Key Discussion Points & Insights

---

1. Hygiene, Family Taboos, and Upbringing

[00:00–16:00]

• The podcast opens with a hilariously graphic discussion about personal grooming—shaving, waxing, and awkward family nudity scenarios.
• Andrew reveals his family’s comfort with nudity and overshares about his childhood, prompting laughter and ribbing from the crew.
  • Quote (Andrew, 03:05): "I remember my mom just like stopped shaving everything at one point...My family is quite comfortable being naked."
• Mark and Alexx reflect on the lack of sex education in their own families, touching on Catholic/Latino habits of repression.

---

2. Bill & Hillary Clinton/Epstein Files: Media Circus & Public Amnesia

[16:35–24:00]

• Discussion shifts to a viral clip of Bill Clinton reacting to the Epstein files.
• The hosts lampoon both Clintons' ability to deflect controversy with likability and how politics whitewashes old scandals over time.
  • Quote (Schulz, 18:14): "If they're like, why wasn't she this likable in 2016?"
• Mark and Alexx analyze the classic evasiveness under oath—Bill’s infamous “I did not have sexual relations” parsing and the legal fallout.
  • Quote (Alexx, 22:20): "Bill Clinton was found to have lied under oath during his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky during 98."
• The "Clinton body count" meme and Norm MacDonald's notorious Hillary joke on The View are dissected for their place in modern conspiracy lore.
• They compare American and Russian political violence, noting both public cynicism and selective outrage.

---

3. War Anxiety, Propaganda, and Democracy in the Era of AI & Misinformation

[28:52–45:00]

• The hosts break down the existential anxiety surrounding the new Middle East war (presumably U.S. v. Iran), asking if Americans can even be sold on another foreign conflict.
  • Quote (Schulz, 29:03): "There's that saying, like, when the war starts, the truth dies."
• Discussion on AI-generated content muddying reality (AI rabbis, deepfakes) and how "quiet luxury" is the new internet trend.
  • Quote (Alexx, 30:18): "We're talking about, like, you know, AI stuff...I'm seeing these AI rabbis that are like dropping Jewish secrets."
• Mark and Alexx riff on looksmaxing, frame-mogging, and how authenticity is being replaced by calculated self-presentation—even in international politics.

---

4. Middle East War: What’s This Actually About?

[48:32–75:34]

• The segment walks through the assassination of Iran’s leader, regime change, the region’s water scarcity/desalination, and global oil politics.
  • Quote (Mark, 49:02): "I mean, he was breaking it down. It's all about water, guys."
  • Quote (Andrew, 51:17): "So it's a religious thing, and they are going to fight to the end of time."
• Mark gives (comic) “Far Rockaway” geopolitical analysis, laughing at how little most Americans really care or know.
  • Quote (Mark, 62:00): "Is this the first war of American history where they haven't even bothered to propagandize?"
• They mock classic war propaganda (“Iran about to get nukes!”), gamify selling Americans on another war, and note that emotional disconnection lets us accept foreign regime change more easily.
  • Quote (Alexx, 54:48): "What does Israel do for America? America, we're swinging our dicks around...Why don't we take Israel? 51st state."
• The hosts question the wider strategic rationale—oil, rare earths, blocking China—or whether U.S. interventions are just about aiding Israel.
  • Quote (Schulz, 68:39): "It's like they haven't even told us what the thing is in the air. Do we get oil? Do we get to control where the oil goes?"

---

5. Internet Trust Collapse & How We Process Conflict

[34:27–38:00, 76:01–92:04]

• Cynicism about digital trust and breakdown of faith in government/media narratives.
• They consider if American apathy is tied to an era of information abundance; even propaganda techniques feel obsolete.
  • Quote (Schulz, 64:23): "I wonder if they realize they just can't lie anymore."
• Discussion about the way humanitarian justifications and “liberation” have been used/abused in U.S. foreign policy (Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc.).
  • Quote (Alexx, 67:43): "What a mission that was. Vietnam. That's right. What did we do for them now? They just got more mopeds, that's all."
• Skepticism about "decapitation" (targeting leaders) actually working, especially with entrenched regimes like Iran.

---

6. Epstein Files Cover-Up? (Jokingly…) and Trump Era Dissonance

[91:14–97:05]

• The conspiracy meme: Is the Iran war just to distract from recently released Epstein/Clinton files?
  • Quote (Alexx, 91:21): "Also, you saw people saying this is just to cover up the Epstein files."
• Joke speculation about Trump’s incentives, political will, and his transactional negotiating tendencies.
• Praise for bold, pragmatic politicians (like NYC’s mayor), as opposed to ideologues afraid of “optics.”

---

7. Internet Gambling, Prediction Markets, & Human Nature (MrBeast Story)

[99:50–113:59]

• The group discusses the recent news of a MrBeast video editor busted for insider trading on prediction markets, raising questions about fairness, regulation, and gaming the system.
  • Quote (Schulz, 106:31): "If you're going to go to jail, put the most money. Don't go to jail for $4,000."
• They segue into the psychological darkness of competition shows like Beast Games, asking what they say about our moral limits and the price of betrayal.

Summary Takeaway

This episode exemplifies Flagrant’s ability to filter international crises, political scandal, and internet culture through the lens of American self-deprecation, digital skepticism, and a sharp eye for the absurdity of modern life. Whether analyzing the utility of “quiet luxury,” roasting the Clintons’ historical rewrite, or riffing on MrBeast’s social experiment as a microcosm for human greed, the crew keeps things real, hilarious, and bitingly insightful.

If you want world news, media criticism, and the wild ride of contemporary culture—minus the filter and with plenty of laughs—this one is quintessential Flagrant.

[Andrew Schulz]

No. Really?

[Alex Ramos]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Did you ever try to broach it with any of your older siblings or.

[Alex Ramos]

We all pushed it down, dude. That's how Catholics do. You just suppress it. You keep it low key. No one brings it up.

[Andrew Schulz]

And it works.

[Alex Ramos]

No, no. I mean, I think almost all my sisters had kids before they were married. I think without fail respect, you understand. We are Canadian ethnically and we're culturally Mexican. Like, we are like, we are Catholic. We kind of are loud

[Andrew Schulz]

as correct. 100%.

[Alex Ramos]

Really?

[Mark Gagnon]

It was real Catholic school girls over there.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, 100% and did.

[Alex Ramos]

And they got married. They have great families. They have beautiful husbands. But it all happened.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

With passion. The relationships are predicated on passion. We're passionate people.

[Andrew Schulz]

We are passionate. Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

But all those kids in your house, like you had to like walk into the room and your brothers are jerking it or something like that? Like never.

[Alex Ramos]

What kind of heated rivalry? You guys are too porn brained. Okay? This is the problem with you never

[Mark Gagnon]

caught none of your brothers jerking. Answer the question.

[Andrew Schulz]

Let him go. Let him go. Let him go. Because this is Mark. I don't jerk off in front of my brothers, only with my mom in the car. Okay?

[Alex Ramos]

That's different.

[Mark Gagnon]

All right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Allegedly.

[Alex Ramos]

If that even happens.

[Andrew Schulz]

You jerk off in the back seat with your mom driving.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's wild.

[Alex Ramos]

There's so many seats away, bro. You're with another room nearby. It's like. Yeah, dude.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, did you guys ever jerk off in college? Like in the door? In the. In like the showers? The communal showers?

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, I mean, no, but we did have the communal showers and there would be a drain. That was a communal drain.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

You guys, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, but some of them don't have it. Some of them are now like individual stalls.

[Andrew Schulz]

I caught a lick with everybody in there.

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. I mean, it was so obvious too, because I was part of the combo. And then I just dropped out for, like, three minutes. And they're like, schultz. Hey, Schultz is off comes.

[Alex Ramos]

He's off comes.

[Mark Gagnon]

Is it like, separate stalls, though? Is it like, separate stalls or.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, I just went to, like, a corner and then. No.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay, separate stalls, but there's a shared, like, drain that everything goes down.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And so you could just see everyone's soap just moving on by.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

So depending on if Schultz is upriver,

[Mark Gagnon]

you know,

[Alex Ramos]

there might be a Citronauri.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's crazy. So you aim for the drain there. But you could even aim for the drain at his house.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay, this is different. There's a lot of allegations happening.

[Mark Gagnon]

That is great, guys.

[Andrew Schulz]

There's war. War happening.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

You can't be having fun.

[Mark Gagnon]

I know. He caught one of his brother's jerking it. You had to. There's too many kids in that house.

[Alex Ramos]

You understand?

[Mark Gagnon]

My brother, that didn't all have your own room.

[Alex Ramos]

Brothers are much older.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay, and so you caught your sisters.

[Andrew Schulz]

With all due respect, just be. No, dude, we don't do that, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

We're Catholic.

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, they do a lot of shit,

[Andrew Schulz]

but they was doing it. Yo, I'll tell you, there's one.

[Alex Ramos]

There's one person we caught. There's. Okay, don't do Guitar Hero. That's crazy. I don't even like that.

[Andrew Schulz]

Makes me smacking bean like an ice age. Hold on.

[Alex Ramos]

No, there's one person I caught drinking off in my house ever. And it was an exchange student that we had.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, the French guy? Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And we taught him how to use Bluetooth to play music around the house.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

And then immediately he was like, okay, I'm going to go to sleep now. And then he went to the room, and then immediately we just heard, like, blasting in that.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Alex Ramos]

And it was in French. He was like, oh, like, it's like all. It was insane.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, no. And I had to go in the

[Alex Ramos]

room, be like, yo, yo, yo, yo, we can hear your video game. And he's like, oh, I'm so sorry. I don't know.

[Andrew Schulz]

And it just turned up. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And he just. That was it. We never talked about it. That's how.

[Andrew Schulz]

Talk about. You never addressed it once.

[Alex Ramos]

No, that's how stuff happens. And then we move on. You push it down. Drink. That's how you're supposed to do it. You just. You push.

[Andrew Schulz]

Shout out Catholics. Maybe there's something to that. No, you know, then keep it moving, bro. Yeah, keep it moving. Like, talk about.

[Alex Ramos]

No, you push it down. If it comes Up. You blame other people. You blame your wife. You blame your kids.

[Mark Gagnon]

You just.

[Alex Ramos]

You don't.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes. All right.

[Alex Ramos]

You can't bring it up, dude, the way it's supposed to be.

[Andrew Schulz]

Did he ever apologize to you? Is he like, oh, this is so embarrassing?

[Alex Ramos]

No, he's French. I think he meant to do it. Like, they're. They're freaky people, the French. They don't think you gave a. Never bother his sisters around.

[Mark Gagnon]

He must have been going crazy.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, dude. We had another exchange student thing. This is actually wild. I don't even know if I can really see.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yes. Don't market.

[Alex Ramos]

Send a bird back home and.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, send the.

[Alex Ramos]

Send the bird. We had exchange students, two girls from England that were exchange students living in our home.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay, this is the start of a great story. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

And one day, how many kids were in your house?

[Mark Gagnon]

Didn't they have enough? And then they're taken in exchange.

[Alex Ramos]

Like, I know.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's like Wayne Manor. What is that? Batman?

[Guest or caller]

Where he lives?

[Andrew Schulz]

It's just like, an orphanage. Okay, go on.

[Alex Ramos]

And I. I'm like, maybe, like, 10 or something. I don't know. And we get a knock on the door, and my mom opens the door, and immediately one of my neighbors busts in. Our neighbor's a girl who's probably at this point, like, 18, 19. The exchange students are probably, like, 18, 19. And the girl comes in, and she goes, where the fuck is that bitch? And my mom's like, what? She goes, where's that exchange student bitch? Where is she? And she bursts in the house, starts going through the rooms trying to find her. And my mom's like, what happened? She goes, she slept with my girlfriend.

[Andrew Schulz]

And we were like, what? She slept with my girlfriend?

[Alex Ramos]

So our neighbor. We just found out all in one moment that our neighbor was a lesbian, that the exchange student that was living inside the house was also a lesbian, and she was hooking up with the neighbor's girlfriend while on exchange. And now the lesbian was trying to have a fight in our house.

[Andrew Schulz]

Hold on.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo, that's fire.

[Alex Ramos]

Hold on.

[Andrew Schulz]

Wait.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's fine.

[Andrew Schulz]

The neighbor was a girl also?

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

And did your mom ever talk about this afterwards?

[Alex Ramos]

No. No. We pushed it down, but they. They ended up adjudicating. They had a big yelling fight outside. It almost turned into a thing. My mom was just like, get out of the house. Like, if you guys want to fight. Like, she didn't understand anything that was happening. My mom was also not super down with the gay shit. And so she's like, Infidelity and gay.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like, what?

[Alex Ramos]

So she just kicked him out of the house. And then they just like figured it out like in the street. And just like a British girl I didn't know, she said like, it wasn't. It wasn't.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like you guys weren't really dating.

[Alex Ramos]

I wasn't really aware. And then they just, they cooled it and then that was it. And then we moved on and never brought it up until this very moment. I gotta double check that. I can tell the story. But yeah, that's. That's a real thing.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's awesome.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why would you guys have these grown ups coming to stay with you?

[Alex Ramos]

These girls were a part of a semi professional soccer exchange program.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

And they came because my sister was playing on a semi professional soccer team and they came over to play and they needed a house while they were playing in the league.

[Guest or caller]

It's called billeting in hockey.

[Alex Ramos]

What is it billet in hockey?

[Guest or caller]

I don't know if you guys type.

[Mark Gagnon]

Huh.

[Alex Ramos]

But yeah, they didn't, they didn't say they're like sexual status prior to. So we just kind of rolled the dice. I mean, female athlete, we probably should have guessed, but yeah, all time. Dude, that was popping in the house. That's what we were up to.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wait, your sister's lesbian too? No. Oh, no.

[Alex Ramos]

She was just one of the good ones.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Dude, that's crazy. There's too many kids in that house, man.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. That's the way it should be. That's what we.

[Andrew Schulz]

Tons of kids in the house.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes, exactly. On like a commune. A bunch of kids, families all raising each other.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, you need the other families.

[Mark Gagnon]

These kids are the same thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

Jesus. All right.

[Alex Ramos]

Kind of a different approach.

[Andrew Schulz]

Jesus Christ. A bunch of kids. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant.

[Alex Ramos]

It's your boy Chelsea. We didn't do that here with Alex.

[Andrew Schulz]

Media Marky gag. Okay. Akash still traveling the world selling out shows everywhere. Shout out to him. He just added a sixth show in Toronto, fourth show in Houston. Radio City coming up. So make sure you go check out. Check him out as he comes to your city. And then Bill Clinton's back on the mic. Yo, shout out Bill, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, dude. Yeah, you saw this clip?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yo, this shit killed me.

[Mark Gagnon]

He still got it, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like he's character. Play this clip.

[Alex Ramos]

So Bill Clinton is looking at Epstein files, like photos of him and Epstein sort of smiling.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I know. He's. Let me see my old work. Yeah,

[Andrew Schulz]

He's trying to touch her.

[Mark Gagnon]

He licked his face. He Was Mark sister just now.

[Andrew Schulz]

With all due respect, you got. With all due respect, you got to do first, bro. Look at him, Bill, proud of himself with his apple watch. Look at him. Look at his heart rate. Look at the red on the apple watch. That is like he had four heart attacks already. Fifth one coming.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, man.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's like, oh, I remember that night that just came back to him. He's like, oh, yeah, the tweet was.

[Andrew Schulz]

He's reminiscing.

[Mark Gagnon]

What did he say, bro?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I can't say the whole tweet unless I have Tourette's.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, it's just unreal. So this was a part of a deposition regarding the Epstein files where they. They both just got, like, cross examined

[Andrew Schulz]

for, like, five hours.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And it seems like it kind of worked.

[Andrew Schulz]

It worked for whom?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, people are saying that Hillary is super likable.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. They're like, Epstein, like, complimented her. Epstein was like, yeah, she's much more attractive in person. And then nobody asked Hillary or anything. She's just like, I'm not gonna deny that or something like that.

[Alex Ramos]

I won't object to that one. Yeah, yeah. People are saying that. She's. If they're like, why wasn't she this likable in 2016?

[Mark Gagnon]

I think she got a bad. Like, a bad rap. She's cool, man.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

This is just politics.

[Andrew Schulz]

She's cool.

[Alex Ramos]

George Bush is hanging out with Ellen. Like, you just give it enough time, and everyone's gonna be like, oh, yeah, it was fine.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's all fine. Come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't remember any of the shit she did.

[Alex Ramos]

This is. That's all politics, I'm telling you. Like, look at Bush. But everyone. The people look at Bush now. They're like, oh, he's like an old guy.

[Mark Gagnon]

It was all Dick Cheney.

[Alex Ramos]

Killed a million around.

[Mark Gagnon]

How is Dick Cheney.

[Andrew Schulz]

But that is interesting that everybody just goes, he was too stupid to do it. It must have been Dick Cheney.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

And he kind of just lets people.

[Alex Ramos]

Genius, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Why wouldn't you?

[Guest or caller]

Right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. You want to take that smoke? He took advantage of me. Yeah. All right, guys, here's all the dates in 30 seconds. Nashville, the 20th and 21st. Sold out. Thank you guys so much. Nashville, excited to see you. Providence, March 28th. Los Angele with Jelly Roll at the Netflix Fest on May 8th. And then Halifax, Nova Scotia, August 8th. Alex.

[Mark Gagnon]

And March 16th.

[Andrew Schulz]

You're completely blurry.

[Alex Ramos]

All right, that's all of our ads. All right, let's get back to this.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Autofocuses Is it autofocus?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes. Come on.

[Andrew Schulz]

My bad, my bad.

[Mark Gagnon]

March 16th, canceled comedy. Just go to cancel comedy x.com we are at. I forgot the name of the venue, but just get your tickets anyway.

[Andrew Schulz]

Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster, Zero Ultra. That's the OG it kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing. But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian Sunrise, and Vice Guava. And they all bring the Monster Energy punch.

[Mark Gagnon]

So if you've been living in the

[Andrew Schulz]

White can, branch out. Ultra's got a flavor for every vibe, and every single one is Zero Sugar Sugar.

[Mark Gagnon]

Tap the banner to learn more.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I think that, like, weirdly, the deposition just confirmed what everybody already felt. And maybe that's not weird. That's the Internet now.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

But it's like, if you think that they're guilty, you're like, obviously, look at this right here. And then if you think that this is, I don't know, blown out of proportion for the Clintons, you're like, oh, look at them. They obviously had nothing to do with this. They didn't even know what's going on. Though I will say there's some times with Clinton where he's like, yeah, I was just in the pool and then I went for, like, a swim. He's like, talking about what happened in this pool with, like, amazing detail that you really don't remember times of your life. Like, have you ever, like, talked to somebody who. Or seen a deposition with somebody who didn't commit a crime, and people ask him what they did that day, and

[Mark Gagnon]

there's too many details.

[Andrew Schulz]

And that's too many details. You did it. If you're like, bro, I don't know what I did Thursday of a September, four years ago. I have no clue. Right. That, to me, goes, oh, yeah, you're probably innocent.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Because you don't remember everything you did.

[Alex Ramos]

And you're sounding a little bit guilty by being like, I don't really remember, but it's by being way too specific.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's like, oh, he was like, oh, we were just at this hotel and they insisted we go in the pool.

[Andrew Schulz]

Have you ever been forced in a pool? I know. Never once has everybody been like, you must go in the pool. You know, also.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You're the.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

You get to do whatever you want.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

You're the president. Or at this time, maybe he was

[Mark Gagnon]

former president, but former president, but, yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

No one tells you what to do. No one tells you to put on fucking shorts.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, in fairness, I didn't watch the whole deposition. I didn't watch all five hours of each of them. So I don't know all the things that happened. But what were the standout moments? Joe? There's some of these. Some clips. Yeah. I have Bill Clinton asking if he's been ever lied under oath.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, this is funny. First question I have for you, Mr. President.

[Alex Ramos]

Have you ever lied under.

[Andrew Schulz]

In a deposition?

[Alex Ramos]

No. Have you ever lied while under oath?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Alex Ramos]

Wait, hold on for a second.

[Mark Gagnon]

Technically, he's not lying.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, break that down.

[Mark Gagnon]

He wasn't under oath when he said, I never had relations with her. Or was he? I thought that was just, like, an address to the country. No, like, wasn't he just filming himself in the Oval Office, just, like, talking straight to camera? I don't think he was like, what

[Andrew Schulz]

about when he was impeached? He was impeached.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's when he switched it.

[Andrew Schulz]

He was impeached for lying.

[Mark Gagnon]

I didn't have sexual relations with her. Because then he's like, oh, well, it's not penetration, so it's not sexual.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes. Bill Clinton was found to have lied under oath during his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky during 98. Civil deposition, subsequent grand jury testimony.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right, Al, stop running cover for the Clintons, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

How much they paying you? You're b.

[Alex Ramos]

How much they paying you, man?

[Mark Gagnon]

The Clintons is cool, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

I know. Bought by the Clintons is cool. Why we acting like they not cool?

[Alex Ramos]

He's trying to stay off the hit list. Big hill. Big hill. He's trying not to get got by Killary. Dog Killary. He's trying to stay away from it. He is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Did they really kill mad people?

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, let's get our conspiracy hats on, you know? What's the conspiracy, Mark? What's up with the Clinton body list? I mean, you know, body count.

[Alex Ramos]

You never see Norm MacDonald talking about what he said. He's like, yeah, you know, Hillary, you know, killed all those people. He's on the View, and they're like, you can't say that. He's like, oh, it's a matter of record. She's a murderer. And they're like, you can't. No. And he just doubles down. It's maybe the greatest clip of all time. But, I mean, just based off that alone, I'm like, yeah, I trust. I trust.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Nora would probably.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, I think she probably. She probably killed a couple people, if you count Benghazi.

[Mark Gagnon]

There's a.

[Alex Ramos]

You know, a couple There.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but that's like being responsible for something. But I'm talking about like they say

[Alex Ramos]

it's like being responsible.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's different. In her job, you know, maybe they made the wrong decision or whatever the case is, but I'm talking about getting a hit. Like, hey, let's take this out.

[Andrew Schulz]

You're talking about white Americans. You don't count it when it's them browns. Al. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

What you talking about? Clinton's black.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

It's interesting, that version. I don't think you said what you thought you said. But I like what I miss.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right?

[Alex Ramos]

Even Hillary.

[Andrew Schulz]

Bill, maybe. But Bill might be passing. But I don't know about Hillary.

[Mark Gagnon]

Son. What's the more black than liking a white woman

[Andrew Schulz]

that is the blackest? About to make her fat, too. She got heavies.

[Mark Gagnon]

Y. She be hiding those. But what we. We. We know back in the day, right? Don't kill me. Clinton's.

[Alex Ramos]

No. Can you search Seth Ridge?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I don't kill people. But don't kill me.

[Alex Ramos]

What, you don't want to start?

[Guest or caller]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Now, Seth Ridge is apparently someone that Hillary killed. That was. That's one of the big old conspiracies. I don't. I don't believe this one. They've never been indicted for this crime, so this is all purely alleged.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

And it just exists in conspiracy lore.

[Mark Gagnon]

Put me on to this one. I don't know this one.

[Alex Ramos]

I don't know all the exact details, to be honest with you, but basically, like, he was, like, working with them. He was supposed to, like, testify for something and then mysteriously was like, stabbed in the back by a random vigilante that was never caught or something like this. I'm probably butchering the details, so give me a pass, but that's fine. Something like that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Where did it happen? It could be.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

D.C. bad crime there.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. Yeah. He was shot in the back as he made his way home one night in Washington. 27 year old Democrat, DNC staffer. His family said they believe it was a botched robbery. Yeah. It didn't stop conservative pundits like Al from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories that he was murdered because he's provided WikiLeaks with emails from the DNC, which again, I don't believe this. Theories on who killed him and why have made headlines. Young DNC staffer died just as you're on the cusp of starting a political dream. One that appeared to be the perfect next step for a political path launched during his teenage years.

[Andrew Schulz]

Hmm.

[Alex Ramos]

All right, well, I don't think it's

[Andrew Schulz]

hypothetically, but that's just one.

[Mark Gagnon]

But hypothetically. That's like, if somebody from the gang starts releasing some files, we not taking them out.

[Alex Ramos]

Up. You would be perfect in politics. You really would be perfect.

[Andrew Schulz]

You have the perfect joke. I can't.

[Alex Ramos]

You have a mafia brain.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, we don't do crime. We don't do crime.

[Alex Ramos]

You'd be terrible at. Actually. You sound like Bill Glennon. You're like, have you ever done crime? No.

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Alex Ramos]

See? Easy.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Russia just took somebody out. That was in the files.

[Mark Gagnon]

Who?

[Guest or caller]

God.

[Andrew Schulz]

What is this guy's name? I know his, like, daughter was crying on Instagram saying, like, putin killed my dad. And then it's kind of this up. It's morbid, but she goes, I didn't really have a good relationship with him, but Putin did kill my dad. Like, I don't know why she brought that up. I don't understand why that was important at all. But, yeah. What is this guy's name?

[Alex Ramos]

Just in the interest of full. How are you gonna act like you knew his name?

[Andrew Schulz]

I knew was Dies Z. That is hard to pronounce.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, it's right there. What could it be?

[Andrew Schulz]

P67 and was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head at the Vesper Tverskaya luxury residential complex in Moscow.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, just a botch robbery.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, it's a botch robbery, obviously. Disbralov's name had service in documents tied to Epstein in an email sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of longtime confidant of disgrace. Finding science here. Okay, so you know Putin's cleaning house of all the Epstein associates.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Is this what Russia thinks of us? Like, we have this idea of Russia, like, anybody goes against Putin or goes against the regime that, like, they get taken out. But, like, people get taken out here that are, you know, randomly connected to shit. So is this what other countries think of us?

[Mark Gagnon]

That's a good question. I don't think so.

[Alex Ramos]

Probably they must.

[Andrew Schulz]

Or at least they must get propagandized in that way. Like. Or maybe Russia goes, well, yeah, we do it here, but in the States, they do it as well. So this is just how countries work.

[Alex Ramos]

The thing is, conspiracy theories are easy when you don't have an emotional connection. You know what I mean? So if you tell me, like, oh, yeah, there's, like, this very powerful wealthy guy in Russia, and he was supposed to testify before the thing against Putin, and he fell out of a window. You're just like, oh, yeah, they obviously Killed him. We can just easily get on board with that. But if you start connecting in America where you're like, oh, yeah, well, there was this guy that was working with Obama that died in a paddle thing in small amount of water. All of a sudden you got Americans be like, no, all right, well, let's look at the facts, you know, like, let's look into it. And it's the emotional connection. You're like, it can't be.

[Andrew Schulz]

If that happened in Russia, there is no question.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm not saying it did or didn't.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm saying drowned in four feet of water.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, even saying it, you're like,

[Andrew Schulz]

yeah, if he shot in 4ft of water, we'd be like, ah, something fishy going on over here.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, probably. Yeah, right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah. But here. And because it's Obama, we're like, ah, of course not.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Obama would never. Guys, come on.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yes, we know he would never. Obviously he would never.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly. Come on. Yeah, it was Clintons.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay, what else is going on, guys? What's happening in the world right now? Obviously, we're at war.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, we're at war.

[Andrew Schulz]

Are you guys, like. Do you feel existential anxiety about this war?

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, kind of. A little.

[Andrew Schulz]

I feel it. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

A little.

[Mark Gagnon]

Hm.

[Andrew Schulz]

There's that saying, like, when the. We should look up who said this, but when the war starts, the truth dies. Have you heard of that?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

And it's like, basically, once the war begins, I mean, before the war even, but especially once it begins, like, the propaganda machine starts and this is like from both sides. From both sides. And so you don't really know. And now information is disseminated so quickly and with fucking AI. Like, Ben Uyeda said, it sent a great thing. It's like, video games have gotten so good that now we can't really discern between reality and video games. Especially with like, some of this, like, fighter jet footage. Oh, that's just fire.

[Alex Ramos]

Fire. Yeah. You've seen these. It'll just be footage of a jet. And you're like, this looks amazing. And it's like the most insane thing. It's like flying through a city. You're like, what?

[Andrew Schulz]

Or like a jet evading a missile. And the missile goes like right under the plane. And then it does like a backflip over and you're like, oh, we're the best. We got the best.

[Alex Ramos]

Or an AI Rabbis Dropping knowledge.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yo, Mark, just let me know. Those are AI.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wait, what do you have this? Joey, you got to pull this up.

[Andrew Schulz]

I mean, this Yo, I didn't know these were. I thought dudes was spitt this guy. Yeah, we were talking and I was

[Alex Ramos]

like, oh, yeah, hold on.

[Andrew Schulz]

Rabbis blueprint.

[Alex Ramos]

We're talking and. And we're talking about, like, you know, AI stuff that's obviously AI. And I was like, yeah. And like, I'm seeing these AI rabbis that are like dropping like, Jewish secrets. And it's obviously AI. And Joel's like, wait, hold. What do you mean?

[Andrew Schulz]

I thought they were giving up game, bro. I thought they was giving up games.

[Mark Gagnon]

Listen, you getting caught.

[Andrew Schulz]

You getting caught, like, wear a ten

[Alex Ramos]

dollar shirt and own ten million dollars in real estate. Here's why. You fly business class once and post it everywhere. We fly free and post nothing. You eat at the fancy restaurant for one night because at the end he's gonna be like, subscribe, save this and read it on payday. Send this to someone who needs to stop pretending and start building. I put everything I know in one guide.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, it's selling something.

[Andrew Schulz]

So she'll saw this rabbi going, I watched the whole day. Yeah, he definitely didn't get to Lincoln bio. I didn't see the link in bio.

[Mark Gagnon]

So many things.

[Andrew Schulz]

But I turned it off immediately when he was like, you guys eat at a nice restaurant. We own the building. It's like, well, yeah, one of those is way more expensive than the other. How'd you get enough money to buy the fucking bunch building? It's not like we're deciding between eating a steak dinner and then buying a building, right? One is $100 and the other is

[Mark Gagnon]

20 million n. But his accent should be stronger. If you look like that, the accent got to be stronger.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got to be. It just got to be. That should have been. That should have been the first. And then he's seinfelding it. And then why does he have some

[Mark Gagnon]

cognac sitting right there?

[Andrew Schulz]

We own the whole city. There you go. You guys use chopsticks. We buy the Asians in the containers. Like, what are these?

[Mark Gagnon]

What are these? Alcohol.

[Andrew Schulz]

But why does it like, people will fall for this. Idiots.

[Mark Gagnon]

You.

[Andrew Schulz]

What do you mean? Who? What, me? You? Come on.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

You guys drink alcohol. We own water.

[Alex Ramos]

And look at all the as we be like, yes, clock it. Such good advice, Loki. It is fire advice.

[Andrew Schulz]

But what is the advice, guys? Instead of buying Gucci sneakers.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Buy all the airplanes.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes. How is that not good advice?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, like, why didn't I think of that, guys? Why did I not think of that?

[Alex Ramos]

Why did you not think instead of

[Andrew Schulz]

buying baby formula, do What? Buy the world by the whole world. Yeah, eat the baby. Just devour them. You will have eternal life. What is this?

[Mark Gagnon]

He was like, he flies for free. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. If you subscribe for more, get the

[Andrew Schulz]

link in the bio. Instead of watching movies, own Hollywood. This is the advice he's giving us.

[Alex Ramos]

But this is how you know people don't know Jews because there believe it. There are people watching this being like,

[Andrew Schulz]

yo, I never thought of that. I never thought of that option.

[Alex Ramos]

He's like, bro, I need to subscribe for the Jew magic. I need to know the secrets. Like, what secrets?

[Andrew Schulz]

Hey, we can't go out to dinner tonight. Why not? Well, I'm just gonna buy the block. So I was dinner buying a block. I think I should buy it.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, this killed me. People really think they're wizards.

[Andrew Schulz]

That.

[Alex Ramos]

That made me laugh. People being anti Semitic in the comments.

[Andrew Schulz]

What do they say? What do they say?

[Alex Ramos]

Stolen land made you rich. Which is like, bro, it's a robot.

[Andrew Schulz]

They also take food stamps and public assistance at very high rates. Yo, they're getting trolled.

[Alex Ramos]

And they're like, there's an Indian guy in Mumbai. In Mumbai, making an AI rabbi, putting out basic dumb financial advice. That kind of makes sense. And then people are having geopolitical discourse in the comments. It's the funniest thing. It's crazy. This is real. This is real life. This is the timeline that we're in.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, the whole Internet is cooked.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

We're killing cook.

[Andrew Schulz]

It is. I'm at the point where, like, there's. I don't believe a single thing on the Internet. Is there anything. Yes, you do. This is good financial advice. This is good financial. This is good financial advice. They don't buy hats. They don't buy hats. What do they do?

[Alex Ramos]

They own the Internet.

[Andrew Schulz]

They own haircuts. They own all haircuts. They own the barbers. They don't need a hat.

[Mark Gagnon]

They stop at the curls.

[Andrew Schulz]

Keep going. I'm just saying. Yeah. I don't know. I just like every single thing I see. Maybe I should just get off the Internet.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes, bro. Yeah, bro. That quiet luxury you got to get on. Quiet luxury.

[Andrew Schulz]

What's quiet luxury, Mark?

[Alex Ramos]

Quiet luxury is the new.

[Mark Gagnon]

Stop clocking it. That is pissing me off.

[Alex Ramos]

Clocking it. You need to start clocking.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, you don't clock enough.

[Alex Ramos]

You're not.

[Andrew Schulz]

I think he's jealous that you clocked it before him.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's a black girl thing. Stop doing it.

[Alex Ramos]

It's a Gay guy thing. Yeah. Black woman stole. No. Okay. Clock it. Yes, obviously.

[Andrew Schulz]

Is it this finger?

[Alex Ramos]

No, no, see, that's. That's the. Come on, bro.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, come on.

[Andrew Schulz]

Clock it, clock it, clock it, clock it. Y. Yeah, just clock it, dude.

[Alex Ramos]

Quiet luxury. This is how. This is how you signal luxury in the new era, okay? Buy less stuff. Minimalism. Eat insects. Okay? Subscribe to things. Don't own anything. Huh? It's the new world order. No, quiet luxury is literally like the. The new luxury indicators. And being chronically online, that's. That's low status, bro. Yeah, you gotta elevate. You gotta ascend.

[Andrew Schulz]

You gotta ascend.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. And if you're chronically online, you're cooking your brain.

[Andrew Schulz]

I feel cooked, man.

[Alex Ramos]

You think claviculous is really gonna recommend you're online all day?

[Andrew Schulz]

I don't think so.

[Alex Ramos]

No, I don't think you need to ascend immediately, bro. You saw him with Piers More Morgan.

[Mark Gagnon]

Really? No.

[Alex Ramos]

This is.

[Mark Gagnon]

This is the fun.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah. Why were you on the island?

[Alex Ramos]

Pierce Brovicular with Piers Morgan is so funny because he drops a sound effect on the news.

[Andrew Schulz]

Wait, what?

[Alex Ramos]

Dude, go. Piers Morgan clavicular. Ascend. This is basically, if you don't know, clavicular.

[Mark Gagnon]

I know. I just don't get his appeal, but. No, no, I'm just not buying.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm buying. He's the looks maxer that went on Piers Morgan's show, and Piers Morgan's basically asking him about his questions or about his stances on politics and his philosophy, and then clavicular roasts him with a sound effect on his own show. Played the clip quite silly to me that you're with the number one looks maxer. And instead of asking how you could ascend so that, you know, your wife wouldn't tweet out captions like. Like, when my husband's away, Mr. Sut comes out to play. Maybe if you ask me how to ascend, then that would stop happening to you. You know what I mean?

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

Pierce goes like, all right. Well, I mean.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, that is.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm just trying to ask questions.

[Mark Gagnon]

Maybe I do get it.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, man, that cracked me up to.

[Guest or caller]

Dude.

[Alex Ramos]

So you got to ascend, is my point. And by being chronically online, you're spiking your cortisol suboptimal for ascension.

[Andrew Schulz]

Ah, that's what I'm saying.

[Mark Gagnon]

Does your generation, like, believe him? Like, think he's an attractive guy? Like, is this the cool guy? Now pull up a pick.

[Alex Ramos]

What do you mean my generation? You can't look at this Guy and understand that he's fully ascended.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, but I mean like first you

[Alex Ramos]

don't think his orbitals are optimal. You don't think he has great symmetry.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but it was like the homeless look that you go for that was kind of in. And now is this in. Now

[Andrew Schulz]

you didn't even need a poke at him to prove your point. He said, you're old, bro. He said wash. No, that used to be it, but now is it used to be it. No, I was never cool.

[Alex Ramos]

I was never in.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, you are.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm a trad cat. I'm a trad catholic. Me and shy. I'm not in. I'm not cool. I don't do hookup culture. I don't do that kind of stuff.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, that used to be in. Now this is, this is the thing.

[Alex Ramos]

Now you're telling me this guy's not handsome. You're really gonna look at this, be like, oh, your generation thinks that this ripped looks maxer isn piece.

[Mark Gagnon]

Some girls don't like that shit. Or they claim they don't like that shit.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, bro. My exchange students live in my house. Those kind of girls, normal women, they think this is fire.

[Mark Gagnon]

Do women like this shit?

[Guest or caller]

It's unmiked. You were talking.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, you could just say yes or no.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, the handlers got him. The handlers got him. He's off, bro. All right.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I mean, I think he's objectively a good looking guy.

[Alex Ramos]

I think that's his utility within the stream space is that basically like a 15 year old kid is able to live vicariously through a hot dude that's charismatic, that talks to women, that's famous and on stream all day, he's like going to clubs and if you're a 15 year old dude that's like not really talking to women, or maybe if you are talking to women, I don't know his fan base, but you're watching this being like, wow, this is awesome.

[Mark Gagnon]

Got it. His fans are young.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, but who is.

[Alex Ramos]

I think stream fans are young in general. So I don't know his demo specifically, but I assume.

[Andrew Schulz]

But who is not looks maxing you? No, but you just keep it soldier in the lyrics.

[Mark Gagnon]

But that's be silly guys.

[Andrew Schulz]

But okay, you can't every, every time bomb like guys. Well, why are you just being as silly as me silly? But like isn't everybody looks maxing? Like, I don't know, like you're looks maxing, right? Like you have an outfit that matches, like you care about your hair, like these things. Like yeah, that's what he say.

[Mark Gagnon]

Traffic cones. He. He bombed.

[Alex Ramos]

I didn't say that.

[Andrew Schulz]

You walk. I know. I thought you said drafting in, car come. And I was like, I don't even know what that means, but traffic cone is. I got it with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't like that, that he said that? I mean, was it something that you considered when you put that on your head today?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Not at all.

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay, fair enough.

[Mark Gagnon]

So, Bob, it's the food bank. Like, come on.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's the food bank. Food bank. Yeah, exactly. This is good. This charitable.

[Alex Ramos]

And who control. Who controls that?

[Mark Gagnon]

Polymark.

[Andrew Schulz]

Holly Mark Hollywood Polymarket.

[Mark Gagnon]

There you go.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, but, yeah, so I think it's like, this is what. Everybody is already doing it, and then he's just being overt about it. Like, everybody likes to pretend like they're not trying to make themselves look the best.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Even when people are doing, like, the whole, like, hipster, like, derelict chic or whatever it was called in that movie, they're thinking that that's, like, the best version of being hot.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

And I think he's just. I think what's kind of maybe refreshing about it is he's just going, yeah, I'm just gonna try to be desirable as fuck. And all of you guys are trying to do it too. You just are lying about it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Gotcha.

[Andrew Schulz]

So I think there's something nice about authentically just going, yeah, I'm do. I'm trying to be as hot as I possibly can because being hot is what matters, not all this other bullshit.

[Mark Gagnon]

But then they'll meet up together, and then they're like, kind of battling hotness. It's almost like Zoolander, where they're just like. Yeah, looking at the camera. Who can look more?

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, they're frame logging.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Yeah, that. That shit is ridiculous. Like, that's retarded.

[Andrew Schulz]

But it's also kind of fun. Like, they're aware that it's retarded and they're leaning into it. That's how I. That's how I view it. Like, I don't think they're taking it that serious.

[Mark Gagnon]

I thought they were taking it serious.

[Andrew Schulz]

Really?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, it looks like they are.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Well, to you.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

I could see that to an old guy for sure. Definitely do that. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

To a boomer.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

But you didn't do this, like, if you were, like, at, like, a party in your 20s. There's another guy that was, like, looking tough, looking cool. Girls liked him. You wouldn't try to also look cool.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, we just try to take that bitches.

[Alex Ramos]

And how would you do that?

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, buy them drinks, get them to come to our table.

[Alex Ramos]

So you try to like. Like mog them?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, that would be mogging.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's mogging, yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yo, you know what's kind of funny? No, this is kind of funny. Al has done all this. Remember when we were at that club and Al stepped on the. On. On the side. The ledge. On the ledge. So he could be taller, Like a tall girl.

[Mark Gagnon]

20, 26.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, no, no, no. You were. You were on frame before.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

I saw a video where he's like, you got to set up vantage points in your house.

[Alex Ramos]

Yo, that is far.

[Andrew Schulz]

So trying to get vantage point. You were frame. You were looks maxing way. You were wearing lifts.

[Alex Ramos]

You.

[Andrew Schulz]

You are clavicular.

[Alex Ramos]

You're the OG M Dog.

[Mark Gagnon]

Chosen one.

[Andrew Schulz]

There's another way to say name that I wouldn't say, but I think you

[Alex Ramos]

guys could imagine it, but you bro, this is hilarious.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Guest or caller]

Watch this.

[Andrew Schulz]

What you do is you have to

[Alex Ramos]

set up what's called vantage point. So you take like something. I'm not going to put it down. So just say, this is a. A regular book. Don't do it with a Quran.

[Andrew Schulz]

Let me give you a book. Sit it with the go like.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Off the shoes. Then you go like, rest on it. And then you set up the next vantage point.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, yo, this is hilarious.

[Alex Ramos]

Just make it to the bedroom. Oh, you're good.

[Andrew Schulz]

How. This is what you were doing, but not.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but not that much.

[Andrew Schulz]

Not that much.

[Mark Gagnon]

I was trying to talk to a tall.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's what he's saying. He's like, listen, if you got lifts, you got to maintain that height when you get back to the house. You don't want to walk around the house with your sneakers. So you got to set up your vantage points.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, no. Once I got the numbers already. Now I'm a short king Ping. I got to number already. You can't. You can't give me backies now.

[Andrew Schulz]

They could not you.

[Alex Ramos]

Well, you got to save yourself because either you're so charming.

[Mark Gagnon]

So charming. Okay.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Or that they.

[Mark Gagnon]

Or. No, just stop. Just.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm letting you.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm. You're so charming, they forget about your height. Right.

[Alex Ramos]

You change the vantage point in their mind.

[Mark Gagnon]

Mind Boom.

[Andrew Schulz]

You can make an argument that your hat right now is. Is vantage points.

[Alex Ramos]

Right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Cuz I don't even know if it's in frame. There's war going on.

[Mark Gagnon]

This is what we care.

[Andrew Schulz]

You want to be A frame mog by your own hat.

[Mark Gagnon]

This is what we care about now.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, I'm just saying people died in the Middle East. Six inches. You're probably 511 with that hat on.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Respect. You made him smile.

[Andrew Schulz]

I know. Respect. Yeah, but I don't think that he knows that I was dissident.

[Mark Gagnon]

I know. I don't care. I heard five' eleven. Yeah, you already know. Accident is fair enough.

[Andrew Schulz]

So you are the ultimate looks maxer. You could make an argument that the nails play a part of this, the outfits, everything.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but I just do what I like.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's right. You say you just do what you like. He would say, I just do. It gets bitches. And that's. I think, what wins is. Cause we know that you're doing this for male attention,

[Alex Ramos]

but it's an interesting twist.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I'm looking at it. Well, I know you're not doing female attention. You have a wife.

[Mark Gagnon]

Obviously.

[Andrew Schulz]

You don't care what women have to say at all. Definitely not.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I know. Guys just love my nails.

[Andrew Schulz]

You guys talk about it all the time.

[Alex Ramos]

We love it.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's tons of attention.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, we love your attention. This is my icebreaker. I come through the nails, you call me. I'm fucking you, man.

[Alex Ramos]

Exactly. I like it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I like it.

[Mark Gagnon]

We try, guys.

[Alex Ramos]

What do you think about everything going on in the Middle East? Man, I just hope. I wonder what his take would be.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm sure he'll tell us.

[Alex Ramos]

Like, you feel like if Khomeini was like, looks maxing, like, do you think this wouldn't happen to him?

[Andrew Schulz]

Can you bring up that Khomeini picture? Oh, yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

That's just wild. You know, you actually know what happened. He, the leader of Iran got taken out.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Are you up to date with all this stuff?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I was listening to that Asian nigga online. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And what.

[Guest or caller]

What's your.

[Alex Ramos]

What's your take?

[Andrew Schulz]

What was your take?

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, he was breaking it down. It's all about water, guys.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, really?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. It's all about the water.

[Andrew Schulz]

Really?

[Alex Ramos]

What was he doing with the water?

[Andrew Schulz]

How familiar were. Were you with Khome?

[Mark Gagnon]

Stop it.

[Andrew Schulz]

What?

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, I'm. Stop it. That's Letterman. I know the Letterman.

[Andrew Schulz]

It took him like four, like, to find out how long.

[Mark Gagnon]

That would have been good if I fell for that.

[Andrew Schulz]

That would have been fun. No, I didn't.

[Mark Gagnon]

I wasn't paying attention.

[Andrew Schulz]

I don't think you clocked it the first time. I think it was maybe the third

[Mark Gagnon]

or fourth, but that's good.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right, so break down what's happening at Ronto. So tell us.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm not breaking it down.

[Andrew Schulz]

Just break it down from far rock. Just break it down from far Rock. Like how? Like give us the far rock breakdown.

[Mark Gagnon]

You got Arab and jewelry, and then Jew niggas need the white boys help. So we the boys. We come in. You know you're white.

[Andrew Schulz]

Nah, Y' all okay. Got it.

[Mark Gagnon]

We out of this. Like, y' all do y' all thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

And so that's it. We at war now.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, that was a good breakdown.

[Mark Gagnon]

We had war now.

[Andrew Schulz]

That was a good breakdown. And then how long is the war gonna last? Like, what are the plans for war? What are we gonna do? How do we get out on the ground?

[Guest or caller]

Huh?

[Mark Gagnon]

If we put boots on the ground.

[Alex Ramos]

If, like, if we. Tim's on the ground, like, what's going to be.

[Mark Gagnon]

We got him.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

We got to. We can't win this. As in a full aerial attack.

[Andrew Schulz]

We can't.

[Mark Gagnon]

We can't.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why not? Why is that?

[Mark Gagnon]

Because Asian said so.

[Andrew Schulz]

You're referring to Professor Zhang?

[Mark Gagnon]

Is that you're first history teacher I ever like?

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

And then what did. Why did he say we can't win from an aerial tag?

[Mark Gagnon]

There's too many of them. And they have.

[Andrew Schulz]

He's describing the plot of.

[Alex Ramos]

He thinks this is 300.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why have we not done this with every issue that happens? Listen. Okay, go, go. He's getting comfy.

[Mark Gagnon]

Sunday was enlightening.

[Andrew Schulz]

Vantage backs right now. Vantage backs right now.

[Mark Gagnon]

Let me enlighten y'. All.

[Alex Ramos]

Exactly.

[Mark Gagnon]

So it's a religious thing, and they are going to fight to the end of time. And they got all the guns, and the people don't have any guns.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay?

[Mark Gagnon]

So we got to go boots on the ground to take them out to have to really have regime change, because they're going to keep fighting until one side is wiped out.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got it?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep.

[Andrew Schulz]

Now, why would boots on the ground stop that?

[Mark Gagnon]

That's the only way we can attack hand to hand combat.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got it?

[Mark Gagnon]

Cause we can't just keep bombing, especially if they hide amongst the civilians. Like, we're not just gonna keep bombing everybody, right? Then we'll look like Israel and lose all support.

[Alex Ramos]

Ah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Cause we can't take out any of the civilians, obviously.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, let me Asian Nagoya real quick.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, God. So let me break it down.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

So it's war. Damn.

[Andrew Schulz]

Come On. You can't even get me a pendant.

[Mark Gagnon]

We're expanding.

[Andrew Schulz]

Come on. I would have been.

[Alex Ramos]

That's racist. Come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's all good. Keep the board white, broken down to these guys. And then.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, fuck.

[Mark Gagnon]

Something with the water.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened with the water?

[Mark Gagnon]

All the Middle East.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

They use more water then they have, like, access to. Right. Like fresh water and all that.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got it. It's a desert.

[Mark Gagnon]

And they convert salt water to fresh water.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yep.

[Mark Gagnon]

And so if we bomb all of these.

[Andrew Schulz]

Desalination.

[Mark Gagnon]

There you go. If we bomb them. Yep.

[Andrew Schulz]

Now they'll be destroyed.

[Mark Gagnon]

Destabilizes the whole fucking area.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, they'll be hella thirsty.

[Andrew Schulz]

They'll be so thirsty, they can't fight.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

And the straight of Harmony, mad oil leaves. And all of their food comes in. So if they close that, all of the Middle east is gonna be very hungry and thirsty. Yes. And if they close that, China, India, a bunch of niggas, they don't get any of their oil. So now we're hurting them.

[Andrew Schulz]

So the whole world is gonna hurt.

[Mark Gagnon]

Whole world's gonna hurt.

[Andrew Schulz]

And eventually, with enough pressure, the whole world decides to what?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know. I ain't finished the video.

[Andrew Schulz]

I. I ain't got to the end yet.

[Alex Ramos]

You were spitting this.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Respect. Got that, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

That was fire. Yeah. They will be hungry and thirsty, and that is not good. Especially during Ramadan.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, maybe that's the time that they're most accustomed to it. Maybe we plan this in the wrong time.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh.

[Andrew Schulz]

If the concern is hunger and thirst, like, this is the month with they. They are ready for that.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Andrew Schulz]

So they have an advantage over us. This is their hungry, thirsty month. So they're like, all right, run it. Let's go. We were already planning on not drinking a lot of water. We're already planning on not eating.

[Mark Gagnon]

Got a good point.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, it's a good point. So maybe they're ready. See, no one even clocked that. Don't even clock that. They were all like, oh, when should we do it? And Trump was like, ramadan. That was Trump's 5D check. Ramadan time. They'll be hungry, thirsty.

[Andrew Schulz]

We can stretch it out.

[Mark Gagnon]

All right.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Possible solution.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. Oh.

[Mark Gagnon]

Everyone keeps wondering, what does Israel do for America? It's a question that keeps coming up. It came up on my show mornings. People are wondering, what does Israel do for America? America, we're swinging our dicks around and just like, yo, Greenland, you're us now. Yo, Venezuela, we'll take your oil. Why don't we take Israel?

[Alex Ramos]

Ooh. 51st state date.

[Mark Gagnon]

Boom.

[Alex Ramos]

Ooh.

[Mark Gagnon]

Move a bunch of Americans there.

[Alex Ramos]

Don't reach Americans.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, whichever ones want to go, you know, whichever ones. Where to go.

[Alex Ramos]

Open invite.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Whoever's interested.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, but now at least we get something and we have a reason why we need to defend them. Cuz they're us now.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got it. Because whatever they got is ours.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's an interesting take Puerto Rico.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Maybe they're not a state, but they're a territory.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

So now we have access to whatever they do.

[Mark Gagnon]

Boom.

[Andrew Schulz]

And we're incentivized to defend them.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly. With all of our military we're doing this already. It feels disproportionate with nothing.

[Andrew Schulz]

I hear what you're saying. It's like we're spending all this money. All this money is taxpayers ultimately going to have to pay or they're going to print a bunch of money and then the savings that we have just gets devalued.

[Alex Ramos]

Dude. Yep.

[Andrew Schulz]

And we don't really know what we get out of Iran.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. So poke holes in that.

[Alex Ramos]

But I think. I think that's fire. I think we make them. I think we make them 51st state or territory. I think we set up, start them

[Andrew Schulz]

out as a territory. I don't know if you jump in a state. Just. It's like a trial period. It's like a green card. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

That could be good. Yeah, we're good. And then we put. I mean, who would run it? I guess do we keep Bibi or do we get a like an American governor or something? Some Marjorie Taylor Green, something like that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Get that Kushner. He's over there a lot.

[Andrew Schulz]

Tucker. Maybe Tucker.

[Alex Ramos]

We could get Tucker to do it.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't think they feeling Tucker right

[Alex Ramos]

now, but maybe that's what you need sometimes, you know, little push, a little push back.

[Andrew Schulz]

You want Candace? Little Candace.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, I feel like shake up real quick.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'll convert to Islam before they let be the prime minister during this. Real.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Did you guys watch Candace's Charlie Kirk or what is it called?

[Alex Ramos]

The bride of Charlie?

[Andrew Schulz]

The Bride of Charlie.

[Mark Gagnon]

The Bride of Charlie. That's.

[Andrew Schulz]

You haven't watch this.

[Mark Gagnon]

I haven't.

[Andrew Schulz]

Dude.

[Alex Ramos]

Canis is just on one. Dude.

[Mark Gagnon]

Really?

[Alex Ramos]

She just spins. She just spins.

[Mark Gagnon]

She's going a little crazy, right? Like she's a little.

[Alex Ramos]

I guess. Time will tell, bro. Time will tell.

[Andrew Schulz]

She's crazy. What if she's right?

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

What if she's right.

[Alex Ramos]

Could the conspiracy theorist of today is the prophet of tomorrow.

[Andrew Schulz]

They probably called Professor Jang crazy. Is she probably called Professor Chang crazy now? He just called it perfectly.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's that nigga.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, but they called him crazy.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, he's that nigga. They called him crazy.

[Andrew Schulz]

Didn't they call him crazy? They were like. He called. What was his big call? He said Trump was gonna win the election, that we were gonna invade Iran.

[Mark Gagnon]

And, bro, people upset at him.

[Andrew Schulz]

Maybe they're like, what the fuck do you know?

[Alex Ramos]

Do you remember on this podcast I was quoting him being like, oh, he. Yeah, we're going to invade Iran, boots on the ground. And we have a clip of it. I should pull it up. And everyone in the P.O. kind of like, shut up.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, this is good. I'm listening.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm listening.

[Alex Ramos]

But still, we were just

[Andrew Schulz]

holding on.

[Alex Ramos]

I am technically listening. I can't block you out. But no, it was. We brought it up and people were kind. Yeah, I don't think so. Maybe. We'll see. But he predicted that in 2024, and he said that J.D. vance would be vice president back in 2024. Technically, he said Nikki Haley first. If it's not Nikki Haley, it'll be.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay, here's a question. They got to sell the war to America because nobody in America wants this war outside of the Persians, right? And I understand the Persians are fired up. They're fired up. I don't blame them, right? They're talking to their family back there, and they're just like, jesus Christ. They got to suffer through this horrible regime, and we're in Beverly Hills and we're driving G wagons and life is sick. So I get that. But the rest of the people in America can't even point out Iran on a map. Like, the average person. Do you think knows where the Iron Uranus?

[Alex Ramos]

Probably not.

[Andrew Schulz]

No. Not at all.

[Mark Gagnon]

Watch the Asian.

[Guest or caller]

You'll learn.

[Andrew Schulz]

Pull up a map. Let's do it. Okay, so how do. How does the government propagandize us into a war? Imagine this was before, like, you know, the democratization of information where, like, the government could just tell us what to think and we just kind of believed it. How do they get us into this one?

[Alex Ramos]

Well, what is this? The nuke strategy is a classic, but, I mean, that one's tried and true. Yeah, everyone loves the nuke strategy. They have nukes.

[Andrew Schulz]

They have nukes.

[Alex Ramos]

They're about to have nukes.

[Andrew Schulz]

They're about to have them any minute now. Any minute.

[Mark Gagnon]

Even though we just destroyed it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, but they're quick again.

[Alex Ramos]

They're so fast. These Persians, they put. They built a nuke out of 4G wagons. They put it together. They built another nuke.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay. Yeah. So we had to. We had to.

[Mark Gagnon]

So they. They're trying that. I don't think that's working, but.

[Andrew Schulz]

So the Americans aren't really concerned about the Iranian nuke threat. So how else. Why else do we need to go in there?

[Alex Ramos]

Radical Islam.

[Andrew Schulz]

Radical Islam.

[Alex Ramos]

They're. They're running around. They're trying to. They're trying to shoot. They hate us.

[Andrew Schulz]

How about this one? Yeah.

[Guest or caller]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

How about this one?

[Mark Gagnon]

Iran has the largest population of Shia.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

That makes a huge difference.

[Andrew Schulz]

That is a massive difference. That is true.

[Alex Ramos]

Keep going.

[Andrew Schulz]

That is true.

[Mark Gagnon]

Trying to drop knowledge on y'. All.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, you were. You were dropping knowledge. It was very good.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right. We have to sell the American public on this war. Okay, so what is our sale? What is our pitch? How do we get unanimous American support?

[Mark Gagnon]

Just bend over for BB like Trump is doing.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right, right, right, right. But that's not working on America.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, gays will love it.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's what's happening. I don't even know if gays support that. Like, there's way better dick out there.

[Alex Ramos]

We're trying to propagandize.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. We're trying to. Propaganda. We're not saying what's actually happening. We're trying to say, like, how do you sell the war? How about this? Okay? What if they go, hey, American people, the only white super bowl halftime show just happens to be in Iran.

[Alex Ramos]

Fire.

[Andrew Schulz]

We need to liberate it.

[Mark Gagnon]

That could work.

[Alex Ramos]

That could work. Think about that.

[Andrew Schulz]

Do you think people all of a sudden are like, whoa, yeah, yeah, we've been wanting this for the last seven years.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

We gotta go get it.

[Alex Ramos]

They got. They got Luke Bryant over there.

[Andrew Schulz]

Luke Bryant, Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

We gotta get him back.

[Andrew Schulz]

Is captured. He's in a bunker where they're also making nukes. But that's not the big deal. He's there making the greatest music he's ever made. And he will not be released.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Until the Iranian people are free.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes. That might work.

[Mark Gagnon]

That works on y', all, y'.

[Andrew Schulz]

All.

[Alex Ramos]

That would work a little. Imagine they said, oh, Jay Z's in the bunker.

[Mark Gagnon]

Gotta stay.

[Alex Ramos]

Iran got Jay Z. Iran has Jay Z.

[Mark Gagnon]

We're not putting boots on the ground for Jay Z, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

I told him he lived a long life. He took dinner with Jay Z and

[Andrew Schulz]

it was a trap.

[Alex Ramos]

It was a ruse.

[Andrew Schulz]

He said. He said dinner, and he got Jay

[Alex Ramos]

Z have a couple?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And they got him.

[Andrew Schulz]

You wouldn't do it.

[Mark Gagnon]

No boots on the ground.

[Andrew Schulz]

No boots on the ground for Jay JC who would you put boots on the ground for?

[Alex Ramos]

Jay Z?

[Mark Gagnon]

My mom. That's it. All right. My sister. She can go.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right, ready?

[Mark Gagnon]

I love you, sis.

[Guest or caller]

I'm joking.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm joking. Ayatollah, they captured Jay Z. Nas, he don't care.

[Mark Gagnon]

He don't know anymore.

[Alex Ramos]

Big Daddy K and. And your girl in a crazy, very calculated, pointed, personal attack.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay. To get you to support them and disseminate this information through AM in the morning.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Sometime my girl got cover up a little.

[Andrew Schulz]

Hello. Hello?

[Mark Gagnon]

Sharia might not be.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay. All right, so jokes. All right, so there's nothing that could get you to support it?

[Mark Gagnon]

No, absolutely not.

[Andrew Schulz]

Mark, what about you? Well, not you, but, like, how would you propagandize the American people? I don't know. Is this the first war of American history where they haven't even bothered to propagandize?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, they didn't even sell us on it. Well, they try to, but it's like, it's not working. And they're just like, fuck it, we doing it again.

[Andrew Schulz]

We need it. Yeah, yeah, it's for our safety. And then, I mean, they ran a

[Alex Ramos]

couple things, which, again, predicted by Professor Zhang in Trump's speech, where he was basically like, you say that you're a big hero that's going to liberate the people of Iran, which, I mean, if they're able to get rid of the regime and put in, like, a much more democratic regime, technically. True. But then he said, it's not our

[Mark Gagnon]

responsibility for that, yo.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, fair. Good point. But that's what he said. Trump said like, oh, I'm gonna save the people. We're gonna stop terror, we're gonna stop the funding of terror. Da, da. He put a bunch of reasons out.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Alex Ramos]

And that was, like, Trump's kind of justification. Yeah, but I mean, do you hate this guy? This guy right here?

[Mark Gagnon]

Stop trying. Like, usually it will work.

[Andrew Schulz]

You Persian the mom? A little bit. It was close.

[Alex Ramos]

It was close.

[Mark Gagnon]

Fuck, I like Letterman too much.

[Andrew Schulz]

I really don't think there's anything that gets America to support the war.

[Mark Gagnon]

Of course. We've seen fucking Iraq and Afghanistan. We don't want this shit again.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I just don't think. I don't know if there's a single thing that you could get now, if they are able to pull it off in a short amount of time, like, let's say in Two weeks they're able to do it and the people get liberated and there's a new regime. And there. I don't know if people, like, look at it unfavorably, but in no way are they going to go, yes, we should continue to do this and we should continue to support it. Americans don't give a fuck. Americans can't fucking care. Like, why they don't care about what's

[Mark Gagnon]

happening in Iran, but they're trying to control speech already. So I put up a clip about the war. Yeah, Instagram is fine. On TikTok. It got taken down.

[Andrew Schulz]

Did you say you were just being silly or did you try to do that?

[Mark Gagnon]

I didn't say that. But still, it wasn't even. I don't think anything like, inflammatory really was set. Just, like, disagreeing with the war like this. Let's stop another stupid war. And they took it down immediately on TikTok and not Instagram.

[Andrew Schulz]

I heard they're doing that with Epstein stuff too.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, like that's. They trying already.

[Andrew Schulz]

Interesting, Interesting.

[Alex Ramos]

It's crazy that they just haven't given any. They haven't lied at all.

[Andrew Schulz]

Hey, we want Greenland. Hey, we want the oil in Venezuela. I wonder if they realize they just can't lie anymore. I wonder if there's just so many people that have a voice right now that even if they try to lie, it will be debunked immediately.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, the media's just too open.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

It's just all, like, out there and

[Guest or caller]

no one trusts the government anymore.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Guest or caller]

There's no, like, no one defending it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. There is also this, like, if they

[Alex Ramos]

say they're going for oil, you're almost so skeptical. You're like, they might be going to liberate them and bring democracy. You know what I mean? Like, it's almost working together.

[Andrew Schulz]

Reverse on it.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm like, damn, they're really doing it.

[Mark Gagnon]

I still want to know, is there any downside if we just say, yo, we're taking Israel?

[Andrew Schulz]

I mean.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

No. What is there downside?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, like, who would be against. Against it?

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, probably is real.

[Mark Gagnon]

Why we, like, if we work as close as we do with them, it's like, you could still be a people. Do your thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know?

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you familiar at all with them? Are you familiar at all with them and, like, the history of the region and what explicitly they want their thing?

[Mark Gagnon]

It's still. We'll still call it Israel. It'll still be a Jewish land.

[Andrew Schulz]

But it's just, dude, I was back

[Alex Ramos]

in Daddy like in Germany, he's like, all right, so we put them all in one place.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, ghetto.

[Alex Ramos]

No, no, no. We call it Israel. Oh. We put up walls and they're just kind of all there.

[Andrew Schulz]

Wow. We've tried this. It's called bokeh and it works really well. People really enjoy it. So they have the American version of it. But there's some that are like, ah, we don't want that. We want our thing over there with, you know, the religious sites and all that of stuff.

[Alex Ramos]

I think they probably want a right to self determination.

[Mark Gagnon]

What if we pulled out all of our support? Would they still want that?

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, I don't like our support exist.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's what I'm saying. What if our support comes with, hey, you're us now.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Then I think they would be on board.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, I, I don't know if they

[Mark Gagnon]

would have a choice board. You don't think so? Well, that's not.

[Guest or caller]

They don't get a choice on that.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, they would just have to.

[Alex Ramos]

Well, they also got nukes, so they might.

[Andrew Schulz]

But the thing I would say we're good, do it. But the thing I would say is like, well, what do they got that we want this. The thing I don't understand with the Iran stuff for us is like, it's like the Venezuelan Greenland was at least transactional with like a. A resource.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like we don't know what a rare earth is, but at least you could be like, hey, we need that for our phones. And then we be like, I guess we need it for our phones. Like, you know, like it seems like there's something important up there.

[Alex Ramos]

Rare earth is such a funny son. What even is that?

[Andrew Schulz]

What is it? I asked a girl at the show like, do you know what a rare earth is? She's like a rare earth mineral. I go, don't just add a another word. And then we're all just as confused.

[Mark Gagnon]

We're all guessing. It's. We don't know, mix. It makes the batteries and it makes the chips and that's what everybody cares about.

[Alex Ramos]

Right.

[Andrew Schulz]

And we don't know what a chip is. I don't know what Nvidia is. None of us know what Nvidia is. It's the most important company in the world. I don't know. Is it in my phone? All they do is, they say it's in your phone and you go, I need that. Don't take it. Take Greenland. Save Taiwan. I just can't fathom. We can't move the, whatever the, the thing That I don't understand about Iran is like, what do we get? Like, let's say we liberate the people, which is incredibly benevolent. Act. Right. To free the people from a horrible regime.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's great. I don't see America or any country for that matter, having this, like, benevolent history where we're just out there trying to liberate people.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right.

[Alex Ramos]

Come on. Well, we do it.

[Andrew Schulz]

We do it.

[Alex Ramos]

Afghanistan.

[Andrew Schulz]

You're right.

[Alex Ramos]

Iraq. We spent, what, Honduras.

[Andrew Schulz]

$20 trillion on Iraq to liberate them from the Taliban. Just to give them back to the Taliban.

[Alex Ramos]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

What a mission that was.

[Alex Ramos]

Vietnam. Forgot that one.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's right.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

What did we do for them now? They just got more mopeds, that's all. The only thing that changed Vietnam is more mopeds. Okay, so we have this situation with. I just spit right on your forehead.

[Mark Gagnon]

So. Dude.

[Andrew Schulz]

And your forehead so hard it didn't even absorb. It bounced off. I just did it again. Sorry.

[Mark Gagnon]

This is like a hazing ritual. You.

[Alex Ramos]

What's going on right now?

[Andrew Schulz]

So I guess what I'm. It's like they haven't even told us what the thing is in the air. Right. Like, do. Do we go in and now we have a deal with Iran and we get half of the oil? Do we get to control where the oil goes? Like, they're. They haven't even disclosed what this. What the benefit is to us at all. All in this situation.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. I wonder if they just said it outright, if people would be like, I mean. I mean, they kind of have. But if they. If Trump was just straight up, like, we need the oil, that we want to control the oil. We need to control the petrodollar. We don't want China to get it. We're getting rid of these people and we're going to control the straight Hormuz. Then it's like, honestly.

[Andrew Schulz]

Honestly, I. I think it would be more support than it is now.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

I don't think it would be unanimous US Support, but it would be more support than this, like, existential nuclear threat, which I just don't think work on Americans anymore. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

I just don't get why more people aren't out. I like outrage. This is the crazy thing about Americans, man.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, we are. Everybody is. But, like, the kind of wild things about Americans is like, there'll be countries like that go, death to America.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right. Like, Iran is like, death to America. And they're actively trying to make a nuclear weapon. And Americans are still like, man, you don't hate Us like that. Like, you don't really hate us, bro. Like, you don't really. Like, I don't even think I hate us. Like, guy, like, the dude is like, we.

[Alex Ramos]

Death to America.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm like, you don't feel that way, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

It's how most dudes feel about lesbians. You know what I mean? Like, I hate men. You're like, come on, come on.

[Andrew Schulz]

You haven't met me.

[Alex Ramos]

You haven't even met your boy.

[Andrew Schulz]

The more solid ones, you're like, I

[Alex Ramos]

believe you believe that.

[Andrew Schulz]

But the hot ones, you're like, who hurt you, man? That is the. That is the American arrogance. Like, we don't think. Why would you want to bomb. What you going to watch on tv? Like, what are you going to watch? Like, what is. What is news going to be without us shaking up and making things interesting every day for you? You ever go to another country and they just follow American news?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

We gotta tax them for that shit. Like, we need to get a little. The YouTube rights. If you're just covering us all day on your news, that is crazy.

[Alex Ramos]

American news is syndicated everywhere.

[Andrew Schulz]

So I had Australian news companies reaching out for a comment on some American. And I'm like, why?

[Guest or caller]

What.

[Andrew Schulz]

What is going on? Ask me about Street Fighter. Why were you asking about how I feel about America?

[Mark Gagnon]

Did you do it? Did you do it? No, I didn't do that shit.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, I need my. I need my. I need my petrol dollar, bro. No, but, like, yeah, I just. I just think it's like, there has to be. I guess Americans, we don't fear it. And that's a good thing. You know, it's been a long time since there's been this major attack on American soil. Like, Obviously we had 9 11, but even 9 11, I think most Americans, like, we might have had some involvement in that.

[Alex Ramos]

Well, now.

[Andrew Schulz]

Now we know. So now, yes, but now you can't even evoke that. But you know what I mean? Like, you can't even evoke that to get us worried about it happening again because we're more worried about our own government doing it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep, yep.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right. So I. I think it's like, you got to be super honest. And if the honest strategy is. I mean, look, the honest strategy, what the Internet thinks is like, hey, this is really beneficial for Israel. They seem like the biggest beneficiary, which it is. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

But I think there's probably other things, if I had to guess.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, that's.

[Alex Ramos]

That's.

[Andrew Schulz]

I think what you were saying about, like, const. Controlling the Strait of War moves and controlling oil exports from Iran and being able to this idea that we're going to, like, cripple China by having all the oil. It's like, okay, well then how are we going to get fucking video games? Like, how are we going to get jeans? How are we going to get shirt? Like, we, China and America are so dependent on one another for things that we actually can't cripple them without crippling ourselves.

[Mark Gagnon]

But it's a game of chicken.

[Alex Ramos]

That's the trade war.

[Mark Gagnon]

Willing to suffer a little bit.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's what we're doing now. Trade war, exactly. But, like, it allows us to give some leverage. I think that's what happens. If we were to go to, like, a real hot war with China and we have control of this oil that we let China get freely, all of a sudden, we could potentially restrict that and there is, like a leverage play there.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, I think China said something earlier this year in a negotiation with Trump. I mean, this is like one article that I read, so I don't know how. What exactly is going on, but they basically were like, in a negotiation with some trade thing, and they were basically like, we're going to give you no rare earths. And America was like, what? And so the average person was kind of just like a little like, blip in an article. Yeah, but apparently, according to, like, this one economist, the. That is basically like a nuclear option for trade. Like, hey, we're going to cut you off from rare earths. Is basically just like, you guys are done and it's war. And it was a massive thing. And then they were able to, like, kind of backpedal and, like, get to an agreement. Yeah, but the fact that they pulled that to the American basically, like envoys trying to do the trade deal, they were like, oh, so it's like that. That's how you feel. And so that was seen as like an escalating, an escalating move in the negotiation.

[Mark Gagnon]

It makes sense. And so we got to control the oil.

[Alex Ramos]

So all that to say it's like, all right, now it's like time to. Again, this is. I don't like the conflict. Like, I don't think we need to be in, like, another Middle East. But I'm just trying. I'm trying to understand the rationale. And there's other allies in the region that kind of want it. You know, Saudi Arabia, benchmark Saudi be.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right. Because what, the Houthis are sponsored by Iran.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. They get like, to get rid of this terror Proxy, they get more control over oil. Like they. Yeah, you know, there's advantages. And it seems like it hurts China.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And if hurting China helps us, it stops a multi front war.

[Andrew Schulz]

I wonder, I wonder if Americans can't say it because then it looks like a blatant attack on China. So like America, like the powers that be, like the administration can't basically say, okay, like this is the strategic reason why we're doing this. They can say that why they're doing it for Greenland. They're like, hey, we need these resources because it goes in your phone or whatever. They can save Venezuela for oil.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

But they can't be like, hey, we need to control the oil exports here because China gets 20% of their oil from there and if it ever push comes to shove, we need to be able to like kind of siphon that off. Yeah, that seems like an actual. Right.

[Alex Ramos]

It's like a declaration and like you need some plausible deniability.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yes. So now they're stuck in between this rock and hard place where they cannot give us any reason why it benefits us without pissing off China or making that declaration generation. And then the only reason it looks like we're in there is just because Israel needs it. Yeah, right. And then naturally Americans are furious about it. Right. Because we're like, how the fuck does this benefit me? I can't afford to pay for college, I can't buy a home, I can't pay for health insurance. And we're going to spend billions of dollars on a war in a country I can't even point out a map. How is this beneficial to me?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah, that's how they feel already. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

As they should.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, the. What if the other GCC see countries like get upset at America? Like, yo, why you keep deflecting all these bombs from hitting Israel but you keep letting us get touched?

[Alex Ramos]

I mean that's the, that's the what they're going to try to do, basically.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like that's the Iranian strategy, you're saying?

[Mark Gagnon]

That's what I'm thinking.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Put enough pressure on the region, horizontal

[Alex Ramos]

escalation, you just put all the allies under pressure to where they just say, hey, let's get a ceasefire, let's get a deal going, let's do something. Because it is kind of up Iran to win. They just need to retire, maintain power.

[Andrew Schulz]

Exactly. The W isn't maintaining their military might, it's just maintaining power. The regime stays in place.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

And we stated the goal, which was we want regime change. So if we don't get it. We lost.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

And how would we get it besides boots on the ground? Like, isn't there no way we.

[Andrew Schulz]

This is what. This is.

[Mark Gagnon]

What's the.

[Andrew Schulz]

I think what they're hoping is that, like, the people revolt again with no guns. Well, not even no guns. If I'm the people, it's like, I'm not in the streets while you bomb in.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

You know what I mean? And if you say you're gonna not bomb, then you're basically telling Iranian officials that, hey, coast is going to be clear for a little while, so they can do whatever they need to do. So it's a very peculiar situation.

[Mark Gagnon]

I just can't see a scenario where the regime is just like, oh, it's fine. You guys have it. Like, in what scenario would they give it up?

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, enough of them just keep getting merc to where they. Where people go, okay, if every time we meet up, all the officials get blown the fuck up, eventually officials start going, well, I don't want to be an official anymore. I don't want to get blown the fuck up.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, you think that's okay?

[Alex Ramos]

I don't know if this is true.

[Andrew Schulz]

Go.

[Alex Ramos]

Apparently Trump said this. I just saw it on a tweet. So it might be bullshit, but regardless, it's so funny. They're like a reporter's like, so Trump who's going to take over control of Iran? And Trump's like, I don't know, I guess the position's open. So look at me making jobs in Iran too. Like, I don't know if that's true. That's just hilarious.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, I don't like that guy.

[Andrew Schulz]

Apparently again, this could be. But apparently like the person they had in mind for next in command.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, they murked them.

[Andrew Schulz]

They also killed.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, yeah, but I think that's like again, I don't know, there's just one article that I read but it seems like it's the same thing with Venezuela. It's like, you take out Maduro, who gets. Who takes over for Maduro. It's not the oppositional person that technically won the election. I forgot her name. It was Maduro. The person that took over was Maduro's vp, right? Darcy Rodriguez.

[Andrew Schulz]

D' Arcy Rodriguez, yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And so she's within the administration. She technically has like the line of secession for Maduro. And so she's legitimate to the people of enlightenment Venezuela. And so.

[Andrew Schulz]

And she's willing to be amiable to.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. And so basically that's a little different because it's like they're just like, hey, let me just do what's best for me and the people. Instead of, you have this regime who doesn't really care about the people. And it just like, yo, this is a war of ideology and we're just going to fight it right. Till we all die to the end. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Which is the problem with going to war in the Middle east, right. Is that they're just willing to take it to the end.

[Mark Gagnon]

Other places, it's like, why? Let's not do this?

[Andrew Schulz]

Because they don't have regulators own, they don't have carnival, they don't have fun. Latin American countries enjoy life. They're like, I want to party, I want to shake ass, I want to put a headdress on and I want to rock in the streets and I want to make out with people. I enjoy this. Right.

[Mark Gagnon]

That works in our fudges. How much fun?

[Andrew Schulz]

Like, you see us go in, right? Like, you're like, this is awesome.

[Mark Gagnon]

He was like Bill Clinton on the stand just now.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, think about it, think about it. It's like all the people that come here from the Latin culture countries are dreaming of the day when the Latin countries go back to prominence so they can go back there and party and be with their family, enjoy. Like, the Cubans aren't going. I'm done with Cuba. They're like, I can't wait till Cuba is back. They have this love and connectivity where, you know, I think there's a lot of people that leave their countries in these, like, places and they're like, I'm good to not be there, because that sucked.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

But the Persians here seem like they can't wait to go back because there

[Andrew Schulz]

was a time that they maybe remember where it was more liberated and they could, you know, thrive and.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, I mean, the regime's obviously repressive. Like, that much is true. So they're like, yeah, we can get rid of them and Go back and have free trade and democratize. And whether it's the Shah or just another pro American person, it's better than what we have. So, like, I get their perspective, but I don't know, it's. I think the idea is like, okay, if you can like, decapitate is what they call a strategy. Like these decapitation strikes where you take out the head and then you hope that the people revolt and that you're basically banking on enough people revolting. And they also take out, like, strategic locations where there was a space spot that was doing all of like the protest suppression within Iran. So anytime there'd be a protest, they would basically send out this, like, police force that would squash it. Yeah. And they took out the headquarters of that. So they're basically like, okay, now we can create the environment for this to happen. Now, is it for, like, humanitarian reasons? Probably not. Like, I don't think America really gives a. I think America is just thinking, like, how do we get these people to do what we want? And even if that's a civil war. War, sure. If it's like a rump state, whatever, is it likely that's going to happen?

[Mark Gagnon]

What's a rump state?

[Alex Ramos]

Basically just like a chaos, like a failed nation without any real later and like just, you know, a remnant of whatever it was before.

[Mark Gagnon]

Got it.

[Alex Ramos]

So, like, I don't think America really cares, unfortunately.

[Mark Gagnon]

That sucks, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

So that's the thing. And then the concern is like, oh, is the. Is the solution going to be, you know, the cure is going to be worse than the disease? So, like, you take out this guy, is the next thing going to be worse? Is every bomb you drop also fits. Filled with hate for America and radicalization and creating a nation of people that want to just fight you forever?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. And we've seen from history what it's probably going to end up.

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, that's what they say that, like, you know, once you start dropping bombs on a nation, they unify.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's very rare that you drop bombs on a nation. They go, thank you.

[Alex Ramos]

Right.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like, yes, they're probably angry at this oppressive leadership. And then all of a sudden you see this, like a school of like, girls that gets destroyed. Destroyed. And then you start going, whoa, what the is going on here? I thought you were attacking military targets,

[Alex Ramos]

which in fairness, I heard. I don't know if this has been confirmed, but that was a misfire.

[Andrew Schulz]

When the war starts, first casualties, 100%. Yes.

[Alex Ramos]

But I've just heard people say, again, I have no of Course.

[Andrew Schulz]

And they say, oh, it wasn't. It wasn't actually us. It was Iran that did it.

[Mark Gagnon]

They were like a misfire.

[Alex Ramos]

That's the move.

[Mark Gagnon]

Show a picture of like. Oh, you just happened to get a picture and you.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, that's the move. Anytime someone says something, you just say the opposite.

[Andrew Schulz]

Three of our planes went down. They're like, we did it. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Actually, it was us that took.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, we took our own planes down. Oopsie daisy.

[Alex Ramos]

You see, the pilots just posted up like, it's insane.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Multiple pilots just, like, standing there with, like, the parachutes just like.

[Andrew Schulz]

And guys in their, like, gowns. Like, they didn't even get military garbed up. Like, I thought they had, like, a military garb. But the dudes that went out to go get the pilot.

[Guest or caller]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

That ejected.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

They were in the full ghost. They were in the Pac man ghost, like, running, like, are you okay? Thank you for helping us. Or whatever. But, like, you got to give them some pants and some boots.

[Alex Ramos]

I assume they were just regular town folk.

[Andrew Schulz]

Word.

[Alex Ramos]

That's what I thought.

[Mark Gagnon]

I thought it was just regular old people go down. You just.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, probably.

[Guest or caller]

There's video inside a truck where they're watching a guy come down in the parachute and they're filming it and.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, wow.

[Guest or caller]

Truck towards where he's gonna fall.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I need to see the video like, 20 seconds before where they find it's a woman. And they're like, holy. Like, they let chicks fly these planes. What the Is going on?

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, they're gonna tell their kids 20 years from now. They'd be like, no, like, no, I saw it.

[Andrew Schulz]

The woman flying Joan of Arc was in the blank.

[Alex Ramos]

I mean, yeah, they're like, pulling up. He's like, no, I'm good. Good.

[Andrew Schulz]

This is him explaining he's an American. Cuz they don't know at that point.

[Alex Ramos]

American.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

That must be scary.

[Guest or caller]

Do they have a weapon on them?

[Alex Ramos]

I think they got, like some sticks, like a pole or something.

[Guest or caller]

Fly concealed, carry, like.

[Andrew Schulz]

I mean, that's.

[Alex Ramos]

I don't know. How do you get it through security and stupid. That's a double.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's a double. That's a double.

[Alex Ramos]

I'll take.

[Guest or caller]

All right. Fly out.

[Andrew Schulz]

I wonder if they do like, they give him a little like 9 mm and like,

[Mark Gagnon]

jump out.

[Guest or caller]

You gotta think, like, you gotta give them something.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. I wonder, can we get a Google on that? Fighter pilots do carry personal firearms, but generally only when they're flying over hostile territory. Bang.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, I mean, I guess. Yeah. You don't even want to bring that out when you.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, no, I'm not saying bring it

[Andrew Schulz]

out in the air, bro. If you land hand if you got

[Alex Ramos]

a multi million dollar fighter jet and you have got to use this thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, you're, you're in trouble. Game over.

[Alex Ramos]

Imagine I would pull the second I eject. The second I eject I got my

[Andrew Schulz]

out shooting on the way down.

[Alex Ramos]

Better not with me.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Also ejecting and then having to go like have a combo after. Must be insane.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I know.

[Alex Ramos]

Cuz you know the, the pressure of these ejectors, like these guys are all three inches shorter than when they started.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's that many GS.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

It's like your spine compresses.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Guest or caller]

They'll break full like. I think MC someone famously like broke their bones just from the ejection.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, wow.

[Guest or caller]

Then the leg landing.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Guest or caller]

Like the wind force. If you're high enough up and fast enough.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, yeah. It's insane. So you eject and then you got to come down and like negotiate in Arabic with the homies. You gotta be like, I'm good. Like that's a, it's a heavy dance.

[Andrew Schulz]

How much does that suck to like you're in a dogfight, you get clipped by a Scud missile. You eject just in time before the plane explodes. You parachute down, survive alive, and then get shot in the head the second you land on the ground. Like you, you. What is that movie where you avoid death? What is that called?

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, Final Destination.

[Andrew Schulz]

Final Destination, like three different ways. And then you get down and a guy in sandals and a ghost outfit shoots you right in your head. There's, that's got, I mean there's got to be a moment where you're just like, oh Jesus, just take me out. Doesn't that.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, that should be humiliated. Kidding.

[Andrew Schulz]

Damn.

[Mark Gagnon]

Maybe they carry the gun for other reasons.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, one bullet.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep.

[Alex Ramos]

Damn. I mean it's just wild. And then you get shot down by your own people. Yeah. That means wild. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Let's hope this is short. Let's hope this is short. And the. No Americans die and the people of Iran don't die. Die and they get liberated.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, who you think runs out of ammunition first? Cuz the Asian was like Iran sending $50,000 drones, but Israel sending million dollar missiles to.

[Andrew Schulz]

So this is the, this is what happened with Russia in Afghanistan.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Andrew Schulz]

Whereas like I think America had equipped the Taliban with these anti like helicopter rocket launchers. So they were taking out these like multi million dollar like military grade helicopters with Few thousand dollar rocket launchers that they were just, you know, in a cave and they'd come out of the cave and then boom. And like it just became.

[Mark Gagnon]

I played Golden Die.

[Andrew Schulz]

You remember the game? So it's like it just became economically improbable for Russia to be victorious because they weren't going to get on the ground and just start going rocket launcher for rocket launcher. And I think that's the scenario that he's displaying right now, which is like a million dollar missile to take out a $50,000 drone. You know, eventually you kind of run out of those or you run out of money. Yeah. And so how many drones does Iran have? And can they keep creating these drones? And will another country supply them with drones? That's the other thing that's kind of wild.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, they're saying, he said they're making 500 a day. They have like 80,000 or some crazy.

[Andrew Schulz]

So they got to take out those drone factories.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

To me that seems like the most reasonable.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. And apparently the other thing is like America's anti missile, like ground, air, missile defense. We only have a certain amount and we're arming Saudi Arabia, uae, Like, we have, you know, Israel, like all these different, you know, things.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And we're getting depleted. So the question is like, will we run out before them?

[Andrew Schulz]

And I feel like we will because Trump tweeted we have unlimited missiles. Trump only tweets shit like that when shit ain't going well. Like when it comes economy sucks. He's like, it's the greatest economy it's ever happened in history.

[Alex Ramos]

What was that? How many missiles we got is like infinity missiles.

[Andrew Schulz]

We have infinity missiles. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

That's not good.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's not good at all. And the reason that's not good is twofold, because, no, they're not gonna. And this is where shit gets ugly. They're not just gonna be like, all right, we're out of missiles. See you later, guys. Good try. What they'll probably do is escalate. And that escalation means civilian deaths in Iran. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And escalation trap or whatever, that's what they call it.

[Andrew Schulz]

So it's like, okay, we're running out of these defensive missiles. We're going to have to go more offensive. And that means we're going to have to target places that probably have civilians there. And then that's going to grow natural resentment and hatred for decades, centuries for a group of people that wanted liberation. They're like, well, now I'm dying for this liberation at the hands of the people that are trying to liberate me. Fuck them. Maybe the regime was right. Maybe we need to unify behind them so that more of us don't get killed.

[Mark Gagnon]

Fuck.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. It's just ridiculous. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

War.

[Alex Ramos]

Trump said.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. What is it good for?

[Alex Ramos]

Absolutely nothing. Also, you saw people saying this is just to cover up the Epstein files.

[Andrew Schulz]

That seems a little ridiculous. This seems pretty egregious to cover up the Epstein files. You know what I mean? Because it's one. We're not forgetting about the Epstein files.

[Alex Ramos]

But you know the name of this operation? Aberration. Epic Fury. E F. Epstein files.

[Mark Gagnon]

Giga, Max, you.

[Andrew Schulz]

Ah.

[Alex Ramos]

Wait.

[Andrew Schulz]

Do you guys think it's just a cover up for the epc? But this seems insane.

[Mark Gagnon]

It can hurt. No.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, it's one of those convenience. Maybe it moved up like a month. Yeah, it moved up two weeks or something, you know. But I think this is probably in motion for 30 years.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

They just found somebody dumb enough to go along with it. Like Trump is dumb enough to do it. They've been trying to get America to do this forever.

[Mark Gagnon]

Facts.

[Andrew Schulz]

And then they found a guy stupid enough to do it and they probably filled his head as you're going to be the liberator, the great hero, the person that brings peace to the world.

[Mark Gagnon]

You think that's how they convince them to do it? Or do you think they have something on them? I think they have something on them.

[Andrew Schulz]

How did mom.

[Alex Ramos]

They showed him a newspaper, bro. How did mom.

[Andrew Schulz]

Donnie convince him to build some units in York City. Went with two newspapers and he was like this one, you look like a hero. And this one is when. Who is it? Gerald Ford?

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, I think so.

[Andrew Schulz]

Look like an. You want to be a hero and. And Momdani.

[Mark Gagnon]

Actually he's nice.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, he's nice. He needs credit for the snow too. He's not getting enough credit for the snow. He got the snow to up out of here and New Yorkers got nice little paycheck on the way and it actually worked. And people are trying to act like that he didn't deserve credit for that. And he does deserve credit.

[Alex Ramos]

He got ice out twice.

[Andrew Schulz]

Bang. Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

And he got that bad bitch out of out of jail.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's doing the Lord's work, my guy.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, but he something that like a lot of I think Democratic politicians don't have the political will to do, which is like he'll go there and take a picture with Trump and he'll talk to him and negotiate with him and he knows how Transactional Trump is. And then he'll get something out of it. Where I think most Democrats are in this state, where they're like, fuck this guy. Look at all these horrible things he's doing. I'm not even gonna talk to him because that could look like I'm trying to, like, fraternize with the enemy. But.

[Mark Gagnon]

And this is. This is rookie politician working Trump. Imagine what these leaders are doing everywhere.

[Alex Ramos]

But this. Because he's a. He's not a dumb, like, ideological lib.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes. What do you mean? He's a commie, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

That's what I'm saying. He's a leftist. He has, like, actual, like, left, like, economic policy. So he's like. Like, I don't care. You know what I mean? Like, I don't care what the pronoun is the word, whatever. Like, let's just build shit.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And, like, try to lower cost. Like, it's. It's actually, it's. It seems like it's more pragmatic.

[Andrew Schulz]

How do I help my people?

[Alex Ramos]

Whereas all these other people. People are like, oh, if I'm with this person, then they're going to think that I'm one of the bad guys. Use bad words. And then. And it's like, that he also has,

[Andrew Schulz]

I would say, enough political capital and trust within his base that he could do something like this, where all these other politicians are absolutely terrified that the base will turn against them and they'll be kicked out of office. And et, that. That is a little. That is kind of my theory. But he built up that. He built up that trust. He deserves fucking credit for it. And this is a ballsy move, which a lot of Democrats would never, never do. Keep in mind, like, he's going to meet with the guy who everybody thinks is a pedophile and is covering up other pedophiles. Yeah, right. Think about that. Like, that is.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's a good.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's optically why nobody wants to go meet with him.

[Mark Gagnon]

Right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Because they're like, now I'm enabling this guy who's covering up the global pedophile ring. Now I'm chumming it up and asking for favors from a guy who's covering a global pedophile ring. That guy. I'm not about talking. Talking to him. He's like, we need to build apartments in New York, and that's my job, and that's what I'm gonna do. And he's the guy in power.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's fire.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's a ballsy move.

[Mark Gagnon]

Shout out to.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, for real.

[Mark Gagnon]

You're doing the thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

But, like, you see why. You see why other politicians won't do it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah. That's a fire move.

[Andrew Schulz]

But you. But you would also see why others might get tons of criticism because they. I agree with you. I. I agree with you. But, like, for example, I don't know if an AOC would do that.

[Mark Gagnon]

We'll see.

[Guest or caller]

It helps that he's the mayor.

[Andrew Schulz]

Exactly. He's not involved. Like, he doesn't have a vote on any of the, like, congressional sayings of what happens in the country. What he has control over is what happens in his city and he can get help for what. Yeah, it helps a lot.

[Guest or caller]

He's mayor, obviously, like you said, mayor of New York is incredibly important. More important than many other positions.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's a vice president, Dan. Now.

[Guest or caller]

He can't be.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, no.

[Andrew Schulz]

He's like the most important.

[Guest or caller]

Sorry, sorry.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Guest or caller]

I think it also weirdly does help Trump a little bit that he can't be president.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, huge. Yeah. Trump isn't threatened by him. He doesn't see it as, like, political

[Guest or caller]

jockey because you're not going to get my job. You're not going to. Your face. Ain't going to be on these walls.

[Alex Ramos]

He's like, Varys. He can let him be close to the king.

[Andrew Schulz]

Exactly. Because he ain't going to do anything. His own balls, he can't sire.

[Alex Ramos]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

So what. But what's interesting about it is, like,

[Guest or caller]

never seen the show.

[Andrew Schulz]

Never seen it. I can't believe. I can't believe I should have never contacted it that much. But, yeah, it is interesting. Yeah, that. That is. That is interesting. Because he could also gain political capital just by bagging on Trump.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right. Like. And that would get his base riled up. But he probably knows that the best success for him, not only politically, just like, as a person in New York City, is if he delivers on his promises.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

And this is a pathway to delivering. Yeah, it's really. It's a. It's a ballsy move. I think most people wouldn't do it, especially Democrats would not go. Go do that. Probably not even Republicans now. They're covering up the Epstein shit. I don't think there's. I think there's. Republicans are like, I'm not like, Thomas Massie's not touching him.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Because he's.

[Mark Gagnon]

His approval rating is in the toilet now. So it's like. Yeah. Why would you want to stand next to him?

[Andrew Schulz]

And he knows that he's going to be used for a photo op. He knows Trump is going to be in the pick. Smile. And you're going to have to be in the pick, too. Interesting. It's a very. Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

I feel like it's. The other thing is kind of to the merit point that it seems like his agenda is very clear.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yep.

[Alex Ramos]

Whereas all these other politicians, like, their agenda is always get more power for Zon, which I'm a little skeptical about. I'm like, he probably does want more power.

[Mark Gagnon]

Hey, relax.

[Alex Ramos]

That's my. My black pill cynicism, where I'm like,

[Andrew Schulz]

all right, well, yeah, they all want more power. He's limited by not being born here.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah. But he trying to be governor. Like, he'll, like, work his way.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's less power.

[Alex Ramos]

But he hasn't shown.

[Andrew Schulz]

I mean, mayor, senators, mayor is way

[Mark Gagnon]

more power of New York City. It's more. It's more.

[Alex Ramos]

But if he's a senator, what do they do? You get to. You had a sick house, but probably.

[Andrew Schulz]

What has Chuck Schumer done?

[Guest or caller]

Kathy Hochul, like, they don't do anything.

[Andrew Schulz]

The congressman, they just bicker and fight. More power.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's damn near president number two, man.

[Alex Ramos]

I don't know. New York City.

[Andrew Schulz]

You could pay your boys 30 bucks an hour to clean snow. Name one congressman that could do that, bro. He could go.

[Guest or caller]

He can get flights to Turkey.

[Alex Ramos]

Come on, bro.

[Guest or caller]

Flights to Turkey.

[Andrew Schulz]

Upgrade.

[Guest or caller]

Upgrade, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

You saw that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo. And Eric Adams didn't even come back with him hair.

[Alex Ramos]

Damn.

[Mark Gagnon]

You going.

[Alex Ramos]

It'd be too obvious, right? It be way too obvious if you come back with a full head.

[Andrew Schulz]

That would have been fire long curly.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, that he gets a bad rap, man.

[Alex Ramos]

You know, Al is the worst. I love the political mind.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, Al is America. Yeah. Once you're no longer in power, we could love you.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

I just wait till Trump's out in like, three more terms. Al was gonna be like. He was fine. He was cool.

[Andrew Schulz]

Apprentice, like, yeah. We got this guy wrong. This guy. He was the man.

[Alex Ramos]

Come on. But. Come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

N. I don't know.

[Alex Ramos]

Just wait. Just wait.

[Andrew Schulz]

Dude.

[Alex Ramos]

Al's got amnesia. Which is a good name. 4.

[Andrew Schulz]

Don't do it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Why?

[Alex Ramos]

Something. What?

[Mark Gagnon]

Both of y'.

[Andrew Schulz]

All.

[Alex Ramos]

It's a good name.

[Mark Gagnon]

Racist.

[Andrew Schulz]

No. How was that race going through it.

[Alex Ramos]

How was that race?

[Andrew Schulz]

He was like four.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I don't think so.

[Andrew Schulz]

Don't do it.

[Guest or caller]

Well, who do you think would.

[Mark Gagnon]

There you go. You see Trump, I'm asking.

[Alex Ramos]

You said Latinos.

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, who do you think?

[Guest or caller]

Amnesia.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Sounds.

[Guest or caller]

It possibly could be an Asian name. It sounds.

[Alex Ramos]

It could Be an Asian name.

[Guest or caller]

It could be an Asian name.

[Mark Gagnon]

Never heard that.

[Alex Ramos]

Who do you think it is? Because right now you're squashing all of our.

[Guest or caller]

You haven't said anyone.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, definitely a Jew.

[Alex Ramos]

You think it's a Jew?

[Mark Gagnon]

Amnesia.

[Andrew Schulz]

That was my crown.

[Mark Gagnon]

It could be Italian also. Hey, Italian immediate. Base it. Base it.

[Andrew Schulz]

You got on there, I'll give you that. Stop your insider trading, by the way. Wait, why they coming from Mr. Beast? You didn't see this?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Or not Mr. Beast. Maybe one of his editors or something.

[Alex Ramos]

Damn.

[Andrew Schulz]

But basically.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, so Mr. Beast. Because he's probably trading for him.

[Andrew Schulz]

But okay, so. So Cowshi fined and suspended. Artem Kaptur, a video editor for MrBeast for insider trading. Captor used confidential information regarding upcoming videos to place profitable bets on Kalshi's prediction markets. The account was frozen. The case reported to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the cftc.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wait, but that wasn't Lord of the Rings dude we had in here.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, no, no, no, no, no. He would never. That look cute.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I fucking cute elf.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, he's not doing it. But never do that. No, don't let me down, Nolan.

[Alex Ramos]

Nolan's name was Artem Capture.

[Andrew Schulz]

When are you read? I don't know what y. All names is Amnesia.

[Alex Ramos]

That's a beautiful name.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, genuinely a beautiful name.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, but Nolan, don't let me down, bro.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, you gotta. You can only inside a trade on poly market. Yeah, exactly. So I looked into this shit and I was like, well, why? Why can't you? And apparently so Kalshee will get your Social Security number. They like actually make sure that you're a human being.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Andrew Schulz]

Whereas I think the other markets don't do that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, really?

[Andrew Schulz]

So there is really no recourse. Like, maybe they have your banking information to like get the thing.

[Mark Gagnon]

But I remember Polymarket, you couldn't even trade here. Like, you had to use like a VPN or some shit like that.

[Andrew Schulz]

Really?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know if that got overturned, but when they first came out, you couldn't.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, but like, I think they gotta prosecute this shit. Like, I think that guy gotta go to jail for anybody to trust these markets.

[Mark Gagnon]

What?

[Alex Ramos]

I mean. All right, I see. I see your point.

[Andrew Schulz]

What, you gotta send them to jail?

[Mark Gagnon]

But I thought that's the point of the markets. It's like, oh, I got a tip. Let's go.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not it. That's what makes it illegal.

[Alex Ramos]

Insider trade.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's Martha Stewart.

[Mark Gagnon]

Now you're Doing Martha Stewart prediction markets, guys.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, it's not a prediction if you know what's going to happen.

[Mark Gagnon]

Hey, I'm nice with it.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's a good prediction.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, it's a strong.

[Andrew Schulz]

But don't you think that that's the only way people will trust it if people start going to jail for insider trading?

[Alex Ramos]

I don't know even how much people are concerned about trusting it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Tell me, what do you think?

[Alex Ramos]

Like, I feel like people kind of know, like, oh, there's probably some insider trading trading happening.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right.

[Alex Ramos]

And I think that people are kind of like, at least that's how I feel. I'm like, yeah, there's a lot of people guessing and predicting, and then there's a lot of people. There's some people that might have some knowledge.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I'm looking at it, like, Meme Coins, it's like.

[Andrew Schulz]

Or like the stock market. You're like, okay, some of these people know what the deals America is going to make.

[Mark Gagnon]

But even more like Meme Coins is like, hey, pump this. We about to get up, and then we out. You know, it's like, people understand the risk going into it.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, but how do you rug pull on, like, a prediction market or like a prop bet?

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, not necessarily rug pull, but you will. Someone will tell you, hey, this is about to happen, so let's all get rich right now. Right?

[Andrew Schulz]

Well, that's the other thing I don't get with, which is, like, if you

[Mark Gagnon]

see I'm insider trading for y', all, right? If I ever find out some information, don't incriminate us. Yeah. We all go.

[Andrew Schulz]

I don't want to be inside a dream.

[Alex Ramos]

What do you mean? Like, you find out some information, and then what?

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm gonna just tell you, and then we go and bet on it.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why do we have to do it?

[Mark Gagnon]

So I don't go down.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why would we also go down?

[Mark Gagnon]

Because you'll fight it for us.

[Andrew Schulz]

That's never happened before. There's never been a legal battle that we had to fight.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

Not related to any insider trading or anything.

[Alex Ramos]

No.

[Guest or caller]

Okay.

[Andrew Schulz]

We're not one of those guys. Oh, Artem Kaptur.

[Alex Ramos]

Fucking Restart Sweden.

[Mark Gagnon]

That guy.

[Andrew Schulz]

What an idiot. What an idiot. To give somebody his Social Security number, place a bet knowing that he's on the editing team from the thing.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. What did he bet on?

[Alex Ramos]

Did it say Beast Games?

[Andrew Schulz]

It's gotta be Beast Games.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, was it.

[Andrew Schulz]

I mean, that's the only thing that he would have knowledge on, right?

[Alex Ramos]

Ooh, yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Guest or caller]

Do you know why they could get in trouble for this. Beast Games is regulated. All game shows are regulated. Like, there are episodes of, like, Wheel of Fortune and shit, where they're, like, spinning it, or like, whose line? Or not whose line, but the one with Drew Carry.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Guest or caller]

Where he'll accidentally mess up and give someone the answer or something and they have to redo the take because they're like, this is all regulated. We can't hint you. We can't lead you to, like, certain answers. So Beast Games being a show, might come with the regulation, huh? Yeah, because there is real money up

[Mark Gagnon]

for it might be a situation.

[Andrew Schulz]

There's real money baked within the game, though.

[Guest or caller]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

So, yeah, you can't rig it against the other people competing in the game.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

How does insider trading with the regulation affect it?

[Guest or caller]

Well, it's the same. Like, it's the reason you can't bet on wwe because it's scripted, Right. So.

[Mark Gagnon]

So he has knowledge who's going to win, then it's not really fair.

[Alex Ramos]

But you could bet on WWE, right?

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Guest or caller]

all. It's.

[Alex Ramos]

It is out.

[Guest or caller]

I mean, maybe in a poly, maybe

[Andrew Schulz]

you could trade on it.

[Guest or caller]

Yeah, maybe. But I know that betting for, like, WWE and things like that, that is fully outlawed because there are people who know and there are people. There are decision makers.

[Andrew Schulz]

You would be. To trade on wwe, you would be absolutely retarded.

[Mark Gagnon]

Unless you're one of the writers. There was a thing in this.

[Andrew Schulz]

Put it this way. If anybody puts any money on wwe, match it.

[Alex Ramos]

Yes.

[Andrew Schulz]

Because that motherfucker knows something.

[Guest or caller]

There's a thing way back in the day with the Simpsons where they tried to figure out who killed Mr. Burns. I don't know if you remember this. It was like a big, big thing. There were a bunch of people that attempted to bet on it and got in a lot of trouble because it's a written show, right? And there's a writer that knows the actual outcome. So you can't actually bet on that because the outcome is not up to, like, chance or up to someone else's skill or something.

[Alex Ramos]

That's how it is with Beast Games, though, because it's like the show's already done and then they're released that it's like, we know who wins and it's coming out in three months, and then people are still betting. So I'm like, yeah, I don't know what it all means. You know, I don't know how it all works. I'm just floating around on this rock.

[Guest or caller]

You are floating around.

[Mark Gagnon]

What do you Think his penalty should be jail.

[Alex Ramos]

Death penalty.

[Andrew Schulz]

Death.

[Alex Ramos]

Whoa.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Public hanging.

[Andrew Schulz]

100%.

[Alex Ramos]

I think it's the only way.

[Andrew Schulz]

Also he thought.

[Mark Gagnon]

Also he only made 20 bands.

[Alex Ramos]

How old is it?

[Andrew Schulz]

Was it 20?

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, no, he's fine.

[Andrew Schulz]

4,000. No. This is the thing is hilarious.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's only made 4,000. Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

But this is what I thought was interesting is like he tried to do like a small bet so nobody would know. And they still know.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wow.

[Andrew Schulz]

You know, like they're aware of the, I guess, connectivity that you have to certain things. And they're looking into all the. I don't know how exactly the system works, but it'd be obvious if he put like a million dollar bet.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Which if you're going to go to jail, put the most money. Don't go to jail. For $4,000. You can steal that from Mr. Beast. It's going to be $4,000 just on the floor of. Right.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I could work on that show.

[Andrew Schulz]

Right.

[Mark Gagnon]

Pockets.

[Andrew Schulz]

I have.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm coming cake though.

[Andrew Schulz]

Hunter.

[Mark Gagnon]

That.

[Andrew Schulz]

Have you guys watched any of the show?

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, I've watched the whole thing.

[Andrew Schulz]

You watched the whole B.C. i loved it. No way.

[Alex Ramos]

I'm like. I was embarrassed because like it is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, I thought you were joking.

[Andrew Schulz]

You don't watch.

[Alex Ramos]

He loves it.

[Mark Gagnon]

You don't watch certain tv, bro.

[Alex Ramos]

You got to understand Beast games traders. These things expose who we are.

[Mark Gagnon]

Humans.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. You're just watching the human condition.

[Alex Ramos]

It gives it. It shows you what happens when people are as desperate as possible trying to get money. Okay. That is ultimately who we are at our core. And it's just really good.

[Andrew Schulz]

It reminds you why you should be Catholic.

[Mark Gagnon]

Right?

[Alex Ramos]

Exactly. Yes. That's why we need order. We need a divine hierarchy.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah. Something to live up to. Because who we really are. Pieces of. Exactly. Makes you reckon with your humanity.

[Alex Ramos]

That's what it's all about.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's kind of diabolical. Like I gotta. We gotta talk to Jimmy about that. Like, what is it that you like exposing? It's a lot.

[Alex Ramos]

To be honest. I need to ask him because it. It is a lot. It's like you're. It's just such a large amount of money.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

That it's truly. You're seeing people like deal. Like having nervous breakdowns. Like a lot of these reality shows.

[Andrew Schulz]

Like 100 grand give a scenario. Because I think people who haven't watched it are thinking it's just like one of his YouTube videos.

[Alex Ramos]

The grand prize is US$5 million.

[Andrew Schulz]

Not the amount of money, but like give the psychological Warfare. How he pits them against each other.

[Alex Ramos]

Well, there's.

[Andrew Schulz]

Because it's different than his YouTube videos, which are like, stay in a car for a week and then.

[Alex Ramos]

Yeah, so like, one of the games

[Mark Gagnon]

where, like, I thought it's just a bunch of those.

[Andrew Schulz]

No, no.

[Alex Ramos]

Some of the games are, like, intentionally dumb. Some of them are, like, really high level and, like, sophisticated in terms of, like, strategy. And then there's, like, some in the middle. So, like, one of the games they do is, all right, everyone break into three groups. There's like 100 people. Everyone breaking into three groups. All three of you are going to go into different rooms. And so it's three people in a room. Three people in a room. Three people in a room. And he says, all right, you guys are going to stay in this room, room. Until one of you voluntarily puts a handcuff around your wrist and chooses to be out. And so now the three of you thought you were going in as, like, friends. Like, oh, it's going to be our team. And now you have to get one of the other people out. And then they basically have to figure out, how do we eliminate someone?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, you kill the guy and then put the thing around his race.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay. No, well, you can't kill them.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's not Hunger Games. It's basically Hunger Games, but it is

[Alex Ramos]

also a television show. So it's like they're basically trying to

[Mark Gagnon]

decide, okay, knock them out. You don't got to kill them.

[Alex Ramos]

Like, if we're. If we're doing this, us three, how do. How do we decide who goes knocking

[Mark Gagnon]

you both out and taking all your money? But.

[Andrew Schulz]

But leaving. Leaving the room. Leaving the room means you're out of the game. Right?

[Mark Gagnon]

Light work.

[Alex Ramos]

No, no. Leaving the room means that you win. Handcuffing yourself means you're out of the game.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

So somebody has to sacrifice themselves for the group. Yeah. So what we would probably do is outside of violence, we'd probably be like, whatever I win, I will promise you 20% percent of. And then you get to negotiate. I want 75% of.

[Alex Ramos]

Or I would say, actually, let's just do a random gamble. Like, let's just all draw cards. Whoever's the highest card, you know, lose.

[Andrew Schulz]

But what if I try to rig that so I make sure that I draw the highest card, which happens where

[Alex Ramos]

someone in the season sets up a game and rigs the game and eliminates someone. They're like, well, I lost not knowing this person.

[Mark Gagnon]

The oldest form of sport, just combat guys.

[Andrew Schulz]

But isn't it, like, I don't know.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's not. Look that up.

[Andrew Schulz]

I'm sign of violence.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wouldn't that be the best way to solve that?

[Andrew Schulz]

Sure.

[Alex Ramos]

How?

[Mark Gagnon]

We can't just wrestle and whoever taps out first. Boom. I got that.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay. But there's three people. So it's a death match between three people.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. We don't have to kill each other. We can just wrestle three people.

[Alex Ramos]

Wrestle.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

And who wins?

[Mark Gagnon]

Whoever taps out first.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. There you go.

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay. Now will you indulge the non violent options just because these are the rules of the game. Yes. You know, but it's like to me,

[Alex Ramos]

I was a bad guy. Yeah. He's like, like violence. Yes. I'm going to steal money from that show. Yes. And then you're like, I don't do crime.

[Mark Gagnon]

Come on now that's white collar. No one's getting hurt.

[Alex Ramos]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

If I steal money from Beast Games, nobody's getting hurt.

[Alex Ramos]

Fair.

[Mark Gagnon]

Decent point.

[Andrew Schulz]

But if you kill the two contestants.

[Mark Gagnon]

I didn't say kill. Tap out.

[Andrew Schulz]

Got it?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah, that's it. Okay, you wrestle with David.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right, Explain it to me. Cuz he's not going to. He can't get his hand.

[Alex Ramos]

We're going to team up and we're just going to get you out.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Ramos]

Because we know how aggressive you are. We're like, yeah, we should get out

[Mark Gagnon]

the most aggressive racial crime.

[Guest or caller]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

Hate crime. Hate crime.

[Alex Ramos]

One of the games they do in the.

[Andrew Schulz]

Who would be most used to wearing handcuffs? Like, what if we approached it in that way?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know.

[Andrew Schulz]

What you got doing your best room. Good point.

[Alex Ramos]

So like the very last game they play is basically a giant rotating thing with a bunch of briefcases. There's a $5 million check. They have to put the check in the briefcase. One person is placing it, the other person is facing away with a blindfold. And then the person spins around and then they have to pick a briefcase to open. They can ask any number of questions to the person on the other side that place the thing in the briefcase. So now you're basically trying to cold read them, being like, what's your name? Where are you from? What year is it? Is it in this briefcase? And try to see if there's a subtle facial twitch to figure out which briefcase it's in. And then every time you get it wrong, they remove a briefcase and the game continues until one person selects the correct briefcase. There's $5 million online.

[Andrew Schulz]

But here's the other thing. It's like they'll all be on a Line with different, like, squares. And that's your team, right? Everybody. And then he'll be like, hey, if anybody wants to leave their team, team, you get $100,000 right now. And the team is all going, hey, we're all connected.

[Alex Ramos]

We're.

[Andrew Schulz]

We're. If we do this, we move on. We could win millions of dollars. So let's just stay locked in. And there's always somebody on the team that goes, y', all, me, I'm taking 100,000.

[Mark Gagnon]

And then that whole team is out, gets eliminated.

[Andrew Schulz]

And that's what this show kind of points at, which is, like, the part of humanity, everybody has a price.

[Mark Gagnon]

I just don't see it as that dark because it's something they voluntarily decide to do.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's the safest version of darkness, right? It's like, this is not people starving. This is not people trying to provide for their families. It's like, it actually, in a way, exposes our humanity in a. Even worse. Because it's like, you would understand if somebody jumped off the line so they could provide for their family, but if they did it just to make money, and then over everybody else, when they didn't need to provide for their entire family, you're like, oh, wow, yeah, people do anything for money.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I do. I do get it. But it. I can sit with it just because it's, like, voluntary. So that's why it doesn't strike me as being, like, dirty or.

[Andrew Schulz]

Exactly.

[Alex Ramos]

No, it's not objectively, like, immoral, but it does show something about the human condition that's like, oh, yeah, we will do some. Everyone has a price. Basically, that tagline where, like, you think, like, oh, I'm incorruptible. Like, all these people will vote for me. They put their trust in me, and I'll forego any amount of money. And then Mr. Beast is like, what about a million bucks? And they're like, all right, yeah, yeah, I'll just take. I'll screw over all these people.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, I wouldn't. I can't be bought, can't be bought, can't be bought, can't be bought.

[Andrew Schulz]

It's good to know.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't got a price.

[Alex Ramos]

I ass. Can't be bought, can't be bought.

[Mark Gagnon]

Come on, man.

[Guest or caller]

I'll wear any brand that sends him. If it's fire, does not matter.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'll wear it. If it's fire, that's not me.

[Guest or caller]

Does not matter where it's from.

[Alex Ramos]

No. There was a bag. If I like it, New York Yankees

[Mark Gagnon]

collect, I wear it.

[Alex Ramos]

I think you would. You would do the maga hat, Yankee.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, I wouldn't.

[Alex Ramos]

I have guys, I had 100,000 to put on the MAGA hat. No, 500,000 put on the mag hat.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm telling you, I don't have a price. Keep going.

[Alex Ramos]

We should start to go fun. I mean.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, now he talking. Talking real money now.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, also, Marable slowly takes off his beanie.

[Alex Ramos]

One of our good pals from Patreon.

[Mark Gagnon]

Danny.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yo, shout out Danny man. Heart and liver. He'd been on the list.

[Alex Ramos]

Can you explain who this is for?

[Andrew Schulz]

The Danny is. Who did you say that he was?

[Guest or caller]

Danny's our patron from Detroit.

[Alex Ramos]

Oh, T. Grizzly.

[Andrew Schulz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Asian T. Grizzly.

[Mark Gagnon]

D. Grizzly, we like to call him.

[Andrew Schulz]

D. Grizzly. Detroit's own Danny patron legend. Needed a heart transplant and a liver transplant in the hospital.

[Guest or caller]

Still calling in, still sending Patreon questions.

[Andrew Schulz]

Still sending Patreon questions. And there was a moment where he was about to get a heart and then things didn't work out. He was at the top of the list.

[Guest or caller]

That has to fuck with your head.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh my God. Yeah, but we just found. We just got confirmation. He did get a heart transplant and a liver transplant all in one. And he is recovering and he is well. So we just want to wish Danny a healthy recovery. We love you, my dog. I know he hasn't. I think he hasn't been able to use his voice for like six days. So we don't know if we're talking about.

[Alex Ramos]

He was in debated for a long

[Guest or caller]

time and can't really like talk just yet.

[Andrew Schulz]

But you got to text something to us, man. We need to know what you're doing. What's going on?

[Guest or caller]

He invited me when he's out to go to Detroit to go to a strip club that has lamb chops up, so.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, we gotta do that.

[Alex Ramos]

That's sort of the heads first day out. That's his first day out, bro. Yeah, you guys really prayed on his downfall. Now we're back.

[Andrew Schulz]

Use that new heart, bro.

[Mark Gagnon]

If he got the heart from a woman, is he part trans?

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, let him live, bro. Yo, let my man live.

[Mark Gagnon]

And that's why. That's how he tunes in because he loves the fun.

[Andrew Schulz]

He loves this silly interesting question mark he got. Yeah, A.

[Alex Ramos]

If he gets a black dude's heart, can he say it?

[Mark Gagnon]

You know what? No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Guess he's not trans, man. He's not trans. We confirmed it. You are not trans at all. Anyway, we love you, dog, and we are stoked for you man. And, yeah, can't wait to chop it up with you. Anyway, we love you guys, man. We appreciate you. We're going to go to patreon right now. Patreon.com Flagrant Peace.

[Mark Gagnon]

It gets crazy over there.
