Speaker 5: Something else? Can you handle this?
Speaker 2: No?

Speaker 2: Some kids out there with more seanch for president, so
Speaker 2: I might have to come and run against.
Speaker 1: This guy.
Speaker 5: Is already running for president. I'm talking about local politics.
Speaker 4: This guy's ambition, so that the mayor of Oakland is
Speaker 4: going to be currently up for recalling about twenty two days, right, Alvin,
Speaker 4: is it twenty three?
Speaker 6: Twenty four days?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: Yeah, on an election day November fifth, November fifth, Sorry,
Speaker 4: I apologize little us.
Speaker 1: And there was a little shit, a.
Speaker 4: Little poll that came out that had, hey, who would
Speaker 4: you like to see as the next mayor of Oakland?
Speaker 6: And it had like.
Speaker 4: Three or four I think, like well known or you know,
Speaker 4: assembly people, supervisors, you name it, politician types. And of
Speaker 4: course the fourth person was our partner in crime, mar Sean.
Speaker 6: Be Smode Lynch. So, Galvin, do we have the preliminary
Speaker 6: info here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's even more complicated than that, Doug.
Speaker 3: There's there was, there was, There's been extensive polling, there's
Speaker 3: been focus groups, there's been analysis, favorable ratings, unfavorable ratings.
Speaker 3: What are the key issues that will drive, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: the fate and future of Oakland and what are the
Speaker 3: people public, what are they looking for in a leader?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: And there's saying that type of making this public.
Speaker 3: Brother, I'm just you're just sharing I think everybody, you
Speaker 3: should be presparent.
Speaker 5: We all want to know, don't We want to know.
Speaker 1: The number away like that.
Speaker 5: Oh you're a little nervous.
Speaker 3: You don't like you're concerned about the unfavorability, concerned about this.
Speaker 5: See, now you're welcome to my world, Mark Shawn.
Speaker 1: This is all it's about being unfavorite.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, if I would have did what I would
Speaker 2: have did, it would have been a little different.
Speaker 1: But I listened.
Speaker 2: I listened to my counsel and ship, and I've just
Speaker 2: been sitting back cooling.
Speaker 1: You feel me? After that ship at college game day,
Speaker 1: I look at it like that. I know that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I considering they from Berkeley, but you know,
Speaker 2: probably half of them people probably living in Oakland that
Speaker 2: was at that thing.
Speaker 3: So now you're so you're a game day And that
Speaker 3: you said is that you don't want to be mayor anymore.
Speaker 5: You want to be president.
Speaker 1: Now I gotta go be president now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is like just skip it, you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: you just you're better than just they said it.
Speaker 1: Was levels to this ship. You feel me?
Speaker 2: Look they said, they said, Marshawan, it's a it's a
Speaker 2: it's an epic. Uh uh failed going on right now.
Speaker 1: We need you. We need you to I'm stepping in.
Speaker 2: I'nna be like, who is that Bernie Mack and uh
Speaker 2: Bernie Mack and Chris Rock?
Speaker 1: What's that in real life?
Speaker 5: This time?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But you remember when Bernie Mack was walking through and
Speaker 2: he was slapping the ship out of everybody. That's how
Speaker 2: I would have been coming through that. I think, slapping
Speaker 2: out of everybody. Get your ship together.
Speaker 5: This is the campaign. Huh, this is it, This is
Speaker 5: the kickoff. I'm not I'm not getting out of respect. Respect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Marshawn can't handle it, So I'm not
Speaker 3: going to give the real numbers.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be respectful.
Speaker 3: Because I appreciate that I wrung this on you, and
Speaker 3: I'm privy to.
Speaker 5: Information that has not yet come public. That's an actual fact.
Speaker 3: By the way, these are actually internal numbers, and I'm
Speaker 3: getting the comprehensive email.
Speaker 5: But I got a text message this top line. But
Speaker 5: I do think are you ready for this? Are you ready?
Speaker 5: Here's the challenge for you? Here's the challenge I'm going
Speaker 5: to start here.
Speaker 3: The challenge is people want someone that are intimately familiar
Speaker 3: with how government works and operates.
Speaker 5: The deep and quote unquote deep.
Speaker 3: And broad experience in citygun which surprises me candidly.
Speaker 5: I thought people would be looking for an outsider.
Speaker 3: Someone because we've had a lot of insiders, and that's
Speaker 3: what they're frustrated with. That said, your favorability, which this matters,
Speaker 3: you're just top line favorability is a lot of undecided,
Speaker 3: a lot of I'm sorry. There are some people just
Speaker 3: you know, they don't pay attention to you know, culture popular,
Speaker 3: you know, they don't know who.
Speaker 5: The hell you are.
Speaker 3: But forty three percent of people have a favorable opinion
Speaker 3: seven percent unfavorable. That's off the charts. Brother, that's pretty good,
Speaker 3: mark the charts. Seven percent unfavorable. It never has happened
Speaker 3: in my life. Wow, seventy percent, so forty seven and
Speaker 3: it But check this out when then they read your bio.
Speaker 3: See this is how politics works.
Speaker 5: They test your bio. They talk about that. They didn't
Speaker 5: even get into issues. This is just bio.
Speaker 3: Uh. You get up to sixty one percent favorability, Your
Speaker 3: unfavorability climbs a little bit, twenty three percent still off
Speaker 3: the chart. And that's just that's just bs bio stuff.
Speaker 3: That's not even you. That's just like some composite.
Speaker 1: I will say, who create this bio?
Speaker 5: Uh, they just do it.
Speaker 3: It probably googled you nothing, or google Marshawn Lynch Wikipedia.
Speaker 5: And they just read. They basically read top my stuff.
Speaker 5: But it's not even about issues.
Speaker 3: Here says easily the best ratio of anyone they tested
Speaker 3: on the positive and unfavorable s up, just saying I
Speaker 3: know you're running for president now, but if you decide
Speaker 3: to run for mayor, it's a hell of a place
Speaker 3: to start, mister r Yes, candidate Lynch, mister Lynch, now you're.
Speaker 2: Honorable miss mayor mode.
Speaker 4: Hey, Govin, this is this is real. I mean, this
Speaker 4: is real, Marshaan, here's the deal. Those numbers are off
Speaker 4: the chartst So Govin, what are your numbers right now?
Speaker 6: Govin? You're pretty We don't talk.
Speaker 5: About my numbers, about my age or my numbers.
Speaker 3: You don't talk about it. I got to sleep at night.
Speaker 3: You were talking about sleep, and I need to sleep
Speaker 3: at night.
Speaker 4: So Gavin, let's put together our our subcommittee, okay, and
Speaker 4: another subcommittee in terms of best mode for mayor campaign,
Speaker 4: and let's have a media and let's get things rolling.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 1: We don't want to jump the gun just yet from
Speaker 1: what I was told.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're what because you're you're looking at your
Speaker 3: now analyzing the presidential you're running for governor in two
Speaker 3: years or what do you mean you just you just
Speaker 3: looking at your options?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I got I got a good internal team,
Speaker 2: you know. I want to make sure I take this
Speaker 2: offline with my internal team and make sure this is
Speaker 2: something that we really want to do. I know this
Speaker 2: guy that could could give me up to you know,
Speaker 2: some codes and ship that he might be able to
Speaker 2: tell me that might be able to help me with
Speaker 2: this situation.
Speaker 4: But Gavin, here's the deal. Marshawn is one of the people.
Speaker 4: He truly is the people of Oakland. He knows that
Speaker 4: the north and the West and east and South Oakland
Speaker 4: better than anybody North. Well, there technically is south Sworda,
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's the north and the wests Alamia or
Speaker 4: Gavin's favorite spot, Hagenberger. That's sort of south, isn't We
Speaker 4: got Hegenberger problems.
Speaker 1: Many you stay your ass off of Hegenberger.
Speaker 5: I'm on Hagenberg all the time. I told you, I'm
Speaker 5: dealing with dealing with the crime there.
Speaker 3: But look, Marshawn here's the bottom line, doug The bottom line, Marshawn.
Speaker 3: The bottom line is your favorable unfavorables put you in
Speaker 3: a position against anyone else they pulled in the field,
Speaker 3: which is some of the biggest names in California politics
Speaker 3: from the from East Bay, meaning some well known I
Speaker 3: won't even mention the people that put you up against,
Speaker 3: but folks would.
Speaker 5: People would know.
Speaker 3: Even nationally, some former congressional folks and some folks that
Speaker 3: are household names, particularly.
Speaker 5: Are in northern California.
Speaker 3: And you have higher favorable, lower unfavorable, and your bio alone, uh,
Speaker 3: increases the favorability, and the unfavorability doesn't move that much
Speaker 3: a little bit. But uh, they don't even know where
Speaker 3: your positions are on issues. You have the opportunity, that's
Speaker 3: my point. You have the clean slate. You come in
Speaker 3: talk about you know, you know a crime agenda, you
Speaker 3: could talk about.
Speaker 5: I don't know, health. I don't know what the hell
Speaker 5: your agenda is, be protected, connected, respected, be small. I
Speaker 5: don't know you, doug.
Speaker 1: Us, Could you do that again? You couldn't say that again,
Speaker 1: could connected? I'll see you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I remember when my first election it says
Speaker 3: he gets it he gets it done.
Speaker 5: He gets it. I always like that. He gets it,
Speaker 5: he gets it done. Some people get it. They never
Speaker 5: get anything.
Speaker 3: Done, and then you know care not ash. There was
Speaker 3: another a lot. You gotta have a brand, I mean
Speaker 3: the B smoke brand. You gotta There's some alliteration there,
Speaker 3: so there's some opportunity anyway, good numbers. Uh, you're gonna
Speaker 3: know it in less than a month. If the mayor's recalled.
Speaker 3: I'm not pro recalls generally, so having been on the
Speaker 3: receiving end of them.
Speaker 5: So that's not my space.
Speaker 6: She's as good here to judge.
Speaker 1: That you didn't didn't you didn't been in that situation
Speaker 1: a few times.
Speaker 3: I'm not here to judge. But that's up to people open.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you put some ship out like this,
Speaker 1: they're gonna for show. Try it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what it could be said.
Speaker 2: But you you keep on talking ship like that and
Speaker 2: you put this out, the people are opened AND's gonna speak.
Speaker 4: When we want to cut her first commercials, we cut
Speaker 4: her first commercial.
Speaker 1: Next week, commercials and damn.
Speaker 4: We'll get we'll get like a grassroots campaign going, but
Speaker 4: we're gonna go hardcore commercials.
Speaker 5: Commercials that ESPN would be a good commercial. That's how
Speaker 5: I'd start, just with that energy. When Marshaun comes in,
Speaker 5: Doug just so and this is this is the people speaking.
Speaker 3: All that energy, vibrancy. That's different, that's that's the kind
Speaker 3: of that's how you want to launch it.
Speaker 4: We can show the plane coming down onto the golf
Speaker 4: court and says the prodigal Sun comes to save and.
Speaker 5: He's handing things out. He's giving giving back all those skittles.
Speaker 6: See, he's already the day.
Speaker 5: He's not asking for anything, he's offering something.
Speaker 2: So why y'all, why y'all got to make this a
Speaker 2: joke while y'all can't be serious, No, y'all can't be
Speaker 2: really giving meios serious.
Speaker 5: I'm giving you the polling data.
Speaker 1: Stop sting people. Stop showing proof for that.
Speaker 2: Just literally true, you know what I mean. Stop showing
Speaker 2: proof of that. We got to keep that ship under wraps.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: Look it's a beef. Come fucking with you, dad. You
Speaker 2: got people running up on me and ship ready to
Speaker 2: knock my head off the ship.
Speaker 3: But I'm walking to politics. You want to see your
Speaker 3: unfavorabilities go up, Stay.
Speaker 1: Out of the difference.
Speaker 2: Is you know sometimes like I react to this ship
Speaker 2: because I like, I don't see myself as I never
Speaker 2: put myself in that position like oh, you're a celebrity
Speaker 2: or you famous or whatever the fuck that shit is.
Speaker 2: I've never viewed myself as that type of individual. So
Speaker 2: when you had these people that come and just come
Speaker 2: up to you and they put their hands on you,
Speaker 2: I react like a civilian.
Speaker 1: Are you doing? I don't even why am I laughing
Speaker 1: at that?
Speaker 5: I don't I shouldn't laugh at that. I mean, that's God.
Speaker 1: I've been telling you that.
Speaker 6: People didn't touch more Sean.
Speaker 5: They like to touch them.
Speaker 6: It's weird.
Speaker 4: No one touches you guys. Do they didn't touch more
Speaker 4: Shan's weird?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Man, So you know, but real talk though, like that
Speaker 2: ship is big though, Like I mean, you know, just
Speaker 2: talking to I was talking a headache, telling them that
Speaker 2: it might be a possibility, because you know, that's one
Speaker 2: of the I mean still to this day, that's still
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, the smartest person I know, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, how you gotta do it? He like, well, shit,
Speaker 2: just why look how Gavin had he like, because everything
Speaker 2: that you would probably.
Speaker 1: Want to do, Gavin is doing it. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean.
Speaker 2: He's like, motherfucker, he run a fucking podcast with you,
Speaker 2: and he running the fucking state O here.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, everything that I would need to be
Speaker 2: successful in this opportunity is right here in front of me.
Speaker 2: So if I fail, then I'm gonna just blame it
Speaker 2: on Gavin, like blame everything else.
Speaker 5: Thank you, motherfucker. That's exactly right. Everything else.
Speaker 1: It ain't no pressure, no pressure,
