And so I'm just curious, man, what's real life as compared to the internet when it comes to these two stories at Barstool?
3:44
So I think there's multiple sides here.
3:50
When you think of New York and you're not in New York and you think of the crazy New York, which it is, like, if you go outside, it's a crazy city, as you know well, you've been here multiple times this year, but there's still a lot of normal people.
4:07
And why I say normal, I say, you go, there's probably, there's hundreds of bars on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday night that are packed, and the conversation at these bars aren't people yelling at each other about Shane Gillis or Cornell Seven or Trump this, Trump that, Kathy Hochul that.
4:28
Now, there may be a b- a different baseline, though, because if you go too deep, there are kind of things in the back of your head, it's like, oh, you don't wanna bring that up.
4:40
At Barstool, I would say it is...
4:45
It's kinda tough to compare because it's an environment that has people in it that are already like, we're debaters in our own way.

Yeah
39:08
that carry that brand, Jack, it may
39:11
use that word.
39:12
Because what I was thinking was there are times where I'll watch a clip of somebody that's labeled right wing nationalist and somebody that nobody should ever associate with.
39:25
And I'm like, I don't know if I can decipher this story.
39:29
from what i see from a clip from hassan piker the similarities are 90 there are the differences kind of like what you pointed out um mainly immigration immigration social uh aspects not socialism as a whole but like social aspects uh lgbtq the main stuff that we all know but Sometimes I'll listen.
39:56
I'm like, I mean, I also think there's a little bit of an aspect here is this is the – and maybe this was always the point, but people are live and they'll do these streams and they'll talk and they'll have to do content.
40:11
They have to do content all the time.

Socialist.
33:01
Yeah, beautiful
33:01
...
33:02
Iceland, Icelandic Highlands.
33:04
But I didn't wanna go the generic F road route, so I made this kind of complicated zigzag across the highlands, and there was a lot of river crossings on that route, and I was three problems right off the bat.
33:14
It was too early in the season.
33:17
They had exceptionally high temperatures, so you had a lot of snow melt, and you also had heavy rain as well, so they'd had this combination.
33:24
So from the beginning, I was underprepared.

55:33
How did you get there?
4:22
[laughs]
4:22
... of the internet that's getting mad at the original comment.
4:24
It's like, oh, it's a domino effect.
4:27
Um, I saw a tweet from somebody that had, like, a, a, a sickle and hammer saying, like, "We are going to, uh, we are going to... or we're digging your grave first," almost implying when they get away from the internet, um, and get off of their butt and do the Viva La Res- uh, Revolution on, they, he is going to kill Kevin O'Leary first and, and put him in the grave first.
4:54
I think it's a fair point.
4:56
If you're making $70,000 a year, maybe, maybe you gotta get a $10 burrito instead of $28.
5:02
I also saw a tweet from somebody that said, "This is ridiculous and coming from a place of privilege." And then she replied, dead serious, saying, "I deserve a Caesar salad with smoked salmon for lunch every day."

If that fight, if that fight happened in the next year, who's the favorite? Is it gotta be Jon Jones?
