before we talk about this, Adam, I think you go way back on this podcast, no? Is this a sentimental moment for you? Is this an emotional, your guy, I see you, cry a lot in your office, you do talk to those guys. This is, look, you know, they say that it's not about the destination. It's about the journey. And I remember we started with podcast one. It was before it was even the PPD podcast.

George, can we lower the audio a little bit? Are you guys allowed on yours as well? Or is it just me? Is it seems like a little echoey or no? Little echoey, okay.

Perfect, much better. So Adam, I think one of the most common questions everyone's asking me right now, from all over the place, people around the world want to know, how was that cat convention? It was last week? Was it as memorable as it was the inaugural cat conference? I mean, Drod, you were gonna

come with me, but you elected to stay here and work on, you know, your special project. There'll be a lot of put there and there. Problematic situations, I think we're going on. But look, some people are dog guys, some people are cat men. I'm the cat daddy, so it worked out well. Was it what you expected though? Was it impressive? It was actually way too many men at the cat conference. Can you tell by the way, a bunch of super chats coming in,

My mom, who calls me a hundred times a day, genuinely asked me, look at the full record I was at a business conference in Dallas, I can't,

I can't leave. But like, they've been young to clarify. My mom got what's great. No one believes them now. No one told me this. My actual mom is like, what are you doing at a cat conference? I don't know. You go to these things.

Yeah, mom, I'm at a cat conference. You're an embarrassment. So she's been, yeah, exactly. You're an embarrassment. I thought you were gonna be a rabbi, and now you're a cat conference boy, okay.

By the way, some people are putting 99. Those are guys who are in sale. Okay, so today only. All right, so here we go. The stories that we got. First of all, we got a cover of what's going on with Meta, Facebook, Absolute Insanity because world is about to change.

Dramatically, it's about to change. We're probably going to talk about that a lot. American Shrink and Work a puzzle for economists a math teacher This is Adam's favorite story is hosting his lessons on porn hub. Yeah, to market his tutoring services for college students That's how we found out about the story Adam was looking at some of his courses and then he said let's add this to the story Scotty Pippin confirms his furious what Michael Jordan can't have a last dance Shack had a message for his kids, he says, kids, I'm rich, we're not rich. Nice.

Coca-Cola buys full control of audio, I'm here for $5.6 billion in its largest ever brand acquisition. I think paying out Kobe $400 million then or did a story on that on VTPost.com. SIGARETS sales increased in 2024 the first time in two decades. I thought that would have never happened It still make those cigarette sales increased for some of the last 20 years

Fantastic whatever you guys did is much better now Last night obviously with the governor Republican Glenn Youngkin who won the Fita Terry McCallum McCallum in a high-stakes Virginia governor election, we got a lot to talk about there. I know you got stuff to say about that. Gerard's got stuff to say about that. Marine veteran, Winsom Sears gave one of the best speeches,

becoming the first female and woman of color elected as Virginia's lieutenant governor, Murphy inches ahead in Jersey's tight governor race, which Gerard is very happy about. Former NYPD Captain Eric Adams elected mayor of New York City, outrage at 400 VIP jets converge on glass cow for global warming summit. What an incredible noble people that show up in their private jet.

Pilot under investigation for saying, let's go brand. And you know, I still don't know what let's go brand. I don't know if you guys know or not. I still don't know what it means during announcement. South Los Airlines says, Treasury sector, Secretary Yellen breaks with Biden and says Democrats should consider lifting debt limit without GOP help. I don't want to play chicken anymore. And she promises $2.8 trillion on spending proposals.

We'll push inflation down. Biden reportedly pooped his pants at the Vatican. We don't know if this is confirmed or not, but Gerard has some sources that says this may have been pretty accurate. We'll have him share that story with us. Elon Musk warns Austin, Texas not to become like a copycat, liberal city, and California city considers offering the highest minimum wage in the nation.

Can't survive it. And in that burger in Florida, see if we're trying to entice them from coming, leaving California to come to Florida. And I had some comments on that. And Fortnite is shutting down in China. We may even talk about China, it's constructing 300 possible missile silos,

which could make its nuclear arsenal bigger than Russia or America. Having said that, let's get into the first story. The first story is, cigarette sales increased in 20, 20, 20, for the first seven, two decades. If you want to go to page four right there, I'll repeat this, too, and I will get into it. Rick, I'll come to you first seven two decades. If you want to go to page four right there, I'll repeat this too, and I will get into it.

Rick, I'll come to you first with this one. Secret sales increase in 2020 for the first seven two decades, more Americans bought secrets in 2020 according to a report by the Federal Trade Commission. The increase happened during the pandemic stressors, such as a pandemic lockdowns, remote learning, and stay-at-home lifestyles may have contributed to the increase in tobacco purchase.

According to the report, manufacturers sold close to billion more cigarettes in 2020 compared to 2019. SIGARETTE USE isn't the only thing that increased the use of e-sigarets and vape pens increase in 2022 between February 2020 and March 2021. e-sigredt sales increase from almost 15 million to 22 million units. Ricky, what do you got to say about this? You know, I have a buddy of mine that's a smoker, right? from almost 15 million to 22 million units. Ricky, what do you got to say about this? You know, I have a buddy of mine that's a smoker, right?

He's been a smoker for 10 years, and he went from smoking one pack a day to smoking two packs a day, because of the stress he was under during in 2020. Because he got laid off, you know, and all that. So that's one. And then, you know, we're all human. Naturally, I think in 2020, or I'm sorry, 2020, I had seen the e-sigarettes.

I had never really paid attention to them. And somebody had them, they're like, oh, it's like cigarettes, but it's not cigarettes. Right, I don't know, I don't know. It has to back when in. And that's the first time I had ever been like curious about it because I'm a smoker, you know? But even a person like me, I'm pretty,

I feel like I'm pretty strong-minded. You still, you try to find like a source to, and I have, you know, I have ADHD and I have a minorities, so it's a bad combination. So you're always trying to find a way to relieve stress. So I totally can see apart from seeing the first hand with my friends and their smokers, doubling their smoking habits. Even myself, I'm like, huh,

oh, because yeah, told me the person that told me that he said he was like, it helps your relieve stress. And I said, wow, that sounds like a good idea, but obviously, you know, oh, because he had told me the person that told me that he's cigarette, he said, it helps you relieve stress. And I said, wow, that sounds like a good idea, but obviously, you know, didn't go down that route, but just the idea that is spart, just the spart itself, I'm sure that out of those billion new cigarettes, not all of them are former smokers,

I'm sure a lot of them are new smokers that picked up the habit during the pandemic from the stress. Let me ask you a question, all of you guys here. How many of you guys, at no names, how many of you guys know a lot of people that smoke cigarettes? Do you? Do you know a lot?

Yeah. Well, especially most people smoke cigarettes that I know, they smoke cigarettes after they're drinking. You know, you have a couple of drinks in you, you go ahead outside, you have a dart, you know what I mean? And that's how it goes. That's how you know you smoke some cigarettes. Let me get a dart.

I'll get a dart. You get a dark. Never heard that. So the, yeah, the, the, I've heard that before. The, yeah, so you don't like wake up in the morning, like, you know, in the movies and you pop on, I mean, you have in a couple drinks, and what did everybody do every day

during the pandemic? They got, they got drunk. Everybody got drunk every day during the pandemic. Well, maybe not down here because we've discussed is that length that you guys really weren't All your friends in New Jersey were just getting drunk at home. Yeah, we were literally on house arrest There was nothing else to do the only things that were open were fast food restaurants and liquor stores That was literally all that was you come down to Florida. You lose 50 pounds literally there you go like I

Stay here Ricky other stay count You don't ask for the helps last name I'm learning I'm learning over drivers last days. Do you know go? Zero the Minges Yes, you drive Uber every single day. Not these days, I'm borrowing. How many Uber drivers last name do you know? Zero, and they don't tell you their last name. Two Uber's this year. How many Uber's have you taken? Can you name probably five Uber?

The only way to do this is to schedule Uber. By the way, with the cigarettes, I know more, I literally know more people who have quit smoking than I know people who actually smoke. I'm with you. I don't know anybody that smokes. I'm with you. I don't see him smoking in the bars.

California probably has a lot of fewer smokers. Here's the interesting thing about this, right? The pandemic caused this, like Gerard said, 100%. It's the reason people are smoking more. But after you get that little buzz, it actually increases your anxiety and your tension. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, are you saying smoking is bad for you?

No kidding, right? Here's the other fascinating thing about this. That smokeless tobacco. That's the two-packs of day part, right? Smokeless tobacco increased from one hundred and twenty six million pounds to one hundred and twenty nine million pounds. They're measuring this. That's a lot of skull bandits. Yeah, that's amazing. By the way, I was in a gas station last week and I saw two people back to back come in and

order chewing tobacco and buy it. That's another thing you never seen in the South. Even baseball players. I was in Florida. Right when I was leaving town. I had a 15-year leave-out Garrett habit for sure. Did you? I would imagine if you played minor league baseball for sure. In the order fields and the little fields chewing tobacco, Copinghankin's like, God, music has smoke close to the well-hid, so they don't get it. Gerard can probably back to stuff because you and I are probably on the ones who hit the bars these days. These Jen Zeeers out there 18 21 25, whatever that age bracket. The vape is nonstop.

I'll look at a bar and they'll be like boom, boom, just vapin. Remember that? Remember back in the day, there would be a club and a DJ would drop the beat and then smoke would come out everywhere. Yeah, of course. Of course. That nonstop is not that hard. Is it illegal to show smoking in movies? Can you not do that anymore?

I don't know. I'm not kidding? Can you not do that anymore? I don't know. I mean, maybe. I never see it anymore. It's so funny you watch all school shows. There's a stat here that they didn't show, because truth is done a very good job of getting people to stop smoking. But there's someone out there that has been probably the biggest catalyst into smoking.

And that's Matt Sipala. This guy makes people smoke cigars left and right. I don't throw cigars in the middle. I don't throw cigars with the Money Smart Guy in six months and in ten years. Shout out to Matt Spall, he may call me. Don't show it yet. Don't go down to the bottom. Okay, question for you. Price up a pack of cigarettes today. I'm going to go to the state.

I'm going to ask you by state. I'm going to ask you by state. If you guys stop interrupting each other, it would be a bit of a good. All right, here we go. Give me the price of cigarettes in New York City. One pack. 12 bucks. No. American spirits would probably be like 19,

between 19 and 21 bucks. Okay, so it's, by the way, wow. The fact that you know the number concerns me a lot about just 12.85. Okay. Okay. Price of cigarettes, a pack in Illinois 1150 Massachusetts 995 you can show now Kai

Alaska's 979 Vermont 960 to Hawaii 955 Connecticut 950 to Washington 930 Rhode Island 895 Wisconsin 8 82 for pack of cigarettes if you're smoking two packs of cigarettes a day in California You spend 16 dollars a day you're spending of cigarettes a day in California. You spend $16 a day. You're spending eight bucks a day on cigarettes. Here's one rule I have. I'm just gonna offend some people. I don't do business with people who smoke cigarettes.

I just don't. Simple as that. You come to my house. How long does it take to smell cigarettes? How long does it take to smell cigarettes? It's on their clothes. If I sense it, I am buying. I have a very simple rule.

If I sense it, I'm not buying cigarettes. The smell to me is something. Shaking hands, when you shake hands with somebody, that hand, that, that, that, that, you cough. You go like this, it's in your head and in. Have your head incident where you're gonna do business with somebody and you said,

sorry buddy, if I tell you 50 times, that's a small number. 50 times, you said. That's a small number. But what do you mean, what type of business? Like a new, any, anything you're selling me, anything you're doing with me, I'll have the conversation, I'll say, can you tell me why you smoke cigarettes?

Everything has a reason. Smoke and cigarettes doesn't have a reason. Why do you drink alcohol? Okay, you get a little bit tipsy, maybe it gives you a little bit of a buzz. Fine. That liquid courage. Smoke and weed.

Okay, fine, smoke and cigarettes. There is no argument on why anybody should smoke cigarettes but here you go 2020 or get a supported stress even the French so you're not doing it business with anybody that's really do surprise me because it's just me I'm okay let me just say this story it's already too late anyways so I'm dating a former miss I'm not gonna say the state. So we're dating, this was a few years ago. And we're going out, one day we're going out, we kiss. That was the last time we kissed.

Cause you smoke cigarettes. Last time you went out, I'm sorry. I cannot do that. If I, if I have any smell with cigarettes, I can do it. To me, I can do it. Now, you may call it a weakness, call it judgment, say I judge people, whatever you wanna call it, I cannot do cigarettes, by the way, another pet peeve.

Coffee stains, you guys know what coffee I work. You have no idea for me to even think about that thing sitting right there, it's two inches away from dropping a coffee stain, okay? Everything to me with coffee cigarettes, it's a, some people may call it crazy a little bit, you know, I ran sales offices for 15 years without letting coffee in there.

Mario and the guys, Mario can tell you the story. At a sales office, and, and, and, by the way, if you were in the Grenada Hills office, you're listening to the podcast, you can post it in a comment section to verify this, or if you were in Northridge, you can verify this. Guys would put their coffees outside the office, like literally the doors here, the coffees would be lined up, ten of them here. They could be outside, but they could be inside. Anyways, I have something about cigarettes and coffee.

It is what it is. Maybe I'll start drinking coffee at a coffee. Yeah, pan, I can relate to that though. I mean, because that takes you out of your zone. Because if you got three people doing it, it's the same thing with me with people chewing gum. I can't deal with it. I freak out.

Everyone in my zone drinks coffee. My wife loves coffee. My dad loves coffee. My sister loves coffee. My own kids say, mom, can I have a sip of that coffee, right? Me? I'm good. Did someone spill hot coffee on your lips?

No, there was a stain. There was a stain. There was a stain at the Grenada Hills office that I would have to look at every single day when I came in. I can't deal with stain. By the way, you know who drinks more coffee than anyone I've ever seen in my life?

Who? Our friend Mario. This guy used to go 10 cups It'd be it'll be midnight and he's ready for bed is like can I get a cup of coffee to go? It's insanity Matter-fac-no, why don't we do this? Why don't we do this? What is the best coffee machine? Out there tell me what the best coffee machine is easy pull it out so what's so no? Give me a coffee machine to buy how much is a coffee machine? What's a 300 can you pull up pull up a coffee machine?

You can go find my show. What is the best coffee machine? This is what happens when you put this out there be careful with your choice Because back in a bite. It's this press. Oh tell me what it is. Press What's the best coffee machine? You don't like this press? Tell me one of the best coffee machines Give me I'll give you some of a reason why because the caps are inexpensive and it's good coffee not curing No, friends press man.

Okay, let's continue to congratulate Jason. Next, next story, next story. Let's talk about Scotty Pippen Confirmcy's furious with Michael Jordan after the last dance. Out there, how dare the goat offense Scotty. So Scotty Pippin confirmed his theories with Michael Jordan after last dance USA today's story. Pippin said it was challenging for him to see Jordan constantly glorify while he and his teammates were not

given nearly enough praise for their contributions to the six title runs while Pippin said he wasn't surprised at the depiction. And he felt it would have been naive to expect anything different being demand the mean once again was brutal because it was Insulting enough when it happened in real time beyond the journalistic integrity that vanished when the producers gave Jordan editorial control of the final product Pippin also felt physically slided as well to make things worse Michael received $10 million for his role in the doc While many teammates and I didn't earn a dime another reminder of The pecking order from the old days

for an entire season, we allowed cameras into the sanctity of our locker rooms, our practices, our hotels, our hudders, our lives. What do you have to say about this? What's Scottie Pippin? Look, Scottie. Let's take a lesson here, bro. Back up, know your role.

Do you understand that he is now one of the greatest duos of all time? Not because he was a top 50 player. MJ is the goat, the goat. I don't think there's any question of that. Now he feels slided, he's coming back, he feels fiscally slided. Scottie, I know he's dealing with a lot with his wife,

Larza, he feels like he's, you were looking to maybe buy in his house at one point. We looked at his house. It's actually nice house, the basketball court on the right side. Yeah, look If I'm Scotty Just stay in your lane, bro. You don't want to make waves with MJ This is not the direction you want to go with the legacy of your career now

He's fighting with Isaiah Thomas. You see why Isaiah Thomas had to say about Scotty because Scotty was talking trash about Isaiah About not making the dream team Isaiah says look. I'll take it from MJ. I'll take it from You know Hakeem or what you know the all time. Scotty, know your role, bro. And this is just basically overstepping. You know what I'd want to hear. Here's what I'd want to hear. If anybody has this and then we'll go to the rest of them, does anybody have an argument to say that Scotty's got a point? Does anybody have an argument for Scotty? I want to hear that. Go ahead, Tom. I have a unique perspective because I was there for every day of the last dance.

For those three. Literally. I was there every day. I was in the middle, everything that was. You watch every game. Yeah, I was at every practice. I worked at NBC as the sports anchor from 1995 to 1998. What people don't know about Tom's ever was.

I was like, I was the one who beat Afro. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no key doesn't want to tell who he really is. No, I'm tell us every single second of the last dance. Rodman's parties. We hosted a show with Dennis Rodman every Sunday. And we can do a whole show and I mean, just giving you Rodman stories. Now, Scottie's brand is exactly like it was back then. It's bitterness and it all stems from money, right? It's all about money with Scottie Pippin.

He knows he got screwed over as a player. He knows how great of a player he was. Everybody knows how great he was. It's years on that first conference. Seven years, $18 million. Time out though. He didn't get screwed. He signed a bad deal. Well, yes, he did, and he knows it. But here's the other thing with Scottie. Here's the other problem with him. He hasn't evolved into a second act, right? So everybody else is an analyst, is an executive, is just a personality, is an analyst, is an executive, is just a personality, an owner of a team, a coach, Steve Kerr. Everybody is somebody, he's still sitting

in that rocking chair, whining about the old days, and he's bitter, the wife has something to do with it. Remember back in the day, his nickname was no tipin', no tipin', pippin'. There was always something about him, he always had a chip on his shoulder, that helped him become a great player. No tipin',ipping meaning never tip.

He never tipped the reputation of Chicago was Michael also had that reputation for not tipping. No, I don't think Michael had that. Michael was generous. You know, the Barclay interview with him in Oprah Winfrey where Barclays like how cheap Michael is. You don't remember that like that. Okay, but I think what he was talking about is not paying back gambling debts or something

you know, or maybe not paying for a meal. But Scottie had that reputation. So look, he is, he's not going to change because nothing from his past is going to change. He's not all of a sudden going to make more money. He should, he, he, he controlled his own destiny, even with the last dance. That show would not have been the same without him. He should have said, I want something for participating. And I guarantee you one last thing.

This story says Michael Jordan made 10 million for the last dance. He would made way more than that. All right. With the success of the last dance. He made way more than that. All right, with the success of the last dance, Michael did not leave a dollar. 10 million to Michael, first of all. Right, and he got to just salty at this point. I think he asked what he's just like, I can't see that in the documentary. He's bitter and it's all about money and you can kind of understand that because you realize

guys right now make $18 million a month. Well, the worst story in the last dance was the episode where basically he refused to go into the game. He wanted the shot. Tony goes in the shot in the game winner. And that's Pippin's legacy. As great of a player as he was, you can call him one of the best duos. The Robin to MJ Batman. He's still the guy that was too salty to go into the game. Let me ask you, let me ask you question. Let me ask you question. Here's a question for you. I dropped that thing if you don't mind picking it up.

Here's a question for you. Question for you is the following. Okay. How many people knew that Michael and Scotty won six championships together? How many people? Everyone. Okay, great.

Fine, just follow me with you. Okay, how many people knew Steve Curran John Paxson hit some of the last three pointers or the shots that they needed to win? Yeah, a lot of people. Everyone. Okay, how many millennials, Gen Z's, knew the Ku Khoch story with Pittman who didn't want to go in.

Zero. That's the point. And I think that if they, I think if they would have left that story out, this would have never happened, but it needed to be in there. I think if they left that story out, Scottie's not like this. This is the thing with Scottie, though, that he's not necessarily wrong. Luke Longley came out and did a whole thing about the last dance and how much they left out and how it was all about glorifying Jordan. Nobody cared because he's Luke Longley. And Horace

Grant was also a guy that was like, whoa, was I after thought I was one of the best players in the NBA on the first on the first three. I left for a max contract. So Horace Grant to me, they made him like a clown. Like somehow, you know, Rodman was one of my favorite players of all time. I have his jersey. You make fun of me from wearing it around. I love Dennis Robin. But they acted like Rodman came in and like saved the franchise. Horace Grant was an amazing player. So there was a narrative being formed around the fact that like, you know, this thing was falling apart and it had to get the right pieces and it was Jordan as a leader. I'll go get Rodman from Vegas

and stuff. Luke Longley said the reason Rodman was in Vegas is he was sick of Jordan's shit. So that's why he's like screw this. How many titles do those guys win with how Michael? It's so easy to pitch about it. No, it's Michael Jordan. Don't get me wrong, but Scotty Pippin is getting the... This is the side I want.

I want to hear this because the argument is so one sided with logic, but I want to hear this side to kind kinda hear it to, you know, listen to Luke Longley, Luke Longley said. I saw what he said. But here's the thing, okay, so here's the thing, let's just say, say Luke Longley goes and does a documentary. Let's go do a documentary or Luke Longley. How many people watch it?

A lot, not really. Okay, say Scotty goes and does a documentary. How many people watch it? That's the thing, he's gonna make a lot of money over this. So, you know, I watch it. Would you watch horse riding? I watch it for a split. I really would. Oh, by the way, I would watch Scotty Pippin's documentary.

But am I gonna spend five weeks of every Sunday night from 8 to 10 at my house sitting in the theater room watching it together? Texting everybody saying, do you see what just happened? Well, something that you always talk about Pat is... Scotty Pippin would be a good 34-30. He's not gonna be a five weeks of two episodes of me. Something that you talk about is that MJ has reached St. Status.

You can't, because not. He's not naming close. How often do you say that when you reach St. Status, like Rogan has reached St. Status. Dave Chappelle has reached St. Status. You can talk all the trash you want about these people. You're not canceling. No one's gonna lose, you know lose lower them on the totem pole.

But I think it's not even so much that he can't say anything about Jordan. Jordan played it when he was sick. Jordan played after his dad was killed. Scotty walked away, bro, we don't forget. You walk away from your team. We don't forget that. Don't go in there crying. Because I think that they can you imagine,

how do you not have done that? How many endorsements he would have got? Michael Jordan is worth $1.5 billion, and it's not from the NBA. And Scotty was missing the big picture, and he's still doing it now. Because not even that he did not negotiate in the last dash to make any money.

He's Ricky Redd, but he's always been horrible when I go say, what is Scotty's going without Jordan? What a Jordan win without Scotty. Okay, so let's go there. Let's go there what is Scottie with without Jordan? What a Jordan with without Scottie. Okay, so let's go there, let's go there. Let's actually go there. That's a good conversation. Let's go there. What Jordan had one without Scottie?

He won when Scottie had walked out. I've actually found the way to pivot because that's Michael Jordan. By the way, he's got a point. Couple games game seven, Scottie was like, I have anxiety, I have this, I have that. So, but the question is this, let's say, let's say Scottie,

that one season that he sits out, let's say Kraus, let's say those guys trade them, let's say they do. Does Jordan eventually win without Scotty? He never did, how would we know? I'll say he wins at least one without... Oh, it's not even a question. It's not even a question. It's not even a question. I say Jordan, without Scotty wins another three or four.

I'm not saying six, but I'm saying three or four. Okay, let's face it. If Phil, if Shack and Kobe could have gone along and Phil could have made it work and Carmelo never came to the Lakers, Peyton never came to the Lakers. Those guy never came to the Lakers. They kept a squad with the two main guys

with a couple of role players around them, Rodman type of players, defensive type of players. If they kept it that way, how many championships would have the Lakers won? I don't remember. A lot. Quite a few of them, right? Now, we obviously don't know the answer to the question, but here's a part. This is the angle I take.

So Gerard, think about when you and I are speaking off camera, okay, and we talk about branding, vision, story, future, right? What do you want to be? That one conversation we had two and a half years ago in the conference room, while we're writing all this stuff out on the board, you know what I'm talking about? Okay, sounds good. Who is that for Scotty? Who's sitting there with Scotty?

A good publicist saying, hey Scotty, I just want to have a conversation with you buddy. The route you're going, you're going to be the bitter player. That is not going to build a brand. I'm just letting you, you can do this, but I'm just telling you, let's rebrand skies. Let's have a different, at this conversation with a couple of other guys in the last few months.

The market thinks you're a dick. This is not a good look for you. If you want the market to change, you got to change your approach. You can be pointing fingers at everybody all the time. Scotty went that route. Scotty could have taken a route and said, my argument would

have been, Scotty, the more you edify Jordan, the more the market's going to say you're not a top 50, you're a top 25. The less you're more you undermine Jordan, the more you're top 100 because a big part of that attitude is unattractive. It's just unattractive. Not going to be ingratious as you age is a bad, bad look. To your point, I would find out exactly who did Mike Tyson's Rembrandt, and I would pay them everything. Marijuana.

Mike Tyson went from having a tattoo and threatening reporters on air to having a child's cartoon on a dull slim and being like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, America's crazy. What Tyson has been able to do is take a look at his past indiscretions and all the mistakes he made, embrace them,

face the truth and say, and own up to it and say, look, I don't even know that guy anymore. The stories he says on podcasts, I know you've interviewed him, you've had moments with him. Yeah. He's so real at this point and so inspiring that you can't help to love the guy who is probably was the baddest man on the planet Scottie is it take a less for Mike?

It's because that's the thing about Tyson. It's legit. He has that inside Yes, but I don't think Scottie has it. He's too bitter. He has to number one overcome that bitterness for anything to change Because because it's the way it's going right now. It's gonna get worse I think that's what I'm saying. Somebody has to grab him in the room. Somebody has to be there. Because it's the way it's going right now, it's gonna get worse. It's not gonna get better. Nobody is turned on by a bitter guy. Nobody is.

No one's turned on by that. By the way, even look at Barclay. Look at Barclay's resume. Actually look at his resume. Never want a championship. Never want a champion. He is a love. He never calls out everybody and he says his own shit.

He never ever want a championship. Probably one of the most beloved guys ever. He'll never be in the category of a champion, right? And the most Teflon person in America can get away with saying anything. Yeah. By the way, think about an analyst. By the way, when Scotty talks and he gives his analytical side, when he, I don't know which one it is TNT or not TNT,

he's on one of them when he does it. I sit there, I'm like, damn, I didn't even see that perspective and I'm not in the world, I felt like I went into the world. So Scotty could be one of those guys. The media and fans are not turned on by bitter people. You can't even one more point about that era of the bulls. And I think this is part of the problem for Scotty. There will never be anything like those bowls. Ever. There was never anything like it, you know, with no social media.

And they'll never be anything like it again with Michael. I think Scotty got caught between thinking, am I an icon? Or do I have to get another job? And I thought he was living off the fumes of the bowls aura for so long. And he didn't know how to monetize that. So then he was stuck in this little gray area and it stuck with him for 23 years. You know, it's. I'm trying to say that Scotty Pippin can't afford Gucci flip flops, I think.

Yeah. It's what the bitterness is coming from. You know, the fan base, they love humility and you're champions with humility become legacy. And I'm going to go to baseball for the side of the table because there's something I've always, always admired admired and it's 1988 World Series everybody talks about the Gibson home run, but who carried the team or all her size? He won the Saiyung that year. He broke down Dodge Dale's scoreless innings record at 59 pitch the shutout a game for and pitch the shutout gave for shut down

Shut the series off and all he has is praise and admiration for Kurt Gibson and that's how I got my ring and in Dodgerland and he's a commentator at the Dodgers, his status is elevating. He didn't have a long enough career to have Hall of Fame consideration but his status is elevating because he's giving praise to Gibson. He's giving praise to LaSorta. Everybody looks at it. You know what he could say? He could be pissed off and going down it. I won the Saiyung. I broke dry, dry stale's record. It was a 97 pitch complete game that he threw in the World Series.

Think about that by today's standards, 97 pitch complete game. He could be going down that and says, damn it. Why didn't I get the love? In a weird way, this brings it all back to Donald Trump for me. It's like, what made Trump amazing? He edified. It's great to be an American. You should be great.

I've loved being a part of this. We're winners. Let's get in together. And then he was bitter. Anybody says anything bad about him? I can see why your husband left you, you're ugly. Like, he couldn't stop. It's like, you can't just be like,

maybe Scotty feels this way. Pen-pen-pen-up, you like, look, man. You know what? I don't know if the last dance really told the whole story. There's some things you didn't just be like, maybe Scotty feels this way, pen, pen of you like, look man, you know what, I don't know if the last dance really told the whole story, there's some things you didn't learn, I'm gonna put it in my doc, love Michael, love the things that we did together, but there's another side story.

If you think big picture rather than like going for tat, instead of trying to win the battle, you know, look at the war, try to win the war. Right now he's going after, yeah, I didn't get this, I didn't get this, if he looks at the big picture, and if someone sat him down in the room and said, look, think about your legacy.

Think about what you want to be known as, not trying to win these little tippers at that. That's the key though, I really think. And you hit the nail on the head, as you age, like he's an icon, he's this, it's the people like that you start listening to, right? It's the person that has to be, like who can sit Scottie pipping down,

that he'll actually listen to him be like Scottie. Bro, cut the shit. You know what it is? Somebody has to say to follow. Somebody has to say, look, like even with kids or people you talk to, you know, hey, the other day Dylan's like, hey daddy, am I better than Sam Injetzki? No, you're not. You're not. He's way better than you Injetzki. I said, well, you're better than when I was eight years old on Jetzki because I've never freaking gone on Jetzki until I was my third. You know, but I said, you're better than me in Jetsky. I said, well, you're better than when I was eight years old on Jetsky because I've never freaking done on Jetsky until I was my third. You know, by saying you're better than me when I was eight years old. It's like, okay, I'm better than you. I gave you your soul, right? It's

somebody has to say, I don't know. Hey, Scotty, there's no Jetsky's in your own body. I'm just saying, I didn't know they ran. So I was rocking that version. So anyway, so somebody has to tell Scotty behind closed doors of Scotty. I love you. You're amazing. You ain't Michael I'm just telling you stop acting like you better than Michael and FYI Every time you edify LeBron to say he's better than Michael everybody knows what you're doing Everyone knows that's coming from an insecure place Stop it. Just like when Isaiah says LeBron's better than Michael. Isaiah. We all know your piss that you didn't make it on the dream team Everyone knows Michael's better than LeBron's better than Michael. Isaiah, we all know your piss that you didn't make it on the dream team. Everyone knows Michael's better than LeBron.

Everyone knows Michael's better than Scotty. What are you doing? It's not even like that argument. So Scotty could have taken a different, I listen, 40 lots of power. Rule number one. You know what rule number one is? Never outshine the master.

Don't replace the boss for the face of the team. Replace the boss for master. Replace the boss for whatever the MVP is. You don't outshine Jordan. If he doesn't outshine Jordan, he's going to get a million of one other opportunities. How he's not going to get this up to him. One last thing, I'm store psychology. I'm store psychology.

Pat, I mean, the fact that he doesn't have a supportive wife. Now, I don't know anything about their marriage for real, but I do know she's chasing headlines. And she's not probably sitting there telling Scottie how great he is. And he's been humiliated by her, by some of her actions. So that doesn't help. That doesn't help that or ZZ. That's true. By the way, I mean, that's who you marry,

but at the same time, he's not the first person that had a humiliating stories with wives on the personal life. You still gotta, you know, people can have a choice on what they're gonna do. This is what I wanna say before we move on. Let me just remind everybody that's listening to this. $20 Super Chat gets you in the giveaways. We have a PlayStation 5, we're gonna be given away

iPhone, sign books, and a couple of other surprises. We get to 10,000 people live by the third hour the last Super chat will give 10,000 dollars away But you got to share this with others to get to 10,000 live will give a 10,000 dollar super chat away We got a surprise guest that's gonna be coming here.

He's probably dealing with the major mental issues, anxiety, depression, he's lashing out. Someone does need to sit him down, but he is going through it, bro. And I hope he gets better. We love Scott. We love Scott. Totally. Now, great point on what you just said right there. That's why Adam, what I go back to is sometimes we have a conversation and it's a private conversation that's just between you and I. It's not the world's issues.

to clarify what let's go Brandon means I appreciate that Moral text me the meaning of that's good I would think that she understands your sarcasm at this point I think she is also being sarcastic but she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she Los Alexander for the number one song in America despite being the band of all the two presidents. Let's go. Violent under investigation for saying let's go Brandon during announcement.

Southwest Airlines says ABC 13 Houston story. A Southwest airline pilot and under investigation after you allegedly use a phrase use as a way of swearing at President Joe Biden. The incident happened Friday on a flight out of Houston. The pilot was finishing his announcement when he used a phrase. Let's go Brandon and associate press reporter on the flight out of Houston, the pilot was finishing his announcement when he used a phrase, let's go, Brandon. And a associate press reporter on the flight said there were audible gasps from passengers

after the pilot ended the announcement. In a statement, South of the Satellite said it is conducting an internal investigation into the reported event while continuing to remind all employees that public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable. Okay. How is it unacceptable? You can't wear a Trump duty is unacceptable. Okay. How is it unacceptable, but you can't wear a Trump hat on the plane. Okay, okay. They literally kicked people off that had Trump hats, but it's unacceptable.

That's bullshit. Let's go to Adam first, Adam. What's your thoughts for this story? You totally offended him. Well, I look, this is cute, it's funny. Please appreciate Adam's emotions and feelings. I know a lot of people, famous people, just straight up saying F Trump. Yeah, like Like it wasn't what they weren't hiding it. There was no code word. There wasn't some cute little let's go

Branden thing going on they were come out and just saying Fuck Trump straight up and you know, this is a cute little quirky way of saying fuck Biden. Okay, I get it I hope we get to a point where Americans aren't basically saying F you to the president, whether that's Trump or that's Biden. And this is why, well, I mean, I think we're kind of there. I think I would hope the next president who I do not hope is Trump or Biden. I hope it has a different name than those two old bastards. I would hope that a new president doesn't get hated on this much. I hope that our next president has a 60% approval rating. And then we can have a president that we can at least stomach whether on the left or on the right.

So for now, if you want to do the Let's Go Brandon thing and you think that's funny, you think that's cute and think that the song is actually good. God bless you. But I hope that the next president doesn't stop. I'm gonna wear my next podcast. I'm gonna wear my next podcast. If anybody was like, I'm dead serious, already body.

I'm gonna wear it. I'm gonna wear it every time I get in there. You know, I got inspired yesterday. I don't know the plane to come here. And a older man, about 16, 65 years old, had a Let's Go brand and a hashtag FGAB on his shirt and I was so inspired on the spot. As soon as I sat down, I went on Amazon

and bought three shirts. Cool story, Rick. That's a good spot. He's one of them for a kid. I'm kidding. Yeah, he's speaking about it. He's speaking about it. Yeah, so I mean, there's three things

really when I come to that. All right, like would it be great to have a president that we all like? Yes, it would be awesome. We need it. We haven't had one in really 20 years, almost, right? If, would it be great to have a president that we all like? Yes, it would be awesome. We need it. We haven't had one in really 20 years, almost, right? We can have somebody that can bring us together. But there is nothing more American than being able to go double barrels up at the king.

We throw, we've been throwing tea in the harbor from the very first day. So the fact that we can do that while China makes it illegal to make fun of their heroes, I love the fact of that. But it's also the the Let's Go brand and isn't about Joe Biden. This is what the people on the left especially in the Twitter verse are missing. It's about the gaslighting. It's about the lying. It's it's making fun of them for being like really really they say they're saying Let's go Brandon because for people that don't know out

there and no pat does know this comes from a NASCAR driver one is very first race. Yeah. All right. And the name to Brandon. there and no pat does know this comes from a nascar driver one is very first race yeah alright and named Brandon at get correct and the crowd was audibly chanting fuck Joe Biden and the NBC reporter oh listen to the crowd listen to them their chateau let's go Brandon and him at the podium goes I don't think sure that's what your chateau it's not about Joe Biden it's about them constantly lying and constantly trying to augment. I would say what you're saying, but it was one lady. No, but it didn't.

Oh my god. No, that he was saying after all. But that's what started it. You know, I get it. But like to use the entire media for this one lady's gap. And so where did the left lose their sense of humor? Like the audible, they were audible gas. How does they make fun of our president.

Like how can you not laugh at yourself? You got caught with your pants down, laugh at yourself. It's the same thing with the protesting Dave Chappelle, like you said before, like, wow, we don't like jokes in this country. Not, not, not, not. Like through the left, it's completely lost their freaking sense of humor.

Well, when you say that, you mean the ultra transgender, cancel culture, woke left. Everybody's sent to the Democratic Party. Joe Manchin. Everybody to the left, and Joe Manchin. Can't left you mean the ultra transgender cancel culture woke left everybody percent of the Democratic Party right Joe mansion everybody to the left and Joe mansion 5% 95% and I'm hoping Joe mansion who has held his ground over the last two weeks now after what happened what do you mean maybe 5% I didn't say 5% no you said maybe 5% no no I said I'm not making fun of him for saying maybe five percent. It's much more than that much

So hang on cat man, you're like You guys have no idea what it's like to get made fun of by a full on-dweep. It's like it's like okay I'm getting tried right now. I love you, but I just got tried by a professional nerd Okay, this is where we're at right now. That's okay. Go ahead Look how you're trying to distance from it. You're trying to distance anything. I said that Trump, like, people are saying, stop yelling. You're going to yell over me. Go ahead. You know you win the argument with a liberal when the yelling and the name calling starts for reference. It takes 16 seconds. So my point, so my point was like, oh, you're trying to trying to say oh five percent of the democratic party

you're trying to distance yourself and call them sort of a uh... a woke a little little bit there right so you don't even want to be around you know that the the truth of the thing it's more than five percent to it's more than five is a very vocal very significant part is that a hundred percent the far left that you're trying to say oh, it's a little 5% so how far how what percentage is the far left?

Literally Joe master your numbers guy. What's the percentage? Joe message the only guy on quote far left? Kai are you typing or are you waiting for what percentage is far left? You know, there's like you're sitting there. You're nervous guy. What's the number? You want to put that fingers to use. Yeah, they're pretty little, baby. What's the number, business? What percentage of this country would be considered far left? Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Adam, here, in every country, I'm going to be. What's the number? I don't have a number. By giving that number, five percent. Here's what I just did. I just looked up. I just looked up. Fortune.

Fortune.com says the far right represents only 6% of US citizens. That's far right. I agree with that. Okay. Far right is 6%. So to Adam's argument, if far left is 5, 6%, I think that sounds about right on far left. 5, 6% of Democrats 42%, which means it's really 12% of America. America. So you're someone I'm saying. Hold on, hold on. We need to define what that is now, because what far left is today, and what far left was 10 years ago, are not even in the same ballpark. Well we would consider far left 10 years ago, is pretty normal, almost left of center today.

So I mean, the country has sprinted so far left so fast, and we've had this conversation. So I mean, you know, we need to better define, first of all, I hate the concept of left and right and such an antiquated concept anyway. But the country, your favorite word, the zeitgeist, has moved so far left so quick that anybody that wasn't that center as the culture shifted, now if you were center 10 years ago, you're considered far right today. You imagine what JFK would be today? You imagine John Kennedy, a Democrat coming up.

JFK would be on that on JFK. They would say that he is a far right extreme. He's like Joe Manchin. He would not be. So ask not what your country could do for you. Ask what you could do for your country. You're taking one phrase and making it. Who was a big phrase?

Okay, I'm just saying. But he would be what Joe Manchin is. So, so let me ask you a question. One thing since you made that point. So what do you think is far left today? What percentage do you think is what? Let's define far left. Far left is what?

It's AOC far left? Yes. It's Elizabeth Warren far left. Yes. Is Joe Biden far left? No. No, but it's all mad. But here's no, he's far left.

He just went on the far left. Yes. On the far left. Hey, here's the problem. The media is far left. So you got the biggest microphone out there amplifying everything. Thank you. I don't consider Obama far left.

You got to understand his policy. I think Obama, especially these days, is center left. No, no, no, no. He may have been center left when he was president. I don't think his center left. I think he's left. To me, a far left to me, what what what are we gonna say further left and far left it's far left to me is aoc a little bit warren

Bernie Sanders on our all-marx those guys look we can't pay for he's gonna be behind every one of the way do you think quomo was far left or left no i think he's left yeah mansion is he is a far left left or center left center center center cat so what okay so now let me ask you question let's. Manchin is a far left, left or center left? Center, center left. I think he's just center. Okay, so now let me ask you a question. Let's go far right. Is a Trump far right? Yes.

Is he far right? No, no, no, no. He's rhetoric, he's rhetoric. He's against rhetoric. He's rhetoric. I don't think he's far right. I think he's left right, center, up, down. I think he has no rhyme or reason.

I think he's just all over the mind. Is rhetoric is Ted Cruz far right? Yes. No. They like to frame him as that, I don't think so. I don't think he's all over the map. It's rhetoric is Ted Cruz far right. Yes. No. They like to frame them as that, but I don't think so. I don't think it's far right. It's compared to everybody else out there.

Yes, he is far right. Just to bring some reason to this conversation, the right likes to think they're people that are far right, they're only right, and the left things, the people that are far left are only left. So there's a trend that we have to understand. We have to be aware of this selective hearing or selective, whatever you wanna call it,

biases that we're going through it. All I'm saying today is, I don't think the far left is as big as you think it is. FYI, let me explain what I mean by this. Let me give my argument, I wanna hear it back because this is a world you were part of. I think we're doing an episode on cancel culture, right? And we pull up all the people that have an episode on cancel culture, right?

And we pull up all the people that have said stuff about cancel culture. You should hear what Obama said about cancel culture. You should hear what Sharon Stone said about cancel culture. You should hear about what the girl from 50 shades of gray, what is their name? Dakota something Johnson. What is her name? Dakota?

What she said about cancel culture. What does Bill Marce say? You should hear what Alec Baldwin said about cancel culture. So what is starting to happen today is the following. I tweeted something on the other day, I said, I said, logic and common sense is making a comeback. Is what I tweeted out.

A guy sent a picture saying, the rapper logic and common have been wrong for long. They don't need to make it. Which I thought it was hilarious. But I said, logic and common sense are making a comeback. People are starting to sit there and say, yeah, I don't know, bro. I mean, I'm a Democrat, but I don't know. I don't know if I'm cool going to that point right there.

I'm not. I think there's a lot of people today like a Bill Marl, like a Russell Brand, like Russell Brand did a video on the other day on Let's Go Brand. I mean, are you kidding me? Russell Brand did a video on Let's Go Brand. Where do you think he is politically? I think he's center left. I think he's a left guy. Let's go. Brandy. They should do it. So do it. Joe Biden. I never gonna do it.

I think that Dave Chappelle is probably center left. I think they should tell us that center left today and what you're seeing is backlash from people who are I would consider myself a moderate like I'm a pretty Like I get it I can go left. I can go right to date. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to go Okay, but the point because a lot of that is being gaslight by Trump's rhetoric sure and people saying I can't go for that 80 million people whether you believe it or not said whatever that is I'm out and they use this Stopgap president, Joe Biden. Joe Biden will go down historically as the greatest

motivational speaker in the record record. But the point is, you have people that you're self-proclaiming as center left, whether it's Russell Brand, whether it's Dave Chappelle, whether it's Bill Marr, who are saying that over there to the far left, we ain't with that. And that's what we need. And that's what people on the right need to do to the far right.

But let me ask you this crazy question, just for you. I'm not asking anybody else. I'm just asking you here, right. But let me ask you this crazy question just for you. I'm not asking anybody else. I'm just asking you here, just for you. You ready? Here's a question for you. Okay. Do you think there is more far right today?

Or do you think there's more far left today? I think there is more far left today. Okay, perfect. I agree. I think that's the argument. I think there is a bigger far left today than far right. I think far left is probably twice as many as far right. Because far right argument is what?

What is a far right argument? If you think about it, look at what the proud boys or what Q does. What is it? You said it's 6% of the country. Yeah, and by the way, did you? Maybe that's 5, 10% on the far left. You know the guy that did the documentary on Q and on.

I don't know what the guys, David, what's the guy's name? That did the documentary on Q and on. Colin Holbeck. What'sN on? Colin Holbeck? What's his name? Colin Holbeck, right? We interviewed him the other day like last week. Yeah, last week. Yeah, and so the whole six episode,

I think it's six, five or six episodes about Q&N on and he finally ended up finding out who was behind Q&N on. These two guys, Watkins or Ron Watkins and the father and son and how they were doing it and accidentally says, yeah, we're behind Q&N on. It's like, wait, so it's not a military guy. So it's not this. You gotta also realize that today there's so many ways

to troll yourself and to become a celebrity. There's so many ways to manipulate and spank and confuse the shit out of everybody. Gas lining is a skill set today. Trolling is a skill set today. And some of the best trolls are nerd sitting behind a computer that are 19 years old saying, I'm gonna act like I'm a big frickin military guy that thinks this, this, this happening.

Some of those guys are both at fault by the way, to figure out a way to divide. So the far right guys are fake people, most of them are fake people that are just trying to get some attention. There's terrible against. Yeah, but something that needs to be said is that the far left, maybe their universal healthcare or tax the rich or even commies as your art likes to call them. Maybe they are, that people on the far right literally think Democrats are eating babies.

Like let's not dismiss that. It's not the same argument. I've not heard that one. That's what you and I believe. Wait, wait, wait, you don't want to say a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink. No, they're not, everybody's under white. Hey, here's the biggest problem. that's what you and i believe one one i don't know a drink a drink and i don't know they're not everybody

we're not here's the biggest problem the the far left we can't move on are you are you suggesting your dream of chrome doesn't exist i'm saying that you probably think all democrats are drinking a dream of chrome

no i don't know i don't know what i don't know zero point zero zero zero one of somebody that might have done it but there's okay no no no no you're this this see this is the beauty of what they've done with the Q stuff, right?

You take something that's nuts, you take something that's insane, and you put it in the same list of things that are actually really plausible, right? Like, what was on John Deepa Desk's laptop? Absolutely needed to be investigated. This idea that Pizzagate is this nonsensical thing. You watch, you go down the Pizzagate rabbit hole,

and I'm not saying it's 100% true, I'm not making allegations, but I'm saying there's enough to cause, there's cause for investigation here. There's some really, really atypical shit that went down. The stuff that was on, that was on Anthony Wiener's laptop, that we never found out about, it was gross enough that people in the New York City Police

Department walked outside and threw up. They saw what was on it, they threw up. And Anthony Weiner's clearly been held accountable for that. Has he really? Do you know what's on there? Do you have any records? I don't know. I thought like I'm hanging out with Anthony Weiner

and know what's on his laptop. Oh, and dude. The point I'm trying to make is that they... It's a rough name, it's a rough name to hang out with. It's Tony Weiner's. Yeah, but the point I'm trying to make is that the rough name is a rough name to hang out with he's a ton of means yet but the point of trying to make is that that it's really easy to take something that that might be true and instead of debunking it surround it with bs like there's lizards under the uh... there's lizards

on an article it's like okay well anything these people believe is nonsense they did this with the honest much more skillet did this with hosey kenseko when hosey kenseko came out and said that everybody in the major league is on steroids the first in the turn around said this guy's a jerk this guy's an asshole he doesn't know anything about anything and they tried to discredit him through saying all the dumb stuff that he did it turned out he was 100% right about everything so listen i'm not saying democrats are not eating babies

are in the head no but the fact is that there is human trafficking that's 100 percent true we saw that video at the border which is that there is human trafficking. That's 100% true. We saw that video at the border, which is insane. There's an entire, I mean, the wayfare thing went away like this. And that was insane, that there was $10,000, dressers, and pillows that were named the same names of children that had gone missing. So I mean, this idea that you could just take this and throw it away as some grand conspiracy is exactly what they hope and you do.

And it's nonsense. Some of these things absolutely need to be... So very specifically, what percentage of people or Democrats, if you want to call it, are actually involved in this salacious stuff? I don't think it's Democrats. Less than 0.01%. I think that's what makes the elites elites elites elites. That's like saying, what percentage of people

have access to nuclear technology? It doesn't mean that because it's a small percentage, it's not dangerous. I agree with you. I actually agree with you. You make a great point here. But the point is it's such a small fraction of people that to be labeled,

Democrats are all socialists. But wait a minute. Or Democrats are all eating based, I don't know, but the rebuttal to that would be it's the people in power Bingo who are doing that? That's the difference. That's implementing policy. Yeah, so that's the difference during all this stuff that Catapulted to the fourth turn of the news Trump was in power Q non believe it was he really though. What's he really though? Was he not the president? So so go ahead process that one right there. You're saying Trump was in power of what?

What he was the president of the country what what can the president? Well, so go ahead, process that one right there. You're saying Trump was in power of what? What was the president of the country? What, what can the president actually investigate? What can he actually go investigate? What happened with all these laptops? What could he actually do? Could he actually say go and investigate? You really think a president can call the FBI and say go investigate, Biden's laptop,

something just happened right now to the audio. Whatever you touch, your, okay, okay, go. So, so no, no now to the audio. Whatever you touch, Georgia. Okay, okay. So, no, no, but the point is here, even though you're president, you're in running FBI. What was the FBI doing? FBI was, you know, donors to Hillary's camp and Cuomo, so not Cuomo, what's his name? Comey. So, you know, it's not, president is not in charge, buddy.

We learned that very, very quickly. You think those Donald Trump, Jr's laptop, they want not in charge, buddy. We learned that very, very quickly. So, you think those Donald Trump, junior's laptop, they want to, they want to have a party, they would have been all over the news with that. Anyways, okay, so so far we've done how many giveaways, we've done three giveaways, okay, $20 gets you to Super Chat, we've given away an iPhone 13, we've done two, we've given away an iPhone 13,

we've given away Monocrystals of Gars. Let's think about, guys, why don't you put down here, what you want to be at a giveaway? I did say this at the 10,000 Dollar 10,000 to live watching us will do 10,000 dollar giveaway today if we hit that number of 10,000 That made one point about the Southwest pilot. He should be fired You know as funny as people think that is that that is so The wrong place to be doing it and inappropriate and the last thing you want is friction on a plane at 35,000 feet. And only on Southwest could something like that happen

because they all think they're comedians, right? With their announcements or anything. But I'm appalled by that. I just think it was a totally inappropriate and unprofessional thing for him to do. So do you think teachers should be fired when they bring their politics into the class? Yes.

Every teacher should be fired. Look, it's different because they're not in an enclosed tube, 35,000 feet above the air where people are. What are they going to do, bro? Like here's where they have some decorum and some standards. I understand, but and I'm with you and I'm a, I'm a, I'm a let's go brand and fan all the way, right? A million times over. But, but yeah, because they were kicking, but at the same time, though, and never going to investigate investigated when many American Airlines United Delta, what do they call it, the ladies that help you in the play?

Finance incidents? We're literally kicking people off of plates for having trump hats. So why was there no investigation there? There should be that as well. All politics should be out of the year. But I, I, I, I, we're going, wait too deep into this. Every time somebody says something,

I don't like we should fire them. We should fire everybody We should fire. We should fire. This is how it's approach. You should find. I don't know about fire. And by the way, it works the same way. If someone if the pilot said F Trump, as someone who doesn't support Trump, that guy should be in trouble too. You fly the plane, bro. This isn't the time to start getting on your soapbox, talking politics. Shut up and drift. Yeah, if you're the plane, yes. Shut up and fly the plane.

You're not here to give a speech, whether you support Trump. Let's go Brandon, this ain't, we're ain't here for you. Maybe, maybe, we didn't sign up for a speech. Maybe, maybe if this is the part that I'm trying to hear both of you guys out, should he be farting or not, be fart? Do I like that comment being made in a situation like that? Probably not because I look at his aid.

Even by the way, LeBron said, shut up, chomp, he didn't decide to come to the White House anyways when he was talking about stuff. I don't like that stuff. I at all don't like that stuff because what you don't realize is you're allowing the enemy to see how divided the country. I'm not a fan of that.

However, the problem would have been if this pilot, who was that David, who was the guy we interviewed, who was Space 4 Commanders, Space 4 Command, Matthew Lomire, who got fired because of what he set on his own platform in an article about the fact that military was teaching Marxism principles, et cetera, et cetera, they fired him from being a space for commander. I think that shouldn't have happened. This was a factual. It was, but it's not about the factual stems. So if this pilot, Southwest Airlines pilot,

goes on Instagram and he says, hey, have a great weekend everybody. And by the way, let's go Brandon. He says that, fine, I understand. But on a flight, I don't know. I just, I'm trying to really process it I don't know if I want my kid to Hey, I was so funny Dylan. Yeah, no Dylan

That's not funny. You don't do that kind of stuff when you're leading because you're not a leader That's not a leader you want to do it on Instagram. You want to share your opinions. Listen go forward Hey, have a great weekend. Let's go Brandon go, you know, Alabama, whatever. Okay, 100% I'm with you. Yeah, so time in place. Yeah, there's a time in place for the skies. Like there's enough going on in the air right now that we don't need to get politicized a flight. That's that's a great point right now in the area. You have all this tension with passengers because you know, you have the strained announcement that comes from the cursor up there in first class. And by the way, we have to enforce the federal mandate

about wearing a mask in the air unless you're eating or drinking, you can lower it briefly. That is the standard of the air and we are enforcing that. And you notice how they always kind of put the federal government there. So there's a lot of tension that's happening up there. There's a lot of tensions in there and we don't need more tension kind of sparking people who are already, you know, I don't want any additional tension there. I want to get on, take my flight and get where I'm going.

Yeah, I agree. I could, I guess I'm behind that. I don't disagree with anything anybody said. I just don't like the idea that everybody should always get fired. No, I, I'm with you there. I'm with you there. I think a fine would be a for a bridge.

Some sort of, some sort of repercussion. Re-procussion, but we can't just have, we can't have our pilots. Think about how like, we're in the, we're floating in the sky right now. And our pilots are giving political speeches or indoctrination. Look, whether we look, whatever team you're on, just understand this. The other half of the country doesn't agree with you. And the other half of the country has a different set of beliefs. We're all Americans, especially on the freaking plane. God forbid, there was an issue on the plane and the gas mass come down.

You're not gonna ask, hey, who'd you vote for? I think it should be fired. There's major issues. I really think it should be fired. What if you put something up? You still stick into that. Totally, because not everybody that says something you don't agree with or gets political should be fired.

A pilot should be. What if you tick off or some trip, a trip down dude in the back goes nuts or a flight attendant. There's repercussions from that. There's just there's no benefit of saying something like that and they know they shouldn't do it. And there is a difference between saying it and like to a passenger or to a colleague and doing it on the loudspeaker for the entire plane to hear. And by the way I don't know what airline you're on. Those things that come down aren't gas masks or oxygen

masks. No oxygen masks. There we go. That's a very interesting airline. I don't want to be on that one. In his defense, he's not doing it for political reasons. He's doing it because him and his fellow colleagues are about to be fired for not being vaccinated. He's not doing it to be like, I'm Republican. He did it at a solidarity for everybody in his company that he's been working with, who is about to be let go because of these policies

So it had he might have even voted for Biden for all that we know we have no idea what his politics were This was about don't fire my friends and colleagues because of their medical decisions So he to his stand was it to be like I hope I piss off every Democrat in here. Let's let's move on fair fair I I we've had plenty of back and forth on this one. I say we go into the next story, which is American Shrinkin' Workforce, a puzzle for economists. Page two. OK, so this is an epoch time story.

America Shrinkin' Workforce, a puzzle for economists. The US economy is suffering from a labor shortage, posing the difficult puzzle for economists and policymakers to solve. Americans are quitting their current jobs at a record pace. A labor department showed data that quits increased to 4.3 million in August, the highest on record dating back to December 2000, a Gallup survey discovered that 48% of the working population in the United States is actively looking for new job or watching for opportunities.

The ongoing labor shortage is the single most significant threat to America's economic recovery. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's biggest business lobbying group, Congress should drop the multi-millionaire dollar tax and spend proposals that would further undermine the economy and focus on getting Americans back to work and helping employers fill open jobs. The business group said in a statement, yes, did they? I saw an article, Kai, I send it to you. I don't know if you have it with you or not Yesterday there was this article that Mark Cuban tweeted out Do you have that can you put that article up? I send it to you in a group text with me you and

And Mario I'll text it to you right now as well matter of I'm gonna send it to your iPad I'm sending it to you right now if you see it Yeah, the crypto story put that up there for people to see. Very interesting what Mark Cuban put up about crypto. Very, very interesting what Mark Cuban put up on crypto. If you can put that story up, Kai, crypto is creating newfound wealth and job freedom for many Americans, okay?

So check this out. By the way, when we bought the Bitcoin, how much should we buy the Bitcoin originally for? 50,000, 1.5 Bitcoin, 50,000, 30,000 dollars. And we gave it to you when we gave it to you a week ago or two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. What price was it when we gave you that money cash? 94,000. We gave you 94,000 dollars. We transferred over to them. So the Bitcoin was 62,300 at that day.

When we gave it, we bought it at 32, we gave it to him at 62. So instead of giving Ricky only $50,000 in Bitcoin, he got $95,000 in his account last week. We give you Bitcoin in a half. Yes, Bitcoin in a half, okay. So now watch this, watch this here. No, no, no, no, no. Watch this here, watch this article here, okay.

Whether you invested in cryptocurrency or understand what it is, there's no denying that over the last year, it has demonstrated staying power in Bitcoin, for instance, as of time of writing is valued at $61,000 per Bitcoin, skyrocketing nearly 50%. While some preconceptional cryptocurrency invested in this, in the young and tech savvy individuals, possibly anti-establishment, might as well be a bigger picture of crypto, in terms of a little more noise. Okay, so here's what it goes to. This is the next sentence that's the key. For instance, while crypto wealth is undoubtedly growing, that doesn't necessarily mean any

significant portion of people are quitting their jobs as a result. 11% of the general population reports either having personally quit their jobs or knowing someone who has as a result of their crypto investment. So Mark Cuban is saying another reason why people quit is because they made so much money in crypto right now that they're just kind of sitting there saying I'm not a guy, but he's saying he's saying do the opposite. This doesn't mean you're wealthy officially It just mean one your investments did well. You should go back to your work and do your job Anyways, I'll pause your thoughts on the shrinking workforce a puzzle for economists time. I'm gonna come to you first

Yeah, what's going on right here is you got to take a look at the service economy. Who is streaming loudest about labor shortage? Restaurants, retail stores that are opened again, regardless whether it's a red or blue state, you can have a few- Hospitality. Hospitality, it's all there.

And those are the people that were getting assistance, they were getting the checks from the government for assistance and they were a certain unemployment assistance was coming from their individual states. And so what it showed you, when we only have, you know, when this was started, we were at very low unemployment, which means we had a very low supply of workers. You screw with that supply even a little bit, it wreaks havoc. And now what you see is the service economy is looking for people. I saw the Dunkin' Donuts and this was not a meme. This was really a Dunkin' Donuts.

Hey, please be patient, come on in, we'll get to you. And if you don't like the service, maybe you'd like a job application. Their point was, we need somebody to serve you the donut. So that's number one. And then number two, with the unemployment, you don't have to mess very much with your labor basis. And maybe it is a little bit of crypto, a little bit of an upmarket. And I think we don't appreciate just what a wonderful engine the American economy was. And we have taken a little bit of unemployment in there over COVID impact. And now coming back with assistance programs, you don't have to take much off the top of labor

to create a massive shortage. And I think the difficult puzzle for economists and policymakers, maybe you guys need to get a little more, maybe you're at home eating door dash. All you have to do is walk down Main Street of any mid-size city and take a look. There are active now, like little help wanted signs

in the windows. And I'm like, why is there help wanted side on the window? They can, all the job things, monster.com and everything, they're online. But that's what I'm saying. I'm saying you didn't need to mess very much with the labor-based in America to pinch a whole lot of industries that desperately need need workers. Yeah, I'll echo what he says, then maybe a few

other things. Gallup poll, I mean, sometimes when you're being pulled, do you actually give an honest answer? I always put a little margin in there for some discrepancy with that. The empowerment that employees have right now, it's so easy to quit a job. And they feel so empowered, go on strike, someone else will hire you, the government will give you money. I mean, I find it troubling, to be honest with you, how powerful employees think they are. I think it's great, you know, if you have it, use it, but what not. But it's just getting a little weird and a little inbalanced. Another one of the factors is baby boomers dying. I mean, there's a legitimacy to that. Because more baby boomers have died in the last two years

that we're working, that's going to skew this a little bit. And the last thing is automation. You know, there's a lot of businesses and industries that are going deep on automation. So you combine all those things that Tom said, some of these factors, these numbers, and the pandemic, and we got a problem. Well, a lot of people, like,

we just got a letter yesterday, two days ago, they're giving the third stimulus. Like, we don't mean Erica, we don't catch out on them. Third stimulus, oh, do you hear the apply? Bro, everybody's getting these letters. You, they're giving away. Ricky got his stimulus last week, that Bitcoin. That Bitcoin.

That Bitcoin is. When you get it, they're not done giving stimulus, why would I go back to work? It makes no sense to go back to work. So the shortage of top of, you know, Tom obviously is very wise when it comes onto this. But I'm getting a letter for a third time for stimulus check. A third time.

And I just got it two days ago. Why would I go back to work? All I got to do is pay my bills for, you know, like a lot of these guys. And I even asked people, how did you do it? They gave me the stimulus. I paid my rent for six months. I kept a little money and I'm surviving off of that. Oh, and they're not paying the rent, by the way, some of them are not paying their rent. Yeah. Because now you can, so they're keeping, they're sitting on this money. The majority of them that is going to let them get through for the next, you know, eight to ten months.

I have a stimulus. It's like COVID boosters. We We're gonna have the third, the fourth, the fifth. It's not gonna stop. Found another fairy out there. I think you make a really good point, Ricky, because one year, who's freaking out right now on terms of political strategy? Democrats are freaking out. There's a whole thing going on there.

So if we think these stimulus checks are gonna stop as long as they control the three houses, you know, the three branches, I think we're missing something. I think we're gonna see stimulus all the way through to midterms because it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like candy to the voters.

I don't know Tom. I have a very, I, this table, I have a very minority opinion on this. I know already. stimulus is nothing new. 40 acres in a mule is nothing new. Manifest destiny is nothing new. There's always been an incentive.

The government pays people to go do whatever it wants to do, right? So if they want us to be like, That's not the way it's happening right now, bro. Sure, understood, but nothing's happened in a way that's ever happened for technology's different. This is actually, it's a great point. I'm going to give you a point, but you just remember, 40% of the money that's ever been printed in the United States has patted us, pointing out several times, they've taken us. It happened in the last 20 months.

Yes, understood. Completely. But here's the thing. Big stack trend. You are work, you brought up, you brought up Dunkin' Donuts before, right? If I'm working at Dunkin' Donuts, and it's 12.75 an hour, all right? And I'm looking at a iced coffee being sold for 550. I'm saying to myself, an hour of my life

has only worked two freaking iced coffees. No, it's the gig, more than crypto, which by the way, one of the first podcasts I did, crypto was tanking. You were kind of making fun of me for crypto. You're like, you're in the cell. I was like, absolutely not. I buy the dip and then I'd write. So I mean, I'm all over that. But okay. I'm sorry I got a PVD podcast, Instagram, you can find it. But there's crypto is the future, especially when we get into the middle of metaverse. Crypto is the presence, not even the future. And there's more than the crypto is the gig economy, where the young generation is not getting married,

they're not having kids, they're not buying houses, right? You talked about rent, half of these guys are okay. Like remember back in the day, Chris Farley had that great segment. If you don't do this, you'll be smoking the refurb, living in a van. Man, totally, yeah. Living in a van.

Down by the river. Ever. Antagpan lifestyle is a whole thing. People, they get these vans and they deck them out Living in a van, down by the river. Rapptack van lifestyle is a whole thing. People, they get these vans and they deck them out and it's called mini living and they do this thing. The young generation understands that their time is worth something to them. And it's not 12.75.

What the business is, especially these massive large chains have not figured out is how to attract that employee. And I think it's not money. I don't think it's the money. I don't think it's the money. I honestly think it's the hours. I think that the first person that goes, I'm going to pay your rent and you're only going to have to work four hours a week.

For those people that don't want to be massive millionaires. The business is not sustainable. I think this is the only route on what those companies are going to be doing. Here's exactly what those companies are going to be doing. Here's exactly what those companies are going to be doing. They're going to stop trying to get those young guys to work for them. They're going to automate every single thing and they're going to say, no prom, buddy. You don't want to work for $12.50, which is a minimum wage. It's not really that, it doesn't take that much to flip a burger, but you don't want to

be a barista for $15 and I totally find, well, automate all of this. Eventually, it'll be automated. And short term, short term, the employer's win, long term, the employees win short term, the employer wins long term. Because the employers, also, if any time you're looking for a solution, here's how this works. You can sit there and say, well, you know, do it. Screw it. I'm just going to go out there and do this. You're right. Every time I've done that as a human being, I made a short-term decision and it was successful

for a month, three months, six months, 12 months, long term, it was not successful. These decisions, what you're talking about could be short-term success. It's gonna be catastrophic long term because math, the math doesn't make sense. Now, let me flip it on you. Let me flip it on you.

I just think this is, they're making on you. Let me flip it on you. I just think this is, they're making a decision, they're making a culture of decision. I get that, and they're gonna pay price for it. There's a price to be paid for. Now, let me flip it on you. Let me flip it on you where I agree with you, where we can go into meta conversation as well.

I think we're old. I think we're old. Officially, we are old. Let's face it. Everybody at this table is officially old. Okay? Everybody. If you're, and let me unpack what I mean by that.

Let me unpack what I mean by that. The younger generation is about to do a clinic on us. And it's gonna happen. And people have to be ready for it. And you have to be so prepared for what's about to happen. Okay? The other day I'm sitting there and I'm watching my kid my oldest son My youngest son you guys know what he looks like he looks like is you know He's ready to go play today football all this stuff. I was with him this morning just seeing this guy athletic wants to be out there

Right my oldest son wants to make video games my oldest son wants to go out and play video games My oldest son wants to sit there and he's great at playing video games, right? And you know these guys are are very good at playing video, and it's a different kind of wiring. And I'm sitting as a parent saying officially today, there's more people watching gamers than watching sports. Let me say this one more time. There's more people watching gamers today than watching sports. So let's go back. Go to when you and I were 14 years old. Go to when you and I were 14 years old go to when you and I were 14 years old go to the 14-year-old Gerard the 14-year-old Adam the 14-year-old Tom Tom Ricky the 14-year-old go to that age right and and make that today

What would you and I be doing today for 14 years old when I was 14 years old? We were at Shulcane and playing baseball with our moaned and our tin and all these guys trying to see who can hit that home run over that fence and sholkanion When I was 14 years old we were playing at already wide trying to dunk on an 8 foot rim because it was a junior high school Not even a junior high school. It's a middle school and we could dunk you know those rims that were lower and you like to have Sick 8 and a half right it was sick you would play over there with all these guys when I was 14 years old We were jumping defense and going to the swimming pool at the high school and we were swimming when I was 14 We'd go to Tommy's burger and by Tommy's, even though we were broken with some, when I was 14 years old, we were going to a store called Beckett off a Broadway and

we'd buy baseball cards. We'd go to another place that was a batting cage of, I think, what's called Camelot and we would play baseball, remember that in Camelot? When I was 14, I'd walk to Glendale, Galeria and walk around and go to Hagen does and get a job at the freaking Hagen does That's what we did. I played Fester's Quest I made a piece with Peter Toney on my house that's got Fester's Quest there because I played hundreds of hours playing Fester's Quest Didn't get paid shit for it because nobody saw great. I was yeah, I played Super Mario Kart But I tell you if I played Fester and if I was 14 today playing Fester's Quest and all of a sudden I got 17 million people watching me

I'm probably gonna play Fester's Quest and dominate the Fester and if I was 14 today playing Fester's Quot and all of a sudden I got 17 million people watching me, I'm probably gonna play Fester's Quot and dominate the Fester's Quot. So we have to know what direction we're going. The first time I heard about those hope NFT thing, I'm like, what are these guys talking about? I interviewed people who sold the $4.69 million and I interviewed Metacovon who's a Vyatana from Singapore,

who bought it for $69 million, who's a Bitcoin billionaire. I interviewed both of them within a span of a week or something to see both of their within a span of a week or something to see both of their perspectives. And Metacovon talked to him. He was the first, if you've never seen this interview, you have to watch this interview. He's the first guy that made me say,

I have one of those moments where I'm sitting and talking to him, I'm like, fuck, this guy frickin' makes sense. Uh-huh. This guy makes sense. He says, Patrick, where do you live right now? Do you have a nice house? I would assume you have a nice house.

Well one day you're going to close your eyes and there's going to be people spending more time in their world, metal world, then they're going to the virtual world, then they're going to in the real world. And in the virtual world, you're going to own yourself a waterfront house. You're going to have friends, you're going to have features, you're going to do certain things, and there's gonna be museums. And I'm gonna own one of the most incredible museums and for you to come inside my museum and watch and see the every day that I bought from people for $69 million, you have to buy

a ticket to see it. But the only way you see it, it's gonna be the last room in my museum for you to see it in my world. And you're gonna have to buy the ticket to go in and see it. Here's a guy that's worth a billion dollars on crypto is sitting there saying, I bought this thing for $69 million. We are living in a different world.

So let's transition into this meta story and see where this is gonna go. And- I was gonna be interesting. Jarod, I'm gonna go to you first on this one here. So let me just get right into this on page one guys with Facebook. What was just announced?

By the way, is it fair to say that all you guys seen the video with Zach and what the CNET video was? One of them is a six minute one, the other one's a 12 minute one, you've all seen it, okay, fantastic. Facebook is changing its name to meta as it focuses on the virtual world, a Washington Post story.

Last week, Facebook changed its corporate name to meta moving aggressively to distance itself from a social media business, emberled in crisis and rebrand itself as a forward-looking creator of a new digital world known as a metaverse. In a 75-minute online presentation, Zuck urged users to adjust their thinking about the company which he said had outgrown its ubiquitous and problematic social media.

A platform that will continue to be known as Facebook. Instead, he said the company plans to focus on what Zuck over described as a next wave of computing a virtual universe where people will roam freely as avatars, attending virtual business meetings, shopping and virtual stores, and socializing at virtual get-togethers. Don't forget that when Philip Morris changed his name from Altria, it was still selling cigarettes that caused cancer, tweeted, Democratic lawyer, Mark Elias. And there's a few other things here about meta, I'll pause a little bit, but we'll go to that part right there.

So there's some people that are excited about it, some people that are not jarard, your thoughts on meta. Well, it's inevitable. And you talk about like a disruptive technology. Look at how much time people spend online right now. Right now, you know, you have, you know, I know guys, man, that they, as soon as they get home from work,

the first thing they do is they get in the GTA, they've been playing GTA for two, three years now. They've got millions of GTA dollars, they've got millions, they've got hundreds of GTA cars, they've got houses, they have this entire sublife where their GTA life is like their real life, Grand Theft Auto. Same thing with World of Warcraft. And I think this metaverse is going to make that technology to the next generation seem like what NES is to us. Like you know how like when Sega first came out and we were like, these graphics can't

get any better, my God, it's incredible. And now you look at the graphics today and it's insane. This metaverse, you're going to have a generation of people who just literally lay on their couch like they're hooked into the matrix. And they walk around with their eyes closed all day. They have relationships online. They'll have sex online. They'll have jobs online. They will wake up.

There will be people that work in the metaverse. They will, the only time that they will be out of the, out of the Oculus, the only time that they will be in reality is when they have to eat, they have to shit, and they have to sleep. They may even be able to sleep in the metaverse. I know that that sounds draconian. I don't necessarily know that it's bad. I think that it's bad.

I think you're gonna have society kind of drift into two different directions, in two actual realities. You're gonna have a reality in the functional world, the real world, if you will, in a completely separate reality, probably with different rules, different governments in this digital reality.

I think the actual world itself is going to split into two simultaneous realities. Let me ask you, what has dramatically changed in the last 40 years? Let me ask the question and then you give me some of say four or 40 40 years What has dramatically changed in the last four years? Okay, so how we how we Communicate with each other obviously because of social media dramatic. Internet email and on that fine. Okay, cell phones fine How about dating has dating dramatically changed in the last 20 years?

Forget about 40 years. So dating. 10 years ago today is amazing. OK, fantastic. Let me ask you this. So what were some things that happened that parents were worried about? Parents were worried about rock and roll music

with Elvis Presley. Hips moving. It's going to get girls to do this. What if my daughter does this? OK, has music changed dramatically from 80s? I want to know what love is. To now, hey, I was doing your girl with? I want to know what love is to now. Hey, I was, you know, doing your girl with my Gucci, you know, it's like, God, so, you know,

hit them up as slightly different than, you know, what do you call it? Yeah, whatever songs you want to talk about. Yeah, right. Faithfully or don't stop believing. It's a very different narrative with the songs. Okay, how much has porn changed? Has porn changed over the last four years?

I know, I mean nobody at the table's watching but before the people that do watch porn, what I do know is Tom knows a lot about marijuana for whatever reason Gerard knows a lot about porn. I don't know what it is, okay? But here's a question though. How much has porn changed the last four years? Okay, so go back 40 years ago, 40 years ago was what?

VHS, LA Express, Playboy magazine, Hustler, all of these things. So how's it changed now? Then it went to VHS, then it went to, let's just say Napster, then it went to, you know, CDs, then YouTube, not YouTube, but, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, porn hub, whatever. How much has a changed though? Has it changed really that much? You could have them, your phone is on your phone. I know, but has it dramatically changed? Has the experience changed? It's still you, you know, as a single man or person

that's watching it, you're consuming. So the part where I'm going with this is, It's a very experienced change significantly, but from a 10,000 foot view, not. At the end of the day, it's still you and your dad. By the way, you just gave me more. That's where I was going with this. VR porn is metaverse, by foot view, not the end of the day. It's the only way you can get more. You just gave me more. That's where I was going with this. VR point is metaverse, by the way.

But the part I was going with you is the following. How much has been a dancer 20 years go versus today? Is it even worth you dancing today instead of being on point up? I don't know how strip clubs exist. That's the only thing I don't. But that's something that's really a business model. So do you think people are still want to go see

the real strip club versus going on? Born up? Okay. So perfect. If you're saying yes, do you think a 20 year old? I wonder if the demographics show the younger generation is as excited about strip clubs as 40 year olds are? I don't know.

Okay. So then we have to go and try to think like an 18 year old 20 year old today with what Metta's gonna do and how they're gonna process this versus us because to them, it's gonna be normal to us. It's kind of like weird, right? So we have to think like the people who think it's normal, not just think like us who think, this shit is weird, right?

So how much has it really changed for them? I can see it being to the point where like the government has to regulate how much time you can spend in the metaverse because people will spend 20 hours a day in the metaverse and so much better than their regular life. You're born in the poverty, you're short, you're fat, you're whatever and in the metaverse you're tall, you're attractive, you're rich. They're going to live their life there as opposed to in the real world. It's so much so that the government will probably regulate, you've been online for 10 hours,

and then there'll be black market metaverse places where people can go into somebody's basement and hook back in. It's a drug. They even talk right now, video games are a drug. There was that athlete that lost his career because he was playing the tight end for the Broncos. He literally had a Grand Theft Auto addiction.

He was like, I skipping practice to play grand theft auto. It was serotonin in his brain. It was, dude, we're all addicted to our cell phones. We're addicted. We're not. Okay, so folks, if you're listening to this, I'm actually curious. I want to read your commentary. What are your thoughts?

What's your biggest, matter of fact, what's your biggest concern? And then we'll talk about the stuff that could be good. I'll make one more point because I've been talking too much. But we talked about this. When was the last time? Remember when you would come home and there would be one phone and somebody would call door and dinner, your dad would get so pissed off and you'd take the phone

and you'd put it off the hook so nobody else could contact you that night? When was the last time our phone's roughed the hook? Yeah, never. Well, I'll give you another perspective here. The rules of the game have changed. Back when you said what's the difference between 20 years ago, 40 years ago, back in the day, the rules are completely different. They've been flipped.

What were the rules? Don't get in cars with strangers. Don't meet random people online. Get out of your house and do things and play. Now you're getting in cars with strangers, rickers, getting to do business deals, learning last names, all these in cars. People are meeting people online on the regular. You know, you're getting in cars with strangers, rickers getting doing business deals, learning last names, all these in cars, right? People are meeting people online on the regular.

That's how people date these days. You know, speaking of not getting out of your house, now you're locked down in your house, the rules of the game have changed. But, you know, Facebook has basically put the world on notice that they are coming after the future. They are not just a social media platform at this point where you can, you know, rate hot girls or be friends or check the news,

they're basically saying, live your life in our world now, right? And this is what Mark, like Mark Zuckerberg, more than anyone with this move right here, I could see taking over the world. People talk about Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. Mark Zuckerberg is now coming after your mind and your dreams and basically your entire life with this meta. It's no longer Facebook. It's the Matrix. It's the Matrix Avatar.

And there's parts of it that like, hey, wake up, see what's going on here. You know, Tiko's living in this world right now. And there's parts of it like if I'm a boomer out there and I'm thinking, what the hell is going on here? If there's anything we've learned from this past two years of Zoom meetings and how effective it is, and hey, you can just be anywhere,

there's something to fact that we're sitting here and we're like, hey, how you doing Pat? We're touching, let's not forget about humans need interaction. And this metaverse is cutin' all, but at some point you need to get out of your house and do real stuff Okay, somebody just said Mr. Bruce Kim and I want to hear from others your art to see what others have to say Well, I'm gonna go to them Tom Tom. I'm gonna come to you Ricky if you got thoughts. I want to hear from you as well

So here's what some people have to say Matthew Mason said Zuck is influenced okay Stefan Kareva said real player one, which I don't know if you've seen that movie or not It's actually very interesting. Yes. Madi's soul, as far as I said, obesity is a concern for our children. Mr. Bruce said meta is evil. TRC, Turtle Island said, will Durant, the age of decidence, which I've read a lot of will Durant back in the days.

So the CJ, des, first time I've ever heard a comment like that, Adam is wrong. The next one, Andy H, it's not the real world, it's a jail, it's matrix. Okay, Dan C. Antill said, control freak rules. So, look, you know, it's concerning, but sometimes parents are worried about losing their kids. Like it's like, I'm gonna lose my kids.

This is one of those things where you can actually lose your kids in the attention, Tom, what are your thoughts? So, as a parent, what are you thinking about this? I've been worried, I spent a little bit of time in video games and in the industry. And I can take you back to March 1999, which was the origin of Sony online entertainment to EverQuest.

And EverQuest was one of the first massively multiplayer online role-playing games here you had an avatar, you collect stuff, you buy weapons, you buy things, and people will go in that, and they would be playing for 20 hours straight. True story. And it unlocked for me understanding, you know what, The human capacity for addiction and to be to satisfy something beyond yourself has never changed.

Our ability is humans to be addicted to whether it's video games or drugs or music or something and to get so immersed in it that it's there. Now, that really worried me. There were people that had stopped playing EverQuest. That were still paying $19.99 a month, and people would say, why are you doing that? You're paying $240 a year. I don't want to lose my avatar. I got my avatar, I got all my activity,

I got everything in there. And that told me right there just how scary it was. And I started seeing, you know, Fortnite. Remember Fortnite? Fortnite first came out, you know, and you dropping into the island Fortnite. And baseball guys, do you remember when there was two of those consoles that was in the Boston Red Sox locker room?

And they were playing it, and David Price missed a start because he had cramping in his thumb. Wow. Because on that thing, they were playing Fortnite to 3am. He comes to the... David Price was Saiyong Win. Was he a Saiyong Win or not. I thought he was a Saiyong He was a man. He was a MVP.

Yeah, I worked at 10 pitch wall top David Price one time. So I am I think is a parent you better put timers and you need human interaction and you should put timers and restrictions on your kids getting in these immersive video games because the gaming industry knew in 1999 there's billions and billions of dollars to be made off your kids because of our natural resources. How much worse is this though? That's what I want to know. Is this like? It is nine times. No, it's a hundred times worse because Zuckerberg's involved. All right, and I agree with Adam. He wants to take over the world. Here's his biggest problem. He's the

world's worst salesman. He literally is. He has no charisma. You automatically hate him if you know his track record. So he's not gonna be able to sell people on this new concept. I don't like him. You know, I'm less interested in meta. If he had someone with some charisma. It looks like him. It would be different if Elon Musk was in front of this.

I mean, you might believe it or want to get into it. Hey, the whole thing, the whole world, you guys are describing is scary to me. My kids aren't allowed to play Fortnite. I'd never let them spend any time playing those addictive games. There's no way. I prefer the real world. I prefer human beings. It's just the way it is. And that's not going to change. And I can understand, I mean, this is just a trap. This is a jail cell for young people that are going to get sucked into this. They're going to remain single their whole life. They will be able to live their whole life inside this metaverse and Zuckerberg knows it So you know, this is a convenient way for him to rebrand the company

Which he's still gonna be all involved in Facebook. I mean, that's not going away what they do But it's a marketing move for him and I think him as the world's worst salesman, which he is He's not gonna be able to roll the world away as much as He's not gonna be able to world's worst salesman. As much as I agree with you, for being the World's Worst Salesman, he's doing a lot of sales. He's doing okay. No, but I'm talking about him or on camera. I'm talking about when she is front and center.

I know his company is great, of course it is. He's got the best engineers in the world. I'm talking about him as the face of him. I don't think that's hard to argue with. You made a great point. And whoever did that super chat is right about it, being a little bit of a jail. Look at how they're controlling information right now.

Look at how they're controlling speech. Say the wrong thing, you're shut down. Imagine being addicted to that metaverse. This is where you're online. This is where your job is. This is where your girlfriend is. That's online. You're dating somebody in 3,000,

you know, 5,000 miles away, halfway around the world. They're on the metaverse. You're in love with this life, but you said the wrong thing. So now we're gonna shut you down for 30 days. You can't get on the metaverse. You can't go to work. You voted the wrong way.

You ate red meat. It was detected in your, your art bio scans detected that you ate. It's the social credit score that they're doing in China. It's exactly. But in the metaverse now, exactly they'll throttle you reach. Here you are all your friends.

It is very scary. It is very scary as people have grown up in the real world. Yeah, the thought of this. Yeah, Pat made up a good point. If you're 12 15, you've got kids all between, you know, six and 15. Like this is quite the concern if you're if you're a parent. Let me let me. Okay, so that's the part.

That's the part. I read a time magazine article that said, uh, minimalist, how the next generation is minimalist, and this was like eight years ago, seven years ago, and in the article, no, not minimalist. It was Thomas Narcissist, how narcissists they are. And it was Thomas, all these 14-year kids want to do is take pictures, the lips, the duck face, all this other stuff. And you know, these kids are spoiled, and you know, they would tell me, all these 14-year-old kids want to do is take pictures, the lips, the duck face, all this other stuff. And you know, these kids are spoiled, and you know, they're having issues

because all they care about is how many likes they're gonna get. And that, that, that, that's such a problem. It's catastrophic. And you know how to article it. If you think this is catastrophic and it's the end of the world, maybe it just means you're too old. Yeah.

So, you, that's the hardest thing that for us, we have to consider because every time something new happens, we think it's the end of the world. We think it's the doomsday, and my only challenge to all of us is, I don't know if it is, I don't know if it's not, but I will tell you what's the biggest mistake, if you don't immerse yourself to learn about this world,

you're screwed because the biggest thing is to be ignorant about it. It's better to be learning about it. So if I'm a parent, I'm definitely learning about the stuff more than anybody else's, because I want to find out what the hell is going to happen. You're losing your kid. Your kid is sitting there, two hours upstairs, not coming downstairs. He's got this stuff on his eyes and, you know, like he's Oculus, too, whatever it is that they're looking at it. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know. You're basically saying the last thing that you should be is dismissive. Think about all the people who've been dismissive. I would be overreamable. Big coin crypto, whatever it is. NFTs, however ridiculous is that. That's never gonna work over the last handful of years.

And you're dismissing people's perspectives and feelings and you're missing out on the opportunity. I think being aware, you said something a few podcasts back, which is really great, right? The people who are paranoid survive, right? The paranoid survive. So I think it is good to be skeptical and cynical about these things,

but at the end of the day, it's a tool, right? It's technology, and you can use it for amazing things. You were talking about Zoom, but there's something about being here. That's gonna put you here. We're gonna all be sitting next to each other, we're gonna feel each other, we're gonna see each other. You don't mean so listen

Why don't we do why don't we do an Oculus to give away? How about we do that an Oculus to give away literally if you give $20 to the super chat which we've already said if we get to $10,000 out 10,000 a live We'll give away $10,000. Matter of fact, here's what I'm gonna do if we get to 7,500 live I'll give away an Ethereum. How about that? I'll give one Ethereum away to anybody if we get to 7500 is that okay with you? Hey, that's okay, but to your friends Participate but to participate you got to do a $20 super chat. So okay, so let's do one right now right now right now What we're doing right now? We're gonna do the what you call it? We're gonna do the Oculus 2 virtual reality

give away with a sign book. So Adam, not Adam, Sanvel, if you wanna put that up so we can take a look at it, it's the next giveaway. Can we give a quick shout out to Kai? He is misspelled nothing today. On fire right now. First of all, he hasn't been asked to spell it. There we go.

Give him too much of a red. Zero for zero. He go wild. You got no to spell There we go. Give him too much. You're right. 0 for 0. You go on. You got no issue. There we go. Alright, so Jose is the last winner. Let's see what we got. Let's see how many names it's going to be now. Check this out. Look at it. Boom. Put it.

It's root. Oh, is it? Get it you're right. We got the Oculus too Never see Your hard wins Oculus to that's it Gerard's porn experience about to change Okay, so Oculus to it seems a little scripted right now. I don't know Good thing it wasn't the PS5 give it up I want that a theory Okay, well listen we keep going so now Gerard's out of it what are the chances of one of the guys

Gerard gave $10,000 to be in there So Gerard, no laundry, David. No ticking, no laundry. Let's continue. Guys, if you want to be in the next raffle that we're doing with Super Chat, 20 bucks, we're getting a lot of rigged comments. We get to 70, 500. We're getting a lot of rigged.

We get to 70, 500. And then under the Democratic Party, it's not rigged. It's fortified. So we get to 7,500. It'll be end-aetherium. We'll get to 10,000. It's 10,000 dollars cash. But we only have an hour and 20 minutes left of podcasts. I can't believe that.

Tough is steel. And a podcast. I told you. What I tell you is, this is an insurrection at its finest right now. Let's, is it January 6th? Come to life. Gerard, winning the Oculus. Together strong.

Let's continue. Let's continue. Let's continue. Yahoo, a Yahoo story. Yahoo, polls out of China, citing're strong. Let's continue. Let's continue. Let's continue. Yahoo, a Yahoo story. Yahoo pulls out of China, citing challenging environment. Pretty interesting for Yahoo to make a story out of this, by the way. This is an AP news story.

The withdrawal was largely symbolic. As many of the company services were already blocked by the China. China's digital censorship, a recent government moves to expand its control over tech companies, generally, including its domestic. Giant may have tipped the skills for Yahoo, Yahoo, who's the latest foreign tech company to exit China. Google gave up several years ago.

Microsoft's professional networking platform LinkedIn said last month, it would shudder its Chinese side, replacing it with a job board instead. The departures illustrate the choices in other companies face in a huge potential market, but one word, the government requires them to censor content and keywords, deemed politically sensitive or inappropriate Chinese laws stipulate that companies operating in the country must hand over data if requested by authorities, making it difficult for Western firms to operate in China

as they may also face pressure back home overgiving in to China's demands. Okay, so Xenner, I'm going to you first and I'm going to Ricky. Okay. Go for it. Oh, it's start talking now. Hey, John, sorry I was in the metaverse.

Hey, my bad. Let me exit real quickly and deal with humans. Third dimension. Clearly it's becoming very difficult for tech companies to interact with the Chinese government. And take away the population, 1.3 billion, the biggest market in the world, for them to be bailing this quickly speaks volumes. You know, so I'll let you guys talk more

about it. I'm waiting for the Chinese Taiwan porn math teacher and then I can really give you some. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if check it. I think if you really compare what's going on in China and what's going on here, Tom, it's really no different because what America is using is just pressure with as far as what you can say, what you can't say. The Chinese government is just simply telling you, you're not going to do it. America government is not doing that, but what they're doing is they're grabbing the media and, you're not gonna do it. American government is not doing that,

but what they're doing is they're grabbing the media and telling you you can't do that. I don't know if I'm making sense. Yes, yes. America's gonna say, it's, it's, it's, it's, yes. So it's like Chinese government are just like straight up don't care.

And with us, we're experiencing the same thing as China, except that we're using social justice warriors to do it. I think that's a really good thing. I think Ricky makes a point here. It's the same thing, Tom. It's like, there's two cars you're speeding. Yes.

China won an America. Right. And America, the guys in the cars next to you start yelling at you and reporting at you. In China, they hit the remote control button in your car stops. That's it. I mean, it's really, if you look at it, it's really no different. In as a matter of fact, TikTok, the guy, the, the, the, how am I,

Kimmer, the guy from TikTok, he was just interviewer. He was doing the fight dance at you. Yes. So, so, the guy at TikTok, and then so he was at the center floor and I think it was a Jay I think it was a center Kennedy or if not it was From Texas Not to not Ted Cruz. Oh my god. I can't forget. I'm drawing a Blake John Corning. No, no for at these from Texas Like hardcore. He's like another Kennedy

Republic. No, he's spent a guy. What's his name? I can't remember, he's Cuban. Oh my God, I can't believe I'm drawing a blank right now. Well, he's interviewing. Ricky, it's gonna be okay, make your point. He's interviewing him. And what they're doing is TikTok sharing data with China on Americans. And they're saying, well, why can't we get your information

that you can get ours? And so he won't ask the question, no, we don't share, it's our mother company. So you're, but the requirements is that you have to share all data with them in the, that main company, mother companies in China, take talks in America. So we've been doing that.

One of the TikTok, if you believe general's spalled and if you are on their fiber optic network, they have your information. Well, let me, let me ask you this. So I got two questions for you guys. I got two questions for you guys. Janice and Ted Cruz, but Janice ain't Ted Cruz, but he said it's not Ted Cruz Ted Cruz is a rookie rookie review. No, no, not Ricky. He's a guru. You're taking a real star. But Ricky Rubio is apparently billionaire, but anyways, that's a different story. Let's go back to John Corne

It's totally fine. It's a Cuban guy's Ted Cruz, but here's a point. I got two questions for you I got two question. I cruise. Guys, it's totally fine. It's a cute one guys take cruise. But here's a point, I got two questions for you. I got two questions. I got two Ranjana's right. So I got two questions. Well, you said take cruise. So I got two questions for you. Two questions for you.

Number one question in this story here with TikTok. Okay, which is Yahoo, but you guys brought up TikTok. So I got two questions. One, how close was it for Trump to shut down TikTok in US? Do you guys remember the territory? Do you remember how concerned people were in America? Yes. Number two, in regards to TikTok, do you think if a dissentist

or a Trump gets elected, do you think, chance wise, do you think they'll go after TikTok to shut it down? Give me a percentage, highly likely. Okay. More than any social platform, TikTok is on the chopping block. I tell you what I'd like to see them doing, I can't believe I was saying this for government interaction, but after your conversation with the Facebook moderator, the fact that those guys have access to everybody's conversations,

that's got to go. On Facebook or on your family button. Yeah, he's not a lot of questions. On Facebook messages, what's app any Facebook Instagram? That's got to go on your anybody. Yeah. I said, I don't know my question. On, I didn't see it. Facebook messages, WhatsApp, any Facebook Instagram, any Facebook. The guys working there can see your message with anybody. I said, I said, so who did you go and look at?

He says, I don't care about what people say. All I care about is what my cousin has to say about me. You saw the, yeah. So, but here's the thing. Let me go back to the question, guys. Let me go back to it, because this is leading to a point. So what percentage, what is the chances of the next administration if a

Decentis a Trump a Republican gets elected that TikTok gets banned in the US. I don't know if any is already done it in the Band a hundred apps. I don't know if it's any Republican. I think it's gonna be the dissentist of Trump. They're gonna go after What do you think you're art? Give me your percentage. Give me 5% 10% 5. Okay, Zener what's your say 75? Okay, Tom. What do you say? I'm a Zener. I okay Tom? What do you say? I'm a Xenna I say 75 what do you say? Well, I don't think anyone's gonna do it more than Trump and Trump was very close So I'm saying 25% 25% okay, so now this is the next question here next question here in regards to Yahoo Leven in regards to Microsoft leaving and changing LinkedIn into a job posting side whatever in regards to Google Sando we've been out three years?

We're not dealing with China. And these are liberal companies that are in China. So this is not political that we're talking about here. They're just leaving because a business model doesn't work. Here's a last question for you. How soon do you think if ever Hollywood leaves China? Do you think anything will be a tipping point for Hollywood or sports to say? Absolutely not.

We want to leave that market? That's where all the money comes from if China cut Hollywood off That's how it would happen, but there's no way Hollywood's cutting that what would come off that what could cause What could cause for Hollywood producers executive producers and the sports NBA MLB NFL NHL to say you know what we don't care About again that contract in China we're out. I think that they want to right now I think that they really, really want to. I think they're waiting for somebody else to show them. To China or to the US.

We talked about this. We talked about this with the Manningcast. All the Manningcast is, and it's massively popular. The Manningcast is just a live stream. It's YouTube. It's Twitch. It's national television taking digital technology and implementing it in their professional format.

So whoever is the first person to deviate, take that disruption and deviate and say, you know what, we're going to go direct to consumer, forget the movie theaters, we don't need a revenue based model where people have to go and buy popcorn, we're going to make something and it's going to be pay-per-view. If you want to see Dwayne the Rock Johnson, you have to be on Ricky Aguilar TV. I got a 10, I got a 10, a 10 movie deal with the rock. He got paid $200 million. You got to see the rock here and it's going to be $299 each of his movies.

Okay, take me back to now. Something sparks the sports leagues. They want to leave, but they don't take me back to that. Okay, so the sports leagues particularly, right? What right now what they're doing is they're trying to figure out streaming rights, right? Do you look at Major League Baseball? John Boy Media actually pays for YouTube streaming rights to do all of the highlights. It's remarkably cheap.

They pivoted away from where they used to hunt these guys down and be like, you're using our rights. It's $1,000. Now it's like, oh, it's free marketing for us. Yeah, it should give us like 20 bucks of video, and now you own the rights to it. So they have their product, and then you're gonna have this microstreaming ecosystem,

and somebody's gonna aggregate these places, these people all together. It's gonna be like, if you like baseball, you have your 25 favorite streamers that are watching the baseball game at the same time, and you can click, and you can watch Patrick call a baseball game. If you don't like can click and you can watch Patrick call a baseball game If you don't like Joe Buck, you can watch you can watch Adam Soss

It'll be the 11 months of the 11 months of pirate bay and Napster where they had all the illegal music And you just went there and you could see everything that is a perfect example and pirate remember pirate bay Yes, and pirate bay and Napster and bear and bear share those are the three that ended up in handcuffs boom, they were gone because and then what came out of that items and items they said the cd's dead legal napster the cd is dead i don't need the spn if i'm only watching one show why do i need the whole channel you're gonna be able to buy per episode i don't i don't want to i don't want to buy an antifold network i just want to watch the man so i understand the

status of the right go back to Pat's question about. If it's super specific, leaving China about getting a little bit of sand, I don't know. Tom, do you think you're somebody that thinks about the stuff? Do you think anything, any singular event can happen where all sports unite and they say we're out of China? Kai, think about it. I may come to you next. I think it's, I think it's a human rights thing. I think it could be Taiwan. I think it, it's a human rights thing. I think it could be Taiwan. I think it it's a human rights thing and it's like a nest canter's talk. I think there's a leak and use of the data and the rest of the world realize

Holy crap. That's what they can do with all this data. Tom, if you get away from advertising revenue You don't need those people. You don't need 1.3 billion person marketplace. If it's a VOD don't need those people. You don't need 1.3 billion person marketplace. If it's a VOD 330, what would cause a sudden unification in departure following Yahoo following Google following TikTok? Long story short, make it more profitable domestically. How do you make it more profitable domestically? I think you do individual consumer VOD. I agree, that's the business side. Pat was asking me and I think as soon as there is a human rights violation, as soon as there is a massive leak where people realize, wait a minute, all my stuff from TikTok somehow ended up over

there, and this is what they're doing. But Tom, that's happening now, and nobody cares. Everybody knows that China uses slave labor. Nobody doesn't wear things that are made in China. Everybody knows. That's what I'm trying to say to you guys. What I'm trying to say is, okay, i'm trying to say is okay so again i think desperately if america needs anything right now is a is one enemy that the left middle right everybody agrees on yeah desperately we need one

enemy that everybody is convinced this is a number one enemy what does china need to do for everyone in america to say what russia used to be four years go on a movie rocky came out that china becomes that what do they need to do Kai? From a 23 year old incredible type. Go ahead tell us. So just to piggyback first on what could the sports do. I think if if more players like Innis Cantor step up and on the different teams then they would create enough headaches for the NBA to maybe even consider just pulling out because if China already isn't showing All the Celtics games imagine if then the player on Lakers the player on some of the big teams and like then they're not showing half the games already At that point you've reached the tipping point of maybe where you know that maybe it's not worth it anymore

Because then they've essentially sabotaged enough to where it's now your plane like Tetris trying to figure out what games can actually go through and Then you're just getting pennies on the dollar anyway, and at that point they pull out and then that would just have to be going Center, what are you with this board? I think the only way it could realistically happen is the the government forced the NBA to not do business With China anymore sort of like China does with with their tech companies, or with our tech companies coming over there. Here's the other thing, I think it's very interesting that Silver hasn't said, Adam Silver hasn't said anything about it as a country yet, nothing.

Right, he got away with saying, way more radical things than the GM for the rockets did at the time. And then look at the reaction to John Cena with his comment when the movie came out, when he had the comment about Taiwan, he could not backpedal fast enough and apologize and damn near start bawling as he was doing it. So I think Hollywood is more entrenched in China with less chance of them leaving. I think the NBA looks at it like this.

If they can replace the revenue stream, that's the only way it could happen. Okay. So let me ask you four questions. Taiwan guys. Can I can I make four points here? Four questions here. Taiwan, guys. Can I make four points here? Four questions here, okay? So I'm gonna write out four causes of that taking place. Tell me which one of these are more likely to happen?

Okay, of leaving China permanently. Number one, a government regulation, okay, what a government says you can't do it. You ask government. You ask government. Number two is Adam Silver going out there and going against China. Okay, number three is the face of the league athlete a Mike Trout a KD a LeBron a Tom Brady a Patrick Mahomes type of guy or fan base

coming together and boycotting and saying hey I cannot understand why you guys are supporting China. Which of those four is more likely to happen? And which one of those four will have the most influence? I'll ask, is it the government? No, no. Is it silver? I think that's, I think the fan base is this. And no, the most. Okay.

People are awakening. I could tell you what's the least, the face of the league, because the players association will hammer them, because the face of the league can say what he wants. He's still making $200 million with a shoe deal, but they got to protect everybody else in that union. Well, I'll just use a case example to shout out to the biz doc of myself.

I don't think most Americans, single mom, two kids, just trying to pay her bills. I don't think she's thinking about China on a daily basis. Something, more than anything that I've learned since being on the P.B.D. podcast doing this every day is holy shit flashing red lights. Look out what's going on for China.

You know, we call the China the CCP. I think there should be another scene there. The Chinese controlling Communist Party. There's anything you don't like being in a capitalist is someone telling you this is what you need to do and this is how you live your life. They want control. They're controlling their population and next thing you know, like Gerard says, they want to control the world.

So unless the single mom of two in American Kansas wakes up and says, holy crap, this is what's going on in China, we're just kind of sleepwalking through life. Guess we know this is not our major concern, but it should be at the top of our list of the consumer. I think government's number one on your list.

I will put government in the number one most likely reason it would happen. I'm a sinner because the fan base, you know, will be fractured. Some will care some won't the face of the league will be told by the players side the players union to shut up. No no commissioner holding streaming cable satellite broadcast rights around this globe. We'll do it. But if they move on Taiwan and we move economic sanctions, the government is going to tell people to moderate business with China because we're going to try and

pull them back in line. You would hope that they would, but our government, I'm convinced half of them are holding it. You'd be surprised the economic impact on the United States, there are industries such as a semiconductor that are going to be massively impacted if China moves across there. You think chips are difficult now?

You think chips are expensive now? Let me tell you, there are three things that they're going after in China. One is this historical pride thing, but that's like number three. Number two is market share of chips. And number two is to limit the alternative manufacturing locations. Well, number one is the is to limit the alternative manufacturing locations.

Well, number one is control of information for sure. And I will say this and I agree with you and this is the beauty of this podcast and this is what we can do. We do a terrible job. I think we can all agree. We do a terrible job of this country, perhaps intentionally, of teaching what capitalism really is, of saying the consumer, the fan base, the consumer holds all the power. Right.

The government changes. Government, it changes with the winds, right? The consumer decides. You quoting Joe Durt here by the way. It's a consumer that you need to pay attention to. The consumer change, the consumer can change everything tomorrow. If you decide that you know what, in S. Canter's right, forget China. I'm not buying a single thing from the NBA that's made in China. And it wouldn't take a lot of

people. I tell this to people, oh, it's last call. I tell this to people all the time, man. Get your cigarette. With student loans. If you guys really want a student loan to go away, get on a campaign and get 3% of all people with student loans to refuse to pay them back. So you can readnegotiate. So in other words, from what we got from this discourse, back and forth, you think it's gonna be people, you think it's gonna be people,

you think it's gonna be the government or people. I think it's gonna be a Republican government. Okay, you think it's gonna be who Tom. Government. You, Ricky. I think it's gonna be the people. You think it's gonna be the people. So, I think it's gonna be the people. You think it's gonna be the people. So, I think it's, to me, I think if you guys are not saying face of the league,

I think it's players. I think if a player comes out and informs her, look, the law of EF Hut Maxwell would talk about the law of EF Hut and there is guys in the league that have a voice if they say something, it shuts the whole thing down. If LeBronk, which he'll never do, he would never do such a thing, ever do such a thing to go against China, never he would never do that. But if a guy like him came out,

if a KD came out, KD is more likely to go and say, listen, I just don't like what's going on in China. I don't support the stuff. I think KD is more likely to do something like that. I think in the NFL, I think Mahomes is a values guy. Mahomes would actually be capable of doing something like that. I think Brady's a guy that keeps his politics down,

but I think one of those major influencers to come out and then people agreeing with each other, that's something where everybody has to pay attention. I mean, look what happened with Darryl Mori. No, look what happened. I got canceled, the media. But Darryl Mori's not a top 100 influencer in the NBA. And he's back.

And he's back, right? Kyrie Irving is going. They're still shutting him up. Kyrie's not a top 10 influencer in the NBA. He's not. Pat, I'm with my homes. You need a good quarterback to be able to step out. He has not been played good lately.

It's a shot right there. He took up. What's that EF Hutton law? I don't know what that is. What does that mean? EF Hutton is. No, EF Hutton is. There's always somebody in the room that's the influencer. You have to find out who that that is. What does that mean? He has a lot of things. He has a lot of things. No, he has a lot of things.

There's always somebody in the room that's the influencer. You have to find out who that person is. Okay, you have to find out who the person is. When they speak, when he has a lot of things, everybody would listen. The he has a lot of sports needs to speak that has everyone's respect. Whoever that he has a lot of sports is,

if they talk, everyone's gonna say, shit. All right, we gotta do something to make this guy happy. So the complete opposite of a cappernick, cappernick did a video the other day talking about I don't know if you guys saw that video or not Anyways complete different story. Maybe we'll go into the Virginia story next But cappernick said something and everybody had to respond to it, right? So take a person and that guy wasn't even an EF Hutton The guy wasn't even an EF Hutton, but there's somebody that needs to come out, who isn't EF Hutton to say some like

to get people to pay attention to it. Anyways, let's have a special guest that's here today. My wife, Jennifer, is here with us. Jen, why don't you come and join us. Okay, Jennifer, come grab a seat right next to, what do you want, I'm David. You want to... I get drugs and water, do you see?

Is that a fair one to do? Is that what we want to do? Let's do that one. Okay, let's do that one because we've talked about this. This is a good one for us. Okay, page three, our friend Shack, who till today I'm blocked

because of the interview I do with Kobe. You're still blocked. I am Shack and blocked by Shack. Till today I'm blocked by Shack. He sent me a real message. He says, what a stupid question to ask Kobe. What do you mean if I had Kobe's work at the coup d'état? Who would I have been?

That's the dumbest question I've ever heard. Bam, and he blocked me. Anyways, all right, so let's go through Shaq's message to his kids. I'm rich. We're not rich. 17 killed news. Form LSU Tiger and Basketball Legends Shaqillo and Neil Deliver. It's so weird the introduction.

Why would you say former LSU Tiger? Why wouldn't it be the former Laker and be a Hall of Famer? But former LSU Tiger and basketball legend, Shakyelon, they deliver some harsh news to six children. He told them, we're not rich, I'm rich. On a recent podcast, Shack says, they're kind of upset with me, not really upset, but they don't understand the retired Hall of Fam hoop star,

says he wants his children to make his own, make their own way in the world. Onials, net worth, hovers around $400 million, but he has made it very clear to his children. He expects them to all go to college. And if they have an idea that they want to invest in, they will have to pitch it to him just like anyone else. Babe, what do you think about this story? I think that's very familiar. We go much better right there. Oh, thank you. I think it sounds very familiar because I believe you.

Do you hear it? Do you hear it or no, I don't hear it. I don't hear it. I don't hear it. No. It's giving your mic here. OK, just do this. OK. Go for it. OK.

Oh, it's better now. There's a lot of noise. OK. OK, musical mics. Sounds familiar to you. Sounds very familiar, yes, because we basically talk about the same kind of principles with our children. Whenever they're wanting anything, we talk about being able kind of principles with our children. You know, whenever they're wanting anything, we talk about being able to earn that.

Even small things, you know, if they want to buy something, they're like, well, hey, can I go get the money from my piggy bank, those piggy banks that you put together for them. Tico was like, where's the key to this mom? Because I want to buy, you know, this video game, whatever it might be. I was like, I don't know where the key is, ask your dad. So it's about the saving principle.

I intentionally lost the key. Hopefully we're gonna lose the key for like 10 years. For the safe, not just kidding. I have the key, but it's in a place that I don't even know. But I think they understand that they don't have the money because like, you know, if there's something they want to buy, you'll say, look, we'll go buy it. And the kids will be like, well, I don't have any money.

Dad, I don't have any money. So I think, you know, they understand that they're not rich. They learn the most curious one. Would you agree? Dylan's the one that says, hey, well, I don't have any money. Dad, I don't have any money. So I think, you know, they understand that they're not rich. They learn the most curious one. Would you agree? Dylan's the one that says, hey, daddy, how much is this house? I'm like, Dylan, who cares? This is, no, I want to know because my friends are asking. They say, you're rich. So how much is this house? I'm not telling you how much is this house? Somebody told me this house is a lot of money, daddy. They'll say, like, daddy, are you a millionaire yet? And then you'll say, by the way, I got to tell you what, what Dylan said. Dylan goes like this, Dylan says, hey, daddy, are you a millionaire yet? And then you'll say, you're by the way, I got to tell you what what Billin said.

Billin goes like this, Billin says, hey daddy, are you a millionaire yet? I see, you know, I would say yes. He says, but you're not a billionaire like Batman. Yeah, he says that. Batman's already building.

So he calls out, can you imagine that? He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. He's never be good at games. You're getting your game up with something that's right even feeling Joker. Yeah, yeah, we can never rise above the opinion of our children

It is true. It is true You know Santa sent us so funny. Santa's like daddy. I want a Ferrari That's great. I said daddy who's gonna buy it for you, baby? You're gonna buy it for me I'm not buying it for you. Yeah, you buy it for me. I said no, you're gonna buy it for yourself Yeah, but so you agree with what Shaq has to say. Yeah, absolutely buy it for me. I said, no, you're gonna buy it for yourself. Yeah. So you agree with what Shantcast was saying? Yeah, absolutely.

And I know I've heard the kids say other things like that. Like Sennhe says or Dylan may say, you know, I want a Lamborghini and then you'll say like, well, who's gonna buy it for you? And he's like, well, I don't have any money. And he's like, well, you gotta work to make the money to be able to buy that. So.

Do you remember that one time we're driving the car, Tico and Dylan are sitting in the backseat, and so I say, it's Papa's there, all the kids are there, and I say, hey, Tico, Dylan, are we one, they're gonna be in business together? Like, we all, me, you, Daddy, all of us are gonna be in business together. Tico and Dylan say, they look at each other.

Very seriously, they say, Daddy, it's a very serious question. Let us think about it. Yeah. It's good that you think about it. Remember that? Yeah. Yeah, let us think about it. That's a lesson out there. Let us think about it. It's good. Remember that? Yeah, let us think about it. That's a lesson out there. Let us talk to everyone out there.

You don't have an immediate answer. You said, let us think about it. Let us marinate for a second. And then 10 minutes later, I'm like, wow, these guys are wanting to think. So they're talking to each other in the back seat in the escalator. I'm like, Daddy, we talked about it. I said, okay, what do you guys want to do?

We're going to start a business together now with you. It's just going to be the smoothest. I'm like, I'm glad, Daddy. Good for you. So they're trying to say, we're I'm like, I'm chastity. Good for you. So they're trying to say, we're gonna make our own money. We don't need to help. Tom, what do you think about the story with Chad? You know, it's interesting, Jen, that story,

you know, I can kind of relate to that because I have that same conversation with Dash because I'm asking him if I can borrow some money from him. Actually, he'll buy me some of the kids making money right now. But it is something that you have to deal with for sure. Shaq's interesting because remember, he was clearly motivated by the fact that his dad didn't give a damn about him, right?

He had the song, Biological Didn't Father. So he was raised by a stepdad, a very strict military guy, made him what he is, treats him as his, but it's interesting that he has that as his background. It reminds me of what Daniel Craigstead said recently when the bond movie came out that he's having to leave any money for his kids. I just, I find it weird.

Here's my question for Shaq. You're the busiest guy in show business. There isn't a commercial you don't do. You run to Atlanta to TNT all the time. You're a police officer here. You're a DJ there. How much time are you spending with your kids? Because I've never heard about any of your kids.

I'm kind of surprised that none of them have started to excel at something. So I'm saying. We're going basketball, both of them, right? I don't know. I'm saying. You're saying basketball, hopefully, right? I don't know. I know a lot about basketball. I know a lot about basketball issues. It's hard for you to play for UCLA.

I'll get some hard issues. But when you're not around your kids as much as Shaq isn't probably, and it's just such a throwaway line saying, you go make your own money. You give me a business plan if you want to do something. I find it a little callous. That's just me personally. I get it.

You want to make your kids, but that's not my style. I gotta tell you I take the opposite of her. I absolutely love this. The fact that he's coming out and saying I'm rich. You guys you ain't nothing. You haven't proved anything to the world. There's nothing worse and this is why I respect you guys so much making your kids work for an earn it and read and shoot hoops and baskets. There's nothing with worse than entitlement. And I've grew up with a lot of rich kids in Miami. And it's always the rich kids that don't want to work for it, that just kind of feel like they're going to get the inheritance,

that always end up resulting into nothing. And it's always the one, even I'm not saying that all wealthy kids won't turn out successful, but it's the ones that their parents implement some work ethic and not the silver spoon effect that always accept. But you're making it seem like the parents that just give their kids money where they don't have to worry about it. It's the attention.

It's the focus. It's raising them the right way. I think Tom is talking about extremities. That's the extremity of like, oh, you're just getting them not, you know, help them. You know, because that's the point, like for example, my dad, two times in his life, was, would you would consider rich to us, right? And so he, uh, there was twice. And when the first time was when I was a kid, he owned a dealership, he owned a restaurant,

he owned four businesses. By the way, he had no papers, he was 20 years old and had no papers, and he owned four businesses. And I, I, I didn't know he had, I was working with the mechanic. Like, he had a dealership. So when the cars would come in, I would help the mechanic. I would move the cars, I would wash the cars. So my dad had money, but I had no idea. The second time I was 12, I was like 12 years old, he got into real estate when the real estate was booming.

And he was, he had 12 houses. I was working with the guys in the crew. I was putting them to stuck, I was like, my dad had money, I just didn't know. I didn't know until I became an adult, that there was twice because in the crew. I was putting him to stucco. I was like, my dad had money. I just didn't know. I didn't know until I became an adult that there was twice because in the market crash, he lost everything, they lost everything again twice. But he instilled that and he never did he say, well, he would tell me one day this is all going to be yours. But it's like, but for now, get trust to work. Does that make like, that's the language. Because he did want to instill like,

I'm building this for you, but you're going to earn it. So that was a lot of conversations with my dad. One day, he's not going to be yours, but then he will pick up that plywood. Pick up that sheet rock, pick up that hammer. So I worked in the cruise after school, and he would pay me, he would give me $50 a day, $250 a week, and I would have to buy my own stuff. But one day, it's going gonna be yours, but you're gonna learn the value.

So that's, you know, there's, there's two sides of it. My dad wasn't like, Shaq, like you're not gonna have it, but also he wasn't like, here you go. No, you're gonna, we're gonna learn the value of a dog. John, what do you do? What do you do on your way? What do you think about this? You know, I think it's, I think it's fun rhetoric, but I mean, if I follow Shaq on, on

Instagram and, you know, he's around his kids a lot, at leastack on Instagram and he's around his kids a lot. At least whenever he's around his kids, the camera's on anyway. Who knows? They seem like they like him. They love him. They enjoy his relationship. They love him. I think that he is trying to look.

He was born in Newark. He was raised, he wasn't raised crazy poor, but E thinks he's got an incredibly hard work ethic. And that's probably when he took on Bridge with you. By the way, Thaik Tanners, this is on you guys. There's 3 million of you. You should be peppering Shaq on Twitter every day saying hashtag sit down with PBD.

Value Tanners, this is it. What are you doing guys? This is Apes Together Strong moment here. We need 3 million of you, just a pepper Shaq, Instagram and Twitter for the next two days. Tell them to come sit down and piece it up. The next sit down after Mopfius Tates is PBD at Jack, all right? So the, look, I think it's great to instill a work ethic.

My father was the same way. You never, you never got anything. You had to earn everything. And it did get, as you got older and you understood, it did become frustrating. It became frustrating like that. He's like, well, you know older and you understood, like it did become frustrating. It became frustrating like that. All right, he's like, well, you know you got to earn it. I'm like that. Well, what's the deal?

Like, come on, what's the deal? Like, can I have it or not? Like, what are we doing here? So I think, look, I'm not a parent. I don't know how it goes. You gotta be a teacher. You have to teach them. You have to instill them.

Discipline is everything. You want, you know, we talk about the past. We've talked about this extensively. Like, how do you give you, when you give your kids everything you never had, they become everything that you never were. We talk about this. We talk about that a lot.

You know, so it's like, how do you, your success comes from your struggle, but your kids are never gonna have that struggle. And you can't really emulate that too much because then they'll grow to resent you, right? So I tell you, I don't know. I like what he does. As kids seem to love him, I think you walk that, you know, that's kind of like every great coach, every great mentor, every great boss, every, every great

friend you've ever had knows when to push and knows when to pull. Yeah. Good feedback there. Ladies, if you're folks, if you're watching, it's in about five minutes, we're going to do the next giveaway, which is going to be what a Louis Vuitton scarf. It's going to be thei Birch, a sandals, and it's gonna be the Gucci wallet, which is like $1,300. We'll do that here next, $20.

Super Chat, you'll be in the raffle. You got probably five more minutes to get that $20. And to be in the next Super Chat. Here's what I would tell you. A guy named Art Williams, who is the founder of A.O. Williams, used to be with a company called Larry Widelin Bell and Reed, and then he left and it became PrimeraCity, grew about it, all this stuff. It's term insurance company.

This to just do it, guys. That's right. That's to just do it. Yes. Art Williams. So he said when he was a coach and he was working with coach Bear Brian or he was a coach himself, he would tell us players, you better get your ass off the field if you're injured. Don't even think about if you're injured to lay down there. Get up and get to the sidelines. Don't even walk slowly to the sidelines. I'm not gonna come and get you.

You get your ass up and get to the sidelines. That's what he would say. He says, but in a leadership recording, he said the following. He said, but let's face it, if I knew they couldn't get up, I'm gonna go pick them up and bring them to the sidelines. But you never tell them to believe that because you want them to use as much of their own sheer strength

to stand up. So a big part of parenting could be, listen dude, you gotta figure this thing out for yourself. You gotta pull yourself, you know, you got your little red wagon to pull, whatever, you know, the Michaels legacy, the Aguilar, the Xenor legacy, the elsewhere legacy, but David, you know, one day,

Saasnick legacy, you gotta go do your part. But if shit had to fan, you know who's the first person that's gonna go wrong. You know it. You know if some happens, his son needs something, you know you're the first person to go there. So, but the tricky question is the following. Here's a tricky question.

Do you guys believe you're gonna leave inheritance to your kids? Yes. Whatever you have, are you gonna leave a hundred percent with your kids? No. Whatever you have, are you not at a hundred percent part? Absolutely.

Where are you at? You're at the... They don't Absolutely. Absolutely. Where are you at? You're at the. They don't need to wait for me to leave them an inheritance for Kim and I to leave them inheritance because we're given them vision, purpose, and education. And I pointed out to them that says, look, you got to go get your grades and you get it your test scores so that you have the maximum number of opportunities, whether that's college, whatever it is in life, you want the maximum opportunities, you need to work to get it. And I've sent Bailey articles and student loans. I said, you are blessed because you're not going to get out of college for student loans.

So you won't have that burden as you produce the opportunity following your education. And so that I give them purpose. I give them vision. I may teach them consequence. If you slack now, you're going to limit the number of opportunities. You work hard, you can have the maximum number of colleges. You're going to do 100%. You're going to do 100%. I don't know who else would be more worthy than my kids. I mean, I list there's some charitable cause or something. Okay. Or something. Let me ask you question. Are you going to do 100%? Give it your kids all your all your every Uber, you know, like frequent flower miles you have, are you gonna give all your money 100% to your kids?

No, I don't think 100% What would you give them? Certainly some inheritance, but people forget how long people live and you're gonna use a lot of your, not everyone has $20 million, $10 million But I'm saying that when you die, when you die, is your estate gonna say 100% your money goes to your kids or is it gonna go to some chairs?

I assume most people, if they're doing well, they have a trust and they have a trustee. I'm asking you, why is your 100% gonna go to all that? But to you, is it gonna go 100% to your family, wife and kids? A large portion, I will say 100. Okay, so then here's the other question. What about you? Here's the other question. Let me give you the other question.

I'll give my answer as well. Here's the other question. The question, this is the real question. You got four kids. You got two kids. You got three kids. You got 10 million in your state, 20 million in your state. Are you given every kid equally the same amount? Oh, that's a good question. That ripped my family apart. Man, the other people don't have to get the least. This is it. You're calling one of your kids out there.

All the chances are amazing. Let's go. They're going to come back and see this thing. I want to hear this story. Now, this RIPPAS family part was not a lot of money. It was not a significant amount of money. But my mom is one of eight kids. And my grandmother, my grandmother only left six of them money.

And left two people out. Left two people out. And there was property that she only gave to three. And I got to be honest, and I love my grandmother more than any human being that's ever walked the space of the earth. I loved that woman to death. That was an addictive move. But what was her reason? What was her reasoning?

Did she have one? Do you know her reasoning? She had reasons. And then afterwards, it was the brothers and the sisters got together and they were like, look, Grandma had to mention at the end, she was angry. Look, let's just do the right thing and split this thing evenly. And some of the people were like, no, we're going with her last wishes. And they're like, you're greedy.

And it has nothing to do with greed. It's we're honoring our mother's wishes. And it ripped the family apart. Rip the family apart. It's till today. Till today. They won't go to each other's funerals. Like rip them apart.

They'll never speak to each other again. And I'm telling you that we spent every Christmas together. We spent every holiday together. Interesting. No matter how far on the island and about how south they got this was a tight, tight, tight family, or a rental park. A horrible position to put your mother in. Where she has to go ask for something that she probably deserved.

Or if you're going to keep people out, you got to tell them why. I think, I mean, there's got to be a reason for it. The first relationship broke down early before. I'm interested, Tom, like you're not afraid that you're daughter and your daughters love you, the death. You're not afraid they your daughter's and your daughters love you, the death. You're not afraid they're gonna resent you. If you, they know that what money you have and that money's gonna leave the family.

At least you could like leave them in the will and say, here's everything, this is what I would do with it. I would try to do it. I'm giving 100%. Oh, okay, so I'll tell you what we're doing. It says, it's gonna be a trustee or a foundation depending on the size. And there'll be

something for Bailey, something for Brooke, and then they will be trustees of the trust and the foundation. And we are going to already be instilling in them in the things that we support and the things that we do. They will already be, unless I die in a plane crash tomorrow afternoon, they will already be instilled. We're already going to teach them what we're doing and so when that's when it's over They don't have to wait for the reading of the will they'll say well, I've got something here I've got something here. I have no education debt. Hope I've made something myself And then we're both trustees to keep doing what mom and dad were doing from the day that we were old enough to understand what they did with their money I

I think so I had a story from what, and then we'll transition to the, you got two more minutes folks if you wanna get that Tori Birch Sandals. What is it? Louis, Louis Zahar and Guchi Waller. We'll do that in two minutes here. So, that's for every woman value tanner and every Persian value tanner.

Yeah. Oh, Persian and Michoacan, how Lee Skumpield, Mexican, Ricky, and he's got a bird that's been anything all out there. Ricky's like, I got a person and Michoacana, I'll leave you a second. Ricky, you're a scared about this than anything I'll have to. Ricky's like, I got a call from every already. Ricky heard Louis Vuitton scarred

from things that are starting to pop up. So when we had one of our, one of the successful friends of the family we had in Iran was a lady named Shidrin. They had a, some name Ali, who ended up being a doctor and I don't know what the sister's name was, could have been he or saw or something like that

Anyways, so the way they did it is They said it was so interesting my mom told me the story they gave their wealth while they were alive because they didn't want Their kids to be think waiting for them to die so they get the money So they gave it while they were alive. Yeah, so they're like, you know what listen? Here's what we have here's a money you're getting right now while we're alive Let's just enjoy we don't want you to be like one is mom done one is that then yeah, so you know what? Listen, here's what we have. Here's the money you're getting right now. While we're alive, let's just enjoy. We don't want you to be like, one is my dime, one is that dime. Yeah.

So, you know, that's one part, but the other part also, like if you got a kid that ends up being a bad habits, drugs, all this other stuff, he's gonna ruin his life. There was a book by Jim Stovall called The Ultimate Gift. Yes, it's a great book. It's a great book. We've probably given a few thousand copies

of this book away. I think you gave that to me like the first week we were dating as well. That's right. I probably did the ultimate gift. Yeah, yeah, it gave you a book first week of dating. He gave me several books. Yeah, but the first book I gave you was a Yeah, the first was 101 questions. Yes, before you get engaged. Yeah, that's second date. Second date. Second date. At border. He came on Sunday in here. Yes. He knew what he wanted. Yeah. Second date and then we had a meeting Saturday for how many hours? Like six maybe? Six hours we went through

every question. Not a date, a meeting. I like it. Just got that a meeting. I love how you tell a girl you're going to give her the ultimate gift and you had her a boss. Well, my my lawyer showed up her lawyer showed up. It was very romantic. Both legal team was

there. We had a mediator off to the side of court reporter. By the way, Jen, you know, Senna says, you're gonna give me a Corvette or a Ferrari. We're pink Ferrari. You know when she does her little daddy that you know there's one kid that's gonna get it at Senna. But I don't know about that. I don't think we would do that to her.

No. You don't know me too well. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think Senna could pull it out. I'm saying if there's one kid that can pull it out of you. Let me explain it to you though. Here's how I work. The way I work is very simple. We have in every possible way, it's all about incentives. You hit it, I want to do more for you. I don't want to do less for you. I'm all about more. So if you want it xyz, I want to do even more, but I want

you to hit a certain earlier numbers, performance, giving your best behavior, attitude, all that stuff. I want to be able to do that. So there's going to be some kind of a structure for the kids to be able to get more than others. They're all going to be in a pretty decent situation, but some of them are going to get more the others business-wise. Here's how I'm going to do when the guys have an idea to run a business. My approach for business is going to be the following way.

You come, you don't talk to me, you talk to him, you don't talk to me with your business ideas because I don't want to have that kind of relationship with you. If you need me on a chair, no problem. If you need me as an investor, no problem. You have to convince him, you have to convince the lawyers, not me. So you talk to them, they hold you accountable to the money, they hold you accountable to what you do. Those guys are getting a fee of what the company does good. So they're not going to be like, oh, here you go, $17 million. Here you go, it's a million dollars. Here you go. $300,000. In return, I'm in the back. I'm just simply the one that's the chair, but he's holding you accountable. The board is holding you accountable. That's the way I'm going to approach it with these kids. Now,

we're going to find that in eight years if it's right or wrong. And then we'll talk about on the podcast. I said we talked about it in 2020. So it's 2,100. By the way, you know what Shack does that have said? And this whole conversation just started with Shack and the hair. You know that he has something that he calls the Shack tank, right? Like a shark tank. Yeah. Well, he'll have investors come in and pitch him for 15 minutes while he's got his, you know, board of trustees or his conglomerate around him and they pitch him what the idea

So that's probably what is gonna have his kids do is comment and pitch the group on their ideas He's not gonna give his cut kids stuff for free. There's gonna be incentive programs We talked about Dwayne Johnson being president one day. I would vote for Shakyel Niles president Okay, I imagine shek as a president I would vote for Shakyel Niles president Press conferences would be great. Yeah, would you always do it? Would he be the most dominant? Would you be the most dominant? Yeah. Would he be the most dominant?

Yeah. Can I tell you the first time I saw Shaq playing in the pool? He was in high school. I saw Shaq playing high school. Right before he went to LSU, he played at the US Olympic festival. He used to have this in off Olympic years.

He was in the American team. Played at Williams Arena, a mini-apples Minnesota. I wanted to the game, didn't know who he was. There was a half-hour delay in the game because he tore down the rim and he blocked 20 shots. Can you imagine Shaq against high school kids? I saw it. It was unbelievable.

By the way, LSU record, I think 14 or 15 blocks in a game. I remember that game when he did that. He was insane. His rookie or LSU tiger? Shaq. Not Laker, not Hina. We went to a special... What was the penalty-yulty movie with him and at the ball? Yeah, yeah, chips. Not chips, it blew chips. Yeah, that Laker, not Heena. We went to a special movie with him and Ed. Yeah, chips, not chips.

It was a huge hit. By the way, we went to a Lakers event with, do you remember that Lakers event? One would shack and James Wardee came over, said hello, that whole we were playing basketball on the stable. Yeah, it was really a great experience. Shack's the speaker.

Shack comes in. He gets up. So Shack, you know, your kids, you know, they wanted them, looks like he's going to have a career. What college are going to put him into? He says, I'm going to put him in LSU. They pay the speaker. Shaq comes in. He gets up. So Shaq, you know, your kids, you know, they wanted them looks like he's gonna have a career. What college gonna put him into? He says, I'm gonna put him in a lawsuit. They pay the best. Every time he was like, why? Anyways, Samo, get in here. It's time for Rappel.

Is it really 800 fantastic fantastic fantastic. Okay awesome. All right let's get to the next story here. How about we talk about what happened in Virginia? Are you okay if we talk about what happened in Virginia? I don't

want to story really bad. All right let's go through this. So politics go to page five with what happened in Virginia. Congratulations. For the Virginians. Republican Glenn Youngkin defeats Democrat Terry McCollough in high sticks Virginia governor election. This is an insider story. In Virginia's Goobernoto election,

he won two days race was the biggest test a president Joe Biden and his party strengths and Democrats won back in the White House in November of 2022. And a Senate in January, Runkin' a wealthy former private equity executive and a co-CEO of the Carlisle group as a political newcomer and funded much of his own campaign, a campaign trail. Youngin depicted himself as an economic conservative

and largely avoided discussing former president Trump who lost Virginia by double digits in 2020, Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington shared a statement on Twitter saying that Trump and Youngin get along very well together and strongly believe in many of the same policies. At the same time, the biggest story, believe it or not, wasn't the governor, it was a Lieutenant Governor Marine,

veteran, when some seers becomes first female a woman of color elected as Virginia's Lieutenant, governor, CBS news Republican, when some seers was elected as Virginia's new Lieutenant Governor Tuesday and I become the first woman, a female first woman of color to serve in that position. I'm at last for awards for the first time in my life. Sears set an address to supporters on election night.

What you are looking at is the American dream, the American dream. This is the not the first barrier Sears has broken Sears or US Marine veteran previously served in Virginia's House of Delegates. She was a first black Republican woman, first female veteran and first legal immigrant woman. I think she's from Haiti. She's from Jamaica woman elected to that position. She says honor campaign website when my father came to this country, August 11 1963, he came at the height of the civil rights movement from Jamaica and he only came with a dollar

75. She said on the victory speech, When I joined the Marine Corps, I was still age-a-makin, but this country had done so much for me. I was willing, willing to die for this country. How big of a deal is this, the fact that Republicans, one Virginia, time are going through first?

I think it's a huge, huge deal that has implications going into the midterm. And the Democrats are in disarray. And I'm going to curse. Starting with the sleeping shitter, you know, everybody from the top down is freaking out about what's going on. This morning I was reading, James Carvell came up and said, we need to go to the Woke Detox Center because the deep fund police lunacy

and take Lincoln names off schools as being noticed by mainstream Americans and voters and they don't like it. On the other side, the far left where 5% are, cat man, you know Omar said, we need to double down because this race baiting that defeating us, by the way, she said that. This race baiting that defeated us, wait the way, she said that. This race baiting that defeated us, wait a minute,

she's got that flipped over. Yeah. So, and then Tim Cain, Democrat Ohio, he said, let me tell you folks, we better get our act together because this is the ghost of Christmas future. Wasn't Tim Cain a VP candidate? Yes, he was. Six years ago.

Wasn't he from Virginia at the time? And then now he's Democrat Ohio. Well, you know, once upon a time Hillary was in Arkansas and she was in New York. Yeah. And Jeff, Virginia was alive. But look at that. You've got moderation from Tim Cain,

reasonable statement. Carvell freaking out saying, hey, all the stuff that we did with deep on the police and all the take Lincoln on school is it bad. And then Omar saying, no, no, no, we need to double down. It's like there's three parties in a Democrat party and they're all freaked out. But I'm so really, really proud to see a person that came over and she's Lieutenant Governor now, her speech, her story. I think to me, that's the biggest story of the election. As someone comes from

somewhere and they can add what do you think your thoughts? I think you're missing the the biggest story is that this non-politician came in there and he actually ran as a traditional economic conservative Republican. He did not embrace Trump at all and actually he said I'm here for Virginia. Let's keep this election about Virginia. Trump. I don't need you on this one, buddy And that's the playbook if you want to win the general election if you're a Republican if you want to win your state and saying Hey, Trump, I respect you. Thank for all you've done. I'm good Because it's all about converting yes, if you're gonna embrace Trump and run to the Maga crowd Sure, you're gonna get that but you're not gonna win a state like Virginia Buy in one Virginia by I think double digit points.

A year ago, one year ago. And now, Terry McCollough, who was the governor of Virginia, what, 10 years ago, running again, lost to Junkin. The playbook here is that you don't need Trump to win. You're gonna get moderates like myself or people that could go either way and say, you know what, the best ideas are with this guy, Youngkin. This guy, um, in terms of

shot himself in the foot because you made a lot of comments about parents and school and, you know, critical race and stuff like that. And people said I'm sick of that. And you have the, people like James Carville and Tim, Tim Cain. But that wasn't the worst thing he said. He told parents that they have no business. That's what he said. He said, no to cozy up to Trump in order to win. That's gonna be the playbook for other moderate Republicans moving forward.

Is that, look, fight your fight. You don't need Trump there for you backing you up. You can win without Trump. And I hope to see that happen. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Virginia's a blue state. You think the Republicans won? You don't think democrats flipped?

That's this point. That's literally what i just said I just talked about republican moderating republicans that you don't need trump with moderating republicans You didn't tell them you didn't say that democrat or the ones that flipped Because that's what ended up happening here I'm saying independence and moderate democrats flipped Yes, exactly what i'm saying So i think what he's saying is if he had embraced trump Those that flipped may not have it.

Because of the precisely, I don't agree with that. Why is that? Tell us what. I don't agree with it because people are tired of the woke left. Trump or no Trump, people are tired of it. They're tired, they're done of you telling them how to live their life.

Trump or no Trump, I think Virginia was in a flip. Yeah, but I'll say this, I think the Republican strategist over here, I think does have a valid point because look at California Regret look at killing worse sick of the walk mentality too, but we didn't get rid of Gavin Newsom I think this is a win for common sense California is a whole different demon. All right, okay, it is compared to Virginia Okay, let's talk about Virginia for a second. I think this is a win for sanity I think this is a win for common sense if you have is a win for common sense, if you have hope, because he flipped this thing

in the last month or two. I mean, he was way behind in the polls. And when this idiot McCollough went out there and started talking about CRT, you know, telling the parents they have no trace, that was it. The suburban mom says, you're done, right? And that's how I think it's going to be in other parts of the country as well. I disagree, I disagree, and this is why. I would hope that they're going to flip, because a lot of people who have been talking to

me about that too, that this is going to gonna be a purple state and so I'm gonna tell you why I'm gonna tell you why I don't think that it is because there are some strategists and I talked to a couple of them and they're like our policies worked. In Jackson Arelly only lost in New Jersey even though they called it even though the votes aren't fully tallied yet, maybe 2,000 votes. He's had 10,000 people in Phil Murphy alone in the last four years has had 100,000 people that would have voted against him, leave the state.

So what they're saying is, is now there's four years where they can widen that gap. Let's get more of these independence out. Let's strengthen our base. Let's get these small business owners out. Let's get these older people out. Let's use our policies. And what Elon Omar is saying, you know, she's a dog whistle, and she's using coded language.

But what she's saying is that we need to primary these moderates. Just this Democrats, that far left, they do not go after the right. They don't run in blue count in purple areas, and they don't run in red areas. They find blue strongholds, and they run far to the left of the incumbents, what they did with New York and AOC. AOC didn't, she wasn't some young whippersnapper, then unseated a Republican. She wasn't some young whippersnapper that came in and shook something up. She took a district that was Democrat

for 70 years and made it socialist. They run to the left of the left. That's what Elon Omar is doing. And that's what they're looking at Michigan right now where they're literally burning documents. They're actually burning documents of Michigan right now because- I'm not going to do much for a while.

I'm going to see that. No, I'm much the mistress. Yeah, I'll be in. But that works in districts. That doesn't work on a national or state level. Everything's nonsense. It definitely works on a state level and it works. Politics start local and they branch regional.

If you make it untenable for a voting base to stay, they leave. They come to Florida. They leave. They go to North Carolina. So this 2000, remember, there's over a million, over one million more registered Democrats in New Jersey than Republicans. There's more registered Democrats in New Jersey than there are registered any other political affiliation combined outside of independence.

And they, and he won by 2,000 votes after a hundred thousand people left. In the next four years, if he does the mandates again, if he shuts businesses down again, another hundred thousand a guy will body in the next year, it actually, it actually strengthens his power to hurt his state. I mean, so that's something you got to be very, very aware of, the actual politics, the political machinations behind this. You'd like to see it, but what I do hope on a federal level with the midterms coming up is people look at what Joe Manchin did.

He held the line. He didn't allow himself to get bullied, Kristen Sikham, didn't allow himself to get bullied. They tried to force this in before these elections now Joe Manchin holds the keys to the Democratic Party you got people that are coming up in these purple areas in these purple districts and they're looking at Joe Manchin saying man he's got a point Joe Manchin could run this party if he really wants to Joe Manchin is the guy that says all right now you guys come to me all right he realizes realizes that? I do. I really do.

And the shadow speaker of the house. The third point I have on this is that, man, I love how much immigrants love this freaking country, man. And this is something that a Republican party screwed up with for 40 freaking years with their hard line against immigration. You look at what Win some seers is, you look at what Pat is, you look at what people are, man. And they come to this country and they're

willing to fight for this country. I would love, like Israel has the birthright where you want to go to Israel. We should have a birthright. You want to be a communist, you get two years in any communist country that you want. We'll buy you the ticket there. You buy the ticket back, all right? You want to be a communist? Birthright.

Birthright, here you go. $2,000 American tax dollars. Enjoyed Venezuela for two years. Come on back and let's have a conversation. That was Pitbull's message at his concert about a month ago, you see that? No, Pitbull talking to the crowd. The USC fighter with the long hair too.

As for the dogs, the dogs are doing the same thing. Yeah, so let me go back to the question here, because this is the part, I'm curious on what you guys, because he took it there and we went a little bit, but we didn't fully go there. So, Trump three days ago said, this guy's gonna make a great governor. He flat out said it.

So, that is a form of an endorsement. Then they had a call yesterday after winning. And of course, he's playing the card of listen, this is about Virginia, this is not about Trump. I'm just trying to do this to win this. I'm here for the state. Does Trump's endorsement mean today what it meant three years ago?

Yes. Do you think it's stronger? I think it's stronger. I think it's stronger. Trump's endorsement mean today what it meant three years ago. Yes. Do you think it's still me? I think it's stronger. I think it's stronger. I don't think it's saying no. I'm saying no. I'm saying no.

I'm saying no. We're tired of it. I mean, I wasn't, you know, I was in favor of what he did as president, but I'm not signing up for another four years of that. I think there's a better alternative. No, there's not. There's not, but what we're,

what we're failing to understand is that when pets, pets, that's something very true. Uh, a while back, he says, when you go too far left, it creates a far right. When you go too far right, it creates a far left. Yeah, right. Because it, so what happened is that right now, bro, there's people still with trunk legs.

People are there, there's, there's bolt rallies. He just had a one. Yes, his words still carry away. Maybe not with you, but that's how you want things. And I don't care. And I'll say that it carries away with me. Because if he endorsed somebody, I'm like, hey, bro, you were in the office.

You dealt with these guys more than I did. If you think he does direction, that's direction. By the way, I don't agree with everything because he created the vaccine. I'm not, I'm not asking vaccine, but. Let me tell you something. You as sincere and as heartfelt as you are, you might be literally the most irrelevant voter in America.

You're a Republican in California. You carry zero weight. You can't even win your state. The fact that you love Trump is irrelevant. California ain't going to Trump. You can't get Gavin News in on my office and everyone hates him. Your opinion is great in Glendale,

or wherever you live, Bakersfield. It's irrelevant the fact that you love Trump. You need someone like Tom to say, I'm back on the Trump train, baby. You need someone like me saying, you know what, this guy fucking poopy pants Biden, I can't do it again. Right.

Trump ain't gonna do it, homie. And that's why I'm saying you're opinion is irrelevant. I think you're wrong. I just think you're wrong. You how do you have boat rallies? I have $300 worth of bullshit quartered rickies. I'm saying that you're wrong. And I need $700 pesos more, buddy.

Did you hear the deal that we did, by the way? You didn't hear about the other way? You seen the rickies pointing his car for sale. Yeah. And he's been riding around horses. Okay. You didn't hear about that the other way thing. You seen that Ricky's pointing his car for sale. Yeah. And he's been riding around horses. Okay. So he's complaining about gas prices and inflation and I said, Ricky, I'm gonna do your favor.

There's shipping crisis and supply crisis supply chain. I did it. I said, Ricky, I'm gonna do your favor. I'm gonna take your car off your hand. It's fine. I got you. I'll pay the shipping fees. I'll pay the gas three bucks here in Florida.

Thank you. I'll pay for the shipping. You just ride your horse around in Bakersfield. We'll be okay. And I'll spot you gas three bucks here in Florida. Thank you. I'll pay for the shipping. You just ride your horse around in Bakersfield We'll be okay, and I'll spot you the 700 extra dollars So you don't have to worry about it. We'll call ourselves even so I'll just send you send the number say he's over here to Let me just say this one point. I think Trump is a release for people that are so fed up with some of the crap that's going on So he goes and does a rally where he knows he's going to be embraced and he still is a brand.

But I think the times call for a very serious politician. Of course. And somebody that really, really has the best entrance of the country at the heart and is smart and strategic and has a proven track record. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much.

You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. You don't get so much. I'm centering on this day. Hold on. So Tom has been indoctrinated. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. So the highest stock market in American history, lowest unemployment in America is increasing.

Right now is the current high stock market in American history. Right now. Because inflation. Inflation. Without inflation, the highest stock market in American history, the lowest unemployment in American history, energy independent, lower tensions with Russia and North Korea. That's not a track record. Look, I'm just saying, but there's the other side of that,

which divides the country and someone else can do what he does in a different style and way. What other presidents haven't done it? Well, to me, this is what it comes down to. I'm gonna get facts. 44 other presidents haven't done it. Let me ask you, you're the most irrelevant voter in America.

Congratulations. It's not about being irrelevant. It reminds me of the factions back in the day with like Jerry Fallwell and stuff like that where you'd have to go get the evangelical faction, right? The the DeSantis voter, let's say, right? Every single Trump guy they can they can you know, yell scream every single Trump guy would vote for DeSantis. There are people who voted for Biden who would vote for DeSantis. There's not a single

not a one single Biden voter who would vote for Trump. Yeah, no, no, I, guys, I think, do you understand when he just said that? I give, but you're not understanding what I'm telling you. I'm not a Trump guy. Not okay. You know what I'm not. I like what he did because I look at the facts. I think it was necessary as well.

He was a necessary, bro. I don't, there's only one man that I like. There's only one man that I recognize. That's God. I said, well, that'll not analyze another man. I don't, he He broke. There's only one man that I like. There's only one man that I like. That's God. I don't analyze another man. He's not my savior. I household, I was slain weed when George Bush was president. Allegedly.

Allegedly. When I was searching, like, I don't need a man to fix my life. But what I'm saying is to say that he didn't do a good job with this country. It's completely ignorant. To say that he only did a bad job would be naive. But to say he only did a good job would be naive. I'm not telling you that's the case. There's a gray area there, buddy.

I'm not telling you that's not the case. But in 44 presidents haven't been able to do what he did. That's the fact. What do you mean? But it was another person that donated to do a strong job. But it was another person that donated to do a strong job. And a very good, his story. So you're basically saying Trump is the best president ever. For what? Has another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom.

But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom.

But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom.

But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it from the bottom. But it was another president that had an idea to do it and the Black communities, it was the lowest in history. So what I'm telling you is this, when you look at the facts and you compare, if I have to go between Biden or Trump, but now if there's a dissatisfaction in the mix, of course, the Sats is going to be the best, because he's going to win over people more. But right now, we're not there. We're so extreme on both sides. That your Republican party nominates someone like the Sanctus and not strong. By the way, dissatisfaction, or you will run away in a heartbeat. How useless is my libertarian party that in this

area where nobody wants a Republican or a Democrat, they can't even get you five percent of the vote. I didn't hear what you just said. If the rock ran as a little Jerry, I said, how useless is my libertarian party that in an era where literally nobody wants to vote Republican or Democrat, they can't even count. Oh, because they don't have a market can't even count. Because they don't have a marketable candidate. That's all they don't have a marketable candidate. Look at who you guys are on.

Joe Jorgensen and Gary Johnson over the last. I like Gary Johnson, but yeah, you like Gary Johnson. I did like Gary Johnson. All right, so I got a, okay, yeah, this is a good time to do it. And then we'll do the PS5. If you want to do that, we got a special surprise here for everybody before we wrap this up. And while you're doing that, while you're doing that, we have time to go into the story, the story that Tom and Adam,

give us two minutes, give us two minutes, Samuel, this is a story that we have to verify this happen or not. So this is not a snope story. This is a guardian gazette story. Biden reportedly pooped his pants at the Vatican. Reports are broken out of Rome, the. Biden reportedly pooped his pants at the Vatican. Reports have broken out Rome, the state Joe Biden pooped himself while meeting up with Pope Francis.

Rumors have been floating around that Rome, that Biden unusual long meeting with the Pope wasn't because the two were best friends, but rather it was a result of Biden having an accident. According to American journalist Jack Posabick, the live stream of Biden and the Pope meeting was suddenly cut off when the two met, which raised many speculations how it was noted by the other sources on the ground and

Rome that Biden had a bathroom accident. After the news broke out, users on Twitter created memes and even had poopy pants, Biden trending on Twitter. Other users pointed out that Biden had different pants after meeting the pope. Then he had on before meeting the pope, according to Alex Jones, the host at Infowars Secret Service frequently reported Biden's soil. Names of Jones reported on Biden being unable to control bowel movements came two weeks ago, but now it looks like his reporting isn't a conspiracy after all.

After the legit accident, Biden looked very lost as world leaders gathered together at the G20 Rums Summit. Photo app, Biden was lined up all the way to the left, usually the US president stands in the middle, but Biden isolated himself from everybody and chose to stand off to the side. Do you think this happened? I'm so hurt. I don't so hurt. I just, I'm not even a given opinion here. I'm just going to give.

I've watched both CNN MSNBC cover this this, and I've watched Fox News, and apparently this Guardian. It just amplifies how polar opposites we are living in in this world right now. On one hand, they're showing images of Biden and the Pope getting along best of friends. Look at these guys, they juxtaposed that with how upset the Pope was with Trump or didn't have a smiley face on their basically

showing how all right there best of friends that's great and you turn on site happen both exactly and then you turn on to the conservative media and it's like much is pants it happened facts he can't control himself it's been

it's like it's been here so you know guys go ahead be be children and comment on this story. Do you think that, do you think, go ahead children? That it is, Adam Sosco, I'm a big children, that's hilarious. Do you think that it's a bad thing, that it's completely and totally plausible? Yes. Whether it happened or not, do you think it's a bad thing that is completely and

totally plausible that the leader of the free world should have passed in front of the president one person that doesn't think that is probably happened we don't know that's like saying you think trump got pissed on by a bunch of uh... prostitute it's not like saying that all because i think that's actually more likely trump can't stop i'm not a prostitute very likely but i'm not heard about it you're heard about it first of all her family her in all fair about it. First of all, first of all, I'm just saying that. You're feeling so hurt. In all fairness.

I'm good. Zero relevance. In all fairness to poopy Joe, he you have not sent cast a first though. I've poofed my pants. I'm on the leave of all the year. There it is. There's a short clip right now. I pooped my pants.

You're on admitting that he's a poopy pants. Here's the deal. It wasn't when I was dressed in, I had the flu and I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the New Jersey turn bike and I had literally no other options. I wasn't so excited to see the flu and I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the New Jersey turnpike and I had literally no other options. I wasn't so excited to see the pulp that I shit myself, but you know, maybe I don't know. I don't know, like maybe who's a superstar? Maybe if I maybe if I got a chance to meet Johnny Bench, I'd shit myself too.

I don't know, like maybe I do. This is where we're at right now. He who have not said exactly this is where we're at right now that the leader of the free world met the leader of one of the largest religious sex in the world It was like maybe and it's completely possible. Yeah, and then you took a page out of his book and admitted that you do the same Hey, may he who out not send me every infant on earth Pat's new puppy and the president of the United States. We just let it fly It's I saw shit to giggles wrong

It's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shit It's okay though no no mean tweets though no mean tweets. So it's a little orange man still bad Leave me this story, you know, I think it's a metaphor for his presidency. You know, I think it's... As Virginia goes, the rest of the country goes. Adam, why does this bother you so much? It does bother you so much. I just think it's very clearly bothers me.

I think it's like we're having so many intellectual conversations, we're actually having a good debate. And it's like, let's end with a shit story. You don't think it's weird that everybody in the world literally believes that, yeah, this guy could have shit in the back. Well, here's the big question. Everybody in the world, right? We all think it probably did happen,

but why can't you just excuse yourself and go find a restroom for God's sake? Don't you think that probably happened? Well, number two is the restroom. Number two, I have a problem with him in a car like Gerard. I have a problem with him. He was in a car like Gerard. I have a problem with him nodding off at that other meeting. I mean, take this, that is actually true.

I have a bigger problem with that. Not kidding, but it's a metaphor for everything. Every day there's something about him that just doesn't seem presidential and we're the ones that are suffering because of it as a country. What about you one here? Didn't they say that literally about Trump every day

doesn't seem presidential? I'm gonna be so presidential when I get elected. Yeah, who's they? Yeah, but this goes back to my point. You're right. We get Biden and Trump out of office and get someone actually credible in there. Stop it with the Trump office.

Adam, I need you to admit right now on air that the guy you voted for shit himself. You know, I'll admit that you just admitted that you shit yourself on the regular. You've never shit yourself. Not since I'm a grown up, most four years old, maybe. No, wait, one time, you've never put for the best.

Not a heavy shard. That's not all that too much. Hey, you're right right now. This is your topic. This is where we're at right now. All right, so this is great. Can we get some pamphlets for Gerard, Anjo Biden while we're at it?

Look, this seems to be quite the shit, Sean. Hey! There you go. Kai's officially comedian. Good. Look, this seems to be quite the shitshow. There you go. Kai's officially comedian. Good. Kai, that was impressive. Good for you. Okay, all right.

So let's do the last one here. And then let's do the cake first. Okay, bring it in here. Let's take a look at this cake. I haven't seen the cake yet myself by the way. So a hundred episode cake. Let's see what this thing looks like. Who made it?

Is this one that Adam made or? Oh, man. Look at Mario. Mario. Mario. Hey, Mario. Who made it is this is this one that Adam made or look at Mary oh Marry if you drop it I swear to God It actually does look good it actually does look legit wow I like it Adam. What do you think?

This was fantastic Tom Tom Gerard Ricky Adam the last thing we got to do is Samvel come and tell us and show us who's gonna win the PlayStation 5. This is your last chance Folks by the way a lot of good comments here tonight about what today about what the podcast is doing a couple things

I do want to tell you guys what we're going through this We are in the process of buying a building we were gonna buy two buildings one of the offers the other guy came in and closed I don't know what it was, at $459, and if that offer was gonna drive, we were gonna buy this building at $15 million, but we did end up buying another building, and the new podcast set will be coming out here soon, pending a glass shown up from China.

It's a whole different comp literally, but one of the things we're thinking about doing with the podcast is we're gonna set up The podcast set in a way where we may do a live podcast once a month where people can buy ticket coming actually watch the podcast live I think that'll be real sick to have an audience. They're doing it together and then we may be going to three episodes a week The keyword in that sentence is a very technical word. It's man We may eat going and what we are talking what it means is in May.

Oh, in May. But what, and the whole thing what you get. But the biggest thing is we may test out doing two, the Tuesday, Thursday episode. We may test out a Friday afternoon episode for just to see how that's gonna do with this. It's gonna be three or five or four to six. We don't know yet, but we may test out a Friday afternoon episode for just to see how that's gonna do with this. It's gonna be three or five or four to six. We don't know yet, but we may test out something

that's gonna be on a Friday afternoon. Go ahead, Gerard. Let me ask you before you wrap up, the your 100 episodes in. Is this, has this turned into what you expected it to be? What have you learned along the way? Has the audience been there? Like what, what's this experience for you?

Let me tell you what I love about. What happened to him? You good? Nothing. You were making some weird noises there. It's like, happy trails, right? What was the journey? No, no, no, I will tell you this.

That's a great question. I will tell you that what this has done, the podcast has done is it is created an open platform for us to talk about real issues that people are thinking about, but you're told by society that you shouldn't talk about these things. I like talking about stuff that people don't want to talk about. I'm interested in that.

And I think these things we talk about, there's an audience for it. The most important thing about what we're doing is the fact that there's an audience that wants to hear this kind of discourse from a former, Ricky Aguilar, who lived a different life, Michoacán, to now being a successful businessman. He and his wife run a very successful, multi-multimillion dollar, your business for themselves.

From a former comedian, currently still a comedian, but a guy that worked on Chris Christie's camp was a former professional athlete, fighter, MLB, sitting here from Jersey, you're bringing your opinions there. Tom Xenner, who every time you talk to Tom, you learn something new about the guy. He was, therefore, the last dance that every single day, you know, married guy with two kids from California. Tom L's war to has been in the, you know, different industries with tech has had many different successes. Strong father, strong family from a, you know, devout Jewish handsome man who's a cat supporter, cat convention, you know, out here was thinking about getting married before 70 years old

who has his own strong opinions. We're working on that. You are not working on that. Man, listen, I am working on that. I would put it over under what that. I would actually put some money on the over under for age. I would put some real money. And if the wedding happens, if I lose,

I fund your entire wedding. How about that? If I will fund your entire wedding, if I get the age right. Okay. He'd get married just for free. What do you have for the party? You're 40 right now?

Yeah. You get married before 43. I pay for your wedding. I'm the type of guy that would get married just to save that money. You get married, you pay, Saf. I do your wedding. I do that at the house. I'll bring you out just to save that money. You get married. Hey, Sav. I do your wedding. I do that to the house.

I'll bring you out. I'll do anything you want for you. Now you're talking my language. Hey, Sav. Ladies are there. All ladies. That is hilarious. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Spin the wheel. Mary is the heart's version. Spin the wheel. Mary is the heart's version. I don't care. I don't care. By the way, the wheel. There is a guy who can't not care. By the way, can you imagine he actually gets married

before 43 and I'm at the wedding. I'm giving a speech. I'm like, listen, I've found that this time. I made the biggest mistake saying yes, but anyway. Where's the last thing? Here's the thing. Hey, hang on a second. If it's after 43, then what?

What do I get? Because that's what you got to say to the public as well. If it's after 43. I only like one side of this you're I know It's not how this works if it's not 43 what is I guess I got a fun my own wedding We got let's I'm a risk. I got a risk here because to me if you get I pay for Dylan's wedding when he grows up Time to work on it's gonna be pretty big. Well, he's made a lease. It's gonna get 600 thousand dollars wedding

Make it a rank. Yeah, okay. All right, so anyway. Who do you think gets married first? Gerard or me? We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan.

We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan. We're Dylan. Who do I think between you and him? I'm probably going Gerard. Yeah, it's really.

Yeah, I am. But for different reasons, I'm going with Gerard. Okay, and I don't think neither one of you guys want to get married anytime. You do want to get married. I would put your money on me over Gerard. I don't know. I don't know.

Someone's going to have to agree to marry that guy. You got to understand. I think there's a line. I think there's there's plenty of people that would. Look at me, man. No, I think so. Anyway, this guy. But in fact, that somebody agreed to marry you.

Go on back to. Going back to it. I cannot picture you you know, hey bad at all I feel like here's that case study time, baby Yeah, all right bust out that a trying of that calculator We're gonna put some degrees on this I just can't I guarantee you he's done more research on that than you have I guarantee you he has done way more research. Prodictive analytics at seven minutes and 48 seconds. I will say the bizdog has pulled it off. The bizdog babe is dope. She's great.

She's cool. You outkicked her coverage buddy. Not your spec. FYI, every night his kids call him just to talk to him before he goes to sleep no matter what part of the world is in. This guy's a winner at the highest level. Yeah, because they want to get some of that.

I'll take one of the inheritance. I'll take one of the thing about this whole thing with the podcast is you don't have to interview somebody that's like, it's just, we're coming together, it's friends that have a conversation's together. So, okay, what are you thinking about it? So, pretty excited about the next thing we're doing, some of the announcements that we'll be making here soon,

gonna be exciting, but this was a blast. Before we leave, can we give a shout out to the production team over here. Eric, David, Jorge. I don't know what they're doing there. They did a great job. Like Sam made it happen today. Six of us.

I know they put a lot of work in here. I've got a shout out today. Paul got a shout out for the fish. Tom gave you a nice little shout out about you. Yeah, a new fish out. Bring in fish. But yeah, the team. Team did a great job.

Everybody did a great job. Thank you for your help. Having said that, let's do the last raffle We got the PlayStation five year to send you and by the way people want the whole thing to be signed So we'll all sign it with a sharpie and send it out to you.

We had to kind of buy it. I don't know how we would get to have this. Well, even that double 13, you can't find it. No, no, no, no, no, we got it, but our audience is getting it.
