Mamdani Wins, NYC’s Muslim Makeover, & Trump's New War

The transcript blends promotional content with a satirical political podcast that critiques current U.S. governance, particularly focusing on New York City’s new mayor, Zoran. It highlights how progressive policies—like free buses, rent freezes, and government-owned supermarkets—are not only practical but symbolic acts of resistance against political elites and MAGA ideology. The discussion emphasizes that younger, immigrant, and marginalized communities are driven by identity and affordability, not just economic need. Platforms like Shopify, Experian, and PrizePix serve as promotional anchors, tying personal finance and lifestyle choices to broader political themes. The podcast uses humor and exaggerated storytelling to explore deeper issues of power, representation, and public trust, questioning whether politicians can truly deliver on promises without alienating their base. It also critiques political polarization, noting how both left and right use fear and identity to mobilize support. The tone is irreverent and self-aware, blending satire with genuine commentary on how public sentiment shifts in response to perceived injustice. Ultimately, the segment argues that the current political moment reflects a desire for balance, transparency, and meaningful change—especially in times of economic strain and social upheaval. However, it remains skeptical about whether such promises will translate into real outcomes, as many policies are seen as performative rather than transformative.

We're getting communists elected. Whoever the fuck we want. Tell that to Curtis Sleewell, who's ducking us. Andrew Yang, remember that? Andrew Yang, we want to give all y'all $1,000. We want you to get your money. But then what happened? He got scared. Now he's selling bubble tea in the East Village. That's what happened. You're on a little book tour. What the fuck is she doing right now? He could have been president. Could have been president of the United States of America. Okay, now we got some African guy. Yes. Running the greatest city in the world. Yes. So that's the second time that's happened. All right, guys. So what's the deal? Should we charge more for ads? Like, what's really going on? When you have this much power, when you really have this much. Because we want all the credit. If we got all the credit for getting Trump elected. You better keep that same energy. We want all the credit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't start slicing thin now. Don't slice it thin now. It was up 90% or whatever. No, we don't want to hear that. Unless there's like a stabbing or something under Zora, in which case we had nothing to do with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless things go sideways, in which case, yeah. Us stabbing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Us stabbing? You got to give us more than a us stabbing. Well, we got to see what happens. We got to see it, and then we'll see. Well, actually, you know what? To slice even thinner, we want the left to give us all the credit because they're very happy right now. Yes, yeah, yeah. So give us all the credit because you scapegoated us for Trump, but we want all the credit. But then the right, when you're upset, that's not on us. We didn't have anything to do with it. We gave you Trump. Be happy. Exactly. We gave you both gifts. Yeah. We're very benevolent. We might be the most benevolent podcast on the planet. We truly are. We're so honest. Give a little bit to everyone. Yo, who are we, though? Who are we really? What are we? Are we officially not Manosphere because we got the communists elected? I think we're out, dude. I think we're all out. I think we're out. I bought a shot collar for my dog yesterday. That's what I left in my head. Son, every time my dog barks, barks at the fucking door. You know what bothers me about the dog barking when someone's coming up? Is I know he's not going to actually do shit. It's a she. It's a girl dog. It's a girl dog. Fuck. It's a girl dog. Fuck, I keep forgetting that, bro. I really keep forgetting that. I think I might have- Stop transing your dog, you communists. You got something left wing, you're changing your dog's gender. I'm super left. That's great. I am. But I'm going to zap it, though. I'm going to zap that fucking dog up. I am going to zap it. But just for barking or jumping on people. Not for sitting in the wrong corner. I'm a pothead. Spot trader. Spot trader. Spot trader. We're just joking, Asan. You did it. You got him elected. You helped us a little. Barely did anything. We single-handedly changed the world, man. You're welcoming everyone, dude. Now, buses are free. Rent is free. Buses are free. Rent is free. Food is free. Prostitutes are free. Yes. Shout out Ayatollah Khaman. Can't wait. Zorani. Zorani. We fucking did it. We fucking did it. How are you guys feeling now? How are you guys handling? How are you guys handling it? I'm rooting for everybody brown, dude. Yeah. I'm happy. I'm a thousand dollars richer. Who am I not rooting for? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm telling you, buddy. I texted Zoran, good luck, the day of the election. I said, good luck, dog. It'll be great. You root for everybody brown. I'm a great guy. You do. Everyone brown. Everyone brown. Well, now. Wait, everyone brown? That's what he said. That's what he said. Except if they have anything to do with anything you care about. I care about politics. That is fuck knows what, suckers. No, no, no. Just don't have a white wife. You know what I mean? Do you lose brown points if you got a white wife? Automatically. You just said it. Say it again. I said that? Yeah. 100%. Look at the math right there. Hey, man, ain't nothing wrong with going with the white, dude. Yeah. I like the white. Oh, life is easier, but it ain't worth it. It ain't that easy. The struggle's what makes it. Hey, I said ER. I said ER. Okay? I'm just saying it ain't that easy. Every time I have a friend who starts dating an Indian girl after I've met him and then he thinks, like, whatever, I'm always like, they're crazy. And they go, every girl is crazy. And then three months later, they come to me and they're like, I did not know you could fight about this kind of shit. Really? It's the only possible fight. Like, yeah, every time. Every time. But this is what you're trying to lace Miles up with. You're trying to get Miles with a brown girl. But Miles would do well with that. Yeah. Why? He's patient. Miles would do well with a nice South Indian, you know what I mean? Just fucking Mississippi masala looking ass girl. Also, it should be better for you. That's Zoran's mom that made that movie, by the way. Shouts! Yeah, that's true. It should be better for y'all. It should be a lot now. Yeah. Fact. Hey, I told my miss to shut up yesterday. As soon as Zoran wants to hang up. She was celebrating too loud. Get off TikTok, yo. It's too much now. Cover your fucking head. You want to wear some TikTok? Yeah. Cover your fucking head before you post any TikToks. When are we covering these girls up, man? That's a good point. Yeah. You should be able. You should be able to see a girl doing a TikTok on a sheet on the street and then wrap a fucking sheet over her. Yeah, a thousand percent. You should be able to do that in the new New York. Yes. Shouldn't you? We need religious players. If we have Sharia law. Yes. 100%. I already told Al during Brilliant Idiots he got to pay the jizya. The jizya tax? You got to pay the jizya too? I thought it was some shit, right? I thought it was some shit. I thought it was some jizya. We looked it up. It's real. Why not? I'm Muslim now, bro. No, no, no. I am Muslim. Non-Muslim tax? As-salamu alaykum. As-salamu alaykum, my boy. You call it a non-Muslim tax. I call it a going to heaven tax. Yo, that jizya. I was looking up that jizya. Okay. That is a great deal. I don't know why anybody was complaining in that throughout this time. Okay, tell me. Explain it to me. You got to pay like 2.5%. Mm-hmm. Okay? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. Hear me out, my boy. Just hear me out, my boy. There's a little coincidence. Like, Muzzies, they got to give 10% of their wealth to charity or whatever. Mm. Okay? Charity. Okay. But they don't have to pay that jizya 2.5%. You don't have to give 10% of your wealth to charity. Oh. You pay 2.5% and you don't even got to fight in the wars. You get to live in the Muzzy country. Wow. 2.5% tax, right? Light work. And you don't even got to defend yourself. They're going to defend you. That's awesome. Yeah. And you get to yell at your wife. Everyone wins, bro. This is why I think that the other religions don't last in Muslim countries, because they're jealous. Oh, they just switch up. So these motherfuckers don't got to die. Okay. They only got to pay the jizya. So we're coughing up 10%. These Muslim countries are like, we need shit to be more affordable. It's Zoran's policies. Isn't that crazy? It's jizya taxes 2%. How much is Zoran taxing millionaires? 2%. He just hit us with the jizya. Sonny, hit us with the jizya. He hit us with the jizya. Oh, that's fine. That's happening. It's getting on. The tequila. This is the first step to tequila. Tequila? Yeah. The tequila's fire. I just had some tequilas at 7-Eleven. Tequitos. What's tequila? What's that? Tequila, man. What's that? That's how the Muslims sneak in Islam. With an openly Muslim cop. That's right in the city. They sneaking it in. Real sneaky. They're allowed to lie in order to convert people or some shit like that. To save their lives. Why would you say that about Muslims, dog? What a crazy thing to say about Muslims. You're a fucking cannibal, dude. You're a cannibal. That's the opposite. You're a cannibal. You're a cannibal, yeah. You're a fucking cannibal. No, that's true. I'm a commie. Nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm a commie. Nah, bro. I'm on board, man. Join the team, guys. Yeah, I was way too happy about Zoran, bro. You're happy? Hey, you seen the WTF fucking time change policy? Refund policy? This motherfucker capitalist as it gets, boy. You ain't getting your money back from WTF. Wait, what's the. What's the time change policy? I don't know. What is it? Hey, you try to change your time. Hey, can I record an hour later? Yeah, I just got to charge you for that hour. What happens, socialist? Wait a minute. Yeah, because my worker's there already. Can I just ask you a serious question? Do you guys have a lateness issue with deserts? Yeah, whenever Indians book. So there is a little bit of a lateness issue at the studio. Yes, from certain clients. From certain clients. Yes. - Oh really? - You putting that all on us? - Sir Clyde. All of the Zoran descent. Ugandan. Some Zoes? Some Zoes. Oh, yeah, African-Americans. That's who you're talking about when you talk about Zoran. That made them do. All right, so do you think people stop pretending to give a fuck about New York now? Is this the new Riyadh Comedy Festival where, like, everybody's talking about it and now two weeks from now nobody will care who the mayor of New York is? Or do you think that they're just going to go nonstop? They're going to go nonstop. Every bad thing has to happen. It's just the same thing that it's so funny watching them complain just like the left complained about Trump. I actually, I think I was telling y'all this. I like, we need, you can't just have one party in power. Yeah. You need, because, like, when it was only Republicans in power, it's like, the Dems can be so whiny because they're not responsible for anything. They just get to point the finger and whine. Yes. When at least, like, the Dems run Congress and nothing happens, they point the finger at the president, but then they're also responsible for nothing happening, so the president You want an even game. You want an even game of whining. Yeah, exactly. Right, because they're all full of shit, but when you have no power at all, you just get to point the finger. So it's nice that there is, like, super lefty that is running New York, which is really just the only other real position of government. There's president and there's mayor of New York. No, if you are in government in any other capacity, you are a feckless You can say that now. You can say that. Oh, yeah, you could. So your position means nothing. And you need a podcast to get both of them elected. So you need, honestly, you need both. I hate how powerful we are. It's a burden. It's a burden. I hate it. I hate it. I hate how important we are. Yeah, I really hate it. I'm so tired of it. But it's a responsibility we have to take on, bro. We have to put balance in the universe. Son, what did Uncle Ben say? With great power comes greater responsibility. Also, put the rice in the microwave. 90 seconds. I was like, what the fuck? Yo, shout out both Uncle Ben's, man. Can we get Uncle Ben back? Fantastic. How do we do that? How do we get him back? Which Uncle Ben? The black one. They took him off the rice. Hey, Zoran, bro. He's coming. He's going to be coming wearing one of the, what do you call that? What's Miles wearing? The koofy. The koofy. Miles has on racist garb. We were telling him before the pod, we're like, yo, whatever you do, don't wear that. If you don't wear that, the fucking muzzies are going to be upset. You guys had to talk me out. I had a full, I had the burka. You guys had to talk me out of that. No, Miles was like, listen, they have a great sense of humor. They've come to the West so they can embrace Western values, okay? And they would never get upset at us making fun of their garb because they understand the place that they came to for salvation. And then what did we say? And we were like, dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba. Nah, Ben Miles was like, nah, they got to go home then. Go home. Miles said, yo, if you can't take these jokes, you got to go home. Yes. And then we'll get paid crazy amounts of money to go there. See, that's a good point. If they all come here, the worst thing is where are we going to go perform? That's a great point that you're making. Click your heels twice for that. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, this is what's happening in Zo's world. Put Miles in a burka right now, dude. If only we had one in the studio. Dude, if we had a fucking burka, we could just put Miles in that shit. Is that offensive? No. Fuck is offensive about a little burka? I don't know. I think we should throw you in a little burkini and let your nipples pop out. I want to see some hard nips in that little burkini. I don't like that. He's trying to be cute with the koofy eye. Hey, hey, hey. Put your hair up. I don't think you're allowed to have your hair out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, bro. There you go. There it is. I look like Chiaotzu. That's a deep cut reference. What? Dragon Ball Z, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does he look like that? Yeah, he does. He really does. Pull it up in three to five hours. Amazon Prime. There you go, Joey. Joey did it. That doesn't make sense. There you go, Joey. That shit looked great. That was racist in reverse. Do a white face, bro. What the fuck? Doesn't it look like a. Don't pull up Mr. Popo. Oh, yeah, Mr. Popo. That was crazy. Crazy, yeah. That's a little bit crazy. How does Chiaotzu die? I think he blows himself up. I don't know. I don't think he blows himself up. I legitimately think his superpower is that he blows himself up. He does. I'm almost certain that's his most powerful. There's no way. He does. His superpower is he blows himself up. That is a superpower, though. Al, why don't you Why are you dressed like me? What's going on here? Damn. Wow. Wow. Wow. I thought that would be racist for both of us. You thought it was real. That's why you're racist. You thought that's really how I dress. Nah, nah. You're not wiggling out of this one, bro. I wiggle. I flipped it. And you wish it was that skinny. See how much more fun it is when the Dems have some power? Yes, bro. And shit is naughty again. We need shit to be naughty. You don't realize how valuable the Dems are They make shit naughty and being naughty is fun. Yeah. Republicans want nothing to be naughty. That's boring. No, no, no. Because in the 80s, that's why all these comics were like anti-religious because the Republicans back then hated any religion talk. True. So that was how you would be naughty as a comic in the 80s. Damn, bro. You're right about that. No, no, no. You are right about that. That is crazy. What's so crazy about it? Did I sing shit? Yeah. And I saved a little for later? Turned into an F-sharp. I'm 42. I'm 42 years old. You made it an F-sharp, bro. I'm not crazy. That was just super power. Yeah, I just did a reverse po-po. What was the guy's name? A poo-poo. A poo-poo. I just did a chew-suey. I just chew-sueyed you out of this mess. Nothing you could do about it. That was crazy. You got pink eye. That's why your eyes are purple right now. I threw pink eye in your left eye. Damn, that was crazy. I've known him so long I didn't even flinch. I wasn't even reacting. He knows. He knows. Because there was going to be no sound and he had to make it go higher. We're Muslims now. That right there is okay. That's a sign of gratitude. Really? That's halal. That is halal. That right there was halal. It smells like halal, bro. That was fucking wild. All right. That was fucked up, Mark. I don't like it. I don't like that you try to say they smell, bro. No, you were eating halal. They literally washed their hands and feet five times a day. And a bidet. And they got the hell of a bidet. And they got the bidet. How could they smell? I agree. Cleanest browns, probably. But a little bit of white sauce goes a long way. Oh, my God. Stop. How about that? Put that in your keffiyeh and smoke it. Okay? Why don't you take that? Okay? This is New York. New York is back. New York is back, I thought. I love it. As much as you didn't want it. Oh, God. You're the only brown guy selling out shows everywhere. No, you're right. I was, bro. But, nah. There's gonna be more than one brown here, bro. Yeah. There's more than one brown in this town. Zoran's moving tickets, dude. He's moving tickets. Moving tickets. Turn the volume up. Yeah. Turn that volume up. You like that speech? Turn that volume up. He had some bangers, dude. He did. You listen to it, though. You go, what exactly? There. Peace.

He's like, cause Charlemagne calls shit out and it's just the most hilarious. He's like, yo, when anybody, when everybody is, when someone is likable, whatever they do is like, it's just the most fly shit. And he's like, yo, if Kamala the night before the election was like at a gay bar in Brooklyn, people like, what the fuck is this bitch doing? That's a good point. Be out there on the road.

Yes, yes, yes. No, no, he ran a fantastic campaign. I'm just saying, when you do, whatever you do is the hot shit. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being young goes a long way too though. Remember when Hillary went to the bar and she was like pouring up beers and shit and everyone was like, what the fuck are you doing? She tried to make a Pokemon Go thing. Take your tits out and slap them together in a fucking science experiment. Exactly. That would go a long way. That's what we want to see. That would go farther. We want to see a little C.L.S.C. world with your tits. Is it that hard to ask? You've been Secretary of State. I haven't seen your tits slapped together like a steel t-shirt, world. Okay? You run the Clinton Foundation. $50 million a year in donations, but I haven't seen. I heard, I heard, I heard, I heard. Okay? The voice cried. Is it that much to ask? As an American, as a citizen of the United States of America, someone who was born here? I've got to look at your tits in a pantsuit, not slap it back, I swear to God. It sounded like he's crying right now. How do we even call this a country anymore? How do we even call it a country? Who would call it a country? Of course we don't got no borders. Of course there's no fucking borders. I put it right on the wall. Myself, like, humpity-dumpity. Just sitting on that wall. You know what she would be doing? What would she be doing? I'll do it. What would she be doing, Al? I heard, I heard, I heard. Why would she be telling the Mexicans to go the fuck back? Why would she be doing that disgusting act? That would scare them. That was hideous. Why the hell would she be doing that? If she was out there doing that, there'd be a line of 40 million Mexicans thinking it was an horchata parade. That's a rom, bro. That's a rom. America is finally back. It really is, dude. It feels back. Vibes are up. It was. We got too much right, and there wasn't enough fun. You need, like, the hall monitors. Yeah. That's the Dems are the hall monitors. And it's no fun in the hallway without a monitor somewhere. So we need them to have a little power. And, you know, being mayor of New York is the only other position of government that matters. What is everybody else? What do you call them? Feckless. People. Yeah, I remember that. Feckless people. Feckless people. But do they do. Does Ted Cruz. Does Ted Cruz do anything? It goes to Mexico. It goes on vacations. Takes a nice little vacation every now and again. No, he doesn't do much. What about Gavin Newsom? Nothing. What does Gavin Newsom want? Sponsors on his podcast? Besides being president? Yeah. Does he ask him for sponsors? I mean, he's been running the pod. He probably wants a little bit of. I got nobody elected. He wants some views. So I knew it was crazy. Maybe a little blue chew. Yo, the governor of California does a podcast. We got more political power than him. Ain't that crazy? It is crazy. I mean, look at us, dude. Right? It is crazy. I don't like the amount of power. Yeah. I wake up in the morning and I feel uncomfortable. That's one thing I know about Schultz. He don't like power. I don't like it. I don't want to put my sword on someone's shoulders and then ignite them immediately. Yeah. I know. I know. Do you want to do that? No, I don't. Oh, God. I don't want to do that. What do we do? How do we get rid of this power? I think we have to relinquish it. Oh, okay. From this day forth. All right. I think we have to say we're not getting any more people elected. I think that's a great stance. Stamped. That's the stamp. That means this decision is final. That's the gavel. Straight for that. No, I'm just kidding. We're going to fuck up elections forever. Yes. We're going to fuck up elections as long as there's elections. Yeah. Mm-hmm. What do you guys think will actually happen, though, in all seriousness? Nothing. Really? I pay a lot of money. You pay a little bit more in taxes. Maybe we get free buses. Do you think he'll even be able to raise the taxes? I don't know. I think so. But, dude, 1% is not, like, what do we, or 2%. It's, what, $40,000 for every million you make? That's a chance that's worth taking to not be the exact same. There you go. Al's corporate in Puerto Rico, bro. He's not. That was a nervous laugh. He's a little bit away from there, Florida, but, you know, who's counting? I just got to check on him. Go check on Alex, man. I'm sick of paying all my taxes. Headquarters in Florida, bro. Go check on Alex. Don't do that. No, like, what do you think he'll be able to do? I think that's the big question. And we asked him that on the pod, but, like, what do you think he'll be able to actually get done? And what will. If he can cut government waste, I'm happy. If he can get some of these consultants out of there. Which he might have the power to do. How much did he say it costs to design those trash cans? Which, by the way, they look pretty good. But he said it's like $20 million or something just to design it? You save us that $20 million, I'm good. I'm happy. Yeah, I think Trump goes to war with him. So. I think National Guard. We will fuck the White House up, dog. It's in New York City. We're storming it? Yo, we might need to storm it, dude. All right, all right. So here's the question. Don't you think that it would be smarter for Trump for him to not go to war at all? Yep. Like, I think that Trump should just, like, keep giving whatever funding he's already given. Because if he doesn't go to war at all. If he goes to war, then he's created a boogeyman for Mamdani's supporters. Yep. So if Mamdani. We couldn't get anything done. Trump got in the way. Exactly. If Trump doesn't get in the way at all, and things don't go well, then Trump just goes and goes, hey, I gave you a fair shot. They didn't go well. Like, will you change your policies? Like, don't put your ego in this at all. Like, if you actually care about the people, why don't you do something that will help them? That's not working. That's not working out. Mm-hmm. But that's not Trump, though. Yeah, that's not Trump. That's not Tito. Oh, I know. I know. I'm just saying, like, the thing that would be the most beneficial. Yeah. And then if things actually work out for New York City, Trump just gets to go, I love New York, and it's an important city, and I wanted the people of New York to have the best chance. Again, I didn't want politics to get in the way. I hate how politicians get in the way. That would be fire. Like, you know. I mean, you could win-win if you're Trump in this situation. That's zero chance. That's a chance that happens. I think because- I'll put a thousand-dollar bet that doesn't happen. Come on, Trump. He wants all the credit for everything. Yeah. And you know he's going to try to make New York's life miserable. Yeah. Yeah. Because they need a boogeyman, too. Who is they? The right. The right. The right. They're melting down. And so now, this is- $20,000 for every million you make. That's going to break you, dog. That's going to break you. How are you going to survive? Oh, watch this thing fall apart. It's the exact- Remember how sad New York was after Trump won in 2016? Do you remember? I don't know, man. We was popping that. This shit was crazy. No, no. No, but once I left your house- Once you left the party, no. You got so sad. And that's how the left is acting now. There were people sad. That shit was kind of funny. It was only because of the arrogance that they had going into it. It was funny, dude. You had to book the Javits Center with the glass ceiling because we're going to break through it. Hillary, you fucking loser. I know, man. Unbelievable, dude. And then just watching them fucking go home was unbelievable. That was a fun party to go to, though. That would have been kind of fun. To DJ that party would be awesome. Oh, my God. Just Mad World nonstop. It would be fucking unreal. But yeah, the right is doing the same thing now. Yeah. And they're acting like they're so different. Oh, this country's going to- This city's going to slide in. A bunch of people who don't live here texting me. Yeah. They're obsessed, bro. Your city's going to- What is it? You're going to fall apart. I think he'll get the buses done and the rent freeze. What makes you think he'll get the buses done? Because it's not that costly and they've already figured out ways to- Get the funding for that one. Interesting. That doesn't involve raising taxes. If he does that- So that's like the first thing he's going to be able to- He's done it. Everybody's happy. Yeah. Am I saying that will make him the best mayor? I don't think so. I think his base will be happy enough if he does that. So the question is, does his base- The question is, does his base actually want these things and need these things to survive or these things somewhat performative and acts of rebellion against the status quo? I think more the former than the latter. Okay. So if they need them to survive, then like there's- I've seen like the Zoran supporters, right? Like most of these people I would imagine are like people who have moved to New York City. They're coming here to try to achieve their dreams in a lot of ways, kind of like you guys, right? And it's like coming here to achieve their dreams. They're not only in creative fields, but they can be in other fields and maybe things haven't worked out for them just yet. And they're looking for a little bit of an extension on the time that they can go after it, right? They have $200,000 worth of student loans. They got all this other stuff that's like really getting in the way of them potentially achieving these dreams. And so I don't think being able to take the bus for free is going to change their life. No. So that's why I don't think that the bus thing- I actually think the buses helps like real New Yorkers who are poor people who are living like check to check and government assistance. Like that helps actual poor people. But like the 20 to 29 or the 20 to 34 year olds that are like- They're like pseudo creative directors and these types of like kind of pseudo artist people. They don't ride the bus like that. Yeah. But he needed to do something to hit each group. So the buses are for the poor people, the rent freeze and the, I think even the supermarkets are going to be for middle class. Because imagine if I can have my choice of a Trader Joe's or a government run supermarket, they sell the same eggs, but these eggs are $4 cheaper, I'm going to go there. Yeah. And then there's going to be a line around the block. I think also if you- Yeah. Everybody has to drop their prices in order to compete. Yeah. I think we're in a place where the expectation for politicians or the hope for a politician is not even that you help us anymore. It's just stop helping only the rich people. Yeah. I think that's a great way to- And I think if I'm a guy who looks at people who are struggling, I'm like, you know what? They got free buses, even if I don't need them. That's, oh my God, somebody finally fucking did that for those- I think it's kind of symbolic. They're just like, who's going to piss off Trump the most? I think that's part of it. - Can you speak on that a little bit? - I feel like there's a sentiment of like, okay, Trump, There's people in New York that are like, Trump is a dictator. He's going to take over the country, da-da-da. Who can we elect that's going to actively aggravate that? And Zoran's made it very clear. I'm going to go against it. Cuomo gets endorsed by him. It's like, oh, he's not going to do it. And Sliwa, people don't know, he's still battling the mob. So no one knows exactly what's happening. But they're like, this guy is going to just make his life hell. And symbolically, he represents everything that MAGA hates. I think there's a lot of people that are like, yeah, the buses are cool, da-da-da. It feels like it's symbolically helping the poor working class. But more so, it's like, fuck Trump. I think that this is a component that is not spoken about enough. I think New York has always been unaffordable. And that's one of the things about New York. Like, New York didn't become too expensive this year or the year before. Like, we've always talked about how expensive New York is. Maybe it's become disproportionately so over the last six years, right? Like, we talked to Zoran about that. It's like, I think two bedrooms are up 90% in six years, something crazy. But I do think that there is, to what you're talking about, like, let's say, let's call it like the identity politics bubble. That was, like, really just mushed into the grounds by MAGA, right? Like, the MAGA victory in, like, every single swing state and, like, the absolute dominance in the election was this message like, yo, the pronouns are gone. You're not doing any of that shit. It's kind of dead, right? And I think those people have been incredibly upset, angry, and aggravated. And they like standing for someone who seems like they're going to have their back. And what's very interesting is that Mamdani didn't even really talk about identity politics on the issue. He kind of, like, really ran a Bernie campaign. Like, Bernie don't give a fuck about if you're gay or not. He said as much on the pod. He goes, who cares if you're gay? You're a good person or not. But Zoran already checks off multiple of the identity politics. Immigrant, brown, African, Muslim, right? Like, so he's already part of the community and his politics reflect the community. So it's a very interesting, like, simply by subscribing to him, you are rejecting MAGA. Mm-hmm. You know, like, and I think that that's not talked about enough. I think people made it just about affordability. But there's a lot of people, like, the people kind of queening out about it. Yeah. Like, I never met a broke gay guy. I don't. I never met one. I don't even think they exist. I really don't know. They're not spending money trying to get pussy. Here's what I would say to that, I think. You know, so just, like, so I really feel, just to butt it up, like, I really do feel like he was able to galvanize that community as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As well as what I would say. As well. It's not only, yeah. 2008 to 2016, conservatives got fucking mushed into the ground. PC politics went up, went up, went up. Yes, yes, yeah. And part of Trump's appeal was the absolute rejection of that. Yeah. And it will piss off these left-wing people who are telling us we can't say XYZ. So that exists. Who are making fun of us for being dumb every single night on TV. Oh, yeah, you don't get it. And then Trump starts to make fun of them, and it's like, ooh, that revenge feels great. Yeah, it feels nice. Who cares about that other stuff? That is a factor. I think overall it was, like you said, the past six years prices have gone up. A box of cereal by my house is $10. Yeah, there's no question the prices are absurd, and he tapped into that. And this is what, again, I said this before, what people don't understand is your entire policy cannot be that guy bad. Cuomo offered nothing, a single person, people I know who were dying for Cuomo to win, can't name a single policy of his. Yeah. They don't know anything. Yeah. Zoran, even if they're not, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. It's unachievable. Okay, rent freeze, grocery stores, government-owned grocery stores, free buses. We know something. This is the same thing that happened with Trump when they ran Hillary against him and when they ran Cuomo against him. Your entire campaign was that guy's bad. Yeah. It just won't work. And that's why I think people are going to realize. They're like, I'm not doing, this guy's bad. And that's why I kind of push back on Mark's, because I don't think a lot of the people who voted really care to vote in somebody who's going to battle Trump. They just wanted to vote for somebody who's looking out for them. And I think a lot of the middlemen, middle, like Trump gained ground here in New York because he was speaking to, hey, I'm going to lower costs to food and all this type of shit. So he just spoke to those same people. And he was like, yo, we've seen Trump. It's been a year so far. He hasn't done anything to bring things in that direction. I'm going to just try on this other guy. And to add to that point, that Israel moment was like a watershed moment for Zoran. Because he was like, no, I'm worried about people here. And we were like, oh, look at that. He's worried about us. Yeah. That's cool. Because this is the biggest voter turnout since like the 1960s or something like that. Like he got a lot of people out of the house. I guess I'm talking about the symbolic part from like the Bushwick white girl that's like a creative director whose like dad works at some big company. And she moved here four years ago. She's not affected by the price of rent because her dad pays it. Her rent is always frozen. She loves cosplaying. But yeah, but yet she is like really impassioned about this. So like understanding why I think is important. I think Mark tapped into it 100%. Yeah. I think it's like, yeah, we get to help the poor people, whatever, but it's like. Which is part of her identity also. Yeah, exactly. As well. I think as well as we, it's part of it. They got her in college. They Mark sister up in college. Yes, bro. She got liberalized. She got liberalized in college. Yeah. You know, came to New York. She's gay now. She's gay now. Couldn't make it. Is she single? Because it is interesting. It's like, I haven't seen a lot of like support for Zoran from like actual New Yorkers. I'm not saying that's not true. I'm not saying that to undercut him, but like what I mean by like an actual New Yorker is like somebody who was born here. The fuck you. Yeah, but you're like, you're performing. If you're, this is what we're saying. No, no. You want to be at the party. I was a Bernie, bro. I like AOC. What's an actual New Yorker for you, to you? Me. You grew up in a beach community. You grew up near the ocean. You're barely a New Yorker. New Yorkers are people who grew up in the boroughs, not Manhattan. There's only one city. Then. When he does that, he wins. I know, I know. It's only one New York city. This kind of, I don't think this is fully fair, but this is kind of what Andrew was saying. So what am I saying? How long, this is a poll. How long have you lived in New Yorker? Or how long have you lived in New York City? Less than five years, five to 10, 10 plus. And then I was born in New York City. The blue is how many people voted for Zoran, percentage wise, and the gray is Cuomo. So 45% of people born in New York City voted for Cuomo versus 34% born in New York City voted for Zoran. I also think some of that is just a lot of those people are probably older. If you're less than five years in New York City, 83% of them voted for Zoran. Here's what I would say. 10 plus years, but not born here? No, but this is a really important point. If you're here less than five years, you voted for Zoran. This is the exact thing I'm saying. There's no cost to this not working out to you because you'll go home. It's really not your home. This is a dream or a rite of passage. It's a beautiful thing. We want the whole world to come here. But I want you guys to come here. I want everybody who has a dream to come to New York. But if it doesn't work out, you'll go home. So this is a fun little experiment for you. Like, yeah, maybe the rent will freeze, blah, blah, blah. And if it doesn't work out and things do happen, which I don't think they will, by the way, but if it was to go horribly wrong, you would just move back to Dallas or you move back to Tennessee and move back to wherever the fuck you're from. That makes sense. I think you're right. We don't get to do that. So that's why I think you see a lot more New Yorker New Yorkers. Like, you know, New York is rough and that kind of shit, but, like, I'm not rolling the dice on whatever communists and whatever the fuck they say about him because I can't go nowhere else. Here's where I'll push back a little bit. What you say, sorry, I think five to ten years, you're pretty much here. Ten-plus years, you got roots here. You're probably not leaving. And both of those groups still voted heavily in favor. But you're not a New Yorker. I also think born and raised New Yorker. I will never say I'm a New Yorker, but I'm here, I'm not leaving as much as I keep saying. I'm going to. I haven't left yet. I'm dying to. You've got no roots to New York. My whole in-laws are here, idiots. Nah, you want to go to a Muslim country, bro? You're trying to go to London. You're trying to go to London immediately. Son, you know what keeps us here? My stupid nieces. They're all here. Nah, you're going to take them to London, bro. You're going to hijab them up. Their parents are idiots for raising them here. You're hijabbing the whole family. My nieces' stupid parents, I should say. I'll be honest, I'm very impressed. I was born in New York City, 34%. That's what I'm saying. That number's really good. The other thing is a lot of those people born in New York City are probably older, and older people just tend to be more conservative in general. So I think the 45% is some of that that you've got to account for. And name recognition. If you're born here, you've heard Cuomo your whole life. So some people just. Fart, fart. Yeah, that's a good point. So a lot of people just get in the shit, and they see a name they recognize, and boom. Yeah, and they're easier to scare with, oh my God, communism, socialism. I tried to squeeze it out. No, I think that's fair. I think what you said is fair about less than five years. Sure, that's a great point. And it probably still applies at five to 10. I think 10 plus for the most part, most of them aren't going anywhere. Most of them are here. Yeah, you might not be. And then I think born in New York City, 34% is not bad, and a lot of those people are probably older. That number is very impressive. He beat the shit out of the guy. If every Sliwa voter voted for Cuomo, he still loses. Really? Yeah. Where is Sliwa right now? Does he know it's over? Yeah. I feel like he's still out there. He's on the subway. No, but this is what he does every four years. His concession speech was a threat. He runs every four years. I'll vote for him next time. I'll run it for Sliwa. Did we talk about it? No, we talked about it. I'm a brilliant idiot. About how I don't think he really wanted to win. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk about it. You heard it, too? On Patreon, yeah. Oh, we did it on Patreon, yeah. Yeah, because he refused to come on Playground. There's only one way you win. Well, he asked. The team reached out, and then I was hitting up his. And again, this is all like, what is the word we use? Speculative? - Allegedly? - Allegedly, but it's not allegedly. you because i said it speculative yeah i'm i'm speculating on their decisions so this is not facts don't sue us but um i reached out trying to get them on and then the campaign director whoever it was i'm connected to is just just reading texas but not sending anything back this is the biggest platform new york city like why would you not want to go on a few weeks before yeah the election unless and this is how i would speculate i'd be like maybe he's like i'm not going to duck out of the election because i already said i won't go anywhere but what i will do is not do any big press before to not chip away anymore at cuomo i'll kind of like hide the last two weeks or someone got right to his campaign guy and said yo i'll give you x amount of money just don't say yes to any more big interviews before we want to see if we can do this because it to me there's makes zero sense if you reached out originally we're reaching out trying to get even you're reading the text and not even responding yeah that's crazy what could you possibly do like let's look at the media he did the last two weeks before the election there was a debate no it was even after sorry it was it was yeah it was right there was one more debate and then nothing else like yeah kind of a smart play though every every four years you run and then just get paid to bounce allegedly allegedly allegedly the whole family working for the campaign i got a lot of respect for curtis like yeah you know he put the work in on the people i don't think people maybe even understand his history but you know girls like the guardian angels like if you're a chick walking down the street you feel unsafe in the neighborhood they'll just walk you home like it was amazing so it's like an amazing contribution to the city for nothing yeah you know and like uh what are you laughing at schultz said it was impressive that he taught puerto rican's not to cackle like that is impressive to do he did he got him in he got but then they find out where you live when they retire yeah exactly so then when they stop being the guardian angels you know it is what it is five

forget i mean bro they're like bro he's gonna do this again from the inside that shit is come on that shit is fucked up how are we gonna let him do it again how are we gonna let him do it again the guy was 13 years old it's a mastermind of 9 11 at 13 years old bro this guy's truly a genius for us i want to say zoron's mom looked at the election results were just like you're only a mayor that's that's pretty funny it's a mayor at 34 and somebody said that's like that's brutal for all brown kids new york city's only 34 years old but he's not president he's not old enough yeah so what are you doing you know that's a good point oh you think trump tries to deport him yeah nah okay you can't deport him you've been here too long i don't like that like i hope he can't mind his business on that shit like don't get in his way let him try to do his things if the things don't work there you go you can campaign on that if you're trump yeah if the things ain't working it is what it is it's funny you said you can campaign like we're just assuming he's running again it's the third time why wouldn't he run look at the why wouldn't he run well i think because he's not allowed to nah you just have jd run as president trump runs as vice and then jd steps down jd seems like the type of guy who ain't gonna he'll pretend he's on board with that and then marry eric kirk and then yo that shit is foul too the internet is nasty it's wild bro it's nasty a wild place out there yeah you're trying to make usha christian all of a sudden that's my hot take that before jd runs usha converts to christian yeah like i said i don't know if you're gonna see that see that would you give it another look but that was kind of foul i've heard just like what on the bus like that no he wouldn't you said i hope she converts to christianity yeah well i mean of course he does bro what was that combo like when they got back in the car because he says that shit and then the next day he's like usha has no plans to convert to any other religion he said that like the next day like i'm pretty sure like his office put out a statement and i'm telling you how you think indian women's a game yeah this guy said fuck being president dude like i'm baby i know i just said it i didn't know i was just in the moment like i'll tell i'll tweet it i'm sorry i'm sorry so him trying to cap with this girl in the back of an suv is the funniest vice president united states of america getting bitched at by his wife like i know i know i fucked up it's so funny you saw that hug you're like yo why the fuck this bitch hand was in your hair it's an accident she's shorter than i don't know it's also their secret service so it's not like uber driver you're never gonna see again oh yeah oh dude i would love to get a secret service guy to just tell us all the tea on whoever president they bro do they sign an oath they sign an nda probably yeah they must must right some hippo shit you think trump should take over the knicks i feel like that's what he's saying with this he's saying he wants the knicks dude what is he saying right here don't forget who's daddy who daddy is new york don't forget who's daddy see this is what we need we need a little parody it's like the nfl it's like a salary cap yes yeah yes parody that's the problem like democrats like get your fucking shit together you losers we actually want you guys to be in power at least have some power so there can be like a fun little balance and then nothing really gets done but everybody eats that's this is a mad the american way it's true oh yeah no we coming who you got what's gonna happen aoc is gonna take shuma out of there i don't know dude what is it for what position i don't even know oh jeffries is gone oh okay i don't know when his uh when he when his re-election is but still like he's out of here right probably but he's he got some strong allies nick fuente's getting them out of the pain they're not playing games oh my god a little 7 000 here 7 000 there yo it is true or no you get paid a little seven grand or we should find out i ain't got no seven grand yeah let's look into it let's just see seven is kind of light that's light dog can we get people elected over here yeah that's a good point yeah but look i'm for sale but like he's got the number gotta be right yeah seven fingers come talk to me each thing good you say oh you can rack them up yeah or it's just per episode i think it's proposed is what they were saying so every time you post it's seven grand that's come on step it up yeah step it up they'd be tweeting a lot though yeah between a lot in one day all right what's couch he said who will be the next speaker at house right now they're saying hakeem jeffries ain't no way he's out of here bro that guy's that's charlamagne's fault charlamagne cooked him with the eight-pack shakur yeah yeah he's he is uh that's his fault you saw when he was hiding behind him when he was in a picture with uh bb but he's oh yeah oh really yeah so it's like a group of dems and republicans and he's just like hiding in the back no yeah oh that's hilarious yeah why does trump keep giving press conferences stepping out of the bathroom that's fire like why like he's like in a doorway every time i see a clip he's talking about on the plane he's just like popping out it's like all right because he loves chopping up like but why he loves chopping up we invaded nigeria anyway have a safe flight and just bounces yeah that's at a schultz's book yeah you ever see someone look down the hallway to the bathroom through the door yeah i saw his buddy come in to him and schultz was like yo talk to me bro he's standing outside the door of the bathroom i love this just leaning outside the door frame this is kind of where the best combos happen though you know you're trying to leave and you're like all right one more thing by the way grab the frame a little bit i mean it's just fire wait are they flying yeah they're flying press flies they're in the air wait the press is with them yeah come on air force one i didn't know that it's a quiet plane i mean that's y'all gotta watch west wing i didn't know they fly with them yeah yeah i didn't - A whole set of press flies to all the places as he goes people he chooses or just any old press secretary and a bunch of press yeah that's so funny and then they do pressers on the plane and then they ask questions like the press secretary will ask answer questions i feel like that that tells the balance of power a little bit they get itineraries of like what's going on that day in what way you ever been on someone's plane and they're talking to you like yeah whatever you i agree like if i'm on someone's plane i'll be like yeah whatever you say bro nigeria needs it is this the plane from the qatari's no they didn't they didn't fit that one just yet i think what is that one doing it's getting the world cup in 2042 probably oh really but does america decide that no i'm guessing i was throwing out some shit i mean that's i mean it's just fire giving press conference on your own planes guitar already had the world cup i know oh yeah all right saying it was a bribe oh god i gotta go it'll be fun to see yo you seen baron trump making crazy money allegedly doing what on the crypto shit you mean all the trump's making crazy that like bro i mean coffee dealer just did something about it but basically it was like the day before trump announced like some tariff stuff there was like a crazy position put on bitcoin and it like tanked and that account made like 150 mil in a day could you slide back a little bit my boy and then he did another tariff thing like right after i made another crazy amount and people are speculating that's baron trump allegedly i mean look you you gotta be mad at both him and pelosi you can't just choose one oh 100 yeah yeah you know what i mean politicians need to start waving different because zoron was doing that shit yesterday and i was like yo yeah he kept doing it i'm like yo just move it a little bit more if you like somebody it's all right yeah like somebody is oh he started he started waving if he ain't wave he was gonna get shit tomorrow they ain't looking for anything right now yeah all right what's going on outside of paul bro you seen the louvre heist yeah i heard they put some woman in charge of security and then she got jacked immediately probably stole him herself greedy ass bitch what was it jewelry or paintings jewelry jewelry jewelry go to her go to her house bro this story is just awesome it's just it's just proof that magic still exists in the world you know what i mean what do you mean just a bunch of hot guys broke into the louvre how do you know they're hot they got photos allegedly that i've seen and they are hot pull them up pull them up the pull up the photos they're legit so one of the guys is like a like your hand yo he's i know it's like you got it like this bro it's the communist way but they showed a video of him apparently he's like a dirt biker is the word that he's like a dirt biker he's a dirt biker from like he's a dirt biker from the neighborhood bro and he snuck in on a cherry picker what race i hate that you don't watch movies place beyond the pines i know jake gyllenhaal whatever ryan gosling type is scooter and sydney getting paparazzi while taking perfect pictures on a rock in central park that's what the fuck i hate scooter cut that shit out bro cut that shit out scoot yeah bro they snuck in stole a bunch of napoleon's wives exes like jewelry and shit escaped dropped one of them while they were escaping no way yeah so they got away with it 100 mil and then they were caught like a week later where'd they catch him at their apartment just chilling where did they get all the jewels back i think so yeah or no there's still like one thing that's gone and then one of the guys is still at large one of the dudes that was a part of it they like planned it but like they popped in snuck away on a motorcycle oh he got nice eyes it's just like a movie it's this shit is fire now he's handsome right why why are you not excited by is he arab i think north african or like of north african descent yeah algerian i mean if he's committing crime in france gotta be from a grand not in zoron's new york bro you can't say that bro that's that's not no he's getting in here dude amnesty yeah oh true what's this right here louv heist that's how they did it that's them escaping no that they backed a truck up and they wore uh safety vests look like they knew what they're doing they had a guy with a clipboard and everything yeah this is awesome yeah back that shit up it's worth 80 million 100 mil it's like 100 why were they still at their apartment how do you sell it that's why they stole jewels i know about that black market yeah talk to me black market you know what thank you i didn't get it before you said that no it's tricky it's like buying a dinosaur skull you gotta do it illegally that's why they did jewels but there are people that want dinosaur skulls but you shouldn't be able to buy them they should be in museums and other places so you gotta buy it illegally and you gotta buy it from someone who's not gonna say that you bought it very difficult to buy a dinosaur skull who do you know is buying a dinosaur i feel like this is very personal yeah i did try very difficult and very expensive and highly risky because you have to do your own tests on it to make sure it's an actual dinosaur skull and not something crafted by laster how do you test it sorry how do you carbon date it i've carbon dated it i screamed into it played it like a show a little bit i played it like a show that often works

it was stolen man so what happened with this the female security leader promoter she got promoted she got promoted because now she made these jewels invaluable now they're so priceless it's a new Mona Lisa everyone's gonna go see them more money for the loot do you think that they do that on purpose they should yeah they gotta be missing for years though gotta keep it poppin someone gotta say we need a robbery the case gotta be empty and people gotta go take pictures of the case it was empty for a long maybe they're trying to entice more robberies maybe there hasn't been one for a minute and they're like yo we're overdue maybe it's just because now I'm a socialist but I hope them jewels stay they go back to whoever they got stolen from in the first place they're doing this with Egypt have you heard this all the Egyptian artifacts gotta go back they're giving impairments back to the Jews they're going why do they have to go back because they belong to Egypt property of wait giving what back all the Egyptian artifacts around the world gotta go to Egypt based off one Instagram post I saw including the Egyptians including the Egyptians they also gotta go back so they built a big ass museum and they're just like hey can we have all our shit back but right now the museum's like half empty and they're like half empty and they're just gonna hope that the rest of the world gets all their shit back that's really what it is it's like the biggest museum in the world I went to the Egyptian museum no this is some new shit it just when I went to his ass I'm like well that's what they're trying to fix yo but they need their shit back you can't have no Egyptian museum all our shit's somewhere else doo doo doo doo well that shit's kind of embarrassing you have a whole museum and then you have empty placards of like this is some shit that we want this is something like that's just the wish list a bunch of museum heists yo government project alright let me ask you guys something psyop let me just ask you something okay some of yes some of some of these things only have value because western society placed value on them you hear the story about the Mona Lisa now we're talking I think it's fitting I don't know if you've heard it now we're talking my point is like if if somebody went down there and robbed a museum and took their museum shit and put it in the western museum that's fucked up but if these things were just in the garbage somewhere and somebody went down they were like whoa like the Sphinx we had to dust that bitch off they didn't know what to do with that because he shot his nose off nah we had to yes but we also had to dust that bitch off that shit was drowning it was under sand we had to dust all the sand off of it we had to go in there so maybe they didn't know say again they didn't know they were Paul's men if they don't know then what's the point they just forget we gave it all the value they just forget we gave it the value you know how Shifty would grab your phone and do something cool on it and you're like I didn't know I could do that that's what that's not his phone but that's Shifty that's Shifty my point is my point is if we took some shit like from the castle if we took some shit from the museum if we took some shit that had value yeah you gotta get your jewels in India had value right like you guys knew they were valuable yeah why are you talking to me they took it now I'm listening if we took a rickshaw that y'all didn't give a fuck about cause you're like oh that was what we used to drive around back in the day we didn't really give a fuck about it and then it became this like ancient relic that was so important to history because the west made it special and then y'all go oh but we actually do think that that's important we want that back we say well why didn't you have that same energy when we was pillaging I see I see the point here you know what I mean yeah so we gotta look case by case and see did you guys care about it did you value this at the time or was it something thrown in the garbage we valued it now you see that it has value and you're like oh we want that back cause if we just recycled your garbage you don't get it back if we stole something from your castle that was really important to you you gotta give that back yeah I like the logic there I kinda like that kinda right but also you don't know what you got until it's gone sometimes that's on you I believe that how about this crown jewels you could give them back or you could just pay that country the value of the jewels nah take your jewels and find a suitor a gentleman caller y'all want money y'all don't want jewels we want money yeah so now you gotta find somebody to sell them jewels we can do that who knows dog I know I know a guy bought two pygmy heads and a dinosaur skull what color are the jewels the Koh-I-Noor yeah I believe it's pink fact check let's see let's see through that shit I'll take let's see let's see let's see he might be right on this Koh-I-Noor K-O-H-I I missed two months of Joey fucking so I'm coming in later I didn't realize this was an establishment oh yeah yeah yeah bro it's unbelievable it's unbelievable nah but there's no way I would've got that I would've just put some Indian jewels the only way I know is there's an Indian restaurant in my town called this it's not pink beautiful pink diamond it's not pink I guess what the why why why should we go try to rob the jewels and forget which one it was I thought he was trying to trick me I didn't know what color it was hold on I just want to see if you care about the jewels you gotta know what it looks like why I just want the money let me say I just want the money excuse me excuse me yes sir full of shit let me ask you a question yeah full of shit yeah when you said pink it was a guess it was a bitch I thought he was trying to trick me I thought he was trying to trick me what is the trick because I would've just said clear not that you're like you fucking idiot it's not clear it's not clear it's not clear either bro that shit is blue that shit is blue I like that I like that you went for it though that's the fun the whole internet gotta watch and be wrong they could send you in there and be like pick the crown jewels and you'd be like fuck it I just want the money I think it's pick have you ever seen Beetlejuice on Howard Stern's show when he asked him the math questions he's like what is three plus two and he goes nine immediately doesn't even think about it that's nine I think nine that's nine you're gonna go with nine I mean what are you gonna say if you go back to India and you got a pink a pink diamond we just want the money like I said y'all can keep the diamond that's why I proposed this whole thing keep the jewel give me the money oh my god you at work yeah that's a good that's a good yawn it's only worth what someone will pay for it three hundred billion dollars fucking Dr. Evil I think we just give them back bro hey we would take that too cause then we can find a suitor I don't think everybody's buying that people are just make a lab diamond you don't think people are buying that just make a lab diamond you don't think Jay-Z will buy that nah you out of your mind who Jay-Z will buy it Lil Uzi Vert will buy it turn it into a grill somebody will buy that shit dude nah people need to have money to buy things how much is the value of that diamond that's a good question oh that's a replica that's a replica oh shit the real one the real one could be pink it could be fully pink but that shit is probably pink dude oh it's oh it's priceless literally considered priceless value between five hundred million and six billion I mean that's crazy seems like a big swing the Imbanis could afford that zero problems zero problems but priceless though that's a tough leverage point to start a negotiation six billion dollars we'll take it it came down to a price really fast six billion dollars it's priceless or this price of money thousand percent you're talking to an Indian that's a good point you know it's a This thing's priceless. - That is a good point. Dissociable. Sorry, you guys got to give back Jaguar, though. That is all even. The car company? Yeah. Take that shitty-ass car. We don't fucking want that. Wait, what? Downtown Motors owns Jaguar. And they ruined it. Did you see that? Son, that's bin dog shit. No, as payback, the rebrand of Jaguar is insane. Oh, you think they did it on purpose? I swear to God. Oh, the gay guy who was like identity politics in it? Yeah, he made it look wild. That's Cracker Barrel. But I think it was India getting their get back. Oh. Like, let's destroy this British institution. Hey, remember James Bond? Gay car. Damn. Wait, but was Jaguar James Bond? For a while, yeah. He also drove Aston Martin. He also drove Jaguar. He drove a Toyota at one point, too. Oh, that's fire, dude. Get the fuck out of here. He didn't drive a Toyota. Miles, what are you talking about? He used to wear Rolex, and now I, yeah. Miles' Toyota? He didn't drive a fucking Toyota, Miles. Yes, he did. Pull it up. Pull that shit up, Joey. All right. He used to wear Rolexes, and then he wore Omega. He also, at one point, wore, like, there's an off-brand I can't think of for his watch. But, yeah, he had a Toyota. Damn. 2000 GT in You Only Live Twice. See that? There's a famous scene. He's going up a. Sometimes you're guessing that shit is right. I didn't guess. I took a read on this shit. I did take class on James Bond 007 shit. Damn, bro. Go down, go down. And move it over so I can read the writing. Go down. The car was driven by Japanese agent Aki, who used it to drive Bond to meetings and rescue him from various dangerous situations, including a car chase that ended. So he didn't drive it. So James Bond didn't drive it. He does drive it. I don't know. It's saying somebody drove him. Oh, no, Miles Bond. You look a little shaky in the light right there. Oh. This is an all-time fact check. Here we go. Ooh, there he is, driving it. Hold on. He wasn't driving it because the steering wheel's on the other side, my G. He let the woman drive it? Yep. Yeah, that's actually a great point. We literally see him driving it. The girl is driving it. They're honking at pedestrians and shit. What are you saying? The girl is driving. She's behind the wheel. Dumbass. No, she's not. You're wrong. You're wrong, kid. You would never let him drive the car. They're overseas. They drive on the right. They drive on the right side. Not every country overseas. In Japan. Oh, is that Japan? I don't know. Maybe you're right. Well, yeah, it's a Jap car. A Japanese car. It's a Jewish American princess car. So he wasn't driving it, and they would never let him drive it. Wait, wait, wait. I got to stick my feet in it first before you start. See, look. She's driving it. She said, get in the car. Let's go. Yeah. See, you're wrong, Miles. Miles, come on, bro. Yeah. Miles, you know what? You know what diamond is, pink, yo? You're fired. Bro, there's no scene where he's driving it, man. Bond would never drive a Toyota. They would never let Bond drive a Japanese car. Find it. Nah. She's driving it. Whipping it. She's driving crazy, too. You don't think that there's a rule against this in the production of the film? Like, Aston Martin's spending millions of dollars probably to make sure. Not in the 60s, they weren't. Say again? Not in the 60s. He just drove an Aston Martin because it was written that way. Here we go again. He also had a car. He also had a Rolex in the books. So you don't think that there was any financial incentive for him to drive specific cars? It was just written that way. But after the success of the franchise and it becoming, you know, incredibly. There was, yeah, of course, later on. I don't think in 67 there was a, like, financial backing at that point. That's it. I don't think I would determine. Come on, Miles. So then why is the girl driving and not the masculine leader? Because she's in the movie. I'm going to find the scene where he does drive that car. Oh, Miles, come on. Find it quick. Do you really think, Miles, like, I want you to ask yourself, just ask yourself this question. Take a moment to ponder it. Until you ask yourself. Do you think that in 1967, given the nature of, you know, the politics, especially in Great Britain, a war that was fought, you know, not 15 years before against a country that might be producing that. 21 years ago. How quickly we forget. How we got James Bond driving a fucking Japanese movie. Oh, yeah, maybe longer than that. Sorry. But do you think that James Bond would be driving a Japanese car? Or do you think it's more likely that the guy who always drives a British car, because he is a British Superman, would be probably driving a British car? He drove a British car because it was written that way. There are other cars he's driven. Why do you think it was written that way? Because Ian Fleming was sort of a brand whore. Or do you think it's like, this is supposed to be the most British person, so maybe he should be in the British States? You're losing and you're trusting Joey to find it on Google, so I think he should be in the British States. Omega's like his watch brand. It's not a British brand. Wow, look at this. Do you know what I mean? Aston Martin does not pay James Bond to exclusively drive their cars. But pays the film production for product placement. But that's the fucking same thing. Yeah, James Bond isn't a real person. One check to James Bond. Can you ask him if he actually drove other cars? I don't know, man. So you think it was just pure coincidence that he wasn't driving the Toyota? No, but maybe in that exact scene. But I'm saying he's driven other cars. He wears other. But do you think that there are brand limitations for James Bond? In modern day, post-2000. But no, not. Back in the day, you don't think there were any brand limitations? Watch the old ones. They're like zany, goofy films. I don't think there was anyone. That's Austin Powers, bro. He was Austin Powers. He was mixing it up. But I don't think anyone was like, protective of James Bond in the 60s and 70s. This is, once again, one of those arguments we've gone too far on. I'd love to talk about Zoran Mamdani's Queen's Link program, which is way more boring, but way more fun for me. Yeah, we're letting the liberals divide us already. Also, I got a great video I sent to Joey about Zoran's New York City. It was a somewhat okay pivot. We'll take it. We'll take it. All right, what is this? Who's this long-faced bitch? This is offensive. Why would he do. This is truly so offensive. What is this? It's just a woman wearing a niqab. Like, you guys think that's funny? That's fucked up. That's offensive, dude. All right, what else is happening in the world? Anything? I mean, New York City Marathon was a vibe. I've been. Oh, I've been wanting to see this Whitney Houston challenge. Oh, yeah, what is this Whitney Houston challenge? Like, I purposely didn't watch it so we could see it here. Al, come on. I didn't. I swear to God. I was training. I have no idea what. I was practicing all week. Purposely. He was on white TikTok. Yeah. I don't open TikTok. Joey, Joey, Joey. Joey, man. There we go. It's his own note. Joey, man. Joey, it's funny, but it's not at all. He's been talking to us about this fucking Whitney Houston challenge for six days. It's funny, but it's not at all. You need to get all the links up before the pod. Just have them ready to go. He's using his left hand. That's the problem. You got to go righty. That's true. I'm left-handed, though, unfortunately. You got to try to get it with the beat, with the drum. Oh, shit. Banger. Oh, you kind of hit that, bro, with your new voice. I kind of did with my new voice. With your new voice is nice. Oh, wow. Archdog brought an actual drum? With a microphone? Thank you, Archdog. Oh, that's fire. Thank you, my little Archdogs. Bro. All right, let's hear it. I'm recording. All right. That sounds funny. That sound is fire. All right, ready? Go. Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me. All right, ready? Yeah. No, you can't have a visual aid. You can't show it. No visual aid. No visual aid. No, no, no. I wouldn't count because of the visual aid. Nah, you missed it. You can't do that with the visual aid. You missed it. Try it again with no visual aid. That was a little early. That was close. Not bad, not bad. That was a little early, but not bad. All right. Are you ready? Yeah. You are so off. It's unbelievable. Jesus Christ. It's unbelievable how off you were. Yo, Wendy's turning a grave. I need a little Leah. A little Leah. Give me a little Leah. No, no, no. Same. No, same. Socialist. Y'all, it's the same. You put a different song on. That was a different song. Go. You sped that up. I need it to stop. Go. You gave him more. Oh. You gave him more. You gave him more sleep. Mike, come on. Give me your shit right now. You gave him more. You gave him more. You gave him more. You gave him less right now. I hate me. You hate me. I got it right now. I got it right now. It's ferocious, bro. Whatever you need. It don't matter. I got it. Damn. I'm almost there. Last one. Last one. Sorry. No. Fuck. I like this shit. Damn. - It's, it's, it's, it's, One more beat past whatever you think it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And in Mark's case, no. All right, ready? Yeah. Why do you keep looking at me, dude? Yeah! Oh, my God. Frankie, we did it. We did it. That was so good. It did. That was incredible.

Summary:

S. governance, particularly focusing on New York City’s new mayor, Zoran. It highlights how progressive policies—like free buses, rent freezes, and government-owned supermarkets—are not only practical but symbolic acts of resistance against political elites and MAGA ideology.

The discussion emphasizes that younger, immigrant, and marginalized communities are driven by identity and affordability, not just economic need. Platforms like Shopify, Experian, and PrizePix serve as promotional anchors, tying personal finance and lifestyle choices to broader political themes. The podcast uses humor and exaggerated storytelling to explore deeper issues of power, representation, and public trust, questioning whether politicians can truly deliver on promises without alienating their base.

It also critiques political polarization, noting how both left and right use fear and identity to mobilize support. The tone is irreverent and self-aware, blending satire with genuine commentary on how public sentiment shifts in response to perceived injustice. Ultimately, the segment argues that the current political moment reflects a desire for balance, transparency, and meaningful change—especially in times of economic strain and social upheaval.

However, it remains skeptical about whether such promises will translate into real outcomes, as many policies are seen as performative rather than transformative.
