when people die in plane crashes. If you're on social security, go fuck yourself. We don't owe you anything. But also if a Jew ever feels like kind of nervous, we have to send in the FBI. If you're a guy in North Dakota, like a 19-year-old in North Dakota, and you see that, what do you think? If you're watching Marco Rubio say, America wouldn't exist without Israel,

there's a good chance you would start thinking like her diary things, right? Or like why do we let Bibi just do open mic night in the middle of our government whenever he wants to? What other country do they let the guy talk at the government? And get yelled at if you don't go. Like if they were like, you skip this speech of the president of Azerbaijan. What's wrong with you? Well, yeah, to be mean to the current president too. To fuck with Obama and Biden, he just comes out like, yeah, like it's the Apollo. But he did drop that one fire bar last time.

You could tell Jerry's writing for him now. Wait, what was the bar? What was it? They say gays for Hamas? That's like saying chickens for KFC. Holy shit. I bet Seinfeld did write that. That is so Jerry. I mean, that sounds like Jerry. Yeah. That'd be funny if Michael Richards was writing for him at the speech to Congress. It'd be better if Michael Rappaport was wrong. I What up God that's how he starts

Bees time babies think dead ass on dog Shit Hamas October 7th type shit The seventh type shit was fifty thousand nine elevens combined type shit. The October 7th type shit was 50,000 9-11s combined type shit. Hamas committed 50,000 rapes against fine shit. That was at the concert. I got another story here. I didn't get a chance to get to this story on our on our last show, but it is pretty astonishing.

You got familiar with that Italian guy who was tortured in Soho for like two weeks and then like escaped nude onto the streets of lower Manhattan. Oh, yeah. That is a nightmare of mine. Having to get somewhere nude. Yeah, it's like an anxiety dream. But no, it's apparently like he was tortured by these like crypto guys who like Kidnapped him and like tried to get his password for his like crypto wallet from him. But

Yeah, but the headline here is NYPD detectives on Eric Adams security detail Maybe tied to crypto millionaire torture case so far voting for him again Two members of the NYPD including a detective detective in Mayor Adams' security detail, have been placed on modified duty this week after links surfaced to two crypto businessmen charged with kidnapping an Italian tourist earlier this month. Sources close to the case tell News 4. Sources familiar with the case say NYPD brass learned the detective assigned to protect Adams had provided security at the Prince Street townhouse in Nolita where crypto businessmen

John Waltz and William Duplese allegedly tortured and held captive an Italian tourist for 17 days. Sources believe the detective working off duty for the two crypto businessmen also picked up the Italian tourist from the airport earlier this month. So I mean, the case here seems to be that like an NYPD detective was moonlighting as security for these crypto sharks and then escorted this Italian guy from the airport to his kidnapping, essentially. Oh man, I really feel like think how bad you feel when you get out of an

airport and then immediately you're naked and getting beaten. I feel all those guys too by businessmen. I like, yeah, it's one thing to get beaten by like heavies, like a mafia guy, but like a business guy? God, I'm not going to say no one's had it worse than this guy, but it's pretty bad. It's the worst. It's pretty much the worst. Besides how Felix and I have it currently as Jews in this country, it's the second worst. Well, I mean... Businessmen, they keep calling them. But I mean, they held this guy for almost over two weeks.

And apparently he didn't crack. Apparently he didn't give them the password, which is like, you know, like casino. I knew you would have squealed by now. Wait, so he was a... I feel like I need more info. He was a random tourist, but they knew. No, he was not a random tourist. He was a crypto whale. And I guess like I guess maybe got wind that he was traveling with, like, I don't

know, like a flash drive with like millions of dollars on it. But they just need like a password to just take the money. So that's what they were torturing him like for his password. Like it's it's like Pokemon is now money. It's like, yeah, that's what I was thinking about. This is like, imagine Pokemon. Yeah. Imagine having like like like tens of millions of dollars just like on a flash drive.

And the only thing stopping someone from just putting in their pocket is like your password. I mean, like, you know, your ATM number is one thing. That's not like tens of millions of dollars in your checking account. Right. It's not all your money. Yeah, it's not all your money. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you can only take out so much money. Imagine like some guys have like tortured you for your ATM code.

They take you to an ATM and you have to like withdraw millions of dollars in increments of two hundred dollars. You know, before the like before it became really easy to buy crypto in the last, like, you know, decade or so, you had to go like pedophile part of the internet. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you have to go to a website called like Mount Gox and it's like, that's embarrassing for everyone, but one way I heard that like one way, like there

were some cartels that would like transfer or like hold large sons, sons of money in like counterst strike skin lockers. So like someone's been tortured for their steam password the same way, probably. Well, it's just a story that he he did give up the password after his weeks long ordeal. So, I mean, you know, I mean, he's I would have. I would have cracked a lot earlier than him. But the article also says it is not unusual for members of the NYPD to moonlight on outside security jobs while off duty. It's like, shouldn't that be like illegal or something?

Shouldn't you have to like officially retire from the force before you can start being like a private police officer for criminals? Yeah, it's one thing to like work security for like a bar or even like an actual company. But like, if you're like, Hey, I'm just security for this guy. That's just you're a hired goon. Yeah, it's just like, like, how many guys are getting are getting paid to be hired goons like this. I economy's rough out there, but it says boom times for goons. It's goon, goon. For gooners. For Arsenal, dude.

Can you apologize for that, Arsenal? The gooner joke is, it seemed like you're having so much fun with it, but it means a lot to me. I haven't done that in years. Sorry, OK, well. I never even made fun of them. I just said I'm a gooner. And then like, Will's a gooner. We're all bloody gooners for life. Thank you

Will it was before sports guy too. You should you should be the first to stand up for me Well Felix was Gooning on he was I don't make it I don't think this is ever an attack on arsenal supporters out of now these children think that it means masturbating your penis. I think, okay, the last time I told that joke, it was years before gooning meant jacking off. It seemed like it was so fun though. I was having fun.

I was like, I wish this wasn't hurting my feelings. Why did it hurt your feelings? Because I care so much about this. But I'm not sure I am. And it's so embarrassing. Being an American soccer fan, it's the worst kind of guy you could be No, it's like being a Ted light You know just sending the worst gift to it like a work reply all

Like it's just the most awful guy in the world at like someone that's like, what are we doing? Say like a guy that's like hump day hump day almost there. That guy is When I was 19, I would stay home from parties so I could watch Yushin Okami fight in Hamburg, Germany. What is that? Oh. Exactly. MMA? Yeah.

Well you were right about now the most popular, the thing that gets the. It sucks now, it's never been worse. MMA's bad now? It sucks now. It's terrible. Really, what happened? They got rid of all the wokes.

I mean, kind of. But no, it's a long story, but basically the way that they do sponsorships and the sheer volume of UFC events per year means that there's no more middle class of talent, like guys who would probably never contend for a title, but were exciting and could make a good living through sponsors. We made fun of the guys who would probably never contend for a title but were exciting and could make a good living through sponsors. We made fun of the guys who had, they would wear shorts

with Condom Depot dot com plastered across their ass. But that was like, most fighters are never going to fight for a championship, but like all the guys, there used to be tons of fighters who were not, they were outside of the top 10, but they were gatekeepers to the gatekeepers, and they had tons of fans. Stepping stones. Yeah, and they could make decent money through sponsors, and then they got rid of that.

I have it in now with that, because my friend Stiney from the Nelk Boys is friends with Dana White. I had him on my show, this fellow, Stiney, that's on the Nelk Boys, the Full Send podcast, and he was at UFC ringside with Dana White, and he's had Trump four times on his podcast. What are we doing with our lives?

Well, I mean, he should be, if he wants to save MMA, he should aggravate Dana's Meniere's disease. What's that? I used to think it was totally made up, because a bunch of like... Meniere? Meniere's disease is... It's like a Lena Dunham thing.

Well, that's what I... It used to be like when you would make fun of a guy online who said they were a veteran, they'd be like, I actually have Meniere's disease from my service. So I thought it was like, you know, chronic fatigue syndrome for men. But it's apparently a real thing and Dana Waite has it. And it just sounds like being hung over all the time Which maybe he is but maybe it can be provoked and we can save MMA. I don't know I don't know. I can maybe see if Steinie could put you in touch

He's very close with this Dana White Dana White would go here We go you fucking goofball and hang up on me. That's what he calls people he doesn't like. Goofball is sick. Yeah, he's been calling people that crap. It's like calling someone a bum. Yeah, he's like, you're a fucking goof. It's funny to call like a lady politician a bum. It seems a little misogynistic, but you can't explain why. You're like, Pelosi, you fucking bum.

It's funny, right? Yeah, she's a bozo, a bum. A bum, yeah, like you're in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium. Anyway, cut that because I now have a responsibility to society. So you can cut that bum part. I don't like I've asked you this before because I you're talking about your new friend from the DELF boys, but I don't think I. What do you mean new?

You're jealous. Like I can make him your friend. You called him your new friend. Well, he is a new friend. But the way will said it was as if like I moved on I want us all my friends. I want you me Steve will do it Felix If he wants to show up freak off fuck off. What do you mean? I like show up the most things Adam I'm teasing. Okay, go ahead. Adam, you're my best friend. The Nelk Boy is your new friend. I don't think we need to like gauge levels of friendship here, but like, well, I guess what I'm pointing is I was asking is like, I know you've explained this to me.

I guess I'm going to do it again for the benefit of our listeners. I still don't really understand who the Nelk Boys are. I know they're very influential. I know they do crazy numbers. I know everything now. I know everything. They have to have had Trump on four times. I know they're going to be on the top of the list.

I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list.

I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're going to be on the top of the list. I know they're very influential. I know they do crazy numbers. I know everything now. I know they have to have had Trump on four times. And I guess I'm just wondering, like, as you've described to me, it's, it's like a podcast with guys who get drunk with each other. Are they, are they drinking on air?

Well, it started as prank content and then it became lifestyle content. It was started by Kyle and Kyle Forgard and and Jesse and Jesse left because he got sober and it's tough to be around that group if you're a sober gentleman. That's what I bet it was a lot like some kind of monster the Metallica documentary. Exactly if you can't fully send it like you know that's part of your responsibility in your job. Right. But then the prank, the prank content became there was a podcast that started around COVID time, 2020, called the Full Send Podcast. And they've had yet like Elon Musk, the richest man in the world. You know, they've had the

president, they've had JD Vance. Yeah, Dana, Dana White is a champion of theirs. I think it's so interesting. Steve will do it. He used to... He's phenomenal, this guy. I love him. I knew about him before because he would be in FaZeBlitBanks' vlogs, and he was just like... FaZeBanks did treat him like a medieval buffoon. Like, he was just this, like, oaf like oath that phase banks kept around where he's like, Hey, check this out.

This guy will drink an entire handle of vodka. Yeah. It was a lot of content, a lot of chugging content. And then he wasn't in phase. He was just like, phase banks was the, was the king and this was his jester. So yeah, he shoots with a crossbow and then Steve became like a real person with a bank account. Steve is he's the talent of that world. He is he's tremendous. I have no he's I

think he's like the right wing Hassan. That's my that's at least makes sense to me in my mind. And guess what? He's having a lot better of a time. I'll tell you that. But no, no, but are they actually are they right wing they just have right-wing guests on? Are they just kind of like, they're guys who just sort of absorb politics by... Listen, the truth is this, guys. The three of us were losers, right? We liked politics as kids and we got called gay for it. And it needs to go back to that, right? Not in the Tony private schools that I went to, Adam.

Everyone likes politics now, right? Not in the Tony private schools that I went to, Adam. Everyone likes politics now, right? Yeah. So these guys are like, because they have a platform there, they've now, I mean, what it did more for Trump to do fucking full send podcast three times than for Kamala to have Oprah to have Beyonce, but they didn't have enough money for her to sing. I mean, like, think about it that way. It makes it more pathetic what's happening on the other side, to be honest with you.

That they haven't figured out that you have to chill. You have to crack a Happy Dad, which is their brand of hard seltzer. Which we bought. I bought $300 of Happy Dad on DoorDash before Steiny came. And yeah, I mean, that's what's interesting about the show in general with me, is that I've made a living online for nine years, but I don't really know much. Like, I kind of like know a little bit, but I'm not like deep in like what things are. Like when I had that guy Destiny, I was like, I didn't understand that this was a world

of arguments, like debating on Twitch. His life fell apart after he was on the edit. Not that I'm saying that you can connect it. It's another Bam Margera situation. I mean, it's a classic Bam Margera. Yeah, very similar. It's a classic Bam Margera. Very similar.

No, I mean, but for me, it's like, I remember I was like telling, like people were talking to me as, and honestly, I did it partially out of spite because people were talking to me, they're like, you have no idea what you've done. You've like awoken a giant. I think, and I was like, what is this?

These are people that have, these are, it's the arguably, celebrity and arguing celebrity. Yeah, it's really big for people that have, these are, it's the, celebrity and arguing celebrity. Yeah. It's, it's really big for people who like, you know, when you see a post on Twitter where, where it's like my political evolution, age 11, social Democrat, age 12, fascist, age 13, integralist, age 14, Maoist, like the people who, I think he's brought a lot of people away from Peterson. I think that that's... Yeah, well a lot of his fans are like 16 year olds who are like,

well, you guessed it, I've changed religions for a third and final time. I'm now a Unitarian. Yeah, yeah. I think, which, I don't know, whatever. Just because like I don't understand this and then I do like research for two weeks, it's like for me, I still kind of like approaching it as an outsider. I've got I have a lot of like internet people that are coming on this season and it's just like my initial reaction is always like if the show is put in a time capsule and then take it out in 50 years time, I want people to be like it's really that was

fucking gay and I know I'm on chat I can't say that. What's a word I can say? It's those things. Wack. Wack isn't good. There has to be something. No, it's not. It's not very good. It stinks. It like people were people they and they weren't embarrassed of themselves. That's kind of I think has some merit to it in a loose sense where it's like, if I can kind of just have it speak to that, that would

be worthwhile. Well, Adam, like you mentioned that like Trump going on the full send podcast four times probably did more for him than all of the earned media that Kamala did or like or any of like the traditional media sort of stovepipe to like talk to the public and talk to your voters, create a public perception about yourself a brand in like the public consciousness. One of the stories we've been covering on this show over the last couple weeks is like there've been a spate of articles and like announcements from the Democratic Party and they're like official, you know, sort of think tanks and organs that they're going to be investing money into like how to make

how to go viral like online and how to like attract specifically young men with like content that speaks to them and like, they're like, yeah, we need to be less scolding and like morally hectoring young men and we need to like, do cool stuff like drink beer and stuff. So like, Adam, like, this is, I'm just wondering, like, like, when you're in your interactions with like the young male, like, influencer sphere, like, what do you think the Democrats are missing that Trump does so well here? Is it just like, I have way more respect for those guys than the Democrats at

this point. I mean, I just what what what's apparent with kind of like the MMA kind of nootropic side of the internet is that, yeah, they're just like fucking... there's no like ideological kind of project. The truth is this, Democrats can't say a bunch of shit. There's like a ton of shit you can't say if you're a Democrat, right? So Republicans can say whatever they want, and that's why they're kind of they've won online. You know, and what's so big?

Do we're not like we're not for me and you fellas. We're the last people try. We're the last bastion of sanity in this fucking world. But like like Democrats, Democrats. Yeah, I mean, it, I think more than anything, it's that they can't, like, they're unable to have pattern. Trump can talk about things in the news or pop culture

and have a pattern to it because he's able to make jokes about it or give his opinion. Every time that you've seen Kamala or really any Democrat on something like the Breakfast Club or something like that, everything is so non-committal in a way that's like antithetical to that type of content. I don't know. Pete kind of smashed it on Schultz, though, right? Pete, Pete, Pete, low key smashed it. I mean, oh, wow. I'm serious. I'm not even joking. I was like, Pete low key smashed it. I mean, that's all. Wow. All his boosters are saying that.

I'm serious. I'm not even joking. I was like, I'm not even joking. I was like, this is the best a Democrat has ever. This is the best Pete's ever done. He's going to get caught in a, in a closeted straight scandal, though. Well, no, but think about it this way. Here's a better example. Like Zuckerberg during COVID was doing all that like like fake news censorship

about like the vaccine and like rates of the whatever. Yeah, yeah. He had that like congressional hearing and the stock price plummeted. Right. So then he got muscles and a chain and like all the guys that were like, you're an enemy of free speech or like you're fucking sick now. But it's like, obviously, like there's's an incentive or there's like a benefit, you know, it's like it's better for his business, right? I mean, I asked Stiney that, I was like, what do you fucking owe this guy if he's just trying to use you? And he's like, dude, it'll do fucking numbers, dude. And I was like, yeah, you're pretty much right. I mean, do fucking numbers, dude. And I was like, Yeah, you're pretty much right. I mean, do fuck numbers, dude.

Well, I mean, like, to your point, like, I think this speaks to a dynamic where, like, I really think like the people who run the Democratic Party, and like their most motivated voters and like the media that speaks to them, like it is from top to bottom, all produced by people who got like perfect scores on the SATs. And we're like, really, really, really, like good at doing homework, like smart in the traditional sense. Like, I don't mean this is a value judgment, but like they

don't know how to talk to stupid people. And I'm not using stupid as an insult here. I'm using it as a compliment. They hate they load stupid people. They load people like Trump won because the voters are so stupid, which like drives me nuts. It's like they're acting like they were molested in the election like it like and There's no concept of like Representational democracy. It's like that. They were hurt. They were abused by the by the voters It's it's yeah the polls beyond that. They're just like that. It's

reprehensible to me that they think that It's reprehensible to me that they think that Oprah at a rally is like what the world is. You know? That's really what... Like I said, one side is like people who they loathe stupid and lazy people. And like, let's be honest, most people are stupid and lazy. I'm including myself in that category. Most people are chill, dude. I don't know.

I mean, like, that's... I think being stupid and lazy is part of being chill, personally. Most people are chill dude. I mean like that's I think being super and lazy is part of being chill personally. Most people are probably just watching Disney+. That's probably just what the reality is like most people like don't have money but there's enough Disney+, you know? There's enough and or. I would think I've been thinking about this because like I engaged with some sort of market focused abundance yimby people online this week like I engaged with some sort of market focused abundance, Yimby people online this week. And I realized that like, they're just like, look at this guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about. And like, I think I don't because he

waterfall because the Ezra canceled, I was supposed to have Ezra. No, I did not. I'd not do anything to Ezra. The things a lot will they just send me graphs. And I just think it's like, it's, it's obvious to me that like the political side that's winning is the one where top to bottom the people in charge of it and running it and voting for it are like all on like uppers or like you know they're just like having a good time.

They're like they're on meth. Like they can say and do it with a foundation. They all got A's too. Right. I don't. Yeah. Right. That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying. Politics is all on every side filled with overachievers who aren't necessarily smart. If they were at the highest end of book smart, they would be designing seeker heads or doing high frequency trading. But they're just below that level. They're too ugly, probably. Right, and they're hideous. that level. Um, they're too ugly probably.

Right. And they're hid, they're hideous. Right. But I don't, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I do think like there is something true to the idea that like Democrats, um, they have this, like there was this like vice grip over culture for the longest time. there was this like vice grip over culture for the longest time. And they sort of confused that for like

enduring popular support. What do you mean? Everyone loves this. They're fucking, we're telling jokes about incels on She-Hulk. That's so mean too. But now like that exact same thing is happening on the right wing side and it it started with Twitter like the same exact

phenomenon where you you buy Twitter or you have Twitter and you curate everything so It amplifies everything on your side and you go well look at that like everyone loves this shit The same thing is happening now on the right-wing side, I think like any, any. They're doing is claptor. They're doing Kate McKinnon. Right. Right. They're right. Like they are like doing the same thing that the Democrats were doing.

Right. Like obviously, obviously I think like the democratic party as an Institute, like it, there was any, like any type of like meritocracy or, or sense of right or wrong, it would be defunct as a part. It would not be able to come back after Gaza, after Biden, after all those Matt Miller press for things. But I just I don't see the other side is particularly more canny. I mean, this is again, people are talking about this election

like it was this fucking 1988 landslide. And it was a cost of living year where they beat Kamala Harris, one of the shittiest candidates I've ever seen by like what, one point two points in the pot. Like it's just a game of who gets to hold the flaming bag of shit last. And that bag of shit being the US consumer economy right at the end of our first week, right? As we are no longer able to scare people into our terms and right, right as we have disgraced ourselves on a world stage.

And I just, I don't see one side or the other as having one set of answers or not to, you know, their cultural insights and devotes. Like they both, they're both guilty of this thing where it's like, oh, we won the last election, so that's a vindication of us doing things exactly how we want to do them all the time. Right. One thing is though, far be it for me to compliment the fascist in chief. And

I, and again guys, I will not rest until he is in prison. Okay. That, that's just the, I will, I will destroy him through the Jewish talk show on youtube.com that I've done five episodes of. Yeah. He, His days are numbered, but Trump realized like early on, like he went on Stern almost a hundred times, right? And polite society was like, this is smut and this is crap, and he was like, no, this is a massive audience, right? If anything, he was kind of the one that figured it out. I've been going back. I mean, what out like that is Anna Nicole Smith, a genius like what are we talking about?

Well, figured out how to make The Apprentice into the number one rated show behind the Super Bowl. He's not a he's not a real estate genius. He's not a business genius. He's a he's from TV. Right. And he yes, the Nelk Boys full send appearance model is a product of that, right? Is a product of the fact that Stern had him on like almost a hundred times and Donald Trump called like,

said he was buying the Miss Universe Tournament. If Donald Trump won because he went on the Nelk Boys, and then Joe Trump won because he went on the Nellis. No, no, I'm not saying that. Joe Biden win because he went on the breakfast. Like you see what I'm saying here? It's just it is the thing that everyone does. We're just the last thing that was in front of you is the key to every. Well, there is a merit to the size, the amount of people that are.

Sure, sure, sure. So like Joe's getting 10 times more than Anderson Cooper, right? It's a bigger audience. That's all I'm saying. That's not a detriment. I'm not saying Stern was a because he was a scoundrel like. No, he had a huge audience and everyone was like, oh, this gentleman pedals and smut that like polite society

looked down on it and he was like, no, fuck it. I'm going to go on and and market the shit out of my fights at my casino and my fucking TV show where Meat Loaf has to make a business or something. I mean, that's all I'm saying, right? He's just recognized, oh, this is what people are. Or you could look at it in the way that he occupied this certain area of American culture

for a very long time. And for most of that time, he was as far away from legitimacy as someone could be. But then eventually things shook out in such a way that there was no longer all the institutional safeguards that rotted away. They had traded away their legitimacy for short-term gain, similar to how they did under Biden that things, um, again, he didn't want to be the president. It wasn't that he rose to where they are.

It's no, that like he's a mirror. He's a, he's a symptom. He he's not a mastermind. He's a product of a symptom. He's not a mastermind. He's a right product of both political parties like yeah He's a product of a fucking guy from skull and bones in Yale putting on a car hard and eating like a fried butter Right, right. They're like playing to these popular sentiments and but like Then they kind of you remember like during 2016 like Ryan's Priebus would keep throwing up one of them. He'd be like, lying, lying Ted or like little Marco, like this is your week, please try.

And he was just smacking. It was the best TV show of all time. I miss it so much. I mean, it was incredible. But I was saying this earlier, but there was like a moment where I was like, oh, this is different. When like, I think, I think lying Ted was like, how can anyone vote for you when you gave Hillary money? And he was like, yeah, I'm rich. I give everyone money. And it was like a moment where it's like, oh, yes, I'm not saying Donald Trump is a genius, but it was like, oh, yeah, we all know that. But they never say it. Right? Right. Right. No. Yeah. I think that he absolutely,

I'll be the first to say that he had like incredible instincts specifically for the time that he actually chose to run. Correct, they lost control. And he was, he's from TV. Again, he didn't want to be the president. He was renegotiating with Jeff Zucker for the new season of Apprentice.

It's the funniest thing that's ever happened ever. It is the funniest, and we were together that night. It is the funniest thing that's ever happened ever. It is the funny, and we were together that night. It is the funniest thing of all time. And Matt was screaming at fucking, what's his name, Podesta? Oh, John Podesta. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Matt said, they're going to blame us for this.

No, Matt was like, what? Matt was like, Chappah's over, dude. We're the fucking Daily Show now. We have to be the fucking Daily Show now. And I was like, no, dude, you get to... You were like, listen, this is one star in Hollywood. This is great for you. Come to my freak-off. On the Hollywood Walk of Stars. I'm taking you to a freak-off right now.

You have to go to Bill Cosby's star. I didn't say, you know that people say that Karl Winslow, there's a, was at one of the freak-offs? Carl Winslow. Who is saying this? Reginald Al-Johnson. The dad from Family Matters. Yes.

And then McLean's partner from Die Hard. Exactly, exactly. Who is saying this? A trusted source, Jake Tapper. Oh wow, I gotta start watching the show. Apparently someone walked in on, allegedly, Puffy having sex with Carl Winslow from Family. I don't believe that.

I don't believe that. Mr. Tapper has to check his sources on this one. Why would Tapper lie after all this? Why would Tapper lie after all this? Why would he lie? I got one more story for you guys tonight. And this is, I know this is probably well-trod material for the show, but there's another big New York Times piece this week about Elon Musk and his drug habits. And it's got some pretty

tracy stuff in it. And I guess like, I'd like to preface this by just imagining, like just asking you and the listeners to imagine if there was an article written in the paper of record about your behavior that like, contain the contain the phrase, it was affecting his bladder, like just, just imagine that like like like the shit you've done in your life It gets put out on blast in the New York Times like this because well They brought me pooping my pants and the gentleman's quarterly that's very true So I know exactly how Elon feels right now It's tough to be the most what some of the most famous people in the war and important people in the world

It seems like he's lost his mind. This is as Elon Musk became one of Donald Trump, J Trump's closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about 275 million to help him win the presidency. He was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities. Mr. Musk's drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and he traveled with a daily medication box

that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulator. That's the most insane part, the ecstasy thing. It's like, I figure that like everyone with that kind of nation state wealth has like a former Marine or someone whose job is like source drugs for them. He's, he's doing like 200 milligrams of like just incredibly pure MDMA with like a 75 milligram parachute and he's pulse, he's pulsating so hard, the floor is shaking, all the lights and sounds are just completely enrapturing, but he's pulsing, he's pulsating so hard, the floor is shaking. He's got a color. All the lights and sounds are just completely enrapturing. But he's at CPAC and the guy he has to go up to is like David Clark.

Yeah. Like it's so, like, holy shit, bad roll does not even, you know, it does not even describe the half of it. It's so burnered, like tech burner, Burning Man, like to think that drugs make you smart right? Like yeah yeah drugs are fucked up like right? Every you take drugs because you want to get fucked up. That's what an adult does but they're like it's nerds it's nerds that are like we're now now we're the jocks. I'm working ketamine ecstasy and acid into my daily stack. Every person I have ever known who's like, I need to like realign my life, but I'm gonna do LSD,

and then I'm gonna figure out what I really wanna do. To a person, their lives have been ruined. I don't know a single person who that has gone well for. And that's all these guys, these guys are all, they all like micro dose everything because they. Well it seems like Maylon is macro dosing. I mean have you seen him recently? Yeah, yeah.

Well he's. He had a black eye in the White House the other day and he said it was because his kid punched him. Yeah, his behavior is terrible. But Kenny, he'll just go to rehab and then be rich again, right? I don't know, I mean I think he's so rich he doesn't even have to go to rehab.

I think he can just keep putting drugs. Yeah, who's gonna tell him to go to rehab? It's his mom. It's stupid, it's like, he isn't the richest guy in the world, like probably Putin and MBS are, right? But they don't care about being on the list. Well, I mean, at that level of it sort of doesn't matter. Well, what I'm saying is they don't care

about being on the list. It's like the same reason like he still posts stuff like memes and stuff. It's like if I was him, I'd be a ghost. I wouldn't be going on the like the come down subreddit and like defending myself. Like seeing someone at that level be, it's like LeBron. LeBron like embarrasses himself all the time. And there's like a palatable like, like vulnerability there.

That's just like, just be the richest guy in the world. Like just shut up. Like can you stop legalizing comedy? Like stop it. He's still like bitching about people like complaining about the Nazi salute. Like if you, you'll get his tweets just like pumped into your feed, whether you follow him or not.

And I get like three things a day where he's retweeting people like showing, you know, Cory Booker. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, yeah. It's like you're still fucking talking about that. Well, I mean, like that goes to show that he's like he's he they got him. I mean, he absolutely absolutely was a Nazi.

Reading the comments. He's reading comments. I mean, Elon Musk is by the standards of like, you know, I don't know, American or, you know, mainstream culture is someone who is like on record being more sympathetic to Hitler than the average person. So that when he does a salute like that, let's just say it gets less of the benefit of the doubt than what Cory Booker does. But it's actually Cory Booker is a great example, because he's also a Nazi. Is he? No, I'm

just kidding. I thought he's from New Jersey. But like, it's I mean, neither here nor there. The point is that he's still like, he's still like looking for people who are defending him. No, he thought it was going to be a dope meme. That's right. Yeah. And then people were like, that's, that's crazy.

You're, it's the inauguration. And he's like, it's, I am the meme. I'm the meme man. I am meme. It's, I am the meme. I'm the meme man. I am meme. It's, it's the same as LeBron, to be honest with you. Like LeBron gets caught lying all the time and it's just like, it hurts to actually watch, but like this guy is just so desperate to be seen as funny, which is just like, just be rich.

Rich used to mean that you like, I don't know, do a satanic blood ritual, like have a little class. Like, yeah, read like an ancient tome, do some fucking like knife gate type of shit. Yeah. Yeah. Torture a baby or something. Yeah. Like, just shut up about me. Like the meme man.

I am meme. Like, it stinks. JP Morgan would beat people with his cane if they took a picture of his face like it's yeah. Can you imagine getting sent to Auschwitz to buy a guy that's like I can has cheeseburgers. It would be worse than the Holocaust. It literally would.

It says here Mr. Musk has described some of his mental health issues in interviews and on social media, saying in one post that he has a high, great highs, terrible lows and unrelenting stress. Traditional therapy and antidepressants. I love that he's announcing traditional therapy and antidepressants as he like takes it like, as he takes ketamine so much that he's pissing his pants.

This is how they treated you for for like depression in 1870. This is how they treated Rosemary Kennedy for depression is what he's doing. The holes he's putting in his fucking brain. I wonder how like in a room how Trump was handling it because he's well, OK, well, OK. But listen to this. It says here he plays video games for hours on end. He struggles with binge eating.

He lied about being the best. Diablo or whatever. Yeah, yeah, okay. It says he struggles with binge eating according to people familiar with his habits and takes weight loss medication. And he posts day and night on his social media platform X. Now, do you remember a couple of weeks ago where Trump made reference to like an unnamed billionaire he's friends with who's on the way who's on the Ozempi.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was like it's not working for him. He's a very neurotic guy, very successful. But I said, whatever you're taking is not where I mean, like he was absolutely talking about Musk there. Oh, he like and he like it briefly worked for him and he debuted a new wardrobe that was really it was like fallout inspired. That was when he said he had the famous like,

go fuck yourself. At Sea Pack he was wearing a shirt that was like just chilling and side questing or something. Right, right, he's, right. That, the Sea Pack thing I think was one of the most disgraceful events in American history because literally that afternoon Grimes added him and was like, your son is dying.

And then he came out there wearing like a Target soda t shirt and was like, he's ready to laugh. Mr. Musk has been using had been using ketamine often sometimes daily and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him. He also took ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and on at least one other country,

according to those who attended the events. On October 5, he appeared with Mr. Trump at a rally for the first time bouncing up and down around the candidate. That evening, Mr. Musk shared his excitement with a person close to him. I'm feeling more optimistic after tonight, he wrote in a text message. Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the Matrix. This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised, Mr. Musk added about an hour later. Lasers from space.

I don't get what that last thing, lasers from space, is referring to, but... I don't know, it's probably a thing. It's probably a real thing. Something that he has access to. It was probably like a video where him and Trump are edited into 300 laser cats from from space. Yeah, he's so like Homestar

runner coded nerds who get bad grades. Do you remember those guys? They didn't even get good grades. They were just losers. Right. You thought they had some academic prowess because they were wearing like socks that went right below their knee. And they got F. But no, they weren't good at any. Yeah,

they stunk. Right. It was like it was like guys who were autistic, but they were autistic for like Clive Cussler novels. Well, the thought I thought I had reading this, Adam, to your point, the thought I had reading this article is that like, I want to become straight edge now. Like, I think I'm giving up drugs after reading this shit He's like he should I didn't think it was I think it was possible to make taking ecstasy and mushrooms uncool But apparently you on has done it and I guess for that I thank him for my sobriety. Oh, come on, dude He's not poser dirtbag, dude. We're real dirtbag. We can't lose who we are What do you mean just he he wants to appropriate our lifestyle as dirt bags?

No, he should talk to Chief Keef. Because I always thought Chief Keef was like a little bit like a... Fuck rehab. No, no. He's... I saw that. Do you see that interview with him? Yeah, he's autistic. No, he's normal. He was just like, yeah, I just had to get out of like Chicago.

He's like, yeah, I moved to LA and yeah, he's like a normal guy. I was like, he is autistic. Yeah, but he was on drugs the whole time. Yeah, of course. Everyone's autistic. No, but like, he'd know I mean, like the actual set, like he was like diagnosed. It wasn't this thing where someone just goes, oh, I love Wikipedia. I must have autism. Well, he just seems like where someone just goes. Oh, I love Wikipedia. I must have autism

Well, he just seems like a nice gentleman now. Oh, yeah He's he's off of whatever the crap that he was on and now he's like, yeah I moved to LA and yes, just I can't yeah, it was too crazy Chicago I was I hated being sober. Yeah, he's just regular now. Maybe must can be I Mean, I don't know. Maybe Elon Musk should move to Chicago and become a drill rapper. He's just doing too many drugs. I mean, yeah, it's out of control, everything, but I don't know. I really do wonder how Trump... It must have been like Tony seeing AJ on AIM Messenger.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What was Trump making it with like, I am the meme man. Like I am meme, yeah, destroyer of planet. Like, can you imagine Trump listening to that kind of gibberish of like a man who's like fucked up on drugs? He must have been like, I don't know what the fuck this gay shit is that you're sorry, Chris.

Sorry, Chris. Again, I got to stop. I got to say I have a career now. Guys, are you going to take my career seriously? Oh, we have you on the show, Adam. What do you mean? Oh, you had you let me on the show when I was a nothing. You are my day ones.

Yeah, absolutely. And my day two. Yeah, absolutely. And what I gave you is tiny. I mean, I don't know. We're getting to the end of the episode. So in light of your career, can you give us a preview? I mean, like I saw the Anthony Leener interview got written up in the New York Post. Did you see that? Yeah, I did. Oh, my God. What an honor.

On page six or just regular post? No, there's a regular New York Post. Did it? Did you see that? Yeah, it did. Oh my God, what an honor. On page six are just regular posts. No, there's a regular New York Post article that says, this guy just can't stop talking about sex. Disgraced ex congressman Anthony Weiner joked that women are crazy about me and rift about his sexting scandal during a spirited interview as he seeks a political comeback

by running for New York City Council seat. For sure, my God, they're crazy about me. Women are crazy about me, said the registered sex offender when podcast host Adam Friedland asked if women find powerful men such as politicians attractive. Yeah, I mean, he said that. I guess, I don't know, it's interesting why this guy is still wants to enter public life.

And I think I kind of, as I talked to him, got an impression that he kind of learned the backroom aspect of politics, right? He like learned from from Schumer, like the like maneuvering the Frank Underwood, like the I Claudius part. Yeah, he has like no kind of concept of like the representative democracy aspect. I think in his mind, he's like, I'm the best. Why won't they give it to me? I deserve, you know, and it's so he's like delusional. He thinks

this could be like a step ladder to a key retro. He thinks that he's the best at like operating and maneuvering in at the game. Like clearly not. He thinks he's the best in the at the game. Yeah, exactly. Right. I mean, I think about all the pedophiles in Congress who like never even get arrested I try to throw him a bit a bone with that too. I was like listen you were the first you know dick scandal Because Twitter was new I was like Matt Gates fucked a kid, you know, it's like it wouldn't even be top 1,000 news stories, you know, and he's like, whatever, you know, my name was Weenie, it was slow news, it's the same. I really think it's interesting.

Oh yeah, no, the same thing everyone does. I would have won if all the conditions that made me lose weren't there. Yeah, but yeah, it's funny. So one of my employees told me that people think that the DNC sent him here because they want him back. Which is like, I can assure you guys they most certainly don't.

Like, everyone is, he's rubbed everyone the wrong way in like, in power in that party. So if anything will, you should support him. You know, he's. He's molested a lot of Democrats. But genuinely speaking, I try to figure out what kind of guy it is beforehand, and I couldn't get a read on him. And I think that it's just like he's so about the game that it's kind of like stripped a kind of like a soul away in many moments.

I had that impression. I mean, he yelled at me because I said he seems more like a Yankee fan than a Met fan. He got furious. I mean, like from the jump, he started yelling at me, which was awesome. I really enjoyed it. But I don't know. I'm having fun with it, though. And I appreciate you guys letting me come on. And Felix, I'm sorry. I'm sorry again that I did whatever it was that you think I made fun of. I was in Stav's world before this, and now I'm sorry, I'm sorry again that I did whatever it was that you Whatever it was I was having his world before this and now I'm in Surprise, did he like wake you up and kidnap you who's tough like okay already?

Fine, but I was like coming back from Queens and You couldn't get water when you walked in the fucking door No, cuz I wanted to turn on the computer so I could get on the thing faster. Oh no, I'm 100% innocent in this respect, but it's your show. And I don't want to upstage you. I'm but a guest. This is not what I would call southern hospitality. One of your best friends is hanging out with you in front of millions of people right now on. No, I'm just kidding guys. I, I, I it's so fun to do the show with you guys. I hate, I hate podcasting.

And I it's only fun when I do it, uh, with a, you fine gentlemen, cause we're, we're the last Vanguard of sanity and rationality in this crazy world. We're all, Adam, we are all you, I, Felix, Chris, we are all gooners for life. I told my girlfriend the other day, I was like, I think I'm probably just gonna, I'm gonna have to fucking run for president at a certain point. I'm like, I think it, who the fuck else is gonna do it? Like as like a joke. And she was like, I don't want to be with a, with a

president. She said with a president. Wait, wait, you're saying she doesn't, you're saying she doesn't want to be first lady if that were on offer? She said, I don't want to be with a with a president. She said with a president Wait, wait, we're saying she doesn't you're saying she doesn't want to be first lady if that were I don't want to be with a president Oh president really bothered me But Grover Cleveland is on offer for her No, it was like what would do now it's what oh you you won't let me be the president now I now spiteful that I'm gonna do a spite run, just because I'm like marginally upset about my girlfriend not laughing at a non-funny joke admittedly that I told, but no.

Yeah, so now I'm probably gonna have to do it, dude. Who else is gonna do it? I asked Felix multiple times that I would Steve Bannon him, but you know, I'm just gonna have to do it my god damn self. But you got the message. I am thinking about running like a single issue campaign. Israel. Yeah, where I would just like,

I would just draw Agro of the ADL. Like I would run for Senate in Nebraska or something and my ads would just be like the same logo every time, an American flag and then you see a star of David Berning Truitt and then it takes head pops out. An anti-Semitic Jew campaign would be incredible. I'm not even talking about my opponent. I'm just like running ads about like the USS Liberty and it would just purely to be to

like draw the aggro of the Israel lobby. I'm not trying to win. I'm just trying to sop up resources. So they don't like to $100 million. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, folks, I'm a Jew and I know them better than anyone else. And we used to be sneakier. What the hell are these fools even doing? I've been to the meetings. They don't have your best interests in mind. I've talked to the European Council of Rabbis that Justin Bieber had to apologize to.

They definitely laughing at you. They definitely hit up like Benson Boone to like attract men. They're like, they did that. Absolutely. Actually, I was saying that half kidding. They definitely hit up the flip guy. The guy that does flips. Oh, who hit him up? The DNC. We need to connect with young men. Benson Boone. Yeah, just the, I don't know if you guys are familiar. Yeah, no, he does flips.

That's not that. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. They're approaching the worst, yeah, they're like, we gotta bring Randy Rainbow back. Oh, yes. Did they do something with Benson Boone? No, I just imagine they would or have. But Randy, where is he at nowadays?

I got to have him on TAFs. Randy Rainbow is still touring. Is he crushing? I mean, I just saw that a concert of three million people in South Hollow Brazil. Yeah. If you will, if you go to the global set, it will. If you go to the global south, his songs mean a different thing. Yeah, he's like he's like a rage against the machine.

He's right. Well, like's like a rage against the machine. He's huge down there. Like, Ansurah Law actually loves Randy Rainbow. Dude, I miss him so much. He actually spoke at their last conference. His songs were so good. His Quomo sexuality songs were incredible. I thought he was straight. Well, you may have another, well look,

I mean, if Andrew Cuomo becomes mayor of New York, maybe Randy could be like his press secretary or official sort of bard. I've heard, he may have another look. I mean, if Andrew Cuomo becomes mayor of New York, maybe maybe Randy could be like his press secretary or official sort of bard. I've heard he may need one. I've heard that Cuomo is Bidening like he's sundowning. And that's why like they won't let him talk to any media. He's doing Adam, you should ask Chris. I'm going on News Nation on Thursday, by the way, I'm going on Chris's show on channel 1070 million, whatever he's on News Nation on Thursday, by the way, I'm going to Chris's show on channel 1070 million, whatever he's on News Nation.

Yeah, that was the worst. That was the most... Honestly, I've done a lot of embarrassing things. That was the most embarrassing thing I've ever... I look like... The makeup artist made me look like a... Like a muñeca. I look like a Mexican 11-year-old girl. I look like I was having my quinceañera.

Quinceañera. Yeah, yeah. I was just wearing blush. I look like an American girl doll. And I was like, young Jews are having problems with the Zionists. Yeah. I swore that was going to be the last time I'd try to be smart in public, but now I have to go back to the old me.
