505 - Andrew Tate, A Socialist Makeover, & The Demise Of Red Robin

These Tate brothers can't catch a break, these guys, huh? You know, I met them in Romania.

I interviewed them on the Patreon, and this was years ago, and they were lovely, and they took me to a steakhouse.

I was in Romania to do a gig, to do a gig for some, uh, Bitcoin guy who had lots of money, who paid me a lot of money to go out there and do comedy in Bucharest, Romania, for a group of people that could barely speak English.

And they liked me and saw me and wanted me to go, and it was a very challenging...

I did it in some, like, weird restaurant, event venue, and I did about 25 minutes, and it was barely understood.

And I think one of the guys stood up and was like, "Joe Rogan! Joe Rogan!" So I think he saw me on Joe's show.

And I was there, and I hit up the Tates, and I said, "You know, you have any recs, any recommendations?" And they go, "We know who, exactly who you are.

We'll pick you up from the airport." And they did, and they came in their Rolls-Royces, and they truly were...

Now, I know they're accused of rape and human trafficking, whatever, but let me just say my piece first, and then I'll get to that.

I'll get to that.

They were truly lovely.

We had a lovely meal.

We went to their home.

We, we did a podcast.

They were, they were lovely people.

Uh, do I...

Can I, like...

Am I, like, saying they're, uh, pure of spirit? I don't know.

I'm just saying my personal experience with them.

Uh, they're accused of choking women, sometimes until they passed out, then raping them.

Again, not good.

That's from The New York Times, my producer highlighting that.

I understand that.

I, I'm getting to that, and I appreciate you highlighting that as I talk about how lovely our dinner was.

Thank you very much for doing that.
