Hello and welcome to Kump. It's a big week out there. It's a popular revolution in the world, a financial popular revolution. if it's all to be sure that's yeah okay that's what we're going to go with that's fine uh did it seem weird to me that alon musk the richest man in the world is on the side of the people not at all doesn't seem weird at all uh i have famously uh you know had a vendetta against alon musk ever since he tried to get that rescue crew who was saving the kids from the cave

to use his strange kid-retrieving submarine that he has for some reason. And they said, well, no, we can't use that. Thank you, Mr. Musk, but we cannot use your experimental submarine. We would just, if something went wrong, how could we explain that? That we used a bizarre, eccentric billionaires bespoke child retrieving submarine and it all went wrong.

We couldn't. And he proceeded to, do he call them pedophiles? Maybe I don't know if he'd ever get it. The person who ultimately did lead the effort to get them out, he low-key accused of being a pedophile. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a pedophile because that guy's a pedophile because he don't have a child retrieving submarine.

Totally not the kind of. thing an ultra-rich pedophile would have. Yeah. No, that's the kind of thing that you buy when you're not a pedophile. And that anyone who doesn't have that is a pedophile. It's, to call it project, it just feels too act. It's not child trapping. It's child retrieving.

Grabbing. It's child grabbing. Look, grabbing a child is different. taking a child it's got it has a claw so what so what now but look he's on the side of the peasants and it's fine i am it all makes sense this is all going to go all this is going to bring down wall street i'm in i'm not questioning it like i normally do i'm not going to be the party Pooper. In fact, full disclosure, I'm in, baby. I have bought, uh, I have bought shares in GameStop. I, you know, I might give it advice to anyone, but I have. I am, I am now on the moon

ride, the ride that goes to the moon. Do you buy GameStop? No, I'm sorry. What's the, what's the one I bought? AMC. AMC. The, uh, the place where, uh, my, my, my favorite hat as a child, I had a Superman hat that I loved. That was, you know, I fell off my head during a movie and I picked it up off the floor and it was just covered in red slime. It was a white hat. Ruined. To be fair, that might have been a regal or national amusement theater.

I don't know. But the point is, I now own it. I own the company. So, yeah, I'm in. I'm in, baby. Lucy, on the other hand, didn't just buy. AMC. She, how do I put this?

You were full on red-pilled by Wall Street pets. Look, I don't know if red-pilled is necessarily the right term for it. But look, if going to the moon makes me a men's rights activist, then slap a penis on me. Here's the thing I don't understand, by the way. Sidebar. I didn't even think about what you just said. If you slapped you with a penis, you're a man. It makes you mens, okay.

That's fine. But just to the moon thing. I don't think Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin any of those guys made a lot of money. I don't know if that matters. I don't think NASA made a ton of money. I mean, there was financial benefits of going to the, this is me, again, being the, no, you're right, to the moon. We're not talking about a bunch of smooth-brained astronauts, babe. Right.

We're talking about smart people. Smart people. Is this all just part of a marketing scheme for SpaceX? Alon Musk's company. I mean, is there, am I the first person to point that out? That this guy wants to just be in space and bring people to space. And he supports a to the moon.

I think he did offer to put a GameStop logo on one of his rockets. No, he's, he's with the people. He's all about it. This is not, this is, this is,

this is, this is, this is fine. And the, the Dodge, the Dodge, the Dodge, Durango coin, whatever it's called.

Dodge coin. Yeah, but you were, sorry, but, yeah, elaborate, you were red-pilled by this community. I bought this, this stock under, you know, not the rest, but, you know, Tim kept calling me, go, you got, you got to hold the line and I had to get in. So I'm holding the line. But you caught away for this, and you told me you were going downstairs to go right. uh your screenplay and it turns out you spend the better part of an afternoon just deep diving into into the holes of reddit uh i had to know i didn't want to look i had to know do i put my life

savings in amc or does it should go to nokia these are big decisions you put a considerable amount of your uh of your financial livelihood in much more than i thought it was prudent uh that's fine um when I asked you And look, not that I And I wasn't trying to mansplain it to you But I have concerns Like when do we You know, price that

When do we, you know, bow out of this? Like what's the, How does this work if you know And you said, what do you mean? You know, how do you like, you know, At what point do we sell? Why would we sell?

I love AMC. It's gonna, it's a valuable company. You've somehow got, you've been red pill by AMC. What is the price for, to, to, uh, what's the price to withdraw from the fight of saving the movies? Can you put a price on that? Which movies? The, the velvet buzzsaw that we watched last night.

That was terrible. I haven't seen a good movie since, uh, since Avengers Endgame, um, in the theaters. Did we, do we see anything good? Uh, didn't we see a bunch of clunkers and that we're trying to save this, like, and then, you know. I think we saw End game. game a second time at one point does that count i mean no look i we like movies i'm a film i'm a film boy uh that being said and like i'm all for saving amc i'm also from making some money um so it's a little concern when you seem to go why would we ever sell uh this this stock will

state it well but that's fine when it's really going to pop up is when amc partners with wall street bets to become a giant, you know, their main location and you just throw stocks up on the screen and people smoke and they bet on stock. Sure. That's what AMC is going to pop off. To be fair, the best of my knowledge, I think I understand what's going on. AMC cashed in, it's a stock thing where it's, it got a much needed, you know, capital infusion cashing in the stock.

We're all saying it's going to go crazy on, people are saying it's going to go crazy on Monday. AMC on Friday is like, yeah, we don't think so. Thank you, but no, we're going to catch her now. That sounds great. Good luck with that. We're taking the money now. Good luck with our company. It's possible I've made a terrible mistake.

Hey, look, I'm in it with you. Elizabeth Warren is just the worst again. What is? We famously, I guess not famously. We talk about it on the podcast. I'm starting to use famously too liberally. Look, I famously love Jairus. It's something I like.

We went to, inadvertently went to an Elizabeth Warren watch party for the debates back in, you know, the Democratic debates. And these people were all in the CIA. It was at a bar around the corner. It felt like watching, like, one of those experimental pieces of theater. Right. where you go to like an actual place to watch it like you go to a coffee shop to watch this experimental group do theater it's like a nice thing for you episode yeah with the restaurant and like everyone's in the restaurant you're in the restaurant with the people yeah and they come in and they

go hi mary aren't you so excited for this great opportunity it she's like i'm just support elizabeth warren our you know our savior and uh also you know not not a liar uh yeah everyone it was it seemed like we stumbled into like a CIA meeting and they don't we'd leave and we just never did so they had to for two hours pretend they were like a watch party like they were going to go like break bernie's legs but they couldn't coordinate the plan because we were there um and then they'd randomly cheer for other they'd be like yeah bloomberg go king yeah like it's just like it was such a strange your number two was Bloomberg or something I remember Maybe, I don't know, maybe it was a clobachar or something.

They were just like, it's very strange. We were in the belly of the beast. But look, it didn't work out. She backstab Bernie. However you feel about Bernie, she definitely backstabed them. And now she's somehow pissing off both sides of the fence on this whole AMC game stop thing. She's saying that, look, what these Redders are doing is, it's not good for the market. And it might hurt the people, which might, look, it might hurt some people.

this is America, you're going to get hurt, all right? That's just, that should be, that should be on the fucking Statue of Liberty. Just like, you're going to get at least a little bit of hurt. The thing, it's going to go down easy. This is like, best case, it's like, you know, a porn where it hurts for a while and then some, at one point, just randomly great. It's like, ow, ow, ow, they cut the cameras. We don't, you know, they hide the cut.

It's like, it's like Pitchcock's rope where, like, as they're pending across the bleeding asshole. They seemlessly hide the transition and all of a sudden the woman's just, this is great anal sex. But that was too much of a metaphor probably. But no, my point is, you know, look, pensions, this and that, yeah, sure, these short squeezes, wait, what, we're hero, that's my point. When no one's a hero, stop believing you're going to, we're not, you know, this isn't

trading places at the end, but the two older, the more than. and the Lionel, whatever their names were. Did anyone understand that movie at the end? I understand how they made the guys lose money. I don't know how they made money. Or vice versa. I haven't watched it a long time. But, like, one of the most complex financial films of all time is Eddie Murphy and Dan

Agoorid's famous vehicle for comedy trading places. And then the guy gets fucked by a gorilla. Remember that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember trading. That was the principal from a breakfast club, I think. We got fucked by the gorilla. oh yeah you got stuck he put him in a gorilla costume and then another gorilla was in there with

him and gorilla's gonna fuck um i guess according to the movie by the way that a that bleeding asshole scene that is a microcosm of america yeah soon to be brought to you by dodge coin yeah i i don't even know the only reason this is like legal any of this is because everyone's admitting it's a scam which i love i mean you can't not admire it um i just get look and here's the thing i get that part of it's like to the moon and we all know i think part of us we're supposed to all just be on the same page going like we're all fucked like america's dead like this country's going to hell right but i i don't know i don't there's a certain cynicism for me thin of like so we're going to pretend we think we're heroes

even though we're just i don't know we're just nile it's just it's neat Nietzsche would just be confused. You know, the famous nihilist, and he would just be like, this isn't my meant. This is, what are you doing? Why? Why? Any of this, why?

Tone it down. Tone it down. But yeah, look, we're all heroes. I wish we were on YouTube right now, so I could play Bowie's heroes and talk about how we're all just, oh, no, yeah, girls. And we're just, you know, buying Dodge coin.

The imaginary currency that goes up in value because we all, I don't know, I don't get the narrative. I just don't, I mean, I'm for it. It's just all so next level cynical. This is how, they're going to look, this is, there is no more looking to Rome. At what point did we stop having to look to the fall of the Roman Empire? It happened in the past decade. where it stopped being like well if you look at rome because it used to be the whole thing

this whole country was built by the founding fathers on slavery but also on this idea that well rome was a democracy or whatever and it fell so maybe we should try to like you know put some measures and all these checks and balances it's also like it doesn't collapse like the greece and i mean i think greece got conquered but like rome just kind of devolved into a tyranny

a corrupt republic and it's tyranny and you used to be growing up that you'd hear you know eggheads not like you know not uh cori feldman but you know you know smart people would just like bring that up like oh wrong i feel like we're way but no one does that anymore because we're just so much worse like yeah they had lions eating people but this is worse this is just garish and just grotesque um so yeah i mean i'm all for to the moon that's my point hold the line you're my son

I was quote another you know Mel Gibson movie The Patriot you know hold the line from Braveheart It has to be right Is it? I mean old the Braveheart memes Yeah it's like hold the line

And they got the spears right And then they That's the thing Remember like that great scene Braveheart's a great movie Not as good If you watch it though Not as good as you remember probably

The older you get The more you realize Mel Gibson was He ain't Kubrick Um Whatever I mean, he's fine. But, like, he's a little,

and the Patriot is the worst movie in the world. What was my point? Oh, no, but, you know, but it's a cool movie. It's a cool movie, and there's a scene where they're all, like, just getting charged at by the cavalry. And, uh, at the last minute,

you know, hold the line. And they pull the spears up. I think that's what they're referencing. Oh, okay. Um, because I know I've also seen a variation that's hold the door. That's from Game of Thrones. Hold the door? I thought, but I thought it was a derivative of,

of that doesn't do with this though well there's memes of a big mentally compromised deaf kid well that's probably more accurate yeah hold the door yeah that really is a great point it should be hold the door just just confusion we're going to live the rest of our lives mentally hobbled um a bunch of zombies old you know was with warren coming after us uh yeah yeah no I think that tracks. Yeah. Apparently, did I finish that mental point?

Oh, but yeah. So can we, can we use that? Can we pull that drop for the Patreon at least? We can't play these clips on YouTube because YouTube doesn't want anyone to know what Mel Gibson used to do. Right.

It's just, you know, Google is in cahoots with Mel Gibson. But there's a great scene, not a great scene, but it's an idiotic scene, but a famous scene from me. Patriot, which is a revolutionary war, brave heart. And, uh, you know, Heat Ledger, the dead joker, the crass, I'm sorry, but, uh, you know, I'm not, I'm a child.

You're my child. And I, I want that to be the thing for Dodge coin, maybe. Can we like, can that, or, uh, that could work. I mean, Lucy, Lucy's bringing up, like, stocks. I mean, like, she's like, naked, and the other ones, naked. And I'm like, I mean, Nokia. Naked, BB. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Too many. But I'm like, you mean Nokia, because they famously, the other one was Nokia and Blackberry. Oh, BB's Blackberry? Yeah, Blackberry. Okay. But I guess I mansplained to you because I was like,

well, no, you mean Nokia. Not, no, you girl. But no, apparently, like, if you go deep enough on this subreddit, they're just bringing up naked. Naked is a Nokia for the ladies. Which is. I don't know. know what's going on with Nokia, I'm not here much. I don't know much here.

I'm, to be fair, I'm, you know, this is all based on how crazy we're all going to get together. If we're all just going to kind of, and look, based on the past few years in general, on both sides of the whole country, I think we might get a little crazy. So I'm, I'm into it. I mean, let's see what happens. I mean, not that I, yeah, I don't want to give anyone any ideas, but I kind of think it might already be happening. But it's like, you know, one of, I feel like one of the best ways to like cut the legs ever underneath this if you're like you know if you're acting her ban

ban ban if you're acting on the half of the short sellers is to just like why would you give people this information you're right I should shut my mouth shut there the people the men so bad the men with their hands on the levers of the financial

industry Steve Cohen the owner of the Mets took himself off Twitter for a while because of all the death threats the men who run this country i say men the men who run this country with behind the curtains the smoke and the whatever they're afraid don't don't let's not get if you we're going to the moon we're with you yes we're with you you keep that thought to yourself okay um you shut your goddamn

mouth the mouth of a woman is a deep pit Lady Macbeth. What is that? Were you quoting? I'm not even sure. I know I heard it somewhere. The mouth of a woman's a deep. Is that porn?

That's a bang, is that the bang bro's slogan? The mouth of a woman is a deep. That's going to be our, when you first come to the Patreon page, you know, usually people's like, hi, welcome to our Patreon. Thanks for donating.

Ours is going to be the mouth of women's deep pit and it comes to me welcome to cump um but's great i mean these guys i don't know they're all they're all great people on this subred i'm sure um they all you were telling me they were just very because again you spent um 18 hours and you know straight reading uh learning how much about stuff did you like how much investing in you done before this um none other than having like a very basic like a Roth IRA in the past having like you know right when I asked you because I'm not an expert but I asked you oh yeah like in a way of like I kind of heard a new at one point what is a wrought diary again you go oh I don't know

well look I kind of know I don't say like I have a raw diarrhea like unless you can explain with a raw just say you had a retirement fund work I had a wrong I had a wrought IRA? Well, look, it's commonly known to be like a pretty reliable way of, you know, I'm a pretty smart. I'm a pretty smart guy when comes to economics for an idiot. You know, for someone who, you know, makes no money and doesn't do anything. I'm, yeah, I'm pretty knowledgeable. And I don't know what it is. So, I mean, like, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure it's a thing. Yeah, you are, look, I would say you're more educated than the average person on this stuff. Sure.

This is not your year, Ray. This is my ear. Right. This is the year of the idiot. I'm cucking my way to the moon. I'm going to be dragged. Not kicking you screaming because I'm on the side of the angels here. Much like, for instance, an angel, Jordan Belfort, which apparently you were telling me.

Good man. The subreddit was very happy to have Jordan Belford, the Wolf of Walser, street uh on the side of the angels um a man always has been he said what he thought it's great that they're sticking into the hedge uh yeah he did he said something like the man who sold fake stocks yes it just and literally smuggled it to the money to sweden and uh just didn't you know just pumped them up with cocaine and quailudes crashed you know we just drive on quailudes and crash his car into children probably who knows

Was that slander? I mean, I'm just going by it based in the movie. In the movie, he blacks out thinking, and apparently he crashed his car into a tree. A child could easily be under that car. Yes. Oh, yeah, of course. I'm just saying.

Yeah. I mean, I famously crashed, not drunk, but I crashed to two federal agents once. So I'm not judging too hard. He stores Coke out of a pillow in that movie and punches his wife. He does punch his wife, right? Yeah, but he's a good guy, apparently. Great guy.

Great guy. Great guy. It's fine. I mean, a lot of Musk is, it's all, nothing is real anymore. And I like that. But you're still supposed to like, look, no, don't hate anyone. Don't make one to feel a bit. But the level, the combinations of, you know,

whatever you want to call cancel culture, where you're not allowed to call that anymore, even though everyone yells cancel, but it's fine. But that combined with like, oh, yeah, and every institution you ever believe in is fake. right um it's great i mean like no you could like from the from wall street from wall street collapsing under the weight of reddit to yeah you could just storm the capital if you want no one's gonna stop you the cops don't do anything it's like all it's wonderful um look just

enjoy that that's the thing that's the only thing is that the people who want to just kind of enjoyed the surrealness of it, they get labeled as kind of like, you know, fascists on some level. Not directly. Maybe it doesn't, they're not fascist target number one.

Right. But there is a thing of like, if you're just kind of a moderate, uh, centrist or whatever, who's like kind of just laughing at both sides, which is, look,

I get it, you know, don't shoot people. Uh, uh, I think people mean well, is my point. I mean,

you know, I'm just saying, I think people, on both sides. No, like, only Elizabeth Warren knows she's evil. The rest of them, all thing to do it,

but like, I'm just saying, like, it's so strange that, like, of all the times to not just be a disinterested observer, this is the time, when it's just, I guess I goes with the territory.

Yeah. It's just, it's so hard to, like, for me to, like, go, like, well, this is also, like, why let me just all kind of hash it out, like stop, you know,

no, pick aside. Right. Go, the, moon or you're going to get your family we're going to come and get your family put them in a big box full of knives shake up the box see if they let that's actually i should make a horror movie like that you think about that visual i just gave you i put it i put your kids in a box full of knives and i shake up the box oh oh that's narly yeah right probably wouldn't kill him though because like you i mean you wouldn't have to show it you just have to know what's in there and

then see him shaking the box yeah and that would be creepy yeah right oh boxman or no That is over That sounds really great What you call it box boy What's in the box I mean that would be a play You know We wouldn't be the first person to

First you know Film to What's to you know Garrishly rip off Another film's great line For the first title What's in the box Right

But uh What's that be a great That'd be a great poster for the movie It just says what's in the box and put it in the bottom of those just knives knives and children knives and a baby three knives and the baby this is look alon if you're going to be on our side anyway how about you invest in this movie mr musk mr musk we're all on the same team now please make this movie with me

if you truly want to prove you're a man of the people the richest man in the world could easily afford to make a film like this. All right, well, that was, so, you know, the next week, yeah, we might be on the moon. I might. I don't think I can even joke about, you know, killing myself. Can you? Yeah, I did last week.

I guess I blew up. This is where you're going to draw the line. I guess I blew the wad, though. It was not at no point making the joke anymore. Can I kind of talk about suicide? Yeah, so constantly. It's all you do. I probably, for someone who's, like, completely un-suicidal, that pool of people,

I talk about suicide the most, I think. Yeah. Because I really would never, just like, just blatant curiosity for like, maybe it gets worse. I wouldn't kill me. It's the most compelling thing in the world to think about. Yeah, right. You're not suicidal.

Especially if you're not suicide. Yeah. Because you're like, what if I did that? Yeah, I guess, yeah. Oh, I, the whole, what is it, French call, the call of the void or the, called the, yeah, the call of the void. Yeah, it probably sounds better than French. Maybe not. It just sounds like the word popcorn.

What's their word? What's popcorn in French? Is this going on, you know what I'm saying? I don't know. I'm saying, like, maybe like, I'm, I'm picturing some great eloquent thing, but maybe, like, it's like a one word thing. It just sounds like, sclood. sludge, I don't know. Yeah.

The word, the word, I mean, sometimes you get that. Sometimes there's things like, what does this word mean French? And it's like, you know, oh, it means the, like, oh, what is this word? And like, oh, that's the word we use for when you look at the, the, what's the train? The J train coming towards you and you think of curiosity about jumping in front of it. Oh, you have a word for that. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably not even as poetic as call of the void and Fred.

It probably literally translates. They just like, dead me likey. I jump train now. Yeah, but that's, there is a thing. There's a thing I'm like, what if I just jumped? I'm not depressed. What if I just ended it because I'm in so much pain? Well, if I put a stop, there's some bearable depression I have

by just, you know, killing myself with a gun. What? The call of the volley. um yeah why am i talking about this i don't know uh you were going to threaten to kill yourself if ely unless doesn't make your movie basically yeah i mean i don't even think that was what i was going to say but that that wraps it up i i endorse that it's not something you wouldn't say sure if you i mean i you know if they said that's what i said before i killed someone like if i was be under you know in a interrogation room with the cops and i blacked out unfortunately and they told me

i killed a man now i don't think i killed the guy doesn't seem like me they said well you said that you know you know right before you said it you said if a lot must doesn't make my movie i'm gonna kill myself i go oh god i did it didn't i do i did it i must have done it that that's me who else would say that um all right so yeah let's let's move just train along well um well um Suicide trait Well, you know I hope we do make it to the moon Because we could

We could fix this place up a little bit You want new socks Okay, we really need to get a fucking bored What? You did a good job, it's fine We need a bored I can't be that kind of guy I can't be the kind of podcast or whatever

Where it's like We're going to pretend to transition We have a list of broad list of like Just do we know we have enough stuff to talk about I didn't but I need to have a copy here I can't

I'm not your fault he did good but I can't be doing this oh and you want new socks though it's like it's like comics on leash yeah so

so Ray you want new socks funny you mentioned yeah um even now I even know I even though I even know I even though I'm Do you want to talk about the meat flies instead?

Stop, stop. You're going to ruin it all. I'll try to remember what the topics are. I can't do that. That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life. All right. But we'll come back to this. This talks are everything.

I'll bring it up because it's something I ain't thinking about doing. Teasing. For no purpose. There's no way it's no nothing. He was still here. It's teasing. But no, I want you to tell the people what you did. Well, first of all, tell them what you did.

Let's not play this game. I made a very common domestic mistake of leaving some fruit. Your baby in the fridge, yeah, sure. Tantamount to bat. I shook her baby to death. Yeah, it's a common domestic mistake. Yeah. Lucy enjoys her apples.

Yeah. immensely. And so much so that she left a few just, we have a, how do you describe it? It's like a basket that you screw into the wall. Yeah, we have a fruit. fruit basket and lucy just uh stacked a bunch of fruit on top of each other and it started to rot and i guess just smelled in bother lucy um and she just it just i finally found i had to go sherlocking around uh trying to find a source of this reek of smell because i noticed there

was fruit flies around why did her fruit flies but you live in a apartment in new york sometimes you know in the summer especially i've noticed the flies they're come from the basement and it's like you know there's only so much you can do we bought a buzzer from amazon you know what you call it that thing it broke after one fly got one fly and that broke um but though in in this case i can't blame in the basement because i found um a bunch is that is that the term for apples or a bushel it might have been a bushel of apples in a bag rotting much like when i was a kid we had crab apple trees like in my backyard, I had to mow the lawn,

and they would just be on the floor disgusting. It's what, I always say there's a difference between a summer decomp and a winter decomp, like a winter decom that you find, you know, someone who's a shut-in who died and their family wasn't around, or maybe they were abusive and deserved this treatment, whatever,

or not, but, you know, it's just, it's, look, there's a lot of pain in this country, we discussed this. so you kind of slowly rot and you kind of turn into a swamp thing looking like green and you blow up to twice your size with gas you're scrodom to be the size of a basketball

I kid you not with just the gases that's one way you have a decomposed thing but sometimes someone rots much more quickly in the summer sun and if you catch them before they go skeleton it's much like the apples that they found in our fruit basket this kind of, you know, red flesh with the flies.

That's what you did. Okay? Well, we're going to talk about the most disgusting things that someone is done. That's what you did. You brought the equivalent of a rotting corpse into our house. So, yeah. So I ordered some fly paper from Amazon, being the industrious boy that I am. Which is wonderful.

Yeah, look, it's a thing. If you don't know what it is, it's a sticky tape, basically. mate you know and it's just the flies come to it I think over time they start to come to it more because they recognize their friends at first you it'll take a while to get the first one and the second one after a while they started to be like oh it's up buddy oh fuck um but yeah but they weren't going for it and I had a gyro uh a gyro salad that I hadn't finished well first yeah you came up with an innovation that I actually thought was pretty clever Okay.

So I encourage this in part. Sure. Because you started putting sugar on the, on the... Right, I drew some sugar onto the tape. Onto the tape, which actually, like, I think it may have, you know, attracted more than we would have gotten otherwise. It may. It didn't seem to work that well.

It was all right, though. It's like, yeah, okay. If it worked, I probably wouldn't have escalated. But what I ended up doing was, look, okay, so I took a piece of the gyro meat and I attached it to the tape. And I took a piece of feather cheese and attached it to a different part of the of the fly paper I didn't know

I didn't know cheese was brought into the fetter on top I did see the fetta do you think we should do you think we should give away where we give this away maybe we need to give us

times it becomes a classic bit what is that who's bringing my bell go away ignore it figure our own way in do we order something doesn't matter this is some fan

this is a Lon Musk coming with Jordan Belfort trying to connect with you. So yeah, attached a piece of feather and a piece of Greek gyro meat. There are little squares of gray meat

just dangling off of the tapes. Well, the meat got a little gray over time. It's fine. And I'm pretty sure. And at that point, I think you're starting to you're starting to get a little bit. Now it's 50-50. Maybe the flies go for the meat and get stuck.

Maybe they're like, ooh, a piece of meat. Flies are very small traditionally. These are fruit flies. They're very small flies. So maybe you just land on the meat. You have a meal. You lay some eggs. No, I've seen them.

They land on the meat. And we've got more. They're just laying on the meat. You gave them like a platform. A wonderful meal and a fucking birthing bed for their eggs. Well, I don't know. they don't eggs and maggots they make maggots for their maggots yeah oh all right

if I start seeing maggots come out of the gyro meat I guess look so why didn't you say something I had no idea you had a problem with this until now I brought it up as a topic just because it's kind of funny it would be like trying to it would be like trying to chalk down a madman at that point you were on a mission

a doctor Frankenstein Well, look, I might have accused you of undermining me And basically insinuated It was your fault to begin with And yeah, you didn't really want to face that This is all your fault There are no heroes in this story Yeah, much like the, much like the Wall Street bets

There's no hero. In that case, there are heroes. We're on the side of the heroes You can't prove otherwise. Hold. Hold. What is it again? the door

hold the door hold the door so yeah what we're going to do about what you're going to do about what are you going to do about these flies I think fly paper is it that comes

automatically with some utility like this is a this is a proper you know invention that somebody made and it's effective I don't I don't think I don't think taping a whole buffet

A whole fly buffet to it is necessary If it was feasible to tape gyro meat In the production process they might But this is not feasible You mean you know it's gonna be rotten by the time you get it What does that do anyone? Yeah You know just like another project for Elon Musk

Just like Duncan Heinz You know they could add an egg to the cake Before it gets to you but you know Wouldn't be good No Wouldn't any good You know, they could, you know, put the chocolate milk together. I think they do do that, don't they?

They put the chocolate in the milk together. They ship it that way. I think some companies do. Well, you can't put gyrotein. You can't do that with chocolate and milk. You can't do that with fly paper gyro meat. I'm sure Elon Musk could do it. Well, look, Elon Musk, you got another task for you, right?

Find a way to attach space meat. Maybe that kind of space meat. Remember that space ice cream? Oh. yeah i do remember the space ice cream yeah it's kind of gross even just now i don't get freaked out by things but i do get that kind of cold like i'm thinking about bite uh maybe it's because i have teeth issues but biting to oh chalky oh i can't even think of it wow i would if i saw myself doing this i would punch me uh wow i'm i'm really having a visceral reaction trying to

even think about biting it to that ooh i need you teeth um imagine me just fucking just still trying to muscle through it though like oh god delicious fat pig just fucking breaking my like hit my own teeth or hammer so i can eat space ice cream prancing around in your in your new knee socks in space ice cream i don't have knee socks or here's it well let's get this straight now people are going to think i have knee socks i bought the same ankle socks i buy i bought three packs of i haven't bought new socks no while i bought three packs of new socks i bought three packs new underwear i threw all my old underwear and socks out so i don't have to go digging around for which ones the good ones and the bad ones um you know whatever i enjoy that luxury now for a while

i'm thinking this isn't this is the thing frank sinatra what why is it already i just really want to hear what you're about to say frank sinatra i've heard this anecdote before uh never wore a pair of socks morning once um and i and i first heard that i'm like what does he howard use uh because i don't know any other facts about it i just know that's for the case he just never wore a pair of socks one once he would throw him out right the garbage and i thought about you know it was like disgusted my i i always didn't want to hear about someone's indulgence like that you're like what a scumbic why who needs to do that but as i thought about it for like really quickly for one minute that was in high school probably or something when i heard this i'm like you know what

you're a rich guy new socks are nice they really they're more cushiony i mean if i had money i would totally do that and i think in that point in my life uh because i'm not rich not even close but i think i underestimated how much money you would need to do that now maybe you know sinatra is buying better socks than me that's possible but i think i could afford to buy new socks every day right now yeah a box a six pack of socks is like 10 bucks uh so that means that 18 wait hold on it would be look it would be more than i want to spend but you think about what neckbooks cost hulu costs um gyros that i buy and put onto fly traps um it's something attainable is my point.

What would it be like 20, like 50 bucks a month? Less than 50 bucks a month, which is stupid. It's a stupid investment. But I could do it. And like, look, I'm just saying, what does it do for you to have an indulgence like that? To say, I never wear a, because I can say that then. I could say I never wear a pair of socks more than once,

just like Frank Sinatra, by the way. And people go, what do you mean? You just throw them out. Just throw them out. Would you buy really cheap sock? No, reasonably price socks. I spend about $50 a month if you're curious with the price. Really?

Yes. Who do you imagine? Where do you imagine yourself having this conversation? And who do you imagine having it with? Like who's the person who's impressed by this? I picture myself next to a pool in the backyard at a barbecue. Not by a pool, probably. I spend all my money on socks.

But someone who's, I picture someone being incredulous, but subtly incredulous, and kind of like intrigued though. And maybe there's something to this guy. And I feel like it could get me rich and wealthy friends, powerful friends. Not right away,

but like that guy tells other people. I met this guy, fat, psycho, very aggressive, waves a knife around sometimes, spits a lot, pokes weird. Never wears a pair of socks more than once. Oh, I've heard Tenotra does that. Yeah, he mentioned that right away. Part of his old schick was bringing up to Nantra over and over again.

But still, there's something about this guy. Maybe we should give him money. Maybe we should give him nice foods. and go strip clubs with him. And we're after, we have money. Why, let's cover his strip club fee. I can live high in a hog. You know, when you go out with rich people,

you just kind of go, I'm with him. What are they going to say? No, he's not. Yeah, look, because these are like, I'm just saying I could do something with this whole sock thing. So are you imagine that they're giving you money to like see where the. sock thing goes or are they just giving you money for being a cool guy who's bold and never

wears the same socks twice okay maybe i have to combine it with like so i'm talking and i'm holding court about the socks uh with a bunch of people and i let it suddenly drop one point by the way i'm really broke really thinking about killing myself just sure not even depressed just purely because i'm financially in dire straits um so yeah so natural also did this by the way with the socks and I guess they would probably go why you just stop you know wasting your money on socks they go that's how good the socks are fresh socks every day I'd rather be dead in front of my children I'd rather my children find my body with my head blown off on Christmas morning instead of presents than to wear a pair of socks worn it once and uh well they admire they admire

the commitment, the follow-through. They admire, I think, the irrationality of it. The kind of eccentric, like, yeah, that's his line in the sand. He, you know, not his livelihood of his children, the socks. They get that. People who succeed have to be a little bit like that, so they'll get it. You might not get it because you're off letting apples rot

and blaming me for the solutions I come up with. But these people, powerful rich people what's your counterpoint well i'm sure how you're going to belittle my dreams no i look i i do think you're right that they they probably they probably do like the kind of bold material they probably would respond to the the bold materialism of like i'd rather my kids starve Right. Than degrade myself by wearing the same pair of socks two days in a row. I agree.

Or even within a week of each other. A week. I mean. There's a, yeah, I think there's a logic there where it's like, it probably would be intriguing. Yeah. Once they found out the financial dire straits you were in. They'd want to help. They'd want to help.

Yeah. You know, by the way, I've lost a lot of money on stocks. Not, not stocks involved with this Wall Street best, other stocks. They stupidly bought. You know, I try to have smart to Wall Street best boys. And you know how that goes. You're on the wrong side of history if you do that. And I am.

My only issue. I could really use some money. But these socks, by the way, try the sock thing out. It is great, but I could really use some cash. My kids are starving Literally I haven't fed him in weeks They might be dead

You want to come to my place And see my kids are dead This is an interesting I can't bear to look I mean I can't get to go in their room They might be can you help me Can you do as a friend Just look for me

I can't stand to see him like that Peek your head, didn't we're friends We're friends now come on I know you're telling people about me using me some kind of oddball. This is the price you pay for that. This is an interesting turnabout for you because you were just earlier today insisting. Right now, look, obviously, you never want to end up in a situation where your family might end up having to move out of their home or like spend a few nights camping out in the car. But you were insistent.

Well, we watched a big short. we're just a financial kick this weekend uh we watched i watched too big to fail on friday we watched the big short yesterday um it's been wall street week we watched wall street this morning yeah um and i saw that the family if you've seen the big short the guy that they when they first go to florida you know steve carell's team they go see that guy and he's like i've been paying my rent is my landlord not paying my rent like you should talk to him you should at the end of the movie after all the financial collapsed you see that guy and he's we couldn't tell it first if he had his family to have to move them and the car was packed or they were living in the car and i think i was being

pretty callous and i just said i would never let my family live in the car but not because i love them what did i say do you remember you said i was like well you know it's because i was i was saying as a counter are you oh right i was like well what you know what if it's between that and being on the street what you'd rather them sleep in a car for a few nights but I told you I had a plan that's right because I have a plan and involved

kid I don't know if it's kidding I would have to shoot a pregnant woman in the face I would go to a pregnant woman rich pregnant woman and I would have to like hold her up for money

instead of letting my kids die and then you said you kept going oh you go to jail and I didn't want to lose the argument so I said I would shoot the pregnant woman and then well you know you're going to kill a kid?

And I was like, well, I'm not going to kill the kid. I'm not going to shoot the kid. I'm going to let it, you know, might die on its own. It might definitely die on its own. For a second, for a second, I was so confused by that, that I thought you were saying that you were going to hold on to the pregnant woman until the baby was born, maybe even assisted. What, like this is Ryan Philippine's wave the gun?

So that you could then kill her without killing the baby. But no, you're just like, I'm not, I don't accept direct response. for that baby's death. Right. Well, look, you kind of forced the issue. Because all I was saying is I would just rob a rich pregnant woman. And you go to jail and you had no confidence. I was so annoyed you had no confidence in my ability to rob a pregnant woman.

Look, I would wear a mask, but whatever. But I was just, my gut reaction was like, fine. I'll kill her then. And there's no witnesses. I just didn't understand why it had to be a pregnant woman. Because they're slower. Considering that doing pretty much anything untoward towards a pregnant woman is probably like particularly stigmatized. Unless you give them an abortion.

Am I right? Am I right? Ladies, am I right? I wasn't casting aspersions on you as a thief. I think you could be a thief if you wanted to. Well, you know, stick up, a strong arm thief. But you insisted that. wrong on thief against pregnant women.

I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm going to steal like something to go to Hope Diamond. I'm not a jewel thief. I'm not a cat burglar. But I think I could, like, you know, shove a gun in a pregnant woman's face and get away with it.

But why not just a person's fit? Why not just any person's face? I mean, the odds of a pregnant woman be able to do jitzy wami, for instance. It's lower. Even if they know it, harder. Right. Because I feel like, I feel like,

you know, even like, you know, who's the one who's the champion? The woman champion Right now? Yeah I'm not sure Whatever Why don't people watch women sports

I did a video on her though I forget Doesn't matter Point is her If she's pregnant She's gonna be like I could This fat fuck I'll triangle choke him Arm bar is fat arm

Make them hurt But like I got this bait So maybe I won't do that. And that hesitation, I'll take advantage of the hesitation to, because she was, I wouldn't even have the gun at that point. I'd just be like, hello. And she's already thinking about, you know, doing jiu-jitsu on me. But that moment of hesitation where she's like, I got a baby to worry about.

Gun comes out. And then I, you know, it's like, now if she wasn't pregnant, kicks me. Is that jiu-jitsu kicking? Now, so in the world you live in. And it is, there are the only two types of people. who exist is there are pregnant women. Yeah. And there's everyone else who are all trained martial artists.

They could very well be. You never know. You never know. You get to a road rage situation. You never know if this guy is some, like, look, there's how many guys in UFC? Millions? Probably closer to thousands, right? Maybe hundreds.

I don't know. But how many guys are trying to get in the UFC? And some of them might be better fighters than me. These guys were all just maniacs with Roy, rage they were kept out of UFC because it's roids and then what do you think they go work at wall street some of them but you know some of them you know I end up in road rage situations with me so I got to be careful because like I'm not afraid of people but that guy might have the upper hand on me I guess that's true so but a pregnant woman less likely I suppose that's true though

do you remember the other group of people who you insisted that it would be a good idea to rob I don't. It was, I believe, pregnant women is number one. Number two were. Oh, the police. The police officers. Look, maybe the last people expect them to get robbed. That, honestly, that is a good point.

Thank you. They have the guard down because who's going to rob the cops? Me. Boom. If you did that and you pulled it off, you know, you could be the next big guy. Like, you could be the next Jesse James. Look, I get away if it this way. I would set the entire block on fire as an arson to rob one cop's house.

So it's like, look, I'm not the most skilled. But, like, I'm trying to feed my family here and keep him out of a car. Keep them from living in the car. That's what you feel to understand. You reduce to a pregnant woman? Not at the moment, because we don't have kids. And I'm not like above, we're not above living in the car if we have to. We're doing okay at the moment.

But I'm not going to, you know, go strong-arm, rob a pregnant woman for us to not live in the car, but not my kids. I mean, what do we do? Whatever happened to taking care of your kids in this country? This used to be a, this used to be a country where if I brought to, said this, people would call me a hero. And now I'm not a hero. I'm some kind of villain because I burn down an entire block of houses. Maybe, maybe the government doesn't want me to burn an entire block of a house. is down they should have done something to keep me in the house okay see this is exactly what the

wall street bets crew is fighting for right this is the image of america they're fighting right their heroes but somehow this is not right we have to be at nothing else consistent that you know for your right to commit insane acts of chaos incarnate for the children for the children yeah I think so I just never Yeah Yeah I mean

What would you do I mean look I would probably Let them drink gasoline out of the fucking I could see myself I could see myself panhandling I could see myself committing I could see myself doing illegal things

I could see you getting a big straw The biggest straw I've ever seen in my life And go hey kids Why don't you drink out of this gas tank this is your life that's just like oh bomb i'm bored why don't you put your mouth on the muffler see what that feels like we're all going to take a long nap now maybe we'll just be this is my impression of lucy uh you'd be a kid and say something something that you know to the effect of like why we live in the car mommy why do we have to live in the car well maybe i'll park it inside and leave it on

And then we all, then I'll tell you. I'll park inside a small garage and leave it on. And then you'll know. By the way, my name is Lucy. Let's be clear. There was Lucy saying that. That's weird because it sounds exactly like something you would say. It couldn't be because I was out putting a gun in the pregnant woman's face.

Trying to keep this family together. Because I know, I had that countdown clock in my head, like, I got to do whatever it takes because Lucy's going to put these kids in the garage real soon. No, to be full disclaimer, I've never thought that Lucy or you, but for the people out there, Lucy, was ever someone who would kill her own kids. Thank you. It sounds so much worse when you clarify that. Is she?

I have no reason to think that. I have never seen any evidence in the affirmative or to the contrary. I have no proof that she would do that. But yeah, was there anything else you want to, you know, awkwardly transition into? I thought the last one was pretty good. Which one? I thought the last transition was pretty good. You didn't even seem to notice.

I just, but I still clarified that like what it was. it's just i look it's maybe it's to me i can't uh you know go out in a date and just pretend like i don't want to fuck women um i can't uh that's a weird thing i'm not good at like the fake thing yeah i'm not good at like being the fucking networking guy like oh yeah let's talk i'm i'm not smooth like a butter knife uh whatever i'm just saying like i have to be real i mean some might think that you do it you try to make a habit of it habit of it so it becomes more natural over time but you would like us to have a board do you want maybe we should just do this podcast and tracks what we should just have a track we should

release an album for each podcast and each part of the podcast has its own little track like vinyl we can name them you're describing like a weird this is like mpr will only just distributed on vinyl. This could be a new business model. I mean, what's the new word for hipsters? Just scum? Kamala Harris's daughter? Whatever.

You see this Twitter world seems to be posting these pictures of Kamala Harris' daughter, stepdaughter. You've seen these? Oh, are people posting pictures ever? Yeah, she's wearing bizarre clothes. They signed her as a model. This is the worst kid I've ever seen in my life. Oh, that's strange.

Like, now, like, post. post-inaguration they signed her as a model? Yeah. And people are then like, no good. It's the whole gamut of course now because people are like, this is celebrating, it's a different kind of model. And then the other people are like, well, she's a rich white girl.

It's not. Which is fair, but like, but it's also she's not fat. She's not this. And it's like, but also this kid's the worst. So I don't know who decided to be on anywhere. It's like, it's just like, can we just. No, most models have actually had like, most models, like, even of the ones who make it

like they might be like some of the more like honest success stories they're just like getting you know they come over from like Romania and there's that one guy who's like fucked with and then like you know one day they make it they make it to you know the eighth spot on America's next top model and they're they're good

didn't that guy with the nice eyes bludging some children or something and then they became a model wait what it was that like criminal model wasn't he like he was a it was his bunch shot famously like he had piercing blue eyes and he became a model uh yeah that guy right oh is that it look look at the second picture in the box yeah look no look oh this guy oh wow beautiful yeah it's beautiful guy

he's a mugshot and uh that can't be a real mugshot that's too well lit it's not that you put a ring light on the camera and we get that yeah so that looks a little bit more realistic he does have piercing blue eyes all right why don't you go you know what's his What'd he do? Oh, he just Well, I don't know. All of a sudden, it's fine to put a gun in the pregnant woman's face.

That's fine. That's fair play. When James Meeks does it. All right. Well, this has been fun. You know, we're going to see you guys next week and hopefully we don't have a horror story to tell. Hopefully, you know, it's going to be like the end of the big short.

We're going to be pulling. chairs out of golden sacks we're gonna be wearing diamonds oh man we're wearing we're wearing we're wearing if we're wearing like a sweeping robe of diamonds imagine the things we'll buy just socks just tons of socks um yeah no but uh follow lucy at the steinbag on twitter and instagram you can follow me that rakemp uh sign up for the patreon uh five dollars a month gets you an extra episode every week uh the comp dumped here the $20 tier you got an extra video episode uh once a month that's coming uh this week i believe we're doing it but yeah it's a whole this the age of comp uh content
