Matan Forces TraxNYC To Admit To Scamming His Fans
39m 23s
The podcast features a lively, humorous, and intellectually playful conversation between hosts about identity, culture, and entrepreneurship. The guest, Maksuda Gajani, shares their mixed Jewish-Muslim heritage and reflects on how cultural assumptions shape perceptions of people. A central debate centers on the value of diamonds versus gold, leading to a deeper discussion about perception, ethics, and economic fairness. The hosts explore issues like exploitation in diamond mining, especially in Africa, arguing that local communities should benefit from natural resources rather than being left in poverty. The conversation also includes satire and absurdity—such as painting diamonds purple or joking about "money shooting out of ears"—to highlight how wealth and behavior affect business dynamics. Despite the comedic tone, the dialogue underscores serious themes of economic justice, cultural responsibility, and innovation. Ultimately, both parties emphasize the importance of self-reliance, business acumen, and ethical decision-making in building success. The episode concludes with a light-hearted suggestion to sell a purple diamond, blending humor with a call to action for creative and responsible entrepreneurship.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the podcast. So today's guest we have trucks NYC welcome in Come see the middle please For today's co-host we have Mike welcome in Mike Hey Mike, what's up brother? Assalamu Alaikum my brother Looking good you keep saying that off camera, but you're not a Muslim. Why do you say that well? What makes you say I'm not a Muslim? I know what you are just like I said off camera. Well first of all it's a little hot in here, man Let me just unzip this thing real quick Oh You don't want to break character brother. Come on then. Oh Yeah, I'm gonna start doing African spells on you Is that a real one? This is a silver one. I made a gold one for my boy Martin Rappaport But to answer your question, you know, my name is Maksuda Gajani, and that's not a Jewish name That's not a Jewish name, and that's a Muslim name Yeah, but that's not what a Muslim would wear. No, he wouldn't wear this. That's true. You betrayed your people Well, that's because I'm half Jewish half Muslim, but I was raised you as my father. Half Muslim. What does half Muslim mean? I understand the whole thing where the Jewish people would say it's a people and also a religion, but the Muslim people don't say that Yeah, well, let's say half Arab. I'm gonna leave it up to God. I was born in a Muslim country Azerbaijan Okay, okay, and I came to the United States of America as a Jewish refugee with a Muslim name Because otherwise they wouldn't let you in if you said you're a Muslim. You're probably not you're a ton. I'm Maksud So we got to figure this one out. That's all it is, you know That's horrible. Why did you you didn't show me that before the episode? I want to surprise you man. I wanted to surprise you I wanted to share the Jewish heritage with you the blessings of Abraham. No, it's the curse The curse. Oh, you got to take that up with God, bro I need to get one of those African witches to descends the whole place Don't hand that to me you're right. Don't hand it to my body either Just get it heavy man Right here for you, bro You love the Jewish people, right? Oh, come on Um, what's worth more a pound of gold or diamonds? A pound of diamonds is a lot of diamonds. So definitely in today's market a pound of diamonds will get you a lot of money That's not true. They're equal. They're both one pound. Right, but their value is based on what's worth more? What's worth more a pound of diamonds is probably You know a million dollars and a pound of gold is like each one pound Well, that's the weight. Yeah, and I asked I said what's worth more? It was actually a trick question. Right You know, I'm saying by weight one weighs different and was one weighs the same, but it's worth different No, they weigh the exact same. They're both exactly one pound. All right, you got me I would have thought you might have known better. I you know, maybe the viewers can figure it out for us You know what I'm saying? And they could do the mouth A pound up the the math and the mouth of the shit you're saying a pound of diamonds one carrot each what would be the value? Leave it in the comments It's gonna do you good man. You get it inherit the blessings right there. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna smell it and then I'm gonna sell it to somebody That would be rough Uh what's wrong with making your own Rolex in selling it to all people What's wrong with melting my own Rolex making your own Rolex making my own Rolexes? I mean Rolex makes Rolex I can't make Rolex man. Why but then you'll just sell them to because I'm tracks and I Rolex What do you make tracks? Yeah That's jewelry tracks and I see that com bro. Yeah, but that's just a name. That's not like an actual word It is but not the way you spell it right So why don't you make Rolexes and sell them because it's probably gonna be a lot cheaper than flipping Rolexes Why why don't you make iPhones? Because I'm not in the jewelry business. It's like asking me why don't I you know do a different style of interview It's like maybe I'll consider that you should But that's what I'm saying is like as you grow up you make more sense and then you can get real answers to real questions Yeah, exactly.

I'm into gold That's my thing watches is for Rolex gold is for tracks and I see You know, I'm saying home depots for your boy And that's about it But you're only willing to do one sort of business.

Okay, so here's one of them Here's the first one Hold on. I'm not gonna let you touch them until I bring out the other one sure So that's the first option. Yeah First option don't look too good from here. He doesn't look real doesn't look too good to me now. Okay And then here's the second option All right So you're gonna have to tell me which of these two is real. All right, well, let me double double check this one. Okay Let me see what's going on over here Forget about that shit That one you could shove right up your ass. That one's not real. I don't know. I don't doesn't look like it to me But it was just wondering you actually If I had to bet I would say no, okay But I'm uh if one of them had to be real obviously be this one that one's not real You didn't even check this one out. You didn't even take it too big brother. It's too big. You'd be too rich You'd have real change This is in mind. This is in mind. This is somebody lent it to me for this you have comfortable furniture for your podcast if you had a diamond That but isn't it isn't it said that a diamond is the hardest thing so you wouldn't be able to drill through it, right? No So let's see Should you want to try? I'm scared it's going to be one I could try with my shit What are you going to smash it and I'm going to smash it, but I'm going to show you something man What's up with this thing because when it explodes? I don't want to glass in my eyes Where'd you get this shit from these real diamond? Yeah, so I'm guy lent it to me He said it's worth about two and a half billion dollars All right, well, he might be upset if it's going to come back a little scratch because we got my upside down diamond chain here Just for such purposes For the purposes of what well you want to scratch it Sorry buddy. No, it's because it's diamond on diamond if you use gold then it might be different Yeah, but this shit is still a hundred percent. Let me see. Let me try Okay, so do you want to make a trade? I'll give you this diamond. No, thanks, man I really don't but I'm giving you one that might be worth about two and a half billion dollars or something Take it when you cash that in for two and a half billion you could buy as many of those as you want You want to try it yourself? Let me help you out here. Let me make sure you got a flat surface right here How do we know that you're not giving you got you even you get your gimme a little scratch to me All right, well listen you are hard man argue with brother. We are hard man arguing as you can tell I think you're wrong actually I don't think this is scratches. I think this is kind of just like this is the decoration now Yes, so actually you got it wrong you failed the test This is made by long win long win
- Yeah. - I think you're just jealous of them. - Fuck 'em. - Long wind, short dick. - No, it's a company, it's not a person. - All right. - Your operation is just one guy, but they're much bigger than you. - I love it. - Good for them. - What method do you use to tell Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese people apart? - Well, Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese. - Yes. - Koreans, Japanese, I mean, I have an easy time telling them apart. - How is that? I'm saying just based off the look, not by asking them obviously. - I mean, obviously not. I mean, the way they dress is certainly different. You know, the Koreans are always trimmed and proper. They might have a sweater vest on. - What if they were all wearing the same clothes? Because this is kind of, this is a whole other thing. This is almost like asking them. - The Chinese have a rounder head, there I say. - Okay. - The Japanese might be a little bit on the darker side and the Koreans more of a shapely head. - Shapely like yours, you're saying? - Yeah. - What does a round head mean for the Chinese people? - More like a sphere. - Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It doesn't sound good. - Yeah, that depends on what your bitch is into. - I'm saying for their mental, not for attractive. - Listen, they're doing great. They're on the come-up. - But if somebody comes to you and said, "Hey, you have a round head." It wouldn't really be sounding like a compliment. - That depends what your bitch is into. - Again, but you're only looking at the attraction. If somebody came up to you, a grown man, and said, "You have a round head." - I'd say, "Thank you for your fucking comment." And I'll keep it moving. - That doesn't sound hot. - So thank you for your fucking comment and keep it moving. That sounds like you picked. - You're back to the money. - You don't sound hot. - I'm not listening to a grown man on the shape of my head. - So, why should they listen to you about it? - Why should they listen to me about it? - I don't think they should, man. - So then your message is false. - Correct. - How's that old saying go by Francis Bob? - By what? - Would you kick somebody out of your store if they said, "Hey, bitch, I'm no stupid motherfucker. "I'll kill you and steal your diamond "so I can feed my dog, don't play with me." - That would be definitely grounds to throw the fuck out of there, correct? - Why, maybe a little discriminatory on your end? - Yeah, I mean, listen, that's not how a person who spends money acts. - No, but this guy, this guy, just to give some more context has money coming out of his ears. - Money coming out of his ears makes a difference. That's for sure, I might tolerate it a little bit. - And not like money, he has so much money it's coming out of his ears. Like, money is-- - He's got money to spend, then we tolerate the tolerance level of the bullshit goes up. - He doesn't have money in his ear, like because he doesn't have anywhere to put it. Money is generating in his ear. It's coming out of his ear. - As long as it's going into my pocket, I'll tolerate the bullshit. - It's not, it's falling onto the floor. Money is printing inside of his ear. - Well, then, I don't know, man. That might be a good customer for you and your business. - So you would still kick him out, even if you had money coming out of his ear? - Yeah. - But he tells you, you can have all of the money and it's like, it's flying out of his ear now. Money is flying out of his ear. - Fuck him. - You're turning down a lot of money at this point, no? - I'll make money somewhere else with normal people. - So you're not willing to do business with extravagant people? - But once we solve the money? - Yeah, I'm not willing to do business with extravagant people if they're retarded. - The guy is not showing any signs of retardation. Why wouldn't you do business with a retarded person? - Listen, man, I'm having a hard time explaining anything to you, bro. I think you might ask your gimp that question. He might get a better answer. - Why do you keep insulting him? You're getting upset because you don't have to explain things correctly to me. So you're insulting him? - Yes, man, it's frustrating. - I'm trying to understand why you wouldn't take money from somebody who has money shooting out of their ear, which is like, at this point, he's like a hundred miles an hour. - I told you, I would take the money. - But you said you'd kick him out of your store. - But if you got out of control, yeah, kick him out, man. - Sounds like a big mistake. - What would you do? - I would ask him, I would say, what do you want? And how much are you gonna give me for it? The guy has money at this point. The bills are flying and he's like bills that are compact. 'Cause somebody threw it at you would hurt a hundred miles an hour. So if he starts aiming, he's gonna watch you. It's gonna go straight to him. - Oh, you, man. - I'm 18. Why does that have to do with my shoes? - You got a young dude's mentality. - All right, so you said, "Jew, young Jew." Yeah, I'm a young Jew, that's right. - That's right. - Right, and about the guy with the money in his ear, if he's aiming his ear at you now, it's gonna shoot right through your head. - Yeah. - Are you not gonna be careful with this guy? He could kill everybody in an instant. - Yeah, that's why I just turn to the side, get the money. - No. - So I don't have to do podcasts like this one. - Your whole position is changing. You said you were gonna kick him out. - Well, listen, I'm an evolving person, bro. I gotta change my position once in a while, dude. - You know what I'm saying? - You don't talk when you don't know. - Yeah. - But, well, I got a microphone in front of me. I gotta say something, right? - Yeah, but you're supposed to think before you speak. - Right. What type of people is usually the worst for business? - What type of people are the worst for business? - Well, that's a powerful question. Well, to BPG with it, it's just the people that expect a lot, that have no money. And then they spend the hundred bucks and then they wanna fucking call you and ask you shit and do shit, I guess, I don't wanna generalize people in a particular group or category. - Well, I'm saying just, again, based off the look, just who you know, when somebody's walking in the store, it's like, oh, this isn't gonna be a good sell. - You could never really judge a person by what they look like. When you look at you, you think you're a bum, but you're a successful podcast guy. - I don't have enough, I mean, in terms of the dime. - You're making my bum, compared to you. - No, no, no, no, no, there's something. - Do you think I'm making as much as you? - I don't know what you're making, but you could certainly get there for a fucking 18-year-old guy with the views and the money. You're in the business, blah, blah, blah. - What about him? - Him, he's gotta hang on to you for dear life. If you ain't gonna make it very far on his own. - Oh, why is that? What do you know about him? You're insulting him? - Why, because he doesn't have money out of his ear? - Well, listen, I mean, the guy is laying on the floor with a fucking power drill. Last time I saw him, he was wearing peanut butter, I think. What was that? - I don't know, you weren't there for that ever. - So, you know, the one who's insulting, it might be you. - I'm making a fool out of him, but I'm not verbally insulting him at least a little now. - Well, you know what, I wish him the best. I don't wanna insult you, I apologize. - Why do you think people get upset about the ethics of diamond mining? Do you think they're jealous they don't have any workers for a dollar a day? - People are getting upset about the ethics of diamond mining, huh? - Right. - Yeah, I mean the-- - Same to blood diamonds that were upset because you kinda defended that a little bit. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I never really defended that, but, you know, listen. People are looking for diamonds to try to make money. They find them, they wanna sell them, they gotta get it to the marketplace. You want them to have nothing, you do nothing, that's on you. - Well, I'm saying 'cause people were upset because you made a video where you were just hugging the starving Africans were. And most of the time, if they find a diamond, it's not like they get to keep it. They have to give it to the boss. - It's whoever has the diamond. - It's like this big and it's not because he's foolish because he's so hungry that he's stomach exploding with hunger, that's how that works for the world. - Right, and that's why we gotta learn business so we could make money from every opportunity so we could take care of ourselves and our community. Yeah, if you're an Africa and you have an issue, you gotta figure out how to take your resources around you and make money 'cause no one's gonna do it for you. - They don't have any resources, they don't even have food or water. - There's water out there, it rains there too, and there's food that you could do, and a lot of people are in a lot of those nations and goal about swan are doing great. - I don't even know what you just said. It seemed like you were just talking extremely fast. You said in goal and but swan are doing great. - They're good economies, they're strong economies. - You wanna live there? - I spent time there. - Would you wanna live there? - I mean, I enjoy living in New York. I would only live in Japan or live in Italy personally. - Why not but swana? - I'll spend some time out there. They got great nature, but nature, it's like, you know what I mean, it's not really civilization over there, it's still nature. - Yeah, nature is important. They got great cities too, you know? - But you said you could support the African people mining the diamonds. - Yeah, I definitely, I support them making progress off of the amazing natural resources that you have in there. - They're not making any progress for themselves. - That's their responsibility. - What do you mean? - There's like four-year-old, a lot of it is children, that's not true. - Some of them certainly are, but children don't have themselves, you know what I'm saying? There's gotta be adults around where there's children. - Okay, so I actually agree with what you're saying, you're saying that it's fine that the children are mining the diamonds because at the end of the day, they didn't come up with the idea to do it. - If that's the way you see it, you know? - I'm trying, no, I'm asking how you see it. - How I see it? - I won't kill either way, it doesn't really matter. - How I see it? - I think that there's opportunity to make money with the resources around. And you have to, it'd be responsible for your own self, right? Just like Matan took this fucking of these shitty tables and these curtains and put 'em on as making money, inviting people and fucking with them, you took an opportunity, someone could have said this fucking ridiculous motherfucker can't do anything. - Okay, but you know what the problem is with this? Is that this turned out to be somewhat successful, and then I get the gains from it, but those guys who find the diamonds, if they even look at the diamond for too long, they'll rip their head off. - Yeah, yeah. - They'll literally rip their head off. - You got to polish your own stone, you got to make your own fit. - No, they don't get the stone, nope, they don't get the stone. - If you dug the stone, some of them have the stone, some of the work might work for a mining company. - No, none of them keep the stone.
none of them keep the stone will dickheads like you around for sure no one gets anything knowing in africa with the diamonds you're selling i'm selling them in africa i mean of the where you're getting these diamonds from i'm getting them from the diamond that you're lying to people lab yeah unless you're lying to people that's all you've done uh i've lied to a couple of people here in there sure by selling them lab diamonds no so why would you say yes i have you know i've told the lie or two in terms in regards to selling people diamonds and in regards to you know here in there this and that i'd be a liar if i told you i never told a lie my life i agree so why would anybody want to buy diamonds from you if you're gonna tell them that they're honest from africa they're gonna have to they're from the lab they're gonna have to figure that out on their own they're gonna have to figure that out on their own they're gonna have to figure that out on their own are you more likely to give money to a hobo of their dancing up quite possibly yeah in what circumstance would increase their odds if they're entertaining they'll definitely make more money for them yeah they're going like this hey hey that will do it i mean i'm a generous person what would you give them could be 20 bucks could be five bucks could be a dollar that depends on how well i'm doing now i will say i do like those videos where you give sometimes like pieces of silver to homeless people yeah because it's like it's very funny because they have no idea what to do with it so they're taking it back to their camp and they probably end up killing each other for it all and they don't even it's not like it's gonna generate anything useful for them it's they're responsible with it no i agree you're not doing anything wrong i think it's funny because now you have a camp of homeless people fighting and killing each other for a piece of silver and they don't even know what it is they just know that a guy gave it to them right with shiny necklace is on it's they're responsible yeah it's their responsibility to figure out what to do once they have that silver yeah again i'm not blaming you i'm not saying that it's your responsibility thank you for not blaming me yeah listen some homeless people might knife each other in a in a trailer park bro you know i'm saying this is silver that's what it does that's what it does it honestly doesn't even matter that it's silver they don't give a shit about what it is they just want to kill each other and they think that when somebody has something they should take well you know take some of your YouTube take some of your YouTube views and go in the trailer park and you know i'm saying give them some security and separate them no but i don't care about them like that it doesn't matter to me that i could see um why don't you paint the diamonds you sell purple and then they'll be able to go for more because they're special now because it's a dumbest idea i've ever fucking heard maybe you're just jealous you haven't thought of it first no man that's not what's going on here you know what they say they say that the people who are the most intelligent come up with the idea first that's me yeah but that was my idea that's not an intelligent idea though how would you know you're clearly not intelligent enough to have your own thoughts well listen we could we could uh argue but that would be a stupid thing to do why would it be stupid because arguing about who's more intelligent is a fucking retarded idea and that's why i'm not arguing about who's more intelligent i'm arguing you why wouldn't you paint the diamonds purple why wouldn't i paint because that's a dumb fucking idea that makes no money in the jewelry business you got to have trust have you ever tried it you got to have uh you know why the fuck would i try something why why don't i try something because then you can increase your income that's something that you should do and get into jewelry business and do you paint all the diamonds tell me how it goes okay but this is a stupid point because this is like i'm not in the jewelry business if i was and i'm in jewelry business for 20 years and you still know i know i mean listen you could uh color your diamonds in some ways you might not paint them paint it purple paint it purple all right we'll paint it we'll paint the diamond purple if it doesn't work out and it doesn't sell then we'll officially know you're fucking stupid and i'm smart okay do you want to make these bet yeah i'll bet you that i'll go with you tomorrow to the diamond district and if you give me a purple diamond it will be gone in an hour all right but one diamond is not enough and you have to have real customers oh i never said i'm gonna sell it i said listen you paint that diamond purple and if it sells you can have it and if it doesn't you'll be retarded for the rest of your life he doesn't make any sense if i sell it now it doesn't make any sense we had him as all going babajan hey listen if i sell it i can have it you can have it you making money huh but i already sold it you already sold it to who where's the buyer i'm sure i could sell a purple diamond you sure you could well you purple one yes a painted one no no a painted purple babajan business time also i want to make another point on this uh if you painted purple it's gonna be way where are you from bro listen if you painted purple it's gonna be harder to tell if it's real or fake so you could eventually start giving people a Turkish purple diamonds you listen you're not Armenian so what's your issue with the Turkish people you're Azerbaijan I'm Azerbaijan babajan where are you why do you want to know you're just Jewish yeah this is your job don't try to have a job where are you from uh culture here you look i mean we look like we're from the same culture to be honest you know now pal i think you're from the caucuses for sure i'm from Los Angeles oh you could be Romanian i'm from Venice Beach it's a sort of area like like a hippies and skating and stuff yeah yeah you were born there yes where your parents were born in Los Angeles no there were they were what a grandparent in Los Angeles my whole line goes back we were Native Americans we were originally from Europe and then you have an accent of some sort you have something going on now like a like a Wall Street business diamond accident yeah yeah okay so i just beat you up there in that argument you got me bro you nailed me following up on that thing earlier do you think the right thing to do would be to give all of the diamonds back to the starving Africans absolutely how can we start that process how can we start that process that's a great question you come down to the diamond district i'll sprinkle some diamonds in your hand you take a flight and start investing it into different nations but i mean about investing what i'm saying don't don't give it to the government the governments there get corrupt ASAP right so fortunate yeah the king it's unfortunate i'm saying give it back to the guys who mind it where are they going to fucking do with a diamond they got to get to the market place you want your diamonds at the market you want to have some diamond to somebody what do they do with it they wear it right where okay so the Africans can wear the diamonds they have more diamonds than anybody in the world they could get them out of the ground but it's not theirs the second they find that it goes to you basically why why are they giving it to me because they're their fools and they need to be able to buy food you know what i'm giving them the real advice right now to know not a grown food after this many years and there some of them are doing great and you need to you know do good business and they'll be able to do more you know maybe the at the Tesla bots are going to be able to take care of all these problems who knows i wish they would just replace them replace who the Tesla bots would replace those Africans without food and now listen i mean actually when you're out there you see there's a lot of beautiful people and they're smiling no matter what their situation is and they're happy and they're grateful for their lives and it's a really good energy out there so it rather than what the fuck's going on a Los Angeles or some of the Los Angeles is a good place i'm just telling you that i'm saying that you are you know i'm saying but you get a really good vibe especially in Sierra Leone i had a really good time would you want to live there uh i'll be back would you live there no oh why not i like luxury shit that's why exactly that's was the whole point you're right you nailed me i like luxury shit i like good infrastructure good food is it true that you steal people's teeth and then sell it to the fish monster so he doesn't destroy your store that is true how did you meet this guy i met him uh on an acid trip and where do you meet with him to give him the teeth well it's hard to differentiate when you're on acid you know i don't why are you getting on drugs when you're meeting him he's gonna make you less serious here that's it when you ask the question like that that's the type of answer you know if he doesn't take me too serious then i'm fucked what can i say are you scared of him or what's the deal i'm scared of the next dumbass question i'm gonna be asked that's what i'm really scared of okay but you listen you're trying to pretend that all of these questions are stupid i think he's not all of them some of them are less retarded but you know you gotta grow up your 18 year old kid i think it's because you don't necessarily have the intelligence levels to understand what i'm asking you you don't get the implication of the question there's no implication man the fish monster there's no implication that's why your podcast episodes on hold on do so well but your clips do you find a good clip here in there that's not good my my last episode got like a young babajan no don't act like you have a culture you're a young babajan and you stealing the people's teeth right isn't it sort of hypocritical that people wouldn't have been mad at Epstein if the people on his island were consenting adults uh yeah i mean if if he wasn't with kids i think it would have made uh things completely different so how is that not a hypocritical thing for people to say what's not a hypocritical thing for people to say oh okay it's a problem because they're 11 years old but it would have been fine if they were 30 yeah okay how does that make any sense because you're supposed to have a childhood that's uninterrupted and it doesn't have any trauma and then become an adult and make the best choices that you can that's just a way where he's not responsible for them it's not his children well listen you make that your public opinion and um you figure that out how that workplace out for you i think people are going to i think people are going to be upset and build gates and build clinton i think
people will be upset. That's the new trend right now, it's defending Epstein. Epstein, maton. You're putting me in the same group as them? Thank you. Two syllables each, Epstein, maton. Scammer. Try, that's not your real name. That's my business, you know, just in case your, your viewers don't have money. But in case you do, you can shop for some jewelry. Are there many, any goys in the diamond district? Yeah. Really? What's the level there? It's going up. Really? Yeah, yeah. Okay, and what's the percentage there if you had to take an exact number? I mean, I would say, you know, you're 50% is, is it makes of Korean, Hispanic people? Is it any black or no? Yeah, working in my company, but not owning, just working. And not only working black people, huh? I don't have that thing. No, that's not what I do. But there in the diamond district, they don't hire black people. I have a few really talented people working for me. I have multi-ethnic team. So everyone's from everywhere. All across the globe. Well, I'm a, I'm an employer. I have employees. Why are you trying to play a little game about the wording here? Well, I'm an employer. I have employees. Is the jewelry business sort of like the math business? You buy stuff and sell it? Yeah. I mean, you could say that. You definitely buy and sell in the math business. It's definitely, you know, some sort of material in the math. And here we're dealing with gold. So would it be fair for me to introduce you to people as a math dealer? I don't think anybody's going to take you serious no matter what. Why is that? Because you say crazy shit. You get good views and you make some money. That's the real stick here. So people aren't going to take me serious because I'm making views and making money. Well, we're going to find out you take this motherfucker serious. Let us know in the comments. You're talking to a piece of plastic. Yeah. You know, the fuckers are plastic out there. Or if you're plastic or not, leave a comment. Are you trying to up my engagement? What's happening? I'm trying to up your engagement. I'm trying to make this worth my fucking time. Babajan.

You're trying to help me. We keep you a really good looking people. We'll invite you on their podcast if you give me like a chain or something. Yeah, that would be right. Well, listen, I might give you a good idea and a good look. Since you're a Muslim, I can't give you gold. I'll take anything and then I'll take you a. Yeah, this is a great look for you. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let me do this. I have a silver one. Hold on a goddamn second here. I'm going to find a lock. And this is a new link. And I can have that. Yeah. It's was my personal. She should got him excited. He's trying to say he wants a chain too. Who the guy in the floor? No, don't give him anything. No, give him anything. I was about to. But fuck him. Here you go, brother. Oh, thank you. You have to put it on my neck. Yeah. Well, this is this is how it is. There you go. So and then. So what I'll do tomorrow. So Puffy Gucci link with diamond cuts. Wow, great. If I get to keep this, I'm going to paint it purple and I'm going to sell this tomorrow on the street. You could definitely sell it. You know, it's as a one of one gift to change. So I know how to sell it. Not a lot. Like a hundred bucks. Sure. Yeah. Okay. And if I sell it for 200 and because it's purple, are you going to say that I did a good business? I'm going to app say absolutely. You did a fantastic business. You're a fantastic businessman. You made it this far 18 years old. There's no fucking stopping you. So then why are you doubting my idea here? I mean, because it's not a serious idea, but I'm not doubting you. No, yes, you are. You said I'm retarded. Well, as you say, retarded chip at your 18 years old, I was this perhaps more stupid when I was 18. I'd probably say, you're going to watch this shit when you're my age and you're going to think, how was I so intelligent at that age when I didn't even have that much life experience? Yeah. Yeah. You're going to really say some shit, bro. Right. Was he scary to see Adam Sandler get shot in the head right in front of you? No, that was quite interesting. And what did you think when that happened? I thought, wow, what an amazing ending to a film. Also, is a movie wasn't real? No, it wasn't real. Adam Sandler's doing great. He's fine. I don't understand. Well, you don't know how movies work. Why would you fake something like that? You got to ask the director, Josh and Benny Safety, another two Jewish fellows, another two good old Jewish boys, Ashkenazi boys, the Safety boys, and their fans of Sandler, obviously, another Jewish boy. You're a fan of Sandler, right? There must be something wrong here. It's like it's an epitism. Nepotism, I don't even know what that is, man. Was your father in the diamond district? No, no, no. My father was a homicide detective in Azerbaijan. A homicide detective. In Azerbaijan? Yeah. Was that well-paying? Yeah, if you take a briber, too. Is that something he did? He wouldn't tell me if he did, but he did, all right. So you clearly don't come necessarily from honesty. I mean, you really should be selling people purple diamonds. Yeah, I should, man. I should listen to your advice for sure. Do you make more money every year on average compared to a hippo? Way more. How do you know that? What's the average amount they make? Nothing. So how do you know that? Well, they don't have access to currencies. They have their own version of currency. What is it? What is it? I don't know. Studies, maybe. Status? I mean, well, in that case, they got me beat. Okay. So maybe next time, as I said, you should think before you speak. I should. I should. That's something to consider. You got to get more comfortable chairs for your podcast, bro. This shit is fucking brutal. No, it's very comfortable. And it has a nice seating on the bottom of cushion. Right. This might have. No, I don't even have a cushion over here, bro. Yeah, because you're the guest. Oh, you got a cushion? No, you don't got a cushion either, bro. Yes, I do. It's not visible to the camera, right? But I do. All right, all right. I don't know how to get, I don't know how to explain this next one because I don't know if you'll really understand what I'm asking. But would you say that it would be more worth your time to try to sell diamonds or little sculptures of long neck? Little sculptures of long neck? Yes. Long neck as in that kid with a long neck. Yeah, that's correct. I'm sticking to diamonds, man. Why is that? It seems like you don't like any of my ideas and you're just going to be stuck on this. I don't fuck about a diamond. I like what the consumer wants. The consumers love the long neck. He has 80 billion followers. So you say. So you say, but I, my experience is different than that, man. You know, I'm saying he's expressing himself. What's your experience with neck? That's a fucking question for a different time. No, I don't make it a weird gazing. I don't think about your gay experiences. I'm asking about long neck. Right. I've seen it in my metamons. Okay. Why wouldn't you make a little, you could get people to make a little figurines like 50 cents a piece and you could sell them for like 40 bucks. Do you have any better ideas? There's a lot of ideas out there, man. I get a chat GPT could do a better job than that. No, it couldn't because it could never come up with an idea like this. It would tell you like, yeah, still of purple. It's just all bullshit. It gives you none of the ideas. Just like you, why do you seem so combative here? Because you only do things that you've known about because I want to make money, my man. I want to make money, bro. I want to sit here. I want to make money by John. Come on, bro. How did your parents bring you to America, bro? They needed a little something. You know, what do they do? What do they do for a fucking living? A German Spaniard. And what they did a long time ago is their own slaves. German Spaniard? Yes. And they sold slaves. That's what. Wow. Well, that's a surprise to me. Yes, when that's not a German name, Matan. It's, yeah, it is. Mickey, look up who with Matan is. What is his last name, man? Evan EVN. Oh, that's it is. Matan Evan. That's a Jewish name. No. Roman Kowski, whether it was originally. No, that the first thing. Okay, but we all know that. That's what you've been saying. Well, Evan is a Spanish name. All right. Well, listen, you got me beat again. Okay. All right. Well, thanks for coming on. Have a film with Longneck now. Thank you. All right. Longneck coming in. You fucked up the mic. Yeah, shove this up your ass. You're slow. And your head is slow. You're a slow sinker. This guy's retarded. He can't even get the drill from him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to get the drill from him, bro. It's probably been up your ass all week.
