However, I was at Eastern Conference game Eastern Conference finals game one when they beat came back from the 22-point deficit. And uh I was cheering so hard I almost like broke the the people next to me's necks. Like I was just [ __ ] >> You were holding them.

>> No, no, no. I had no desire to go. I was like I [ __ ] we we ride this out. Um but people were leaving and I was like and you know we were I was in the stands like I wasn't saying it out loud but I was talking to the people next to me. I was like, "Too much rest." The rest there's the too much time off between this game and you know like cuz they look asleep the they looked asleep the first three quarters and then something happened. Mitch hit like or missed like one hit one of two free throws and from that point on it was like Brunson came alive and and everyone started delivering like crazy.
Brunson had like 15 points or something in the third fourth quarter.
I don't know. I I was uh going to go to sleep.
>> It was >> We were down 22 >> and then I slowly like I just heard my neighbors >> Mhm.
>> yell.
>> What the [ __ ] >> And I woke up and I was like, "Oh, this is uh" >> they [ __ ] came back.

>> Knicks fans have definitely gotten a lot more passionate over the years.
>> Yeah, I feel like they weren't this passionate back in the day. I'm not a diehard Knicks fan either. Um, but it's been cool to be part of the the magic of just like this is [ __ ] nuts.

>> I think it's awesome.
>> What kind of life are you living? You know, >> everyone that I know that has that kind of knowledge in their head seems pretty chill.

Just like the random dude. Like if Sam did not get where he's at, but he's been that dieh hard Knicks fan.
>> Sam knows everything about the Knicks.

I think it's like a I think it's like a wink wink situation. You know what I mean? I think he's like, "I didn't do it. Wink >> and I'm going to beat the system and get like kind of like a reverse OJ."
>> Uh-huh. you know, we like him, >> but like with OJ, we were like, "No, this guy should go to jail."

>> Yeah, but um you know it's not a scam.
>> What?
>> Our new stable coin. No, sorry.
>> Gucci turbin.
>> Gucci turban coin.
>> Gucci coin.
>> We should look into that. I think I think we've been dancing around for a while. We'll never >> You don't think so?
>> No. Look, Indian guy courtside at the Cavs.
>> Oh, there's mad Indians in Ohio.
>> Oh, yeah. But that guy's a Knicks fan.
>> Yeah.
>> Was that your Is that >> No.
>> I wouldn't put it past him to go. But >> I mean, if I had that much money, I would stop working.
>> If I was as rich as this guy, excuse me.
Does he have private jet money, you think?
>> Yes.
>> Oh, then I'm done. Why would I ever work?
>> Because you like it.
>> Yeah. I mean, >> that's crazy. That's preposterous.
>> Yeah. But like But like But like you have a kid.
>> Oh, you like work. you if you have a kid.
>> Oh, well, you are a creative person.
>> If you have a kid and you can't just like gallivant the world, you got to be rooted at home, what else are you going to do?
>> Chill.
>> Yeah, but like chilling to them is like reading and then being like, "Ah, I made some money."
>> That might be chill to them.
>> Yeah. I mean, if you don't have to put up with people and you got a lifestyle job that makes you >> Yeah. But like they do have a lifestyle job at some point. At some point they your lifestyle is just like telling other people what to do.
>> I do I did meet a guy who like told me he was a distress debt trader.
>> Oh wow.
>> And I was like what the [ __ ] does that mean? Like how I was like how do you get like access to distress debt and his legit strategy is >> that he every time a company fails or goes bankrupt, >> he goes on LinkedIn and he hits up all the employees at that company >> says, "Do you have shares you could sell?" Mhm.
>> And he buys shares from them and he packages them packages them up >> and he's or tries to arbitrage them.
>> That's his whole job.
>> That's pretty sick.
>> Yeah. And he just chills at home.
>> Mhm.
>> Hangs out all day.
>> Waits for a bankruptcy call.
>> Wait wait wait waits for a bankruptcy when he reads the news. Springs to action.
Makes a bunch of money and uh and then he just goes about his day. Then he like works like one or two days out.
>> Why can't you just automate that?
>> I'm sure he could automate it. But >> you could automate that so easily.
It's just like >> I just gave away his this guy's entire hustle on our podcast.
>> This is financial advice.
>> This is this is not financial advice.
>> Yeah. Well, you can't put any of this out.
>> Well, can we not? It's fine.
>> You want to give this guys a hustle up?
>> Yeah. He's not the only one.
>> He's rich as [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] >> Yeah, he's probably like, "Yeah, go ahead. Do it." Yeah, >> you're right. He's He's mad rich, dude.
I don't like Yeah, I don't give a [ __ ] He cuts you down a peg. That's how I take it. Actually, >> I thought maybe you knew this guy like he's your boy or something.
>> He is my boy.
>> I thought you just said you just met randomly met this dude at a work event or something. And I know this guy, you know, in like my my orbit of uh tech uh like business people that like he's just a dude and I'm like, "Oh, >> that's your game."
>> That's pretty good hustle, dude.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. I'm going to do that, too.
>> Watch for those bankruptcies.
>> Yeah, why not? Really, that that first step is easy. It's really like knowing who to talk to to package everything to then it's probably just some other banker.
>> It's some other banker. Yeah, >> it's 100% some other banker. Like that's how the value of having a network when you work in finance like you're hedge fun guy. You just kind of know people where you could if you raise money you could do something with it. It's kind of crazy.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's not that crazy. It's it's it's like it's crazy the thing was just access and it's nothing special about these people and yet they make so much more money than everybody else just knowing people >> Mhm.
>> and knowing each other >> and knowing what to do.
>> Yeah.
Just got to know what to do. But yeah, those people they if they love to do that, they just do that.
You know, if your buzz is like, man, I'm just going to make a [ __ ] ton of money today and then drive my Porsche around. like >> that is that is just chilling.
I'm just going to go to the beach for like a [ __ ] and like if you if you didn't need to work all the time but you could work whenever you wanted.
>> That sounds pretty good.
>> That's probably what they do. That's what they do.
And they just enjoy working all the time because realistically like your kids are still at school. They can't be uprooted constantly. So, you can't just like travel everywhere, like read books. But maybe they just like reading stuff that then turns it into money.
>> I think we should definitely start this stable coin.
>> I think we should um lock the doors at this event and go on just [ __ ] ask for money.
Just start pickpocketing people.
If you notice, your wallet's gone. Um, it was me. I did it. Just here to rob everybody.
>> There's a guy feeling everybody up and it's it's a pickpocket.
>> Mhm.
>> Um, it sounds fun. Do you do like Do you do your whole set when you do a >> I'm doing like 15 minutes, 20 minutes.
So, I'm just gonna I'm going to do like a bunch of very specific stuff to them in the room and then some stuff from my own set that I think they'll relate to like uh the Saudi jokes.
>> Yeah.
>> And uh um >> Wait, does this guy do business in Saudi Arabia?
>> No, but finance people love Saudi Arabia.
>> Saudi puts a lot of money to work >> Mhm.
>> in America. It's crazy.
>> Um, but also it's like I don't know if this crowd's going to be uh pro them or anything like that, but they'll definitely understand the references.
You know what I mean?
>> Yeah.
>> So, we'll see. And then I could just always go into religious stuff.
>> Just read the room.
>> Yes. Anyway, speaking of um drugs, did you watch the enhanced games?
I I >> didn't even know they existed.
>> I didn't even know they existed.
>> This is the steroid Olympics. It just happened last night in Vegas of all places.
>> It's just like they had how many sports did they have?
>> Okay. I don't know all the answers.
Let's Let's break this down. Let's break this down. We're just asking GBT or Claude.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. So, we're trusting Claude here. I don't know if all this this is not verified. How many events did the enhanced games have and how many >> athletes competed? Okay. Happened yesterday. Seven events across four disciplines. Swimming, track, weightlifting, >> strongman exhibition, aka deadlift.
>> Just four.
>> Yeah. They can't probably couldn't get funding for a whole They can't go like all Olympic style >> swimming. the guy who didn't do steroids one >> and sprinting. Two sprinters.
>> Oh boy.
>> That's cuz I mean people just don't understand steroids. Like steroids are they don't work on everybody and at that elite level >> Mhm.
>> like technique is always going to like is going to be a thing.
>> Mhm.
>> Like some [ __ ] is just god-given, man.
Like LeBron >> Mhm. You can't make steroids. Like steroids will never turn you into that.
>> You want to take that bet? I'm going to take steroids.
>> I'm What if next week you came in, I was 6'8?
>> I don't think that's how they work, bro.
>> Nah, this [ __ ] I got makes you tall.
>> Sit there just be jacked. Like I've I've actually I actually know people who've tried it and have made no change to their bodies. Yeah, this is >> Oh, man.
>> That's like back in the day when I had uh Phil Provenio, I think, put my face on Kale's body.
>> You did it. It looks pretty good.
>> Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, >> the skin tone's a little off.
>> It's just a slight, >> but like people people believed it.
>> Quick glance. Really?
>> Like like they it was like people were like that's almost believable. That that's ridiculous.
That's so [ __ ] preposterous. Oh, steroids.
>> Yeah, it looks awesome.
You can see the There was definitely Photoshop on his whole body.
>> Oh, this one. This picture. Yeah. I mean, this picture he also probably like >> didn't have any water.
>> Who cares?
>> For like four weeks or some [ __ ] >> Steroids.
>> I just realized I don't care about this >> steroids.
bad >> enhanced games. Like if there was a non um super detrimental to your body version of steroids, would you take it?
Like they they destroy your like hormones and stuff, right?
>> Yeah. They like if once you take steroids like it gives you more testosterone, >> but would you take it if uh if they didn't destroy your body? Like like cuz regular steroids once you use them and get on a cycle, you have to use them forever because your body stops producing testosterone on its own.
>> Okay.
>> And you're saying if there was something that just kept me like gave me extra like gave me all the benefits with none of the drawbacks. Would I take it?
>> Yes.
>> I mean probably >> 1,000% yes.
>> Yeah. I mean there's no drawbacks and my life goes just the way it would. Like that's a miracle drug.
>> But the thing is steroids [ __ ] you up.
>> And uh >> what's the closest thing they have to miracle drug right now?
>> Ompicaro, >> but there's no long-term but there's no long-term.
>> I mean, we were going to find out what happens. Al Roker. Maybe he's going to turn radioactive or some [ __ ] >> But Al Roker is already close to death.
>> Is he?
>> I don't know. He's probably like 65 70.
He's closer to >> 71. But I mean, they're keeping Al Roker, you know, they'll keep him going.
>> Yeah.
>> The OMICS or the >> Yeah, the Ompic. I mean, like it's, you know, it's like how they keep Trump going, you know, >> Illuminati. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> They're like Trump's in very poor health, but they and and even Biden Biden was like basically [ __ ] dying up there and they just they keep presidents going somehow.
>> And you know, that's the what Al Roker's got too.
>> Yeah. I guess technique doesn't matter as much in the the lifting, huh? I mean, I'm sure it does.
>> No, it definitely does.
>> But it does. It's just these guys have been lifting forever >> versus swimming.
>> Yeah. Versus swimming, for sure. Cuz these guys also have been lifting forever. They're also like good at >> Yeah.
>> this. It's just when you give roids, >> they just >> Well, how much weight is that?
>> One, two.
>> Really? The the problem is like The problem is is that there's no before of these guys.
>> The enhanced game should been like a long-term study of like before steroids, how much they lifted and then after steroids. I think it's have like a measurable impact of steroids.
>> I think they know. I mean, these guys have been especially in weightlifting, like you know what you're doing before, cuz with steroids, you have to before you take steroids, you have to work your way all the way up to the top first.
>> Mhm.
>> You can't just like take them and then just People do, but at this level, like you have to already be pushed yourself to the max and then use steroids to go further.
>> Uh-huh.
I wonder if that's how these guys did it.
>> It definitely is.
>> Bodhi Sandavi.
>> It definitely is.
>> From Canada.
>> Whoa.
That's too much weight. Did he say that?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So, he he He couldn't bring it back up.
>> He had to bring his legs back up, but he couldn't.

He goes to the bathroom and and then walks around for a second, goes back into his Bentley, and I'm like, "Who is that?" And I think the um McDonald's that I was at was like, "Oh, that's the guy that owns like 30 of these rest stops."
>> Oh. Oh, yeah. And like that's a franchise you want to get into. Rest McDonald's.
>> Yeah, dude. If you can even buy those.

>> Yeah.
>> Which I find pretty interesting.
>> Just a money printing machine, man.
