Luxury sales claim based on S&P Global Mobility Canadian New Vehicle Total Registrations for calendar year 2025 for the Cadillac definition of luxury.
Here I am sitting in the most expensive city in the world, according to whatever I'm going to say next.
It may not be.
Maybe Tokyo still is.
I don't know.
Maybe Palov of?
I don't know.
Maybe Paris.
I don't know.
San Francisco is up there for a second.
But New York City is up there as one of the most expensive cities in the world.
I constantly try to figure out why that is because I want to solve the problem for all of millennials
and Gen Ziers.
I want to, I want to solve the problem for you.
Okay, I am of Gen X.
I'm of the last generation to be called spoiled before we all figured it out.
We want to know why people are so angry here in my mind.
That's what we want to figure out.
Why are people so angry?
What are they so angry about?
It's a multifaceted problem.
There's many tentacles.
And if I speak enough around things, maybe it'll sound good.
So there's multifacets.
There's a lot of data that needs to be considered.
There's a lot of billionaires that need to be beheaded.
There's a lot of Republicans that need to be thrown in jail.
There's a lot of ICE members that need to be accountable.
count a ball. Those things are just out of the news. I guess I stopped. I guess I stopped.
We are so dictated by the availability bias, meaning a story comes up, we grab onto it,
there's people in it, there's characters that we can know, just like a woman trying to
understand basketball. What's he like as a person? What's his life outside of the game? You learn the
characters, you get one story, and that one story becomes a representation of an entire
group or an entire issue.
That's the way we interpret the world.
And then we move on so quickly.
I think someone tried to assassinate the president three times, but I can't remember.
I'm pretty sure somebody shot up a mosque a couple days ago, but who knows, Jeff Bezos gave
an interview today.
When there's so much information coming at you, you got a short shelf life, right?
It's like Jimmy Kimmel, probably timed that joke.
about Trump's corpse. Remember that? Right like a day after the attempted assassination. And of course,
nobody in the writer's room or Jimmy Kim himself would ever suspect that anyone would call it
bad timing and say, hey, there was an assassination attempt on his life yesterday. He would go,
oh, I was meaning about his age. It's just a joke. Don't be a snowflake. Don't you call the people
who usually get mad at this snowflakes, right?
They weren't.
They didn't have one suspicion, not even a moment where they say,
hey, this might get us some attention.
What I do know is attention, attention is what pays the bills now.
If you're being paid attention to by large amounts of people
or even a good, solid paying niche,
you are successful in this economy.
The internet in its current form,
where it has evolved to,
almost culminated to because it could be the end of it.
It's like, there's a big argument,
like how many people are actually online
and how much is it just robots?
In its current iteration, I guess you could say.
The internet's current iteration,
whatever you want to call it,
wherever it is on the timeline of birth,
you know, middle and death.
You can get a lot of money and be successful in the economy that was created by the
internet.
The internet was invented and there's a whole bunch of people now making money because
they're getting attention for whatever you're doing, the currency is attention.
Now, there's an old expression, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
So what is that referring to?
That is referring to the complainer.
The complainer gets attention, gets the attention.
It doesn't matter if you should or shouldn't complain.
It doesn't matter if your cause is right or wrong.
It doesn't matter if it's true or false.
if you are getting attention and a easy way to do that is complain, right?
It's just, you know, you can try something if it doesn't work.
I guarantee you massive complaint, massive complaining.
Like you pick an enemy and you go, they are demons.
They are the worst.
I mean, I'm talking about like your whole identity becomes like against something, right?
Whatever that is.
you will get attention.
People will tune in because the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
It's just, it's a weakness in us, you know.
It's just you, we have to turn to you because you're yelling and making noise.
And that is exploited, exploited by people all the time who want attention.
It used to be because they feel unseen.
Now it's an actual plot to be.
become rich and affluent in this economy.
So why is everyone so mad?
Because people are mad.
Everyone's eating meat.
Yes, people can't afford apartments in New York City.
Yes, it's harder to buy a hymn.
Yes, the interest rates are high.
But still, I see people in Sonic, you know, getting a double cheeseburger.
Not good for you, but very calorie dense.
probably at some point
considered only the meal for a king.
I see people eating it
with holes in their pants
and, you know,
smelling.
I see the poorest people
eating meat regularly.
So we're still not,
you know, poor.
Our poorest people aren't poor
in the way that poor countries are poor, right?
They're poor compared to
me. Right? Or someone else. Someone richer. I'm not rich, but compared to me. By the way,
can you just allow those of us who took a different route to have our victory lap? I know another
reason why you might be angry is because you went to school and you might have taken out a loan or your
parents might have paid for it. It doesn't even matter. But you're upset. You're expecting to walk out
and be Drusky.
You're expecting to walk out and, you know, get hired immediately at some advertising firm.
They're all disappearing, you know, we're all doing ads like I'll be talking and then say,
I love this true classic shirt.
And that's an ad now.
Sorry, I took your job too, actor.
I apologize.
Can we just have a moment so I could take my victory lap and just say this to everyone
of my family?
Yeah, I took a road that was untraditional and not conducive at the time.
but nanny booboo.
Nany fucking boobo.
Let me get my victory lap.
I was able to carve out a career for myself in the emerging and now present economy.
So, you know, it's not learned to code.
It's become a standup.
And everyone's, that's what everyone's doing.
70% of the comedians right now would not be comedians if we were in another era.
70% is too low.
I'm going to say 93% of the comedians who are comedians now would not be comedians in a previous era when things were a little tight, tighter.
The internet's opened it up.
And isn't that great?
There's so many people making money being comedians who otherwise would have been like, you know what?
A copywriter at an advertising firm who would have got pushed out in five years, right?
As soon as one gray hair came on the beard, you start hiding from HR, right?
Or you would have been what?
You know, trying to write a script while you did telemarketing.
Remember those?
I used to do telemarketing where I answered, you know, an ad in the paper.
I just sat there all day just trying to con old people out of their money.
So that's good, right?
It's not all bad.
Rents are high in New York.
Yeah.
Why? Is it Airbnb's fault? No, we don't know that.
Actually, we would think that Airbnb might have had an opposite effect of that.
But Airbnb's been outlawed in New York for a while and the rent's still high, right?
Is it because of just Bezos specifically in his yacht?
Was the rent lower before he had a yacht?
No, it was kind of always high in New York.
Then he bought a yacht.
They just continued to rise up.
I don't know if the yacht has anything to do with it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It seems to be he's got a yacht.
and because he's got a yacht that he paid a certain amount of money to,
that's bad when he has the money to buy that yacht.
If you have that money, what are you going to do?
You're going to buy a Subaru?
I mean, what are you going to do?
Who wouldn't buy the.
I understand the people who are mad, I can't help but notice also don't have the yacht
or they don't even have a boat usually.
If you have a boat, you're not mad about the yacht.
But if you don't have a boat or a yacht, you're mad about the boat and the yacht,
but more about the yacht, which is good for the people with the boat.
Right now you want to be a person with the boat.
Because when the guillotine's come out and nobody knows why, it's just a blood.
It's like a purge.
It's a blood lost.
Who knows?
People just, they get riled up once in a while and they just, somebody's got to pay.
So it's a good time to have a boat, but not a yacht.
Because you can, boats just, you know, they can go unseen.
The yachts kind of just block out the view of the boat, which is nice.
Bezos is just taking the bullets for all the.
people with 5 million, 10 million, 20 million, 3 million, 7 million, 12 million.
Thank God for billionaires.
Because they're taking the bullet for all those other people who I don't know where they would fall in Marx's modes of production.
Are we even still in that?
What exactly is the working class, which, you know, where does everyone fit?
if you got 275, are you a proletariat or a bourgeois?
You know, there's so much variation.
I understand back in the day, it was like, you know,
capitalist, industrialists and workers.
And it was like, you know, some upper management and everyone else was kind of like paid a lot less,
but they still were paid an amount where they could like, you know,
apparently buy houses.
They bought houses.
Things were more affordable.
Not saying, you know, you got to, obviously some capitalists will try.
try to squeeze you all the way.
But not all of them, right?
Some of it has to do with the person, not the system.
Some people are dicks, whether you're in communism or capitalism, right?
Does it just turn you into a dick?
Or is it like how you're raised or whatever, right?
Do you have like, you know?
It's this weird thing where we're talking in slogans and hasty generalizations and concepts.
But like, yeah, is there a such thing as a guy who's rich who's a good guy?
I think there's probably plenty of those.
I haven't met many of them, but, no, that's not true.
They do have a cutthroat thing about them, though, a lot of them, which isn't bad.
It's not mean.
It's just very self, very survivorish, tough.
There's good ways, there's good things about it.
So does it have to do with?
Um, everyone wants to be in New York because is there an affordability crisis in Cleveland?
I don't, I don't think there is as far as real estate, right?
But based on maybe a Cleveland salary there is, I don't know.
But with remote work, but yeah, everyone is struggling.
I get that.
I understand that and all you're hearing is the jobs are going to be gone.
But, you know, member of the panic with the internet is a big panic.
Maybe the AI will be good.
Maybe it'll be great.
Maybe it'll make us more affluent.
Maybe it'll get rid of the poverty problem.
You know, maybe it'll get to a place where if you're poor, we know it's on you.
That would be great.
That would be great to get to a place where it's just like, this is on you, dude.
You did this.
And that would be nice just to be able to go, hey, man, you know, we looked at your books.
AI looked at your books.
And, you know, your crippling drug addiction had a lot to do with your problem.
You go, well, you have to understand my child.
And you go like, we can't do that.
We can't do that.
We can't always, always find a cause to be empathetic about and keep moving the goalposts back.
At some point, we got to be able to call someone a fuck up.
At some point, you got to be able to call someone bad.
You can't have this infinite regression of empathy where it just keeps going.
He stabs his mother.
But yeah, his dad raped him.
And then you go, but what about the dad was bad?
Well, you don't understand what his grandfather.
At some point, you got to be able to stop at scumbag.
At some point, the problem is we just have gotten away from just going, that guy's scum.
Whether he's rich or he's poor, he's scum.
And you go, but you don't understand how he was made.
You're trying to understand why you spend the time trying to figure out a scumbag?
That's on him if he doesn't want to be a scumbag or not.
Why would you spend your time doing that?
I think there's a tug in humans when things get good.
I think Freudian called it the death spiral or the death wish.
It's a version of it.
But there is something in us where we just get bored when things are good, right?
When you can get a slurpy for a couple of bucks and everyone has tasted sushi and most of the people have phones and
and people have air conditioning and poorer people are on the internet and, you know, there's meat
everywhere and there's stable institutions for a little while.
And the cops are mostly doing a decent job of keeping order and there's no invading army
coming to kill you.
There's no Dev Sharma sweeps who are just randomly coming and taking whatever girls
they want.
or there's no famines or plagues that just kill you.
There's no lack of modern medicine.
There's a level of comfort that sits in
where we just get fucking bored, right?
It was called the death drive.
Humans possess an unconscious innate desire
for self-destruction, tension, reduction,
and a return to an inanimate state.
It's like when you get to, when you go to the,
you look over the edge of a balcony,
there's something in you that goes,
jump you ever feel that yet what is that that is kind of like you're safe on a balcony so if you're
on a balcony the view there's a good chance the view's great but instead of taking in the view
you go i should jump i want to jump and then you freak out you get scared of your own thought
and you go what the fuck was that right so there's got to be something you look at the tails we like
You look at the entertainment we like.
You know, Matt Damon, I hate to tell you, is not a bigger star right now.
He's not a bigger star than Jeffrey Dahmer.
You know, these are stars now.
If you look at the ratings of those shows, the fictional and the documentary,
I bet you that they rival any blockbuster.
Just eyeball for eyeball?
Eye for eye for my Muslim brothers?
I for an eye.
I bet you the numbers rival.
I mean, and he's just, you're a star, right?
True crime is, you look at what we like to watch.
You look at like we like to talk about, right?
And we're just giving into it,
which makes me think we just coming off a real high.
We're coming off a real comfortable high,
which if you look at the evidence we were, pre-COVID,
wow, things were good, too good.
They can't, we don't like it.
We don't like, there's something about peace we don't want.
Hey man, you just got to learn how to sit and meditate and appreciate it.
We know it's the right thing.
We know the Buddhist is right.
We all know Jesus was right.
We just know.
I think even though Mosley's know he's right.
Everyone knows he's right, right?
If you look at the teachings, you go, I think this guy's right.
You look at the Buddhists and you go, wow,
and it's looking, God didn't even make a peep.
he set himself on fire with gasoline.
They've tapped into something.
The guys, he's having a better time getting burned.
He's burning himself to death and he seems to be less fidgety than me.
And I'm sitting in air conditioning.
They're right.
What's up, guys?

Right? We kind of know they're right. And then there's other religion where you just look at
what's going on, you know? You're trying to hear what someone's saying, but you can't read their
lips. You can't see. I can't. What do deaf Muslims do? Do they, how do they do it? Do they pull
it down to mouth read? Or how do you read? How do you?
read, if you're deaf and you're a lip reader.
How do you, it's a questions nobody's asked, everyone's been scared to ask.
And there's a good reason, but it is a legitimate question.
Are you able to pull it down so that the deaf person could read?
Was that thought about, I'm just saying, you know, sometimes you want a religion to be sort of a living document like the Constitution, so you can make amendments.
Maybe he just, maybe he overlooked that part.
Maybe he's, you know, look, some people can communicate by lip reading.
So it might be good to be able to just,
and I'm not saying take it off.
I'm not, I'm just saying be able to pull it down to get your point across.
And then you can put it back up in between, in between words for your deaf friend
to be able to know where you're coming from.
We just kind of know it's right.
But do we want it?
Huh?
Dude, how many times are you going to watch last?
I mean, and last year I think had something.
What's a real feel good?
What's a real feel good?
How many times can you watch?
What's a real feel good movie?
How many times?
How many times before you want to watch
where you want to re-watch Buffalo Bill go,
Goodbye horses.
I'm crying over you.
Goodbye horses.
You know?
Why is true crime such a big moneymaker?
Why is that?
We like, we like, there's something about self-destruction.
There's something about going off the beam.
There's something about having a struggle to get out of that if we don't have one,
we will kind of build one because it's kind of in us or it's actually something that is just funner.
Right?
because when things are good or you've accomplished everything,
I know there's a thing where you go like,
what's my next thing?
And you go, I got to build a theme park.
Because there's a thing where you need a struggle.
You need a new horizon.
But it's not a horizon.
It's a struggle.
And you can't be motivated to do it unless there's an enemy trying to take you down.
It's got to be a fight.
There's got to be someone you hate.
I've seen this in people.
also who are extremely talented and extremely successful.
So they don't have the same grievances that people have now in this grievance culture
where there's some legitimacy to in affordability with real estate and slices being $4.
I mean, can we at least haggle about it?
I mean, there's, you know, the train is now four.
Everything is going up.
It's just the appropriate voice.
when you talk about money.
And I see it in them.
It's the same.
I need an enemy.
I need to fight.
I need to.
I don't like the plow.
I prefer the sword because it's just funner.
So are we at,
are we at a point where we just were meditating
for 20, 25 years,
having a blast or serving Dionyses
and meditating and all things good
and felt like we were going to live forever
and forgot about death or whatever.
and it just got boring.
We just forgot.
We just forgot, you know, what gives us meaning and what really makes us happy.
And that's a little fighting.
That's a little, that's a little, I am so for this cause.
I am so for this cause.
The amount of people that truly, truly care, you know,
that really believe that they have some sort of magic solution.
Like you haven't been looking at history for thousands of years and known that every solution creates other problems because Utopia doesn't exist.
And attaching the billionaires another $100 billion might help this, but it'll create other problems.
Then they'll be that, that, okay, we take away the 3% at the bottom who pay, what is it?
They pay just 3% of the total tax pot are the bottom.
many percent.
If you take away their taxes and so they don't pay any percent,
that's going to create a whole other problem where now those people are not invested
at anything and just receiving them and that's going to cause resentment from the middle
going, I'm paying for you and you get a fucking freeloader.
There's no solutions, baby.
I mean, give the guy credit, first of all, for being a black conservative.
And he maybe is the Michael Jordan of that.
But I'm not saying being conservatives right because it's not all the time,
but I'm saying he said some smart stuff.
Thomas Sowell said, there are no solutions, there's only tradeoffs.
And the older I've gotten, the more data I have for that, there's tradeoffs.
It may be a solution in context, but there's always something you're giving up.
There's always a receipt.
We've kind of become disconnected to that because I think we had it so good and we have the potential to have it so good now.
So there's part of me that thinks we're just throwing off.
ourselves back into disarray in order just to have something to do bro there's not much to do
especially now that nobody's even joining book clubs or softball rec games you're sitting on their
computers and their phones so is there something yeah that just calls us for fun just for fun
Let's fuck shit up for fun.
Let's fuck.
Let's fucking find someone to fucking hang.
Right?
And then you start seeing people, rich people, by the way, right?
It's like, let's be honest.
If I went to a lower income neighborhood in New York right now and said, hey, y'all, y'all feeling Hassan Piker, how many people do you think know who Hassan Piker is?
Right.
How many urban low-income people do you think actually know who he is?
How many rural low-income people do you think know who he is?
Now, how many young, college-educated progeny of professional families with perhaps a suburban upbringing
or a middle class to well-off upbringing in a city know who he is.
You know what I'm saying here.
Right?
You know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying here.
Right?
Right.
So it's like we want to have fun.
People want to feel alive.
Right?
We want to get someone.
I want to get someone.
Jeff Bezos.
greedy bastard all the time that needs to go.
He's got his workers in diapers.
He's a fucking tyrant.
He's evil.
Elon Musk, I don't care what he's done for the environment.
Get him.
Get him.
Zuckerberg, you know?
He's been caught with his hands in the cookie jar a few times.
But he's the least of, this is going up on partly his platform.
So he probably has some AI.
sensors that go if I see my name lower the views but so we won't make a clip but we'll just go on
google we probably would love to hear bad talk he just seems like the less important of them he seems
the less contributing you know like amazon like fuck yeah i mean come on dude you think asan piker goes to
the local you think he's going to the local hardware store you think he's going down a local hardware store
You think he's going to a local hardware store to get that one bulb he needed?
You go to the store, you're like, they don't have it, I got to find another.
Or do you think, blop button, and then it's there tomorrow morning for free.
Amazon has definitely made our lives easier.
I don't know if that's a good thing.
But again, trade off, right?
One thing's good.
It's bad.
It was nice to go in the community and do all those things.
But I mean, what has what has Zuckerberg really done?
Elon Musk created cars that don't use fossil fuels, right?
And he made it viable for the market and made a dent in the carbon releases, whatever.
But Amazon employs 2 million people and also 1.55 million globally.
So there's also that.
So my point is that we've come up with grievance.
Grievance is hot.
It's a cultural, it's a thing.
When you meet someone, you've got to be pissed about something, man.
You got to have, you've got to be able to say this is the reason things are bad.
Right, you got to have a solution, boom, that you got to be pissed.
You got to be pissed.
You got to have an enemy, right?
So that is just, that is like, that is the wearing jabos of the 90s.
It's just in style.
It's just the being a wigger in 1993 is now just like just being a commie, right?
Just complaining about the system and tearing it all.
down and billionaires.
So it's definitely in style because when you talk to these people and I have a few of them,
I have.
I am so stupid when it comes to money, but, you know, I'm a little older so it's not fair.
But also, they're the one saying what they're saying.
They don't understand a fucking thing.
They don't, they don't know anything.
They don't know how progressive our tax system is.
And they don't know that the richest 10% pay 72% of the top 1% pay 40 already.
They don't know.
And then they'll go back and they'll Google hard and they'll go, well, they used to pay 90% or 70%.
It's like, yeah, we were trying to fund a war.
But also when you look at all the deductions and loopholes and things that people did back then,
the effective tax rate was only just a little more than.
What they actually paid was only a couple percent higher.
So it was 90 on paper, but it was really.
you know,
42 as opposed to 36
or 45 as opposed to 42.
They pay a lot of taxes.
I just think that there's that.
I just think people don't fully understand, you know?
They don't know, they're not,
they don't get it.
They don't understand it.
There's people who know how businesses work
and there's people who don't.
And the people who know what business's work,
there's a lot less of them.
And they always tend to vote right for whatever reason.
And the people who don't understand business
tend to vote left for some reason.
It's just a pattern I've noticed, right?
I don't know business.
I tend to not vote.
It's just a trend.
I mean, it's just a simple trend.
It's just a colloquial world, you know,
just an observation in the colloquial.
We're just colloquializing here.
It's just colloquial.
It's just something that I've tended to see.
Right?
And the people who don't know seem to be a lot angrier at the people who do know.
And they also don't want to learn it.
They want to just get mad at those people.
And I'm just saying what I've noticed.
I have talked to more than a few,
and they just don't know what the fuck they're talking about,
which doesn't mean they're wrong,
because I don't know if they're wrong.
But it does mean they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
And it's pretty clear and easy to see that.
So I don't know.
I can come up with that.
I can come up with actually, yeah, it is,
things are expensive now, right?
Is it as bad as the media and everyone's making the fervor,
the emotional fervor is,
and this populist revolutionary push to take the heads off of billionaires?
I don't know.
Doesn't seem that way when I walk around.
It doesn't seem any different, right?
I don't see people like,
with like fucking lepersoors on their legs.
And then some guy in a top hat walking out
and like spitting on the people on the street.
don't see that type of, you know, inequality.
They're spoiled inequality, yeah.
Meaning we all grew up with some certain expectations.
And we're like, fuck, you know?
It's like, at some point, you have to be able to say this person wasn't talented
enough or this person didn't work hard enough or this person is a scumbag.
You have to be able to say that.
and if you can't say that, and you have to have evidence.
You got to be able to say that, right?
And you got to not only be able to say that about rich people,
but you have to be able to say it about an individual who may not be rich as well.
Right now we're living at a time where you can only say it to someone who's doing better than you.
And that just is not fair.
That's not fair, right?
Just not fair because there's some real losers who are fucking,
just as much assholes as the real winners.
But you can't say that because it's punching down.
So as long as you can get yourself into the group where those blows aren't supposed to land,
you have free land.
You have free reign to cook up your hate and fucking launch it at somebody who may be an asshole
who's big and you're protected.
So I think.
think that may have and be a big part of why everyone's so mad, which is the original
question we're trying to ask. I think it pays to be mad. I think you get seen by being
mad and there's a possibility to get paid by being mad. I think there's camaraderie in being
mad right now. And I think there's a real pull to function.
shit out for fun. And then thirdly, I think it's real. I think that's the third most important thing.
I think everyone's got a phone and everyone's ordering on Amazon. I think everyone's having pizza.
I really think most people are housed. I think most people are working. I think things are a little
more expensive. But how much shit are we, you know, like what? A fifth pair of Nike? Everyone's got a
Nike's, everyone, like are we, but what are we talking about? Is it Bangladesh? I mean,
what are we talking about, right? I travel the country. So, um, some people are poor. Yeah,
but like, they're like 600 pounds and like waddling into, you know, an Arby's. So it's like,
everyone's eating. And also we're going through a transition and also, you know, um, inflation and
things like that and government, I get it.
Yes, this is a deficit and just inflation and things like that.
All that is true.
But that's not, if you were paying attention,
that's not the question we were trying to answer.
Things are fucked up,
but we're trying to figure out why people are so mad,
like so fucking mad.
Like I don't even think, dude, they're so mad.
Nobody's even, nobody even cares about UFOs.
Right now people care about getting Tony Hinchcliff and Shane Gillis
or Chelsea Hancock.
Handler is a C word.
It's like people are so mad at these people.
Like these people they don't know that can't help them, can't hurt them,
have nothing to do with their personal lives.
They're completely devoted to the hate of.
They care so much about these roast jokes or they care so much, right,
about some issue that's out there about economic, whatever.
They care so much that it's a little concerning.
And people are a little attached to things that really, you know, are here today, gone tomorrow.
Like we all are.
