Yannis Pappas Hour - Sam Fried’s Bahamas Laundry Mat

Episode Date: November 26, 2022

Where in the world is Sam Bankman-Fried. While we search for him let’s talk about his Bahamas real estate. But don’t worry the media is serving us Dave Portnoy as a villain distraction. Yanni doesn’t let celebrities that hocked crypto off the hook that easily. Cain Velásquez has the support of everyone. Imagine the whoopsie of choosing his son to mess with. Something really fishy about the Taylor Swift situation and it has nothing to do with her fumeless nectar and all to do with the monopoly behind her ticket sales. Enjoy.

But I'm still going to be Yanni. I am a down-the-middle Muppet that's wished to life in order to guide current events into a wall. And I am here with Jared Harvett and Jesse Scuturo, and that's what we're going to do. Right now, the World Cup is going on, just started, and Saudi Arabia upset Argentina with Messi on the team, which can only mean one thing. When you put that together with 9-11, you go, I think God is on the Muslim side. FTX.

I mean, those are two big upsets, dog. Is there a bigger upset than 9-11 and Saudi Arabia beating Argentina? That is like the Western Kentucky Division I female basketball team beating Auburn. It's crazy, dog. I mean, this might be the only victory that the Middle East has had in the World Cup since 9-11. FTX. FTX, we'll talk about it. The kid with the Jufro.

Aaron Freed. John Freed. Steven Freed. Whatever. Whatever he is, he's Kanye and Kyrie's brethren. But this story came out at a time where we're trying to tone down that rhetoric of people doing weird things with money. Listen, this was like a 20-something-year-old kid living in a polymorphous, or whatever the word is. Amorous.

A polyamorous. Basically Mormon shit. a polyamorous, basically Mormon shit. He was doing Mormon shit down in the Bahamas, offshore, and now it comes out that he and employees and his family, they bought up, what was it, $100-plus million worth of real estate in the Bahamas. Nobody buys that amount of real estate in the Bahamas if they're up to good stuff.

You know, there's only so many beach towels you need on your chair. You know? I mean, God, there's a lot of people trying to unload their timeshares. They're going like, hey, man, I can't go to the Bahamas enough. Will you please take your family to the Bahamas?

I paid for this timeshare already, and I need to use it. Nobody's going to buy uh million dollars worth of real estate unless they're trying to clean some money that's what you tall that's what you call taking your money to the korean cleaners for a little wash and fold um and where in the world is sam freed where in the world is sam freed who knows you know people fucking rob a pack of chicks chicks from a bodega they go to prison you steal how much is he okay so stealing 100 mil billion whatever you just are still on the run they can't find him is he the new osama bin

laden is it why why don't we know where he is? It doesn't matter because Dave Portnoy is the real villain. We'll get to that. Taylor Swift. I'm a Swifty. I'll tell you that right now. Taylor Swift's tickets were going for $300 million. And that was for the back row behind the stage.

Taylor Swift's tickets are the new crypto dog. They are valuable. I told you we needed a new monetary system that was based on Taylor Swift's. OK, it's the first couple of minutes of the episodes, I'm not going to say and Jason Momoa's hair strand. Do I not seem like a prophet now? Do I not seem like a prophet in understanding early how valuable Taylor Swift was? And that's not even the most valuable part of Taylor Swift, her music. That's the least most valuable thing about Taylor Swift. The most valuable thing about Taylor Swift is her nectar. Kanye West is running for president. Have we jumped the shark? Does Kanye wake up?

Is there going to be a morning where he wakes up and he goes, I think maybe I've gone too far. I don't think so. I think he's rolling. I think he's watched Jonah Hill's documentary, The Tools, and he's just forward thinking. Cain Velasquez has pleaded not guilty to shooting at a truck driver who allegedly molested his four-year-old son.

I think the world thinks he's not guilty, and I think the verdict should be based on the facts of whether his four-year-old son was molested by that truck driver. Because even if the facts are not good, that Cain Velasquez thought that he did, it's kind of like that Chris Rock joke about OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown.

He goes, I'm not saying he should have killed her. But I understand. This is Long Days, and let's get to what's the dollars. Down this poppers. Yeah. When you all tucked up in the David Long days and let's get to say. Aw, shit. It's about to be a long day. It's a long day. It's a long day. I'm a father, right, Jared Harvin?

Follow Jared Harvin. Jay Harvin, 15. He's a funny kid. Follow Jesse Scatoro. All one word. Okay? If you're a historian, follow Jesse Scatoro. If you want to see what posts looked like before the pandemic,

follow Jesse Scatoro. All one word. historian follow jesus couture if you want to see what posts look like before the pandemic follow jesus couture all the way and if you want to know if you want to know what julio diaz and talent jr are up to follow jared harvin 15 because those three those three boys they're fucking constantly putting out content yeah so check it out. Here's the deal. As a father, I just don't see a crime here. I think Cain Velasquez, the story is he's a retired MMA fighter. Supposedly, some guy molested his four-year-old son. He chased the guy down,

and he shot at him. I'm not sure if he hit him or not. I think he's charged with attempted murder, assault, whatever it is. And I think, I think the, every single person on the planet is going like, I don't think this should go to trial. He pleads not guilty. I don't know, what would it be? Pleads not, it's not temporary insanity. It It's please not guilty because somebody molested my son.

So I think that's the one thing that maybe you get a pass at, right? Because if you think someone molested your son, that's probably bad enough. Right? Even if he did it. I don't know. I'm going not guilty. I mean, the only hope, the only hope that the prosecution has

in putting Cain Velasquez away here is if they can pick a jury that is all pedophiles. Because I don't think any other person is going to convict Cain Velasquez here. I mean, he's the most popular suspected criminal maybe on the planet right now. This happened in San Jose, California in March. He was later released from jail on $1 million bail, which I was surprised he could afford because he fights in the UFC. There you go, Jake Paul.

I threw you a bone. You know, Jake Paul makes a lot of good points about that, about like fighter pay and health care and stuff like that. So I throw him a little bone there. So he was released on $1 million. That was probably, he just probably had to do a Kickstarter and he probably got that 1 million and it was, he probably got that 1 million as quick as Taylor Swift sold out. He was like, yo, I need 1 million, uh, to post bail.

And the people were just like, you tried to kill a child molester. Here's here, here it is. Who knows? Maybe Sam Freed gave him the million. He's such a selfless he's such a selfless donor who wants to make the world a better place while he sits on a beach in the Bahamas

and fucks nine other nerds so I don't know I don't know the details I don't know I don't know the details I don't know if the guy's guilty But if he shot at him He must have done something If you chase a guy down in a car

He must have done something He didn't just take his joke You're not going to chase someone down for something like that. You chase someone down in a truck and fire at him, that guy either molested your son or you're in a movie with Mark Wahlberg. That's the only two options right there. That's only two options. I agree with you right there.

Here's the funny thing. Like, look at that dude. Of all the kids, right? Yeah, I mean, of all the kids to choose to try to molest, you're going to try to molest Cain Velasquez? He's a heavyweight UFC fighter. I mean, he's lucky the guy shot at him and didn't get a hold of him. He would have just squeezed and squeezed and squeezed.

Ground and pound. He would have just ground and pound and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed. Look at that dude. I mean, look at his head, dog. I feel like, doesn't his head just look like if you shot a bullet, it would just bounce off his head? Can you imagine trying to punch that dude and hurt him? Do you know how many hands you would have to have made into one hand

to affect that dude? Look at your flimsy little fucking knuckles and imagine hitting that thing. I'd rather punch a stone. Jesus Christ. That's bad judgment. The pedophile must have not known. Imagine finding that out.

Imagine being like, your father's who? Oh, no. He just found a note in the kid's backpack yeah oh no that's like you go home and you brag because you beat somebody up on the street and you go home and you're like yeah i whooped his ass and your dad goes what was who and he goes you know his kid john gotti jr your dad goes what oh no it's like the beginning of John Wick, but for kids. Yeah. Yo, this dude is so relieved, so relieved that Cain Velasquez is in prison.

Cain Velasquez would John Wick this dude. He's out on bail. Huh? He's out on bail. And I bet you he still wants to kill him. Even though he knows it's a crime, he'll go, I'll go to jail. He's like, I'll probably go to jail. And I get it.

Velasquez has asked if he can wrestle with Luce Libre on December 3rd. So he still wants to fight. I think that's pro wrestling. I think he's trying to make a little... He's trying to make a little scratch. You don't need to, Doug. Just do a Kickstarter.

It'll get paid for. People are supporting Cain velasquez if there's one thing people can unite maybe that's how we unite the world man you know if you really want to turn some of these republicans who like to make excuses for putin if you want to turn them against putin just just make up a story that he molested cain velasquez's other kid everyone is going to be on board. You get everyone on board. Dude, you get prisoners on board.

I mean, child molesters are, it's below anything. You know you've done something wrong when dudes who went into a grocery store and murdered the mom and pop who owned it are like, yeah, man, that's a bad dude. We got to do something about that immoral guy you know i think that's the only way you can unite the world i don't know why some it hasn't been utilized yet just make up a good story make up a good story you know be like

hey man this dude putin's got a farm full of kids just hey, we got the flight logs from Epstein's plane. Putin was on it. That'll get them. That'll get them cooking, right? Is there a more, like, pondered story by the right than Epstein's plane? They love that shit. Like, who's on that plane? Who's on that plane? You do not.

That's a plane you do not want to be on, or else the internet is going to be talking about you. Fucking 4chan and Reddit are going to have a dude. If you fix that, but if you put one wrench on one bolt on that plane, they're going like, what were you doing close to that plane?

If you were in an airport where that plane was docked, you're going like, what were you doing at that airport? What were you doing in that city where that plane was docked? You're going, I was driving to work dog. You're going, were you, were you doing at that airport what were you doing in that city where that plane was docked you're going i was driving to work dog you're going were you were you i think that's the way we cure the world just got to make up a story all the evil people that's it boom that's how you take them down immediately boom sounds a lot like pizza gate right wasn't that what that

was about pizza gate where the guys showed up with the ar-15 to Comet Pizza. I must imagine being the Mexicans going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here? There's just no, there's no basement. I don't even think they had a basement. They went down there, it was completely empty or something. That would be a weird place to keep the kids, a pizza joint. Maybe they got another spot.

I'm not saying, but I'm just saying, I don't think it's going to be at the pizza spot. That must have been an interesting moment for that guy who showed up with the AR-15 at the pizza joint when reality and the difference between reality and the internet was juxtaposed. It's like when you meet somebody who's talking shit about you online

in person you know and like hey man i was just kidding you know or like when you respond to a troll and they're like hey man i'm actually a really big fan you go so why did you you said you wanted me to choke on my mom's vagina juice you go i don't know man i was just having fun you're like oh it's because it's not a real place. You know, they started, the Pizzagate thing started with them trying, like the pedophile hunters, the internet pedophile hunters just starting to put all these things together

the way a schizophrenic person does. So they were going like, Podesta's emails that were released by uh Snowden right had some uh had some uh tie to this guy who owned the pizza place and then there was these two guys on the loose for molesting some guys I remember and there was like a police sketch of those guys and they said that those police sketches looked like Podesta and his brother. So somehow they just decided that it was all going down over a slice of the Coke.

Somehow they just concluded, as good sleuths do, that it was happening underground at the pizza joint. So officially the Pizzagate thing, while initially it was spread by at the pizza joint. So, officially, the Pizzagate thing, while initially it was spread by only the far right, it has since been spread by teens on TikTok, who otherwise, blah, blah, blah. The biggest Pizzagate spreaders on TikTok

appear to otherwise be mostly interested in topics of viral dance moves and Black Lives Matter. What a childhood now it is, right? Jesus, what a childhood. You know? When we grew up, we were like, yo, you want to play Super Mario Brothers? You want to go outside and play running bases?

How about kick the can? Maybe a little wiffle ball. I played wiffle ball. These guys are sitting around going like, okay, who do you think was on that plane? You're going, wait a second. Are they molesting children in that pizza place? And then they're also going,

hey man, what do you think about Black Lives Matter? Is it a Ponzi scheme? Is Patrisse Cullors really just out for herself? What happened to all that money? Where did it go? Record me as I do the gritty at this Black Lives Matter march. Yeah, it's a wild childhood now.

Dude, it must be so interesting to be a kid now. Like, it's just, you don't get a childhood kid now like it's just you don't you don't get a childhood that's the thing is you don't get a childhood that's the point is like there is no innocence you know do you feel that way like when you were 14 were you going like i'm voting for hillary tomorrow no like it's like you talked to 14 year old now they're like aware of politics yeah i dude i couldn't tell when i was 14 or 15 years old if you asked me who my state senators were not only did i not know i was not motivated to know also there was no way for me to find out because if you asked an adult they also didn't know it was like a beautiful ignorance where we

just thought about like more beautiful things like we weren't we didn't know about all the bad stuff in the world because there wasn't a million reporters trying to fucking shove it down our throat every moment so they could sell a goddamn Onnit ad. He makes a lot of money off Onnit, I think. So was that like when you were growing up,

was it like that? No, not really. Were you at the dinner table with your parents and you were bringing up topics it like that no not really you at the dinner table with your parents and you were bringing up topics no you were going hey little what the thing about putin is he did try to invade georgia but you know there is a there is a nazi battalion in ukraine so he obviously used that as a rationalization although the goal posts keep moving and your parents are probably just going like take his phone take the kid's fucking phone jesus christ and you're going like mom dad have you actually been to that pizza spot nobody's been there i want to see a picture of that basement and you're going take

his phone can you please just go outside these kids are like playing call of duty they're in the metaverse they're on tiktok trying to get something cooking by you know doing squats so their ass looks like fucking kim kardashian it's a whole new world of talk about paradise lost it's a world of being informed and also having fun it's like watching c-span and doing ecstasy at the same time it's a little mix of both right wait where's the fun though it doesn't sound fun ecstasy oh no but i'm saying being a kid though just being fun it's just like yeah what did your generation do for like fun i know what you did for fun i know what you did yeah burke talk breck play yeah

jared's a smart kid so what he did before i was read the read the wall street journal what was going on with the Dow? Yeah, on a Saturday, I was reading the thesaurus. Yeah. I think... I love when Jared knows news stories that I don't know. I'm like, aren't you 24? Yeah. Smart kid.

Yeah, dog. I mean, I get fun out of going to the grocery store now. Yeah. Jared has got to where he's got in such a 2022 way right now. You know? He started throwing jokes on an Instagram live chat. Yeah. I mean, everything kind of happens to the internet.

And now he's just like, fuck it. He was so good at that, I invited him in. Yeah. And now he's here. Our story is like a reverse pedophile situation. I groomed you for jokes. Yeah. I found you the same way

a groomer is fined. I'm like, yeah, tell me some more jokes. Do another joke. Kid can do jokes. I like young jokes. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah, you see that too, Jess, right?

Like, you see the difference in the way they grew up. Like, grow up, there's no innocence. I mean, that even they know as a teenager about anything Ukraine-Russia. As soon as they open their phone, there's free news everywhere. You used to have to have a job to be able to read the newspaper. You had to buy it. And when you were a kid, you had like, you know, remember when five bucks was a lot? You had five bucks.

That was like two slices of Coke. And then if you had, dude, when I was a kid, you had 20 bucks on you, dog? Do you remember when you had a 20 spot? Yo, when I had a 20 spot on me, I felt rich. Like $20, you were like, let's ball out. We'll get a pie. We grab some 40s. Remember when 40s were like $2?

Yeah. $3? We didn't buy the paper, but to read the sports page, that was it. Dude, this is the truth. This is funny because this is an interesting thing for people to know. You wouldn't buy the paper. You would flip it over. They would be out on the newsstand outside of bodegas.

So when you were a kid, yeah, you'd flip it over and then open it up and read it for free. You basically stole the news yeah for like a couple seconds you just want to see what the yankees do what's the standings you know if there was an article here about wade boggs you kind of perused it real quick but that was it you never turned it over to see what was going on with dan quayle they what did dan i don't nobody cared you know it's funny how that's changed man well they're trying to activate these kids get them young yeah that's when you're impressionable

you know yeah yeah you know that it's really like a fight for kids attention from corporations to media outlets politics politics because they're trying to get they're just the sheer number of them right and also the millennials is a big generation so much like the baby boomers it's a big generation so politicians have been pandering to them and that's what where wokeness comes from because they're going like we want votes the thing is that's why it's become popular in commercials in corporations in content in politics that's the direct reason why the democrats pay so much attention to wokeness is because they're pandering to what they believe is a strong portion of their voter base in the future essentially since you're so young well it's just the numbers's just the numbers, too. Even the right now, it's the

numbers. It's the sheer numbers. It's the sheer amount. It's the same thing that happened with the baby boomers, like with Social Security, Medicaid. They were all hippies, right? But they were a large generation. So just by virtue of the fact that we're a democracy, you need those votes. So you have to pander them.

In order to get elected, you had to give them what you had to give these fucking lazy hippies what they wanted and what they wanted was are we want our the government to plan our retirement uh you know we want our fucking we want to be when we get sick we want to be taken care of we want to be a burden on the system hook me up to every machine you got i don't want to die because i'm a selfish baby boomer, who grew up just in hedonistic pleasure, doing every drug, fucking everything, smelling armpit hairs, listening to the best music, and not wanting to work, because of the man, man, so when they grew up, and they got jobs, they were just like, you designed this whole system for me, man, or else we don't vote for you, man.

And these are the things I want, man. And that's essentially it, right? In a nutshell. Yeah. And so that wokeness is the same thing. Plus, when you're young, you're more impressionable, right? So they try and plant an idea in your head when you're a kid. True.

And then it's going to be harder to get rid of that. Yes. I think that's the secondary cause i think the first immediate cause is is the actual votes i mean you only have to be 18 to vote and they're always trying to mobilize the young um and what the young are into is that wokeness that's what what the kids want. There's a very, most of wokeness is a very good thing, right? These kids are socially conscious. That stuff is good, man. Like, all that stuff is good.

Look at the things that have happened that are good because of the pressure from that generation, which is, they're now older. They're like middle-aged millennials, right? They're like 40. 40, yeah. You're Gen Z. Gen what? Gen Z. z gen z so the millennials

gen z is not as big as millennials it's not as big of a generation so millennials were big people were fucking i don't know what what it was what was it was it because of keith sweat what happened why he sweat jody c yeah everyone was fucking i guess then genuine dance moves still look yeah it was just you got it maybe there's a direct cause between R&B was pretty kicking then. Because the Baby Boomers, it was post-war. The population was depleted, so people started fucking. The American Dream, they got the house, have the kids, two kids, the cars. What was it for the millennials?

It was Cisco. It was Cisco. It was the thong song. It was just the thong song is there a reason is there theories on that yeah because the boomers all had kids and there's a lot of boomers so there's a lot of kids from the boomers because the millennials are kids of the boomers yeah right yeah so they were just imitating their parents no there's just a lot of them there's a lot of boomers right so a lot of boomers had kids i also think cisco had something

to do with it definitely you know i think it had something to do it was a good roaring time you know those years they were coming to age you know uh they all started having kids right like the 90s they started having kids uh eight late 80s right so it'd be like 85 86 they started having kids people you know a lot of people had money. It was a continuation of the fruitful years, and people were banging. And then Cisco put out the thong song, and I think just dicks got hard, dog. Pussies got wet, dicks got hard, and it was on. It was definitely on.

But like everything human, it jumps the shark just like their parents who went from the hippies to the yippies remember the yippies and you're like what do you represent and they're like burn it all down keep it all up fuck me in the ass no work but no structure they did the same thing the yippies became like this railing against the patriarchy railinging against structure, railing against government, railing against schools, railing against work, railing against money.

You're going like, these are just the people who didn't, who never grew up. They just kept going, you know? They were reading poetry and they just kept going. You're like, hey, okay, listen, Sally. Now you're 29. I think it's time to take a shower. Just take a shower.

It's over. Go home. You know, Woodstock's over. It's done. Time to shower and get a job at a bookstore at least. Or open a coffee shop where you can hang fucking mushrooms on the wall and talk about Jimi Hendrix. What you say is nice, but somebody has to make my five-dollar foot long.

Yes. Get a job. So they eventually just had to get jobs but the yippies kept it going and they ruined it they ruined everything um yeah the yippies just kept it going like while the hippies all went home they were the people still at the party they didn't want to go home and you you're like, it's over. Lights out. We're closing. And the Yippies were like, we're not going, man. We're not going, man.

Turned into the Big Lebowski. Yeah, they turned into Big Lebowski. That's what he is. He's kind of like just kept it going. It's like, all right, time to put a suit on and get a job, daddy. Things are good again. There's nothing to rail against. You've won all the wars.

It's actually essentially Voting Rights Act, you know, civil rights legislation, all that Johnson stuff, right? Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, all the things that the baby boomers were fighting for, the politicians acquiesced and gave them, right? Whatever. Women are people, whatever they wanted. Acquiesced and gave them Right? Whatever Women or people, whatever they wanted

So I think The millennials were kind of similar in that way Right? Maybe they learned from their parents They had that sort of fight the power Mentality and they came in and they were like We want gay rights, that's a victory I mean gay marriage happened Recently and that was due to

Millennial pressure man Very good, what else did they do? I mean, gay marriage happened recently, and that was due to millennial pressure, man. Very good. What else did they do? Yeah, they've done a lot of good stuff. Racial awareness, very good. Police brutality, that is a problem. I think it's, based on the data, I think it's across racial lines more than it's portrayed by the media. I think they do it to a lot of people.

Disproportionately to blacks, yes, but I think police brutality is really the problem, more so than anything. That's good too. They've brought, and I'm missing a whole bunch of other stuff. What am I missing? They've done a lot of good, they've put a lot of good pressure for progress.

The legalization of marijuana. It's huge, right? All these fucking years you were allowed to drink and backhand your wife if she didn't make the garlic thin enough. You were able to drive home and kill families after you had a couple of Budweiser's at the pub, but you couldn't toke, sit down and listen to Janis Joplin and go, wow. You know, that was another good thing they did.

I mean, these are monumental changes and monumental progress that they were behind. But much like the hippies, the baby boomers, they kept going. They kept going, and they started attacking pronouns and genders and tearing down every historical person and indicting dead people and going, fucking, what is it, John Wayne. Throw him in hell. You're like, throw fucking Sean Connery, what he said in the interview

with Barbara Walters. Give him a little schmuck. Yeah, give him a little schmuck. Show your schmuck him. They started going after things from the past. They started forcing quotas on everything. They just kept going, kept going

a little bit too hard. They came after art. They came after art. That's why the Mona Lisa is covered in chunky, hearty Campbell soup. Yeah, well, climate change is another good thing I forgot. Renewable energy, it's another good progressive thing that they've pushed forward, millennials. These are all good things. They're all good things, putting pressure on your political establishment

to take some action based on good reasons. They pushed that. They did. They pushed that. They pushed that forward. But yeah, then they started coming after Kevin Hart for an old tweet. They started coming after Tracy Morgan for what he said at a fucking private club performance. They came after Daniel Tosh.

It was just, the list became endless, you know? But also, me too, another example of something good. Harvey Weinstein was fucking throwing everybody in a shower and getting a massage for a roll. Bad stuff that they came after. Then the next thing you know, there's an article about Aziz Ansari fishhooking some girl who was there consensually. And when she said, I don't like that, he stopped.

And you go, what's this fucking article about? Then there's articles about Dave Portnoy going, yeah, he's an irresponsible gambler. Yeah, he told us on his Instagram. It's Barstool Sports. It's not Merrill Lynch. It's not Harvard. It's not The Onion. It's a bunch of fucking community college educated dummies yelling about tits and sports gambling.

This is America. If you're not into it, don't like it. They keep going after this guy. Now granted, now granted, is he Keanu Reeves? No. I'm just trying to think of good people because there's only a few on this goddamn planet.

We're all scum. But he doesn't claim to be anything else. So they went after him for these girls, right? And then he pulls up all these messages from the girls showing the two or three girls that testified against him that these girls were messaging him afterwards wanting to hang out again. So you're going like, what's the story here?

And what reporter doesn't check with him and sit down with him and interview him to see if he has any facts, you know? They're obviously out to get this dude, right? Then now the New York Times just releases another one where they're trying to go after the Barstool Sportsbook and the company that bought into Barstool, which was a gambling company.

I can't remember the name. They mostly did slot machines, so they were not as prestigious as your BetMGMs and your FanDuel, but they partnered with Barstool and now have created the Barstool Sportsbook. So the New York Times worked on this story for a year. It was another hit piece on Portnoy, and you read it.

And I'm telling you, dude, I'm just reading. I don't know Dave Portnoy. I could care less. I read the article, and I go, what the fuck is the story? He went bankrupt at the beginning for $30,000 in debt. So what? You know, he filed for bankruptcy. So what?

And then he built Barstool so what a couple girls accused him of misconduct we've heard that story he responded to that story with receipts and you're going like those receipts do matter you know objectively now i don't know what else he's done that's what the danger of the shit when you when you fucking come out i'm just going on what's out there as a member of the body when you fucking come out. I'm just going on what's out there. As a member of the body politic, the population reading these stories, I'm reading them going like, what exactly is the story beyond sensationalism, beyond an agenda? Because I don't, where are the crimes here, man? Where are the crimes?

Where's even the misconduct? Because you're saying these girls felt weird about the interaction but then there's all these messages where they're messaging him afterwards going like let's do it again let's hang out again so you go what the fuck is that you know i mean am i saying anything that you would dispute don't be scared if i'm saying something that you dispute dispute it no i'm not you go off dog you good jesse am i saying anything that's that you would find a hole with no it sounds good it looks like if anyone's finding a hole it's a portnoy it looks like he was ready to sit down but he wanted to record he wanted a video record so

then he so the article comes out now it's the new york times so we're stepping it up from bloomberg right so new york times is the New York Times. They worked on this piece for like a year, right? They looked into all the financials. They interviewed former employees, all this stuff. You know, the theme of the piece is sort of the lax regulation on this emerging gaming and gambling industry. As states started to legalize it,

all these companies rushed in to try to capitalize on the market and make money. And so they're targeting him. And what's the company again that bought in? What's it called? Penn. Penn. That's the gambling company that merged with, they bought like most of Barstool,

and the goal was to create the sports book. So they're going after them and him, right? Specifically. By the way, I mean, you can't watch a game without an advertisement for it. Plus, like ESPN is promoting it, you know? Dude, I just worked for a company. We were getting the top athletes.

We were getting ESPN analysts on our show. We worked for a gambling network. I mean, dog, every commercial you turn on now brought to you NFL. You see MGM on the banner. It's like we're going after Dave Portnoy because I just watched the commercial with Tom Brady told me to gamble my parents' money. I mean, we're going after Dave Portnoy because I just watched the commercial with Tom Brady told me to gamble my parents money I mean we're going after him fluent influencing kids who do you think has more influence on kids Dave Portnoy or JB Fox or Jamie Fox he's everywhere yeah or JB smooth or how about or how about what's the portly kid that people say I look like who is upset because of the Chappelle situation?

Oh. The comedian. Patton Oswalt? Patton Oswalt. He was so upset. He was like, listen, I want to have a conversation with the fans. Dave is learning. But here I am in a gambling commercial with J.B. Smooth

because I'm such a, I'm a moralist. I'm so moral. Matt Damon, I want to yell at you about teacher salaries, but hey, kids, throw some money. Brave.

What was he, an FTX commercial? Or a crypto? It was definitely a crypto. Coinbase. It was either Coinbase, FTX. Hey, be bold about the future. Kids, put all your money

into a Ponzi scheme so sam freed could fuck a nerd girl on a rug in the bahamas crypto.com dude this virtue signaling shit has jumped the shark man it's totally jumped the shark now it's become transparent and all the receipts are out. It's there for everyone to see. You know, you got Larry David. You got Kim Kardashian, who had to pay a big-time fine to the FEC. I'm sorry, the SEC. You got Tom Brady, I've seen. You got Jamie Foxx.

I mean, the list goes on. Patton Oswalt JB Smooth I mean look I don't blame them their agent comes and says hey you want to be in this commercial for this amount of money they go yeah but I'll tell you what I tell you what lends more legitimacy to gambling and crypto

than Dave Portnoy it's fucking Matt Damon one of them's an A-list star. One of them is, no offense to your pizza reviews, but you're a pizza review star. You're a G-list celebrity. There's a difference. Fortune favors the brave. Remember those ads during the Super Bowl?

Yeah. Matt Damon mocked a new for fortune favors, the brave crypto ad as virtual currency values crash. Now here's my question. You can say these guys didn't know. You can say they all didn't know, right? Here's the thing. If you've watched long days, I knew we've talked about it for many episodes. And all I got was comments from people telling me that I was a boomer going, you don't get it. It's the future. And then I'd go, okay, explain it. And they would go, uh, why are you being such a boomer? And I go, that sounds fishy to me. Now, am I going to be a hypocrite and say, if somebody offered me

$500,000 to be in a commercial, would I surprisingly and mysteriously understand it real quick the answer is yes the answer is yes i'd go crypto is the future be bold be brave invest coinbase that's the only thing it's better than the federal reserve yes get in it put it on as many fucking nfl stadiums as you can by the way it's hilarious they're taking those names down now it's hilarious they just changed them, right? It was like Coinbase Arena. Now they're going, all right, take it off.

That's Staples Center. Go back to Staples. Because Staples is actually something real. You can get an office chair there. You can buy an office chair at Staples. So at least that's real. It's corny enough that all these arenas started being named after corporations. Don't you hate that

when you go to like Citi Bank Field? It's like, ah, let's go see JPMorgan Chase Stadium. I liked it better when it was Shea. It wasn't these corporations. Sports have gotten so corporate. It's gross. That was bad enough. And then it's Coinbase Arena.

Was that the one? It was called Coinbase Arena? I think it was Crypto.com. Crypto.com Arena, whatever the fuck it was. Crypto Arena, there you go. So in the crypto ad, if you remember, Matt Damon took viewers on a historical journey of brave

men and women. Yeah! Yeah, you know, you guys remember Rosa Parks? Just the same as a kid who hopped on the blockchain and bought a few ethereum same difference and how about the director wally fister dude these were super bowl commercials yeah so so my question you guys is is Dave Portnoy a fall guy for all this, for crypto, for gambling?

Because he was also into crypto. But he's not the biggest star. Where's the article about Matt Damon hocking that shit? These people were hocking that shit. The commercial, these mere mortals, just like you and me, as they peer over the edge,

they calm their minds. Maybe they really believed. Do you think they believed in it? Do you think Matt Damon, or do you think Matt Damon got a two-minute recap from his agent on what it was? And he was just like, throw me, put the camera, just say, just let me know when you're rolling. Or do you think he looked into

it or do you think he conveniently ignored the questions that he had about the whole thing what do you think i don't know when it became acceptable for celebrities to do commercials movie stars right you know that used to be taboo they used to have to run to japan yeah right that's when you'd see like a... Japanese kind of sounds like a center saying hike and trying to switch the play. A quarterback. Ben Affleck. Hi, guys.

I'm Ben Affleck. Have you tried hotuto Chi Tea? It's really good. And then you say, Why the hell? Ben Affleck. Remember they would sneak off and do that? George Clooney in a car commotion.

George Clooney. Hey, guys. I'm American movie star George Clooney, and I love driving in my Lexus. Clooney and I love driving in my Lexus but beyond that beyond them doing commercials because that's not a crime right that's not bad they're just getting their money I get it it became acceptable they were doing it in Japan anyway um do you think that they knew do you think that they knew it was possibly all bullshit in a Ponzi scheme and they were convincing naive and I guess the only way to call them naive, I'm trying to find a better word, naive, believing, what would be the word?

These people who put all their money in crypto and lost everything while Logan Paul and Gary V caked off by creating the market by going, just one phone, I bet you they had one phone call. I bet you it was a conference call where they all go, hey man, start posting about crypto and how much, how it's the future. They created the value for it.

Do you see how this works? Yeah. So they created the value for it. If your favorite celebrities are in the commercials, what are you going to do? if you see Tom Brady Tom Brady did one too, right? Tom Brady did something

he was big in it so you see Tom Brady in a commercial it was FTX too, right? so are you going to hesitate to invest your money on that what is it, a server? what do they call that? it was an exchange

on that exchange? are you going to buy and they were selling crypto. On that exchange, are you going to buy? And they were selling crypto, right? Yeah. So are you going to buy crypto on that exchange if you see Tom Brady in the commercial? Is there a more legitimate person to endorse your bullshit product

than Tom fucking Brady? So what happened was all these kids and families were going like, put your money in crypto. Some of them made a little money and got out, but you know how gambling works. They made a little bit and they were like, keep it going. Because Tom Brady says this is the future. They just named an arena crypto.com.

This is going nowhere. Crypto's here to stay. Dude, how funny is how quick it happened? Wow. Dude, I mean, this shit collapsed in months. Look at the price. But that's just Bitcoin. No, yeah, there's some this shit collapsed in months. Look at the price. But that's just Bitcoin. No, yeah, there's some coins that are worth zero.

Yeah, I mean, most of them are dying. Bitcoin's still holding strong. But Bitcoin, and that's what people message me now. They go, hey, I heard you had Rogan. I heard you. I get these long messages. And these are the messages that I was getting during the pandemic, too, where people were trying to school me.

Like, you know, this isn't trigonometry here. I'm not trying to understand fucking physics. It should be a pretty simple thing that we, if you're telling me to put my money into it, it should be a very, okay, here we go. Giannis, enjoyed your episode on JRE, but please, man, Bitcoin is understandable, exclamation point. These were the same fucking messages that I was getting when we were talking about crypto in our early episodes. I would get

fucking harangued. People would call me stupid. It was hilarious. And all I was saying was like, this is all bullshit. It hit you with have fun being poor. Yeah, have fun being poor yeah have fun being poor it was constant uh and then i i retweeted one guy i retweeted one guy he tweeted he goes he goes i never invested in crypto and i have to say it was because of yannis's takes on long days he's i just want to say thank you i retweeted i said you're actually welcome at least i saved one guy that's a real tweet you can go back and look at my shit um people use it all he goes bitcoin is understandable people use it all over the world and he put an exclamation point as if there's something wrong with me for questioning it amid this environment he goes exclamation

point it's understandable and the exclamation point is to go you dummy you dummies right people use it all over the world, especially when their government-issued currency fails from hyperinflation. Okay, now that happens to currencies, so I'm not going to argue with him there. Separate Bitcoin from crypto. That's what he said. He's instructing me to separate Bitcoin from crypto.

This sounds a lot like the separate socialism from communism fucking rationalization. Now, you know, I also railed against socialism on JRE. I was just on Joe Rogan again, 4P. Kid likes me. What can you do? He won't have me on the fucking Save the Parks episode because that's the only way I'm going to sell tickets. Just have me sit next to Shane Gillis.

Don't fucking bring me down there and have a serious conversation with me. Like I'm Dave Smith. I want to laugh, Joe. I want to make some jokes. Nobody's going to buy tickets to hear me talk about how you got to respect rule of law. He,

I, he's one of my favorite people on the planet. He's just, he's a, I love that dude. So, you know, so I also railed against socialism on it. And then of course I got these messages going like, what about Vietnam? What about China?

And I'm going like, you guys like, everyone's looking for their confirmation bias, right? Like nobody just look, nobody does a quick Google before they attack you. They're just, they already believe. They're like, I voted for Bernie, and I'm just stuck there. And I'm going, hey, man, I like Bernie too. But you have to understand, even Bernie wasn't calling for pure socialism.

And then they were saying, they were criticizing, they were going like, you guys are conflating socialism and communism. Well, socialism is communism. Pure socialism is the engine of communism we're not talking about a mixed economy right so vietnam why did vietnam start flourishing i don't know why don't you check your nikes you dumb fuck check your new nikes and see where they were made were Were they made by fucking Joseph Stalin? Were they made by Bernie Sanders? No, they were made in a Nike factory in fucking Vietnam. What do you think that means, you dumb fuck?

It means they opened up their economy to the free market and then all of a sudden they started thriving. Look, I was raised by a limousine limo fucking fake commie too. And she used to tell me that communism is the most beautiful idea while she did it in Fendi shoes. So can we stop this shit? Can we stop this shit? My mother had a shoe collection that looked like a fucking department store

while she was telling me about how America ruins communism all over the world. Can we stop this shit? Do you know how many millions of people were murdered by communists because you're not allowed to be a person? When you elevate the group over the individual,

guess what happens? The individual's rights get overlooked. Will you fucking stop it? God damn it. There's nothing wrong with socialist checks. Socialism works very well as a temperance to capitalism, right? Socialist programs are great. The argument isn't for pure socialism. The argument is for

the degree of socialism we should have. That's how adults speak in the real world. It's a mixed economy. The only thing that seems to work a mixed economy a mixture of free market and socialism that every country in the world has including china and vietnam because what how great was vietnam before nike showed up now i'm not saying nike doesn't fucking take advantage of their workers and die you know what i'm saying that's another argument but when they open their factories and people started working what i'm saying that's another argument but when they open their factories and people started working and jobs started going there guess what's happening the place starts to flourish do you see what happened dude have you ever seen those pictures of china

like hong kong or something like in the 1970s and now like have you ever seen those juxtapositions pull one of them shits up it's, it's incredible. What do you think did that? What did that? I'll tell you what did that. The free market. That's what did that. What do you think happened when we started making our shit there

and our entrepreneurs and businesses started opening there? Things flourish. Why do you think cities are started in the first place? New York didn't thrive because people were in love with Prospect Park. They weren't like, oh man, we got to go to, have you seen this poet?

This poet over there in Brookvine or whatever they called Brooklyn before it became Brooklyn? You know, Brookhaven, whatever the fuck they called it. Brooklyn, some Dutch name. Have you seen this poet? No, it was because business was coming in and out. It was a port city and it was businesses.

Businesses, cities arise. Look at that shit. Now tell me when did Nixon go there and open shit up? 71, something like that? Something like that, yeah. So hmm, makes you go hmm. Makes you go, hmm. Makes you go, hmm. Look at that shit, man.

There's a reason why those cities look so good. And there's a reason why our cities look so bad, because we sent all of our jobs and industry over there, so they basically started Cleveland here, and then they finished it in Asia. It's a good line from a previous episode, but now that we're bigger, more people will hear it. 72.

72, ooh, what a coincidence! You know, so they were making that same argument to me and I'm going, dude, are you children? I'm not talking about a mixed economy. I'm talking about pure socialism, essentially communism. Okay. I think the data's out. You know, you can't keep running around going like it's never been tried. It's been tried a bunch of times and every time. Why do people want to swim on their shoe to get out of it? Why do the people who live under it go, dude,

trust me, it's not good. How come when you go to Cuba, it's like fucking they're eating your shoes and they go, oh, well, it's because of the embargo. So you're telling me the system is so weak that if one country goes, we're not going to trade with you, the whole thing crumbles? That doesn't sound like a good system to me because there's another system that does something else

no matter who doesn't want to trade with it. It still kind of flourishes a little bit. I mean, you can hurt it. Don't yell in the comments. I understand trade wars hurt certain industries. I understand. but i'm saying we're not eating our shoes i still got a hundred pairs of sneakers here is that excessive maybe that's another argument bernie has some points can we talk like adults why is everyone a fucking child except jared harvin who acts like he's 50 i mean why are these why why has the internet become a college dorm room? These are

the things I was saying when I was in college. You know what I mean? You're like, I'm a libertarian. You go, hi, I'm 17. Are you going to read me about, are you going to read, are we going to read Ayn Rand's book together? Hi, I'm a communist. You go, hi, I'm from 1920. It's weird because all this stuff keeps coming back As if we haven't been through it again Even the Kanye stuff This is a ranty episode, not as funny What are you going to do?

Even the Kanye stuff, he's coming with the Jew stuff You're going like, dude, we've been down this road We've been, just like, come on, Kanye Take your mood stabilizer and get back in the studio You don't have to convince everyone you're the original Israelite. You want to convince someone you're the original Israelite?

I got a better thing you can do. Why don't you go move out of Hidden Hills, go buy a bunch of buildings in a black neighborhood, and open some businesses there. And then people go like, wow, maybe he is Jewish. Yeah, look, he's just trolling. His first tweet was Shalom.

And then now he's running for president. So there we have it. Yee's account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me. So he's saying he didn't do it. Elon. Yeah. Sure they didn't, Elon.

But maybe they did. I mean, the guy's spinning so many plates, dude. Just please make my Tesla work. He had 40,000 things recalled because you're over at Tesla fucking commenting on people's tweets. Elon, who is they? You fired most of the company. Yeah. It's you.

We talk about they. It's just him sitting in an empty office. His office right now looks like a stockbroker's office in Long Island after the FBI raids it. It's just him sitting there alone with hands on his fucking face going, where is everybody?

You fired everybody. Anyway. Anyway. anyway so you know i guess i'm wrong i stand corrected bitcoin is separate he goes separate bitcoin from crypto much of crypto is a ponzi attempting to be the next bitcoin now there's some truth to that, right, Jess? I'm sorry, say that again. He says much of crypto is a Ponzi attempting to be the next Bitcoin. Well, we'll see where Bitcoin is. I mean, it's early yet. They always say that the technology

is going to be something that they could build platforms on or whatnot. Right. But as of right now, the blockchain just takes too much energy. It's too complicated. And also, I still don't understand the concept of money costing money and then increasing in value from the other money. I still don't get that part.

That part's just speculation, no different than the stock market, except you're investing in something that isn't a company and has no inherent value. So that thing's weird to me. And you know, I'm not the only one who thinks that. I think there's someone, a little billionaire called Warren Buffett, who said the same thing. I think a lot of people secretly think that. I'm not going to give away my joke that I use in my act because I need it, even though that would have been the perfect place for it. Yes. We're living in that era where you're like, should I do this on the podcast or save it? But then I do it on the podcast and then I have no act. He goes, no one can make more out of thin air like the FTX token.

They're a separate thing and Bitcoin Bitcoin has real-world value, not just people expecting it to be worth more. I don't understand that. It sounds like gobbledygook to me. Did you catch that? No. No one can make more out of thin air like an FTX token. They are separate things, and Bitcoin has real-world value.

Well, what is it? What is that value? Is it just dollars? So then why don't I keep the dollars? That's my point. I think he's saying FTX is bad and Bitcoin is good. Yeah, but he's saying like it has real world value, but we know what that value is.

That value is how much someone is willing to pay for it in dollars. So you're going, and then you're going, yeah, you should invest in it because it's going to be worth more dollars. But then I go, what if it's worth less dollars? Why don't I just keep the dollars? And then they just go, have fun being poor. And you go, okay, I think I get what's going on. You're driving up the value of this. Cause let me ask you a question. I'm not going to say your name. Do you happen to own some Bitcoin? Do you have a vested interest?

Are you an objective, regulatory-like observer who's just objectively telling me that Bitcoin is value? Or do you got one and a half Bitcoin on the blockchain, my friend? That's my question. Yeah. You know,

this is like Michael Jordan telling me, hey, man, Jordans are really the best sneakers. And I'm going like, I do like Jordans, but I don't know if you can be objective. You know what it seems like? It seems like crypto is a rowboat.

And it's like, it's only going to get somewhere if you put in the work. And you are the consumer buying it. So it's like, if you don't do anything, it's not going to work. So like you're saying,

he's enticing you to participate in it. But if you don't, it's not going to go anywhere. like you're saying he's enticing you to participate in it but if you don't it's not going to go anywhere right i'll just an addendum to that i think it's his rowboat yes and he wants it to get to the other side of the land and he wants me to get in it and row it he might as well be selling tupperware yeah yeah it was actually a good i think it was a good analogy i think we just had to finish it yeah i think it's yeah it's a robo crypto bitcoin is the robo here um guess what it's his robo and he needs people to hop in it in order for it to be a using robo yeah and he wants that robot to go over there and over there is his mansion that he's gonna build with every one of my strokes is that accurate yeah and he's like yo we got to go to my mansion and you go dude i'm already home yeah you go dude every one of my strokes. Is that accurate? Yeah.

And he's like, yo, we got to go to my mansion. And you go, dude, I'm already home. Yeah, you go, dude, I already got a house. You know? And if I start,

if I row in your boat, I already have a job. I can't leave that. He's going, trust me, dog. It's going to make, I promise you, one day you'll be able to get a mansion just like mine.

But you have to pick up that oar and row for me now, and then one day you'll have your own rowboat, and you'll tell other people to get in your boat, and then you go, hey, man, this sounds like there's nothing at the end of the tunnel. This sounds like going up the chain of Scientology. At the end, you go, okay, show me the alien head, and they go, actually, there is no alien head. But it did make you work harder, didn't it? There is hope.

And also, I'm rich now. So thank you. Because seriously, the hope of an alien head is a lot better than seeing the alien head, right? It's almost like when you're trying to hook up with somebody, the butterflies you get from doing it is almost better than when you're trying to hook up with somebody, like the butterflies you get is almost better than when you do it. Unless they're really good. Enjoyed listening to your episode. Going to check it out.

Bitcoin is a Ponzi is a really bad take. I just want to respond to you for a second, Kevin. This is the same exact thing that was said to me a couple of months ago. I just want to forewarn you.

I think the verdict is not out on that yet, but it's possible that it is a good take. I think it's just as possible it may be a good take. We'll check back in on this. Mister, I'm not going to say your name because that's legal problems. You actually just said his name.

Did I? Yeah. What did I say? I'm not going to say it. I only said the first name, though. Yeah. because that's legal problems you actually just said his name did i yeah what did i say i'm not gonna say i only said the first name though okay yeah um but that's not his name i was obfuscate i was oh nice nice yeah um is a really bad take go after the rest all you want but try go after the rest the things i don't own go after the ones i don't own and look i feel bad dog i don't want this guy to go broke but you know it is what it is um and learn because it's easier to understand than curling is it easier to understand than curling because i still don't understand it no he's quoting one of my jokes he saw me live obviously um is it easier to understand than curling you're a smart

guy been around for a couple of years i still still don't understand. You still don't get it. Do you get it? No, I don't get it. I mean, crypto is the same value as Dave and Buster's tickets to me. You don't really understand the value, but you're probably going to get a pencil at the end of the day. You walk out with a little pencil. Yeah, I don't know.

So, yeah, the Dave Portnoy thing is weird, man. They just go after this dude. And then, so what he did was he posted, he posted the receipts from his interaction with the journalist who was writing the story. And she was saying, these are the terms.

And he was going like, okay, I'll talk to you, but this is how I want it. Everything's recorded. Everything's, um, filmed and we can both use it however we want,

but we just both have it. Couldn't be a fairer offer. Couldn't be a fairer offer. And that exchange took place over a year. Now, I'm not defending Dave Portman. I don't know. Based on the article, I'm going like, that's not enough for me to look down on him.

I don't know who else read that and thought that. Did you read the article? No. You know, if there's more, I don't know. But based on that article, I'm going, so what? We all know this about Dave Portnoy already. Didn't he get dragged by Insider.com or some other magazine? Well, Insider was for the sexual misconduct stuff,

and that was the receipts provided that he gave from the DMs. This was about him being a degenerate gambler and influencing kids negatively and the sort of lack of regulation. Bigger picture about the lack of regulation and standards around this new emerging industry. And they used him as the poster boy as someone who's irresponsible,

influencing kids wrong, and just it's a murky water, right? And that he's a degenerate, he gambles a lot, and he's influencing kids to gamble just it's a murky water right and that he's a degenerate he he gambles a lot and he's influencing kids to like gamble and stuff like that i'm not going to argue that that's that has some truth to it but like we said is it worse than tom brady convincing kids to buy on uh coinbase which is they're all fucking people have lost all their money at least you got a chance to win if you bet on the celtics it's a real thing it's an actual real thing you know what i'm saying at least you're going hey i believe in jason tate tonight it's something that i can understand you know

you're not going hey you just have to see the you have to dream of it you're like dream of what just dream of it and then it's just the answer is only a critique of the current system and you're going like that's not good enough. So then now he's come up with the receipts from that exchange over a year. And she didn't comply. They sent him an email a day before. And these journalists are so stupid that they wouldn't think that he'd be keeping all this. That he just released all these other emails.

You think he's not going to show the world this thing? And so the exchange is they she just disappears for months and months and months doesn't respond to him about this interview um then she says she wanted wants to do it and he goes okay but you got to come to me i'm not playing this game i'm in miami now come to me if you're writing a massive report you just hop on a plane to miami and you go and you get you know because you're trying to be a good journalist that is the giveaway there the giveaway there is like if you were truly being a good journalist you'd want to sit down with him even if he made it a little hard which he didn't he made it easy you'd want to get his side just in the interest of objectivity but obviously that's not the case and then a day before they released the article, they sent him an email and they say,

you have 24 hours to respond to all these questions. And he's going, fuck you. I want to sit down and have it unedited and air. So he ends up looking good. I mean, I don't know what to tell you. And it kind of indicts what is currently the journalistic process that we're all kind of suspicious about.

It just makes us trust them less and less. You're going like, he just showed us how the sausage is made, so to speak. We've seen it. And we're kind of going, that's not fair, man. I could see his point that that's not fair. That's not fair. I don't know. Happy Thanksgiving anyway.

You know? Yeah. Yeah. What's your favorite dish dish Not the cranberry sauce I don't know how that made it in I don't know how that got in the club It doesn't have ID And it's not hot

So I don't know how it got in How it got into the Thanksgiving dish Cranberry sauce It's gross It's tart I'm not a fan I like it with the juxtaposition The flavor of the turkey though It goes with the turkey Yeah I put not a fan I like it with the juxtaposition The flavor of the turkey though

It goes with the turkey? Yeah I put it on turkey You like cranberry sauce? Like Jared's saying in the right setting It can't come out of the can though It's gotta be made homemade You don't wanna taste that

You wanna get that metal aftertaste on it Yeah Oh yeah nah nah You're not dumping it out of the can Nah I don't even look at Thanksgiving as a holiday I just look at it as a day to watch football. Yeah.

It's like a football holiday. Watch football and get yelled at by your wife. Yeah, that's basically it. I mean, I'm not a big Thanksgiving fan. I go straight to Christmas. I'm not a big fan of Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law and wife already got the decorations up. I'm coming home.

I'm putting on Christmas carols. I start early. Christmas carols right now. I put them on. I'm coming home. I'm putting on Christmas carols. I start early. Christmas carols right now. I put them on. It's all day. Alexa's just playing that shit while she's listening to what I want to buy. Yeah, and there's no good Thanksgiving music. There's no good Thanksgiving music.

If there was, it'd just be like Indians coughing from pox. Yeah, you just hear like, whoa. And then you just hear swords. Ching, ching, ching. That's all it would hear. Just killing. Ah! Screams. Gargles.

Thanks for the turkey. Thank you for the turkey. Now you must die. That would be the song. Yeah, what happened? They gave Mr. Whitey a meal. They sat down and had a meal or something. be the song yeah what happened they gave us a way to give the they gave uh the guy they gave mr whitey a meal they sat down and had a meal or something and then uh white man said all right now it's time to die they go would you like it would you like an after dinner drink and he goes

actually no no we got other plans for after dinner yeah take it all yeah we're taking it yeah pilgrims were the first Jeffrey Dahmers. In what way? You know, gave them a show, you know, comfort them, welcomed them, and after they ate, they killed them. Yeah. Yeah. It's exactly right. They didn't see it coming.

They're like, wait a second. We just watched a movie together. Wait a second. You just offered me a beer. Yeah, man. Are you familiar with the insect spider? You know what spider is? Well, this is a web, and now you die.

So thanks. Thanks for the turkey. Gobble, gobble. I got to get some Taylor Swift tickets. Does anyone have 3.2 million? Taylor Swift tickets, does anyone have 3.2 million? Now, this would be a good place where, like, you kind of agree with AOC, right?

This is a problem. This is where monopolies become a problem. This is what happened with the railroads. This is why the FCC exists. Like, you know, everyone played the game Monopoly. That's the downside of capitalism. Once someone has a monopoly, they can't lose. And then the whole thing that makes capitalism good,

free competition, is no longer possible. Right? So what happened here, Jess? You got to take out a mortgage to go see Taylor Swift. Yeah. Or just buy a couple of Bitcoin and sell it.

Or do a crypto commercial. One of them will get you one seat. So what was it? Ticketmaster and they combined for this? Yeah, apparently Ticketmaster and Live Nation are the same company. So they kind of have a monopoly on live events. So whatever Live live nation whatever concert they put on you have to buy your tickets to ticket master okay so we know what happened here let's be

honest we know what happened here demand was high right demand was really high because she hasn't been on tour in years or whatever she puts out this new album you know people want people want to see taylor swift the pre-sale goes up. There's a big rush. Yes, the sites crash, just like Obamacare site crash because there's so much traffic. They weren't prepared for it. But then the prices go up, not just because of the demand,

but maybe there's a suspicion that because they have a monopoly and they're not really in competition, perhaps maybe they were buying some tickets to re-sell them at a higher price ticket masters exclusive deals with the vast majority of venues on the eras tour the eras tour required that lets you know that i'm not that big of a fan of Taylor Swift because I would have known. It's the Aris Tour. The Aris Tour required us to ticket through their system. AEG said. So they're

just trying to clear. They're just trying to clear Taylor. They're going to say nothing to do with Taylor. I don't believe it did have anything to do with Taylor, right? AEG Presents comment is the latest show of finger pointing after the public ticket sale was canceled. So they're all blaming each other, right?

I suspect that they drove the price up with bot purchases. That's what I believe. Why not? Why wouldn't they? If you have to go through their service, you know there's a high demand. Why would you not do that? It's hard for me to believe.

Now listen, Taylor Swift's very popular, but It's hard for me to believe. Now listen, Taylor Swift's very popular but it's hard for me to believe that the demand would get so high naturally that tickets will be going for like $16,000 or $36,000. That smells a little fishy. I mean, there's a lot of big acts that go on tour and this has never happened. So just conveniently now they have a monopoly. They've merged, merged right did they merge at some point live nation and um oh yeah the same company now yeah yeah so they merge so this happens after they merge um and yeah the new

york times reported the justice department had already opened an antitrust into investigation into live nation's practices so yeah something's fishy here. Something's fishy when a Taylor Swift ticket is going for $36,000. Look, people need to eat. They're worried about their gas right now. Do you think they're really that hard up when they look at the thing and they go, I bet you even if a girl in the outskirts of Illinois wants to go to Taylor Swift, and she goes on the website, I guarantee if she saw that it was $300, she'd go, I'll just watch the videos. So it's a little suspicious. And I think this thing just got kind of a little out of hand.

Like all, because criminals can't stop. That's the thing. It feels so good. You ever get away with something? The rush. I remember I stole Exlax out of a Neoguard pharmacy. That's the thing. It feels so good. You ever get away with something? Ah, the Rush. I remember I stole Exlax out of a Neoguard pharmacy. Exlax. I don't know why I did it.

Because it was like chocolate and I stole it. I think it might have been the only thing I ever stole. That's a lie. I've stolen a few other things. At grocery stores one time recently, I had the waters on the bottom of the basket and I just pretended like I forgot that they were down there. Oh, you just did that recently?

Yeah. Did it recently. I stole about 24 bottled waters. I apologize. What can you do? None of us are perfect. I just incriminated myself. I didn't say which one I did,

and also, it's comedic license. I'm joking. Never happened. You steal the same things that single mothers steal. Yeah. Yeah. Or like desperate refugees who are dehydrated. There's no reason.

I mean, it's not even expensive. I think it was like two of them for six bucks. So, I don't know. So that's probably what's happening here is they're driving up the price. You know? You got to be a little suspicious. Just the same way I think you're suspicious

if, you know, a digital coin goes up, is worth 34,000 real dollars. You go, something's weird here. Someone's artificially driving up the value of this taylor swift tickets are inherently not what is that valuable like dude what's a front court seat you know how much guys love hoops and how much they would kill to be front court how much is a front court seat to the new yorkicks or the Los Angeles Lakers,

where the rich people are. You know how much men love basketball. Is there anything better than being courtside? Oh, it's the best. It's the best. So what is the highest value of that? And let's compare it to the upper deck of a Taylor Swift concert, which she's doing a whole tour of.

Okay, $61,600. That's for a whole tour of. Okay, $61,600. That's for a front court seat. For the Lakers. For the Lakers. It can go as high as that. That's pretty high, and I believe that that's real. Because there's rich people, and that is a coveted, coveted spot.

So I don't think Taylor Swift has as much value as courtside as the Lakers. No, not at all. I don't think so Swift has as much value as courtside as the Lakers. No, not at all. I don't think so. Tickets are just, yeah. Jordans for white girls.

Unless she was handing out bottles of her nectar, then I would believe it. This is a big theme going around. We can wrap this whole episode up in one big bow of bullshit.
