Andrew Schulz
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant. Today we're going to get to the bottom why Mark believes everything. Mark just three seconds ago was telling us why demons exist. And your proof was the Jews. That's literally what you said.
Akash Singh
Religious people believe in demons. Dove believes in demons. Let the record show you're a religious Jew. You go to synagogue every day. And according to Jewish religion, you have to believe that there's good and evil.
Andrew Schulz
And that the evils are demons.
Akash Singh
Sure.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Mark, I've learned from communicating with my wife, okay, that giving examples is not what they want. Okay? Examples undermine what they. And they just want their feelings validated. Now, my whole life has been dedicated towards creating metaphors and analogies for why I'm right. Turns out that's horrible for communication in marriage. Also interrupting, apparently. Horrible. I'm like, is it my wife that's commenting on the YouTubes?
Akash Singh
You gotta call it heckling. Call it heckling, dude, you burn it every day.
Andrew Schulz
Do people not have friends? I'm like, what do you do with your friends? You don't just talk over each other. That's just how friendship fucking works.
Dove
That's how it's supposed to go.
Andrew Schulz
You have to swear. Say something. You just say it.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Done.
Akash Singh
Except for when she interrupts you.
Andrew Schulz
Disrespectful.
Mark Gagnon
Come on.
Andrew Schulz
A man is talking here. A male embryo. The embryo that is wanted and desired and cherished around the world.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Anyway. Mark, Mark, Mark. Mark believes in anything. We figured out why Mark believes in anything. Can you share?
Akash Singh
I believe in. I give leashes to things. Okay. I don't just believe. I just don't believe in anything.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Mark heard so much absurd shit growing up from his mom, obviously, Right? So his barometer for what is normal and weird.
Akash Singh
Oh.
Andrew Schulz
Is way off.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Coffee, enema.
Akash Singh
Normal.
Mark Gagnon
Great way to start your morning.
Andrew Schulz
We haven't even gotten to the bottom of that, have we?
Mark Gagnon
Kumar's mom did.
Andrew Schulz
So. Hold on. She's just backing up into the Nespresso every morning?
Akash Singh
Yeah, well, it's put into, like, a. Like a canteen. Oh.
Andrew Schulz
She doesn't go right from the tap.
Akash Singh
She doesn't just.
Andrew Schulz
She doesn't toot that thing up.
Akash Singh
No, you gotta cool it down. You gotta cool it down. Make a room temp and then put it in the. In the little. Little container and then tube it up.
Andrew Schulz
Got it.
Dove
She doesn't go for the ice cream. Refreshing.
Andrew Schulz
Wasted.
Akash Singh
Room temperature. So what does this have to do with demons?
Andrew Schulz
Okay, listen. She knows that.
Al
Okay?
Andrew Schulz
Okay. So, all right. So Mark has gives a little bit longer leash to all the crazy people, right?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Now, I'm not saying your mom's crazy, but she has some wild ideas. And you would hear this.
Akash Singh
Some of the ideas are certainly kind of crazy.
Andrew Schulz
And then some of the ideas end up kind of being Right. So where the average person like us, if somebody just walks up to us on the street and they're like, bacon is fucking, is really from pigeon or whatever like that, we go, all right, whatever. You're just a crazy person. There's a little bit of you that goes, what do you mean by that?
Akash Singh
Why? There's certainly a follow up question. And I thought everyone had follow up questions. No.
Andrew Schulz
Why we walk away.
Mark Gagnon
You don't engage crazies.
Andrew Schulz
But here's the thing. Normally someone with Mark's condition would go to an island somewhere where there are people that are relaxed and calm and they don't believe in crazy shit, and then they would just live out the rest of their life in tranquility and peace.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
No, he went to the place where they're normal people screaming out crazy shit all day long and now he has to inquire about this.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Mark Gagnon
Thousand Percent started a podcast about it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Literally. Yes. That's where this convo came from. Because I was talking to a guy that was telling me about aliens and I was like, yo, maybe dude, they're so convicted where they're telling me about aliens.
Andrew Schulz
Has there ever been a moment in your life where you just go, ugh, I don't believe that.
Akash Singh
Sure.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. When someone said, you should enjoy movies.
Akash Singh
Sure.
Andrew Schulz
You're like, I don't believe that.
Akash Singh
Someone's like, watch Wicked. And I was like, too many people.
Andrew Schulz
Do that every single day. That's part of our culture. Yeah. I'm not going to watch movies. I mean, shower daily.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I mean, that's a. That's a myth. For the record, that is absolutely a propaganda tool. Done by Capital America. Yes.
Andrew Schulz
By the Resnicks. Yeah. Californians. Washing yourself all day and your city would be there.
Akash Singh
Consume more, buy More.
Andrew Schulz
That's what happens.
Akash Singh
People are showering all the time. Yeah. And I was counting down the minutes.
Andrew Schulz
Until they blamed it on the Jews. The wildfire. I was, I kept looking at TikTok. I was like, man, you guys are taking a little while. And then boom. Where's all the water in California? In some starboys house in Northern la where. Where the resnecks live, I think.
Mark Gagnon
Northern California.
Al
I have all of it though.
Andrew Schulz
Anyway, okay.
Akash Singh
So yeah, I give, I give a little Bit of a leash.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Akash Singh
But then some things, like flat Earth. That's not true.
Andrew Schulz
But you would give a leash to believe it. It had to.
Akash Singh
But I heard it and I was like, yes.
Mark Gagnon
Enough for them to walk off the face of the planet.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
It had to be proven to you that it wasn't true. Where the rest of us were. Like, we know it's not true, but.
Akash Singh
How do you know it's not true?
Andrew Schulz
Because.
Mark Gagnon
Exactly.
Akash Singh
Because.
Mark Gagnon
Can I tell you something exactly?
Akash Singh
Because.
Andrew Schulz
Because.
Akash Singh
No. You look into it. You say, okay, the light can't go through the hole.
Andrew Schulz
Didn't even look into.
Akash Singh
Because the curvature.
Andrew Schulz
Didn't even look into it. I just said, ah, it's not flat.
Akash Singh
But when you're in an airplane, you look out and you go, it seems flat.
Andrew Schulz
Don't even think about.
Dove
Nope.
Mark Gagnon
No, it doesn't seem.
Andrew Schulz
I don't even think about it. In an airplane, I'm like, man, we are going around, around, around.
Akash Singh
Not flat at all.
Andrew Schulz
Not flat at all. I agree. But you think that it's flat.
Akash Singh
It's not flat.
Mark Gagnon
It could be. He gives a leash to the idea.
Andrew Schulz
You give a leash to the idea that it's flat.
Akash Singh
Well, it is. It is measurably flat in our existence on the Earth.
Andrew Schulz
The glass is thick on the airplane, so it makes it look round from.
Al
Our POV on the plane.
Dove
I get it.
Akash Singh
It's. It's experientially flat, but it's not actually flat in actuality.
Andrew Schulz
That's true.
Dove
I wish he was sick.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, right. I'm getting more sick listening.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, yeah. Akash almost d died this week.
Mark Gagnon
So did Al.
Andrew Schulz
I gave it to him. Sick.
Dove
I got the Akashic bird flu. Thank you.
Mark Gagnon
I did tell you not to hug me. Alan wanted to hug everybody. Fine.
Akash Singh
So contagious.
Andrew Schulz
You got some real to, like, cry about what you're going through during these wildfires. Like, nobody cares about your little pneumonia. I was like, oh, pneumonia.
Mark Gagnon
I think I'm the real victim.
Andrew Schulz
You are the real victim.
Akash Singh
Can you share what you're saying about the wildfires?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. So we, My wife and I keep talking about getting out of New York.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
We've been looking at stuff in la, the house that we had been looking at the whole time. Like, this is fucking great piece of property. Yesterday just got cleared off of Compass. Not for sale, not for rent. That shit burned to the ground and that. Crazy. And I remember like a week. A week ago being like, it's so fucking cold.
Akash Singh
New York.
Mark Gagnon
This is God's way of telling Us to leave. Go to California.
Andrew Schulz
So legit. Burned down.
Mark Gagnon
Burned down.
Andrew Schulz
I told you they were real, the fires.
Akash Singh
I know it said they were real. I think they're real. No, I saw it on Google.
Mark Gagnon
No, I thought they were arson. Yeah, well, that is also by the Resnicks.
Akash Singh
Blackrock in Blackrock also.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Akash Singh
Akash was really caught up about this.
Mark Gagnon
I was really. I mean, I'm the real victim, dude.
Andrew Schulz
I mean.
Mark Gagnon
And I got the flu.
Andrew Schulz
Can't catch a break this week.
Mark Gagnon
Why not?
Akash Singh
Why?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, but I like that you wore the shirt that guarantees you will not have bunched up shoulders. Yeah, yeah, bro. The comments were. That was majestic, bro.
Akash Singh
They said you look like the shrugged head guy from Beetlejuice.
Andrew Schulz
That was the best one.
Mark Gagnon
There's so many.
Andrew Schulz
That was the best one. 100.
Mark Gagnon
There's so good ones.
Andrew Schulz
SHOUTS Anyway, yeah.
Dove
Is it too early to say there's going to be like some available property in LA soon?
Mark Gagnon
I've been trying to figure that out, to be honest with you.
Dove
Like, when is the time?
Andrew Schulz
One of the first questions I asked Jason, how quickly are y'all going to buy up this dirt? And he was like. And this is what he said. He goes, it's uninsurable, not worth it. And that is going to be the issue is that now that there are wildfires that run through every year or whatever it is, and you don't know when this kind of stuff is going to happen. The insurance companies are going to go, ah, it's not worth it. And then the only people can buy the homes are people who can buy them all cash and self insure. I mean, so housing prices.
Al
Or it becomes an affordable area because the Fair Plan only insures up to $3 million.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, is that like the government's natural disaster?
Al
That's when they were canceling State Farm.
Andrew Schulz
Other plans.
Al
So you only had the Fair Plan plus like little other umbrellas you could have done.
Andrew Schulz
But yeah, if that's your cap, what.
Mark Gagnon
If you just buy land and wait for California or for LA to go Republican now?
Andrew Schulz
We're going to be fine once these people start. Because a lot of these people whose houses are gone, like, they never built a house, they maybe renovated one a little bit or they bought an existing house. Once you start building a house in California, you deal with the bureaucracy that that is in place. All these people are going to go, man, fuck the Democrats, fuck leftist shit. Like, open it up, turn this shit into Texas or Florida.
Dove
You don't think they're going to streamline the shit because there's so many.
Andrew Schulz
So, so here's the thing. If you. If it's now okay to streamline. Why the fuck was there a streamline before? Why are you hamming up all these people?
Dove
No, no, I mean in terms of building back. Like they got less regulations just because we have to build this shit back.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. So then they will. And then people realize, oh, wow, the housing shortage goes away quickly when you actually make it possible for people to build out here. So either way, I think that people start going, all right, I think we're done with the leftist policies.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, progressivism is dead.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dead.
Akash Singh
And then after this fire, does that not mean that there won't be another fire for a while? Like if this is basically a controlled burn that took down all like the brush and does that buy 10 years?
Andrew Schulz
That's a good question.
Akash Singh
The worst fire that's ever happened.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like brush grows like that.
Akash Singh
Yeah. How fast is brush that?
Dove
What's brush?
Andrew Schulz
It's brush.
Akash Singh
It's brush. It's like no dry brush that.
Andrew Schulz
It was brush.
Al
It was 80 to 100 mile per hour.
Andrew Schulz
Wind was the perfect direction.
Al
It was just a absolute nightmare.
Dove
Perfect attack. Man made, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Maybe. I mean there were people lighting it up. But that's the other thing that's like the reaction to this. It's funny, like the Luigi Mangioni stuff. The reaction was people like supportive of Luigi and some people made it about him being good looking. I don't think it was about him being good looking at all. That helps. It helps because it's a little funnier to support it because you can pretend you're doing it because he's so handsome. But like the undercurrent is really that evil CEO.
Mark Gagnon
Yep.
Andrew Schulz
They're the hats. I'm the have not.
Mark Gagnon
We've all been by insurance and this is health insurance. So it's life and death. They play with your life. Same thing with this. Housing, housing. Insurance companies are going to try to not pay out all these people.
Andrew Schulz
CEOs better get security.
Mark Gagnon
Yo, that was one of your texts, like right as it was happening. And if another if it house like a State Farm Insurance CEO gets aced out, you think people are going to give a fuck? We're not going to give a fuck. We're going to be like, that's what's up. There you go.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, this is, this is like. I think we've talked about this before, but you know, for the billionaire class. Right?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Or the hundreds of millionaires, like the people who actually kind of control things and make decisions throughout history. You got to make sure that the poorest people have enough to, to live. They can't be below the poverty line. Because if they're below the poverty line with no hope, like they feel like there's no way out, they're going to kill you.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And that's history. Right. It's. Every revolution has started because of that. Right. So I think what you're seeing right now is there are a lot of people below the power line. They feel no hope whatsoever. And they're maybe not going out and killing the CEO, but they are celebrating it or having zero empathy for it. And unfortunately with the fires, the way that the media has portrayed it is it's just kind of Malibu and the Palisades and every time you turn on Fox or cnn, they're like this famous person's house burned down.
Mark Gagnon
What are you doing?
Andrew Schulz
Stop talking. The famous people's houses that burned down. Talk about the school. What's that neighborhood, Altadena, they're talking about. It's just like talk about the poor people who are renting. They no longer have a house and all their family heirlooms are done.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Or they put all their money into this house. They don't have a lot of money. But you got, you got a house in California that's going to appreciate now that's gone. Insurance not paying out.
Andrew Schulz
Also just the idea, like if you don't have anything, hearing someone's house that they own burn down, didn't the knee jerk reaction is to not have empathy for that? Because you're like, I don't even have a house to burn down.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like you're immediately putting, putting us in this position of have, have nots. Nobody's talking about like all the landscapers that no longer have work because their entire neighborhood and area that they landscape is melted. Right. There's a lot of people who are fucked because of this. I think the best like portrayal of it is just like, what did you lose in the house? People can relate to that.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You know, I lost all the pictures of my daughter. I lost all the pictures of my family. I lost these family heirlooms. Like I would be sad if I lost those things. But when you talk about $40 million Malibu house, also don't even talk about the Malibu house. Don't even bring that shit up that exists or doesn't exist. Nobody want to hear about it. Yeah. Because nobody lives only in Malibu. That's your second, third, fourth house. It's $50 million. Nobody gives a right now just point that at Altadena, point that at those families. Where are they staying? Are they in motels? Do they have clothes? Like what do the kids do? The kids go to school. That's the only way to get it. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You're also so desensitized, like just in general. Like you just see wars everywhere and then you see someone lost a house, you're like, well it's not as bad as the thing I saw two weeks ago.
Andrew Schulz
It's crazy because you don't hear about the like it's death toll also.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
When you hear 20 people died, 25 people died, you're like first of all it's tragic, obviously 25 people died, but that's like half a school shooting.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, we're desensitized to 25. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like it's crazy. Like so to us, when you hear all this damage, it's almost like if you resent the people who have and the this like super wealthy class of people, if you resent them, it's almost like the perfect tragedy because you're like wait a minute. So all the billionaires houses got burned down and few people died. Thank you. Amazing. Great. This tapped into that resentment that I had and made me feel good. Now you guys know the pain.
Dove
Yeah, I don't know. I feel like there's an overwhelming support for what's going on over there.
Mark Gagnon
I think there's an undercurrent of this, but I largely do feel a lot of that. But I do think there's an undercurrent of people that are easily written off.
Andrew Schulz
No, there's some comment sections that are.
Al
Crazy and also Palisades. Think about there's also people that have lived there. An 80 year old is not going to take the time to rebuild and start over again. Versus or it's that first couple. This is their first dream house, their first like their kids schools burned down, they gotta adjust.
Dove
This is tragic.
Andrew Schulz
So much like palace as well was.
Al
Like a real enclave of like low like locals. Like that was a dream neighborhood that was actually pretty well balanced.
Andrew Schulz
Of course, really rich homes.
Al
But it's tragic I think, I think.
Andrew Schulz
LA is rallying behind it and there's a lot of support in la, but I think outside of la and especially if you're a person who doesn't really have much and you're seeing like a celebrity post a GoFundMe for one of their friends, the knee jerk reaction is like, well why don't you fund it? It, you know, you're a celebrity, you probably got hundreds of millions of dollars, which they don't. Yeah, but you think they do. So I, and I think I looked at some of these comment sections also. Like, making it about Gaza is just like, bro, the comments like this is gone every day. It's like nobody asked. We're talking about California right now. Talk about la.
Dove
Yeah, but I don't like the left right stuff going on either. Right.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You're saying like the politicization of the event that.
Dove
And also some people on a certain side are like, oh, you know what, we're going to hold funding until they agree to a whole bunch of other stuff. And I'm like, yo, when something this tragic happens, you just throw the money at it and let's just get everybody in a good place before you try to bring politics into this bullshit.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I mean, I'm not against bringing politics in.
Dove
Why?
Andrew Schulz
Because politicians make decisions that they have to be accountable for. But I'm supportive of being critical of politicians on both sides. So if these politicians are withholding funding simply to leverage the tragedy, let's be critical of that. If these politicians over here withheld funding to the fire department, withheld funding to the things that clear the brush and withheld or had some policy that affected the amount of water that could be in their reservoirs, hold them accountable for that. Right. I think that political decisions have influenced this event. So I think we got to hold those people accountable. And please believe when politicians make decisions that benefit the city or the state or the country, they love to take that credit. This is my economy. Even Barack, the best. It was my economy that he inherited.
Dove
I guess there's just no right time to talk about those things. But it's just like when you in the middle of the tragedy, like, let's just focus on helping the people.
Mark Gagnon
I think your anger needs an explanation. How the fuck did this happen? Now? Apparently, like you guys said, it's a lot of confluence of events. That's crazy. Hurricane level winds with the fire with the dry, the drought, blah, blah, blah. But at some point you also got to look at how the there, it can't be perfectly planned. The city, all the money was spent correctly, et cetera, et cetera. And then everything happened. And then we do feel like politicians don't really take accountability. It doesn't feel like Gavin Newsom is saying, you know what, I take responsibility for what I've done, blah, blah, blah. It seems like they're just like, let me make sure I get reelected again. Let me make sure I look okay out of this. And then you look at that, and you get grossed out because you're angry looking at this. You feel bad for those people. There's a perfect outlet. There's a human being who fucks something up and isn't taking accountability. That guy.
Andrew Schulz
I also think that it's an outlet for their frustration that preceded this. So it's like, if you have frustration about homelessness, if you have frustration about legislation, if you have frustration about the city, the crime rates in the city, you had all this frustration about LA, but at the same time, it's 75 every single day. You got a job, you're still getting paid, you got a nice house. You're like, all right, let me not, you know, cry about this right now. Then this happens, and it looks like there's an aptitude on behalf of the government, and you're like, all right, you know what? You. You guys all got to get out of here. So I think it's. It's not the straw that broke the camel's back. There's a lot of straw right here. But it is indicative of a greater problem.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And I think it's a frustration with government in general and, like, progressive leadership. Yeah.
Akash Singh
People are mad at Mayor that. She was in Ghana.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
You see that?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Wait, I think she left before the fires.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Like, she was there already, which just what a stressful.
Andrew Schulz
I should have knew it was going to be a fire. Who should have knew it was going to be windy that day?
Mark Gagnon
You know what's crazy, though, is when they're interviewing her after she. It's right after she gets off the plane, but she just says nothing and then leaves. Yeah, the. The dead silence was crazy.
Andrew Schulz
You're mayor.
Akash Singh
Why are you going if you're.
Al
She's also promised not to do these international trips before.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, really?
Mark Gagnon
That's a problem?
Andrew Schulz
She can't take vacation. Vacation? She was at the inauguration of the.
Al
New president of Ghana.
Andrew Schulz
Like, why does she need to be in.
Al
Because before, she was on some committee that would send leaders out there.
Andrew Schulz
I'm like, you're the mayor now.
Al
You have one job.
Mark Gagnon
All right, guys. Also, we got some dates. First of all, I apologize to everybody in Tampa, we had to reschedule. The new dates are April 10th through 13th, by the way, I know some of you guys bought tickets not from the website, and they're giving you a hard time with refunds. I'm sorry, guys. I do. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I don't know what I can. But from now on. Please buy your tickets directly from the website link on my website site. But in the meantime, I got shows coming up. January 23rd through 25th. We sold out all the shows in Sacramento. We had an eighth and ninth show on Sunday. So we're doing nine shows now. Guys, we're killing it. January 26th, January 31st through February 1st, we're going to be in West Des Moines, Iowa. Again. I cannot believe there's a West Des Moines. February 21st and 22nd, I'm going to be in Brea. Those tickets are selling out to. Hurry up and buy those. February 27th through March 1st, I'm going to be at Zany's in Nashville. All those dates and a bunch more getting added to my website. Akash Singh.com Omaha, Columbus coming through. I'm gonna see you guys. Denver, I'm coming back through for 420. Doing another high show. But guys, buy your tickets. They're selling the fuck out. Akash Singh dot com. Love y'all. See y'all soon.
Andrew Schulz
Are there Ghanaians in Atlanta? I think there's a big G. We don't have it.
Dove
If there was no fire, no one would be saying shit. Come on, it's not that big of a deal. Let her take a trip or two.
Mark Gagnon
Not saying a fucking word when you get off the plane is insanity.
Dove
Now we're talking about.
Andrew Schulz
Dude, what is that line? Yeah, yeah. If my aunt had wheels, she would be a bicycle. There's a lot of ifs here. But the reality is she went on a trip internationally. She didn't have to go on. It was indulgent and it coincided with the worst tragedy in Los Angeles in history. And, you know. Yeah.
Akash Singh
What is LA's relationship with Ghana? Like, why do they need, like, good.
Mark Gagnon
She want to go to Ghana.
Andrew Schulz
She want to go to Ghana. Yo. She want the government to pay for it. Simple as that.
Dove
It's the place to go.
Andrew Schulz
There's no fire in Ghana. There's no wind in Ghana.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And the wind warnings. Where is she before she left them Trip. Listen, they're going to try to find people accountable. Isn't none of these people, like, wanted this to happen? These people made the win happen. But there might have been decisions that made the situation worse and you can hold them accountable for that. And I don't think that's politicizing it.
Mark Gagnon
No. Now withholding the funding is.
Andrew Schulz
That's corny.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
And that is politicizing and that's hurting people's lives.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So you're actively hurting their Lives. If that is happening, they should be criticized for that too.
Akash Singh
People do this with Ted Cruz when he left to go to Cancun.
Mark Gagnon
I hate him still to this day. Fuck him.
Akash Singh
But have you ever had to cancel a family vacation? And you know how stressful it is. Like. Like, think about also his perspective, like, having to tell your wife and kids, like, hey, we're not going to Cancun.
Mark Gagnon
No, no, it wasn't a planned family vacation, dude. He escaped Texas because governmental failure from Texan politics that are like, hey, we don't want to share the energy grid with the rest of the country because we are our own country. So we just have our own energy grid. And then the whole fucking power shut down throughout the state. Since he had no power, he's like, well, I'm out, out. I'm leaving the dogs. I'm going to Cancun on the only flight out of here.
Akash Singh
Oh, really?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. That's why I Ted Cruz forever. And you're a Republican for that. And I don't care. Like, this is a very easy thing to do. I don't understand how we can't both just do it.
Akash Singh
Why is he politicizing this?
Dove
Bro.
Mark Gagnon
Right there, quick fight. Boom. I get in and out.
Akash Singh
There wasn't like a mayor of Cancun getting inaugurated or something. It might have been political. He might have been going to see Bad Bunny or do something.
Mark Gagnon
I don't know that guy. And then you standing on the tarmac having nothing to say when your city's on fire.
Akash Singh
What if she's your city? What if she just sprinted? What if she just got off the plane, just full sprint?
Mark Gagnon
And then she better be running like a Ghanaian.
Akash Singh
She better picked up some speed, then it'd be fun. I don't even understand. They interviewed her and she was just.
Mark Gagnon
Like, dude, dead silent, looking down. It was crazy.
Akash Singh
What do you want to say? What is she supposed to say?
Dove
Like, let her have her prepared answers.
Mark Gagnon
You had a whole international flight to prepare answers.
Andrew Schulz
She was my flat.
Dove
That's too much.
Akash Singh
Yeah. You just made him sick again, bro.
Andrew Schulz
So what ends up happening?
Akash Singh
Well, did you see the reservoir wasn't filled up?
Andrew Schulz
Somebody press in, knew some about that.
Akash Singh
The woman, the mom?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I mean, that's the funniest lady in the world. That woman runs the pta.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, like.
Akash Singh
Like, it's the Marines, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Did you see her?
Akash Singh
She goes, governor Newsom, you need to call the president. Where's Biden? And she's like. He's like, I'm gonna call him.
Mark Gagnon
I have no cell service.
Akash Singh
And he goes. She goes, put me on the phone with the President.
Andrew Schulz
I love it. I love.
Akash Singh
Imagine you're watching your mom on tv.
Andrew Schulz
Like. No, she's trying to talk to the president. Excuse me, Mayor. Yeah, that's what you need. That's Mayor energy right there. That gets shit done, bro. She's demanding to talk to the president.
Akash Singh
Of the United States.
Mark Gagnon
That Mayor Karen is way better than this.
Andrew Schulz
Mayor Karen. Can y'all explain to me this smelt thing? The fish?
Mark Gagnon
No. Oh, yeah.
Akash Singh
Oh, the jet fuel. It can't melt them, so people think it controls demolition. Is that. What are you. Is that what you're driving?
Andrew Schulz
I just fucking hate them. Like, apparently, there's no water because they're trying to protect the smell.
Mark Gagnon
God damn.
Andrew Schulz
Dude. Dude.
Dove
What?
Akash Singh
Shower. I. Deodorant. No, smell me.
Andrew Schulz
Smell me, smell me. I can't even laugh on you the way I laugh on you because you smell so horrible.
Mark Gagnon
No.
Andrew Schulz
How bad did he smell? You're sick, bro.
Akash Singh
Don't even touch me.
Andrew Schulz
But it goes through that smell.
Akash Singh
Smell.
Dove
I can't smell.
Andrew Schulz
I put on deodorant before, specifically.
Akash Singh
Bro, come on.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, you've been wearing that color palette for a month. I just thought it was similar types of clothing. Same thing from yesterday.
Akash Singh
It was white when I bought it. Oh, God.
Andrew Schulz
All right, so what were we just saying? The penis reservoir. Explain this fish shit. Like, everybody's like, we could have. I think it was Trump and Rogan who maybe started this conversation, but basically they could have taken water from. I don't know if it's Northern California or even Canada.
Al
I think it's from up there to protect. It's a threatened fish. And instead of diverting it to reservoir.
Andrew Schulz
They diverted it to the ocean instead of bringing it to the reservoirs in an effort to protect the fish.
Mark Gagnon
Right.
Dove
I heard it wouldn't have made a difference.
Andrew Schulz
That's what I'm trying to get to. It feels so easy. The big thing was an empty. But what kind of fish is it little.
Dove
It's like a. Nah, it is, but it's like. It just dictates the healthiness of your ocean if that particular fish is around. It's one of the indicators that you have, like, a healthy. The environment, some.
Akash Singh
Oh, the delta smelt.
Dove
Trump is also, you know, he's having fun right now. Really having fun.
Andrew Schulz
Talk to me.
Dove
He's just saying whatever the he wants to say. Like, all. Even the last week. The Gulf of America.
Andrew Schulz
I love it.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, dog him. And when we had that. Progressivism is dead. Conversation. It was based on me seeing him and Barack chopping it up at the funeral. Yeah, it was also very funny. And I was like, oh, it's. We're all done with all this progressive shit.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Trump is about to dominate them.
Andrew Schulz
Is about to be popping. No, I think the Dems are going to come back strong.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
They just need somebody that's engaging. And the problem is all these people that are exist within the system right now are kind of indoctrinated by the Dem policy and the Dem rhetoric. So I don't think it's going to be one of these people that we're seeing or that we've seen for the last like eight years at least. Yeah, I think it's got to be a new voice that pops up that's a rejection of that, but isn't all the way, right.
Dove
Yo, what's crazy? I took a sniff of him and he just cleared my sinuses.
Akash Singh
Mark's VapoRub, bro. That's what I do.
Andrew Schulz
I got you. That's crazy.
Dove
Yo, you need to bottle that up, cbs, bro.
Akash Singh
Trump released the official audio.
Dove
This guy, he don't give a. It's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Brock, very nice to see you.
Dove
Congratulations.
Andrew Schulz
So how you doing? I'm a lot better, dad.
Dove
Hell, I bet knew you'd win.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, really? Well, come on. You know what I realized? Hillary still hates me so much. I know she'll never forget.
Dove
I mean, damn.
Andrew Schulz
He's just. I think so, too. We can definitely, definitely set something up. Let me know. Whatever. I was going tomorrow for the girls.
Dove
Okay, watch this move. So she's supposed to go first, but she didn't want to be right in front of Trump, so she makes her husband go around.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, wow.
Akash Singh
Oh, he just eyeing her down, bro. Come on.
Dove
Did you see that?
Andrew Schulz
She won't even look at me. Really? I was some of her people. Apparently they said she fell off the wagon.
Mark Gagnon
I think she actually may have.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, all time just person.
Dove
He don't give a.
Andrew Schulz
Is it refreshing?
Mark Gagnon
It's fun, dude.
Andrew Schulz
It is refreshing.
Mark Gagnon
It's fun for sure.
Andrew Schulz
We need to have a nice few years without giving a for us to go, hey, maybe we should give a a little bit.
Akash Singh
Do you know what I mean?
Dove
I hope you're right.
Mark Gagnon
I was actually bad about this. Except for she fell off the wagon.
Andrew Schulz
Was she sober?
Mark Gagnon
I don't think so. I think that was like one of the rumors that, you know, they just start throwing shit out there. Trump is demented, Comma's an alcoholic, almost on coke. They're just doing all these things. So I think that's a reference to that. But that's outside of that. Everything else is just funny.
Akash Singh
I mean, other the fact that it's not real.
Dove
The president.
Andrew Schulz
Who cares?
Mark Gagnon
It's funny. We forget funny, don't. We ain't at the ethos of this podcast. Y'all forgot podcast are you on?
Andrew Schulz
It's the best. It is the best. I hope.
Dove
I hope it's good.
Akash Singh
I mean, you see old, old Bush tapping up his boy. This.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, that was sick, dude.
Akash Singh
This one right here, this is the funniest thing. What do you mean? Just frat star, like, w. Just walking in, seeing his. His homie, yo, what's up? Play. Like, that's how he greets the other president.
Dove
That's fire. I didn't see that one.
Andrew Schulz
Guys, hop off his dick. Gas fire. The little cap to the tummy. The Diddy on Justin Bieber Church. That's fire. Yo, hop off his dick. That's fine. He's saying the same about Trump 10 years from now. Yeah, he was, actually.
Dove
I mean, if he did with some swag, that was a little swag with him.
Akash Singh
Yo, what's up, my. Like, that's exactly what it was. He said it like they had just been hanging out. He yapping up because, like, him and.
Dove
The wife, they hang out all the time.
Akash Singh
That would be the best part.
Andrew Schulz
What, buying TikTok?
Akash Singh
Nope. After being president and just hanging with the other presidents, being like, yo, that shit was fucking crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Wasn't it wild?
Akash Singh
Like, that would be the most fun part.
Andrew Schulz
We got to learn something. I kind of think that they don't really learn that much. I don't think there's that much new information they have that we don't. Because what. I mean, necessarily because Trump would have said it. I don't think he's capable of keeping his mouth shut.
Mark Gagnon
I think if it's gun to your head, which it literally probably is.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, they already tried that on him. They tried gun to his head.
Mark Gagnon
I think Secret Service is like, we will get you. We're here 24 hours a day.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
You leak with some of this shit. We will get you.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, I understand your point, and I'd like to validate it so you feel fulfilled.
Akash Singh
Thank you.
Mark Gagnon
Thank you. You're such a good partner.
Andrew Schulz
Now I'm going to give an example why I think you're completely. No, that's not fair.
Mark Gagnon
You can't do that. Then you're gaslighting.
Andrew Schulz
Damn, bro, I'd be practicing horrible Communication. Three times a week. When I come in and do podcast, that's literally all we do is disagree to give examples and metaphors. Wow. Anyway, is that why there's no female podcast?
Mark Gagnon
Is that why there's no female podcast?
Andrew Schulz
There's really none. It's so funny how many people. Well, who is it' Call her daddy.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, Cancelled.
Andrew Schulz
What's canceled?
Mark Gagnon
The. What's their. What's their names?
Dove
You're so gay knowing this.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I know this.
Andrew Schulz
It's only true crime. True Crime is the only female podcast.
Dove
Horrible decisions.
Andrew Schulz
Horrible decisions.
Mark Gagnon
You're so gay for knowing that.
Andrew Schulz
But they're gay.
Dove
They're gay.
Andrew Schulz
So it's half guy.
Dove
It is half.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, it's true.
Mark Gagnon
It's.
Andrew Schulz
I don't even consider that fully female.
Dove
Yeah, there's too much alpha going on in literally.
Mark Gagnon
Briana Chicken Fried had a pod, had.
Andrew Schulz
To shut it down. Second she started disagreeing with her friend. They're like, oh, we can't possibly have a podcast over do that. I'm like, that's when it gets hot. I just don't. There's no female podcast for this reason. This type of conversation just doesn't exist. Girls gotta eat.
Akash Singh
Giggly squad. That's one.
Mark Gagnon
Giggly squad.
Andrew Schulz
Giggly squad of shouts.
Dove
Oh, I like.
Akash Singh
I like Mel Robbins, the number three podcast in the world.
Andrew Schulz
Guys, I was making more of like a loose comment, but notice how you guys are disagreeing and giving examples and it's creating really fun moment for the pod. This is what we have to get women to understand.
Akash Singh
We need to validate you. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Can you validate me? What does that even feel like?
Akash Singh
The president knows as much as us. There you go. I agree.
Andrew Schulz
You die. Wait, what? Why? I can't believe you said that. I'm agreeing with smelling arms.
Akash Singh
I'm agreeing with big old dude. Call me that.
Andrew Schulz
You smell fish fell. Go B. Some SM disgust me. The delta.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, my God.
Andrew Schulz
Had enough?
Akash Singh
Yes. The president doesn't know this. All the stuff.
Andrew Schulz
I'm being dead serious right now. I think he knows, like, I think they tell him, like, if you're allowed to park there during the day, like, I think he got an app that's like, oh, they'll give you a ticket where like the rest of us, we gotta read the sign. I think that's the extent of the information that he has over us at this point right now.
Akash Singh
And even that's getting mitigated. Have you seen that AI app? You can just take a picture of a sign, it tells you if you can park There. That's how lazy we've gotten. What? Yeah, there's no way there's an app. Like, people don't want to read a sign, so they just take a picture of. And then the app's like, nah, you can't park.
Andrew Schulz
What do you mean, don't want to? We read it, but it's incredibly complicated.
Mark Gagnon
It's so confusing. I mean, it'll say, no parking Tuesday, Saturday, 8am to 2pm and then right below it, no parking anymore, anytime. And you'll be like, well, what the does that mean? Why'd you even have the top sign?
Akash Singh
That is a good point. That is a good point.
Andrew Schulz
You feel validated when he said, okay, you don't feel better when your boy frustrates, is frustrated, like, tries to create an argument. It's not as good. That's like a way better form of communication, don't you think?
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Andrew Schulz
All right, so, yeah, I just don't think that he has that much more information. Do you really think that he knows the Epstein lists outside of being there, outside of being on the island, like, frequently and, like, experiencing what that underage pun? I'mma not validate this one.
Mark Gagnon
I'mma not validate this one.
Andrew Schulz
Yo.
Akash Singh
What?
Andrew Schulz
You don't think he was dabbling in a smell you Delta smell?
Akash Singh
Yeah, that was that.
Andrew Schulz
That underage pun. Come on, Al. I don't think he under girls, bro. I don' think he was getting after that. You guys think he was that smell. That.
Akash Singh
That.
Mark Gagnon
That's a Delta smell.
Akash Singh
Delta smell. That's why LA's on fire, cuz.
Mark Gagnon
That is bait when you go fishing.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that's why I think lose that.
Andrew Schulz
I agree.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, you're right.
Andrew Schulz
That sucks, right? Yeah, it sucks to do this. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Give me one thing. You think he knows that we don't? No.
Akash Singh
No.
Andrew Schulz
JFK assassination. Yeah, there's no way. Yeah, there's no way.
Mark Gagnon
I believe he knows.
Andrew Schulz
He would tell everyone the second he sat down with us. He was like, iran did it.
Dove
I think because we did it. He don't want to point that out.
Andrew Schulz
Wait, what would I say that again?
Mark Gagnon
We did.
Dove
Could have been like government, CIA.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, so he was protecting them.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, probably under threat.
Al
I think he'll talk after this round.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, that's also true. He needed. He needed a win.
Dove
He doesn't want his head to really go shot off.
Andrew Schulz
I agree with.
Akash Singh
I don't know if they give him historical files.
Andrew Schulz
Can you just not start the sentence with I agree with?
Mark Gagnon
Just see, thought exercise.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah. Don't tell me you agree.
Mark Gagnon
I don't feel comfortable when you see that.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I disagree with you. I don't think they tell them the historical files.
Andrew Schulz
I think they.
Akash Singh
I think they just tell him what's going on right now. They say, hey, Russia's trying to kill everybody. Yeah, that's what you got to know. And he goes, what about jfk? And they go, why are you bringing up.
Andrew Schulz
But what about Pearl Harbor? Did that even happen? Did that happen? Do you guys honestly think that happened? I think I've made this joke before.
Mark Gagnon
Walk me through it.
Andrew Schulz
They were trying to land, right? Like they were trying to land the planes. And that's. They just had never done it successfully, right? Like, oh, my God. That wasn't an attack.
Akash Singh
It was tourism.
Mark Gagnon
Kamikaze is just like fucking Japan Air trying to get.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, they're just trying to land the planes.
Dove
That's funny.
Andrew Schulz
And they just haven't figured that out yet. Societally. They were running on shingled roofs for 2,000 years. Then you come on plane, you're going to land it. They can't even say Wright Brothers.
Akash Singh
That was respectful.
Mark Gagnon
Hey, thanks.
Andrew Schulz
You did in the most respectful way.
Akash Singh
Yeah, thank you.
Andrew Schulz
Do you have good color in your cheeks? I feel like you look good.
Mark Gagnon
Hey, thanks, man.
Akash Singh
This is the best you've looked in years. For real?
Andrew Schulz
I mean, no, for real. You do look great.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, I need to be sick more often.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And thanks for not coughing into your hands. That genuinely bugs me. If I see someone sneezing their hands.
Andrew Schulz
You need to shut up about how.
Akash Singh
That is a real thing. That's real, you nerd. No, I'm not contagious, cuz if I smell.
Andrew Schulz
Tell them out. What the hell is that? That's grandma out right there. Grandma Al. He's got some nerve boy coming around my house telling me I can't cough in my hands. I had these hands for 93 years. I cough in whatever hand I want, right? Yo, nurse is crazy.
Mark Gagnon
Nurse.
Andrew Schulz
Old granny. I like grandma out. That's fire.
Dove
Yeah, but you stink.
Andrew Schulz
No, I don't, I don't.
Akash Singh
I put on Old Spice before this, bro. Come on. My best.
Dove
Yes, I did. That's cancerous. You wouldn't put that on. You put beef towel.
Mark Gagnon
Do you not.
Andrew Schulz
Do not do it because of the. Someone told you it's cancerous.
Akash Singh
Well, I don't want the aluminums right on my lymph nodes.
Dove
Exactly.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, he's that.
Dove
He is so Williamsburg to the core.
Andrew Schulz
Like.
Akash Singh
No, I use natural. I use that. I. I Take like the essential oils.
Andrew Schulz
And I had to stop my wife from using that natural deodorant because she smelled natural.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Andrew Schulz
See, I was like, yo, what is going on? She's like, there's a lot of hormones after pregnancy. I was like, right, Guard it. You need mail. You need mail. Something's going on with your armpits. This is. This is.
Dove
Something happened at my house. And I was like, nah, you need the aluminum.
Andrew Schulz
You need the aluminum. You gotta get the tinfoil out and wrap that arms.
Akash Singh
Yo.
Andrew Schulz
My wife would sleep like this and like with her head turned this way and be breathing that into my nose.
Akash Singh
Shoot.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, that's crazy.
Akash Singh
A natural woman. So they go full nch. And then you're like, whoa, who wants a natural woman?
Andrew Schulz
Illusion.
Akash Singh
See a girl with a BBL and huge tits and everyone's like, oh, I want a natural.
Andrew Schulz
They haven't figured the bbls out, but the rest of the they figured out.
Dove
They figured out.
Andrew Schulz
Filler's good.
Dove
The baby bbls.
Andrew Schulz
Show me a baby BBL that works.
Akash Singh
The thing is that I'm not googling that crazy. I'm not even getting close to my computer right now.
Dove
That is already.
Andrew Schulz
Type in baby. And let's see the next three letters that come on afterwards.
Dove
It's going to be good.
Akash Singh
You guys, what do you think?
Andrew Schulz
All right.
Dove
Yes, we do think that about.
Akash Singh
All right, ready? Here we go. Baby.
Andrew Schulz
Put. Baby bbl. No, just put it. If somebody actually created a website for that. That's a disgusting.
Akash Singh
Bbl. Baby is a hip hop song by Cash Patek.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like that's the CIA director.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Akash Singh
Yeah. No, there's a mini bbl. That's what they call them in the biz.
Mark Gagnon
I got a pee.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, I can see how al that up. The issue. The issue. If we're actually going to discuss bbls on this, you know, high bar podcast. What is it? High brow podcast is the hip hips. They can't get the hips right. And then they try this.
Dove
That's nice.
Andrew Schulz
That's the same ass.
Dove
That's what the baby ones are. It's more about shape thing is not trying to get it too crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. If you already got ass, you're not part of the discussion.
Dove
No, they added some ass. There's some ass that was added there, clearly. Oh, that's nice.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, that. That one's good.
Dove
That's what I'm saying. The baby BBL is the new.
Andrew Schulz
But that girl already got ass. I think what they can do is they can take girls that have ass and move it around so it looks better.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
What I don't think they can do is take the girls have no ass and then add an ass on it without the hips.
Dove
Yeah, it looked. Yeah, it does look funny.
Andrew Schulz
But why haven't they figured that out yet? Why is the ass so much more difficult than tits or jaw or nose or all these other things?
Akash Singh
I sometimes don't think it's a surgeon, bro. I think it's girls going, give me the fattest thing possible.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, so they, it's their decisions.
Akash Singh
I think it's user error a little bit.
Andrew Schulz
Really?
Dove
Cuz when it first started it was like the bigger the better. Now it was starting to look a little ridiculous and now they're just perfecting in this now and not enough people get it.
Andrew Schulz
Call me crazy right now.
Dove
Crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Thank you. If you're a BBL surgeon, do you go like if you're a tattoo artist, do you go, I refuse to do that because it reflects on me. This is what I think will work for you. If you don't want this, then you have to go to somebody else to protect your brand. Because if you see a botch BBL out there and someone's like, it's this dot doctor, Nobody's going back to that doctor.
Dove
That's true. But I don't think they turned away to any.
Andrew Schulz
Any business.
Dove
Yeah. The nature of that game is you get one thing, you just keep coming.
Andrew Schulz
It is crazy to think like doctors are in the sales business. Yeah, right.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like surgery.
Mark Gagnon
You don't need all that.
Andrew Schulz
Explain that a little bit more to me. I'm trying to think if there's something unethical about this.
Mark Gagnon
It is. I. I remember I broke my finger in college.
Andrew Schulz
I know you're not going to make this about your finger.
Mark Gagnon
Are you talking surgery? Only plastic surgery.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, why? What they say? How'd you break it?
Mark Gagnon
They said I. Exactly.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Dove
His own ass.
Andrew Schulz
It's way more complicated. No, break it down, Break it down. Break it. So, oh, you were saying he was upcharging you for a.
Mark Gagnon
Well, no, then I. So I broke. They put a little. The cast on or whatever. Then they send me to a. Like a plastic surgeon and the plastic surgeon's like, yeah, you need surgery. It's going to be $4,000. And I'm like, all right, I guess. And then my mom was like, no, that we go get a second opinion from my uncle's friend who's like a hand bone specialist and he's like, surgery is not going to fix anything. You're still going to. It's still going to look fucked up afterward. You're just going to go through pain and money. You don't need to go through. Just leave a sling on it and that's it. Or, like, leave the cast on and that's it.
Andrew Schulz
How is that not considered medical malpractice?
Mark Gagnon
That's insane.
Andrew Schulz
They tried to tell my mom that she had to get her thyroid taken out.
Mark Gagnon
That's fucking crazy.
Andrew Schulz
And they're like, yeah, you probably won't be able to have kids after that. And she was like, what?
Mark Gagnon
They tried to tell my mom she needed a hysterectomy when she was, like, 35.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Mark Gagnon
Just remove the whole ovaries.
Dove
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
The whole uterus. It's not true.
Andrew Schulz
They want to make your mom because that's why it's a hysterectomy.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Yeah. The whole uterus. Take out the whole uterus.
Andrew Schulz
What'd you do in there?
Mark Gagnon
I don't know. I must have it up, to be honest. I did damage or my dad did.
Andrew Schulz
Fat ass kid. No, for real. They. And then she said, no, no.
Mark Gagnon
She was just like, I'm not. No, I'm not doing that. Like, that seems way too extreme. And then she ended up being fine.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Mark Gagnon
It's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like that should be medical malpractice.
Mark Gagnon
It absolutely should be.
Andrew Schulz
And they're doing it just because they could charge the insurance company whatever. They get paid off of it.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, we get paid crazy money, and that's it.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Mark Gagnon
And then you're just taking out a.
Andrew Schulz
Woman'S uterus, and there's got to be some doctors that have done, like, 20 or 30 of these cases. And then women are probably complaining about her. Dudes are complaining about it now, and nobody's talking about it. Yeah, that's some scumbag right there.
Mark Gagnon
Absolutely.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I mean, that's the whole back surgery thing with the mangione.
Andrew Schulz
What happened with him?
Akash Singh
It was like, apparently there's, like, a back surgery racket that's going on.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Akash Singh
Where, like, the saying is, like, the first back surgery is unnecessary, but the second one is necessary.
Andrew Schulz
And why is that?
Mark Gagnon
Fix what the first one did.
Dove
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And that, like, they're over prescribing medical intervention on back.
Andrew Schulz
So now you're doing. You're in this back surgery loop where you just constantly. I heard that about hip, too.
Mark Gagnon
Makes sense.
Andrew Schulz
Like, I think they've. They've found some version of correcting this, but essentially, like, you want to push off hip surgery as far as you can. Because. Because it needs to be resurfaced. I think it's called, like, every 10 years. So they were just chopping off your hip and then putting, like, a fake one in place now. And I think that they have, like, a better version of it. But. Yeah. What is the balance of that?
Dove
Like, if you're dentistry, they always rush into. Pull a tooth. They're rushing to the braces.
Mark Gagnon
First time, one of the dentists in LA, they said I had 10 fillings, and I was like, I'm freaking out again. My mom was like, go get a second opinion. Guy goes. He goes, you have two. Two cavities. We need a filler. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You gotta start in your family. I feel like you know so many doctors.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Why are you going. Stop.
Akash Singh
Going outsource.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Okay. I. That.
Akash Singh
Keep it in network.
Mark Gagnon
This is all when I was in college.
Akash Singh
In network.
Mark Gagnon
Right out of college. Ever since then, I don't. Yeah. Only brown doctors. I don't trust anybody else. And I gotta know you.
Andrew Schulz
You trust the brown doctors.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Interesting.
Mark Gagnon
Shouts Omar. Omar's great.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Shouts.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
But that's it. Keep it in the family.
Akash Singh
See, this is what happened.
Dove
My doctor's bro and. Oh, well. Yeah, I guess we're both sick, so we can do that, you know, Shows you. He was like, do you work with Akashi? It's like.
Al
How do you say it?
Dove
Oh, yeah, I tried to do.
Akash Singh
Oh.
Andrew Schulz
Actually. Cool, cool Announcements. In the world of the greatest sport that's ever existed, and the only people that would disagree with it are the people that have not played it yet. And that is Paddle. The Reserve cup down in Miami. Reserve is this amazing paddle facility, but it's also a company that's, like, really being, like, the ambassadors of paddle.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And they're put on this thing called the Reserve cup in Miami. And I'm gonna go down next week, like, Wednesday through Saturday. So I'm gonna go down there, I'm gonna get to be a captain of one of the teams.
Mark Gagnon
That's sick.
Andrew Schulz
Me and Derek Jeter.
Mark Gagnon
That's so fucking sick. That's so fucking far.
Andrew Schulz
And I got. I gotta tell Derek. I gotta say, listen, winner gets a gift basket. I think that's a very fair thing.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
To pitch to him. I'm also trying to find a way to pitch that to him.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Without that being our first interaction. He's a happily married man. He's got a beautiful family. But I want a gift basket, you know, Anyway, so. So.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So that's going to be happening out there and if you want to see paddle at the highest level, if you're someone who like listen to pod, you like paddle. I think what's cool about this setup is so they have these teams that the players usually play with each other. Obviously it's a two on two sport but with this we can choose the teams through a lottery. So we can. The team could be different and could be teams that have never been.
Mark Gagnon
So it could be you and like a pro player.
Andrew Schulz
Well, there's going to do like pro am. There's going to be a charity. We're going to raise some money and you know, we should give the money to the fire.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, that'd be sick.
Andrew Schulz
That would be the right thing to do.
Mark Gagnon
That's sick.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I suggested a different charity because that was before LA was on fire charity. It was, but it was still a charity. But yeah, we should actually do this.
Mark Gagnon
For 5 charity and then we decide which one's more worthy of the money.
Andrew Schulz
I was, I was going to say ivf, like fertility stuff.
Mark Gagnon
Oh yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Y man. But too bad for you guys, la's bir we got to rebuild some billionaires homes in Malibu. So anyway. But, but, but yeah, so that's going to be next week. Wednesday we're going to do the draft and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday they got the thing. So go down there and we need steak to be able to.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Gamble on, on paddle. That's what there's all these like all these guys that got money to do these like side matches where they're like putting real money on games. Really? Yeah. My thing is like I don't gamble on any. I actually enjoy doing. Yeah, because it will make it too enjoyable. Do you know how like fantasy football makes you so excited about teams you.
Akash Singh
Don'T even fucking care about?
Andrew Schulz
So I'm just like, I gotta stay away.
Akash Singh
But imagine you win a paddle game and like 10 grand.
Andrew Schulz
I don't want to even think about that. I'll quit everything. I'll tell my wife, I'll be like, I think I figured it out for the next 40 years of my life. Anyway, so the reserve cup down there, you can go get tickets. I'm sure they'll put some kind of link. But like go check it out. It's a really awesome setup and they got it catered and it's beautiful. It's right there on the water. Or go, go check it. I think you guys really like it and they are great ambassadors for paddle. Like the guys who Involved really love the sport. Yeah, like there's no money in this sport right now. It's literally people who are obsessed with it and they're putting their own money up to make these things successful. So go check it out. I think it's going to be like the premier experience and I'll be there talking shit. So if you want to, matter of fact, if you want to get a game and get that ass kicked, I'll play you with my. A pro of my selection. I'll play any two people out there in Miami as long as I have a pro of my selection on my team.
Mark Gagnon
That's very fair.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like that's fair.
Mark Gagnon
Very fair.
Andrew Schulz
I might even put some money anyway. Okay, so outside in sports that are not as interesting and not as obsessive.
Mark Gagnon
There are some pretty much more niche sports.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, let's talk about the niche. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Oh, what's that?
Mark Gagnon
The playoffs are happening right now.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, there's a playoffs. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So tell us what's going on here. Yo, do we have some interesting scenarios? Is Akash been an oracle?
Mark Gagnon
No, actually I was wrong about the Texans. I thought they, they kind of limped into the playoffs, but they beat the out. Who did they play? I forget who they played. Chargers, The Charger. They beat the shit out of him. And then the LA Rams played the Minnesota Vikings, who everybody thought was like the second best team in the conference.
Andrew Schulz
Didn't you say Vikings could make it all the way?
Mark Gagnon
That's what everybody had convinced me and I, I hadn't, I hadn't watched this guy.
Andrew Schulz
It's not your fault.
Mark Gagnon
I watched this guy, Sam Darnold. I watched him one game early in the season. He's like a. He was drafted very highly and then really struggled in the pros. And then the Vikings are winning with him as quarterback. It's kind of like a one year of the year option, but they keep winning. And then I watch one game against the Colts and he doesn't look that good, but they win. So I'm like, whatever. I, that was middle of the year. And then I keep hearing about him and they keep winning. So I'm like, maybe I just happen to watch a bad game. Maybe they're really good people are picking them to go to the Super Bowl. I haven't been watching enough.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I see him against Detroit, gets his ass beat. And then I see him this week get his ass beat again. And I'm like, well, this guy was exactly who the we all thought he was. You convinced us of something. Else, he's not that. Also, I think LA is playing for something now. They played LA and LA just throttled. So LA is playing the Eagles and I am an Eagles hater. I would love for LA to win. I don't know how long they can sustain this emotional thing.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
But I do think it's possible they have a cause that is unlike any other cause out there.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
So I think LA is a dark horse that is pretty scary in that sense.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, so you choose la.
Mark Gagnon
So I would put. I would put LA to cover. I don't know what the spread is going to be. I imagine it's going to be fairly high.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I put la. I. I hope Detroit wins. They should win. They're the seemingly best team in the league, probably. And then the afc, the best game is going to be the Ravens and the Bills. That's going to be the best game of the whole playoffs, I think, because these are two really good teams. Both quarterbacks are really good. They just can't beat Patrick Mahomes. And now they have this kind of reputation of being like playoff underachievers, but in reality they're just going up against Jordan.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
But then them two going head to head to see who could theoretically play Mahomes. It's going to be such a game.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, so what do you got?
Mark Gagnon
So great games all around. I think I'm going to go with the Bills. I. I actually think the Bills, I think this is their year. I think to go to the super bowl. And then I think the Chiefs will win. The Texans look better than I thought, but I think the Chiefs will win.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Mark Gagnon
So those, those are my picks. Also, the Cowboys coach basically just left. He just pieced.
Andrew Schulz
I thought he was. I thought he was.
Mark Gagnon
So his contract. So Jerry doesn't like paying any. Like, he wouldn't fire the coach last.
Andrew Schulz
Year he was saying that.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, Yeah, I believe. Yeah. So he just. His coach that should have been fired last year had a year left on the contract. He's like, well, instead of firing him and paying him and hiring another coach, I'll just let his contract run out and waste everybody's life for a year. And now his contract is up and they were trying to renegotiate. And the coach, from what I'm hearing, the coach was like, I'm good.
Andrew Schulz
This is Chip Kelly.
Mark Gagnon
This is Mike. Mike McCarthy.
Andrew Schulz
Sorry, Mike McCarthy. Why am I thinking Chip Kelly?
Mark Gagnon
So now the. I don't know. He's the offensive coordinator of the. Some college team. That's good. Ohio State.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Mark Gagnon
But now the. The question is, who are the Cowboys going to get to be their coach?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
There's one option that excites me.
Andrew Schulz
Dion.
Mark Gagnon
Dion.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, wow.
Mark Gagnon
Dion. I'd be.
Andrew Schulz
So I thought there was interest in the Raiders job because I think they just fired Antonio Pierce, so.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Apparently Tom Brady's trying to get. Who actually probably will be the best coach is Ben Johnson from the Lions. He's their offensive coordinator.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Mark Gagnon
Apparently Tom Brady's trying to get him. You know, it's funny. You get an owner who cares and knows how to win, things can change. But Ben John going to want 15 to 17 million a year. I don't think Jerry's going to pay that. Dion might not cost that much, but he has an $8 million buyout at Colorado. I don't know if the Cowboys owner is going to want to pay $8.
Andrew Schulz
Million in order for him to leave Colorado.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. So I don't know if that happens, but if that happened, I'd be excited. It'd be so fun. It'd be the most fun, you know?
Andrew Schulz
So what's so crazy with sports? Like, the amount of money the players are making now? $8 million is an absurd amount of money Money. Yeah, but when you said it, my knee jerk reaction was like, oh, well, why wouldn't the Cowboys just buy out?
Mark Gagnon
Well, also, the Cowboys are worth. They're the most valuable franchise in the planet.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
12 billion or whatever. So what's 8 million? But he just don't spend. He's like Donald Sterling now. He just don't spend money.
Andrew Schulz
Got it. Okay.
Mark Gagnon
Unless it's the place in St. Bart said he wants to stay up for a while, but.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, it's a great guy. He's a really great guy.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Yeah. I feel the same way when he.
Andrew Schulz
Doesn'T own your team. No, that I believe.
Mark Gagnon
That I would love.
Andrew Schulz
Phenomenal.
Mark Gagnon
And I would love.
Akash Singh
Love.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
If I was like a Commander's fan or whatever, I'd love this.
Andrew Schulz
There's nothing that makes you feel more comfortable that when a league rivals owner and GM is partying in Saint Barks before the season.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
That. That makes.
Mark Gagnon
As he has no head coach.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Anyway, look, so if you're gonna put some money down, if you're gonna take the Akash picks, you're gonna go to Stake. Stake, Obviously, the leader in global betting. US Social casinos bet on top sports and political events. Use the promo code flagrant for your new welcome bonus. Now, let's get back to the show.
Akash Singh
Keep the aluminum off your limb lymph nodes. All right? Stop using all these chemicals. Do a coffee enema once or six times a day and you'll be fine. All right. Big medicine doesn't want you to know about the coffee enema. Okay. Detox your colon.
Al
What about you holding a laptop on your balls for the last four years?
Akash Singh
Not on my balls. I keep it intentionally off my sack. And I also don't ride that low. I'm staying pretty much perched the whole time. I am. It's true. I am a little kiwi. Just.
Dove
Just do it in a tub. Like where?
Andrew Schulz
I'm trying to understand.
Akash Singh
Shower.
Mark Gagnon
I think same shower.
Andrew Schulz
So you're standing.
Mark Gagnon
Standing in the doo doo.
Akash Singh
I mean, I think it's a laying down thing.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, goodness.
Akash Singh
I think it's laying.
Mark Gagnon
But then it's getting on her back.
Andrew Schulz
Doggy. She's got her legs up.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I know. But then the. So where does the. Where does the contents go?
Al
Well, you lay with it probably down towards the drain.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
And then it's like cleaning out a jeep. Like, you got to be on the hill and then kind of just let.
Mark Gagnon
It all move out.
Akash Singh
I haven't asked. I haven't looked at. I mean, we can look into. I've been tagged in so many fucking Instagram posts.
Andrew Schulz
Show me what it looks like.
Dove
And then the, like, when there's gonna be like, chunks of poop that come out, does she gotta, like, smush it down?
Akash Singh
You got a waffle stomp a little bit, probably.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, my God.
Dove
Come on, man.
Andrew Schulz
Check your mess. Why is it up to me?
Akash Singh
No, why is it up to me?
Andrew Schulz
To make him a normal human being.
Mark Gagnon
I don't do it. I don't do it.
Akash Singh
I don't do it. Okay, here we go.
Al
Andrew did a lot of work he took out of Florida.
Andrew Schulz
You did as much as you could. We got him out.
Akash Singh
Look, we're biohacking. Look, you prepared?
Mark Gagnon
She got a French roast.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
This is crazy.
Akash Singh
You can pick the one you want. Okay. You do the French press pour over. Yeah, exactly. And then you get this little tube here.
Andrew Schulz
I've heard of people doing everything. Your liver is on your right side.
Akash Singh
So to me, laying on the right.
Andrew Schulz
Side makes a lot more sense.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Mark Gagnon
You just kind of lay bit in.
Andrew Schulz
Like, the fetal position. Your knees are tucked a little bit.
Dove
Oh, so she's side.
Andrew Schulz
Clearly, I'm not going to be showing this to you guys, so I hope this is enough of a visual for you. You're going to insert your lubricated Tip.
Mark Gagnon
All right, that part seems.
Akash Singh
Come on, that night. You have to say that part.
Andrew Schulz
I know.
Dove
She was lubing it up too.
Andrew Schulz
Did your mom have issue with constipation?
Akash Singh
I've never asked. I don't. I don't know. The. The nature.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, there must be impetus.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I've genuinely. It doesn't get discussed in the home.
Andrew Schulz
Has she ever tried just drinking coffee? Like, that's pretty effective. It works very well if the issue is constip. Patient.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I mean, she does do that. Yeah, I think she's taking it both ways.
Andrew Schulz
Just like your grandma.
Akash Singh
Crackly sprints.
Dove
Wait, how'd you find out?
Akash Singh
I just saw a giant bag in the. In the shower.
Dove
So you asked her about it?
Akash Singh
No, I asked one of my siblings, and I was like, yo, what is that bag? And they're like, oh, coffee enema. And I said, all right, well, I guess we'll never talk about that until.
Andrew Schulz
I'm on this podcast.
Akash Singh
I'll just keep that a family secret until many people watch. And here we are.
Mark Gagnon
I love this.
Andrew Schulz
She makes sounds like, do you? No. Why are you at breakfast?
Akash Singh
Why is that even part of it? She's not at the table.
Andrew Schulz
Stop, Stop.
Akash Singh
What the heck?
Andrew Schulz
I need to know what sound she makes, bro. That's important to me. With all due respect. With all due respect, I need to know his sound.
Akash Singh
No, there's no sound problem.
Andrew Schulz
To muffle it. What do you mean? Does she throw, like, the towel over her mouth and you just hear like.
Akash Singh
No, no one bites the pillow. It's not the whole thing.
Andrew Schulz
Not bite it, but like, does she try to, you know. You know in like, the Denzel movies where you throw the pillow over the mouth before you.
Akash Singh
Yes, I agree with you begrudgingly and unfortunately, Mom, I agree with you fully. Okay. I've never tried.
Mark Gagnon
You should try one for the pod, dude.
Akash Singh
They can help relieve constipation. They can detox bacteria, parasites, and heavy metals. They can boost immunity. And there's no scientific evidence that the port. All right, but anti aging also. There's anti aging. There's a whole bunch of benefits.
Andrew Schulz
Coffee enema, huh? Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I'm just saying, look into it. Your guys families are getting over prescribed.
Andrew Schulz
My mom has a different version of that. She just drinks scotch until she passes out. And that pretty much works. Drink scotch until you pass out and then fire off some gnarly email. What enema is that?
Akash Singh
That's a different purging. It's a different type of.
Andrew Schulz
Does that destroy your family dynamic?
Akash Singh
It's A different everyone needs their own thing.
Al
Okay, Got it.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
Get away from big medicine.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but that is actually really effective if you guys, have you ever tried that one? Like if your mom's struggling, just feed her scotch at four in the morning and then check your email the first thing you wake up and see who else is cc'd in it. That's, that's nice. Oh, my wife. That's cool. You definitely gotta hear these feelings.
Akash Singh
They should do that as a therapy. Everyone gets shitfaced and then they really start talking. Yeah, right. Like every therapy I've ever been in is fully sober.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And they go, that's a problem. How do you feel? And I go, I feel.
Andrew Schulz
You don't go loose to therapy.
Akash Singh
No, I should.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, I always, I'm always.
Akash Singh
Are you serious?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I be making shit up. Like you, you pregame. Oh yeah, yeah, I have a couple shots of repo and then let's purge this shit. I be making shit up too. Yeah, my fucking grandfather touched me and then three weeks later be like, yeah, my grandparents all died before I was born. Like, yeah, I was hammered.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I was hammered, bro.
Andrew Schulz
You just got to keep it interesting. Eventually you get through all your trauma and you're like, well, I don't want to let them down. They need this every week, you know?
Akash Singh
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
What would they do? What would they do, Akash, Continue to.
Mark Gagnon
Listen to you and make money?
Andrew Schulz
You think they do that? You think therapists do that at all? You think they're like trying to like, I can't fix them too quick?
Mark Gagnon
Oh yeah, let's stretch this out a little bit.
Akash Singh
I mean maybe those therapy sessions are mad short. I remember I went to one and they're like, all right, it's an hour long sesh. And they go, well, technically it's 50 minutes. And then the first eight minutes is how you doing?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And the last five minutes, debrief. So you got 30 minutes to unpack your entire life trauma.
Andrew Schulz
Isn't it funny when the time is, is about to run out and they gotta like politely start talking about some heavy.
Mark Gagnon
The two end of this. Like you see them kind of clocking and being like, oh, so that, that must have been devastating.
Andrew Schulz
So I, I don't know if we have enough time to figure this out. And you're like, I'm getting molested right now. I don't have another week to deal with this. They're, they're magnificent at buttoning it up, huh?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, we should talk to a therapist about that. What is. What is the. What is the gnarliest thing that you've had to button up because there wasn't enough time?
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah. Well, I think people also kind of do that on purpose. They see the clocks running out and they're like, all right, let me just dump some shit. And then keep it moving.
Andrew Schulz
Hell, yeah.
Akash Singh
And so they just get it all out and they're like, yeah, I talked about it. But then they don't actually work on it. Then they keep it pushing.
Dove
Sounds like that's what you do.
Akash Singh
Of course that's. You got to just dump right at the end.
Mark Gagnon
Your therapists don't just remember the next week you told me you got in the ass by the end of the session.
Andrew Schulz
How could they remember? That's the thing. No day remember. Yeah, but, like, it don't ever look like they got it. Dewey decimal. You know, they got 15 different people who are. That they're talking to every single. There's no way that those stories don't kind of cross. Yeah.
Akash Singh
I mean, that could happen.
Andrew Schulz
Have you ever had your therapist think that your story was someone else's?
Mark Gagnon
No, that would be crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Bring it up. That's crazy. And then just go in there for two months. You never did that.
Akash Singh
So you try to kill yourself. You're like, maybe, man, it was crazy. I was drunk. I don't even remember.
Andrew Schulz
I had the toaster in the oven and everything. In the oven? In the bath.
Akash Singh
That is double suicide, bro. Sylvia Platt with the toaster.
Andrew Schulz
That's crazy. Yeah, we gotta have. We gotta talk to a therapist, but I guess there's. Oh, that was the question I want to ask. Is HIPAA that rule where you basically can't share medical.
Akash Singh
What is it?
Andrew Schulz
Medical procedures or medical history? Information.
Mark Gagnon
History. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Can you share the thing that has happened and just not the person.
Mark Gagnon
I have a patient. If you ever hear doctors, I have a patient came in with.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Mark Gagnon
You just can't say who it is.
Andrew Schulz
Got it, got it, got it. Can't be too specific, because then you would know. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
A patient with back pain to kill the guy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Dove
He's a CEO.
Andrew Schulz
We're gonna know.
Akash Singh
Wait a second. Sounds familiar. But.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I also don't believe that anytime a doctor's like, oh, I have a patient that's just like a comic being like, well, today, like, oh, that's their. Today I was walking down. Really? Really.
Dove
I don't know. Behind closed doors, there's.
Mark Gagnon
Took it over to.
Andrew Schulz
They're talking about patience.
Dove
Oh, yeah, that would happen all the time.
Andrew Schulz
They're talking.
Dove
Yeah, he talks about the patients by name. Give them a nickname. Some shitty name was. I'm up, right?
Andrew Schulz
I'll be honest, when you took that breath right there, I didn't have any air left in the room. That was such a strong breath. I can't breathe for a moment. There was nothing left. I can't breathe. Yeah, that pisses me off too, when I fart in bed, but my wife gets the first smell of it.
Akash Singh
God damn.
Andrew Schulz
Like, she don't leave me.
Mark Gagnon
How greedy.
Andrew Schulz
Dude, do you guys get up?
Mark Gagnon
Do you have selfish.
Andrew Schulz
Like, I want that first smell of it. I want the first bite. Like, you know, when you get dessert, you're like, yo, let me at least get the first bite. You never have a fart. And you're like, oh, I'm ready. And then your wife is just like. And now you got the remnant, I got the crumbs, bro.
Al
What?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, like, I get pissed at her for that. She's like, why'd you fart? I'm like, why'd you take it all in? Let me take it all and there'll be nothing left for you. Can you hold your breath for two seconds? You heard it come out?
Dove
No, I get way more enjoyment of the guessing game. Like, did I fart or didn't I fart? And then if she smelled it, then I fart that time. He's like, oh, she got smell.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no. When I fart, if she thinks the neighbors are, like, moving furniture around, there's no question. Fart.
Akash Singh
That would never happen. Anytime someone farts in my house, I'm like, is this a coffee shop? Smells like a Starbucks.
Andrew Schulz
It's an espresso.
Akash Singh
It smells amazing.
Dove
You're the most curious person and you have not actually bothered about this. This is crazy. You speak to crazy people on the street every day.
Andrew Schulz
You gotta ask your mom. Yo, can we call your mom real quick and just ask her about the coffee enemas?
Akash Singh
No, no. Come on. For shits and games. That's too purse. Because then she'll be like, oh, you're talking about me.
Al
Hopefully she never watches the pod.
Akash Singh
Well, now she will.
Mark Gagnon
It's gonna come back to it.
Andrew Schulz
I honestly don't think it's that bad. I'm sure she believes in this. I don't think that she's embarrassed one bit about. Doesn't strike me as someone who does things regularly and is embarrassed by that. That's fair, right?
Akash Singh
Like, I mean, maybe. I don't know.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, we could just see how it goes and then cut it from the pot if it's something you feel uncomfortable with or she feels.
Akash Singh
We'll just see. We'll just see.
Dove
Yeah, this is going to be good.
Andrew Schulz
Cuz maybe we should all be doing it. I mean, obviously.
Dove
Yeah. She could.
Andrew Schulz
Put some coffee.
Akash Singh
I would just turn up.
Andrew Schulz
Turn up volume. We don't have volume. And then put it by your mic.
Akash Singh
I just had a question. Okay. I'm. I'm here with some. My friends. Right. And. And by no means do you have.
Andrew Schulz
Hi, Mrs. Gagnon.
Mark Gagnon
Hi, Ms. Gagnon.
Akash Singh
Everyone says hi. You don't have to talk about this. If you wouldn't.
Andrew Schulz
If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to say a singular thing. But Mark keeps talking about the coffee enemas, and we need to know what the benefits.
Akash Singh
These guys don't believe in the benefits of coffee enemas. And I said, oh, no, I think there are a lot of benefits. And I wanted to ask you, are there any benefits to coffee enemas if you're willing to talk about it?
Andrew Schulz
It increases glutathione, detoxes your liver.
Akash Singh
Detox your liver increases glutathione.
Andrew Schulz
Good things.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Glutathione, being a master antioxidant, was used, I think, originally during World War II or after.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I think before World War II for pain management.
Akash Singh
So people been doing this for 60, 70 years? Maybe even longer.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. It's not new.
Akash Singh
Not new at all.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, so now, Mrs. Gagnon, it's Schultz. How do you create the time to do it without, like, everybody knowing that that's what's happening? Why do you have to hide it? That's what. That's what I'm talking about. We knew you wouldn't be embarrassed about that.
Akash Singh
You'd be embarrassed to talk about it.
Andrew Schulz
Mom, but do you go to the bathroom? Is it, like. Is it something you could do public? How is it done? You definitely don't do it publicly.
Mark Gagnon
You do it in the privacy of your own bathroom.
Andrew Schulz
Like, if you were going to take.
Mark Gagnon
A shower, you know?
Andrew Schulz
Okay. We once walked into the bathroom here, and Mark had his legs in the air. And we're like, what the hell is going on? And there was no anima. We were just like, why are you.
Akash Singh
This is not a true story.
Andrew Schulz
That's. I would never do that.
Mark Gagnon
You lie.
Andrew Schulz
You do lie. I know you lie. She's like, I know you're lying. Mark, shower.
Akash Singh
All right, well, this has been helpful. Thank you so much.
Andrew Schulz
Bye.
Mark Gagnon
Bye, Ms. Gag.
Dove
Thank you, Ms. Gag.
Andrew Schulz
Mold. Free coffee. If you want to try it, I can give you all tips. Yes, we're all.
Akash Singh
We're going to try. We're going to try.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. We want the tip. All right.
Akash Singh
Thank you.
Andrew Schulz
Bye. See, I knew it was going to be a normal, rational discussion.
Mark Gagnon
She's very confident in herself.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
If Mark's mom does anything, she is 1000% confident in it.
Al
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
She's already processed the judgment and dealt with it, and then she is out there in the world. Yeah. So she's.
Akash Singh
Why is there anything to be ashamed of?
Andrew Schulz
There's nothing to be ashamed of. Plug Alex up.
Akash Singh
You can't even handle.
Andrew Schulz
We gotta plug you up, dude. We have to try it. We have to try it.
Dove
As crazy as I might try that.
Akash Singh
We'Re gonna try it.
Andrew Schulz
I'm like, I'm already on the bidet.
Dove
It's the same shit.
Andrew Schulz
How is it.
Akash Singh
You know what I mean? How different, really is it?
Andrew Schulz
It's not different at all.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Al
We all did it together.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Akash Singh
I think we should all do it like a hookah. We get eight of them lined up. Just fucking let it rip, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Octopus.
Akash Singh
That'd be fire. See, we're gonna get so healthy.
Andrew Schulz
We might need a hookah for the pod. That could be a nice little vibe. Fire.
Dove
I've been listening to Bad Bunny. That shit would be fire.
Andrew Schulz
That is a good idea. It's nice for Vi. Would that affect your asthma?
Mark Gagnon
Smoking?
Andrew Schulz
I'm good, but just being around the smoke, I'm good.
Akash Singh
You sure?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Dove
Why can't you smoke it?
Andrew Schulz
He has asthma, can't breathe. His body isn't built to be a human.
Dove
You don't take it in. You just like.
Andrew Schulz
No. What's the.
Dove
With, like, with hookahs that they say you're not inhaling, but you're inhaling.
Andrew Schulz
No, you're not inhaling. How you.
Dove
Once it goes in your lungs, isn't that inhale?
Andrew Schulz
I mean, like, do you inhale gum? What you just put in your mouth? You don't.
Dove
No, you go. It goes down and then it goes back up.
Andrew Schulz
No, no.
Dove
Yes. Yes, you do.
Andrew Schulz
You don't have to do that.
Al
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
There a choice.
Dove
Oh, well, then all the people in the Heights and every place that smokes hookah and clubs, they're inhaling it because in order to get that big cloud smoke, you have to.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like you're explaining and justifying right now instead of just making me feel understood in what I'm suggesting. Yeah.
Akash Singh
This I can't do.
Andrew Schulz
I can't do it.
Akash Singh
It's like a cigar. You don't in a cigar. You just put it in your mouth.
Andrew Schulz
Al does. Al doesn't know how to not swallow. He just doesn't know how to not.
Dove
Cigars I could do, but no. What Hookah. You're supposed to.
Andrew Schulz
No, you're not.
Dove
Yes, you are.
Andrew Schulz
No, you're not.
Dove
I guarantee you're supposed to.
Andrew Schulz
I promise.
Dove
I think you're smoking.
Al
You can do it both ways.
Andrew Schulz
You can do it both ways. But it's obviously worse for human. It's worse for you if you inhale it health wise. Yeah. If you want the flavor, just take it in and blow it out.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
But then you're not going to get a big cloud.
Akash Singh
Oh, my God. The point cloud.
Andrew Schulz
The big cloud. N. It is all fun. I don't even like doing if there's wind around. Yeah. Like, you can't blow the O's. Yeah.
Dove
You can't have fun with it. That's the point of it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I've never actually done a hookah. I've never been like, oh, let's all sit and do it.
Mark Gagnon
We did in Morocco.
Akash Singh
It's so. But it's like, I feel like it wasn't like I.
Andrew Schulz
Why don't you take back what you just said?
Akash Singh
I know you just.
Andrew Schulz
Why don't you start? Why don't you? Your mom was right.
Mark Gagnon
Crazy.
Andrew Schulz
She threw a dagger at my face. I thought she was talking to me. She's talking to Mark.
Akash Singh
You're get an email.
Andrew Schulz
You'll get an email.
Akash Singh
She'll hit you. Why she even have to bring that up, yo?
Andrew Schulz
Cuz she kept it a buck. She was like, they trying to set me up. Watch me double down on this right now.
Akash Singh
She'll do a hookah with us.
Andrew Schulz
What do you lie about to your mom? What do we need? What is that?
Akash Singh
Trying to think.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like Mark is not a liar.
Dove
No.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like him in a couple. What is to me, you're somebody who strikes me as someone who does not like to lie to the point where you actually have like, uncomfortable conversations because you feel uncomfortable lying.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I, I, I don't like to. I don't like to lie, but like, in my mind, I would create a reality that's not actually real.
Andrew Schulz
Can you give a. I've never spoke hookah. You did say that out loud.
Akash Singh
Because in my mind I'm like, I didn't like, sit down and be like, I'm going to chief this hookah. I like hit it one time. I was like, this is weird. I never, like, enjoyed it. I guess that's. That's probably more accurate to say I.
Andrew Schulz
Didn'T cheat on you. That's what you.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Andrew Schulz
Cheating is enjoying it.
Akash Singh
Exactly. I was reluctantly.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Having sex with this model. I didn't want this, but yeah. I. I don't know. I don't. You. You don't get uncomfortable lying? You say a lie and you feel like. And then it just ruminates in your head forever. And then you're like, I should call my friends in high school and be like, hey, man, that actually wasn't true.
Andrew Schulz
No, but the first half. Yes.
Mark Gagnon
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
But I. This is what I think this is. The discomfort with the lie. There's obviously, like, the moral that starts chipping away you a little bit. You're like, am I going to get some bad karma for this? I'm doing something that's wrong. The other thing is the anxiety and exhaustion of keeping the lie going.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I think is worse than just admitting. Ah. Actually, I did. I. I did do that.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like that. Keeping the lie going is. Look at how unrelatable this is to Al right now sitting there. I was trying to understand, like, it was the coffee and. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So you don't just maintain this lie for the rest of your life.
Dove
Like, don't put that up. No, I was going to follow up with, like, what about white lies? Like, if somebody's like. Like, if somebody calls me, I'm like, oh, I'm busy right now. Let me hit you back. But I'm not busy. I just don't want to talk to that person.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
What about those lies? Is that bad? Because I do those all the time.
Andrew Schulz
Took me about six months to realize that's how Charlamagne gets off the phone when we first met. Oh, yeah. He's like, oh, shit, let me call you right back. I'm like, all right, bet. And I'm just sitting there waiting for this call. Can we go to dinner? I'm like, nah, I got this call. Charlamagne. Yeah.
Akash Singh
I learned that from him. I learned that from him. Yeah. Like, I'll do that sometimes. And then I regret doing it almost every time. It's like, I'll just lie to keep the combo going. People be like, oh, have you seen this movie? And I'll be like, yeah. And then, like, they'll talk about it at length with me. And I'm like, faking the combo. And I'm like. And then I'll. An hour later, I'll call and be like, by the way, I never saw a movie. I'm sorry that I even said that. Like, I was just kind of. I thought you were going to go somewhere else and I just said yes and then I regret it. And I wish I could have just been like, no, I haven't seen it tumble and it would have made life so much easier. But instead I was like, yeah, yeah, I've seen it, sure, whatever makes me.
Dove
Comfortable sitting like that.
Andrew Schulz
Tell me, tell me more about how that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Dove
You're like too interested.
Mark Gagnon
You don't like being interested in what he has to say.
Akash Singh
I'm like.
Andrew Schulz
All right guys, let's take a break for a second. I, I have a game changing situation right here. I, it is crumpled up because I've already devoured it. These are the David protein bars. But before you say anything, just let me, let me just state right now, okay? This will be the biggest protein bar on the planet. It'll be the protein bar that everybody just consumes because it's very simple. Not only does it taste delicious, it's going to give you more protein than any other bar. That's why we're eating it. We're not eating the protein bar because we're like, you know what, I don't want to go out to dinner with my boys. I'd rather just have a protein bar. No, no, we want the fucking protein. Okay?
Mark Gagnon
Most protein with the least calories.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly. That's the other thing. You have some of these other protein bars, but it's really all calories. So you're just eating a cookie. Give me the cookie. If that's the case, the protein bar. This again. I've ALREADY DEVOURED IT. 28 grams. Find me another one.
Mark Gagnon
150 calories. 28 grams.
Andrew Schulz
Find me another one. With 150 calories and 28 grams of protein.
Mark Gagnon
You can get like a 30 gram bar with like 300 calories. 353 ice cream. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Honestly, like there's so many better things you could eat if you don't care about the amount of calories in it. We care about the most protein that we can get and the least amount of calories. We're all trying to do this stupid thing where we like eat our weight in protein or whatever else is going to kill us by the time we're 50. What you need to do right now is get the most protein, the least amount of calories. Okay?
Mark Gagnon
No sugar in this bar.
Andrew Schulz
Is there no sugar?
Mark Gagnon
No sugar.
Andrew Schulz
Adequate protein intake is critical for building and preserving Muscle mass now. And as we age, apparently if you build muscle mass, it helps you live longer. Your bones are more dense. It's like the best thing you could do or whatever. I don't care. I get annoyed. I don't want to try to find these, like some. Even the protein shakes that I have, like, I feel weird when I drink them. Like, my body, I don't know what, something happens internally that I don't like. I eat the David bar. I feel like I'm getting my protein, Obviously, I'm getting my gains. Okay, you know what's going on over here? David comes in six delicious flavors and they're all worth trying. Also, if you buy four cartons, you'll get a fifth one for free. And if you're curious, all you got to do is just go try it for yourself. Davidprotein.com flagrant. It will be the premier protein bar on the planet. Mark my words. Right now, you will see that gold. Look at this. See that gold right there? You're going to see it. You can see in every store that you walk into, you're going to buy when you're going to consume it, you're not going to get fat and you're going to get muscles. You're welcome. Let's get back to the show. All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. Listen, okay, let's just be honest, okay? A lot of homeowners right now, they're struggling with debt. You know, maybe they're upside down and their mortgage, you know, maybe you got credit card debt that's piling up and it can only get higher because of inflation and what you're feeling. You want to go out there, find a CEO, shoot them in the back of the head. That's not what you should do. I do not suggest that at all. I get the feeling, the sentiment. You look up, Google the names of them. You find one that lives in your area. You wait till they're going to Pinkberry when they're walking out with a nice cup of frozen yogurt and some Oreo cookie crumbles on the top. You walk up behind them with a 9 millimeter gun and you blast a hole from the back of their head through the front.
Mark Gagnon
Not a good idea.
Andrew Schulz
Don't do that. That's a horrible idea. Okay, what is this? Here's a better idea. American Financing. American financing can help. They give you loans using your home's equity. It's a family owned company that's been around for a quarter century. Okay? Their mortgage Consultants are also salary based, so there's no financial incentive to put you into a shitty loan just so they can make a commission. That's very important. If things think it's worth saying again, their loan people are salary based. They're not trying to just throw you into loan so they can add a pool to their house. They're salary based. Okay. They're not going to put you in a shitty loan just so they can make some money. Customers save $800 a month on average, and you won't be charged for any upfront or hidden fees. Okay. But don't just trust us, do your own research. You can check out american financing.net flagrant or call 1-800-852-2010 to learn how homeowners are saving $800,000 a month on average. Now let's get back to the show. Dub doesn't lie. He doesn't like lying. Yeah, but you have that. This is where I think like a religious background is very helpful because it's like this nudge in an ethical or moral direction. So, like, I can see the concern you have about lying now. He'll go as close to lying as you possibly can. He'll like say a bunch of words that don't really mean anything and he'll get the thing that he needs, but he doesn't lie to get it. He won't straight up say something that's not true. Is that a fair, accurate statement? Like, you won't be like, oh, this horrible disaster happened, I need this thing, please help me. Right, that's a little too far. You're right, you're right.
Al
I won't cross that.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but omission. I'll do that sometimes.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah. You just try to be as honest as you can and then, you know.
Akash Singh
Shockingly works out like, Like I've one time, this is like a year ago, but like there was a spot, it was like super. On the super far away. It was like a show I didn't want to do.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And it was super late and it was cold and I was like, I, I don't feel like doing this. And the dude was like, hey man, you're gonna be here in like an hour or something. I was like, my bike broke. No, I can't say that. I was like, I got, I slipped now. I was like thinking of all these justifications. I just hit him. I was like, hey man, I'm just exhausted. I just can't. And he goes, yeah, no, it's totally fine.
Andrew Schulz
See?
Akash Singh
And it worked.
Andrew Schulz
Out. Great.
Dove
But isn't omission just as bad?
Andrew Schulz
This is where. This is where it gets into the discussion of maintaining the omission is almost as bad as maintaining the lie. So, like, my wife goes, oh, what'd you guys do last night? I forget where we were. We went to strip club or something like that. We're in Hawaii, right? And I was like, ah, we went to some strip club.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I could say, oh, we went to dinner, and then we partied this thing, and then we went home. But it's like, we didn't exactly do that. So if I dragged. And then she goes, oh, well, what happened after? Oh, but this funny story. You know what I mean? And it's just like, if I just say we did this thing, which I didn't do anything bad at the strip club.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Then it's perfect. Yeah.
Dove
How was Hawaiian strip clubs, bro? We wide back.
Andrew Schulz
We. No, no, no, no, no, no. They weren just a bunch of Samoan girls, like, testing the integrity of the Best Buy employees.
Al
No, no, no.
Andrew Schulz
But we did some shit at this, like, it's not even strip club. It's like, what is it called? They're like, we're so gay.
Akash Singh
This.
Dove
This is sounding like a brothel.
Akash Singh
So. Yeah, this is going to blow your mind. There's a.
Andrew Schulz
You know how, like, in Asian cultures, they don't really know how to, like, talk to women. So what they do is they commodify it, right? And they're like, there's like a. There's like a Korean experience where you go to a place and then they just have girls there to talk to you. And it's called a host host club or something like that. And it's basically a bunch of, like, Asian businessmen go there and they talk and they kind of do their deals, but there's, like, girls around, right? And so this guy who was, like, taking us around, I say, he's like, do you guys want to, like, see this, like, Korean cultural experience? And we're like, well, yeah, all right. That sounds, like, really weird. So we're in this room, and it's just awkward. Cause we're not Koreans doing business. We're just sitting around. There's a pole in the middle of the thing, but we're kind of talking, and then we just go, yo, put on the Hamilton soundtrack. We want these girls dancing to dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. And at first, they didn't know how to dance to it. So then we started singing and dancing. Disney mix. Disney songs mixed with Hamilton.
Akash Singh
Bro.
Andrew Schulz
Bro.
Akash Singh
At one point, five of us were standing up on the pole singing.
Andrew Schulz
Girls were sitting down, drinking, depressed. They didn't know what to do.
Akash Singh
They didn't know what to do.
Andrew Schulz
How does a bastard orphan son of a. And a Scotsman dropped in.
Akash Singh
It was like 30 minutes of it. And they were just sitting there like water. Do we leave? Like, are we getting paid? Like, what is happening?
Andrew Schulz
They had no clue what was going on. To the point they just started taking their clothes off. We're like, no, no, we're good. Just keep your clothes on. We're going to dance. These songs, do you know the words we put on Frozen? One of these little 12 year olds was like, oh, I got this one. They were not 12.
Dove
Today's men, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, we're respectful.
Akash Singh
This is what the red pills complaining about, bro. It was so embarrassing. And then I was DJing and we got the vibe back. Like I was like playing like just regular rap music and like it was. The vibe was sick. And then like 10 minutes in, I swam right back to Hamilton and one of the girls just left.
Andrew Schulz
I think we're the first dudes to walk a stripper establishment, bro. She's on a pole trying to dance. All. And then you just hear, I can show you.
Mark Gagnon
She just love that, by the way. Thank you, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Thank you, dude. Bro, that was fun. Wow.
Akash Singh
But isn't it so much better to tell the truth? Truth and then it's fine. And if you don't want to tell the truth and maybe what you're doing you shouldn't do, so you just stay in front of it and everything works out okay.
Dove
What about the example I gave?
Mark Gagnon
Or have a mission.
Akash Singh
But you could just be like, hey, I'm super exhausted right now. Can I call you back tomorrow?
Dove
That's a lie.
Akash Singh
Wait, what?
Andrew Schulz
No.
Dove
What if I just don't want to talk to the person?
Akash Singh
Why not?
Andrew Schulz
Don't pick up the phone.
Dove
Oh, that's true. But what if, okay, let's say hypothetically, I picked it up. I thought it was going to be a quick call, but if turns out.
Mark Gagnon
To be longer, the best thing to say, even though it's hard, is to be like, you know, I'm just kind of done talking.
Dove
That's.
Mark Gagnon
That's the best.
Akash Singh
No, that's.
Andrew Schulz
That's honest. That.
Akash Singh
That's honest.
Andrew Schulz
That hurts.
Akash Singh
I think that's the best.
Mark Gagnon
I feel like talking right now.
Akash Singh
I think that's actually the best.
Dove
Oh, yeah. Horrible.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, Just try that. Try it.
Andrew Schulz
Have you ever tried that?
Mark Gagnon
No. I'm a liar. I'm a big liar. I gotta get going.
Andrew Schulz
No, I don't.
Mark Gagnon
I, I want to get going.
Andrew Schulz
What's the biggest omission or white lie that you've told your wife?
Mark Gagnon
Oh God.
Akash Singh
I mean just anytime I'm coming home.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And it's so dumb cuz I do it every time.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
She goes, hey, what time are you coming home? And then I know she wants me to be home at like 7, so I'll be like, oh yeah, I'll be home like you know, 6:45, 7. And then I'm, I walk in the door at 8:30 and she goes, why, where were you? And I was like, I just lied to you. And she goes, why didn't you tell me the truth? I wouldn't have cared. I just wanted to know what time you'd be home. I go, I, I'd like to lie. I don't know. I like, I just, I'm a liar. I couldn't help.
Mark Gagnon
I don't trust you with the truth that I'm having fun for a little.
Akash Singh
Bit longer without you every time. And I just, I do it. And she goes, I genuinely don't care what time you're going to be home. Just tell me the actual too. At the actual time.
Andrew Schulz
They say that until you tell them the actual time. They're like that late. I thought we were going to have a night together.
Akash Singh
I've never even tried.
Andrew Schulz
You.
Mark Gagnon
Thank you.
Andrew Schulz
They make us lie.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
I don't want to lie. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You put me in a corner.
Andrew Schulz
You ever say like an hour later to give yourself cushion and then as the time approaches, you're like, I got a whole hour. Even when you try to get ahead of it, you're like, I got all the time in the world. Instead of going to be home at 8:30. Yeah. It's almost like they need to understand our math. That's. What do they say? Girl math is the they do with spending Boy math. Math is time. Yeah. The time that we will be home. The time that we spent. That is boy math.
Mark Gagnon
The time that you say it's going to take you to get ready is the time. And it's extra time. It's going to take us to get home. Yeah. I've never had a show actually end. When I told my wife it ended. It's always like a half hour. Hey baby. Just finished the meet and greet. I've been home for 45 minutes. I just don't want to talk right now.
Akash Singh
It's crazy.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And you do it enough to where my Girl just knows what my translation is. So now she doesn't even ask.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, really?
Akash Singh
Because now just be like, hey, I'm gonna go do this, but I'll be back in, like, 30 minutes. And she's like, okay. Like, she doesn't even follow up because she's just like, all right, that'll be two hours. And that's fine.
Andrew Schulz
I gotta go. Like, I'm be gone the whole night. And then when I come back early, I'm waiting for, like, a celebration. I'm like, look who's here. There just three guys in a room with her. I'm like, what the.
Akash Singh
But, yeah, that's my. That's my go. So I got to get better at that. Just being just more like, hey, this is what I'm actually doing.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know.
Al
Do that to your friends also, not just your wife.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, I guess I do it to everyone.
Al
Every single person in your life.
Andrew Schulz
It was so weird. He doesn't do it to me at all.
Akash Singh
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
What does he do to you, bro?
Al
The funniest part about Mark is he gets really stressed about time. Like, two days ago, he's like, I got to film this episode. It has to go out tomorrow. Whatever. He texts me the whole first day. He skips it. The next morning, he texts me and he goes, Meet it, studio. Studio in 10 minutes. We're both in bed. Like, there's no chance you're gonna make it out your door, down the stairs, 10 minutes. And I was like, hey, brother, how about we say we meet at the coffee shop in 15, and then we do the thing in 30?
Akash Singh
Yes.
Al
And you were like, that's what I meant. And I was like, dude, just do that.
Akash Singh
That is what I felt in my soul.
Al
Just say that next time.
Akash Singh
That's what I did to David and how he got his bike stolen.
Al
Yeah, that's true.
Andrew Schulz
Poor David. Poor David. I get, like, a message on New Year's Day. He's like, bro, I'm so sorry. Like, I. I got your bike got stolen last night. Like, I got you. Like, I'm gonna get you a new one. I go, you know what, bro? Merry Christmas. You don't have to buy me a bike that you got stolen. You got a bet he gets a bike back, and literally this week, it gets stolen again.
Al
Oh, no, he got it back. Your bike is broken. Oh, and he needs to go get it fixed. Oh, so then he buys a new bike.
Andrew Schulz
So instead of fixing my fucking bike. Cause I gifted that Shit to him. He goes, I don't need to fix this. I'll get a new bike. Fucking Sanchez. He would have. No good deed goes unpunished. Oh, karma got him.
Akash Singh
Yeah, exactly.
Al
Buys a new bike. So stoked about it. Literally can't stop talking about everywhere you go. It's locked up somewhere. He'll walk by and go, God damn, whose bike is that? Like, he's so stoked.
Akash Singh
It's his favorite thing. And so me and him are going to go to the gym yesterday. I said, hey, let's meet at this coffee shop, grab a coffee and then go to the gym.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
So we go to the coffee shop. We're sitting there 10, 15 minutes. Miles comes by. Guy, he's hanging out. I'm there with my baby. Baby's hanging out. At least he's gonna come get the baby, go take him, and then we're gonna go to the gym. David walks out and his bike's gone. Fully stolen and has a full meltdown. Calls the police. Cops show up. Do you have a description? And he was like, let's brown. Probably migrant.
Andrew Schulz
Probably migrant.
Al
An air tag on it or. No, no, no air tag. Chain was made of, like, tinsel. Honestly, like, the bike chain is so thin.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Got jacked.
Al
And then he went to the precinct. Like, the cops show up. He gives him a statement, fills it out. Me and Mark are trying not to make fun of him. Laugh the whole time.
Akash Singh
That was hard.
Dove
He should play a video. They got the video of it being.
Andrew Schulz
Stolen, of his reaction. There's a video of the bike being stolen right in front of them while you guys are having coffee.
Akash Singh
He was in Direct Island, 20ft away.
Dove
Wow.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Al
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
He didn't do anything.
Andrew Schulz
He didn't.
Al
He didn't notice.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, I thought, who? Okay. Yeah.
Al
Got in the back of a cop car, went all the way to the precinct to film more paperwork out.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, once your bike's gone, it's gone.
Dove
Exactly. But that's something that people not from New York don't realize.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
It's like, that is a different color.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, that's a sick bike, dude.
Al
No, no, this is.
Dove
Motorcycle pulls up.
Akash Singh
He's right here. The bike is locked up right here with the top tiniest lock ever. Dude has a bolt cutter, snatches it, pulls it off the thing.
Andrew Schulz
All right. And then rides away with both. That's what they do.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, that's. That's talent.
Akash Singh
Crazy, right?
Andrew Schulz
It's nice.
Mark Gagnon
He deserves it, honestly. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You wanna know the funniest part? This is probably the funniest part these days.
Dove
We used to do that with a bicycle. You have to be pedaling with holes. This guy has the funniest part.
Akash Singh
While this guy is stealing it, that's my wife and child walking right on by.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy.
Al
And then later your wife goes, yeah, I saw a guy riding with a bike on the sidewalk. I thought, that's so silly.
Akash Singh
She saw the guy going up robling, holding a bike on the side. She's like, yeah, I guess like his friend like lost his bike, crashed or something. Who knows? Isn't that so wacky?
Al
He's holding his friend's bike while he goes and gets coffee.
Akash Singh
Exactly. I told Liz, like, yeah, David's bike got stolen. She's like, oh, that's crazy. Unrelated, I saw a guy stealing, like, not connected at all. Situational awareness on 10 just knows exactly what's going on.
Al
Yeah, 10am on a Monday. That's crazy.
Akash Singh
And that all happened because I wasn't honest with the time. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, cuz I said, I got there later, we spent more time at the coffee shop than I had said or if I just was honest, he never would have got his bike stolen.
Mark Gagnon
Is that time, though. That's just what we do as homies. We waste time.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, but then you would have gone your justice.
Andrew Schulz
What's my justice? Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. So I don't know if I feel. I don't know if I feel avenged by that.
Akash Singh
You don't. Look at this.
Dove
Not enough.
Mark Gagnon
It's not enough.
Al
We'll steal his other book. Don't worry.
Andrew Schulz
I need more.
Dove
Did he get a replacement?
Andrew Schulz
Right?
Al
He's looking at it.
Andrew Schulz

But how can you be brave when you're tired, when you're exhausted, when you want to take a will nap? Do you want to take a little nap? No. What you want to do is put some caffeine in your system. And how the fuck are you going to do that? Black rifle coffee. Yeah, that's right.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
It's a shotgun full of caffeine right into your cerebellum. I don't even know if that's where caffeine goes. But with black rifle coffee, your cock's going to be hard for three days. Your wife will be very angry, okay? She's going to have her work cut out out for her. That's a fact. Not gonna be half mask. Not at all. We're going full. Yeah. Nobody died here. Not libido, not energy, okay? When you got a lot of speaking to do freely, you want to make sure that you got tons of milligrams of caffeine in your system so you could exercise that freedom of speech, inalienable rights. Yeah, okay. Whatever's in the Constitution, whatever's in the Bill of Rights, whatever we did to those British cucks when we took their team, we threw it in the water. Notice it's not black rifle T. Is it?
Akash Singh
Your tea.
Andrew Schulz
Your tea. It's black rifle coffee. Yeah. All right. That's what happens. What do you think Luigi Manoni took a shot of before he went out on the streets? Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Black rifle.
Andrew Schulz
Well, no, no. I'm not saying he did that before a murder. When he was in Hawaii, when he was exploring, when he needed the energy. He was surfing, when he was living a good life. Not when that other thing happened. He was probably drinking tea when he did that horrible thing or that CEO. That's what tea makes you.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
All right. That whole thing. Black rifle coffee makes you stand up for what you believe in.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
That's what it's all about. I'm draped in it right here. This is what drinking black rifle coffee feels like. I take a sip of it, and I am draped in American. I'm draped in freedom.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
I'm draped in a stock market that's soaring.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
I'm draped in bitcoin going to 200. Yeah. I'm draped in Greenland as part of America. I'm draped in the Gulf of America. I'm draped in Canada is the 51st states. I'm draped in. Not everybody needs a quality.
Mark Gagnon
Wait, hold on.
Andrew Schulz
Did I go too far?
Akash Singh
Everyone needs opportunity.
Andrew Schulz
Everybody needs opportunity. And. And there should be meritocracy with that opportunity. And equality is really important, and it's in the constitution for everybody, even women and ladies.
Akash Singh
All right, that's fine.
Mark Gagnon
Well, don't get tea on us now. Don't start drinking tea.
Andrew Schulz
Am I drinking tea again? You're drinking tea. Next time I drink tea, just be like, yo, Ch. Anyway, back to what I'm trying to say. If you want to have a strong, male dominated, obedient housewife, your day starts with 200 milligrams of black rifle coffee.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. Notice what color the rifle is the most menacing. Anyway, go to blackrifflecoffee.com and use the code FLAGRANCE to get 30% off or an amount of women. We get paid to do a job today and see what all the hype is about. Let's get back to the show. All right. What's happening with Tik Tok, man?
Mark Gagnon
Yo, is this done?
Akash Singh
Yeah, it seems. I mean, they're basically going back and forth, like, should we ban it? Should we not? And it seems like Trump is kind of into keeping it.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I mean, it seems kind of crazy to ban it, don't it?
Akash Singh
Yeah, it's very possible.
Al
It'll only be banned for several Days before Trump just reenacts it.
Andrew Schulz
Just do a trade, say, yo, China, you got to take meta. And if I'm China, I'm taking that any day of the week. If you look at reels right now, I think someone's pointing this out. It's just repurposed TikToks. A lot of it at least. Like very. I think very few people are making only real, specific content. There are a lot of people making TikTok specific content that goes viral and people repost on reals. So if I'm, I'm the U.S. i'm like, all right, listen, you could have your data collection service here and influence our elections, influence our culture, and do whatever the you want, but we to have one over there, isn't that a fair trade?
Mark Gagnon
What if China says no?
Andrew Schulz
Then I think it's reasonable that we would remove it.
Mark Gagnon
Here's what does it really do. Like, I imagine China already has whatever data they need. And this, if anything, the fact that nobody can recreate the Bite Dance algorithm in the United States proves to me that they're so far ahead of us in AI in every capacity that it's like, this is the least of our concerns as a social media app. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. I don't know if they're ahead of us in terms of AI, but nobody.
Mark Gagnon
Can get the algorithm. So to me that I would, I would assume that's under the AI umbrella.
Andrew Schulz
I think that you can. I think that you can recreate that algorithm. I think the issue is Instagram is this like, friend slash community based app. So it needs to show you your friend's every once in a while. Like, they're kind of beholden to this thing that we no longer care about. The reality is like, we don't care about what our friends are doing until the algorithm chooses something that they're doing randomly and then throws it in front of us. The beauty of TikTok is they're like, people pretend like they want to keep up with the Joneses with their boys and shit. They don't. They just want to see the next piece of content that's really interesting. It's really engaging. This dramatic or funny. We got you.
Mark Gagnon
I would push back with YouTube shorts. It's big.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
But it's not TikTok. It's not. Doesn't have that same addictive, like, people are in it for 14 hours a day. I agree with you communities.
Andrew Schulz
I would just say that with you YouTube, like, the goal is a little different. Like YouTube, when I hit that App. I'm like, all right, I'm going to sit here for a little bit and watch a video and kind of indulge in something where TikTok. I even see the way my wife uses it. She's brushing her teeth, throws on TikTok and just let some shit go. It's just this meaningless time spend. Right. That is. Or if you're going to bed, you're like, all right, I got 15 minutes. Let me just scroll and find some shit. And I think if Instagram really wants to compete, they just got to knock the friend thing away completely. But people don't want that.
Mark Gagnon
I just. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Andrew Schulz
They think people don't want that. We do.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. I just think they're further behind than you do. I think that's just really where we disagree.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, maybe.
Mark Gagnon
I also do. You know the number one downloaded app the last couple days, the backup to TikTok, the Red Note, which is the actual Chinese government.
Al
Chinese app.
Mark Gagnon
So they're like, instead of giving it to TikTok, let's just give all our data China right away. Yeah. There's a lot of pushback to this that I don't know if the government. I don't think the government understood how much people love that app.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
And I don't think they are prepared for, like, the anger that will come if you take it away.
Andrew Schulz
I wonder if there's anger. Like, I wonder if there's anger. I wonder if people are furious or they just find another form of distraction.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I think they bank on that, but I think they're. They're. They're going to make more noise about this than most things.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, maybe.
Mark Gagnon
And I don't think it's worth getting rid of it, but you could see.
Andrew Schulz
Why it'd be a liability.
Mark Gagnon
I understand the. The concept of it. I do. I just don't think it's that. That real of a threat. I think China's a threat, but I don't think Tick Tock is the reason China's a threat. If we want to push China around and reassert ourselves, there's a lot of other ways to do it, I think, than just like, the Tick Tock app.
Andrew Schulz
What about allowing them, like, algorithmically to push certain things to us and, like, affect us culturally?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, but Facebook, we've already didn't Rush. Already do that in 2016.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah, you could make that argument. Yeah, it didn't work. Right.
Mark Gagnon
But, I mean, that was what. Yeah, I don't know if that's what that's what everybody was blaming the Trump win on forever.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. But they always need to find a way.
Mark Gagnon
But that's a concern either way. Like WhatsApp. There's tons of misinformation on WhatsApp. Take it from an Indian whose parents were sharing the craziest shit ever.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
WhatsApp is like the biggest misinformation thing in the world.
Andrew Schulz
Really.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, my God. There's so many memes are just like, washing your hands could cause AIDS or whatever, and then your uncles are just sharing it to all their uncles and it's just going around like crazy.
Akash Singh
Who knows, right?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. But the misinformation shit is everywhere. Pushing content is like, you can do it on any app. I don't think it's exclusive to TikTok.
Akash Singh
But I guess the difference is that if someone is using a loophole to exploit that versus the fundamental backend being owned by another country, like, is it an easier pipeline to then push a cultural agenda?
Andrew Schulz
I think there's no question that that is the truth. I mean, that's the reason why China doesn't allow our apps over there.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, yeah. I can agree if there is merit to it. I just think they're kind of picking a fight with something they probably want out for whatever reason anyway.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. And it could just be a posturing.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Could be a lot of money from the US social media apps being like, let's lobby, get this thing taken out of here. Who's the biggest threat?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Who's the biggest beneficiary?
Mark Gagnon
Mark Zenberg and Meta. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
Do you see the rumors of Elon buying it and. And then. Yeah, buying it. And then Mr. Beast also saying he wants to buy it.
Andrew Schulz
And then China responded to that and they were like, we cannot comment on completely fake fictional rumors.
Akash Singh
Oh, really?
Andrew Schulz
Now that could be them just trying to cover up the fact that they're going to sell it. I mean, if Elon buys Tick Tock and if he has Twitter and Tick Tock, that's crazy. Yeah, that's a lot of.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's a little. That's a lot.
Andrew Schulz
That's a lot.
Akash Singh
If Trump's able to save it, like, does it make Trump look good?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, God.
Al
He went early on.
Mark Gagnon
Weirdly, the one demographic that he still hasn't fully won over is, like, young liberal kids on Tick Tock. If he saves the app they love the most. What a cool.
Al
I think it's such an easy win early for him. And I don't know if people looked at that, because I think he's basically reversed on it. He's basically saying, like, I don't know if we should look into it. Like, think about it.
Akash Singh
He loves his views on there.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
He's like, we got like 36 billion views last quarter. Like, why do we got to get rid of this?
Mark Gagnon
He's got TikTok, Jack, dude. He's got the TikTok.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I think we just need to understand what the real cost to America is. And then we're all just speculating right now. But if some actual independent data came out that this is potential potentially dangerous and the only thing we lose is a distraction tool for five minutes where kids are just like dancing and lip syncing, I think we can live without it, but we just don't know that actual cost. And if the actual cost is nothing, then let that go. Let them get their data, whatever. It's fun, it's great, we all enjoy it. But if the actual cost is, oh, we found out that, you know, China influenced these local elections over here so that they could gain more influence and, you know, buy up these hotels and this real estate or whatever, that's fair. If we found that there was actual real impact, it was, you know, not even dangerous to Americans, but, you know, put us on the, the, the, the unaffected. Unaffected side of a negotiation.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Then I think it's maybe worth yanking it. Like, I wonder if, even if, if Britain thinks about that when they're selling, you know, large swaths of real estate to outside investors.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
If they go long term, like, is this, this is beneficial for us? Yeah. A few developers were able to like, make their money back. But what does it look like 30 years from now when 20%, 30% of London is owned by foreign entities?
Akash Singh
I think it just happens on such a small scale, like you're just an individual seller in some foreign national saying, hey, here's cash for your house.
Andrew Schulz
Really? All right, so like the, the New.
Dove
York, but it stopped to that.
Andrew Schulz
So like in a microcosm, I think you could look at some of the, like vacation destinations that have, that impose these kind of rules where you can't buy land unless you're a citizen of the country. And it's simply because you're going to price out the people who actually live there, grow up there and don't have the opportunity to just move to another country and find a place to live. And you even seen in like, I think Vancouver, they said China bought up all these apartments. Others this apartment shortage and there are these apartments that are vacant and the people that live there and actually grow up there don't have places they can stay or they do, and they're just absurdly expensive. So I think there is like a, a long term, maybe concern. But, you know, this is America, short term greed. You know, somebody's willing to give you $300 million for your building, you don't give a. Where they're from. You're cashing out.
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah. It's interesting with the Greenland thing too, like Trump trying to get Greenland and like pushing hard to get it.
Andrew Schulz
I spoke to the guy who is the, is his ambassador to Denmark. So he's essentially tad. Denmark is the custodian of Greenland. So he's essentially, essentially tasked with, I mean, the, the job of getting Greenland.
Mark Gagnon
Why, why does Trump want it? Minerals.
Akash Singh
Seems like there's a couple different things from just what I've read, like, as it seems like Greenland is obviously covered in ice and the glaciers are melting on Greenland. So as a result, there's going to be huge mineral deposits and like potentially even oil underneath the ground. It's not going to be able to be accessed. Some people speculated that Elon is actually a big proponent of getting Greenland in order to get precious materials for like some of the stuff he's developing and getting minerals and things like that. And then obviously the oil interest. And then there's also trade routes that are now going to be like, more opened up that like Russia has more access to and it benefits Russia, like have these trade routes. So if the United States can put bases there and control the trade routes, it gives them a lot more leverage globally. And then thirdly, like, if Trump is able to get more land, does that look good for him individually as a president to be like, hey, I added on some shit to the American empire.
Andrew Schulz
Like, yo, if you were, if you were a citizen, citizen of Greenland and you could be Danish or American, what would you want to be?
Mark Gagnon
Good point.
Akash Singh
Well, with the boys, it depends though, because Danes, I feel like, are probably like, like if they're living there, if they're like culturally Danish, you know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
But they're culturally Greenlandish.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but I imagine that they're influenced.
Andrew Schulz
By Danish culture and that they're like, we're Danish.
Akash Singh
And I feel like I've met Danes that are very much not into the American vibe.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know if they Danes.
Mark Gagnon
Buddy, put down the butter cookies, Pick up a chocolate chip. See how much better it is on this side. Shut the up.
Akash Singh
Don't get me wrong, we got to put some Americans over there. We got to send the boys to go, you know, colonize.
Mark Gagnon
Give them our black people. They can see how fun it is.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
And you'll make a lot of people here very happy.
Andrew Schulz
Should we just put Israel there?
Akash Singh
Oh.
Andrew Schulz
Oh.
Mark Gagnon
There you go.
Andrew Schulz
That's it. That's problem solved.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
What do you feel about that?
Mark Gagnon
They can't handle the cold.
Akash Singh
Yeah, they hate the cold.
Andrew Schulz
They hate the cold. No, they'll turn it into a metropolis and then be blamed again. Buy something old now.
Mark Gagnon
Y had Greenland, y'all. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I think they're Inuits, like the indigenous population there. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just think if I'm some Greenlandish Inuit. Yeah. And that's my life. It's the only place that I've grown up. That's all I know. And I also can go to Denmark. I don't even know if they have, like, EU citizenship. I don't know how that works. But, like. Or you could be the exact person you're going to be, but if you want to pop down to Miami for a few weeks in the winter, there's no red tape at all. If you want to start a business in New York, there's no red tape.
Akash Singh
That should be the deal that they bring.
Dove
Yeah. It depends how the economy is. If they're doing bad, then they're going.
Andrew Schulz
To want to choose up.
Dove
Yeah.
Al
There's only, like.
Dove
But if they're fine.
Al
100,000 of them. And I think one of the big issues that they're running into right now is that they want. Basically, Greenland's, like, empty. It's just a big, like.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Al
Beautiful, like, untouched land. And their fear is that American. America is going to come and touch it.
Akash Singh
So I think that. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
What? Have we done that before?
Akash Singh
Yeah, like, why would that.
Al
I don't know why they think that.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
But when we touch it, it gets hot. Yeah, Right. Like, why would you not want that? Yeah, I mean, I think that they.
Al
And they don't have EU citizenship.
Andrew Schulz
They don't.
Al
They can get it in one way, but it's not automatically given because they left.
Andrew Schulz
Greenwood left.
Al
A precursor to the EU before.
Andrew Schulz
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Akash Singh
That should be the deal. Hey, you guys can be American, and you also get free flights to Miami twice a year.
Mark Gagnon
Free twice a year.
Akash Singh
What do you mean? We're trying to make a deal.
Andrew Schulz
We could take it by force, or y'all could choose us. What do you want?
Akash Singh
We're gonna nuke Greenland?
Andrew Schulz
We're not gonna nuke them. We're just gonna show up and be like, you're American. And they're gonna go, but we have seven different words for snow. And we're like, well, now it's snow. You're American. Welcome. Like, what do we. It's not a negotiation here. Do we want it? Yeah, welcome, welcome.
Mark Gagnon
So what's your boy saying? How are they trying to get it?
Andrew Schulz
I didn't get into that discussion. He was like, you gotta come visit us in Denmark. I was like, I think I'll visit you over in North America.
Akash Singh
You can visit me in Greenland.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I just can't fathom they wouldn't want to choose up.
Akash Singh
What about Puerto Rico? Did you guys like it?
Andrew Schulz
Puerto Rico's incredible.
Akash Singh
When you guys became America, boy, Puerto Ricans stoked about that.
Dove
It's still not cutting out for us too much.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Puerto Rico's still getting treats like Puerto Rico.
Dove
We're still waiting for, you know, to.
Andrew Schulz
Be able to vote.
Akash Singh
The weather's nice, but y'all could pull.
Andrew Schulz
Up whenever you want.
Mark Gagnon
That is true.
Dove
You can't even vote.
Andrew Schulz
You can vote when you move to New York and become a real American.
Akash Singh
Become a real nuken.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I mean, you got to point that.
Andrew Schulz
There'S a pathway to citizenship. We're going to create a pathway to citizenship for these Greenlandish people.
Akash Singh
Yeah. You have to move to Queens. Okay. Get a flag, wave it all the time, play music loud.
Andrew Schulz
Have a festival or a parade, and.
Akash Singh
You can be American.
Andrew Schulz
This is no brainer. I can't. I need them to show me one single Greenlandish person who's like, I don't want to be American. I just want to be Danish, kind of. You get to be Danish without EU citizenship.
Dove
Greenland. Let's pick better islands, though. It's like, if islands are for grabs, let's just pick some fire shots.
Akash Singh
Do you want Anguilla?
Dove
Anguilla would be cool.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Dove
Aruba.
Andrew Schulz
We have St. John Virgin Islands.
Al
It's nice.
Dove
Yeah, it's Aruba.
Andrew Schulz
Crazy. They actually do have, like, a bunch.
Al
Of words for snow.
Andrew Schulz
I know. That's their thing. What are the other words?
Al
Aput is general term for snow. Kik, falling snow.
Andrew Schulz
Matzak, wet snow.
Al
Pukak, powder snow. Quanako kok, long, light, powdery snow.
Mark Gagnon
Great. But that. She was perfect.
Akash Singh
Have you Inuit is why you know all this.
Al
We're getting ready to take over.
Akash Singh
Are we about to be escalators?
Andrew Schulz
I need a good reason why they wouldn't want to choose up. I'll be. I'll be honest. I think most countries in the world. If. If we went to them, we're like, yo, you. You guys want to be American? I feel like they'd be like, yeah, that's fine.
Dove
It's funny. I agree with that.
Andrew Schulz
Name one country that wouldn't want to be part of America. You get to keep doing whatever you do. What do they. What is the. You build a. What do you do? Like, what. You don't have to stop doing anything that you do.
Dove
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Yo, you pull that up because I don't even know what Greenland looks like.
Akash Singh
You think these people want to be American, bro? These NPR chicks, You really think these. These nanets. You got Marshall Mathers over there. I mean, crazy.
Dove
What's. I'm trying to figure them out. Are they Asian?
Akash Singh
Yeah, sorta. I think they're just, like, Inuit. Like, they're, like, indigenous.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, they're Asian, bro. Come on, Greenland. Let's not make this more difficult than it needs to be. You can still dress the way you dress. You can still wear your moccasins. You can still eat the whale fat. What? You know what I mean? Whatever you want to do, you can keep doing. You're also American now. And then if we find some underneath the ice that you would have never found, you get to benefit a little bit. So you could either have 0% of all the minerals you'll never dig up, or you could have, like, 10% or whatever we give the Alaskans.
Akash Singh
You'd be the greatest. Like, if you were back in the olden days, like, British Empire, like, colonizing.
Andrew Schulz
What was that guy? Kissinger? Yeah, I could be Kissinger.
Al
Well, he's dead. You can have a spot.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly. What else do we want? Literally, right now, what else do we.
Akash Singh
Aruba.
Dove
Aruba's fire.
Andrew Schulz
Aruba's great. We're good.
Akash Singh
Iran.
Andrew Schulz
Why Iran?
Akash Singh
We need Iran.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like there's parts of America with a lot of, like, Iranians. Yeah, yeah. Not Glendale. Beverly Hills.
Akash Singh
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
You know, great neck.
Akash Singh
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
Long out. And it's like. I feel we have a good amount.
Akash Singh
So you're good on that?
Andrew Schulz
I think we're good on that. Yeah. I feel like we got a good amount. I think we're good.
Mark Gagnon
What about Dubai?
Andrew Schulz
I like. I like the Emirates. I do like the Emirates. I do like them, and they're up.
Mark Gagnon
And coming, so it's like. It's like a Miami Heat situation. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
I. I'll be honest with you. I like what I see over there. I've toured twice. The audiences are fantastic. American, educated, 100% 100%. If I go there, I just have an amazing show. You might be ours. I really think that we could have that discussion. Now, there is a nice little thing where, like, we're homies, but it's separate. You want to go shit on a hooker, you can go there. Yeah, right. You can't do that. If they're American now they have rights. And all this other.
Akash Singh
Sing them Disney songs.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I don't want to fucking serenade a whore. I want to eat falafel and then put it on their chest as a cultural experience, Alex. Exactly. So I think we got to start looking into. I think they're. I think. I think Canada needs to cut it out.
Mark Gagnon
The 51st state, dude.
Andrew Schulz
I think they need to cut it out. They want to just join in. Join in. Their health care sucks already, so now it's not free. But at least you can get your tumor scooped out in a timely manner.
Mark Gagnon
It's true.
Akash Singh
Decent point.
Mark Gagnon
It's true.
Dove
But do we want Canada?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
Really?
Andrew Schulz
Canada's fire, bro. Canada's fire. I want Mexico too. If it's up to me. If it's up to me.
Dove
We can't just be picky and choosing.
Andrew Schulz
It ain't picking and choosing. That's the boys. Toronto, that's the boys.
Mark Gagnon
Yo, yo, yo. Let's take North America and South America and literally just make that America. North America, South America, that's all us.
Andrew Schulz
So Brazil gets to be part.
Mark Gagnon
Exactly.
Akash Singh
Make the flights street of.
Dove
Oh, we got Colombia.
Mark Gagnon
Ne Colombia.
Dove
They got good food over.
Andrew Schulz
Is there a way to do it? But none of them can move here.
Akash Singh
All right, see? No, no, no. This is where.
Andrew Schulz
This is where it's there a way where they got to stay too far, but we get to go there whenever we want.
Mark Gagnon
I'm sure we can do this.
Andrew Schulz
I'm sure we can do that. Is there a way where we can keep them poor so we can take advantage of that, you know, money exchange and the desperation of the women? Yes.
Akash Singh
The current situation.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, yeah. Okay. Got it. Yeah.
Akash Singh
I think we just give Greenland a basketball team, bring them into the fold and call it a day.
Mark Gagnon
Now, football. This is football. Look at the weather.
Andrew Schulz
Football.
Akash Singh
You think so?
Mark Gagnon
Green Bay, Greenland, same to same.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's a good point.
Mark Gagnon
They would love it.
Andrew Schulz
Dude, they got some wide heads.
Mark Gagnon
The Ice Packers.
Andrew Schulz
Look at that top guy right there.
Akash Singh
That's a statue. Oh, no, that's a.
Mark Gagnon
They're better looking women than I thought they'd be, to be honest with you.
Andrew Schulz
What is that guy's fitted Size. That's like a nine and a half, right?
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a. He's got a big one. I mean, this is that guy. That guy. Born and raised.
Andrew Schulz
Nay. No way. That's a Dane for sure.
Al
Yeah.
Akash Singh
A hockey team. I mean, they look like a sick ass hockey team. I'm just saying Greenland might be a good play.
Andrew Schulz
I like them. Yo, Greenland, we love you. We appreciate you. Welcome. You know, I think we put them on like a, you know, 100 year lease, see how it goes. And after 100, if it you doesn't work out for each other, then boom, it's like Hong Kong or whatever. Yeah, I like that scenario.
Akash Singh
What do you think of Trump changing all the names and stuff? Gulf of America. He changed Mount McKinley or Mount Denali to Mount McKinley. Whatever.
Andrew Schulz
I like it. Why can't we decide the names of our.
Akash Singh
The names all the time?
Mark Gagnon
India did that. We all back to Mumbai.
Dove
Yeah, that is true.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that's true.
Andrew Schulz
But what's wrong with. I don't understand why it's an issue. Like we call Japan Japan and they call it Nippon. Ha. Whatever the it is. Right? Like so it's like we all have different names for things. We're just naming the Gulf of Mexico now. The Gulf of America. I think it makes sense.
Dove
But does the world have to recognize it?
Andrew Schulz
They don't already. They don't speak speak English. They say it in their language. Like, I don't think Mexico should have to go now it's the Gulf of America. You keep calling it whatever you call it. Oh yeah, we call India India. They call it Hindustan. Right.
Mark Gagnon
Or be a Bharat.
Andrew Schulz
That.
Akash Singh
All right.
Andrew Schulz
Like, I'm shocked we didn't do this years ago. You know, kind of did it.
Al
We used to call it the Persian Gulf. Now we call it the Arabian Gulf. It's not officially changed, but we do.
Andrew Schulz
It just to who? Ooh, just a. With them.
Al
Ukraine. D Ukraine.
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
What's the Ukraine?
Mark Gagnon
The Ukraine. Is it Ukraine or the Ukraine? I think it's just Ukraine, right?
Al
It's called Ukraine, but for a long time we called it the Ukraine.
Akash Singh
That's just gaslight. I feel like that's Mandela effect also.
Mark Gagnon
They got sensitive about that. Is there other Ukraines?
Akash Singh
You're the Ukraine.
Andrew Schulz
I think it's.
Mark Gagnon
We talking about.
Al
I. I can't believe they gave it up.
Mark Gagnon
It's like Ohio State.
Akash Singh
Yeah, exactly.
Al
Ohio State.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Ukraine.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
We will call them section 8.
Mark Gagnon
I'm annoying.
Andrew Schulz
This whole. This war, you know, I need to. I need to Ask you guys about this. There is one of these like marathon horse that had sex with a thousand guys in 12 hours.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Yeah.
Dove
How's that possible?
Andrew Schulz
I got. We gotta pay for it to find out.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I think we gotta get on only fans.
Dove
Like, is it just like you just let them pump a couple times and then you on to the next one?
Andrew Schulz
Because I guess. But how can they. Are the guys all hard waiting? Like what a weird waiting.
Mark Gagnon
I don't. I'm not into this. How many guys is that per hour? Seems mathematically impossible.
Andrew Schulz
A Thousand divided by 12. 1057 divided by 12.
Al
83.
Akash Singh
88.
Andrew Schulz
88 an hour. How many is that a minute?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's over one guy a minute. I don't even understand how that's 1.4 her name. Yeah. This doesn't make. Is it like a. Like a bullpen where you go get hard before you.
Akash Singh
Yeah, there's gotta be.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
There must be a side room.
Dove
Logistically, I have to get it done in a min.
Andrew Schulz
Could get a job. Why are we acting like.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that's the issue.
Andrew Schulz
You know, a girl, a thousand guys in 12 hours. We're like, how do the guys come so fast?
Akash Singh
Like.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, we can get it out.
Dove
Yeah.
Akash Singh
No, the logistical part. Oh, damn. I mean, that's crazy. Apparently there's a. A father son duo that joined.
Dove
But now is this the same or that did.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, there was two that were doing it. And it's one of those two. She already did it. No, there was like another girl that did like a hundred.
Akash Singh
This is.
Dove
So this isn't the one that was crying about doing.
Andrew Schulz
No, this is the other one.
Dove
This she just beat her to.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, that's fucked up.
Al
Well, she just broke the record. Apparently it was 919 before in 2004.
Dove
I think her friend was saying that she wanted to do a thousand next.
Mark Gagnon
Someone did it in 2004. It wasn't. There was no fucking social media. They did that for the love. Yo. That's crazy.
Al
We just lost out to these.
Andrew Schulz
She said she did it.
Al
She said she did 1057 men in 12 hours. And the earlier record in 2004 was 919 said by Lisa. I just said that.
Andrew Schulz
You did.
Al
That's crazy.
Dove
That's. That's foul. How you going? Yeah, take the record from your friend.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What's that look like afterwards?
Mark Gagnon
Yikes.
Akash Singh
Was it all the s. The. It had to be vagina.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, maybe she was sucking some of them.
Akash Singh
Like, is that.
Andrew Schulz
But that should count.
Mark Gagnon
I don't Think that counts as should count though.
Dove
No.
Mark Gagnon
Ass should count for two, to be honest.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
All right, so what do you guys think about that?
Mark Gagnon
I mean, have she spoken on it? Has she said how awful she feels or anything like that?
Al
She broke a thousand and then There was just 57 people left and she was like, ah, run it up. Apparently.
Mark Gagnon
Jesus.
Akash Singh
What a leg. That's kind of sick. But I mean, if sex means nothing, then why is this different than like a hot dog eating contest?
Mark Gagnon
Cuz it's getting in your vagina contest.
Akash Singh
Yeah, just putting food in your mouth contest, you know? I mean, it's like, yeah. If it's just an act that people do that doesn't have any type of social bearing and it doesn't really matter who you do it with.
Dove
No liberal.
Andrew Schulz
I disagree. I understand.
Akash Singh
If culturally we view sex just like. Yeah, who gives a do whoever, then why is it. Why is. Why are people defying difficult for us?
Andrew Schulz
Because we don't view sex like that entirely. Like there's a number where if you go past it, then sex is this emotional, beautiful act. You know what I mean?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like if somebody went down to Columbia, there was a friend of ours and like four girls in a night, we wouldn't be like, oh, that's disgusting. Like, how could you, you know, ruin the sanctity of this beautiful connection that you could have with another person? Yeah, but then if one of our boys fucked a thousand girls in Colombia. Yeah, he's got. He's got aids, right? Like there's like a concern at a certain point. Right.
Mark Gagnon
He's dead.
Akash Singh
So what is the number that it.
Andrew Schulz
Becomes a pathology that's we should. I think for girls it's like two.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I agree with you.
Akash Singh
I think when girls simultaneous.
Andrew Schulz
If girls have sex with more than one guy in a night, that you're a forever. Isn't that sa. Isn't that sad knowing that you've helped that happen? But it is a girl. Like, what is the number? Like what is the number for your girl if she told you a story and she was like, it was some crazy night in college and there was like five guys and it was just like, right. What do you do? You have to break up? Like, what do you do?
Dove
Oh yeah, we done?
Andrew Schulz
You're done, right? You're done Done? Yeah.
Akash Singh
Two guys. It was a crazy night. Two guys.
Mark Gagnon
I'm out.
Andrew Schulz
Kind of. You're done?
Mark Gagnon
I'm out.
Akash Singh
I mean, you know our answer.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, we have the right.
Akash Singh
There's a crazy guy we dated for four years. I be like, gross.
Andrew Schulz
What the. Yeah, it's kind of more than one ladies. Is the. Is the cut off but for guys? Well, we can only have sex with one at a time.
Dove
Speak for yourself.
Andrew Schulz
Meaning like, I can't you while I'm somebody else.
Akash Singh
But now you're talking about DP if the girls have a sex with two guys, she's only having sex with one guy at a time.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that's even worse.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy what you just said. I mean, that's crazy. What the fuck did you just say, dude?
Akash Singh
I'm just trying to understand the logistics of it.
Andrew Schulz
Like.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I'm. Come on, man.
Akash Singh
I'm saying it's the same thing. Guys can only have sex with one girl at one time. No, but girls can only have sex with one guy.
Andrew Schulz
Sex is putting dick in, right? I can only put dick in one. Like, but if a girl is getting up the ass and in the pussy at the same time, you're just like, come on, that was wrong.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
You know, or if you're like, a dick is in her mouth while a dick is in her vagina. That's insane. And I've done that with girls. And even during it, I'm like, yo, you are. Why would you do this? This is crazy. This is an insane decision that you made completely sober. You were really enthusiastic about. Did you think we think this is cool. We're gonna call you a forever. Why would you do this? What are you doing? You know, do you think my mom's still listening? I think she would agree with our perspective on this part. Yeah. So. So what is the. What is the takeaway from this? Like, do these girls. Enough guys at one time where even like regular promiscuous girls start going, oh, oh, it is kind of gross. Are they going to ruin promiscuity? Like, our generation or me and Al's generation benefited from sexual liberty. Like, we were able to meet girls and have sex with them and there wasn't that big a deal because it was more transactional, like you said. But are these girls proving that that's actually disgusting and guys actually think that's.
Mark Gagnon
Disgusting or you just recalibrate the number at which you're a Now you just raised it. We're desensitized.
Andrew Schulz
So now girls like, well, at least I didn't. A thousand one night. You think I'm a. Yeah, I fuck guys double digits. That's. That's nothing.
Akash Singh
Over 24 hours. That's like two an hour. That's nothing.
Mark Gagnon
That's Light work.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What are the repercussions of this? Cuz it's popular. People know about it. People are commenting. I was just on Instagram, Kevin Love posted about it. He's like, this was our fourth quarter yesterday. I thought it was a funny post.
Al
Did you see she holds up the thousand like the. The. The Will Chamberlain photo.
Mark Gagnon
That's so funny. Okay, that's hilarious. Now that's funny.
Al
Yeah, it's very.
Mark Gagnon
That's really good.
Akash Singh
I mean, bro.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I'm trying to think, like, what is the lasting cost, man? And there's another thing where it's like, she's too pretty to be.
Mark Gagnon
She's a pretty girl.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Dove
She got crazy eyes, though.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I mean, do you think she took a break? Like, was she in the corner, like in Vaseline on her eyebrows at any point?
Andrew Schulz
Let me tell you. Let me tune like a box.
Akash Singh
Get her hands, you know. Let me tell you, getting into a bucket.
Andrew Schulz
I mean this sincerely. If. If you're a guy in England or whatever and at one point you hit on this girl and she rejected you, you need to kill. Okay? Because there is something so hideous and disgusting about you that even this bucket wouldn't let you. Jeez, bonk me for free. Let me film it.
Dove
What's going on in the uk?
Andrew Schulz
Yo, what is going on? That's.
Dove
Y'all gotta get y'all shit together.
Akash Singh
Oh, no. This makes me uncomfortable.
Andrew Schulz
Right?
Dove
Shit.
Andrew Schulz
And why does she have to, like, make a big thing about it? Like, she could have just went into a Pakistani neighborhood. They would have knocked it out in like 25 minutes. Like, why. Why is she going on social media and asking, just walk to the grocery store with your kneecap showing in Pakistani neighborhood. According to Twitter and what Elon Musk is reposting. Yeah.
Akash Singh
Who do you. Who held the last record for. For this?
Al
An American chick.
Akash Singh
And what was she doing?
Al
I forget her name, but since 2004.
Akash Singh
Wow.
Andrew Schulz
So sad.
Akash Singh
Is it the end?
Andrew Schulz
Why? It feels like a real downer. Like, usually we can have fun with these things. I'm more sad about this than the fire in Malibu. Right?
Mark Gagnon
End up claiming more victims, probably.
Andrew Schulz
No, for real. Only I said. I almost said only 24 people.
Akash Singh
Bad.
Andrew Schulz
But like, unfortunately, 24 people died in the California.
Mark Gagnon
It's quite possible 24 died from this.
Andrew Schulz
1,000%.
Akash Singh
What happened to the girl that was selling nudes for the Australia fires? Remember that? No, there's a girl that like, sold, like, made her only fans and donated all the proceeds and made like $5 million for Australia.
Andrew Schulz
Good for her.
Akash Singh
This girl could have done that.
Mark Gagnon
She could have done that.
Akash Singh
I'll suck off the first responder.
Mark Gagnon
A lot more volunteer firefighters, if that is exactly me.
Akash Singh
Hose it down. That'd be fire. You could have helped a lot of people.
Mark Gagnon
This is dei. I can get behind.
Andrew Schulz
Literally, I can't. Yeah, it is odd, huh? It really affected the mood of the pod.
Akash Singh
Gives you a weird feeling.
Dove
Disgusting, bro.
Akash Singh
I don't know.
Dove
It's disgusting.
Andrew Schulz
Why is it disgusting?
Mark Gagnon
It's disgusting.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, it is, but. Well, like, what is? Explain your feelings of disgust.
Mark Gagnon
It's worse now. I'm a former. If she's ugly, I'd be like, hey, get it in girl. But a beautiful girl. I'm like, this is tragic, dude.
Andrew Schulz
That's a really good point.
Dove
I guess that has something to do with it.
Andrew Schulz
But no, tell me, Al, what are you saying?
Dove
Nah. From like being a former to have some standards. That's it.
Andrew Schulz
What do you mean?
Akash Singh
Standard? She broke a record. She became.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but she's just.
Mark Gagnon
True.
Andrew Schulz
She's letting anybody forever.
Dove
She's just letting anybody go. Like, if it was like a thousand attractive dudes, now we don't know.
Akash Singh
We got to see the guys.
Andrew Schulz
What a time to be alive. There is this girl doing this for. And a thousand guys for her only fans or whatever it is. And then. And I. I'm sure this has been talked about in nauseam, but there's that other girl who made like 40 million on only fans. And she's a virgin.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, yeah. Yeah. She's smart.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
She's like. She like goes and dunks on people on these podcasts and like that.
Andrew Schulz
Does she?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, she's well spoken.
Andrew Schulz
I'm like baffled by this.
Dove
Wait, but does she show tits?
Andrew Schulz
Content. But she hasn't had sex yet.
Dove
Yeah, and like, no, but that's that weird group of guys that like, you know, the ones that were waiting for Bad Bunny, a bad Bobby to turn 18.
Andrew Schulz
Bad baby.
Dove
Bad baby to turn 18. And then her gram goes crazy. I'm like, so that means you're looking. Looking at her at 17 countdown. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, this might not be so.
Dove
That is nasty. Anybody those types of pages. I should.
Andrew Schulz
But is this girl 18 years old or is she.
Akash Singh
I believe this is the girl that's a.
Mark Gagnon
This is not the girl.
Andrew Schulz
Sophie Rain.
Al
She's 20. It says so she's 20 years old.
Andrew Schulz
Very attractive girl and she's a virgin. But I imagine she shows, you know, sexy pics or whatever.
Mark Gagnon
That's genius actually.
Andrew Schulz
But like, does this say about the male psyche. There's far more interest in a girl who is beautiful and not than there is in a girl who is everyone.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, it's just the human psyche. You want something that not everybody has.
Andrew Schulz
Access to, but they technically have access to the look. Right. Like if she's showing her boobs, etc. I'm not trying to discredit point. I agree with you. But like, so we're okay with you showing off your body? That to us isn't disgusting. It's the second things enter it.
Mark Gagnon
I think we can justify it also because there is a, an idea of purity attached to her.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
She's showing off her body, but she's still pure, purer than us. She's never had sex. So how I'm allowed to indulge in this guilt free and not feel like, oh, this is. I'm participating in this, blah, blah, blah. This is an empowered girl. She holds onto her morals, does something she's comfortable with. I feel no guilt. She's hot, let's go.
Andrew Schulz
It's guilt free. It's guilt free. Wow.
Mark Gagnon
She's more attractive because she's holding onto her chastity. So it's like a commodity.
Andrew Schulz
Yes, she does. You don't feel that like the other girl. You feel gross. You're like, what did this poor girl go through? Like, sex means nothing to her.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
That it's like dapping somebody up. This other girl, we'd like to believe that she didn't go through that.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
She's just a super hot girl. She's, you know, making money off only fans because guys want to see her naked. But that is way more like guys are paying money to have fake conversations with her on only fans to the tune of $40 million. This girl had to a thousand guys for us to talk about her on the pod and we still don't even know her name.
Dove
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And it's not like the Sophie Rain girl is like that much more beautiful than the other girl.
Mark Gagnon
They're both hot girls.
Andrew Schulz
They're both hot girls.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And the only reason we're Talking about the 1000 guy girl is because she did something that we think is disgusting.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
We're not going, going, oh my God, she's beautiful. They're paying 40 million for this virgin because they're like, holy. Look how hot this girl is that she's. She somehow managed to be this hot and not have sex.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I think men are drawn to like, the scope. Right? Like, it's like, it's ultra purity and Chastity while, like, still being seductive and teasing. And then the other side is like full degradation. And I think that that is like splitting the male psyche.
Andrew Schulz
But are there guys that are into the fact that she's all these dudes? Is that like a kink for them?
Akash Singh
Certainly, I imagine that that is a part of it. I mean, I think that's kind of a part of like, most porn, to be honest with you. It's like there is like a degraded element where, like, seeing beautiful women be degraded is validating for men. And so I think that is taking it to like, it's like farthest logical conclusion.
Al
Apparently Bonnie Blue is making the girl who had sex with a thousand people is making $700,000 a month on that. And she's doing. She did a thing in November of 2023 where she went around to British colleges and slept with any student. And if she could post it online.
Mark Gagnon
Jeez.
Al
Wild.
Dove
Different times.
Akash Singh
So I think it is that like, polar, you know, like pole kind of thing.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Dove
40 mil.
Mark Gagnon
That's three and a half million a month.
Dove
Impressive.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What a world.
Mark Gagnon
She making more money than Jaylen Herz. Ain't that crazy?
Akash Singh
That is wild.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Wait, what is his contract?
Mark Gagnon
It's probably around the same, but just like an NFL quarterback. If she's getting paid. Like an NFL. Like a good NFL quarterback.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
No cte. No sex even.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Dove
Do we believe she's a virgin?
Andrew Schulz
That's. That's where. The only reason I believe it is because she's made so so much money having virginity attached to it that there would be some dude if he smashed that would come out and be like, nah, I hit it. Like, think about how many dudes came out and they were talking about Travis Hunter and his.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, yeah, right.
Andrew Schulz
Like it wasn't every dude who DM'd her. Like, oh, look, she's in my DM. Blah, blah, blah. Like there's a pylon. Yeah. Or some hating ass would be like, oh, no, one of my friends slept with her. She's lying. She shouldn't make all that money. Ah, yeah. There's something unsettling about this.
Mark Gagnon
It's cuz you have a daughter now.
Andrew Schulz
Dude, you think that that's. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
As you twist your ring. Wedding ring and concern.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Like you want to talk to her and figure out what the happened. Yeah. I need to know why it it so meaningless.
Mark Gagnon
Curl dad. Shel is so funny. I just want to get through to it.
Andrew Schulz
But y'all don't have girls. And you feel the same way too, aren't you?
Al
Like, why?
Andrew Schulz
Why? I need to know why you don't care at all. Nothing. No concern.
Akash Singh
I feel it. Intellectually, I'm less, like, disturbed. I think probably the same integral level you are.
Andrew Schulz
Fair enough.
Dove
Yeah. I just think you're disgusting. Me too.
Andrew Schulz
And then where do you go from here? Once you already have that once. You have a thousand bodies in 12 hours, it's like.
Dove
But then I think there's some dudes like Mark Zed that like that. Now it's going to be some dudes that want to wife up the girl with the world record.
Andrew Schulz
But now she can never do less than a thousand.
Dove
Oh, no, I think she can go.
Andrew Schulz
Back to normal, but she can't be like, you can't promote 200 guys this weekend. We'll be like, all right.
Al
Like, yeah, I watched the documentary about the girl who did a hundred. And you would.
Andrew Schulz
You would watch the doc and not the. Why did he watch the fucking?
Akash Singh
What do you think he meant, bro?
Al
No, I didn't watch the fucking.
Andrew Schulz
No, he watched. Somebody did a documentary about it. You. You watched the gay parts? Dude, there's a girl getting. You could get all the same information.
Al
No, I want to know the psyche about it. And like, all right, I feel you on that.
Andrew Schulz
What was she doing?
Al
She. I watched documentary and then I read a bunch of articles about it and a bunch of psychologists were saying that she basically is using sex as self harm. Like, she had no idea what she was doing.
Andrew Schulz
Cutting, right?
Al
Yeah, similar. Like, she basically is, like, using it as a form of like, bodily body mutilation. Thank you. Yeah, and there was a guy, though, in the documentary like, that. They saw all these people signed up and she didn't really have a full understanding. It was sort of fucked the way it all happened. She cries, then it's very sad. But one of the guys wanted to be.
Andrew Schulz
That's the only part that I got turned on by, actually.
Akash Singh
Okay, that's. That's crazy.
Al
But there's a guy, like.
Andrew Schulz
That's when I started jerking off. I was like, all right, we getting somewhere?
Mark Gagnon
What?
Andrew Schulz
I'm talking about some real authentic emotion. Keep it up, Keep it up.
Al
There's a guy who wanted to be last, like, legitimately, like, requested. He's like, I'll show up, but I want to be last. I was like, that's crazy.
Mark Gagnon
So crazy.
Akash Singh
Nah, I've done that at a comedy show before. I get that. Can I go then?
Andrew Schulz
Man, the ego. He must have. I Wonder if they measure the guys. Because she got to say, you can't have, have like a bludgeon. Like, you can't. Yeah. Especially or just at any time. It's like, that's gotta, that's got to be way more taxing. Like a guy with like a 12 inch dick is like taking four dicks.
Mark Gagnon
That's true.
Akash Singh
Four. They could add that. That should be part of the metric. Like, like if it's. If you got a 12 incher, that's two at least.
Andrew Schulz
It's like a total of inches. Really? It's like buying pizza. Like a cool shot.
Akash Singh
Yeah, exactly.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
How many inches of dick do you think she took down? Right. If it's like what, two and a half average.
Al
We can do the math on this.
Andrew Schulz
So, so, so the, the doctor or whatever who was diagnosing her with this. It was like a therapist or something.
Al
It was actually an article after I read that was basically like reviewing it and yeah, they were just like, yeah, it's probably a pretty. It's self harm. It's basically self harm. And she really didn't do a bunch of research on it. But yeah, that's the review.
Akash Singh
All right.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
What did Roger Ebert say? That's. I'm try.
Al
I'm trying to get the full 54 thou. 54. 5,454 inches of dick. I did the math. Wow. 5.61 inches average times 10.
Akash Singh
57.
Andrew Schulz
That's, that's.
Mark Gagnon
How many feet is that? Divide that by 12, yo.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
How tall is that? Like, is that a building?
Mark Gagnon
That's like 600ft of dick.
Al
She took 454ft of dick.
Mark Gagnon
She took a football field of dick.
Andrew Schulz
Can you, can you, can you divide 454 by 10?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Al
45.4.
Andrew Schulz
She took a 45 story building worth of dick.
Mark Gagnon
Jesus Christ, dog.
Akash Singh
Nice.
Andrew Schulz
That's how much dick she took. Look at that. Look at the amount.
Mark Gagnon
That's correct. Crazy dog.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Mark Gagnon
It kind of makes it impressive when you think about it.
Akash Singh
Yeah, right. Like you're almost looking at the Coliseum now.
Andrew Schulz
It's like a feat.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Now it's. Honestly, this might be flipping me.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I'm impressed with this bitch.
Akash Singh
Human beings are capable of so much. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
It's crazy.
Akash Singh
It's just like a triumph of just the human spirit.
Mark Gagnon
It really is.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I mean, it's just remarkable.
Andrew Schulz
How do we use her?
Mark Gagnon
I think we did no, like for.
Andrew Schulz
The benefit of America, like militarily. Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
Maybe put on front line somewhere.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, these are the Type of women where it's like, you could make them honey pots, you know?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And, like, you can still do your horeshit, extract information while you're doing it, and, you know, benefit your country. Now you're a hero.
Akash Singh
But if you're willing to bang a thousand guys, you got. I don't know if you can honey pot. Like, hey, what. What you learn from the Taliban?
Andrew Schulz
Like, I sucked off a bunch.
Akash Singh
Like, did you make. Get the main guy? She's like, no, I was sucking off the other guy.
Mark Gagnon
No, but they canceled all their terrorism.
Andrew Schulz
Plans for your last.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been used as a warfare tactic. I'm pretty sure the US did that. I forgot where.
Dove
But stop talking about your grandma.
Andrew Schulz
And the pot guys.
Mark Gagnon
We're about to hop into our Patreon episode. But before we do, we asked patrons to send in questions every week. They're so fun. And we want to start sharing little previews with you guys. So here's one. Check it out.
Al
What up, fellas?
Andrew Schulz
Happy new year. $20 million. Would you, A, suck a dick to completion, or B, get a Dubai porta potty and take a second and think about it, because it'll reveal a lot of shit about your homies that you thought you knew that you.
Al
It's news to you.
Mark Gagnon
I don't know what that says about me, but Chad's like, shit on my chest. No question. Over sucking a dick.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that's probably true.
Andrew Schulz
It's just so. It's like, degrading. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
You know, Else is degrading sucking a guy's dick to completion?
Andrew Schulz
Not really.
Akash Singh
And then we wonder why wives don't do it. We can't perpetuate this.
Andrew Schulz
I don't think it's that degrading. Like, I think it's a pretty normal thing.
Dove
I don't give a.
Andrew Schulz
It's gross because it's gay, but outside of that, it's not like. It's not like, a degrading act.
Mark Gagnon
Would you rather suck the dick?
Andrew Schulz
No, I'm gonna get on.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but. But it's not.
Andrew Schulz
I agree with.
Akash Singh
It's not super degrading.
Andrew Schulz
It's not degrading. On. Then also, I would rather have someone on my back.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, obviously. But that's not a choice.
Dove
You don't have that choice.
Andrew Schulz
Well, maybe I could negotiate for that.
Akash Singh
Yeah, you could charm them. You could probably charm them. Yeah, my back's actually better.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. So much better.
Dove
Well, then maybe you can negotiate just kissing the dick and not sucking it.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, I kiss a dick for 20 million.
Andrew Schulz
You see, if you kissing a dick just like ma. I don't think that that's gay unless they nut immediately upon kissing.
Akash Singh
That's gay on them. That's gay on them.
Andrew Schulz
Surprise. You nut, like, the part of you.
Mark Gagnon
That was, like, flatter you kiss the side, the shaft, and then avoid any bust.
Andrew Schulz
But what if you kiss the side.
Mark Gagnon
Just shot like that?
Andrew Schulz
Like, would you look at your wife different? Be like, yo, how do you. Like, I'm nice, bro? Like, like, what are you doing that I'm not doing? Like, what am I doing? You not doing? Just kiss the side of it.
Akash Singh
You can teach a course, make another 20 mil. Yeah. Also, is sucking dick for 20 mil even gay? I don't even know it's gay.
Mark Gagnon
No, that's some gay.
Akash Singh
It's not gay.
Andrew Schulz
I don't think it's gay if it's for $20 million. The problem is the motion of moving your head up and down on a dick is super gay. And I'll never get that out of your head.
Akash Singh
Never get that out of your head.
Andrew Schulz
Every time you spend that money. Please let it get out. We're going to let that out.
Akash Singh
Just keep on se.
Andrew Schulz
Hey, dude. It's in your head, and it will be there forever.
Akash Singh
Whose dick is it? I can't even look up.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, don't even start that. Your dad's. Oh, no.
Akash Singh
Why do that? Get out of my head, bro. Stop.
Andrew Schulz
Have you seen your dad's meat?
Akash Singh
Not recently, no.
Andrew Schulz
But, like, as a child, would you see us swinging around in the house or not?
Akash Singh
Never in the house, but I do. I do have a memory of, like, showering. And I think it was that memory. My dad was like, all right, we're not. We're done. Like, we would shower together, and I'd go on a towel, and I'd sit on the. On the side when I was done, shower. And then he would finish. And I have, like, one memory of that, and I think that was, like, the exact age my dad was like.
Andrew Schulz
All right, you're four years old.
Akash Singh
We can't do this.
Andrew Schulz
Wait, why?
Akash Singh
Because you can't. Once your kid makes memories, you can't be showering with them.
Andrew Schulz
Oh. Oh, God. I got it. Got it.
Mark Gagnon
You showered with your dad? Yeah. That's weird, right?
Andrew Schulz
I know.
Mark Gagnon
I know. I can just.
Akash Singh
That's so weird.
Andrew Schulz
That's so weird. Weird. That's not weird. It's not weird if it's our baby. That's some Catholic shit. That is weird. That's weird. Just takes him and showers him in there.
Dove
The dad don't got to be naked.
Akash Singh
Yeah, we're showering, bro.
Andrew Schulz
No, they're both showering.
Akash Singh
At least I have a dad. What are you talking about, bro?
Andrew Schulz
Come on. Shut off. Weird, you know, Shower with a dad. I rather not have a dad. That was good.
Akash Singh
The fact that you're being nice makes me think that it's bad.
Andrew Schulz
It's not weird.
Akash Singh
The fact that you're being so nice.
Mark Gagnon
Makes you think it's really a bad day.
Andrew Schulz
Scar. Don't leave me. Scar. So what happened? Like you would get. He would get out of this.
Akash Singh
Want to talk about.
Andrew Schulz
And then there's so many kids too. It's a conveyor bel. But what were. What were you waiting for? Like what was he doing for him to leave?
Akash Singh
And. And then I was like 3 years old.
Mark Gagnon
Why was your dad still showing?
Andrew Schulz
Why did you get out?
Al
It's cold.
Andrew Schulz
Was he like washing you up?
Akash Singh
Yeah, cuz I didn't. I didn't wash my hair in my ears.
Andrew Schulz
So he would wash you up.
Mark Gagnon
He. Why he got to be naked?
Andrew Schulz
That's what I'm saying. Why he's pop.
Akash Singh
In the shower?
Andrew Schulz
It's a shower. It's hard to like put your hands just in the shower. My dad has done that.
Mark Gagnon
I remember my dad doing that.
Andrew Schulz
Yes, it's very easy. So he would get in the shower and then he would. And so he would bust or like.
Akash Singh
No, get it out of my head. Put that in my head.
Mark Gagnon
Removable shower head.
Andrew Schulz
So you're sitting there with your towel on. And you're sitting there.
Akash Singh
It's not that funny, Al. Either it's normal or it's traumatic. You shouldn't be laughing.

**Podcast Summary: Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Episode: **LA Fires: Why No One Seems to Care & Who’s Really to Blame
Release Date: January 15, 2025
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant podcast episode delves into the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, exploring the underlying causes, societal indifference, media portrayal, and the political accountability surrounding these disasters. Throughout the episode, hosts Andrew Schulz, Akaash Singh, along with AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon, engage in an unfiltered and candid discussion, characteristic of the podcast's unapologetic style.
The episode kicks off with Andrew Schulz challenging Mark Gagnon’s beliefs on supernatural entities, which segues into broader discussions about communication and belief systems. However, the primary focus quickly shifts to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles and their multifaceted impact on the community.
Notable Quote:
Andrew Schulz [05:29]: "But you think that it's flat. It's not flat at all."
The hosts discuss the environmental and regulatory factors contributing to the severity of the LA wildfires. They highlight the combination of extreme weather conditions, such as hurricane-level winds and prolonged droughts, that exacerbate fire risks.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Mark Gagnon [02:00]: "If you just buy land and wait for California or for LA to go Republican now?"
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the perceived lack of empathy from the general public and media regarding the wildfire victims. The hosts argue that media coverage often focuses disproportionately on the properties of the wealthy and famous, ignoring the plight of ordinary families and renters who suffer immense losses.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Andrew Schulz [11:29]: "Stop talking. The famous people's houses that burned down. Talk about the school. What's that neighborhood, Altadena, they're talking about."
The conversation intensifies as the hosts critique political leaders, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom, for their handling of the wildfire crisis. They accuse officials of lacking accountability, prioritizing political gains over effective disaster management, and neglecting vulnerable populations.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Mark Gagnon [06:01]: "We've been looking at stuff in LA, the house that we had been looking at the whole time. Like, this is a fucking great piece of property. Yesterday just got cleared off of Compass. Not for sale, not for rent. That shit burned to the ground and that. Crazy."
The episode explores the broader socio-economic ramifications of the wildfires, particularly focusing on the housing market, insurance challenges, and the displacement of residents. The hosts predict a potential collapse in the housing market due to uninsurable properties, leading to a shift towards cash purchases and reduced availability for average buyers.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Andrew Schulz [07:15]: "One of the first questions I asked Jason, how quickly are y'all going to buy up this dirt? And he was like. And this is what he said. He goes, it's uninsurable, not worth it."
The hosts touch upon the environmental degradation caused by the fires, including the loss of biodiversity and damage to ecosystems. They also discuss the long-term effects of climate change on fire prevalence and intensity, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices to prevent future disasters.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Akash Singh [05:27]: "But I heard it and I was like, yes."
In wrapping up, the hosts reiterate the urgent need for comprehensive policy reforms, increased funding for disaster management, and a shift in public perception to foster greater empathy and proactive support for affected communities. They advocate for holding political leaders accountable and implementing sustainable environmental practices to mitigate future wildfire risks.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
Andrew Schulz [16:40]: "I think what you're seeing right now is there are a lot of people below the power line. They feel no hope whatsoever. And they're maybe not going out and killing the CEO, but they are celebrating it or having zero empathy for it."
Throughout the episode, the hosts intersperse discussions about personal experiences, societal observations, and lighter topics to maintain an engaging and dynamic conversation. Despite the digressions, the central theme of the LA wildfires remains a consistent thread, underscoring the episode's critical analysis of the disaster's causes and consequences.
Notable Quotes:
Andrew Schulz [12:01]: "Like, you have to swim right back to Hamilton and one of the girls just left."
Mark Gagnon [18:11]: "Progressivism is dead."
Conclusion
This episode of Flagrant provides a comprehensive and unfiltered examination of the LA wildfires, highlighting the complex interplay between environmental factors, political accountability, media portrayal, and socio-economic impacts. Through candid discussions and blunt critiques, Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts shed light on why these disasters receive insufficient attention and emphasize the urgent need for systemic changes to address both current and future wildfire challenges.
