All right, hello and welcome to the Adam Friedland Show, the podcast.

I'm back from Greece.

I'm back.

I'm happy to be here.

We have a little bit of new setup, kind of, we're a little bit closer.

A little spring cleaning.

A little bit of spring cleaning.

I wish you could see what it looks like over here, but

the place in the back was a mess.

So Nick took the mess and they brought the mess out here.

I brought the mess out here, but there's also, because our hand was kind of forced after somebody broke the pins

on one of the cameras,

we had to

swap that out.

Now it's time to,

the studio was never set up the way it was supposed to be from the beginning.

We went away.

This is January when we kind of set up the students.

We went away for a week and we came back and decisions were made that we weren't involved in so the stage which was supposed to be up here initially had been moved all the way back there yeah and the lights were set up in a certain way so so the the desire is for this room to look for us to look a lot farther this stage will be probably a foot and a half that way

and then the lights will come forward and uh until then it's a mess in here yeah yeah

we'll figure that out but in the meantime

we are on the home stretch.

We are so close to releasing the new episode of the talk show, so guys keep an eye out for that.

That should be out, I guess, tomorrow maybe, Adam?

Uh, depends on YouTube.

It depends on YouTube and monetization.

Sometimes the content they're worried could be a little spicy because they see a couple

spicy caliente kind of

well who gives a fuck.

What do you mean?

But that's very exciting news.

It will be up.

And also, I just want to say this, guys.

I will be, I have not promoted this at all.

I'm a fucking idiot.

And my agents are mad at me.

So I will be in Seattle, Washington, October 27th and 28th at Laughs Comedy Club.

So if you're in Seattle, October 27th and 28th, that's like I'm one month away.

Please come see me, Adam Friedland.

host of the Adam Friedland Show.

How does the...

How does this...

I'm going to look to see how it looks.

If you want to talk for a little bit.

What?

The look?

well yeah with the space

stand up

no sit in your chair I don't I want to see all right yeah I guess what Nick wants is for this wall to look farther away so now

if you guys can see what this it does look better doesn't it it looks great yeah it does look better yeah okay well that's good and now we're gonna have to run two more lines of struct cable channels and

you know the studio will go back to a construction site, but hopefully that will be the end of and now one year into having this, no over one year, one year and three months into having the studio, we will have it set up exactly like we want.

So great.

All right, and anyway, guys,

welcome back, Nick.

Welcome back.

Yes, keep an eye out for the new episode of the talk show.

It will be out

depending on when the monetization goes green on YouTube.

We're basically completely finished, and we're excited about this one.

A lot of surprises.

So

it took four and a half months to do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Guys, don't worry.

I don't think anyone's worried.

I don't think people care.

I think people, I get messages all the time, release the new episode.

Yeah.

From people.

I think maybe it's just one guy.

Anyway, guys, people do care.

What do you mean shitting on our own product?

people don't care people care and I hope you guys are excited and be excited.

I think it's the best episode we've ever done anyway

And welcome back to the show.

Yeah, I'm not sure I was in Greece for two weeks Nick was gone last week as well.

I had my quest bar too late in the day today.

What if you sound like what is that doing to you right now?

I just I'm

I'm running a little slow.

How is Greece?

We already talked about Greece.

It was we talked about it on Monday on the history on the Patreon episode.

Did that go up, Ginsburg?

It went up.

Sorry, I hit jet lag about halfway through and I went full, I felt like I went full stupid, stupid mode.

But no, it was very fun.

I had a great time with my girlfriend.

Went to a couple islands.

We went to Athens.

You know, whatever.

Who cares?

Who cares about?

That's what people want to hear about.

Fabulous vacations with your fucking gorgeous girlfriend.

Yeah, they don't want to hear about 10 out of 10 girlfriends.

They don't want to hear about

move the stage around.

around or

okay, yeah, it was fabulous.

It was really good.

Um

you know, spend all day with just your girlfriend.

It's a good n litmus test of a relationship.

I guess you're also in a nice place.

So,

hardness test.

I think you put a piece of litmus paper and then you see if it's an acid or a base.

Oh, okay.

So you're seeing if your relationship is toxic.

Yeah, and I think we got neutral.

No, I think we we didn't fight the I didn't I was expecting you fight you fight at at least once in two weeks.

We didn't fight at least once.

And we spent all day together.

It's pretty nice.

Yeah.

It's a good, a lot of people break up during relationships.

Also break up during COVID, during lockdown.

Do you remember how many relationships ended?

People would see their partner once a week, and then they went into lockdown, and then she was there farting as shitting

24 hours a day.

Who broke up?

I think a lot of couples we know.

Like who?

I don't know.

I can't think of any, but I remember a lot.

I think, yeah, because you're like in the house.

You know, you go to work every day.

Corey in the house.

Corey in the house.

No, it was really nice.

I have shout out to the island of Sephnos and Milos in Greece.

The fine people.

Of Sephnos and Milos.

And shout out to,

I don't know, whoever it was that...

was shitting on my outfit on Reddit.

Saw me waiting in line for a fucking ferry.

Someone sent me one of the fucking Red Scare subreddit homos coming at the king

while I was schwitzing

online waiting for a fairy.

But anyway,

how was your week?

You were good?

Yeah, I'm alright.

Is it hot in here?

It's really hot.

Yeah, we didn't turn the AC on.

Well, because it's hoodie season outside, but the studio, we've covered up all the windows.

It's windowless.

With these lights on, too, it's kind of a pain in the ass.

I'll tell you, the studio is already already in a state of disarray.

I'm gonna turn the AC on.

But what do you mean?

That's gonna affect the audio.

No, it won't.

All right, we'll be right back.

Nick's gonna turn the AC on.

I'll tell you what, folks,

it is really nice to have fallback.

It is really nice to have hoodie season back, pumpkin spice season back.

We were talking about this on the last episode.

Yeah, it does look a lot better.

I actually tried, Nick,

where you go?

Why are we doing one of these episodes again?

He has to have like a gets upset.

All right.

Yeah, I actually tried one of the pumpkin spice drinks at Starbucks.

I'd never actually had one before.

I tried a pumpkin spice cold brew.

It had pumpkin spice cream

on it.

And can I tell you something?

These fucking Karens were right this whole time.

I was calling the police in no time.

What is this?

I don't know.

We gotta see if we can sell these, maybe.

Yeah, we got to sell some stuff in the studio.

Yeah.

Okay.

Today's episode, what we're going to do is we're going to have a little bit of an auction.

We're trying to clean the studio out right now.

We've been here for what, a year and three months, probably, Nick?

Yeah.

About a year and three months.

And now, you know, this is an opportunity for you guys to earn

a piece of history.

You know, a little bit of a little bit of,

you know, these are the things.

This box Ginsburg's talking about trying to auction off.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Should we do it?

I don't know.

I think it should just go in the garbage.

But if you want the box.

If we can make a little bit of money.

The box the robot came out of.

Listen, guys.

The show is not doing very well financially.

The show's doing fine.

It's actually doing all right.

But if you guys want the box that the robot came out of,

on the Chris Cuomo episode, we can auction that off.

Hopefully we'll get like, I don't know.

What do you think think we get?

200 bucks?

Yeah, probably.

Watch yourself.

Don't step on anything.

That cord looks like it's not plugged in all the way.

See what I mean?

You see what I mean?

Oh, but we got that flag up there.

It's fine.

Just put it back here.

Make sure they can see the bow.

You want the bow in there.

Ah, fucked up the bow.

Put that like that.

And then put the bow.

But we don't have sandbags on this thing.

Put the bow on top.

But that wire there that should go back

here.

Just put these, weigh that down with this.

And then that wire.

See, that's loose there.

All right.

And we're back, folks.

So, yeah, we will be auctioning this off on eBay.

All the proceeds going

to the Adam Freelanch Show.

Also, folks, we will be having these fabulous mugs.

These are going on sale, I think, in the next two weeks.

We're gonna be dropping an entire now.

I got fucking glitter all over me, bro.

Why do you keep asking me about this credit card he want?

I gave you a credit card.

No, no, but I said I have a credit card, but I just wanted to get your clearance so we could buy the you have my clearance.

That's why you got the credit.

That's why I gave you the credit card.

Yeah, but I didn't want to spend, you know, what, however much it costs, like, I don't know, a thousand dollars.

I would prefer you spend money on things for the show rather than like why why there's a bunch of charges for something called caviar on the company credit card.

Caviar is a delivery service, and I've ordered lunch three times on there.

Every month, there's about three to four thousand dollars worth of cavity.

I don't do caviar.

No.

It's a delivery service owned by, I believe, it's actually the same thing as DoorDash.

They have Chipotle on there.

They got Chipotle for the crew?

You know, that is a good fucking lunch.

I had it.

I had it today.

How far away is Chipotle?

We were working in the studio.

I got it it for the crew how far just if you had to guess it's downstairs so it's probably like it's on our block 50 to 100 feet away

is how far you'd say Chipotle is

and so instead of even doing seamless yards I would say a luxury food delivery service

where they can't even come in the building you still have to go down to the street

they come to the door all right they come to the door folks we will be having these beautiful mugs for sale much like the mugs that we have on stage, these will be now the official mugs that we have on stage.

We decided not to go to the black square.

I liked more of the white mug with the black square as per my original design.

Those will be up soon, but

first we're gonna

release the black square.

If you like the white with the black square, make sure to DM Adam about it.

DM me about it if you want the one with the white.

Don't shit on the product.

They could have bought this one and then seen that we released the black the white with the black square and they're like god damn it i have to have that one now you're saying to the audience they copy you on every opinion you have that this one isn't as good no this is a great one guys we're releasing this black with a this is kind of a minimalist design it's it's kind of uh what i would say it's about this post modern is it's uh unisexual it's unisexual depending on whether you're left-handed you still see

the logo right-handed you still see the logos whatever uh dominant hand you have, whatever

ethnicity, gay is left-hand.

Bisexual.

Obama.

Obama.

Right-handed is bisexual.

Gay.

Obama.

Bisexual.

Yeah.

The two genders.

Obama.

Michelle.

Barack.

Barack.

Yeah, so we have that.

And then we will be also releasing t-shirts.

And...

A little special surprise, we are releasing Yamakas.

They are quite nice.

We're getting them from Crown Heights.

We've purchased a mountain and we're opening a ski resort.

We are.

Also, we're opening an indoor skiing resort.

And yeah, but guys, these are

an old treadmill with a snow blower set up in front of it, a snow machine.

So it blows snow under you while you...

It's like an infinity.

Yeah, so you feel like you're buzzing down the mountain in a blizzard.

Yeah, but you're staying in one room.

But you're in one room.

Yeah.

There's a bungee attached to your waist.

So you can't go too fast.

Yeah.

It regulates the speed Yeah, it's just like angled down

and you can do like little

Are there obstacles like do you like throw a tree at them or something?

Yeah, there's a pitching machine

There's a 75 mile per hour pitching machine

And we're jacking we're throwing heat at you.

Yeah.

While you're going down that mountain 75 is fast, dude.

Yeah.

Whenever we go to the batting cages.

Oh, no chance.

Like if you're watching baseball, you're like, oh, that's a pussy spirit.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

And then you're like, and then you do the batting cage, you're like, my hands are bad.

No, the 20 mile per hour.

Yeah, you got to do baby.

You got to be throwing 20 mile per hour.

Remember the first time as a kid you threw a ball against like a speed gun?

Yeah.

And

you're a child, so you're like, yeah, I'm throwing like 85.

85?

I'm not 90.

I don't know.

I'm the best.

12 miles per hour.

It says you're gay.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

It says you throw gay.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, no, that really.

75 is fucking fast.

Yeah.

Yeah, I want to go to the cages again.

We went to that one cage in Gowanus.

I remember on your breakfast.

You were very tactile today.

Today I'm kind of doing a little bit of more of a stall.

Yeah.

That's the worst part about that.

It's kind of the reason it's taken so long to edit some of the stuff for the show.

You do a lot of like in-between scenes, like during.

I do, yeah, I have a tick where I'm like saying a scene, I'm like saying a line.

I do knee slap.

And it's very hard to edit around.

Yeah, it's really fucking tough.

Yeah, it's kind of knock us back three weeks.

Yeah, or we'll get somebody else's coverage and you're like,

ah, you do it.

I do this a lot.

You do that.

Because I'm not a very good actor, so I know exasperated or I know neutral.

I think those are my two.

And then sometimes I could do like, like,

like I could do like concerned and then set, like sad.

Well, neither of us are actors.

No, no, you're quite a good actor.

Your face on screen looks so handsome.

Some consideration for for

the editing.

Right.

I agree.

That's a good note.

I'm going to work on that.

But...

Wait, I had one other thing to say about the acting aspect of it.

Oh, also, if anyone listening,

why not?

If anyone listening is here.

I'm going to quickly be having to address the end of the writer's strike.

Oh, congratulations to the WGA in solidarity with the...

SAG AFTRA.

And congratulations to SAGE.

I said the ideal outcome is that the strike ends, the union gets everything that they want, and then

also Strike Force 5

goes the way of the Big Bopper, Richie Vallons, and

whoever the third guy was, Buddy Holly.

Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, and the Big Bopper.

Wait, you didn't name the most famous one that died?

You remember the Big Bopper?

Well, because those are the ones that are hard to remember.

You remember Buddy Holly.

Buddy Holly is the most famous one.

Yeah, who are the other two?

So you make a point of remembering those.

You push.

La Bamba.

Yeah.

Who the fuck was the Big Bopper?

Chantilly Lace with a Pony and Tail.

That was the song?

That's Big Bopper.

Was he cool?

Yeah, dude.

He wrote a song about being on the phone with a bitch.

Was that the song?

Yeah.

Was it about beating off on the phone while you're talking to a bitch?

Yeah,

the song starts and he goes, hello, baby.

This is the Big Bopper speaking.

The whole song is through a telephone.

Oh, really?

and he's he's louis style he's cranky he's yeah he's just like uh fucking just beating off to some fat southern woman

some fat southern woman with a ponytail and oh my god it's the big bapa

yeah well that's cool yeah

chantilly lace what is that is that what he's using on his dick I think it's like

the dress she's wearing or something.

Oh, that he's imagining she's wearing.

Shant look it up.

Look up Chantilly Lace.

There's a place by DC called Chantilly.

No, not the song.

Uh

oh yeah, it's like what your grand is your grandma's tablecloth, basically.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, it's from the city of Chantilly in France.

Yeah, it's some big Cajun bitch.

Some big bitch.

wearing a tablecloth

hello, baby.

Oh, yeah, he has a telephone.

Sorry.

This guy's funny.

He's on the phone.

Yeah.

People used to think this was cool.

It's crazy that people used to like

turn on the TV and watch white men in suits play rock and roll music on a TV show.

Yeah, like politely play rock and roll.

What's this song?

Walk, Don't Run.

Dick Dale?

No, The Ventures.

The Ventures.

One of three other bands that played that kind of music.

Surf Rock,

it was them and Dick Dale.

Yeah.

Wipeout.

That's cool, man.

That was like an era where, like,

yeah, you could just like,

it was like before they desegregated sports where you could just be a white guy and like basically

you could be the best in the biz.

Just basically

Whatever.

I don't even.

What happened?

I was about to make some point about how

it's dusty here.

I was about to make some point about how you could be a white nerd and politely play rock and roll because

they didn't want any black devils on the TV.

Well, I just don't think black people were making rock and roll music back in the 60s.

They did.

Chuck Berry.

They were doing like rap.

Yeah, they didn't start rap yet.

Rap started in the late 1800s.

Rap started in the late 1800s.

They didn't record it.

They didn't record it until the 80s.

Yeah.

Because originally rap was like,

you know, I mean, it's like the rap we know today.

It was

people high on

gleam.

Yeah, fentanyl and fentanyl.

Yeah.

Being like, how can we, I'm going to see you later.

I almost see you.

It's just somebody overdosing.

They're like, yeah, I don't know if there's really a market for this.

Yeah.

And then the 1980s rolled around.

And they were like, you know, they changed it up.

Big Daddy Kane.

Yeah.

Wear nice clothes and golden mall.

Fucking.

Well, that's why they released crack into the inner cities.

Right.

Because they wanted to perk up those guys.

They wanted the rap to be better.

They wanted the rap to be better.

Yeah.

So they had Reagan was just like, oh, black people aren't contributing enough.

The rap isn't good enough.

They're like, we ran the numbers.

If we got them high on crack, it will help their music.

Yeah.

So it was actually kind of a

nice thing.

It was kind of a good thing for the CIA.

It was a good thing that they did.

It was really nice of the CIA to give them that crack.

Yeah, right.

So that they could do like.

To help rap music.

Hippity, hop, skippity, skop.

Yeah, I mean, say what you will, selling crack cocaine brought a lot of people out of poverty.

It did.

Yeah.

Notorious PIG.

Two-pack smalls.

Two-pack smalls.

Listen, everyone wants to complain about the epidemic.

Yeah, right.

That tore through their community.

Yeah, okay.

But what about

Jay-Z?

Show me the guy buying a fucking BMW 3 series with gold BBSs

with his job at McDonald's.

No.

No.

They needed to

sell crack.

The boom.

Yeah, right.

The crack boom.

Yeah, so shout out to crack and shout out to Is that a real take?

Somebody probably thinks that.

Rich Lowry probably thinks that.

The guy from National Review.

That guy.

Yeah, there has to be a conservative.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It gave people an opportunity for social mobility.

But that's the crazy thing is like, when, don't they talk about how like you're not really making that much money?

Once we in fifty years, once all drugs are legalized, that'll be like a Paul Ryan style take.

Which is what?

Is that actually fucking

conservatives gave black people drugs to

help them?

Like in the same way that they like pretend they love Martin Luther King.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're like

Martin Luther King would have been at Charlottesville with a tiki torch.

He would have.

Yeah.

He would have.

Yeah.

Pull up your damn pants.

He would have been in the Capitol.

He would have been.

Right behind Ashley Babbitt.

And he would have been trying to kill.

He would say, you go on, Miss Ashley.

Because he was being a gentleman.

Yeah.

And he was letting her go through the door.

Yeah.

You go ahead.

You go ahead, Miss Ashley.

I'm right here behind.

I'll be right behind.

Yeah.

I would love Trump to give that speech.

MLK.

Would have been appalled at the ring stolen election.

It's disrespectful to the legacy of Martin Luther King.

He would have hated it.

He would have said, this is bullshit.

This is a bunch of fucking garbage.

He would have been my biggest fan.

I would have had him at the White House.

Yeah, he should say that just to see how people lose their minds.

No, he wouldn't have.

He would have been best friends with me.

He would have, no, he would have hated Donald Trump.

It's a 3,000-word article in The Atlantic.

MLK would have hated Donald Trump.

Them just falling for it over and over and over again.

Just taking the bait.

Yeah.

I would have gotten pussy with MLK.

Yeah.

He would have given given me pussy.

He would have given me pussy.

He would have let me fuck him.

I would have had sex with him, folks.

He would warn me to fuck his pussy.

And if he were here today, he would say, Please, Mr.

President.

Never mind the fact that MLK didn't even have a pussy.

Donald Trump is wrong.

He would have given me pussy.

We need him back.

Please.

Please dismiss all these charges.

We need him back.

If you can figure out how to use Rumble Social, I mean, he's posting stuff like that on there.

He's posting long posts on Rumble.

And they're good.

Oh, they are good.

Yeah, I only catch the reactions to them.

Guys, he's just...

Apparently, he was saying that General Millie should be executed.

Who is that?

I don't know.

Some fucking guy.

He's saying that he should be executed.

I don't know.

Yeah, he said in the old days

his treason would have been punished by death.

Oh, in the old days.

And so then people are like, actually, he should have been.

This is actually.

Yeah, this is like, he wants to be Putin.

Trump wants to be, he wants

an autocracy.

MLK would have given people something.

Yeah.

It's like all of the the media, all the Donald Trump media is like, we're going to teach you a new word and then tell you how it's a new word that means Donald Trump is bad.

Remember when they couldn't stop saying the Emoluments Clause?

Oh, they loved Emoluments Clause.

They loved Emoluments Clause.

Well, actually, the Emoluments Clause.

It's a stupid-ass word.

What does it mean?

You can't make money, right?

Yeah, something like that.

Actually, the Hatch Act.

What was the other one?

The Charlemagne of the Senate?

The Charlemagne.

That's the guy.

Yeah, the Sectalalorian, the Secta Mandalorian of the Senate.

That was like the Sectariot.

What was it?

The Secretariat of the Senate.

No, it was some dumb thing.

Remember that?

Yeah, the government's horse.

He would have given me pussy.

If MLK were alive alive today,

it would have given me pussy.

No, it's like there's a role in Congress that's the guy that just knows all the rules.

Oh, like the fucking bitch of Congress?

The teacher's pet?

Knows all the rules in Congress.

Parliamentarian of the House.

That's what it's called.

So sick.

Yeah.

Who's it, George Clinton?

Yeah, it's George Clinton.

I have no idea, but there was some issue with the parliamentarian.

Yeah.

And then that was another thing.

They had a whole week where they're like, well, the parliamentarian said Donald Trump's not allowed to do something.

Some god no one knew existed.

Yeah, fucking baby Yoda.

Baby Yoda.

The Mandalorian said he can't do anything.

Yeah, that's the other thing, too, because we got another election coming up.

They did it in 2016.

About the, what is it, not a contested election, but

one where Congress just decides, the speaker gets to decide who's president, essentially.

Is that what they're setting it up for?

If somebody doesn't get like the majority of electoral power.

It's like a split ticket and someone doesn't win the electoral college, right?

Yeah, then

the government gets to.

It's a contingent election.

Yeah.

That was the other one.

I found that out.

We might be facing a contingent.

My girlfriend.

But because of the

emoluments clause, in consideration of the hacked act, the parliamentarian has said we might have a contingent election that will result in a constitutional crisis.

That's like the ultimate

loop sentence.

They love sounding smart.

Yeah, I only know about that because my girlfriend is watching this awful television show.

She puts it on

while she's cooking called Madam Secretary.

They're like, actually, if we have a centrist third party run, then it would go to

Congress to have a contingent election.

Yeah.

Anyway,

yeah, I'm going to stop slapping.

But Trump, he got in trouble yesterday, no?

It was the first time he's ever gotten in trouble his whole life.

He's liable for fraud or something.

But liable is a civil case.

There's good.

Atlantic just published this two hours ago.

The end of Trump Inc.

What does that mean?

The courts are finally catching up to a man that has long behaved as though there would never be any consequences for his deceptions.

What did he what is this for?

I think it's like his university.

Oh, Trump U.

Yeah,

he had his own Phoenix Online.

Yeah, you sold stakes and got and fake college.

But didn't the Clintons have a fake college?

They also had a fake college, didn't they?

Maybe I'm wrong.

Clinton Global Initiative.

That's the only thing I'm saying.

No, maybe I'm wrong.

No, because that was it wasn't a fake college.

Maybe it's accredited, but it was like a distance learning college kind of thing.

And that's where Caleb's mom met Bill.

Online?

No.

Like in Discord?

She went to.

Hey.

Hi.

How's it going?

She's checking out the chat.

Hi, how's everyone?

No, no, yeah,

she graduated and then

shook his hand and then became a Democrat the rest of her life.

Yeah, you told me this story.

Yeah, yeah, it's pretty amazing.

Today's episode is brought to you by mybookie.ag, and they've sent us this very nice copy.

Yeah, yeah.

They stopped doing that.

Oh, S-S-Z-N?

Yeah.

Yeah, Asians stopped doing that.

Season.

Yeah.

I remember when that coffee shop got mad at me, they wrote me, they wrote Y and then T

for me.

They're in a little bit of hot water now.

Yeah.

So there's a, if anyone,

guys, there's a...

There's a GoFundMe we'd like to publicly support.

It's for the workers of Playground Coffee,

which have been allegedly

abused and exploited by

management who have been allegedly paying them late according to their complaints.

Yes.

Stealing tips, allegedly.

Allegedly.

This is what they're saying.

Yeah.

Basically.

So, guys, so there's a GoFundMe

and it's right here.

PG Coffee Shop Workers Solidarity Retention Fund.

They have received $9,862 of their $20,000 goal.

And right now, if you go to mybookie.ag and use promo code TAFS, they will match your donation.

They will match your donation to the Playground playground coffee shop worker solidarity recession.

Worker Solidarity Resension.

This is a coffee shop that six years ago

called me a racist.

Called Adam a Nazi.

Called me a Nazi.

And I told him that they were going to get a lot of shit on the internet because there are psychos on the internet.

And then some people listed them on.

What was it?

Like a

methadone.

It was like NYC methadone R/slash NYC methadone and they said a bunch of

heroin addicts

They said that there was free methadone being handed out at this place.

That's clever.

That is a smart now that now that you can't just order pizzas for cash on the internet.

So apparently apparently they

yeah, so

you know, there's a there are a lot of let's see the donations though

It looks like if you wanna

oh the top donation

was anonymous fuck

anonymous donated 500 no if you look at the arts Benjamin Huang also donated 500 but also the Adam Freelance Show has donated that's $500

$500 to for a mutual aid Brooklyn Peeps mutual aid opportunity mutual aid mutual aid brother nothing I love more than mutual aid and there's nothing I love more than mybookie.ag and mybookie.ag and I love their

bonuses.

You can almost call their cash bonus sort of a mutual aid.

This is kind of a mutual aid.

There's no strings attached.

It's sort of a DSA-style gambling.

If you're having trouble getting traction with the cash bonus and you have a gut feeling that 50% bonus could do better with your...

Oh, that's to us.

Sorry.

Great gut feeling.

So, guys.

Have a fantastic weekend and happy winning season SZN with MyBookie.

What do we got to see?

What are are your picks?

Oh, well, this fucking, this weekend,

let's go to NFL picks.

Let me tell you what I got.

I got...

Here's the thing, folks.

This is what I like to do.

I like to choose the team with a better record.

And that's how I choose my picks.

There have only been three games this season, so a lot of these teams have the same record.

So two and one Lions versus two and one Packers.

I'm going Lions.

1-2 Raiders versus 1-2 Chargers.

I'm going Chargers.

2-1 Falcons over the 1-2 Jaguars.

So we're going Falcons.

And I'll just speed this up.

Dolphins.

We're going Dolphins.

Let's go

Broncos.

over the Bears.

Neither of them have won a game, so that's a tough one to choose.

We're going to go Browns.

No, no.

We're going to go Ravens over the Browns.

And this is promo code T-A-F-A.

Promo code TAF over.ang.

Let's say you've just parlayed your Super Smash into a cash bonus.

You can now double those premiums.

Yeah.

So, yeah, you just basically, this is what you do, folks.

If a team, like, let's say the 1-2 Cardinals are playing the 3-0

49ers, we're picking...

the 49ers.

And that is the Adam Freelane Guarantee.

If they have a better record.

I always love the 49ers you always like them yeah it's cool name Deion Sanders Deion Sanders

yeah when I was a child I thought Deion Sanders and Deion Warwick were the same person

I'm like wow that lady's really good at football I couldn't tell they had uniform he was wearing a helmet right yeah I'd look at Deion Warwick

doing back flips and jumping over you know linemen I thought that was phenomenal I thought that was the black psychic DNA.

Deion Sanders is now

a head coach in college at the University of Colorado.

He's really causing a stir because white coaches are like, take off your damn sunglasses when you're coaching the damn football game, boy.

Well, he's blind.

He's blind.

Yeah.

He's blind.

Keep playing like that, fellas.

Anyway,

myboogie.agy.tafs.

T-A-F-S.

Thank you.

My kidneys are starting to hurt.

Drink kidneys?

I got to drink some water, yeah.

Do you feel it?

If you drink too much coffee,

then your kidneys start to hurt.

Yeah, I start sweating and my back hurts.

Really?

Yeah.

Wow.

Now, I don't know if I've yet taken a public victory lap on this yet, but

really good news for me

as of January 21st or January 1st, 2024 those who hold a basic economy class ticket on a Delta flight will not be allowed access to any of the airline's airport lounges.

Basic economy

They will not be allowed access to any of the airline that means main cabin two or three

you will not be allowed into the sky lounge.

With with what even if they carry the platinum card by American Express or any other co-branded premium credit cards

that includes

no,

they can't take this.

What date?

January 1st.

I'm not on the road.

I'm only on the road one weekend the rest of the year.

No,

I just got

the lounge.

We were on our way back from Denver.

You know, sometimes I think like things, it's like I get worried, it's like, oh, things aren't going well.

No!

I just got the lounge.

And then God

just drops something in your lap like this.

It's so unfair.

Give it back, please.

It's so nice.

You get a cookie, you get a coffee.

Yes.

You get a yogurt.

You put some fruit in the yogurt.

You don't have to be with the fucking reef wrap.

You got the

rest of the airport.

Three months from calling me a dumbass for flying American and going mileage away.

Delta's take it

take it away from me.

Yeah.

Delta's fucking garbage anyways, dude.

No, they're not.

They're.

American's better.

What do you mean?

Where do they fly?

They fly basically to Chicago.

They fly everywhere Delta does.

Yeah, but Delta's like, do you have screens?

I don't want the screen.

I read.

I like the screen.

The only thing Delta has is the free Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi is kind of shit anyways.

Also, JetBlue has free Wi-Fi, and JetBlue is partnered with American.

So if you really want the Wi-Fi, just get like

JetBlue flight.

So I'm losing the lounge.

You're losing the lounge.

Wait, it's even if you have the business one.

Yes, any co-branded premium credit card.

So you will not be allowed unless you want to buy a first-class ticket.

This fucking sucks

yeah it's not fair I think it's very fair to me why

because you were gloating about that sky club access

yeah

but they were Delta to further limit access to its sky club so I went to the sky club

when we were on our way back from Denver and then Nick saw me walking out and

I guess he concentrated his powers of evil to take away

this beautiful but you say you like being in there to stay away from the riffraff you're the riffraff no you're no yeah you're going in there and fucking clogs and a diaper

imagine you're a businessman you've probably given delta over ten million dollars worth of business in the last 25 years and then some man child wearing you know fucking crocs and a raincoat strolls in to this dumbass bald friend and is like where's the massage

I didn't say that.

You did, probably.

I said, where's the

so we're at the showers?

I never got to take a shower there yet.

I heard they have showers.

It's nice, you know?

It's just nice being there.

And

I got going up to the buffet thing and just being like,

ooh.

This is their statement.

These changes are a part of Delta's ongoing efforts to help balance the popularity of the clubs with the premium experience they provide for our guests.

It's literally just to keep you out.

It's to keep me out?

Yeah, it's because you've ruined the vibe.

It's with the one I have?

Mm-hmm.

I'm going to look this up right now.

I have the reserve, I think.

Reserve business.

Yeah, Reserve American Express.

And also, on top of this, get this.

Listen to this.

Yeah.

Even if you buy the nicer tickets starting next year, you'll be limited to six visits a year.

Six a year?

Mm-hmm.

And I have to buy first class for business?

Yeah, and even then, you're still limited to six a year.

So I'm just never going to go back.

Yeah.

I'm just never allowed to go back.

Yeah, sorry.

Ten a year for the reserve.

It's six for the platinum.

So you figured that's you.

You've unlimited access to Sky Club and Centurion lounge locations

as of of September 20th, 2023.

Yeah, beginning February 1st, 2025, Delta will cap American Express Platinum Card and Delta Reserve American Express card holder Sky Club visits to six and ten visits per year respectively.

According to Delta.

So mean.

I felt like a big businessman, you know?

I felt like I finally reached a stage in my life where, like,

I go to the club.

but I'm, you know, any club that would have me,

I wouldn't want to be a member of, I guess.

Yeah, not that.

The only way around it is you have to spend $75,000 a year on the credit card.

It's not fair.

Why are they taking this away from me?

Well, I'll tell you why.

The changes come after Delta recorded a record number of visitors at its Sky Club lounges last year.

Oh my god.

I went in Atlanta like a couple weeks ago.

It was, it was, it was pandemonium.

At Sky Club?

It was so many people.

Yeah, something had to change.

But not to me.

Yeah.

Anyways.

Yep.

I mean, there's no way.

I've been flying American just exclusively for a year because I've never really tried to get status with an airline.

I just fly whatever's cheapest.

And

so I'm like, okay, well, this is dumb.

I should just fly one airline.

So I've only flown American, and after being on the road almost every fucking weekend, I still do not have status.

And I won't.

No.

I've looked into this.

Delta Sky Miles Platinum and Platinum Business.

I have Reserve.

I don't have Platinum.

It says right here, all of their co-brand

co-branded premium.

No.

No, no.

It says Delta Sky Miles Platinum and Platinum Business.

I have the purple card.

I don't have the Platinum.

It says

who use co-branded credit cards like the Delta Sky Miles Reserve and Reserve Business American Express cards.

No, no, Delta Sky Miles Business Reserve.

Reserve Business American Express.

Fuck.

So I'm out.

So I'm just out?

Yes.

No, I get it six times a year.

Six times a year is the limit, but if you buy a basic economy ticket, I can't get it at all.

Just main cabin two or three,

you will not be allowed in the Skylounge.

They're fucking dickheads.

Fuck Delta.

And I just got your fucking card.

Fuck you.

I'm not going to fly you anymore.

Give me, just let me back in.

You don't have to let any of the other

just let you have to let me back in.

I don't care.

I got the purple one.

I got the purple card.

It's supposed to be the best one you have.

Congratulations, Nick.

No, I mean, American sucks, dude.

This is crazy.

I really thought I would have.

You don't get it.

But

theirs is called the Admirals Club.

Yeah, the Advantage Program.

Do you have any miles from them?

I have.

I've flown nothing but American.

Let me look.

I still need 460 points to reach gold

after flying nothing but American for...

And gold is the first tier.

Like the only way to do it is to get a credit card.

I still have access.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

Do you think that I would

announce this?

American Express cuts Delta lounge access benefits from flagship cards.

Should you re-evaluate your credit card strategy?

If you love Delta Sky Clubs, you'll hate these changes.

so look at this several american express

fuck yeah no trust me i i

made sure that i did not rub this in your face until i was 100

that the shit would stick it felt so good

it feels so good to go in there no never again i take big old dumps in there and they have the toilets where it's just a room you know the kind of toilets now you know you don't have to go into a bathroom.

Now you just have to go to the room.

And they close the door and they see your feet.

It's just a room.

You know, those are the best kind of toilets.

I have my own room to be.

I have a card that does nothing for you.

It does absolutely nothing.

Yeah.

I guess I get diamond medallion status, though.

And I get upgrades.

Not anymore.

Take it out of the tank.

No, they're not.

I mean, I don't think I have diamond.

I need to get silver medallion.

It was crazy.

You have that card and you have.

It feels so crazy.

You have diamond medallion status and you still got a fucking involuntary bump

when when you were coming back from portland you were gone for three days stuck in airports oh no i that was before i got the card i got the card that time because i signed up at the airport so i could go to the lounge because i was sitting in the airport all day after i got bumped oh okay And so I'm like sitting, I was in the airport for 12 hours, so I'm like, this fucking sucks.

Yeah.

And I see the club and I'm like, I want to go to the, I want to go.

No, so I signed up at the airport.

Well, that's what I stopped using so I could use this.

No, yeah, just get a chase card, rack up those points.

Now I got to go back to my chase.

My old bitch.

Yeah.

My old Visa bitch.

You know what else is nice with American Express?

They say member since.

Yeah.

And

2023, I was like, in years from now, I'm going to feel like I've been a member of the club a while.

You know what's fine?

I got got the Sapphire Reserve because they advertise it like it gets you into all of the premium lounges.

And then it's through some third-party company called like Platinum Pass.

Yeah.

And you have to go activate it.

They'll send you a card.

I've been to probably

25 airports.

It does not work in a single airport.

Like it does.

They're like, oh, yeah.

No, we take, you know where you can use this?

Terminal 11.

Yeah, yeah.

And then it's like Magic School bus airlines yeah yeah you know they got a place with a

have you ever been that just a fat lady covered in sushi this is really boring conversation for a podcast have you ever been to that weird terminal a at la guardia it just looks it's only

boston flights and um what's the shit one what's the absolute shittest airline

Spirit.

Spirit.

Yeah.

It's only Boston and Spirit.

It's flights to Boston and Spirit.

And it looks like you're in a regional airport in the middle of Kansas.

So it's part of old LaGuardia.

It's like old LaGuardia.

It's really cool, actually, there.

Yeah, it doesn't look like you're in a big city's airport.

I feel like you just kind of walk in there.

Is it Terminal A?

It's Terminal A.

La Guardia had numbers.

Maybe it's Terminal 1.

No, Terminal 1 is American and Delta.

I think I...

I think.

No, I think that's 4.3.

I think it's.

Yeah, whatever.

Okay, enough airline talk.

Fuck you, Delta.

I like airline talk.

Okay, here's the other thing, guys.

If you work for YouTube, can you find a way, if any of you work for Google or YouTube, can you just find a way to do it?

It accelerates letters at LaGuardia.

It's letters.

It's A.

Can you find a way to accelerate the approval process for monetization?

Because it's taking us a week to get approved on YouTube.

Once an episode is up, like a talk show episode is up, and then we're really excited to share it with you.

It's kind of now, I don't know, they fuck us.

They fuck our asses.

We have to sit there and have a human being manually approve it.

If anyone watching, you know, Hassan Piker perhaps, some of our big celebrity fans, could reach out to someone at YouTube, you know, someone that has kind of concierge access at YouTube, we would really appreciate it, especially if Hassan could do it and we could just, you know, feel like we're working on something with him.

That he's helping us out.

Somebody told me recently that he was privately was saying he can't wait to come on the show.

Our show?

Yeah, he's coming on the show.

He was saying that socially.

Yeah, he was going to.

He was at a soiree or something.

I was talking, yeah, it was like, yeah, it was at a soiree.

He was at a soi?

Yeah.

He was talking about how hyped he is to come on the party.

I think it was one of those 1920s New Year's Eve style parties.

Really?

Where there was

a gay man.

Yeah, like that gif of Leonardo Caprio.

A gay man having sex with a old-timey microphone.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, those parties.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

I love you, Mr.

Microphone.

You know,

just making out with a big metal microphone.

The songs used to suck.

Yeah.

Songs are really bad.

And the clothes look uncomfortable.

Yeah.

There's just glitter everywhere.

We were talking once about how our grandmas, when they sing songs, you're like, that can't be real songs.

Yeah, right.

And they're like, and I'm right.

Yeah.

It sounds like somebody stepped on her.

And I love you.

Yeah, right.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

You're not good at singing and you weren't in the 40s.

You stink.

Yeah.

You suck.

Boom.

Shut up, girl.

Shut up.

Yeah.

What are you talking about?

That's not a song.

It's not.

You're making it up.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, but.

And a tennis scene.

The guy that plays backpack drum for the fucking Blen Miller band

isn't going to fuck you because you sang that song.

And a kiss from your lover.

And a

kiss.

So I find in the blues.

Shut up.

You suck at singing.

Yeah.

But you can't just make up a song, Grandpa.

You can't just like...

Ah, dad,

I da-da-da-da.

Yeah, I mean, the best example of that is Big Edie in Grey Gardens.

Oh, yeah.

Where she's like, totally dumb.

Are you getting Nick's mic, Adam?

Okay, good.

Oh, yeah, that's a little smushed.

You say they hear a player in Broadway.

That's how they all sing.

Mr.

Dumbhat.

Psycho.

I want to watch that again.

It's really good.

It's so good.

Grandma's son.

School yourself.

Shut up, man.

The best part of that scene is where she tells the daughter she was bad at singing.

Yeah.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this version of the song.

The feeling is the most pure rendition.

I wish I had a record of big and little Edie songs and recitations.

If I was more tech savvy, I'm tempted to try, honestly.

But tech savvy?

What does that fucking mean?

What do you think technology is?

You can just

make something that doesn't exist.

That's like an acid thought.

Yeah.

If I could use it.

Maybe I'll learn technology so that

I can create a book written by JFK about Garfield.

Garfield was a cat.

Yeah.

Garfield, I love you.

Did you bring you your lasagna in the morning?

Lasagna

from your

lasagna,

Mr.

Garfield, when you share a lasagna with your sweetheart, you ravage my pussy, Mr.

Garfield,

getting fox back on you

in the mornings,

Mr.

Hitler, let me suck your cock.

you have to understand back then Hitler was cool

T for two and two for tea

Why do they sing like that?

I don't know you fucking idiots.

Yeah, you missed a hitline

You know

another documentary I want to re-watch again I was just talking about the other day is Can't Stop Eating you ever see that?

Yeah, you were talking about it the British kids yeah right

Can't stop eating Joe.

What's the big guy's name?

I think it's Joe.

Oh, yeah, Joe Blackburn.

Here we go.

Joe's dad has promised him a curry to get him out of the pub.

Do you always get what you want when you're at home?

Er, yeah.

It was wicked clue.

Don't your mum and dad ever stop you?

Do they try?

But she tried, but I say no.

Don't they ever stand up to you?

Why not?

What would you do if they said no to Harry?

Don't smile.

I'll pay up things.

I'll bring him round.

No, no, I'm going to make it into this.

I wouldn't look up to walk him up, it's not his fault, he's got a disability.

His mum's right.

What do you do if you walk him up?

Are you doing good?

So they're putting him in jail for eating.

Because he has so many chicken curries.

Joe's father has promised him a curry if he agrees to leave the pub.

Your parents always do, you know, what you tell them.

Yeah.

I'll knock them about if they say no.

Yeah.

That's a good one.

Beat up his parents for food.

Folks, check it out.

Can't stop eating.

Yeah, check out Great Gardens.

Yeah, Grey Gardens, too.

I don't have to do it for today.

Sorry if we were a little low energy today.

I think that...

I was just laughing a lot, man.

Yeah,

I was laughing a lot at that mystery song.

The lights are fucked up.

The lights are fucked up, guys.

We will be auctioning off.

Items.

Every episode, we're going to...

The new episode will be out probably tomorrow.

Hopefully, if YouTube won't fuck us in the ass and leave us in a fucking purgatory where a man needs, we go in a queue and a man needs to watch it to ensure that we're not spewing fake news about the vaccine.

As always, everyone, enjoy

fall.

Fall is back.

Be merry and in good health.

It's a...

Although this weekend's going to be 90.

A beautiful and short life, but you only got one to live.

Yes.

Yes, take advantage of every moment you have and spend it with people you love.

No, don't do that.

Why?

It's not.

That's right.

No, because people are like, oh, remember, life's short.

Remember to hug your loved ones.

It's like, what a fucking waste of time.

Hugging?

I didn't say that.

I said, spend time with people you love.

Play Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
