Date: May 13, 2026
Hosts: Andrew Schulz, Akaash Singh, AlexxMedia, Mark Gagnon, Miles Media

---

Episode Overview

This episode of Flagrant is a whirlwind blend of comedy, razor-sharp commentary, and unsparing riffs on current events. The gang dives into reactions from Netflix's recent roast (Kevin Hart Roast at Netflix is a Joke Fest), the perils (and comedic absurdities) of parenting and travel, cultural gripes, bizarre viral threats, and the latest on the Knicks' playoff run. True to Flagrant’s name, the episode is unapologetically provocative, full of hilarious hot takes that dance right on the boundaries of taste.

---

1. Parenting, Travelling with Kids, and Screen Addiction

(00:40–13:18)

Key Points

• Traveling with Kids is Hell: Mark and Alex riff about how brutal it is to fly with their young children.
• Screen Time Debate: Mark’s wife wanted a “screen-free” flight with their toddler, leading to a breakdown in which both Mark AND his kid become absorbed by Cocomelon on a loop.
• Modern Parenting vs. Ancestors: The gang jokes that historic stories of children dying on the Oregon Trail were probably convenience killings because travel was so tough without tablets.
• Cocomelon vs. Sesame Street: Nothing compares to the addictive, overstimulating rush of modern kid's shows. Old classics simply can’t compete.

Notable Quotes

• AlexxMedia (03:33): “Imagine your first time trying any drug is fentanyl…there was no gateway, just CocoMelon.”
• Andrew Schulz (04:41): “You don’t feel bad about that?” [on screens]
• Mark Gagnon (06:43): “Yeah, but it’s a flight...without the kids.” [explaining why he’d route his flights to avoid traveling with kids]

Memorable Moment

• Mark realizing he could get to LA alone and the group breaking down laughing about “Delta One Lounge without kids.” (06:35–07:37)

---

2. Scams, Traveling Cultures, and Gypsy Bareknuckle Fights

(09:55–16:12)

Key Points

• Gypsy/Roma Scams: Andrew tells the story of getting hustled for $500 by a family feigning emergency, including a fake Rolex as collateral.
• Cultural Differences in Street Scamming: The crew compares “business” scams in the US with more direct, narrative-driven ones abroad.
• Bare-Knuckle Gypsy Fights: They discuss the documentary “Knuckle” and the brutal, rule-light tradition of Irish Traveler bare-knuckle bouts.

Notable Quotes

• Andrew Schulz (10:59): “$500 later, I’m embarrassed. And I drove away with a fake Rolex.”
• Mark Gagnon (12:11): “I swallow it so he remembers the fight he had with me.” [on the gypsy fighter's technique]

---

3. Immunity, Dirty New York, and Hantavirus Paranoia

(13:15–17:00, 80:12–83:46)

Key Points

• NYC Immunity: The crew jokes that being raised NY-tough (eating off sidewalks, riding subways) explains why they “didn’t get Covid.”
• Hantavirus Anxiety: Reactions to news of a Hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, lampooning both the Dutch “patient zero” (who caught it birdwatching at a landfill) and global pandemic responses.
• Outbreak Humor: “Keep them on the boat!” – the new pandemic policy per Flagrant.

Notable Quotes

• Miles Media (16:01): “That’s why I’m not worried about hantavirus.”
• AlexxMedia (82:06): “If it’s a deadly virus, keep them on the boat…see what happens.”

---

4. Foot Fetish, New York Shoe Culture, and Sexualization

(19:02–25:00)

Key Points

• Public Breastfeeding and Social Norms: Parenting transforms bodily attitudes (“your wife’s tits are for the streets”).
• Foot Fetish Geography: Joking analysis of why foot fetishes thrive in cities (NY, Chicago) where feet are rarely on display.
• Hidden Proclivities: Outing your kinks might make the “forbidden fruit” less desirable.

Notable Quotes

• AlexxMedia (19:13): “Once you have kids, your wife’s tits is for the streets, bro.”
• Mark Gagnon (23:15): “For me, it’s like seeing a foot is like a Muslim dude seeing hair.”

---

5. Netflix Roast Deep Dive

(25:00–44:58, 101:13–101:55)

Key Points

• Brutality and Consent: The Cheryl Underwood “dead husband” jokes—how far is too far? Debating the line between edgy and cruel.
• The Role of Roasts in Culture: Roasts are unique in that participants know the rules: nothing’s off-limits, but there’s a social contract and a ritual “priming” that makes the meanness not just permissible, but essential.
• Children and Spouses as Roast Targets: Where’s the line? Kids are almost always off-limits, spouses only if they’re public figures.
• Process and Writing: Most celebrity roast participants use professional joke writers—roast-writing is its own specialized comedy craft.
• Favorite Roast Moments: Naim Lin’s “Filipino ladyboy” joke at Dave Chappelle’s wife, Tony Hinchcliffe’s “Regina Hall vs. Lizzo (stairs)” slam, and Lizzo’s great energy as a surprise guest.

Notable Quotes

• Andrew Schulz (25:47): “But then what? She’s gonna be a pussy and be like, ‘No, it bothers me?’”
• Mark Gagnon (27:04): “For the general public, having an environment for super dark, Roasty, borderline aggressive comedy is nice when it exists within a specific forum.”
• Tony Hinchcliffe (37:10, paraphrased): “Chelsea Handler is aging like a vegetable in Lizzo’s fridge.”
• Andrew Schulz (43:41): “It seemed like there was some real animosity on that stage. They weren’t doing that creative acting."

Memorable Moment

• The entire group dissecting the craft of roast-writing and how head writers manage overlap on topics like Kevin Hart's height or Tom Brady's ex.

---

6. Knicks Playoff Superstitions and City Unity

(48:23–54:52)

Key Points

• NY Knicks Mania: The hosts (New Yorkers) are deeply superstitious about jinxing the Knicks’ playoff run—don’t talk about it, don’t post, don’t party.
• Public Service Announcement: Knicks players are forbidden from clubbing or being distracted by “NY hoes”—New Yorkers urged to snitch if spotted out.
• Superstition & Faith: The only thing denizens of New York believe in more than basketball is the jinx.

Notable Quotes

• AlexxMedia (52:09): “Do not drain these guys, please. New York hoes—stay away, keep that p***y closed for one month. This is blood sport.”
• Mark Gagnon (50:46): “There’s a weird feeling in New York right now, like a jinx is coming…”

Memorable Moment

• The group inventing a civic-duty snitch line (“call 311”) to report players getting distracted.

---

7. Chinese Spy Mayor in Arcadia, CA

(65:02–75:59)

Key Points

• “I Told You So” Energy: AlexxMedia claims vindication for his long-standing warnings about Chinese state influence in the US, now that it’s been revealed there’s a Chinese spy as mayor in Arcadia, CA.
• How’d She Get Elected?: The hosts marvel at how an alleged spy can become a city leader and riff on the “biblical names” pattern among Chinese-American politicians.
• Double Standards: A hypothetical: if an American became mayor in China, it’d assume espionage without question—and yet to do so in the US is labeled “racist.”

Notable Quotes

• AlexxMedia (65:12): “Alex Media has said that there is a Chinese spy network… He’s been called racist, hateful.”
• Mark Gagnon (76:05): “If an American moved there and became an elected official, I would think that they would be...to not assume that they had loyalty to America?”

---

8. Epstein Suicide Note & Justice Absurdities

(85:53–91:40)

Key Points

• Epstein Files Released: Trump releases a batch of “UFO files,” which turn out to be underwhelming, and an alleged Epstein suicide note that the crew lampoons as fake and suspiciously “Trump-ish” in tone.
• Absurd Gender Irony: Despite the pervasiveness of the Epstein sex trafficking operation, the only person convicted is Ghislaine Maxwell, a woman.

Notable Quotes

• AlexxMedia (87:34): [reads note] “What do you want me to do? Bust out crying? No fun. Not worth it.”
• AlexxMedia (89:23): “So far, the only person that’s been arrested in the entire Epstein case in the United States of America is a woman.”
• Andrew Schulz (90:56): “She should be convicted... but there must have been somebody else we could convict too.”

---

9. UFC Recap: Strickland vs. Khamzat, Fight Sports & Trash Talk

(92:29–98:47)

Key Points

• Fight Recap: Strickland’s tactical victory over Khamzat Chimaev and the psychology of top-level MMA. Strickland forced Khamzat to abandon his strengths.
• The Appeal of Carnage: Discussion of why stand-up fighters and knockout artists are bigger hits with fans than grapplers.
• Bare-Knuckle Fighting: The underground world of no-holds-barred fighting and how the appetite for violence drives fight sport economics.

Notable Quotes

• Mark Gagnon (94:59): “When he’s at his best, he makes you fight his fight.”

---

10. Closing Thoughts & Aftershow Bits

(99:19–end)

Key Themes

• Good Vibes Only for Knicks: The guys wrap up with a plea for continued positive energy for NYC’s basketball hopes.
• Reality Television Pitches: A comedic brainstorm of “Traders: Spy Edition,” where mayors and skiers must prove their loyalty on a boat (possibly with hantavirus).
• More Roasts Needed: The consensus is that roasts should remain special, maybe every two to four years, to retain their event status.

Transcript

[Andrew Schultz]

All new drinks are now at McDonald's

[Alex Media]

with refreshers like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Mango Pineapple Refresher with Popping Boba. To crafted sodas like the Sprite Berry

[Andrew Schultz]

Blast with berry flavors and cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire?

[Alex Media]

Try them all now at McDonald's.

[Mark Gagnon]

Refreshers contain caffeine. Copyright 2026, the Coca Cola Company Sprite is a registered trademark of the Coca Cola Company.

[Alex Media]

What's up, everybody? And Welco Flagrance, your boy Schultzy. Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, Miles Media in the building.

[Mark Gagnon]

How are you guys?

[Andrew Schultz]

These roasts are getting brutal, bro. I mean, I'm getting soft.

[Alex Media]

I'm getting soft. Some of these jokes, I was like, ouch, get off the Internet, bro. Get off the Internet. The Internet will have you making you. Have you feeling that things are worse than they are, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

When they talked about, well, we get to get into it later. But fuck, it was. You didn't feel none of the jokes were a little rough?

[Alex Media]

We'll get into it.

[Mark Gagnon]

We'll get into it, man. We flew back from California a couple days with both kids.

[Miles Media]

Oh, nice.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know how Epstein did it, dude.

[Alex Media]

I'll be honest with you. Traveling with kids is so fucking brutal, bro. He had to have a different plane, right? Like, there's no way you've taken him on your plane.

[Miles Media]

Nah, those kids were Delta.

[Mark Gagnon]

They had.

[Alex Media]

They had to. It is. It is crazy that they haven't devised a system, a place to put the kids. Yeah, like, because they did it with the animals. Right? Like, I'm not saying. And I'm very grateful for my kids,

[Mark Gagnon]

don't get me wrong.

[Miles Media]

Of course, of course.

[Alex Media]

But five hours on the screen.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you see, Epstein died. Spirits no longer here.

[Miles Media]

Oh.

[Alex Media]

At least with spirit, they get to watch violence, you know, like, because my kid's not on the screen, but he could watch two baby mamas beat the shit out of each other. But, like, we were.

[Mark Gagnon]

We were just sitting there. My wife's is like, we're not doing any screens. And I was like, what? Yeah. And she's like, yeah, we're not doing any screens. And my wife is in the seat in front of us, and I'm behind with Shiloh.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's kind of up of her.

[Alex Media]

Yo, yo. But she's breastfeeding the baby and everything like that.

[Mark Gagnon]

And I'm back, and, like, I tried to do no screens. And, like, I threw on. I threw on that cocoa melons, bro.

[Alex Media]

My screen. I put the cocoa melons I didn't even have my volume on.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't think I blink for 30 minutes straight.

[Alex Media]

That should be illegal. That's terrorism. Yeah, bro. It's so many flashing lights, and I'm literally, like, glued. My daughter is glued to the screen. My daughter's getting jump scared. Like, there's so much stimulus. My daughter keeps going like this. Like, she goes. She goes, huh? And then she'll look at me, she'll be like. And this is her first time. Imagine your first time trying any drug is fentanyl.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Or heroin. There was no gateway. No screen to Coco Melon.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep. I think we gotta show Cocoa Melon.

[Andrew Schultz]

So wonderful. So on Mother's Day, the one rule your wife asked you not to do, he broke.

[Alex Media]

And almost.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, no, no, no. I broke it.

[Alex Media]

I broke the out.

[Miles Media]

No, because they weren't watching it. You were watching it. And they chose.

[Mark Gagnon]

I put on Shiloh's.

[Miles Media]

Shit.

[Alex Media]

I put on Shiloh's. They both started watching this again. I put on Shiloh's crew thinking I

[Mark Gagnon]

was gonna scroll my phone and talk to y'. All.

[Alex Media]

And I didn't even open my phone. I was so locked into Coco Melons. Dude, there's a moment.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, that is. Yeah, it is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, it's nonstop. And this is just an intro you already locked in.

[Miles Media]

And this is no volume. So that way it feels like how you guys were watching it. Also, for the record, guess how many views this has. Random guess what?

[Andrew Schultz]

A billion.

[Miles Media]

Eight billion.

[Alex Media]

What?

[Miles Media]

Eight billion views. This has more views than people on the planet.

[Mark Gagnon]

What? Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Al, you get addicted to it. You got to understand.

[Mark Gagnon]

My daughter's never seen an iPad, never seen a screen. And then I put on the music.

[Alex Media]

Yes, son. That's crazy. You should have seen.

[Miles Media]

Yo, the flight attendant came around.

[Alex Media]

She was like, oh. At first I had no headphones on for her.

[Mark Gagnon]

I was like, we're just going to watch the screen because I thought that might be too stimulating.

[Alex Media]

I put the headphones on and no bullshit. The second I put the headphones on, she watch.

[Mark Gagnon]

And I'm watching her and I just

[Alex Media]

see her slowly smile like this Sl. Low, ear to ear, Cheshire Cat smile creeps across her face. And I'm watching my kid become addicted

[Mark Gagnon]

to something in real time.

[Miles Media]

Yep. Yep.

[Alex Media]

Woo. Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Dude.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't feel bad about that?

[Alex Media]

Feel bad? I could be a dad now. You just need Coco milk. All these people complaining about, like, how hard it is to raise kids when you got screens.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't want to hear none of

[Alex Media]

that no more, bro. I Tried to put on the first

[Mark Gagnon]

episode of Sesame Street.

[Alex Media]

Emma downloaded it onto the iPad.

[Miles Media]

That's good.

[Mark Gagnon]

The first ever episode of Sesame Street.

[Alex Media]

It's probably trash the way Shiloh couldn't give a fuck after watching Coco Melon. It was like smoking a cigarette after

[Mark Gagnon]

you inject heroin straight into your fucking

[Alex Media]

zero.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Didn't even understand it logically. Like, she was like, why is he in the garbage? Like. Like there was no. She's like, why is this entertaining or fun? Yeah. And this transformed television, this one show transformed television.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep.

[Miles Media]

I mean, you've seen little kids react to cocomelon, right? You see the videos? No, I'm trying to find one. There's videos of, like, little kids hearing the theme song and they go crazy. Look at this little kid sleeping.

[Alex Media]

Oh, give me that. This show is bad, bro.

[Mark Gagnon]

You can't do it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow.

[Mark Gagnon]

You can't do it.

[Miles Media]

They get so fired up.

[Alex Media]

But you also can't.

[Mark Gagnon]

Alien is crazy. You also can't fly for five hours with two kids. You can't do that. Yeah, that's.

[Alex Media]

That's an impossible task.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know how people did that.

[Andrew Schultz]

The fact that she asked you to do that is. That was mean. That's mean to everybody else in a place.

[Alex Media]

The other thing, like, I didn't even

[Mark Gagnon]

think about no one else on the plane. Like, they didn't even enter my brain.

[Alex Media]

All I. Like, it did, like, oh, it could be uncomfortable for them.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't care.

[Alex Media]

Is that mean? Is that selfish?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

No. You locked in? Yeah, locked.

[Mark Gagnon]

I think you just become so focused. Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Micro focused on just, like, making sure your kids.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

I don't want to snitch on you, but he did something so funny. We were trying to figure out routing for flights because we were like, in Denver, he was like, maybe I go back to New York, then I go to la. And I was like, well, you know, if you go to New York, we can get some stuff done, then you go to la. And he was like, yeah, but I could go straight to la. And I was like, yeah, it's just time away from the family, though. And he goes, yeah, but it's a

[Mark Gagnon]

flight without the kids.

[Alex Media]

I was like, bro, he's scheduling his geographical travel to not fly. Can I tell y' all something?

[Andrew Schultz]

Can I tell y' all something?

[Alex Media]

I ain't shit. Can I tell you something? Emma brought it up to me.

[Mark Gagnon]

She goes. She goes, why don't you just go right from Denver to la, and then we'll just come to Santa Barbara earlier because it was her dad's 80th birthday.

[Andrew Schultz]

Never said yes. Faster.

[Alex Media]

I was about to, and I had to be like, I had to stop it, because I couldn't let her know. She was testing how excited I was. And I was like, I don't know if that makes sense.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, I should probably just fly back.

[Alex Media]

And then we all go back. And she's like, it doesn't even make any sense.

[Mark Gagnon]

I would just go straight to la. You could do your meetings or whatever. And I was like, all right, man. I guess fine.

[Alex Media]

If you insist. If you insist, I'll avoid that.

[Miles Media]

Five hours, I'm gonna be in the Delta One Lounge.

[Alex Media]

With who, though?

[Miles Media]

You know, who will I be with?

[Alex Media]

I'll be totally alone.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bro, no wonder you drove to the airport with us, because you felt bad

[Alex Media]

that she had to do that flight off by us. I was like, yo, why are you

[Andrew Schultz]

coming with us to pick her up from the airport? Like, if she flew alone, she could take a Uber.

[Miles Media]

It's not even like he had a car. He got dropped off at the airport on his feet, like, gta.

[Alex Media]

He was just grabbing all the bags quick, throwing them in the back of the car. I was doing everything I possibly could. We got into the car, both kids asleep. Immediately, I was like, yo, this was hard for y' all to travel with the kids. It's so difficult about this.

[Miles Media]

It is my least favorite part of parenting. I truly love being a dad.

[Mark Gagnon]

Except travel.

[Alex Media]

You need. You need another vacation once you land, like, you. You land from vacation with the kids. And any relaxation that you got for the week away.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Is evaporated on that flight because there's nothing on the flight. Ye. My daughter grabbed the scoop of ice

[Mark Gagnon]

cream with her whole hands.

[Miles Media]

Yep. Mm.

[Alex Media]

You know how they bring the scoop of ice cream? I was like, she wants some ice cream. She's like, yes. I was like, hold on.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm just gonna get the spoon. I went to unwrap the spoon that's in the napkin.

[Alex Media]

She just went boom, boom. Slam that shit right in her face. Chocolate sauce everywhere. Fucking whipped cream everywhere. She's like, coco Melon Coco.

[Andrew Schultz]

He turned into a savage.

[Miles Media]

I don't even believe those stories. And people were like, oh, like, the travelers went west, and, like, five of their kids died.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, no, no. They killed him.

[Miles Media]

They killed the kids. 100 Johnny got rickets back in Oregon.

[Alex Media]

Typhoon fever or whatever it is. You left that because they didn't have iPads.

[Miles Media]

Think about that. So you had to travel from, like, what, Denver to Oregon with that iPad?

[Mark Gagnon]

There are.

[Alex Media]

There are people called travelers. They're gypsies. And their choice in life is to only travel with the kids.

[Miles Media]

And what do they do with their kids? Send them around to go do scams in Paris.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, and they drug them.

[Alex Media]

I think that's why they drunk on. That's the only way to travel with the kids.

[Andrew Schultz]

Makes so much sense now.

[Alex Media]

Son, there is no way. I used to feel.

[Mark Gagnon]

I used to think that those people

[Alex Media]

were evil with the drug kids on the slip.

[Andrew Schultz]

They are people.

[Alex Media]

They trying to get by. They try to get by. They're travelers. They're traveling every day. They live in a Winnebago. Their home is their car. That's a good point.

[Andrew Schultz]

Evil. They got me for 501 time.

[Miles Media]

No, 500.

[Alex Media]

500. What? You was walking around with $500?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I went to the. I don't want to tell the story.

[Alex Media]

No, you not even have to tell it.

[Miles Media]

Which all. Also, there's gypsy.

[Alex Media]

All I do is I kept this

[Andrew Schultz]

with the tuck for like four years.

[Alex Media]

Tell me, tell me, tell me.

[Miles Media]

Shout out to the Roma, bro. I love the Roma. After they over tell me story.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right, so I'm traveling to Philly. I'm at American Ch.

[Alex Media]

You dumb motherfucker. They send their beauty. This is the.

[Andrew Schultz]

We don't got gypsies here. I never met a gypsy in my life.

[Alex Media]

So what did you think it was? You're a travel dude. You've been around the world.

[Andrew Schultz]

Big dude came to me. He's like, yo, I'm charging. And so he comes up to me. He's like, yo, we. We ran out of gas. We have to go on this long trip. We're seeing family. The kids are like, sick in the car. He brings me over, the kids look sick in the car. And I'm like, yo, what do you need, bro? He's like, yo, don't worry. I'm gonna pay you back. I promise. He starts taking off his jewelry and shit like that. You could hold this. You get.

[Alex Media]

Yep, bro, $500 later, I'm embarrassed.

[Andrew Schultz]

And I drove away with a fake Rolex.

[Alex Media]

I'm embarrassed. Well, you kept the watch. You kept the watch. Get my money back.

[Andrew Schultz]

But, yeah, they got me. I never met a gypsy before in my life. And usually our homeless, they never use kids. Yeah, so that was my first time.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And I felt bad for the fact

[Miles Media]

you kept the watch. Makes me feel no sympathy for you at all.

[Andrew Schultz]

The guy, he was insisting.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's the scam.

[Andrew Schultz]

He was insisting a guy needed help,

[Miles Media]

and you were like, I'll help you.

[Mark Gagnon]

But also, do you know how gypsies are known for bare knuckle fighting? Did you gu know that this is part of, like, their history and lore? The Irish gypsies, I know, like, like

[Miles Media]

the Gypsy king, like, is part of this or not?

[Alex Media]

Of course.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. A lot of these fighters come from that lineage. But, like, the actual ones, there's this. This documentary called Knuckle, where it goes into, like, what the. The. The actual street fights were about. And there's, like, rules to this. There's like a dirty one you could have where everything goes eye gouging, biting. I watch a fight where a dude bit the dude's nose off. Tip of his nose bit that right off.

[Alex Media]

There was a dude that said. There was a dude that said, I'm.

[Mark Gagnon]

I wish I knew his name. He goes, after I bite someone's flesh off, I don't spit it out because then he could sew it back on.

[Alex Media]

Damn.

[Mark Gagnon]

I swallow it. So he remembers the fight he had with me.

[Alex Media]

Anyway, this is.

[Miles Media]

What year is this roughly?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know. Look up the documentary Knuckle. I think it just came out recently, but it looks amazing. I was watching like a million Instagram clips about it. Oh, my God, it's so brutal.

[Miles Media]

This. This one right here.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alex Media]

And it's all.

[Mark Gagnon]

Literally, It's Hatfields and McCoy's. Like, it's all familial.

[Alex Media]

What are that called? What is that called?

[Miles Media]

Feuds.

[Alex Media]

Yes.

[Mark Gagnon]

I wouldn't say blood feud where you have to like, kill somebody. They actually squash something in the ring. So it's like if you guys have beef, you fight it out. And that's where it is allegedly like

[Andrew Schultz]

a duel or some shit.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like. Yeah. I actually think that Tyson Fury's dad got locked up for years because of something that happened in one of these fights. Because Tyson Fury's dad was a like, you know, gypsy bare knuckle guy. Anyway, point I'm trying to say is they're so angry because they're traveling with kids.

[Alex Media]

Like, this is why these guys gotta fight is because their life is traveling with kids and they have like seven kids. Yeah. In one Winnebago.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

You gotta get that out. You gotta get it out the system.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm so mad. I reminded myself of that story and I'm still pissed the fuck off.

[Alex Media]

Shut down.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Alex Media]

It is tough when we get got

[Mark Gagnon]

as New Yorkers because we're used to scams.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alex Media]

Like every moment you leave your house is a scam.

[Andrew Schultz]

But they Hit me with the new one. That was never sorta.

[Mark Gagnon]

We're not used to that. Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

And kids look sick in the back.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

I feel like American scams are always, like, business oriented. You know what I mean? It's like, hey, like, I just need a dollar for this thing. Like, I'm trying to start something. Like, it's always like, like vaguely entrepreneurial. Whereas over there, like, gypsies will just be like, my family's dying, so just

[Andrew Schultz]

say what you want to say. This is a black kid dancing in the subway. Like, he dancing around and entrepreneur.

[Alex Media]

I'm doing this for my basketball team.

[Miles Media]

That's a business.

[Alex Media]

I respect the basketball team, but I

[Mark Gagnon]

respect that more than a pole dancer.

[Alex Media]

There was things like something happened. It don't matter how nice you are pole dancing. Like, why are we giving respect to that? These guys are pole dancing on the subway. Flips and shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, you gotta get what you're doing.

[Alex Media]

The best hoes are doing flips too. How do they not pause that? Yeah, how do they not pause that?

[Andrew Schultz]

They're not taking their clothes off. They're not taking the clothes off. That's the difference.

[Miles Media]

They take their jackets off a lot. I held them one time. One time.

[Alex Media]

They give you their hat. Take your hat back.

[Miles Media]

My first day in New York, I'm on the train with my suitcase and one of the guys is dancing and he goes, hey, man, can I get some water? And I'm holding the water bottle. I was like, sure. He takes it, puts his lips on it, closes it, gives it back to me, and then leaves. And I was just like, damn.

[Mark Gagnon]

And that guy's been holding a pole on a subway all day.

[Alex Media]

That's maybe one of the more German fested human beings.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. And I felt like an asshole.

[Alex Media]

Why?

[Miles Media]

He's on public transit.

[Alex Media]

He's on. He's. He's holding the pole.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm sure they purell after, you know, Let me just.

[Alex Media]

Come on. Yeah, I'll give it a benefit of doubt. This is coming from a guy who

[Andrew Schultz]

doesn't wash his hands.

[Alex Media]

Take a shit. I don't wash my hands. You are the most determined. But he doesn't own subways. I rode the subway my whole life. That's why I didn't get Covid. Like you seven times, okay?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no, that is true.

[Alex Media]

New Yorkers didn't get Covid.

[Andrew Schultz]

You do got weak ass.

[Alex Media]

No, you didn't get Covid.

[Miles Media]

I got it twice. I got it twice.

[Alex Media]

But you, because you didn't build up your immunity, you were Here.

[Mark Gagnon]

Not taking the subway.

[Alex Media]

We've been taking the subway our entire lives.

[Miles Media]

I actually do think there's something to that.

[Andrew Schultz]

This.

[Alex Media]

There's nothing that hasn't been in my mouth. I've been on the subway my whole life, holding on to the pole. Yeah.

[Miles Media]

My little baby dropped his apple on the sidewalk, picked it up and ate it.

[Mark Gagnon]

And I was like, oh, that's okay, bro.

[Alex Media]

That's okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's doodle on that sidewalk. Yeah, I know there's doodle on it.

[Miles Media]

But now he's going to be built a little differently.

[Mark Gagnon]

Your kid will be built different 100%. That's why I'm not worried about Han virus or whatever a little bit. I'm not.

[Miles Media]

It spreads from rat poop. Second rat poop is what?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, but this new one is human to human. Yeah. So you got.

[Miles Media]

But now we're both ways. Because we got rats and humans.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah. But it's some fucking, like, weird Dutchman that was using a rat as a vibrator or something like that. You know, they're into some freaky shit over there.

[Miles Media]

You know, the Dutch, those rat.

[Mark Gagnon]

They're rat. 100 rat.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't want people to die, but I wouldn't mind another pandemic.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo.

[Alex Media]

I'm really not.

[Mark Gagnon]

But we're not shutting it down again.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, we got shut down.

[Miles Media]

That's the wait.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's the part I want.

[Miles Media]

If it's not a shutdown and no one's dying, then how's it a pandemic?

[Alex Media]

What do you want? We gotta keep it open. It's just people get sick. We gotta keep it open.

[Miles Media]

I like his version better. I like everything shut down when no one dies.

[Mark Gagnon]

Not shutting it down. We can't shut it down again, bro.

[Alex Media]

I got two kids. We need to get their energy out. I don't think we talked enough about the moms and dads that had kids

[Mark Gagnon]

in the house during the whole pandemic.

[Alex Media]

God bless them.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's where you got a billion views.

[Alex Media]

Probably low key.

[Miles Media]

Probably.

[Alex Media]

Look at. Look at where them views came from. 2020.

[Mark Gagnon]

Also, all of our shows very quickly, Salt Lake City this coming weekend. Thank you guys so much. All shows are sold out. I love you, Salt Lake.

Awesome. And thank you so much. Everybody came out and saw us rock out and that was a pretty fucking awesome night. So we really appreciate you, Mark.

[Miles Media]

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

And your girl breastfeeds. Do you screen? Do you pull a screen? That way people can't look.

[Alex Media]

Can I be honest with you, man?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Once you have kids, your wife's tits is for the streets, bro. They really are, dude. They really are. I know it sounds crazy, but it's like you're not as protective over them as due respects.

[Andrew Schultz]

Your.

[Alex Media]

That's crazy. That's their decision, it's not ours. Their decision is for the streets.

[Andrew Schultz]

You just gave your wife tits up for the streets.

[Alex Media]

I didn't. I didn't. But that baby gotta eat. That baby gotta eat, man. But y' all don't cover the baby.

[Guest/Caller]

Cover.

[Miles Media]

Sometimes you do a cover. Sometimes, like the shirt kind of hangs. And sometimes I will. I will set a pic and I'll try to like cover a little.

[Alex Media]

Protect your tit. That's your tit. A little.

[Miles Media]

And then she'll be like, what are you doing? I'm like, well, yeah, just, you know, just in case she's like, it's fine.

[Alex Media]

Nah, you gotta also just like, the baby pulls off and then he sucked the titty into an Aladdin shoe.

[Miles Media]

Oh.

[Alex Media]

And it's just like flat and curled at the ends. And then you dap him up. Yeah, boy. Get that milk. Get that milk. Link, bro.

[Miles Media]

I heard a story of a girl that popped it out to feed her baby.

[Alex Media]

And then did someone else sucked on it?

[Miles Media]

No, no, I seen that on the subway.

[Alex Media]

I seen that. A girl popped the titty off, dude. Popped right off of the fucking pole. And just.

[Miles Media]

No, she got up to go to the bathroom, gave the baby to her husband, forgot to pull her shirt up

[Mark Gagnon]

and just titty out, walk through the whole thing. That's what I'm saying. They stopped being as protect. I remember I posted a carousel when it was a few days after Lincoln was born.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he was wilding for that.

[Alex Media]

I didn't even realize one of the

[Mark Gagnon]

pictures had my wife's titty out. And my wife don't even like being on the Internet. And I was like, oh, I think the titty.

[Alex Media]

And my wife was like, ah, it's fine. Wow.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, they don't care.

[Alex Media]

It's a very different, like, it stops becoming a, like a sexualized part of

[Mark Gagnon]

the body to y'. All.

[Alex Media]

That's a good point. But isn't that what jerking off the. Hey, stop bare knuckling? Come on, son. I bite off the flesh and I swallow it. No, there's a. There's a thing where it just becomes a tool.

[Miles Media]

It becomes a tool for sustaining life.

[Alex Media]

Exactly.

[Mark Gagnon]

Now, to you guys, you might still sexualize it, but there's. There's the thing. It's like women didn't even know that we like feet. All of us, every guy, until, like,

[Alex Media]

some made a big deal of it on the Internet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, you.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm not me. I don't know.

[Miles Media]

You're one of the most spokespeople.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, you are for paddling feet.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think you're known more for a footloving paddle.

[Alex Media]

Yo, but like, I should have never said nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo. Footlove is mad disrespect.

[Alex Media]

No, but like, you got girls in the Havaianas, but they're curling their toes

[Mark Gagnon]

now, so we can't see it.

[Alex Media]

You know what I mean? Stop burking your feet up if you're wearing a Havaianas, you know what I mean? It's a luau. Or it's a luau. I don't know. That's a Brazilian thing. Isn't that shit, I thought it was Hawaiian.

[Mark Gagnon]

But the Havaianas are Brazilian, aren't they?

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Anyway, my point is that, like, we up and we let the world know about our sexual proclivities when it just was like another part. Like, if you're into shins, nobody even knows you're right. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles Media]

The more you talk about it, the more it hides.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Miles Media]

It's like a cat. You gotta let it come to you.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was.

[Miles Media]

I think, I think that makes sense. If you chase the cat, it runs away.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's gonna run away.

[Miles Media]

You know what I mean? So you gotta say nothing about the feet. Keep it in the tuck and then

[Alex Media]

keep it in the tub.

[Miles Media]

This is what happens when you grow up in New York. This is a big issue, I think. Why? Because you. New York is not a sandal wearing place. New Yorkers are not known for wearing sandals.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo.

[Miles Media]

Mostly you don't wear sandals. And when you're walking on the street, like, people judge me for wearing sandals on the regular basis in the summertime.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you're disgusting.

[Miles Media]

But like, why is wearing sandals on the sidewalk disgusting?

[Alex Media]

It's like, it's like, see New York

[Andrew Schultz]

streets, Like, it's too close to the garbage.

[Alex Media]

No, no, you're making a good point.

[Mark Gagnon]

Because it's so.

[Alex Media]

For me, it's like seeing a foot

[Mark Gagnon]

is like a Muslim dude seeing hair.

[Alex Media]

Yeah. And that, like, he doesn't get to

[Mark Gagnon]

see it all the time.

[Alex Media]

Exactly. And then he does.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's like, oh, that's super attractive as hair ever.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes. Yeah, that's a great point. It's your forbidden fruit.

[Alex Media]

You should see.

[Mark Gagnon]

You ever seen an Eskimo look at a foot? Oh, my God, bro.

[Miles Media]

I'm gonna look this up.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, my God.

[Alex Media]

I think that's why they like narwhal. Because it's similar texture, it's chewy, you gotta D it in soy sauce or whatever.

[Miles Media]

So your kids seeing Coco Melon, bro?

[Alex Media]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

They wake up? No. I'm gonna look at foot fetish by geography. I bet you could find. You could find like a map of it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. If you come from a barefoot place, there's no way. Oh, what do we got?

[Miles Media]

My whole theory's gone out the window.

[Alex Media]

What do we got?

[Miles Media]

States with the most foot fetishists. Yep.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, Andrew.

[Miles Media]

Chicago.

[Alex Media]

But these are two. These are two, like, industrialized cities.

[Mark Gagnon]

So you're not going to really see feet that much.

[Miles Media]

Actually, maybe this goes to my theory. So you got York and Chicago. You're never going to see feet.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

Florida, Texas, Los Angeles, you're going to see, I think, a lot of.

[Mark Gagnon]

I think the best feet. I don't think in Texas you do. I think those are booted.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Those might be boot people. That's a good point.

[Mark Gagnon]

Florida is peculiar to me, but what I would say is that the majority of people in Florida have moved there from New York.

[Alex Media]

That's a good point.

[Mark Gagnon]

Right. So it's like you're taking your fetish to a place where it's readily available.

[Andrew Schultz]

Same as la.

[Mark Gagnon]

Same as la. Also, everybody in LA is in their car. It's not really like a pedestrian place, so you're not really seeing people walk around.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's true. That's true.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a stupid ass theory, but it's true.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, there might be something to it.

[Miles Media]

All right, you want to talk about this rose?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes, let's talk about the rose. Al, you're sensitive. You're.

[Alex Media]

You feel a little uncomfortable about it, I think. I think it was a little harsh. Okay.

[Miles Media]

Really?

[Alex Media]

It was a little hard.

[Mark Gagnon]

What was harsh for you?

[Andrew Schultz]

Cheryl Underwood, the husband.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, God. So Cheryl Underwood is a, you know, legend comedian, been around forever. And I guess her husband had committed suicide.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

And, like, there was a lot of jokes going in.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

But I saw her talk about an interview. I think it was after. I think it came out, like today, and she was like, that was her husband. She was in the military, and he was also in the military. She was getting deployed or something. This was like 30 years ago. Oh. And they were married. And this is like. Like the 90s, I think. Something like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

All right. I change it recent.

[Alex Media]

I'm like, God, you thought it just happened.

[Miles Media]

And a bunch of them called her. Like, Shane called before, according to him. I think he said it in the roast.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Shane said he did check.

[Miles Media]

Like, he reached out to her and was like, hey, is it cool if I said she's like, yeah, of course.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. But then what? She's going to be a pussy and be like, no, it bothers me. You know how.

[Alex Media]

You're right, it is.

[Mark Gagnon]

It is a tough position to put her in.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Kind.

[Miles Media]

I could see her just being like,

[Andrew Schultz]

ah, I'd rather not.

[Miles Media]

It's really delicate. Like, I'm still reeling from it. And then I think every comic would be like, all right, I.

[Andrew Schultz]

It.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I don't think anybody would. But there is also a part of you that's on the roast. You're like, all right, everything's free game.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't want to be the one on the roast that gives people like, oh, you can't say this, I guess.

[Miles Media]

But in that regard, she was totally fine with it, according to this interview.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but, yeah, 30 years. That's nothing.

[Miles Media]

I wouldn't say.

[Alex Media]

I was no middle ground.

[Miles Media]

This went too far.

[Alex Media]

I was like, if one of my

[Andrew Schultz]

college hoes died right now,

[Alex Media]

what else is hurting you?

[Mark Gagnon]

What else is hurting you?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, that was the main one, but I feel like this one was just. And I know that's the nature of a roast. It's just like, hey, say the most brutal thing you could think of, and maybe I'm just getting soft. I thought it was rough, but isn't

[Alex Media]

that part of it?

[Andrew Schultz]

But I love it.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

But if that comedy flies and everybody's okay with that, why can't that comedy just be the standard?

[Mark Gagnon]

Mark had a great point about this.

[Miles Media]

So, like, first off, I love Roast.

[Mark Gagnon]

I genuinely love them.

[Miles Media]

Like, I love all the Comedy Central roasts. I love the Netflix roasts. Like, I just enjoy, like, just rapid fire their clever jokes. They're biting their stakes. It's live. It's like, the whole thing is perfect.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hang out with black people more in New York.

[Miles Media]

It's just awesome. It's, like, the best. But I do think, like, for the general public, having an environment for, like, super dark, Roasty, like, borderline aggressive comedy is nice when it exists within a

[Mark Gagnon]

specific forum because you're primed for it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You basically telling everybody, hey, the worst jokes possible are going to be said, so don't be surprised when they're said. And prepare yourself for this.

[Alex Media]

Like, if you click play, know that's

[Mark Gagnon]

what you're gonna see.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. Like, if I'm at work in my office job at 8am and someone says one of these jokes to me, I would even be like, oh, that's a little much for work. You know what I mean? If I meet someone for the first time.

[Mark Gagnon]

Because you're not primed for this is gonna be the craziest shit you're primed for. This is corporate America, and we're all gonna, like, you know, put on a corporate face and a corporate accent and do our thing.

[Andrew Schultz]

And that's funny. Me, I like to ruffle feathers. I'm like, oh, it's much better to say it in the place where it's unexpected than.

[Miles Media]

I would enjoy that. But I also recognize that there's. I wouldn't say that joke in that environment. You know what I mean? And if I'm meeting, like, my wife's parents for the first time, I wouldn't say some of these jokes. If I'm hanging my buddies, I might say some of them more. You know what I mean? If I'm at a comedy club, I might say most of them. And then when you're at a roast, it is the exact environment to say all the worst possible things.

[Andrew Schultz]

Gotcha.

[Miles Media]

Gotcha. And that is the point of it. It's like, you don't need like. Like, you shouldn't expect violence in everyday society, but at the ufc, you need violence. Like it requires. It necessitates.

[Alex Media]

They're preparing you.

[Mark Gagnon]

They're like, yo, someone's gonna elbow someone in the face when they're passed out on the ground.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

And there's probably. There could be blood. Blood. And people might pass out. Like, they might get knocked out cold.

[Alex Media]

Now, that doesn't mean that some people

[Mark Gagnon]

don't watch UFC and be like, this is too brutal for me. Yeah, it might come for, you know, for roasts, the same thing, but at least it's like, there's a framework put in place and an expectation for you going into it. And I think sometimes when the clips hit the Internet, someone's scrolling and they have not subscribed to a roast.

[Alex Media]

Right.

[Mark Gagnon]

So then they're.

[Alex Media]

They're looking at cat videos or whatever, and then this crazy joke comes out,

[Mark Gagnon]

and they're like, yo, I didn't sign up for this.

[Alex Media]

I signed up for Mark Zuckerberg's, you know, Instagram.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

So then they're caught off guard.

[Mark Gagnon]

But I find it hard to believe that people that were like, I'm pressing play on this roast, and I know it's going to be absolutely savage. I find it hard to believe that those people would be, like, super offended.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think anything or I didn't hear anything that was, like, offensive. I just was like, oof. They really went there. They went there.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And I like that shit.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, there was some great jokes.

[Miles Media]

I also think there's a difference with, like, something. I think you can be sensitive to something and still think it's funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

I mean, like, I'll hear jokes even just, like, at a club or whatever, where I'm like, oof. Like, that's, like, something for me personally, where I'm like, oh, that's a little close. But I still think it's so funny that I'm like, I don't care. Because the funniness outweighs the sensitivity. And the more sensitive something is, the funnier something has to be, which is Why? I like jokes that push the line of sensitivity.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Because it necessitates that. It's that much funnier.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

I saw a bunch of clips and I watched some of it and I just thought the jokes were great. And it was like everybody was going in, you know, it was gloves off. I think the only time I'm like, oh, is when like anybody's kids get brought up and maybe I'm a dad or whatever it is. Or you just think about the kids as like, you know, they're just like young and kind of defenseless. And it's not the person's life, it's somebody else's life. Like, even with the Tom Brady rose, it's like, I ain't saying about his kids, bro. Like, I don't.

[Miles Media]

Because they didn't sign up to be exact environment.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Alex Media]

But neither did his ex wife. And we definitely made jokes about her,

[Mark Gagnon]

you know, public figure. Public figure. That's also the other rule. It's like, if you're. If your spouse is a public figure, then, you know, she's free game. You've, you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who was it who called Kevin's wife a lady boy?

[Mark Gagnon]

Not Dave's wife.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, Dave.

[Mark Gagnon]

Naim Lin. Naeem Lin is hilarious comedian one. Like one of Kev's boys. He's in the plastic cup, boys. But also like a hilarious stand up son

[Alex Media]

shout out. But yeah, he's like, what he say about Dave? He's like, oh.

[Mark Gagnon]

He went in, he said.

[Miles Media]

I don't know why he did.

[Alex Media]

He said, Dave wasn't even there. He said, kevin hates you.

[Mark Gagnon]

He goes, kevin hates you more than the transgender community hates you.

[Alex Media]

And then he goes, I don't know why you hate transgender so much when your wife is a Filipino lady boy.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo.

[Alex Media]

I was like, whoa. Even Shane went up. Like, that was interesting. I'm sure he'll be totally okay with that.

[Miles Media]

Went hard. But I thought. I thought all the comics did great. Tony killed.

[Alex Media]

Tony crushed, bro.

[Miles Media]

Shane killed.

[Alex Media]

Shane did great.

[Miles Media]

I mean, I thought Cheryl Underwood did great.

[Alex Media]

You know, Shane bringing Chelsea up as he goes. She. She was. She was at a dinner with Epstein. It wasn't even a big dinner. Just a few people there like Prince

[Mark Gagnon]

Andrew and Woody Allen.

[Miles Media]

You could look it up. There's articles.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, there's articles. But anyway, give it up for Chelsea. No joke. It's just a fact about her life.

[Miles Media]

Unreal.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

She's a Zionist. Not that it's good or bad.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Speaking of dead babies.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that was great. That was great.

[Miles Media]

But yeah, Jeff did great. And then the person that impressed me the most that I. I was so charmed by was Lizzo.

[Alex Media]

Oh, Lizzo was so good.

[Miles Media]

Lizzo was fantastic.

[Alex Media]

She was.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Oh, it's awesome.

[Mark Gagnon]

She just had fun.

[Alex Media]

Like, you could tell, like, she was

[Mark Gagnon]

enjoying it, not just trying to do well. And there's a version of, like, I just want to crush. And then there's a version of, like, this is silly and naughty and, like, I'm in it. Yeah. And that energy, I think, always wins.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Even if, like, you might bumble a line, it doesn't matter, because people are like, oh, they're having fun, and they're stoked to be in this moment. Yeah. And signing up to it. She knew she was gonna get cooked.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't even see her there.

[Mark Gagnon]

She came out.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. I don't know if she was announced. I think she was, like, a guest.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, she did that on purpose.

[Mark Gagnon]

But then some people, I think, went after her.

[Guest/Caller]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

So they still had jokes for her.

[Andrew Schultz]

Got it, got it, got it. Okay, what's the process for the roast? Like, are all their jokes written by other people?

[Mark Gagnon]

No, you get, like, a group of guys that will write jokes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

So, like, the celebs usually have, like, a team of guys, and they got, like, amazing fucking writers. They're like, Mike Lawrence. Lawrence is fantastic. Dan St. Germain, another guy. And, like. And then everybody kind of just has, like, a team of guys, and you work with them and you put together the set, and essentially, that's what it is.

[Alex Media]

And it's like, its own skill.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, roast jokes are. It's not like, that doesn't translate to stand up, but it is a very specific type of thing, and, yeah, these guys are fucking amazing at it also.

[Miles Media]

I wonder if Netflix contracts writers just in general.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. So, like, like, Mike Lawrence was probably, like, maybe the. I'm assuming he was, like, the head writer. So he's there to make sure everybody has jokes, and then he's also there to make sure that people's jokes aren't crossing over that much without telling other people.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right.

[Mark Gagnon]

So, like, I remember when we were doing Brady, he came in the room, and I was like, hey, just tell me what any other people have without telling me anybody else's jokes. Right.

[Miles Media]

Or I think you were even like, I'm gonna do this joke. And he was like, oh, yeah, no one's touching that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

So it's like. Cause that's the other thing. It's like, there's only so many Short black jokes you can make about Kevin. Yeah. So you got to make sure each person's short black joke is different than the other. Right. There's only so many jokes about his movie sucking, so you've got to make sure they're different enough where the audience doesn't hear the same joke over and over again for. And that's the other reason why there's a deus. Right. It's like, not only do you need people to tell jokes, you need people that are punching bags as well.

[Miles Media]

Ah, got it. Got it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Right? Because it's just if every person only talks about Kevin two hours in, you're like, all right, we heard it all.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles Media]

But that's what makes going last in the roast or later in the roast so stressful, because it's like, everybody heard it. You're sitting there, and then other jokes are getting picked off. You're kind of, like, crossing up stuff, like, crossing stuff out. Like, all right, that joke got done. Like, this one kind of got done. And then you got to, like, make a choice. Like, all right, is this one close enough?

[Andrew Schultz]

But I figured the head writer is. They're picking those off before the thing. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

But, like, the topic has been broached, so by, like, an hour and a half in. It's like, all right, we get it at Kevin's short.

[Andrew Schultz]

Got it.

[Mark Gagnon]

And whatever. And, like. Like, I remember there was a. There was a time in the Brady where, like, I noticed Dana in the audience, and, like, I. I had a riff about him that I didn't have in, like, the set, but I was like, oh, nobody's gonna hit him. Or maybe they won't hit him because he's, like, an unannounced guest just in the crowd, but people are aware of him, and those things can. You know what I mean? It's like fresh meat, essentially. So being able to pull from those different things, I think is. Is valuable. Yeah. But there was some bangers, dude. There was some really. Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Pete Davis in a great.

[Alex Media]

Yo, Pete did really good, man. He was good. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

If you do really good.

[Miles Media]

And he.

[Mark Gagnon]

And also put it. Think about Pete.

[Alex Media]

Like, he knows if he's sitting there, he's gonna relive his dad's death 10 times.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

You know what I mean?

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, you putting yourself in a line of fire. And so that was. That was cool to see.

[Miles Media]

Also, I saw a little thing from tmz. This is like. It's kind of of like a nothing story. But, like, Connie was apparently there.

[Mark Gagnon]

No.

[Miles Media]

So I saw A video of someone like, like, recording Kanye from the corner, and he doesn't really react, but, like, he's there for all the jokes, which is kind of wild.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get out of here.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, that was your point where.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Apparently he was in the crowd. And that was to your point with, like, the Pete joke, where Pete said to Tony, like, I've had a better gay Nazi. Like, I've been in a beef with a better gay Nazi. I'm not afraid of you. I think that was because he knew Kanye was there.

[Mark Gagnon]

He knew Kanye was there. Oh, that's funny.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, man. Tony had a bit where he said, chelsea Handler is aging like a vegetable in Lizzo's fridge, son.

[Miles Media]

But one of my favorites from Tony was Regina Hall's here. She starred in a movie One battle after another. Or as Lizzo calls it, stairs.

[Andrew Schultz]

A lot of good ones.

[Guest/Caller]

One of the cool things that was happening at the Netflix is just joke Fest was a lot of the comedians were trying their jokes out.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

During that week. So I didn't get to go to the roast and wasn't watching it live because I was on a plane, but I'd heard a lot of them and then rewatched it, and I was like, oh, some of these made it. Some of them got changed along the way.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Guest/Caller]

It was a really cool process if you got to go to that week before, too.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah. Like, Tony was on me and Jelly show, and Tony tried some of the roast jokes out and, like, prep them.

[Miles Media]

And then Big J was great.

[Alex Media]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Shout out, Big Jeff.

[Miles Media]

And then it was cool to see Cat pull up.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

There's a lot of speculation on whether,

[Mark Gagnon]

like, the beef is actually squashed.

[Andrew Schultz]

What'd you think?

[Mark Gagnon]

I thought. I think if it is, it's really cool. And I think, like, Kev extending the olive branch is really cool. Kev also did a really funny thing because, like, everybody made fun of him for being a bad actor. Like, they're like, your movies suck, and you suck at acting. And then he squashes these with Cat, and then when he does his thing at the end, it's like. Like, all of y' all said I was this horrible actor. Well, you believe me when I said that I squashed my beef with. With Cat? That was some of the best acting you've ever seen.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's good.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yep. Fun setup, but, like. Yeah. Cool for Cat to just show up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

All right, guys, take a break for a second.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know that moment when you catch your reflection, you notice your hairline isn't where it used to be, receding slowly. You lie to yourself. You say, nah, that's where it always was.

[Alex Media]

But you know it wasn't.

[Mark Gagnon]

[Alex Media]

Also, I must say that most guys

[Mark Gagnon]

have no idea that the shampoo and body wash they've been using for years contain ingredients that can actually disrupt your hormones. I didn't either until I looked it up. And by me, I mean my wife, okay?

[Alex Media]

She looks up everything.

[Mark Gagnon]

Now we have two kids. We can't let all this crazy nonsense go in their bodies. And I am the beneficiary of that. Okay? There's stuff that's been sitting in your shower for years that you've been rubbing into your scalp every single morning that

[Alex Media]

your body has to fight off every single day. It's wild.

[Mark Gagnon]

We spend all this time thinking about

[Alex Media]

what we we, how we train, what

[Mark Gagnon]

supplements we take, and then we lather our entire head with chemicals we can't pronounce. Does this make any sense? No. And that's why I switched to Base Body Works. I've been using their shower duo, the shampoo and conditioner for a few months now. And the difference was immediate. The shampoo has peppermint and argon oil in it. Your scalp actually tingles. It's lovely.

[Alex Media]

Feels awake, feels clean. Not stripped.

[Mark Gagnon]

Not that fake, fake squeaky clean feeling that's actually just damaged my hair. Feels thicker, healthier, Looks fuller. No sulfates, no parabens, no disrupting chemicals. Plant based formulas that actually perform every ingredient in their earns its spot. Peppermint, argan oil, charcoal, squalane. I don't even know what that is.

[Alex Media]

But the real stuff, stuff that does something.

[Mark Gagnon]

If you've been using the same products forever without thinking twice about what's in them, them, it's worth a look. Base Body Works is clean plant based men's grooming that actually performs. Use the code flager for 20% [e-mail]

[Alex Media]

and you get a free toiletry bag

[Mark Gagnon]

when you buy a set. Because confidence shouldn't come at the cost of your health. Now let's get back to the show

[Commercial/Ad Speaker]

this summer. Serve up the cookout classics. Oscar Mayer hot dogs and Heinz mustard. Grill up a dog, add classic yellow mustard or loaded Chicago style. We all know it's not a cookout without Oscar Meyer and Heinz.

[Andrew Schultz]

How'd the Rock do?

[Miles Media]

It was fun.

[Mark Gagnon]

I didn't watch his set.

[Miles Media]

It was fun. Like he just is the Rock. Like, it wasn't so much like he had like a bunch of like super tight jokes. He's just the, he just walks in and everyone's like, oh, the Rock.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's also good at performing in front of an arena of people.

[Miles Media]

Exactly. Like he was holding attention in the arena.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

And then was just going in about Kevin as well. His wife basically being like, call me. It was very funny.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

But I like that. I just love roasts.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, they're great. They're great. And it is a great opportunity. Like is a great opportunity to just see somebody celebrated and humbled. Yeah. And I think it's easier for like humans to celebrate somebody while humbling them at the same time. You know, like you, if somebody gets a lot of success, like the maybe human instinct is just to start tearing them down. So in the process of celebrating you, we are going to tear you down. It's probably like why dudes give birthday punches to their friends.

[Alex Media]

It's like, I can't just be Nice

[Mark Gagnon]

to you all day. Let me beat the out of you, and then I can be nice to you. Yeah. So it's like we're already doing this at, like, 8 years old or whenever we start birthday punches.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

But it seemed like there was some real animosity on that station. That was one thing. They weren't doing that creative acting, I don't think.

[Alex Media]

I think Tony likes Chelsea Hammer that much. And Chelsea was, like, shaking when she was like, there's a difference between Judaism and Zionism. Like, to Shane.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. Is there a little party that wishes you did it?

[Alex Media]

I had some fomo.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'll be honest with you. I did have a little bit of

[Miles Media]

fomo because they asked you.

[Mark Gagnon]

I just.

[Alex Media]

This is what.

[Mark Gagnon]

The agents basically reach out and they're just like, you know, hey, we heard it's gonna happen. Like, are you down? And I talked to, like, Netflix about some of whatever, and. And I just had to make a decision between, like, developing a new hour of material to go tour or doing the. Doing the roast, because I know I wouldn't be able to do either. I'd be like, I'm just gonna lock myself in the clubs and be working on my 10 minute thing.

[Miles Media]

Like, it becomes the whole month.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Or yeah, two months maybe, if you really want to do it in, like, Excel. Yeah. You know, but in retrospect, there's also versions like, all right, maybe I should just done it and just had some fun jokes and just had.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you should have did it.

[Mark Gagnon]

I know.

[Alex Media]

I had. I had a little fun, but I'm

[Mark Gagnon]

also glad that I. I focus on standup and I'm able to get back on the road. And like, that's. But, yeah, that's it. When you see it, you're like, oh, man, that looks so much fun. Idiot. I should have just done it. Stupid.

[Miles Media]

Well, it's nice to do it. It's the three months preparing where you're in fight camp.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

You know what I mean? Like, putting everything else off. Not traveling with your kids.

[Alex Media]

Yes.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to travel with my kids.

[Alex Media]

You know what I mean?

[Miles Media]

You got the benefit of that, which is good.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

But no, it was.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know, it was just cool

[Miles Media]

to see they need Tiger to do. Do it. Tiger Wood's got to be the next one.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, there was.

[Andrew Schultz]

He don't seem like he got a sense of humor.

[Miles Media]

Perfect.

[Mark Gagnon]

But that's even better.

[Miles Media]

I like it when it's celebs. I think. I think a little more like, I like.

[Alex Media]

I.

[Miles Media]

That's What I liked about the Comedy Central ones is, like, I enjoy seeing people kind of out of their element.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

Like, when Bieber did it, like, Charlie.

[Mark Gagnon]

Vulnerability of it. Yeah. You know, like a comedian is. Is not to say that this wasn't awesome, but they're a little bit better at maybe, like, taking jokes about themselves. They've been like, Kevin might be one of the best ever at taking jokes.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, he'll tell you stories about going through it. Yeah. At the Cellar.

[Miles Media]

I mean, stories of him and Patrice.

[Alex Media]

And Patrice used to throw a phone

[Mark Gagnon]

book at him while he was on stage.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's like, read this.

[Alex Media]

This is better than you have. Whatever. Like, so, like, Kev is probably historically,

[Mark Gagnon]

maybe one of the best ever. Rich Voss is another one who's, like, amazing at roasting, but he's a great person to get into a roast with.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, he don't get sensitive. He gets, like, jazzed up by.

[Miles Media]

I mean, all those. All the, like, OG Seller guys.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Bobby, Kelly, Jim, like, literally, my goats, like, the people I would just look and watch at the back table and be like, this is Keith. Keith Robinson, Ledge. So, yeah. So that was. But, yeah, when you see a celebrity that's not used to getting teased, there's something about it.

[Miles Media]

It kind of adds some stakes.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, you're like, oh, shit. They're angry. Like, when Tom Brady walked up to Jeff Ross and goes, don't talk about my fucking kids. Yeah. At the roast, that was real. Oh, really?

[Andrew Schultz]

It wasn't.

[Alex Media]

Don't talk about my kids.

[Mark Gagnon]

He actually said, don't talk about Bob Kraft.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And that was real.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alex Media]

Like, it's just kind of crazy because there's.

[Miles Media]

There's something else at play. Like. Like, Brady doesn't need to do it. You know what I mean?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Apparently, I think Jeff was talking to Rogan about it, and he was like, brady wanted to do it because that's. He loves Roast. Apparently Brady, like, when he's, like, in the locker room, like, a couple hours before a game, like, kind of, like, decompressing or, like, trying to escape a little bit. He'll, like. Or maybe after game, whatever, but, like, he'll just watch Roast. Like, old Comedy Central Roast.

[Guest/Caller]

That's crazy.

[Miles Media]

And he was like, I like these kinds of jokes, and he wanted to do that, like, four comedies. Like, I want to. I want to relive this era of.

[Mark Gagnon]

Of stand up. They also paid him 20 million.

[Miles Media]

That helps, you know, but for Tom Brady, I mean, that's what is that?

[Mark Gagnon]

Now?

[Alex Media]

He said a funny thing.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's like, people are like, I can't believe that you let people talk about your ex wife like that. Or something like that. And he's like, you can't believe I did this. It's like, my ex wife cheated on me with a Jiu Jitsu instructor. He goes, I don't know a man on this planet that wouldn't take $20 million for people to make fun of her for that.

[Alex Media]

Just like.

[Andrew Schultz]

But the ex wife is fair game. But your former boss is off limits. He.

[Miles Media]

Boss never cheated on him.

[Alex Media]

Well, he did.

[Mark Gagnon]

He did let him get traded to Tampa.

[Alex Media]

But, you know, he. I think he. Damn, you right about that. He walk up to, yo, talk about that Brazilian. Not this guy over here. Bob Kraft. Bob Kraft took me to Israel, bro.

[Miles Media]

I mean, it's kind of like how you guys are with the Knicks, you know, like, people on them. You guys get all.

[Mark Gagnon]

Don't, don't, don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

You ever been up in the middle of a podcast before?

[Alex Media]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm just saying, like, have you ever?

[Mark Gagnon]

There's a. There's a weird feeling in New York right now.

[Andrew Schultz]

What?

[Miles Media]

That's like a jinx is coming.

[Guest/Caller]

Why, bro?

[Mark Gagnon]

Why you even got to say.

[Miles Media]

I'm asking. I'm asking if that's. If that's what you're going to say.

[Alex Media]

New York is the most arrogant.

[Andrew Schultz]

Chill out.

[Mark Gagnon]

Chill out. On the planet. That's part of our charm.

[Alex Media]

But we ain't used to things going this well within this, and it's creating an interesting feeling.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, even at the Cellar last night, there was a couple comments came up

[Alex Media]

to me, and they're like, hey, man, how about those?

[Mark Gagnon]

And I was like, don't even talk about. He's like, I was talking.

[Alex Media]

Mike Canning.

[Mark Gagnon]

He goes, hey, man, how about those? I was like, let's not even talk about it. He's like, you're right.

[Alex Media]

I don't want to talk about it. Voldemort. Don't even mention it. Things are going all right. Low key.

[Mark Gagnon]

I haven't been watching.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm hesitant.

[Miles Media]

Oh, that might be it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm hesitant to buy a ticket. I'm like, I ain't going to a single game this season.

[Alex Media]

Maybe that's why. Just say they're exp. Expanded the studio. That's why I'm not buying a. I don't want to jinx Dead ass. I ain't going to a single game. But like, yo, we've never been better, son.

[Mark Gagnon]

I was following the game.

[Miles Media]

New Yorkers are. So you tell them you believe in God.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're like, oh, you're what?

[Miles Media]

A religious.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

And then you tell them you, like, wore Nick's jersey on the wrong day. And they're like, dude, you. You can't do that. It's part of a special spell. It makes no sense.

[Andrew Schultz]

You believe in demons?

[Alex Media]

Shut the up, bro.

[Miles Media]

There's a whole book dedicated to it.

[Alex Media]

I believe been demons too, and.

[Mark Gagnon]

And whatever.

[Alex Media]

Demons have been putting pressure on my Knicks for the last 40 years. Please alleviate some of that this year. Demons is son. The energy. I've never felt this.

[Mark Gagnon]

People don't even want to talk about in a group chat.

[Alex Media]

Like, I have my group chats for

[Mark Gagnon]

basketball games go crazy. And there's just like, third quarter up by 40. Someone be like, looking good.

[Alex Media]

Someone put a broom emoji. I think Jamil put the broom emoji in the group chat. Nobody even responds.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

The second the game was over, like, yeah, we got that. Sweet.

[Mark Gagnon]

So I posted one video that a guy made. It was like a. Like a song about it, about us sweeping Philly. And even after that, I was like, I ruined it. Didn't like. I. I was.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, you posted it before the game?

[Alex Media]

After.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was.

[Mark Gagnon]

Even after.

[Alex Media]

I'm like, we still got another se.

[Miles Media]

When is the next game?

[Mark Gagnon]

This. The. What's it called? Series is 22. So we got to wait for them to settle that. So we got a little time to up.

[Miles Media]

We got.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, they got to start partying.

[Alex Media]

And, yo, everybody, just don't go to Miami and get on the yacht. Don't make the mistake.

[Miles Media]

You saw the interview with Jaylen. They were like, how do you feel? The fact that, like, they built this team around you to, like, win a championship and it's working. D. And his response was cool. He was like. Like, look, right now I'm focused on this. Like, I'll answer that question years from now when it's all said and done or something like that. Like, he seemed like he was very

[Mark Gagnon]

locked in New York.

[Miles Media]

We are not worried about either Cleveland or doing Detroit hoes. Dra. New York balls. You try your hardest. Do what? We've been to Detroit and Cleveland. Okay. Okay. We're coming back home to the wives. That away game is just that. There's no concern over here for our New York Knicks about getting caught up some shit in Cleveland, Detroit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. That is pretty good.

[Alex Media]

Or okc. Who do you think's going to the finals on the West?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't even know who's in okc. Or maybe San Antonio.

[Andrew Schultz]

Probably okc. Most likely.

[Alex Media]

Yeah. So we have a clear path in terms of hoes to the.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't even want to say the

[Alex Media]

words, but if it's LA versus New York, they could throw some serious distraction at the boys.

[Andrew Schultz]

You gotta watch out for OG.

[Mark Gagnon]

Say yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, gee.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, yeah. With the hammy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Wait, what?

[Andrew Schultz]

And the hose.

[Miles Media]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

He brings the hoes out.

[Alex Media]

Yeah. We can't have all that.

[Andrew Schultz]

You gotta chill out. Chill out.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. Are we even allowed to look at the. Like a. At the odds right now? Or is this.

[Andrew Schultz]

Look at the West.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, look at the West. What is the. What is the Cows.

[Mark Gagnon]

You have the west at.

[Alex Media]

Who's coming out of the West?

[Guest/Caller]

San Antonio or Oklahoma? 74 on San Antonio or on Oklahoma.

[Mark Gagnon]

Sorry.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Most likely he's going to be okc, but we got. I mean,

[Guest/Caller]

nothing.

[Miles Media]

We'll see.

[Mark Gagnon]

We can see what happens.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep. Yep.

[Miles Media]

And yep.

[Andrew Schultz]

Best team will win.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Made the best team win.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yep.

[Miles Media]

Now y' all are making me superstitious. Yeah.

[Alex Media]

I don't think you know what this means, bro.

[Mark Gagnon]

I really don't.

[Miles Media]

We.

[Mark Gagnon]

We are gonna.

[Alex Media]

If the Knicks win, we will make

[Mark Gagnon]

Mom Donnie a citizen.

[Alex Media]

I think he's a citizen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, Double citizen.

[Mark Gagnon]

A double citizen.

[Alex Media]

Double citizen. What does that mean?

[Mark Gagnon]

He's gonna get what he gets to be whatever he wants in the United States. And he could use his African accent.

[Alex Media]

He. If he wins, he could use his

[Mark Gagnon]

African accent for the rest the Week.

[Alex Media]

A week. Give him a week. Get to do. We'll. Hey, New York will be a communist

[Mark Gagnon]

city if he wins.

[Miles Media]

I mean, the Soviets are good at sports.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Miles Media]

I'm just saying, the Soviets, they had a great run.

[Andrew Schultz]

Commie got the red on too.

[Miles Media]

There's something about a little Soviet, you know what I mean? Hammer and sickle vibes. That makes a. Makes a good sports team. That's all I'm saying. Maybe we could use a little more of that. Think about all the women in Berkeley. The men are gonna be smashing a little more testosterone. Right.

[Alex Media]

You would think that the Middle east would be better at sports if that

[Mark Gagnon]

was the case, right?

[Alex Media]

I don't even know if they got athletes. Is there a sport that they're good at over there?

[Miles Media]

Well, when it's. When they go somewhere else, then they get really good.

[Alex Media]

For example, they go to France.

[Miles Media]

You know what I mean?

[Alex Media]

But who from the Middle east went

[Mark Gagnon]

to France from like Northern Africa?

[Miles Media]

Northern Africa, Yeah, of course, Zinedine Zidane,

[Mark Gagnon]

Kareem Benzo, but that's Africa. I'm talking about the Middle East East.

[Miles Media]

I mean, Mo Salah goes to England.

[Alex Media]

Mosala is from Egypt.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, that's the Middle East.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's Africa.

[Miles Media]

You don't consider Egypt the Middle East?

[Alex Media]

No, I mean, if I'm being honest with you, I do, but not for this. Yeah, it is, but it's Africa.

[Mark Gagnon]

Those are Africans.

[Alex Media]

I'm saying Middle east.

[Mark Gagnon]

Who's nice at sports and what sport are they good at? I mean, that's fine falconry or whatever.

[Miles Media]

Falconry? Falconry, yeah. I'm looking right now. There's not a.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not a ton. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

So I don't know if the burka elicits like a. A testosterone induced drive that makes you good at a sport. I think the sport has to be baked into the culture. Yeah, probably true.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Let me find out what the best athletes are in the middle the of least or even sports.

[Mark Gagnon]

They're probably good at.

[Miles Media]

Like darts or something.

[Mark Gagnon]

Nah, darts is a drinking man's game.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, you got to drink to do that one.

[Miles Media]

That's a good point.

[Alex Media]

Why would you think they'd be good at that?

[Miles Media]

Yeah, why.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why was that?

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't know.

[Miles Media]

I just figured it'd be like kind of an obscure sport where you're like,

[Mark Gagnon]

hitting a small target from a long distance away. You think that they'd be good at

[Alex Media]

that for some reason, some of them had a good run in the early

[Mark Gagnon]

2000s, you know, they had a good

[Alex Media]

run a Little bit. Which country in specifically would be so good at that?

[Miles Media]

I mean, you know.

[Alex Media]

Mark, do you have any.

[Miles Media]

Some of the Saudi boys are pretty good.

[Alex Media]

You think? Back in the day, Those were big targets, though.

[Miles Media]

Like, I mean, sort of.

[Alex Media]

You can't even miss it.

[Miles Media]

No, you can miss it.

[Mark Gagnon]

Honestly, dude, you can miss it.

[Alex Media]

I don't think you can.

[Miles Media]

Which would be so embarrassing, having to loop around, bro.

[Alex Media]

Going straight down the middle and slicing between him like that dude in the wingsuit. Like, you just go right between. Then everybody's confused, like, oh, somebody saved it. Then you see it slowly.

[Andrew Schultz]

That would be nuts. Like you doing tricks on it.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. I don't know. It doesn't seem like there's a. That soccer is what they say, but

[Mark Gagnon]

I can't think of the best.

[Miles Media]

Not even Emirati or Saudi soccer player or Omani.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, I don't think they got it, man. Yeah, I don't think they got it. Anyway, shout out the Knicks, man, and we got your back. We're here and the whole city is coming together. So whatever you guys need, we got you.

[Alex Media]

But we also are going to call

[Mark Gagnon]

3, 1, 1 if we see you out the clubs or see we. You know, you're getting after hoes and I think that that's like our responsibility as a city to do.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Given that our tax dollars are going

[Mark Gagnon]

to pay for these arenas to be built. Etc.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

You know, we've been supporting you guys

[Andrew Schultz]

all year, but no snitch rule doesn't apply now.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. I don't even think it's snitching, bro.

[Miles Media]

It's not.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, snitching, it's a civic duty.

[Alex Media]

I think it's a civic duty.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but if you see something nut off and like that, you snitch. Snitching on him. Yeah, Come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, like, you could get your nut off next month, bro. Yeah. Imagine the nuts you're gonna get off with a championship.

[Miles Media]

Yep.

[Alex Media]

Imagine the caliber.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay.

[Alex Media]

Thinking about the type of nuts,

[Miles Media]

think about how much nut, hypothetically, if someone wins the championship, someone.

[Andrew Schultz]

They get a pussy, they're gonna be drowning.

[Miles Media]

Think about how big those nuts will be. Everywhere they want, anywhere on this podcast.

[Mark Gagnon]

I. I think, man. I mean, it's easy for me to say as a married man. Yeah. You know, but like, I think Martha Stewart gotta open up for the boys.

[Miles Media]

Why Martha Stewart?

[Andrew Schultz]

That was.

[Miles Media]

Did you mean to say Martha Stewart?

[Guest/Caller]

N.

[Alex Media]

Man, that's interesting, baby. Something I knew he thinking of someone and it wasn't with you. Yeah, man, who was I thinking? Of, man. No, you said, think Margaret Thatcher need

[Mark Gagnon]

to open up to her boys, man.

[Alex Media]

I think Margaret Thatcher needs to give it up for the boys.

[Mark Gagnon]

Did I get that one wrong again, too?

[Miles Media]

I think. I hope you got it wrong. I don't think it was Margaret Thatcher. Someone. Someone's gotta open it up. No, no one that we know.

[Mark Gagnon]

Honestly.

[Andrew Schultz]

Mark's grandmother. Come on, bro.

[Alex Media]

I mean, for a Knicks championship, that's a two for one, too.

[Andrew Schultz]

She won us the war. This is the next one.

[Alex Media]

This is the next war. And this is almost like a more

[Mark Gagnon]

unlikely scenario, but if they threw in a Spitfire. If you.

[Alex Media]

If you get. If you get. If you had her just spinning like

[Mark Gagnon]

a little chicken on a rotisserie.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, come on, man.

[Alex Media]

With all due respect, British intelligence, let's

[Mark Gagnon]

not talk about foreign spies. Oh, let's not talk about foreign spies infiltrating our.

[Miles Media]

Can we do feelings? No. Facts.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Alex Media]

All right, guys, take a break for a second.

[Mark Gagnon]

Here's something that anyone who's ever hired anyone will tell you. The difference between a good hire and a nightmare hire usually isn't the resume. It's whether the person actually wants the job. You can have two candidates with identical experience, same school, same title, same years of experience. And one of them is going to be a home run, and the other one is going to be a disaster. And the only thing separating them is that one of them is genuinely excited about the role. They've done their homework. They ask real questions. They seem like they actually fit. The other one is just looking for a job, not your job job. Big difference. Excitement matters. It tells you everything. So if you're hiring and you want a candidate who's passionate about your role, but you can't get that insight from a resume unless you post your job on ZipRecruiter. And now you can try for [e-mail] flagrant. Here's why it works. ZipRecruiter has a new feature that actually shows you the most interested qualified candidates first. So you're not sifting through hundreds of resumes trying to figure out who actually wants to be be there. The candidates can tell you in their own words why they want your job. And ZipRecruiters matching tech finds qualified people fast. No wonder it's the number one rated hiring site on G2.

[Alex Media]

So find candidates who really want your job on ZipRecruiter.

[Mark Gagnon]

Four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the first day. Try for free at ZipRecruiter.com Flagrant. That's ZipRecruiter.com FlagrAnt meet your match on ZipRecruiter Recruiter.

[Alex Media]

All right, guys, listen up. We are actually doing something meaningful for once. All right?

[Mark Gagnon]

It's called the Life Paddle Classic and huge shout out to Neurogum because they are supporting it.

[Alex Media]

We are getting everybody together for paddle Good vibes, a little competition and most

[Mark Gagnon]

importantly, raising money for families going through IVF.

[Alex Media]

And this is the important part.

[Mark Gagnon]

100% of the proceeds are going directly to BabyQuest. That's the IVF charity that I've been working with. They're absolutely phenomenal organization. They're helping families who are struggling with with the insane costs of ivf. And we're going to help them, okay? We're trying to help take care some of that burden off of people. Now if you can't pull up to

[Alex Media]

the event, you can still support it by grabbing the Andrew Schultz and Neuro dad bundle.

[Mark Gagnon]

Okay?

[Alex Media]

You get the energy and focus gum

[Mark Gagnon]

and the sleep and recharge gum so you got the energy for the day and then you got some sleep when you're ready to get that rest.

[Alex Media]

And every dollar that you guys support,

[Mark Gagnon]

support is going to go to the cause. And I mean that sincerely. This is something obviously very near and dear to my heart to many different people who've went through this process. So any support that you guys can give is absolutely amazing.

[Alex Media]

So whether you play paddle, you just

[Mark Gagnon]

want to help people that are trying to become parents. This is a really good one to get behind the Life Paddle Classic.

[Alex Media]

June 4 Paddle House in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Come hang man, come compete, repeat, support the cause.

[Mark Gagnon]

Let's just do something great together. I really, really appreciate you if, yeah, if you're just, you know, indulging in this in any way. So you can go to the link below, you get the Andrew Schultz and Neurodad bundle and help us raise money for families going through IVF. Remember, every single dollar goes directly to BabyQuest. There are limited quantities available. So do not wait. Go to neurogum.com pages Schultz and be part of something that actually, actually changes lives. Hopefully creates many, many, many lives. And we'll be continuing to do more with Baby Quest and a huge shout out to Paddle House for hosting it there. It's an absolutely amazing place to go play paddle. You guys should do that outside of this, this charity event, but definitely come hang out the chair event. Have some drinks, have some food, chew some Neuro gum and just hang. So June 4th, that's what we're going to be. We'll see. See you there. Real value shows up in reliability. You don't have to second guess. Like a set of Firestone all season tires. They're designed to deliver confidence inspiring wet weather traction and a quieter ride no matter the road. Season after season. Firestone all season tires for durability you can count on, just like people count on you. Firestone always dependable since 1900.

[Miles Media]

Okay, let's just go feelings on facts and just rip through these as fast as possible. Okay? There's a Chinese spy. That's the mayor in a town in California.

[Mark Gagnon]

Did you hear about this Arcadia?

[Andrew Schultz]

I've been trying to tell y'.

[Miles Media]

All.

[Alex Media]

Yo, can we give out a little credit?

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, man.

[Alex Media]

Give out a little credit.

[Mark Gagnon]

On this podcast right now, today, everybody listening, everybody watching. Alex Media has said that there is a Chinese spy network that has been operating in the United States for the last decade. That he's been on his podcast. He's been called racist for this. He's been called hateful for this.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know if all that, but

[Miles Media]

they said you were a bigot.

[Alex Media]

He's been called a bigot.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

They got tunnels all throughout Chinatown. It's not just the Jews, bro.

[Guest/Caller]

Where did Al start his company?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, I'm switching sides. I told sh.

[Alex Media]

Like now they got that out of here. Al was probably the one who snitched.

[Guest/Caller]

No, I think Al's setting up wtf. Around the world

[Miles Media]

in the Chinese spy hub. You do have them in California.

[Andrew Schultz]

I do.

[Miles Media]

And you have them in New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dude, come on, man. Come on, man. But I'm switching sides. I don't care. I'm that gymnast taking a bat.

[Miles Media]

The skier?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Oh, skier.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whatever.

[Alex Media]

Whatever. I saw Eileen goo last week.

[Andrew Schultz]

Really?

[Alex Media]

She's definitely listening to the pod. Let me tell you that.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, shout out to you.

[Alex Media]

Get the bag, baby. She definitely listens to the pod.

[Miles Media]

W. You felt.

[Alex Media]

You felt this. Or. Or. Or she knew that her home girl

[Mark Gagnon]

was about to get outed as a spy in la. Oh, she was pissed as the mayor, so she was worried about the. The walls closing in a little bit.

[Miles Media]

The Great Wall.

[Alex Media]

The great Walls closing in, son.

[Mark Gagnon]

So what happens to this mayor?

[Alex Media]

She gets killed, right?

[Miles Media]

No, that's. I don't think.

[Mark Gagnon]

Isn't that treason?

[Alex Media]

Yeah, treason.

[Miles Media]

Do the death.

[Alex Media]

The punishment for treason is death.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, but what do you have to do to be treasonous?

[Mark Gagnon]

You have to be a Chinese spy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[Miles Media]

That's not treason. That's if you're spy. If you get caught being a spy in a different country, is that treason? No.

[Mark Gagnon]

If you're an American citizen, which I assume she is because she's mayor of Arcadia, and then she's handing off secrets to the Chinese, you obviously have to kill her in the most Chinese way possible.

[Alex Media]

I think we got to run her

[Mark Gagnon]

over with a tank in the middle

[Andrew Schultz]

of a square first. Bind her feet up, though.

[Alex Media]

Bind her feet up so she can't move. Let me get a peep at them. And then we run her over with a tank and a square.

[Mark Gagnon]

Damn.

[Alex Media]

Guys, this is not like I'm just

[Mark Gagnon]

trying to be a constitutionalist.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm America first.

[Guest/Caller]

The felony charges come with potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

[Mark Gagnon]

10 years for being a snitch?

[Andrew Schultz]

Not enough. They live mad long, bro.

[Alex Media]

That's exactly. It's not even a dent. 10 year. That's another thing. Your sentence should be dependent on how

[Mark Gagnon]

long you live in America.

[Guest/Caller]

Proportional taxing.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Alex Media]

So, like, Asians got to spend way longer.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Black people. Not that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, reduce it a little bit.

[Miles Media]

That's progressive policy, right? Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, because it's about equity, not equality.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, I like that. You know I like that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Mom, Donnie's American.

[Alex Media]

Clock it. Clock it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop it.

[Alex Media]

It's about equity, not equality.

[Mark Gagnon]

So if Asians average between 200 and

[Alex Media]

300 years of life, then a life sentence to them should be at least,

[Mark Gagnon]

like, five times the average. So this person right here, you're saying you can't just kill someone for treason?

[Alex Media]

I thought that is the punishment.

[Miles Media]

I don't know if that's.

[Guest/Caller]

I don't think she's going up on treason charges.

[Miles Media]

I don't know if she's a citizen. I can't even find a definitive.

[Mark Gagnon]

How the is she mayor if she's not a citizen?

[Miles Media]

Do you have to be a citizen?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[Mark Gagnon]

What country do we live in?

[Alex Media]

You don't even have to be from here to be in public office.

[Andrew Schultz]

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[Mark Gagnon]

He's a citizen.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, he's not.

[Mark Gagnon]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a citizen. Of course he's a citizen.

[Andrew Schultz]

He don't sound like one.

[Mark Gagnon]

Well,

[Alex Media]

What makes him with a citizen, Al? My mom.

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, yeah, she's a citizen. My mom got an accent.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but she got it after the fact.

[Mark Gagnon]

What do you mean?

[Alex Media]

My mom got her Scottish accent after the. No, no, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like mad late.

[Alex Media]

She got a C. Yeah, but so did Arnold.

[Mark Gagnon]

He got a citizenship late.

[Andrew Schultz]

Check. Check the papers.

[Guest/Caller]

He got it in 1983.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah. 1983. He's a citizen, Al. And look at Eileen Wang or whatever her name is.

[Miles Media]

Why are they all named Eileen?

[Mark Gagnon]

Eileen and Esther. So when Chinese people move here, they take a biblical first name. You go, Peter is a good one. Mark Lucas.

[Alex Media]

You'll find a lot of, like, biblical

[Mark Gagnon]

first name and then Chinese as fuck. Last name. Yeah, Esther.

[Alex Media]

Huge.

[Mark Gagnon]

There's so many Chinese people named Esther or Asians named Esther. I think it's a smart move. It's like you're moving to a host country. You want to make sure that your kids are, like, not teased or whatever for your Chinese name.

[Alex Media]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

I don't think Eileen's a biblical name.

[Alex Media]

Eileen back so you could suck his dick. This thing is the best, bro. Come on, bro. Yo, Mar. Bring your grandma. Bring your grandma. While I'm leaning back. Bring your grandma. With all due respect, Let me just

[Miles Media]

do the rest of the story. This is stupid.

[Alex Media]

This is dumb, dude. Yo, the long play on. Damn. Woo.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was fire.

[Mark Gagnon]

All right.

[Andrew Schultz]

He knew that was for you too, because I ain't gonna know no biblical name.

[Mark Gagnon]

Still got it.

[Alex Media]

Still got it, baby. Still got it, Young Schultze. Still got it. Can we do some fillings? No facts. You gotta take a drug stack. Should we do so hold on. So what's gonna happen to this little

[Mark Gagnon]

Chinese finger trap in Los Angeles?

[Alex Media]

Does she get locked up? Like, we gotta have some sort of

[Mark Gagnon]

punitive measure taking place here.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, she'll make it 10 years. It's not treason. And that's all I got.

[Andrew Schultz]

I cannot. Can we revoke the citizenship?

[Miles Media]

I don't know if she's even a citizen, bro.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't. Guys.

[Alex Media]

What?

[Mark Gagnon]

Do we have a country? Yeah, like, do we even have a country? You can.

[Alex Media]

You can be an elected official, and

[Mark Gagnon]

you're not even a citizen of the United States of America. What the is the point? So is she a citizen?

[Miles Media]

Nothing on this says she's a citizen.

[Mark Gagnon]

Can we look up Arcadia and see what's Asian or Chinese about it that we should have known?

[Miles Media]

Let's find out. Yeah, I don't even know really where Arcadia is.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's. It's like Los Angeles, but it's like outskirts. Oh, really?

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Have you been there?

[Mark Gagnon]

No. I looked it on a map today. I zoomed out, looked at it.

[Alex Media]

Arcadia, California, is a city in Los

[Mark Gagnon]

Angeles county, the United States, located 13 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It contains a series of adjacent parks consistent with the San Anita park race track.

[Miles Media]

Let's go through demographics.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Okay. It's looks like 18% white, 1.5% black, 64% Asian. 13%.

[Alex Media]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

No, no, we can't. This is America. You can't just bomb a place in America.

[Alex Media]

No, no. People got to know who you are.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, you can't. You can't. You can't do violence.

[Alex Media]

People got to know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop it.

[Mark Gagnon]

They got to know who you are.

[Alex Media]

Funny.

[Guest/Caller]

Al's rules about what he wants bleeped. Cuz his actual rule on that is he doesn't want the violence thing.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, it's violence, but nobody got a bomb even.

[Alex Media]

Like, nobody listening to this is going

[Mark Gagnon]

to hear your idea and then execute it. They're like, oh, yeah, we should bomb it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, and what if they do? Boom.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly. That will happen.

[Andrew Schultz]

Boom.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's

[Miles Media]

okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

The top of n. We got to

[Miles Media]

believe the top private employers in the city are Atlas Assembly, Fish bucket.

[Alex Media]

That made me

[Miles Media]

vision a bucket enterprise.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's real.

[Miles Media]

Nordstrom, Macy's, and Cheesecake Factory. Also, Din Tai Fung Son.

[Alex Media]

How the did we elect a Chinese

[Mark Gagnon]

fish head spy as mayor of a city in Los Angeles? How is that even humanly possible?

[Andrew Schultz]

They took over the whole city. Yeah, all sleepy cells.

[Mark Gagnon]

So you think it extends beyond just her? Oh, yeah. So you think there are other people in the administration that are also Chinese spies?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Alex Media]

Like, why would it just be her?

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes, exactly.

[Alex Media]

I think we need to do some serious vetting.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Mark Gagnon]

Why is nobody talking about this like this isn't a big deal?

[Miles Media]

Yeah, it's a little sketchy. Oof. I'm going through some of their last marriage. So Eileen Wang, Sharon Kwan, Michael Michael Chow, Paul Chang. Show tay. Show Tay again.

[Andrew Schultz]

The baseball player.

[Miles Media]

No show Teotani. Exactly. And then Roger Chandler.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo, guys,

[Andrew Schultz]

funny timing because Trump's in China right now speaking to Jeff Xi Jinping.

[Miles Media]

Oh, really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

You think they waited for this?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think so. Funny timing.

[Mark Gagnon]

Now, does Trump bring it up to him now by weighted. Who is who waited?

[Alex Media]

Is this.

[Mark Gagnon]

Ooh, this is interesting. Is this the Trump administration going, hey, what the fuck is going on over here? We want a bargaining chip to get something out of you. We know that you're trying to, like, interfere with our democracy, so give us a little something. We won't make a big stink of this.

[Andrew Schultz]

This.

[Mark Gagnon]

Or is this democratic opposition trying to sabotage his trip with China?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no, no, I think it's the first because he's going over there a little bit weak because of how shit is going with Iran right now. He kept signaling like oh, we're gonna have this shit figured out. And now it's not. So now China got a little pressure, like, yo, you fucking up this.

[Mark Gagnon]

You fucking it up. Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So now he's going over with. That's a little leverage point right there. It's like, oh, word. You got spies over here. Word.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, yo, shout out China, bro. That was impressive.

[Miles Media]

Game recognized game.

[Alex Media]

I keep telling you, it's like, it. This is how, this is how audacious it is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, if you were a spy, like, if we sent a spy over somewhere, I don't think you'd make them the mayor of the city.

[Alex Media]

You make them like the mayor's best friend or something.

[Miles Media]

But it's a tough sell everywhere else. Like, there's no, there's no America town in China. Probably not.

[Andrew Schultz]

We need. Need one.

[Alex Media]

Yo, it is crazy that, like, do your civil duty. If there was an American, if there

[Mark Gagnon]

was an American that had moved to another country and became a politician 1000%, that other country would assume they were a spy for America, right?

[Alex Media]

Like, there's not even a question because

[Mark Gagnon]

they already assume that we're influencing their elections even without being over there.

[Alex Media]

So if we were, they'd be like,

[Mark Gagnon]

100% they have loyalty. But if we question it at all, is racism, right?

[Alex Media]

Yeah, there is a. Like, but if I, I.

[Mark Gagnon]

If another country, if an American moved there and became an elected official, I

[Alex Media]

would think that they would be.

[Mark Gagnon]

To not assume that they had loyalty to America and that they were working on our behalf.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

I wouldn't go, oh, that's racism to

[Mark Gagnon]

assume that they're an individual operating under their own auspices.

[Alex Media]

No, I'd be like, yeah, they make sense. If they weren't working for us, I'd be like, the.

[Mark Gagnon]

Are they over there for. Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Boris Johnson.

[Andrew Schultz]

You mad at this little ski a bitch for taking their money?

[Alex Media]

I'm not mad at nobody. I'm just curious. What does Tucker say? I was asking questions.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. Boris Johnson, born in New York City, had U. S. Citizenship and then became prime minister of the UK and announced his citizenship. Got him.

[Alex Media]

Oh, got him.

[Miles Media]

Daniel Naboa.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, but he denounces citizenship, though.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but you gotta do what you gotta do to lead the. Lead the nation. Oh, okay.

[Miles Media]

Born in Miami, holds Ecuadorian U. S. Citizenship, Became president of Ecuador in 2023.

[Mark Gagnon]

That I understand.

[Miles Media]

Pope Leo, US born from Chicago, became the pope and now is the president of the Vatican. That's pretty cool.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but don't you.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's kind of getting sun, though. Trump is Kind of sunning his thing.

[Miles Media]

Trump knows the Bible better. That's what the dude said on what you call it, something he's like, yeah, obviously the Pope doesn't know what's in the Bible. Trump knows what's in the Bible.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, he did not say that.

[Miles Media]

He said, like, based off of the rhetoric going on, obviously Trump must know more about Christianity.

[Mark Gagnon]

The Pope sarcastically or dead serious?

[Miles Media]

He's being serious.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, what is going on?

[Alex Media]

That's a hard job to just cap for that motherfucker. Just let it go, man. He's fucking up everything. Just call it what it is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, you don't have to fucking cap for this dude. Like, I see that guy Scott Jennings, he's losing hair. Do you know that guy was on cnn? And his job to just be like, everything Trump is doing is right. You could tell he is stressed.

[Alex Media]

He's cursing at little teenagers they got

[Mark Gagnon]

out there arguing him.

[Alex Media]

Every new CNN guy is young. Younger than the last one.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, right.

[Alex Media]

He's like a 14 year old putting his finger in his face and get your hands out of my face. Like, he's stressed. He's dressed because there's no way, like, how open the street

[Miles Media]

anyway. Are you gonna go to Arcadia for any shows coming up?

[Mark Gagnon]

I gotta perform in Arcadia. Yeah, I'm going there for Chinese New Year.

[Alex Media]

What was that Chinese New Year celebration? Do you think they leaned in or

[Mark Gagnon]

do you think they, like, they made it quiet because they're like, yo, we were already running this. No, they probably went also. What's in Arcadia that's advantageous to the Chinese government? Is there a research lab there?

[Miles Media]

They say it has one of the best transit systems in California.

[Guest/Caller]

All right, we're in.

[Miles Media]

It's known for its light rail and its buses fire.

[Alex Media]

They're good at making railroads.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I would.

[Mark Gagnon]

I would give it up to them in that regard. Historically speaking, they made some good railroads.

[Miles Media]

Some of the best.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. They also have any rare metals and.

[Miles Media]

Any rare metals.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, they gotta have some stuff over here.

[Miles Media]

They have a great healthcare system. 22 acre Arcadia Hospital. It's an official hospital.

[Mark Gagnon]

All right.

[Alex Media]

Some dick sucking China.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know.

[Mark Gagnon]

God.

[Miles Media]

I'm just saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's going on?

[Miles Media]

They're good nurses too, apparently.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, check the hospitals. They probably got all the under.

[Mark Gagnon]

They got some deals going on over

[Miles Media]

there and they have some famous people that have moved out of there. Like Erica Wu, a table tennis champion.

[Mark Gagnon]

Obviously. That's pretty good.

[Miles Media]

Mark Twan, member of the South Korean boy band, got D7. Jet Li, international film star, resided In Arcadia with his wife, former Miss China.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yo, he was asking to come on the pod.

[Miles Media]

We gotta talk to him about this. Yo, we gotta reach out to him and see what's going on.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm with that.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'll press him. How would you press the guy who's like a martial artist?

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna throw miles in front of me.

[Alex Media]

Let's talk, okay?

[Miles Media]

Can we do more feelings on facts?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Guest/Caller]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

Hant of virus.

[Mark Gagnon]

Fake Alex.

[Andrew Schultz]

Real

[Alex Media]

idiot.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't think it's real.

[Andrew Schultz]

People died already.

[Mark Gagnon]

No, they didn't.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, he did. Three people died.

[Mark Gagnon]

They're on a boat.

[Alex Media]

Let me tell you something. Three people died. Let me tell you something. Nobody's getting off that boat.

[Andrew Schultz]

150 people got off the boat already.

[Mark Gagnon]

This is why we got pandemics.

[Alex Media]

This is why we got pandemics, guys. If there's a deadly virus on the boat, they stay on the boat. It's not like they can't eat on the boat.

[Miles Media]

It's not like.

[Alex Media]

Like they can't live quarantine until everybody

[Mark Gagnon]

dies, and then we don't have a pandemic.

[Miles Media]

This is the headline from CN cnn. All passengers evacuated from cruise ship hit by.

[Alex Media]

Why would you evacuate the people with the virus? China Got to be looking at this like these motherfuckers about to do it again. These dumb motherfuckers about to do it again.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you know where that's at? Spain. You know where I just came from.

[Miles Media]

Oh, come on. Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Patient number one, baby. Come on. Patient zero. Whatever. Just go.

[Mark Gagnon]

You not either.

[Alex Media]

You're not either.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah.

[Miles Media]

Dies. Someone already died.

[Alex Media]

They are patient number one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but if I brought it here,

[Alex Media]

you just a side. You didn't even get the first herpes. You got some other bitches herpes?

[Mark Gagnon]

No. You got to keep them on the boat in perpetuity.

[Alex Media]

And if they make it, they make it. And God bless them if they don't.

[Mark Gagnon]

It'd be like that.

[Miles Media]

Just leave them on the boat.

[Guest/Caller]

Also, it's the Canary I Islands owned by Spain.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's Africa.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shut up.

[Alex Media]

Shut up. No, no, I think he's making a good point, which is like, would they

[Mark Gagnon]

unload them to Europe?

[Alex Media]

No.

[Mark Gagnon]

But will they unload them to Africa?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, but Canary Islands is where all the Spanish people go to. That's their Miami.

[Mark Gagnon]

But they got to stop it.

[Alex Media]

They got to stop it.

[Mark Gagnon]

You're not allowed to go. I'm being dead serious, guys. Like, why are we being so loosey goosey with this? If it's a deadly violence virus, you Keep him on the boat. We see what happens. It's not like we shouldn't give them food.

[Alex Media]

Give them food.

[Mark Gagnon]

Give them doctors, whatever. But you just also.

[Guest/Caller]

Don't dock it. If we're. If we're doing this hypothetical. Don't put it at a dock.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, yeah, you out there.

[Alex Media]

Leave it out.

[Guest/Caller]

And then bring the food out and back. Like.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles Media]

The way the Dutch guy got it is hilarious.

[Mark Gagnon]

I told you how he got it.

[Andrew Schultz]

A rat.

[Miles Media]

He was a rat.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't listen.

[Miles Media]

Apparently, he went to a trap trash dump on his vacation. And then. But he went to the trash dump first.

[Alex Media]

Okay.

[Miles Media]

That was like a part of his sightseeing. Why that part is not explained.

[Guest/Caller]

From what I understand, it is a landfill. And it says the world's most southern landfill because it's at the bottom of the continent.

[Mark Gagnon]

And he checked it out because it was in Argentina. Yeah, yeah.

[Miles Media]

And he was like, on my vacation. My wife. We're gonna go look at garbage.

[Andrew Schultz]

I blame y'.

[Alex Media]

All.

[Andrew Schultz]

Y' all white people always just gotta

[Alex Media]

look at that part like, y' all be doing this. Like, come on, bro.

[Miles Media]

That is on us.

[Mark Gagnon]

You're right.

[Alex Media]

I don't even know what to say.

[Mark Gagnon]

I'm embarrassed. Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Because I want to know what the

[Alex Media]

trash dump looks like. Like, a little party is like, yo, you're curious. I wish I wasn't, because it's so far.

[Miles Media]

I'm curious because you, like, there's no way they have trash this far south.

[Alex Media]

I also need to see. What, like an Argentinian trash?

[Miles Media]

What does it look?

[Alex Media]

It's just got, like, Nazi memorabilia in it?

[Guest/Caller]

No, the trash dump has a bunch of birds that come and pick food off of it. It's a birding site.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, God. With the white people and the birds, man,

[Miles Media]

look how cool this is.

[Alex Media]

Whoa.

[Miles Media]

That's fire. Isn't that sick? Do you want to see?

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Miles Media]

You don't even want. You're not even curious a little bit?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, not at all, guys. Not at all.

[Alex Media]

We need to do better.

[Mark Gagnon]

We need to do better. But you just leave them on the boat. All right, what else we got? Feelings. No. Facts.

[Miles Media]

Ok. UFO file has been dropped by Trump. Officially.

[Andrew Schultz]

Desperation.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's desperation, man. That's how you know he's up. I don't know.

[Miles Media]

I mean, yeah, people have not been super stoked about this file release, cuz it's nothing.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's just like black and white target practice. You could create it with AI. Like, nah, this is the.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Epstein binders.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

Whole lot of nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, a whole lot of nothing.

[Mark Gagnon]

Whole lot nothing though. I would like to talk to a UFO guy cuz I want to understand, understand why they are so convinced it's real.

[Alex Media]

Like I spoke to that Bob Lazar

[Mark Gagnon]

dude and like he convinced me that what he believed, he convinced me that he wasn't lying. Now that doesn't mean that it is true what he was working on was UFO technology. But like I, I don't believe that he was a liar that was just trying to like grift and make money. Yeah. If anything, I believe that he like didn't really want to share it because he had like received so much backlash throughout his entire life.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, I didn't like Trump's tweet is a little. That's how I knew this bullshit. Why is Because Trump goes, as for my promise to you, the Department of War has released the first tranche of UFO UAP files to the public for view. People can decide for themselves what the hell is going on. Have fun and enjoy. That's when I was like, all right, the second you're signing off with like, have fun, I'm like, all right, you

[Mark Gagnon]

know, ain't nothing in there, bro. Release the second trunch of the Epstein files with all your homies.

[Alex Media]

Release that. Release the unredacted Epstein files.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's what we want to see. We don't want to see UFOs.

[Miles Media]

But what about this? You're not convinced when you look at this. What is that?

[Mark Gagnon]

Dude, it's a plane, bro.

[Miles Media]

All right, what about this one? Oh, that's a little weird. All right, well what about this one? This one's even crazier. Look at this.

[Mark Gagnon]

There AI.

[Miles Media]

Oh, aliens.

[Mark Gagnon]

Anyway, go on.

[Miles Media]

All right. They found a. Allegedly a suicide note from Epstein.

[Mark Gagnon]

You got to read this suicide note. Read the suicide note.

[Miles Media]

Let me pull it up, let me pull up.

[Alex Media]

You read the suicide note and tell

[Mark Gagnon]

me that Trump didn't write it himself.

[Alex Media]

I, I defy you to read the

[Mark Gagnon]

suicide note and tell me that this isn't exactly Trump's way of speaking.

[Miles Media]

So it says this. They investigated me for months, found nothing. So 15 year old charges resulted. It's a treat to be able to choose when you say goodbye. What you, what you want me to do? Bust out crying, no fun, underlined, not worth it.

[Mark Gagnon]

That's.

[Miles Media]

This is what.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I heard there was like other emails where he said similar.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, but like you don't think that they went through the emails and were like, hey, grab a few things he says regularly. And then we'll write some bullshit ass note that justifies that he killed himself.

[Andrew Schultz]

This administration, they do stupid shit. They don't like that sounds like that's stupid. No, but that sounds like the logical thing.

[Alex Media]

He wrote it in his own voice. Read it. I mean, I'm so.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, we don't have to do Trump accents anymore, but, like, read it in his. In his voice. Do you have the actual writing?

[Miles Media]

Yeah, yeah, this is the actual note.

[Mark Gagnon]

No one can read that. Chicken scratch. Let me see if I can find the actual words that he says.

[Miles Media]

It's all broken up in this article.

[Mark Gagnon]

I know they don't understand how to do media, so I got it right here. Oh, God. I can't believe I'm gonna do a Trump accent. I'm not gonna do a Trump accent, but I'll do the tonation of it. They investigated me for months, found nothing.

[Alex Media]

Is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye.

[Mark Gagnon]

What you want me do to do?

[Alex Media]

Bust out crying?

[Miles Media]

No fun.

[Mark Gagnon]

Not worth it. Kill himself.

[Miles Media]

Thank you for attention to this matter.

[Alex Media]

Thank you for attention. It's just. That's a Trump tweet right there. So they just find some stuff in

[Mark Gagnon]

the emails, like, make it look like it.

[Miles Media]

Now, people have pointed at this where they're like, this is an actual Epstein letter that he wrote to someone. And they're like, look at all the T's.

[Mark Gagnon]

Look at how he writes. Yeah, but you could use AI to recreate all this.

[Miles Media]

But then they look at his writing here, and they're like, this doesn't look like his writing at all.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, because it's not. It's Cash Patel, and it's. I trying to stay on the line.

[Alex Media]

There's.

[Mark Gagnon]

Guys, this is such. I can't believe we're even not. I understand why we're entertaining this, but, like, I can't believe anybody believes.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, like what the whole thing is.

[Mark Gagnon]

Not the whole thing, but a big part of what this is hinging on is that he actually killed himself. Right? Like, they're. They're going, nothing.

[Alex Media]

There's no foul play here, even though there's sons of foul play.

[Mark Gagnon]

But look, there's proof right here. He has this thing where he says

[Miles Media]

goodbye, and it helps the powers that be to be like, yeah, he's gone. He killed himself.

[Mark Gagnon]

Exactly.

[Alex Media]

They're saying, get over it. We're not getting over it, bro. Someone got to get arrested.

[Miles Media]

I will say I do think it's possible that Epstein wrote it. It just doesn't read to me like a suicide, though. Like, he doesn't say goodbye to anyone. He doesn't say, like, to my friends, to my family. I love, like, nothing like that. He's just like, jail sucks. There was another note purportedly attributed to Epstein that was also found that basically is just like him recounting his time in prison. And he's like, was in a shower, locked for an hour, bugs crawling across my hands. No fun. Not worth is a.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's. I mean, it's not funny, but it is that. So far, the only person that's been arrested in the entire Epstein case in the United States of America is a woman.

[Alex Media]

Like, it's kind of. It's so absurd that it's funny. Like, there's. It's horrible. Like, let me just point this out that this absolutely horrible. But there's a pedophile ring that they're obviously like, keeping under wraps.

[Miles Media]

The most powerful men in this country are abusing children in a systematic manner. And you know who's going to pay for it?

[Alex Media]

The one woman involved is the only one locked up. It's insane, right? It is. Like, I'm shocked that all, like, the feminist blogs aren't talking about this non stop.

[Miles Media]

Like, it's a tough one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I know. It's like, because you also got to be like, free.

[Alex Media]

No, don't say free.

[Mark Gagnon]

It.

[Alex Media]

But like, how is this the only person arrested? The girl.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles Media]

I mean, in fairness, Epstein did get arrested.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

But then he broke out.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

But then he went on the run.

[Alex Media]

Technically, the only person. Because it was Ghis.

[Mark Gagnon]

Convicted.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alex Media]

So the only person convicted in the entire operation.

[Miles Media]

Yes.

[Mark Gagnon]

Abroad and here. Yeah. Is a woman.

[Alex Media]

Like, how is. Like, that's an insane statistic. Yeah, yeah. As someone who does not like to enable people who talk about how sexist the world is, we've reached a rock and a hard place or something like that. Like, this seems blatantly sexist.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, yeah, it's a.

[Alex Media]

It's not one person convicted besides the woman involved.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is what happens when you have a girl, man. Softens you up, bro.

[Alex Media]

It does.

[Miles Media]

That is.

[Alex Media]

But that is crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it is nuts.

[Alex Media]

She should be convicted.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Alex Media]

But there must have been somebody else

[Mark Gagnon]

we could convict too.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, well, the other dudes are also better at offing themselves. You know what I mean? John the Brunel offs himself.

[Mark Gagnon]

Oh, that's true.

[Alex Media]

What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Women aren't as good as.

[Mark Gagnon]

At suicide.

[Andrew Schultz]

At suicide.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah, that is a good point. Because they can't make up their minds,

[Miles Media]

like, what am I going to eat?

[Alex Media]

Which One is it.

[Miles Media]

I don't know what to eat.

[Alex Media]

They're ruminating back and forth.

[Mark Gagnon]

Do I to want.

[Miles Media]

I want to live?

[Mark Gagnon]

Do I want to die?

[Alex Media]

Do I want to hang?

[Mark Gagnon]

Do I want to shoot myself? Do I want to.

[Alex Media]

You know, it's like they can't make up their mind. So you end up in jail, locked up. You're just locked up, walking around the yard.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. Apparently she's having a great time, according to people on the inside.

[Mark Gagnon]

What are they saying?

[Miles Media]

They're saying that she's, like, in a very nice prison. People are taking care of her.

[Guest/Caller]

She gets to play with puppies.

[Miles Media]

Yeah. She's doing, like, therapy with dogs, trying to reintegrate back into society. So she's learned her.

[Andrew Schultz]

My wife

[Alex Media]

just locked inside of the dog.

[Miles Media]

So, yeah, justice won't be served.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is crazy, bro.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

They really going to get away with this.

[Miles Media]

They.

[Alex Media]

They really going to get.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get away with this.

[Mark Gagnon]

They need to lock up Mala, too. That's another one. Yeah, I did that. So poor. I did that so poorly.

[Alex Media]

I almost bit in the.

[Miles Media]

No, that would be so happy.

[Mark Gagnon]

So bad together. And then got me on Eileen.

[Miles Media]

Okay. More feelings. No facts.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yes.

[Miles Media]

Strickland beats Hamza.

[Mark Gagnon]

What a fight. Crazy. Also, the fight before that, Joshua man versus the mayor of Arcadia. Unbelievable, dude. The fight, those two fights were fantastic. And the. But the Joshua van. I think his name is Tyro or something. Tyro was unbelievable.

[Andrew Schultz]

Believable. I didn't even see him.

[Mark Gagnon]

But then Strickland beating Hamzat.

[Miles Media]

Tedro.

[Mark Gagnon]

Tyro. Tyro. Yeah. Was incredible.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, this was a lot of talking, like, real talking leading up to this one. Right.

[Alex Media]

And then they were, like, really cordial

[Mark Gagnon]

with one another afterwards. Put the belt around. Strickland goes and apologizes. Yeah. You know, like, Strickland is a fascinating character. Like, I mean, this fight was just

[Andrew Schultz]

Strickland put on some side.

[Alex Media]

So Strickland's big, dude.

[Andrew Schultz]

He looks even.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. Hamza couldn't. I mean, Hamza kept him down. I think it was the first round, and. But he couldn't really do any damage or anything. And then Strickland, in the second round, blocks a takedown. And then Hamza gives up.

[Alex Media]

He.

[Mark Gagnon]

What's called, pulls guard. So he essentially goes on his back, like, almost walking. So I don't know if I've ever seen Hamza do that in mma. Like, not a single fight where he just rolls on his back. And in that moment, you're going, what the is happening over here? Does he lack confidence? Is he tired? Like, what's going on.

[Alex Media]

Then Hamza kind of comes back in the fourth.

[Mark Gagnon]

So it was up to the fifth round. Like, it was a. It was an awesome fight. These guys are warriors.

[Andrew Schultz]

And, yeah, wasn't trying to take him down the whole fight.

[Mark Gagnon]

I think Strickland created a scenario where Hamza realized, like, I'm going to gas myself out trying to take you down, and I'm not going to be effective after I take you down. So Strickland does this amazing thing where he makes you. When he's at his best, he makes you fight his fight. He blocks leg kicks really well, and eventually you stop throwing the kicks because you're like, it hurts when we're going shin on shin. And his competitive advantage is when you guys are standing up and you are punching each other. And he found a way where he's like, I don't need to take this to the ground. What I need you to do is think you can't be effective on the ground. I don't need to exchange kicks with you. What I need you to do is not want to kick me anymore.

[Alex Media]

So he punishes you for doing the

[Mark Gagnon]

things you're good at and then forces you to fight him the way that he's good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, okay.

[Mark Gagnon]

And. And then he has just this, like, amazing, like, piston jab. And it was just awesome. Like, the fight was awesome.

[Miles Media]

Is it good for the weight class to see Strickland?

[Mark Gagnon]

I think. I think it's always good to have a American fighter be a belt holder, especially like a wild boy. I know people will hate certain things that he said, etc. Like, I mean, bro, his nose is completely busted up. Like, broken and just massive and swollen. And he looks at himself and he sees himself in, like, a reflection of something. He was like, oh, my God, I look like I work for apac.

[Alex Media]

So, like, there's going to be things

[Mark Gagnon]

that he says that wrap people up.

[Alex Media]

But you have to understand, like, this

[Mark Gagnon]

is fight sports, where these guys go out there and they try to kill each other.

[Alex Media]

You know what I mean? Like, they say insane to people.

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, this is. You want to talk about, like, the roast being insane stuff. These guys are saying insane stuff before they go out there and potentially lose their life or take someone's life. And that's not hypothesis, hyperbole. That happens sometimes in the sport. So I'm not saying that, like, everything they say is okay, but it is a very. When you're fighting somebody for your life, you will speak very differently about them and to them than you will outside of that. And it's going to elicit all these emotions. And it seemed like I'm justifying the things he said. Whatever. You don't care what you want to say. What I'm saying is, until you're in that scenario, I don't. You don't know how you would really act.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

And the reality is, when these fights do get hyped up in that way, there's more interest and these guys make more money. Now you could start to, you know, be critical of that. Be like, well, is it worth making the money? It's like, all right, well, you're not putting your life on the line every time you go on the ring and the market decides. We are more invested when the guys hate each other.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, right.

[Mark Gagnon]

When the guys are super pleasant and like, let's shake hands and let's hug and kiss before a fight, we don't care as much.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's honestly the only thing I heard about this was the build up. Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

And the build up was crazy.

[Miles Media]

People have criticized, like, the grapplers and they're like, oh, these grapplers, like, they make the fights boring.

[Alex Media]

Yeah, it is. It is.

[Mark Gagnon]

For the. For a casual fan, it is boring. It is. It's like, I understand if you're a grappler and you've dedicated your life to that, that's super interesting to you because it's incredibly technical and like, each tiny move is setting up another move. And that's great. And the point is to win and they win. But what the casual fan likes is carnage and fisticuffs and kicks. They really kind of want a kickboxing match that can also go to the ground. That's kind of what the casual fan really appreciates. So, like, having someone who's going to go out there and swing is. Is what they want. And, like, the people that have done that at the highest level are the people that probably have made the most money. Like, you know, Conor, just knocking people out is really fun to watch the heavyweights just going and bang and knock people out. Fun. Fun to watch the guys kind of wrestling or the guys, you know, grappling. It's. They're just not going to be as big stars. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That bare knuckle fighting that he was watching, when they're biting people's dogs off, that was like, can that ever be sanctioned?

[Mark Gagnon]

Well, I think they do it bare knuckles. So the BKFC is the bare knuckle league.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. But with the Biden, like, all the.

[Alex Media]

Everything goes.

[Mark Gagnon]

Why is there just.

[Miles Media]

We can't do that.

[Andrew Schultz]

There should just be one fight fight league where anything goes.

[Mark Gagnon]

I mean, they have these, like.

[Miles Media]

You're describing Rome right now.

[Alex Media]

No, it's not even.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's not even Rome. There is one. There are these underground fights. I'm forgetting the name. You guys probably seen it where, like, the guys, they fight in, like, a parking lot or, like, an alley or something like that. And these guys that organize it, all the organizers wear masks and they have their, like. I think they might even have their, like, voices up or whatever. And they're like, it's like an illegal fight ring. And they just pay guys who are willing to do it. You can gouge eyes. Like, you literally see guys pushing each other's eyeballs into their heads.

[Miles Media]

Damn.

[Mark Gagnon]

And you see it. I don't know how it's available on YouTube, but I watch it on social media.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get the out of here. That's.

[Mark Gagnon]

Wow.

[Miles Media]

Yeah, that's.

[Mark Gagnon]

So that does exist, and that's the most gnarly version of it.

[Miles Media]

Maybe I'm getting too soft.

[Alex Media]

That's not.

[Mark Gagnon]

It's hard to. It's hard to watch, but I watch that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just follow it with some Coco melo.

[Alex Media]

Yeah. Wash it down.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

Well, any. Any closing thoughts? Anything you want to say about Cocomelon or the roast or the Knicks or Haunted virus?

[Mark Gagnon]

Just good vibes for the Knicks, guys. Just good vibes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Good vibes. Good vibes.

[Mark Gagnon]

All we want is good vibes for the Knicks. Okay. Congratulations to Sean on that amazing victory.

[Alex Media]

Hantavirus.

[Mark Gagnon]

You got to keep them on the ship, man. I really, really, really feel strongly about that. I do.

[Miles Media]

And film it. Turn to reality show, honestly, streaming on Bravo, Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

I'd watch that.

[Miles Media]

Right?

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

We should do a Traders with just Chinese people.

[Alex Media]

And you gotta pick out which mayor.

[Mark Gagnon]

Which mayor or which Olympic skier, whatever.

[Alex Media]

Like, you gotta pick out which one

[Mark Gagnon]

are actually loyal to the United States of America and which ones are working for China.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like this idea.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah.

[Alex Media]

This is a.

[Miles Media]

That's honestly pretty good. And they're all in a boat.

[Mark Gagnon]

Let's not get too crazy.

[Miles Media]

One person is haunted virus.

[Alex Media]

We're going to see who has it. You're adding a lot of elements to this.

[Mark Gagnon]

Right.

[Miles Media]

It's layered. Super layered.

[Mark Gagnon]

It is layered.

[Miles Media]

Yeah.

[Mark Gagnon]

It is layered.

[Miles Media]

And then UFO files. Hopefully we get the, you know, proof that there's aliens.

[Alex Media]

Yeah.

[Miles Media]

And then the roast. I hope we do more.

[Mark Gagnon]

Yeah. The roasts are fantastic. Congratulations, everybody. Who crushed on the roast? You gave me unbelievable FOMO and. And keep killing it. Yeah. I think we just need more rose

[Alex Media]

I also like the idea of, like,

[Mark Gagnon]

every other year because they didn't do one last year.

[Alex Media]

You know what I mean?

[Mark Gagnon]

Like, spacing them out is kind of nice, too, because you. It feels like an event. Yeah.

[Alex Media]

If it's too regular, I feel like

[Mark Gagnon]

you kind of get used to it. Also, like, roast jokes kind of start to sound similar, you know, so just, like, spacing out a little bit so we forget we miss it. And then banger. And now you got two years to get, you know, tiger to do it or somebody else to do it.

[Alex Media]

I like that.

[Mark Gagnon]

I like that. Like, the Olympics is great. It's every four years. The World cup is great. It's every four years. You could even go every four years.

[Miles Media]

Yo, an inter country roast. You get one comment from every country.

[Andrew Schultz]

We don't give a about the non. Come on.

[Mark Gagnon]

I don't want to.

[Miles Media]

What if we got Eileen?

[Alex Media]

Why would you even wang Eileen Wang. Mayor, the joke we did already so

[Andrew Schultz]

mad he got caught.

[Miles Media]

That's just so dumb. It's not.

[Alex Media]

Yo, we love you. We appreciate you. We see you on Patreon. Peace.
