What's up, everybody?
Welcome to Flagrant.
We got a big announcement, as you saw in the title and probably the thumbnail.
There's a big announcement, and we could all just tell you right now, okay?
But instead, we made a different video to tell you.
It's still me telling you.
It's just different lighting, and there's probably some music and stuff.
I mean, look, we got a lot of people
on staff here and
we got
to find things for them to do.
Can we just play the video? Yeah, this is losing steam.
I feel like it's losing steam.
I feel like we should try to draw this out as long
as possible. Guys, it's a huge announcement.
Do you guys have anything you'd
like to announce before we get to the huge announcement?
I'm going to play the video Does anybody have any announcements
There's a big
Announcement coming guys
But prior to that
Miles
Any milestones
In your life you'd like to share
Milestones
Play the video
Okay I'm just saying before that Dove is there anything that you would also like to announce?
This is an announcement time.
I had a date the other night.
No, stop it.
Play the video.
Just play the video.
Toronto, the last time I was on stage in your city, I made a promise.
Some of you probably remember it.
You see, I've been coming up to Toronto to do shows
for a decade now. I remember the first show I ever headlined there. It was for 100 people in a great
little comedy club on Bloor Street called Comedy Bar. And every time I came back up, a few more
people came out, and we went from doing comedy clubs to movie houses to music halls to these
majestic theaters. And even when that pussy-ass venue canceled my show
because some of my jokes were offensive,
we switched venues and you guys came out in droves
and that meant a lot to me.
I assume that's because despite the venues getting fancier,
there is one thing that has always remained the same,
and that is that everyone gets these jokes.
You know when you walk in the venue, everything is fair game.
Now, for the last 10 years, every time I came up to Toronto, there was one venue that I would walk by.
And I would look at this venue, and I would say to myself, one day, one day, I'm going to fucking earn that.
And I'm going to put on the craziest show this city has ever seen.
And the last time I was on stage in Toronto,
I made a promise.
I just really appreciate you always supporting me.
Next time we're here, we gotta do this shit where the Raptors play.
I'll tell you that much.
That's
September 30th, the Scotiabank Arena.
I'll see you where the Raptors play.
Hey!
Okay.
Rate the cringe factor.
How were we?
Where were we?
One to ten on the cringe factor.
The only cringy thing is I almost cried watching it.
That's the only cringy thing.
You're very funny.
That is fucking dope, dude.
That's gross.
That's my y'all.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm a cry, bro.
Look how you're dressed calling me gay.
How fucking dare you?
How dare you not cry dressed like that?
This is the best part.
I can't believe it.
You remember what happened yesterday?
We were supposed to record.
Alex dressed like all three Golden Girls.
Bro, Alex had his outfit on yesterday.
We were supposed to record.
We did Patreon.
And then he was like
Dude I can't waste this outfit
On Patreon
He found it in the back room
Oh
Cause he said
I don't want to waste the fit
On Patreon
Son I look too good
No no no
I think
Yeah I understood that
I understood that
You respect that
Yeah yeah
Sometimes
He's just a hater
Sometimes you put on a fire fit
And you're like
Not enough people saw this
Exactly
Not enough people saw this. Exactly.
Not enough people saw this.
Run it back.
I didn't run it back, but he did run it back.
No, but he didn't wear it on Patreon.
I'm not you with only three shirts.
Hold on, hold on.
That outfit was too good for Patreon?
Yes!
Yes!
That's what I'm saying.
So he dressed like a bushwag girl.
So Patreon's getting the B-sides?
Yes.
It was still kind of fire, though. Bro, you found it in a Bushman girl. So Patriot's getting the B-sides? Yes. It was still kind of fire, though.
Bro, you found it in a lunch clap cabinet.
I mean, I got some fire shit in here just laying around.
It was overalls.
I found a diamond in the rough, bro.
Anywho, Toronto.
Hey, congrats on Scotiabank.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Toronto, very excited for this.
This is going to be crazy, man.
I'm very excited.

That's crazy.
I mean, that's an arena, bro. Yeah, yeah. cool. That's the first arena. That's crazy. I mean, that's, how do you, an arena, bro?
Yeah, yeah.
There's only two I care to do.
It was Toronto, Scotiabank,
and obviously-
Why Toronto?
Toronto's been like
the city that's held me down.
Yeah.
Like New York.
Yeah, they do.
For me, it's like,
it's, yeah,
since the beginning,
to be honest.
It was like the first,
I think the first theater
I ever did was in Toronto.
Yeah.
And I've just been going there
for so long,
and people have been coming out
for so long.
Like, brilliant Idiots fans
from back in the day,
they would show so much love
when I came out there.
You know what's cool, too,
is Toronto's got such
cucky policies.
Yeah.
It's great that the fans
are still flagrant.
Yeah.
I mean, the city policies
are mad cucky.
Bro.
The fans still fuck
with the flagrant.
The last Toronto show, I think that was
their first live show
since the pandemic.
We did those three shows there
and it was crazy. People were finally
coming out. The six were fired up.
Do you remember? All the security was all
the six, all the Punjabis.
I thought you were saying the six.
Is that why they all moved there?
I was wondering about that.
It actually makes a lot of sense when you say it.
But they were all the security.
And I was like, why?
And it was the warrior thing.
Yeah.
And they were like, yeah, well, that's what we do.
Yeah, it is what we do.
We added trucking.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I've always, I don't know, every time I went there, I was like, yo, I got to do this, man.
And it was just so cool. The opportunity came. And, yeah, I've always, I don't know, every time I went there, I was like, yo, I got to do this, man. And it was just so cool.
Opportunity came, and yeah, I'm really excited for it.
Really excited for it.
And now we got to just make this show a spectacle, you know?
Which you will.
Yeah, we got to do it.
Not even fucking question.
We got to do it.
We got to do it.
We got to do it.
That's the thing when you do an arena.
It's like, or when you get into these bigger spaces, how do you fill that fucking space?
Yeah, but you've been thinking on that level since comedy clubs.
Yeah.
So I have no doubt.
Yeah.
We got some ideas.
You can top Taylor Swift.
I don't know about that one, bro.
I don't know about that one.
You can top Taylor Swift.
I don't know about that one.
She's single now.
Oh, yeah.
Wait.
I'm asking you.
I can't tell.
I bought her.
I think she wears the pants
in a relationship. How tied to the fact that uh her boyfriend was
making real quick for you move on don't move on you're doing a fucking arena but i do need to ask
you this if pre-sales on sale tomorrow are they annoyed that you're announcing this right now yeah
we had a whole agreement positive there's a massive whoever you're working with was like hey announce on wednesday yeah we had a whole agreement and I'm positive. There's a massive, whoever you're working with, was like, hey, announce on Wednesday.
Yeah, we had a whole agreement.
And they were like, you have to announce on Wednesday.
And I was like, got it.
Yeah, look at my email feed right now.
Not good.
He's up.
This guy loves y'all, Flaygren.
This motherfucker loves y'all.
Yeah, it was a fun call.
And there's a press release going out at 6 a.m. Wednesday.
And I was like, got it.
No one's going to know until 6 a.m. Wednesday. And I was like, got it. No one's going to know until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
You said pre-sale goes on sale tomorrow.
And I was like, what?
Yeah.
Oh.
That's weird.
I didn't really pick up that that's weird.
What they didn't know is that our podcast comes out on Tuesdays.
So that's when it's announced.
What do you want me to do?
Not announce it on the podcast?
They can't tell you anything, bro.
No way. They can't tell you anything, bro.
They can't even tell you about your own shows.
Or else you're going to tell everyone before it's time to tell them.
You've got to keep it a secret from me.
Wednesday, I've got to find out. Yeah, you've got to find out on Instagram.
Oh, shit, I'm doing social media?
If you were an NBA player, you would have to get found out you traded from TMZ or whatever the fuck.
ESPN.
100%.
I'd be the jet dude that showed up to the facility and his code didn't work.
Yeah.
That's foul, bro.
And they had the camera waiting for you.
Nobody even talks about that.
There was a dude they hired.
It was Jamal Adams, right?
Yeah, Jamal Adams, I think.
But there was a dude just waiting.
You know he was pulling up like, this is kind of odd.
Yeah.
Why is there a camera waiting at the door for one specific shot?
Why is he smiling so big? But if you got traded,
let's say you played for the Raptors and they traded you, you would
for sure call your own press conference and be
like, yo, you're not supposed to know this. I'm getting
traded tomorrow. Oh, I'd be salty
on Twitter for sure. Oh, 100%.
I would be salty on Twitter for sure.
Actually, once I found out... You would have a whole video.
Bro, once I found out that I
was getting traded,
I would say, i demand a trade so you know it's like breaking up with a girl before she break up with you you know even though she you know she's gonna actually do it so i demand a trade
to whatever team i was gonna go to i would say i demand a trade yeah i'm going to orlando
that's it yep my dream you are you know mean? You got to let the kids play, whatever.
That's what, yes, 100%.
Shout out Toronto.
So yeah, I'm excited.
We got to, yeah, we got to get some folks out, man.
We got to get Drake doing standup.
Oh.
I love that.
Wouldn't that be kind of fun?
He would actually be good at it too.
He is.
He's good at everything.
He is shockingly good.
I saw him do some roast of Nike execs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you guys see that?
Yeah, yeah.
And he did a thing that is very rare for people who don't know how to do stand-up or who have
never done it before.
Usually when they do it, they're very needy on the laugh.
They're really delivering the punchline.
They're super telegraphing it.
And he did a thing that usually people who haven't done it before don't do, and he kind of almost threw away the punchline. They're like super telegraphing it. And he did a thing that usually people who haven't done it before
don't do, and he kind of like almost
threw away the punchlines.
So he wasn't like screaming
for the energy back from the crowd.
I was like, alright, that's kind of good. But that would be kind of wild.
Yeah. I mean, you saw him when he hosted the
ESPYs. Oh, yeah, it was good.
And even the sketches he did with
DeMar DeRozan, speaking of Raptors back then.
I mean, the guy's fucking funny.
He just is.
Low-key, the ESPYs have really good writing or hosts.
Because John Cena killed that shit, too, I think.
Our boys wrote for it.
Yasser Lester and his brother wrote for it.
Oh, really?
But yeah, they wrote for them.
Oh, that's fire.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's fire.
Drake probably watches.
Yeah.
I saw he caught on to the wave, you know.
He caught on to the waves.
Al is never going to shut up about the nails, bro.
I'm just saying.
He's in album mode.
I'm the boy.
I'm the boy, bro.
I'm the boy, bro.
Nah, but he's watching.
So, Drake, yeah, come out.
Do some jokes, bro.
Okay, so you think the nails are the new thing right now?
I mean, it is.
They are the new thing, but Al acting like he started it, which annoys me.
I found Mark.
I'm super ticked.
Remember Mark did this shit during pandemic and we shamed him out of it?
Wait, you did nails?
Yeah, he did painted nails during pandemic and we shamed the fuck out of him.
He was with his niece or something like that.
Now I'm with my niece.
Now it's excuses.
He was gay before.
He was gay when he did it before.
But now you went to change you out of it and you stopped. Like, that's excuses. He was gay before. He was gay when he did it before. But now you went to New York.
We shamed you out of it and you stopped.
Oh, I like that.
That's it.
Too flimsy.
No, I leveled up.
I leveled up.
You still doing that though?
No.
Real talk.
I did that shit in the 90s.
Wait, when did I go to college?
Is that the 90s?
Everything in the 90s to me now.
Back in the day is the 90s.
When was I in college?
2002 to 2006.
2002.
It's almost the 90s. You know what's crazy?
The 90s was 30 years ago.
When people say 30 years ago, don't you
think like 60s, 70s? Ooh, damn, bro.
That shit hit my chest.
30 years ago? 30 years ago.
About time I did this fucking arena.
How long have I been in this goddamn
career, bro? Holy shit.
Nah, 30 years ago.
We're living in our fifth decade oh whoa yeah that's

No, same. You old, bro.
Ow, ow.
You too old to be painting nails.
Come on, son.
Son, the painting nails shit is cool, but you too old for that shit, bro.
Son, Drake's older than me.
Even?
Drake's older than me.
But now I got to stop it, because now everybody's off on a wave.
Now it's too popular, bro.
Yeah, I know.
Damn, bro.
I got to set a new trend.
What's the new one?
Sucking dick? Nah, huh? Yeah, bro. I got to set a new trend. What's the new one? Sucking dick?
Nah, you got that one first.
You all can bid on that one.
Yeah, you can't dick ride, man.
Look, look, look.
If it's not...
That was nice of you.
Listen, what'd I do right there?
What if it's not the nails, what would it be?
I don't know.
I got to figure it out.
Okay.
You got to figure it out.
You got to figure it out, bro.
How long did it take you to figure out the nails?
I know it's not the cut.
Because I know that was only your idea.
How do you figure it out?
What's the secret?
How do you figure out the nails?
The nails was me.
But how did you figure it out?
Was it a dream?
No, you know, I just winked it.
Off the cuff out.
I hate you so much.
I hate this so much, dude.
I hate it. I really do.
Once the haircut catches on, you know you're gonna take
credit for that shit.
He took credit for a guy that didn't
get the haircut.
We haven't seen this haircut since 1941.
So that was funny.
Wesley Snipes had it in Blade.
Yeah, Wesley did kill it, actually, in Blade.
And everybody loved that shit.
I think the 90s are really coming back.
Was that the 90s?
What?
What?
What was the 90s?
No, it was Demolition Man.
Everything's the 90s.
What was it, Blade?
Nah, Blade.
Demolition Man, he was blonde.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nah, but Blade, he had that exact cut.
Yeah, I saw Luca.
I got gassed up.
Luca put a picture on his story of him getting his fade.
But the barber set the line for the fade first, and he posted the picture.
And it looked like it was just my cut.
And I was like, they riding my cut And I was like They riding
I texted group
I texted multiple group chats
I was like yeah where's your jokes now
When the greatest white NBA player ever

to make that cut uh listen speaking of this haircut kanye has been out and about with his
girl i feel bad for his mannequin wife whatever it's just like every morning they wake up and
he's like okay i'm gonna turn you into a flashlight and you're just gonna walk around
la with this and then people are going to take pictures of us
and that's what we're going to do today.
Yeah, dog.
Right?
I don't feel bad for her.
Why not?
She signed up for that.
We saw the previous one.
What was the other one?
White chick.
Kim?
Oh, Fox.
Julia Fox.
Yeah.
Like, he blew her up.
People actually cared about what she was doing during that time.
After they split. It is a career come up. Slow and cared about what she was doing during that time. After they split, it's a little dry.
It is a career come up.
I never knew her name before this.
You saw her getting flirted with at the mall?
Bro, getting rizzed out of control.
That video was fire.
Bro, I called my girl, and I said, watch this, tell me what you think of this.
Like, I was like, yo, you need to, like like would you behave in this manner and what was the
consensus she was like no this is crazy uh good like this is a married woman cheesed out of her
mind her whole face is just wrinkled up she's so happy that this guy's talking to her and then we
don't even know if he got the number or not nah she told him she's like no i'm sorry i'm married
and then the video cut she probably sucked his dick right there.
She might have, dude.
No, dude, it was crazy.
She can't suck his dick through that thing.
That's why she put her in a dog cone.
It's like a dog collar you keep from... Put her in a dog cone and be like, hey, stop sucking everyone's dick, dude.
They both got to cock back the foreskin.
Dude.
What about his t-shirt?
I love Jews, bro.
Dove was like.
I thought it was Italian.
It's German?
German.
I was like, he's still on his racist shit.
I was like, why?
Why?
But Dove can do that with Kanye.
Hold on.
Because Kanye's got a history.
A very recent history.
Hold on.
He's not looking for it.
Why?
I'm not looking for it.
Why?
I just saw it and I was like, oh, it looks like an Italian thing.
Yeah, but Kanye probably did that shit on purpose.
Can you say what we're saying they about?
Yeah, Kanye's shirt says police or whatever, which is German police.
That's the German word for police.
That's what they wear in Germany.
So it was a lot of countries in Europe.
Did the Nazis turn into police?
Was there police and Nazis?
Yeah.
So there was the SS and then there was just police.
Yeah, but it was like
the brown shirts became the party
and then became, I don't know.
There was Gestapo.
There was SS.
SS were the worst.
Probably Gestapo too.
Maybe the police were good.
Yeah, maybe they were good guys.
Maybe there were some good
Jew-loving police in Germany.
We don't know.
Maybe they didn't do
the Jew-hating is what he's saying.
Maybe that was maybe they knew and Frank was up there.
They didn't do shit about it the entire time.
So maybe he's maybe he's turned a new leaf.
Maybe this is this is Jew positive Kanye.
Actually not really because if it is for skin around her, he's like really driving.
He's like, I love for skin for skin is the best thing ever.
Here's my German shirt.
My German dick.
And why are shoulder pads racist?
This shit is going to catch on, bro.
Oh, God.
The shoulder pad thing?
You non-shoulder having motherfuckers.
This shit is going to catch on.
I don't know.
Why is that racist to have shoulder pads, though?
Is that part of it?
Or is it just the Germans?
What's racist about this?
This could be the current police. Why that police?
Why that police?
It's not Nazi Germany anymore.
Oh yeah, are all Germans Nazis too?
If he was just wearing a German flag, would that be...
No, but you're also not allowed to wear a swastika
in Europe.
That's not a swastika.
I don't know. Germans never do anything good.
That's what I'm saying.
Listen to Beethoven. What is it called. Can Germans never do anything good? Listen to Beethoven, do you not?
Once, what is it called?
That thing that happened in Germany?
The Holocaust. Did that happen? No.
No, no, no.
Once World War II, obviously Holocaust happened.
Is everything after that Germans
are bad? Forever?
There's got to be a good... You worked in Germany.
You lived in Germany.
The Germans.
See? You lived in Germany? you lived in Germany. The Germans. Love them. See?
You lived in Germany?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's wild.
Dove is Mossad, low key.
Yes, dude. I think this entire time, like every time I see Dove a little bit stressed and I'm like,
I have to remember, he's also an international spy.
Yeah.
So he's managing all of this while also finding a way to like keep down.
All right, all right.
It is Earth. Those who shall not be named.
I fuck with it.
You like it.
Wear it.
Go.
Wear it.
Do it.
It's growing on me.
Do it.
Wear it.
No, the shoulder pads,
not the polizier.
I mean, the whole look.
What are the police supposed to wear in Germany?
But that's like
riot gear police.
Like, what's he doing?
Hmm.
I mean, he's, what is it called?
Dog whistling?
Yeah.
Is that the term?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't.
Yes, I can.
You can't call anybody gay.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
If you're of the culture, you can call me that.
There you go.
Oh, if you are gay, you can call.
So you meant it as a compliment.
Yeah.
Oh.
Very good. Fair enough. Come you meant it as a compliment. Very gay.
Fair enough.
Come on, you're very close.
This, I don't know if this is gay.
Very close.
Nah, son, you look like a greaser.
Yeah, I'm a greaser.
If he was at Pride Parade, you don't think that would fit?
That outfit fits.
If he's on one of the floats.
I think if I take this off and I go like full Freddie Mercury.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Then it's this.
But just this.
I'm just like a fucking stud.
What are you doing?
The mustache and the slick is always going to be this.
Super hot, sexy guy.
Yeah, I get it.
The girls just want to fucking throw it all the time.

That was cute. That was cute. I was going. He was excited, too. I was cute.
I was cute.
I was going to snitch on myself.
No, wait.
Where did you go?
I was going to snitch on myself.
A fucking Instagram ad got me, bro.
No!
Yeah.
You can't be wearing Instagram clothes, bro.
What did they look like in the ad?
Just like this.
No way.
No way.
No way.
No way.
Come on, Mark.
No way.
Stop.
I bought stuff off Instagram ads, and it does not look like what I thought I bought.
So you bought something new that looks like it's secondhand?
Yeah.
Like, seriously?
Like, that's what you did?
Yeah.
There's a whole market for it.
Why ain't all Mark's flannels, son?
Yeah.
He loves his flannels. I know. He's so upset that Derek Poston only wears flannel, son? Yeah. He loves his flannel.
I know.
He's so upset that Derek Poston only wears flannels on the road.
Yes.
Because now Mark has no clothes left to wear.
That's why he got co-headlighted.
Yes.
Flannel boys.
Flannel boys.
Yo, flannel boys, bro.
Honestly, it's a movement.
Okay.
What else we got?
We got aliens confirmed.

Oh, let's go to The Idol.
Yeah, let's talk about The Idol.
Let me tell you something about The Idol.
What is this show?
Shout out to The Idol.
New HBO show from Sam Levinson.
Sam Levinson is the guy who wrote Euphoria.
It's absolutely fantastic.
It's produced and starring Johnny Depp's daughter
Lily Rose Depp
and The Weeknd
bunch of other famous actors in it as well
it's about this young
music
pop star artist
named Jocelyn
and she's just come off a mental breakdown
or something, she's about to put out a new
album, whatever
or new song, whatever,
or new song, new sale come out. Anyway, the plot of the first episode.
First of all, before we even get to the plot, I get a text. The thing comes on at like nine o'clock. At nine and 30 seconds, Vala is already texting me, son, Lily Rose Depp?
Crazy.
I'm like, what's going on?
I don't get to see until 11 o'clock.
Bro, the opening scene.
No, bro.
Bro.
Yeah, yeah.
You shouldn't be able to be that skinny and that heavy at the same time, bro.
It's like an optical illusion, bro.
It's an optical illusion.
It's an optical illusion, dude.
It's nice.
She's so skinny, but she's so heavy.
It's an optical illusion, bro.
It's an optical illusion, bro.
Like, I'm looking at her, how skinny she is, but she's so heavy as fuck.
It's an optical illusion.
Bro, it's an optical illusion, though.
Those motherfuckers sound like Dr. Ubald, right?
Bro, it's an optical illusion,
and I need some donations.
Dude, I didn't know what to think.
I'd never heard of this girl until Vala yesterday. Vala spread the word, bro. So I didn't know what to think. I'd never heard of this girl until Vala yesterday.
Vala spread the word, bro.
So I didn't hear about her.
Vala's like, yo, this girl, she's the one.
And I'm like, who the fuck?
She's the one.
I'm like, who is this?
I've never heard of her.
He pulled her up.
Pictures on Google don't do justice.
Yo, they're regular shmegular on Google.
No disrespect, Lily Rose.
No, all disrespect. Whoa, bro. Yo, they're regular shmegular on Google. No disrespect, Lily Rose. No, all disrespect.
Whoa, bro.
We got to big up right now.
We're going to objectify this girl.
Come on, we're celebrating.
They don't do her.
Yeah, disrespect to the photographers.
To the photographers.
True, true, true.
Catch her angles, bro.
Bro.
And the angle is all of them.
Straight on and to the side.
Bro, there is a moment where you see her nipples.
Son, this is going to sound crazy to say.
Son, we might have to.
I really did think I was in Chimp Empire for a second when I was watching the show.
I put my knuckles on the bed.
My girl was like, what's going on?
I was like, don't worry about it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I started grabbing branches, throwing them all over.
Hey.
Bro, the nipples.
Nah, they ain't that nice.
Wait, but how'd you watch this with just shorty though? What like I got a
That's the nipple right there, bro
That to be cgr
That to be CGI. That had to be CGI. That had to be CGI.
That had to be CGI.
That had to be CGI.
That's so funny.
Hey!
No.
That's fine.
You got to just find the scene.
Go to the scene. I'm trying to find it.
I don't get it.
Because you see?
It's an optical illusion.
They made that heavy there.
It might be CGI. It's an optical illusion. How've got heaviness. It's an optical illusion.
How do you just get heavier?
It might be angles of CGI or something.
We're looking at pictures right now.
I need to put this on my lap, bro.
If we're going to watch that scene, I need to put this pillow on my lap.
How'd they get heavier with nothing else getting heavier?
No, no, but she has body.
No, she don't.
When she's dancing outside?
For Al, no.
For you, yeah.
For you?
No.
Stop.
I'm used to the wagon.
That's what I'm talking about.
You know what I'm saying?
Hulk's game.
Hulk's game.
Come on.
Dumpers.
We do dumpers over here.
Come on, sir.
For LA, for Beverly Hills, LA, where you were born and raised, I see why you think that that is body.
But we're still off the nipples.
She got two crickets coming out.
Look at them crickets.
Look at them crickets, bro.
Oh, my God, bro.
Chimpanzee time.
It's chimpanzee time.
Come on, bro. Look at the profile of that nipple look at that extension
she got a little
chode
come on bro
wow
that's an optical illusion
that's an optical illusion
that has to be an optical illusion Al
Al that would
that would shoot straight through your shirt.
That would shoot straight through.
There's no question.
Your blouse would be shredded.
Your blouse is dust.
Dude, this is with all due respect.
She just hangs her shirts up behind her.
With all due respect.
With all due respect to Johnny Depp.
With all due respect to, I can't even watch anymore.
Is that a gif?
It's the gif that keeps on gif anymore. Is that a gif? It is the gif.
Is that a gif right there?
What does gif stand for?
Shit.
I'm not saying it.
Wow.
There you go.
Yes, sir.
Oh, my goodness.
God damn.
Okay, so.
What?
Oh, so he has said it's the new Sidney Sweeney.
Oh.
But just less heavy.
And I was like, then it's nothing.
Then it is nothing.
Until I saw the show.
I saw the show.
I saw the Sidney Sweeney trying to act.
And then that movie came on after. until I saw the show. Shout out to Sidney Sweeney trying to act. He's done.
And then that movie came on after
and I was like,
oh, she's done.
No, she's done.
They're trying to get her
out of here.
They're trying to get her
out of here.
Don't let them do it to you,
Sidney Sweeney.
You are milk queen number one.
You are milk queen number one.
But guys,
stop being sexist over here.
You're right.
That's my bad.
Y'all really tapped out
of this conversation
like we all not married.
I'm done dragged me
into a single guy conversation.
I'm done dragged you into it.
You done dragged me into it.
You started it.
Dude, it's an optical illusion.
I'm not even here, man.
I was about to lick your nipples.
This an optical illusion.
Shit.
Fuck.
God damn.
Dude.
But isn't the show
that the girl gets cummed on?
Don't give some smart fucking... Oh, no, that wasn't smart.
She got cummed on in the show.
Okay, yeah, this is the plot of the show.
The plot of the show is she gets cummed on in her face and took a selfie of it, and that goes viral.
That's the plot for the first episode.
And they show the picture of her getting cummed on.
Yo, Sam Levinson is the wildest motherfucker.
Wild boy.
Holy shit.
Come on, son.
It's great.
What's going on?
Like, at what point is it just porn?
If she's covered in cum
and is on the TV
and you're watching it alone.
That's real life shit.
What do you mean?
At what part?
About 35 seconds in
is that what part
when my fucking blanket
was hopping up and down
left and right.
That's what part?
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me, Mark?
I asked my girl,
I was like,
what'd you do this year?
She was like,
oh, I watched The Idol.
Yeah, she watched it
with my wife.
Yeah, why?
Well, because I told my girl
about it in the morning
and she managed
within five minutes
to completely ruin
Lily-Rose Depp for me.
What did she say?
I was like, wow,
I just watched The Idol.
She's a very beautiful girl,
Sydney Sweeney. Why would you even do this? Bro, what'd you think was going to happen, I just watched the idols. You're a very beautiful girl, Sidney Sweeney.
Why would you even do this?
Bro.
What did you think was going to happen?
I know.
Why are you snitching on yourself, yo?
Maybe I didn't even say that.
I probably said it another way.
I was like, yeah, there's a dairy factory over at HBO.
Sidney Sweeney and Lily Rose Depp.
And I'm feeling lactose intolerant.
Okay, I just pulled my neck.
I'm from the 90s.
There's another actress
that's going to make an appearance.
Don't do it to us.
Should we wait until next week?
We don't want to see that now.
Yeah, we do. What is her name?
Sophie Mudd.
That's a fire name. Let's go, baby.
Wait, what's that? Sophie Mudd.
I mean, that's a fire name.
Let's go, baby.
He's like, what am I dapping right now?
What am I dapping?
Bro.
Wait, pull that up.
I knew it.
I was dapping.
You had to give it up.
Pull that up.
There we go.
Oh, my God.
Listen, this is with all due respect here.
Honestly, what we're talking about right now, we're talking about.
No, no.
Okay.
Can I just clarify what we're talking about right now?
We're talking about her parents.
We're not even talking about her.
Her parents came together to create this.
Holy shit.
That's what I'm saying.
What's happening?
Can I take your order?
Can I get this?
My painted nails.
Can we get your order? Can I get my painted nails? Can we get some credit?
No, this is, what is going on exactly?
What's happening even?
So she'll be in five eps.
She's on creative of the show.
He's a revolutionary.
Yo, Sam Levinson.
Sam Levinson need a high five.
Sam Levinson needs a high five.
He needs a different hand, though.
Lefty, you gotta go lefty, because my right is sore.
It's like Sam Levinson and
Martin Luther King, just like right
here.
Martin Luther King, Martin Luther
Cream.
Like, holy shit.
God damn.
Now he knows good TV.
Why'd we get away from it? That's what I'm saying good TV. Why we get away from it?
That's what I'm saying.
Why we ever get away from it?
God damn.
He's a 90s boy.
Son, can I be objective here?
Oh, I'm in trouble.
Please.
Hurry up and get there.
Oh, shit.
These young bitches got fat fucking tits.
I mean, Jesus Christ.
It is just, I think it's the vaccine, bro.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Titties like this wasn't out in the 1990s.
It wasn't out in the 2019, 2020 to 2023.
Post-pandemic titties, bro.
It's that banana bread they were eating.
It's the vaccine. It's the booster.
Thank Fauci for them shits, boy.
Yo, Fauci? Exonerated.
Fauci's been exonerated.
There we go.
Holy moly. Just trying to get everybody's
more calcium and vitamin D in this world.
We need it.
You got Johnson and Johnson.
Can I be honest with you? What do they say is the number one
thing that protects you from COVID?
Vitamin D.
Vitamin D.
Double D.
Jesus Christ.
All right, listen.
Oh, she's going to steal the show.
But this is all due respect to her family to put this together.
That breeding put this together.
I don't know.
How do you grow your own titties out?
No, no, no. I mean, yes. Son do you grow your own titties out? No, no, no.
I mean, yes.
Son, you can't admire a building without admiring the architect.
There's something in the face.
It looks.
Al, Al, we doing neck down today.
Okay, okay.
What am I doing?
What am I doing?
What am I doing?
With all due respect.
With all due respect.
This is just with all due respect.
I was like, the work.
I don't know about the work.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I'm sure incredibly talented, but with all due respect.
She looked like a young Kate Moss face.
Think of young Kate Moss and then think of her face.
They look almost like-
What did Kate Moss not have?
She had that heroin chic look, but she did not have-
The vaccines.
She didn't have them vaccines.
She didn't have that.
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay, but you know how we can look at a tall person?
We can be like, oh my God, they're so tall.
That's how we should be able to look at these physical specimens, these unique physical specimens.
We have to be able to admire an incredibly skinny girl with huge fat fucking dumpster fire tips.
We have to be able to.
Just like on the street,
like an old lady's like,
oh, you're so tall.
Do you play basketball?
Yes.
Big Carap gets that all the time.
Hodor gets that all the time.
Hodor gets it all the time.
Every time I'm taller than you.
Do you play basketball?
He goes, no, I edit videos
where I have costumes.
Yeah, exactly.
Right?
So what should other people
be able to say about this?
No, I'm not saying
that we should be able
to go up to him
and just fucking brewskim.
That's not what we should be able to do. I don't think we should touch them. I don't think we should. But to go up to him and just fucking brewskim that's not what we should
be able to do i don't think we should touch them i don't think but to be able to talk about a skinny
girl that for whatever god-given reason has just a super retarded fucking tits on her tits
i mean that is just so unique that we must be able to talk about it.
We have to reflect on it.
We would be inauthentic if we weren't talking about them.
We're just appreciating God right now.
What do you think of the show?
Like the writing?
Honestly, honestly?
Why not?
Okay, he didn't get to it.
No, I did, I did, i did listen the show who's seen
the show here i've seen you seen it of course no i haven't seen it what's it on brothers that's
why they don't know what's going on i don't see the vision i don't know you have to men of culture
listen i mean my girl describes me exactly how you described it and so i understand where she's
coming from yeah but i haven't seen it myself. I mean, the last scene, bro,
when he makes her Muslim,
when he makes her a Muslim bride. Do you remember that one?
Oh, my God.
I remember writing that shit back.
Oh, God. Shots at a weekend.
Yeah, yeah. Breathe, breathe.
Bro, there's a scene in it when she
masturbates while choking herself.
Yeah.
This is just porn.
It was artistic. It was very... This is just porn. No, it was artistic. Why is it not just porn?
It was artistic.
It was artistic.
Yeah, it was artistic.
Yeah.
Music is beautiful.
Shot, yeah, beautifully.
Beautiful, beautifully.
Yeah.
It was shot beautifully.
Yeah, you probably got
a couple beautiful shots on it.
It's real life shit.
You don't choke yourself by...
Come on.
You don't do that?
That's not your Tuesday night.
Bro, but think about the dexterity
because a lot of people
can't rub their belly while they pat their head.
That's what I'm saying.
I would just stroke my neck off and then put pressure on my neck.
That's kind of what she was doing.
But she was really getting in there.
I wonder if they put a pad or something.
Because if they didn't put a pad, she would definitely enjoy that.
Method acting, Doug.
It might be method acting.
That's real acting.
I'm talking about Daniel Day-Lewis.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She does her own stunts, bro.
She really does. She really does. Okay. She's real acting. Daniel Day-Lewis. Yeah. Yeah. She does her own stunts, bro. She really does.
She really does.
Okay.
She's Tom Cruise.
Can we talk about the story?
I don't even know if we're there yet.
Are you okay?
I have to pee.
Do you really?
Yeah.
I have to pee.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll be back in about 90 seconds.
That's all I need.
Okay.
You go pee.
You go pee.
You go pee.
But we're going to keep talking. Oh, yeah. For sure. For sure. Because we can't stop. I have to I need. Okay, you go pee, you go pee, you go pee, but we're going to keep talking.
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Because we can't stop.
I have to jerk off.
What do you do?
Now we have,
I thought it's
an interesting perspective.
I think that,
I don't know what the rest
of the season is going to be,
but I called somebody
who will remain nameless
and I want to get their take
on the show.
And he had an interesting thing to say, because I think
that this is going to show the artist side, what it's like to be a young artist who has all these
handlers who maybe don't have your best interest at heart, they have their best interest at heart,
which is making money. And there was a cool line in the show where she's talking to the weekend and she basically said
i don't know maybe he says like why do you like me or something like that i don't know what it is
she he says why do you like i don't know but she says the line like she goes when you're famous
nobody tells you the truth and i thought you'd be enough of an asshole to be honest with me.
And in that moment, I thought there was a beautiful line. And I was like, oh,
is that why you see these pop stars dating bad boys? I thought, or religious figures.
Bieber had Carl Lentz, right? And you see a bunch of, what's it called?
Britney Spears had Kevin Federline, et cetera, right?
And I'm like, is it with religion, with God, you can trust the honesty?
Because you're like, a man of God isn't gonna lie to me.
Or is it with the bad boy?
You're like, they're just such an asshole.
They're gonna speak to me and behave in a way that maybe isn't nice, but it's reminiscent
of normalcy.
And I can actually trust, you being mean to me, I can trust that.
Nobody's fake mean to each other, right?
Like being fake mean to someone doesn't make sense because you can't get anything from them.
So you almost trust that meanness more.
So I asked a friend about that.
And he had an interesting perspective.
so i asked a friend about that and he had an interesting perspective he goes he goes i'm sure that's what the show will will show but um i don't think that's what it is i think that
these stars in order to be a a star he's this is not everybody but most of these stars are
unbelievable narcissists and dating the bad boys or even
being with the religious figures is an act of rebellion. It's still rebellion to those people
who are handling them. And it flames out once the love bombing stops because the only thing
that they really care about is fulfilling their narcissism. He goes, it is possible.
I go, is it possible to not be that narcissist and still be successful? I understand why it's
an advantage, but it's kind of gross and I've spoken to these people and there has to be another
way to do it. He goes, there is a version of it where talent can trump it. Ed Sheeran is so talented that he can also be a good guy.
Yeah.
Now, that's not to say that people don't have like, there's a spectrum of narcissism.
We all have some of it.
We want to get on stage in front of people.
We're recording this podcast.
We want to do these things.
Without narcissism, there's not a lot of incentive to do this.
100%.
But you can also be low enough on the scale where you can be a good person to
your friends and family and the whole world doesn't literally have to revolve around you
and what you need to get done. And that becomes very isolating, I can imagine. Now, I think we're
going to hear it all from the artist's perspective, but I thought that that perspective was really
interesting about famous people and about the relationships they get in and how the act of
rebellion is still serving the narcissism. And they get rid of that person that they're dating
the second that that narcissism can't serve. Maybe this is where we start talking about Taylor Swift,
right? It's like Taylor's 34 years old, every single boyfriend. It's this fucking machine that
she runs them through, a huge calamity. They also get famous for good or for bad. This thing with her current boyfriend she just broke up with, Matt Healy, who's, I guess, a lead singer of this band.
1975.
And he's also a fan of, like, comedy podcasts.
I think he was on Comptown.
Freeland Show, Comptown.
And he had some jokes, I guess, about I-Spice, okay?
All of a sudden, I-Spice comes out on Taylor's tour.
Now, granted, she is a huge artist right now, so that could have been already planned.
But it could have been a PR move to protect.
She comes out on Taylor's tour, and then a couple days later, Taylor breaks up with the 1975 guy.
Right?
Yeah.
Coincidence?
Yeah, when you put it like that, it don't seem like it.
I wonder if she even knows. I wonder if
Taylor's just in this
narcissism spin cycle
where it's like whatever feeds the beast,
whatever is necessary to feed the beast,
she will eat.
And the beast is building up and becoming
the most successful artist in history, and she's arguably there, one of them. And the beast is building up and becoming the most successful artist in
history. And she's arguably there, one of them, right? But I wonder if she can even tell the
difference. In the same way that Kardashian's dating people, it's like, I do like him.
Well, do I like him? I don't know. But I like the attention that I get from liking him and
dating him. And maybe that's the same feeling of me actually liking someone's personality
and enjoying their company.
And when you're feeling good,
you're not distinguishing
what's making you feel good.
Exactly.
That's a lot of analysis
to say what's making me
feel loved.
Do I really like this person?
Do I like the attention?
What is it that's actually serving?
Yeah, it's hard to discern
what it is,
especially if you have
a tumultuous childhood.
You'll yearn for the love
that your parents gave you
even if it wasn't good.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, explain that.
If your parents were cold to you, for some people,
they'll yearn for a cold love
from other people or from partners
because that's what their parents gave them.
That's what their love is.
And that's what they think that it is, and that's what feels good to them.
So again, I don't know what her childhood was,
but if she's
looking for spectacle and
attention through her relationships,
that might have been what it felt like with her parents
or something. And so she might not even be able to
discern because she's like, oh yeah, this is what my whole life has been. This is what
childhood is. This is what love is.
I actually, I think she might have
gotten into the pattern
of using
her dating life as a crush.
Creative inspiration. Yeah. So it's like, at this point, we've seen it happen creative inspiration yeah so it's like at this point we've seen it
happen so many times where it's like okay what's my new muse dude that is so fucking true you hear
about this a lot of time in like fashion with like designers having a muse right there's a model that
they really like a singer a person kanye right? So interesting muses, yeah. But basically, yeah, that's really interesting.
You get to a certain level of success, and she is at the top of it, right? I'm sure you guys
may have even felt like we get a little bit more comfortable. There's less things irritating you.
Like when we were in Miami, nothing was irritating me. It was hard to write jokes. Like life was just so good. I was just enjoying everything. Imagine that times a million
when you're Taylor Swift, you're fucking almost at a B, you can do whatever you want to do.
You know, the biggest tour in the world. What is the motivation to write? What is the motivation
to sing? What is the motivation to pour your heart out? Maybe that only comes in the form of these relationships and heartache.
So she's seeking it out to fill the beast that is this creative machine.
And maybe she doesn't even notice to give her some credit, because I do think she does it
intentionally. But maybe it just happens like your brain associates, oh, I date a guy,
I break up with a guy, I get more famous. It's all just good feelings. Like the breakup,
I just write a song about it. Everybody thinks I'm great and they're shitty,
and I get more famous and more love and more isolation.
And to defend her, I would say like, why can't she talk about her relationships?
Why can't she talk about her experiences?
We're comics.
Like we would talk about the things that go on in our lives 100%.
We're on a podcast talking about dating, talking about our wives, talking about all these things.
So it's not weird that she doesn't.
But just seeking out experiences and people
in order to do it.
That's where it feels.
I would also love the Taylor Swift song that's like,
I fucked up too.
I would love that song.
Hey, I made some mistakes too.
She's got a couple songs like that.
Oh, she does.
I'm the problem, it's me.
Kick Swifty.
Yeah.
That's self-aware.
Yeah.
I'm not familiar enough with the music.
I mean, I know that obviously the bangers, but I don't know the music enough to say if
she's completely self-aware about what's going on.
I also think it's very easy to criticize the people who are most successful.
So I want to make sure we're being fair.
Oh, she's for talent wise.
It's insane.
She's so talented.
And the tour is amazing.
Apparently, everybody who's gone to it has said it's insane. She's so talented. Unbelievable. And the tour is amazing, apparently. Everybody who's gone to it has said it's incredible. She's putting on a concert for
hours in these stadiums and entertaining. 40 songs is nuts.
Yeah. I just want to give one take. So the show, The Idol, how the girl is like,
your theory, she might be a narcissist and that's why she gets with these bad boys to push back
against, to rebel. Yeah. That's why she gets with these bad boys to push back against the team.
Yeah.
I think it could also possibly be,
you know how like people in authoritative roles,
they sometimes have like kinks that they want to be like shamed.
Like they'll go to a dominatrix or some shit like that.
And so I think somebody like real and Wolf of Wall Street.
Yeah.
So somebody in that role,
it's like they have all these just people around them,
all these people that are just nice and they want to hear it Wall Street. Yeah, so somebody in that role. It's like they have all these just people around them, all these people that are just nice and trying to make them.
They want to hear a no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just having one person that could be like,
tell me no once in a while.
So she's in such a power position.
Yeah.
That the lack of control or lack of power is what would turn her on.
Yeah, because think about that.
Like she choked herself, so it's like she's only getting off by having to cut off oxygen to her body just so she can get off.
And then he does a very similar thing to her.
Oh, wow.
But nobody in her life would ever do something like that to her.
Yeah.
So I think that might be what they-
Yo, dude, that's why I also think specifically young stars, it's so difficult because they
don't have the opportunity to build real friendships before they're famous.
Because if you can build real friendships before you're famous or on the way up, you
can have a level of honesty with people.
If you're famous at 14, you have friends, but nobody even knows what's going on at 14 years
old. You don't even know if you like each other. You just both like the fact that you make jokes
about the teacher in math class. There's not a lot of real connective tissue there.
So you don't have the opportunity to build those real friends. And then all the friends that you
make in your early adult years, you're like, do these people only like me because I'm successful?
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, man.
Man, you don't even know
who you are, really.
100%.
We all thought we knew
who we were at 19, 20, 21.
We had no fucking clue.
And we didn't have people
telling us who we are at 19, 20.
Oh, yeah.
We had the opportunity
to find it.
We just didn't.
Yeah.
You got your publicist
telling you you're this person.
You got your agent
telling you you're this person. Also, your agent telling you you're this person.
Also, all your friends are also famous.
And when you're 18 and not famous and you say some dumb shit, your friends can be like, shut the fuck up.
They will.
There, they're going to be like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Keep doing that.
And everybody's singularly focused on this one thing.
And each person is almost like a lily pad on your way there.
one thing and each person is almost like a lily pad on your way there. So it's like,
you don't know if that's a true friendship or if it's being around you as clout.
Yeah, the insecurity you must feel. I understand why a lot of them probably abuse drugs. It's just like to ease that anxiety. Every interaction, you're anxious. Everything you tell somebody,
you're like, oh my God, are they going to tell that to TMZ?
Imagine how many times
you get your heart broken
by the people you trust the most.
And you just have no trust for anybody.
That's also probably why it's hard
to make these relationships work.
Yeah.
Because just from,
you don't trust anybody?
Like how do you,
everything seems transactional.
Everybody seems like
they want something from me.
Why would I trust you to be different?
Just because you're famous too?
No, you're narcissists just like me.
You're probably getting some out of this just like me.
It's tough, dude.
It's not like they're such victims and it's a hard life, but that aspect, that ain't easy.
Bro, you can see why God is helpful.
If you're very religious, you know what I mean? Because you have someone you're very religious oh yeah you know what i mean because
you have someone who tells you no yeah right there's at least one person yeah who's like no
bad you're doing this wrong and you are told as a famous person by everybody on your team you're
the biggest person but god is if you're religious god is always exactly everything i do serves god
and then these guys everything they do serves me.
If I don't have God, whether it's people actually do that or not,
or religion gets applied, but the theory of God.
Comparing it to with God or without is what I'm saying.
If you knew your kid wanted to be famous, make him a Catholic or something.
Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, like
just give them something Hindu, but just like lock that in as well. So there's something that is
grounding for them. Like Rami is a great example. Rami is super religious. And if you talk to Rami,
you don't get the sense that he's like angling or narcissistic or any, he just so it's all serving
God. And there's this groundedness to him
that you really admire.
And that's a guy who does religion correctly, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, you're, ideally, you're imam, you're pastor,
you're, what is the Jewish ones?
What are they called?
You're rabbi.
Rabbi.
That's my dad.
No, no.
That's my dad.
The rabbi, like, ideally, like,
they don't care about your fame.
They're going to be impressed by your fame.
Don't get me wrong.
But not more than they're impressed by God's fame.
So it's like, not all of them.
People are flawed.
But if you have a good one that's like, listen, the biggest celebrity of my life is God.
Yeah.
It's cool that you do this thing and shit, but that's the biggest celebrity in my life.
Yeah.
My life is God.
Yeah.
It's cool that you do this thing and shit,
but that's the biggest celebrity in my life.
Yeah.
And so when you're acting wild,
he's going to sit you down and be like,
yo,
you know,
like,
let's,
is this the guy that you want to be?
Is this the person you want to be? Is this a girl that you want to be?
Yeah.
It's an advantage.
And that's probably why these guys seek out spiritual advisors.
Cause you need somebody.
And again,
people can misuse it.
A lot of these Scientology,
it's all these things that are're craving some sort of normalcy.
Somebody to sit you down and say, hey, man, are you serving something larger than yourself?
Because we all want to feel like we are.
Yo, sorry.
Speaking of Scientology, you heard my man was raping?
Yeah, hi, dude.
Yeah, Danny Masterson.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was method, bro.
My man was keeping his 70s, bro. He was keeping, bro. I mean, it was keeping his 70s, bro.
He was keeping his 70s.
He was super 70s.
Bro, that trial's been going on for 20 years, I feel.
They've been out there forever, bro.
They were out there so long, I'm like, yeah, he had to have been.
Yeah, it keeps going, right?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Apparently, they had insiders from Scientology testify at the trial or something like that, that basically were
saying how Scientology was trying to help cover up the story and silence the accusers or whatever.
Yo, that is great marketing for Scientology.
People act like it's bad, but it's great.
We will hold you down.
Think about it.
Think about-
Yeah, that's horrendous.
That's horrible.
That's horrendous.
Everybody already thinks Scientology people are the weirdest people on the planet, right?
Like, nobody is going, ah, they're just normal, like, religious folks.
I think you're only speaking from a man's point of view, to be honest, and I don't normally
criticize that.
But I don't think a woman is going to be like, yo, they be letting you rape in this moment.
I gotta get there.
But what if she's thinking, oh, if they'll defend a rapist, they'll defend me when I get a
D.Y. Yeah, but I might get raped
and then they're gonna cover up the rape.
I'm assuming
he didn't do that to
Scientology girls. I'm assuming
he did to whoever. I'm assuming this is
when he was a fuckboy in Hollywood running
around with, yeah.
So this is pre-Scientology, or
this is like,
I'm getting into Scientology,
but I'm still a fuck boy
and I'm still doing a party scene
because he was doing a party scene
with the Yo Mama with Fez or whatever.
Wilmer Valderrama.
Yeah, right?
And it's like-
Don't put that on Fez, bro.
Yeah, I don't know what Fez did.
No, but Fez did.
And again, I'm not saying
how it went down,
but Fez fucked everybody.
His list of celebs he fucked is crazy.
Really?
It's crazy.
Especially for where he was.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, Boomerhead game.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's fine.
The roster is bananas.
He ran it down on Howard Stern one time, and it's like, yo, this guy fucked everybody.
He had a nice run.
A successful Latin lover released on Hollywood.
Also, weirdly, before him, Scott Baio fucked everybody.
That's not weird at all.
Okay, I didn't get it. Heio fucked everybody. That's not weird at all. Okay, I didn't get it.
He was a stud.
That's Charles in Charge.
Put some respect.
Yeah, it was one of the greatest shows ever.
I liked Charles in Charge, right?
Charles of our days and our nights.
I don't remember the song, but...
Charles in Charge.
This guy?
And our nights.
This guy.
Yeah, handsome motherfucker. This guy fucked This guy. He's got
fucked everyone, dude. He looks like Bob
Saget's kid. Yeah, he does. Where does
lips go?
He got the man shoes right there.
It's too fucking cold in here, Doug. Can you please?
He got the man shoes, right?
You better start looking like
Lily Rose.
So I might show some
side titty on the next episode.
Do you think they just always
like that or before the scenes
they take some ice?
That's a lot of ice.
Can I be honest with you?
They used to be regular.
That was one of the things that
stopped her and me too, which is
wild they even had this.
But they stopped having girls ice
their titties before scenes.
That used to be before every scene, get your titties hard, director.
Every scene?
Every scene.
Of every movie?
Look at every scene where there's a- Schindler's List?
This movie?
Scarlet, look at every scene.
He's being method Hollywood right now, like old school Hollywood.
Every scene of every movie.
Every scene, obviously of movies where there's an attractive lead.
White t-shirt, hard nipples.
You can't find a soft nipple.
That's the Jennifer Aniston shit.
Jennifer Aniston.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Friends all the time.
Every single scene.
They know what they're doing.
It was getting in there.
Bing.
It was getting in there.
Dove, can you confirm?
Attest to this?
The director was like, yo, perk it up.
Yeah?
I mean, yeah.
So before intimacy coordinators,
it was whatever director,
whatever they said. Oh, that shit's a real thing,
that intimacy coordinator. It makes so much sense
to have it. I mean, it sounds crazy, but it's
like, oh, this is a pretty intense thing.
Can I tell you something?
People are going to fake fuck, yeah.
Real quick, there's a scene in it, right, where
she's,
according to her NDA,
she's not allowed to be nude. And this is in the idol.
Contract. Contract, yeah.
Clothes, a nudity cloth. They called her her nude rider.
Yeah, the nude rider. So she's not allowed to be like fully nude, you can say side titty or
whatever. And she wants to go nude. She's like, it's my body, I'm making the decision,
I wanna do it. And then the guy who was the-
Intimacy coordinator.
Intimacy coordinator goes, that's fine,
but it takes 48 hours for that decision to go through,
so we'd have to shoot later.
And at first, you're like, this is fucked up.
This is this girl's body.
Why can't she do what she wants with her body?
And then they explain it, which is,
we need to make sure you're not being coerced.
And I thought it was kind of
a cool look into it
because at first I was like,
yo, wow, there's this rule here
that is completely robbing
this woman of her agency,
but it's actually to protect
the girl from making a decision
while she's drunk
or all these other things.
So somebody's fucking,
these rules are good.
Yeah, I've seen that
on a set before
and the actor will be like,
they don't want to let that,
you know, just a sex scene that doesn't need to
be fully nude. They're like,
why does it need to be this?
Nobody asked me that shit.
Nobody asked me that shit for my gay scene.
Wait, there was no intimacy coordinator?
There was no intimacy coordinator.
He was pre-me too.
But also, he wanted it.
He did.
He was actually asking 48 hours yeah so fuck that
yo can we talk about this alien there's aliens every time we could we shouldn't have started
with the idol bro why because now you can't think about anything else. Deadpools, bro? Yeah, they're out of this world. Let's talk about the aliens, bro.
Yes, let's go.
This UFO guy?
He got nipples?
Yeah. Do you know about this?
No. So basically,
there's this guy that works high up. I forget exactly
which agency he worked in, but apparently
and I guess his credentials.
David Grush. Air Force veteran.
He's a former intelligence official and he was assigned to the UAP Task Force, which is the unidentified aerial-
Either aerial or anomalous.
Anomalous-
Phenomena.
Phenomena.
So it's a new term for UFOs, yeah.
And so basically, he's coming out, and he's petitioning Congress to, I have notes here, that's why I have my phone, but to reveal the evidence that they have that we have actual spacecraft from aliens.
We have wreckage and spacecraft that is, I guess, in its entirety.
And apparently also pilots.
Pilots, yeah.
Whoa.
That's the crazy part. That's fucking crazy. That's where it's like wild. It gets also pilots. Pilots, yeah. Whoa. That's the crazy part.
That's fucking crazy.
That's where it's like wild.
It gets very exciting.
You're very exciting, et cetera.
We all want to believe it or whatever.
But here's the thing that he admits.
He claims he has no proof.
Yep.
He has never seen it before.
No, no, sorry.
He claims he's never seen it.
He claims he has proof, but it's all hearsay from people who are involved with these agencies.
To me, this is a guy who's really into aliens.
He believes they're real.
He's dedicated his life to become part of the Air Force.
And now he's part of all these committees where he's thinking he's getting closer and
closer and closer.
And he just wants to know.
And then he heard some fucking rumor for some dude.
Oh, we got spacecraft and we got something weird.
Maybe it wasn't even spacecraft. It's just like, hey and we got something weird. Maybe it wasn't even spacecraft.
It's just like, hey, we got something weird.
I don't know what the hell it is,
but I've never heard of these materials before.
And I think he just flipped and went off the deep end
and his obsession made him go, I'm this close.
I just have to know.
I just have to know how this happens.
It was kind of just-
Why are we giving this guy any attention?
If you don't got no proof.
He said he has proof.
So then if he hasn't come out with it.
Yeah, why don't he come out? He's going to Congress with it because he is,
this is the thing where it gets a little goofy. He goes, sharing it would be a violation of,
what is it called? When you have a special access, what is that called?
A clearance violation. Yeah, it's a clearance violation. Shut the fuck up, bro.
You dry snitching.
But he gets a congressional pardon.
He's able to be protected as a whistleblower if he brings it up through Congress.
Whereas if he just leaks it, then he can go to prison.
Yeah.
Whatever, dog.
So my man wants to know.
So when Congress says no, then he just don't do it?
Yeah.
But also, what happened to the trust in the people that we hired to work for these agencies?
If you're part of the men in black, don't tell motherfuckers that you work for them.
That's part of the job.
You get to know about the aliens, or you get to know about what the top dudes say you can
know about, and then that's it.
Fall in line.
Why can't they just tell us about aliens, though?
There's no aliens.
Cuz we don't have a big enough thing yet.
Trump would have showed us.
That motherfucker, he's like Andrew with a fucking secret.
Maybe they didn't tell Trump. Yeah. would have showed us. That motherfucker, he's like Andrew with a fucking secret.
Maybe they didn't tell Trump.
Yeah.
You know why I think they can't tell us? Maybe David Gorsh knew it, but Trump didn't.
Think about that.
Fuck out of here.
I don't think the president knows everything.
I don't believe they tell the president everything.
I think they're also selective with who the president is.
Like, these guys aren't like, here's the protocol, the president gets to know everything.
Yeah, but anybody who didn't do anything Trump wanted, he fired him.
Got rid of Comey,
he's like, ah, you got to look. Isn't that what you do when you're the boss?
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but they can also just lie
to him. Yeah, but they could just lie to him and be like,
no, there's nothing. Yeah. We'll tell you
some stuff, but there's nothing there.
It's very easy to lie to somebody. What's the first
question you ask him when you're president?
Who kills JFK so I can know who's getting me?
Do you really want to know about that?
I do think it was Oswald, but I'm curious.
You think it was Oswald?
Yeah.
I don't care about that JFK shit, man.
You're so passionate about this.
That's not even my first question.
What's your first question?
Where are the aliens at?
You want to know aliens?
That's yours? Aliens would be far because that has so many geopolitical implications. It's like, my first question. That's not even my first question. What's your first question? Where are the aliens at? You want to know aliens? That's yours?
Aliens would be fired because that has so many geopolitical implications.
It's like, okay, shit.
Now we have spacecraft.
Are we using it?
What's going on?
Oh, no.
Al, what's your first question?
Where's Monica?
Great.
I was like, yo, where'd Bill get topped off?
Jesus.
Jesus.
He knows me.
Yeah.
Where'd that happen? I mean, the point is the question, will they actually tell you the truth, though? Yeah, where that happened. Is the question will they actually tell you the truth though?
Yeah, they'll tell you the truth.
They have to.
It's three wishes.
Hypothetically, yes.
It's three wishes.
You have three things.
They go listen, we'll tell you three things.
You ask three things, we'll tell you the answer.
And the answer might be no.
You might ask are there aliens?
They go, we don't know.
But that is the truth.
You have three things you can get the truth for.
What do you ask?
Who actually runs it?
Who's actually running this whole thing?
That's a good one.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Now, you have to be careful because you might learn some of these things by being president.
I imagine if you're president, you're going to interface with the people who are actually
running the country.
Yeah.
So don't waste one of your wishes on that.
But you get brought into the room immediately.
Three things you can know.
What about like what's the technology coming?
Like 15, 20 years.
They're wildly at it.
In 15, 20?
Or what do we have now that nobody knows about technological technology?
Yeah, in my mind, those are one and the same. Like what we have now that nobody knows about technological, technological. Yeah, in my mind, those are one and the same.
Like what we have now that nobody knows about is going to become technology that is available to people in 15, 20 years.
Okay, so you want to know what is our.
What's our most high tech shit that nobody knows about.
Okay.
Okay, that's fire.
That's fire.
Al, anything else?
No follow ups?
Come on.
It's the important thing.
Where Trump gets hopped off.
I would want to know JFK, who killed JFK.
Thank you.
I want to know the Epstein shit.
I'm interested in that.
I'm like, just explain the whole Epstein thing, who's connected.
Why was he doing it?
Yeah, break the whole thing down.
Break the whole thing down.
Yeah, that'd be good.
I just want to know it.
I just want to know.
It's annoying, It's right there.
How much does Alex Jones write about?
How about that?
That's a good question.
You see the island got sold? Epstein's Island?
Bro, this is crazy.
Some dude bought it for a couple mil.
Wild.
And bought it from who?
I guess it maybe got surrendered to the government or something.
I don't know how it worked. But he was able to buy it, and now he's trying to resort.
I mean, wasn't it not part of the U.S.?
That's crazy.
Yeah, I think it was the Virgin Islands.
Yeah, so who would they buy it?
Oh, no, it's not.
Not for long.
Yeah, I guess the Virgin Islands is a municipality of England or some shit.
I think.
It was British Virgin Islands and the U.S.
I think it was British.
I don't know.
Anyway, yeah, that's a wild i mean
whoever buys it they have to make sure there's nothing they before them the they's here have
to make sure that there's nothing left on that island like i'm sure we've had american soldiers
on the island right looking for all yeah i'm sure they sweep the entire the entire i mean
there's videos of just people going to it. I've seen a couple of those on
YouTube. They'll fly a drone over it and
just snoop around.
But I'd like to know that. That'd be cool.
That seems like the biggest conspiracy of
our generation. You're going to
know all the
kiddie fuckers.
You might be one right next to you.
I mean, oh.
Am I being powerful? If I'm fucking kids, that's not to you. I mean, oh. Am I being powerful or not?
If I'm fucking kids,
it's not on Epstein's Island, bro.
You gotta start somewhere.
It's the diocese.
Yeah, someone bought it for $60 million
and they want to make a resort out of it.
That's crazy.
You even, one article,
like, oh, where's the resort?
Oh, it's Epstein's Island,
but you know.
I have a question about that.
Like, how long,
how much time has to pass before we forget something awful happened in an area and we could put something fun
there yeah as soon as I can get a deal on it yeah exactly literally it was a huge right answer so
yeah I would but making a resort is crazy because so many people can make the judgment of it if it
was just your you got a deal you're flattening the house and redoing it and that's your island now?
If a woman got raped in the apartment before
you, but because that happened, you got a
discount on it. Are you not sleeping on it?
I'm not doing it.
But he would.
I'm not doing it. No broker fee?
I'm doing it immediately.
I'm not doing it. What happened there previously
doesn't matter. No, that shit is foul.
There's a bad energy in that place.
We're not a god in energy.
You're in America right now.
Yeah, we're all in Indian bones.
All the bad energy that goes on in.
That's what I'm saying.
A certain amount of time, we forget about what happened.
If it happened in my, I was thinking this.
If it happened, when you asked, if it happened in my lifetime, I'm not going to be cool with it.
My kids will probably be cool with it.
Their kids will for sure not give a fuck about Epstein's Island.
So it's the next generation.
We'll be like, yeah, it's not that big of a deal. And the generation after will absolutely
not give a fuck. Yeah.
No. I mean, this is
a horrible thing to say, but like,
on all those islands in the Caribbean, there was
absolutely disgusting
amounts of slavery.
You know what I mean? Like,
repulsive. I mean, I grew up in Texas, yeah.
Yeah.
And then all those places where there You know what I mean? Like repulsive. I mean, I grew up in Texas. Yeah. Yeah.
And then all those places where there were sugar cane plantations and just awful slavery are now resorts.
So there's a certain amount of time where you can put a resort over a tragedy.
Also, in the house is different.
Like living in a home that was a plantation and it's the same home, it just
feels... Yeah, you gotta move the
foundation somewhere else. You destroy that
house, you build something new, it's gonna feel
different. Can I tell y'all something? No, no, no.
A couple lines of paint. Yeah.
I could live in an apartment
where someone got murdered before me, but a house would be spooky.
But an apartment?
If someone got murdered in the apartment, I don't know.
Is it all the other apartments around you, maybe?
What do you mean?
You just feel a little bit.
There's like 100 apartments here.
This one happened to have one bad thing happen.
So if you're a ghost and you live in a co-op.
Yo, you're a broke ghost.
You are a broke ghost.
You loser. Come on, bro. What are you a broke ghost. You are a broke ghost. You loser.
Come on, bro.
What are you doing, man?
Get out of here.
They're in the same co-op you live in.
Yeah, but you could go through walls.
I've got to sleep somewhere.
Yeah, go live on an island.
Go find a house in Long Island.
Live.
Yeah, go to the Hamptons.
Why are you holding on to this project?
You're going to haunt the studio?
Isn't that what they say?
Ghosts are, we should ask Charlemagne.
Aren't ghosts confined to the area where the thing happened?
Yeah.
They be saying that shit.
Move on, yo.
This shit was never, you rented.
You can't even, yo, you can't be a ghost in an apartment you rent.
Yeah, you're on the lease for a little.
You were out of here.
You were out of here four years anyway.
Like, no, sorry.
If you got a mortgage, it's different.
If you're a ghost mortgage, then it's fine. If you own
the home, you could be a ghost. You're entitled to that.
But if you were renting... That's some white shit.
Hey, ghost, why don't you just go colonize a new house?
Yeah, I know.
You deserve it.
You got an evicted ghost, bro. Afterlife, you deserve it.
Go get yourself a home. I'm not living on that fucking Epstein Island,
though. Did they say what L.A. Comic bought it?
Or does that not...
It's not out there. I'm curious.
It's a Jewish billionaire. Of course he bought it or does that not it's not out there i just i'm curious swear to god do you think he bought it as like a cover-up or what financier steven dekhoff i'm
like really founder of black diamond he's the founder of what black diamond capital black it
just sounds evil yeah it just sounds so evil wow black is black? Yeah. Black rock capital.
That's why it's black rock is the evil one.
And black diamond is like just a bootleg version.
That's what I was thinking.
Oh, okay.
Also that.
All right. What else we got, my boys?
All right, guys, we're going to take a break real quick because you need a complete source of nutrition.
I'm not just talking about a multivitamin that leaves out all your superfoods.
I'm not just talking about a multivitamin that leaves out all your superfoods. I'm not just talking about a supplement that leaves all your vitamins.
You need one super supplement that does all of the above, and that's where AG1 comes in.
It has 75 high-quality vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced superfoods, probiotics,
and adaptogens to help you start your day right.
I'm going to tell you right now, I take it, and I swear to God, I shit better when I take it.
That's a fact. I'm not making right now, I take it, and I swear to God, I shit better when I take it. That's a fact.
I'm not making that up.
I take it.
I mix it with a little coconut water, a little bit of water.
Tastes fantastic.
I get little travel packs, bring them on the road.
I shit better.
There's prebiotics and probiotics.
Sustainable routines are the key for being healthy, and AG1 is a daily microhabit that

So now let's get back to the show. The Shannon Sharp leaving Skip is really interesting.
So Skip leaves first take with Stephen A.
Starts a show on FSN.
FS1.
FS1 or whatever.
Gets the bag, yeah.
Gets the bag.
Supposed to be no-name channel.
Nobody gives a fuck about.
Builds it up into viral sensation.
Yeah.
Finds an unbelievable talent in Shannon Sharp.
Shannon is memes.
Shannon is culture.
Shannon is, I mean, sayings.
His energy is infectious.
I mean, he's just incredible.
Shannon decides that he no longer wants to be part of the show.
Leaves.
Why do you guys think that he left?
I think Skip is insufferable after a certain point.
I think there's a lot of shit you'll put up with
because Skip will have the crazy take that you can bounce off of and you know how to play
with skip you'll elevate your profile but i think and again i have listened to skip since i was a
kid in dallas before he was famous he started on tiki wiki when i started he started like when
tiki wiki started none of those guys have really great experiences with skip overall right so i
just at a certain point you're like you know you know what? I don't need this.
Also, the ratings on the show weren't actually
good. Clips would go viral, but
the ratings on the show itself weren't that great.
So I think you're just like, I'll just go to the
mouse at ESPN. Oh, do you think
Shannon has offered something over
at the mouse? I think he can leverage
something good out of this. And he's like, I don't need
to put up with this anymore. I think it's got to be a money thing.
Yeah, I think for someone to leave, there's got to be money somewhere else
plus a hostile work environment.
For some reason for them to go and then some other way
to get the same or more money somewhere else.
I agree. But the combination of both.
I want my own thing.
I could probably get a bigger bag
someplace else. I built up
my name. People
tune into this show probably for me a little
bit more like you see my memes go crazy and he has his own podcast so he's really doing his
solo thing already yeah so yeah i think it's just a play for the next venture i think he probably
saw skip as a come up from the beginning he probably knew what he was getting into
and then he i think that's why he started doing Club Shay Shay, which is his podcast
early on. As he built his
thing, he started building for himself very quickly.
I'm sure people talked to him and he
talked to people and he was like, alright, this is what
this is. I know how to play with this guy. He'll say
some crazy shit. I'll have fun as me.
I'll use him. I'll raise my
profile and then I'm out.
And I think Skip might be salty because he's
used to using.
Is he used to using? I'm like,
I don't know. I think what Skip did was
unbelievable. He built it again.
Like, he built... First Take
hasn't been the same since Skip.
They going through different hosts.
It didn't work with Max. I think it's still the highest rated
show on ESPN. Regardless if it's rated, it's not
culturally relevant in the way it was with
Stephen A and Skip. We can all acknowledge that. Here's where I give some pushback. I don't
disagree with you or think you're wrong, but I think that generation still cares about ratings
because that's what drives their salaries. Being culturally relevant at ESPN, they haven't figured
out how to monetize that. So they're going off of who gives us ad dollars, ratings gives us ad
dollars. This show matters. Yeah, but one, I don't think the ratings are what they used to be.
They're not. Yeah, but that's TV.
Exactly. So what matters to me is the cultural relevance that you're going to get from
all the clips going viral on Instagram or Twitter or different accounts picking them up, etc.
To me, that's how I'm looking at a show being successful. And then they have to find other
ways to monetize that. But I'm like, okay, this is success. And the reality is like, Stephen A is a fucking superstar,
but he hasn't found that other person to bounce off of in the same way that he did.
Stephen A, one of the best qualities that he has is his ability to condescend hilariously.
He is awesome at condescending. And he had the perfect foil in Skip, a guy who is saying absolutely ludicrous takes.
And then this eloquent dude who is just condescending the shit out of him, right?
Tell him why he's wrong and bullying him.
And it was magic.
And they haven't been able to replicate it.
I mean, Max was too logical yeah steven
couldn't condescend it just came with like logical facts every single time and it's like
this isn't entertaining you're making a great argument i have to fucking agree yeah and if you
like it just didn't work some of the funniest clips is where people have cut up you see
skip arguing against himself oh yeah have you seen skip arguing aaron rogers against himself. Oh, yeah. Have you seen Skip arguing Aaron Rodgers against himself?
Yeah.
Oh, that's hilarious.
If you can pull it up, it's like, it's not, it's unbelievable.
But he's pure entertainment.
Like, that's the way I look at him.
It's like, he doesn't care about sports.
He cares.
He is an actor.
Yes.
And he's trying to say the funniest thing in the moment. I hope Stephen A and Sharp aren't behind the scenes planning to do a show together.
Because they won't.
Because I don't think it would work.
No.
They have too much respect for one another.
They kind of play the same role on the show.
Yeah.
So it's like, who's gonna be the Skip?
I mean, Stephen A needs someone he could be an asshole to.
Yeah.
And Skip provides you all the opportunities to be an asshole to him.
Yes.
He is an asshole.
So it's like, it was magic.
And yeah, everybody else that they've matched Stephen A with, Stephen A is just so interesting
that he's gonna be able to carry whatever the fuck he's on.
I have no question about that.
But in order to get that fucking
lightning rod that was
first take, I mean, you had to watch it.
This is when nobody was watching TV anymore.
Everyone still watched first take.
Are you watching first take now?
No, I wasn't watching first
take ever, but yeah. What?
You never watched first take?
Because I was like, they're both
just playing characters.
As great as Stephen A. is, he still, I don't think he believes everything he says.
I know Skip doesn't believe anything he says.
So for me, it was like, all right, well, I'll just walk to SportsCenter and see what's actually happening.
But I know I'm the exception because that was the highest rated show on ESPN.
So I'm not saying I'm right.
Now, what I will say is I do think Stephen and Shannon could make it work.
It won't be the same dynamic at all. I don't think so. But I think they're talented and smart enough to make it work. It won't be the same dynamic at all.
I don't think so.
But I think they're talented and smart enough to make it work.
I don't think so.
It'll be different, but I think it'll be good.
And also, I think Steven A, it's cool that he won't ever dog out Skip because what they did together.
But he says little things.
Even just him saying like, Steve, Skip came to me and begged me, let's do a show.
I need this.
We need this, whatever.
And then he had a message to Shannon on video.
He was like, Shannon hasn't told me why he left.
I have a pretty good idea.
I think I know.
I think Stephen A is taking little shots at skip.
Like he's acknowledging working with skip sucks.
Well, why do that after it's done?
Cause you got to say something.
Cause if you're in a shitty work environment and you never, at a certain point, you just, you say little things they come out it just happens ego unresolved tension unresolved tension
my guess more than ego but ego for sure he's steven a's great but he got an ego he'll tell you that
yeah so i think there's a little bit of that hmm yeah i hope that steven a and shannon don't do it
together i don't think that's the show i think think Stephen A needs a pompous guy to talk to.
Mm-hmm.
Who was that fat guy
that gave horrible takes
on one of the other channels?
That chubby black guy.
Fuck.
Oh.
Came to your show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Whitlock.
Yes.
Jason Whitlock.
Jason Whitlock.
Oh, I mean,
that would be nonstop.
That would be nonstop
between the two of them. That would be fireworks. I think Whitlock has Jason Whitlock. Slammed on that motherfucker all day. Oh, I mean, that would be nonstop. That would be nonstop between the two of them.
That would be fireworks.
I think Whitlock has just made himself so toxic with some of his takes.
Perfect.
I think ESPN probably couldn't hire him.
We can't do that.
But he would be so good.
But exactly that.
That type of person who's going to have incredibly strong opinions that Stephen A. could condescend to, and it would be masterful.
But you have to be strong in those.
I think there's a little bit that's happening that with Perk right now, with Kendrick Perkins.
They found a little bit of a dynamic right there where-
You see in the Reddick clip, JJ Reddick is trying to make a point.
Bro, it's amazing.
And you hear this heavy ass breathing.
JJ Reddick is on first take, okay?
Stephen A, JJ Reddick, and Kendrick Perkins are on first take.
Perk is not even on the screen. You just hear this breathing. J.J. Reddick is making
some really smart basketball point. He's amazing. And then he goes, stop midpoint. He goes,
Perkins, is that you breathing on the microphone? What is that? That's awful, dude.
Stephen A. comes in. He goes, yeah, are you dying over there? What the hell is that?
I mean, sports commentary kind of needs less facts.
Yes.
It's inherently a subjective thing.
You're debating people being good at sports.
It's inherently, there's some data, but it's really kind of subjective.
That's why it's fun, because there is no right or wrong.
And so I think it's almost better.
Who's the dude that was like, I'm taking Iguodala?
Who was it?
Oh, Max Kellerman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was the most illogical thing Max Kellerman has ever said in the history of his career.
And it's the funniest thing he's ever said. And it's viral. Yeah, it's like you almost want less facts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the most illogical thing Max Kellerman has ever said in the history of his career. And it's the funniest thing he's ever said.
And it's viral.
Yeah, it's like you almost want less facts when it comes to sports commentary.
If we really want to call it what it is, that's why Skip's the GOAT.
No, no, no, listen.
Shut up.
Stephen A is the greatest in terms of journalism.
Skip is the greatest in terms of creating an entertaining show.
Because he did it again.
He recreated first take with a guy that we all knew Shannon Sharp, but we didn't know him as a broadcaster.
And another superstar emerges.
Yeah, but Stephen A kept it bubbling even once that guy left.
Yeah, because nobody watches Undisputed.
Every clip I watch from Undisputed that goes viral that I remember is Shannon.
It's Shannon doing the thing.
But Shannon needs, what I'm trying to say is he's the kingmaker.
Shannon needs somebody to react to.
What we like about Shannon is the passion.
What we like about Shannon is the excitement, right?
And he's finding a way to get that out of him.
You gotta give him credit,
man. You can't do it twice.
I mean, maybe the greatest
B-Mike. Great, call him a B-Mike.
But again, he's creating the show,
right? He created First Take.
Didn't he say, I want
Stephen A. Smith? No, I thought
Stephen A. Smith had, maybe I'm wrong, I think
Stephen A. Smith had First Take and he was like,
get me on this show.
That's the way Stephen A. Smith tells it, Skip like begging him basically.
Oh, I thought it was, I'm not doing the show unless it's with Stephen A. Smith. That's what Skip said. I think they both have different versions. And then there was a little tension
because Stephen A. Smith told a story like that, something along the lines of what I said,
and Skip was annoyed by that. And then Stephen A. Smith had to clear the air and say, this is what
it was or whatever. But his retelling is, I think Skip came to him and said,
I need to do this. But also to what I was going to say, the moments I remember going viral from
Undisputed, with Stephen A. Smith, he needs to condescend. With Shannon, it's pulling out the
fucking Henny in the black and mild and then just going, Skip. And that's not even, he'll do that
with anybody. skip skip skip
it's just him being a fucking character so here's my pushback on that he has a podcast
where he interviews people yeah any clip that's going viral from that podcast is the guest
all the clips that go viral from the show with him and Skip are him.
And Skip is bringing something out of him.
Just like he brought the best, most entertaining version out of Stephen A,
he brings the best, most entertaining version out of Shannon.
And if there's someone else that they're gonna put in there, he's Belichick, dude.
He's gonna bring the best, most entertaining version out of the person across from him.
And it's because he's so fucking ridiculous.
You ever have someone who's kind of like ball busty and mean to you and then it gives you that like that freedom to be an asshole to them too?
And there's something liberating about that?
Like there's sometimes people like really kind or nice or polite to you.
You're like, I can't fucking kill this guy.
It forces you to kind of be polite.
Be kind and polite. But the fact that somebody's
coming in just being a jerk, you could be like, oh, I'm going to
give all my opinions.
What we've built with each other, 100%,
right? But we bring out the best of each
other. No, but you bugger right up.
You sound like Pippin talking about Jordan
right now. So stop it. Stephen A
is that dude. No, no, no, no. Stephen A
is the greatest. I said it right to his fucking face right herehen a is that dude no no no stephen a is the greatest we i said
it right to his fucking face right here i believe he's the greatest but skip best put it this way
stephen a skip is steve nash everybody around skip is gonna get a way bigger fucking contract
if you sit next to skip i'll get paid if you sit next to Stephen A, you might get paid less.
If you sit next to Stephen A, you might get paid.
Max making less money.
Stephen A could be Jordan.
Skip could be Nash.
Stephen A is Jordan.
Okay.
It's his show.
I can agree with that.
It's his thing.
He's doing it.
But Skip, if you sit there with him, you have a career.
Yeah.
That's a kingmaker, a career maker.
I don't disagree.
And again, I don't like Skip, so I'm gonna be hesitant to give up credit,
but I could see that. And again, I'm not trying to give him credit as what he says is true.
What I'm saying is, he's gonna create an environment where you're gonna speak to him
in a way that is entertaining. And if you have skill, he's gonna bring it out of you.
And he's specifically looking for people, I think, he's specifically
selecting people that he feels he can have the most entertaining dynamic with. And so far it works.
I give it up. It's like the clip that's going around that everybody's saying,
oh, this is maybe the reason why he left was when they were talking about Brady.
And then Skip brings up Sharp like, yo, you have to retire at like 30-something.
Look at how he's playing at 45.
And then he's like, yo, why are you going to take a personal shot?
It's like, yeah, he dug it a little bit and he knew he was going to.
And that moment was like this beautiful, like vulnerable, authentic feeling, right?
I'm just saying, Skip needs his flowers a bit too, for what he can create.
Yeah.
Not for the journalism.
You can't be untalented and be that big.
You can't be an idiot and get that big.
Yeah.
Twice, to your point.
Got the bag multiple times.
He'll do it again.
And it's hard to get your flowers if you're the heel.
A hundred percent.
That's right, he's the heel.
Yeah.
You have to look at him.
If it's wrestling, he's the heel.
And there can be heels that are unbelievably popular, but without them,
you don't get The Rock. The Rock needs someone to go against. So the cool thing about Stephen A
is he's a lovable anti-hero. He's like Chael Sonnen. He's the Chael. He's almost trying to
be the heel, but he's so good and so lovable that you actually like him.
And you need somebody, you need the opposition to be very specific for that.
You need somebody who's like even more of an asshole.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of like a comparison between, because I know there's been players and coaches like this with Skip where you go there and initially there's success.
And then eventually this guy's personality will wear out with everybody and it's going to go up in flames.
So this isn't the right example, but you could maybe say something about, oh, Terrell Owens back in the day.
T.O. goes to your squad.
You're going to win games.
In the immediate future, you are going to win games.
He's going to put up numbers.
At a certain point, that personality is going to destroy the locker room.
That's just what he did everywhere.
He did in San Francisco.
He did in Philly.
He did in Dallas.
He's going to divide everyone, and it's going to be fucking up in flames.
Your quarterback is going to have his best year.
Tight end is going to have his best year.
You know what I mean?
And then eventually, he's going to start calling Jeff Garcia gay or calling Donovan McNabb fat.
It's just what it's going to be. And that's going to wear on you. But yes, that's going to start calling Jeff Garcia gay or calling Donovan McNabb fat. Yes, yes, yes.
It's just what it's going to be.
And that's going to wear on you.
But yes, that's great.
Great example.
Speaking of little hot takes, did you guys see the game, game two?
I did.
I did.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, yes.
A little bit?
No.
We know he didn't.
It was a good, hmm.
At least you asked so he could say no up front.
He caught you during the idle, too.
He went to him. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't hear about it.
I actually did hear about the idol.
I heard about you when ChatGPT thought about the idol.
Okay, so Game 2 proves Eric Spolstra is the most criminally underrated coach in the history of the NBA.
Unbelievable what he did.
He has never won a Coach of the year award, I believe.
Oh, wow.
And I think I understood that a little bit more when he had the super team and was winning
the championships.
I think it was very easy for people to just go, you know what?
This is, you have the greatest stars in the league right now are on the same team.
It's not Spolstra, it's the players.
But his ability to maintain his team's position,
and he's constantly playoff threat, and now to go from eighth seed to taking a game off of Denver
and specifically confusing the shit out of the Joker. Out of one of the smartest players ever.
I mean, if you really look at what happened, they were switching in and out of that zone defense. What was happening in the fourth quarter? Jokic was turning the ball over,
throwing the shit out of bounds. He was rattled. He was really, no, don't get me wrong. He had
fucking 40 points. He had a great game. He had a great game, but he was rattled in the fourth
when it's game. The fourth quarter, the whole Nuggets squad was rattled early in the fourth.
Now they came back, but early in the fourth, you're watching that first half of the first fourth quarter.
And I was just like, yo, they look so flustered right now.
They look completely discombobulated.
And that's coaching.
And that is fucking coaching.
Also assembling that team, masterful.
A couple things they did.
One, if you notice at any point in time on the floor, they four ball handlers turnovers kill you in the motherfucking playoffs especially against a team
like the nuggets that can execute right it might be five if bam is your center yeah because bam can
kind of handle the ball and he can pass the only time where they don't have a guy who can dribble
and pass is when the white boy's up there what is zeller or whatever his name is cody zeller's up
there besides that duncan robinson is your worst ball handler yeah and he's gotten he's still a
guard you know what i mean like think about think about the knicks now we have some guys that can
handle the ball whatever but in the playoffs there's certain guys that get it and you're like
get it get the ball brunson just get it out of your hand son jalen brown that's all we were saying i
love jalen brown i'll turn over Yeah, but can't handle the ball.
Force him left.
Force him left.
Force him left.
That's all they do.
So, and then everybody, or no, at least three guys at any point in time on the floor are
knock down three point shooters.
Yeah.
Lights out, knock down three point shooters.
And they, on the heat.
Hot and cold though. Because if they're not hitting, they lose. And they, on the heat. Hot and cold, though.
Because if they're not hitting, they lose.
That is a three-point game.
This playoffs, outside of that game one,
they have been hot the whole playoffs.
And I think that they're just good.
At a certain point, you can't keep saying it's just hot.
Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent,
Struess was shooting his ass off.
Obviously, Duncan Robinson,
one of the best three-point shooters in the league.
And then, what's his face?
Jimmy's going to get to his spots.
Yeah.
You know, and shoot at a high clip.
And it's like they're finding ways to score and put pressure on.
And then when you can shoot from behind the arc, it opens up the actual floor a little
bit more because you have to defend further out.
You have to run around every single screen.
Now you're going back door and then Duncan Robinson is getting fucking layups and dunks on guys. That should never happen. You
should never have Duncan Robinson beating you to the basket. But it does when he's that much of a
three-point threat. It's so impressive to watch. So impressive. I think if they win, it's the
greatest championship run in the history of American sports. I don't know football,
like European football, but I can't think of anything. Somebody brought up the Giants in 07.
They were like a fifth or sixth seed. But in the NFL, you can get hot and win four games.
And they had a ton of talent on that team and they kind of underachieved throughout the season.
The Heat have won seven game series against the number one seed in the East, the Bucks,
who might've been the number one seed overall. Everybody thought they were going to win it.
The number two seed in the Celtics, the number four seed in the Knicks, didn't get to play
the number three seed.
They were to watch Philly, no question.
And now the number one seed in the West, Denver.
And they're 1-1 with them.
And convincingly beat them.
And they were down in the play-in game.
If they were down by three with like three minutes left or whatever,
if those three minutes don't go their way, they're out.
They don't make the playoffs at all.
What were they seeded going into the playoffs?
Eighth. Eighth, wow.
And they had to win a play-in game for the eighth seed.
So they even played more games.
Have they played more games than the Nuggets?
Yeah, because the Nuggets swept.
They swept LA.
They beat Phoenix in six, and they beat Denver in five.
Think about that.
Think about that.
Minnesota in five. Think about that. Think about that.
Think about this for a second.
Interesting statistic.
The Miami Heat beat the Nuggets in high altitude.
Yeah.
That is something the Lakers with AD.
LeBron.
LeBron.
Who else?
Phoenix didn't do it.
No, no, no.
Who else is on the Lakers? I mean, the Lakers had a little squad.
Austin Reeves, D'Angelo Russell, Dennis Schroeder.
The Stars are already in Brownsville.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that is something that a Laker team could not do.
And the Suns.
Suns couldn't win a game.
Yeah, that was crazy.
In high altitude.
Booker and Durant.
Now, I don't know how much of an advantage playing in Miami is because Miami basketball fans are not the best or most devout.
It's just not like a cultural thing down there.
But like still the fact that you take one away at home.
Yeah.
Now you took game two.
Everybody thought they would take game one because Denver would be a little bit rusty.
And then all of a sudden Denver is just going to lock it in.
And Denver will make adjustments like Mike Malone is good.
He's a good coach.
Really good coach.
And Denver will make adjustments.
Like Mike Malone is good.
He's a good coach, really good coach.
But to see a team make an adjustment and visibly frustrate another team
from game one and game two,
I mean, like really confuse them.
There were moments in that fourth quarter
where Denver's like, what the fuck is going on?
There were some late fourth heroics that kept it close.
Jamal Murray just shooting out of his fucking mind.
But outside of that, I mean.
So here's the thing I noticed with Murray.
He is streaky to me, and I feel like he's less streaky as he gets older
and more experienced and better or whatever.
But he's kind of like AD on the Lakers.
If AD goes, the Lakers pretty much win.
If Murray goes, they pretty much win.
Braun is always going to get his.
Jokic always going to get his.
Jokic is the best player in the league right now, and I don't think it's close.
But Jamal Murray, if he
goes, that motherfucker gets
hot, it's over. You're not beating him. And he
only really kind of got hot at the end of
the fourth quarter, and that's when they pulled it to within one.
I have a lot of respect for Jokic, but
I can't call him the best player in the league
if he's having fourth quarters like that.
Like, this is the finals.
Again, you have to see him the whole playoffs.
I'm giving him one quarter off.
Game one, this is Jokic.
This is where I think the brilliance of him is.
He had 27 points in game one.
You know how many shots he took?
12.
Think about taking 12 shots and getting 2.25 points per shot.
Not per make, per shot.
Kobe would get like a point a shot, and I love Kobe.
But that was like, let's get at least one point a shot or whatever.
It wasn't 2.25.
And the guy is just incredible.
And he had a triple, averaging a triple-double.
He's great.
He's great.
I'm just saying, I watched him play, and I was like, wow, that's really impressive to see a big move like this.
He's always on balance.
He's got great fucking touch.
Don't get me wrong.
Great court vision.
He's looking to make the right pass.
And, you know, guys are scoring.
It's hilarious.
But what?
It's like, this is the first time that even black people would give it up to this guy.
And the fact that you are giving him that number one spot right now.
He's the blackest.
We can't say that. Y'all are sellouts, bro.
We've never given it.
Even when y'all was talking about Luka this, Luka that,
it's like Luka was balling, but nah, he wasn't that dude.
Joker right now, son, this motherfucker, he might be that.
It's undeniable that the best players in the NBA right now are white.
Stop it.
But that is a fact.
There's nothing that we can say about that.
The best player is white.
Luka's top five. The best player. No, Luka's number one. But that is a fact. There's nothing that we could say about that. The best player is white. Luca's top five.
Best player.
No, Luca's number one.
Luca's top five.
Jokic is number two.
Tyler Hero.
Tyler Hero.
Is there even a good
black guy in the league
anymore?
But Jan is not
African-American.
Jan is Greek.
He's Greek.
He's Greek.
He's Greek.
He's European.
He's European.
The best players are
European.
The best players are
European. That's a fact. Three-fifths of the top five players in the league are European. The best players are European.
That's a fact.
Three-fifths of the top five players in the league are European.
Who are you guys?
I thought this was America.
So did we.
We thought they were alcoholic.
Let these fucking Europeans come in and bully us, bro.
Come on, black people, step it up.
What the fuck is happening here, bro?
I don't know.
Do it for America.
I don't know.
This is sad.
This is really sad. This is our sport, bro. Immig't know. Do it for America. I don't know. This is sad. This is really sad.
This is our sport, bro.
Immigrants, bro, taking your jobs.
Yeah.
God damn it.
Those are the real aliens.
Fuck.
I think Jimmy is going to neutralize Jamal.
I did have that fear.
I still think the Nuggets win, but that is a valid fear.
And even the last position.
Once Jimmy switched onto Jamal,
it was locked on.
Jamal got a good shot off, and it looked good
going up, too. I thought the D was so good, though.
Yeah, he did. But I agree with you,
though. I think that Jamal is going to be the difference maker.
I think that Joe gets 40 whenever he
wants to get 40, and I think he does it
efficiently, and he's very impressive, don't get me wrong.
But
if Jamal doesn't also
get it up there, it's going to be tricky. Yeah, man. I, I think they will figure it. I also like,
I don't know a ton of like X's and O's whatever, but like, I just felt like I saw a lot of blown
defensive assignments on the nuggets and they're not a good defensive team, but if they can play
decently, I think they win that game. Decent defense. Like the amount of just lazy D, I thought,
on screens and whatever,
wide open shooters, everybody's not communicating,
being sloppy. I was like, oh, I think if
they fix their defense, they can win.
And realistically, a lot
of series go to 1-1 with two good teams.
And even though the Heat are an 8-7, they're
a fucking good team. So I think,
I still think Nuggets in 6, maybe 7,
but dude, the Heat are
like you said, man, they had
the Nuggets flustered. They're just so
well coached, so disciplined. I still think Nuggets in five.
I think they take one back.
They have to win out now. They have to take both
in Miami. It's the next three, right?
It's two in Miami, but if they're going to win in five,
they have to win the next three.
Because it's 1-1.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay. Spider-1. Okay.
Spider-Man came out. Everybody is saying that this is the greatest Spider-Man movie
ever.
A lot of people are saying this.
It is the highest grossing Spider-Man movie
in history. I think including
cartoon and
not cartoon.
Okay.
So far, like opening weekend or whatever it was.
But just look to make sure.
People are saying it was absolutely amazing.
Al fell asleep.
I did.
Now, why is that?
Not because it wasn't good.
I was just tired, bro.
Okay.
Oh, man.
But the parts that you saw, you didn't like? No, I think I was tired tired, bro. Okay. Oh, man. But the parts that you saw, you didn't like?
No, I think I was tired going into it.
So it's like I wasn't even all the way listening.
You weren't locked in. Yeah, I wasn't.
I got to watch it again to give it a real.
Is it possible you don't relate to it?
A young black man, you know, having a relationship with a Caucasian woman from another part of the world.
Is it possible
that there's nothing there that you can kind of connect
to? Was that why I was boring to you?
I was like, bro, I lived this.
I think you relate too much.
They might have to give you some money, bro.
Yeah, you might be entitled to it.
If Miles starts painting his nails, that's a weird thing. If Miles Morales
comes in with painted nails, that's Alex.
Yo, Miles Morales, a Hispanic
black man.
Wow.
From New York. Yes.
A Hispanic black man from New York
has a relationship
with a white woman. I inspired
the highest selling Spider-Man.
There we go.
That's kind of fun.
It's the best opening ever for an animated Sony film.
Yeah.
Oh, animated Sony film.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Because I think the Tom Holland, his last one, that was the biggest one.
That was the biggest one.
And that one was phenomenal.
That was phenomenal.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's great.
Yeah.
He's great.
This one was, from the people I spoke to, it's a good, crazy cliffhanger.
And I think the next one is going to be crazy.
Do you know what the cliffhanger is?
No. Why are we even talking to this guy? cliffhanger and I think the next one is going to be crazy. Do you know what the cliffhanger is?
Why are we even talking to this guy?
I thought he was going to have a take.
Did you guys see it? No!
So why are you breaking it up? Because you saw it!
I just, kinda.
You know I kinda saw it.
I saw Black Little Mermaid.
What did you think about it? It's also very funny that
Mark put Little Mermaid in the notes.
Yo, I thought the movie, my wife loves all of it, so we went and saw all Disney movies I have to see.
It was too long, but that girl, Halle Bailey, is fucking incredible.
Really talented.
Son, the first song she sings, I was like, this is beautiful.
I look at my girl, she's crying at the first song.
I look at the girl next to me, also with a miserable
boyfriend, this girl crying.
I look at the girl next to my girl,
they're crying. One song in. Which song?
What's it called? A part of
what is it? A part of that world?
Come on.
A part of your world.
I want to be where the people
are. I want to see them dancing.
Walking around on those, what do you call them?
Feet.
Feet.
Feet.
Feet.
Stop.
Bro, who likes feet more, me or Little Mermaid, bro?
Oh, that's a tough one.
That's a tricky one, dude. Who wanted Little Mermaid to get feet more, me or Little Mermaid, bro? Oh, that's a tough one. That's a tricky one, dude.
Who wanted Little Mermaid to get feet more, me or Little Mermaid?
How are the feet?
Do they do a little thing?
And is the reveal good?
Not bad.
Not bad.
Just not bad?
Not bad.
Are they Halle Bailey's actual feet?
I think so.
Is she old enough for me to discuss this?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
I've looked into this.
Did she paint the toenails? Yes.
Whoa, did it come with toenail polish?
Disney not going to have her own. Come on, it's Disney, bro.
Disney knows what the people want.
You get feet and a pedicure?
They're fucking fresh.
Like a pearl color, I believe.
Bro, can I tell you my joke?
Can I tell you my joke that I made on Brilliant Idiots?
You know how Little Mermaid's mom died?
How?
Yeah, she did die.
She did die.
But do you know what she died from?
No.
Sickle shell anemia.
Scotiabank Arena.
Scotiabank Arena is the top 30 of LA.
Okay, so you love her ability.
And I thought these people who are outraged at a black little mermaid, pick a different one.
I get that you're upset that they're trying to make everything overly diverse.
But like my wife said, this girl looks like a Disney princess.
She's a beautiful girl, big eyes, like pretty smile, all that.
She's always been diverse.
I hate this argument.
That's also true.
It's like they've always had fucking Asian or black or whatever Disney movies.
I think the weird thing is when you're, there's this trend of taking existing characters of
one race or color and switching them out for others.
I think that's when people get weirded out.
But nobody was like, Mulan, what the fuck is this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if they did remake Mulan with a white lead.
Fire.
Fire, dude.
Fire.
That'd be awesome.
They should do that.
What do you mean?
Why can't it be white?
What's weird about it?
What's wrong with it being white?
You see how you walked right into that, right?
Let him walk right into it.
Let him walk right into it.
But now I'm thinking, if that Depp girl was it.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
Good saying.
That's Mulan.
Good saying.
You tied it in with an old thing and everything.
Bro, you said The Depp girl
And I started to get goosebumps
Behind my ears
That was weird
Stop it dude
Stop it
I wonder if
She does well enough where she
Are we talking about Depp or are we talking about
We just jumped off Yeah because let's go to what matters I wonder if she does well enough where she. Are we talking about Depp or are we talking about Loma?
Where like.
We just jumped off Little Mermaid.
Yeah, because let's go to what matters. Let's go talk about Depp and them fucking lighter nipples.
Dude, her nipples.
Her nipples look like Bic lighters.
Look at them things.
But like children of huge stars.
God damn.
God damn.
They have to do something crazy to like get out of that shadow.
I mean, Johnny Depp made some nice little.

But no, Apple put out the new goggles. You guys saw it?
Yeah. I watched Marquez. I watched Tech Windows. I watched Brownlee's review of them, which was fantastic.
You guys should go check it out.
And he's going to break it down way better than us, and anything that we say here is all going to be stolen from him.
But it is – it's really interesting.
It's really interesting.
What's your take?
One thing I thought was really cool.
The goggles, it looks as if they're translucent, meaning you see the eyes.
So if I'm wearing them, there's a mode where you can see my eyes.
It's actually not my eyes.
It is a projection of the inside of the goggles on the outside.
And you can turn that on or off.
Now, when it's quote unquote off, right? So, or on, so you can see my eyes. It lets you know that
I can see you and look at you because I'm looking at everything around me, right? So it's really
Jarvis. Like remember with Iron Man, like you can have multiple screens going on. You can look at
your computer right there and then it will mirror what's on your computer, because it's obviously synced up to all the Apple
stuff, and then just pop it up into wherever you want in this world, and then you move it around
with your fingers. All you have to do to, I guess, click on something is just do this with your
fingers. And it's locked with your eyes. It seems that intuitive that it'll actually move.
When Marquez was doing it, it was actually moving it around?
They don't show him using it.
He's just describing his use of it.
And I'm sure there's certain limitations.
But it's not coming out for another year.
Some of the goggles that are out now have the augmented reality where you can do that same thing.
But you're doing it with a controller, I believe.
Either a controller or you wear some gloves.
Or the gloves.
Yeah, so this is dope.
Yeah, he's like, one of the things he said is Apple's charging $3,500 for it, which is much more expensive than all the other goggles on the market.
And he goes, but like Apple often does, there is nothing to compare this to.
They're setting a price point because you cannot literally compare this technology to anything else out there.
The fact that it's registering your eyes. So if you're looking at a certain app, it will,
it knows how. Like if you're focused in on, let's say your music app, it will go to the music app that's on the screen in front of you.
It's like you're looking at a computer, essentially.
And it will highlight it in a way.
And then if you want to click it, you just go like this.
It just knows where your fingers are, knows where your hands are.
It's registering the reality around you and this fake reality that's creating in front of you and allowing you to interface with the fake reality.
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
Is this not a little scary to everybody?
It's scary.
Break that,
break down the,
like,
I think how much we're addicted to our phones,
how much that takes us out of reality.
I can't sleep for shit.
A big reason is the phone.
I know how addicted I am to it.
You're just immersing yourself even more with this.
Like there's no reason to not live with this all the time.
I can just go wherever I need to go, do whatever's got two hour battery life yeah it's only gonna get better you know you're 100%
it's only gonna get longer it's only gonna progress quicker and quicker i do think that it
creates um i i understand why you're scared because it enables you to live your life completely within a screen.
Yeah. And sorry, one more point. There's been no study that says human beings are happier
with smartphones. Yeah, but they don't care about our happiness.
Yeah, they don't care about our happiness. But that's another reason that I'm a little fearful.
It's like, this is only going to exacerbate whatever that is.
We don't care about our happiness either. So what this allows you to do, it's quite interesting.
It's like, okay, we've got nine hours
of phone time or seven hours of phone time that you're doing a day. And then I have the Apple
Watch. So it's like, I'm always kind of part of you. This does enable it so that you can live
within a screen your entire day. So you can put that in eventually. You could put these things on
and I'm sure there'll be like really small versions of them. And you could put them on
and you could go about your day. You can order coffee.
You can FaceTime. This is awesome. You can FaceTime and what the person sees on FaceTime
is a AI generated version of your face that you first do with your iPhone.
So when you first are setting up the goggles, it creates this version of your face,
and that's what's projected. So you and I are FaceTiming. I got the goggles on. You don't see
my goggles. You see my face talking to you, but it's AI generated. So it looks like you're out
here just talking to me? No, no, no. You on your regular phone. You're not on your goggles. You
just see me talking to you, but it's not me because I have the fucking goggles on.
You just see me talking to you, but it's not me because I have the fucking goggles on.
Now, it probably will feel a little bit weird.
It's like, okay, I'm talking to a computer, but eventually it will look exactly like you.
Does it mimic your, like if you're laughing, does the AI version laugh?
I imagine.
It will get there eventually.
Yeah.
That's what that girl Sinead said.
She was like, technology, the trend is that it gets smaller and closer to your body.
Yeah. And that like as these progress, they will get smaller and smaller. Oh, yeah, you had aad said. She was like, technology, the trend is that it gets smaller and closer to your body. Yeah.
And that as these progress, they will get smaller and smaller. Oh, yeah, you had a futurist.
Futurist, yeah.
Yeah, futurist on Camp Yagnon.
Yeah, Sinead Bovell.
But she was talking about this, and she called us out four months ago.
Really?
On your pod?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was like, this is going to happen, and it's going to progressively get better, and
it's going to replace a smartphone.
So we're not going to be using our iPhones on a day-to-day basis, and this will be eventually what people are using, whether it's the goggles or whether it's just glasses or
contacts or a neural link. Google tried it with the Google Glass, and it just didn't.
Well, Google can never do hardware because they just don't have culture.
And it probably was a little bit before its time. It didn't have the technology. I don't
think people will walk around with a headset that's that big. What I can see them potentially
doing, and apparently it's a little bit heavy and cumbersome right that big. What I can see them potentially doing, and apparently
it's a little bit heavy and kind of cumbersome right now, but what I can see somebody doing is
working with it. So instead of taking your laptop to work, you take that to work.
You know who's not looking over your shoulder to see if you're actually doing stuff?
Your boss, when you have it all in your goggles. It's going to get more comfortable. You can
monitor things. You can
text. You can do everything you need in complete privacy right here. And you can see what's going
on in your world around you. So it's not like you can't see what's happening in the office.
You're not worried about somebody bumping into you or throwing something at you. I can see you,
Alex, while I'm typing on my computer right here. And multiple people work. Sorry, real quick.
Multiple people to that point. Multiple people work with two screens, two monitors. And you can have four.
I didn't think people would use this at the office.
This will be the new way to work from home because now you can get rid of that big desk and get rid of the office space in your house.
That you need the four different computers.
Imagine you're one of these Wall Street guys that has three different TVs going on at the same time and a ticker on every single one of them and all your reports.
You're tapping in between all of them. Now you can comfortably be on your couch,
just have all your screens right here. Yeah. She predicted that this will change
the way people decorate their homes. Interior decor completely changes because you no longer
will need physical workspaces. You'll no longer need physical TVs. And then on top of that,
you're going to be able to walk around and you won't have physical advertisements.
You'll have curated ads the way you have on your phone that will pop up in the world virtually as you're walking through.
Oh, wow.
And then you can take them off, and then there's no more billboards that are clogging up all over the streets.
Question, isn't this kind of the idea of what NFTs was?
Like, we're eventually going to live in this world, and the art will be in this world on these glasses.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You might still have billboards.
Cheaper.
But those billboards can be curated
to your specific desires and interests.
Right, yeah.
So there's just a QR code on it,
or not a QR code,
but whatever the equivalent is,
it's a green screen.
It is whatever it is.
A city would actually probably look uglier like this,
or maybe they find a way where it can look beautiful, right?
It's like the billboard
itself can just be a piece of art when you don't
have the goggles on. It also doesn't matter because we're all here
anyway. They do that for soccer games where
the little banner that goes around the field
changes depending on where you live.
They'll change that. Smart.
Smart. But they'll still be
billboards because not
everyone will be able to afford this.
Most people actually won't be.
So there'll probably just be more billboards.
Within five to ten years, though.
All the legacy.
It's only going to get cheaper.
It's only going to get more accessible.
Eventually, people are going to have it.
But what I thought was really interesting about this is the...
Oh, I forgot.
Fuck.
I think the cool thing in the future when they have the Neuralink and then you have these things,
so then you don't even have to do the whole clicking with your hand.
It's like you're just thinking everything you want to do on the screen.
Spotify, play this song, and you're just thinking in your head.
Yeah, that's going to be the next shit.
Yeah, but everyone predicted it was going to be VR,
whereas that NFT space where things were all virtual,
you're putting on the Oculus and
now you're just completely immersed in this
quote-unquote virtual reality. And it seems
like AR, as of right now, is
the better bet, where it's an augmented...
It's so much better. And don't get me wrong, VR creates
way funnier videos for the internet.
Like people fighting a wall
and running into shit, freaking out.
Like a little rail over New York.
But AR creates the comfort to actually work.
I would feel uncomfortable
if I was doing work in an office
and I didn't know who was next to me,
close to me, around me, anything.
Yeah, that's weird.
Like, you'd think that you'd bang your coffee.
There's so many things that could go wrong.
That was my issue with the Oculus,
just trying to watch a movie on it
or play a game with it.
I would constantly be like, is there someone? Right here.
No, that's the thing. It has that setting already built in. Like it has the. What I'm saying is
you can, with this, what we're saying is you can opt into it, but it exists also an augmented
reality where you can see is augmented. You can see everything around you. Yeah. Yeah. So, which
I think is important for most of the use. Like if you're checking email, you're looking at all these other things, you want to be able to see the environment around you.
If you're watching a movie and you want to totally lock in, sit down, you know you're not moving, lock in.
And if at any point in time you want to see what's going on around you, you just turn it on.
So there's a space for both, but this allows you to live your day-to-day.
And then when you really want to go into the VR world, you do that and that alone.
This is more functional for day to day. Yeah. 100%. And I think that's what Apple realized.
Yeah, I think that's what Apple realized about it. Also, I thought it was really smart. That's
what I was going to say. The fact that they're announcing it a year ahead of time. So it's not
coming out for a year. And they did that so that the companies start making apps for this.
Because it's a different operating system.
It's the Vision operating system or the Vision Pro operating system.
You basically have a computer in your head.
That's what it is.
And so they're going to make their apps for it so by the time it comes out, you're not limited.
Like when Oculus came out, you could play one game where you grab the fucking gun and you shoot the shit in the environment.
Like there wasn't just a lot to do with it. When Oculus came out, you could play one game where you grab the fucking gun and you shoot the shit in the environment.
There wasn't just a lot to do with it.
For me, I bought them, and then since I really couldn't do that much with it or I felt I couldn't do that much with it, I just kind of lost interest.
This, it's got to be seamless.
The second I put it on, I got my email.
I got my Apple ID.
Everything's ready to go.
I'm watching movies.
I'm on a flight with it.
Think about us when we're flying almost every weekend.
Yeah, on a flight, this is amazing. I like the fact, and Brownlee pointed this out,
but I like the fact that the battery pack is external because it takes away the weight.
Off your head. Adding all the weight to the already heavy thing,
fucked up. You have it external and it's just something that you plug in and then it can be in your pocket or it can be your backpack or whatever the hell it is.
So then it almost feels like a headphone wire.
Yeah.
And then you can get two battery packs if you're going and you need more than two hours.
You know you're not going to be plugged directly into the wall.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
So and Apple historically has done a good job of like making cool technology completely consumable by everyone where it's like, okay, the computer is like this niche thing that people are using in specific spaces.
Let's democratize it where everyone can use it.
Like the Palm Pilot and like work phones is like a very niche thing for like business people.
Blackberry.
Let's democratize it.
Everyone can get a phone.
And hopefully this does the same thing where it's like, okay, the Oculus is cool.
It's within this gaming community and people are using it for specific stuff.
Let's democratize it.
Everyone can use it for everyday life. So it'll be interesting
if they can do it again. And if they can, I feel like this
would be the third or fourth time that they've successfully
done it. So what would
we
use it for?
Miles, I know that you're into the tech stuff.
What are you looking forward to using
the Vision Pro for?
I don't know.
That's the hardest one for me.
It's cool they're giving developers a year
to use it because I remember when the Apple Watch
first came out, they did the same thing.
They gave it six months until it actually came out
and then they gave it to a bunch of people
to actually make apps for it.
In the beginning, I was like,
I'm not going to want an Apple Watch.
When it first was announced, I was like,
it doesn't itch anything for me.
So I'm excited to see what use cases
developers come out for with it.
Same thing with Apple Watch.
In the beginning, I was like, I don't know if Apple Watch is that impressive.
And now I'm like, yeah, Apple Watches are wildly impressive.
Tax Call, the Ultra, all of that's gone really crazy and done cool stuff.
So with the headset, I'm eager to use it.
I'm so eager to try it out.
But I don't know the exact use cases yet.
And I'm excited to see other people find those use cases.
You'll see someone use it and go, oh, I need that.
Oh, I can do that.
Yeah.
That's kind of what happened with me with the Apple Watch is I saw you guys using your, I think, competing with workouts or something like that.
And I was like, oh, okay, it can track certain things.
Yeah.
Alex, you probably use Oculus the most out of all of us.
Well, I did, but just like you, I lost interest.
Like this, I still don't really see a time I can use it,
but I can see streamers loving this.
Because if it can mimic your face,
now it's like I can be a Twitch streamer,
a YouTube streamer,
and it's looking like you're looking straight at me.
And at the same time,
those streamers are looking at multiple screens
while they're pulling up stuff and all that
so it's like if you can integrate that I can stream
you're seeing my face I'm looking at this screen
I'm pulling this video in
and it'll be a much easier setup
than having a camera like
and you have your mouse that you're doing all this clicking it's better
if you're just running around
I'm really excited
for the content side of
things like content creation and content capture.
So it takes three dimensional photos and videos.
We using all the cameras and outside.
Oh,
that's right.
That's going to be like,
imagine we're taking 3d videos.
Our,
our kids are,
our parents took photos of us on like film.
And then we're taking kids,
pictures of our kids or future kids on like iPhones.
And then like,
it's going to be insane to think that like you're sending a video to someone
and you put it on and you're like in the room watching Avengers end game with
Tony Stark and his dad,
that memory that he just lives.
Yes.
You're just in that shit.
And you get to put on the memory and you get to take it too.
You can just hit the button and then it does the thing.
I'm excited to see content creation.
This is some old man shit to say,
but it is very cool to see,
and I wonder if past generations have felt the same way,
but it's very cool to see technology catch up
with the movies that we watched
that were exhibiting technology
that was far beyond our years.
So what we saw Tony Stark doing with Jarvis,
we will very soon be able to do
with the Vision Pro, versions of it. But we have ChatGBT, which is something that we can ask
questions, get answers to, interface to like Jarvis. I mean, once they integrate their version version of ChatGPT with this. Think about that. Apple's AI. Let's call it fucking banana.
What is it? Hey, banana, can you bring up my schedule for today? Schedule pops up on your
Oculus. You're brushing your teeth. Move that thing to this thing. What over here? What's the
best way for me to get sushi before 8 o'clock?
These things are suggested. Could you call
the, maybe it can, maybe it can.
Could you go on Resi?
There's auto schedulers and stuff, yeah.
It's going to be upgraded.
It's going to be Jarvis.
But what I'm saying is since it's completely seamlessly integrated
within your Apple world,
everything can be done
through Siri or whatever their AI function is. Whereas
the other auto schedules, you have to go to that
schedule and then it will apply it to the different schedules.
Right? Like,
dude, eventually we're
just going to be apples.
Right? Is that the future?
Do we just become the product
ourselves? That's why I think the big
loser in this is Meta.
Meta's big bet was we're all going to be on the Metaverse.
We're all going to be Meta.
Facebook.
We're all going to be in that thing.
We own, it's called the Metaverse.
Let's just call ourselves Meta.
So the Meta world,
we'll just call it the Metaverse.
It's indistinguishable.
Everybody's going to live.
Everybody's going to be ours.
Then Apple just bodied these motherfuckers
with the hardware.
And then they got the Apple App Store
is Apple gonna create
their content, movies, TV shows
specifically
for the Vision Pro
is there a way that they can shoot it
like
do you shoot it
I don't know if this gives you any advantage
but like shooting it
wider than it really would be so that
when you watch it with the vision pro you can actually kind of turn your talk about instagram
no i'm talking about like the ted lasso and all the shows like so just utilizing 360 cameras more
but then you'd have to light 360 which would be really difficult yeah but there's like on the
oculus for example there are youtube channels that put stuff up that's 360 yeah you can potentially like that becomes eventually use ai to fill in
the gaps that aren't present yeah what would the rest of this stadium look like what would the rest
of this and they i bet you they could just fill in a generic plate to be like okay i'm in the
soccer stadium yeah and i'm only seeing this square but the rest of it would be this. Dude, you know what else they could do? They could shoot.
They could shoot wider.
I mean, things might start to get a little fuzzy on the edges, but they could shoot everything just wider, film everything wider, crop in for what the regular folks that don't have the Vision Pro would be watching. And then if you do have the Vision Pro, you can, with it, access the angles yourself just by looking on the edges.
Imagine our podcast.
Yeah.
You either, A, are allowed to jump into each camera or there's one in the middle and they're just like able to zoom in and go, this is the shot I want.
I want to focus on Andrew.
Oh, that's the NBA games thing.
Am I suspicion those are people?
Do you have a little space on the couch for everybody?
I don't think people will actually you have a little space on the couch for everybody?
I don't think people will actually want to do that, personally.
I don't think people will want to be too immersive too frequently. I think, sorry, I think if they can find a way to do it with the person you want to watch it with.
Like if we all wanted to watch a movie and we found a way we're all sitting in that bitch.
Or we want to watch an NBA game.
We find a way we're all sitting courts, talking to each other, having the experience.
We're all watching Game of Thrones, Battle of the Bastards,
in the battle. Because right now, it's just going to be
your headset, and then you're going to talk to your wife
about it. If we're at it together, it might be
we can just chat and have the whole thing.
My suspicion is that most people won't do
that. My feeling is that they'll be
like, okay, there'll be a screen where I'm
watching things, and then there's also going to be Instagram
and TikTok. There's also going to be my email and that's how I'm currently
watching TV, which is like the screen here, but mostly Instagram and then looking up and then
checking my email and kind of flicking through stuff. And I think that's going to be more what
the layout will be. And it won't be necessarily as immersive and maybe that will be an option,
but I think it'll be more like multi-plane with different softwares. Yeah, I do subscribe to that
because that's kind of how we watch things right now.
Like right now, somebody has this on,
they're looking at their phone for something
and there's their laptop where they're working.
And if they have these,
all those things could be operating harmoniously
and they could be tuning in to us,
going back to their email whatever without
even clicking out of windows just simply just kind of looking to the right yeah slightly and that
would be like the entertainment experience and then i think the work experience is like oh i'm
doing dishes around the house or i'm cleaning or i'm going to pick the kids up from school or
whatever and while i'm driving i'm able to kind of like see a profile of a thing or my email thread
or my text thread and it's like i mean seamlessly integrated once once they have i don't know if they can do this legally but once the apple text thread. And it's like seamlessly integrated.
Once they have, I don't know if they can do this legally,
but once the Apple car comes out,
then it's just a different version of that where you're, what is it called?
The-
Probably be autopilot anyway.
What is that?
Yeah, where your windshield.
Okay, so if you're on autopilot,
you don't have to worry about the driving.
Now your windshield becomes an interactive screen, right?
And it's just your computer screen so you're
looking out if you want it's like that augmented reality thing but it could also have your movie
that's up here your text coming in instagram all the other stuff ah when do they make kid sizes for
this shit and i just you just see a bunch of kids sitting at the restaurant and their goggles like
no that's i think that's when it'll fuck us up oh i think right now that like you don't
believe that you can yeah like nothing can you i mean you were acknowledging earlier like i'm on
my phone way too much yeah but i feel like when we start to interact with a piece of technology
we're like oh this isn't going to take over my life this is going to do anything to me i'm an
adult i have you know can make my own autonomous. It's once you see a kid scrolling an iPad nonstop that you go, ooh, that's an issue.
They look addicted to that.
Watch a Coca-Mellon nonstop.
And if it's the only way the parents can calm that kid down and it's like you see all these iPad holders, like the rubber little alien or something, they just hand them out.
Yeah.
That's for the plane.
I will say this.
Restaurants have gotten so much quieter.
Yes.
Yeah. It is. I mean, they should. You know how they were like, you need a suit jacket to
eat here. They should hand kids out. You need a rubber iPad. Yeah. You need your iPad or the
kid cannot enter the restaurant. Also, I think the idea of autonomy is like kind of an illusion
with technology and adults. I think they've hacked our brains so much that we think we're in control
of when we look at the phone, we have no fucking clue how often we're on the phone. Because we're like,
oh, we're autonomous. We're making this decision.
How many times have you opened up the phone and not
know what the fuck you're looking for? All the time. And you're just like,
why am I on this? All the time.
They just hack the fuck out of our brain. That's why
I'm also scared of it, because they are
in there. They know how we think
better than we know how we think. As dope
as this looks, I still don't think it's
going to work. I think it'll be another VR Oculus.
There'll be a community for it that it works for,
but I think for most people,
especially if you live with someone at home,
it's like once you put that thing on your face,
it's like that person's checked out.
And it creates a really weird dynamic when you're at home.
Great call.
Great call.
I walk around my AirPods and I have full conversation.
You can literally see your
face. I can wave really quickly
and get your attention. Now,
if I'm watching something with this thing
on, I either have to yell loudly
at you or tap you
to get you to check you out.
If it's AR, it's like, oh, you can still
see. Yeah, but you're still
looking at screens. They have to go in front of oh, you can still see. Yeah, but you're still looking at screens.
There's a disconnect when someone has ski goggles on.
They have to go in front of you, get in your line of vision.
It's just not as immediate as like, yo, hey, Mark.
I completely agree with you.
That was the biggest issue with me when I got the Oculus, is that I was completely disconnected from my wife.
And it wasn't an issue for me.
It was an issue for my wife.
And I understand that.
That makes perfect sense.
So the way to fix this
is to make them glasses.
And the only way for them
to be glasses
is for them to start like this.
And then it gets smaller and closer.
Doesn't this look like the first,
what was it called?
Was it the iMac?
What was that like?
There was an Apple computer
that had like...
The round one? It was a little bit round and it had translucent different colors computer that had like. The round one.
The tree was a little bit round and had translucent different colors.
And it had a little handle on it.
So the iMac.
It kind of almost looks like the first iMac.
Like it's a little bit like kind of round and big.
And it feels bulky now.
But once it's the size of your glasses right there.
And it will fucking get there.
You can be in the.
It's like your home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it just takes longer than what people think.
It'll be five years.
No, I think it'll take longer than that.
10 years?
Because they've been working on Oculus for 10 years and it hasn't changed that much.
Fair enough.
But.
I think it's less.
Yeah.
Well, who knows?
Who knows?
Whatever it is, it will get there.
But in order for it to get there, this has to work.
If this flops, they're not going to keep improving it and keep putting in the money for R&D. But if it does all
right- That buy-in, that's steep.
But maybe they price it at a point where they're like, this is only for the enthusiasts.
Early investors. Exactly. We don't need this to be
an iPod. We don't need this to be a iPhone. We don't need this to be that type of
sensational breakout. It's priced at a
point where just the people who are obsessed are going to buy
it and we can break even
or make enough money where we can continue
the investment and it's worth it. Because I agree,
the price point is high. This is not like a
traditional consumer good. But if the technology
is groundbreaking, then the technology
will persist. All of the Apple
products in the beginning were more
expensive than I think you remember.
The OG laptops, OG iPod,
OG iPhone. That iMac was thousands of dollars.
Yeah, the original. Thousands, thousands.
The original MacBooks
were so
$7,000 in today's money.
iPods were more expensive than you remember.
iPhones were incredibly more expensive.
And super... They didn't have,
you couldn't send picture messages on the original iPhone.
Like there's things that people forget.
I think I remember the first iPhone not being very impressive.
It was impressive for the time, but when you look back on it,
it's like, this is damn near primitive.
So like by the third or fourth iteration of this,
you'll be like, oh, it's cheaper, ubiquitous, and I want it.
And does more.
And does a lot more.
Yeah. It's going to be really interesting to watch. And does more. And does a lot more.
It's going to be really interesting to watch.
And also there's going to be other companies getting... Android has started pushing Apple into doing
a bunch of shit that Apple didn't do.
That's what competition does.
There's going to be other companies doing their thing now.
Oculus will step its game up.
Other new companies are trying to come in.
They're going to go off of that, add little improvements.
It's just going to keep pushing each other.
Thinner, better, whatever.
Maybe.
We'll see.
Okay, guys.
Anything else before we get out of here?
This is one random thought based on what you said about watching technology that we saw in movies become reality.
You think the only thing that makes a science fiction type movie stick around is we still haven't gotten the technology yet?
I'm thinking of Back to the Future.
There was another movie I was thinking of oh star trek star trek stuck around because we are never we're still we still can't teleport back to the future we don't have flying
cars we don't have time machines and there's probably tons of sci-fi movies that were huge
back in the day but now we got all that shit and we're like so it's not sci-fi yeah yeah yeah it's
just that's just reality yeah yeah and i've been Iron Man in 2023, or 2033, 43.
They might look at it and be like, yeah, this is what we do.
We have a flying suit.
I mean, that's kind of how I feel watching old Batman.
Like, you ever see, like, the old Batman movie from, like, the 60s?
And it's like, I got a rope.
I'm climbing the building.
I'm like, that's not really super.
Yeah.
I'm not.
It's like, there's a guy, like, Alex Honnold does that, like, for fun three times a week. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah'm like, that's not really super. Yeah. I'm not. It's like, there's a guy, like Alex Honnold does that for fun three times a week.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah.
I've been thinking a lot about this recently with like every Marvel movie that comes out.
It feels as if every movie or the new generation of these superhero movies is intertwined with
different realities.
This idea of the multiverse.
Every movie has the multiverse tapped into it.
Why?
Why is there this obsession with the multiverse?
To bring characters back.
So is it specifically to like re-infuse old IP into the newer stories.
For the most part.
But this existed already in the comics.
But they realized like there comes a time
where either the hero dies and that was the big hit.
And so they found ways like,
oh, you know this, we can bring the hero back by doing this.
Here's what an idiot I am.
I thought this was like a theory
that we all could play with now.
Yeah, I thought this was new revelation.
Oh yeah, that is possible, that there's infinite
universes and I'm indifferent in every
one of them. I think it's kind of both. I think it broke into
scientific lexicon, like the idea of
a multiverse. In my
opinion, it feels like it has reached
society in the last five, ten years.
So I think it's influenced culture,
but it's been in the comics for a while.
And the money, I think the money's greater with a multiverse, and on top of that, I think it's like influence culture, but it's been in the comics for a while. And the money, I think the money is greater with a multiverse.
And on top of that, I think it's easier to write.
Because you're like, when you're confined to this little parameter of what this reality is,
there's only so many stories that can be told within it.
And once you're able to be like, wait, they can transport to a different universe
where the laws are completely different.
What is that term?
Deus Ex Machina?
Ex Machina, yeah.
Yeah, it is that term deus ex machina yeah yeah it's
it is that in a lot of ways it's like you're dead but you and another multiverse isn't dead and god
comes through and saves you and now the story is different that's why it's like i think marvel
going forward it's going to be really hard for them to have like high stakes because it's like
now if anybody dies they don't really. I don't like the multiverse.
I mean, I have to watch this movie and I did like the other Spider-Man movie,
but for that exact reason,
I don't like infinite opportunities, possibilities.
I like being confined to reality.
Bro, I almost had a fucking mental breakdown.
I'm doing a crossword yesterday with my wife.
And no, no, wait till you get it
because it is bad, bro. It gets it's worse dude we're doing a crossword
it's not even the sunday one sunday is the toughest crossword this is like a thursday
cross midweek cross midweek crossword this is a run-of-the-mill crossword i cannot get this
fucking word even though i know what it is probably a hard word no no no what was the
description it's probably tough um? I honestly cannot remember, but
I got it.
I got it.
I go and it's the app
so you can actually try each letter.
You can kind of cheat. I go through
every letter of the alphabet.
It's none of them. I'm like,
I found a faulty crossword. I'm like
vindicated. I'm like, I knew I was right.
I knew I was right. I knew I was right.
Okay.
If there's no fucking way and I reset the app, I go back in.
I type the letter that I think it's supposed to be.
It's not it.
I go, did I break the crossword?
I try a number to be sarcastic.
They put numbers in the crossword.
So it was a year.
They're using numbers, and the way you spell the number, those letters count within the
word.
I'm done.
Wait, so how do you spell a number?
T-W-O for two.
Oh, okay.
O-N-o for two oh okay o-n-e for one so now those letters count in the spelling of the actual
word this is infinite possible this is the multiverse there's infinite possibilities now
it's too many possibilities i start getting anxiety i don't even want to do this fucking
crossword we all just hear the same thing. There was never actual numbers in
crossword puzzles, so you would have to
always spell out the number.
He's saying you can put the number in.
Oh, so it's the other way around.
In that one box,
you would put, let's say, two.
Oh, okay, okay. But the
spelling of two counts.
Whoa.
That's kind of hard.
So, for example, let's say the word is
one up.
One up.
No, because that's like
there are ones where it's like
bro, it's too sophisticated.
21 Pilots, the band.
Petite Folles.
Petite Folles,
what is it called?
They're appetizers. Petite Folles. Petite Fours. Petite Fours. What is it called? They're appetizers.
Petite Fours.
Petite Fours.
Okay?
It was French appetizers, something like that.
I go, that's Petite Fours.
I know that.
It's Petite Fours, right?
I spell Petite.
Petites.
I'm like, I got that part right.
There's too many more fucking boxes.
I'm like, they're not enough boxes for me to spell Fours.
What the fuck is this shit?
Petites, the letter
four, and then an S.
That's crazy, because that's how you spell
that word in French.
F-O-U-R.
There's infinite possibilities.
This is not
MAGA.
We need to make
America great again, bro. Where's's- We need to make- What is that doing to MAGA? To finish that- We need to make America great again,
bro.
Where's Trump?
We need Trump back, bro.
What does Trump have to do with the crosswords?
Honestly, this is the most disrespectful thing the New York Times ever done.
This is fake news.
This is fake news.
This is the most disrespectful thing.
You can't go into a crossword and now the possibility of numbers has entered.
My brain shuts down.
It's not endless, It's just an additional.
It's endless now.
Because if you know the answer in my, I don't know, I don't do crosswords.
But if you know the answer, then you would just.
Well, if you don't do crossword.
Then you just, I can't be F-O-U-R-S, so it must be number four.
There's only one more possibility now.
But every word could also be spelled with the number.
No, not every everyone has a number.
But only words with numbers.
Do you know how many different words could potentially fit into these things?
Okay, so we are here at the same time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You guys don't do crosswords, so you don't know.
You guys are clear, clear don't do crosswords.
The hints for the crossword are very simple.
It's like, be quiet.
What's a- Shut up.
Or silence. Or there's a million different synonyms for shut up, and any one of those
can fit there. But you're like, if you only have enough letters for shut up, you would go, okay,
well, it has to be shut up. Now you introduce numbers. But how would a number be-
A five-letter word can be a nine-letter word. How would a number be in shut up?
That's what we're saying. It's petite force.
That has- It's petite force. That has what we're saying. It's petite force.
It's petite force.
It has a number.
Yeah.
But it doesn't have the boxes for it.
Why don't you get it?
I get it. So your frustration is like, hey.
Dad seems to agree with you.
Frustration.
Frustration is agreeing with you.
Your frustration is the letter four.
That's why he threw it. He kept saying the letter four. That's why he
kept saying the letter four.
Here it is. But there were
four boxes for four.
There were two boxes. No, there was one.
One box, four. And then
the end was S.
Oh, they gave you the S. I had to find the S.
That's insanity.
Two boxes left.
Petite's for S. That's insanity. Yeah, so I get that frustration.
Let me make it more frustrating.
If it was just one box- Then it makes sense.
Then it makes sense.
But the two boxes that- No, no, wait, wait, let me get crazier.
But now you know.
Let me get crazier, ready?
So now it's not that crazy.
These make up a skeleton, what is it?
Bones.
I like this. Okay, but what if
it's only three boxes?
B1S.
No one would think that!
That's wild.
No one would think that!
That's not an option, though.
That is what they do now, Alex!
One is in bones.
Exactly, one is in bones.
No, that's not.
No, no, no.
They do it.
You're justified.
That's not.
They do it.
They do it.
They do it.
My bad.
My bad.
It's disgusting.
This is the first time ever he's justified in his stupidity.
First time.
I don't think they want to do that.
That is what they have.
You want to say why force doesn't seem that crazy? Because it's the number four. That makes more sense. B1S is asinine that. That is what they have. You understand why force doesn't seem that crazy?
Because it's the number four.
That makes more sense.
B1S is asinine.
But that's what they do.
Shut down the New York Times.
Shut it down.
If that's what they're doing.
Shut it down.
If that's what they're doing.
I don't think that's what they're doing.
I don't believe they could be that fucking crazy.
These liberal cunts are turning numbers into letters.
I think he made it up.
Nothing has an identity anymore.
There's translators, dude.
There's translators.
Bro. Nah, you justified, bro. There's trans letters. Bro.
Nah, you justified, bro.
I don't believe you, but you justified.
What do you put on a lure to catch a fish?
Feathers.
Worms.
B, eight.
Bait.
They did that.
No, they don't.
They did that.
Two letters.
They did that.
How do you catch a fish?
No, because it's not even eight.
It's E-I-G-H-T. And bait is not even eight is e-i-g-h-t
and bait is not spelled b-e-i-g-h-t i'm progressing the form all right they did one like that too no
they didn't bro i'm telling you i don't even i don't even think let me tell you something
i think he's lying al al let me tell you something right now i swear to god i've never been this
frustrated in my life.
I stopped playing it.
I was like, you got to let me know if letters is in this motherfucker.
All right, wait.
What was worse, this or the guy who put the salad dressing from his keyboard?
Which one was worse?
This is worse.
I would eat that salad daily before I play another crossword
that has fucking numbers in it.
I mean, it just erodes all your confidence.
You're like, there's no way I can guess this.
There's infinite possibilities.
I still don't believe it.
I'm going to spin around.
I don't know what to do here.
Get up the New York Times fucking crossword right now.
Do you have it on your phone?
You're a crossword nerd.
I'm messaging a crossword puzzle constructor for the New York Times fucking crossword right now. Do you have it on your phone? You're a crossword nerd. I'm messaging a crossword puzzle constructor for the New York Times.
He's a magician and enigmatist.
These guys are wild boys.
Tell him.
I said, fuck you, you dumb fuck.
What did you just say?
It's enigmatist.
They're at the Kennedy Center.
I tell him I'm so fucking upset at him for this stupid shit.
Which day did you do it? It was like a Thursday or something like that.
