0:00 Speaker 00 This episode is brought to you by Boar's Head. You know what I love about football season? It's the football, but also the football watching food. And nothing hits like a Boar's Head sandwich when I'm watching the game. Really, any game day sandwich better with Boar's Head. Philly cheesesteak, layer up buttery slider rolls with Boar's Head London broil roast beef, American white cheese and picante provolone. Delicious. Then add roasted onions, peppers and Boar's Head pub style horseradish sauce. I love horseradish. And you've got the ultimate game day cheesesteak. They've also got a whole lineup of premium meats, cheeses, hummus and dips, condiments and more to serve up on game day. Head to your local Boar's Head deli counter to shop now. For game day sandwich inspiration and more, visit boar'shead.com. Boar's Head, committed to craft since 1905.

1:45 Speaker 02 He looked like horrible.
1:47 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah. What did he say to you?
1:48 Speaker 02 He said, I'm so sick, I gotta get out of here. It was great to meet you.
1:52 Speaker 00 It's one of the most polite hellos I've ever heard.
1:54 Speaker 02 He's, yeah, he's very gentle.
1:56 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, no, not with most people.
1:58 Speaker 02 I think cause he's sick.
1:59 Adam Friedland? Him saying I'm very, yeah, he's, but he's tender. He's tender. You got him at a vulnerable moment. You should have tried to kid. So you live here now, Aaron?
2:08 Speaker 02 I live here, Brooklyn Heights.
2:09 Adam Friedland? We should get, we should exchange addresses, not numbers.
2:14 Adam Friedland? So you, of, of course, you were like, you were the biggest comedian in Australia before you came here.
2:19 Speaker 02 It, um, not the biggest, but one year I did do the most sales at Melbourne Comedy Festival.
2:26 Adam Friedland? Really?
2:27 Speaker 02 Yeah.
2:28 Adam Friedland? And you, you also were saying before the show, you, you go to Hannah Gadsby's tailor too.

2:35 Adam Friedland? The same suit.
2:35 Speaker 02 Gadsby, Gadsby does, uh, like, we get the same stuff.
2:39 Adam Friedland? Do you, you, do like, uh, does Gadsby go to Hong Kong to that like molester guy? Do you know that guy?
2:45 Speaker 02 I don't know this guy.
2:46 Adam Friedland? Um, so, so, yeah, I mean, like, I, I met you here.
2:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
2:50 Adam Friedland? But back when we were in Australia, you saw us, uh, in Sydney.
2:53 Speaker 02 Yes, the three of you guys at the comedy store.
2:56 Adam Friedland? It was a triumph.
2:57 Speaker 02 What a beautiful night. You guys did stand up afterwards?
3:00 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah. I, I had my cousins that live in Sydney. I hadn't met them and they came to the show.
3:05 Speaker 02 Yes.
3:06 Adam Friedland? And Nick said, you know, some really good stuff about the Holocaust and it was.
3:10 Speaker 02 Did they, they didn't like it?
3:11 Adam Friedland? I said, nice to meet you afterwards.
3:14 Speaker 02 Did they know about the pod?
3:16 Adam Friedland? Uh, no, they were, they did not.
3:18 Speaker 02 Came in.
3:18 Adam Friedland? But they were like, they said, your boy was popping off.
3:21 Speaker 02 Yeah.
3:21 Adam Friedland? He was, he was go off season on the Holocaust.
3:24 Speaker 02 It wasn't always a Jay friendly podcast.
3:26 Adam Friedland? I, I believe it always was. I think there was always a love. That was under, it was kind of like South Park, kind of the way Cartman talks to Kyle and, you know. Where a car, you know, secretly he, he respects Jewish people and.
3:42 Speaker 02 He likes them a lot.
3:43 Adam Friedland? Yeah, every single one.
3:44 Speaker 02 Cartman's funded by.
3:46 Adam Friedland? By Israel.
3:47 Speaker 02 By Israel.
3:48 Adam Friedland? Really? That would be a great episode. If he met Netanyahu and he started respecting Jews. If Cartman was like.
3:56 Speaker 02 How about Cartman Yahoo?
3:57 Adam Friedland? Oh, that would be good. How would that go?
4:00 Speaker 02 I, you.
4:01 Adam Friedland? You respect my authority, Gaza. Okay, let's cut that.
4:07 Adam Friedland? Let's cut that.
4:08 Speaker 02 No, a lot's making it.
4:09 Adam Friedland? When, when we were in Melbourne. No, it's all staying in, dude. This has to. We're running, we were gonna stop the recorder right at one hour. Exactly, on the dot. And we used to do that with Come Town. We literally put a timer. And like mid-sentence, we'd stop the recorder. It was the laziest job in the world.
4:28 Speaker 02 It's good, it's efficient.
4:29 Adam Friedland? Yeah, and it was, I don't know.
4:31 Speaker 02 It forces you to be better in that hour.
4:32 Adam Friedland? It was magic. It was, and the rest is history. No, uh, yeah, in Melbourne, everyone was like, yeah, good luck over there. It's like the woke city. And at that time, we were like the cheeky white boy podcast. We were like a little bit. It was before, you know.
4:47 Speaker 02 Skank Fest.
4:48 Adam Friedland? Before Skank Fest, before Shane, you know.
4:50 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:51 Adam Friedland? Shane hosted SNL.
4:52 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:53 Adam Friedland? Now white boys are back up, but like at that time, it was really.
4:56 Speaker 02 Maybe Come Town will host SNL.
4:58 Adam Friedland? Trump elected for the second time.
5:00 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:00 Adam Friedland? Come Town. Right before Come Town hosts SNL. It'd be so funny.
5:06 Speaker 02 They've never had three hosts.
5:07 Adam Friedland? If they book Come Town as the host of SNL and they, they just have Nick and Stoff.
5:15 Adam Friedland? I'm like, I'm like watching it on TV. I'm like, what the fuck, dude?
5:18 Speaker 02 You could, you could go on Weekend Update.
5:20 Adam Friedland? Tell me, yeah. No, no, they don't even tell me. Yeah, I'm just seeing it at home. My dad, I get a call from my dad. He's like yelling at me. I'm like, I didn't know.
5:30 Speaker 02 He would want you to be up there.
5:31 Adam Friedland? What the fuck?
5:32 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:32 Adam Friedland? Um, no, yeah, but they're like, good looking Melbourne. It's like the woke city. And so I was on stage and I just incoherent Australian, la la la. And I said, I was like, I was like, shut up, dude. You'll never be on Come Town. Huge ovation, right? And then I got home.
5:48 Speaker 02 This is a heckler.
5:49 Adam Friedland? Some heckler, right? I got home in Melbourne, yeah.
5:52 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:52 Adam Friedland? And back to the hotel and then it was like, I, I saw on like Twitter, like good on Adam for shutting down those racists tonight. At the Melbourne show. But I didn't realize that they were shouting out like terrible slurs, apparently.
6:05 Speaker 02 Oh, really?
6:06 Adam Friedland? But like, I, it was incoherent to me. So I accidentally was.
6:10 Speaker 02 That's a perfect way to play Melbourne.
6:12 Adam Friedland? Became a hero. It was like.
6:15 Adam Friedland? It was very like, uh, I didn't, I guess now I'm saying it, but it was not on purpose. But had I known what they were saying, I would have also. I don't know if I would say you'll never be on Come Town.
6:24 Speaker 02 Yeah.
6:25 Adam Friedland? I don't know if that's the right thing.
6:28 Adam Friedland? Just like, yeah, you see like a, like someone being racially abusing someone on the streets. Like, you'll never be on Come Town, brother.
6:35 Speaker 02 This is not Come Town. This is not our values.
6:37 Adam Friedland? Cut it out, bro. Stop. You've listened to way too many podcasts. It's just, it's a, it's, it's a, it's kind of a high minded kind of satire. You don't understand. You're taking it too far.
6:50 Speaker 02 Did Come Town have like a charter, like ethics, mission statement, that type of thing?
6:54 Adam Friedland? We never talked to the press.
6:57 Speaker 02 Is that true?
6:57 Adam Friedland? Yeah, we're like, we've, we request, we rejected every interviewer. Like, the New York Times has us up like three times.
7:04 Speaker 02 Yeah.
7:04 Adam Friedland? But that was next policy. That was next. Well, it was always on like.
7:08 Speaker 02 The dirtbag.
7:09 Adam Friedland? They always make it seem like it's like, we want to profile this cool thing that you're doing. And then like the third paragraph is, but.
7:17 Adam Friedland? But they're fucking gay or racist or, you know.
7:21 Speaker 02 That's what New York.
7:22 Adam Friedland? It's like, yeah, it was like, whatever. So that was pretty smart at the time, but now I'm, I'm open to any press inquiry. If anyone's watching at this point.
7:29 Speaker 02 Yeah.
7:29 Adam Friedland? Yeah, I'm, I'm happy to.
7:31 Speaker 02 You might go to Australia. I could hook you up with Australian press.
7:35 Adam Friedland? On like what? The Morning Zoo Radio?
7:37 Speaker 02 There's one called The Project, which is right in between comedy and the news. They'll love to have you on.
7:42 Adam Friedland? Like The Daily Show?
7:44 Speaker 02 It's, it's, it's like a news show. It's genuinely the news, but they got three comedians on the panel. So it's like, they're saying, oh, there's a war.
7:54 Adam Friedland? Making jokes about Gaza?
7:56 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
7:57 Adam Friedland? Seems a little bit in bad taste. I don't know.
7:59 Speaker 02 That's, that's what some people think.
8:00 Adam Friedland? I don't know. Do you guys have like drive time radio? Do you have like wacky?
8:04 Speaker 02 We got everything. Yeah, we got drive time radio.
8:07 Adam Friedland? Pete and the retard.
8:10 Speaker 02 It's close. We got one called Fitzy and Whipper. Like, that's our, that's our guys.
8:15 Adam Friedland? That's your prime minister. Oh, no. Yeah.
8:17 Speaker 02 But it's, yeah.
8:17 Adam Friedland? Prime Minister Whipper. You guys are kind of, I've always felt like, um, in my mind, I said that you guys are like the America to New Zealand's Canada.
8:26 Speaker 02 Yeah, that's fair.
8:27 Adam Friedland? Like, they're like doing the hack in, like in the way that in Canada, they do the land acknowledgement.
8:33 Speaker 02 Yeah, we we do the land acknowledgement now as well.
8:37 Adam Friedland? Are you copying?
8:38 Speaker 02 In the, yeah, we copied.
8:40 Adam Friedland? That's so cowardly.
8:41 Speaker 02 We uh.
8:42 Adam Friedland? You're trying to be like the hippos?
8:44 Speaker 02 We're trying to be like New Zealand.
8:45 Adam Friedland? But you don't have a dance.
8:46 Speaker 02 We don't, yeah, not, not a unifying one.
8:49 Adam Friedland? No.
8:49 Speaker 02 We get taught dances, but they're to like Tina Turner songs and stuff.
8:53 Adam Friedland? Yeah, we had square dancing in gym class in fifth grade.
8:56 Speaker 02 Is that?
8:56 Adam Friedland? We did Achy Breaky Heart. Do you remember that song?
8:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, Billy Ray?
9:01 Adam Friedland? Don't you know my heart? But yes.
9:04 Speaker 02 Pretty good.
9:05 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, and there's like a turn.
9:06 Speaker 02 The nut bush, that's what we do.
9:08 Adam Friedland? Who's that?
9:09 Speaker 02 Tina Turner.
9:09 Adam Friedland? Crowded house.
9:11 Speaker 02 Nah, Tina, your, your girl, you know her?
9:14 Adam Friedland? Hmm, she from New Zealand?
9:16 Speaker 02 She's from America, but she's Matt.
9:18 Adam Friedland? I know her, yes, victim of domestic abuse, Ike Turner, Ice Eleven. You don't know about that?
9:25 Speaker 02 We just know the song, we know the dance.
9:27 Adam Friedland? So you guys do the land acknowledgement now? What do you, what do you say in, in an Australian land acknowledgement?
9:33 Speaker 02 Um, we, we acknowledge like the traditional owners, that type of thing.
9:37 Adam Friedland? It's kind of rude.
9:39 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, go on.
9:40 Adam Friedland? It's like we beat you. We just wanna admit that, we just like wanna.
9:45 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:46 Adam Friedland? Out of respect for the losers.
9:48 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:48 Adam Friedland? We just wanna admit that we won.
9:51 Speaker 02 I don't know the ends and now.
9:52 Adam Friedland? They're not gonna give it back to the indigenous.
9:54 Speaker 02 They, I don't think they will, yeah.
9:56 Adam Friedland? It's kind of a little bit like.
9:56 Speaker 02 It's not looking like that.
9:58 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it's like, no, we're here, this is ours now.
10:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, cause they're building more apartments and stuff. Last time I checked, they're actually building more stuff.
10:07 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it's still ours. The Hong Kong, uh, mainland boys.
10:13 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
10:14 Adam Friedland? Doing the drifting races.
10:15 Speaker 02 China's getting Hong Kong.

10:18 Adam Friedland? They got it, yeah.
10:19 Speaker 02 They're gonna secure Taiwan next, like, that's the last.
10:21 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
10:22 Speaker 02 That's the last frontier.
10:23 Adam Friedland? I, I'm not paying it off. But I kinda have to start paying attention before the, our pivot. We've said for a long time that we're gonna go CCP.
10:32 Speaker 02 You're gonna go CCP?
10:33 Adam Friedland? You have to predict with the winners, you know?
10:36 Speaker 02 Well, I go CCP, will you go Russia or Ukraine?
10:39 Adam Friedland? Russia, they don't have shit, they're like stupid, like.
10:42 Speaker 02 Yeah.
10:42 Adam Friedland? I mean, it's like kind of.
10:44 Speaker 02 Cause that's not done yet, right? That's still kinda going.
10:47 Adam Friedland? Oh, Russia and Ukraine, I'm staying out of completely.
10:51 Speaker 02 You're not putting odds on, you're putting a draw.
10:53 Adam Friedland? It's white on white, not my problem. It sounds about white to me. The caucacity, the cau- Pete, don't get, Pete, don't start me, don't get me started on the caucacity of that conflict.
11:05 Speaker 02 Bush caucacity.
11:07 Adam Friedland? Yeah, Bush caucacity in the, in the white.
11:11 Speaker 02 That's what they're gonna remake it to, yeah.
11:15 Adam Friedland? Okay, let's leave it to the professionals, thank you. He said the Oaxaca dance, you know that's a part of Mexico.
11:21 Speaker 02 I know Oaxaca, yeah.
11:22 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, why'd you say the-
11:23 Speaker 02 They got cheese.
11:25 Adam Friedland? No, you said the Oaxaca dance, kids. Shut up, shut up. They pay me millions for this, okay?
11:33 Speaker 02 That's pretty good. That's a professional broadcast.
11:36 Adam Friedland? If everyone realizes that they could do this
11:40 Adam Friedland? this low effort thing that I do, I'm screwed, I'm gonna have to move back to Israel and would have to move back to the beaches of Tel Aviv.
11:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:50 Adam Friedland? Oh, man. Um, yeah, so, but like, did you see like in Congress, the Congress in New Zealand recently? They were doing the Oaxaca.
12:01 Speaker 02 The Oaxaca, yeah. I saw TikToks of it, because my wife, she's on TikTok and she'll be like, look at that. But that's all the context, like.
12:09 Adam Friedland? And is she graduating soon from high school, or? Just kidding, just kidding, that's just a joke. Everyone's on that crap now.
12:16 Speaker 02 What?
12:17 Adam Friedland? Is she, has her mental health suffered from TikTok?
12:20 Speaker 02 From TikTok? Um, oh, yeah. I, um, I don't know, I think she likes it. She really likes it. It kind of like enriches her life a lot.
12:33 Adam Friedland? Come on, dude.
12:34 Speaker 02 It's really good. I like, I like the CCP.
12:39 Speaker 02 TikTok TikTok should not be banned, you know?
12:41 Adam Friedland? No, I mean, like, what? You have to say that for your wife now?
12:45 Speaker 02 Yeah.
12:46 Adam Friedland? That her life is better from TikTok? I mean, it depends on what your algorithm is.
12:49 Speaker 02 No, I don't like TikTok. I don't have TikTok.
12:51 Adam Friedland? I do Instagram reels, but all my algorithm is like people like mispronouncing things. And like, yeah.
12:57 Speaker 02 I do YouTube shorts. That's like right, the most right wing one.
13:01 Adam Friedland? Is it?
13:01 Speaker 02 I think so.
13:02 Adam Friedland? Who's on it? Mine are always like Shane Gillis epics, like, and it's just like him on Matt, like a clip from them on the show.
13:09 Speaker 02 I get Shane sometimes Shane's on there.
13:11 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
13:12 Speaker 02 Shane's on Rogan sometimes, you know, stuff like that.
13:15 Adam Friedland? How do you book that? How do you book that?
13:17 Speaker 02 Joe Rogan?
13:18 Adam Friedland? Yeah, do you know?
13:19 Speaker 02 I think you gotta get, get to the guy himself.
13:22 Adam Friedland? How do you get there?
13:24 Speaker 02 Yeah, maybe you should move to Austin, do the mics for a little while.
13:28 Adam Friedland? I gotta start all over again, just waiting for Kill Tony in an alleyway?
13:33 Speaker 02 Put your name down in Kill Tony.
13:35 Adam Friedland? When I open, when guys open for me on the road, they're like, that's the plan for them.
13:40 Speaker 02 Yeah.
13:40 Adam Friedland? They're like, I had a, they're like, if you get it, I didn't even know what the system was. If you get it, then you get a golden ticket and then you get the secret show.
13:48 Speaker 02 He's won.
13:49 Adam Friedland? Or you get the other mic that's like a less than the golden ticket.
13:53 Speaker 02 Yeah.
13:53 Adam Friedland? And then they go back to like Denver and they're like.
13:55 Speaker 02 What's the golden ticket? You get like two minutes or something?
13:57 Adam Friedland? There's like another show at the mothership at like four AM. And it's filled with like, I don't know, just Elon Musk or somebody over there.
14:07 Speaker 02 Elon Musk.
14:07 Adam Friedland? And it's just like free speech and stuff.
14:10 Speaker 02 He's invented a program to see if you're gonna make it.
14:11 Adam Friedland? I don't know what happens in Austin. I don't wanna know.
14:14 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:15 Adam Friedland? You know, because it, but it doesn't sound good.
14:17 Speaker 02 You ever done the mothership?
14:20 Adam Friedland? I wouldn't if they even asked. I wouldn't do it because of what they.
14:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, what they did.
14:28 Adam Friedland? Yeah, the free, the free speech.
14:30 Speaker 02 The free speech.
14:30 Adam Friedland? It would have been so funny if Tony Hinchcliffe lost Trump the election.
14:35 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:35 Adam Friedland? It didn't happen, but it would have been just the best thing ever.
14:39 Speaker 02 It'd be crazy.
14:41 Adam Friedland? Because the way he won the first time was, do you know about the Anthony Weiner?
14:46 Speaker 02 No.
14:47 Adam Friedland? So, yeah, Anthony Weiner was his.
14:48 Speaker 02 I know, um, Matty Weiner.
14:51 Adam Friedland? Uh, similar. He was this congressman who kept getting caught sending his penis in DMs.
14:57 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:58 Adam Friedland? And he got caught for like the fourth time.
15:00 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:01 Adam Friedland? Right before the election and I guess as a result of his wife, his wife worked for Hillary Clinton. And as a result of that, the FBI reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation 10 days before the election.
15:16 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:16 Adam Friedland? So literally like a man's penis, like.
15:20 Speaker 02 Broke the internet.
15:22 Adam Friedland? It kind of shifted the course of history.
15:25 Speaker 02 That's crazy.
15:26 Adam Friedland? But if that culminated in Tony Hinchcliffe undoing that, it would have been kind of perfect. I but unfortunately, you know, he's back.
15:37 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
15:38 Adam Friedland? And I'm one of the biggest victims of this whole, whole thing.
15:41 Speaker 02 Of this whole thing? How so?
15:42 Adam Friedland? Oh, I don't know.
15:45 Adam Friedland? I'm not really.
15:46 Speaker 02 You can't get on Kill Tony.
15:47 Adam Friedland? No, I would love to be on the mothership. I would, I would, I would, and Joe Rogan, it would be an honor. If you ever say anything about illegals cutting the penises off the kids, I'll just, I'm gonna nod and.
16:02 Speaker 02 And smile.
16:03 Adam Friedland? And I'll be like, Omaha Funny Bone this weekend. That's, that's right, Joe.
16:11 Speaker 02 What was your favorite city in Australia?
16:17 Adam Friedland? I mean, I thought, you know, they're nice. I mean.
16:20 Speaker 02 You like, you'll go back.
16:23 Adam Friedland? I mean, if I'm getting paid, baby.
16:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:25 Adam Friedland? It's so fucking far.
16:26 Speaker 02 It's a big flight.
16:28 Adam Friedland? It's so far.
16:28 Speaker 02 22 hours.
16:30 Adam Friedland? It's horrible.
16:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
16:32 Adam Friedland? It's really just like, and your body feels terrible for a week after when you're back.
16:37 Speaker 02 Yeah.
16:37 Adam Friedland? We went to Japan before.
16:39 Speaker 02 Did you?
16:40 Adam Friedland? With me and Nick and Stav and my ex-girlfriend. No, before the, the Australia tours.
16:45 Speaker 02 Oh, right, right.
16:46 Adam Friedland? To get our circadian rhythms.
16:48 Speaker 02 Yeah.
16:49 Adam Friedland? It was my stroke of genius. And then, but like after we got back, I was just, we were like texting each other at like 4am being like, I, I just like, uh, I'm not tired yet. Like, yeah, you're just fucked up. How do you deal with it? This is great podcast talk.
17:05 Speaker 02 I don't know.
17:06 Adam Friedland? How do you deal with the jet lag, Aaron?
17:08 Speaker 02 I li- I like it. I think uh
17:10 Adam Friedland? This will be a reel. We'll do a reel of this.
17:12 Speaker 02 Going back here is nice. Or, or one way is like really nice. Like you don't feel it at all. I think Australia, going back to Australia, it's good.
17:20 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
17:21 Speaker 02 You're good there, but you come back and you're destroyed. I don't know. You, you have to be disciplined.
17:25 Adam Friedland? So, Michael, uh, this is our social media guy. I want you to clip that. Put
17:31 Speaker 02 How to deal with jet lag?
17:32 Adam Friedland? Put like some of that music that like Andrew Tate's style videos are on about
17:36 Speaker 02 Yeah.
17:37 Adam Friedland? About like business and mindset. Yeah, yeah. How do you deal with the jet lag?
17:42 Speaker 02 Andrew Tate would say what you want, but he'd be good at dealing with jet lag. I imagine if you ranked everyone, he'd be at the top.
17:50 Adam Friedland? He's like only awake at night or something. I feel like he's like a fan. He lives in Transylvania or something?
17:55 Speaker 02 He doesn't, he just never dealt with the jet lag.
17:58 Adam Friedland? Have you ever like watched Andrew Tate's stuff?
18:00 Speaker 02 No, no.
18:01 Adam Friedland? Oh, no. Cause typically you'll find yourself agreeing with 95 or
18:06 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:06 Adam Friedland? To 98% of it.
18:08 Speaker 02 Top G, I know that.
18:09 Adam Friedland? Oh, I didn't know that part.
18:11 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:11 Adam Friedland? Maybe I'll watch some of it.
18:13 Speaker 02 You gotta get to that.
18:14 Adam Friedland? No, I don't understand. I mean, I think that there's like, um, there was a guy Tucker Max
18:20 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
18:21 Adam Friedland? Who I think was like kind of the progenitor of all that Andrew Tate stuff.
18:25 Speaker 02 He was the OG.
18:26 Adam Friedland? He used to read like a, he used to write a blog that like when I was in middle school and high school, we'd read
18:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:31 Adam Friedland? About how fucked up he got and how much pussy he got.
18:34 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
18:34 Adam Friedland? Do you remember it?
18:38 Adam Friedland? I didn't know Zero Hedge. What was Tucker Max's book called?
18:48 Adam Friedland? But I just, it's, it's, it literally is for 11 year old boys.
18:52 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:53 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
18:53 Speaker 02 It's sowing the seeds so they'll grow into
18:56 Adam Friedland? It's like dreaming of like, I'm gonna be James Bond.
19:00 Adam Friedland? I hope they serve beer and hell. As well as finisher.
19:04 Speaker 02 So these
19:07 Adam Friedland? Yeah, so I used to read that when I was thirteen and I thought that.
19:12 Speaker 02 Did you really?
19:12 Adam Friedland? Well, it was books. Yeah, I thought it was smart. It's like an adult writing it.
19:16 Speaker 02 Was that out when you were thirteen? You would have.
19:18 Adam Friedland? Maybe like, yeah, middle school, early high school.
19:20 Speaker 02 That's crazy that you knew that stuff. I didn't know anything.
19:23 Adam Friedland? I, when we were in middle school, we used to say, like, the most misogynistic you ever are is like in sixth grade. Before you've even touched a girl. We'd say stuff like, I would fuck that bitch in the ass. We say.
19:38 Speaker 02 But you're so scared.
19:39 Adam Friedland? I'd never even kissed. Yeah. I say about, but like also I like hadn't, didn't even have a single pub and that, that girl was like a head and shoulders taller than me. I'd be like, I'd, I'd fuck that bitch in the ass. Like, it's in, in retrospect, pretty cool.
19:57 Adam Friedland? Pretty pimp.
19:58 Speaker 02 But you've leveled out since then. You've like finished puberty, like your hormones.
20:02 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah. I hit it about like twenty nine to thirty two. I had my growth spurt. Yeah.
20:07 Speaker 02 What are you at now?
20:08 Adam Friedland? My voice broke.
20:10 Speaker 02 What age are you on?
20:12 Adam Friedland? Uh, thirty seven.
20:13 Speaker 02 Thirty seven?
20:14 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
20:14 Speaker 02 That's nice. That's a good age.
20:16 Adam Friedland? You think so?
20:17 Speaker 02 I'm excited to be forty.
20:19 Adam Friedland? What? Oh, because that's when the, the goats get like really big in comedy.
20:23 Speaker 02 That's when you start comedy.
20:24 Adam Friedland? That's when Burr, Louie, that's when you really start.
20:27 Speaker 02 I hope to get passed at the cellar by the time I'm forty five.
20:31 Adam Friedland? I just hope to get a golden ticket to the mothership. There has to be fifty five year olds like waiting for the, putting their names in the bucket at Kill Tony.
20:41 Speaker 02 That's really sad.
20:43 Adam Friedland? I kind of, did you, you had mics and stuff in Australia?
20:46 Speaker 02 We started to have mics like four years into me doing comedy, but like the thing that we would do was like, we had like, uh, open mic competitions. So I would enter all these like different competitions. They'd have like a regular.
21:01 Adam Friedland? Just comedy or like acoustic guitar and stuff?
21:03 Speaker 02 Just comedy, but it was like kind of a scam, not a scam, but it's like at the first half, they'd have a pro show. And then an open mic competition where everyone would bring their friends to like.
21:14 Adam Friedland? Bringer.
21:15 Speaker 02 Vote. Yeah.
21:16 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
21:16 Speaker 02 That kind of thing.
21:17 Adam Friedland? Yeah, no, I mean, like, I guess like back, you know, Stav and Nick and I were all at open mics like.
21:23 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:24 Adam Friedland? The, just the, the, the school shooters that you meet that have like.
21:28 Speaker 02 It's tough.
21:29 Adam Friedland? Honestly, it has saved lives. There are like.
21:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:32 Adam Friedland? There are lone wolf active shooters that like found open mic comedy.
21:36 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:37 Adam Friedland? And we're like a kind of trying to do Louie at the time where they were like, my body sucks and you know, like.
21:45 Speaker 02 Who do you think is the best comic that was on track to be a school shooter, but now they're successful?
21:52 Speaker 02 I, I wonder if those guys ever make it.
21:56 Adam Friedland? No, I mean, I don't know.
21:57 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:57 Adam Friedland? Who would have been a school shooter?
22:02 Speaker 02 I think it was.
22:03 Adam Friedland? Probably Amy Schumer. Yeah, there was a girl shooter yesterday.
22:07 Speaker 02 Really?
22:07 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
22:08 Speaker 02 The first one?
22:08 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
22:09 Speaker 02 Well, it's gone crazy.
22:11 Adam Friedland? I'm not even gonna, yeah, that, when I see stuff like that, I'm like.
22:16 Adam Friedland? I'm not gonna say anything.
22:18 Speaker 02 That's crazy. That is nuts. I didn't know that.
22:21 Adam Friedland? It's, it's bizarre that it's like everyone on the internet now, like, I don't know, we have careers, so we have to like be posting stuff. And it's like kind of humiliating still.
22:30 Speaker 02 Yeah.
22:31 Adam Friedland? But like people are like, everyone else, most ninety nine, oh, point nine percent of the people are doing that for zero dollars.
22:38 Speaker 02 They post for free.
22:40 Adam Friedland? They're yelling at the president all day for zero dollars. It's bizarre. And they, they have to make a statement. When there's a girl shooter, they have to be, they have to.
22:51 Speaker 02 Yeah.
22:51 Adam Friedland? They're like the press secretary for Aaron Chen or like for themselves.
22:55 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:55 Adam Friedland? It's bizarre at this point.
22:57 Speaker 02 Yeah, it's kind of, kind of brand world, that type of thing.
23:00 Adam Friedland? Yeah. I'm, I, I yell at Peter Dutton. That's who I yell at.
23:04 Speaker 02 That's good.
23:05 Adam Friedland? Yeah. That was who the prime minister was when we were there.
23:08 Speaker 02 At the time?
23:09 Adam Friedland? I think so.
23:10 Speaker 02 Maybe, yeah.
23:10 Adam Friedland? He kinda looked like a penis.
23:12 Speaker 02 He's like bald. He's like completely like, yeah.
23:15 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
23:15 Speaker 02 He looked, he looks kind of evil, but I don't, I don't know what he's got going on, you know? I'm kinda.
23:21 Adam Friedland? He was a cop.
23:22 Speaker 02 He was a cop. Kamala. He's an Aussie.
23:24 Adam Friedland? He was Kamala. Yeah. He was an Indian cop. He was a South Asian cop. Um, yeah. No, I, we, we all liked, uh, Peter Dutton.
23:36 Speaker 02 You like it. It's a good name.
23:38 Adam Friedland? Or, uh, not Peter Dutton, uh, Tony Abbott. That's who we like.
23:40 Speaker 02 Tony Abbott. He, he was like loose.
23:43 Adam Friedland? He bit the, um.
23:44 Speaker 02 He bit the onion.
23:45 Adam Friedland? The onion.
23:46 Speaker 02 He wore speed dealers.
23:48 Adam Friedland? Was he mentally retarded?
23:50 Speaker 02 Um.
23:51 Adam Friedland? Or did he just kind of?
23:52 Speaker 02 Not a fish. I think.
23:53 Adam Friedland? He just had a lot of, like, uh.
23:55 Speaker 02 If he did comedy in Brooklyn, he would talk about autism.
23:58 Adam Friedland? You think so?
23:59 Speaker 02 Yeah.
23:59 Adam Friedland? He was woke. He was like kind of identity style guy?
24:02 Speaker 02 Not, definitely not. You, you couldn't call him identity style, but.
24:06 Adam Friedland? He would be in Bushwick doing like, like, new clown?
24:10 Speaker 02 Yeah, he'd be a clown.
24:12 Adam Friedland? Apparently like in LA, there's a scene of like alt clowns.
24:16 Speaker 02 I heard about this at like the Lyric Hyperion or something.
24:19 Adam Friedland? Parents should fucking stop paying for that.
24:24 Speaker 02 Yeah, clown school.
24:26 Adam Friedland? Can you cut that?
24:28 Speaker 02 You would send them to clown school before they did that.
24:31 Adam Friedland? Clown school?
24:32 Speaker 02 I reckon clown school saved a lot of lives.
24:35 Adam Friedland? What, from what? Put, getting a wife? From getting married? From having a family?
24:43 Speaker 02 Yeah.
24:44 Adam Friedland? It's real, it's just, uh, I mean, it's really sad.
24:47 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
24:47 Adam Friedland? Have you been, encountered the clown scene?
24:50 Speaker 02 I mean, like, when you're Australian, you go to Edinburgh Fringe a lot and Melbourne Comedy Festival and the clowns are there, you know? For, I think in the years of like 2019, that kind of era, that was big, big clown world.
25:05 Adam Friedland? And then COVID.
25:06 Speaker 02 Yeah. These guys. Then COVID, yeah.
25:11 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
25:11 Speaker 02 COVID is, this is an. It's crazy. There was like 20 to 30 clowns in, at the festival, you know? They'd all share one car, um.
25:22 Adam Friedland? Run that again, Pete. Let's get a laugh.
25:26 Adam Friedland? Pete, why didn't you give him anything on that? You've been laughing at like girl mass shootings, but you're not laughing at this gr- come on.
25:32 Speaker 02 It's pretty good stuff.
25:33 Adam Friedland? From the top. So, uh, what?
25:35 Speaker 02 20, I'm talking 20 to 30 clowns at one festival. How did they get around? One car.
25:45 Adam Friedland? That was good.
25:46 Speaker 02 Yeah.
25:47 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:48 Speaker 02 Thanks for saying that.
25:48 Adam Friedland? Okay. So you're married?
25:51 Speaker 02 I'm a married man, yeah.
25:52 Adam Friedland? Where'd you meet your wife? In art school?
25:54 Speaker 02 Not art school, well, regular school, Sydney, Sydney University.

26:03 Speaker 02 Go SU.
26:04 Adam Friedland? Were you in a frat?
26:05 Speaker 02 I was not in a frat. The difference is, in Australia, we go to the, the school that is in your town, so you don't move.
26:13 Adam Friedland? Really?
26:13 Speaker 02 Yeah.
26:14 Adam Friedland? And you still, you stay with your mommy forever?
26:16 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
26:16 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it is kind of a mommy's boy country.
26:18 Speaker 02 It is.
26:19 Adam Friedland? Everyone is saying that about Australia. Yeah, it's weird. You guys have very specific racisms there.
26:25 Speaker 02 How do you mean?
26:26 Adam Friedland? Like, we were in Sydney and the Uber driver's like, you don't wanna go down there, it's a bunch of lebos. And I thought he meant lesbians, and I was like, like, like lesbian ladies, and he's like, no, Lebanese.
26:37 Speaker 02 Yeah, we, we're quite diverse.
26:38 Adam Friedland? There's like four million Lebanese people in the world.
26:42 Speaker 02 I love, Australian Lebanese guys, that's like the best subculture in the world.
26:46 Adam Friedland? Oh, that's a type of guy.
26:48 Speaker 02 Well, there's like kinda Lebanese, it used to be the Greek guys, like, they were that type of guys. Now it's kinda everyone, like, even Vietnamese people are Lebanese.
26:56 Adam Friedland? What style is a Lebanese Australian guy?
26:58 Speaker 02 Lebanese?
26:59 Adam Friedland? Like a metrosexual?
27:00 Speaker 02 I, not a, oh, some, sometimes, but like, the, I guess the stereotype is that, like, you know, they, they're in a specific area of Sydney, they, um, they're like, um, a certain type of Aussie drill mu- music. They got an accent. You know Nick Kyrgios, the tennis player?
27:19 Adam Friedland? He's the man.
27:20 Speaker 02 He's the man. He's like, he's like kinda that style of guy, and he's like the best guy in the world.
27:26 Adam Friedland? He's the coolest, but he's, he's Greek, no, or something?
27:28 Speaker 02 He's Greek, see, so it's like kinda a vibe of a person.
27:32 Adam Friedland? I like how he has a bad attitude.
27:34 Speaker 02 He's got a naughty attitude.
27:35 Adam Friedland? He throws a tantrum on the court.
27:37 Speaker 02 But he's the most talented guy in the world.
27:39 Adam Friedland? As an analyst, he's amazing. He was just doing the US Open this year.
27:42 Speaker 02 Yeah, he's funny.
27:43 Adam Friedland? And he loves Kobe.
27:44 Speaker 02 I really wish he won a Grand Slam, that would, I mean, like, just even one Open, you know?
27:49 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah.
27:50 Speaker 02 Cause I, like, I support him wholeheartedly. I love the-
27:53 Adam Friedland? I support everyone from my country as well.
27:56 Speaker 02 Do you really?

28:56 Speaker 02 Picasso?
28:57 Adam Friedland? Yeah, Monet was a fucking pervert or something.
29:01 Speaker 02 Cause I only did it one hour. If I stuck with it, I would be able to say like the levels of stuff that Gadsby says, but I just did one and a half years.

30:07 Speaker 02 Is he good at tailoring, though?
30:09 Adam Friedland? I, the suits are all terrible.
30:11 Speaker 02 The suits are bad.

30:20 Speaker 02 Yeah, in Hong Kong, you can get suits, like amazing suits, tailored to you for very cheap.
30:26 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
30:26 Speaker 02 You'd use to fly out to do that. If you were Chinese and in Australia, you'd fly to Hong Kong.
30:30 Adam Friedland? Should we go shopping?
30:32 Speaker 02 It'd be, it'd be fun.
30:33 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
30:33 Speaker 02 You wanna go to Hong Kong right now?
30:35 Adam Friedland? Well, I'm waiting for the private jet, like, era of my career. I think when you get like five hundred million dollars, you can have your own plane.
30:41 Speaker 02 That's cra- I, I, that comes up on my YouTube shorts, this guy who sells private jets to people.
30:47 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
30:47 Speaker 02 It's like, this is how you sell a private jet.
30:49 Adam Friedland? Really?
30:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:51 Adam Friedland? And how do you do it? You insult the guy?
30:53 Speaker 02 So, these guys, they'd come to him and they'd be like, oh, I'm, um, so it's like, where are you flying to? And they'll be like, I'm flying to, from, um, Louisiana to Los Angeles, five times a week.
31:04 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
31:04 Speaker 02 He's like, how many people? And then he's like, what you want is a Learjet, you know, that's like comfortable.
31:10 Adam Friedland? That's the size of plane you want, yeah.
31:12 Speaker 02 Yeah.
31:12 Adam Friedland? And that, that's, that's all, it's.
31:14 Speaker 02 It's really easy, Joe. But he wears like a suit, he's got this iPad, you know, and he's like, just plugs it in.
31:21 Adam Friedland? Yeah, it's pretty good.
31:22 Speaker 02 You could do it online, really.
31:23 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah, I mean, I could do it, no problem.
31:26 Speaker 02 Yeah.
31:26 Adam Friedland? I mean, I think that it'd be cool, I mean, I, it's probably bad for the, what, what do they say, the environment or whatever, but.
31:32 Speaker 02 Yeah.
31:32 Adam Friedland? If I like hit you up, I was like, you wanna get dinner in Tokyo?
31:35 Speaker 02 Yeah. Get on the PJ.
31:37 Adam Friedland? Get on our plane.

31:47 Speaker 02 No.
31:48 Adam Friedland? You're, you're, you're close, you're getting close.

31:58 Speaker 02 Yeah.
31:58 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah.
31:59 Speaker 02 Really?

33:39 Adam Friedland? They're like, we're not fucking mimes. Yeah, yeah. They get pissed about it.
33:42 Speaker 02 And mimes can't, can't say anything about that.

34:07 Speaker 02 That's so nice to say.
34:08 Adam Friedland? In Australia, I got.
34:10 Speaker 02 Well, cause like, I feel like the vibe was like. I was scared I wasn't like saying enough crazy stuff, you know?
34:16 Adam Friedland? That's what people think.
34:17 Speaker 02 Yeah, people think that. I think you go into it thinking that and then you're guarded.
34:21 Adam Friedland? And you're about to pop off and then you hold back and you're like, Lorne Michaels could be here.
34:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, Lorne, Lorne goes. He, cause he's scouting you guys to host SNL.

34:40 Speaker 02 Yeah.
34:40 Adam Friedland? They didn't even tell me. I didn't even know that they were, that Come Town was still a thing.
34:48 Adam Friedland? It'd be so funny if they were, they were still doing it. I just had no idea. They said that the show ended because it ended to me.
34:56 Speaker 02 It's really funny.
34:57 Adam Friedland? It's a conspiracy of silence. Like, all of America has been lying to me. My girlfriend knows that Come Town still exists.
35:04 Speaker 02 You're on a different internet.
35:05 Adam Friedland? Yeah, yeah.
35:06 Speaker 02 They put blockers.
35:07 Adam Friedland? They, they changed, they've hacked my phones.
35:10 Speaker 02 Yeah.

35:15 Speaker 02 That's when you'll find out.
35:16 Adam Friedland? Yeah, they made the set. No, like, no one, the, the talk show doesn't even go on the internet.
35:22 Speaker 02 No.
35:22 Adam Friedland? They asked Chris Cuomo to come sit next to me and they're like, they've convinced me I'm a talk show host. Just to get me off the pod.
35:32 Speaker 02 It's pretty good.
35:35 Adam Friedland? I would be flattered, honestly. The effort, I would be flattered.
35:39 Speaker 02 Yeah, it's a lot of effort for Come Town.
35:41 Adam Friedland? If you could watch your own funeral, would you, would you do it?
35:45 Speaker 02 How would that work?
35:46 Adam Friedland? I just want to hear what, how, how much everyone really loves me. Cause they're not saying it to me nowadays.
35:52 Speaker 02 To your face.
35:52 Adam Friedland? But if they think I'm dead, but they'll be so mad when I walk out of the back and I'm like.
36:00 Speaker 02 I reckon you'll get, yeah.
36:02 Adam Friedland? They'll be like, they'll, then they'll, they'll be even meaner to me.
36:06 Speaker 02 Who do you think will do speeches?

36:52 Speaker 02 They, cause they dress real sick, huh?
36:55 Adam Friedland? I think it was wasted. I think he was wasted and I don't think he like did enough prep.
37:00 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah.

37:32 Adam Friedland? I wasn't, I didn't.
37:34 Speaker 02 Did you know the?
37:34 Adam Friedland? In retrospect, it was pretty fun. Yeah, I knew the person. It was sad.
37:37 Speaker 02 I'm sorry.
37:38 Adam Friedland? It was very sad, but like in retrospect, I'm like, Jesus Christ, that guy was, that guy was gold. That guy gave me a story for the past.
37:47 Speaker 02 Is that your first telling of the story?
37:49 Adam Friedland? Um, yes. I've never actually had a story.
37:51 Speaker 02 You're close to overcoming the, the grief of the moment?
37:54 Adam Friedland? Uh, maybe I mentioned it the next week on the podcast.

42:09 Adam Friedland? Cheer up pasta cogloo.
42:11 Speaker 02 Is that what they say?
42:14 Adam Friedland? For a fat Aussie bastard and a shit football team. Can you guys, can you cut that too? Being an American, like soccer fan is the lamest thing you can be.
42:27 Speaker 02 It can be kind of cringe when.
42:29 Adam Friedland? It is the lamest kind of guy you can be.
42:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
42:31 Adam Friedland? It's like.
42:32 Speaker 02 The things that get me is like, cause in, um. In like in America, a penalty kick, they'll call it a PK.
42:40 Adam Friedland? Yeah.
42:41 Speaker 02 But in the UK, they'll just call it a pen, you know?
42:44 Adam Friedland? They'll call a counter attack like a fast break.
42:47 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:49 Adam Friedland? Which is like, I don't even care about that terminology. But like, what it is, is like, it's just like, I don't know, like, it's not B C.
42:57 Speaker 02 Yeah.
42:58 Adam Friedland? Like on an office, like email thread.
43:00 Speaker 02 Yeah.
43:01 Adam Friedland? Like, they will just send the most, like, annoying replies, like with a gif from like, of like Dwight and like, and Michael Scott, like, going like this or something. It's those guys.
43:14 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:15 Adam Friedland? It's like these Ted Lasso ass motherfuckers.
43:17 Speaker 02 Yeah, they're new on it.
43:18 Adam Friedland? They just don't know, they don't have as much, as high of a ball IQ as me.
43:24 Speaker 02 They're not getting it from the ground level as well.
43:26 Adam Friedland? I've tried going to the pub to watch, like, to the Arsenal pubs in NYC and I can't.
43:32 Speaker 02 Which one is the Arsenal?
43:33 Adam Friedland? I can't be around these people.
43:35 Speaker 02 Yeah.
43:35 Adam Friedland? There's one by my house that Spike Lee goes to.
43:39 Speaker 02 That's crazy.
43:40 Adam Friedland? But he's like.
43:40 Speaker 02 He's an Arsenal fan?
43:42 Adam Friedland? Yeah, but that, he's cursed, like, every, we're fucked. Like, every team he supports is.
43:47 Speaker 02 Arsenal does, does pretty nice at the moment.
43:51 Adam Friedland? Stop it.
43:52 Speaker 02 You got, um.
43:52 Adam Friedland? No, stop it.
43:53 Speaker 02 Well, last season, you were kind of hotter a bit. This season, I think.
43:56 Adam Friedland? We should have won the league last season.
43:57 Speaker 02 Sorry?
43:58 Adam Friedland? We should have won the league.
43:58 Speaker 02 You should have, yeah. But we lost, so you couldn't win.
44:03 Adam Friedland? Yeah, I know. So, Sun missed. Okay, no one cares about this, right? But I will say, so I've, I've tried to go to the pub and these guys are just so like cringe that I have to watch like alone. And so I have this like experience of like this team that literally just shits the bed. Every single year, and they've hurt me, every year they hurt me worse and worse. But I watch, it's a, it's a solitary, I'm like a monk.
44:28 Speaker 02 Yeah.
44:28 Adam Friedland? And like, because we get the games in the mornings, by like nine AM, my entire weekend is ruined. And I'm like a little bit hungover from the night before and I'm like, I feel terrible. And I'm like alone and my girlfriend's like, oh, your team lost. And I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean, oh, your team lost?
44:45 Speaker 02 I feel terrible.
44:45 Adam Friedland? Yeah. Just like, oh, your team lost. Like, shut up! Shut up!
44:50 Speaker 02 It does affect everything, huh?
44:51 Adam Friedland? Don't talk, like, it's, it's just like.
44:55 Adam Friedland? Just go read about a fucking, uh, fucking, uh, true crime horrific murder. Sorry, I watch sports and you have to read about like just brutal murder.
45:05 Speaker 02 But it doesn't affect them, you know, the murders don't affect them as much.
45:08 Adam Friedland? They're just reading this terrifying crap and they're like, oh my god. No, they're really reading that crap because they want to know about women whose lives are worse than theirs.
45:17 Speaker 02 Yeah.
45:17 Adam Friedland? That's really, that's really why they like true crime.
45:21 Speaker 02 Their lives are some of the worst lives.
45:23 Adam Friedland? Women, yeah, that's true. Don't get me started on this.
45:29 Adam Friedland? Don't get me started on this. No, um, but, no, but yeah, it is really horrible, but I, when I was in London, they were playing Manchester City away, but I watched.
45:39 Speaker 02 Did you go?
45:40 Adam Friedland? No, I could not get tickets.
45:42 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
45:42 Adam Friedland? But like, um, I watched it in like a pub with like all of these just absolute loser Arsenal fans. I was like finally, really, this is embarrassing and cringe to say, but I finally was like with my people. Like there was just like, and the fact that they, they blew it at the end.
45:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
45:59 Adam Friedland? You know, it's stoppage. Stoppage time.

46:41 Adam Friedland? Are you supposed to die from drugs?
46:43 Speaker 02 They're so, like, they kind of need it to sustain themselves.
46:46 Adam Friedland? They probably are being kept alive.
46:48 Speaker 02 By the cocaine.
46:49 Adam Friedland? By cheeky coke.
46:50 Speaker 02 Cheeky coke.
46:51 Adam Friedland? Cheeky bumps. Just during the day too, it was like a 3pm kickoff, they're, they're like coming back and they're like.
