And Tyler's in the back in David and Jorge.
Actually, no, Eric plays Jorge.
Yeah.
Anyways, by the way, key question, I think we got to,
we were asking everybody here, let's ask the audience as well.
Folks, what did you weigh when you were born?
Kai, very, very important question,
because we're about to reveal what Adam weighed
when he was born.
He just called me right now.
Okay.
And we're about to reveal what Kai was born,
what, wait, and what I wait, okay.
So I say we start off first with,
let's go with you first, on what you wait when you were born.
Adam, you're wait when you were born.
Your mom just said what?
My mom said, dare Adam, six pound eight ounce baby Adam.
Six pounds eight ounce.
Yeah, just like Ricky Bobby.
Were you born on time?
Were you a fully full term 40 weeks?
Do you know what I was full on baby?
Still haven't grown up yet?
There it is.
Check this out, you guys ready?
That aspect, that's the idea.
Let me tell you a few people that just put two kilograms,
8 pounds, 8 pounds, 9 pounds, T-NIC, big boy.
Lloyd Gonzalo 7.24, 7 pounds, D28x was 10 pounds.
Aaron Kalindo was 50 pounds, okay
So we have George 9 pounds. We have a bunch of big babies here by the way
Okay, a bunch of 10 pounders 11 pounders 7 pounder 6 pounders. Kai. What was your weight?
I was 9 pounds 9.2 pounds 9.2 pounds
Yep, and I was a 10.2 pound baby in Iran. That's the biggest baby in Iran
That's gotta be the big baby. That's one of the biggest babies in a 10.2 pound baby in Iran. That's the biggest baby in Iran. That's got to be the biggest baby.
That's one of the biggest babies in Iran.
10.2.
Well, I have a reason why you could be holding a Guinness World Record without knowing it.
There might be a reason why you're so big.
People don't know if they're 6'4.
You got about 1500 vitamins in a case right here that you do every morning.
So one time, one time I was giving a guy asked me a question recently that I had to tease him about it I was standing next to my dad the picture with me in the suns. Did you see me in the kids?
I'm standing with my dad and my boys and you know, I'm taller than my dad
Yeah, so this guy asked how did you get so tall? Okay? It reminded me of a story when I was 25
I was given a
Speech to an audience of 30 or 40 people and this lady in her early 70s comes up to me afterwards.
She says, sir, I've met a lot of Middle Eastern's
and Armenians, but I've never met somebody
with big features like you.
Big features.
She says, why are you so big?
And her husband was right next to her.
And I said, man, in the Assyrian and Armenian culture,
I was breastfetal 18.
So she looks at me.
She says, really, I did not know that.
Her husband says, honey, he's teasing you.
There's no way he was breast-fetal 18.
But she poofy.
Tell me you kept a joke.
I kept a joke.
The guys around me were cracking up.
She left that was a talk of town.
The fact that Pat was breast-fetal 18.
Anyways, but I was not breast fettilating
I was 16 so
Anyways, we got a lot of topics we got a lot of topics to get into today
I feel today is gonna be like a sneaky good episode. Yeah, so by the way. I heard you want to winning
I did go to what it didn't like did you have any kind of those moments when you're sitting there saying I'm gonna prove bad
I You're sitting there saying I'm gonna prove bad rope No, it's not here though. I don't think the audience knows the first. Oh, we made a bed
This is what the bed was I said if Adam who is right now 40 years old and nine months
Yeah, I'll write now give her take I said if he gets married before 43
I want to fund his old wedding. Yeah, right 43, but if he gets married
Yeah, after 43 and one day he owes me a Stefano Richi suit.
Yeah, how much do you...
How much do you...
Not a lot, seven grand.
So that's the deal.
You get married, I want to haul you out of here.
I'll be there.
Is there a two-year minimum?
First of all, it's got plenty of money to be able to buy the suit.
It just doesn't want to buy it for himself.
He's been wanting the same outfit for the last 17 years,
just so he doesn't know that.
Save that money.
I've been breastfed for the last 17 years, it's like that.
Oh my gosh. Okay, but not by the same mom. So for you, it 17 years just like that. Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Okay, but not by the same mom.
So for you, it's a different system that you have.
I've got different moms out there that are willing to accommodate certain breastfeeding
antics.
Okay.
All right.
So somebody just put...
That's a blessed healthcare word.
Caleb, give you love.
Yeah.
You're about to give you love.
Okay.
There we go.
I don't know if you told them to do this or not.
I didn't.
He said, I'll pay 10 grand if you put Kai as co-host for another 20 episodes straight. Need a Viking on the show to keep it in check.
He's Caleb or Regent too? No, he's not. He's a straight, white American. He's white American.
He's white American. Wait for it. Whatever he is. He's going to be here today. Whatever you did,
not the Caleb. Whatever you did for Caleb this weekend, you know, say thank you. Make sure
you send him a text and tell him thank you. Oh, I know. Okay, all right. Pat, how was your weekend?
Anything special? Anything interesting? What happened this weekend? First of all,
this weekend. Did you go certain places? I don't know., this week, did you go certain places? I don't know what did I go tell them?
I don't know. Oh, I see where you go. I don't know. I was out of town. You little bit of a slick Rick is what you're
Little silly trying to do. No, I was at an open-ended question. I was at an event with some political people at
Marlago. We had a good time. We were at the American American first policy institute I was around those guys seen how it was
Met a lot of itayners a lot of interesting folks a guy named Donald was there
I don't know if you heard of him. He was he was there Donald and Adam's a big fan hardcore. Yes, about you of course
Good conversations with
Many different folks who are there most memorable moment for this this. You know, I spoke to the most memorable moment,
spoke to Kelly and Conway, great conversation,
few governors showed up and they said,
hey, we follow all the content,
what you're doing, it's extremely necessary,
what you're doing.
One guy said something very interesting,
probably a 70 year old,
publicist, PR guy from Beverly Hills,
pretty known guy, he says, you know, he comes me, but Jen and I are standing next to each other.
He says, I got to tell you.
He said, uh, I put guys like you and the influencer celebrity, uh, world.
I said, I'm not an influencer.
I'm not trying to be one of these social media.
He says, no, no, I know there's only about handfully, guys, because you're a guy that runs
businesses and you have content.
He says, but there's something very unique about you.
I said, what's that?
He said, he got brass balls.
So that was the most memorable moment of the whole thing.
He got brass balls.
So what he said in front of my wife and I said,
babe, here we go.
And if you were to respond to it, look, I'm unique
because I was breastfed until I was 16.
He would have believed it.
He would have believed it.
But I don't want the truth to get out yet.
I don't want because there are stories written about it.
Actually, there's nobody less in this.
No, no, no.
The woke mob's gonna come after me and say,
you should have been breastfed until 30. Canceled DVD. Okay. You're all familiar with so long. Are we ready? Are we ready?
Can we get into it? Okay, let's have some fun with this one here. First of all, we got a lot of stories.
Okay. Travis Scott's story we got to touch on what happened. It's a travesty what happened. It's
I have a lot of thoughts on it. I'm sure you do as well. You've been to a lot of concerts, a lot of
parties. So I'm curious to your take Jeff Bezos responds to the viral viral clip of Lauren Sanchez and Leo. There was some flirting going on there
So he's got some comments on that

And more than anything else, Bitcoin and Ethereum
apparently hit record-breaking highs yesterday.
There's a lot of talk on what's going on there
and what direction things are going.
But I said, let's get right into it. And we we'll let's just go right into the Travis Scott story.
Okay.
Is what we should do.
Okay.
All right.
So it's page one for Travis Scott.
Travis Scott sued over predictable and preventable astroworld tragedy, a spin story.
He's been sued by a concert goer who was injured during the astroworld tragedy on Friday
night, which left eight people dead and 300 more injured in the suit Manuel Soza, father lawsuit against Travis
Scott himself as an organizer, score more, and concert behemoth live nation claiming the
deadly disaster was predictable and preventable, or motivation for profit at expensive concert
goers, healthy and safety and the encouragement of violence. A second suit was filed by Christine Perredis, the suit named Travis Scott and Drake as
defendants and are accused of negligence.
It alleges that Drake came on stage alongside Travis Scott and helped inside the crowd.
And the crowd became chaotic and Stampede began leaving eight dead and dozens injured.
Kristen Perredis severely injured.
The devastating incident occurred when a large
portion of the festival, 50,000-person crowd, attempted to rush to the front of the stage
during Scott's headlining, set all at once, resulting in fans crushing each other.
And the story continues. It's a lot more than that, by the way, on how a security guard
was injected when he was trying to help somebody. And he passed that they took him in.
Apparently the needle had a 30 said that they watched
the video interview witness and review
constip protocol.
So determined that eight people that have used them.
As soon as he jumped off the stage,
it was like an energy took over and everything.
But there's a story, it was Narcan is what was in it.
It was revived by the opioid antidote Narcan.
And then at the same time, Travis
got performed for in the additional 37 minutes after that took place. So there's a lot of different
things. I have some numbers that I want to share and then I'll get your thoughts on this because
I'm curious to know what you guys think about this. So here's the number one question. Who is
held accountable for this? Because this is another one of those similar situations as what happened
with Alec Baldwin. and he's the producer.
If you're the executive producer, you're in charge. Astral World, that's his product.
So you're held accountable. Now a few things. Number one,
Rolling Stones experienced this when a fan died in 1969 at a concert and that became something that everybody kept bringing it up.
Bringing up. The place where they did a lot of people said that it didn't have capacity, this place can fit 200,000 people and there was only 50,000. So it's not like it was a
capacity problem. When they say how many people were working there, there was 528 total officers,
police officers, morning day shift and night shift, 528 total, the day shift people were
working overtime and it had 755 security officers, whether that's high or low, that's a lot of people that they had working there, right?
Fans who were nurses were coming out
and helping out because they didn't have enough,
people were being dropped,
I don't know if you saw that video
with people being dropped.
And then on top of that, 25 arrests,
you see things like this happening at concerts,
but not at this level,
the part that's very disturbing is the fact
that after the crowd is screaming,
you go for another 37 minutes.
Did they know?
Did they not know?
Who knows at this point of the game?
What are your thoughts about what happened?
No, obviously it's a travesty on that.
And there's no doubt about it.
And we've all seen videos from the crowd, people screaming, people saying stop.
I think the interesting part is definitely the last part that you mentioned where they went on for the show after it was declared a mass casualty
declaration and some say like obviously his girlfriend as a Kylie Jenner came out
and said obviously we didn't know we didn't know until afterwards but somebody
must have known and that's I think just a failure of communication or why they
wouldn't let it go up the chain
so that he can find out so they could stop it.
And even when I heard there was an ambulance driving
through the crowd as well,
and people were hopping on it, like that's just insane.
Like, there's no sense of reasonable,
and obviously at that point you're seeing something's up.
Like, an ambulance just doesn't go through the crowd
for no reason.
So I definitely think that there's a lack of a lot of failure points there.
I'm on the other side though, I don't think that too much is going to come out of the
lawsuits.
I'm sure they'll get some sort of compensation for it, but beyond that, I don't see it being
anything big.
I just hope this could be more of a lesson for anything like this in the future as well.
Well, I think there's going to be some big stuff that's gonna happen here.
This isn't just one person down.
This is a mass casualty event.
So let me paint a picture for you.
When's the last time that you were at a concert,
even remotely this insane?
Two years ago.
Where we're remotely this.
Yes, no.
This wow, like you haven't been in a concert like this.
No.
Probably in years, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
More than a decade.
You've never been to a Travis Scott concert or a hip hop concert in years, right? Yeah, okay. More than a decade. You've never been to a Travis concert or a hip hop concert
in years, rolling loud, anything.
Have you been anything like this recently?
No.
Okay, so I've been to a bunch of these.
Again, living downtown Miami, rolling loud is here
every year, I know the co-founders of rolling loud,
buddies of mine lived in my building.
And like I know these people that put these events on.
It goes a lot of work that goes on to these events.
I've seen Travis Scott in concert probably three or four times.
And they've been, one was in Okachobi, Florida,
which is sort of like a, it's a little more of a hippie.
What's the audience?
The 304 you've been to is it all 50K, 25K big numbers?
No, no, no, one was at the Miami-Head Arena,
which is not the, yeah.
Kind of 50K, 17K.
I'm the exact, it wasn't that crazy,
but I've been to one event at Rolling Loud
where he performed that it gets wild. I was just at Rolling Loud, we filmed, David, when did we film that crazy, but I've been to one event at Rolling Loud where he performed that it gets wild
I was just a rolling line. We filmed David. When did we film that June July? Yeah, okay
So here's what you need to know about Travis Scott and and for the record
He's probably one of my favorite rappers out there and the reason why this happened at an event like this and
a performer like this is that he
like this and a performer like this is that he relishes getting the crowd hype or as he's literally coined lit like he's probably the one that has made it's lit famous more
than everybody now everybody talks about it's lit it's lit that was Travis Scott.
So the point is this he has music and songs and the way that he does his show that gets the people hype like no
other. So basically what happened was, you know, he's from Houston. This was his event.
It's not like it was just a random pop in like Drake popped into this event to sing one
song. They have a song together called sicko mode that people literally go sicko mode on. The mayor, the
police chief know him personally. Again, he's from Houston. Apparently, they had a conversation
with him before the event. They were like, look, we know that crowds in your world go wild.
Just be mindful of that before the event. Did you see what happened prior to the event?
The same Pete. People have never seen anything like that. before the event. Did you see what happened prior to the event, like before? Before the Stampeed.
You've never seen anything like that.
They're all the Stampeeders in St. Over.
Yeah.
That's set the tone for this event.
Yeah.
Hundreds and hundreds of people,
not just sneaking in, crushing Stampeeding
through Gates, Stampeeding through Security,
it was insane.
Apparently, he tweeted before, like,
let's get, let's get Raid.
Let's get the let's get rage,
let's get the rage, I want the rage,
I want the wild people to be here.
Tiffany or friend Tiffany does social media.
She's, you know, how often does she get into these stories?
She's been so upset for the last, you know,
days that I've seen her.
She's like, I'm so upset at this person
because she's been to events like this
and it's so easy to, for this something that happened because here's been to events like this and it's so easy to for this
something to happen because here's the deal. The person that holds the mic has
the power. The person that holds the mic has control. If you want the crowd to
get crazy wild lit rage that you can do that. That's the power of the mic.
There's like this is powerful what we're talking to. On the flip side, if you
want the crowd to chill out, back up, calm down, you can also do that. There's like this is powerful what we're talking to on the flip side if you want the crowd to chill out back up calm down
You can also do that. There's been events like rolling loud where there's been a musical guest like ASAP Rocky
That's is trending right now where they've given an example of there's mosh pits are people going crazy
There's you know getting hype getting lit and he goes everybody
There's a girl on the floor stop stop the show, stop the show,
the show pauses, give it five minutes, get things regrouped. In the middle of all this, this is probably the saddest thing,
while people were literally dying, getting stampeded, getting run over,
he kept performing. There's a viral video of a girl climbing onto the stage, yelling, stop the show. There's a gentleman who could after her.
Like people were aware of this.
So you asked the initial question,
who's liable here?
Number one, this is a live nation event.
That's I Heart Media.
They're gonna have some prices to pay, right?
Travis Scott, the person that,
this is Astral World, this is his event.
There's gonna be some prices to pay.
The promoters, the lack of security, the crowd control.
Eight plus people, we don't know people are injured eight people have died okay this is I mean the last
event that I remember some 11 people cardiac arrest I mean cardiac arrest
at a concert especially for young people yeah people are getting height man and
it's like this is also people probably don't want to address this is also on the
crowd this is also on the crowd with you, like I've been in events like this
when the crowd is getting crazy, David,
when we were filming it rolling loud,
I said, let's get out of here, bro.
This is getting a little too wild.
We had camera equipment.
We remember we said, let's stay turns the back.
Yeah, absolutely.
People are getting wild.
So when you have people on the floor,
people are being stampeded,
but people are wasted, drugged out, whatever they are,
there's an a festival. Things like this happen.
You have to be aware of your fellow man and fellow woman.
And if there's someone on the ground, you can't just like, oh, good luck, buddy.
So hopefully this is a wake up call.
And when you're out there, you're parting.
You got a party responsibly.
But the end of the day, the person with the mic is Travis Scott, and he's going to be
held accountable.
You have something there?
I was trying to send you a file.
Here's what I did.
OK, you can't get it.
I pulled up 11 of the deadliest concert disasters
in recent history.
This is a November 8th article.
I don't know if you got that or not.
What is that background noise, by the way?
There's a little bit of static.
11 of the deadliest?
Yeah, deadliest concerts.
Go to it.
The last concert that I remember that was this tragic
was the Ariadah Grande. But that was this tragic was the Ariana Grande.
But that was a shoot. Click on that one. That's the one. Click on that one. Click on that one.
So let's go down to this. Okay. Asteroid. Eight. Dead. At a 50K. Rockslight festival in Denmark. Nine.
This was in 2020. Is that a shooter as well? No Nine men were killed that pro gem concert will rush to the stage and those in the front collapsed
Okay, number nine the who at Cincinnati Riverfront in 1979 11 death
11 people died more than 18,000 tickets were sold at the who's concert in Cincinnati Riverfront and they were only 25
Twins oh my 25 police officers a lot of for the crowd control
and they set to begin at 8 p.m.
but the doors were still closed at 7.45.
When an anxious crowd, here in the who's warm up
and mistaken for opening numbers,
search towards the door general mission,
seating made up 80% to take it.
So okay, next one is a Mawa Zain festival in Morocco,
11 died, 9 day Info Zain was meant
to promote reputation of Morocco.
Next one is what Love Parade, Germany in 2010, 21.
Keep going, Ghost Ship Fire, Oakland, California,
36, this is in 2016.
Indiana State Fair College, stage collapse.
So this is a collapse, this is a different instance.
56, Santica Night Club Fire, Okay, that's a fire in Thailand in
2,900 station nightclub fire 100. That's in Rhode Island. Oh three Beverly Hills superclub fire 165 that's
Southgate Kentucky 1977 and then chrome-known fire
194 but these are different reasons
Yes, so it would up because the first four are fires.
So let me ask you this, let me ask you this at them.
How many times have you gone to a club,
where you've seen guys passed out on the side
and they're on G or they're drunk
and they're just completely gone, right?
That's all the time when you go to a club.
Every time you go out, you're gonna see someone
who just is messed up.
Okay, so for the people that go to parties a lot
and they see that, to them,
it's what? Just another guy that's messed up, that's gone, right? I don't think too many people
over think that. Oh, that's right. I wonder who saw that and is thinking, hey, that's how
much it's going on. The difference is, nobody's sitting down. There's not a couch. There's not like
you're sitting by a lounge area. The guy's on the ground. There's stamp, stomping over this guy.
One girl says I was holding him. I was telling people to stop.
They couldn't hear me.
The place was so loud, she's crying and tears saying,
people couldn't stop.
And I remember when he died, he was,
he died in my arm.
It's just a 20 year old kid.
Girl, let's tell him these stories.
So it's tragic what happens.
The only thing is, when you see something like this,
is what can you do to prevent this?
So go to preventative measures.
How do you prevent these things from happening again?
Is it more security?
The bigger claim was the fact that there was not enough nurses.
The biggest fact was that they see an interview,
the girl that was there with her boyfriend who says I wasn't drunk.
I was totally fine.
I was sober.
I felt like I was dying.
I felt like I was having a hard attack.
He says I was in the middle.
I told my boyfriend I want to get out here.
I can't even breathe anymore. I don't know if you saw that interview or not. And felt like I was having a hard attack. He says, I was in the middle. I told my boyfriend I want to get out here. I can't even breathe anymore.
I don't know if you saw that interview or not.
And then she says, I go to the back.
They're giving me a bottle of water.
Three people are passed out.
I go and check their pulse.
I said, I got to go to the hospital.
I think he's dead because he doesn't have a pulse.
And she says, I'm a nurse.
They were calling everybody because they didn't have enough
people that were there.
So to me, everything is fine.
The lawsuits are going to come out.
It ain't going to stop. This is not
going to be pretty for live nation or himself. I think Drake's probably going to be left alone because
soon Drake, if Drake's not an astroworld world, does he own the brand? That's not his brand, right?
They want to throw his name in there. He's just a pain. He's just doing what he's doing. He was a
performer, I think, for one song. Yeah, but at the but Travis Scott's
going to be held accountable. Live nation's going to be held accountable. They're trying to hold
the cops accountable. I think the chief came out and talked yesterday. He says I gave the numbers
incorrectly. He says we are very good at doing these things. He said the media is saying that we
were not prepared for it. That is that is not true. We were fully prepared for this. These sorts of
things is tragic. The only people that are struggling right now,
the most are the parents or the family that lost it.
So they're trying to mitigate the situation, but it's not a pretty sight.
The only thing I think about, what do you do to prevent this in the future?
Yeah, well, here I'll be paying a picture for you, because again, I've been to multiple festivals like this.
Sometimes I cover them for value payments. Sometimes I just go.
There's more than one stage usually at these big events. again, I've been to multiple festivals like this. Sometimes I cover them for value payments. Sometimes I just go.
There's more than one stage usually at these big events. So there's the main stage,
which I assume he was performing at at his concert.
And then there's gonna be maybe another one or two,
ancillary stages, right?
That's not the main stage.
So what happens is they'll have different events
staggered throughout. So at the main stages. So what happens is they'll have different events staggered
throughout. So at state, the main stage, the Astro World stage, Travis goes on at 930. There's
another artist over on that side of the event that goes on at 830. There's another event that goes
on over here. He's on at 820. So there's these staggered events, right? And basically what happens is
once the event that you're at, let's say you're listening to little nozzles over here,
I'm just putting it on out,
I don't know how to even show he was there,
I'm just using an example.
His set ends at 8.55.
Travis Scott starts at 9.
Everyone's aware, soon as this is over,
get your ass to Travis Scott,
everyone's there to see that.
So the crowd moves from here and rushes over here.
And there's no assigned seating. It's just
get in where you fit in. So if you have 50,000 people, if let's say you have
20,000 that are already at the Travis God stage and you've got another 20,000
rushing over, it just becomes slammed, trample, moving on. So you ask preventative,
I don't know how you prevent 20,000 people
from scrambling this way.
There needs to be a way that's,
there's people that, this is their job, right?
Crowd control, systematic approach,
these types of events.
But a lot of time it is chaos.
I've been there moving from crowd to crowd.
Remember when we went from one stage to the,
this was, we were at the event where the baby
made those those at Rolling
Loud those homophobic references. We were there. We said this is getting it's insane.
We actually left right before that. But I don't know how you control 20,000
math like think about 20,000 people coming into a basketball game. They got to go
through turn styles. They got to go through security. Yeah. These are people that
are already in there and just are free to move about. It's,
it is controlled chaos. And if you're not head on a swivel awake, you know, completely
understanding your surroundings, you full on can get trampled on. And then when everyone's
moving towards the stage, because everyone wants to obviously get as close as possible
to stage, if you're at the front of the crowd near the stage,
you, I don't know how you're gonna get back out that way.
And that's, so like you saw the video of the ambulance
trying to get through,
how the hell does an ambulance get through there?
And then when you're in the middle of Travis Scott music,
whether it's sicko mode or butterfly effect or goose bumps,
like the guys got some bangin' music.
People are getting wild,
and now you have an ambulance coming through.
You see that, you're jumping on top of the ambulance.
You're not thinkin' clearly.
So there's gonna need, this might reshape how concerts are done.
Give me the order of responsibility, okay?
So you made a very good point.
Number one, whoever is in charge of the concert
controls a point of contact, okay? Live nation. So number concert Controlls a point of contact, okay live nation. I don't know if his live nation is number one Travis Scott to stop and say guys
Let's get help for this is he number one. Well, I don't know if he's number one. I'd say also a big thing for me would be some sort of like the management team
Like if we think of that devolved right you're a devolved you're kind of doing your thing and you're talking
You're in your own headspace at that point, right?
You're doing your thing,
but it should be somebody behind the scenes
who pulls and says, headpat, like, here's a note
or something, like something's going on here.
That's for to me.
That's a very good point.
It's a very good point.
That's a good point for somebody to communicate.
So then the question becomes,
did somebody communicate to him to say,
hey, eight people are down?
Did someone communicate that?
I don't know where they did.
So if they did, it did.
It's my may.
Yeah.
If Patrick sees an ambulance in the middle of the crowd,
I mean, you stop it.
He clearly saw the ambulance.
There's no way you can't see it.
That's true.
So he chose to go on.
So to me, like I've ran events as large as 10,000 people
at a gym grand, right?
Where you see what's going on.
You have to be aware of what's going on and a big way I remember we do events and
Guys would come the night before and sleep in front two thousand people would be lined up and plan
Hotel would say you guys can't do this anymore and it would be stampede
So we have to slow everything down because a couple times people would run and people fell
Yeah, one guy even bumped into my dad and my dad almost fell, you know security came and said you know
You're that almost fell so people were running through.
They didn't know what's your dad.
So I think there's a part of that where crowd control running, man, that is very dangerous
when you do that.
That's number one protocol change.
Number two would be, I don't know, man, if you're on the stage and you're seeing this
as happen, if you pause and he said, guys, everybody pause, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
boom, go there.
Okay.
Apparently he did say he saw someone
I guess to his left if he was on stage. He said somebody's passed out get him up whatever. Yeah
Unbeknownst to him. It was a lot worse than when someone passed out. You got 37 minutes
For somebody to say do yes a person's not breathing. No chill out
You mean 37 minutes someone cannot communicate that to you?
That's where the huge failure is.
It's understanding, I think here's the bottom line.
It's understanding the big picture ramifications
of this event, because this event is gonna be here today
gone tomorrow.
But while you're in the moment, the crowd is hype.
You're on stage, you're feeling the effect,
the performance, you got all the fields going on right now.
I mean, imagine if you're on stage 50,000 people
are chanting your name, you're feeling some type of way, right?
You have to have the ability to say, guys, pause,
give it five minutes, back up.
Again, the person with the mic has the power
and he had the power to stop this
and unfortunately he didn't.
Well, we'll see what's gonna happen
because these things are moving fairly quickly
right now, every day you're hearing something new about it.
TMZ had this story about the guy getting poked
in a neck, the security guard.
The security guard, yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna see where this is gonna go.
Somebody said they were spreading COVID shots
and all this stuff, you know,
there was a lot of conspiracies that had come out of it.
I don't get all that.
I mean, I've been to many festivals.
I think those are just like ancillary rannes up.
So let's not forget the main thing is that people died while trying to have a good time.
This wasn't like a stage that fell.
This wasn't a fire.
Yeah.
This was people.
This is the last thing we need is people fearing another reason to go to a live event
to be around each other.
Like the last thing you need to have another thing added to it.
Go ahead Tyler.
Well just real quick, you know, this reminds me a lot
of Black Friday on a much bigger scale.
Like when everybody was rushing in the door at Black Friday,
but that stopped because you can do online shopping now.
So there's been a lot of talk about the metaverse.
How long, and does this lead credence to the idea
of people to slap on an Oculus,
and they go to a live event through their,
or not a live event, but a concert
through their virtual reality in the metaverse
where they can dress up as their character,
disset in the other.
It's like, does this speed that up at all?
And how does this change, you know,
live events going forward?
I think that's a good point,
but look, I think live events,
people have been yearning to get the hell out there
and have a good time.
I don't see that happening anytime soon, especially with the limited access we've had to live events that people have been yearning to get the hell out there. Yeah. I don't see that happening anytime soon, especially with the limited,
the limited access we've had to live events.
Like people are probably craving it more now than ever.
But interestingly enough, there's a correlation here too though.
If you think about it, with all the aggression and sports and view
and people have been watching going to live events and sports and the fights and crowds.
You mean, yeah, kind of like there might be some correlation here to, uh, to crowds. It's almost like people haven't been able to leave the house for crowds you know. Yes, yes. Kind of like there might be some correlation here to crowds.
It's almost like people haven't been able to leave the house
for the last year and half an hour to be hacked.
Yeah, they don't know how to behave.
On another note, the Kardashian-Jenner clan,
they're gonna get some hate and assaults.
No, I don't know about this,
they're gonna get a lot of hate
because they were there, Kendall was there,
Kylie was there, they were in the VIP section,
they were, you know, Snapchat and doing Insta Stories.
She Kylie had a mask on or something.
Yeah, mask on.
I mean, look, that's where they should have been.
I don't think it's any wrong with that.
See anything, but there's an ambulance in her Instagram story.
So, like she said, I wasn't aware,
but there's an ambulance in her story.
So it's like, well, you were. But there's a difference between getting criticism,
there's a difference between being getting sued, there's a difference between knowing
somebody love is no longer here anymore. So there's levels to the kind of pain you're gonna go through.
Believe me, they would gladly change their exchange, exchange their current struggles of being
hated on or somebody else. I feel for the parents of the teenagers and 20 something year old kids that said, hey,
mom, I'm going out to the concert.
All right, have fun.
Call me when you're done.
And there was no call.
I saw a footage of a brother saying, my brother is no longer here with me.
That's what it is.
That was, I listened to this kid crying.
It was so painful.
Anyways, our condolences go that to the entire family of those who lost their loved one at this concert.
Prayers go that to your family. Okay, so a next story, best life. Let me see what story I want to go to next.
I want to go to the story next. Let's go to Buffett story next. We'll do that very brief. So Buffett, Warren Buffett,
page four, Buffett's cash pile tops record with $149.2 billion on hand.
This is a Bloomberg story.
He's never had this kind of money in cash.
Serpacity and a record set in early 2020.
The fresh, high came even after Buffett ports more money into buying back its own stock
at $7.6 billion a repurchases in that period.
The third highest tally since the board changes policy to buybacks in 2018.
Buffett has struggled with a high class problem of having too much money in
Berkshire's pockets and not enough chances to put that to work in higher returns
as returning assets with no major deal in recent quarters.
Berkshire Hathaway CEO has currently frequently turned to buybacks as one way to
deploy the cash
Cash how do you pronounce that word Adam D.E.L
Usually the loose but even with the heightened level of buybacks during the third quarter
Wasn't enough to keep Berkshire's coffers from swelling so there's there's criticism from both sides right now because there's one side that saying
You know the whole thing
When you buy mutual funds, they said,
if you would have missed the last 40 best days,
market days, instead of having a 12.8% return,
you would have been at 6.8.
If you would have missed the top 20
and then to keep giving you these numbers here.
If you missed the five best days of trading,
you would have your returns are going from 20 to eight.
He missed a lot of good days.
Especially with COVID. He missed a lot of good days, especially with COVID.
He missed a lot of good days.
A lot of money was made every time these guys printed money.
He lost a lot of money.
Okay, there's a lot of people, again, we talked about this before, this is not the first
time we're talking about.
This people are that are saying Buffett is losing his touch.
He is no longer connected with what's going on today with crypto,
Ethereum, Bitcoin, AI, technology software, the direction things are going,
but at the same time, you can never underestimate a Buffet.
This guy's been around for a long, long time.
He's not been around for 10 years, not 20 years, not 30 years.
This guy's been doing this for 60 plus years, nearly 70 years he's been doing this, okay?
So, does he know something the rest of the population doesn't know?
Is he expecting there to be a massive drop-off for him to go out there and buy things for sale?
I don't know.
Why would you sit on cash for this long and your name is Warren Buffett?
There's got to be a reason behind it.
So, speculation, is he expecting a major drop-off?
We'll see what's gonna happen, Adam.
So how much of this has to do with stimulus being printed?
You did a post the other day about how the money
will flow to the top, it always does.
And because poor people, they just pay their rent
or maybe they pay their bills,
they don't know what to do with that the money,
so they just spend it.
So the money flows to the top.
I know you have strong feelings on this.
So I guess, why so, how did he acquire,
you're saying that he's been on the sidelines
this entire time?
He's been on the sidelines for quite a while.
Meaning he hasn't been, I know he was,
he's shorted the, he sold his airlines stock.
He 10, 10, 10, 9%.
He owned the top four airlines.
He sold it all.
If he would have stayed there,
that cost him a lot of money.
Yeah, he'd love it.
He loved it a lot. When he sold it at the bottom, it's 10x. Since then. Since then.
He's just been in cash since then. He's been in cash and you know, cash is accumulating, but he's
just been in cash. So why would you be in cash? And by the way, you know the whole thing when
cash is king, cash is not king. Yeah. Okay. When you're broke and you have no money, cash is king.
Of course. When you're worth a hundred billion dollars cash is not king that money's got to work for you
So that cash has not worked the last 12 months, right?
What it's not that
But mathematically mathematically the more you print money
Mathematically everything flows to the top it flows to you. So what he's doing
The only the only conclusion I have
on why he would do such a thing is he fully believes
something catastrophic is about to happen to the market.
I also think there's one other aspect to that.
I think that he has, he's such an old school investor
in the way he does value investing
and it's buying anything.
It's overpriced.
It's like kind of like you were saying
when you were trying to negotiate on a house,
in today's market, you simply can't,
because it's so chaotic.
So for him, it's like, instead of negotiating,
I'm gonna wait until it's undervalued
or I can get it at a good price,
and that opportunity just hasn't been around.
So I think between the, what's going on with the economy
is such a anomaly in terms of,
it's just with printing the money and like
It's so insane how it dived dove and then went straight back up again
I think that for him he is more on trends and what's in the past and these trends don't match the past and therefore
He's he's not a gambler so he's gonna take a step back
I mean he did close his and his first investment company during a time of, so he's gonna take a step back. I mean, he did close his first investment company
during a time of turbulence where he was like,
he basically told the shareholders,
I'm giving you back your money,
you've received a X amount of return,
and for me, I don't understand the market,
and I don't wanna do, I don't wanna gamble,
so here's your money.
And then he started back up again a couple years later
when it was more kind of returned to normalcy.
So I think there's an aspect of that too,
where he's playing and investing in what he knows
and the market that's currently going on,
he simply doesn't know.
So what I'd like to see in a situation like this
is where he then has some of the younger people there
who are in the crypto market
who are learning and understanding NFTs
and giving them a certain number of the billions of dollars
and like, here's 10 billion, here's 100 billion.
Go play ball.
Go do something.
See what you can make with this.
As opposed to just sitting on the cash
and just waiting for it to catch up or let inflation catch up.
I think you bring up a good point with the value investing.
That's been his entire, you know, M.O.
his entire career is that he's gonna sit and wait
and wait for the right opportunity.
He's not eager to just pump money into the market
for the sake of saying, yeah, I'm investing.
So that's the whole concept of what he's doing.
He's kind of almost like an old school tiger
that just sits there and waits the pounds.
Something that I think Warren Buffett,
and I'm not here to critique Warren Buffett at all,
but something that I think he's probably doing low key,
but for whatever reason it's not in the tablets
or the headlines, is he does need to empower
some younger people to manifest what exactly
Berkshire is gonna look like, when Charlie Munger,
who's probably like 125 years old at this point,
and Warren Buffett, who's in his mid 90s,
I would assume, no longer here, calling the shots.
There's gonna need to be some,
whether they're, when I say younger people,
can we talk to people in their 60s?
They're gonna start taking on a little bit more risk
and putting this capital to work.
But that is,
the other thing that's interesting is that
like 90% of his wealth was made in like 10 investments.
Coca-Cola, Apple, Dicol.
So for him, it's nothing new that he has
long periods of doing nothing and then short
spurts of doing a lot of buys and stuff like that.
Look, the difference between the world he's in and an athlete.
An athlete eventually, father time comes and you say, I can no longer kick it with these
young guys.
Right.
Is there father time as a investor?
Is there father time for that?
I don't know about that.
I don't know. The mention is there father time for that? I don't know about that. I don't know.
The mention is the only thing, right?
What is father time when it comes down
to the go to investing if you think about it?
So, you know, he is known, when you're at that level,
you are known to trust your gut instinct.
But stuff is changing so quickly today.
It's not like it's changing.
If you were to look at what's changing quickly in a history of mankind, after the announcement, the Zuck made last week, everybody's panicking
about how quickly things are going to change, how quickly things are going to go. But I want to
show you this article. Can you go to my Twitter account please? So just yesterday, MSNBC at around 318,
tweets out and they change it immediately, they deleted it after the amount of hate they got
They took it down and they change it go down a little bit further down go go you'll see it you'll see it keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going
Wait did they take you down okay go to my Facebook account
I don't think they took it down maybe go to my Facebook profile
I'll try to send this picture over to you if you...
Let me see this here.
Okay, matter of fact, let me just send it to you
and away for you to see this.
You can air drop it to the computer.
Which computer is it?
Macbook Pro.
Macbook here. See which one you want to air drop it to?
Just go to... not this one.
Here, we'll find it here for you.
Just air drop it to its computer.
Hmm. Why is it not poppin' up? drop it to his computer. Hmm, why is it not popping up?
You want to just text a tomb?
Anyways, yesterday MSNBC comes out with a story.
Are you doing that or no?
Yeah, I'm trying to see.
Comes out with a story saying the fact that,
okay, this is the article, keep this article,
they changed it to this.
Are you able to get a tomb or no?
I don't think so.
Tyler, I'm gonna email it to you.
How about this?
Because this is not going to make sense if I don't email it to you.
And the audience doesn't see this.
Cinete Info.
Info Advaitaiman.
OK.
So this is the ultimate gaslighting type of stuff.
OK, it's sent.
Let me know when you have it.
OK. Let me know when you have it. Okay, let me know when you have it if you go to your email.
Okay, click on that, open it up.
Open it up, see if you can click on it for it to open up,
like for people to see it.
Why the inflation we're seeing now is a good thing.
That's the title.
Just open it up just click on it to
Know what I'm trying to tell you is click on it for to be an image
You click on it twice. It's not doing anything. Well, let me just read it then. Let me just read it then
This is go down to show what time this was go down to show okay 318
November 8th, yesterday,
the article says the following, the tweet, go a little higher so they can see the logo
at the top of MSNBC, MSNBC tweets out, why the inflation we're seeing now is a good thing.
Okay, now you tell me how the hell that makes any sense.
Why the inflation we're seeing now is a good thing.
So don't worry about American people, It's okay that we're having inflation
They immediately change the title. They delete this tweet this tweet is deleted go to the go to the article that I sent you
Which is green shot it. Yeah, of course I did so they said how COVID became the unlikely hero of our inflation crisis the case for not panic
Not painting the inflation we're seeing now as mysterious disastrous
affliction that's descended on the economy.
Go a little lower for us to read the article in regards to inflation.
Inflation hawks have been telling scary stories about the impending inflation ever since
the Federal Reserve slash interest rates to nearly zero during the financial crisis of
2008-2002.
That message that much of the media has been happy to spread, epitomize by an odd segment about rising food prices that CNN ran last week, that segment was supposed to
show in the words of a much mock tweet promoting it, how badly inflation is hitting the middle
class.
But instead of looking at a typical size middle class American family, focus on a Texas
family with nine kids, one that buys 12 gallons of milk a week in the process, that the
segment succumb to succumb to.
Anyways, they go into this whole thing,
the increase in footing gas prices that we've seen
over the past eight months is real.
And meaning for inflation hawks have been telling scary stories
and impending inflation over its ever since.
For once, they're not making things up.
Inflation is now running a little more than 5%
driving, largely by energy prices.
So they completely changed the article
from what it was before, okay?
Because they realized people were saying
what the hell are you talking about
in regards to inflation?
So here's the point.
The reality of it is,
people are sitting on the sidelines today.
When they wake up, they watch three different channels
for news.
What are the three channels they go to for?
You got Foxy and NMS.
You got Foxy and NMSNBC, okay? Maybe they go to CBS, maybe they go to NBC, maybe they go to ABC? Fox CNN, MSNBC. You got Fox CNN, NMS, NBC.
Okay, maybe they go to CBS, maybe they go to NBC,
maybe they go to ABC, maybe they go some of the stuff.
This is gaslighting at the highest level to convince people, listen,
this is normal.
It's supposed to happen.
No, this is a byproduct of you constantly printing money.
And eventually, shit's gonna hit the fan.
Historically, we've never had interest rates as low as we've had for 13 straight years.
You can't do this and fake it for this long.
Eventually, you have to get it back up to normal
when they do.
Maybe this is why Buffett's sitting on that much cash.
I don't know.
Maybe Buffett's sitting there saying,
hey, but my thing is when you're looking at dollar,
anytime the government and the Fed's printing,
you definitely don't stay cash.
That's the caveat.
Look, like, you know, when the biggest fears
were baseball cards, the following thing.
Here's what baseball card collectors will say.
They'll say things like, like,
let's just say the Wayne Gretzky PSA 10 card, right?
The guy who sold me the Wayne Gretzky PSA 10 card,
when he bought it, there was only one Wayne Gretzky PSA 10 card.
So watch this.
When he bought it, there was only one Wayne Gretzky PSA 10 card. So watch this when he bought it. There was only one a year after he owned it
Another Gretzky PS
The OPG got graded PSA 10 so in his mind he said this car is no longer word 540. It's now worth $300,000
Yeah, his worry was because there's now two PSA 10's so he saw me the card
Anyways, I ended up selling the car for a couple million dollars
But the point is the the sporting card market fears another card getting graded high. The value goes lower.
Yeah, so it's divided by more cards. But the point is the more they're printing, the
more they're printing, you supply. Yeah, so it's kind of confusing what Buffett is doing.
There's a bit of it that's confusing, but we'll see what's going to happen with this.
Where's Buffett on your list of people you would want to
interview? Was he in the top 10? I think the very rarely do you find a guy that's
that smart, that brilliant, that much of a genius who's a comedian. Very rarely
do you find people like that. He's that fascinating. To be that smart and that
funny and that charismatic and that great of a salesperson, you have to realize,
look, look at Jeff Bezos, how funny you see.
Not at all.
How charming you see.
Not too much.
How charismatic you see.
Not charismatic.
To an extent within his vision,
but he's, outside of that, he's like,
I'm working on it.
You're just trying to be nice to the guy.
There's nothing about him that's charismatic.
He's smart to carry an Amazon account for free.
There's nothing about him that's charismatic, right's nothing about him that cares about it, right?
Name me a person that that much of a genius
who's a great salesperson, who's charismatic,
who's tough, who makes people laugh.
I think the only two people I would put in that category
is him and Musk.
It's very random to find people like that.
Zach's not in that category.
These guys are renommalies.
What's my guy at Salesforce?
What's his name?
Benihoff?
Jack Benihoff, is that his first name?
Mark Benihoff.
Mark Benihoff.
That guy's got some swag to him, I want to say.
At Buffett's level?
No.
I don't know if you would call Buffett Swaggy,
but he's certainly got humor.
There's no way you don't give Buffett swag.
You got it, you're giving him swag.
Buffett's got swag, man.
Well, here's what I'll say about Buffett.
And this is maybe a lesson to all the grandparents out there.
You ask like, what could bring him down dementia
all the time or something like that?
There's something to be said about, he's not retiring.
He's kept going.
He's not like, he's 75, time to retire.
He's just keeping it going, keeping it moving,
keeping the mind sharp. And you know, they say that. He's just keeping it going, keeping it moving, keeping the mind sharp.
And you know, they say that when you retire
and you do nothing, that's when the mind starts to go.
The guy is as active as ever.
And it's not like he's some physical fitness guru.
The guy eats McDonald's everyday for breakfast.
He's probably could use a few pounds,
but the brain is so frickin sharp
that that's probably explains why he's not.
It's one of the same father time.
There's certain games you play that father time doesn't come challenging think about
sports you have a lifespan yeah challenging part about anything that has to do
with that but the brain yeah something with this this is 60 years can you
imagine if athletes could have a six-year career lifespan think about that
because he is essentially an athlete that's played for 60, 70 years.
And the only thing with Brady is like, he has such a good body, but also game awareness
that he's been playing so long and he understands the way things move and stuff like that, which
is possibly why he's having such an advantage he is.
And to imagine to do that for another 20 years, I mean, that's crazy.
Well, you know, we talked about this with Scottie Pippen, like you need to have a second act if you're in sports, right? As amazing as your career
may go, it's going to be over by age 40. A lot of times earlier than that. Like the oldest
is 40. I mean, Brady, the fact that he's still doing it at 40. Brady wants to go to 50 by
the way. We'll see about that. But the point is, I think Warren Buffett made 90% of his money after age 60,
something ridiculous like that. So whether you're used to athlete analogy, if you're an athlete,
it's important to reinvent yourself. But if you're going to be in the investment world
in the business world, there's no end to sight. Guy reads four hours a day. This is not
an arrogant cocky billionaire. You're talking about a guy that's so humble, so like I'm always
wanting to learn and get better. This is not a schlep. This is the goat. You're talking about a guy that's so humble, so like I'm always wanting to learn and get better.
This is not a schlep.
This is the goat.
You're talking about the goat.
There's only one goat in the space.
He's it today.
Okay, a lot of people that want to be the greatest,
one of the best, the current, they're good for a decade,
they're good for two decades.
I've never heard anybody have a number one hit
in music seven decades.
Yeah.
I've never heard anybody.
The only thing is when you got the three names, right? You got Sting, you got Ray Charles and one other that had a number one hit in four seven decades. I've never heard anybody. The only thing is when you got the three names, right,
you got Sting, you got Ray Charles
and one other that had a number one hit
in four different decades.
I think it's only two or three names.
That had a number one hit in four different decades.
Sting, Ray Charles and one other name.
Gary Kasprov.
Gary Kasprov, and that's why that 251 months in a row,
that's insane, 250 something months in a row.
I'm saying that's in that category,
but you're not probably not talking about bands. It doesn't matter but they may be in that category but the point
is to do it seven decades. Yeah it's insane. That's insane. Okay. Let's talk about the story
between Van Diesel and Duane Johnson. Van Diesel if you want to pull up his Instagram post
asks Duane Johnson to return to Fast and Furious franchise after feud he said time has come
he put this picture up and I want to read this to you exactly what he says
when these alas put out a public request for Duane Johnson to return to fascinabuse the two actors
haven't hidden their ongoing feud after co-starring in multiple installments of the franchise together but these will 54 years
all seem to want to put the their differences behind them in a Sunday Instagram post he asked Johnson 49 to come back
for fascinabuse 10 one of the last two films planned in a much-loved series.
But this is how he asked for it. My little brother, Duane. Okay. My little brother, Duane. The time has come.
The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to as their uncle Duane in my house.
There's not a holiday that goes by, that day, and you don't send well wishes, but the time
has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo.
I swear that we would reach and manifest the best fast in the finale. And that is 10. I say
this out of love, but you must show up. Do not leave the franchise idle. You have a very important
role to play. Hopps can be played by no other.
I hope that you rise to the occasion, I believe is what he says.
So, you know, the public first became a word,
they're different relationship in 2016
when Johnson called that as male co-stars
from the fate of the theories on Instagram writing.
Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals
while others don't.
The one that don't are too chicken shit
to do anything about it anyways.
Candy asses.
The jungle crew star who added that,
he and Diesel are philosophically two different people,
also shut down some of the co-stars claims
about the relationship, including the 2017 comment
to USA Today, in which he told the outlet,
I protected Duane more than he'll ever know,
but he appreciates it. He knows he
only has one big brother in the film world, and that's me. Okay, thoughts.
Ego is a hell of a thing, man. Obviously, this has to do with ego and where you're at in the
status fear of Hollywood. Clearly, the rock is bigger than Vin Diesel these days. And this would actually be a very heartfelt,
nice message with the exception of one word.
The little brother.
Little brother.
Listen, it's just a little brother.
Yeah, hey, hey, little brother.
Like, if he would have just said,
my brother rock, it's the time has come.
People are like, oh yeah!
Right?
Obviously he's appealing to emotion, appealing to legacy,
appealing to just everything that rising to the occasion,
even the rhetoric that the world awaits, right?
Rise to the occasion, the destiny that, you know,
of Hobbes, like, relax, this is a freaking movie.
I get there's gonna be some fast and furious people
that aren't exactly on the same page with me here.
And so it's a movie, relax.
But, you know, what does he say here?
Speaking of ego, he only knows he has one big brother
in the world, I protected Dwayne more than he'll ever know.
And he, but does he appreciate it?
I'd like to see what the rock has to respond to this.
There's only one of two ways you can go here, right?
All in or all out,
because he's pretty much drawing the line in the sand.
He's basically called him out before,
basically saying what we're two philosophically different
people, this is not exactly what I wanna be with.
You can either say, I hear your brother,
I'll be right there, I got your back or, hey, I'm good.
They're saying for me.
I think I was looking into it and seeing kind of where it started
and how the beef kind of came about.
And from what I was reading, it was essentially when he first
came into the first movie that there was a lot of tough love
because what he'd played earlier and what they were imagining for the
character for the rock of the Hobbes was so different from what he'd done that
Vin Diesel was kind of wanted to have it be more real and be kind of more because
they were bad they were going against each other one was a bad guy and then
Hobbes was like the cop have you seen any of the faster-fearers movies I've seen
the first few yes I haven't seen, I think last one or two.
There's ten of them. I know. Have you all seen any of them?
They just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just, they just product that they have. Look, there's a few things you got to keep in mind on how life works.
When you're, say you're making a million bucks a year, I'm making a hundred grand a year.
Is there a big difference between the two of us?
Yes.
Dramatically. You're making a hundred grand a year. I'm making a minimum wage. Is there
a big difference between the two of us?
Absolutely.
Okay. Say you're somebody that is Mr.
Olympia and I'm just a guy that's competing and I'm not even a pro. Is there a big difference between the two of us?
dramatically say you're a
wrestler for WWE or whatever you want to call it with
McMahon and I have already done 20 movies. I've been in
What was I one movie with the broker JT Marlin. What was
I movie called the stock? I've been in boiler room. I've been in a save private
line. I've been in a bunch of different things. I got a bunch of shit going on and
you come out and you do a movie where you're playing a gay what do you call it?
Private security for Vince Vaughn. That movie. What was that twinkle twinkle?
Remember that one movie? Do you know what I'm talking about or not? Vince Vaughn. movie what was that twinkle twinkle number that one movie uh uh uh uh do you know what i'm talking about or not you're saying the rock did the rock was in a
movie with Vince Vaughan that's how his career got started with i think Andre 3000 wasn't it no no
no no the movie uh how do you guys not know this movie what what folks if you're listening to this
what was the name of that movie uh i can't believe you guys don't know this movie this is uh Vince Vaughan
Vince Vaughn and
Twinkle Twinkle baby No, but what's the name of the movie though? What's the name of the movie Vince Vaughn and the rock be cool
Be cool. That's the name of the movie. You've never seen it. Maybe I don't know. Oh, you got to see it
It's funny. It's actually a real funny movie. So so you know you at that point the rock was known as taking any job
He just wanted to get in, okay, And he meets with his camp and he says,
I wanna be like, Will Smith, except bigger,
is what I wanna be, okay?
The rock.
So now, let's go back and see what happened in the last 20 years.
You tell me in the last 20 years,
if you were to measure the most charismatic,
competitive, driven, ambitious, loved, high-Q score, recreating
himself, winning in different spaces, cartoon, movies, franchises, name, potential candidate,
cup 100 million followers.
You tell me who else has grown the most in the last 20 years.
So here's how it happens.
This is Vin Diesel. This is the rock when they're competing. Okay?
When they're starting out when they're starting out the Vindizel's way ahead. So to Vindizel's like, hey young man
I'll teach you little bro. Yeah, little bro. Listen now. Here's Vindizel. Yeah, here's a rock. It's not even close
It's not even close. Okay. It's not even close if you think about it
Vindizel's gotten two points that he has one product
and that one product that he's banking on is what?
And good for him, he's probably gonna end up being a billionaire
because the franchise that he's running,
it's a solid franchise, good for him.
Yeah, for sure.
The rock is multi-dimensional, I'm sorry.
To be the rock, have you ever seen a picture
of rock out of shape?
No.
Tell me if you've ever seen a picture with rock out of shape.
You've seen Vin Diesel out of shape, though.
But have you ever seen the Rock Out of Shape?
No.
Do you know how hard that is?
Do you know how hard that is to stay in shape for 20, 30, 40 years?
Do you know how difficult that is?
Like you, you gotta have a season.
You gotta be caught at a beach in Monaco where paparazzi takes a picture of you
and the gut is all the way out here.
Check it out.
There is no picture like that with this guy.
He's been determined to go straight to the top
and he's done it, especially considering how much
he's doing.
So many videos, movies he's shooting as well.
So here's the point.
Here's the point.
Kids know the rock, Moana.
Adults know the rock, wrestling.
Young adults know the rock.
Hip hop, what he just did.
Everyone in the world knows the rock, movies.
He is the most recognizable face worldwide.
56 or 57% of the world knows who the rock is today.
That's the most rock.
He's got one of the highest Q-score,
if not the highest Q-score today.
Renaldo, maybe the only one that's got a higher Q-score
than he's got, but this guy's actually got an opinion.
So, to me, if I'm the rock, I'm sitting there saying,
little brother, dude, like, you think I'm the guy
of 20 years ago, What are you talking about?
In rocks eyes in a competitor's eyes is like you ain't in my league if I don't want to do it
I don't do it if I choose to do it. I choose to do it if
If rock does fast 10 it's only for one reason and one reason only you know
What is the only reason the rock will do fast 10 because he wants to do it
He feels like he's there's only one reason he will do it only one reason legacy. It is only one reason
It's purely for the fans. That's it because the rock is all about his fans if he does it
It's for one reason it's for the fans he ain't gonna do it because that letter matter of fact the way he wrote that actually
Would turn me off to one of you.
Yeah, it's right.
I would actually be like,
like let's just say rockin' our sitting here talking
and he says, hey, P.B.D., what do you think
about what he just says, I'm gonna do it.
What a frickin', what is that all,
that's your approach publicly?
What do you mean that's your approach?
So that means if I do it, I have to call you out publicly
if you put an approach like that.
That shouldn't be the approach.
Do you realize who I am?
Now do you realize what I've done with my life?
But the rock can't go say that publicly,
because everyone's gonna say he's what?
What an arrogant prick thinking he's above everybody else.
Of course.
I follow both of them on Instagram.
I follow Vin Diesel.
I follow the rock.
Completely different styles of branding themselves.
Very different style of branding themselves.
Okay.
You'll typically see Vin Diesel's posts are one or two
dimensional.
He's traveling, he's with the cast, he'll post Paul Walker
stories, that's Vendizel.
His posts are very one dimensional,
is what he does, right?
You see the rock.
Rock puts products, rock puts what he's eating Sunday nights,
how its cheat meals are, rock puts pictures of his kids,
rock does shoutouts.
Rock would pull up the car and go to the fans.
Rock will have a new movie, a new business.
He'll put a picture of people in the wrestling world.
The rock is so multi-dimensional.
It's very, very hard to be the rock.
Very, very hard to be the rock.
So, rock is not only passive and diesel.
Rocks pass a lot of different people and different industries.
So it's not only a Vendizel type of a product that we're talking about.
Anyways, so yeah, if he does it, it'll be for the fans. I don't think it's gonna be anything more than that.
And if somebody really wants to persuade somebody to come back and want to be part of a movie, it's not a way of doing it.
How should a Vendizel have approached this? Knowing that they've had issues in the past he's putting it out there for into the universe basically saying little brother
you know here's a right approach is just here's a right approach to do you think
in vandex old eyes rocks past them
no oh yeah he has to know you sure
whether he's aware of it or or what's the problem
i i think he's acutely aware that the rock is bigger than him, but the whole thing.
Do you think he's not in the Fast and Furious world
specifically standalone?
It doesn't matter.
So here's the approach.
The approach is, brother, we've had a fallon out
multiple times, okay.
Some of it is real, some of it's exaggerated by the media,
okay, because they need another story to talk about.
I get it.
You and I both know where the follow-on out was,
and you know what, you and I both know
which one is fake, which one is real.
Having said that, from seeing you
when I was at the top of the world,
and movies I was making, whether it was X,
whether it was this, whether it was that,
and you were coming up trying to go
from wrestling into movies,
many people doubted John what you were going to do.
But let's face it, you proved everybody wrong,
and you're bigger than everybody else today in Hollywood.
Everybody else in Hollywood.
So proud to have been in different projects with you.
I hope we can set aside all the challenges
that we have and we do this last one together
for the legacy.
That's the approach.
If you do that approach, Rox can be like, okay, go.
I'm coming.
There's ways you, you know, you have to challenge is when I deal with different personalities.
And I look at somebody and I'll say that person keeps attracting problems everywhere they go.
Okay, so for example, you date four girls. We talked about this two podcasts ago. You date four girls.
If the four girls are all for our problematic, it's not the girl buddy. It's you.
Okay. If you tell me your last nine friends all ripped you off, it ain't your nine friends. It's you.
Okay. If you tell me, you know, you're having lunch somewhere and all five of the guys you're having lunch with were assholes.
No, you're the asshole. It's not the other way around. Okay.
If you go out there and you think all this stuff is going on, it's people
are against you, it's really you. It's not the other way around. So a personality like
that in a situation like this, you have to know how to deal with a personality like that.
Most people have no clue how to do it. Most people cannot get their ego out to realize
this, man. You're still relaxed, homie. There's a lot more people that are doing much bigger things than you, but the rock, he's
at the top of his game and he's humble and he's likeable and he's charismatic and he's charming
and he wants to give back very hard, very, very hard to get a guy like that.
Not saying he's not demanding, not saying he's not going to be expecting.
So this tweet or whatever this was, help or hurt the chances that he'll be coming
the the rock is most likely my whether he's gonna do it or not it's gonna be
100% his choice but the rocks most likely if he ends up doing it's gonna be
because of his fan I don't I don't think this helped I think this hurt because
there's better ways of doing that I think it's pretty obvious that fast and
furious and Vin Diesel need the rock more than he needs that yeah somebody just tweeted will bear to Rodriguez at the best thing he said I'd
expect Kevin hard to call him little brother yeah not vindiesel he's right they
have the relation he expect the rock
given hard to call him little brother because they always joke at each other oh god
you know that one picture that they have where Kevin needs like and then rock is like real tiny they have that
relationship they have the stories you can tell their friends you can tell
they get along nobody in the world would say vandexa and rocker best friends
nobody in the world would say that okay anyways we'll see what happened
I you know you're doing okay I'd love to see it but look I agree with
vandexa I think hoves got to be played by him can you imagine if john cina comes and plays
habs or can imagine they go bring another person to play a couple of
uh... actually in that i know he was i know he was
yeah it's kind of like when i stopped watching uh... what was that one movie
transformers when shy lobof was no longer in it and uh... what's the girls name
fox when making fox and shy lobof were no longer in the pro as much as i love
mark walbert and i still watched it shy lob Buff was that guy and Megan Fox was that girl.
Okay, now whether Megan screwed it up or the director, whatever, that's not, you know,
the story is you connect with those characters.
So I agree with Wendy's on that area.
Anyways, let's go to the next story that we have here in New Grash to dating.
Adam really wanted us to share this.
It was his top story.
So we're going to come through for him.
You're more likely to divorce.
If you mix your spouse, this way, new study says it's a best life article.
It's hard to find love, especially in the middle of the global pandemic.
But singles out there should be cautious.
If they want their relationship to last, how you first cross paths with your partner may
correlate to how long you stayed together,
new survey from UK's Marriage Foundation, ask people who are or have been married how
they find their first spouse.
On one increasingly popular method of dating seemed to predict a brief marriage about around
12% of couples who met online were divorced within three years of marriage compared to
within 8% who met through school, 6% met through work, 3% met out of bar
or social outing, and 2% met through friends and family.
In a survey, 28% of respondents who got married
for the first time in 2017 later said
that they met their spouse online,
tied with the other most popular answer,
meeting through friends and family.
Interesting, the numbers right there.
12% who got a divorce
met online compared to 8% through school, 6% through work, 3% at a bar,
social outing, and 2% through friends and family, which means the highest
likelihood of a marriage working at is through friends and family. Yeah,
adults, I'm gonna come on with you. Yeah, of course. I actually love this story. I
don't know. I mean, that's what I think you would. Yeah, because I'm looking come only to you. So tell us, what do you think about it? I actually love this story. I don't know, I mean, that's what. I think what you would.
Yeah.
Cause I'm looking for a good referral fee right over there.
So just to recap this, they list the top five best odds
you have for your relationship working.
Number five, last on the list is meeting online, right?
Because online, it's all a facade.
You're gonna put your best pictures up there.
You're gonna, you know, look your best.
How many times have you,
that people seen a girl online
and then you meet them in real person.
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, let me get the hell out of here.
But behind that is school,
or above that is school,
work at a social venue, bar or club.
But the number one place to get business or relationship
is a referral.
Hey, I've got someone for you.
Someone that I think you'd be interested in.
It's amazing, but it's still the most popular, is that crazy right now?
The most popular way to meet right now is online.
Tied with a referral from your friends and family.
Is that crazy?
Why is that crazy?
I just, what do you mean is that crazy?
Are you on any of these dating sites or no?
No comment, however.
First of all, what are you talking about?
In his office, Adam has the five different dating sites.
He has a calendar set up on which one
the biggest closing ratio.
But on all these dating sites.
Shacking is numbers.
In today's world, you mean people
are not gonna use dating sites?
Of course they are, of course they are. Of course they are. Just this is. I'm surprised that you
shot. No, I'm not shot. It's more. This is how far we've come since COVID is that we all
remember a time where being on a dating side, it's kind of weird. You're on the internet.
But now it's number one. Your longest relationship. How did you meet her? Not the name. How did
you meet her? Pretty much any go of our there Matt has been a bar at a club barit
But but but but I get it, but which one was it your friends longest relationship?
You're like have you had a girl that was your friends girlfriend's friend or your friends friend and
Yeah, a refill that happens from time to time. Okay, but I'm asking you your long-distance relationship
No matter at a at a bar club live. Okay, so that's second. How about the second one?
Online online yeah, and I last it how long two years? How about the third one?
College college. Yeah, college was what you just met her in college. Oh, yeah, but was it friends?
Like was she friend of a crew? It was a friend of a crew. And I was like, that's really good friend though,
but that's not college. That's friend, right? So, yeah, so I, you know, this kind of makes sense though.
This kind of makes sense and you meet somebody
through the internet.
So what connections do you have to know
the history of this individual?
And then eventually you date six, 12, 24, 36 months.
You're like, I really didn't know all this history.
Now everything comes up out of nowhere.
I don't know if I was ready for this versus
if you're dating somebody through a referral
and they ask, hey, what do you know about this girl?
What do you know about this guy?
You kind of now know a little bit more
and you have to decide for yourself whether
I'm willing to take that risk or not.
You know, this guy's been singled for this long.
This guy's been this, this guy's been that.
You bring up the word risk.
Because it's all a risk reward.
It's all about odds.
You talked about this when you talked about
the book that you recommend.
100 questions to us. 100 questions before you get engaged. It's all about playing the odds. And it's
interesting. This is why I think this is it's a it's a numbers game. I mean 50% of all relationships and
in divorce. Those are marriages. Yeah. That's how many really how many relationships the people have before they get
married 10 on average, I would say. So 90% of relationships don't work to begin with. So if relationships and you want to have a successful relationship
and stay married and be together with a person, it's all odds.
And basically, the odds are basically saying,
the more likely you are to meet online,
the less likely a relationship is going to work.
So we'll see.
How long have you been meeting online for 10 years, maybe?
Dating apps?
What's your experience with this dating apps, Kai?
You're a good book.
I think there's two things on this, which, again,
I'm more on Pat's campus, it's not surprising.
I think that with the apps where it's more gamification,
where it's more like it's superficial,
and there's endless options in a sense,
I think that that kind of makes people have a more
if it gets rough or if it's challenging and more like
off screw it.
Let me see your thumbs, bro.
I'll go find something like that.
Oh, this guy's swiping.
Hard.
And then the other one is in terms of with the apps, I think it can start more casual as opposed
to like you're building a solid relationship or your friends and then you kind of refer
to someone or something like that where it's more in common and then you build on that.
I think here it's more, it casual, and then it kind of just...
Well folks, if you're listening to this...
Slide down.
Let's talk to some people who are married.
So if you're listening to this folks,
how many of you, if you don't mind putting
how you make your husband, okay?
Well, I'm not a wife.
You have to be married or wife.
How you make your husband or wife,
and how long you guys have been together.
Let's see how many people have been married.
How many men? Somebody put new men online. Yeah, I saw that. No, not just somebody.
A few people put, but I'm curious to know how many people met online and how long they've
been married. Because that does kind of make sense when you're meeting somebody. It's like
quantity versus quality, right? If you're if you're playing the online game, you're playing
the quantity game. If you think about it, because you don't really get 17 referrals from your friends.
Okay, okay, so I listen, I got a self-sretched,
here's a 17 goals, I got all the heights,
there's degrees, there's parents, there's a person
that would deliver something like that.
For you would a self-sretched, but the point is,
when you're playing this, okay,
let's take a look at what people are saying.
I don't have a girlfriend.
What is it say?
And your sister? Work five years.
I met my wife when I was nine years old at church.
Okay, legit.
14 years.
She's a friend.
She is a friend's younger sister.
Okay, bar 11 years in March.
Instagram five and a half years.
Mildred Johnson.
Interesting.
So that worked out.
Tinder, I'm married for a year and been with her for four years.
Tinder, app, two years through friends, 10 years, online Facebook, three years,
friend of a friend, nine years married, the beach.
Good for you, Michael Holland, five years.
Met wife and high school been married 25 years, J-Dog.
Met wife on my space.
Mary 12 and a half years, first of all.
Willie says he met in the club.
I love married for 26 years.
Holy moly, what club was that?
So I had a range marriage.
Somebody said that?
What are you seeing a range marriage?
The seeker 2020.
I love that.
10 years, your conference.
What?
Daniel, Daniel, Daniouk,
met 10 years at my conference.
Okay, well Daniel, I'm glad you met your wife
at my conference.
My wife passed me December 19th, 2019,
so I'm gonna love you, okay, rest in peace,
nightclub 10 years, merit, Instagram, five and a half years.
So look, you know, it's a different story.
Everybody's got different stories on how they meet,
but I see the stats and it makes sense to me.
So does this kind of change your strategy, though, Adam?
Does this change your strategy because, you know,
maybe you're not asking for enough referrals.
Maybe not.
Maybe you got to ask.
I think you should consider asking your mom
for some referrals here in family and friends.
I want to work with.
I think I still think, I'm not shocked that apps
are at the top of these days, not shocked at all.
I'm more just surprised like how far we've come
these days that apps are the number one way
to meet someone these days.
It's more, wow, I can't believe that, but it's very real.
I still do think the best opportunity you have
is just meeting someone out, how you doing,
you know, step to them and just spit your game,
have some banter.
Because you think that's, tell me what your logic is behind it.
I just think when you meet someone in person, you're gonna see how they act, you're
gonna see how they carry themselves, you're gonna see how they dance, you're gonna
see how they interact with others, you're gonna see how they treat the staff
around them. Again, the internet, you're only gonna put your best pictures
online, you're only gonna, like, there's been a time,
I've actually never really met up with,
I've been talked to a girls online.
One time, I met, wow, this girl's super cute,
her nap, right?
I think that, okay, we facetimed.
I go like this, oh, hey, she goes,
oh, do I not look good?
I go, no, no, you look great.
I'm just, did not look anything like the picture.
I was like, I gotta go. And for a couple days, she's like, I'm sorry did not look anything like the picture. I was like, I gotta go.
And for a couple days, she's like,
I'm sorry I didn't have makeup on.
I was like, no, it's cool baby, you're great.
I'm just not feeling well, whatever, whatever excuse.
But you're gonna know.
She's listening right now.
It's fun.
You're gonna know when you meet someone out in public,
you're gonna know what they smell like,
how they look, how they interact,
how they wear their outfits,
Eric's gonna obviously judge if they got a booty or not.
Like, you're gonna see what's up online, you're not gonna know.
And you're gonna maybe wasting a lot of time
and lots of energy and something you're not gonna be with.
You're gonna know, like, a girl will know
within five seconds of meeting a dude,
whether she's, sleep with the guy.
You've heard this before, right?
They're gonna know.
And then obviously it's on you not to fuck it up.
But a guy's gonna, like a guy will not even go talk
to a girl if he's not in her.
Like they're not even gonna waste their time.
Hey, what are you with that?
No.
So some guys are less picking than others,
but still I think the best way.
Referrals, okay, I'll give you another,
I'm going off an attention.
The worst referral, the worst referral is from a girl,
like a girlfriend.
A girl you dated.
No, no, no, no, like a girl, a female friend.
Because they always hit you with,
I've got the perfect girl for you.
She's so beautiful.
She's the best.
She's the funniest girl.
And then you meet the girl, you're like, yeah, what the, why are you wasting my time here?
Girls always hype up their girlfriends. Have you not noticed that?
They always think that their girlfriend is the hottest, the best, the sexiest.
And then you're like, what the, what the hell was that?
They think their friends are hotter than they are. Have you not experienced this? No.
You haven't. I haven't had that issue. You got to get better referral.
Listen, it makes sense why you're single. So what I want you haven't. I'm not that issue. You got to get better referral. Listen, it makes sense while you're single.
So what I want you to do is I want you to stay committed to being single to a 43 and one
day old.
I'm going to marry it after that.
There's a good chance I've married at 42 and 364 days.
The right age is 45, right?
45-ish, give or take.
That's it.
I'd like to know from the crowd is the best way to meet some person is just out and about
and step into him and saying, hey, how you doing?
Oh, what the, what's the outcome? No, the outcome is to find a person to just out and about and step into and saying, hey, how you doing? What the what's the outcome?
No, the outcome is to find a person to share your time with their relationship.
No, share your time with your relationship.
Relationship.
A relationship.
A potential wife.
Sure.
A potential wife.
Yeah, of course.
Whatever gives you more intel and data and there's a connection.
Okay, meaning if the connection comes first, but I don't disagree on the connection part But but connection long-term that doesn't keep the marriage together if it's just connection
You need way more than just a connection part right after that so agree
So to me is the more people know what kind of girl you're looking for the more people are working for you
That's it the more people know what kind of girl you're looking for
Yeah, and then you choose I just don't feel or no problem, okay, because you have to feel.
But if it's coming from somebody
that you've known the history
and everyone's gonna bring some kind of baggage
that you're gonna have to build.
But it's gonna be a lot less baggage than somebody
you've never met before online.
That do you think they're gonna tell you 80%
they're eventually the baggage is all gonna show up
within five, 10 years. And I could have held it, the baggage is all gonna show up within five, 10 years.
And who the hell did I marry?
Five, 10 years.
Five, 10 dates.
Not five, 10 dates. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,'ve been dating this guy, I've already met seven X's of this. Okay, what the hell is this all about?
That may take two years, okay, she's out there with you.
And she's gonna have to find out
why is a scab in single all these years.
She needs to know that intel.
But if she knows it through Chris or somebody else
gonna be like, okay, that makes sense,
then on what happened with this guy?
Totally understand.
So the more people know what you're looking for,
the more people are working for you.
Can I say something on this relationship?
You know what I'd never understand?
Tell me.
Someone who always hates their ex.
You know what I'm talking about here?
I totally agree.
I don't understand that.
I totally agree.
I've had girlfriends before.
I've had maybe three or four serious relationships,
whatever they didn't work out.
I could text or call any of my exes
and be like, how are you?
Totally good.
It didn't work out or not together.
They would only say good things.
I don't understand the person, I fucking hate my ex.
The worst and like that's every ex.
Like you said before, you know,
if you've been ripped off by the last 10 people
you've done business with, it's on you.
So I don't understand that.
Like always hating your ex, right?
I agree. I totally agree. I don't know what that is. I don't understand. Just share your ex, right? I agree.
I totally agree.
I don't know what that is.
I don't understand to share your life
with someone that's a year or five years.
But let me take about the six exes I dated
who were absolute frickin' waste of time.
I wanted to, and that's how the story starts.
How was your last girl?
Oh, she was, how was she last, oh, he was at this.
Now, some of them are problematic,
but for the most part, so anyways, going back to this,
if a guy is serious about getting married before 43 years old, whoever this guy is, make sure
as many people that you respect know what you're looking for. People that you
respect, not just anybody that's just any uber, drops you off. People that you
respect know what you're looking for and let them go to work. Well, good luck out
everybody. Everyone needs a little luck on their their Sack, I think we know who's gonna get married before anyone else here over there. Who Eric? Yeah, you think so
Well, he's good for him good for him. Where he's at okay?
I was I was really hoping you would have a little honesty and
Open open up the book a little bit
You know I like you like to keep things close to the vest I get it But this guys and what is you've you've used bumble you've used I've been on some of
Nothing nothing serious has come out of it. So okay
Is there anything else I you know, yeah, I think you got some stories that you could share but you're holding them back
You're gonna you're gonna talk or you're gonna be I mean, I don't know what stories he's digging
I think what he's talking about is your late night yoga courses that you take
stories he's digging for. I think what he's talking about is your late night yoga courses that you take.
Those are amazing.
Yeah.
Great.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Okay.
So let's go to the next story, which is.
Kai's low key got some some internet game.
Kai does.
Low key.
You won't admit it.
You won't say it.
Whoever plays the card of I don't care is attractive.
That's Kai's game.
Yeah.
I don't care is his game.
If you want to find out who can care less?
Kai got your beat. Yeah, Kai could care less and that's attractive to a lot of people out there. Okay, hopefully a lot of women out there for him, but you know
So let's get right into it. Let's get right into it. All right, so next next one we got here next one. We got here
Truckers actually know let's go to the NASCAR story first. Okay. After going woke, NASCAR condemns, let's go brand and chant threatens to sue
use of slogan with its trademarks. This is a daily wire story.
NASCAR president Steve Phelps has threatened to sue those who use the word,
let's go brand and slogan on merchandise, merchandise,
feature in a NASCAR trademark. And as condemn the use of the slogan,
claiming that NASCAR does not want to be associated with politics, we will pursue whoever is using the slogan and get that stuff.
Phelps said, that's not okay.
It's not okay that you're using our trademarks illegally regardless of whether we agree with
that position is.
I feel for Brandon Phelps said, I think unfortunately speaks to the state of where we are as a country
we do not want to associate ourselves with politics, left or right.
We obviously have, and we've always had as a sport, a tremendous respect for the office
of the president, no matter who is sitting.
Okay.
So, can you imagine how ludicrous this is the president of NASCAR.
Are you kidding me to say we're going to those who use the phrase let's go Brandon?
I think the way I read it the way I read it it's different though if you have Tyler if you look up let's go
Brandon merch you'll see you'll see merch with the NASCAR logo on it that I can get
mm-hmm let's go brand it that's not what he's saying though no no that's not what he's saying because you see
uh let me ask you what you mean to tell me NASCAR sells a shirt saying,
let's go Brandon?
They don't.
Okay, but there's companies here.
You see all these shirts,
yeah, okay, I get this part.
That, that, I get.
But that's not what he's talking about.
Stop, stop, stop, that's not what he's talking about.
It's not what he's talking about.
He's not talking about, you know,
the color of the NASCAR logo.
He's saying politics.
If you say the usage of the NASCAR logo, I get it.
He's saying, let's go Brandon.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
You can't use a phrase.
This to me has everything to do with corporate versus culture.
So what do I mean by that?
Culture wise, this is, let's go Brandon Central.
Good luck getting your fan base to stop saying, let's go Brandon. Like, luck getting your your fan base to stop saying let's go
brand and like you don't have to be the smartest the sharpest tool in the shed to understand
that they are the let's go brand and champions of the world now when you want the nascar
audience 100 percent what percentage of the nascar audience do you have you been to nascar
races i'm in the one what percentage of you think the nasc audience leans right? 90% 75% I would say even higher than that.
Okay, fine.
Okay, point it, what number do you think?
Let's call it 80-20.
Let's call it 80-20.
They ain't stopping to the Let's Go brand and champ.
That ain't stopping anytime soon.
And you know what?
Good for them.
Free speech, maybe America.
She root for brand and all you want.
On the other hand, the corporate side of things,
the sponsor side of things.
Stop.
Hear me out.
Nobody.
Nobody is more beholden to their sponsors than NASCAR.
Every single car they have has 1500 sponsors
littered across the car.
Every single car has got corporate sponsor,
corporate sponsor, corporate sponsor.
You know what's the better approach?
What's up?
You're gonna say anybody that uses the word
let's go brand and we're coming after you.
What a moral.
On there with their logo associated.
This is, again, this has everything to do with culture
versus corporate, okay?
When you're talking trademarks,
whether it was let's go brand in or F Joe Biden
or F Trump, if you're using NASCAR's logo,
they're basically saying, not so fast.
I think that part, he's 1 million percent right
to use NASCAR's logo.
I think that's right.
Portrait in the wrong way.
It is.
Communicate in the wrong way.
No, but that's not what he's saying.
He's saying politics.
If you're using the NASCAR logo, you must stop.
If you're not using a NASCAR logo,
then he can do whatever he wants. I agree.
But I think if you asked me which sport is least likely to go woke, least likely, I'd
put NASCAR at the top of that list. But it just shows that when you bring, I'd put you
at the end of the car. You think the percentage of guys on NASCAR being on the right
Is hired in the percentage of people in MBA that aren't the left
I think the same players are you saying fans? I think I think the MBA is 90 plus percent left players
I agree, okay, we're drivers and NASCAR are probably gonna be 75% right. I think it's very even.
Yeah.
I think it's, NASCAR tends to be a little more right,
a lot more right for sure.
I don't disagree.
For sure.
Whether that's 80 or 90, who knows?
I'm sure there's a poll out there.
But secretly, I think a lot of NBA guys
are a little more middle than they would be portrayed.
I think during the whole social justice movement,
the bubble and everything that was going out there,
I think a lot of people, even if they didn't agree with it,
we're like, all right, I guess I gotta be on board with this.
The one guy that didn't kneel,
or the one guy that,
he didn't kneel for the, he didn't kneel for the,
he didn't kneel for the,
he should sell him out.
Exactly, and then he broke his knee.
Yeah.
That's a rough go.
The one that, what?
Jonathan Isaac.
And his jersey sells the same.
Yeah, but, anyway, what's the bottom line here
with this NASCAR thing?
Do you think that they're just gonna,
they're not gonna embrace the Let's Go brand
on their trade.
They shouldn't, first of all, you should not.
They should not sell anything NASCAR, saying Let's Go brand it. trade. They shouldn't. First of all, you should not. They should not sell anything NASCAR saying,
Let's Go Brandon.
NASCAR shouldn't.
Number one, they're not.
Number two, you can't use somebody's logo.
So anybody that's selling it using NASCAR's logo,
yeah, absolutely.
You can do whatever you want to do with it.
But people using a phrase, Let's Go Brandon,
they're gonna use a phrase.
Can't do nothing about it.
Without a doubt.
Good luck getting it on the stop doing it.
Let's talk about the story on Elon Musk says he will sell $24 billion of Tesla stock
if Twitter votes for it.
While the world's richest people's net worth is reportedly in the billions of dollars
and can fluctuate by billions of dollars every month that value is not liquid unless they
were to sell stocks otherwise known as unrealized gains.
Currently our tax code and financial systems are built
around the notion that you haven't made any money
until you sell those stocks and realize the gains.
This results in billionaires sometimes seeing their network
increase by billions of dollars in a year
and yet not having to pay any taxes,
that your Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has argued
against taxing those unrealized gains, which makes sense,
but he has now taken it to Twitter to offer an alternative.
He says that if Twitter votes for it,
he will sell 10% of a stake in Tesla,
which is going to have to pay taxes on because he owes,
he has a $15 billion tax bill right now,
according to CNBC,
combined the state and federal tax rate, it'll be 54.1% so they'll told tax
on his options, at the current price will be $15 billion.
If you want to go to his tweet, actually click on it, go to it.
Look at the results of the poll, though.
What did they say?
Yes.
So, what does this mean?
Yes.
So, he asked this question.
Yep.
Right?
Almost 60%, almost 60%, 58% said, yes,
I support you selling.
By the way, he said, I will abide by the results of this poll.
So what does that mean now?
Is he gonna stay true to his word
and actually sell 10% of his stuff?
I think so.
I think so.
You think he's gonna do that?
That's why Tesla has been going down the last few days.
I mean, I think so.
But I had a question though on this
because I was looking at it and they said that the options in the 2012 as a part of the compensation plan,
because it is in the bonus or salary, his wealth comes from stock prices and they said that they would
the options would expire in August of next year. Does that mean he wouldn't get those stock options?
Options that expire next year. Yeah, he was saying here, the options. Options that expire next year.
Saying here, the options expire in August of next year,
yet in order to exercise them,
Musk has to pay the income tax on the gain.
Does that mean that he wouldn't receive them
if they expire, would they go back to his test
of stockholders?
Yeah, but he would activate it.
He would exercise the stocks and do it by him.
Yeah, so he buys them.
So for him, he has to basically have to do this anyway.
So it's either do it now and be a meme king or do it next.
But guess what the move is on doing it this way.
Guess what the move is on doing now.
People want him to do it.
So when that comes back, public sentiment.
So this, the his strategy on doing it this way is to prevent the Tesla stock of dropping dramatically.
So he goes and asks.
So the audience says this, then he says, I will abide by it.
I'm doing what you asked me to do.
I didn't make the decision.
He must have known that the audience was going to vote for yes.
Of course he does.
There's a part of everyone that's like, do it, bro.
Do it.
Especially if it's like 15 million.
We want 10%.
Exactly.
15 billion.
How many votes?
Three and a half million?
Yeah.
Something that, you know, people should understand
maybe people don't are familiar with this.
You could probably speak to this is
they realize versus unrealized gains.
He talks about he says,
look, I do not take a cash salary or bonus from anywhere.
I only have stock.
Thus, the only way for me to pay taxes personally
is to sell stock.
You know, the billionaires became way richer this year.
Why?
Because of their stock and the stock market, right?
So anyway, thoughts on taxing,
that's a lot of talk about, we talked about this.
On Realized Gains.
Taxing on Realized Gains, that's crazy, right?
It's pathetic.
It's the dumbest thing they've ever talked about.
What do you mean, unrealized gains? You know how tough right? It's pathetic. It's the dumbest thing they've ever talked about. What do you mean unrealized gains?
You know how tough of a situation you're gonna put people into?
It's gonna be insane if they do some like that. Just the fact that they're talking about it makes zero sense.
Just the fact that why doesn't it make no sense?
Because you haven't made money. You know how they say this guys were two billion dollars?
He's worth two billion dollars today
pre-tax after tax. He's probably only worth nine hundred and twenty million dollars.
That makes sales, you're saying.
No, no, the money is not going to come, two billion dollars, not going to come to the guy.
So, for example, Elon Musk says he's worth what?
Three hundred billion dollars.
What is Elon Musk really worth?
Elon Musk is really, if he sold 100% of what he owns,
let's just say the shares, most of it is in stock.
Let's just add a $300 billion, he's worth,
say 2.80 is in stock, 20 billion is something else.
Whatever, I'm just guessing.
The 280 billion he sells, capital gains.
He's gonna pay what on that?
20%.
20%.
So, 28% on 280 is what?
56, 56 minus 280 is what?
234, 2244 he's worth 224
That's assuming this doctor doesn't drop another 20% tomorrow, so and then that's even that way
So to say this guy's worth this much. He's not worth that much
He is not a pay taxes clearly. It's paper. There's there's difference between cash rich and paper rich
Paper rich is what that thing is worth on that day, okay?
So then you sell you still have to pay that taxes.
So it makes no sense to pay unrealized gains taxes.
The government, you know,
everything that's going on with the well tax
and the billionaire's taxes they're talking,
there's two people at the top of their list
that they're looking at and they're getting,
they're salivating, they're looking at bezos
and they're looking at musk and they're saying,
we want a piece of that money.
These guys have become, dude. I did a
Wrong enemy though. You're going after the wrong person well because they can afford to fight you and
They're gonna hire all the best CPA lawyers. A lot of everything out about that. It's not about that. It's not about that
What's it about? So so let me let me ask a question. So for example for example, let's just say
You know you you create a you create an incentive program where you make certain things
Legal whatever take a drug that you make legal, okay?
And I use the cocaine okay. I use cocaine and all of a sudden I get arrested hypothetically and I kill myself
Okay, I chose to do that right okay great. But you made it legal, okay?
You made it legal for me to get access to it, great.
So that's the law, you made it legal,
I got access to it, no problem.
Say I'm driving in an auto-bond,
and the speed limit is what?
There is no speed limit in Germany.
I go 180 miles an hour, I hit somebody that's going 50, okay?
Now, you told me there's no restrictions on how fast I can go.
Maybe you ought to put some restrictions on that, right?
Okay, so you talk about how rich a person got.
How did a person become rich?
Did he create the laws?
Is he the one that's creating the tax code?
Is he the one that created what did he do wrong?
What did he do wrong?
He didn't do anything wrong.
He simply went out there, used the current tax code that everybody else uses and he
made money for himself. That's doing something wrong. Oh, but he's greedy. Why don't you
go create $300 billion on that? Well, let's see if you can do it. Since you make it look
like it's so easy, I dare you to go. Do matter fact, let's put a challenge for you. We'll
give you 20 years. Go see if you can be worth $300 billion. How many people have done
that? You know, making it seem like this is a sin on what these guys are doing. Stop it.
Warren Buffett's worth a hundred or some billion dollars.
Who do you know that state discipline in one industry for 60 plus years, 70 plus years?
You should reward that.
There should be an incentive and rewarding of that.
So demonizing these guys is the dumbest thing to do out there by constantly demonizing what
these guys are doing.
Speaking of Buffett, he's been very vocal that he thinks he should pay more
tax.
Why do you think he says that?
I'm asking you, that's what he thinks he says that though.
Pandering.
Why do you think he says that?
Maybe A, maybe he does feel like he should pay more taxes.
Do you?
Do you?
Okay, then do.
Go ahead.
Nobody's forcing you not to do it.
Go do it.
Well, a lot of it is he's being, he's choosing to do this.
No, no, but when people say stuff like that you nobody stop me from sending more tax money in
right you can write a check that you go for it iris is gonna keep saying that
what could so my god you can't be that naive Adam this is a part that sometimes I wonder and I
sit and I say this guy's Adam's a level of naivete goes why does Buffett so why don't we unpack that
sure why don't we unpack that have you ever read Buffett's
Books know what is it called snowball or snowball? You ever read his book you ever read his material
I've read his yeah, I've read some stuff that he's written to shareholder every year have you read
His relationship with politics over the years how close he realized he needed to get to
Political people and to understand the fact that politics are involvement and what he wants to do, have you ever studied?
Okay.
So, how valuable is it to an Obama to get a Buffett to say, I should pay more taxes?
How much does a Buffett say in that in an interview with cmbc
or fox business
or cnn
or abc or nbc
a week
after obama announces raising of taxes
for buffett to say i should pay more taxes
how much does that get the average person to say exactly what you just said which is what
well but that said it should raise my taxes,
and maybe they should be okay.
Why are you not okay with you raising your taxes?
He's worth 50 billion at the time, you're not.
You should be okay, if he's okay,
that's not how the stuff works.
The way these things work is,
hey, what would you like me to do?
Hey, listen, here's what I like to see.
I'm having a hard time with XYZ.
We like to be able to do this.
I like to see the administration follow having a hard time with XYZ. We like to be able to do this. I like to see the administration follow and pass in the following, whatever law, whatever,
you know, policy, et cetera, et cetera.
Great.
Hey, can you do me a favor?
Yeah.
Do you mind going out there and supporting my tax bill and saying the fact that people
like you should pay more taxes?
Yeah, I'll do that.
Okay.
How some can you do that?
Do you mind doing it tomorrow?
Can you call one to press conferences or can you call one of these guys and write that
up? Sure. The next day, boom, and then Obama goes up
and says, listen folks, a lot of people complain about taxes,
but here's the thing, how many guys are richer than Buffett?
If Warren Buffett says he should pay more taxes,
maybe you ought to be okay with it as well,
because this thing doesn't hurt anybody else
more than it hurts Warren Buffett.
Boom, you know what, he's right, boom, the bill gets passed.
Now, do I know 100% this happened or not?
Of course, I don't know the 100% whether this happened or not.
But when you make it to that level of wealth,
you don't give a shit about taxes.
You give a shit about regulation.
It ain't taxes, it's regulation you care about.
You don't sit there and say,
I'd love to save another 2% in capital gains.
No, no, no, you'd love to create a new regulation
or deregulate something
to help you take your business to the next level or eliminate competition. That's what
you're more interested in at that level. Again, this is speculation. If I'm wrong, believe
I'm wrong. What direction do you think Buffett votes?
I think Buffett has voted. I know Buffett's voted left and right throughout his career.
He's not somebody that's voted only on the left or only on the right.
He's gone both sides.
But I think again, Adam, I think it changes on how you vote at that time.
You're not just voting at that time based on the same thing that an average person votes
with, votes with.
At that time, you're voting on who you think
you can get the most things done with,
because you're Warren Buffett.
So if you vote for a person that wants to have
nothing to do with you,
you're gonna get shit done with that person.
So you'd much rather get somebody to get elected
that's willing to work with you during those four years
to all past stuff that's gonna favor you.
Do you think you voted for Trump ever?
I don't think he voted for Trump.
I don't think he voted for Trump.
Buffet?
I don't think he voted for Trump.
No, I don't think he,
because I don't think he...
Make sure he endorsed...
I don't think a Buffet likes people like Trump,
because it's not his cup of tea.
I don't think Buffet is a Trump guy,
and I don't think Trump's a Buffet guy.
I don't think, i don't see those two
having dinner together
the whole reason that i brought that up is because obviously you're talking about
taxes and why
in this case elan musk was not willing to obviously want to pay more taxes
but
essentially
you have a buffet saying yes we should pay more and you have a musk
saying that no i should pay more and you have a mosque saying that no, I should pay less
So here's my point. They're both concerned about regulation. Are they not let me ask you questions?
Let me ask you question. Yeah, let me ask you question between the two. You ready?
Here's a question for you. Okay, which one of the two does the current administration like and support?
The current administration does not
Whatever reason get along with the along why do you think they don't like you know musk i don't know that he
hasn't been invited to any of the but why do you think they why do you think
though why do you think though
why
because he's questioning their their antics why do you because he said guy
he's what no i'm the people
the people who have voted for biden are also the people that are trying to get rid
of him in terms of like the car manufacturers
the other companies
they don't like
Elon Musk because he calls out on their shit
they cannot stand a guy like Elon Musk
they cannot stand a guy like him
he's a trouble maker he cause he he shakes and shakes the system but he also gets results so listen there's trouble makers that don't
don't do a reproduce result he can understand him and see him for what he is and be like uh... is elham usch
he's innovation like there's a there's a risk there's the annoyance with the
reward in terms of progress but with the with the people that are very structured
and very like proper work with the ask you who's more scared
basals or elham us
scared who's more scared of what
of the administration who's more scared i think uh... elham us i don I think Elon Musk. I know I think Jeff business by far but not even close
How how how about your
Amazon the way they're going after Amazon the way that there's more of a monopoly there
And I also think that Elon Musk is more kind of like I don't give a shit type of guy
Okay, let me ask the question in a complete different way from you
Here's a different way of asking a question from you. You ready?
You know the movie gladi, where Russell Crowe goes up
to his owner and he says, hey,
you used to be a Gladiator, right?
When the crowd.
Okay, you think Bezos has won the crowd?
No.
You think Elon Musk has won the crowd?
Absolutely.
Matter of fact, pull up Jeff Bezos's Twitter account.
I don't even know the number.
I'm gonna say six million.
I'm gonna say seven. I don't know the number. I'm gonna say six million. I'm gonna say seven. I don't know the number.
I'm gonna say six or seven million.
For guy, we're $200 billion.
I'm gonna say he's only got six or seven million followers.
Shit, I was off.
One, three million.
Okay, Nagori Elon Musk.
Okay, NetWorth about the same used to be six months ago,
three months ago, unless things change,
until things change on last two,
he's just click on Elon Musk right there.
On the account. Go back, click on the Elon Musk right there.
Go back.
Click on the Elon Musk on his account.
63 million.
That's 21 times more.
So you have to know, Elon has won the crowd.
Bezos has not.
So Elon, if you go after Elon,
you're going after 63 million people
that are gonna come after you.
They're gonna rally behind you.
If you go after Bezos
No one's gonna be they're gonna be like listen. It is what it is
Bezos is scared Elon Musk is not scared. Bezos. How often have you heard Bezos ruffle the feathers of people in politics and say stuff all the time
No, Bezos. Oh, oh, oh, basically never how long you how often
The only time I think I've seen that is when he's yeah, when he's like everyone's everyone's agreeing with that
But it's popular. Yeah, it's more hoppin on it because you know the odds are it's an easy. It's an easy win
Anyways, this leads us into the next story
Which is what happened between him and Leo at a what was it at an event when there was a picture of the way if you want to pull up the picture of Leo
And his girl, what pages?
Some page two. Okay. Jeff Bezos responds to viral clip of of a
Lauren Sanchez and Leo jokes Leo come over here. Amazon co found a 57 years old
money through down the playful thread to a poke and fun at a video that went viral
over the weekend. The clip document on the moment that he and the partner Lauren
Sanchez shared with the capriate LACACMA, Art and Film Gala and LA
sat it in the brief.
The Emmy award winning journalist 51 can be seen flashing
a big smile at the 46 year old actor,
a long time co-chair of the annual event
while Bezos stands by her side.
Leo is Mr. Steel, Yo girl, bar still sports chokinly
said about this.
And then he says, let's come over here.
I wanna show you something, Leo. And then he says, let's come over here. I want to show you something Leo
and then he put that with a danger fatal drop sign.
So if you want to go back to the danger
of fatal drop sign, look at that.
Cliff, okay, which is funny.
Good for you for showing sense of humor.
By the way, look at those traps, okay?
Guys in shape.
The guys in shape.
Yeah, guys been working out.
Mr. Steele, yo girl.
Who is that? What song is that? Mr. Steele, yo girl. Who is that?
What song is that?
Mr. Steele, yo girl.
That T.P. paint.
Yeah.
All right.
Thoughts.
Do you have any thoughts?
Yeah, here we go.
Could Leo steal Jeff Bezos girl?
Absolutely.
I'm sure he could, bro.
Freaking Leonardo da Caprio.
Do you think Leo who is-
She's too old for him.
There you go.
You think Leo who is what?'s too old for him. There you go. You think Leo who is what?
Age 46 has any interest whatsoever in Lauren Sanchez,
who's 51 years old or 51?
Yeah, 51?
No.
Zero interest.
If there's a number three in front of the girls-
Not gonna get it, she's attractive.
She's too old for him.
If there's a number three in front of a woman's age,
Leo hang got no interest.
The picture. They said it best. What do you say? He said it best when he said, listen, you know, the movie,
the, the, the mob movie that they created.
I watched it. He saw the Irishman. I watched it. Good movie. Little too long, but I watched it.
It's a matter of fact, the movie so long that Leonardo DiCaprio won't wait his day
to watch the movie by the time the movie ended.
It was too old to answer.
Exactly.
The girl he's dating right now, Camila Maroni, is 24 years old.
Makes sense.
The last girl he dated, yeah, you're coming back.
He was actually a girl from Miami who I know, hung out there a million times, Nina Agdol,
she's been in the cover of Sports Illustrated.
She just turned 29.
So he saw the writing on the wall.
He's like, listen, little too old for me.
You know, Leo, I think abides by the
half your age plus seven.
So he's 46, half your age 23 plus seven.
That's 30.
That's too old for him.
He's like half your age minus seven
is basically where he's at.
I said, that's illegal right there.
I think he just follows the half your age theory
is what he does. He follows half the age theory. Yeah. You know, one thing that's
surprising here is if you go back to the video, I see one person wearing a mask in LA. And
that's the waiter in the background there. That's way, do you see James Goldstein in the
back? He's the guy, the old guy with the hat along here. Yeah. He's at every single NBA
game in the. Yeah. Yeah. That guy's a made man over there in the NBA
Is there a is there a more eligible bachelor on the planet than Leonardo DiCaprio?
Is there Adam Sausne?
That guy getting married. He's just you know look look what happened to Clooney. Do you think you know?
He basically he went did his
We got five minutes pick a story you got you got five minutes
You want to go to approval rating because Adam always talks about approval rating go to page nine go to page nine approval rating
Okay, Biden's approval rating
sinks
Public disapproval higher than ever before the supposed millennial story results of a new poll released on Sunday
Show a further decline Tyler may want to pull up the poll.
And President Biden's approval rating coupled with the likewise increase in his
disapproval rating.
The poll shows Biden now sits at a mere 38% approval rating while his disapproval rating
shot up to 59%.
The poll was conducted at a joint effort of Sufalke University in USA today, which wrote
that it had found that Biden's support had centered at cratered among the independent voters who delivered his margin of
victory over former president Donald Trump a year ago. Vice president Kamala
Harris had similar results from recent polls. She is currently at 51%
disapproval rating and only 28% of those pulled approved of the job she's
doing. Whoa, that's very low.
It's crushing it.
So first thing that I thought of when I was reading this,
is obviously we were talking about yesterday
when we're pairing how reliable a poll,
what are this, what are that, what are the other.
So first thing I went to was where my head went was,
if approval-righted ratings matter,
and what do they say about the midterms?
If we read here, second and more importantly,
the third paragraph here, presidential approving ratings
in recent years have been a decent indicator of what
happens in midterms.
In the last four, meaning 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018,
the incumbent president's disapproval rating
was higher than his approval.
And in all four cases, the president's party
lost a sizable block
of the house seats.
And if you scroll down a little bit more, you'll see here just kind of where their ratings
were at.
So obviously I think that this is, does it matter on him and what he cares about?
I think there's probably an ego aspect of your approval rating this and the other when
you're in the office.
But beyond that, it's for me, it's the bigger indicator of what is the country saying, like,
where were things going?
And if the House flips in the midterm election next year,
it's gonna be very challenging for him to do anything
as hard as it has been right now
when he's had all three houses.
Moly, look at the change.
So for Clinton was minus 52,
party seats change, House midterms, minus 52,
damn. Clinton plus five on a second term, plus eight,
Bush, minus 30 push, Obama minus 63.
And on Obama minus 13, both times he lost, and then Trump was minus 40.
So Trump's the third worst between Obama and Clinton and Bush
and Clinton are the only ones that had a positive on one of the midterms. Wow. Okay. So when
is a Bush was how bad you think this is going to be would bite? How bad? The thing with Bush.
What do you mean by how bad? The flip. Oh, the house. Yeah. Are the the midterms? Yes. I think
they're going to get crushed. Like crushed, like worst son Obama crushed?
Nine to 63 like that?
Look, I can see that.
I mean, he might not know.
I don't know if he does that.
I don't know about that.
I don't know about that, but here's what I do know.
I think there might be people out there
that are gonna laugh, but that's fine.
I think we've seen the worst of Biden.
Like, he just had something-
He's gonna make a comeback.
I think he just had something this week
that's actually going to help him.
Think about what's happened over the last six months.
Number one, is not handling COVID, has not been effective.
The way that they left Afghanistan,
I think short-term that heard him,
long-term that might help him, long-term, when he, if he runs for reelection, which I don't even know if you will.
Afghanistan was a disaster short term.
Everything that's happened with inflation, with the supply chain, not good.
Obviously, Joe Manchin, Chris and Cinnum are getting in the way that let's go brand-in
thing.
I think a lot of the bad stuff has happened, And he's sort of weathered the storm sort of
but
He needed a win and he just got a win with this infrastructure bill and I've been talking about
The need for they've been talking about the need for an infrastructure bill for how long?
40 freaking years and in my opinion Trump really messed up when he went to tackle Obamacare and health care before the
up when he went to tackle Obamacare and healthcare before the before infrastructure. But speaking of net approval, so there's a website called 538.
You familiar with this?
Yeah.
The one we're on right now.
Okay.
Is this 538?
Yep.
Alright, so net approval.
How unpopular is Joe Biden?
Net approval.
Currently, he's minus nine., minus nine, Trump minus 18, Obama plus nine, George W.
Bush plus 76.
But whatever reason people love George W. Bush plus 76, Bill Clinton plus three and a half,
George H. W. Bush plus 37 Ronald Reagan plus 18 Jimmy Carter plus 24
was over the last that's over the last 40 years. All I'm saying is these things
are important and people didn't understand why Trump wouldn't get elected
again. His net approval rating was shockingly horrible. So so let me ask you
this question one more time. Do you think he's gonna be the president become the
goat of the most seats flipping? You think he's gonna beat Obama's record? I don't think he's gonna beat the president become the go of the most seats flipping
uh... i don't think he's gonna be the one that's a great record to hold by
the way how many seats you lose
catastrophic so let's talk about it because it's about to happen
will it be more than obama will be less than i don't think it will be more than
will it be more than uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... trump
i think it will be so what do you think the numbers gonna be fifty
uh... forty five and forty range and forty range okay what do you think it will be so what do you think the number is going to be fifty uh...
forty five forty range in the forty range okay what do you think it's going to be
sixty one sixty three
uh... i'm thinking in the fifty sixty range okay because sixty is a massive
massive number
and then again i'd say that i'm about afghanistan did you see this speech uh...
by the game like fifteen years ago or ten years ago
you got to hear what he said on the right way to leave afghanistan
okay stop stop stop stop 10 years ago you got to hear what he said on the right way to leave Afghanistan Okay
Stop stop stop stop stop
Okay, stop okay go
There's one Twitter video up there that's audio
That's right on up up up Tyler go up
And then to the left three tabs to the left there's a bar still video
Kai how does it feel to be on this side of the equation? I love it, I love it.
But you guys gotta see this thing.
What is going on here, Kai?
Okay, go back to...
Well, they're working on this.
Buy and need some victory.
You know, you were...
To win the crowd, you talked about winning the crowd,
you talked about gladiator.
Buy and need some victory.
Click on media, not many.
Click on media, go to the top and click on media.
It's the fastest. On the Twitter, go all media go to the top and click on media. It's the fast
On the Twitter go all the way to the top go to media right there. Okay
Okay, so then just go down
Until you get to the video go go go it's gonna come up
Here's what Biden said about the right way to leave Afghanistan 10 years ago make it bigger
Listen The order goes out from the press I'll make it bigger about what our option is. Listen.
Tomorrow the order goes out from the I'm present in a state of order.
15 years ago.
Or today, begin to withdraw all American troops.
It will take a year to get the American troops out.
Do you hear me now?
That's the truth.
It will take a year to get them physically out.
Now, if you leave all equipment behind, you might be able to do it in seven months.
And you leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind. I promise they're going to be used against your grandchild in mind someday.
Pause it.
Adam, what do you think about that? Do you agree with them? This didn't age well.
I was waiting for you.
I said, hey, you're not fucking, because, but here's the thing.
But here's the thing.
In an honest, I want you to be, does he not sound presidential here?
Yes, he did.
He did. He sounds presidential.
Well, that's when he was running in a way.
Yeah, but what I'm trying to say is he sounds like, listen, good for,
he made sense.
But so for him to say what he said then he did the complete opposite leave an Afghanistan
Yeah, and you've seen this nowhere in the media being shared you've not seen this anywhere in the media being shared David Harris
Junior shared this and then I posted on Twitter and
You know you hear a plan that he knew what was a writing to do and they still didn't do what he knew was a writing to
Just 30 years ago. I don't think he forgot about it. I just think that he was out.
How much do you respect Joe Biden?
I don't think it's a respect thing. I don't think he's a number one. I've never said I don't respect the guy.
I don't think he's a number one. It's that simple for me.
I respect you. I don't know if you would do a better job running this place than Mario
because I don't think you would wanna do that,
and I think your position of strength
is in a different place,
just like when's the last time you saw Mario on the podcast?
Yeah, I must have gone for the hundredth ever.
When have you seen Mario on the podcast?
Why not?
Why not?
So think about it.
So this isn't, I'm not,
this isn't like, I'm not a favoritism guy.
I'm very much about knowing who's gonna do good here,
who's gonna do good there, who's gonna do good here,
and ask that as job.
Biden's not meant to be there, period.
This thing got nothing to do with it.
I like him, respect him, or don't respect him.
It's just not his position.
You don't think he should be at the top,
is what you're saying.
I don't think he should be.
When he was running then, that's an advisor.
That's a guy that you're like,
hey, what do you think?
He was a great VP.
I think that's good.
Like when he's speaking like that, he made everything he said he made sense. Who'd be at better, hey, what do you think? He was a great VP. I think that's good like when he's speaking like that
You made everything he said he made sense who'd be at better number one him or Hillary Clinton
That's not a question. It's not Hillary's the number one Hillary's a number one. No question about it
She's not not a number one. I agree with the values in principle
You think she is an absolute number one. She's an absolute number one Obama's a number one Obama's a number one Trump's a number one
Trump's a number one Jimmy Carter
Not a number one. I don't know. No number one and Adam Adam is a number one to me and hopefully before 43 a number one for somebody
Thank you. Hopefully a number one for somebody. How does a number one? I'd love to talk to you more
I got to go cuz I got a dream team called
Gain really enjoyed it
I think we may do podcasts tomorrow set a Thursday because I'm gonna be in LA this week
But we will let you know if we do do it tomorrow. You'll once we post it. Having said that have a great Tuesday everybody take care. Bye bye. Bye bye.
