  What is up guys? It's Andy Frisella and this is the show for the realists, saying goodbye to the lies, the thickness and delusions of modern society. And welcome to motherfucking reality, guys. Today, we have Andy and DJ Cruise the motherfucking internet. And that's what we're gonna do. That's what CTI stands for. It stands for Cruise the internets. We put topics on the screen. We speculate on what's true and what's not true. And then we talk about how we, the people, have to fix these problems going on in the world. All right. Other times throughout the week, we're gonna have Q and A F. That's where you submit questions and we give you the answers. Because submit your questions a couple of different ways. The first way is- Guys, email these questions into [email protected]. Or you go on YouTube in the comments section on the Q and A F episodes.

• 1:00Andy Frisella?

  Drop your question in the comments. We'll choose some from there as well. Other times, we're gonna have real talk. Real talk is just a five to 20 minute segment of me giving you some real talk. And then we have what's called 75 Hard Verses. That's where people who have completed the 75 Hard program and used it to transform their lives, come on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now, and how they used the 75 Hard program to fix their dumpster fire of a life and how you can do the same. Now, you can get the 75 Hard program. It's not a challenge. It is a program. At episode 208, on the audio feed only, 208. If you're unfamiliar with 75 Hard,

• 1:43Andy Frisella?

  it is the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which is the world's most famous mental transformation program that you can get for free at episode 208. There's also a book. The book is called The Book on Mental Toughness. You can get that at andyfrisella.com. The book is not required, but it is much more detailed than the podcast. It goes in and out, up and down, left and right, all the things. If you're somebody who wants to know what's the details are, that's what you want. You want the book. Plus, it has a whole bunch of other stuff that is relevant to mental toughness. Okay, so get that at andyfristella.com. Now, we do things a little different here on the show. We don't run ads. We're the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads. We

• 2:25Andy Frisella?

  don't run ads because I don't want to report to anybody. I'm a successful entrepreneur. I can afford to promote and produce this show on my own. And I ask very simply that you support us in a couple of different ways. One, if you see these first form energy drinks in your grocery store, in your convenience store, you see our meat sticks, our snacks, our bars, our supplements, our apparel, support us that way. That's a great way to support us. But also, we need you to share the show. Okay, that's the main thing. We're constantly dealing with censorship issues. Hopefully those are getting cleared up, but they haven't yet. So, we ask very simply that if the show makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it brings you value, it gives you new perspective, if it teaches you things, if it makes you,

• 3:10Andy Frisella?

  you know, have a better day, do us a favor and tell one person, okay? Share the show with one person with each show that you listen to. And if you guys do that, we'll have a fucking army of like-minded individuals to counteract this bullshit going on in culture. So, make sure you pay the fee. Don't be a hoe. Show the show. All right. What's up?

• 3:33Speaker 01

  What's going on, man?

• 3:34Andy Frisella?

  Nothing, dude.

• 3:34Speaker 01

  Yeah? Where's your grape?

• 3:36Andy Frisella?

  Oh, you know, I drank it.

• 3:37Speaker 01

  Okay, good.

• 3:38Andy Frisella?

  I just, I thought you stole it.

• 3:40Speaker 01

  I was just making sure it didn't, you know, get some feet of its own.

• 3:43Andy Frisella?

  I was pretty sure you stole it. Nah, I drank it.

• 3:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was good.

• 3:48Andy Frisella?

  It's my favorite one.

• 3:48Speaker 01

  It's good, bro. It's timeless. It's a classic flavor. Yeah, man, what else is going on with you, man?

• 3:54Andy Frisella?

  Ah, you know, took a few weeks off, you know, now I'm on day two of 75 hard. Feel really good already, dude.

• 4:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:04Andy Frisella?

  Super sore. Cause I haven't done it in a while, you know, the last

• 4:10Andy Frisella?

  The last ninety days, hundred and twenty days or so of the year last year, I didn't even do cardio at all. Um, so my feet are sore even from one day of doing, cause I'm gonna do rucks.

• 4:21Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 4:22Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, and uh, I've definitely gassed.

• 4:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:25Andy Frisella?

  But uh, you know, I'll get it back quick. I feel, I already feel better. I don't look any different, but I feel better.

• 4:30Speaker 01

  Hmm. It's just knowing you're back in the.

• 4:32Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 4:32Speaker 01

  Back in the cycle.

• 4:33Andy Frisella?

  I'm a little thick right now, but you know.

• 4:36Speaker 01

  I call it juicy. It's nice.

• 4:37Andy Frisella?

  Juicy, thick.

• 4:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, dense.

• 4:39Andy Frisella?

  Saucy.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 4:41Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 4:41Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 4:42Andy Frisella?

  All the good stuff.

• 4:42Speaker 01

  All of that, man. I'm down with it.

• 4:44Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I know.

• 4:44Speaker 01

  Down with it, man. Um.

• 4:46Andy Frisella?

  Bro, I was shredded when we went to Colorado. Like when we first went to Colorado, I was fucking.

• 4:51Speaker 01

  You were peaked, yeah.

• 4:52Andy Frisella?

  I was fucking ripped. And then.

• 4:54Speaker 01

  Mountain Standard.

• 4:55Andy Frisella?

  The mountain standard got me, bro. They fucking got me with all those drinks and that clam chowder and all that fucking pimento and. Ah, the food was so good.

• 5:05Speaker 01

  I'm, listen, we.

• 5:06Andy Frisella?

  It ruined me.

• 5:07Speaker 01

  Leave right now.

• 5:08Andy Frisella?

  No, you fucked up my palate now and I can't eat like regular food anymore. I gotta eat all this gourmet shit.

• 5:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, bro.

• 5:14Andy Frisella?

  Soon I'm gonna graduate into the little stuff.

• 5:16Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh, bro.

• 5:17Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 5:17Speaker 01

  That shit pisses me off.

• 5:18Andy Frisella?

  I know.

• 5:18Speaker 01

  I can't do it. I can't do that. Don't, don't put that shit in front of me.

• 5:22Andy Frisella?

  That's above my palate.

• 5:24Speaker 01

  Teasing me.

• 5:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. Anyway.

• 5:28Andy Frisella?

  But feeling good, man, you know, uh, working on some big projects, got some big projects getting ready to launch. Um. They're gonna hurt some fucking feelings. Let's just put it that way. Actually, a few of them are gonna hurt some fucking feelings. Got the M S E O project launching here in a few weeks. Excited about that. Um, it's gonna be on an app. It's not gonna be on iTunes, so you guys are gonna have to go get the app, but we'll have announcements about that. Um, excited to be working with Vaughn again, you know, all, all good shit, dude.

• 5:57Speaker 01

  Hey, man.

• 5:58Andy Frisella?

  Twenty twenty five, starting off good.

• 5:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a good start.

• 6:01Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 6:01Speaker 01

  Um, it's a good start for a lot of people, actually. Um, except for one person. Uh, I thought this was interesting. Uh, somebody's not having a good start to their year.

• 6:10Andy Frisella?

  Who's that?

• 6:11Speaker 01

  Uh, is, is a tennis player, actually, um, who probably had one of the biggest meltdowns I've ever seen, um, ever.

• 6:19Andy Frisella?

  Like on the court?

• 6:20Speaker 01

  On the court.

• 6:20Andy Frisella?

  Little John McEnroe action?

• 6:22Speaker 01

  It might, uh, why, oh, what's that?

• 6:24Andy Frisella?

  You don't know who John McEnroe? John McEnroe was one of the best tennis players ever who was famous for losing his shit on the court. He was famous for it. Like, bro, yeah, so let's.

• 6:34Speaker 01

  Well, let's see if he compares.

• 6:35Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 6:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, his name's, uh, Daniel. Medvedev, did I say that right?

• 6:43Speaker 01

  I thought I asked you, bro. You're like the cultural expert.

• 6:46Andy Frisella?

  That's like an NHL name, bro.

• 6:47Speaker 01

  Is it?

• 6:48Andy Frisella?

  Medvedev.

• 6:48Speaker 01

  Medvedev.

• 6:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 6:50Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. Yeah, he had an epic camera smashing meltdown at an Australian Open. So let's dive into this a little bit.

• 6:59Speaker 01

  Daniel used his racket to smash a tiny camera attached to the net at the Australian Open when he was trailing Cassidy Samreg, the 418th ranked player in the world, before eventually avoiding a monumental upset and winning. So he did win the match. I guess that's good. But let's see what his meltdown looked like.

• 7:25Speaker 01

  Boy, you smacked that guy.

• 7:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was a given there.

• 7:37Speaker 01

  Does that compare?

• 7:38Speaker 02

  How's that camera doing? Can we get the close up?

• 7:41Andy Frisella?

  They're tennis players, bro.

• 7:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:43Andy Frisella?

  They don't get that heated.

• 7:46Andy Frisella?

  The better sports meltdowns is like Ryan Leaf, when he tried to beat up the reporters in the locker room. You probably don't even know who Ryan Leaf was.

• 7:52Speaker 01

  No, I don't know who that is.

• 7:53Andy Frisella?

  He was drafted a head effect in Peyton Manning.

• 7:55Speaker 01

  Geez.

• 7:56Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. And then, uh...

• 7:59Speaker 01

  You know who's hot baseball fucking coaches?

• 8:01Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 8:02Speaker 01

  I've seen a few of those. Yeah, bro, fuck.

• 8:04Andy Frisella?

  Fucking Pete Rose. All them dudes were fucking... Tennis players don't even know how to... They don't even know how to be violent, right?

• 8:12Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. They don't.

• 8:14Speaker 01

  If sports was a different time back then too, though, man. Because I mean, you had steroids in.

• 8:19Andy Frisella?

  You think they don't got steroids now? Bro, all these motherfuckers take steroids.

• 8:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 8:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 8:25Speaker 01

  They have to.

• 8:26Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 8:27Speaker 01

  They have to. Most of them. I don't know. I just thought that was interesting, man. He's still up winning though, so I guess that's good. But it's okay to let out a little steam every now and then.

• 8:35Andy Frisella?

  He looks like he needs some steroids.

• 8:40Speaker 01

  I don't know, man. Guys, we got a lot to get into today. A lot of stuff to cover as always. So let's dive into our headlines. Remember, guys, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andyfacello.com. You guys can find them all linked there. That being said, headline number one. Guys, talk about it. We got inaugurations coming up. That's the first thing. We're less than five days now before the big, the big day. Now, they have it set as like, they release this whole itinerary and scheduling and stuff. That's cool. Supposed to be like this four day thing.

• 9:17Speaker 01

  Lot of moving pieces here. One of the things I thought was cool, DC, they did this update about just the level of law enforcement and resources they'll have on the ground. Let's check this briefing out.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  Our entire police department will be activated for the presidential inauguration. In addition, will be reinforced with nearly 4,000 officers from across the United States who are generous enough to raise their hands and commit their time to assist the Metropolitan Police Department. Those additional resources will be deployed to manage traffic, secure dignitary routes, and ensure public safety in our city. I'd like to pause and thank those officers who are coming to our city, taking time away from their families to ensure the safety and security of this event. Their commitment to our country, to this city, and their law enforcement partners are admirable. They deserve praise from us all. Also, I

• 10:13Speaker 01

  Yes, I mean, that's cool. Yep. Nice little step up in security.

• 10:17Andy Frisella?

  Feel like they need more than that.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  They probably do.

• 10:19Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I feel like, I feel like they need a lot more than that. I mean, I think it's cool that, you know, a lot of officers are donating their time to go out there and, and help. But I mean, look, man, you know, you got the most powerful people in the world all in the same place. You got dignitaries and leaders and people that are completely opposed to the new, the new world order, the globalist, the World Economic Forum, people who bucked at COVID, who, who really, you know, threw a big wrench in all their plans, and they're all going to be in the same spot.

• 10:49Speaker 01

  Probably need a couple more.

• 10:50Andy Frisella?

  It makes me nervous.

• 10:51Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, I think it's also like nice to have too. Like, I mean, it's always important. I don't know. I'm not going to call them corrupt. I don't know how entangled and ensnared the DC command staff is. I mean, we saw how they operated with J six stuff. So it's probably nice to have some outside fresh eyes that are not a part of that chain of command.

• 11:11Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, cuz we don't know where the corruption starts and stops.

• 11:14Speaker 01

  It's important.

• 11:15Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 11:15Speaker 01

  It's important. Now, I know we covered, I think, last week, you know, this whole thing with Jimmy Carter's funeral, uh, flags being lowered to half staff. So that got changed today. Um, House Speaker, he orders the, uh, Capitol flags to full staff for the inauguration. Um, so that's a nice little update. Um, thought that was cool. But like you said, dude, there's gonna be a lot of people here. A lot of people here. A lot of big time names. Uh, Milley from Argentina's coming in. Uh, the Italian president's coming in. All these people, uh, who are big fans of Trump.

• 11:47Andy Frisella?

  Look at these guys. Here's the headline. Foreign leaders desperately jockeying for invite to Trump's inauguration. They're all going crazy. You and I got invited multiple times. Cuz we're a big freaking deal. Ain't that right? We got our grass stained New Balances out here in Missouri.

• 12:03Speaker 01

  Black Air Force Ones.

• 12:04Andy Frisella?

  Black Air Force Ones, and they want us to come. But you know what? I'm not going.

• 12:08Speaker 01

  No, we can't do it.

• 12:09Andy Frisella?

  I'm not doing it, bro. I don't feel, I don't. First of all, I gotta be real, dude. Like, I'm not loyal to anybody. I am loyal to the idea of what America can be and should be. I'm not loyal to a political candidate. I can be happy that political candidates do certain things.

• 12:26Speaker 01

  Wish them to do the good things.

• 12:27Andy Frisella?

  Absolutely. And I do wish that Donald Trump, I hope he does everything that he says he's gonna do and even more. And if he does, I'll be one of his biggest fans in history. But that is yet to be determined. And I think people in America need to really understand that, like, look, dude, we have to build the best America possible. We do not worship candidates. We do not worship political figures. We do not worship celebrities or any kind of foreign dignitaries. We, the people, are the power. We, the people, are the, we are America, and we have to build it from the ground up. And that's gonna take, you know, what we talk about on here over and over and over again. It's gonna take the individual, understanding the role that

• 13:08Andy Frisella?

  they play in America, raising their standards, living what they believe the American dream should look like, and eventually... America will look like that, but this idea, I don't, I'm not a, I mean dude, I have a lot of respect for the Trump family. I'm friends with Don Jr. I, you know, talked to him quite a bit. Really like him a lot. I think he's a really good dude. I'm friends with a lot of Trump's friends, some of his best friends. But, you know, I, I try to keep it non-biased dude, you know what I'm saying? And I just don't, I don't know, man. Maybe we're making a mistake by not going. Maybe it's an amazing thing. I don't know, but like it just doesn't feel like the right thing. You know, cause if Trump goes in and fucks up, I'm gonna fucking call him out on it.

• 13:51Speaker 01

  Right.

• 13:51Andy Frisella?

  You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not gonna sit here and be like, oh yeah. And justify all that, you know what I'm saying?

• 13:57Speaker 01

  Like how they do it.

• 13:58Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I just don't think we should do that. I think, I think we should call it how it is. And I think that when you get too close to some of these people, you, you're, you're, you're not able to do that the proper way.

• 14:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, I get it.

• 14:09Andy Frisella?

  And, and does that make sense?

• 14:10Speaker 01

  It ma- it makes sense. It makes sense because that's

• 14:13Andy Frisella?

  Cause dude, I've gotten invited and you've gotten invited to Mar-a-Lago a million times. And dude, I respect that and I appreciate that. And I really do think it's an awesome thing. But also I think it's, I think it's, I think it's important that we, that we call it how it is as it goes, you know?

• 14:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure. Well, you know, somebody else won't be there either. I thought this was interesting. Did you see this? Uh, Michelle Obama will not attend Donald Trump's inauguration after skim- uh, skipping Jimmy Carter's funeral.

• 14:43Andy Frisella?

  Well, I mean,

• 14:44Speaker 01

  Is that weird?

• 14:45Andy Frisella?

  No, he called her a dude.

• 14:47Speaker 01

  Oh, he, he did.

• 14:48Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 14:49Speaker 01

  Well, I forgot about that.

• 14:51Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he called her a man. You know, and he multiple ti- would you go?

• 14:57Speaker 01

  I forgot about that.

• 14:58Andy Frisella?

  Nah, bro, like I

• 14:59Speaker 01

  Okay, well, I see it differently now. I see that. Yeah, I get it.

• 15:02Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, why the fuck would she go?

• 15:04Speaker 01

  I get it.

• 15:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. And then you got, and then you got Barry laughing it up with him.

• 15:11Andy Frisella?

  Dude.

• 15:12Speaker 01

  Come on, man.

• 15:13Andy Frisella?

  Probably what they were talking about. What if someone called your girl a fucking dude?

• 15:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:18Andy Frisella?

  Like, and meant it. And then you're sitting there chopping it up? How you think your home life's gonna be? Oh dude.

• 15:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, Big Mike's gonna be big man.

• 15:26Andy Frisella?

  Big Mike's handing out black eyes at home, bro. Obama's laughing because he can't wait to get out of here. He's like, he's like, hey, he's like, he's like DT. You were right, bro.

• 15:39Andy Frisella?

  I'm gonna get my ass kicked at home.

• 15:41Speaker 01

  Dude, I forgot. All about that.

• 15:42Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 15:43Speaker 01

  Dude, and it makes so much sense now because I'm sure they got the seating chart, right? With the, even with Carter's funeral, she probably didn't want to sit nowhere near him. Um, now granted, okay, granted, they've called him every name in the book. You know what I'm saying? And he still shows up to the places. So, I mean, I don't know, there's something fishy going on there. It may just be as simple as that. I don't know. Um, but she did miss, uh, miss that funeral. Now, what I, my initial thought was on all of this, bro, you know what I thought it was?

• 16:11Andy Frisella?

  What?

• 16:11Speaker 01

  And this is coming from some personal experience. Um, mad black woman syndrome. Because it's not just Michelle. Uh, yeah, Kamala Harris also doing something weird. She, yeah, weird, right? Uh, Kamala Harris declines traditional invite for J D Vance to visit vice presidential residence. She's not like, so like there's supposed to be the like every year, every time, every fucking new presidency, there's this like, you know, uh, ritual they do, right? The president shows a new president, you know, walks him around, the vice president is supposed to tour the vice president's house with the new vice president, right? Yeah, she declines, she's not doing it. Um, several Democrat and Republican sources confirmed to CBS News that Harris has declined the traditional sit down meeting or tour

• 16:57Speaker 01

  of the Naval Observatory Residence, which has served home to vice presidents, uh, since the 1970s. Um, now, they were obviously still, you know, shown access and, you know, given a detailed briefing and all of that stuff. Um, but it wasn't by Harris, which was interest. I, I don't know, man, like, I've seen, I've seen that, that syndrome in play. Um, for a friend of mine, I'll say this, I'm not gonna fuck up my own house, but, uh, it happens. It's a real thing. I just, maybe that was a part of it, but like, what did Vance do to Kamala besides beat her?

• 17:30Andy Frisella?

  I mean, he made her look stupid. I mean, let's be real, dude, like, he's smart, she's dumb, everybody saw it, she's embarrassed.

• 17:36Speaker 01

  Is there a right?

• 17:36Andy Frisella?

  It is what it is. And on top of it, she doesn't belong there anyway.

• 17:40Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 17:40Andy Frisella?

  Okay, let's be real, man. She did not earn her position in life. Okay, she is where she is because of D E I. She was pit, she was not, okay, look. People get real mad when you say this, okay, but she is where she is because of the color of her skin.

• 17:57Speaker 01

  Oh, if it's fat.

• 17:57Andy Frisella?

  A hundred percent fat.

• 17:58Speaker 01

  For sure.

• 17:59Andy Frisella?

  She

• 18:00Speaker 01

  Probably some others.

• 18:00Andy Frisella?

  Joe Biden said, okay, first of all, in the presidential primary in 2020, she was the least popular candidate. Out of all the candidates in the primary, okay? So those of you that are gonna get mad, just listen to what I'm saying. She was the least popular president. Or the, uh, primary candidate.

• 18:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:20Andy Frisella?

  Okay? This year, there wasn't even a, an election or anything for her to even be the candidate.

• 18:28Speaker 01

  Right.

• 18:28Andy Frisella?

  She was appointed, alright? When Joe Biden picked her for a vice president, he picked her after saying publicly, what did he say? I am committed to picking a black woman as vice president. And by the way, he did shitty at that because she ain't even black. Okay, so she, a- a- and dude, where she got to as a prosecutor is very famous. She was a socialite. Okay, and she made friends, quote unquote friends, like the kind of friends who suck their dicks, alright? And worked her way up the ladder, and that's the reality of Kamala Harris's career. Okay, so.

• 19:07Speaker 01

  I don't have any of those friends.

• 19:08Andy Frisella?

  Huh?

• 19:08Speaker 01

  I don't have those friends.

• 19:10Andy Frisella?

  Nah, I don't either. My point is, is that, you know, like, she's not qualified to be there. She knows she's not qualified to be there. She knows why she's there. She's embarrassed herself for four years. Extremely embarrassed herself since July till now. She can't even do an interview that's lop. Oprah Winfrey, who they paid to do an interview for her, who is one of the greatest interviewers in history. Couldn't get a good interview out of her. That, she still looked like an idiot.

• 19:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, bro.

• 19:41Andy Frisella?

  So this woman, who is probably not qualified to like, and, and I say this all the time joking, but I'm being serious right now. She's not qualified to run a fucking lemonade stand.

• 19:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:54Andy Frisella?

  She could not run a lemonade stand. And now she's mad because some dude's kicking her out of her vice president? These people are entitled, bro. They think that they deserve to rule over us. We have said this. Thousand times on this show, bro. You know what I mean? And she's mad. She's mad mad.

• 20:13Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying. Like, is, I mean, I, I just, it's sore loser shit.

• 20:17Andy Frisella?

  Who gets more mad, Zishan, black women or Indian women? Being for real.

• 20:23Andy Frisella?

  I feel like black women get mad in public and Indian women just kill you in private. Is that true?

• 20:29Speaker 04

  We should ask the people.

• 20:31Andy Frisella?

  What do you guys think?

• 20:33Speaker 01

  I can.

• 20:33Andy Frisella?

  Who gets madder? Black women or Indian women? Italian women, dude. Latinas get mad.

• 20:40Speaker 01

  Oh, bro, that's a, that's a, that's a different.

• 20:41Speaker 04

  I would vote for Latinas.

• 20:42Andy Frisella?

  Latinas get mad.

• 20:43Speaker 01

  That's a different, you don't want to feel their wrath.

• 20:45Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 20:45Speaker 01

  You don't piss off.

• 20:46Andy Frisella?

  They fucking cut you, bro.

• 20:48Speaker 01

  They will make you a.

• 20:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 20:50Speaker 01

  They will.

• 20:50Andy Frisella?

  I don't know. There's, there's, listen. Let's have a fucking bracket, like for the Super Bowl. Except for, okay, you guys can buy squares. We'll see what the fucking score is.

• 21:03Speaker 01

  Oh, dude. It's wild, man. I don't know. So, I mean, it's there.

• 21:06Andy Frisella?

  Italian, Italian women get mad too, though. They get real mad. They get physical. They'll beat you.

• 21:12Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 21:13Andy Frisella?

  They will. They don't stab you, but they will fucking beat you.

• 21:15Speaker 01

  My mom threw a bunch of shit at my little brother.

• 21:17Andy Frisella?

  Huh?

• 21:18Speaker 01

  My mom, she's Italian.

• 21:19Andy Frisella?

  Oh, yeah?

• 21:20Speaker 01

  Yeah. She like.

• 21:21Andy Frisella?

  She threw shit?

• 21:21Speaker 01

  She threw shit all the time. Yeah, all the time. Um, yeah, I don't know. Maybe, maybe it's just sore loser shit. I don't know.

• 21:29Andy Frisella?

  We gotta put white trash women in there too. Like trailer park, like if you grew up in a trailer park.

• 21:34Speaker 01

  What, what do they do?

• 21:35Andy Frisella?

  They throw shit at you too. They're throwers.

• 21:37Speaker 01

  Take your drugs?

• 21:39Andy Frisella?

  No, they, they do them.

• 21:42Andy Frisella?

  They do your drugs.

• 21:47Andy Frisella?

  I, you listen.

• 21:49Speaker 01

  Hey, listen, it's diverse. We talk about it equally, you know?

• 21:52Andy Frisella?

  We're.

• 21:54Andy Frisella?

  You guys are such misogynists.

• 21:57Andy Frisella?

  All right, who's the most angry men?

• 22:01Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 22:02Andy Frisella?

  I don't think men are that angry, bro.

• 22:04Speaker 01

  Short dudes.

• 22:05Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, short dudes.

• 22:06Speaker 01

  Short dudes, bro.

• 22:07Andy Frisella?

  Short dudes get mad.

• 22:08Speaker 01

  Get high.

• 22:08Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 22:09Speaker 01

  You gotta be careful with them little guys, man. Calm down, man. Little buddy, be all right.

• 22:18Speaker 01

  I don't even, like, well, that's not really a race thing. It's, it's more of physical traits.

• 22:22Andy Frisella?

  I don't think there's like, I don't look at like men and think like, all right, these dudes get more mad than these dudes.

• 22:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, but short guys for sure.

• 22:29Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 22:29Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 22:31Andy Frisella?

  They do, they're gonna get mad, because they want to be big.

• 22:39Andy Frisella?

  Alright.

• 22:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, it is. That's what it is.

• 22:44Andy Frisella?

  Oh god dude.

• 22:45Speaker 01

  You know, those kids mad they can use to stand next to me in the urinals.

• 22:48Andy Frisella?

  Oh.

• 22:48Speaker 01

  They get pissed.

• 22:53Andy Frisella?

  Dude, there's something wrong with you.

• 22:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, man. It is what it is, man. We got, uh, we got, we got, so all of that's going on. Now, there is something else that's on the

• 23:00Andy Frisella?

  Wait, we haven't even started the show yet.

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Right.

• 23:03Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 23:03Speaker 01

  There's other stuff that's going on with this, uh, or during this interesting time of political change. Um, you got Senate confirmation hearings happening, um, right now. Um, now at the time of the recording, uh, one of the big ones going on right now is, uh, Pete Hegseth, um, his Senate confirmation that's happening. Now, look at this article from CNN, okay? Senators grill Trump defense pick Pete Hegseth at confirmation hearing.

• 23:31Andy Frisella?

  I wouldn't call it that.

• 23:32Speaker 01

  No, it wasn't that.

• 23:33Andy Frisella?

  I wouldn't call it that at all.

• 23:34Speaker 01

  You know what I saw? Okay, you, you, you, you the thing.

• 23:37Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:37Speaker 01

  Here's what I saw.

• 23:38Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 23:39Speaker 01

  Oh, man. We're getting in trouble for this episode.

• 23:43Andy Frisella?

  Just go ahead and, just go ahead. I'll fill you in at the end.

• 23:46Speaker 01

  He's destroying them.

• 23:48Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 23:48Speaker 01

  He's destroying them.

• 23:49Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 23:50Speaker 01

  He's doing, he, he, listen, he's a great pick.

• 23:52Andy Frisella?

  Listen, man. Did you see his, uh, did you see his interaction with, uh?

• 23:57Speaker 01

  Liz?

• 23:57Andy Frisella?

  Oh, my god. Do you have it?

• 23:59Speaker 01

  I got it. Yeah, I got it, man. Hell, yeah.

• 24:01Andy Frisella?

  Let's go.

• 24:01Speaker 01

  I just, I wanted to point this out because it's always so interesting how the left tries to paint their wins.

• 24:07Andy Frisella?

  Bro, we're sick of those people. Everybody's sick of those people. Everybody's laughing at them. No one's taking them serious.

• 24:13Speaker 01

  Uh, Elizabeth Warren, the whole fucking room laughed at it.

• 24:16Andy Frisella?

  Bro, everybody's laughing. They're laughing at AOC. They were laughing at AOC yesterday. It's like, AOC, AOC yesterday was talking about, um, something about trans, oh, they passed the fucking law of, of, uh, the Women Protection Act.

• 24:30Speaker 01

  Right.

• 24:30Andy Frisella?

  And did you see her response?

• 24:32Speaker 01

  No, I didn't see it.

• 24:32Andy Frisella?

  She was up there screaming, saying, "Women are actually bleeding out in parking lots!" Like, dude, she was going, you know, in her AOC fashion, and it's just like, dude, no one, no one fucking listens to you. You guys are all liars. You all make shit up. You all talk about things that aren't actually happening, or if they are happening, they're They're a massive outlier situation that is outside the norm of what's happening and you speak about it as if it's the norm. And people have caught on to this. They have caught on to this and this is what's created this polarization amongst, uh, you know, the population in this country, which I think is healing because these people are getting laughed at.

• 25:14Speaker 01

  Well, the other part that irritates me too with this, bro, they always try to hit below the belt, man. Like they were, dude, they brought his kids up. They, they, they keep bringing this, this, uh, this shit up about his alcohol.

• 25:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. How about their kids?

• 25:26Speaker 01

  Right. Exactly. Like Senator, uh, Woody, whose son is a registered member with Antifa and was fucking throwing pepper spray and shit at people. Like what do you, you know what I'm saying? But you want to bring up like, come on.

• 25:37Andy Frisella?

  Bro, listen, man, all these people, every single one of them, they've got more skeletons in their fucking closet than any of us would ever have.

• 25:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:47Andy Frisella?

  They paid out like thirty million dollars last year in defense legal fees that come from your taxes.

• 25:53Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 25:54Andy Frisella?

  For congress members to defend themselves against sexual lawsuits.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 25:59Andy Frisella?

  It was, well, it was like twenty million. I might be exaggerating, but it was a lot. It was twenty to thirty million. Okay. Of your money, your money, my money, our money.

• 26:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:09Andy Frisella?

  Went to defend these fucking shitbags against sexual.

• 26:14Speaker 01

  Touch money payments.

• 26:15Andy Frisella?

  Yes.

• 26:15Speaker 01

  What it is.

• 26:16Andy Frisella?

  And then they were on here talking about this dude, oh, his alcohol consumption. Well, fuck what day of the week are you talking about? You don't say it like, what's your alcohol? If I had to deal with you people, I'd be drinking too.

• 26:27Speaker 01

  Bro, there is a famous, uh.

• 26:28Andy Frisella?

  I was thinking today, like how glad, how, how like, you know, like when all this shit was going on and we were like, fuck, maybe we should run for office or this or that. You know what? I'm never doing that. These people are miserable. They're terrible. I don't ever want to be around them.

• 26:43Speaker 01

  I don't like the whole, uh, you know, bring them out into the, the, the circle, shine the spotlight on them. And like all the people that are holding spotlights, bro, they would tremble in their pants if they were the ones that actually were, where the light was being shone on them.

• 26:57Andy Frisella?

  Yep.

• 26:57Speaker 01

  You know, nobody's like, bro, listen, my, my philosophy on life, man, you know, you're just as perfect as I am.

• 27:02Andy Frisella?

  Bro, we're all.

• 27:04Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying?

• 27:04Andy Frisella?

  We're all fuck. I mean, by their standards, we're all pieces of shit.

• 27:08Speaker 01

  Bro.

• 27:08Andy Frisella?

  You know what I'm saying?

• 27:10Speaker 01

  It's insane. It's insane, but, but, uh, but let's dive into the Senate confirmation hearing. Um, but yeah, I mean, so he writes like that, but the reality is he came out swinging and he held his own and, and he had some great answers, great responses.

• 27:22Andy Frisella?

  He's not a bitch. He's smart. He's young. He's experienced.

• 27:26Speaker 01

  He's with it, you know, um, and he called out, he got, uh, got a chance to kind of display, you got to kind of see the, the foreshadowing of, of what his, uh, his career is going to be like if he gets confirmed.

• 27:37Andy Frisella?

  Was his wife the one that was singing the song?

• 27:41Andy Frisella?

  The National Anthem in the Capitol? Wasn't it his wife?

• 27:44Speaker 01

  No, I think that was, uh, that was the, uh, one of the other picks. I know what you're talking about. I just saw that video.

• 27:48Andy Frisella?

  Oh no, that was, uh, Gates's wife.

• 27:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, that was Matt Gaetz's wife.

• 27:51Andy Frisella?

  That was beautiful.

• 27:52Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, you got to touch on the, uh, uh, the zero accountability for the, the Afghanistan withdrawal. I got to, to, to, to really talk about a bunch of stuff. So I got some clips here. Let's just dive through these. Let's check these out. Uh, here they are.

• 28:08Speaker 05

  In other words, you're quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 10 years. You're not willing to make that same pledge? I'm not a general, Senator.

• 28:26Speaker 05

  You'll be the one, let us just be clear, in charge of the general.

• 28:32Andy Frisella?

  Dude, they're all laughing. Look at all the people in the background laughing at her. And look at him trying not to laugh. Bro, dude, she's so dumb, bro. These people are so dumb and they all got elected on the same shit. The same woke, like I can't wait till all the wokeys are like primaried out.

• 28:49Speaker 01

  Go to sleep?

• 28:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, bro.

• 28:52Andy Frisella?

  Fucking Elizabeth Tanto Warren.

• 28:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, right. Geez, man. Here's another clip. Let's check this out.

• 28:58Speaker 06

  There's been no accountability for the disaster of the withdrawal in Afghanistan, and that's precisely why we're here today.

• 29:05Andy Frisella?

  Excuse me.

• 29:05Speaker 06

  Is that leadership has been unwilling to take accountability. It's the time to restore that to our most senior ranks.

• 29:12Andy Frisella?

  How old is Hexeth?

• 29:16Andy Frisella?

  Google that up there, man.

• 29:21Speaker 01

  Forty-four.

• 29:22Andy Frisella?

  Oh, he's same age.

• 29:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. Young, good-looking guy, man.

• 29:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he is a good-looking dude. He's got tattoos too, bro. I think he'd be the kind of dude we would hang out with.

• 29:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure.

• 29:30Andy Frisella?

  I think, I think he's the kind of dude that most men are like, "Yeah, that's a fucking real dude."

• 29:35Speaker 01

  Good dude right there.

• 29:35Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he's been a fucking warfighter.

• 29:37Speaker 01

  He's not perfect. I mean, there's, listen, I-

• 29:39Andy Frisella?

  Nobody's perfect. You don't get to be forty-four years old and have a perfect resume.

• 29:43Speaker 01

  Right.

• 29:44Andy Frisella?

  Like, that's what you- do you know why it's valuable to be forty-four years old? Because you made all the mistakes, bro. And when you're sixty years old, you made even more. And when you're seventy, eighty years old, like Trump, you made so many you don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? Like-

• 29:58Speaker 01

  That's when the new balance is coming.

• 29:59Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. Like, dude, that's the value of experience. The value of experience is the mistakes that you've been through. So like-

• 30:07Speaker 01

  That you learned from.

• 30:08Andy Frisella?

  Yes! So like, getting up here and, you know, quote-unquote, grilling people about their shit. Like, if that were me, I'd be like, "Yeah, I did this, but this is what I learned." "Yeah, I did that. I did that too. You know what? That was bad. I fucked that up."

• 30:21Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 30:22Andy Frisella?

  "But I won't do that again." You know what I mean?

• 30:24Speaker 01

  I don't really remember that piece.

• 30:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 30:26Speaker 01

  But, yeah.

• 30:26Andy Frisella?

  Like, it's just so, it's so weird how society judges people so harshly for the mistakes that they make when, first of all, they all have made the same mistakes. And, second of all, mistakes are how you learn and improve your life. Like, what, what are we, where have we lost sight of that?

• 30:44Speaker 01

  Right.

• 30:45Andy Frisella?

  You know?

• 30:45Speaker 01

  It's insane. Um, I got one more clip here. This is one of my, uh, my, probably one of my favorite clips at, uh, one of the exchanges that, that happened. Let's check this one out.

• 30:54Speaker 05

  And as you said in your statement, do you agree anybody should be able to serve in the military if they meet the standards?

• 31:02Speaker 06

  Senator, as the president has stated, um, I don't, uh, disagree with the overturn of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

• 31:10Speaker 05

  Great, because I don't want you thinking can't serve if you're a mom, can't serve if you're LGBTQ, and then last, can't serve if you're a leftist. The statements you said about people who have views differently than you, that we're the enemy, are you saying the 50% of the DOD, if they hold liberal views or leftist views, or are Democrats, are not welcoming the military? Are you saying that?

• 31:34Speaker 06

  Senator, I volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan under Democrat President Barack Obama. I also volunteered to guard the inauguration of Joe Biden, but was denied the opportunity to serve because I was identified as an extremist by my own unit for a Christian tattoo.

• 31:50Andy Frisella?

  Not only that, how about all those military members that got called out and kicked out of the military for being quote unquote domestic threats because they wouldn't take a fucking vaccine that wasn't proven?

• 32:04Speaker 01

  Or they really liked their commander in chief.

• 32:06Andy Frisella?

  How about that? Right? Like, bro, I love how these people, when the coin gets flipped over on them, they start acting like they weren't just doing this. Like, dude, I really, and look, the domestic extremist is definitely gonna come out at me in about one second. These people need to be fucking dealt with, okay? Because they will not ever stop. And when you make a mistake, when you have someone who is like fucking evil, who is, has shown their cards, and shown what they are willing to do, and how far they are willing to go, and then you give that person grace, it's only a matter of time before they do it again, and they get the way that they want. So, these people, that woman, and the people who think

• 32:50Andy Frisella?

  like her, you don't belong in the fucking military, and to be completely fucking honest, you don't belong in the fucking country. All right? And I'm not talking about Democrats. I'm talking about leftist communist people who put other ideologies ahead of the American ideology. I'm talking about people who put globalism at the top, or who put Israel ahead of America. All right? This is America. We are American citizens. We should be first. Everybody else can get fucked until our citizens are taken care of. After- Our citizens are taken care of after our country looks amazing after all of our streets are fixed and our homeless problems is fixed and everybody's making money and we're doing

• 33:33Andy Frisella?

  all these things then we can be concerned with other causes that have to do outside of this country but right now we are a crumbling country we are not the shining city on the hill that we're supposed to be and that needs to be fixed and that's what America first is about and all these people who say oh I'm America first I'm America first and then talk about sending money to Ukraine or doing things for other countries or Israel and this and that you're not America first and quite honestly Hegseth's one of those people who says that shit that's a big knock on me for him.

• 34:09Speaker 01

  I think he pulled it back a little bit because in his confirmation you know I think he reword reworded that and like now he's just saying like you know yeah like I feel like Israel has the right to do what they want and that's and that that I can okay cool you believe Israel.

• 34:23Andy Frisella?

  No he said Israel has the right to exist and and that's that's true.

• 34:28Speaker 01

  That's fine.

• 34:29Andy Frisella?

  Okay I I don't disagree but there's a lot that I do disagree with when it comes to that country and how involved they are in our country.

• 34:36Speaker 01

  Exactly and there's a priority list here that we have to knock out.

• 34:39Andy Frisella?

  That's correct.

• 34:40Speaker 01

  And no other country should be coming.

• 34:42Andy Frisella?

  America dude dude.

• 34:43Speaker 01

  It's just that simple man.

• 34:44Andy Frisella?

  I don't know why that's such a hard. Because all these people get most of their money from pro-Israel PACs so they have to say this shit in public otherwise they don't get the fucking money that they want to actually get elected so it's all money dude and it's it's bullshit okay I don't give a fuck if you're black white Christian Muslim Jewish whatever the fuck you are here in this country if you're an American citizen you come first everybody else can get the fuck out until we get that fixed that's my opinion and and real talk every single person who's here illegally all of them should be gone.

• 35:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:20Andy Frisella?

  Okay all of them then they should be sent a letter or a piece of mail or some sort of hey here's the proper process if you really want to come here and we'll see how many of them can do that and will do that but this shit that has been going on here we gotta wipe it clean. And do it the right way.

• 35:37Speaker 01

  It's very, very simple. Um, now Hexeth specifically, right? So he's gonna be, you know, running the Pentagon if he gets confirmed, which I don't see why he wouldn't. Um, you know, but one of the other things too is just like the, just the standard of the military. Because when they wiped everybody out from all the COVID nonsense, it left people like this. You know what I'm saying?

• 35:56Andy Frisella?

  And like intentionally, intentionally DJ, they want people like that. For those of you listening, we're looking at a trans man or trans, I don't fucking know what I, we're looking at a dude who's pretending to be a woman.

• 36:12Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 36:13Andy Frisella?

  Waving rainbow flags. Like this is not a priority.

• 36:17Speaker 01

  In a military uniform.

• 36:18Andy Frisella?

  Listen, this is not a priority for anything that has to do with this country.

• 36:24Speaker 01

  Well, here, here's the issue though, Andy. The problem that I have with it is, is that we can't push this stuff and make it seem like this is okay. This is the new America. We're strong. We're like, this is supposed to be our fighting force that protects.

• 36:40Andy Frisella?

  It's a joke.

• 36:42Speaker 01

  And then at the same time, you got people like, you know, FBI Director Christopher Wray time, trying to tell us who our enemies are and how bad our enemies are. You know what I'm saying? Or how, how infiltrated we are as a country, but this is what we're leading with. It doesn't make sense.

• 36:57Andy Frisella?

  It does make sense.

• 36:58Speaker 01

  Unless you're, that's the goal.

• 37:00Andy Frisella?

  That's right. It does make sense because we have been, we have been subverted through communist ideology. It still boggles my mind how people don't understand this. If you go back in history and you look at what the fuck is going on here, this is communist ideology that is subverting our actual American values. Okay? Transgenderism is a communist idea. It's to, it's to subvert, it's to create a situation of lesser reproduction. There's all kinds of, it's, it's to challenge and remove the idea of truth and what can be considered yes or no, this or that. When you can get people to question the idea of what a man is and what a woman is,

• 37:42Andy Frisella?

  and you can get people to say, well, a man is a woman, a man can be a woman, or a woman can be a man. Then you remove the idea of truth. And when you remove the idea of truth, you create a scenario where people can't be nationalists at all. They cannot. Be proud of their country because they don't even know what their fucking country is because it's up for debate. Okay, so there's all kinds of things that that come from communist ideology that we're we're gonna have to clean up. And dude, when you when people say, oh, well, it doesn't make sense. No, it makes perfect sense because that's what the people who have been running the country since 2008 have wanted.

• 38:23Speaker 01

  It's real shit, man. It it'll be interesting to see.

• 38:27Andy Frisella?

  I can't wait to see these people just get fucking railed in in the press and culture. People are so tired of it. People are starting to recognize because there's a number of people, us and a whole bunch of other people who are willing to tell the truth.

• 38:41Speaker 01

  Well, I've taken some arrows for a minute, too.

• 38:43Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, that's fine.

• 38:44Speaker 01

  You know, but it is worth it, man. It's worth it. Um, guys, jump in on this convo. Let us know what you guys think down in the commentary. Let us know. That being said, let's go check out the chat, shall we?

• 38:58Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 38:58Speaker 01

  All right, we got this first comment comes from at Ruben J. Leon. He says, Andy DJ, you guys come to Austin. Just north of Austin is a private airport right off the toll roll where the speed limit is 80. So y'all can get around fast and y'all can be just far enough from the crazy traffic and crazy people.

• 39:16Andy Frisella?

  It's funny you mention that because we actually have to go to Austin here in the next week or two.

• 39:21Speaker 01

  Oh, no shit?

• 39:22Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 39:22Speaker 01

  Oh, sweet.

• 39:23Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I gotta go see Jesse.

• 39:24Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 39:26Andy Frisella?

  And I gotta see, uh, that's where my Ferrari dealer is, too. I gotta see JP and the guys down there.

• 39:30Speaker 01

  I think they are because you know, you're pulled out there. Like, where should we relocate and do a satellite office for the podcast?

• 39:35Andy Frisella?

  People like Austin.

• 39:36Speaker 01

  People like Austin.

• 39:37Andy Frisella?

  I like Austin.

• 39:38Speaker 01

  I've never been. Never been.

• 39:40Andy Frisella?

  It's warm.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  Seems like a cool dude.

• 39:42Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, Ruben, we'll be there soon. Tell us where to eat. Where can we get some good food?

• 39:50Speaker 01

  Oh, we got one more comment from you. This comment comes from at Sandy Krieger. This episode is a metaphor for life. You gotta get through burning your balls to get to the best part.

• 40:01Andy Frisella?

  That's 100% true. Thank you, Sandy.

• 40:07Andy Frisella?

  Thank you for your insights. I love our people.

• 40:10Speaker 01

  Well, they're good. Yeah, they're good people, man. Guys, we appreciate you for being.

• 40:13Andy Frisella?

  That sounds like a, that sounds like a, a passage that I read one time in Marcus Aurelius. Yeah. Yeah, it was right in there. It said, uh, you gotta get through burning your balls to get to the best part.

• 40:26Speaker 01

  That's it.

• 40:26Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 40:27Speaker 01

  That's it.

• 40:27Andy Frisella?

  Poetic.

• 40:28Speaker 01

  That's the meaning of life.

• 40:32Speaker 01

  Guys, we appreciate you for being.

• 40:35Andy Frisella?

  I got some ghostwriting opportunities.

• 40:39Andy Frisella?

  DJ's got some ghost reading opportunities.

• 40:41Speaker 01

  I do. Got some ghost reading opportunities.

• 40:43Andy Frisella?

  Who was to teach DJ how to read? We got a special role.

• 40:48Andy Frisella?

  I got you that book. It's down here.

• 40:50Speaker 01

  Which one?

• 40:50Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 40:54Andy Frisella?

  Learn to read book. I always keep it here just in case.

• 40:58Speaker 01

  I've been doing good.

• 41:00Andy Frisella?

  You, yeah, cuz you've been learning to read.

• 41:03Speaker 01

  I'm on the first page like LeBron.

• 41:06Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, here's, here's DJ.

• 41:12Speaker 01

  All right. Yep. Guys, let's keep the cruise moving. We got headline number two. Your favorite, uh, one of your favorite humans. You love this lady.

• 41:20Andy Frisella?

  I do?

• 41:21Speaker 01

  You do?

• 41:21Andy Frisella?

  Let me guess.

• 41:24Andy Frisella?

  How much do I love her?

• 41:26Speaker 01

  Well, about lover.

• 41:28Andy Frisella?

  I know what you mean.

• 41:28Speaker 01

  Right?

• 41:29Andy Frisella?

  Is she like number one on the list?

• 41:31Speaker 01

  No, she's not number one. That'd be Hillary.

• 41:32Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, that's for sure. Hillary's number one on the.

• 41:34Speaker 01

  She's top five.

• 41:36Andy Frisella?

  AOC?

• 41:37Speaker 01

  Nope.

• 41:40Andy Frisella?

  Give me a hint. Or will the hint be too obvious?

• 41:45Speaker 01

  It'd be too obvious.

• 41:50Speaker 01

  Michelle, Joy Reid.

• 41:52Andy Frisella?

  Oh, God. She's number two, bro. All you would have had to say was number two. I hate Joy Reid. I hate her as much as she hates me. She hates me because I'm white.

• 42:02Speaker 01

  I know.

• 42:04Andy Frisella?

  I know. I hate her back. Fucking hate her right back.

• 42:07Speaker 01

  She didn't even spell the last name right. That's not how you spell Reid.

• 42:11Andy Frisella?

  Nah.

• 42:12Speaker 01

  It's R-E-E-D.

• 42:15Andy Frisella?

  How do you spell Reid, DJ?

• 42:18Speaker 01

  Well, what's Reid? Red or Reid?

• 42:22Andy Frisella?

  Listen, fuck Joy Reid. How about that?

• 42:25Speaker 01

  You know what I can't stand?

• 42:26Andy Frisella?

  I can't, her face?

• 42:28Speaker 01

  Well, no, I think.

• 42:29Andy Frisella?

  Her receding hairline?

• 42:31Speaker 01

  Listen, you believe in God or the universe.

• 42:33Andy Frisella?

  Her, her cultural appropriation with her wigs?

• 42:35Speaker 01

  That was worse than that.

• 42:36Andy Frisella?

  And then tells us that we don't have a culture? You, white people don't have a culture, but I'm gonna wear a blonde wig?

• 42:45Andy Frisella?

  Right? The hypocrisy is thick.

• 42:48Speaker 01

  It's thick, yeah. It's a thick, it's, it's definitely a thick.

• 42:51Andy Frisella?

  By the way, I don't give a fuck if people wear blonde wigs.

• 42:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, sure.

• 42:54Andy Frisella?

  I don't give a shit.

• 42:54Speaker 01

  I wear blonde wigs.

• 42:55Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, fuck, me too, on the weekends. But the point is, is that I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit if a white dude wants to dress with, like a hip hop guy. I don't care that a fucking, uh, that Joy Reid wants to wear blonde wigs. But what I do care about is when you tell me I don't have a fucking culture and the white people haven't done shit, and then I can't culturally appropriate you because I wear Jordans, which I don't, but if I did.

• 43:17Speaker 01

  Right.

• 43:18Andy Frisella?

  And you could wear a blonde wig and act like you're fucking, you know, fuck you. How about that?

• 43:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, I get it.

• 43:23Andy Frisella?

  Joy Reid gets a big fuck you.

• 43:26Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, what I, you know, and listen, whether you believe in God or the universe, however you choose to see it, um, it works in mysterious ways. And what I don't understand is why are all of like those people, their, their names? Like, it's like the complete opposite of their being. Joy is not joy.

• 43:46Andy Frisella?

  No.

• 43:46Speaker 01

  Whoopi, right? Fucking Sonny? Like, I don't know, I just thought that was like, that's a massive life.

• 43:53Andy Frisella?

  I think Joy Reid is.

• 43:59Andy Frisella?

  I think it's unbelievable that she's allowed to be on TV and be as racist as she is.

• 44:03Speaker 01

  Well, she's really racist.

• 44:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 44:05Speaker 01

  She's really racist.

• 44:06Andy Frisella?

  I know.

• 44:06Speaker 01

  Um, and, and you know, hasn't stopped. So, uh, Joy reclaims billionaire.

• 44:11Andy Frisella?

  Self-destruct her, bro, because Americans know inherently, dude. They know we're, we're, nobody's with this racist shit. Like, we, we, here in America, we like to make fun of each other for our differences.

• 44:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, right.

• 44:23Andy Frisella?

  That doesn't mean we're fucking racist.

• 44:24Speaker 01

  I still shit. You got a small dick.

• 44:26Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 44:26Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 44:28Andy Frisella?

  What?

• 44:31Andy Frisella?

  First of all, I'm Italian, motherfucker. I'm Sicilian.

• 44:35Speaker 01

  It's a salzita.

• 44:36Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 44:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, I, I got you, bro.

• 44:38Andy Frisella?

  I got whole butcher shops to fit me in it. All right? I don't want to hear this fucking white man shit. I ain't white. Fuck white people and their little dicks.

• 44:50Speaker 01

  Um, but yeah, she, it didn't stop Joy. She's still on her, uh, joyful, uh, rants. Joy reclaims billionaire right, wants apartheid state in post wildfire California. So wildfires, you know, I don't even know if you call them wildfires at this point. Um, we got a little bit more on that in a minute, but, um, she's making this wild claim. All right. That it's the billionaire right, which, um, I didn't even, that's a new term. I guess she just created, uh, that they want to drive out the non-white people from the state of California to make an apartheid state. Um, and she just, uh, made this in a little rant she pushed out. Let's check this clip out.

• 45:32Speaker 05

  Retrofitted with their ugly right-wing policies, the way they've ruined Florida and Texas and every other red state where poverty rates are high and education is warped and non-white immigrants, pregnant women, victimized girls and LGBTQ folks live in fear. Then, then the fight for permanent control of America is basically over. They can drill and frack California till the fires this past week pale in comparison. They can rip out all the forests and hand over the land to developers, Florida style. They can drive out the brown people and the black and Asian people, or just sink them into the same apartheid they've created in Texas. And they will control enough electoral votes if they control California to never have to worry about another presidential election.

• 46:16Speaker 05

  The billionaire right knows that they cannot take California, home to Hollywood, San Francisco and Kendrick Lamar by culture.

• 46:25Speaker 05

  So they're looking to try to take it with lies and deceit and by fire. And joining me now is Altadena resident Natalie La Forge. Uh Natalie La Forge, thank you so much for being here.

• 46:38Andy Frisella?

  So Donald Trump set the fires? Yep. Essentially is what she's saying? Yep, and he's gonna- And me. And you, and you're gonna burn down the whole state- Uh huh. So that you can create an apartheid and kick all the black people out. Okay. But it's- Well, my first question is, is like, with all that fame and money, what the fuck are you doing about your hairline lady? She's worth about four million. Four? Mm-hmm. Well, you can afford a fucking, whatever you gotta do to your head. Go to Turkey, I heard it's great. I see what, dude, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like, and I don't, I don't like making fun of people's appearances, but she hates me. She does hate you. Yeah, so fuck you, Joy Reid. Get a fucking hairline transplant. Well, but here's the interesting thing though, Andy. Is that out of line? Is he showing? Okay. A hair transplant?

• 47:23Andy Frisella?

  No, just anything about, she, dude, everything, she has eyebrows too, what the fuck, where they at? She must've lost a bet, she probably bet Kam- she probably bet Kamala was gonna win and had to shave her eyebrows. Shave her shit, yeah. Fuck, man. I can't stand her, and by the way, uh, we don't stand each other, so it's fair. It's fine. Like, but, like, if she was a neighbor, I would like, put shit in a bag and light it on fire and throw it to her house. You're gonna kick off this apartheid. Yeah. Fuck you. Bro, but here's the thing though, man, she makes this wild claim, trying to again point, you know, as they always do, trying to paint the right, uh, wealthy, uh, you know, good upstanding citizens, like they wanna just take over, but-

• 48:06Andy Frisella?

  I got this interesting clip, okay, that I wanna play real quick. Why the fuck do you, why, why is everything- Your fault? Yeah.

• 48:18Andy Frisella?

  Why? Fuck white people.

• 48:22Andy Frisella?

  Fucking insect infestation, never built anything either. Yeah, right. Never, never built anything. Nothing. Not even Europe. Nope. Dude, get the fuck outta here. Anyway.

• 48:35Andy Frisella?

  Look at her face. Look at that fucking face, bro.

• 48:41Speaker 04

  If I have to draw a snake slowly transforming into a woman, that's the middle face.

• 48:48Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 48:48Speaker 04

  That's right there.

• 48:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, yeah, bro. She's lizard. Bro.

• 48:52Speaker 01

  She's definitely got some.

• 48:53Andy Frisella?

  But listen, dude. What, where, where, where, like, okay. How racist do you have to be to come up with what she just said?

• 49:04Speaker 01

  It makes, bro, listen.

• 49:07Speaker 01

  There is no amount of weed that could get me to that point.

• 49:09Andy Frisella?

  That's what I'm saying.

• 49:10Speaker 01

  Like she's.

• 49:10Andy Frisella?

  And she walks around thinking this shit.

• 49:12Speaker 01

  She believed it, though.

• 49:13Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 49:13Speaker 01

  That's the problem. Like, cause I mean.

• 49:15Andy Frisella?

  This is what I was saying earlier, though. She does believe it. And if she and people like her got in power, they would fucking be, dude, listen, man. Do you not remember what they were willing to do during COVID? They were wanting to take people's kids away. They were wanting to exile people who didn't get the shot from society. They want, they fired people. They fucking ruined people's lives and she was happy about it.

• 49:37Speaker 01

  She wanted more. That wasn't enough.

• 49:39Andy Frisella?

  Bro, those, these people, those people. Meaning these fucking communist leftist people. They have no problem. They, they will fucking kill you if they're allowed to be in power and history has shown this. There's 66 million motherfuckers killed in Russia and nobody talks about it. 66 million, not 6 million, 66 million. Okay, that were killed by Bolsheviks. People should go look at what Bolshevism is all about, who does it and where it comes from and what ideology they had. And if you actually learned about it, you'd recognize what's been attempted to happen here.

• 50:14Speaker 01

  Just in the modern times.

• 50:15Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, but fuck dude, don't talk about that.

• 50:17Speaker 01

  Can't say that, no. But this, this, this, this little rant was, was interesting.

• 50:22Andy Frisella?

  By the way, those 66 million people were fucking Christians.

• 50:27Andy Frisella?

  But here's the thing, like the rant, the little, you know, this rant that she did. By the way, that wasn't a thousand years ago either. That was fucking in the 1900s. Yeah, it was fairly recent. Yeah. But here's the thing about this wild claim that Joy just went on, right? She's claiming that all the billionaires are, you know, they're gonna, uh, you know, they're the reason these fires are going on and they're gonna take over all the land to, you know, all that. That's fine. That's cool. That's okay, Joy. But here's the problem. There's this clip that just surfaced, um, of, uh, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. Let's check this out. Newsom. Over the course of next several years, Los Angeles will be host to the World Cup, and then the Super Bowl, and then the Olympics. With this rebuilding effort, um, needing to take place, is LA gonna be ready for all of

• 51:12Andy Frisella?

  those global events?

• 51:14Speaker 06

  My humble position, and it's, it's, and it's, it's not just being naively optimistic, that only reinforces the imperative of moving quickly, doing in the spirit of collaboration, cooperation. President of the United States, Donald Trump, to his credit, was helpful in getting the Olympics to the United States of America to get it down here in LA. We thank him for that. This is an opportunity for him to shine, for this country to shine, for California and this community to shine. The opportunity with all of that, uh, and all that opportunity and that pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues, uh, but also the opportunity, I think, to rebuild at the same time. And that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan. We already have a team looking

• 51:59Speaker 06

  at reimagining LA 2.0. We're making sure everyone's included, not just the folks on the coast, uh, people here, uh, that were ravaged by this disaster.

• 52:08Andy Frisella?

  You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan for the rebuilding of California. What is that Marshall Plan? Tell us about this Marshall Plan.

• 52:14Speaker 06

  We're just starting to lay out. I mean, we're still fighting these fires. So we're already talking to city leaders. We're already talking to civic leaders. We're already talking to business leaders, nonprofits, uh, we're talking to labor leaders. We're starting to organize how we can put together a collection of individuals on philanthropy for recovery, how we can organize the region, uh, how we can make sure, uh, that we are seeking federal assistance, uh, for the Olympics more broadly, but also federal assistance for the recovery efforts, uh, and how we can galvanize the community with folks

• 52:45Speaker 01

  That love this community to really develop a mindset so that at scale we're dealing with the scope of this tragedy and responding to it at scale with efficiency like the executive order I talked about time value of delivering projects, addressing building codes, addressing permitting issues, and moving forward to rebuilding and being more resilient.

• 53:10Andy Frisella?

  So you already got a plan?

• 53:11Speaker 01

  You got a plan.

• 53:12Andy Frisella?

  For LA 2.0?

• 53:13Speaker 01

  Right, right.

• 53:14Andy Frisella?

  It's weird, you're standing in somebody's front yard.

• 53:17Speaker 01

  Right.

• 53:17Andy Frisella?

  Where their house is burnt down, next to 100 other houses that are burnt down, where these people can't even have a place to live, they don't, they can't find shelter, okay? There's no rental properties in LA that these people are filling up, I mean, this is a bad situation. And you're sitting here basically saying, "Oh, we've already got a plan to rebuild California, and it's gonna be awesome for the Olympics." We've been talking about it already, that's interesting.

• 53:42Speaker 01

  It's interesting, they're gonna get caught.

• 53:44Andy Frisella?

  So, so, so these fires just

• 53:47Speaker 01

  Right.

• 53:47Andy Frisella?

  Happen to?

• 53:48Speaker 01

  Well, no, that's a good thing, because we can revitalize and we can come together and collaborate and cooperate. It's interesting.

• 53:55Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I bet they went around to some of these immigrants and they said, "Hey, man, you go start these fires, we'll make sure you get to stay."

• 54:01Speaker 01

  Help us rebuild.

• 54:02Andy Frisella?

  Not immigrants, illegals.

• 54:04Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying, help us rebuild.

• 54:05Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 54:06Speaker 01

  You know, so I mean, it's just interesting to Joy Reid's claim, you know, that she's making that, you know, it's you out there.

• 54:11Andy Frisella?

  Oh, yeah.

• 54:11Speaker 01

  Doing that. Um, but Newsom's already had the plan, man, and, and

• 54:16Andy Frisella?

  How is she not fired from, from television?

• 54:19Speaker 01

  Well, here's the other thing, bro, she's gonna be unemployable. Where's she gonna go after this? Like, when the woke shit's done, where do all of those people go?

• 54:25Andy Frisella?

  Bro, she's gonna listen to a fucking, she's gonna start a podcast and no one's gonna listen to. Do you ever notice these mainstream people that go start podcasts, they don't even rank?

• 54:35Speaker 01

  No.

• 54:36Andy Frisella?

  Oh, we're, we're number fucking one in business, they're number fucking, and we're not, we float between number 20 and 30 in fucking overall podcasts in the world? These people fucking aren't even in the top 500, it's because no one gives a fuck, and they still think that people do.

• 54:54Speaker 01

  That camera's a dangerous thing, bro. Camera and a microphone's dangerous. It's dangerous.

• 54:59Andy Frisella?

  I mean, it exposes people's true power. Like, when you're, when you're on MSNBC and you're spewing all this crazy shit, or you're on CNN and you're spewing all this crazy shit, and then you go start a podcast nobody listens to, it kinda tells you what's up. You know what I'm saying? Like, how mu- how much of your listenership have you lost MSNBC over the last four years? Because I know other places have lost upwards of, you know, 90% of their fucking listenership.

• 55:23Speaker 01

  Yep. I mean, it's...

• 55:26Andy Frisella?

  People are, people are tired of the shit, dude. They're tired of it.

• 55:30Speaker 01

  Well, it's funny you say that because Steve Smith, uh, he also jumped in on this too.

• 55:35Andy Frisella?

  Steven, Steven A?

• 55:36Speaker 01

  Steven A, bro.

• 55:37Andy Frisella?

  Alright.

• 55:37Speaker 01

  He's coming around. Steven fucking A, he's coming around. Bass and Newsom gotta go. Have you seen this clip? Check this out.

• 55:44Andy Frisella?

  They gotta go.

• 55:44Speaker 06

  They gotta go. I'm, I, you know what? They gotta go. I don't give a damn if they do. After what I've seen last week, they gotta go. They gotta, "I'm done! I'm done, Kevin! I'm done!"

• 55:54Andy Frisella?

  Steve, sometimes there are, Steve, sometimes there are natural disasters you can't do a damn thing about. When a hurricane hits your house down in south, in Florida, what can you do? Are you yelling at the politicians to stand out there and stop the winds?

• 56:06Speaker 06

  Kev, I'm not going off about the fires. The fires is not their fault. But when firefighters are standing there and saying, "There's not enough water in the fire hydrant."

• 56:14Andy Frisella?

  That's true.

• 56:14Speaker 06

  When, when Donald Trump asked for water to be pumped from Canada into the LA system, and Gavin Newsom opposed that. When you're hearing about environmentalists compelling him to protect smelt and little fish and salmon at the expense of LA citizens, of California citizens, Kevin, I don't need much else than that. I just don't. Maybe you're nicer than me. Maybe I'm too cruel. I'm di- I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it.

• 56:39Andy Frisella?

  They gotta go. You know, I'm starting to have a, a different, uh, perspective on Steven A, for real. I've been hard on him for a long time. I've always thought he was a racist. I've always hated the shit that he says about, like, where I always felt like he's made issues around race that didn't need to be made as issues.

• 56:58Speaker 01

  He's definitely stoked some fires.

• 56:59Andy Frisella?

  For sure. But... In the last year, year and a half, I've started to shift my perspective and I actually think that he actually believed those things. And I think he does call it as he sees it from his perspective, which makes me respect him. Uh, in a new way, you know, does that make sense?

• 57:21Speaker 01

  For sure.

• 57:22Andy Frisella?

  I would love to have him on the show, bro. I'd love to argue with him.

• 57:24Speaker 01

  It'd be cool.

• 57:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 57:25Speaker 01

  It'd be cool.

• 57:26Andy Frisella?

  Cause dude, he's fu- he's, he, he used to get like really mad in his arguments and now he like, there's like a humor part to it.

• 57:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:34Andy Frisella?

  I just, I don't know.

• 57:34Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, I think it'd be cool.

• 57:35Andy Frisella?

  Bro, he's kind of turned me around, man. I'm kind of starting to become a Stephen A. Smith fan.

• 57:40Speaker 01

  Alright.

• 57:40Andy Frisella?

  Which I would have never said that like five years ago.

• 57:43Speaker 01

  It's weird hearing you say it.

• 57:45Andy Frisella?

  I know, but you know what, man? When people change and they change their perspectives and he's, he comes across now as a much, like, okay dude, like what I'm saying is, is like, you know how you see people and, and they say stupid shit and you're just like, bro, you're just being an asshole. And that's how I always perceived him. I always perceived him as like this black dude that had a chip on his shoulder and was making issues that didn't really need to be made.

• 58:12Speaker 01

  Right.

• 58:13Andy Frisella?

  And I, I just think that that's what he believed and I think he's starting to come around because now he's starting to talk about things and challenge things that I've seen him argue for in the past, which, bro, I, I think there's nothing, real talk, I think that's one of the most respectable things you could say about someone because it's, it's, they're not just talking heads. This guy's actually thinking, he's, he's speaking from his perspective and I can, I can get down with someone that does that as long as it's, you know, what they really think.

• 58:41Speaker 01

  Right. You know, I mean, I, I, I get that vibe from him too. He's definitely been coming around. Um, you know, but the joy read shit, you know, people are pissed, obviously at the Democrats and then more and more it's coming out about these fires and their origins. Um, you know, there's illegal immigrants that have been caught on camera, getting arrested with blow torches and homeless dudes setting fires uh, in open fields, things like that. Um, but at the time of this recording, I want you to watch, look, look at this headline. LA's lowlifes, the looters, burglars and drug addicts arrested during Palisades fire, all share common trait. Um, they have over 40 people that have been arrested.

• 59:22Speaker 01

  And they've grouped them all together, um, of being very close to these fire locations when they started, right at the evacuation times, you know, the people were being evacuated out of their homes. And as people were leaving their homes, they're going right in, right? Like, right? Like, logistically, what would seem to be impossible to just, you know, uh, be a coincidence to happen. Okay? It's, it's weird. Um, but dozen of those people that have been accused of looting homes and stores in the ritzy Pacific Palisades enclave, uh, of LA during the deadly fires have been pictured in mug shots. Cops charged more than 40 detainees with various offenses, including burglary and drug possession since the fires broke

• 1:00:05Speaker 01

  out on January 7th. Remarkably, none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone and seemingly traveled with the intention of taking advantage of the devastation. Now, what's important to note here, because I did some dives in this, it's not like they were just, you know, uh, a few subdivisions over. These people lived nowhere near these fires. And the moment that they broke out, they were there. They're all there.

• 1:00:34Andy Frisella?

  What's that tell you?

• 1:00:35Speaker 01

  Logistically impossible, Andy. Not, this can't be a coincidence. Can't be a coincidence.

• 1:00:42Andy Frisella?

  I had someone who is, oh, by the way, there's their mug shots.

• 1:00:48Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. That guy also needs the Joy Retreatment. Jesus Lord, look at that.

• 1:00:55Andy Frisella?

  Uh, who?

• 1:00:56Speaker 01

  This guy here?

• 1:00:57Andy Frisella?

  Oh, yeah. He needs hair transplant.

• 1:00:58Speaker 01

  What the hell? Oh, bro, this guy scares me.

• 1:01:01Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:02Speaker 01

  Bro, wait, wait.

• 1:01:03Andy Frisella?

  Well, anyway.

• 1:01:04Speaker 01

  He's seen some shit.

• 1:01:05Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:06Speaker 01

  What?

• 1:01:07Andy Frisella?

  The fuck did he?

• 1:01:08Speaker 01

  What the?

• 1:01:09Andy Frisella?

  That's like the first time you saw boobies.

• 1:01:15Speaker 01

  Bro, I am changed forever.

• 1:01:19Andy Frisella?

  Dude, listen. These people, I, I had, I, I've had, I gotta be careful how I say this. I have someone who, who is, uh,

• 1:01:30Speaker 01

  Who would know?

• 1:01:31Andy Frisella?

  Who would know? Who is under, they're, they're involved in intelligence. Um, tell me straight up, like, hey, man, uh, just so you know, we have credible evidence that this is a coordinated, uh, terrorist effort.

• 1:01:45Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:01:46Andy Frisella?

  To set these fires. So.

• 1:01:50Speaker 01

  Dude, like, here's an example, right? When during the, a lot of the riots that happened, right? I mean, St. Louis is home to a bunch of those, right? We were seeing these trucks come in, dropping off pallets of bricks. Right? Like, that's just one example, like, logistically impossible for it to be a coincidence. Right? And we're seeing the exact same signs and symptoms in these LA fires, bro. And like, what is the truth? What is actually happening? And why is nobody even, like, everybody wants to throw this climate change shit in there? It's not climate change, man. It's not climate change. It's fucking Juan who just saw boobies for the first time.

• 1:02:35Andy Frisella?

  That's right.

• 1:02:36Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying? Now, who sent Juan? Because I don't believe, I mean, he doesn't look like a very capable guy. You know what I'm saying? To like, you know, create this massive plan on his own. Who gave him the plan? Who gave him the supplies? I mean, dude, they're running around, they're getting caught with burglary tools. They got crowbars and I mean, who's supplying these people? And who's giving them the info and the insight to even know where to go?

• 1:02:59Andy Frisella?

  Well, you know, it's, it's, you know, it's the same old thing that's been happening. It's been happening since 2014 here in St. Louis with the Mike Brown riots. And it's interesting that a lot of the money that's being raised to help quote unquote victims of, you know, the LA fires is going to Act Blue again. Okay?

• 1:03:26Andy Frisella?

  And furthermore,

• 1:03:28Andy Frisella?

  how is it that the people of California pay the most tax of any place in the country? And yet, they are so unprepared.

• 1:03:43Andy Frisella?

  We have to have citizens come out of pocket and do humanitarian efforts, which I'm glad they're doing because that's an American thing to do.

• 1:03:52Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:03:53Andy Frisella?

  We take care of our people, we take care of our neighbors, it doesn't matter if they're black, white, you know, Asian, Christian, it doesn't matter, we take care of each other here, and I can appreciate that. But why is it that these people in California are, and by the way, this goes for everybody, we're all overtaxed.

• 1:04:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure.

• 1:04:15Andy Frisella?

  And yet, we can't handle simple things like a fire. Where's that money going?

• 1:04:23Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:04:24Andy Frisella?

  And why are we paying those taxes? And why is it that, you know, every time there's a natural disaster, we're having these issues now? We never used to have these issues when there was natural disasters.

• 1:04:35Speaker 01

  Man didn't create fire in 2020.

• 1:04:37Andy Frisella?

  No, bro, and we still have people in Asheville that are living in fucking tents when it's 2 degrees.

• 1:04:42Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:04:43Andy Frisella?

  This is bullshit, okay? And the fact that we're even taxed like this at all is bullshit. And these people like Elizabeth Warren, who are up, they're making millions of dollars on backdoor deals while people are literally living in tents in Asheville, which should have been handled by our government agencies because of the tax that we pay. So, we've become a country where the tax no longer goes to serving the people, it goes to serving the ruling class. And these people find ways to launder it and steal it and keep it from the situations and the organizations and the, the, the places it needs to be to serve us so that they can

• 1:05:27Andy Frisella?

  live in a bigger fucking house. That is fucked up, okay? And that is a fundamental change, this is, this is what I'm talking about when I talk about Donald Trump's administration. We are taxed.

• 1:05:41Andy Frisella?

  In a way where we work, when you add, not just income tax, but when you add up all the tax that we make, bro, we pay more tax than we get to keep, okay? If that's the case, then what does that make us? Does that make us free? No, it makes us tax slaves. It means worker bees. We exist to work our lives away so that they can take the money. And not only do they take the money, they take the money and they don't do anything for us. They do very little.

• 1:06:10Speaker 01

  Well, they keep, they keep doing stuff that further keeps the, the foot on the throat.

• 1:06:15Andy Frisella?

  Of course, of course, that's what that's about. Do taxes, they can print as much money as they want, they do it anyway.

• 1:06:21Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:06:21Andy Frisella?

  So if that's the case, then what is the fucking point of taxes? The point of taxes is not to serve the public, it's to handicap financially the individual citizen so that they cannot become too powerful for the government to control. And that is something that Donald Trump's administration needs to fix. And if they don't fix that, their administration will be a failure, in my opinion. Because that is the ultimate issue here in this country that no one wants to address or talk about because we are brought up believing that that's how it should be. Our ancestors fucking had a revolt over 3% taxes.

• 1:07:01Andy Frisella?

  Okay, and here we are 250 years later paying more of our money to the government than we get to keep. That is anti-American, that is against the fundamental guidelines that this country was even founded upon.

• 1:07:16Speaker 01

  Well, I mean, here's another.

• 1:07:17Andy Frisella?

  Trump needs to change it, dude.

• 1:07:18Speaker 01

  Here's another example for you. A lot of these people that they've arrested at this time for starting these fires. You talk about priorities and tax dollars and where it goes, right? Like, you know, I'd be, I'd be curious to see, I mean, a few of these people could potentially be American citizens, but a few of them probably not, right? Or like the people that have been getting caught starting fires, actually started them, they're not documented.

• 1:07:40Andy Frisella?

  What should happen to people that get caught starting fires?

• 1:07:43Speaker 01

  I think they should get caught on fire.

• 1:07:45Andy Frisella?

  I think we should light them on fire, on television. I think, listen dude.

• 1:07:51Andy Frisella?

  We gotta get Dana White involved. He understands how to put on live events.

• 1:07:56Speaker 01

  He's giving pay-per-view.

• 1:07:58Andy Frisella?

  Yes. We let him create a new avenue of, of his pay-per-view company,

• 1:08:06Andy Frisella?

  which is called The Big Show. We talked about this so many times.

• 1:08:10Speaker 01

  It's great.

• 1:08:11Andy Frisella?

  The Big Show. We take all these violent criminals and these arsonists and these people that disrupt society, and you pay a hundred bucks once a week if you want to watch him be lit on fire or thrown in a wood chipper on live TV. And then the money that's generated goes towards the victims of the crimes that they committed. I legitimately feel like that is a tremendous idea. And the reason I feel that way, because people think I'm joking, I'm not joking.

• 1:08:39Speaker 01

  No, he's dead serious.

• 1:08:40Andy Frisella?

  Is that over the course of history, people have been, have to have been shown that there are violent repercussions for doing things like rape and murder and molesting children and starting fucking fires that ruin people's lives and kill their dogs and their kids and their families. And did you hear the story about that man who had a son who had cerebral palsy and couldn't evacuate? And he stayed with him and they both died? Like, bro, these people are killing people. And these people need to be dealt with. And unless there is a tremendous fear of the repercussions of actions, people will continue to do bad things. And we have been,

• 1:09:21Andy Frisella?

  we have been intentionally indoctrinated to have sympathy for criminals when we shouldn't have any. Okay, and, and, and bro, most people don't have an experience to speak from, from dealing with violent crime. I do. I got stabbed in the fucking face. Most people don't even know that unless they read my book. Right? Or they've been listening to a show for, you know, 10 years.

• 1:09:41Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:09:41Andy Frisella?

  But dude, I have a perspective of that. And, and a lot of people don't. They think that like, you know, all these violent crimes and these violent situations, they feel like they are accidents. Oh, the person, you know, they were molested when they were a kid, so now they killed someone. I don't care. I don't fucking care. I don't care that they were molested as a kid. I care that they killed my kid.

• 1:10:04Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:10:04Andy Frisella?

  You see what I'm saying? Like this, this justification and making excuses for-

• 1:10:11Andy Frisella?

  Disgusting criminal violent acts has to stop and they need to be dealt with publicly so that we can stop this shit in society.

• 1:10:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:19Andy Frisella?

  That's my personal opinion.

• 1:10:20Speaker 01

  It's a relatively new thing too, like in, in just in the human timeline of-

• 1:10:25Andy Frisella?

  That's right.

• 1:10:25Speaker 01

  Of history.

• 1:10:26Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 1:10:27Speaker 01

  This, this bleeding heart with the people who do not want to participate in society like everybody else, it's relatively new, man. Um, you know, but, but on the tax thing real quick, cause I thought, I mean, this is, this is interesting how it all works together. Imagine, you know, a lot of these people that are getting caught setting these fires, um, a decent amount of them, they have been, uh, and this is verified by ICE itself, they're, they're not, they're illegal immigrants, right? But imagine, imagine, you know, you got all these people getting caught for setting these fires, they're all illegal immigrants. And then your number prior, your number one priority as governor of, of California,

• 1:11:05Speaker 01

  um, is to, to, to take more tax dollars and put it aside to trump proof the state, which money is going to be used to prevent those same people from being deported.

• 1:11:20Andy Frisella?

  There's nobody in California that agrees with that.

• 1:11:22Speaker 01

  Nobody, no, he's doing this shit on their own.

• 1:11:24Andy Frisella?

  That's right.

• 1:11:25Speaker 01

  They're doing this shit on their own. And so like, at what point do the Californians-

• 1:11:27Andy Frisella?

  Bro, even my liberal friends who are Democrat, they're, they're hardcore Democrats. My liberal friends, they're liberal. They're not leftist, they're not communist, but they are very liberal. These people are sick of that shit.

• 1:11:41Speaker 01

  I mean, that dude, and that's the thing, man, like the, the people in California, they're gonna have to stand up. I know they didn't ask for that.

• 1:11:47Andy Frisella?

  No.

• 1:11:48Speaker 01

  Tell them, don't fucking do it. You know what I'm saying? Like, how do you trump proof a state? You know what I'm saying?

• 1:11:53Andy Frisella?

  I think everybody in California should stop paying taxes.

• 1:11:56Speaker 01

  That'd be a hell of a day.

• 1:11:59Speaker 01

  That'll be a hell of a day. Cause I mean, they, they pay a shit ton, man.

• 1:12:02Andy Frisella?

  I know.

• 1:12:03Speaker 01

  It's crazy, man.

• 1:12:04Andy Frisella?

  Most people, most people leave there because of that, they start making money. Cause it's such a big deal.

• 1:12:09Speaker 01

  It's crazy, man.

• 1:12:10Andy Frisella?

  Guys, look at that slimeball turd.

• 1:12:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:12:16Andy Frisella?

  I wanna, I'm trying to cut back on my cursing.

• 1:12:18Speaker 01

  That's good.

• 1:12:18Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:19Speaker 01

  Good.

• 1:12:19Andy Frisella?

  But he's a fucking piece of shit.

• 1:12:24Andy Frisella?

  Sometimes it's just appropriate.

• 1:12:25Speaker 01

  Hey, hey, I get it. Guys, jump in on this convo. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think about, about that topic. With that being said, let's get to our third and final headline. We got headline numero three.

• 1:12:40Andy Frisella?

  You know the Spanish word for three?

• 1:12:41Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:12:41Andy Frisella?

  What?

• 1:12:42Speaker 01

  Trace.

• 1:12:42Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 1:12:43Speaker 01

  You know how I know that?

• 1:12:44Andy Frisella?

  Uno, dos, tres.

• 1:12:45Speaker 01

  Nope. Tres leches, cake.

• 1:12:49Andy Frisella?

  That makes sense. What does that mean?

• 1:12:50Speaker 01

  That shit's gooey.

• 1:12:51Andy Frisella?

  Three layers of milk?

• 1:12:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, three, three, yeah, it's three milk cake.

• 1:12:54Andy Frisella?

  Three milk cake?

• 1:12:55Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:12:56Andy Frisella?

  We got that somewhere. You ate it.

• 1:12:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:12:58Andy Frisella?

  I liked it too. I ate a piece.

• 1:12:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, you did.

• 1:13:00Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, where, where was that?

• 1:13:01Speaker 01

  Uh, that was at, uh, Fall Line.

• 1:13:03Andy Frisella?

  Was it?

• 1:13:04Speaker 01

  I think that was, what was the place called?

• 1:13:05Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:05Speaker 01

  Fall Line?

• 1:13:06Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:13:06Andy Frisella?

  It's a good spot too.

• 1:13:07Speaker 01

  Good spot.

• 1:13:08Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. Fall Line up there in Vail. They took care of us.

• 1:13:11Speaker 01

  Tres leches cake.

• 1:13:12Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:12Speaker 01

  That's how I know three in Spanish.

• 1:13:14Andy Frisella?

  Shocking.

• 1:13:16Speaker 01

  All right. Headline number three.

• 1:13:18Andy Frisella?

  Headline number cake.

• 1:13:21Speaker 01

  A lot of people are upset about this. Uh, it's an interesting conversation. I'd like to get your take on it. Got to talk about social media companies here for a second. Um, US lawmakers urge Biden to extend TikTok January 19th ban deadline. So TikTok's on the move to get banned from the United States, okay? There's some interesting things that's happening.

• 1:13:44Andy Frisella?

  In a few days.

• 1:13:45Speaker 01

  A lot of people are upset about it.

• 1:13:46Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:47Speaker 01

  Um, so let's talk about it. Uh, two Democratic lawmakers on Monday urged Congress and President Joe Biden to extend a January 19th deadline for China-based ByteDance, uh, to sell the US assets of TikTok or face a US ban. The Supreme Court held arguments Friday on TikTok and ByteDance's challenge to the law. A lawyer for the company, Noel Franz, uh, Franz?

• 1:14:12Andy Frisella?

  Francisco.

• 1:14:13Speaker 01

  Said it would be impossible to complete a sale by next week's deadline. He said if banned, the short video app used by 170 million Americans would quickly go dark and quote essentially the platform shuts down. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days if he certifies ByteDance is making substantial progress towards a divestiture. But it's unlikely ByteDance can meet that standard. Senator Edward Markey said he plans to introduce legislation to delay the deadline by which ByteDance must sell TikTok or face a ban by an additional 270 days.

• 1:14:51Speaker 01

  Quote, "A ban would dismantle a one of a kind informational and cultural ecosystem, silencing millions in the process," Markey said Monday. Now, what exactly does that mean? Because it's not like, you know, TikTok would just disappear. It's not, but, but new users would not be able to download the app. But I think most people who are on TikTok, they're already on there. I think most people who aren't.

• 1:15:13Andy Frisella?

  Wait, wait, wait. So is that true?

• 1:15:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:15:15Andy Frisella?

  So if they ban it and you already have an account, you can still use it?

• 1:15:18Speaker 01

  It will still be available, but Apple, like the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, they would not.

• 1:15:25Andy Frisella?

  I don't think that's true, bro.

• 1:15:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, that's, that's what the, the ruling is here right now. This article actually talks about it because there's another app that's also coming out of China called RetNote, which I think that just screams communism to me for some reason. I don't know why.

• 1:15:41Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:41Speaker 01

  But it's.

• 1:15:43Andy Frisella?

  The new app's called Sickle and Hammer.

• 1:15:45Speaker 01

  Exactly. That's what I'm saying, right? Like, it's a little weird, you know? That's an interesting name.

• 1:15:50Andy Frisella?

  We got this new one called Throw You Off A Building.

• 1:15:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, this new app called MindCom. Like, everybody download it. It's like, what the fuck, bro? Hey.

• 1:15:58Speaker 01

  Hey.

• 1:15:59Andy Frisella?

  We got this new app. It's called Hitler.

• 1:16:02Speaker 01

  Red Note. Alright, cool. But this is supposed to be like the backup plan. So if they don't sell, and there's been talks of like Elon Musk might buy it. I don't think that's been verified. It's just been, you know, conspiracy theories thrown out there. But yeah, if they don't get somebody to buy TikTok by January 19th, the app will be illegal for distribution through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Internet service providers will also be required to make the app inaccessible to US internet browsers. But the thing is.

• 1:16:39Speaker 01

  Let me find it here for you. Um, if the ban takes effect next Sunday, Apple and Google will no longer be able to offer TikTok for downloads for new users, but existing users will still be able to access the app. US government and TikTok agree that the app would degrade and eventually become unusual over time because companies would not be able to offer support services. So yeah, so it'd still be available technically, but just no new updates, no new nothing. Um, so eventually it would just fucking kind of fizz out.

• 1:17:08Andy Frisella?

  Hmm.

• 1:17:09Speaker 01

  Um, you know, but a lot of people are freaking out, but yeah, this red note, uh, this was actually launched in 2013. It became one of China's fastest growing social platforms, uh, with a value of over 17 billion dollars. Um, known as, um.

• 1:17:27Andy Frisella?

  The Little Red Book. It translates to the Little Red Book. Do you know what the Little Red Book is? Maybe you guys should all Google that. Maybe you should read it. It's responsible for more deaths than any book in the fucking history of the world.

• 1:17:40Speaker 01

  It's not a good look.

• 1:17:41Andy Frisella?

  It's actually the second most popular book, I think, in history.

• 1:17:44Speaker 01

  What if that's the, what if that's the plan? Ban TikTok to bring in the red note? Which is like the actual fucking.

• 1:17:50Andy Frisella?

  Google Miles Little Red Book.

• 1:17:52Speaker 01

  It's actual a fucking social control.

• 1:17:55Andy Frisella?

  You know what's crazy about it is when you read it, it like, it's very convincing. Like if you read it from a state, if you read it from a.

• 1:18:02Speaker 01

  Like a non-bias.

• 1:18:03Andy Frisella?

  If you read it from a, uh.

• 1:18:05Speaker 01

  Objective.

• 1:18:05Andy Frisella?

  Uh, if you read it from a position that he's talking about freedom, you're going to read it and be like, ah, this is fucking great. Like it's, it's same thing with fucking Rules for Radicals. Like they, the books suck you in, dude. Like if you're stupid, you're gonna fucking fall for it. Anyway, what does it say? What's it say about it?

• 1:18:22Speaker 04

  Uh, it just tells me the details about it.

• 1:18:24Andy Frisella?

  Is it the, is it the second most popular book? Besides the Bible? I thought I heard that. What's, what's the top five books of all time? Top five distributed books of all time?

• 1:18:38Andy Frisella?

  I thought, I thought it was.

• 1:18:39Speaker 01

  It's probably up there. A lot of people have read it.

• 1:18:44Andy Frisella?

  I have, I have it at home.

• 1:18:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, brother.

• 1:18:46Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, dude, it sits on my coffee table.

• 1:18:48Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 1:18:52Speaker 04

  It just gives different fiction books.

• 1:18:55Andy Frisella?

  Well, anyway.

• 1:18:56Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:18:57Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, yeah, so I mean, it's not a good look.

• 1:19:01Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:19:01Andy Frisella?

  Not a good look, yeah. Number three. What? It's number three. It's the number three most distributed book of all time. Bible, Quran. Bible, Quran, red book.

• 1:19:09Speaker 04

  Damn it.

• 1:19:09Speaker 01

  That's crazy.

• 1:19:10Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:11Speaker 04

  We're second.

• 1:19:12Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:17Andy Frisella?

  I'm just saying.

• 1:19:20Andy Frisella?

  The book, the books kill more people than fucking any book ever.

• 1:19:22Speaker 01

  It's dangerous though. Uh, you know, so I mean, that, that's happened on the TikTok side. Any thoughts, theories, comments on that side?

• 1:19:30Andy Frisella?

  I mean, it'd be interesting to see what happens if they do ban it. I, I don't, you know, I, I have my own theories about why they want to ban it. I think that TikTok has become the, I, I think TikTok is, is not controlled by the left and I think that's why they hate it. That's why they hate Twitter too. And I think there's been a resurgence of conservative values, uh, Christian values that have come from the younger generations on TikTok. I believe that the young generations on TikTok have recognized the propaganda that is being pushed to them in schools, in high school and college. And they are revolting and I think a lot of that comes from TikTok. I think the reason that Donald Trump won

• 1:20:13Andy Frisella?

  so decisively was because of the flip flop of TikTok being, you know, woke, left to conservative in value. And, uh, so it makes sense why certain people want to ban it.

• 1:20:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:20:27Andy Frisella?

  I don't think Trump wants to ban it. I think Trump wants it to stay. Um, I, I don't know what's going to happen. You know, if it, if it does get banned, that's going to push a lot of people over back to meta platform.

• 1:20:43Speaker 01

  To their control.

• 1:20:44Andy Frisella?

  Right. And, um, you know, look, there's a lot of backdoor deals that are done here too. And

• 1:20:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, I see there's like three parties in the, in play here, right? So you got, you got the Democrats who can't control it because TikTok, in my opinion, it probably has one of the more freer algorithms, right? Like obviously there's some still China, like there's some influence.

• 1:21:03Andy Frisella?

  No, I think it's, I think we all agree on that.

• 1:21:04Speaker 01

  But I think it's, it has a better algorithm.

• 1:21:07Andy Frisella?

  Way more open algorithm.

• 1:21:08Speaker 01

  Right? Um. So you have Democrats who can't control that and they want to control that narrative. Then you have the rhinos that come in and because China is the biggest threat to our country. They want, they don't want the control.

• 1:21:20Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:21Speaker 01

  Theory that's there, right? But you have that third group that's kind of like. It's fine.

• 1:21:25Andy Frisella?

  Well, I, you know, look, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

• 1:21:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:21:30Andy Frisella?

  I don't know. I feel like a lot of people are lying about a lot of different things to get their way.

• 1:21:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure.

• 1:21:34Andy Frisella?

  And, and, and my, my underlying feeling is what I just said. I feel like the communist influences in this country have figured out that TikTok is actually working uh against them and not for them, which is why they don't want it here.

• 1:21:50Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:21:50Andy Frisella?

  And I think it was intended to work for them.

• 1:21:52Speaker 01

  I think so too.

• 1:21:53Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:53Speaker 01

  I think so too. Um. So I mean, it is interesting how that works, you know, but if it does get banned, like you said, I mean, it doesn't really leave us with too many options, right? Because you got Instagram, Facebook, that, that's all the same.

• 1:22:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. I mean, look, Instagram will get more left again and Twitter will get more right.

• 1:22:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:10Andy Frisella?

  And um, you know, it is what it is.

• 1:22:13Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, I mean, speaking of, of meta though, um, not sure if you, we've already talked about Zuckerberg's coming out. I made that video talking about the new.

• 1:22:20Andy Frisella?

  I think a lot of leftists are leaving the internet, dude.

• 1:22:22Speaker 01

  They should.

• 1:22:23Andy Frisella?

  No, I think they are. I think they've realized that their entire mentality and their entire worldview has been propped up through propaganda, bots and all of these things. Uh, and I think they're starting to get a temperature for what the world is really like. And they've been so abusive and so aggressive and so mean and so fucking vile for the last 10 years that they can't operate anymore because their whole strategy to operating online is to bully and gang up and cancel people and you can't cancel people when the bot system isn't working on your behalf.

• 1:22:56Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:22:56Andy Frisella?

  So we see all these leftists, you know, coming on people's shit and saying shit and they're just getting blasted.

• 1:23:01Speaker 01

  Well, that's the thing, but like, like.

• 1:23:03Andy Frisella?

  Whereas three or four years ago, they were getting celebrated.

• 1:23:06Speaker 01

  Exactly. Well, that's the thing. Like, that's what I'm gonna say. Like social media, those platforms for the last six years where it was the only place that they could go where they wasn't alone, you know what I'm saying? Because in reality, they're by themselves. It's such a small mindset group of people. There's not that many of them, but you know, on the internet, they had bot forums that all these things that they could use and pop. Oh, they're not alone. I'm not by myself. I'm not the only person who thinks a kid can chop off his penis. You know what I'm saying? Like, and it propped them up and, and it, it did a lot of damage. You know what I'm saying? But if it does go back to meta, we'll see. But we've covered Meta, we covered Zuckerberg making that new announcement, change of direction. He's already took a new step. I don't know if you've seen this. This just

• 1:23:49Speaker 01

  came out before the show. Meta announces 5% cuts in preparations for intense year. Read the internal memo. So he just laid off 5% of Meta.

• 1:24:00Andy Frisella?

  What's the intense year that he talks about?

• 1:24:02Speaker 01

  I'm assuming all these changes that he's coming into. So let's dive into this a little bit. Meta set out to cut about 5% of its workforce, focusing on the company's lowest performing staffers. Is that some?

• 1:24:15Andy Frisella?

  Meritocracy.

• 1:24:17Speaker 01

  Sounds like some meritocracy.

• 1:24:19Andy Frisella?

  Don't do your job. You get fucking fired. You know what's funny? That's how it's always been for fucking white people.

• 1:24:27Andy Frisella?

  It's the fucking truth. Bro, it's the truth.

• 1:24:29Speaker 01

  It's the truth. It's the truth. But yeah, let's dive into this. So CEO Mark Zuckerberg informed employees about the decision to quote, move out low performers faster in a memo posted on the company's internal workplace forum on Tuesday. Zuckerberg told employees 2025 will be, quote, an intense year. The company specified that it's exiting approximately 5% of our lowest performers in a separate message posted by a company director. Meta has more than 72,000 employees, according to its most recent quarterly report. So what is that? How many people is that? 5% of 72,000? What's that?

• 1:25:13Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, 3,500.

• 1:25:14Speaker 01

  3,500? Okay. I mean, let's be honest, it's probably, that's probably how many were actually fucking making these fucked up ass calls and algorithms and shit, potentially.

• 1:25:24Andy Frisella?

  No, the, no, no. Those people are active employees. The lowest 5% of your employees don't do shit.

• 1:25:34Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, they hide in the corner. They pretend to be busy. They do enough not to get fired. Uh, and that's what the lowest 5% does. The, the, the, the people who are doing what, what you are saying they're doing, those people are there for that and they're active.

• 1:25:49Speaker 01

  Hmm. Okay.

• 1:25:50Andy Frisella?

  So they're going to have to do more to rid that part of their culture out of their system. Uh, Zuck probably doesn't know that because the reality is, is you know, he's been running the company. The way he's been running it for a long time and I don't, I don't, I don't know that he knows that, but, um, you know, he could always bring me in. I could help him fix his fucking culture in about fucking 90 days.

• 1:26:13Speaker 01

  Anybody with purple hair.

• 1:26:14Andy Frisella?

  Bro, he's.

• 1:26:14Speaker 01

  Fuck out of here.

• 1:26:15Andy Frisella?

  No, no, no, no. I don't care if you have purple hair, but what I care is you do your job the way you're supposed to do it and you do it at a high level. And you believe in the mission of what it is that we stand for and what we do. And I am very, very good at that. And I could help him for real. So Zuck, give me a call, bro.

• 1:26:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, here, here's the internal memo. Uh, this was the, the memo that was released. It's not long. It's not that big, but, um, that's what she said. Let's dive into this. Uh, Meta is working on building some of the most important technologies of the world, AI glasses, um, as the next computing platform and the future of social media. This is going to be an intense year and I want to make sure we have the best people on our teams. I've decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low performers faster. We typically manage, uh, out people who aren't meeting expectations over the course of a year, but now we're going to do more extensive performance based cuts during the cycle. With the intention of backfilling these roles in 2025.

• 1:27:20Speaker 01

  We won't manage out everyone who didn't meet, uh, expectations for the last period. If we're optimistic about their future performance and for those we do let go, we'll provide generous severance in line with what we provided with previous cuts.

• 1:27:33Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he's nervous about those lawsuits that are gonna come, but the reality is, is the law has been changed. And you're not gonna get to sue anymore for that shit.

• 1:27:42Speaker 01

  No, I don't think you should be able to sue for that.

• 1:27:44Andy Frisella?

  Fuck no. Like, bro, you, listen dude, you didn't do it. No, DJ, you gotta understand. Companies have been held hostage by this shit for fucking a decade. You have a person who's not meeting expectations and they're in a protected class and you fire them. You get destroyed on the internet. You get destroyed in public perception. You get fucking sued. Okay, that's all over now. So now companies are having, we've talked about this on the show. Companies are having to move back towards meritocracy. I said this four fucking years ago on the show. I said, you better move towards pro-America. You better move towards meritocracy because that's where the fuck it's gonna go back to. And here we are, four years later, and it's exactly what's happening.

• 1:28:29Speaker 01

  Verbatim, actually.

• 1:28:31Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, bro, we have to understand. These people, these low performers, they have used their protected class to

• 1:28:41Andy Frisella?

  to leverage companies into keeping them or even into promoting them into positions. Okay, that is not okay. That is not okay. And that shit's over. And Zuckerberg is starting to realize because he's surrounding himself by good business people. Dana White's one of the best business guys in the fucking world. Okay? He's got, he's got smart people in his ear now who are being like, bro, fuck these people. Okay, they're fucking you up. They're holding you hostage. Fuck them. Rip the Band-Aid off. And then when you fix the culture and you get it right, you'll never have to deal with that again. Because the internal culture will manage those people out on their own. You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, one of those woke fucking motherfuckers comes here, what happens? They're out of here in fucking two weeks. Yeah.

• 1:29:26Speaker 01

  On their own.

• 1:29:27Andy Frisella?

  On their own, they quit.

• 1:29:28Speaker 01

  You ain't gonna fire them.

• 1:29:28Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 1:29:30Speaker 01

  That's real. That's real. I mean, listen, I it's good to see. I mean, I didn't know a change is gonna come that quick, but I mean, it is at least nice to see you stick.

• 1:29:38Andy Frisella?

  Well, no, he has to. Otherwise, he'll lose.

• 1:29:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:29:41Andy Frisella?

  If you do not change your company to a meritocracy and you continue to do this shit, where you're putting people into play that aren't good enough to be in that position, you will lose because of the market. This is what this is. This is this should be obvious.

• 1:29:59Speaker 01

  That's how it works.

• 1:29:59Andy Frisella?

  Bro, if I run a football team and I run the Dallas Cowboys and I start putting fucking, you know, dudes out there because there's not enough white dudes on the team and I put them in the positions because of their their their whiteness or whatever. They're they're Asian guys. We don't have enough Asian guys. So we put out three Asian guys. They're the fucking team's gonna lose, bro.

• 1:30:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, I couldn't see the ball.

• 1:30:22Andy Frisella?

  No. Look. Look, they're gonna lose. They're gonna lose. So if you own a company, we talk about this all the time in Arte. We talk about this all the time in Q and A S. We're gonna talk about this all the time in M S C E O. But dude, if you do not run your company to win, you're going to lose. It is the natural order. Natural order always wins. It always comes back around. It always comes back to the strongest survive and the weak ones lose and die. And Zuck's recognizing this as a forty year old dude now. Okay, who's, you know, like, bro, I think. Look, dude, a lot of people don't like the dude. I don't have an opinion on like or dislike.

• 1:31:07Andy Frisella?

  But like, I can empathize empathize with his position. The guy was one of the richest guys in the world at twenty three years old. He what the fuck? He's never been able to grow up. He's never been able to have real friends. Who the fuck are his real friends? He doesn't know because he's so much richer than everybody.

• 1:31:22Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:31:22Andy Frisella?

  You know, so I think he's starting to find his way. You know, he's doing jujitsu. He's doing these things. And by the way, people are like, well. Uh, you know, that doesn't excuse the things that he's done. Well, you know what? That's a conversation that should be had, but it seems like, and maybe he's just doing it to cover his ass. I don't fucking know, but it does seem like he's growing in a different way.

• 1:31:46Speaker 01

  It does. Yeah. Just like Stephen A. Smith. I agree. I agree. Guys, tell us what you guys think. Down in the comments, let us know chat, what you guys.

• 1:31:53Andy Frisella?

  I have a hard time judging somebody who has been in a unique situation like that, that really nobody can understand.

• 1:32:01Speaker 01

  Well, not the thing though. Doesn't everybody think they have a unique situation? Like it's, you know what I'm saying? Like this is a true.

• 1:32:06Andy Frisella?

  Do when you're 22 years old and you're one of the richest men in the world.

• 1:32:09Speaker 01

  Like, like that is a.

• 1:32:10Andy Frisella?

  Twenty-two. Okay. If I was fucking as rich as I am now at 22, you'd find me in a fucking gutter with cocaine all over my face and a fucking, you know,

• 1:32:22Andy Frisella?

  who knows what?

• 1:32:23Speaker 01

  He's doing good just to be alive.

• 1:32:24Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. Probably have a butt plug in or some fucking weird ass shit. Like I probably, you know, like I'd be one of them dudes.

• 1:32:30Speaker 01

  Eating clam chowder.

• 1:32:31Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, that's right, bro. Like it would, it would, it would mess you up.

• 1:32:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:32:36Andy Frisella?

  You know what I'm saying? And the fact that he's not like totally fucked.

• 1:32:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, that says a lot.

• 1:32:41Andy Frisella?

  I think so.

• 1:32:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, I agree with it, man. I agree. Guys, let us know down in the comments what you guys think. Uh, with that being said, let's get to our final segment of the show as always. We got thumbs up are dumb as fuck. Um, you're a business guy, right? Podcaster, YouTuber. That's business.

• 1:32:57Andy Frisella?

  You know, I just mess around with.

• 1:32:58Speaker 01

  Do a couple of things, right?

• 1:33:00Andy Frisella?

  Not very good at it.

• 1:33:01Speaker 01

  Well, I, I, I think, you know, I would describe you as a branding genius. You're, you're very good with that stuff.

• 1:33:06Andy Frisella?

  Well, we're about to find out.

• 1:33:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:33:08Andy Frisella?

  Just gonna let that simmer on your guys' brains.

• 1:33:11Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, I, I wanted to get, you know, a, a, uh, an experienced, uh, veteran entrepreneur's take on a, a company doing some new branding stuff.

• 1:33:21Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 1:33:21Speaker 01

  All right. We got, uh, we got Walmart unveils new logo for the first time in almost 20 years and shoppers are stunned by brand refresh. Okay. You seen this?

• 1:33:35Andy Frisella?

  No.

• 1:33:35Speaker 01

  Okay. All right. This is good. All right. This is good. Here we go. Okay. So Walmart has updated its logo for the first time in 20 years and shoppers are seriously stunned. The retailer described.

• 1:33:46Andy Frisella?

  Vibes, the new look as comprehensive brand refresh that reflects its evolution. But many beg to differ. Um, according to the company, one of the key features of the refresh includes a word mark. Um, inspired by founder Sam Walton's classic trucker hat with the modern uh custom font, the color palette. True blue and spark yellow was updated to keep the brand fresh. Okay. So comprehensive brand uh refresh uh that reflects its evolution. Okay. Now, for those of you guys who have forgotten what the Walmart logo looks like, this is the logo. So here's the before. You ready for the after?

• 1:34:28Andy Frisella?

  Shut the fuck up. Come on, dude.

• 1:34:32Andy Frisella?

  Come on. Hey. That's, this is bullshit. This is real. No, it's not. This is real. Okay. Before. Come on, that is lies. Bro, listen. All right, now the, the, the text, they have two logos, right? This is like the just signature trademark sign, right? Uh, here's the wording before.

• 1:34:53Andy Frisella?

  After. A comprehensive refresh.

• 1:34:59Andy Frisella?

  You guys are fucking punking me. I swear to God, bro, this is real. Is this real? I know Zishan tell me the truth. This is real. Zishan's my minister of truth over here. Zishan's my Mary Poppins of truth.

• 1:35:12Speaker 04

  Or policy officer.

• 1:35:14Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, that's right. You're everything. If I, if I need to know something, I ask him. Is that true? This is true. Really?

• 1:35:19Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:35:21Andy Frisella?

  Well, this is an example. No, listen, bro. This is an example of what we're talking about. What we were talking about with Meta. You got all these people by committee and nobody wants to make a mistake. Nobody wants to fuck anything up. And dude, they probably paid thirty million dollars for some sort of market research. Two point one. Two point one million dollars. No, that's not even what they pay their employees and all this other shit, dude. Like, and it probably took them a year to figure it out. And all of these people show up and, and they don't do anything. And, and, and this is what they have to show. And I mean, dude, this is, this is corporate. Inefficiency that is reflective in, in, in their work, you know, like I would fire every single person.

• 1:36:05Speaker 01

  I was just about to ask, okay, so you're, you're, you're Sam Walton.

• 1:36:07Andy Frisella?

  I would fire, Sam Walton's dead, but if Sam Walton were alive, he, Sam Walton would fire fucking 80% of the people that work at Walmart.

• 1:36:15Speaker 01

  Today.

• 1:36:16Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he would. Not, not because he doesn't care about people because Sam Walton was actually very famous about caring about people. But what Sam Walton was also famous for was he cared about details. This dude used to go into all of his stores and measure the width of his aisles with a measuring tape. And if it was one fucking sixteenth of an inch off, he would make the entire fucking shelf be torn apart, taken down and move a 16 inch show. It's all perfect. This dude was the ultimate detail oriented entrepreneur. And if you go read books about him, I mean, dude, he's, he, listen, he was awesome. That's why Walmart's so, so tremendously good.

• 1:36:58Andy Frisella?

  But what Walmart stands for today is not what Walmart stood for when he ran it. Okay. And I think if he were here today, I think he'd be very upset with what's been done with this company in, in a lot of different ways. I mean, let's be real, dude. You know, like you probably don't remember this and, and Joe, you might remember this. Uh, do you remember when Walmart didn't have super centers and then they just came, do you remember Walmart was just like a Woolworths?

• 1:37:25Speaker 07

  I do.

• 1:37:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. So, so Walmart used to be just like a True Value or like a Woolworths or like a fucking general store. Okay. And then I, it was probably 30 years ago, they came out with a fucking super center. Okay. And the super center had groceries. That was the big thing. You get the groceries and then it became, you can get all your home goods there, right?

• 1:37:46Speaker 01

  Automotive shit.

• 1:37:46Andy Frisella?

  Yes. But when you went into Walmart, when they first did that, bro, it was fucking perfect. It was perfect. It was perfectly clean. Everything was facing perfect. It was, it was like an amazing thing to go to a Walmart super center because of how perfect it was. And now you go in one, I mean, there's fucking people of Walmart. Now you go in one and it, bro, that's what I'm saying. It looks like fucking shit. And so when I say he'd fire everybody, I don't think I, he would rehire people.

• 1:38:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure.

• 1:38:18Andy Frisella?

  But there would be different standards.

• 1:38:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:38:21Andy Frisella?

  So anyway, yeah, this is, this is insane, dude. And that's, that's embarrassing, you know, to the, the, the whole branding department of that company uh, should be fired. No, listen, I'm being, I'm being serious, dude.

• 1:38:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, somebody said, I can't believe someone got paid for this. Uh, somebody else said, I hope people will still be able to recognize that's Walmart.

• 1:38:46Andy Frisella?

  That's, dude, that's insane.

• 1:38:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude, it's wild, man. I don't know. Thumbs up or thumbs, or dumb as fuck on this one.

• 1:38:51Andy Frisella?

  This is the dumbest shit we've ever had on here. It's, dude, imagine being the person who is the lead of the, the brand graphic design team. Coming to, like, imagine if this were me.

• 1:39:05Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 1:39:06Andy Frisella?

  Like, yeah. No, for real. Imagine if this were me.

• 1:39:11Speaker 01

  Ain't happening.

• 1:39:12Andy Frisella?

  And they, and they, and I said, hey, guys.

• 1:39:14Speaker 01

  I want a complete.

• 1:39:15Andy Frisella?

  I want a complete brand refresh.

• 1:39:16Speaker 01

  Wait, wait, you gotta use their words. Hold on, use their words.

• 1:39:18Andy Frisella?

  Comprehensive brand refresh. Okay, don't bring me anything until it's fucking perfect.

• 1:39:27Speaker 01

  Comprehensive.

• 1:39:28Andy Frisella?

  And then they turn around and freak, freak me like our, our regular logo back again.

• 1:39:32Speaker 01

  Sales at ninety degrees.

• 1:39:33Andy Frisella?

  No, dude, with like a sharper color.

• 1:39:39Andy Frisella?

  Wow. Man, it's reflective of corporate attitude, though. Nobody wants to make a decision. Nobody wants to make a mistake. And, you know, we'll throw a little Q and A F in here. Um, if you're one of these people that works inside of a company who is a total coward and you're trying to like not make a mistake, you're never gonna make any money. You're never gonna be successful. You're never gonna do anything because the best people, the best ideas, the best things come from people that are willing to step outside what is comfortable to present. And that doesn't mean it's gonna, you're gonna get your way. But at least, like, my best people that I work with, they will bring me things that are different than what we're doing. So we can say, okay, we can go in that direction or this direction or that.

• 1:40:19Andy Frisella?

  And, and because people are so fearful, they hold themselves back because they can't move, they can't move outside the idea that, well, if I do this, I'm gonna get in trouble. Motherfucker, what the fuck are you talking about?

• 1:40:31Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:40:31Andy Frisella?

  You're paid to push shit forward. Let's do some cool shit.

• 1:40:35Speaker 01

  Push some shit forward.

• 1:40:36Andy Frisella?

  That's what I'm saying. So if you're one of those people, bro, you better break out of that. You're gonna be broke forever.

• 1:40:40Speaker 01

  I love it, man. I love it. Well, guys, Andy, that's all I got.

• 1:40:44Andy Frisella?

  All right, guys. Don't be a hoe.
