Members Tent | Group Chat News Ep. 780

Hey, guys, welcome to group chat. We got a hot episode. We're all in the studio. We got a packtouse. We got a lot to talk about. We got a good, you know, I would say for everyone complaining that sometimes our Sunday episodes, we just talk shit to each other too much. We have a good blend of talking shit to each other. Yeah. Because I mean, can't not. And news. Well, I mean, we definitely had a lot of golf talk. A lot of golf talk, which I would say is probably might be the end of golf talk for a little bit or maybe we'll tone it down. Yeah. It was just a huge golf tournament in LA. So this is kind of the peak of golf talk. Yeah. There'll still be little bits here and there. I'll still do my country club reviews and whatever. But yeah, we got to keep the reviews. A lot of golf talk. Manolo. Manolo. We got to have him on. And then, you know, we had to get into a little political debating on and saw some content over the weekend with actually a democratic candidate that he is not happy about. No. He texted me at. He's gone midnight. So nuts. He's now voting for Gavin Newsom. Yes. Already. He's already here. He has his ballot filled out. He's like, just talking about this thing, campaigning. I'm going to be on the phones. He texted me at midnight on and goes to bed at 9 p.m. He texted me at midnight in a rage about this content he listened to. So we're going to talk about it. And then we have just some general news to talk about. There's one item that is the sales are falling off a cliff of this item. And I think it's going to shock all of our listeners, because it's the one item that I don't think you would ever think sales would fall off a cliff. So that and many more also, sorry, one more teaser. D has a forecast for which product or which thing, which discovery, which invention is bigger, way bigger, way beyond AI. AI is over. And one thing's AI is the biggest thing. I also want to say there's a big difference between member 10 knowledge versus yeah, absent member 10. Yeah. We learned a lot about on and we learned a lot about on and you know, where he hangs out in this episode. He acts like he's for the everyday man and woman, but we'll see. We'll see about that. Okay, you guys ready? Let's go. All righty. All right, all right. Let's go. All right. Let's go. We are rolling video. We're rolling audio. We have all three gentlemen in studio on the pod. We have a full house. I've never seen in the year and a half that I've worked for the pod. The couch so full. We got so many people here. I think this might be a good pod drama. Take it away. I think you think we're going to be great. What kind of an intro is that already? No, that's kind of very low expectations. Thanks, sorry. Okay, so we have two holidays. Yeah, just celebrate. The first one we'll talk about Father's Day, Happy Father's Day, Murley Bros. Thank you. Thank you. Happy Father's Day, so all the captives. What do you guys do? We went this morning to the beach. Yeah. You know, yesterday was like this incredible day. Yeah. And so in the morning, I was at great. It's going to be an incredible weekend. Let's go to the beach. Go to the beach. Kind of drizzling the whole time. Yes, we were today this morning. Oh, yeah. This morning, the morning, and it was just literally like, first of all, the part of the beach at Will Rogers, which is like just north of Santa Monica, where we go. Literally know it on the beach, but us really? Why could it be so great? 200 feet one way, 200 feet is not another human being because it was literally rainy. But the weather was nice, right? No, it wasn't. It was warm. No, it was cold. We were in sweatshirts. I was in pants. Kids were in whatever. They don't care. Is it the kids getting the water? No. Yeah, they're feet. So we did that for a few hours. Yeah. So what would you rate that on scale of 1 to 10? It's your day. For me, it was great. 10. The kids were happy. I had a great time. And then my oldest wanted to go out to eat, but everyone else was tired. Yeah. So he's like, can you and I go out to eat? I was like, oh, that's nice. When I do that often. Yeah. And so he wanted Shake Shack. Good taste. Crushed a cheeseburger. Love it. And then this. What do you mean? What do you mean? I had a veggie burger. They have like a veggie patty. They make their own patty. Yeah. Got it. It's pretty good. Okay. And then the one on Santa Monica. Yeah, last time I got it. And then we went to our friend's house. Dave and Selena and we went swimming. And I just came from there. Great from it. Great from it. Pretty good father's there. That's great. Okay. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. I want to ask you what has surprised you most about being a dad? What has surprised me most? It's how incredibly Dalfish everyone is till they have children. Like do you feel like you look at your old self and you're like, damn, I was selfish as shit? Well, yeah. I mean, like if you just think about your time. Yeah. Like the people like who don't have children when they say they don't have time, it's kind of like laughable to me. Yeah. Why? Because when you especially have little children, like I have a five year old and a two year old, like you literally cannot take your eyes off them. The two year old, you literally cannot take your eyes off. Yeah. If you move one one inch that way, he's gone. Yeah. Just like even today, he in the pool, I went to go talk to my friend, Kimball. And he doesn't keep kind of a sense. Into the deep end. Yeah. He doesn't even take time. I had a good segue to that. So yesterday morning, I took my son where I take him every Saturday and Sunday to breakfast to Amelia, which is down the street. Yeah. 830 in the morning. He pulls the fire alarm. Oh. Really? Like actually pulled it? He lived. So I was I watched him like very closely. Yeah. And I the waiter like asked me because I know all these people really well been going there forever because I go there every weekend. I used to live next door and go every day. Yeah. And he asked me a question. And he pulls the fire alarm. Full, you know, and a fire truck has to show up. Six fire men have to come in to disarm the fire alarm. So for 25 minutes, I'm the cause of this cost of city 50 grand. No. So I actually heard 25 man. So no, no, I heard. I heard that if you were in the kitchen, because the the guy, no, it was like call the manager immediately. He's like, how do I solve this? He said, if it was in the kitchen, it's a thousand dollar fine. If it's one of house cost of six fire people coming. Sure. 25 grand. Yeah. You call them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you call them, that's like, and it was like build your insurance, that would be the cost. Fair. I have no idea what the number is. But I they all started running in. And I just like was holding Maverick and I was like, dude, he just pulled the fire alarm. I'm sorry. I apologize. Like a hundred. You're a kid. One of the bus. Yeah. Well, you did it. You got to give it a real. He got a little thing in every restaurant and these. I had some do chillers or they're driving around down. You know, people are pulling fire alarms. They got six free lattes. This might because I go this restaurant so they took care of them. Yeah. Because like they're my guys. They were like, don't worry. Don't worry. Yeah. Picture. I wonder how much to have them. You should get a picture. That has to be really common. Yeah. I don't know. I can't believe they've not built technology that has a little camera. Yeah. Especially if it's can millions of smaller restaurants, but like let's say it's a 500 person capacity space. Have a camera. Look around. Phone in. Like that is so inefficient. It's so crazy. Yes. It's so like prehistoric. Think about it. There's not that many firemen available. Yeah. And there's run all over the city because four year olds are pulling alarms. That's crazy. My mom asked me. He's like, how hard is it to pull it out? I was like, I've never pulled a fire alarm. Yeah. I'd assume it's a little friction. Yeah. I don't think you can just like I think it's easy. You think it's easy? No, I don't think it's easy. It must be relatively hard. He's almost five. John. He's a strong guy. It's really easy. I pulled a fire alarm. It's really easy. Why be pulled a fire alarm? It's like it's I've pulled a fire alarm as a four year old. Very, very easy stuff. It's funny. He looked at me. He pulled it. He looked at me like he was so proud because the sound came on. Yeah. And then he realized it was like bad. And I just like, no, and then he got scared and I had to take him out. So. Oh my god. Okay. Well, that's a good testament to why you got to keep your eye on the kids. Yeah. What'd you do for Father's Day? We just chilled. We didn't do much. We hung out around the house and then just went to dinner with my mom and the kids and hung out. Love it. Nothing crazy. What about you? What's your answer to Karin's question? What has surprised you most about being a dad? You're going to age tremendously like being president. You're never going to have a good sleep again. Those two things. It's literally like I was in such deep sleep this morning. And then Dominic walks up to my my face and goes, Dad, want to go play basketball? I'm like, is it seven o'clock yet? And he's like, no. Because in the during the week, I'm up really early, but I was like, whatever, I want to sleep in. Yeah. He's like, I think it's 615. He's like, but I got up at 558. But I waited. It's 615 now. I'm like, we're not getting that 615. It's actually fun. Did you shut him down? I was like, you got to go back and then seven minutes later comes back and that was it. I actually woke up today because I didn't stay up late last night and I woke up and I felt rested. I was like, holy shit. What is this feeling? You feel like you're on fucking steroids. He's going to sleep early. That's the key. Okay. What time do kids go to sleep like seven? Seven. Yeah, seven thirty. You have to go to bed. Super early. Well, happy father's day to all the fathers out there, all the father, Kathy's. Thank you. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. You know, it's funny. Actually, I tweeted something on Twitter today. It's funny because, you know, people will DM me and tell me, come, such a great dad. Really? You have no idea if I'm a good dad judging by what they hear on the podcast? No. I think if you post your kids on social media, they don't think you're a good dad. All you have to do, if you're like a shitty dad, do a couple photoshoot. If you can post, no, it has to be like organic. It cannot be stages. We know you're a bad dad. If you're a post organic, you know, pictures of your kids, like at the park, at this, people think you're the best damn dad. Why do you think that is? It's just because it's like perception perception. You just have like, oh, you're always amazing. If you post nice clothes and fancy cars, people think you're rich. Yeah. Doesn't mean you have any money. Yeah. You can just get pretty easy. It's very easy. If you post, if you're trying to win an award for best dad, if you can just post that like, we're making breakfast. It can just be for yourself. So I could actually speak for like kind of my friends and that are dads. The moms are basically like Michael Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron, and the dads are basically like, just hit the jump shot when they pass it to you. That's it. When you're open, hit the jump shot. I'm not going to try to pretend Father's Day is like, I mean, the moms are the reason why on Father's Day, you can get a resident any restaurant in the city. And in Mother's Day, forget it. It's a month, months booked out. That's true. Hit the jump shot. That's my advice for dads. Yeah. I'll tell you what I was golfing today. And it was pretty empty. So you would think maybe that's what dads were doing? Golfing. Yeah. Yeah. Or they were, you was open. You see any dads? Actually, nobody was there according to Twitter. It was a big flop. That's what I've heard. Well, we're going to talk about it. Yeah. It's also Juneteenth to Morrow. Yes. So we're hoping that they are. Yeah. That's good. Good move. Yeah. Good move on the national holiday. Yeah. I think that makes the impact more. I just wonder if we're going to like talk about it. I'm just curious. I'm curious to see. I know it's kind of new that it's a federal holiday. Just curious how I think it's going to take, be honest, I think it's going to take years of educating people. Like kids who are in school now are getting educated on Juneteenth. Yeah. A 35 year old has no. I think I ever learned it. No, you definitely didn't. Yeah. Right. None of us. So if you think about it from a children's standpoint, they're going to grow up fully aware of the holiday and the significance of it. And then they'll grow up and they'll celebrate it differently. Yeah. You know, it just takes time. I mean, we used to celebrate Christopher Columbus. That guy's a moron. Like the biggest. Is it not a day anymore? Or did we change the name of it? I think it's a ditch indigenous day. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm just curious to see how it evolves. It seems like a new, not often you get a new federal holiday. Yeah. Curious how it evolves. Yeah. I think I think it'll just take all the kids are in school now, like a decade from now as adults. Their view of it will be different because they grew up with it. I agree. Okay. Well, they got two holidays. Yeah. Big. All right. We mentioned golf. Yep. I didn't go. I'm not a very good golf journalist. This feels like the end of our golf content. You think golfins did. I mean, from what I heard, LACC was a disaster. Onan. Onan is our resident journalist. Onan said it was. So I went Friday and it was amazing in the tents. So if you're. That's where the rich people were. Yeah. If you were a member of the tent, if you're, you know, right wing conservative golfer, love. You're in the tent. Yep. You're in the tent. Doves in two different tents. Fantastic experience. They must have been really angry at like just all the diversity. Yeah. Funny. I was at the member. The LACC member tent. My brother-in-law is a member. Yeah. And you know, who's not Indian? I figured. Okay. Yeah. Great food. Great drinks. It's great. You're hanging. Got so many TVs. See, it's not okay. It's okay if you're not woke. There's a nice person. We'll find people. Yeah. Find people on all tents. We're you. So you were, let me just be clear. Were you in a tent with a bunch of rich people watching it on TV? Yes. Even though it was. TV walked the course. No, I did all of it. No, I did. I did everything. But the best part was the tent. Yeah. Behind the summit rope always. The best part is that. And then I got some fan love. Drew and Taylor. Shout out to Drew and Taylor. Drew's a member. Were they in the tent? They were in the tent. They must have discussed it this year. They came out to me. And they were like, I can't believe they let you in here. Yeah. That's what they said. I agree, Drew. Yeah. Clean your shit up. Yeah. So I don't know. In your window was like an Indian guy and brown guy. Why are you here? Or how much shit we talk about on the pot? I think it was the first. I would go at the first. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they're big fans of pod. What did you say was the makeup of the crowd? Crowd. I saw funny pictures. I remember 10 in the 10. No, the member 10. The crowd. Two different crowds. No, I'm talking member 10. What do you think? The member 10. What did they tell you were the caddy? What would they think? How did the caddy get in here? Why is the catering guy? You didn't even wear a polo, right? I did. But it was so freaking humid. I was sweating my. Oh, you conformed. I took off. You conformed. So what'd you have on a t-shirt? Just a black purse. Change purse. They were not happy to see you. And so what was the crowd? The crowd was what you would expect. So any women are just all male. No, tons of women. Okay. Yeah, it's just couples. Old. No, pretty much largely our age. It's just like, husband, wife. I mean, I knew most of them from USA. It's people that I wasn't friends with. Not so fine people on that side, huh? Okay. But the crowd was very different in the 10 versus what was on the course. A lot of bud light. That's life, right? So much bud light on the course. I feel like they were really so much bud light. They're 10 only. Are you serious? swear to God, they're not fighting that shit in there. Come on. Not in the 10. Not in the 10. My 10. My question. But like it's like probably the biggest sponsor of PJ might be everyone's walking around bud lights. They're probably handing it out. There's like, please walk around. Hopefully it ends up on TV. I heard that the crowd was like a lot of the players weren't happy with the crowd. There's like stats like 24,000 tickets were available. I think 14,000 rep up by hospitality, which is corporate people, corporate people. So it doesn't leave that many people left for fans. And then they said that Dan Rappaport on Twitter said that 9,000 was for GA, but 5,000 that was taken over rumored by members. So I will say like it was a hilly, it's a hilly course. It's a tough place to watch a course. Yeah. A lot of walking, a lot of hiking, a lot of walking, a lot of like there weren't that many grandstands, no tiger, no tiger woods, no fill. Carly. Carly was there on Thursday. It's all photo of Charlie there. Who's Charlie? He was playing. No, he was there. This is watching. He's being Charlie. So he's the big star there. Yeah. Also knows real celebrities, huh? Like where's DJ Khaled? No Khaled. Where's the celebrity? The YouTubers? Yeah. No, there was no vibe. Zero vibe, right? Zero vibe. I was just Brian Atlas. We hung out for like an hour and a half at one of the tents. Mr. Exits. Mr. Exits. I feel like H would group should do something. I'd have been saying it. We're on the same page. I bet. Who won? Is Wyndham Clark guy? Wyndham Clark, who no one's heard of? Never heard of. So I walked in on Friday and he was like one of the top guys. I was like, who's Wyndham Clark? I asked like, come people we're with. No one's ever heard of him. That's cool. That's cool. That's a good story. But I'm glad Rory didn't win. Rory was like at his heels. But Rory, why? You just don't like Rory? I mean, after his past conference, why would you like him? He's loaded the biggest pizza. Oh, he's a guy who doesn't like live. I hate live. I hate live. But hey, MBS, let me give me my money. You should have seen the face he just gave me. Fair enough. My biggest problem is the lack of vibe. There was a lot of vibe. Goffins, the coolest thing with young, cool people. You got schoolboy Q. You know what? I was actually thinking like golf has this like pastel, Ralph Lauren polo moment that Kanye created 20 years ago. And they could take advantage of it. They will. This tournament unfortunately was at the wrong country club at the wrong time. But you're in L.A. Like, what are you? I'm sure the next ones in fucking probably like North Carolina somewhere. Well, they're hardly ever in cool cities. Yeah. They're not like PJ tour Miami. Yeah. And if you, I mean, I don't know if you've been there like that, it's honestly the most stunning property in Los Angeles. Yeah. There's a lot of fun stats that came out over the weekend. Joe Pompeiano put out a podcast about the US open. So first, he talked about the LACC. This is the Los Angeles Country Club. $250,000 in initiation fee. No celebrities or social media posts. So depends. So this is where, no, no, it depends on if you want to be a member or if you want to be the equity member. Okay. So the price difference. It's different. Okay. So what's 250? That might be an equity member. Okay. Hope so. Because what would it be more? Yeah. And I'm sure celebrity. They say no. No, they don't like celebrities. What golfing? No, L.A. Country Club doesn't. I know it's like golfing doesn't either. What? I know celebrities in very few. Yeah. Who's this celebrity? Like I said, saying and bleep it. I love that. He's an acceptable celebrity. Yeah. He's very simple. But bleep that. Like that. But I know, I'm saying I know they're very particular. They're obviously our celebrities. Like Jim Nancis's member like all these guys, but they don't want. That's fair. I mean, I'll be honest. In my ranting, like I won't judge LACC or Bel, like if you want to do that, do that. The thing that kills me is that golf as a whole is just so Bible. Well, well, if you want to talk about Bible, let's let's get to this LACC list. It's unbelievable. First of all, if you don't live in Los Angeles, if you live in Los Angeles, you'll notice there just so happens to be just this empty patch of land that no one has access to. Yeah. Basically the most prime part of Beverly Hills. How? What's the financial? 320 acres. What's that worth? Okay. We were debating it. No, so I was actually debating it on the course with some real estate people and the numbers varied. And I know there's some numbers that are on Twitter. Yeah. I'm unclear what the numbers are, but it's literally the most valuable land in the country. One billion dollars. So people think the land according to this Twitter post is worth eight billion. I would argue way more. You think it, but it's also what would it be permitted to? Yeah. Look at where it is. Yeah. Yeah. It would be. I would have to be permitted. It needs to be permitted. How is it going to retail? Like just mixed use. Yeah. If you were to do, if you did the like a version of the grove there, anything, a neighborhood hotels, the grove, anything there would be the most valuable. An amusement park. It could be literally a Disneyland. It could literally put a little Disney. Can I give one more member tent critique? Yeah. Oh boy. Versus in last name. Not a fan. Oh, everyone's in trouble. Well, that's that's like a just corporate white thing. Every corporate white guy. That's because they're asking for the first last name. What? Isn't it kind of like a what's the what's the like? You know, what's motivating you to say your first and last name? Because it's in probably important. They want you to Google them. Yeah. And be like, oh, wow, that guy fucking. Everyone's giving me their first and last name. And I was like, hey, I'm on it. Well, what's funny is, is I go to this all. This all ballet. And it was on the card. Yeah. Like, oh, can you get my bands for me around? Steven Richmond. I don't like the first and last name. It's like a huge pet peeve of mine. Why? I get it. I don't want people. It's Ducy. It's just like white corporate America. It's very much first and last name. I know. I know it is. I've been in this fucking world for 20 years. Yeah. I'm telling you. I hate it. So not everybody's right. I just want to ask you. They go, D and they go, D. What? I go, D. That's it. Yeah. It's over. D's nuts. Yeah. Let's keep it moving. Keep it moving. Steven. So that's your one. Is that your one complaint about? That's your one complaint? No, it's actually, there's another. If I ask anyone about their political beliefs, did you buy your there? No, of course not. No, but it's actually really funny. This is actually a good kind of anecdote. So, you know, my brother-in-law is a member. He had his two member, like, Lanyards. And he gave me, and we were walking in after we watched some holies. Like, you want to grab a drink? You want to grab food? What do you want to do? And we're in the tent. He's like, I was like, I'll grab a drink. And he just hands me a Lanyard. Because you could only pay at the bar with a Lanyard. With your member. I had a member tent. Yeah. Kurt. Yeah. But you needed the member number, right? Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, go grab a drink. I'm going to grab some pizza for us, go grab drinks for us. And I was like, so fucking nervous. To the bar. I was like, they know I'm not a member. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I'm walking up this bar. And I'm just like, oh my god. I hope someone's like, this guy's not a member. His only members have the Lanyard. Yeah. And I was just like, scoping out the bar. That's what I was saying in the last episode about like, it's intimidating. Yeah. I was intimidated. That's why the barrier to entry for this sport is a little shitty. Like, if you come from even me, like, I grew up skateboarding. I wouldn't even have been around some pretty crazy stuff. When I start going to, when I first started going to golf courses, I was legitimately intimidated by all the fucking rules. And like, I don't know if my shirt needs to be tucked in. Wait, what are the rules for like, because I've never been to this one. Here, let me give you some rules. LACC rules. No shorts, tailored pants only, sport coats in the clubhouse after 6 p.m. Oh my god. No changing shoes in the parking lot. No headphones or athletic clothes. No photos or videos of the club on social media. Members can only make phone calls from their park car or phone booth in the locker room. That's unbelievable. And this is my thing again. I just want to clarify. LACC, do whatever you want, it's 250 grand, do whatever you want. The thing that kills me is you go to these smaller public courses and they try to act kind of like that. It's not that strict, but they all have their own little rules. And what's even crazier about this little rule is they're because of their non-profit status. They found some tax loophole that's 45 years old where they only pay a very, very tiny amount of taxes every year when they should be owed, they should be paying 80 million a year. No, no, they're taxed and sent from property taxes. They pay 220,000 total annual taxes. So if it's two billion, eight billion, whatever the course is worth, they don't pay proper tax. What's the nonprofit? All these country clubs are nonprofit. That's wrong, Reagan, baby. Belair. What does that even mean though? But don't you got a not my graph wood, wheelchair, or all nonprofits? What does that mean? This is like when you're in power and your buddy likes to golf, you make up some rules. There's a reason I'm wrong. Reagan is like, if I was president, I'd be like, yeah, all tequila companies are not profit. Fuck it. Ronald Reagan is crazy. I like to do. He told the government like, no, I like this course. Yeah. No taxes. He liked a lot of courses because most of the courses are not profit. Because there's a lot of profit being had. If you're the only one that can relate to that, I think the only reason the Saudis would own it in two weeks. I know I actually was going to text you like, don't come because I know you. And you would have hated it. I kind of hated it. And I was like, the only reason to go is to see how insane this property is. Which I mean, thanks to you. And you'll never see it again. And then I can get back. They know your face now. They discussed it. They said, fool me once. I love you. You and Taylor aren't going to bite me. And Taylor, have you want to list somewhere? Well, thanks to you, I'm supposed to go play it in like a month. Yeah. So I'll see it. But that's why I bailed. I mean, I had some stuff to do. But I just figured like, all I'm doing is going there to see how ridiculous it is. It's insane. And please do the North course because I was told by golfer, the North courses where serious golfers go, the South course isn't. Sounds like I'm a North course type of guy. So general pub. What was your tip? How do you end? You're definitely not the class as a, as a non-rich brown male had a very different experience. Okay. Oh, you didn't get to the tent. No, no. God, no. Did you even get on? Did you were able to touch grass? Okay. So there's no one there. So yes. I was like, okay. So here's the situation. So I mind you, I, the only other golf situation I've been in was waste management, like three times. So that's what I was thinking. Maybe like a little more dialed down. The Saudis are in here. We're, we're going to be right here. So we're pretty gaming hard. House music, DJ. Oh, no. No, I wore the polo and I wore the hat. Then you just hit a fucking wall. I walk in there. Well, I was very respectful up until I got inside. And I just let it go. I was happy. Be this happy. Be like, like, and there was a drink called transfusion. I'm like, give me a tranny in my mouth. I'm going to get it. I'm yelling at it. And it wasn't the vibe. Like no one was, no one was feeling it. It was not. It was like, okay, it's early. It's early. Like, this is what day Saturday, what time do you go? Uh, I got there, probably like noon, maybe. Okay. Not that early. Well, yeah, it felt early, but it never really got more packed in that. And first of all, my buddies, this was a mistake of mine. They love golf. So they knew everyone's name. They were following them around. I just wanted to get wasted and like, have a good time. We're following Colin. We're following Brooks. Big Dick Rick. Like, all these guys. Big Dick Rick. That's, he's a big dick. Rick is connected to VDR. Yeah. I was yelling. No, no, no, no, no. I was yelling. First of all, the course is ass. It's like, Ikea, you can't move around like you get lost. Yeah, it's tough. Of course. What about, uh, how was the babes in your babes for you? Yeah, but they all had dudes. Obviously, okay. But they were looking good. Yeah, I think you're a single babe in the city. Probably a good place to go hang out. Yeah. Yeah. You're trying to find a rich polo wearing. It definitely in the tent. I would assume the crowd was a little. But can the tents and the other areas mingle? No, no, no. Like if there was a girl that wasn't at the tent, can someone at the tent even see her? Yeah, you should be right in the tent. It's just gonna work that way. There's 12 hours to jam. That was the jam. But the course, it's all the beautiful. It's all the beautiful. I mean, like the 12th held sweet tent. That means. That's the spot. Atlas, sack, white, or the friend Rohan Shah. We all hung out for like an hour and a half. It was fun. Not gonna lie. It's fun. But you didn't get to experience that part. But I did like take it all in and like it actually is like a beautiful, like I was non-golfery. It's like a beautiful course. Like, but it's a young guy that likes to have fun and knows what fun looks like. That would you recommend? No, definitely not. What I missed because that's the problem. If you could convince the Javier demo that that was a fun experience. Yeah. 10,000 kids would show up for the next one. They're the ones that are golfing. That's all of like Mulbond. Yeah. It's all those kids. Is that what they want? Do they want a big turnout? Of course, it's about money. At the end of the day, like, they don't need electricity, doesn't it? And it's about like kind of engagement. Like, how do you get some like Javier to be like, oh, I want to play golf. But I don't think that's what they want. I think they want, I think sitting in the PGA. They're like Javier. How can we get you to service drinks? I don't think they're thinking how do we get Javier? We can't like Puerto Rida at the tent. Well, next year, I'm just making it. Yeah, someone who doesn't really know anything about golf, like the fact that I could have like, I walked up like on like whole whatever and was feet away from like. And it wasn't like overly crowded? No. That's fast. It was a big cultural mess. If I have to say because this is obviously a massive tournament. Yeah. And I went to the Pebble Beach, U.S. Open in 2019, I think. And that felt awesome. And they just missed it. How was waste management? But insane. See, waste management. Like, you have like 70 year olds like getting carried out because they're like vomiting on themselves. I love it. We had 10 dudes when male rompers, all different patterns. I love it. And we weren't even like the craziest ones. Yeah. There was like, yeah, it's insane. It's very, you know what it is, no matter the demographic and the age, waste management, people came to have fun. Like fun is the number one priority, not upholding tradition. But that's the way any other sporting event you go to, it's designed for fun. Yes. It's entertainment. You are to have fun. All the sports, especially golf, it's not real. Yeah. Well, look at this fake. In the sense that, we know what the golfers are actually doing. Why are we pretending? Yeah. What are they doing? I mean, they're doing. What have in the boys are doing? Yeah. That's true. Like, that's also like everyone, like as I was like yelling all these, like, you know, heinous things, like everyone was like laugh, like kind of under there. Like, you can see like the pocket of the boys, like random boys. Like, they fucked with me, but like they couldn't show it. Yeah. They're just all being like closeted. That's the problem. I'm like, you know what's happening, boy? There was a whole, uh, where they do like closet boys. Yeah, that's what I'm sure the boys there. And it was can't make a lot of other things. Be now and uh, speed and my brother-in-law, he doesn't give a fuck. He's actually a member and he's just like, let's go. I'm a big fan. Yeah. He's like being normal. And the golfers like looking at it like, they want that. They want that. They're athletes. They have fun. We know what they do. Yes. They live just like any other athlete. Yeah, they want. Probably more because you can probably party harder and still golf. Yeah. I mean, we know my coach is hammering out. What are they doing last night? They're at the wall door. Just getting hammered. Hammered. There's this, uh, Korean dude, I started following. I think he's named Michael Kim. He's like a guy on the PJ tour. And he kind of gives like the background of the course and whatever. I just started following one Thursday. He's chill. He's just like, yeah, but you know, just like talking about the experience. I think, I mean, I still feel golf has such a massive opportunity. Yeah. It's like, if I'm running the PGA, I go and get someone from Nike and I go get someone from TikTok. And I'm like, figure this shit out. Yeah. Like we're on the cusp. I believe golf because of the nature of the sport that it's not like physically hard. Yeah. It's, it's, it's just not. So no, but I think it's really demanding. The biggest sport in America. So I think I'm pretty big. Realization in this tournament because I'm, we play tennis growing up. Yeah. And I've seen live tennis really up close. And it's impossible. I think golf is similar because I don't play golf. So I can't appreciate it. But when I see tennis up close from the professional level, I'm like, I cannot believe you guys can get the ball this hard. I can't believe it. That's how pro golf is too. It's just that you can play. So golf is very, very, very hard, but it's not physically demanding. Yeah. Everyone I know drinks every time we golf. What other sport is someone having a beer or a box? You can do anything else. You cannot drink and do anything else. And I mean, you can, you can shoot 40 over par and still have fun. But here's the thing is, you don't have fun if you're that bad. So here's the, it's the only place. No, my boy. Where is the appreciation of the professional level? So that's what I'm saying. But even because I don't golf, I don't appreciate when Fina was hitting like a fucking... You're right. You know, a hundred and eighty drops. But when I see Nadal hit a forehand, I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, but there's a thing. The beautiful thing about golf is like, even take like a couple. You don't have to be at the same level. Yeah. Like the woman could be better than men could be better. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Even with your friends, you could be 30 over and your friend could be part. You could still play with them. Yeah. No other sport can a shitty person play with a good person. Yeah. And no other sport can you suck so bad and still... Have a good time. Kind of have a good time, you know what I mean? Why is it... Why are you still having a good time? You're drinking. You're drinking. And it's also just like... I don't know, like even if you hit the ball and you hit it bad, but it goes 20 feet ahead, it still went ahead and you walk up and you hit it again. Where it's tennis, like if you're hitting the net or basketball, you're just missing the basket. It's miserable. It's miserable, it's unplayable. But with golf, as long as you can kind of move the ball forward, people keep coming back. I was at Yellowstone driving the golf court, not playing. Yeah. And I had a blast because there's the hidden whiskey, you know, tent. Yeah. And you'd go drink a whiskey. It's fun. It's drinking the drink as a sport ever. It's just I think they might fumble it. My question is, when has there been a new sport invented? Pick a ball. Pick a ball. Pick a ball. When was that invented? It actually was invented a very long time ago. Yeah, that sounds old. Yeah, but it just caught on. It became a popular obscurity. Yeah. But if you want to work on one, I mean, maybe Vince. Yeah. Well, you really need a ball, some sort of place to like throw it. Either a net, a ball. Yeah, and the boys. Maybe a stick and the boys. He's going to introduce alcohol to it. Yeah, cool. But anyway, I think they're, my passion is because I think they're going to fumble the biggest opportunity. And seeing what happened, what it sounds like, what happened at LACC this weekend, it just looks like a fumble back in 2039. What is? That's what we got back in LA. Oh my gosh. So we got another shot. 2039. Yes, what is that? 16 years. That's why we have another shot. Yeah, so more and likely. And until then, it's in like Virginia and North Carolina. Yeah. If it's in Pebble Beach, we should go. That was awesome. Why do you think that was more fun than LACC? You have the ocean on the course. It's just beautiful. It's just his ocean is more fun. I was also with the, you know, shout out Ryan Braun. He got me with some golf royalty. We were. Well, that's why you're in the members 10. Yeah, this guy's just from one member's 10 to another. Yeah. Yeah, he's there pitting me of liberal elite. He's on here being woke on him. But literally, you know, on the weekends, he's in the members. He doesn't have to feel, deal with reality. We were in houses. He doesn't know reality lives. He's going for members 10 to Pebble Beach on a private plane. It was a private plane too. It was a private plane too. It was a private plane too. You're the only one. It's definitely the next topic. You're not working there. You're not working there. Okay, we ready for some news? Yes. Well, one more kind of golf adjacent, Michael Jordan is a big golfer. He has sold his Hornets, Charlotte Hornets, yeah. So I've been told on pretty good account that, you know, the number that he bought the Hornets for, they claim 275, I've seen it in 185. I don't know what the actual number is. But I think at the time when he bought it, he was, what I've been told, you can obviously factor. You heard this in the members 10, didn't you? Yeah, this is very members 10. Members 10. This is members 10. Members 10 info. We need a members 10 t-shirt. Yeah, we do. He may have put 10 to 20 million of his own cash and everything else was levered. Really? Was he, how much did he own? The whole team. He was 100% owner? Yeah. I'm sure, I mean, look, I bet you that that's what I was told. And then he sold 50% of his stake to the D1 guys. They're a hedge fund in New York a couple of years ago. So I think he cleared a billion there. Jesus. And then he's going to clear another billion now. So put in 10 million. If this is right, members 10 is accurate. 10 million investment. 10 to 20. Call it 10 to 20. I don't think it exceeds 20, to be honest. I'm like, actually, serious. Two billion return. Yeah. So yeah, I'm sure the NBA wanted him to own a team. Every bank will give him the money. So they're just like, whatever, what do you got? What do you want to put up? Yeah, members 10. So that's what I've been told. So it sounds even even balance. Even 20,000, two billion. There's no reason that I'm very surprised he sold the team. I think that knows that this is done. What's done? What? The meteorites are done. I've been saying this for like last 12 months of this podcast. They're going to get the next meteorites. The next meteorites aren't going to happen, but he doesn't technically. Everyone's telling I know on fact every minority owner of the Golden State Warriors is trying to sell their stake at a six billion dollar value. Can you explain what's happening? Why? What's happening to the meteorites? Meaning that no one's watching. NBA is done. Not like sports. No one's watching. So you're saying the next round of deals are going to be carved out? They're going to get this one. So like, whatever is going to sign in like 12 months or whatever, they're going to get this some like insane number. And then everyone's going to realize like, oh, no one's watching this fucking sport. Why would I buy this team? Everyone I literally every Golden State minority owner is trying to sell their stake right now. I know this for a fact. Also, members tent. This guy, members tent. Peace. Yeah. Members tent journalists. You should start a blog called the members tent. It's just all, you know, you don't rat anyone out, but it's just things you're hearing in the members tent. Yeah. And then you got to go from members tent to members tent. I actually heard this on the members tent. What's on in 10 more longer than I'm. I'm never listening to word he says. That's the ultimate members tent. Okay, well, that would make sense. He knows I get two billion and walk away. Yeah, I don't know the golf course. For him, but for him, he's got the most predictable cash flow for eternity. Agreed. This is a joint idea of a signal to the NBA that Michael Jordan's like, I'm good. I don't want to be part of this. Yeah, but what do you do? I mean, you could do for them, but I'm saying if you're the NBA, you take the signal, but what do you do? You're like, yeah, we know. I don't think I don't think they know. I actually don't think I think they're delusional. Yeah, I think players and because most owners are pretty, you know, if you if you looked at like we talked about Nicole Yoatskitsch, he doesn't give a shit about the NBA. Yeah, he doesn't. He said in his post championship conference, he was like, yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, like I don't care. This isn't my job. This is a this is a job. I'm not like obsessed with it. He said that. What do you think is causing? Is it like the schedule or the? I think it's too much money. They make too much money. What causes a viewership to be so bad? Oh, because no, because it's also a tension span. No one wants to watch four quarters of a two and a half hour. That'd be incorrect because football, which is four hours long, has had record ratings this season. I think I look at it again. If you actually broke down to a cultural thing, when I talked about it, right? What? That's 12 games. This is a two. 16. No, and if all 16, this and the college is 12. Yeah, but if you think about the number of games that people watch, a football 82 games is too much. Yeah, so I think 82 is one. They do have a political issue. 100%. They have to revert back to the mean on that. Do woke? Yeah, of course. Like, I don't know if you can be objective on it, but like it is, if you talk to like older white males, and I speak to, that's what I deal with all day. Those are your people. Those are my people. They are, they don't watch the basketball anymore. They, even I tell them, I'm like, it's not political, what you think it was. Yeah. Like three years ago, I get it. I mean, Yo Kitch is a Serbian guy. He's the, I know, but the fake, no, he's not the face of the league. You know for a fact, LeBron is the face of the league, and LeBron is a very polarizing figure. Fine. Yes. And until I actually think when he leaves, it'll attract me. I think when, I mean, I actually think when LeBron and stuff leave, the leagues over, I disagree. I actually think there'll be a new, I mean, you have the, the rainy NBA champion saying he thinks it's a job and he doesn't care about the game. He said that's not a great look for it. It's not a great look, but I have, you know, every time people count things out, new things come about. Yeah. Like, if I was going to count on any sport, or count on tennis, like, I mean, we already said that. It's definitely, yeah. It's not even US sport. Yeah. It's on US sport. In America, I would count on tennis. There's no chance. It's already been counted out. Yeah. US, I mean, it's a lot of time to come out. The NBA at least has global appeal, where, yeah, sure, Joe Kitch may not care, but guess what? Everyone in Eastern Europe cares. Probably that. But you can't monetize them. We've already already talked about that. There's some rights you can monetize. No, you can't monetize them like the US audience. You're the biggest proponent of that. Yeah, I do believe that, but I think just to make stay flat, I don't think you grow. I don't think you grow at all. I think you decline and the actual product on a dollar basis per game declines. There's no way the NBA doesn't decline. And this is why every Golden State we're here owner is trying to sell. They are a bad team. No, but they know they know they know it's a peak. Yeah, it's a peak. Yeah, I any other teams do enough, because it would make sense if I was a Golden State owner that the party's over. No one in there. Those guys are pretty smart. Yeah. You know who those owners are? Yeah, but their team, you know, they had a good run and I'll tell you what. They're guys leaving. Stuff's not leaving, but anybody's got, what do you got three years left? Three years left. He's done. Braemon's leaving, right? Yeah, they're all, they're all over. The team's over, but I get it. So what do you do? Basketball's going to be smaller. There's that. I think basketball should be a smaller, revenue-generating sport, and all the franchise values are going to be lower. And everyone's trying to sell right now, because they know it's going to be lower. Michael Jordan's a fucking genius. He's selling at the top. This is the top. What's hot football? Football is never going to be bigger. It's never going to be bigger. Maybe I'll let him tackle each other. I think it's going to be bigger. No, I'm saying it's always going to be bigger. That's my point. I can't see a world where the NFL is even bigger the next 10 years. No, I think the Broncos sold for six billion. They probably should sell for 12. Do you think it's because it's a super bowl? Like, is it because they have the performances and line people to win? No, it's the entire season. It's the violin. It's flawless. Americans love fucking the violin. No, but they should let them fight a little like hockey in the NBA. The thing about football is, ratings will go through the rules. Can you do this? No, what's the difference? Gambling and fantasy. It's really nice. It's so big. The other part is like, by the way, I don't gamble anymore and I watch more football than ever. When you turn on NBC, Sunday night football, the level of entertainment value they provide. Yeah, once out, Michael says, welcome to Green Bay. I know you have children. Every Sunday, you're 16 weeks. I was like, oh, my God. I was just kidding. No, ECB watching you. Yes. He's not wrong. He's not wrong. That excitement for even on Sunday nights. Okay, the games ended four. Okay, basically four, 15. Four o'clock NBC, they started doing the highlights to lead up for the five, 15 kickoff or whatever. That one hour of just, by the way, I watched all the games for the whole day. Yeah. I'm glued to that one hour of recaps. And it feels completely absolved from all of this. Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Because this is what I noticed. I watched, I really turned into the NBA finals, right? And I don't watch him basketball really at all. One thing that I noticed as a viewer that sort of came in, you know, out of nowhere. Is it seems really, really, I was joking about letting him fist fight, but it seems very soft, like what they call as fowls. And like it just seems like everyone's flopping. It just doesn't seem very, like, intense. And I know I'm used to be. That's a nature of the, because look, the reality is is, fans love high scoring games. Yeah. And so they're just, they're building the, but fans love a good elbow here and there too. Fans love a lot of points. Three pointer is points. So you think that's the reason why they do it? Yes, 100%. Because it seems like, yeah, it seems like disrupt the, like every, every drive is a foul. Unless you shoot a three pointer and sometimes on that too, it's a foul. Yeah, every time. That's what turns me off about sports is how long it takes. Like all the fowls and the breaks. Well, I mean, most people can't just watch the highlights on part of. Yeah, that's a thing. Exactly. That's why I'm saying the meteorites are going to be terrible the next round. Everyone's going to duped because everyone still goes to the. Upfronts and spends 10 billion dollars. Yeah. On all these. To my. Oh, no. Big farm. My farm. Get the boost. Farm. What's up with your guy? RFK. Get the boost. Are we going to get into RFK? We can do a little RFK. Come on, a little RFK. And look, a full distance to it. Full disclosure, we weren't going to do RFK because DNI have not listened to the. I've listened to the full through enough hours. You know what I love about on it is like he, is that he's at the tent and he listens to Joe Rogan? Yes, yes. And but everything that he hates, he watches. Yeah. So because you also watched, well, I forget there was something else the other day. You used to watch every single Trump speech. Front to back. Oh, the 230. Yes. The 230. You can assume what you hate, which is probably a lot of the viewers. But DNI did not listen to RFK on Rogan. Apparently the internet is going crazy about it. Crazy. On and did. And so we were going to wait so that we could maybe like rebuttal and call him. I'm not going to listen to three and a half hours, but you would have. So I would have waited. I bailed. I bailed. Yeah. But I could but or we can just talk about it now. Give us a preview. So I think that happy. RFK is hot. So I think. Fire. Yeah. So I think a lot of the independent thinkers. So I'm going to put those in quotes. Have all jumped on the RFK bandwagon. And like who can you just just the Rogan's the no David Sacks. Shema Paulia Patia. They did a fundraiser three days ago. But a lot of the like podcasters. A lot of customers. So Rogan Rogan is not supporting. He's not supporting. He just had him on his platform. He hasn't said who's going to vote for it. He's been pretty supportive though. But he's not saying because even I follow him on Twitter. He's not saying he like. He just is trying to get the discussion going. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, he's supportive, but maybe not supporting. So I listened to the entire three and a half hours. And I was actually texting trauma like 11 p.m. on Thursday night. I loved it. I loved it. I was texting at 11 p.m. You were fired up. That three hours just finished. You started 8 a.m. I was texting it. I was like, did you listen to this? Yeah. So here's my point. Two and a half hours of the podcast. I believe was just on the code vaccine. Which I don't care. I don't want to litigate that anymore. We've all talked about that at. At nausea, but okay, separate from RFK. What's your opinion on it? Do you think we rushed it or not? No, I think it reduced mortality. So mortality. So I don't think any next sense. So the problem I had was the last hour. What's he was talking about? The vaccines that kids have that all of our kids, your kids, my kids, hepatitis, polio, de-tap, like all of them. And he said there's this massive increase in autism and massive increase in crippling diseases. Recently. And he said, when I was, what is the RFK's probably like 68? Yeah, I think. He's like, when I was growing up, I didn't see any autistic kids. I didn't see any crippling. That's such bullshit. Because kids weren't diagnosed with these diseases. If you look at the only reason human or American US mortality rate has decreased in the last six years is because of infant mortality has decreased. That's the only reason. And it's because we have vaccines for all these things. And then he, if you look at all his other data, he talks about how he believes Bill Gates is putting 5G chips in everyone. I mean, he said that. Don't we all? Yes. Not on Joe Rogan's podcast, but he said that on another podcast. He said Wi-Fi causes cancer. We all have Wi-Fi. So we're all getting cancer, right? Uh-huh. That will get left to see. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I don't know yet. I have a giant check for that. I take some time. So I think he said so much crazy shit on the podcast. And, you know, I'm a big Joe Reagan fan. As you know, I think he was saying so much crazy shit that Joe Rogan and Jamie, didn't he have time to like, fact check it? Because they just let him go or how they treated it. They let him go, but they were like, this is so crazy. How do we like fact check the crazy? Yeah. And then he would, and the fact check was a site that he actually is a part of. Yeah. Did they disclose that? Yeah. They didn't. No, afterwards they did. No, they didn't. No, but they didn't. No, the internet did. Yeah. Well, um, wow. Interesting. Look at that. He doesn't have your vote. Here's, here's what I think. I think this is the problem. And it's funny. Derek Thompson actually tweeted this from the Atlantic. He's like, I think it's so funny. All these internet billionaires. Chimath, David Sachs, and all these guys are supporting RFK. Yeah. And he's saying, my fight calls is cancer. Yeah. So where do you, where do you guys? Yeah, but I mean, we could, if you're going to take a hypocrisy, we can go down every politician. And you're, you're a new best candidate. Gavin Newsom is the biggest full chef. I love Gavin Newsom. Yeah. That's the news. That's my god. You mean that? Yeah, he's very good. He's your new booted. Because he had one good interview with fucking. Gavin Newsom is my guy. After what we've been through here in California, it's actually a terrible governor. Yeah. Gavin Newsom is my guy. He's on it though. He's asking everyone up while he's at French London. Yes. So get that. Exactly. He's on it. He's on it. He's on it. He's on it. He's on it. If you look at the history of Gavin Newsom as a person, he is entire life has been groomed to be president of the United States. Yeah. Literally. He looks like it. He is literally groomed. Like that. He looks like he's made in a president. He looks like he should be a West Wing. Yeah. He looks like an actor. He looks like to be playing president. He looks like an actor. He was his whole background who he's married to. Like if you start, you want to go down a whole of conspiracy. I love Gavin. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I mean, I love. We will do a whole proper Gavin Newsom breakdown on his life and his wife and who his family is. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Wow. It just, but I think it's so, I think with our taking, no, the arcade thing is so, like the people that are supporting him are actually intelligent folks. No, but you're missing, because you're, you're, you're very fixated on the vaccine thing. No, I don't care about the vaccine. But here's the thing that's, this is the president. That's chips. Bill Gates chips. I know, but here's the thing that's had chips. Do you, okay, let's, let's, let's, let's take a vaccine. No, take that out. Okay. The biggest thing that he talks about is big pharma. Do you think there's a big problem with big pharma being the biggest, most influential thing in politics and advertising? That does feel weird. Can you objectively say that's weird? Objectively, I agree. But what he says is out of your fucking mind. I know, but if you look at from the objective standpoint of the average American and you start looking at, I, until whatever RFK podcast he did, I really wish you guys listened to the RFK Joe Rogan before you guys commented. I know, I know, that's why it's quiet, because I don't really know it. But here's, here's why I see why people, I have to have an opinion. People are hopping onto is really around the big pharma thing. And if you objectively watch like the NBA Finals and you saw just the ad, yeah, you could say like, this kind of feels fishy. Like why is that? So I think there are two things to be true. Two things to be true. RFK can be batched crazy. And we need to investigate why big pharma has so much influence in our country. We don't need to investigate, we know. Like Gavin, maybe Gavin just got to pick up that issue. Yeah, Mike, I got it, by the way, big pharma. Yeah, Alan's vote. Yeah, the thing is this big pharma is also the biggest lobbyist. So no one's picking it up. RFK is such a like a rogue human being that like, yeah. I really want you guys to listen to it, because if you guys listen to it. I know, I want to like engage, I want to argue right now, but I don't feel confident enough about it. Is I listen to the whole thing? Yeah, he's texting drama. Yeah. I don't know my take. I'll give you my honest take, but I don't know what it is. Was there anything about him that you like? I think he does a good job on a, if you kind of think about broadly, that pharma has a big take on political opinion. What does that mean? Meaning, pharma influences how politicians make decisions. That's true companies. Yeah, that's true. I'm not saying that's not true. I'm not a fucking moron. I know that's true. Yeah, so you like that part. I don't say I like that part, but I'm saying I know that's true. Was there anything about him that you liked though? Honestly? Yeah, and so if not. I don't think so. Well. And you know me drama. I forget D, D stay out of this. Yeah, let's do it. What is it mean? Me and John, you know, I'm a pretty open-minded guy. Sometimes, sometimes I feel like you're gotten a little woke lately and you're a little, there's some areas there, but I'm very like open-minded about like these, like, I just don't know until I listen to it. And I would love to be like, no on and you're ridiculous, this, that, whatever. But I haven't even listened to enough RFK to feel like, here's the problem. Is that the, where the RFK argument is going south for super liberal people is, it's just like not questioning anything is also fucking dumb. And so that's the problem is that, so here's what I think is actually gonna happen. RFK is kind of this polarizing figure is gonna come and go politically. Like, it's a good, I mean, there's one poll that's always polling above Biden. If he's actually in the hunt for the Democratic nomination, I think Democrats are toast. They're lose 100% because everything he's saying, a conservative candidate can take and run with it and become president. So I actually tweeted this because RFK talked about this on Joe Rogan's podcast and he talked about how the traditional vaccines cause autism. And I made it very clear because I have a kid who's been diagnosed with autism at age of two and I've, he's had three brain surgery. So I'm very like, neurologically informed. How the brain works. And neurologists will admittedly tell you, they don't know much about the brain, but they will also tell you that you can't understand anything that's going on the brain, which is what causes autism, unless you resect tissue out of a living children's kid and do a biopsy. Yeah. So how many parents are gonna be willing to let their healthy children there have no autism and the autistic kids and ever resects tissue and we test it. Because you said that's what we take to tell if vaccines are causing it, is that what you're saying? No, but no, that's what RFK is claiming. He's claiming mercury is dislodged in the brain and the only way you could do that if you resect the tissue. I just, I'm so in over my, I don't know. You got to, you got to listen. Can you listen by when I say? I'll listen. Okay. You said that. I don't want him to listen just. He can listen, but that's what he said. I just want to see what my take is. Yeah. Cause maybe I might be able to point out like, well, he technically said that who knows. And then he said, I would love to do that. And I was like, okay, so let's take it. Let's take, let's take your kid D and you put your kid in trial. He said, you're a healthy, five year old Dominic. Yeah. Let's resect a quarter of his brain and see what it is. Let's just call it. I don't know. Good question. A little resection might not be so bad. I did guarantee Harvard, pay for his college. I just want to argue so bad right now, but I can't. I don't have any. My question, my question though is, why does anyone like care about his opinion right now? Because here's the thing. Is it just because of his last name? No. No, he's right. It's about to be a presidential election. So why is he even a candidate to president? He is. I mean, he's actually very charismatic and he's a good speaker. What are his credentials? He's actually been a like very active attorney in a lot of like environmental and like, he's a pretty liberal guy by nature. He's been, I mean, his family is basically the most iconic family in American politics. And he's been like a freedom fighter type guy his whole career. And so for him, for him to want to run for president is kind of like idiotic in my opinion, given where he sits in the landscape of life. He's an older guy. He's kind of quietly done well. Plus that I mean this, I'm not joking, but like the history of what politics has done to his family members. No, he'll death. Why would you ever want to do that? Death. How would you see that? Like, sigh me. No, it's a great point. I want to actually call one more bullshit because Joe Rogan tweeted $100,000 for someone to debate me or debate the lawyer. They mean that the doctor, the doctor, and then, you know, there's like $8,000, $2,000. Now, yeah, whatever, $2,000,000. Let me tell you firsthand, I've dealt with the foremost neurologist in the country in the last four years. They do not have the demeanor or the ability to go on a podcast like Joe Rogan. Yeah. To debate. They, if you're a university research hospital doctor, you should be like, there's kind of social skills or whatever you want to call it. No, but they forfeited the ability to make way more money because they care about their craft. Yeah. I did not. But what? No. Is that a fair question? Why is that funny? I don't know. I don't know why you're so busy working to be talking about it. No, my point is like, if you decide to be a neurological surgeon, neurologist at UCLA, you have forfeited millions of dollars because you care about research, you care about solving a problem, and you have a different mission in your life. But you're saying, so what are you saying is that? You can't be incorrect. No. You can't be incorrect. But what do you say? My point is they don't have that mentality to go on a Joe Rogan podcast and debate. That's not their personality. But it's such a good opportunity though. No, my point is they don't have the fucking social skills to do it. Yeah. You say they'll just get ran off as they do though. Some do, but not the best. That's my point. That's a bummer though. Yeah, I don't think you're wrong, but that sucks. No, I'm 100% sure because look, I've been in the fucking hospital for four years. You have seven doctors that come in at the morning after your kid is fucking admitted. And they have terrible bedside manners. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't know how to talk. Doesn't make them terrible, they're fucking geniuses. They just go back to the lab and say, here's a part of this in this climate articulating your mission is equally as important. But I didn't agree with that. But on the point, my point is you're going to get the worst people. Yeah, I know, but that's unfortunate. Because the smartest people don't give a shit. They don't want to go on the show, Rogan. They don't want to debate fucking, but that's how far off kids are. But that's what Donald Trump's president. Yeah, exactly. That's a great, that's why we get Donald Trump as a president. Because I know the smartest fucking people don't deal with this shit. I know. Then they lose power. I don't think he's wrong, but I think that that's a bummer that you're right because that's how you do it. It doesn't help their cause. It doesn't help their cause. You have to be able to. It's cause. You have to be eight. No, the doctor's cause. The doctor has a mission. If you actually believe something and want something to happen, you have, put it like this. The best CEOs in the world. This will also happen in the last two years where you have to deal with this shit. Even if you take the CEOs, the smartest people in the world are not the most successful people. We know that. It's like the founders that know how to articulate a mission that are able to fundraise, that able to get the IPO, that able to get the stock price up. It's Tim Cook, the most revolutionary CEO ever. No, but he is the most successful one. And it just part of the mission. No, I think it's a problem in our society that that's what we reward. Yeah. I agree. I agree. But there's no solution for that. There's no solution for that. I actually believe wholeheartedly, the smartest people in the world are heads down just solving shit. Yeah. I agree. But the problem is if your Joe Rogan is the biggest media platform that exists, someone not showing up or a bozo showing up is gonna look like, I don't know, maybe the wrong information is right or maybe RFK is right when he shouldn't be right. That's gonna be the public opinion. And it's a bummer that our smart people gain steam is because I also think Twitter's not real world. So I think all of this is like kind of public opinion. I'm guessing those RFK clips are gonna end up on every news channel and then a gain steam. I thought Twitter was the wrong followers than Andrew Yang already. And Andrew Yang was like kind of a lightning in the bottom of it. And you can get through like, I know, but I think this is where a year away from an election. RFK can gain steam in a year. Yeah. Look, if on the Democrats, at least, because he's running as a Democrat, so you have to address it, you can't ignore it. Here's my dream situation, that he just caused a little bit of a shift. He doesn't win, but he caused a little bit of a shift that maybe we'll start questioning some more things. And then someone, I don't know who is in line, but responsible and great wins. But we get, sounds like we got on and told me Gavin or... I would love to trail back to some COVID episodes, but on and talking about Gavin Newsom. I love Gavin. Yeah, scumbags. We knew some sound bites from about two years ago. Why do you love Gavin so much? I think he had a good interview with Sean. He had one good interview and all of a sudden, he's like Dee with sports. Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, all the last game. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. Yeah, and once the skeletons come out, he looks presidential. He looks like the character. Yeah. I get it. I get it. That's not what you just said is he looks the part, but I don't know that his actual competence level. Yeah, that's what, that's, it's the same thing. For the doctor, if you can't go and debate, then you ain't gonna get any policies changed. But I know Gavin, I know Gavin has. No, he talks about him now. Yeah. One interview, he's like, no, I know Gavin, he wouldn't do that. He's, Gavin is, I know I'm the biggest full of shit person and Bob. What the fuck is three? Gavin's got my vote. I might show up to a fundraiser. Well, look, your political backing has not been so hot. Your rap music early, where you have Buttigieg? That was your guy. Yeah, he had Buttigieg. That guy went on Buttigieg. He's probably the worst politician ever. Yeah, yeah. So that might be good. Yeah. He might just tank Gavin with his, like the Drake Curse. Looks like R.O.K.'s president. We getting another Kennedy in the White House. Oh my gosh. iPhone sales, not, not hot. iPhone sales quarter over quarter have tumbled 27.5%. 11.9% year over year. The stock is at a 52 week cut all time high. Sure, sure, sure. Why not? Why wouldn't it be? And so if Apple is seeing sales tumble, that's the real marker of the economy. To me, that's it. Yeah. Damn. It is Apple. They're the one company that has been indestructible. Cause it's sort of like, it should think about it this way. If there's one item that's $1,000 that every American has to have. Yeah. You can judge the power of the economy by how many of those people are buying. Yes. And I, this weekend was my first weekend, where I, you know, obviously, I've been claiming recession for a while, but I physically got to experience it. What'd you see? Well, you went to the beach, no one was there. No one was at the beach. And that's free. Yeah. That's a bad sign. Yeah. I went to the free beach and no one was there. Yeah. L.A.C.C. Empty. Saturday. Yeah. No one's had to sign. Sure. That's what they want you to think. Yeah. Saturday, like, 230, we had no plans. And my wife, Haley, was like, what do you want to go for dinner? What do you want to, should we cook food? I was like, we had been eating at home for a while. So I was like, oh, let's go out to eat, like, whatever. And we normally, twice a year, we at Little Doms, because that's where Haley and I had our first date, and it's where Dominic got his name. And I was like, you know, it's a pretty hard restaurant. I don't know anyone there. So it's just like Rezzi. Yeah. Pretty hard. Like, we usually make it a week out, two weeks out, to make a Rez. Yeah. I go on the app, Rezzi, and I'm just like, clicking 5 p.m. for people, what's available. And it's at 5.15, Little Doms. Huh. OK, click it. Got the Rez, go. And when I, we left at like 6.30, yeah. There were still a lot of tables available. And normally, 5.15, we usually get a table anywhere, because no one wants to eat then. But you eat dinner at 5.15. Yeah. Today, 4.45. Wow. And then that's it. Are you done for the day? Yeah. What time do you go to sleep? Uh, between 9 and 10. Not bad. OK, any other indicators or Little Doms. So when I saw that restaurant kind of empty for the first time, you were alarmed. And then I saw the iPhone sales thing. And then, generally speaking, restaurants that I'll look on open table and Rezzi, I see they're available. Like they're normally very, very busy, hard to get reservations. And so, but if you look at the, particularly the seven stocks of the last six months, meaning Apple and video, Facebook, those companies, they're all at record highs. And at some point, we talked about how that's not really a change of reality anymore. But the fact that iPhone sales are tumbling, I know. But also, don't you think what part, I think there has to be a percentage of that is lack of innovation. Yes, I was going to say that. Why get a new phone anymore since, I don't know what we're on, but since the 10, let's say, don't you think lack of innovation is a factor? So they said, this is the lowest shipment of iPhones since 2014. And I think I agree with you. I think that is a big part of it. So you're saying it's an Apple issue, not an economy. No, I'm just saying that it plays a part. So I'm saying that maybe, from an iPhone standpoint, what are we at right now, 14, 14, I don't know what I have 12, 13, whatever. And we can't even tell the difference. So I don't even get the social bonus. This room doesn't even know I'm better than you. So what I'm saying is it's like, if you had an iPhone 10 or an iPhone 14, what is the actual difference at this point? There's nothing, it's a little faster. The little faster, the camera's a little better. So it's like the last five, six years, that's been their MO. Now they drop this goggles, no one's wearing the goggles. No one's wearing the goggles. That's just a fucking flop. No one's wearing the goggles. Yeah. You're right. But I agree. So I think that maybe it's both issues. I think that if the economy gets a little tough and maybe you're skipping a little bit of extravagance, like there's nothing the new iPhone to, once again, like, even just to show, like literally they should just make, they should move the camera to the center. So you could be like, you, you're one of the top left camera people, yes, gross, even if they move the camera to the other side, they would say everyone get everyone going. Yes, because you have to show that you're a good point in the members. That's a really good one. And so if you're like, if things are even a little tough, you're going to be like, well, what do I care? Yeah. So I don't know. I think that I don't think it's not an indicator of the economy, but that has to play a part. Yeah. Right. I'm curious. I'm curious. Like, do you also think it's because people are tired of their phones now? No. No. No. No, no. No, no. I've record usage. That's a good optimistic thought. I'm like eight hours. But it's not. Eight hours 30 minutes. Yeah. Weekly. Wait, what? A daily or whatever. I'm eight hours 30 day. Really? Yeah, it's daily. Eight hours. What are you doing? Tik Tok. No. No social media. It doesn't mean I'm talking for TikTok. I like it. We'll shut down. Three for hours a day is text message. His life will disintegrate. I mean, you show him TikTok. Yeah. Is there a social guy? Like it's just people. Yeah, it's just people. Most people I work with like it's like a- It's like this text like, yeah, like email. Maybe I'm even responds to have to text messages. I'm weird. Don't have a miss being on a laptop? Wait, I have a question. Do you ever miss being on a laptop? No, I'm a mobile guy. Do you like the experience of being on a phone? Yeah. Laptop to feel chunky. I miss laptops. I miss like a desktop experience. I just like to cell phone I could be anywhere. I'm on the go. Love it. Yeah, I wish it was that Korean, but it is not. Those numbers are through the roof. I just think it's a combo probably of, it has to be something about the economy. Yeah. But the lack of a day to get a new one. Yeah, stop wearing a fucking goggles. I just feel like everyone got duped during that whole metaverse time. Yeah. During COVID where it was like Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of the whole goddamn company, Apple obviously put a lot of their bet into it and nobody gives. Oh, shit. That's why I knew the goggles were gonna flop. I think the goggles are gonna flop. I agree with both of you, because finally, let me tell you another, the member tent is buying a fucking paragoggle. I'm just gonna go to the place. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You were the goggles, I'll be in Meaconer. Yeah. You download a Meaconer screen server. the smartphone. They're on the fucking. Yeah, because they tell them phone. They tell their assistant to do it. We have a text blah, blah, blah. I'm going to make a note. But there's no way. And I think that the bet at the time in 2020, that probably sounded like the next big bet. Yeah. Well, I think like the way we even talked about Chatchy B.T. for the last six months, have you used it last two weeks? No, and I just want to go on record. The DNI both said it is a pet or is he stupid? Hey, guys, fucking dumb. I want to say, D and you were, we were all on the same page, that Chatchy B.T. was like a better Google. Yeah. And let's just chill out with all the other shit and the whatever. And I, you know, here's what I came to the conclusion. This is in my dream on Saturday night. Nice. I was just thinking about like dreaming about the world. I was like, I had a billion dollars where would I would invest it? Yeah. It was 100% all billion. Guess where I would invest it, all billion. Coca-cola. Exact opposite of that. Oh, Zempick. I literally had a dream that I put a billion dollar bet on a Zempick. I wouldn't say it's the opposite. I wouldn't say it's the opposite. I would say same user base. Same user base. But I, and I literally, I visualized myself on CNBC arguing with people talking about AI and I'm like, no, no one wants to be fat. That is the future. Yeah. I loved it in the limited amount of sleep you do. You think about like group chat topic. Yeah, I literally was like, I'm arguing on CNBC with like, I forgot who it was, like Sam Altman. And I'm like, AI, who cares about AI? You can be skinny. Of course, everyone's gonna be on Zempick. Yeah, you're right. I agree. I think you're totally right. You guys personally know people that are on Zempick. I know 50. No way, really? And they look great. All of them. Really? Yes. And a lot of them listen to this podcast. And they all look great too. Good for them. Yeah. People listen to this podcast and hit me up and said that they've gotten it. And they've set me pictures. I'm like, you look fantastic. And guess what? They're happy. They're picking shit and happy. But is it like a safe procedure? It's the greatest thing ever. Is that a procedure though? It's an injunction. It's safe. It'll be a pill soon. It'll be a tablet. And then we're all gonna be using Zempick. Yeah. It's getting fit. Yeah. The argument for it not being safe is that you lose muscle mass and bone density as well. So because you're eating less, you know, and that's not good. But maybe you can strength train. Yeah. As long as you do exercise, you're fine. But who does exercise? I'm gonna tell you how much is you better. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny that like that. Zempick is actually the big breakthrough that we found as a society. Oh, Zempick is way bigger than AI. Yeah. That's a good title. That's a good title. Zempick is bigger than AI. No. Zempick's bigger than Viagra. I didn't realize that. That's a good one. That's a good one. Farmy capture of the last like three decades. Like two days later. Is it bigger? Zempick is going to be better. What about Fauci? Fauci is so nice. Fauci is so nice. I shouldn't know. I should switch to Zempick. It's not too late. Or does anyone know like what is those if someone's on ozempick? What are they doing? They look great. That's what they're doing. They're just partying themselves once a week. Well, what's the routine of ozempick? Like if you're signing. I think you just shoot yourself up every year. Yeah, you shoot yourself up. You're good every week or so. Oh, one time. Yeah, I think once a week. Oh, once a week. So it's a program that you're on. So you're like once a week. I actually don't know. I'm guessing. I think it's once a week. So we have no idea about skin. But I think that's what. Oh, I know. I think it's like. It tastes better than skinny. Yeah. Ozempick. Wow. You know, the sea of weight watchers. Listen to the spot. I think. Yes. I've been trying to get her to advertise. They should watch ozempick. Yes. No, they have an ozempick. You don't have to wait. Yes. Why don't you just watch your weight. Yeah. Just watch that needle going to your leg and you're fine. Yeah. Why can't we get a sponsor? It's gonna be needle watcher. I agree. We should. You just watch your needle. Boom. Skinny. It's kind of scary though. What's up, Seema? Like I were thinking of doing it. I'd be like, damn, I'm injecting myself once a week. Like every week I'd be like. I'd be like, why don't you look at this? I'm an anxious person. I'm an anxious person. I take propitia every single day. What is that? To keep my hair. This hair only exists. Gonna take a pill every single day. I love it. Okay. Since I was 20 years old. It's the needle that she's having a hard time getting over. It's gonna be a tablet soon. Plus, I think once people are seeing the results, they're like, if you can have your hair be skinny. What is ozempick? It's a diabetes pill. Yeah. It just makes you angry. No one wants to be hungry. That's how it works. Yeah. But then you're not eating. I hate eating fast metabolizes yourself too. So even if you eat, you can fast. I think you eat less and metabolize quicker. The world is fascinating. Yeah. Okay. Do we want to do that? Shout out. Shout out. We have shout outs. Yes. We're gonna end on that. Shout out to ozempick. Yeah. And where's our ad? Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers. Holler at us. Yeah. We will gladly. We will lose weight watchers. We'll all lose 20 pounds. And... It was 30. Can you be emaciated if you lose your color? I look so good. You're like Timothy Shamel. Timothy Shamel. Timothy Shamel. Debbie Hot. He's hot. Oh my god. Who's doing shout outs? All right. We're the first shout outs from Zell to Howie.

His act is Howie.Mike. If Denver is the big leagues, where the fuck are you coming from? No. I was thinking that. The same thing happened to me with LA. I was supposed to move with my brother. He bailed on me. Oh no. I could go to the big leagues by myself. All right. So this next shout out is from Morris. Two Morris. Two himself. God damn it, Morris. Hey, Morris. Very proud of you.
