All I'm gonna be is ill jumpo.

All I wanna be is ill jumping

out of ten pieces.

All I gotta

Hello, everybody.

It's Monday, June 2nd, and this is your Chopo.

Joining Felix and I on today's program is the host of the Adam Friedland Show, Adam Friedland.

Adam, how's it going?

Well,

it's good to have you back.

A GQ, a gentleman quarterly on the program.

Yeah, okay.

I just saw stuff.

I got a real...

I mean, I assume every group chat of every comedian is just having a great time with those pictures.

I thought they were good.

I thought it was a good profile.

Yeah.

Should be called Scoundrels Quarterly, right?

Just to kick things off on today's show, a little bit of news that caught my eye before

logging on today.

It is the return of Biden spokesvampire, Matt Miller.

Did you see that this guy's cropped up back again in the news?

The rapper.

Yes.

Yeah, Matt Miller.

Matt Miller.

He did an interview with Sky News, and former Biden official Matthew Miller says, Israel has without a doubt committed war crimes in Gaza.

He says, Speaking to the Trump 100 podcast, Matthew Miller, who was a State Department spokesperson, was the face and voice of the U.S.

government's foreign policy under Mr.

Biden, revealed disagreements and tensions and challenges within the former administration.

He says it was without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes, that Israeli soldiers were not being held accountable, and that there were disagreements all along the way about how to handle policy, and that he would have wanted to have a better candidate than Mr.

Biden for the 2024 election.

Now, he sort of defends himself here by saying, quote, look, one of the things about being a spokesperson is you're not a spokesperson for yourself.

You're a spokesperson for the president, the administration, and you espouse the positions of the administration.

And when you're not in the administration,

you can just give your own opinions.

So I think it's safe to say he has been fully exonerated and he was just simply doing his job.

Yeah, I mean, it's, it is very revealing because it's like for the people that, you know, I didn't know he, he had come back to life, Mac Miller,

and descended to this position.

For the people that Mac Miller knows, like, this is exonerating.

Like, of course, yeah, you.

Brandon.

Yeah, you, you,

if you, if you're working for Brandon, yeah, of course you would say all these things that you know aren't true.

Like, I'm just doing my job is completely exculpatory for that.

And I wonder, like, what's his current job?

You know, like, I mean, is what he's saying on this podcast a reflection of their priorities or what?

Or is this his point of view?

He's streaming on kick now.

Yeah.

He's a gambling streamer.

He has a stake deal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he has a stake deal, and he also runs the gimmick account,

Asian People Wildest Moments.

It is good.

But he co-runs it with the libs of TikTok, I thought.

Well, yeah, no, they have the same management.

Yeah, I mean, we're all under the same management.

She's with Cchescu's guy, right?

Yeah.

Chochescu's guy who founded the account, Filipinos, going savage.

No, that was Wardell.

Oh, yeah.

When I said Brandon, I realized you thought I meant Joe Brandon, but I meant Warden.

I caught that at him.

Oh, I missed that.

I missed that.

Late rapper.

Well,

speaking of rappers, this is actually a good segue to another sort of quick hit that I saw before coming on the show today.

This is one of my favorite genres of story where

former members of the mafia weigh in on issues of morality.

This is the headline from WorldStar.com, one of my favorite news sources.

Ex-mafioso Sammy the Bull says that Diddy needs to have his brains blown out, calls his freak offs pure evil, and says he would be killed if he were in the mafia.

I just love a guy who like killed people for money, weighing in on

whether someone else is pure evil or not.

Sammy the Bull killed like 30 people, right?

Yeah.

I mean, I do, what publication is this for?

Sorry, I didn't hear.

World star.

Okay, I was about to say, I was about to say, like, why is Financial Times asking Sammy the Bull?

You know, But I get it makes sense that, I mean, you watch like Vlad TV and all those channels.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, of course.

All the interviews that aren't with like Boozy, it's just interviewing like mafia turncoats.

And I get, that's, like, they're always, that's like the only, those are the only people that will always pick up when they're like, hey, I'm revealing more mob secrets.

Or here's what I think about Diddy.

Yeah,

I kind of had to put on the dress when I took those pictures.

So I kind of understand a little bit what they must have been going through at the freak-offs.

But

and this is like, obviously, Diddy's legal woes have led people to speculate that Donald Trump may pardon him because, you know, like they were good friends.

Wasn't Diddy on the Apprentice?

And Trump did say, I might pardon him.

Why not?

Just why the hell not at this point?

But this is

sort of like

Trump coming up this week, he also pardoned,

what is it, the GD guy, Larry Hoover?

Uh, he commuted Larry Hoover's

commuted his sentence.

Oh, no, no, the real

concert for him, yeah, him and Drake, and we all made fun of him at the time because not me, not I took it seriously.

I mean, you were right.

Well, all of us, we were me and me and the other members of the B D street gang.

Oh, in the wild hundreds, yeah, I was over there watching, and we were like, What is this going to do to free Larry Hoover?

What was like a Chicago murders?

You You, Tim Poole, the BDs.

Yeah, it was the rest of the Chicago crew.

It was, yeah, me and all the other people who knew Vaughn, me and Tim Poole,

the only white boys in the building.

And we were like, Larry Hoover isn't getting out from this, but look, look what happened.

Through Trump, all things are possible.

But he also committed

some federal gun charge for NBA Youngboy.

Yeah, which raises, I mean, he might like pardon Lil Dirk for

the least careful murder for hire scheme ever i mean why not wait yeah what remind me again what did little dirk do like he uh hired someone to kill someone and like did it all over text messages or just yeah he like took out a billboard like

are you a professional assassin yeah yeah he he yeah he like but he set up these like interstate murder for hires and was like

No even attempted a code.

It was like, hey, did you shoot that guy that I paid you for?

So

you had no trouble.

Yeah, you had no trouble getting

the guns in California where I sent you, right?

But I mean, like, why?

Like, who cares?

Why not?

I really don't care about,

I mean, he's cool.

It's cool.

I love, I'm a hip-hop head, so is Felix.

I mean, he respects the culture.

He's good for the culture.

Honestly, like, speaking of WorldSar, that is kind of how I follow public sentiment.

It's through WorldStar.

I knew that Kamala was cooked from the comments on World Star Instagram.

Yeah.

I knew she was done.

And then also the Kanye, like with the anti-Semitism,

people were like, he's an artist.

Let him speak his truth.

And then when the cousin thing dropped, people are like, I can't with Kanye no more.

So

that's kind of how I track.

It's kind of my like, yeah, I'm like my Frank Lunt's kind of system.

It's a pretty good, it's a pretty good system, honestly.

like yeah

uh little dirk like just some background on this case so you know the oblock murder case the oblock rico oh i like the back of my hand well okay you know that shooting that happened in 2020 in chicago and it was a big deal because it happened in the gold coast which is like it's sort of like the upper east side yeah the oprah part yeah so they found out that like

Oblock, which is like King Bond was a part of.

Lil Dirk wasn't, he didn't grow up there, but he was like affiliated with those guys.

And the speculation was that like for years that he like supplied guns to these guys and shit.

People would say, like, I don't know how he hasn't been indicted yet.

But around that time, when all these guys he knew and like, you know, people had speculated about were getting federal sentences, he was like, I'm a Muslim now.

I think I'm going to get my degree actually now.

And it was like the most important.

Degree in Muslim?

No, degree in high school, which is a prerequisite to get your Muslim degree.

Good on him.

I mean, it seemed like it was.

Five pillars, geometry, biology, AP history.

It was like he was doing the stuff you do in prison like before,

like it's a vaccine.

Right.

Right.

I saw it.

Did you see that video of King Vaughan being like, I'm gay, I'm gay.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Protective custody.

Yeah, if you tell them you're gay, you get to go into the gay part of the prison, which is I would do even before I got to prison.

It seems so mean in there and scary.

And he was like laughing while he was saying it.

Is this making the episode the hip-hop 40?

Yeah,

we have no.

I love it, actually.

I saw some commentary on this by people who had been to county, Cook County jail.

Rob Lukojevich.

No, he was

in federal

holding.

Possibly common.

Yeah.

They were like, this is a good, like, if your op is in PC, you should do this.

Oh, to get the guy in the gay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, how do they determine if you're gay or not?

You just like, you just have to say your word for it.

You just have to say it.

I mean, it's not like the Turkish military where you have to make a video.

Yeah.

I've always said I would just, if, if, if I was being beaten up and, you know, used as a, as a.

flashlight, I would just, I would tattle.

I mean, I don't understand why that's not like a more common thing.

I mean, a lot of guys do tattle, but then you're just like, you're still in, you're still in prison.

Yeah.

So

there has to be something in the rules against using me as a fleshlight.

I mean, there is, there is, I don't know, I haven't read that.

They're not like very good at protecting those guys.

Oh, you don't know me.

I would tattle all the way to the warden.

I was thinking the other day about like, what if my aunt was a hostage on October 7th?

And literally October 8th, it would have been over, the war.

She's she's that annoying.

It's funny, also, they did send back the old ladies first.

And can you like, I mean, sorry, I don't

listen, I don't want to, you know, Hamas is not funny to me.

Okay, I've said this plenty of times, yes, yes, but sending back the old Jewish ladies first, they must have been like being so annoying when they were hanging out.

Did you see, did you see that video where like the Qassam fighters are like taking pictures of that old lady?

Like, they said, Well, because yeah, they gave her a Zan.

She was borrowed out.

It was sick.

She was like, you guys are great boys.

She was like, goofed.

Yeah, she was taking sticks.

I've said this before, but I want to make a movie about like just Ohio State kind of a Felix kind of guy that those kind of guys he likes that like hears that you get pussy and it's free if you go on birthright.

So he lies.

And then he gets, he goes to the burning man next to the Warsaw Ghetto thing.

And then they, and then he gets kidnapped by Hamas.

And he's like, yo, I'm just here to get, I heard it was free, and I was trying to get pussy.

I'm not even Jewish, I don't even like the music, I don't be a good movie, and then so then,

yeah, Hamas is like, Okay, we need you to be double agent for us.

He's like, Of course, dude, I don't even like Jewish people.

He sends him then, uh, the Israelis intercept him, they're like, We need you to be a double agent for

us.

Oh, double tussle,

and he's like, Dude, can I just fucking go, dude?

I would like, I didn't even, I was just trying to get pussy for free from Sheldon Adelson.

This is so annoying dude I like it yeah so they sent him back and then it kind of in an

ishtar way like yeah he accidentally solves the you know but it would never get made in this current climate

it's my big idea for a movie

yeah I get laughed out of meetings they won't even let me take the Fiji water

listen sir I'm the millennial Jon Stewart oh my god I didn't even say that i want to i have higher aspirations than jon stewart i want to be the millennial fucking you know larry king no like bill maher maybe bill maher yeah yeah you fool

did you guys see that club random is shutting down yeah

well i mean talk about things like not being appreciated in their time yeah no yeah because of what the woke uh i just think like

i mean i think they like overexpanded i think there were too many club random podcasts of him so much i can't I need, I need to chill with him.

Felix, you're going to say no, but we have to chill with him.

No, no, I agree.

Like, I know, you're going to bail.

I know you.

You're going to bail at the last second.

I'm going to be at the

freak off with Bill.

I'm going to be like, here's the address.

And then Felix doesn't show up all night.

That's never happened.

And I'm going to, I'm, they're going to put their dress on me.

You're going to abandon me.

I don't think I'm going to.

I'd be wearing the dress, and it's going to be me and Uncle Phil from what's it?

What's it called?

Carl Winslow.

Carl Winslow from Family Matters.

I don't think that

Reginald Val Johnson

Bill would put the dress on.

I think

they would tell him, like, you have to put the dress on the next up-and-coming campaign.

He's the most powerful man in Hollywood.

No, no, he would be like, I think the brothers have been through enough.

Haven't the brothers been through enough?

The brothers have been through enough.

They're carrying about if their ass looks.

Apparently, he has the biggest penis of all time.

That's not surprising.

Which is so awesome.

It's so awesome awesome to think about him having that in his pants and just being like no of course you peasant of course no babies have died in gaza you guys see

did you guys see jake tapper on uh real time with bill maher over the weekend i'm trying to get him so bad for the show yeah well i mean uh like it's it's weird it's sort of i sort of feel like uh everyone got the same talking points about gaza because like not in terms of policy but in terms of public opinion there does seem to be like uh sort of a crack up in the glacier here with, like, you know, some governments and people who are like being like,

it kind of seems like they're doing the G word.

But Jake Tapper's statement is that what's the G word?

Who, Hamas?

Yeah, well,

them among other parties.

Well, you're speaking code.

So Tapper said it's G?

No, no, Tapper did not say it G.

He was saying it's the opposite.

And he said Z.

He went Z.

What if you let him finish what he's telling you?

I'm just

having, I'm goofing as if I've never tried the war.

Will's trying to tell you, and you're like,

Felix, I was 10 minutes late.

I was 10 minutes late, and you didn't allow me to get water.

You're basically Jeff Bezos.

I'm basically in an

Amazon facility.

Walk in your apartment.

I was in Stopi's world.

I'm at the studio right now

where I work and I live.

Thank you.

I won that argument.

Will, go ahead.

What's going on in Israel right now?

Sorry.

I'm vegan.

All right.

All right.

I'm moving to the next story.

What are tappers and what?

Okay, well, okay.

Tapper just said, he was like, the problem is that everyone sees Israel or like college students.

The problem with them is that they see Israel-Palestine in this enforced dichotomy between oppressor and oppressed.

And that's why it makes them so agitated about this, because they see Israel as oppressors and Palestinians as the oppressed.

And the talking point goes that this is sort of like a Marxist dialectic way of looking at the world.

And you have to to divide everyone into the oppressor and the oppressed, and that means you can kill the oppressor.

It's true.

But like, I don't know.

I'm meaning Nicole Brown Simpson as someone who's been stabbed to death.

But

in fact, that's a Marxist dialectical.

If you read theory,

in fact, O.J.

Simpson is the one oppressed by his wife hanging out with a waiter.

Well, I mean, like, I don't know Boldman.

I don't know what the, I mean, the argument, like, is it a point like that there isn't oppression going on there or the oppression only goes one way and it's Palestinians who are oppressing Israel?

It's like a replay of that.

Like, remember when before they settled on like DEI, how they were really, they talked about like critical race theory all the time?

Yes, yeah, yeah, it's true.

Yeah, it's sort of like a replay of that, where it's like, oh, it's this like fucked up view of the world where like some

people are oppressors and some people aren't,

which, I mean, it just, it seems to like fly in the face of how they talk about things.

I mean, they like they're saying that also

you'll be killed if you're a call you're a jewish college student at columbia so is that like oppressor like what what is it yeah i mean like is the argument that there is no oppression going on in the occupied territories or just that we shouldn't care about it i think it's one of those things it's a mix of we shouldn't care about it and like oh really you learn the history they always extend the time of the the conflict you're learning the history of a 10 000 year old conflict from a tick tock that's the the best one.

Breaking it down into oppressors and oppresses.

Yeah, this is so old.

You have no idea.

You have to learn.

They didn't just arrive at the end of the 19th century.

No, no,

this has been happening for 50,000 years.

There were dinosaurs.

Well, Marco Rubio said predates humanity.

There were chimps fighting over this.

There were Jewish.

Marco Rubio said this week that America wouldn't exist without Israel.

Marco Rubio said that?

Yeah, he did.

Oh my God, Felix, we're fucked.

Felix, I still think about that conversation we had about

they're going to take white away from us and it's all Will's fault.

And I know that I'm sucking up to you now to get,

you know, back in your good graces because I cut Will off on his story.

But we're going to, we're going to lose white and we're going to be literally like old men.

We're going to have to learn how to not be white.

It stinks.

I mean, well, by then it won't matter um for us but of course it'll matter maybe i don't know i've dreamed of not being white now

it would be a waste

yeah yeah i mean it's one of those things where it's like why wasn't this happening when i was in middle school

we could have been in freestyle club yeah oh my god we could have been doing yeah we could have been battling with eli

the different world i i don't know i think that like european anti-semitism is too it's like too there's too much like reading for americans but i do think that like there is some effect when like like the official message of this government is like the government shouldn't help you do anything it it's funny when people die in plane crashes uh if you're on if you're on social security go yourself we don't owe you anything But also, if a Jew ever feels like kind of nervous, we have to send in like the FBI.

If you're like a guy in North Dakota, like a a 19 year old in north dakota and you see that like what do you think yeah it's if you're watching like yeah marco rubio say like say america wouldn't exist without israel you would start there's a good chance you would start thinking like turner diary things right or like why do we let bb just do open mic night in the middle of our government whenever he wants to What other country do they let the guy talk at the government?

And get even get yelled at if you don't go.

Like if they were like, you skip the speech of the president of Azerbaijan, well, yeah, what's wrong with to be mean to the current president, too, to fuck with like Obama and Biden, he just comes out like, yeah, like it's the Apollo, but he, he did drop that one fire bar last time.

You could tell Jerry's writing for him now.

Wait, what was the bar?

What was it?

They say gays for

Hamas.

That's like saying chickens for KFC.

Holy shit.

I bet Seinfeld did write that.

That is so Jerry.

I mean, that sounds like Jerry.

Yeah, yeah.

That'd be funny if Michael Richards was writing for him at the speech to Congress.

It'd be better if Michael Rappaport was writing.

Oh, Michael, that would be a great speech.

Yo, what up, God?

That's how he starts.

Yeah,

BB is saying dead ass on dog

type shit.

Hamas,

October 7th type shit.

October 7th type shit was 50,000 9-11s combined type shit.

Hamas committed 50,000 rapes against fine shit.

That was at the concert.

I got another story here.

I didn't get a chance to get to this story on our last show, but it is pretty astonishing.

Are you guys familiar with that Italian guy who was tortured in Soho for like two weeks and then like escaped nude onto the streets of Lower Manhattan?

Oh, yeah.

That is a nightmare of mine having to escape somewhere nude.

Yeah, it's like an anxiety dream.

But no,

so apparently he was tortured by these like crypto guys who like kidnapped him and like tried to get his password for his like crypto wallet from him.

But

yeah, but the headline here is: NYPD detectives on Eric Adams' security detail may be tied to crypto millionaire torture case.

So if that's I'm voting for him again.

Two members of the NYPD, including a detective in Mayor Adams' security detail, have been placed on modified duty this week after links surfaced to two crypto businessmen charged with kidnapping an Italian tourist earlier this month.

Sources close to the case tell News 4.

Sources familiar with the case say NYPD Brass learned the detective assigned to protect Adams had provided security at the Prince Street townhouse in Nolita, where a crypto businessman John Waltz and William Duplese allegedly tortured and held captive an Italian tourist for 17 days.

Sources believe the detective working off duty for the two crypto businessmen also picked up the Italian tourists from the airport earlier this month.

So, I mean, the case here seems to be that like an NYPD detective was moonlighting a security for these like crypto sharks and then escorted this Italian guy from the airport to his kidnapping, essentially.

Oh, man.

I really feel.

Like, think how bad you feel when you get out of an airport and then immediately you're naked and getting beaten.

i feel

by businessmen i like yeah it's one thing to get beaten by like heavies like a mafia guy but like a business guy god i'm not going to say no one's had it worse than this guy but it's pretty bad it's the worst it's pretty much the worst besides how besides how felix and i have it currently as jews in this country it's the second

well i mean business men they keep calling them um but i mean like they they held this guy for almost almost for over two weeks and apparently he didn't crack apparently he didn't give them the password which is like really you know like casino i know you would have squealed my camera this guy yeah yeah wait so he was a what's i feel like i need more info he was a random tourist but they knew no he was not a random tourist he was a crypto whale and i guess like i guess they maybe got wind that he was traveling with like i don't know like a flash drive with like millions of dollars on it but they just need like a password to just take the money so that's why they were torturing him like for his password

It's like Pokemon is now money.

It's like, I don't know.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about this.

It's like, imagine.

Pokemon?

Yeah.

Imagine having like

tens of millions of dollars just like on a flash drive.

And the only thing stopping someone from just putting in their pocket is like your password.

I mean, like, you know, your ATM number is one thing.

That's not like tens of millions of dollars in your checking account.

Right.

It's not all your money.

Yeah, it's not all your money.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what that is?

And you can only take out so much money.

Imagine like, some guys have like tortured you for your ATM code.

They take you to an ATM and then you have to like withdraw millions of dollars in increments of $200.

You know, before the pro like before it became really easy to buy crypto in the last like, you know, decade or so?

You had to go like pedophile part of the internet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you have to go to a website called like Mt.

Gox.

And it's like, that's embarrassing for everyone.

But one way, I heard that like one way, like there were some cartels that would like transfer or like hold large sums of money in like Counter-Strike skin lockers.

So, like, someone's been tortured for their Steam password the same way, probably.

Well, it says in the story that he uh, he did uh give up the password after his weeks-long ordeal.

So, I mean, you know, I mean, he's a passive.

I would have cracked a lot earlier,

I would have cracked a lot earlier than him.

Uh, but the article also says it is not unusual for members of the NYPD to moonlight on outside security jobs while off-duty.

duty it's like should it should like shouldn't that be like illegal or something like shouldn't you have to like yeah officially retire from the force before you can start being like a private police officer for uh criminals

yeah it's one thing to like work security for like a bar or even like an actual company but like if you're like hey i'm just security for this guy that's just you're a hired goon yeah it's just like how many guys are getting are getting paid to be hired goons like this

economy's rough out there, but it says boom times for goons.

For gooners.

For Arsenal, dude.

Can you apologize for that Arsenal?

It's not.

The gooner joke is, it seemed like you're having so much fun with it, but it means a lot to me.

I haven't done that in years.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Okay.

I never even made fun of them.

I said I'm a gooner.

Adam, we're all bloody gooners for life, Adam.

Thank you.

Will's a sports guy, too.

You should have been the first to stand up for me while Felix was gooning on me.

I don't think this is ever an attack on Arsenal supporters, Adam.

Now, these children think that it means masturbating your penis.

Okay, the last time I told that joke, it was years before gooning meant jackets.

It seemed like it was so fun, though.

I was having fun.

I was like, I wish this wasn't hurting my feelings.

Why did it hurt your feelings?

Because I care so much about this.

But I'm not.

so embarrassing it's the being an american soccer fan is it's the worst kind of guy you could be no it's like a being a ted light it's like being a just sending the worst gift to a like a work reply all

like just the most awful guy in the world at like someone that's like what are we doing say like a guy that's like hump day hump day almost there that guy is when i was when i was when i was 19 i would stay home from parties so i could watch yushin okami fight in Hamburg, Germany.

What is that?

Oh, exactly.

MMA?

Yeah.

Well, you were right about now the most popular.

It's saying that it sucks now.

It's never been worse.

MMA is bad now.

It just sucks now.

It's terrible.

Really?

What happened?

It got rid of all the wokes.

I mean, kind of.

But no, it's a long story, but basically, the way that they do sponsorships and the

sheer volume of UFC events per year means that there's no more middle class of talent.

Like guys who would probably never contend for a title, but were exciting and could make a good living through sponsors.

We made fun of the guys who had,

they would wear shorts with a condomdepot.com plastered across their ass.

But that was like most fighters are never going to fight for a championship, but like all the, there used to be tons of fighters who were not, they were outside of the top 10, but they were they were gatekeepers to the gatekeepers and they had tons of fans.

Stepping stones.

Yeah.

And they could make like they could make decent money through sponsors, and then they got rid of that.

I have it in now with that because my friend Steiney from the Nelk Boys is friends with Dana White.

I had him on my show, this guy, this fellow Steiney, that's uh on the Nelk Boys, the full send podcast, and he was at uh UFC ringside with Dana White, and he's had Trump four times on his podcast.

That's what are we doing with our lives?

Well, I mean, he should be, if he wants to save MMA, he should aggravate Dana's Menir's disease.

What's that?

I used to think it was totally made up because a bunch of like Menier?

Menier's disease is like an Aalita Dunham thing.

Well, that's what I used.

It used to be like when you would make fun of a guy online who said they were a veteran, they'd be like, I actually have Menier's disease for my surface.

So I thought it was like, you know, chronic fatigue syndrome for men, but it's apparently a real thing.

And Dana White has it.

And it just, it just sounds like being hungover all the time, which maybe he is, but maybe it can be provoked and we can save mma i don't know i don't know i can maybe see if steine could put you in touch he's very close with this dana white dana white would he would go you goofball and hang up on me that's what he calls people he doesn't like goofball is sick yeah he's been calling people it's like calling someone a bum yeah he's like you're a goof it's funny to call like a lady politician a bum it seems a little misogynistic but you can't explain why you're like pelosi you fucking bum it's It's funny, right?

Yeah, she's a bozo, a bum.

A bum.

Yeah, like you're in the beachers at Yankee Stadium.

Anyway, cut that because I now have a responsibility to society, so you can cut that bum part.

I don't like, I've asked you this before because I, I, you're talking about your new friend from the Delta Boys, but I don't think I.

What do you mean, new friend?

You're jealous.

Like, I can make him your friend.

You called him your new friend.

Well, he is a new friend, but the way Will said it was as if, like, oh, I've moved on.

No,

I want us all to be friends.

I want you, me, Steve will do it.

Felix, if he wants to show up, freak off.

Oh, fuck off.

What do you mean, fuck off?

Why if I show up to most things?

I'm teasing.

Okay, go ahead.

Adam.

You're my best friend, the Nelk Boy, is your new friend.

I don't think we need to gauge levels of friendship here, but I guess what point is I was asking is like,

I know you've explained this to me.

And I guess I'm going to do it again for the benefit of our listeners.

I still don't really understand who the Nelk boys are.

I know they're very influential.

I know they do crazy numbers.

They've had Trump on four times.

And I guess I'm just wondering, like, as you've described it to me, it's like a podcast with guys who get drunk with each other.

Are they still on there?

Well, it started as prank content, and then it became lifestyle content.

It was started by Kyle and Kyle Forgaard and Jesse.

And Jesse left because he got sober.

And it's tough to be around that group if you're a sober gentleman.

That's what I'm saying.

But it was a lot like some kind of monster, the Metallica documentary.

Exactly.

If you can't fully send it, like, you know, that's part of your responsibility and your job.

Right.

But then the prank content became, there was a podcast that started around COVID time, 2020, called the Full Send Podcast.

And they've had, yeah, like Elon Musk, the richest man in the world.

You know, they've had the president.

They've had J.D.

Vance.

Yeah,

Dana White is a champion of theirs.

I think it's so interesting.

Steve will do it.

He used to

be phenomenal, this guy.

I knew about him before because he would be in FaZe Banks' vlogs.

And he was just like, FaZe Banks did treat him like a medieval buffoon.

Like he was just this like oath that FaZe Banks kept around where he's like, hey, check this out.

This guy will drink an entire handle of vodka.

That was a lot of $48.

content.

A lot of checking content.

And now

he wasn't in FaZe.

He was just like FaZe Banks was the king, and this was his jester.

So yeah, he shoots with a crossbow.

And then Steve became like a real person with a bank account.

Steve is, he's the talent of that world.

He is, he's tremendous.

I think he's like the right wing Hassan.

That's my, that's at least makes sense to me in my mind.

And guess what?

He's having a lot better of a time.

I'll tell you that.

But no, no, but

are they actually right-wing or do they just have right-wing guests on?

Are they just kind of like

guys who just sort of absorb politics by listen?

The truth is, this, guys,

the three of us were losers, right?

We liked politics as kids and we got called gay for it.

And it needs to go back to that, right?

Not the Tony private schools that I went to out of.

Everyone likes politics now, right?

Yeah.

So these guys are like, because they have a platform, they're, they've now, I mean, what?

It did more for Trump to do fucking full send podcasts three times than for Kamala to have Oprah

to have Beyonce, but they didn't have enough money for her to sing.

I mean, like, think about it that way.

Like, it makes it

more pathetic what's happening on the other side, to be honest with you, that they haven't figured out that you have to chill.

You have to crack a Happy Dad, which is their brand of hard seltzer, which we bought.

I bought $300 of Happy Dad on a DoorDash before

Steiny came.

And

yeah, I mean, that's what's interesting about the show in general with me is that I've made a living online for nine years, but I don't really know much.

Like, I kind of like know a little bit, but I'm not like deep in like what things are.

Like, when I had that guy, Destiny, I was like,

I didn't understand that this was a world of arguments, like debating on Twitch.

His life, his life fell apart after he was on the outer prison.

Not that I'm saying.

Well, it's another Bam Margera situation.

I mean, it's a classic Barry Margera.

It's a classic

similar.

No, I mean, but for me, it's like, I remember I was like telling, like, people were talking to me as, and honestly, I did it partially out of spite because people were talking to me.

They're like, you have no idea what you've done.

You've like awoken

a giant.

I think I, and I was like, what is this?

these are people that have, these are arguing.

It's the arguing celebrity and arguing celebrity.

Yeah, it's really big for people who, like, you know, when you see a post on Twitter where it's like, my political evolution, age 11, social democrat, age 12, fascist, age 13, integralist, age 14, Maoist, like the people who have been.

I think he's brought a lot of people away from Peterson.

I think that that's.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, a lot of his fans are like 16-year-olds who are like, well, you guessed it.

I've changed religions for a third and final time.

Yeah.

I'm now a Unitarian.

Yeah, yeah.

I think, which I don't know, whatever.

Just because like I don't understand this, and then I do like research for two weeks.

It's like, for me, I still kind of like approaching it as an outsider.

I have a lot of internet people that are coming on this season.

And it's just like my initial reaction is always like, if the show is put in a time capsule and then taken out in 50 years' time, I want people to to be like, it's really embarrassing.

That was fucking gay.

And I know I'm on chat, but I can't say that.

What's a word I can say?

It's those just say it's whack.

Whack isn't good.

There has to be something.

No, it's not.

It's not very good.

It stinks.

People were people, they and they weren't embarrassed of themselves.

That's kind of, I think,

has some merit to it in a loose sense, where it's like, if I can kind of just

have it speak to that, that would be worthwhile.

Well, Adam,

you mentioned that Trump going on the full Sen podcast four times probably did more for him than

all of the earned media that Kamala did, or like, or just any of the traditional media sort of stovepipe to talk to the public and talk to your voters, create a public perception about yourself, a brand in the public consciousness.

One of the stories we've been covering on this show over the last couple of weeks is like there have been a spade of articles and like announcements from the Democratic Party and their like official

sort of think tanks and organs that they're going to be investing money into like how to make how to go viral like online and how to like attract specifically young men with like content that speaks to them and like they're like yeah we need to be less scolding and like morally hectoring young men and we need to like do cool stuff like drink beer and stuff so like adam like this is i'm just wondering like like when you're in your interactions with like the young male uh like uh influencer sphere, like, what do you think the Democrats are missing that that Trump does so well here?

Is it just like...

I have way more respect for those guys than the Democrats at this point.

I mean, I just,

what's apparent with kind of like the MMA kind of nootropic side of the internet is that, yeah, they're just like fucking...

There's no ideological kind of project.

The truth is this, Democrats can't say a bunch of shit.

There's like a ton of shit you can't say if you're a Democrat, right?

So, Republicans can say whatever they want, and that's why they're kind of they've won online, you know.

We're not for

you, fellas.

Uh, we're the last people, uh, try we're the last uh bastion of sanity on in this fucking world,

but like like Democrat, Democrats, yeah, I mean, that it's I think more than anything, it's that they can't like

they're unable to like have pattern.

You know, like Trump can talk about like things in the news or pop culture and have like a patter to it because he's able to make jokes about it or

give his opinion.

Every time that you've seen Kamala or really any Democrat on something like the Breakfast Club or something like that, everything is so non-committal in a way that's like antithetical to

that type of content.

I don't know.

Pete kind of smashed it on Schultz, though, right?

Pete Lowkey smashed it.

Oh, wow.

I'm serious.

I'm not even joking.

I was like, I'm not even joking.

I was like, this is the best

a Democrat has ever done.

This is the best Pete's ever done.

He's going to get caught in

a closeted straight scandal, though.

Well, no, but think about it this way.

Here's a better example.

Like Zuckerberg during COVID was doing all that

fake news censorship about the vaccine and and like rates of the whatever yeah yeah he had that like uh congressional hearing and the stock price plummeted right so then he got muscles and a chain and like all the guys that were like you're an enemy of free speech are like you're fucking sick now but it's like yeah obviously like there's a an incentive or there's like a benefit you know it's like it's better for for his business right i mean i asked steiny that i was like but like what do you fucking owe this guy if he's just trying to use you and he's like dude he'll do fucking numbers dude and i was like yeah you're pretty much right i mean do fucking numbers dude well i mean like i to your point like i i think this speaks to a dynamic where like i i really think like the people who run the democratic party and like their most motivated voters and like the media that speaks to them like it is from top to bottom all produced by people who got like perfect scores on the sats and were like really really like good at doing homework like smart in the traditional sense like i don't mean this is a value judgment but like they don't know how to to talk to stupid people.

And I'm not using stupid as an insult here, I'm using it as a compliment.

They hate, they loathe stupid people, they loathe people like Trump won because the voters are so stupid, which like drives me nuts.

It's like they're acting like they were molested in the election, like it, like, uh, and there's no concept of like representational democracy.

It's like that they were hurt, they were abused by the, by the voters.

It's, it's repulsive.

Beyond that, they're just like that.

It's reprehensible to me that they think that

Oprah at a rally is like what the world is.

Like I said, one side is like people who they loathe stupid and lazy people.

And let's be honest, most people are stupid and lazy.

I'm including myself in that category.

Most people are chill, dude.

I mean, like, that's, I think being stupid and lazy is part of being chill, personally.

Most people are probably just watching Disney Plus.

That's probably just the what the reality is like most people like don't have money but there's like enough disney plus you know there's enough and or i've been thinking i've been thinking about this because like i i i engaged with um some sort of market focused abundance yimby people online this week and i realized that like they're just like look at this guy he doesn't know what he's talking about and like i think i don't is it your fault because ezra canceled i was supposed to have ezra no i i did not i'd not do anything with ezra thanks a lot will they just send me graphs, and I just think it's like, it's obvious to me that the political side that's winning is the one where top to bottom, the people in charge of it and running it and voting for it are like all on like uppers or like, you know, they're just like having a good time.

I don't know, they're on meth.

I know.

They can stay and do it with the Heritage Foundation.

They all got A's too, right?

I don't fully, yeah, right.

That's what I'm saying.

Stephen Miller is saying that.

Right.

That's what I'm saying.

Politics is all on every side filled with like overachievers who aren't necessarily smart.

if they were fully if they were at the highest end of like book smart they would be you know designing seeker heads or doing high frequency trading but they're just they're just like below that level um they're too ugly probably right and they're hit they're hideous they're busted um yeah right but i don't yeah i i i don't know i i do think like There is something true to the idea that like Democrats,

they had this like, there was this like vice grip over culture for the longest time.

And they sort of confused that for like enduring popular support.

What do you mean?

Everyone loves this.

They're fucking we're telling, we're telling jokes about incels on G-Hulk.

But now like that exact same thing is happening on the right-wing side.

And it started with Twitter.

Like the same exact phenomenon where you buy Twitter or you have Twitter and you curate everything

so it amplifies everything on your side and you go, well, look at that.

Like everyone loves this shit.

The same thing is happening now on the right-wing side.

And I think like any

Claptor.

They're doing Kate McKinnon.

Right, exactly.

Right.

They're right.

Like they are like doing the same thing that the Democrats were doing.

Right.

Like

obviously, I think like the Democratic Party as an institute, like it, there was any,

like, any type of like meritocracy or sense of right and wrong, it would be defunct as a part.

It would not be able to come back after Gaza, after Biden, after all those Matt Miller press rate things.

But I just, I don't see the other side as particularly more canny.

I mean, this is.

Again, like

people are talking about this election, like it was this fucking 1988 landslide.

And it was a cost of living year where they beat Kamala Harris, one of the shittiest candidates I've ever seen, by like, what, 1.2 points in the pot.

Like, it's just a game of who gets to hold the flaming bag of shit last.

And that bag of shit being the U.S.

consumer economy right at the end of our prestige, right?

As we are no longer able to scare people into our terms.

And right, right as

we have disgraced ourselves on a world stage.

And I just, I don't see one side or the other as having one set of answers or not to,

you know, their cultural insights into voters.

Like they both, they're both guilty of this thing where it's like, oh, we won the last election.

So that's a vindication of us doing things exactly how we want to do them all the time.

Right.

One thing is, though, far be it from me to compliment the fascist in chief.

And I, and again, guys, I will not rest until he is in prison.

Okay.

That, that's just the, I will, I will destroy him through the Jewish talk show on youtube.com that I've done five episodes of.

He, his days are numbered, but Trump realized like early on, like he, he went on Stern almost a hundred times, right?

And polite society was like, this is smut, and this is, this is crap.

And he was like, no, this is a massive audience, right?

If anything, he was kind of the one that figured it out.

I've been going back to

what out that, like, then is Anna Nicole Smith a genius?

Like, what are we talking about?

Well, he figured out how to make The Apprentice into the number one rated show behind the Super Bowl.

He's not a, he's not a real estate genius, he's not a business genius, he's a he's from TV, right?

And he,

yes, the Nelk Boys full-send appearance model is a is a a product of that, right?

Is a product of the fact that Stern had him on like almost 100 times and Donald Trump called like

said he was buying the

international or what's it this universe tournament Donald Trump won because he went on the Nelk Boy

Did Joe Biden win because he went on the breakfast club like you see what I'm saying here?

It's just it is the thing that everyone does where it's just the last thing that was in front of you is the key to every well there is a merit to the size the amount of people that are sure, sure, sure.

So, like, Joe's getting 10 times more than Anderson Cooper, right?

It's a bigger audience.

That's all I'm saying.

No, I'm not saying that it's not a detriment.

I'm not saying Stern was a

because he was a scoundrel.

Like,

no, he had a huge audience, and everyone was like, Oh, this gentleman peddles in smut.

Like, polite society looked down on it, and he was like, No, fuck it.

I'm going to go on and like market the shit out of my like fights at my casino and my fucking TV show where Meatloaf has to make a business or something, you know?

I mean, that, that's all I'm saying, right?

Like, he's just recognized, like, oh, this is what people or you could look at it in the way that he occupied this certain area of American culture for a very long time.

And for most of that time, he was as far away from,

you know, legitimacy as someone could be.

But then eventually, things shook out in such a way that there was no longer all the institutional safeguards had rotted away.

They had traded away their legitimacy for short-term gain, similar to how they did under Biden.

That things

are going to be the president.

It wasn't that he rose to where they are.

It's more that like...

He's a mirror.

He's a symptom.

He's not a mastermind.

He's a

product of both political parties.

Yeah, he's a product of a fucking guy from skull and bones in yale putting on a car hard and eating like a fried butter right right they're like playing to these popular sentiments and but like uh then they kind of you remember like during 2016 like ryan's preebus would just keep throwing up one of them he'd be like lying lying ted or like little marco like this is your week please try and he was just smacking it was the best tv show of all time i miss it so much i mean it was incredible but i i was saying this earlier but there was like a moment where i was like oh this is different when like i think uh lying ted was like how can anyone vote for you when you gave hillary money and he was like yeah i'm rich i give everyone money and it was like a moment where it's like oh yes i'm not saying donald trump is a genius but it was like oh yeah we all know that but they never say it right right right no yeah i think that he absolutely i'll be the first to say that he had like incredible instincts specifically for the time that he actually chose to run.

Correct.

They lost control.

And he's from TV.

Again, he didn't want to be the president.

He was renegotiating with Jeff Zucker for the new season of Apprentice.

It's the funniest thing that's ever happened ever.

It is the funny.

And we were together that night.

It is the funniest thing of all time.

And Matt was screaming at fucking,

what's his name?

Podesto.

Matt said, they're going to blame us for this.

No, Matt was like,

Matt was like, chappa's over, dude.

We're the fucking daily show now.

We have to be the fucking daily show now.

And I was like, no, dude,

you get to.

You were like, listen, this is good for you.

This is great for you.

Come to the

Hollywood Walk of Stars.

I'm taking you to a freak off.

You have to go to Bill Cosby's star.

I didn't say,

you know, that people say that Carl Winslow, there's a,

was

at one of the freak offs?

Carl Winslow.

Original Val Johnson.

The dad from Family Matters.

Yes.

And then McLean's partner from Die Hard.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Saying this.

A trusted source, Jake Tapper.

Oh, wow.

I got to start watching.

Someone walked in on

allegedly Puffy

making having sex with

Carl Winslow from Family Matters.

I don't believe.

I don't

know.

I don't believe that.

on this.

Why would Tapper lie after all this?

Why would he lie?

I got one more story for you guys today.

And this is, I know this is probably well-trodd material for the show, but there's another big New York Times piece this week about Elon Musk and his drug habits.

And it's got some pretty tray stuff in it.

And I guess, like, I'd like to preface this by just imagining, like, just asking you and the listeners to imagine if there was an article written in the paper of record about your behavior that

contained the phrase it was affecting his bladder.

Like, just imagine that, like, the shit you've done in your life, it gets put out on blast in the New York Times like this.

Well, they brought me pooping my pants in the gentleman's quarterly.

That's very true.

So, I know exactly how Elon feels right now.

It's tough to be

some of the most famous people in the world and important people in the world.

It seems like he's lost his mind.

This job.

Yeah, it says, as Elon Musk became one of Donald J.

Trump's closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

Mr.

Musk's drug consumption went well beyond occasional use.

He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use.

He took ecstasy in psychedelic mushrooms, and he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant pattern.

That's the most insane part, the ecstasy thing.

It's like, I figure that, like, everyone with that kind of nation state wealth has like a former marine or someone whose job is to like source drugs for them.

He's doing like 200 milligrams of

just incredibly pure MDMA with like a 75-milligram parachute.

Yeah, and he's pulsing, he's pulsating so hard the floor is shaking.

All the lights and sounds are just completely enrapturing.

But he's at CPAC, and the guy he has to go up to is like David Clark.

Yeah, like it's so, oh, like,

holy shit, bad roll does not even, you know, it does not even describe the half of it.

It's so burner, like tech burner, burning man, like to think that drugs make you smart, right?

Like, yeah,

drugs are for getting fucked up.

Like, right?

every you take drugs because you want to get fucked up every adult does but they're like it's nerds it's nerds that are like we're now now we're at the docks i'm working ketamine ecstasy and acid my daily stack every person i have ever known who's like i need to like realign my life but i'm gonna do lsd and i'm then i'm gonna figure out what i really want to do yeah to a person their lives have been ruined i don't know a single person who that has gone well for and that's that's all these guys these guys they're all they all like micro dose everything because they well it seems like elon is macro dosing i mean have you seen him recently yeah yeah well he's he had a black eye in the white house the other day and he said it was because his kid punched him yeah his behavior is terrible he's

but can he'll just go to rehab and then be rich again right

i don't know i mean i think he's so rich he doesn't even have to go to rehab i think you can just keep yeah who's gonna tell him to go to rehab

he isn't the richest guy in the the world, like, probably Putin and MBS are right, but they don't care about it.

I mean, at that level, it sort of doesn't matter.

What I'm saying is, they don't care about being on the list.

It's like the same reason, like, he still posts stuff, like memes and stuff.

It's like, if I was him, I'd be a ghost.

I wouldn't, I wouldn't be going on the like the come down subreddit and like

defending myself.

Like, seeing someone at that level be it's like LeBron.

LeBron

embarrasses himself all the time.

And there's like a palatable

vulnerability there.

That's just like, just be the richest guy in the world.

Like, just shut up.

Like, can you stop legalizing comedy?

Like, he's still stopped.

He's still like bitching about people

complaining about the Nazi salute.

Like, if you, you'll get his tweets just like pumped into your feed, whether you follow him or not.

And I get like three things a day where he's retweeting people, like showing, you know, Corey Booker.

Yeah, I saw that.

You're like, yeah, yeah.

It's it's like you're still fucking talking about that.

Like, well, I mean, like, that goes to show that he's like, he's, yeah, he, they got him.

I mean, he absolutely was a Nazi.

He's reading the comments.

He's reading comments.

I mean, Elon Musk is by the standards of, like, you know, I don't know, American or, you know,

mainstream culture, is someone who is like on record being more sympathetic to Hitler than the average person.

So that when he does

a salute like that, let's just say it gets less of the benefit of the doubt than what Corey Booker does.

But it's actually Corey Booker's a great example because he's also a Nazi.

Is he?

No, I'm just kidding.

I thought he's from New Jersey.

But, like, it's, I mean, neither here nor there.

The point is that he's still like, he's still like looking for people who are defending him.

No, on that.

He thought it was going to be a dope meme.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then people were like, that's that's crazy.

You're, it's the inauguration.

He's like, it's a, I am the meme.

I'm the meme man.

I am meme.

It's, it's the same as LeBron, to be honest with you.

Like,

LeBron gets caught lying all the time.

And it's just like, it hurts to actually watch.

But, like, this guy is just so desperate to be seen as funny, which is just like, just be rich.

Rich used to mean that you, like, I don't know, do a satanic blood ritual.

Like, have a little class.

Like, yeah, read like an ancient tome.

Do some fucking like ninth gate type of shit.

Yeah, like, yeah, torture a baby or something.

Yeah, like, just shut up about me like the meme man i am meme

like shut it stinks jp morgan would beat people with his cane if they took a picture of his face

like it just yeah can you imagine getting sent to auschwitz too by a guy that's like i can has cheese burger it would be worse it would be worse than the holocaust it literally would uh it says here mr musk has described some of his mental health issues in interviews and on social media saying in one post that he felt great highs, great highs, terrible lows, and unrelenting stress.

He has denounced traditional therapy and antidepressants.

I love that he's denouncing traditional therapy and antidepressants as he like takes like as he takes ketamine so much that he's pissing his pants.

This is how they treated you for like depression in 1870.

This is how they treated Rosemary Kennedy for depression is what he's doing with the holes he's putting in his fucking brain.

I wonder how like the inner room, how Trump was handling it.

Because he's

technology.

Listen to this.

It says here, he plays video games for hours on end.

He struggles with binge eating.

He lied.

He lied about being the best.

A Diablo or whatever.

Everyone, yeah, yeah, okay.

It says he struggles with binge eating, according to people familiar with his habits, and takes weight loss medication.

And he posts day and night on his social media platform, X.

Now, do you remember a couple of weeks ago where Trump made reference to like an unnamed billionaire he's friends with who's on the weight who's on the Ozempe?

Oh, and he was like, Yeah, yeah.

He was like, It's not working for him.

He's a very neurotic guy, very successful.

but i said whatever you're taking is not working i mean like he was absolutely talking about musk there oh wow ela and ela it briefly worked for him and he debuted a new wardrobe that was really it was like fallout inspired That was when he said he had the famous like, go fuck yourself.

At C-PAC, he was wearing a shirt that was like just chilling and side questing or something.

Right, right.

He's right.

The C-PAC thing, I think, was one of the most disgraceful events in American history because literally that afternoon Grimes added him and was like, your son is dying.

And then he came out there wearing like a Target soda t-shirt and was like, who's ready to laugh?

Mr.

Musk

had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption.

The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.

He also took ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

On October 5th, he appeared with Mr.

Trump at a rally for the first time, bouncing up and down around the candidate.

That evening, Mr.

Musk shared his excitement with a person close to him.

I'm feeling more optimistic after tonight, he wrote in a text message.

Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the Matrix.

This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised, Mr.

Musk added about an hour later.

Lasers from space.

I don't get what that last thing, lasers from space, is, I'm referring to, but I don't know, it's probably a thing.

It's probably probably a real thing.

Probably something that he has access to.

It was probably like a video where him and Trump are edited into 300.

Laser cats from space.

Yeah.

He's so like homestar runner-coated.

Nerds who get bad grades.

Do you remember those guys?

They didn't even get good grades.

They were just losers.

Right.

You thought they had some academic prowess because they were wearing like socks that went right below their knees.

Yeah, they got Fs.

But no, they weren't good at anything.

Yeah, they stunk.

Right.

It was like, it was like guys who were autistic, but they were autistic for like Clive Kusler novels.

Well,

the thought I had reading this article, Adam, to your point, the thought I had reading this article is that, like, I want to become straight-edged now.

Like, I think I'm giving up drugs after reading this shit.

I didn't think it was possible to make taking ecstasy and mushrooms uncool, but apparently Elon has done it.

And I guess for that, I thank him for my sobriety.

Oh, come on, dude.

He's not poser dirtbag, dude.

We're real dirtbag.

We can't lose who we are.

What do you mean?

Just he wants to appropriate our lifestyle as a as dirtbags?

No, uh, he should talk to Chief Keefe because I always thought Chief Keefe was like a little bit like uh fuck rehab.

No, no, no, he's I saw that.

Did you see that interview with him?

Yeah, he's autistic.

No, he's normal.

He was just like, Yeah, I just uh had to get out of like Chicago.

He's like, Yeah, I moved to LA and yeah, he's like a normal guy.

But he is autistic.

Yeah, but he was on drugs the whole time.

Yeah, of course, everyone's autistic.

No, but like he, no, I mean, in like the actual set, like he was like diagnosed.

It wasn't this thing where someone just goes, oh, I love Wikipedia.

I must have autism.

Well, he just seems like a nice gentleman now.

Oh, yeah.

He's off of whatever the crap he was on.

And now he's like, yeah, I moved to LA.

And yeah, it's just, I can't, yeah, it was too crazy.

Chicago.

I was, uh, I hated being sober.

Yeah, he's just regular now.

Maybe Musk can be,

I mean, I don't know.

Like, what maybe he should have moved to, maybe, maybe Elon Musk should move to Chicago and become a drill rapper.

He's just like, yeah, he's just doing too many drugs.

I mean, like, yeah, it's out of control, everything, but like,

I don't know.

I just, I, I really do wonder how Trump, it must have been like Tony seeing AJ on AIM Messenger.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What was Trump making with like, I am the meme man like i am meme uh yeah destroyer of planet like can you imagine trump listening to that kind of gibberish of like a a man who's like fucked up on drugs he must have been like i don't know what the fuck this gay shit is that you're sorry chris sorry chris again i gotta stop i gotta say i have a career now guys are you gonna take my career seriously

having you on the show adam what do you mean you had you let me on the show when I was

a nothing.

You people are my day ones.

Yeah, absolutely.

And what my day two is steiny.

I mean, I don't know.

We're getting to the end of the episode.

So in light of your career, can you give us a preview?

I mean, like,

I saw the Anthony Wiener interview got written up in the New York Post.

Did it?

Did you see that?

Yeah, it did.

Oh, my God.

What an honor.

On page six or just regular post?

No, there's a regular New York Post article.

This guy just can't stop talking about sex.

Disgraced ex-Congresswoman, Congressman Anthony Weiner, joked that women are crazy about me and riffed about his sexting scandal during a spirited interview as he seeks a political comeback by running for a New York City Council seat.

For sure, my God, they're crazy about me.

Women are crazy about me, said the registered sex offender when podcast host Adam Friedland asked if women find powerful men, such as politicians, attractive.

Yeah, I mean, that was, yeah, he said that.

I guess, I don't know,

it's interesting

why this guy still wants to enter public life.

And I think I kind of, as I talked to him, got an impression that he kind of learned the backroom aspect of politics, right?

He learned from Schumer

maneuvering, the Frank Underwood, like the I Claudius part.

Yeah, yeah.

He has no kind of concept of like the representative democracy aspect.

I think in his mind, he's like, I'm the best.

Why won't they give it to me?

I deserve it.

so he's like delusional.

He thinks this could be like a stepladder to a kid.

He thinks that he's the best at like

operating and maneuvering in at the game.

Like, clearly, he thinks he's the best at the game.

Yeah, exactly.

Right.

I mean, I think about all the pedophiles in Congress who like never even get arrested.

Well, I tried to throw him a bone with that, too.

I was like, listen, you were the first, you know, dick scandal because Twitter was new.

I was like, Matt Gates fucked a kid.

You know, it's like, like it wouldn't even be top 1,000 news stories, you know.

And he's like, whatever.

You know, my name was Weena.

It was a slow news cycle.

It's the same.

I really think it's interesting.

Oh, yeah.

No, it's the same thing everyone does.

I would have won if all the conditions that made me lose weren't there.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's funny.

I so one of my employees told me that people think that the DNC sent him here because they want him back, which is, which is like,

I can, I can assure you guys, they most certainly don't.

Like, every, everyone is, uh, he's, he's rubbed everyone the wrong way in like in power in, in that party.

So, if anything, Will, you should support him.

You know, he's, he's,

he's molested a lot of Democrats.

But genuinely speaking, I try to figure out what kind of guy it is beforehand, and I couldn't get a read on him.

And I think that it's just like he's so

he's so about the game that it's kind of like stripped kind of like a

soul away in many moments.

I had that impression.

I mean, he yelled at me because I said he seems more like a Yankee fan than a Met fan.

He got furious.

I mean, like from the jump, he started yelling at me, which was awesome.

I really enjoyed it.

But

I don't know.

I'm having fun with it, though.

And I appreciate you guys letting me come on.

And Felix, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, again, that I did.

whatever it was that you well

whatever it was I was in Savi's world before this and now I'm in was that a surprise?

Did he, like, wake you up and kidnap you?

Gustav?

Like, okay.

Already

declined.

I was in a car coming back from Queens.

You couldn't get water when you walked in the fucking door?

No, because I want to turn on the computer so I could

get on the thing faster.

Oh, no, I'm 100% innocent in this respect, but it's your show.

And I don't want to upstage you.

I'm but a guest.

And, you know, I don't, this is, you know, this is not what i would call southern hospitality you would one of your best friends is hanging out with you in front of millions of people right now online no i'm just kidding guys i really it's so fun to do the show with you guys i hate i hate podcasting and i it's only fun when i do it uh with uh you fine gentlemen because we're we're the last vanguard of sanity and rationality in this crazy world we're all and we're all you i feel like chris we are all gooners for life I told my girlfriend the other day, I was like, I think I'm probably just gonna, I'm gonna have to fucking run for president at a certain point.

I'm like, I think it, who the fuck else is gonna do it?

Like, as like a joke.

And she was like, I don't want to be with a, with a president.

She's like, with a president.

Wait, wait,

you're saying she doesn't want to be first lady if that were on offer.

I don't want to be with a president.

A president really bothered me.

But second of all, like,

but Grover Cleveland is on offer for her.

No, it was like, what, but now it's what?

Oh, you, won't let me be the president?

Now I, now spiteful, I'm going to do a spite run just because I'm like marginally upset about my girlfriend not laughing at a non-funny joke that admittedly that I told, but no.

Yeah, so now I'm probably going to have to do it, dude.

Who else is going to do it?

I asked Felix multiple times that I would Steve Bannon him, but you know, I'm just going to have to do it my goddamn self.

Well, you got the message.

It's about running like a single issue campaign for Israel.

Yeah, where I would i would just like

i would just draw aggro of the adl like i would run for senate in nebraska or something and my ads would just be like the same logo every time an american flag and then you see a star of david burning through it and then the snake's head pops out

like just so like the anti-nomadic jew campaign would be yeah i'm not even talking about my opponent i'm just like running ads about like the uss liberty and it would just purely to be to like draw the aggro of the israel lobby i'm not trying to win i'm just trying to sop up resources so yeah the deal you know they don't like jump like

yeah yeah yeah listen folks i'm a jew and i know them better than anyone else and we used to be sneakier what the hell are these fools even doing i've been to the meetings they don't have your best interests in mind i've talked to the european council of rabbis that justin beaver had to apologize to they definitely were laughing at you they definitely hit up like benson boon to like attract men.

They're like,

that absolutely.

Actually, I was saying that half kidding.

They definitely hit up the flip guy, the guy that does flips.

Oh, who hit him up?

The DNC.

We need to connect with young men.

Benson Boone.

Yeah, just the, I don't know if you guys are familiar.

Yeah, no, he does.

He does flips.

Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

They're approaching the worst.

Yeah, they're like, we got to bring Randy Rainbow back.

Oh, yeah.

Did they do something with Benson Boone?

No, I just imagine they would or have.

But Randy Ray, where is he at nowadays?

I got to have him on tafts.

Randy Rainbow is still touring.

Is he crushing?

I mean,

he just sold out a concert of 3 million people in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Well, if you go to the Global South, his songs mean a different thing.

Yeah,

he's like Rage Against the Machine.

He's huge down there.

And Ansura La actually loves Randy Rainbow.

Dude, I'm he actually spoke at their last conference.

His songs were so good.

His, his Cuomo sexuality songs were incredible.

I thought he was straight.

Well, you may have another.

Well, look, I mean, if Andrew Cuomo becomes mayor of New York, maybe, maybe Randy could be like his press secretary or official sort of bard.

I've heard he may need one.

I've heard that Cuomo is Bidening, like he's sundowning, and that's why they won't let him talk to any media.

He's doing Adam,

you should ask Chris.

I'm going on news nation on thursday by the way i'm going on chris's show on channel 1070 million whatever he's on news nation god yeah what distributor carries news nation uh israel yeah obviously what was the israel channel that we all did i didn't do it you guys did it oh i didn't do it your hands are clean
