Diddy ARRESTED & ShxtsnGigs Apology Reaction

Sometimes, the wildest weekends lead to the best stories, but don't forget to appreciate the everyday hustle that keeps life balanced.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant! We have a lot to discuss today. First off, Trump got shot at again. Sorry to be right about that happening, but it seems like Trump might need to get shot at again; that might be the only thing that could save him. I want to clarify that I don’t want that to happen.

In other news, Diddy got arrested with 1,000 bottles of baby oil. That's probably nothing, just shits and gigs. Meanwhile, the UFC had an absolutely amazing weekend, and my favorite topic—the best Indian mud diving you've ever seen in your entire life—is on the table.

So, Diddy had a crazy amount of baby oil—literal baby oil, maybe even made from real babies. Extra virgin baby oil, perhaps? That is certainly a way to start the conversation. I don't want to think about how that’s made. I mean, how do you make olive oil? But still, it’s not made with babies.

I was thinking of making a joke, but I took it too far. I think you need to issue an apology, dude. Sometimes, I cross the line, and I have to protect my community. I apologize to all the babies that are listening. Seriously, what are they going through right now? They’re probably tired, napping, and... well, babies don’t do much else!

Speaking of babies, once your wife has a child, she might think she has a monopoly on exhaustion. Trust me, we all get tired. I’ve been partying in Vegas for three days straight. Of course, I’m tired! But she has no empathy for me. I went out until 5 AM for three nights in a row in Las Vegas, and I’m having the absolute time of my life. I come back exhausted, and she doesn’t want to hear it. Sure, she’s been breastfeeding every two hours for the last seven months, but I’m also tired!

On a lighter note, Shaquille O'Neal was hanging out with me, playing DJ songs. I almost said something inappropriate, but I caught myself—thankfully, it wasn’t racist! Mark, on the other hand, has tons of energy because he wasn’t in Vegas this weekend. He picked a hell of a weekend not to come on tour, bro!

I missed all the fun, and I want to talk about how amazing it was. I almost said it was the best weekend of my life, but I didn’t say that because my wife is already tired, and I’m tired too. Both she and your wife are very mad at you right now! Listen, y’all have to deal with that; I need eight hours of sleep to function.

By the way, I had a higher purpose this weekend. I couldn’t make it to Vegas for a valid reason. I was busy doing spots in the city; I had a 20-minute set and four check spots in New York. I was busy!

So, in the group chat, I said, "Hey, I'm going to miss you guys so much; have a great time!" Then, within three seconds, I got removed from the group chat. I didn’t want to hear Mark crying the whole weekend he wasn’t there. Little gifts and everything! Mark was removed from the group chat, and I was like, "Damn!" To be fair, he was removed by Tanya.

But then we brought him back. Listen, Mark, you missed a great weekend! I wanted to come on here and downplay it, to share some self-deprecating things that happened so you could like me more, but there was none of that. It was amazing! I’m not trying to manipulate you into liking me; this was an unbelievable, unfathomable weekend.

Think about it— I saw Shiny smiling, and I thought he was on drugs at one point. There was one time during the whole weekend where he went like this, and then he even said words—no way, it was in English!

=> 00:04:33

Authenticity wins; don't downplay your amazing experiences just to seem relatable.

Okay, so we brought him back. But listen, Brown, you missed a great week! I want to come out here and share my experience. This is what I want to do. No, no, no, let me just say this: I wanted to come on here and downplay it, to share all the self-deprecating things that happened this weekend so I could be more likable. But there was none of that; it was amazing! I'm not trying to manipulate you into liking me; this was an unbelievable, unfathomable weekend.

Think about it: I saw Shiny smiling, and I thought he was on drugs! There was one moment during the whole weekend where he went like this, and then he even said words—English words! He was just mean brain R, saying "Ohio." He still has smile lines from that, so that's crazy.

Now, I was with Jamal Hibert, my best friend from high school, and Dove Mammon, my best friend from college. We were in Vegas, and if you had asked us when we were in high school or college if this weekend would happen, I would have said absolutely. But the fact that it actually did happen is unbelievable! I mean, partying with Shaq and 50 Cent, going front row to the craziest combat spectacle in history—I don't care if the last two fights sucked; it was an experience. Everybody's trying to find a way to cut this event down, but it was by far incredible. Your brain exploded when you walked into the room!

Honestly, this is a little crazy, but that Friday night after the show in Vegas was the first night in a long time that I had nothing to do the next day. Oh, that's a Big W! It hit me when I got off stage: I was free the whole summer, and I had a great summer, don't get me wrong. But you're still thinking about making sure the baby eats and sleeps, managing nap schedules, and all those different things. This was the first time since even before my wife was pregnant that I was not in the same city as them, and we had no show the next day—nothing to do but just do Adderall and drink alcohol.

The shows were probably bad, right? Well, shout out to San Antonio; honestly, the two shows were pretty good. Derek, you did an amazing job! I can tell you something: I've gone to two-person shows now, and it's way better for the audience. I used to think, "Oh, the audience expects a three-person show," but my friend, who also went to two-person shows, said, "They don't give a [__]. They like a person they don't even know."

Next week, let's go! It's way cheaper! We're going to the cube; the rhombus is having a two-dimensional [__]. The circle, y'all going—that's what the trap means, bro! It's the trapezoid; that's a fact!

You guys missed me, right? You definitely missed me. I didn't even think about it; that's not true. I don't even think my name came up once while you guys were talking about me. Honestly, dude, I literally forgot you ever came on tour! It was crazy; Dove was in full effect—this is his scene! Watching him in Vegas was like watching a fly around a ship; he is just so buzzing and excited.

Oh God, is he happier here or in the Hamptons? I feel like these are the two extremes. In Vegas, you have to put him in like two or three-day things where everybody's on 10. Burning Man? He would love a cruise! You're like a cruise guy; you love being anywhere. I mean, we were right here, bringing down the energy. He's a carnival guy, and he had such a great time!

We had a phenomenal weekend. I want to come here and say, "Oh, it was really shitty," but it wasn't. I don't want to use that as a manipulation tactic. It's like I'm going to tell you how horrible the weekend really was so everybody feels good about the fact that I’m an authentic person. Authenticity wins! I'm sitting here this weekend, thinking, "I cannot [__] believe these other experiences.

=> 00:08:37

Authenticity wins; embrace the incredible moments and share the joy without holding back.

Excited! Oh God, is he more happy here or in the Hamptons? I feel like these are the no-Vegas moments. You have to put him in like two or three-day things where everybody's on 10. Burning Man? Ste would love a cruise! You're like a cruise guy; you love being BR anywhere. I mean, like we were right here, BRS it down's energy. He's a carnival guy. Oh, he had such a great time! He had such a [__] great time.

Yeah, we had a phenomenal weekend. I want to come here and say, "Oh, it's really shitty," but it wasn't. I want to emphasize that it's like a manipulation tactic. It's like, "I'm going to tell you how horrible the weekend really was so everybody feels good about the fact." Authenticity wins! I'm sitting here this weekend going, "I cannot [__] believe these other people get to experience this with me."

Hey, hey, be honest, dog! Our fans can take it; they don't need to be protected. No, no, I felt like I was the luckiest human being on the planet. It was so cool! Like you said, if someone came up to you in high school and said, "This weekend is going to happen," you'd be losing your mind. I couldn't imagine someone saying that. I kept going to them, "Can you guys believe this is happening? How actually is the sphere?"

The sphere was crazy! This is the best way I can describe how amazing it was: I was watching the real fighter, so like, we were right there. Okay, shout out to the UFC! Shout out to D! Your seats were crazy; they were the best seats in the house. Literally, the only better seats were the ones that were on the Octagon, like how Rogan and them sit on the Octagon.

Do you know who sat directly in front of us? Jeff Bezos and his wife! To the left of me were Jon Jones and Chandler Jones—those are his brothers, the football players. Yeah, I didn't know that was his brother! And Arthur Jones played for the Baltimore Ravens—Super Bowl ring and everything. I mean, it was just like, that's so SL!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Surfer—the goat of all goat surfers! I couldn't believe it; it was one of the few times I've seen you really be star-struck by someone, not being yourself around them. Completely star-struck, like asking for a picture. I mean, it was just so wild! Alex Pereira is another one down; that picture was nuts! It's you, J Jones, Chris Brown, and another one down in the comments—the greatest fighters in history.

So if you want to come hang, Soul Joes Ptown PA, come see him! [__] Yeah, you know what you need to do every time—love!

=> 00:12:32

The future of live entertainment is about to get a major upgrade, just like when sound transformed film.

Hello everybody! It's your dear friend Mark Gagnon coming to you from Schultz's chair. I'm going on the road! Oh yeah, baby! I'm doing a couple of one-nighters coming up in November. On November 13th, I'll be in Stamford, Connecticut, at the New York Comedy Club, one of the best clubs in the city. They got us booked in Stamford, so come hang out with me! I’m excited to kick it with everyone.

After that, I’ll be at Soul Joes in Pottstown, PA, which is just an hour from Philly. Just come out, hang with me, and I’ll be taking pictures with everyone. We’ll be talking after the show, chopping it up about probably conspiracy theories and current events. So if you want to come hang, mark your calendars for Soul Joes, Ptown PA!

Now, let's get back to the show. I want to break down how dope the UFC experience was. We had the most amazing seats! There were six of us, and we roll pretty deep. You know the saying: "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with people." We always roll deep, and I knew this was a big event, so I wasn't worried. Their seats were, I think, the second best seats in the whole arena because they sat front row at the first elevation of seating.

This meant they weren’t looking at the back of anyone's head. Even if you were on the floor behind us, you were looking at me standing up like an excited giant the whole time! We had six six-foot dudes just in the front row, so you couldn't see anything else. The venue took great care of us, and it was awesome.

What’s crazy about the room is that I heard people in the 200 and 300 sections loved their seats too because that’s where you actually got the best experience. There were no bad seats! I was looking at the actual fighters fighting, and my brain couldn't distinguish that from a video game. It felt like there was something in my head that assumed the Octagon and the fighters were some form of animation.

It was an interesting point about Adderall—maybe that contributed to my perception! But it was cool to see the videos because you could hear the crowd reacting to the graphics. They played these little vignettes between the fights, and they were just mind-blowing. I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface of what the sphere will do for live entertainment.

I was thinking about it all weekend. It’s like when they added sound to film; I believe it will be that transformative. I think every major city will have a sphere, maybe not a 20,000-seat one in smaller cities, but every city will have one where these specific types of events will take place.

However, I wonder if you can build a football stadium as a sphere. I was thinking about that too! You might need 100,000 seats or whatever, so I’m not sure if that’s feasible. The tricky thing about the sphere right now is that it’s so cost prohibitive. In order to film something for the sphere, you have to do it in 14k, and it takes two whole days to upload the stuff.

Additionally, you have to wrap it around and distort it, which is quite the process. Hopefully, AI will be able to help with a lot of the creation because right now, the only bands that can perform there are groups that can stay for like a month. How many of those are there? I bet the UFC made a lot of money on the event, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost money on the actual production costs.

I was curious if they actually made money or not. Shout out to Dana White! Aside from him taking care of us, I remember thinking how cool it was to take on such an ambitious undertaking for a live event. I can’t imagine any other sports commissioner being like, "Yo, let’s take this on one time just to make an event out of it."

=> 00:16:15

The future of live events is all about the spectacle—if the fights are boring, the visuals better be unforgettable.

I like to think that hopefully AI will be able to do a lot of the creation of this. Right now, the only bands that can be involved in such events are groups that can stay there for like a month. However, how many of those are there? I bet you the UFC, actually, I don't know, because they probably just made so much money on the event. But I wouldn't be surprised if they lost money on the actual event just because they had to pay for the production of it. I was wondering if they actually make money or not.

Shouts to Dana for taking care of the fighters. I remember thinking, this is so cool to take this on; what an ambitious undertaking for a live event! I can't imagine any other sports commissioner being like, "Yo, let's take this on one time just to make an event out of it." They were bummed about the last two fights being boring, and I get it. You put everything on it, and it's like the entire world is watching. Then, the last two fights were like stinkers. Yes, they won, and yes, they were more effective, but that style of fighting just isn't the most engaging.

Visually, it's not pleasing. The best thing for the UFC is when strikers are the best fighters; that’s what makes it the most engaging. You can track any rise in popularity of the UFC over the years and guarantee it coincides with the presence of one of the best fighters or strikers. Think about Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell the Iceman, and obviously Jon Jones, who has a pedigree with wrestling but also knocks people out. Conor McGregor and Israel Adesanya are other examples. You can track it, and it works because a knockout is exciting. We talk about it, we replay it, but we can't replay one minute of being on the ground with someone laying on top of another fighter; it’s just not a highlight.

After the event, the conversation in Vegas was just about the spectacle. I’m sure you all saw this, but they were showing the fights outside the Sphere. Just imagine being in Vegas, walking by the Strip, and seeing that event outside; it was just nuts! It looked amazing on a phone. I thought it was just going to look great in the room if you were there, but I saw everyone filming and thought, "Holy [__], it looks like you're there when you're watching that."

So, how was it? Did any of you guys watch it at home? The fight card was boring, but you could tell whoever was there was getting a different experience. The last two fights were boring, but that’s really all I got to see. My shows ended at like midnight, and I missed the last two fights. However, I heard that it might be one of the greatest rounds of fighting I've ever seen in my entire life. Diego Lopez and the Ortega fight was insane! The earlier fights were really amazing, and between the fights, they showed wide angles and little movies in between, which looked phenomenal. So, the experience at home was still satisfying; it looked amazing on TV.

Now, did it make you want to see an event at the Sphere? Absolutely! The big announcement is that they’re going to adapt The Wizard of Oz. I heard about that, and reportedly, they spent $8 million on it. Over New Year’s Eve, their big EDM play is this DJ Anima, who has six or seven dates around that time. They keep adding more dates. After being there, I want to see a DJ; I think that’s going to be incredible.

I haven't seen the bands, but I don't know how a band could actually do it. If you really want the music to be choreographed with the animation, you can't let them play live. Why is that? Well, because if the songs switch with the animation and you riff it all, you take a moment, stop, talk to the crowd, or tell them a story, and if that’s not baked into the animation or they don't have the ability to stop with you, now you're off.

I think a lot of those big DJs have everything pre-taped, and they're just making it work. A DJ can just press play and pretend to twist knobs. But if you're a band and the lead singer wants to say a few words—which is what makes the show fun—then it complicates things. So, I think it’s one of those situations where it’s best to just see a DJ do their thing.

=> 00:20:20

The future of live performances is all about syncing immersive visuals with music, creating an unforgettable experience that goes beyond just the sound.

The discussion revolves around the challenges of synchronizing live music performances with animation, particularly in the context of a band versus a DJ. "If you really want the music to be choreographed with the animation, you can't let them play live." The reason for this is that if the songs switch with the animation and the band takes a moment to interact with the crowd, it can disrupt the flow. "If that's not also baked in to the animation or they don't have the ability to stop with you, now you're off."

In contrast, DJs often rely on pre-taped music, which allows them to create an immersive environment without the same constraints. "I think a lot of those big DJs, it's all pre-taped and they're just making it." This method works well for DJs because they can simply press play and pretend to manipulate the equipment. However, for a band, the lead singer's desire to engage with the audience is what makes the show enjoyable.

The conversation then shifts to the potential of using the Sphere for immersive experiences. "Let's just see a DJ do it and then just create that immersive environment." The idea is that while enjoying the visuals, the audience could also be in an altered state of mind, enhancing the overall experience. The mention of attending a Fish concert highlights this notion, as it is known to be a popular venue for those looking to enjoy psychedelic experiences.

"When I did Rogan, he and I talked about going to see Fish." The Sphere's potential for hosting bands like Coldplay is also acknowledged, given their history of spectacular stadium shows. The suggestion is made to have bands perform as if they were live, but without being plugged in, essentially creating a background track similar to what is done with pop artists.

The discussion raises questions about the costs involved in such performances. "Does some of the cost like get offset since you don't have to pay for the screens and all that stuff to be built there?" While there might be some savings, the cost of producing high-quality content remains significant. "You want that video that's playing in the background that's like synced to the music to just be mind-bending."

The Sphere is described as an incredible venue, with a desire for more events to take place there. "I wish the UFC like owned a piece of the Sphere." The idea of hosting events like the Fourth of July or Mexican Independence Day at the Sphere is proposed, showcasing the excitement surrounding the venue.

As for basketball, there is uncertainty about how it could be integrated into the Sphere. "I don't even know how you do basketball." The conversation reflects on the novelty of the technology and how it is still in its early stages. "I think the tech is so new we can't even conceptualize how to do it."

The discussion concludes with a nostalgic vision of the Sphere hosting classic concerts. "I would just go see an old concert." The suggestion to play iconic performances, such as Michael Jackson in Berlin or Pink Floyd's "The Wall," highlights the potential of using AI to enhance these experiences. "The tricky thing is the quality of you need needs to be so high to wrap it." The hope is that upcoming projects, like the Wizard of Oz, can leverage this technology effectively, creating a unique and immersive experience for audiences.

=> 00:23:58

The future of concerts is all about immersive experiences that blend nostalgia with cutting-edge technology.

In the discussion about the '90s music scene, there is a nostalgic sentiment that suggests it was a time when every great concert could be experienced in a unique way. The idea is presented that Pink Floyd could perform "The Wall" in a venue like the Sphere, which sparks thoughts about the potential of AI technology to enhance such experiences. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that the quality of the output is exceptionally high. There is hope that projects like the Wizard of Oz can be mapped to modern technology, especially since they have access to the original film negatives, which, while not in 14K, are typically in 4 or 5K resolution.

The conversation shifts to a more psychedelic theme, referencing the Grateful Dead and the Wizard of Oz as cultural touchstones that resonate with the drug element of the era. This leads to a discussion about an event where many, including Sugar Sean, had placed bets. Unfortunately, he lost his parlay, which adds to the disappointment of the situation. Acknowledging his achievements, the speaker expresses that Sugar Sean deserves some time off, emphasizing that he has already achieved his dream and doesn't need to fight again unless he chooses to.

The speaker also highlights the role of Stake, a betting platform, in exacerbating the feelings of loss after an event. They suggest that losing can motivate athletes to come back stronger, with Sugar Sean potentially returning to fight again with a renewed focus. The segment is sponsored by Stake, which is described as a leader in global betting and US social casinos, inviting listeners to use the promo code "flagrant" for a welcome bonus.

The conversation then transitions to the topic of DJs capable of filling large venues, mentioning names like Tiesto and Black Coffee. The speaker notes that Anima and Tale of Us have been doing impressive visual work, with one member of Tale of Us, Guy Anima, going solo. The dialogue touches on the Weekend's show in São Paulo and the excitement surrounding large acts like Travis Scott and The Weekend performing in the Sphere.

There is speculation about the potential for these artists to sell out multiple shows due to the novelty of the venue, with the idea that their draw could mean they perform more shows than usual. The excitement is palpable as the speaker expresses a desire to experience another event there, describing it as "pretty cool."

The conversation takes a sudden turn to a more serious topic involving Trump, where a humorous exchange suggests that the speaker had a hand in a plot to shoot the president. They acknowledge the absurdity of the situation, clarifying that there was no actual threat—just a kooky individual with a fixation. The speaker concludes by referring to the individual as a "warrior," likening him to a Ukrainian soldier, which adds a layer of complexity to the lighthearted banter.

=> 00:27:42

In a world of chaos, the truth often gets lost in the noise, but the real battle is between open minds and closed ones.

In a recent discussion, the topic of a potential assassination plot against a political figure arose. One participant expressed their frustration, stating, "I'm trying to help this man win an election," while others seemed less concerned about the implications of the situation. The conversation shifted focus, with one individual admitting, "I actually stole your bit to be honest with you," referencing a previous discussion about the need for heightened security.

The conversation took a turn towards the individual involved in the plot, described as a "Ukrainian Soldier" and a "warrior." However, there were doubts about his credibility, as it was noted that he had a "ton of crazy like criminal history" and had been living in Hawaii, seemingly detached from the conflict he claimed to be a part of. The group speculated about the nature of his actions, suggesting that "when there's one assassination attempt, I think there's copycats."

Concerns about security were raised, particularly regarding the logistics of securing a golf course where the incident occurred. One participant remarked, "they got to do better, hire extra security for both candidates," emphasizing the need for protection. The discussion also touched on the implications of a potential assassination, with one person stating, "this whole thing is going to be a big nightmare."

The conversation then veered into conspiracy theories surrounding the individual involved, including claims about his connections to "Black Rock." There was skepticism about these theories, with one participant asserting, "I haven't seen any connection that they funded this." They acknowledged that while Black Rock could benefit from a stable Ukraine, there was no evidence to suggest their involvement in the plot.

As the discussion continued, it became clear that the internet's tendency to radicalize opinions was influencing perceptions of the situation. One participant noted, "it's very easy to believe not true [__]." They reflected on the backlash received from previous comments, highlighting how people reacted when their opinions were challenged, stating, "the how soft people are." Ultimately, the conversation underscored the polarized nature of political discourse, with both sides being described as "snowflakes."

=> 00:31:22

People crave validation over truth; they want their beliefs stroked, not challenged.

Based on true events, it's very easy to believe in what is not true. For instance, I mean, it was so funny just to even see the reaction to last week's rant when we did the rant that was very fair about how the debate went. To see all these crybabies in the comments saying things like, "No, Schultz, you're a paid shill; the Democrats are paying for you. You used to be funny, but now you're not," was quite amusing. It's like, oh, I used to be funny when you agreed with my opinions, and now that you don't, it's not funny anymore.

This leads to the observation that both sides are incredibly soft. They are both snowflakes—unbelievable snowflakes. But how much do they pay? I got $1,200 in donations for that rant, and that was worth it, 100%. It just sucks because all these people talk about how they want honest and true media, but it's like, no, you don't. None of you want it; you want to be told whatever you feel is right. You want to be patted on your back and put to sleep. That's all you want—you want to be pacified.

Honestly, it's a little demoralizing. It sucks when you're trying to be fair and down the middle, and then you get scrutinized for it. This is why no one is fair; there’s no money in fairness. As the old quote goes, the only thing in the middle of the road is roadkill. Of course, CNN is going to lean left because there are a bunch of people who need their feelings nurtured. Likewise, Fox is going to lean right for the same reason. There isn’t anything in the middle because there aren't enough people in the middle who need to be nurtured.

I was actually thinking about "Breaking Points" and how they have a subscriber model where you pay us monthly. If I were them, I wouldn't even have a comment section; I wouldn't have anything. That way, I wouldn't have to appease sponsors or sell commercials. You all pay for us, and we give you the news as we see fit. I wouldn't even want to see your comments or what you think. We're going to keep giving you the news; pay for it if you want actual independent news.

However, what happens when the subscribers go down? It's time to switch things up. I guess that’s a risk as well, but if you get subscribers based on being moderate, that's what's going to keep everybody moderate until it comes to something you’re passionate about. It's kind of like listening to your girlfriend complain; you try to be nuanced when she's venting about something. You're like, "Well, you know, I can see both sides," and she responds, "I don't want that."

In this context, you have to grift with your girl big time. You might say, "Why would they do that to you? That's so messed up," and then they agree. But it is a tricky situation. I figured out how to bring people to the center. I texted Mark this dumb idea recently, but it's actually a good one.

Historically, if you lost or were second place in the presidential race, you then became the first person's vice president. I think we should go back to that because then both sides have to put up people who are going to somewhat agree with each other and could win the most votes. This way, you sort of have two people who are somewhat similar.

But why did they stop that? I imagine nothing gets done, or you might think, "This guy's just going to try to get me assassinated." Now that person is the Vice President, and that whole party has a vested interest in killing me. Shout out to LBJ! I don't know why they stopped it, but in my mind, I was like, "Count me in."

For instance, who did Hamilton help get elected? It was Aaron Burr versus another dude—Jefferson. I think Jefferson decided not to have Burr as his vice president, but I'm not exactly sure. I would fact-check that. Still, that seems way better, but people are going to be radicalized, and now with the Internet, it's just so easy to do it. Now both sides are saying, "If this person wins, then...

In a world where political stakes are high, the narrative of victimhood can become a powerful tool for survival.

The conversation begins with a mention of someone being assassinated, which leads to a discussion about the implications for political figures. The speaker reflects, "that whole party now has a vested interest in killing me," and gives a shout-out to LBJ. They express uncertainty about why certain events were halted, recalling a historical context involving Hamilton and the election of Jefferson against Aaron Burr. They speculate that Jefferson might have decided not to have Burr as his vice president, suggesting that this could have been a pivotal moment in political history.

The speaker notes the current political climate, stating, "people are going to be radicalized," and emphasizes how the Internet has made it easier for this to happen. They mention that both sides of the political spectrum are claiming, "if this person wins, the country is at stake," highlighting the crisis atmosphere surrounding democracy. They reference Trump, who allegedly compiled a list of individuals who labeled him a threat to democracy, stating, "he put on like true social" a detailed account of their criticisms. The speaker humorously adds that they did not make the list, despite their own comments.

The conversation shifts to a peculiar incident involving Taylor Swift, which the speaker finds amusing. They discuss the timing of an assassination attempt that occurred on a Sunday, while Trump was in Vegas. The speaker speculates about Trump's decision to leave early, noting that he received "a lot of love in that room" during an event. They also touch on the mixed sentiments among Mexicans regarding Trump, especially given his comments about immigrants, which could lead to a dicey situation for him at a UFC event.

The speaker reflects on Trump's public relations strategy, suggesting that claiming to be a victim again could be beneficial for him. They speculate about the possibility of Trump's supporters encouraging him to take action against perceived threats, with a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to tip off the Secret Service. They express concern that Trump currently lacks energy and mention a new crypto venture he has launched, questioning the wisdom of his advisors.

The conversation continues with a critique of Trump's financial moves, labeling them as broke boy behavior for a billionaire. They humorously propose that Trump should do an ad read during a debate, referencing BetterHelp.com to address the trauma of being shot at. The speaker concludes by noting that Trump has announced he will not participate in any more debates, claiming victory, while acknowledging that if his opponent can provoke him again, it could lead to interesting dynamics in future interactions.

=> 00:38:39

In the political arena, sometimes the best strategy is to keep your opponent off balance and rely on humor to win the crowd.

The conversation begins with a light-hearted discussion about money and the idea of short money. One participant expresses a desire for Trump to do an ad read during a debate, suggesting it would be entertaining, perhaps referencing a service like betterhelp.com. They humorously reflect on the trauma of getting shot at and needing someone to talk to, which leads to a comment about the current state of debates, noting that Trump is scared and has announced on Truth Social that he won't participate because he believes he has already won.

The discussion shifts to the implications of this decision. One speaker speculates that Trump thinks he has "won best case", allowing him to avoid further debates. They ponder whether this strategy could backfire, especially if his opponent can provoke him again. They recall how easily she got under his skin in the past, suggesting that his handlers might not trust him to remain composed in a debate setting.

The conversation then turns to the opponent's background, noting that she has a limited political track record, similar to Obama, who also had a relatively short political history before running for president. This lack of extensive political baggage could be advantageous for her, as she hasn't made many mistakes that could be used against her, unlike seasoned politicians such as Elizabeth Warren or Nancy Pelosi.

As they analyze Trump's potential strategies, they agree that he could hold her accountable for her actions over the past few years. However, there is a consensus that he might struggle to handle the pressure if she provokes him again. The discussion highlights how she has the ability to trigger him easily, suggesting that she has found the "code" to get under his skin.

The conversation then shifts to Trump's personality, with one participant noting that he is an incredibly funny guy. They recount a viral moment where Trump was filmed at the 9/11 Memorial, showcasing his quirky sense of humor. The group agrees that if Trump can deliver several humorous moments in quick succession, it could overshadow any debate missteps.

However, they caution that keeping him isolated from the public might not be the best strategy. Instead, they suggest he needs to engage in interviews where he can respond to challenges with "banger lines". They reminisce about the need for moments that remind the public of his charisma and humor, likening it to past interactions with figures like Rosie O'Donnell.

Finally, one participant proposes a radical idea for elections, suggesting that the U.S. should adopt a system similar to England's, where the two best candidates face off in a direct contest. This thought-provoking suggestion concludes the lively discussion, leaving the group to contemplate the future of political debates and elections.

=> 00:42:24

Conflict fuels the best moments; we thrive on the tension that reveals true character.

He just, you know, says whatever that he's talking about, and his fans just go crazy. There's raah raah, and there's not even that much room for funny. You kind of almost need him in a little bit of conflict; you need him in an interview where somebody's trying to catch him but not trying to bury him. When he does interviews with, like, an ABC or something, you hear him say something, and then he comes back with a banger line. You're like, you need just Rosie O'Donnell to get that 10 in a row, and we forget about everything. We're like, God damn, this guy's fu.

I saw someone say this theory, and I thought it was a great idea: do an election. I think we need what England has—do an election and put our two best candidates in there so they can Vite it out. Right? Jesus, my, you [__] your pants for sure. You for sure [__] your pants. Do you want to cut to commercial? Let me get a z; let them do it. Now you're going to throw up. Last time you did a Zen, you were like, "Guys, I think I'm going to die."

Let's get back to the show. Alright, guys, we got to take a break for a second because I want to explain to you how we're going to ruin our October. You see, the brand Whoop—you guys are definitely familiar with Whoop. If you're not, these are little bracelets that go on your arm, and they give you all the facts about your body: how your sleep was, other facts, all kinds of statistics about recovery, your workouts, and the strain you're doing. It literally lets you know if you're being a healthy human being or not. It's incredibly valuable for upkeeping that health and longevity.

How do you make sure that you have a great, long-lasting life? The way you do that is by having no fun. So we are going to do that for October, and we're going to basically compete about who is having the most sleep. That could be a competition that would be beneficial for me. Listen, there are four guys; we're going to compete no matter what we do, so we're obviously going to do this Whoop right now during Sober Oober. Basically, it is their idea that this is the best time to give Whoop a try. Why? Because you actually have a metric that can show you the effects of not drinking alcohol on your body and how positive it will be. Yes, you will sleep way more, but now you have to be really alert about how bored you are.

So we should also feel the world and stuff. Yes, you have to feel it. Maybe you're not artistic; you just drink too much. All it is, we are going to measure this, and then we're going to have a separate measurement of joy in our life. Okay, let's—that's our own. You know what's going to be great about this? The great thing about this is that Akash gets no sleep; he has insomnia, correct? The rest of us drink, and we are going to see who should win this test. He doesn't drink; he doesn't do drugs. His body should be a temple, but we are going to see who has the most religious body.

His body is agnostic right now—100%. Your body's like a 7-Eleven, just open 24/7, you know what I mean? Just ready to go. That felt point. Now, Whoop has said that drinking negatively affects your overall recovery by about 12%. We'll see.

=> 00:46:26

Life is a test of recovery—how you measure joy and health can redefine your limits.

We are going to measure and then we're going to have a separate measurement of joy in our life. Okay, let's do this. The great thing about this is that Akash gets no sleep; he has insomnia, correct? Meanwhile, the rest of us drink. We are going to see who should win this test. Akash doesn't drink or do drugs; his body should be a temple. However, we are going to see who has the most religious body. Right now, his body is atheist or, at best, agnostic.

Your body is like a 7-Eleven, just open 24/7, you know what I mean? That felt like a point—it's open 24/7. Whoop has said that drinking negatively affects your overall recovery by about 12%. We'll see about that! I want to beat my recovery; I want to prove I can recover with alcohol. Oh, that's fire! That's a cool thing; I like that. Every time I drink and I won't tell it, it will be like, "You drink less," and then it shows up. I've gotten 100% sleep and drank. Me too! No way you can beat it. I'm going to beat it!

The point is, we are going to be comparing the data. You guys should join us in this process to see what kind of improvements in your health you can make for yourself. Join the challenge and sign up for one month free at join.woop.com.

Now, let's talk about the Nikki Jam thing. Bro, she's hot! He played that off good, though. You have to be honest; he played that off so well. He was like, "Oh, I'm so glad he stepped up here. What's up, Nikki?" He said "what's up" like he played it off, but he called him a "she." That's the thing you do—you think your dog is androgynous.

Yeah, but I'm talking about a dog. You've seen the dog for a while. I guess you're right about that; I do think it's a guy. My dog? Yeah, you hesitate. Not a dude? No, this whole time! Oh, he got boy energy. You got a dyke dog! Crazy hard dog—that was crazy! You got a golden stud, bro, for real. That's a fact.

But no, we have to just make Trump the king. I love this! I said this before; I want him to be part of America but not in a position where he actually has to make decisions. Why can't we get H? I guess we can, but they just don't have the charisma. That's the thing. There are a lot of people involved in politics who want to, what is it, drain the swamp? They don't call it that, but they want to stop the endless wars and all the other nonsense that it looks like Trump is trying to do as well. They just lack the charisma Trump has.

Trump is just so much charisma that he could actually become president with those ideas. You know what I mean? It's really impressive. All these corporations that make trillions of dollars and usually silence every one of these candidates could not stop his charisma freight train the first time. They stopped it the second time, and now, at this moment, it's not looking good. But it's pretty impressive to do what he did off of pure charisma.

Everybody knew going into the election he didn't know anything. They asked, "What's your favorite verse in the Bible?" He goes, "I like the whole Bible." Pure charisma! What Christian is going to object to that? How dare you rank God's work? Right? Yo, what a blasphemous question—what's your favorite part of the Bible? All of it! The whole thing!

It's far—we need more of that! We need 10 of those! If he had a VP, I think he wins. You think? I think because you look at him like you get things done. I also think that like, um, Pence is in there to sabotage him, bro. Like, he just does things, makes up stories if he needs to, doing all this nonsense. I think it's intentional.

Wow, at this point, maybe he never stopped hating Trump. Wow, an inside job? Yeah, maybe he’s been hating Trump and was like a sleeper cell—he's a spy, feeding him all the nonsense that we then criticize Trump for. Wow, they might have to yank that dude!

I also think that the meme era of promoting political ideology is starting to wane. I think the era, like early Trump, had so many memes that were so important. "Build the wall," that kind of stuff—all the things that would come out of it. There were all these memes that would condense the information in a funny way that would project the ideology. This was when memes were getting popular, and it was a really fun thing to share with one another. I'm not saying that we don't still do that, but it's not as novel.

=> 00:50:29

The meme game is losing its spark; what was once fresh and authentic is now just recycled jokes for echo chambers.

Hating Trump? Wow, it seems like there are some strong feelings about him. There’s talk about someone being a sleeper cell, a spy who is feeding information that we then criticize Trump for. It’s quite a revelation, and I wonder if they might have to yank that individual.

Additionally, I think that the meme era of promoting political ideology is starting to wane. During the early Trump years, there were so many memes that were incredibly important, like “build the wall” and other catchy phrases. These memes condensed information in a funny way that projected ideology. This was a time when memes were gaining popularity, and sharing them was a fun activity. While we still engage in meme-sharing, it feels less novel now; it’s become a bit more redundant and, frankly, tired.

I’ve talked to Shifty, and he explains how his generation approaches memes. They create “jokes on jokes on jokes” to the point where the average person struggles to understand them. I think this shift is because the initial versions of memes have become so commonplace that they no longer elicit the same reactions they once did. Is that a fair assessment, Shifty? Now, it seems like we’re just doing inside jokes on inside jokes, and the only audience left for the original memes is those who want to hear their feelings echoed back to them.

For instance, Democrats had the dark Brandon meme where Biden put on sunglasses and proclaimed, “I’m dark Brandon.” They tried to make it a G-rated version of the Trump campaign, but it feels like both campaigns are chasing something that has lost its authenticity and purity. This situation is reminiscent of a big corporation buying a cool streetwear brand; it just doesn’t feel genuine anymore. When Supreme started partnering with everyone, you could sense that it had lost its cool factor. What made it cool was its authenticity, which seems to have faded.

Last week, I noticed something interesting: they made a song about eating the dogs—“they're eating the dog, eating the cat.” That song was fire! I wish it had been created for a better reason, but it still penetrated culture. It’s amusing how people are trying so hard to defend that loss by scouring the internet for instances where someone has eaten a house pet, as if that justifies the statement. It’s so ridiculous! Sure, it might have happened at some point, but is it a cultural norm in Springfield? I don’t think so.

There was also an excerpt from our podcast where we discussed the Haitian situation, suggesting that we need to teach them not to eat pets. I extended that thought to immigrants in Europe, saying we need to teach Muslims not to do it either. It’s funny because I can tell when people who are upset about something haven’t actually listened to our podcast. They threaten to boycott and claim they’ll never listen again, yet they don’t even understand the context of the conversation.

Back when getting canceled had some weight, it was clear that those who were canceling were often not even subscribed to the person they were targeting. Many of these individuals feel powerless in their lives and try to exert their power through cancellation. I can imagine how intoxicating it must feel to have the ability to make someone successful bend to your will.

To clarify my remarks, I genuinely believe that we need to teach immigrants in Europe not to engage in certain behaviors. I was 100% serious when I said that.

=> 00:54:19

Power struggles often disguise themselves as moral outrage; true strength lies in understanding, not canceling.

The conversation begins with a reflection on the concept of cancellation, particularly how it used to hold significant weight. The speaker expresses skepticism, noting, "you were never subscribed to the person you're cancelling." They highlight that many individuals who engage in cancellation often feel powerless in their own lives and seek to exert power over others through this means. The speaker suggests that this feeling of power can be intoxicating, as it allows one to influence someone who is quite successful.

Shifting the focus, the speaker makes a serious remark about immigrants in Europe, stating, "we have to teach them not to do it." They clarify that their comments pertain specifically to illegal immigrants, emphasizing that those who have legally immigrated should have the right to participate in society. The speaker insists that if someone enters a country illegally, there should be an educational component to inform them about societal norms, saying, "these are not your women." They stress that while legal immigrants have rights, illegal immigrants should not feel entitled to act without regard for the law.

The conversation takes a humorous turn as the speaker recounts personal anecdotes about their experiences with pets in Miami. They mention their dogs barking non-stop for four months and joke about how one of their dogs, named Cookie, was snatched. The humor continues with a playful exchange about the names of their dogs, which were named after food, leading to laughter and banter among the participants.

As the discussion progresses, the speaker insists on being serious, stating, "I want to be serious on our comedy podcast." They express their belief that women should have legal rights, further elaborating on the topic of alien rights. The conversation then shifts to comments about Jews and anti-Semitism, with the speaker noting that many people assume they are Jewish, which leads to a unique perspective on experiencing anti-Semitism without being part of the community.

The speaker humorously contrasts their experience with that of Jewish individuals, stating, "at least with the other [__] Jews, right, they get anti-Semitism but then they can have a nice 75° day with the sun shining." They express frustration at receiving anti-Semitism while also dealing with unfavorable weather conditions. The conversation culminates in a comedic reflection on immigration, with a playful nod to biblical references, suggesting that the complexities of cultural perceptions can lead to misunderstandings and humor.

=> 00:58:30

Humor can push boundaries, but it shouldn't cross into hate.

Anti-Semitism is a serious issue that often manifests in various forms, including derogatory comments and stereotypes. One particularly disturbing notion is that it is cloudy or rainy because the Jews are afraid of the Sun. Such statements are not only insulting but also disgusting. In this context, it’s essential to remember that Christ is King. This phrase serves as a reminder of the centrality of faith in navigating complex social issues.

The conversation then shifts to immigration, where it is humorously suggested that what Christ said about immigration was "let him eat man." This leads to a comical yet unsettling reflection on the consumption of human beings, which is met with laughter. The speaker notes that these Asians are reading the Bible and are perplexed by the idea of eating human flesh, comparing it to their own cultural practices of consuming animals.

The speaker expresses a deep affection for their faith, stating, I lick my lips when you said that right there that's how much I love my king. They identify as an "eater," emphasizing their enjoyment of the ritual of communion, where they take that church wafer and tuck it under my lip like a Zen to keep the essence of Christ with them throughout the day.

The discussion then veers into a critique of outdated technology, specifically pagers. The speaker mocks these stupid terrorists still using pagers, suggesting that they are out of touch with modern communication methods. They recount how the IDF sold pagers to Lebanese terrorists to facilitate discreet communication, only for those pagers to backfire, leading to chaos.

As the conversation progresses, the speaker acknowledges that any listeners here that are upset at us should know that they will remain unapologetic for their jokes. They express a desire to watch an apology video from the Shits and Gigs gentlemen, who faced backlash for laughing at a racist joke during a podcast. The speaker emphasizes that they want to take this seriously, recognizing that these are serious guys who are defending their community.

In a moment of levity, the speaker urges everyone to take this seriously as they prepare to listen to the heartfelt apology from the Shits and Gigs crew. They acknowledge that there's just literally no excuse for the inappropriate jokes made during their session on the Flagrant podcast, particularly one that was incredibly inappropriate and pertaining to black women.

In conclusion, the speaker emphasizes that while humor can often cross lines, there is never an excuse for making jokes that perpetuate harmful stereotypes or offend marginalized communities.

=> 01:02:46

There’s no excuse for inappropriate jokes, especially when they hurt those who look up to us. It's time to move on to a better vibe.

We did a session on the Flagrant Podcast while we were on our US tour. During this session, there were a few books made that were incredibly inappropriate, one specifically pertaining to black women. In the clip, Andrew was making a joke—I'm not even going to get into specifics—making a frankly racist joke, and we were laughing at it.

To give context, first of all, before we get into specifics or anything like that, obviously, there’s just literally no excuse. Pause There is no excuse. Pause There is no [__] excuse.

I just want to take a moment to emphasize that there is never an excuse for making jokes. Can we try to clarify that? I'm not going to ever make an excuse for being a comedian; there is never an excuse for making jokes. This is a real statement said by a man, and I just want that to be clear: there is never an excuse for making jokes.

Now, let's take it seriously. Look at how sad he is over on the left; it is a real thing. Do you see how we should go back? We should go back because he's going through it right now. Look at how he practiced this; let me pick my skin. Guys, I need you to watch and look at him bite his bottom lip like, "Oh [__] man."

Fight or flight is a real thing, and it’s not easy to say, but when you’re in those situations, you look at it through a lens of, "Bro, if it was me, I promise you I’d stand up, I’d kick the cameras down, I’d smack homeboy in the face." I would say this, I’d do that. But when you’re in there, you’re in shock. All you want to do is move on.

I've been there; I know what that’s like. When you’re just having fun and laughing with the boys, you’re like, "I just can’t wait to move on from this." Don’t you know that feeling when you experience the fight or flight response, and then you just laugh? Does that happen to you guys? When your body is being torn with the primal urge to either fight or flee, and instead, you just go, "Ha ha"?

I feel like you’re making an excuse for jokes. I’m not; I would never. That sounds like what you’re doing. Hey, I would never excuse taking two things that have nothing to do with one another and then bringing them together to make your friends laugh.

What if it has a good setup and a misdirection at the end? You’re enticing me; you’re doing that thing where you’re kind of tricking me with your brain. You’re using your brain to trick me into agreeing with something I do not want to agree with. I’m just asking—please continue.

All you want to do is move on. Just move on to the next thing. Just move on to the next thing. Like, we had to say a few times, "Bro, just move on." We were jumping from so many different topics, saying, "Move on, move on, move on." It’s not even about pity or anything; we just wanted to get out of that situation and keep the ball rolling.

I thought it was going to be one of those Bros chats where you just say everything that’s polite and proper. What do you guys do when you hang out with the boys? We play games. What kind of games do you play? Sometimes we just say ten things we’re grateful for.

I hate that you guys have created an energy on this podcast where instead of just saying what we’re grateful for and appreciating the community that we build, we try to make each other laugh with inappropriate jokes. I hate that kind of boy hang.

Can we change it? I want to change that. Can we start right now? Let’s make it a Shabbat dinner. Let’s make it a Shabbat dinner. Okay, what is that? It’s the vibes we need—just a vibe, talk about our weeks, be grateful, and turn down everything else in the world.

Do you see why everyone hates them? Do you see why? Because that’s their idea of fun. Their idea of fun is sitting around eating food that didn’t taste good and then telling everybody what they’re grateful for. I’m going to try to do that, though.

Yeah, that’s what we should do. There we go. Can we make an agreement right now? No more inappropriate jokes. I like that, especially from you, and even you, I like that. Yeah, you never say anything. I don’t; I’m the most appropriate.

You are, thank God. I have to be. Please continue. It’s something that’s really, really hurt people that look to us for support.

=> 01:06:37

It's time to turn down the noise and focus on gratitude; let's protect each other and create the vibes we truly need.

Let's make it a Shabbat dinner. Okay, what is that? It's the vibes we need—just a vibe to talk about our weeks and be grateful. We should turn down everything else in the world. You see why everyone hates them? Do you see why? Because that's their idea of fun. Their idea of fun is sitting around, eating food that didn't taste good, and then telling everybody what they're grateful for. I'm going to try to do that, though. Yeah, that's what we should do. There we go! Can we make an agreement right now? No more inappropriate jokes.

I like that, especially from you, and even you. I like that. Yeah, you never say anything. I don't; I'm the most appropriate. You are, thank God. Yeah, I have to be. Please continue—keep you guys in line. Something that's like really, really hurt people who look to us for support and look to us to feel protected. Protected is the main thing that I wanted to discuss. Come on, it is our duty to protect you guys.

Yo, I feel like we failed. Yo, I feel like we failed, Aash. Yo, the past how many years have we been doing this? Six, seven? The past seven years where I've been saying that your people [] mud, and you've been saying that my people [] sheep. I don't feel like we've protected either of our people. You know what? You're right. You're right, and it's our duty to protect people. Scottish people, I just want to say that I apologize to all of you for letting this [] say we [].

You Scottish people, I apologize that you're all so ugly that you have to [] sheep. I apologize for that. It's our duty to protect. Wait, so whenever we see a video of an Indian guy [] mud, what is that? We haven't seen one? Oh really? You've seen a girl, a guy [] a girl in mud? They [] mud? Oh, the other videos—they were going down on the mud, though. Gotta be doing foreplay, gotta be warming up the mud. It's wet already.

Stop making jokes. Stop trying to have fun with the boys. I'm thankful for you guys, bro. Yeah, can you just say two things you're grateful for? Because what, you black women? One better be black women. Better be black women! Say you don't say black. Hey, if you don't say black women, it's a problem. Al, I'm thankful that you guys don't say I'm thankful that I'm not married to a black woman. Don't you dare!

I'm saying what not to say. She's from Spain; I got to protect my woman now. Yeah, okay, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Sorry, Indians, by the way. Apologize. No, I apologize. I should have protected you. I apologize because you're not capable of protecting yourself. That's the thing—I don't think that you're capable of protecting yourself, so it's my job to protect you. I got to infantilize you, and I apologize and say Indians don't [] mud. I don't think that we have it in us to overcome jokes, so I apologize. I should pretend you guys would never [] mud, and you've never smelled.

I feel like you added that. That's true, and I'm going to protect us. That is true. How are you going to protect them when we come here? I think they don't smell ever. I don't think they've ever smelled. I wouldn't even make a caveat, and your food is sanitary. I also—that's the thing I believe, and you're not sanitary. What are you talking about? In the sink? I'm grateful that their food is sanitary. I'm just saying, bit his feet. What are you talking about? Why are you disagreeing with me?

I do bite my feet! I just want to say that is not a Scottish thing, and I don't want you to put that on my community. That is just me. Now, as far as the sanitary, you're eating your own body—that's kind of a Haan thing. Mark, can we take this serious? This is an apology. They're fighting for their careers; they're fighting for their lives here.

I'm sorry, and it is definitely not cool to be in that situation and again not be the ones to stand up and keep the cers down. We [__] it on that occasion; it's not going to happen again. It's about being human; it's about realizing that you don't know what you prepared for. You don't know how to prepare for something; you don't know what's going to happen. And once it's happened one time, you're like, "F pause."

You know what's mad funny about this is that they had [] that they asked to take out the episode. You know what? They didn't ask to take out your racist Lander. Why is your nose sing? They had []—their producer, whatever, was like, "Hey, we really think that's inappropriate; we'd like to take that out." That's very inc— their fight and flight instinct really kicked in after the power down. But with that joke about the black woman? Nothing.

=> 01:10:39

Mistakes are stepping stones to growth; don't let fear of cancellation silence your voice. Your true community will stand by you.

Stand up and keep the cers down. On that occasion, it's not going to happen again. It's about being human; it's about realizing that you don't know what you prepared for. You don't know how to prepare for something when you don't know what's going to happen. Once it's happened one time, you're like, "f pause."

You know what's mad funny about this? They had [__] that they asked to take out the episode. You know what? They didn't ask to take out your racist Lander. Why is your nose sing? Their producer, whatever, was like, "Hey, we really think that's inappropriate. We'd like to take that out." That's very inappropriate. Their fight and flight instinct really kicked in after the power down, but with that joke about the black woman, nothing really seemed to trigger the fight or flight response. Your delivery was too good. Maybe they were seduced by your delivery.

I like them; I don't feel bad they're going through this, but you don't have to protect anybody. That's what I would say to y'all personally and publicly: you don't have to protect your people. People are equal.

Okay, let's listen to the end of the apology. You learn from your mistakes, and that's true. You literally learn from your mistakes. We [__] it, and we're like, "We're sorry. We definitely do apologize." For me, it's one of those moments where you don't realize that, for one, when you're part of a community, you can hurt your own community, especially when you're not intending to.

It's so crazy that the narrative that's been spun about how we feel about our community is ironic. The whole reason we're in that country was to show how much we love our community, our supporters, and how much time we spent at the shows. We were just getting to know people, understanding our community better, making friends, making bonds, and showing love. This whole six-week trip was just about showing how much we love our community and how much our community shows up for us. Then, to have that exact same trip be the reason we're having this conversation now is disheartening.

But at the end of the day, mistakes make you a better person. You're not born a perfect person. We don't condone or appease that behavior. Alright, we get it. Here's the thing: I do have empathy for what they're going through. They're young in this content game, and this is what happens with a lot of people who are funny on the internet but aren't comedians. They are still concerned about cancellation.

I think comedians understand that being funny sometimes involves saying inappropriate things. That inappropriate thing can be something about you or something about other people. The nature of being funny is that something inappropriate happens. What they don't realize, because they're young in the game and we've all gone through this, is that it's scary in the beginning. You really think you're going to be canceled. You're worried; I'm sure they have people they need to take care of, and they're like, "Uh oh, what if I have to go back and get a regular job? Is it all over?" I completely empathize with that.

But they don't realize that by apologizing, they're just amplifying the situation. The people that are upset, the majority of them, don't even listen to the podcast. A lot of them are probably resentful of your success, thinking, "Why the [__] should these guys make all this money? They're just reacting to stupid videos on the internet and telling stories."

I'm just a friend. Why can't I have millions of dollars like they have? But they don't realize that they really think it's their community. Your community still loves you. Your community still knows you, and if you actually have a community, like you say—which I do believe you do—they're not going to immediately throw you away because of one clip where you're laughing at a clear [] joke. I was at the live show; they're not going anywhere. Your fans [] love was amazing, and your fans [__] you. They are going anywhere.

What you have done, and this is hopefully the learning moment, is empower those people who are trying to cancel you. Remember, the people trying to cancel you get off on you being canceled. They enjoy you having to come out and apologize and bend to their whim.

=> 01:14:09

Your real community won't abandon you over a joke; don't let the cancel culture dictate your worth.

Many people believe that they can easily achieve millions of dollars like others do, but they often fail to realize that their community still loves them. Your community truly knows you, and if you genuinely have a community, as I believe you do, they are not going to immediately throw you away because of one clip where you're laughing at a clear joke. I was at the live show, and I can assure you, your fans love you; they are not going anywhere.

However, what has happened here is that you have empowered those people who are trying to cancel you. Remember, the people trying to cancel you get off on seeing you being canceled. They enjoy watching you come out and apologize, bending to their whim, and changing the disposition of who you are. This is indeed a change, as you had the ability to edit out that clip, but you chose not to. It didn't mean anything to you at the time, and now you only want to address it because of the negative reaction. If nobody had reacted, you wouldn't have felt the need to say, "We feel horrible, and we have to protect our community."

The learning lesson here is that you do not need to apologize, as doing so only empowers these people who aren't even part of your community in the first place. You have built something with people who actually know and care about you, and one thing that happens could never sway them, especially on a podcast where you're joking around. It's ridiculous to think otherwise.

When you're first going through this, you might think about your black female fans and appreciate them so much, imagining they must be hurt by this. But in reality, they are not hurt. You start feeling empathy for people who aren't actually feeling bad or hurt. You think about all the black girls you see at the live shows and assume they are heartbroken, but they know who you are; they know it's a joke and go out to enjoy the show.

While I agree with everything you said, I think in their situation, I don't necessarily feel like they shouldn't apologize because their fan base is different. You guys are comedians who have cultivated a fan base that is used to edgy jokes. Their fans tuned into the show and heard them talk or laugh about jokes in a way that they had never done before, so it’s understandable that their fans could be disappointed.

However, I would agree with you if the reaction to that episode had happened immediately after it came out. The negative reaction came a month or two after the episode aired, which to me indicates that some people just enjoy canceling or causing nonsense on the internet. They are trying to bait people with this, especially since this is on the back end of another situation where people were already not liking them for various reasons.

This resentment often stems from hateful, angry, bitter, jealous people who see these guys thriving and having fun. They are traveling cross-continent, doing what looks like the easiest thing in the world—podcasting. But honestly, it's really not that hard. I understand why people are resentful of the success of podcasters; they don’t have another avenue to justify their position.

We do stand-up, and while people can say whatever they want about it, most are scared to even try. Stand-up is an art, a skill that can be refined. For instance, you can criticize Draymond Green’s podcast, but you can't talk badly about his basketball skills. He excels at what he does, and most people won't even step on stage to try stand-up.

So, yes, people are resentful, and they find a podcast clip to justify whatever narrative they are spinning about these guys. They throw that on the fire, and that’s why I felt bad that they are using us as a tool. The joke in question, which I didn't even know about until I watched it, is so clearly a joke. It's funny, and we have said much crazier things and laughed at them. The turnaround was so quick and so funny that you just have to laugh at it. It’s all about taking what you said and turning it into something else entirely.

=> 01:17:33

Laughter shouldn't come with an apology; it's the essence of comedy that keeps us all sane.

In discussions about humor and its reception, there are often misunderstandings that lead to resentment. To lock down seven Footers at 6 seven or whatever the [__] he is, like he does, and they don't have that other thing to justify what they have. Most people won't even get on the stage, and exactly, so yeah, people are resentful. They find this podcast clip just to justify whatever BS narrative they're spinning about these guys, and then they throw that on the fire.

That's why I felt bad that they're using us as a tool. The joke in question? I didn't even know what the joke was until I watched it. It’s so clearly a joke, and it’s funny. We've said much crazier things and laughed at it. The turnaround was so quick and funny that you just have to laugh at it. It’s like verbal Jiu-Jitsu, taking what you said and turning it back around. I get their position; it sucks. I do think they’re nice guys, but yeah, they’re awesome.

Being in that spot, I just don’t think you ever need to apologize for laughing at a joke. If they came on and said the joke, then maybe they could say, “Look, I did something wrong. I said a joke I shouldn’t have said; my apologies.” But they just laughed at a joke. I laugh at [__]. That’s [__] up. If you see a fat person fall off a building and crush a daycare, yeah, that’s a funny thing. You never saw that? Like, a fat person falling from a building to crush an entire daycare? It’s a crazy thing that happened.

It’s so tragic. Israel does it all the time in Gaza, actually. Yeah, just to start more specific, it does get less funny, but it’s still pretty funny. That is a good point. Maybe we went too far. Maybe you guys went too far. Anyway, we don’t have to bring it back to the juice, which is often what happens in conversations. That’s what [__] does, though; he always brings it back to this guy.

He had a great time in Vegas, but get off your phone so much, bro. Every time the camera cuts to D, he’s on his phone. You’re watching the fight, and he’s videotaping. You’re right there in front; use your eyes and enjoy the moment. I have to defend him here; his nose is hard sometimes. My bad, my bad, that was racist. I do apologize for that joke. Don’t be sorry. You know what? We have to protect you, D. Thanks, guys.

Hopefully, this is a learning lesson for them. They are good guys; they’re new to this game, and they’re going to figure it out. I have noticed this kind of thing happen with funny people on YouTube who are podcasters but aren’t stand-ups. It’s not just them; it’s other people as well. I think it’s because they don’t really understand the essence of jokes. If jokes were important to them, they would defend them.

You’ll never have a comedian coming here and apologizing for a joke because then we’d have to apologize for every single thing we do. We’d have to apologize for our existence. For them, they’re like, “Alright, we could just apologize and move on.” It’s going to come with you. You apologize now, and the next time you guys laugh at a [__] up joke about something else, that community is coming for you. Everybody is sniffing it out.

It might be black women now; you might make an Asian joke, and then the Asians are coming. Everybody out there has their antennas up, and they’re like, “Yo, we could cancel these [__] because they’re going to bend over the second we start lighting up their Twitter.” Hopefully, this is a learning lesson for them. Maybe they have different rules in England or something; I don’t know.

Oh, that’s right! They’re so softer over there too. Like, you can’t say “spaz” or the N-word even. Yo, wait, what? I mean, you can’t. I’m saying you can’t. Mark, are you going to get us canceled by the spaz community? I feel like the spaz community is going to come after him. What are they going to do to you? Well, I’m not going to say “cuzz.” I feel like that would be inappropriate. But they’d probably be really controlled and have a very measured approach towards whatever was going on.

Exactly! What do “spaz” mean out there? I think it’s Down syndrome. Think like people who have mental disabilities. Oh, what is it here? Kind of like a kid that has sugar? I think, yeah. Isn’t it like you just eat Frosted Mini Wheats in the morning and then act like a child? So that’s what they think, right? They think retards are in England. Yeah, I guess so. That’s actually [] up on y’all’s part to call them that. That’s derogatory. Oh, I thought that’s where we got “spaz” from because you’re acting like a [].

=> 01:21:06

Embrace your quirks; they make you unique, not less.

The conversation begins with a light-hearted discussion about the spaz community and the potential backlash someone might face from them. One participant humorously speculates, "What are they going to do to you?" and adds, "I'm not going to say cuzz I feel like that would be inappropriate, but they'd probably be really control and uh the most... yeah, you know, and have a very measured approach towards whatever was going on."

The dialogue then shifts to the meaning of the term spaz. One person suggests it relates to down syndrome and mental disabilities, while another comments, "Isn't it like you just Frosted Mini Wheats in the morning and then you just act like a child?" This leads to a discussion about how some people perceive individuals with mental disabilities, with one participant noting, "That's actually [__] up on y'all's part to call them that; that's derogatory."

The conversation continues with a playful exchange about being a spaz on the mic, where one person claims, "I'm going to spit some crazy [__] on the mic." They reference a rap song, recalling a line that sparked their interest, "I exchange vcards with the rars crazy." They express a desire for a Rap Genius type of explanation for the lyrics, emphasizing that the artist doesn't mean anything derogatory but rather refers to "girls that are... very [laughter] stupid."

The topic then shifts to Puff Diddy, who has recently faced cancellation due to an incident involving "a thousand bottles of lube and baby oil" taken from his estate. One participant quips, "That's a lot of butt [__] right there," while another humorously suggests that Diddy should clarify, "Listen, I'm ashy; this got nothing to do with butt sex."

As the conversation progresses, they discuss Diddy's current situation, with one person noting, "Diddy got to come out and say that... it's dry up here." They also touch on the absurdity of the amount of baby oil involved, questioning, "How big is that house?"

The dialogue transitions into a promotion for Fume, an award-winning flavored air device. One participant explains, "Fume is not like vaping; there is no vapor." They highlight the benefits of flavored air as a healthier alternative to smoking, mentioning various flavors like crisp mint and orange vanilla. The speaker emphasizes that Fume can satisfy oral fixations without harmful effects, stating, "You can just do whatever you need to do."

They conclude the promotion by encouraging listeners to try Fume, noting that "Fume has helped over 300,000 customers," and offering a special deal: "if you use the code flagrant, you get a free gift with your journey pack."

Finally, the conversation shifts gears again, introducing Blue Chew, the first sponsor of the show. The speaker asserts, "If you want to deliver better dick, Blue Chew is your move," humorously addressing the audience and suggesting that many might be "mediocre at best." They encourage listeners to consider Blue Chew for enhancing their sexual experiences.

=> 01:25:06

We rock with them because it is the best. If you want to deliver better dick, who can't deliver better dick?

I want to give credit to the person who told me this, but I don't know if he would want it out as his opinion, so I'm going to reserve using his name. It's not my opinion. Yeah, tell us what 50 said! No, no, no, it wasn't 50. You guys know him, but I just want to make sure he feels comfortable. He mentioned that he thinks all this happened once that dude came out and said that Diddy was the one who killed Tupac.

I initially thought that all this Diddy stuff stemmed from his lawsuit with the liquor company that owns Ciroc. Apparently, Diddy won a billion-dollar lawsuit for racial discrimination against the liquor company that owns Ciroc. He won it, and they were going to have to pay up, and then all this stuff happened afterward. I'm like, "Oh wow, imagine being and complaining about racism." Ain't that crazy? I mean, yeah, the [__] racist! You're not even an immigrant; you were born here.

So, I thought that this was the case, and I assumed that these billion-dollar liquor mafias are in the pockets of politicians. They might be saying, "Hey listen, look into this guy. He's got some [] up [] he wants to take billions from us. Well, you're going to have to deal with this." My buddy was basically saying that this guy alleged that Diddy was the one who contracted him to kill Tupac.

That guy had been locked up, so my buddy pointed out that he had a year to cooperate with the feds. He had a year to learn everything about Diddy. Furthermore, Diddy’s stuff kept getting leaked, like the hotel video. All of a sudden, it’s leaked that there are videos of all these sexual escapades. All this information is getting leaked almost like to sway the public. Because if out of nowhere they just locked up Diddy, maybe the public would be like, "What is this? This is horrible! This is racist! How are you going to take down this successful dude?" Now that it’s kind of known and accepted that he's having these crazy sex parties, there might be some drug trafficking going on. It’s almost like they’re preparing the public for the takedown of this very powerful man.

I wonder if it does come from that dude. I don’t know; what do you guys think? That’s interesting. I just thought that those rumors were out there. I guess him coming out and saying it was different. I had always heard rumors that he had Biggie killed; you hear wild [__] about Diddy for decades. Yeah, fair enough. I don’t know.

He said that quite a while ago, like there was a space in time since he did that interview and said that Diddy put a price on Tupac's head. He didn’t actually contract that particular person; it was like some meeting in a hotel where he was saying, "Oh, I’ll put a mill on his head." Then these guys said, "Oh [], we know there’s a price on his head. We happen to be in Vegas at the same time; let’s get that." And you’re right about a mill in ’97; with inflation, what the [] is that now? That’s crazy money!

So, his three charges are racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Apparently, some of these girls are underage, which is going to be...

=> 01:28:53

Speaking out against powerful figures takes immense courage, especially when the odds are stacked against you.

The discussion revolves around a series of allegations and events concerning a prominent figure, specifically Diddy. It is noted that he made a statement quite some time ago regarding a price on Tupac's head, which he did not contract directly. Instead, it was mentioned during a meeting in a hotel where he allegedly said, "oh I'll put a mill on his head." This information reached certain individuals who were in Las Vegas at the same time and decided to act on it. The conversation highlights the inflation of a million dollars from 1997, questioning what that amount would equate to in today's economy, suggesting it is "crazy money."

The conversation also touches on Diddy's three charges: racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. It is mentioned that some of the girls involved are reportedly underage, which complicates the situation further. The speaker expresses a belief that the sex trafficking allegations hold more weight than others, suggesting that if you were Sarak, you would be aware of the surrounding issues and might feel betrayed by Diddy, especially if you had been protecting him. The sentiment is that now that they are no longer in business, they are not obligated to protect him anymore.

The discussion shifts to Cassie, who is seen as the catalyst for others to come forward. The speaker notes that many in the industry were aware of Diddy's actions but were too afraid to speak out. Cassie's decision to "open that gate" has led to many others, including his security and associates, beginning to share their experiences and clear their names. The speaker acknowledges that while it is often considered "brave" to come forward, it is particularly significant in Cassie's case.

The risks associated with accusing a powerful individual like Diddy are highlighted. The speaker points out that once someone comes forward, they face scrutiny and potential backlash, with no guarantee of protection. They emphasize that "you either get touched or lawyers bankrupt you," illustrating the financial strain that legal battles can impose. The speaker notes that anyone can sue anyone for anything, which can lead to overwhelming legal challenges, especially for those without substantial financial resources.

The conversation also delves into the arrogance displayed by Diddy, suggesting that he either knows he has done something wrong or believes he is untouchable. The speaker compares Diddy to Russell Simmons, who fled to Bali, implying that Simmons was aware of the implications of his actions. The speaker concludes that Diddy’s continued presence in America, despite the allegations, reflects either incredible arrogance or innocence.

Finally, the discussion raises questions about Diddy’s motives for filming people, suggesting that it could be due to a freakish nature or a sense of being untouchable. The speaker reflects on Diddy’s claim that "Cassie's a liar," indicating a level of confidence or denial regarding the accusations against him.

=> 01:32:23

Power can make you feel untouchable, but it often comes with a dangerous game of exposure and blackmail.

You want to, but you ain't been back to America in quite a while. Yeah, like let's call it what it is: nobody goes to Bali during a rainy season, and you are there every single day. Yeah, right? And with the balls to even comment on [__]. Did he could have left. Yeah, he could have gone somewhere. I mean, he could have left. Yeah, incredibly arrogant.

I don't think AR, because he said he—I mean, he's still running an operation. I think he was still running an operation, and I think that he got flipped on by people that he was working with. So then the question is, why was Diddy filming all these people? Sure, you could just be filming people because, like, you're a freak and you have all these weird—he's untouchable. That's the arrogance. Diddy said Cassie's a liar, knowing there's hotel footage out there. He knew that he paid—he thought he paid to have it buried.

I 100% agree with you. I think that that is the arrogance, or it's a Whitey Bulger situation. You guys know Whitey Bulger, the Boston Irish mob guy who was a Fed? Yeah, and he was working with the feds, so he could do whatever he wants with impunity because he knows he's helping out the feds. So maybe when you said he was a fed, you mean he was an informant. It was inform—so maybe I think, which is what Mark is alluding to, is maybe we don't know. These are all allegations—allegedly, these are allegedly here.

Maybe Diddy was cooperating. Maybe Diddy had protection. Maybe Diddy was sharing some of that surveillance footage or whatever it was that he had with certain, I don't know, three-letter organizations. And because of that, he felt safe. He felt protected. He's like, "They not going to let me go through this, all the stuff I gave them." I don't know. Again, I don't know. This is a conspiracy theory.

But as someone that's blackmailing someone, the worst thing you can do is be exposed. Have exposure on you. Say that again! So like, in order for Epstein to blackmail people, people can't know he's a blackmailer. You know what I mean? In order for Diddy to have people—again, this is a conspiracy theory—but if people are coming to his parties and he's filming them, which is, according to the prosecution, he has tapes of people at these freak-offs. Yeah, you know, for what purpose? And why does he feel so confident?

Oh, I would assume, I guess, if I'm going to try to climb into that guy's mind, there's a lot of stuff about power that he gets off on. Like, that's what the freak-off is really—ruined a fun term, by the way. That's what the freak-off is: it's like, "I'm going to make you do this thing." Watching a tape is just—I'm seeing my power being exerted again and again. That's why I would take it. Yeah, it's like a token. It's like a serial killer keeps a button from a victim's shirt, and then you inherently had power over them.

So whether he was sharing it with organizations—again, it's all speculation; no one knows—but he definitely has power over them. Yeah, like if someone's trying to step out of line and like [__] him over, all he has to do is send a picture and be like, "Yo, by the way, do you remember this?" And then any problem he has with that person that came to his party at any time goes away.

Yo, you know what's real funny? It's that like Shits and Gigs is going through this [] right now. You want to know someone who really hates black women? Yeah, what about the guy who beat the [] out of one and dragged her through the [__] hotel room? What about the guy who's being accused of trafficking them from around the country? Like, what about the guy being accused of drugging? Your energy could be spent much more wisely—much more wisely—than on the people who laughed at a joke.

Yeah, yeah, much more wisely. But again, it's not about helping; it's about self—about feeling power. How can I feel power? You can feel power with Diddy. The feds already got him. Yeah, so you need something else.

So, you think Diddy makes it through this trial or what? This feels very Epstein-like because they got the tapes, they got the records. There's a lot of people nervous right now.

Probably.

Stop! You said a lot of people. Name somebody that's not Jay-Z because that's the first person we've all been told it is. Jay-Z is not going to Diddy's freak-off, bro. I don't think Jay's going to. Jay—didn't there was that story that Jay wore a condom to get head from Superhead? Yeah, that discipline does not allow you to be at a baby or freak-off from.

Yeah, yeah, like there's no—that motherfucker Jay is disciplined. I believe it. I just want you to throw a name out there.

Oh, I don't know anybody that's in these freak-offs. I'm just saying there are a lot of people—they say they have a lot of—what was it? Did they say the—

=> 01:36:10

When the feds come for you, it's not a matter of if, but when.

Epstein is a significant figure in this discussion because they got the tapes and they got the records. As a result, there are a lot of people nervous right now. When asked to name someone involved, the conversation quickly turned to Jay-Z, but it was noted that that's the first person we've all been told it is. However, it was suggested that Jay-Z is not going to freak off, as he is known for his discipline. The speaker referenced a story where Jay wore a condom to get head from Superhead, emphasizing that that discipline does not allow you to be at a baby or freak off.

The speaker expressed uncertainty about naming anyone else involved, stating, I don't know anybody that's in these freak offs. They mentioned that they say they have a lot of footage, implying that there is significant evidence against certain individuals. It was noted how bizarre it is that somebody is getting paid with our tax dollars to watch that. The idea that their job for the next three months is to watch Diddy engage in intimate acts with video vixens, both male and female, was highlighted as a reflection of the crazy country we live in.

The conversation shifted to Diddy's legal troubles, with speculation that Diddy thinks he can beat this. His lawyer had indicated that he was supposed to turn himself in the following day, but he was taken into custody earlier than expected. The speaker pondered what might have changed to prompt the early arrest, suggesting that he just pulled up and was ready to face the situation. They acknowledged that if the feds are after you, good luck, indicating the seriousness of the situation for Diddy.

In discussing the legal system, the speaker referenced a recent story about a man who died on a boat in the Mediterranean after being sued by the federal government and winning. They mentioned that the feds believe that you did the [__] up thing, you're going down, noting the 95% conviction rate that the federal government has. The implication was clear: if the feds want you, they're going to get you.

The conversation also touched on the case of Frank Parlato, a journalist who exposed the cult Nexium. He faced legal threats from the group but ultimately took them down, which changed the precedent for sex trafficking in New York. The speaker noted that grand juries are super malleable from prosecution, and the saying goes that a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich. They explained that in a grand jury, the prosecution leads the closing statements, which can significantly influence the outcome of cases.

=> 01:39:55

The legal system can twist good intentions into criminal charges, turning innocent connections into potential indictments.

In New York, there has been significant discussion surrounding trafficking, particularly in light of the recent indictment of a man named Reneir on sex trafficking charges. Interestingly, Reneir expressed regret regarding his situation. He mentioned that the grand jury system is notably malleable, allowing for a wide range of outcomes based on prosecution strategies. The old adage suggests that a grand jury can "indict a ham sandwich," highlighting the ease with which indictments can be obtained.

To clarify, a grand jury is a selection of peers, but it is heavily influenced by the prosecution, which often comprises the best prosecutors. During the proceedings, the prosecution leads the closing statements, followed by the defense, and then the prosecution has the final word. This structure gives the prosecution a significant advantage, as the last thing the jurors hear is from the prosecution, which can heavily influence their decision. Notably, a majority vote is sufficient for an indictment, rather than a unanimous decision.

This system appears to be designed to facilitate convictions, which are crucial for district attorneys (DAs). Convictions help maintain the integrity of the judicial system, as repeated hung juries can be costly in terms of time and resources. According to individuals familiar with the system, there is a perception that these grand juries can be manipulated to achieve desired outcomes.

Reneir pointed out that the sex trafficking laws in New York have evolved to the extent that even seemingly innocuous actions can be construed as trafficking. For example, if one man introduces a woman to another man, and they engage in consensual sex, any form of gratitude expressed by the second man—such as buying a drink or sending a text message thanking the introducer—could potentially be classified as sex trafficking. This interpretation has been influenced by precedents set in high-profile cases, such as the Nexium scandal.

This shift in legal interpretation raises concerns for individuals who might simply be acting as wingmen. In scenarios where a person facilitates a connection between two others, they could inadvertently find themselves implicated in trafficking laws. The laws were ostensibly created to protect women, but they can be exploited in cases that are not inherently criminal. For instance, a man who connects his friend with a woman might later face charges if the woman’s situation is scrutinized under these laws.

Furthermore, if someone is already facing legal troubles, such as tax fraud, additional charges can be piled on, complicating their situation even further. This is reminiscent of RICO laws, which expand to include anyone involved in criminal activities related to business or commercial entities. The broad application of these laws means that individuals who may not be directly involved in trafficking can still find themselves ensnared in legal issues due to the precedents established by previous cases.

In conclusion, the evolving landscape of sex trafficking laws in New York presents significant challenges and risks for individuals who engage in social networking or matchmaking, as they may unknowingly become targets of legal action. As I continue to explore these topics, I look forward to sharing more insights with you all.

Discovering the joy of Indian Instagram content is a game changer; it's pure, hilarious creativity that never fails to entertain.

Indicted, and you have a bunch of tax fraud, and they can also throw this on and pile it on. That’s kind of like the RICO thing. It's like, hey, if you did anything criminal involving a business or commercial entity in any capacity, like now you're on RICO. They expand these things to get these mob guys, but then there are other people that can fall under it, and they're not going to peel it back. You can even just have precedent, so you don't necessarily need to do the law. You could just be like, "Oh, in this case, this happens, so therefore in future cases, this other thing will happen the same way."

Now, we’re back. Listen, I've discovered a couple of things this week on the internet that I'd like to share with you guys. You know I'm not a gatekeeper, but I must say, my obsession with Indian Instagram is absolutely incredible. It's not TikTok, because TikTok is not allowed there, but Indian Instagram is just amazing. I suggest that you watch a couple of videos, like them, and just let the algorithm do its thing. My Instagram is so beautifully curated to only see Indian people doing absolutely hilarious things. It doesn't matter what they do; it's hilarious. There’s a guy who just cuts watermelons, opens them, and screams. This is my man; I love this guy.

Now, can we go to some of the other ones? Can I go to the mud thing? The mud thing was absolutely exceptional. I don't want to believe the mud thing; obviously, it's like a fun little instance. Does anybody know what this is? It's just little kids playing around. You know, they are 25 years old. These are full-grown adults, and he has the Indian flag behind him. I almost feel like this is like a Pakistani trying to... it might be. Yeah, like, why would you...? What is he doing? He loves that.

He's going; he can't breathe. Oh, now I can breathe! You think it's from Pakistan? I think it's from Pakistan. I mean, look at him burying that face in that mud. Oh man, and then the back handspring mud dive is crazy! Guys, give me one of these real quick. Yo, that looks fun, doesn’t it? I think it's Pakistan, bro. I think you gotta blame Pakistan for this; I really do.

Okay, give us more. I mean, I promise there is. It's actually heartbreaking knowing that I'll never create anything funnier than just a random Indian guy with his phone because it is unbelievable. Oh, they did not find a little crack. Oh yeah, dude, I think they made a little crack. Oh no, oh no, he’s stuck! There’s so much of this; we gotta get our friend out of that crack.

Oh, what is this? I'm telling you, dude, it is the best! Shout out India, shout out the content creators on Instagram Reels. You have given me so much joy over the past week. This one is clearly set up to try to get views, which is almost worse. That's what's so funny; all of it is kind of set up in this way. It's so good. Keep going, keep going, keep going.

I mean, I sent so many to the group chat, but in case you didn’t know where to focus, they put the arrow. I mean, it is very Bollywood-inspired, which is actually kind of fire. You’ll see a ton of them where it’s like, “My girl left me and got with another guy, but then I got money.” Then he walks by with a chain, and the girl’s like, “What did I do?” Yeah, it’s fire! I like them; there’s some production value.

I think we just gotta thank the Ambanis for this because they gave everyone self-service. True, wait, did they do that? Yeah, that was one of the Ambani brothers. I think Muk is the one whose wedding it was. So we have them to thank. Yo, shout out the Ambanis, man! What you’ve done, the joy you’ve given me over the last seven days, it’s unprecedented.

I need you to click immediately on... I’ve sent like 30 of these to the group chat, and nobody responds to a single one, and I keep on sending. Oh, we gotta send people to Grandy’s new page. Oh yeah, yeah! So, Grandy’s new page is Grand Davius (g r a n d a v i o u s). Go follow it immediately! I need every one of y’all to go out there and support Grandy; this is the funniest Instagram account on the internet.

Yes, Mark, you found another one. This one was good! Oh my God, this one was really good. The Indian ones are good, but then the Jewish ones are also pretty good. There’s a lot of anti-Semitism on the internet, but sometimes they get the joke right, and it...

=> 01:47:46

Support your friends and lift them up, because the internet is better when we all shine together.

Over the last seven days, it's been unprecedented. I need you to click immediately on what I've sent; I've sent like 30 of these to the group chat, but nobody responds to a single one, and I keep on sending. Oh, we got to send people to Grandy's new page!

Oh yeah, yeah, so Gr Wizard—that word we can't say—has got his page blocked from Instagram. He has come back with a vengeance! His new Instagram page is Grand Davius (g r a n d a v i o u s). Go follow it immediately! I need every one of y'all to go out there and support Grandy. This is the funniest Instagram account on the internet!

Yes, Mark, you found another one. This one was good! Oh my God, this one was really good. The Indian ones are good, but then the Jewish ones are also pretty good. There's a lot of anti-Semitism on the internet, but sometimes they get the joke right. Can you feel about that one? Go right here—can you make it bigger?

Jewish piano—yeah, one, my fa, we car too. Guys, do you really love a good Jewish joke? Thank you! See, anti-Semite, right? Yeah, you are an anti-Semite for that.

Wait, can we talk about the Super Bowl controversy? We never even spoke about that. I thought we did. Kendrick? I don't know if we did. We didn't talk about Kendrick. Do you think he did this just to troll Drake and Cole? Because in "First Person Shooter," they keep saying they're as big as a Super Bowl, and then he's like, "You know what? I'll just do the Super Bowl."

I mean, it's just such a tricky thing. I don't know if he did it to troll him, but I definitely think he did it to troll him when he said, "There's no round two." That was a clear shot! But are you sure we didn't talk about this? Maybe we did; I can't remember. We didn't, because the biggest nail in the coffin would be if Drake brings out Wayne or if Kendrick brings out Wayne at the Super Bowl.

Yeah, it's a rep. It is over! I think that's also part of his thing because he probably could have done this before. I do think there's a reason he put his hat in this year for his name, or I don't know if that's how it works, but he's open to it this year, whereas I don't think he would have been before.

Also, I think if Wayne got it and brought out Drake, that would have helped out Drake a lot, and he was like, "Let's squash that; let's get out in front of that." If he can bring Wayne out, that's big! I mean, yeah, just the best move. Kendrick's had the biggest year; it was either Kendrick or Taylor.

Yeah, yeah, two biggest artists. Shocked Taylor didn't do it! Yeah, Taylor doesn't need to, but I mean, if she did, it'd be nuts. Now, I will say this: I don't know if Taylor serves the football-watching audience. I would argue she's already serving the football-watching audience just by being at the Chiefs games. If the Chiefs make the Super Bowl, it would be crazy!

But what I'm saying is, I don't know if the average football fan listens to Taylor, while the average football fan definitely has heard this Kendrick song. I also think her PR team—Taylor's team—is like, "You perform in the Super Bowl; it's going to be a lot of negative PR." Tons of negative! They're already hating on you for having like two minutes and cutaways during a game.

You do the halftime, but I feel like the Super Bowl has more non-football fans watching than actual football fans. Also, apparently, Jay-Z chooses this, and I could see him just... it's been rap or, like, Black acts, I guess, since he took over. I think he probably was going to choose Kendrick over Taylor.

I feel like it's so stupid for people to be complaining, like, "Yo, we have a rapper performing at the Super Bowl; be happy!" It's like, it's never enough with you guys, doesn't it kind of feel like that for me?

Dude, also, I found a legendary... this is like an OG amazing. I never got this. You've said this; I think I've seen this one. Have I showed you this like 10 times? You were like, "This is the funniest thing." I never got it, and I think now I feel bad. Now, I'm scared this is a horrible example of Indian Instagram, and I don't want anybody to judge Indian Instagram by this.

Baby, I want cool drink. "No, baby, it's not good for health." Okay, NOA, break up, break up, break up, break up, break up, break up, break up, break up! Oh, he's got a plan. What? Oh my God, oh my God, you have my father's number? Don't call my father, mother, baby, break up, just King, I love you, baby, not I want only.

=> 01:52:02

The funniest content on the planet is coming out of India, and it's not even close.

The conversation begins with a sense of nostalgia and confusion. One person expresses, "like an OG amazing I I never got this." They recall having seen something multiple times, stating, "have I showed you this like 10 times?" Despite the repeated viewings, they admit, "I never got it," and now feel a sense of regret. They express concern about the representation of Indian Instagram, saying, "this is a horrible example of Indian Instagram," and they hope that no one judges it based on this particular instance.

The discussion shifts to a humorous exchange about a video involving a breakup scenario. One participant exclaims, "oh he's got a plan," revealing that they have someone's father's number. The reaction is one of shock, "oh my God, you have my father number," followed by a plea not to call their father. The conversation continues with playful banter, "baby I did for the B," and laughter about the absurdity of the video, which includes an amusing accent. They reminisce about how one of them sent the video years ago, saying, "Mark sent me that he's like this is the funniest thing."

They also mention a memorable Zoom call where a teacher struggles to maintain order among students. The humor in that situation is highlighted, as one participant wishes they could find the video, stating, "I wish I can find it." They joke about pranking the father of one of the participants, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation, "let him know his triing ass daughter is getting cold drinks."

The conversation then transitions to a discussion about food in India. One person admits, "I cannot... there are places that will make that same food with bottled of water," indicating a cautious approach to street food. They share a humorous anecdote about witnessing someone cutting meat with their big toenail, leading to a playful exchange about the situation.

As they continue to share laughs, one person mentions a video link they sent, stating, "I send you the link in the flagrant CH." They express their belief that "the funniest content on planet Earth right now coming out of India," is unmatched. The conversation culminates in a shared desire to experience this humor in person, with one participant insisting, "we got to go to India man immediately."

Overall, the dialogue captures a blend of humor, nostalgia, and cultural commentary, with a strong emphasis on the comedic aspects of Indian social media and everyday life.

The funniest content on the internet right now is coming straight out of India, and it's not even close.

After he's here, I'll kill him. You speak to me after the session; the session gets over, okay? And no, no, s—please. Please, b h, does your dad on that [__] kills me? The funniest content on planet Earth right now is coming out of India, and it's not even close. It's not even close. It's not even close! The pause always kills me. How much is your D? She's begging him to stop; he's quiet. And what is that? What a call back!

It's just some Zoom—I don't know how they put it out there—there was some Zoom class, probably during COVID, where teachers were teaching over Zoom, and they had to do a group project. Then they're just trying to mediate this issue. Yeah, that was great. I mean, we just need to watch. We got to go; we got to meet these guys.

Oh, I already have all the people that I want to hang out with. I want to do watermelon guy. There's another guy that's like incredibly skinny; he's kind of weird, but he does a lot of content that's really good. I need to go into the mud diving guys and connect with them. I'm going to put a list of them together. I mean, I sent it to the group chat, but none of you guys respond because you're all pieces of [__]. So, I always want to go find my good ones just so that you guys can enjoy and indulge in this.

Guys, what else is going on in the world today? Oh, I saw Beetlejuice. Oh, I heard it was fire! I saw a film. Have you seen the first one? I did see the first one. Okay, how is it? I've heard this is really good. It is good; it is good. You missed Vegas for Beetlejuice—worth it? [__] Why do you need the sphere when you have the rectangle? Have you thought about that? When you have a rectangle, you always need a circle. This guy's always doing too much; he's always chasing too much, you know what I mean? Why can't you just be happy with the theater?

He's the reason theaters are dying. It's like you put yourself in athle—I was just sitting there. Why would you go see Beetlejuice? Did you see that movie as a child? I saw it as a tween. Oh, so you've seen it? Yeah, I saw the original. It's a fantastic movie. Please give us your—as I send you this one to the group—please give us your thoughts. You guys still are too—I haven't seen the new one. I want to show—I haven't seen it, but I did hear an interesting thing about it. I heard that Michael Keaton is only in it for like between five or 15 minutes total.

Yeah, but it's also only a 90-minute movie. So, like, yeah, he's in it probably like—I would say probably 15. He apparently said that he wouldn't be in it any longer than he was in the first movie. Ah, H! So the whole thing, I think, with the first movie was the fear of Beetlejuice: don't say it three times or else he's going to show up, right? And what's interesting is the revisionist history we have on that movie. Very, very similar to Independence Day, where the way I remember that movie is that he was the star of the movie, and he was in it the entire time.

I thought so too! He's in it for 5, 10, 15 minutes tops. Get the [__] out of here! Yeah, but he's so unique, interesting, and charismatic that you think the whole movie is him. Also, the title helps. Yeah, what's that? Hannibal Lecter has this—yeah, Hannibal Lecter is another one. But, Independence Day with Will Smith? I thought he was the protagonist of the movie.

Yeah, you know, Will is so [__] charming. Yeah, I guess he's one of three. He is the SE plot. That's wild! I mean, if you even just ask me now, I'd be like, "Yeah, he's in the whole movie." But that's how unbelievably charismatic the character is—like, unbelievable! When you said 5 to 15 minutes, then I was like, "Wait, was he in it a bunch the first time?" And I guess not. It's an Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder movie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the girl who's in—no, no, yeah, Gina Davis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're the big stars. He's barely in it, but he's so weird, unique, and funny. It's really fun! I would recommend going to see it. No, I heard the plot is nothing like the first one. Yeah, I mean, there's a ton of homages and threads that tie through to the first one. It's really fun, and I think they kind of got into this place where they had like three or four great sequel ideas and plots for the sequel. Instead of picking one or two, they kind of did all four, blended them, and so the pacing is a little fast.

But it's extremely engaging and so fun! The whole time I was just like, "This is the fun!" I'm having a blast. Oh really? I'm so glad I'm not in Vegas! Literally, I was watching. I'm so glad I'm not meeting Shaquille. This would suck! Is the man—I just want to say, yeah, he's [__] awesome. And also, when you go to a Shaq show, it is the perception of like a quote...

=> 02:00:10

Authenticity shines brightest when people are secure in who they are, just like Shaq and 50 Cent embracing their true selves without the need for pretense.

I would recommend going to see it. No, I heard the plot is nothing like the first one. Yeah, I mean, it's like there's a ton of homages and threads that tie through to the first one. It's really fun, and I think they kind of got into this place where they had like three or four great sequel ideas and plots for the sequel. Instead of picking one or two, they kind of did all four and blended them. So, the pacing is a little fast, but it's extremely engaging and so fun. The whole time, I was just like, "This is the fun I'm having!"

Oh really? I'm so glad I'm not in Vegas. Earlier, I was watching, and I'm so glad I'm not meeting Shaquille. This would suck! I just want to say, yeah, he's awesome. Also, when you go to a Shaq show, the perception of a quote-unquote celebrity DJ is that they're just going to play like the hits, and it's just going to be easy. What it is, is hard dubstep. I love it!

Really? Oh, it is the cage shakers! How would you know, Shaq? He wasn't there. You're mean, dude! He Wikipedia'd it. Yeah, they have on Wikipedia that it's hard dubstep. It is just intense pounding. I've heard that he's actually into DJing; he loves it! Yes, and like people ask him about basketball, and he's like, "Oh, whatever," but then they ask him about music, and he's like, "Oh, let's go! I'm locked in!"

Exactly! And shout out to P1 Paddle; we played both days we were there. 100% and 90°! As for the box office, again, or what? Dove box office day one? Andrew came back, well, day two, but yeah, they did good. They did good.

Oh wow! Have you not taken it seriously? Have you been focusing on stand-up in your career? No, this is my singular focus. But continuing on top of just Shaq, we followed up with a nice visit with 50 and his guys. We went to see 50 and Tonyo. They're both great! Tonyo is just hilarious. The F50 and Tony ship is just hilarious!

Tony's just like a wild boy. He'll be saying funny stuff. We got to get him on stage for like one minute doing stand-up. Yeah, and then 50 is teasing him about the wild things that Tony says. There's like meme culture built into it; they're also aware of it. Remember when 50 is like, "Why you got to say that about me?"

At one point, Tony says it after something 50 said to him. So, you're witnessing these guys who are also aware of what's going on but have clearly been friends for decades. They do this without any of the pretense of needing to be cool. I'm a rapper; I can only be cool. It's people who are comfortable with themselves, and it's refreshing to see. You've been around some famous people who feel like they need to uphold whatever the image of them is and what people think of them.

From what I get from them is, "I know what I think of me, so I don’t give a damn, and I'm just going to be who I want." It's funny you saw Shaq and 50 the same night. I think they're both like that. I think Shaq is like, "I like rave music; I'm just going to go for it." Yeah, it's insane!

You know what's crazy about this? That was just night one! Just night one! Damn, dude, that was just night one! No big deal. In the morning, we went to—you called her an Uber—what? Poy steak? Oh yeah, we did the whole call Uber thing.

What did you have, a show? What night? That was Friday. Okay, yeah, that was great. We have Fountain Blue. Yo, shout out to Fountain Blue! Fountain Blue is about to—you heard? That's the building out there. Fountain Blue is going to put the pressure on the Wynn.

For the last, I don't know how many years—five, six, seven years—the Wynn has been the decade. I don't know what the casino's like; I didn't go to the casino, but just as the hotel, the Wynn has been the one. It's like elegant; it's elevated; it's nice, whatever.

And Fountain Blue? Crazy story to end up getting built, but it is the best hotel in Vegas. Yeah, it's the most expensive building in Vegas. I heard it's one of the most expensive in the world. It is insane! But when it comes to restaurants, vibe, and party, you're in it. You're just like, "Oh, this is the one!"

It's going to be really interesting to see what happens because now the Wynn, which hasn't had to do anything for the last seven years, they got to pivot. Because the last thing you want to do is start to feel a little older, and I think Fountain Blue is going to do that. I think Fountain Blue is going to age the clientele and the Wynn up. Because I think the young people are going to be like, "Well, I want to go to...

=> 02:04:06

In Vegas, the vibe is everything; it's not just about the casino, it's about the experience that attracts the crowd you want to be around.

The conversation begins with a casual remark, "whatever," and quickly transitions to discussing a blue crazy story about a hotel in Las Vegas. The speaker notes that it is the best hotel in Vegas and also the most expensive building in Vegas, claiming it is one of the most expensive in the world. The atmosphere in the hotel is described as insane, especially when it comes to the restaurants, vibe, and party scene, leading to the conclusion that this is the one to visit.

The speaker expresses curiosity about the future of the Wynn, which has not had to adapt for the last seven years. They suggest that the Wynn now needs to pivot to avoid feeling outdated. They believe that F Blue will attract a younger clientele, as young people are likely to prefer venues like Poppy St in Miami or Live. The speaker reflects on their realization that when a local brand wants to expand, Vegas is almost always the first choice. They mention that if there is a great restaurant in cities like New York, LA, or Miami, it is only a matter of time before it arrives in Vegas.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of the places chosen for expansion, as they cultivate both personnel and clientele for the casino. They argue that the atmosphere is crucial because it sets a precedent for who visits the casino. For example, when someone goes to an older hotel like Circus Circus, they may feel that the vibe is not what they desire at that moment. The speaker mentions Dave Grutman, who manages several restaurants in Miami, and how he has successfully created a vibrant atmosphere around Vibe and party.

The conversation continues with a discussion about the different vibes at various venues in Vegas. If someone wants to party in a younger, more fun environment, they should go to F Blue. Conversely, if they prefer a more mature atmosphere, they should opt for the Wynn, which is described as older and Asian. The Wynn aims to attract wealthy Asian clientele for gambling, while F Blue is associated with a younger and more lively crowd. The speaker highlights John Summit, a popular DJ, noting that he is a genuinely nice person who might need protection due to his kindness.

The speaker shares their experiences in Vegas, mentioning that they have attended various shows and events. They recommend staying at F Blue for a fun experience, while for gambling, the Wynn is the better choice. The conversation then shifts to a light-hearted discussion about identifying who is Indian based on accents. They playfully engage in a game where they try to guess each other's backgrounds, emphasizing the unique way certain phrases are used, such as "I grew up in India only."
