  Cruise the motherfucking internet.

  That's what we're gonna do. That's what CTI stands for. Cruise the internets. We put topics on the screen. We talk about what's going on. We speculate, tell some jokes and then we talk about what we the people gotta do to make these problems go away in society. If this is your first time listening, we have shows within the show. On Monday, you're gonna hear Q and A F. That's where you submit questions and we give you the answers. Now, the questions could be about anything, but typically they're about how to win, how to make more money, how to do better in life and business, how to kick ass and just being all around bad motherfucker. And those come out on Mondays and you can submit your questions a few different ways. DJ will tell you how.

• 1:05Speaker 01

  Yeah. Other times, we're gonna have real talk. Real talk's just five 20 minutes and be giving you some real talk. And then sometimes we have 75 hard verses. If you're unfamiliar with 75 hard, it is the world's most famous mental transformation program ever. It is the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which is available for free at episode 208 on the audio feed only. There's also a book for sale called The Book on Mental Toughness. You can get that at andyfrisella.com. Basically, it's the entire way to get your shit together. All right. Also, I wanted to address this up front. A lot of you guys are asking me about the clips that are coming out that look like I'm on a

• 1:59Andy Frisella?

  completely different podcast. That's because I am. It's called the MFCEO Project and it is on the Operator Standard, which is an app that I built that is the closest thing that you could ever possibly do to guarantee success. Okay? So if you're interested in hearing that show, go download the app Operator Standard. You can get that at the App Store or wherever and you'll have access to that. But the podcast is just the icing. Okay? The main product is fucking amazing. And if you use it, it really takes the guesswork out of winning and becoming who it is you want to

• 2:40Andy Frisella?

  be. And if you follow it, dude, there's no closer way to guaranteeing success. So go check that out. Operatorstandard.com, the Operator Standard app. That's where you'll find the MFCEO Project. So, and guys, also remember, subscribe to the channels. Okay? A lot of you guys watch the clips and watch the videos or you go on YouTube and you're not subscribed. Make sure you subscribe. Okay? Make sure you subscribe on audio as well. That way you'll know when the actual episodes drop.

• 3:07Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, with that being said, man, we don't run ads on the show. We're the biggest show in the world. It does not run ads. We ask very simply that you help us pay the fee by sharing the show. All right? The show makes you think, it makes you laugh, gives you a new perspective, something you think needs to be put out there. Don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. What's up, dude?

• 3:24Speaker 01

  What's good, gang?

• 3:26Andy Frisella?

  Nothing. I figured I'd talk about that MFCEO project, man. A lot of people are confused on where to find that. You know, we talked about it for years and years and years and then we put it in the app and you know, people are like, where is this? Where the fuck is this? Yeah, right. So that's where it is.

• 3:41Speaker 01

  Hell, yeah, dude. Operator Standard is gas.

• 3:43Andy Frisella?

  It's the fucking shit. It's the greatest piece. It's the greatest use of AI technology

• 3:50Andy Frisella?

  being used right now. Okay? Like, that's the truth. Most of AI is being used to make people's lives easier, which is making them dumber, more dependent, more, you know, subservient to the powers that be. And what our goal here is to make strong, independent thinking, fit, healthy, winning individuals. And because that's how you remove yourself from the programming, from the matrix, so to speak. And

• 4:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, use their tools against them.

• 4:19Andy Frisella?

  Bro, we've had it for, we've had it going for 10 months now and, bro, the people are fucking winning. And what's cool about it is, is like, you know, with social media becoming like one big advertisement, you know, and then you have all the troll. There's no fucking trolls. Okay? Everybody's wanting to win. Everybody's helping to win. Everybody's doing something. You get to meet people who are aligned with you. And that's like all the extra shit, you know?

• 4:48Speaker 01

  That's just the byproduct.

• 4:49Andy Frisella?

  The main product is just fucking amazing, dude. So, you know, go check that out, dude. You know, it's not free, but like, what you get out of it is worth exponentially more than what you pay for. I mean, dude, like, it's the price of a fucking delivery pizza once a month. Like, if you're not willing to trade your entire fucking achievement for the price of a pizza once a month, then you ain't gonna fucking make it anyway. So.

• 5:12Speaker 01

  It's probably cheaper than the price of pizza right now.

• 5:13Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, no shit.

• 5:15Speaker 01

  So that'll help fix that, man. Hell, yeah, dog. Well, yeah, dude, we got a lot of really awesome shit to cover and talk about, but I wanted to bring up something first, man, because I have a confession.

• 5:27Andy Frisella?

  Okay. What'd you steal?

• 5:36Speaker 01

  I have a confession. I, I am an Ella Fella.

• 5:43Andy Frisella?

  An Ella Fella?

• 5:44Speaker 01

  I'm an Ella Fella. I'm an Ella Fella.

  Who doesn't like Ella Langley?

• 5:59Speaker 01

  Who couldn't? You know what I'm saying? And she's fucking killing it right now. I had to listen, you know, I give a little plug, man. She's fucking killing it. She has the longest running number one hit of all time.

• 6:11Andy Frisella?

  That's crazy.

• 6:11Speaker 01

  It's fucking insane. It's insane.

• 6:14Andy Frisella?

  I saw that. She dethroned Mariah Carey, which is great because that song, like, what's it? It's All I Want for Christmas song? Yeah, I can't wait to not hear that.

• 6:26Speaker 01

  Well, I mean, it's a prize be, right? Because usually it's black women beating white women. So for this to be the other way around, it's like, all right. What's wrong with you, man?

• 6:37Andy Frisella?

  No, that's cool.

• 6:38Speaker 01

  Dude, it's fucking sick, dude. Yeah, she's killing it. Choosing Texas. It's 23 weeks right now. It's the number one hit, longest running number one hit in the US. 23 weeks at the top spot and the all John Riffa billboard, Hot 100, man. She's killing it, dude.

  If it's just, do you like Ella Langley? Like, yeah.

• 7:07Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 7:08Speaker 01

  Everybody does.

• 7:08Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 7:09Speaker 01

  Ladies can be Ella Fella, too.

• 7:10Andy Frisella?

  Bro, it's fun to watch her. Like, if you go back and look at her like two, three years ago, four years ago, like her transformation, like, to see a young person, you know, come in and really just disrupt an entire fucking music industry.

• 7:29Speaker 01

  Ecosystem, yeah.

• 7:30Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. And be pretty much universally liked. You know, that's rare. But it's hard not to like her because she seems cool as fuck.

• 7:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:40Andy Frisella?

  You know?

• 7:40Speaker 01

  I gotta go to a concert.

• 7:42Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

  That's right. That's right. Yeah, guys, remember, if you would like to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andyfrisella.com. We link them for you there or just check the description. That's where we list them. Shall we begin the cruise?

• 8:12Andy Frisella?

  Let's, let's begin.

• 8:15Speaker 01

  Headline one.

• 8:17Andy Frisella?

  Hmm.

• 8:19Speaker 01

  Headline one, we gotta talk about it. We got the United Nations General Assembly happening and there are some things happening. Going straight to the White House website, President Trump at the United Nations, "While others have talked, I have acted." This is on the website. "Today, President Donald J. Trump addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly and delivered a powerful message. American strength and resolve is back. President Trump declared that under his leadership, America is stronger than ever and we will use that strength to comfort, confront our enemies, protect our interests, forbid communism, reject global control, and always defend our sovereignty."

• 9:04Speaker 01

  That sounds great. Now, you know, the United Nations General Assembly, it gets a lot of heat every now and then, you know, some people say it's just kind of off the show. I do have an all time favorite moment of the General Assembly from the UN. And we gotta go, a couple of years ago, bro, it was the President of Haiti. Okay? This is probably my all time favorite fucking moment at the UN.

• 9:30Speaker 02

  Respect.

• 9:35Speaker 01

  Oh, man, no way.

• 9:38Speaker 02

  Respect for its dignity and its right to a dignified and prosperous existence.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  Bro was thirsty.

• 9:46Andy Frisella?

  He drank out the pitcher.

• 9:47Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yep.

• 9:50Andy Frisella?

  He came from Haiti. Probably the first time he's seen a pitcher water in a while.

• 9:57Andy Frisella?

  You know what I'm saying? I better get that clean water while I can.

• 10:00Speaker 01

  Oh, fuck, man.

• 10:01Andy Frisella?

  You know that shit's true.

• 10:04Andy Frisella?

  He's like, I gotta go back to fucking Haiti.

• 10:06Speaker 01

  It's a whole thing of water.

• 10:07Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 10:08Speaker 01

  But yeah, that's my favorite moment. But, you know, this year's a little hot. It's a little hot.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  Benjamin Netanyahu, he arrived, he delivered a defiant UN speech while facing protest and political isolation. So he just took the stage today and gave a little speech. Interestingly enough, of course, he's gonna cover all of the, you know, big elephants in the room. But there was not a lot of people in the room. There was a massive walkout, literally as soon as he was introduced.

• 10:37Andy Frisella?

  Really?

• 10:38Speaker 01

  Let's check the clip.

• 10:39Speaker 03

  Okay, we're gonna take you straight to the United Nations General Assembly in New York because the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is just going to be the stage. Let's have a listen.

• 10:53Andy Frisella?

  No way.

• 10:54Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:56Andy Frisella?

  Wow.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  Dude, a lot of, this is, now, people have walked out every year. This is the most that have ever walked out. They walk out when he comes up every year. He's on the stage, they start to walk him out. In response to this,

• 11:10Speaker 01

  how embarrassing.

• 11:15Speaker 01

  Now, in response to this, he called them moral cowards.

• 11:20Andy Frisella?

  He called them moral cowards?

• 11:21Speaker 01

  He called them moral cowards in his response to them walking out.

• 11:26Andy Frisella?

  What, because they don't like you?

• 11:28Speaker 03

  You can see delegates all working.

• 11:31Andy Frisella?

  That's kind of the fucking mark of a dictator, right? Like, you don't like me, so there's something wrong with you.

• 11:34Speaker 01

  Something wrong with you.

• 11:35Andy Frisella?

  Like, at what point do you, do you question, like, oh, well, maybe it's me?

• 11:40Speaker 01

  Yeah. At what point do you?

• 11:41Andy Frisella?

  I think he knows it's him. He doesn't give a fuck.

• 11:42Speaker 01

  He knows. Yeah, he also called out, uh, he also called out Zoran Mamdani, mayor of New York City, um, saying that he's making New York City less safe for Jews. Um, so that was also a big thing.

• 11:56Andy Frisella?

  No, not at all. You're making New York City less safe for Jews.

• 11:59Speaker 01

  I don't think people understand the difference. Like, they don't understand, like, like, what do you mean by that? Like, how, how is that possible? Andy, what do you mean?

• 12:06Andy Frisella?

  What do you mean, Howard? I mean, sorry, I'm eating lunch. You haven't eaten yet.

• 12:09Speaker 01

  No, you're good. Like, he's, he's, he's making, he's making it much harder for the average day Jewish person.

• 12:15Andy Frisella?

  Absolutely. Yeah. All the shit he does, all the shit his little sect of the government of Israel does, makes antisemitism rise.

• 12:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:26Andy Frisella?

  And unfortunately, we have people that do not have the capability to separate themselves from the everyday Jewish person and the country of Israel, and all of the corrupt shit that Benjamin Netanyahu does, and all of the shit that everybody disagrees with, all the reasons that these people are walking out, are the reasons that if there is an unsafe environment being created, is being created by you. And he knows that, okay? And they know that.

• 12:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:57Andy Frisella?

  They want Jewish people to be vulnerable. They want to create a dangerous environment for Jewish people, because that allows them to raise the flag of antisemitism and hide behind it.

• 13:11Speaker 01

  It's the perfect defense.

• 13:12Andy Frisella?

  Absolutely.

• 13:13Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah, it's the perfect defense. And, and like, I, I know we've pointed this out, like, guys, it ha, like, it happens. Don't, don't listen to them like, oh, that, that can, it, it happens. They, it's a common tactic that's used everywhere. It's no different.

• 13:25Andy Frisella?

  They've been doing this, Israel's been doing this, and the, the, this little sect of, um, pretend Jewish people, which is running Israel right now, um, they're not even Semitic people. They're, they're, they're fucking Eastern European. Um, these people, these people are intentionally putting Jewish people at risk so that they can get away with doing nefarious shit

• 13:54Andy Frisella?

  when, and say, oh, dude, what are you, what are you racist? What are you antisemitic?

• 13:58Speaker 01

  Right.

• 13:58Andy Frisella?

  What are you doing? You're calling me out. There's something wrong with you. Uh, that doesn't work anymore, dude.

• 14:03Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 14:03Andy Frisella?

  It's not working.

• 14:04Speaker 01

  I'm saying, and we, and we've seen this. We, we've seen this happen in BLM, right? Where, you know, they confuse the statement with the organization. And if you question one, you're questioning both. It's the overgeneralization that people fall into that trap, right? They do this with even LGBT. You got pedophiles hiding under that fucking flag. They, and so if you attack the pedophile, oh, you're attacked. No. All right? Like, it's, it's very, it's a very genius tactic in one way.

• 14:28Andy Frisella?

  Well, it's used across all protected categories.

• 14:30Speaker 01

  Yeah. You know, but now, while people were walking out of Netanyahu's speech, what was happening on the outside of the UN General Assembly? Um, and I thought this was a very interesting article. "New York City Jews, Israelis, Anti-Zionists Plan Protest During Netanyahu's Visit to United Nations." Uh, mainstream Jewish net, uh, Jewish groups, leftist Jewish and Israeli and anti-Zionist a, uh, activists have announced protests this week during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to New York City for the United Nations. Uh, the array of protests reflected the fraught politics surrounding Netanyahu's visit and widespread opposition to Israel in the city, as well as concerns about antisemitism and domestic Israeli politics.

• 15:14Speaker 01

  Um, I thought that was interesting, because not only do you have, you know, the, what they call the anti-Zionist group, uh, they don't want Netanyahu there, but you also have, and this is a point that I think, you know, not, is not made enough, but there are plenty of Jewish people that also do not fucking like this.

• 15:31Andy Frisella?

  No, it's the majority of Jewish people. That's, that's the, that's the truth.

• 15:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:36Andy Frisella?

  Okay? So, this is what we've been talking about for years and years. I mean, here we're seeing it, you know, so like, you know, oh, we walked out on Netanyahu. We don't believe in what he says. We don't like what he says. Well, what's wrong? You, you fucking hate Jewish people. No. We hate what you're fucking doing. We hate that you think that this is your country, and we hate that you influence our policy decisions, and we hate that our president seems to answer to you. We don't like this shit, okay? And they don't like it either. And the reason that you have Jewish people protesting this is because of what we just said.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 16:17Andy Frisella?

  They end up feeling the brunt of

• 16:22Andy Frisella?

  the, the repercussions that this man creates. It's no different than, it's no different than when they, when they said, you know, when nine, nine 11 happened, and people can't separate a, a regular guy from, that has Middle Eastern descent from a fucking terrorist, okay? It's the same thing as Zishan saying, you know, I hate that a, a lot of these Indians that come here do these things, because then I get blamed for it, and I get looked at strangely, because I'm Indian.

• 16:54Speaker 01

  Right.

• 16:54Andy Frisella?

  Even though I don't believe in anything that they fucking believe.

• 16:57Speaker 01

  Right.

• 16:58Andy Frisella?

  Right?

• 16:58Speaker 01

  When black people steal cars and shit, like, that's not me.

• 17:01Andy Frisella?

  No, dude, we make jokes and shit, but that's the same thing. Yeah. Like, dude, yeah, right. Like, people go, look at you. Dude, as nice as you are, and as cool as you are, and as much as you hate that, you walk into places and people have assumptions because you're a black man.

• 17:16Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 17:17Andy Frisella?

  And that, those assumptions come from the actions of

• 17:20Speaker 01

  Of a few.

• 17:20Andy Frisella?

  The, yes!

• 17:21Speaker 01

  Of a few.

• 17:22Andy Frisella?

  And that is what we're dealing with here, too.

• 17:23Speaker 01

  A hundred percent, dude. I just thought that was interesting, because I do, people, like, again, generalization. We, like, we talk about all the time. It's bad. It's wrong.

• 17:31Andy Frisella?

  Well, until the

• 17:31Speaker 01

  It's a trap you fall into.

• 17:33Andy Frisella?

  Bro, listen, man, until the, the populace can understand the play that's being run against them and be smarter than that, it will continue to work. They, they get away with what they get away with, because they cultivate

• 17:51Andy Frisella?

  fighting each other versus us, all of us joining together and fighting the people who are creating the problem. So, the more animosity that they create on the ground level, the less likely we are to recognize who's creating it.

• 18:04Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 18:04Andy Frisella?

  And that's the play. And that's why they get along with things. And that's, that's, or that's why they get away with things. And that's why, you know, when you, when you say, hey, I don't want fucking Ukrainian flags in, in the, in the chamber. I don't want Israeli flags in the chamber. You know, it's funny, when we, when you were saying, when we were saying, hey, we don't want Zelensky in our fucking Congress, nobody was saying, oh, you fucking hate all Ukrainians.

• 18:27Speaker 01

  That's right. Isn't that weird?

• 18:28Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. But, but you say you don't want an Israeli flag, and, and you hate all Jews.

• 18:32Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 18:33Andy Frisella?

  You're a terrible person. That, that's just not true.

• 18:36Speaker 01

  No, it's, it's not logical.

• 18:37Andy Frisella?

  And America's not buying it anymore.

• 18:38Speaker 01

  No.

• 18:39Andy Frisella?

  Like, the, the, that, we are past that point, and the more they try to play that, the worse past that point we're gonna get, like, because people are fed up with it, dude.

• 18:49Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's, it's tough, man. I got a lot of guys working up there right now, a lot of friends that I know that they've been working, uh, you know, security.

• 18:57Andy Frisella?

  Dangerous place right now.

• 18:58Speaker 01

  It's fucking hot, dude. It is fucking hot right now. Um.

• 19:02Andy Frisella?

  God, these fuckers are good.

• 19:03Speaker 01

  Just eating off.

• 19:04Andy Frisella?

  The problem is

• 19:05Speaker 01

  They look average sized.

• 19:07Andy Frisella?

  Well, they're white, they're white. They come from the white rapper. You know what I'm saying?

• 19:15Andy Frisella?

  But, no, dude, the, the biggest thing that we fucked, like, for me, like, we, you know, we get these at Target. The, the, the minis are at Target and grocery stores, which, by the way, don't forget to pick you up some. Um, but like, dude, when you got like, just like one meat stick, you know, it's over. But now you got a bag, and you're just like, fucking hammer protein.

• 19:35Speaker 01

  Can't you just have one?

• 19:36Andy Frisella?

  No, you can't. Especially these barbecue ones, bro. These barbecue ones are straight fire.

• 19:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm the, I'm the jalapeno cheddar guy, you know?

• 19:44Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 19:45Speaker 01

  I like the jalapeno cheddar.

• 19:46Andy Frisella?

  Anybody want some, want some meat? Slaying meat in here.

• 19:53Andy Frisella?

  That's what I'm good at, throwing meat around.

• 19:58Speaker 01

  That was good. All right, I'm sorry. Yeah, man, guys, jump into this conversation, man. Uh, let us know down in the comments

• 20:04Andy Frisella?

  Those fuckers are good.

• 20:05Speaker 01

  What you guys think.

• 20:08Speaker 01

  Let's keep cruising, shall we? Headline two.

• 20:12Andy Frisella?

  Oh, yeah, He-Man. He-Man is eating that meat.

• 20:15Speaker 01

  And, and Hellcat Man.

• 20:19Andy Frisella?

  He-Man definitely likes the meat.

• 20:22Andy Frisella?

  I'm just saying.

• 20:23Speaker 01

  Does he?

• 20:25Andy Frisella?

  That's not He-Man. That's Andy-Man.

• 20:29Speaker 01

  All right, man, uh, let's keep cruising, guys. We got headline two. Like I said, there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of big time figures that are in the United States right now. Even in St. Louis, I didn't see this, or I saw this late, but, um, there's like a, a, a massive, like, Catholic meeting happening here.

• 20:42Andy Frisella?

  Really?

• 20:43Speaker 01

  Right now, yeah. And, uh, one of the, I did see one of the, uh, bishops, he, he straight up called out. He's like, you know, you guys need to wake, basically wake up, communism's here, like, need to be a little bit more pressed on that and stuff. Like, it was pretty awesome. Um, but there's a lot of big time things happening, and, uh, this is, um, you know, one of the bigger stories out there. We got Xi Jinping Pooh Bear is in town.

• 21:05Andy Frisella?

  Pooh Bear.

• 21:06Speaker 01

  Pooh Bear is in town. Uh, President Trump welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington DC with coverage brought to you by Lindell TV and Real America's Voice. Um, he's rolling out the 100-foot red carpet for Xi Jinping with an arrival ceremony that is set to include cannons, a 21-gun salute, presentation of colors, uh, the United States Air Force band, uh, platoons from each branch of the United States military, and American flower presenters. Um, there's also, there was a flyover, uh, to B-1 Lancers. Um, this clip right here is getting a lot of attention, uh, because, and I, I, you know, obviously, I, you know, we'll see what your opinion is of it. Uh, it's not a look, not a good look for President Trump, man. Let's check this clip.

• 22:08Speaker 01

  Is that right there?

• 22:09Andy Frisella?

  It's not that. That's not even the worst part.

• 22:12Speaker 01

  What's the worst part?

• 22:13Andy Frisella?

  First of all, I will say this. I've been to a number of airshows because I like airplanes. That is the loudest motherfucking airplane I've ever heard in my life, a B1.

• 22:21Speaker 01

  They're fucking loud.

• 22:21Andy Frisella?

  Oh my god. Okay? So like, you could like feel it in your soul when it goes by. But like, what I didn't like about it

• 22:32Andy Frisella?

  is like Trump, you could see in this picture, Trump's clearly trying to be like, whoa, look how powerful we are.

• 22:41Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 22:42Andy Frisella?

  And Z's like, this shit like, that was cheesy.

• 22:46Speaker 01

  He does not look concerned.

• 22:47Andy Frisella?

  No, he didn't. He looked like this, that's ridiculous. Like that was look, Trump's looking like, look how badass we are. And Z's like, this is retarded.

• 22:55Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 22:56Andy Frisella?

  Like, that's what he's looking at.

• 22:57Speaker 01

  We got robots, nigga.

• 22:58Andy Frisella?

  Did you see his face?

• 22:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:00Andy Frisella?

  It was like, he was like,

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Cool.

• 23:02Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cool. I did see somebody, they mentioned that like, apparently like, Z really wants some B1s.

• 23:09Andy Frisella?

  He really what?

• 23:10Speaker 01

  He like, he likes B1s. He really wants.

• 23:11Andy Frisella?

  They're badass.

• 23:12Speaker 01

  He wants them for his country.

• 23:13Andy Frisella?

  Oh really?

• 23:14Speaker 01

  It was more of an intentional play then.

• 23:15Andy Frisella?

  Okay.

• 23:16Speaker 01

  Maybe.

• 23:17Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 23:17Speaker 01

  Alright, you know, I'll bite. Sure, right?

• 23:20Andy Frisella?

  I just, I don't know. It just, it seemed, it was, he was so, um, Z was so stoic about it, that it made, it made the whole thing like, kinda cheesy.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:31Andy Frisella?

  You know?

• 23:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, there wasn't really any reaction from him.

• 23:33Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 23:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 23:37Andy Frisella?

  He looks mildly annoyed.

• 23:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, Pooh's cool.

• 23:39Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 23:40Speaker 01

  You know, he's chilling, you know? Uh, now, things have been.

• 23:43Andy Frisella?

  That's like, that's like inviting someone to your house.

• 23:47Andy Frisella?

  And then,

• 23:49Andy Frisella?

  like walking them through your gun room.

• 23:51Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 23:52Andy Frisella?

  You know what I'm saying? Like, on the way to that, on the way in the.

• 23:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:55Andy Frisella?

  You know, like,

• 23:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:57Andy Frisella?

  Check out all my guns.

• 23:58Speaker 01

  Alright, dude.

• 23:58Andy Frisella?

  Don't fuck with me.

• 23:59Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 24:00Andy Frisella?

  I got fucking guns too, dude. You know?

• 24:02Speaker 01

  That's right. That's right. He's like, alright dude, cool. Uh, now, things have been heating up though, Andy. Uh, things have been heating up between US and Chinese. Uh, specifically the press. Um, it's been reported, there's been some skirmishes between US and Chinese press. Um, Chinese delegation press members stepping on women, pushing them.

• 24:27Andy Frisella?

  Really?

• 24:27Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, bro. And there's some videos, and there's been some, the tensions have been rising.

• 24:31Andy Frisella?

  Hmm.

• 24:32Speaker 01

  Um, Major skirmish broke out between US and Chinese media on the White House lawn moments before President Donald Trump's lavish welcome Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Uh, tensions were high as press scrambled to get into place ahead of the leader's arrival. Uh, video shows heated shouting between Chinese press and the US Secret Service as they directed the media to get behind a bold security perimeter. Let's check the clips.

• 25:12Speaker 01

  So that's one angle, here's another angle. Those are two Secret Service women, uh, checking one guy's credentials.

• 25:22Speaker 01

  They eventually actually escorted him away. Uh, it's been pretty hot.

• 25:26Andy Frisella?

  I mean, that's not really that.

• 25:28Speaker 01

  Not too crazy.

• 25:29Andy Frisella?

  I think you're making something out of nothing.

• 25:31Speaker 01

  Okay, alright. You know, uh, you know, but my thing is like, dude, they made the cameras, you might as well let them use them. You know what I'm saying?

• 25:41Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, you're, you're, you deny me my birthright?

• 25:48Andy Frisella?

  Bro, you know, moving a camera away from a, from a Chinese man is kinda like, that's like cutting his dick off.

• 25:54Speaker 01

  I made this.

• 25:55Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. That's removing human rights.

• 26:01Speaker 01

  Uh, but what is interesting though, so we, we've actually, I think this is the most we've actually heard from Xi Jinping um, during, during this particular meeting. Um, when he was addressing the press, obviously this being loosely translated for him. Um, he actually dropped, uh, you know, talking about Chinese and US relations. Uh, saying that obviously they want China, China to prosper. Uh, but they also look to see America be made great again. Check this clip.

• 26:34Speaker 04

  Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. Let us meet the people's expectation and show our historical initiative. Let us keep advancing the cause of friendship between our two peoples and work together to build a better world.

• 27:00Andy Frisella?

  Thank you. Well, I mean, they need that.

• 27:03Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 27:04Andy Frisella?

  They need our trade partner, bro.

• 27:05Speaker 01

  They absolutely need it.

• 27:06Andy Frisella?

  That's the thing with, with China and the US. It's like, they're, they need each other's economies. We need theirs, they need ours. And, you know, there's this constant race, but the reality is, is like, if you could create some sort of harmony between the two, dude, I mean, you would have prosperity across the globe.

• 27:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:25Andy Frisella?

  Right?

• 27:26Speaker 01

  We both can eat.

• 27:27Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 27:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:27Andy Frisella?

  And, and you know, for whatever reason, you know, there's always been this tension, which I think is natural, right? Like, even in business, you know, you have people that you do business with, that you're friends with, that are also

• 27:45Andy Frisella?

  competitors.

• 27:46Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 27:47Andy Frisella?

  And there's always a little bit of tension there, but.

• 27:50Speaker 01

  It's supposed to be, right?

• 27:51Andy Frisella?

  Yes, but the collaborations that come from that typically are exponentially powerful, right? So, you know, hearing that is good.

• 28:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 28:02Andy Frisella?

  Um, I think China's in a little bit of a desperate spot right now. You know, they have a big problem with their population collapse. Um, you know, as we spoke about last show, you know, that they're trying to fix with automation and AI robots and shit like that. But, you know, their economy needs our economy and we need theirs and, uh, you know, I think everybody, I think every, I think if you ask everybody in China and you ask everybody in the US, would you like to see a harmonious relationship? Where both countries prosper? I think, I think you would find very few people that would say no.

• 28:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. I think the biggest concern, at least from like the American standpoint, is like, that's cool dude, like, yeah, like, that's cool, let's work together, but like, just stop doing the weird shit, right?

• 28:45Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, but are they, what weird shit are they doing?

• 28:47Speaker 01

  Like buying up the US farmer.

• 28:48Andy Frisella?

  Okay, well, that's our fault. We shouldn't be allowing that.

• 28:51Speaker 01

  Agreed. Agreed. You know what I'm saying? But it's like, there's almost like, there's still like a level of just like, I, I watch you.

• 28:56Andy Frisella?

  There, yes, but they're operating within the realm of the law. It's legal.

• 29:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:04Andy Frisella?

  It's not like they're doing shit that's fucking illegal.

• 29:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:07Andy Frisella?

  You know, in that regard.

• 29:08Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 29:09Andy Frisella?

  Doing other things.

• 29:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 29:10Andy Frisella?

  Like bio labs and shit like that.

• 29:11Speaker 01

  Secret police station and shit like that, which, dude, I saw this other video, apparently they had like a shit ton of like, Chinese like, police, li- literally. Like in plain clothes, moving around DC and shit.

• 29:21Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, but,

• 29:23Andy Frisella?

  but,

• 29:25Andy Frisella?

  that, we allow that.

• 29:26Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:26Andy Frisella?

  Okay, so, if you're playing a game and the rules are the rules, and one guy's, you know, executing within the boundaries of the rules, and then, you're not really allowed to say, well, you know, that's them, that's you allowing them. All you gotta do is change the fucking rules. Say, hey, uh, we're gonna, you're gonna give us that same thing, or you're not gonna have this.

• 29:49Speaker 01

  Right.

• 29:49Andy Frisella?

  Or, you're not gonna have this and we won't have that there. But, it has to be equal.

• 29:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:55Andy Frisella?

  And I think that's, you know, that's something that, we do a poor job, I think they do a better job. But there's a lot of American influence in China too, that people, you know, most people don't ever know about or hear about, because they never go there and we don't see much from there.

• 30:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 30:10Andy Frisella?

  So, you know, I don't necessarily blame, when, when we hear like, China's buying up this and that, I don't really look at China and say, well, fucking, what the fuck, China? I look at it like, what the fuck, America? Why are we allowing that?

• 30:25Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 30:25Andy Frisella?

  That's how I see it.

• 30:26Speaker 01

  That's right. Yeah.

• 30:27Andy Frisella?

  You know, and, and if, you know, if, why do we do those things? There's no reason for those things. And that doesn't make sense. And I seriously doubt that China's letting America buy up, uh, you know, the ground around their military bases. Like, that's not fucking happening.

• 30:43Speaker 01

  Not happening.

• 30:44Andy Frisella?

  But, they have a strong,

• 30:47Andy Frisella?

  I think that one of the biggest differences between China and America, and, this comes for a couple different reasons. One, you know, Chinese is a race of people, right? So, they protect that culture, they protect what that country is supposed to stand for, right? There's a very strong.

• 31:11Andy Frisella?

  Proud Chinese culture. You know what I'm saying? And it's easy to see who the fuck fits because they look different than other people, right? In America, it's different because our country is based upon not one race, but many different races harmoniously working inside of an agreed upon culture.

• 31:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, the melting pot.

• 31:31Andy Frisella?

  Sort of, yeah.

• 31:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:32Andy Frisella?

  That, yes, but so that makes it harder to enforce what the cultural, what the standards actually are and what's allowed and what's not allowed. Like in China, they could say, well, are you fucking Chinese? No, I could fucking tell you're not.

• 31:45Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 31:46Andy Frisella?

  Right? But there's a lot of Americans that look Chinese, right? So like, there's confusion over here and there's very strong boundaries there.

• 31:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:54Andy Frisella?

  And I think that's where a lot of this comes from.

• 31:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, they, they.

• 31:57Andy Frisella?

  You follow me on that?

• 31:58Speaker 01

  Absolutely. Yeah. I mean dude, Chinese people, they care about, I mean, that's the thing though, you see this in every other culture that protects their own culture. You know what I'm saying? We, we talked about this with Russia, like Russians fucking, they love their country. They understand, you know, their history. They, they respect it, right? They protect that culture. You see this in Japan, right? Like you see, you see these in places where their culture are, the, the, the values of those cultures are protected. And so, and when it's not protected, it falls apart.

• 32:25Andy Frisella?

  Well, and you, you know, China has a reputation for being quote unquote, I'm not saying this, I'm saying this is what people say. That they're very racist individuals.

• 32:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 32:36Andy Frisella?

  But are they racist or are they just protective of Chinese culture?

• 32:40Speaker 01

  That's right. That's right.

• 32:42Andy Frisella?

  Okay, because most countries don't allow just anybody to come in and do whatever the fuck they want. And so I think, you know, there's a lot of twisting and turning and misrepresentation that happens, especially as we know, because our media is at this point, all propaganda to where we don't really know what's going on there.

• 33:02Speaker 01

  For sure.

• 33:03Andy Frisella?

  You know what I mean? We know what they tell us is going on there, but do we really know?

• 33:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:07Andy Frisella?

  You know, I know that the people that go to China from America love China. They're like, fuck dude, it's awesome.

• 33:12Speaker 01

  It's clean.

• 33:13Andy Frisella?

  You been there? Yeah, it's fucking awesome, isn't it? People are cool too, right?

• 33:17Speaker 05

  They're super welcoming.

• 33:19Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 33:19Speaker 05

  And the food's amazing. Everything is amazing. They're really ahead of us in tech. I think so too.

• 33:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 33:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:25Andy Frisella?

  There's no doubt. There's no doubt.

• 33:27Speaker 01

  Let me ask you this, because this is going to be a controversial question. All right. But do you agree with the sentiment that China's our biggest?

• 33:34Andy Frisella?

  They're also, they're also ahead of us in total fucking surveillance of their citizens.

• 33:39Speaker 01

  Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah.

• 33:40Andy Frisella?

  Social credit. Like they're living in what everybody here is fighting.

• 33:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:43Speaker 05

  Yeah. Do you jaywalk? You get a fine directly taken out from your bank account, all that stuff.

• 33:48Speaker 01

  Interest rates are higher depending on your social credit score. I mean, it's crazy shit. Um, this is a controversial question because this is a sentiment that I think a lot of people will say blindly, right? But do you agree with the statement that China's our number one threat? Like to America, to our prosperity, to our longevity?

• 34:05Andy Frisella?

  I think, I, I, I, I think it depends on who you ask. You know, I, I think if you're asking me, no, I don't feel like they're our biggest threat. I feel, I feel that our biggest threat is the foreign influence of any country inside American politics. The ability for, and, and this mainly comes from Israel, but it also comes from China and other places as well. I feel that personally that our biggest threat is the manipulation of our own politicians for money to act in the interests of other countries.

• 34:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 34:40Andy Frisella?

  That's what I see our biggest threat is. Now, if you ask, you know, Trump or you ask one, like actually I think Trump and Z, I don't think Trump would say they're our biggest threat.

• 34:50Speaker 01

  No.

• 34:51Andy Frisella?

  Um,

• 34:53Andy Frisella?

  at some points I think he will because he's, he's kind of shoots from the hip.

• 34:56Speaker 01

  Got a grandstand sometimes.

• 34:57Andy Frisella?

  But I think if you gotta, I think if you,

• 35:01Andy Frisella?

  you know, I, like, I think people that say that dude, like at one point I did believe that.

• 35:04Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 35:05Andy Frisella?

  Right? Like if you go back four or five years ago, I did believe that.

• 35:07Speaker 01

  Especially when they say, oh, they're buying the farmlands and they got fucking.

• 35:10Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. And, and they, and the COVID shit happened and all that.

• 35:13Speaker 01

  You know?

• 35:14Andy Frisella?

  But I don't see it the same way as I saw it then.

• 35:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:17Andy Frisella?

  Um, I, I, I think they will take any opportunity to strengthen their position and weaken our position, which is the natural ebb and flow of being competitors.

• 35:30Speaker 01

  It's Darwinism. That's how it's supposed to go. They're opportunistic. That's why it's Darwinism. Like you take advantage of what the fuck comes to you, dog.

• 35:37Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, dude. And, and, and I think we don't, I know, I think we don't play that same way. Um,

• 35:43Andy Frisella?

  but I mean, I think, I think, like I said, I think, no, I don't think they're our biggest quote unquote threat. Are they our biggest threat from a terms of like being armed enough to actually do some things to us? Yeah, for sure.

• 35:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:55Andy Frisella?

  But

• 35:57Andy Frisella?

  that's, that's not what's, China's not the come, the country that's affecting America negatively. Um, on a day to day basis for the average American, that's coming out of Israel right now. And it's coming from AIPAC and it's coming from the foreign influence, really, and like dude, it's, AIPAC is a big, big part of the problem, but there's other, there's other packs too, right?

• 36:18Speaker 01

  A bunch. That's the one they want you to know about.

• 36:20Andy Frisella?

  Well, yeah. And, and it's really, that's why I like to use the term foreign influence.

• 36:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:24Andy Frisella?

  Okay? There should be no foreign influence

• 36:29Andy Frisella?

  in our politics directly. There, there should be considerations made, right? But the interest of the American people should always remain at the forefront of whatever considerations are made

• 36:42Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 36:42Andy Frisella?

  to that other country. And there should be no way that America, that anybody outside of America should be able to funnel funds directly or indirectly into our political system to where that politician could be influenced to make decisions that are in the benefit of that country versus this, the, that would be in the benefit of the American people.

• 37:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:04Andy Frisella?

  And that's the problem with America right now. You know, when we talk about what the corruption is, that's what the corruption is.

• 37:08Speaker 01

  Talk about fucking swamp.

• 37:10Andy Frisella?

  Well, and it's very, it's, it's, it's, we all know who it is. I mean, we see it, dude. And I, I think, uh, but I think the answer isn't like saying, you know, no AIPAC. I think the answer is saying no foreign fucking influence from anybody.

• 37:26Speaker 01

  Period.

• 37:26Andy Frisella?

  Right?

• 37:27Speaker 01

  Period. Far or not.

• 37:28Andy Frisella?

  It doesn't matter. Right. It doesn't matter where it's coming from. But there should be no way that an American politician should feel any sort of pressure to make a decision that they don't feel is the right decision for America uh, and its people. And then we can extend that conversation into the situation of like corporate lobbying, right? Cause the same thing happens from within. Um, I think it's less harmful than the foreign part of it. Uh, but you know, it still shouldn't be happening.

• 38:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 38:01Andy Frisella?

  Right? Like, like if you're, uh, you know, the, the owners of Citadel or fucking, um, BlackRock or, or Vanguard or whatever, right? Like you shouldn't be able, or, or like even Zuckerberg, like you shouldn't be able to put $400 million into an election to remove the influence of the regular American because you just happen to have more money than them.

• 38:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 38:29Andy Frisella?

  Right?

• 38:29Speaker 01

  That's moving from voice of the people to a voice of the person.

• 38:32Andy Frisella?

  Correct. And the voice of the haves.

• 38:34Speaker 01

  Right.

• 38:34Andy Frisella?

  And that's not what a republic is based upon. The republic is based upon the voice of the people.

• 38:41Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 38:41Andy Frisella?

  And when we have either foreign influence or domestic influence, lobbies, funding our politicians, we've, we are very,

• 38:53Andy Frisella?

  the politician that actually makes decisions in the interest of the American people is, is such an anomaly that people almost like

• 39:05Andy Frisella?

  can't recognize it when it's even happening, right? Like, like, like, like when you look at like, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and everybody like makes fun of her and they're like, oh, she's just some like, you know, white lady from Georgia that is an idiot or whatever, whatever they think of her. I don't think that, but like people dog her out. Well, our government's supposed to be made up of people like that.

• 39:25Speaker 01

  Just like her.

• 39:26Andy Frisella?

  It's supposed to be made up of regular people who have lived regular lives, who have made mistakes, who have done things, who have lived their lives as American citizens. And those are the people that are supposed to be representing the government.

• 39:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:39Andy Frisella?

  Are representing the people in our government. And they aren't supposed to be Mitch McConnell or Joe Biden who served in our government for, it, it's not a career dude. It's a fucking act of service.

• 39:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:52Andy Frisella?

  And I think our people are starting to understand that more. Um, but I don't know if they're understanding it at a fast enough rate because to really fix what's going on, the average American has to get involved at the ground level and start to like build up that foundation of, of, from the bottom up, you know, of real people acting in the interests of other real people.

• 40:14Speaker 01

  Yeah. Right. And it's crazy to think, man, because it wasn't even too far, like too long ago, bro. Like you'd have a farmer, right? And he sees some legislation or see some shit move. He's like, oh, this is going to fuck me up. It's going to fuck my, my friend down the street up. It's going to mess up his farm.

• 40:27Andy Frisella?

  I'm a run for office.

• 40:28Speaker 01

  I'm going to fix this.

• 40:29Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 40:30Speaker 01

  And I'm going to go back to my fucking farm.

• 40:31Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 40:31Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying? Like, and that just does not happen anymore. Now they're being fucking trained for middle school.

• 40:36Andy Frisella?

  There's too much, there's too much. Yeah, dude. You got that kid, um, what's that fucking kid? He came out right after Charlie Kirk got shot and they plastered.

• 40:44Speaker 01

  Oh, bro, he went away quick. I know.

• 40:46Andy Frisella?

  Hollyhand?

• 40:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, the, the dude from Texas or whatever.

• 40:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, but like that, you could tell that kid is like, oh, he's got, he's got coaching.

• 40:54Speaker 01

  He's been trained.

• 40:55Andy Frisella?

  He's been like, the, that's not America, bro. That's not the people that.

• 41:01Speaker 01

  You're training for problems. You don't even know what problems are, dude.

• 41:04Andy Frisella?

  Dude, that's what I'm saying.

• 41:05Speaker 01

  It's like, what, what?

• 41:06Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. It's just like, it's crazy. And I don't, no disrespect to him. I'm sure he's a young kid with ambitions and he probably doesn't even realize that he's being put in a position that he's being put in. But, you know, we need people that represent the interests of America and not their own personal interests of finances, you know?

• 41:25Speaker 01

  Now, to finish up on this China-US relationship, right? Uh, you know, I saw this other thing that came out, uh, that there is a billionaire in China who has allegedly fathered over like a hundred kids in the US.

• 41:41Andy Frisella?

  Oh, really?

• 41:42Speaker 01

  Bypassing the immigration. You know what I'm saying? Like, like to, to have the US born babies. Now they're American citizens. Yeah. There's some billionaire in China that, this, this report just came out on it. Um, you know, but, but to your point, they're opportunistic, right? They don't allow that. They wouldn't allow that. I couldn't go over there and have a bunch of little, you know, DJs running around. It's not happening. You know what I'm saying? And those are just automatically Chinese citizens.

• 42:04Andy Frisella?

  Chingays?

• 42:04Speaker 01

  Chingays, that's right.

• 42:09Speaker 01

  It's not happening. It's not fucking happening. Um, that might change. Might change. Uh, cause another piece that Xi Jinping came out with is he says he's gonna be opening up, uh, not just standard tourism, uh, but a different level of citizenship for Americans going to China. Check this out.

• 42:30Speaker 04

  Like President Trump mentioned earlier, during the second world war, Chinese and Americans fought shoulder to shoulder against fascist aggression. Chinese people have never forgotten that part of history, nor have the American people. The hope of China-US relationship lies in our people, and its future lies with the young. I am glad to announce an invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges and study in the coming five years.

• 43:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, so they're opening up now new extended visas for American citizens to come to China.

• 43:15Speaker 01

  I don't know how to feel about that. I don't know. Like, I mean, one-

• 43:19Andy Frisella?

  They say why?

• 43:21Speaker 01

  Just to strengthen the relationship. I mean, they're like, they're taking some serious steps here, and it almost makes me think like-

• 43:25Andy Frisella?

  They, they, they need us, dude.

• 43:27Speaker 01

  They need it.

• 43:27Andy Frisella?

  They're desperate right now. But people, like dude, China's not as strong as what people think they are. Yes, they have strong technology. Yes, they have benefits. Yes, they have a good military, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But they have a very real problem with their population collapse. Like, it's, you know, for however many years, they have limits on how many children you can have, and like strict ones-

• 43:46Speaker 01

  One-child policy, yeah.

• 43:48Andy Frisella?

  And then, you know, what was happening too, was like, you know, um, well, regardless, if you do that for 30 fucking years, you're gonna have a fucking population collapse. You know what I mean?

• 43:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:59Andy Frisella?

  So-

• 44:01Speaker 01

  It just makes me think, dude, like, I, I, like, what is happening globally right now? That you have a guy like Xi Jinping taking these steps, taking these positions, you know what I'm saying? The dude said, "Make America great again" in the fucking White House.

• 44:13Andy Frisella?

  Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Why does any of that surprise you, that he's saying that?

• 44:21Speaker 01

  I, well, one, he's never said those type of things.

• 44:24Andy Frisella?

  How do you know?

• 44:25Speaker 01

  We've never heard it. We've never been shown it.

• 44:27Andy Frisella?

  That don't mean he didn't say it.

• 44:28Speaker 01

  True. But I've never seen it. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I mean, to me, it's just like, I don't know.

• 44:34Andy Frisella?

  That, that doesn't mean he's always, he hasn't always thought that.

• 44:37Speaker 01

  Never felt that.

• 44:37Andy Frisella?

  Listen, dude, we have to understand. We have been fucking manipulated to a level that no generation of humans have ever been manipulated to, okay? The, the media and the press and the amount of shit that's on social media and the amount of programming, the amount of lies, and the amount of propaganda. We live inside of a propaganda machine. What the fuck do you think social media is? Okay?

• 45:07Andy Frisella?

  We don't actually know what fucking Xi Jinping thinks. We, you don't know. I don't know. You don't know. So you're, the reason that you're surprised is because you're making assumptions that you don't know about. Cause it really, I, I don't, I don't have assumptions about him the way that I may have in the past, because I realize how much we've been lied to about everything. Like, dude, you don't know. Like, and this, you know, this is probably not the case, but I'm just saying, maybe this guy's a fucking amazing dude. Maybe he's the coolest dude ever. Maybe, you know, like, maybe that's true about Putin. Nobody fucking knows, because we don't get told the truth here anymore.

• 45:47Andy Frisella?

  We're no different than North Korea in a lot of ways. We are told what the fuck to believe, what is, what isn't, and the only reason that you would know any different is if you actually got on an airplane and went and spent significant time in these places, which nobody does. So when you have a group of people that aren't willing to go out and culture themselves, or don't have the financial means, or whatever it is, to go and experience these things, well then, of course, you're going to believe, it's, it's allegory of the cave, dude. You, you, you're, "Oh, there's monsters out there. Don't go out there." And you're like, "Oh, fuck, alright." Like, most people just don't know, dude.

• 46:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:25Andy Frisella?

  You know? And so like, I try to keep that in mind when I hear them say things. Like, when I hear him say that, I don't, I don't think like, "Man, that's so shocking, what's happening. Things must be changing." My first thing is, is maybe they're just allowing that to be heard now. You know what I mean?

• 46:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:42Andy Frisella?

  I don't know, but I don't, I try to keep as many

• 46:50Andy Frisella?

  assumptions off the table as I can. Now, I don't always do that. Sometimes I'm horrible at that. Sometimes I get emotionally stirred up, and I, I fucking make all the assumptions.

• 47:04Andy Frisella?

  But I think if we're gonna be honest, I think every single person that's listening to this, the truth of the matter is, we don't fucking know. We don't know. And the reason we don't know is because the people that run our government do not allow us to know what we should know. And if the powers that be globally would let people know the actual truth about things in that regard, we'd probably have a lot more peaceful, cohesive society, which is against their interests. Because what causes people to act? Fear. Okay? So their idea is to keep everybody afraid all the time, so that they have a sky-as-falling story that they can tell us when they want us to do something. Right? Bro, I've traveled the world, man. I've never been to China, but I've been a lot of places. And I've been

• 47:49Andy Frisella?

  fortunate enough to meet a lot of different people. And I've also been fortunate enough to experience life as someone who didn't have a lot, and someone who has had means. And I'm gonna tell you something that I've experienced, dude. Most people are the fucking same. It doesn't matter if they're black, or Indian, or white, and this is why I have no problem making jokes about shit. Because I know that that guy that looks different than me on the inside is the fucking same as me. And we've lost that as humans. We, we think that, you know, just because someone looks a certain way, or someone is from a certain place, or they have a certain religion, even people with totally different religious beliefs than you, if you sat down and had a fucking beer with them, you know what they want, dude? They want a healthy family. They want a place to fucking lay their head down, where they're gonna be

• 48:33Andy Frisella?

  safe. They, they, they wanna live in a nice society. They wanna make some fucking money. They don't wanna be poor. They don't wanna live in poverty. You know what I'm saying? Like, they don't like the oppressive nature of their governments. I mean, most people, most human beings in this earth hate their governments. Okay? Because that's where the most corrupt people end up. And the good people that just wanna follow the rules, and they wanna be good people, and they wanna be a good neighbor and a good influence,

• 49:02Andy Frisella?

  because those people have, for their entire lives, looked at their government as evil. They don't wanna be a part of it, which keeps the good people from ever being a part of the solution. You follow what I'm saying? So like, dude, we got a lot of problems with the way that we have been culturally indoctrinated, not just in America, but globally. And social media has, i- i- in technology, has really got us around the fucking balls, so to speak.

• 49:31Speaker 01

  It's helped expose a lot of it.

• 49:32Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, it is helped, for sure. But like, dude, we run a massive podcast where we talk about this shit day in and day out. Day in and day out. The average person doesn't have the ability to go in and learn all that stuff, or pay attention to everything that's going on. They don't know what the fuck's going on. So they listen to someone, and unfortunately, all of the avenues that we have, for the most part, have an interest that they're trying to accomplish with the information that is delivered to the, to the end user. So like, everything's a lie. Everything's a twist. Everything's a sales pitch. Everything's a propaganda. And so when you see, like, my whole point in this conversation was like,

• 50:14Andy Frisella?

  when you say, "Well, what's happening in the world?" Well, fucking maybe it's always been that way. We just don't know.

• 50:19Speaker 01

  Yeah. That's real, man. That's some real shit. Yeah. Guys, jumping on the conversation. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think. Uh, that being said, let's get to our third and final headline, headline, number three. Oh, yeah, there we go. Dude, I just watched this movie the other night, Last Samurai.

• 50:37Andy Frisella?

  Is that what this is?

• 50:38Speaker 01

  I mean, I don't know. Your sword's in a weird place. Looks like it's, uh-

• 50:42Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 50:44Andy Frisella?

  I came a couple of them blue chews, bro.

• 50:48Speaker 01

  You guys call them blue chews. We have honey packs.

• 50:50Andy Frisella?

  We got, uh, no, this is, these are, uh, these are blue chews.

• 50:55Speaker 01

  Oh, shit. I think my sword's a little bigger.

• 50:58Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. That's pretty funny.

• 51:02Andy Frisella?

  Yours is like that, too.

• 51:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a little bit bigger.

• 51:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. I don't think so.

• 51:08Speaker 01

  Headline three, this is a follow up from earlier in the week. Uh, from the ban of the media CNN Politico, MSN now reporters regain access to White House. After judge's order. Um, so that's been stopped according to a court filing, the White House operations were notified at seven 10 a.m. To restore access to the reporters, secret service then began the process of delivering the badges to the affected reporters. The order came down that they must immediately restore the privileged White House access to CNN. MSN now, but here's the thing, you think everybody to be happy, right? Think everything be good, hunky dory, right? Everything's fine now, right? Cause I mean, crazy thing is like, I, I, I did have this thought, it's like,

• 51:51Speaker 01

  I thought they fucking hated this dude. I, why would they want to, you know, record it, but.

• 51:55Andy Frisella?

  They love to hate him.

• 51:56Speaker 01

  They love to fucking hate.

• 51:57Andy Frisella?

  They don't have nothing to talk about without him.

• 51:59Speaker 01

  Like they know their ratings are gonna fucking take. Yeah, they gotta get back in there, right? Judge, please get us back in there, right? Uh, but you also, a lot of people don't know this, there's a lot of privileges you get from having that fucking pass. I mean, you get free fucking flights, you get free fucking food, you get, you know, transported, you're in the circle, right? You're in those rooms, there's, there's power that comes from behind that, right? You would think everybody to be happy, but they're freaking the fuck out. They're all freaking the fuck out. CNN staffers panic over this Paramount merger that's coming. Bloodbath coming, newsroom is like a funeral. Uh, so Paramount's looming acquisition of CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Is reportedly sending shivers down the collective spines of news gathers.

• 52:43Speaker 01

  Uh, at the 46 year old legacy outlet as Breitbart news reporter Paramount reached a deal with 12 state attorney generals Monday. That surmounted a major hurdle to closing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which will now proceed forward. Okay, but like, what's scary about that, right? Like, what's the big deal? Well, I'll tell you what the big deal is, Andy. David Ellison reportedly he's eyeing Elon Musk for Paramount Equity Investment sparking fears at CNN.

• 53:14Andy Frisella?

  Why, why would they be scared about that?

• 53:16Speaker 01

  Well, what did he do to Twitter?

• 53:18Andy Frisella?

  That's, that's not my point. My, my point is, is if you were doing things on the up, there would be nothing to worry about.

• 53:26Speaker 01

  What are you afraid of?

• 53:27Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 53:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, bro. Yeah. Yeah. And they're fucking shitting their pants right now. Yeah. Paramount executives reportedly have discussed asking billionaire Elon Musk to take an equity stake. And it's 81 billion dollar takeover Warner Bros. Discovery, a move that could fuel the burgeoning panic amongst CNN staffers. Uh, Hollywood mogul David Ellison is looking to build up his media empire's finances ahead of the mega merger. Um, and has been mulling over several wealthy individuals who could back the deal. Um, this is according to a semaphore report, the size of the investment, the Paramount is seeking is unclear. Um, but here's why many people are believing it's going to be Elon Musk. It's because David Ellison was a big backer in the X takeover in Twitter.

• 54:13Speaker 01

  David Ellison was a key stakeholder in that merger and helped provide a lot of the funds there. Um, and so that's why it's looking very, very, uh, likely that it's going to be him. Uh, quote, amazing. It comes out now, of course, the CNN source said of the Musk news adding. That it's a bad look for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who backed the deal as he feared Paramount could exit the state. And take thousands of jobs with it. Not good for Gavin. Um, as part of the settlement with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Paramount pledged to create independent editorial bo- boards for both CBS News and CNN. Though it hasn't shared details on what powers those boards will have.

• 54:52Speaker 01

  Um, and it looks like if this goes through, then more than likely Elon Musk is going to have a significant amount of share in this. Um, thus making a significant amount of control of CNN, of the CBS. Um, and they are freaking the fuck out. Uh, somebody said, when it rains, it pours, one CNN said of the Musk news. Uh, quote, it's really scary, given what he did at X and Doge. What did he do? What did he do at X and Doge?

• 55:20Andy Frisella?

  He removed, he removed the censorship at X. I mean, you know, and whether you agree or not agree or whatever. It has truly become a town square now.

• 55:30Speaker 01

  Free speech.

• 55:31Andy Frisella?

  Right? And that's.

• 55:32Speaker 01

  Somewhere to a fault in some cases.

• 55:35Andy Frisella?

  Well, yeah, but there's always idiots.

• 55:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 55:37Andy Frisella?

  You know, that's the point of free speech, like the point of free speech is not that there's going to be, uh, offensive things said. It's that we can find out who the idiots are.

• 55:49Speaker 01

  It's another way of looking at it.

• 55:49Andy Frisella?

  You know?

• 55:50Speaker 01

  A hundred percent, dude.

• 55:51Andy Frisella?

  Like, if you have people that are smart enough to understand that.

• 56:00Andy Frisella?

  Everybody has an opinion and some opinions suck. That's how you rule out the bad, bad shit and find the common ground.

• 56:07Speaker 01

  Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a great point. I mean, but not even just on the censorship shit. He also exposed all the Twitter files, the fucking collusion with the fucking federal government and even state governments do the COVID shit. I mean, there was a lot that was exposed there.

• 56:20Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 56:21Speaker 01

  What did he uncover at Doge? All the fucking fraud, waste and abuse, you know what I'm saying? So it's like.

• 56:25Andy Frisella?

  Bring some of that to the mainstream media.

• 56:28Speaker 01

  Dude, I think this could shake some shit up. Maybe potentially. I don't know. I mean, what do, what do you think?

• 56:34Andy Frisella?

  I don't know. You know, on one hand, I like it because of the reasons we're saying, right? Uh, free speech. I think he would promote real journalism again.

• 56:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 56:46Andy Frisella?

  Um, that's what he did when they went into Doge. That's really what that is.

• 56:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 56:53Andy Frisella?

  I don't like the idea of one person having, I, I, you know, we've gotten to this point now where. We have a small group of people that control the flow of information. We have Musk, Zuckerberg, you know, Larry Ellison, um, the Ellison family.

• 57:10Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 57:11Andy Frisella?

  Um, and they control a, a disproportionate amount of the media. So you have three or four or 10 people, people that control the ability to message. Well, the reason that's so bad is because we have six people in this room. So you had four more people in a secret little room and you say, hey, this is what we're going to do. And everybody gets along and does it. And that's, that's, that's what's been going on.

• 57:36Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 57:38Andy Frisella?

  It takes someone that has the financial means, that isn't part of that club. To start to break that up, or it takes a total deregulation of the media where they just break up all the monopolies.

• 57:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:51Andy Frisella?

  Right? And there's a number of monopolies forming in this country. Which should be deregulated in my opinion, you know, we have technology monopolies. We have, uh, communications monopolies.

• 58:04Speaker 01

  Distribution in some sense.

• 58:05Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, no shit, dude.

• 58:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 58:07Andy Frisella?

  Right? And so we have, we have. We have gone to the extreme of capitalism, which I'm a, I'm a capitalist through and through.

• 58:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 58:17Andy Frisella?

  But there is a point to where you get to the top of capitalism. Where very few people own most of the shit. And when that happens in the past. The government has come in and broken up those organizations into many smaller ones to avoid exactly what we're talking about, which is. Too few individuals having too much control. And so I don't like that part of it. And my hope would be that if, if Elon does get in there. That he is the guy that stands on the other side of the line and, and, and kind of balances out what's going on. But really dude, if the government was doing their job according to the letter of the law, you know.

• 58:56Andy Frisella?

  Companies like Meta and companies, um, you know, like this. Media merger and these other companies would be shattered up into many different companies, Amazon. They would be broken up into other companies because they control too much of the, the influence.

• 59:11Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 59:11Andy Frisella?

  Of information, media, distribution and all of these things.

• 59:16Speaker 01

  The way of life.

• 59:17Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. And they will argue, well, that's anti-capitalist, but to, to, to have capitalism work properly. You can't allow a, at a certain time, all the resources to funnel to a very, very few amount of people. Because resources beget resources, right? Like money makes money. And when you have, you know, and, and the, the left, they, they, they convolute this messaging into making people believe that. They're talking about people like me.

• 59:45Speaker 01

  Right.

• 59:45Andy Frisella?

  Right? Like people who have started a business at 19 years old with no fucking money. And have grown that didn't make it. I made 58 grand my first 10 years combined. You know, I had to work three other jobs. Then I built another company, then we built another company, then, you know, and now we've got a portfolio in the 10 figures. And the left says that's the enemy. Well, no motherfucker, I'm the guy that's sponsoring your kid's fucking T-ball team.

• 1:00:14Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:00:15Andy Frisella?

  I'm the guy that's providing jobs in the community. I'm the guy that's doing the things that entrepreneurs are supposed to do. But they will blame people like this to create that fucking tension in society, the class warfare that they want.

• 1:00:28Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 1:00:29Andy Frisella?

  So.

• 1:00:31Andy Frisella?

  You know, when in reality, we should all be looking at the biggest names and saying, bro, these guys got too much control. Way too much.

• 1:00:38Speaker 01

  Well, I think that's my fear, dude, because I see, like, I, I think Elon would do absolutely great.

• 1:00:43Andy Frisella?

  Maybe.

• 1:00:43Speaker 01

  I, I think, I would like to hope, right? But here's my fear in this is that I fear.

• 1:00:47Andy Frisella?

  Elon's also making a billion robots.

• 1:00:50Speaker 01

  Right. And, and my fear is, dude, I feel like this is nothing but fucking fuel for the communist arguments. You know what I'm saying? I think they see things like this, the big cap, like, like, this is fuel for, you know, what their argument is.

• 1:01:02Andy Frisella?

  Of course.

• 1:01:03Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying?

• 1:01:03Andy Frisella?

  But, but instead of targeting those people.

• 1:01:05Speaker 01

  They target.

• 1:01:06Andy Frisella?

  Because, yeah, they target the, the mid-level entrepreneur. And they say that those people are the problem. Those people are not the problem. It's the people that have so much influence and so much control over certain segments that you can't get in otherwise. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, dude, if we look at, like, the way that tech is now, I mean, yeah, there's, there's these, there's, you know, there's some good young tech entrepreneurs that, you know, they, they create things and they create an app or a function or a tool, and it becomes, you know, a billion-dollar brand, but who buys it? Who buys it?

• 1:01:40Speaker 01

  The bigger ones.

• 1:01:41Andy Frisella?

  Right.

• 1:01:42Speaker 01

  Every time.

• 1:01:42Andy Frisella?

  And then that, and so then.

• 1:01:43Speaker 01

  Why are there only two play stores, two, two app stores? You know what I'm saying?

• 1:01:46Andy Frisella?

  Bro, but that's what I'm saying. So they, so, so these people end up just getting more and more and more, and as an entrepreneur, you know, if you've worked for 30 years or five years or 10 years and you get someone that comes up and says, hey, here's billions of dollars for your thing, that's kind of the fucking goal. That's why you fucking started it. So, you know, they, they're playing, again, it's like we were talking about with China, they're playing within the rules of the game, but the rules of the game aren't conducive to the benefit of the actual system that we run in, which is supposed to be like a responsible level of capitalism. And that is also why socialism is becoming so appealing, because when you have certain

• 1:02:27Andy Frisella?

  individuals that control so much of the resources, then the people that are, you know, they're just coming up now 20 years old, they can't, they can't see how they can get their piece, right? Even though they can, they can, it's there, but they have trouble seeing it. And, um, you know, and that fuels that fire.

• 1:02:49Speaker 01

  A hundred percent.

• 1:02:50Andy Frisella?

  You know, we've got a big problem with the polarization of kind of like everything, right? Like, it's, you know, political polarization, cultural polarization, business polarization, uh, resource polarization, like, all of these things are happening at once, and it's kind of coming to a head. And, uh, and then not only is it, like, actually happening, but then you have these propaganda machines like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, et cetera, that are agitating that on top of it.

• 1:03:19Speaker 01

  Stoking it, bro.

• 1:03:20Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, right.

• 1:03:21Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 1:03:22Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. So it's, you know, ideally, in the situation, what I would like to see is the government to step in and fucking deregulate, but see, that doesn't happen, and you know why that doesn't happen?

• 1:03:32Speaker 01

  It's not in their interest.

• 1:03:34Andy Frisella?

  It's not in the actual direct interest of the politicians to vote that way, because they're getting funds from these people.

• 1:03:39Speaker 01

  From CNN, from, yeah.

• 1:03:41Andy Frisella?

  No, from the fucking biggest names in the world, bro. So it's like, okay, they're, they're gonna go stand for the same thing and, and they're gonna vote, and they're gonna lose the vote because everybody else took the money and you didn't take the money and you're still gonna lose? Not many people are gonna make that call. And that's the problem that we have. That, dude, if we eliminate, if we did a few things differently in our government, we could get a fair system. The system itself as a structure works, but there's things that are allowed, that allow it to be corrupt. There should not be lobbies. There should not be PACs. There should not be, I don't even think you should be able to run ads for politicians. I think, I think it should be organic.

• 1:04:24Speaker 01

  Grassroots, fucking get out there in the streets, knock on the doors.

• 1:04:28Andy Frisella?

  That's right. And, and I think, you know, uh, you eliminate lobbies, you know, you create a situation where the people of government get no special privileges, they get, they have to live by the laws that they make.

• 1:04:41Andy Frisella?

  You remove the insider trading, you know, they can't trade, you know, you do a few things, you know, install term limits, a few of these things, and we've got a really effective system that works, but, but the way that it's been corrupted, you can't get someone to vote for that who's part of the corruption. Like, no one's gonna vote themselves out of the honeypot.

• 1:05:00Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 1:05:01Andy Frisella?

  You know?

• 1:05:01Speaker 01

  That's right. That's right, dude. Yeah, I, I think a lot of people think there needs to be this, like, Matt, like, burn it all down, we got it, like, no, bro, it's just a few things, bro, if they were changed, world, life would be much better.

• 1:05:12Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:12Speaker 01

  Much better.

• 1:05:13Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, but, but that takes courage, and that takes the willingness to sacrifice your own well-being, and it could be your own life to, to stand for those things. And what we need is, we need a grassroots, from-the-bottom movement that is willing to stand for those things from the beginning, you know? Like, if you're on your city council, you probably don't expect to get a big check from some sort of, like, influence, right? But what happens along the way? You know, they go to state government and they get a little something.

• 1:05:46Speaker 01

  Maybe it was from 500 to 5,000 to 500,000.

• 1:05:49Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, and it gets, it starts slow. And, you know, unfortunately, dude, peo- humans are selfish, and they're gonna act in their, in their best interests, and it's very rare that we have individuals that are willing to pass on the, you know, quote-unquote, dollar, which has become our god, um, to do the right thing. And until America finds its moral high ground legitimately and is willing to stand on it, nothing's gonna change.

• 1:06:20Speaker 01

  Nothing. Yeah, man, guys, jump in on this conversation, let us know down in the comments what you guys think. That being said, Andy, it is time. We have arrived.

• 1:06:32Speaker 01

  Thumbs up, dumb as fuck.

• 1:06:34Andy Frisella?

  You like them grapes?

• 1:06:38Speaker 01

  Yep. I actually prefer the green ones.

• 1:06:41Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, green grapes are better than.

• 1:06:42Speaker 01

  Green grapes are superior. Don't even try to argue.

• 1:06:45Andy Frisella?

  But if you're, if it's a drink, it's gotta be purple.

• 1:06:47Speaker 01

  If it's a, yeah.

• 1:06:48Andy Frisella?

  There's no, you don't want a green grape drink.

• 1:06:51Speaker 01

  Dude, that, you might actually be on to something, though.

• 1:06:53Andy Frisella?

  I don't think so.

• 1:06:53Speaker 01

  Hold on, bro. Fuck.

• 1:06:57Speaker 01

  Green grape? Oh, bro, that might be gas.

• 1:07:01Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, maybe. Maybe we need to delete that from the, from the show.

• 1:07:07Speaker 01

  Hell, yeah, man, guys, we are a thumbs up, we're dumb as fuck, this is where we bring a headline in, we talk about it, we vote on it, we give it one of these two options. Andy, we have reached that time of year. You know what week this is? Take a guess.

• 1:07:21Andy Frisella?

  I don't know.

• 1:07:22Speaker 01

  This week? It's Fat Bear Week.

• 1:07:24Andy Frisella?

  Ooh.

• 1:07:25Speaker 01

  Fat Bear Week. Fat Bear Week is here. Um, and there's voting.

• 1:07:29Andy Frisella?

  I feel like I should know this.

• 1:07:30Speaker 01

  I, I thought you would, dog, I thought, I mean, I, I teed it up for you, bro, I figured you would have known. Um, voting has already broken the internet, uh, so let's meet the contenders, shall we?

• 1:07:41Andy Frisella?

  Let's do it. What are your rating on how fat they are?

• 1:07:43Speaker 01

  Yeah, so they, like, this is a, this is a thing, I had no, no fucking clue.

• 1:07:46Andy Frisella?

  So we're just gonna, we're just gonna body shame the bears?

• 1:07:49Speaker 01

  No, but like, the bigger the better. You know what I'm saying? Like, the black of the bear.

• 1:07:52Andy Frisella?

  So we're gonna lie?

• 1:07:54Speaker 01

  What do you mean?

• 1:07:54Andy Frisella?

  We're gonna make them feel big and beautiful.

• 1:07:56Speaker 01

  Fat positivity?

• 1:08:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, this is a real thing, though, I didn't know this. 16 bears are facing off for Fat Bear Week 2026, the highly anticipated tournament among the chunkiest bears at the Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. The bracket, uh, for this year's single elimination contest expanded from last year's 12 competitors and includes the defending champion, Chunk. So they've actually, like, been tracking these bears, like, they photographed them, they, they, they've been monitoring their movement, and apparently this week specifically is where the bears have reached peak fat. Okay, Mike Fitz, the resident naturalist at explore.org, said Monday that the bears

• 1:08:42Speaker 01

  at the national park have reached peak fat after gorging on salmon, berries, and other foods all summer. Bears get fat to survive, and fat is the fuel that powers their ability to endure the months-long famine that is winter hibernation. Um, so let's go through these, I think we have to obviously start with the reigning champion of Fat Bear Week 2025, which is Chunk. Uh, so this is Chunk here, the, uh, picture on the left is from June 28th to September 14th. He's got pretty healthy, you know? He's all right, you know, he's doing okay. Uh, we got Backpack.

• 1:09:21Andy Frisella?

  Oh, yeah, he got fat.

• 1:09:22Speaker 01

  He's, yeah.

• 1:09:25Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, he was fucking, that dude was starving.

• 1:09:27Speaker 01

  Bro, he's up there, dog. You know, he, he's doing all right. Uh, we got Walker.

• 1:09:31Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. That's a big booty hoe right there.

• 1:09:34Speaker 01

  Walker ain't walking.

• 1:09:38Andy Frisella?

  That's, that's big booty Judy.

• 1:09:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's, he's got a dog on him, for sure. Uh, you got Bucky.

• 1:09:43Andy Frisella?

  Oh, dude, that's a hoss.

• 1:09:45Speaker 01

  Same bear? Yeah, same bear.

• 1:09:46Andy Frisella?

  That's crazy.

• 1:09:47Speaker 01

  Isn't that crazy? Like, that's just what, two months, barely?

• 1:09:50Andy Frisella?

  He understood the mission.

• 1:09:52Speaker 01

  You got Marshmello?

• 1:09:53Andy Frisella?

  No way.

• 1:09:54Speaker 01

  That's a big dog right there.

• 1:09:56Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:56Speaker 01

  That's a big dog. Uh, and last, we have, uh, 910.

• 1:10:01Andy Frisella?

  Oh, man.

• 1:10:02Speaker 01

  910.

• 1:10:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. So who's the?

• 1:10:06Speaker 01

  Who's the chunkiest?

• 1:10:07Andy Frisella?

  Go back?

• 1:10:08Speaker 01

  Go back? Bucky's in the, I think Bucky's got a run.

• 1:10:14Andy Frisella?

  I think it's Bucky or Backpack.

• 1:10:17Speaker 01

  Bucky or Backpack?

• 1:10:18Andy Frisella?

  Backpack's pretty, pretty donkey.

• 1:10:20Speaker 01

  It's Backpack. I think Marshmello looks pretty good, too, though.

• 1:10:22Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:23Speaker 01

  Not gonna lie.

• 1:10:23Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:24Speaker 01

  So, so there's Bucky.

• 1:10:26Andy Frisella?

  That don't even look like same bear.

• 1:10:27Speaker 01

  Yeah. Like, it's crazy, dude. It's crazy, so that, so that's Bucky.

• 1:10:31Andy Frisella?

  He was on that 1P protein powder, bro.

• 1:10:33Speaker 01

  He's been eating all the meat sticks.

• 1:10:34Andy Frisella?

  He's went to, he went to Target, got himself some meat sticks, all of them.

• 1:10:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, Bucky or Backpack?

• 1:10:40Andy Frisella?

  Hmm. I'm gonna say Bucky.

• 1:10:42Speaker 01

  I, I think I'm, I think I have to agree.

• 1:10:44Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:44Speaker 01

  I have to agree.

• 1:10:45Speaker 05

  People in the comments, let us know.

• 1:10:47Speaker 01

  Bucky or Backpack? I think Bucky's gonna get it this year.

• 1:10:51Andy Frisella?

  Yep, I agree.

• 1:10:52Speaker 01

  He's gonna get it. Dude, it's the same, so I also noticed, it's the same guy, uh, like, that, it's like, it's Lowberg, he's like, been photographing a lot of these, like, is that all you, like, that's his life, I guess, he's just out there, you know?

• 1:11:04Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. That's not terrible.

• 1:11:06Speaker 01

  I like it.

• 1:11:06Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:07Speaker 01

  But that's gotta be pretty fucking dangerous, though. Like, I wouldn't wanna do that shit.

• 1:11:11Andy Frisella?

  I don't know, I think it'd be cool.

• 1:11:13Speaker 01

  Just photograph some fat bear? Well, they can't chase you at that point, so I guess.

• 1:11:16Andy Frisella?

  Bullshit, they run like 40 miles an hour, dude.

• 1:11:18Speaker 01

  Even when they're this big?

• 1:11:19Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. You can't run from a bear, dude.

• 1:11:22Speaker 01

  Oh, I could outrun a bear?

• 1:11:23Andy Frisella?

  No.

• 1:11:24Speaker 01

  I, I could, bro, listen, am I life depending on it?

• 1:11:26Andy Frisella?

  Usain Bolt couldn't outrun, outrun a bear.

• 1:11:31Andy Frisella?

  You sure as fuck can't.

• 1:11:34Speaker 01

  All right, well, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta check in with the audience, well, guys, let us know who you guys think it is, if it's, uh, Bucky or Backpack.

• 1:11:41Andy Frisella?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:42Speaker 01

  My money's on Bucky.

• 1:11:43Andy Frisella?

  Yeah, I think so, too.

• 1:11:44Speaker 01

  I think my, I think my money's on Bucky.

• 1:11:45Andy Frisella?

  Bucky's been, uh, Bu- Bucky's, Bucky's man.

• 1:11:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:51Andy Frisella?

  What?

• 1:11:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's been going to Bucky, that's right. Yeah, fuck, yeah. All right, well, Fat Bear Week, we gotta stay tuned, see who's gonna win this. Um, but yeah, man, guys, Andy, that's all I got.

• 1:12:03Andy Frisella?

  Yeah. One thing I wanna say, again, go check out Operator Standard, dude, listen to the MFCO project, a lot of you guys want me to do personal development content, I fucking do it every week. We put out one podcast every single week, all about entrepreneurship, winning, the old MFCO project, very similar, but evolved, and, um, the, the technology behind the program is fucking amazing, so like, if you like 75 hard has changed your life, this is something that you need to get on to, because it's like 75 hard for every fucking area of your life.
