Transcript

[A]

Were you worried about what the 145% tariffs were doing to small businesses here in the U.S. is that why you're bringing it down? No, no, no. Your call has been forwarded. Should I call him again?

[B]

Yes, but China's not doing any business. They were doing Adam. Greenland keeps calling me. Yo, what's up? I'm live.

[A]

Salaam alaykum, Hasan. How are you, habibi?

[B]

I'm good. What's up? What's going on?

[A]

Okay, I. It's Friday. Friday. Finally it's happening.

[B]

Okay, what's happening?

[A]

Your episode is coming out.

[B]

Oh, wow. Okay. It's finally. It's finally happening.

[A]

It's here.

[B]

Hasan, I'm overjoyed. Thank you.

[A]

And I just want to thank you for your friendship and your. The solidarity that you've shown me throughout this entire crazy period of my life. Okay, I. The answer is yes.

[B]

I will hide you.

[A]

Hey, guys. Ladies and gentlemen, the bitch is back. It's Adam Friedland. I've come back. Listen, it's been a month we've been gone, and I don't know, to be honest, there have been a lot of changes in my life, and I'm feeling good again, you know? The good news is I got engaged to a woman. What else? I read the Quran. Finally. I finally got around to rewatching Donnie Darko, which I found to be just as trippy as the first time that I saw it when I was a baby. Today is the final installment of our Lost episode series. The guest is Hasan Piker. Many people have noted that he is perhaps a protege of mine. I think we finally passed the torch during this episode. I think the teacher has become the master. What is it?

[B]

The master has become the student.

[A]

The master has become the student. The hunter has become the hunted. Next month, the new season of the Adam Freeland show will be launching. This is. It's a massive roll of the dice on my part, throwing my life savings behind the project right now. My partner has moved on. I just can't stand what's happening right now in this country. I can't sit back and watch democracy be assaulted over and over again. I know how to fix this, and you have to trust me. America. So next month, it begins. Get ready, folks. I guess I'll end this by saying what no one has the fucking guts to say. President Donald John Trump, you're fired. Doing your. Doing your fucking clown shit.

[B]

Yeah. No. No clown shit here.

[A]

No clown.

[B]

What do you want me to. You want me. Are we rehearsing the walk like Is there a specific type of walk?

[A]

Do you need to rehearse it? I thought you were physically fit, man. Ladies and gentlemen, a special introduction. Today, Merriam Webster's Dictionary defines hero as a mythological or legendary figure, often of divine descent, endowed with great strength, an illustrious warrior, a person admired for achievements and noble qualities, one who shows great courage. But to me, my hero is our next guest. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Turkish political commentator Hasan Piker, everyone. Nice muscles, dude.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Okay. You got a great bob, though.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Great arms. Great chest. How long have you been getting muscles for?

[B]

Yeah, I used to be really super fat, and then I moved to LA and I was living with a bunch of personal trainers.

[A]

So sick.

[B]

And. No, it's because I was broke.

[A]

Do you attribute any modicum of your success to just to being a big strong guy?

[B]

Being attractive?

[A]

Yeah. If you were like a Quasimodo, would people be listening to you about, like.

[B]

No. I mean, people were probably listening, but like, not to the same degree.

[A]

They wouldn't be looking, though.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I think, like, this is actually kind of serious. I'm gassing myself up a little bit, which is weird. Get serious. I do think that there's a lot of these Andrew Tate types out there, right? Which is really funny. Cause he's. I mean, he dresses super European, like super gay, like, unimaginably gay. He wears like those little slipper loafers and, like, super tight pants. There's this entire, like, like new wing of, I guess, right wing adjacent content creators that are all like former life insurance salesmen and shit. And they all present themselves as like super masculine alpha dogs. And I feel like the way I look kind of counters that a little bit because, like, you know, you look like the archetypical, stereotypical leftist guy.

[A]

What is that supposed to mean?

[B]

Just handsome.

[A]

You're coming on my damn show, fucking sunning my ass immediately. Do you dress gay like Andrew Tates?

[B]

No, I just dress gay because I'm gay. No, but I'm saying you got stylists and stuff. No.

[A]

How much Rick Owens have you bought?

[B]

This is the only. This is the Doc Martens one. And these are the only.

[A]

Those are literally the collabo Rick Owens.

[B]

Yeah. They're sick, though. They're super comfy and also relatively affordable. They're like 300 bucks.

[A]

Wait, so let's back up. You grew up in Turkey?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What's like the vibe that there?

[B]

Chill.

[A]

You think?

[B]

I think. Yeah.

[A]

I was in an econ class in college, freshman year, like 8am class, and there was Like a crew of internationals. And they all weremes, like, belt, Gucci shoes. Like, you know, the kind of like the international students at college. They had blast cigs outside the library.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

But I was like. They were all talking some. Some type of language. I'm like, what the kind of language is that? Yeah, and it was a. It was your.

[B]

It was my. My language. My people's language.

[A]

Turk. Turkish.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

It was that language.

[B]

They were all.

[A]

It's very like.

[B]

Is. Is it like that?

[A]

Yeah, it's very like, milk. Milk throat.

[B]

I don't know if that's Turkish, bro.

[A]

No, what is it?

[B]

I feel like Turkish is more like.

[A]

Like a snobby Arabic. Like, we're a little bit European.

[B]

That definitely is the vibe. You're 100% right. Turks will get very mad if you ever call them Arab. Like, they're not Arab anyway, but, like, still, there's, like, Arabic background.

[A]

Yeah. Everyone thinks that's some type of Arab over here.

[B]

Yeah. Turkey also rebranded under Erdogan is called Turkey now. They, like. They changed it. They're like. Everyone has to say the. You know, the Turkish way of saying.

[A]

That's kind of. I like that, actually.

[B]

I don't think people are doing it, though.

[A]

No, no, people don't. I mean, that's kind of disrespect if someone's just making up a different name for your country.

[B]

I don't care.

[A]

Let's back up. Because my audience is, like, pretty mature, intellectual style. So many of them.

[B]

I've seen the subreddit.

[A]

Many of them might not know. I don't know what you're talking about. Many of them might not know, like, you know, streaming or games or whatever. Minecraft crafts or whatever. So could you, like, just explain for our audience, like, what it is? Like, how would you explain what it is that you do?

[B]

The way I explain it to, you know, like, mainstream media people is like, I'm basically like a Rush Limbaugh without crippling opiate addiction or brain cancer. I do that. You're just as hateful against white people, though. It's like a reverse Rush Limbaugh.

[A]

You hate white people.

[B]

No, I love white people. I'm white.

[A]

You do that because I have a Turkish friend that tries to play it. Like he's.

[B]

Tries to play it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Tries to play like he's not. Like he's not. You're from the Euro side of Istanbul, but, like, you have to just know everything. Like, you have to have an opinion. Right.

[B]

I mean, I. I do yeah, but like that's.

[A]

You have to have an opinion on something, right?

[B]

Not really. Plenty of things I don't have an opinion on.

[A]

You're doing it in real time, right? Yeah, so like you're like streaming eight hours a day. A news article drops and then you just drop. Drop knowledge on it, right? Yeah, but like, that's really fast. Yeah, but like, what if you're wrong?

[B]

Sometimes I do get stuff wrong. Like I'll have like the whole Israel thing.

[A]

Wait, can I try it? Can you just like, let's say give me a breaking news.

[B]

Okay. And you want to do.

[A]

And then I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give an opinion.

[B]

Okay. Breaking news.

[A]

Because I have an opinion on. I don't believe in anything anymore. Okay, so now I'm gonna try to do your thing.

[B]

Breaking news. The United nations have come out with a new report that halves the number of child and women fatalities since October 7th in the latest siege that Israel conducted in Gaza.

[A]

I don't understand what any of those words mean. Can you make an easier one? Like what, Kamala Harris got shot in the head or something?

[B]

That's that easier.

[A]

Okay, that halves. Vice president halves the October 7th.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

What are you even going.

[B]

I gave you a real USA Today headline from yesterday.

[A]

Just tell me one. Just make one up. You say it just happened and I gotta be on Hassan baby stream.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

And I gotta like go like this and I have to tell the kids. Okay, so give me one.

[B]

Okay. After a visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Joe Biden shit in his diapers.

[A]

After a visit with Chinese leader.

[B]

You asked for an easy one.

[A]

Give it to me. Let's run it again.

[B]

Okay. After a visit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Joe Biden was reported to shit in his diapers. That's it. That's what I would have said actually. That's. You just. Bro, are you coming for my shit?

[A]

Yeah, I'm just, I'm just shooting from the hip. I went on your stream, right? And I was shocked. You have 25,000 people that are just constantly watching. What you're doing has more of a similarity. And this isn't condescending to like, to like Jake Paul than like Wolf Blitzer, right? Because you are to some extent a content creator online that interfaces with an audience, right?

[B]

When I started writing and like doing video essays and stuff on the young Turks, like the space online for leftist political commentary was super marginal. Like it was non existent. And there were some like old school radio talk show guys like, you know, Sam Cedar, I Would say Cenk was a little bit on that like left adjacent content creator side on the Internet, but everything was dominated by right wing politics. And all these fucking neck bearded nerds were just like really annoying. They weren't cool, they were not charismatic, they were not entertaining. And they were basically.

[A]

And it was video games too. Like a lot of.

[B]

I mean, but I like video games too. I play video games as well. And I knew, like, I knew that there was enough people that had similar opinions to myself that would appreciate a perspective that they rarely get to hear from a dude who isn't like a super Tumblr guy. Because there was definitely at this time.

[A]

What's a Tumblr guy?

[B]

Like a dude who like people that grew up on Tumblr. Like there were a lot of people.

[A]

You used to be able to beat off from Tumblr, but they got rid of it.

[B]

I never really went on Tumblr, so I can't.

[A]

They used to show stuff you could beat off to, I think.

[B]

Furry porn. Is that what you're talking about?

[A]

Furry porn?

[B]

Furry porn, yeah, that's what they had on top of you.

[A]

You have a real specific way that you come.

[B]

A real specific way. Sometimes, sometimes you need like a whole. If I come so hard I can. I literally cramp on my abs.

[A]

That's not what I'm asking.

[B]

What are you asking?

[A]

You need like a scenario that's like, this is the one thing that makes me feel like God or something. Cause for me it's just kissing girl, you know I love you. Kind of missionary, kind of over doggy at this point.

[B]

Deep staring into the eyes.

[A]

Do you think doggy is queer?

[B]

Do I think doggy is queer?

[A]

Yeah. Even if it's with a girl.

[B]

It's a little bit like, it's a little gay.

[A]

It's not. It's like a little bit.

[B]

I get what you're saying.

[A]

It's a little. I mean, and that's chill. I'm not saying that it's a little queer.

[B]

We're pro queer in this space.

[A]

No, I'm anti doggy though, at this point. Yeah, I like. Okay, so you're anti queer for my sex? Yeah, I like. I like kissing. I love you. And then bus. I'm sorry. And then how was that for you? Uh huh. And then like. And then I like kiss and they say, what are we even doing? Do you say that?

[B]

No.

[A]

You've never done that?

[B]

No, I've never done that.

[A]

You gotta go with a sweetie and kiss and be like, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. You've never done that?

[B]

No.

[A]

Why? Cause you're on fucking stream talking to these gum psychos.

[B]

That's what I'm doing. I'm too busy.

[A]

But here's the question, okay? Like, there are comedians I know that are on the road 52 weeks a year, right? And they're doing observational comedy, right? They're. They're. But at a certain point, like, if they're observing society, but they're not participating in society.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Then, like, how. Like, it doesn't. Like, in my mind, I'm like, that's just bizarre, right?

[B]

Yeah, that's what happens. Like Kevin Hart, if you're in a chair.

[A]

Like, if you're in a. You got ergonomic, probably. Do you have a racing seat kind of thing?

[B]

You were in my house. You saw my chair. You sat on one of my chairs. You don't remember? I have a. I have a. I don't remember. I have a Herman Miller.

[A]

Herman Miller.

[B]

Logitech edition. They sent it to me.

[A]

I remember I went into your house, and then you had a rag. You put it on my face, and then I woke up, and then I had AOC written on my forehead.

[B]

Yeah. No, I mean, like, that's what I do to people.

[A]

But I'm saying it's like, if you. Because of the grind that you're on, it does preclude you from kind of like, how. How you gonna be socialist if you ain't in society? If you're like. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Like, and I'm not, like, criticizing. I'm saying, like, you know, like, interface.

[B]

Sounds a lot like you're criticizing.

[A]

No, it sounds like you're being defensive, bro.

[B]

I'm being a little defensive. I know, but it feels like I'm under attack.

[A]

I'm saying, like, you know, and it's. I'm not. I don't want to go touch grass. Touch grass means, like, you have to get off the computer, right?

[B]

Yeah. Go outside.

[A]

Touch grass.

[B]

Be one with nature.

[A]

But it's weird to touch it, Walk on it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What do you mean?

[B]

Take shoes off.

[A]

Touch grass. Touch grass is what someone says that doesn't go outside. Right.

[B]

Ironically, you mentioned that. But, like, yes. If someone says touch grass, like, no one who's already in the process of being outside is like, touch grass.

[A]

You're observing through the Internet. Right. And kind of. It precludes you a lot of the time, I would imagine, from, like, interfacing with real humans, your community, your society.

[B]

Yeah. You Know, I. That's why I try to, like, every moment that I'm not on stream.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I try to, you know, do that sort of thing. I go outside.

[A]

You touch grass.

[B]

I touch grass, yeah.

[A]

What do you do? Like, after you get off stream, 8pm you take the dog out.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then Sunset Strip, I go to. Oh, yeah. My mind has been enabled. Like, what do you do for fun? What do you spend the money on?

[B]

Not really anything. That's the whole point.

[A]

So what's the point of money?

[B]

Like, what do you. But that's why I'm saying it's like, you can't go and like, quote, unquote, purchase me to change my attitude on anything. Cause like, a while ago I actually said this on camera and, like, it got misconstrued and people were like, yelling at me where I said something along the lines of, like, I have enough money for the essentials, which I've elevated for sure. Like, it's the literature for the brand.

[A]

Essentials for that one.

[B]

No, not the brand essentials. No. Like, I have enough money that I can take care of my family. Right. I give back a lot to charities and stuff like that and do fundraisers and beyond that. Like, I, like, I'm super comfortable. It's not like my lifestyle has. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, my lifestyle hasn't changed. Like, I was broke and I was fucking eight hours a day streaming, and now I'm rich and I'm eight hours a day streaming. Like, none of that changed. The only thing that changed is, like, I now have to fly to New York if I want to and also have the same exact setup in New York that I could carry with me and then stream in New York. That's the only difference.

[A]

You're like, you could bring your computer to New York. Yeah, that's your flex.

[B]

That's my.

[A]

Why don't you get a Porsche 911?

[B]

I got a poor. I bought a Porsche.

[A]

Okay, so let's get. Let's go to the people that are in the chat that are consuming it. Like, you've been doing Twitch since what, 2018?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So has the chat full time since 20. So the chat as an entity.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Has the chat changed?

[B]

It just Grew. Like, when I first started, I had, like, 30 people watching.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then. Yeah, all of them were beating off. Right. And then it grew 300 to a thousand. You know what I mean? And then 2020 is when I went full time.

[A]

But it also had to have changed because they're in middle school now, right?

[B]

Ye. A lot of people did grow up alongside, like, my content, for sure. Like, there are a lot of people that have been watching since 2020, and in 2020, they were like, you know, 16, 17, 18. And now four years later, they're in their 20s all the way to, like, late 20s.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So it is that. That part definitely does change as well. For sure. Like, my audience ages with me.

[A]

I would imagine they're alone. I mean, a lot of these guys are too, you know? And sometimes I do think, like.

[B]

I think some people just, like, throw it on as background noise. Some people just have it on as. As, like, as a way to keep themselves informed.

[A]

He's an anarchist?

Ari said a lot of things to Lloyd in that show.

Okay, let's see.

[A]

This one you got killed on.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that's another.

[B]

So that is another fucking, like, merch thing that they sent me, and I was wearing it, and that lady. That lady, literally, that lady was like, can I have that? Like, can I have that sweater?

[A]

I hope you gave it to her.

[B]

[A]

I'm calling the police.

Thank you. All right, and now back to the show.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So what do you think, Hasan? Let's go back to politics. What do you think? Who are you going for in Ukraine? What side are you on on that?

[B]

I'm. I'm on. I'm on nobody's side. I mean, I think. I think Vladimir Putin's bad and what he did was wrong.

[A]

You think Ukraine guys are, like, pissed at Gaza?

[B]

I would be.

[A]

They're like, damn. They're. They're clout sharp.

[B]

Yeah. They're in a weird predicament because, like, Zelensky is like, super pro Israel.

[A]

Jon Stewart. He's the Jon Stewart of Ukraine.

[B]

That's true. He was. He used to be. Yeah. But he's like. He's like, has to be super pro Israel because, like, he's pro NATO. He's pro American State Department. Right. And that's what the American State Department is signaling, that they're like, super pro Israel. Meanwhile, in the early stages when Russia was invading Ukraine, Zelenskyy was like, hey, can we get the Iron Dome? Like, that would be nice. They're fucking shelling us, like, non stop. And Benjamin Netanyahu was like, fuck, no, he stopped it.

[A]

You know all this stuff.

[B]

Yeah, it's our fucking. It's our tech as Americans. Like, it's our tech to give to Ukraine. And Benjamin Netanyahu was like, nope.

[A]

You know how I feel about Ukraine versus Russia. How. Sounds about white dude. Not my problem.

[B]

That's dead.

[A]

That is not my problem. So you ever done, like, celebrity fighting?

[B]

I think it's silly.

[A]

Why you just. You hit. You. You could hit, like, I don't know. Can you admit at this point that when Sam Hyde did that video, that it was very funny? No, I'm friends with you.

[B]

I.

[A]

That was very funny.

[B]

I always, like, I had no idea who the fuck this dude was at all. That's he was doing at the time. I didn't know who this guy was. Right. And I'm like, why is this ugly freak, like, yelling about me all the time? Like, I. I just didn't even know.

[A]

You should have hit me up and I would have crafted your. Your response. You got to do, like a. Your own character. Do, like an iron chic or something.

[B]

The reason why I didn't, like, fuck.

[A]

Do you somehow. Somehow do you.

[B]

Yeah, the reason why I didn't do that.

[A]

That's a dub, bro.

[B]

Is because I. I don't fuck with those guys.

[A]

I'm not saying you have to go to the celebrity boxing event with KSI and, like, what.

[B]

I mean, that's what he was doing, he was on. I think he was literally on the KSI boxing event.

[A]

So you. I'm not saying you have to do that, but I'm saying, like, if you're, like, if you. If you're responding in earnest, that's. That. That's an elf. Just for the Internet.

[B]

But I didn't respond.

[A]

Either you don't say anything or you do the iron Chic style character.

[B]

That's why I did.

[A]

You're like, bernie Sanders will fuck your ass. Like, and my assistant, aoc, the beautiful elt. You know, you could have, like, we could have written this out. We. It could have been great.

[B]

Well, the reason why I did not respond is literally because I was like, I don't want to fucking be associated with this dude at all. Let's go back to Israel, Palestine.

[A]

No, I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about, like, you have to comment on. On the world. And it's kind of just like the news. I mean, it's. It's. It's kind of. At a certain point, it's like kind of just stinks. Yeah, the news stinks.

[B]

The way I see it is if I get. If I'm gonna be serious. The way I see it is if I get, like, I don't know, a hundred people to join a union or Hamas.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which is kind of like a union. If I get 100 people to join a union. If I. If I get a hundred people join a union. If I get a hundred people to, like, engage in local organizing or to even, like, run for local office or. You know, we saw this with the student protests at all the campuses. Like, I went to the UCLA encampment and everybody, like, so many people came up and were like, dude, you know, I can't believe you're here. Like, you played a big role. There were organizers that were basically putting the entire encampment together. They were saying, like, you got me started on this journey. Like, I joined SJP because of you. And to me, that's justice in Palestine.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So for me, that's like.

[A]

That's a Parker. I thought.

[B]

Yeah, Sarah Jessica Parker. That's what he was saying.

[A]

I joined Sarah Jessica.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, keep going. Sorry.

[B]

But. But like. But that is the. That is the overall reason. Like, there's a lot of ups.

[A]

You're saying if I could change one.

[B]

Life, I mean, if I can get more people to pay attention to this sort of stuff and to make a big fuss about it, hopefully I think there will be a Snowball effect. And it will get others motivated, and it'll give courage to others to also go out and speak out on these injustices. Can I pee? Am I allowed? What? In your mouth.

[A]

How long have we done?

[B]

I'm gonna keep going. I just need to pee real quick. I've been holding it and I've been fidgeting a lot.

[A]

All right, go Keep the mic on, though.

[B]

I will keep the mic on.

[A]

I want to hear.

[B]

Where's the bathroom? Good question.

[A]

Where is it? Left and left. You could just. No, Hassan, it's to take the key. Just. Just shoulder.

[B]

Okay, I'll shoulder it.

[A]

I mean it, dude.

[B]

I'll keep the key and shoulder.

[A]

It's the door.

[B]

Where is it? All the way to the left.

[A]

Left and left.

[B]

[A]

No. Can you please call Mr. Beast?

[B]

No, I refuse.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Because I don't know what the fuck he's up to.

[A]

Okay, Take your phone, take a pic, and just text it to him. If you're not gonna call him, just take a pic of me.

[B]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna take a pic of you. I'm gonna text it to him.

[A]

Do you have him saved as Mr. First Name Beast? Last name?

[B]

Who do I have him saved as? Let's see. I have him as Jimmy. Mr. Beast. Donaldson.

He's gonna be the president. Can I see the pic? You sent it.

So, Hasan, you want to ask me a question?

[B]

I do, but I don't. You're not gonna just ask me?

[A]

No. Why?

[B]

I'm not asking.

[A]

Why are you being all shy like that?

[B]

Well, it's not shy. It's just like. I don't know if you'll cut it.

[A]

Okay, ask the question.

[B]

Okay. What's the deal with the Red Scare Girls?

[A]

All right, Hasan, Piker, everyone.
