I have no problem 5 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: with that. My other blackfession I'd like to make is 6 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: that I'm really not that good at spades. I need 7 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: a reminder every time we start playing. Like I know 8 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: how to play, but I can just look at my 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: hand and already know how many books I got in 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: which order to play them.

First of all, shout 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: out my tour manager who we haven't hung out in 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: a while because I ain't been on tour.

I remember calmly that man didn't 31 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: even look up at me. He was like, now you're 32 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: in trouble. I was like, what, bro, I'm about to 33 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: dim like four bones away from dominoing. He was like, 34 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: now I know what you have in your hand. That 35 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: pause was like the old crap, Like, when you playing 36 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: with somebody that really know how to play, you just 37 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: never damn you never know your systems start to fail you. 38 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: But I tell you what, one of the most frustrating 39 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: things when you playing dominoes or spades is playing with 40 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: somebody that don't know how to play, because they be 41 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: all over the place, and every once in a while 42 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: they look at you and go twenty five and it 43 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 2: really be twenty five, and you got there super willy nilly, 44 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: you worried. 45 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: About all your strategies. 46 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: Now, at the end of the day, they not gonna 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: really win many hands, because eventually they gonna figure out 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: how to play and realize that, like you know, this 49 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: jungle ball they playing is not sustainable. But it may 50 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: have got them through a few rounds, didn't they start 51 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: feeling themselves. But as you trying to figure out their strategy, 52 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: you might learn eventually they don't have a strategy. They 53 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 2: just playing what's in their hand, and hopefully they got 54 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: sense enough to understand that this is not sustainable. 55 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Tap in with me, y'all all right, I. 56 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: Am, of course talking about the policies of Donald Trump. 57 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. 58 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: I think us nerds who are terminally online, who try 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: to understand policy politics and then teach it to other 60 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: people and try to get an understanding as to what 61 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: these moves are it, I think it's driving us bonkers 62 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: and even turning his team into pretzels. I cite the 63 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: frustrations that his whole base is having about him being 64 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: an isolationist him, you know, doing the tariffs thing, the 65 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: taco all of the things. The frustration with Eli all 66 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: of it is because y'all think he's you're trying to 67 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: decipher a strategy. And what I think this man has 68 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: made very clear, whether it's people who have written books later, 69 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: whether it's people who know him personally, whether it's people 70 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: who have been in the ORB fallen out, or it's 71 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: people like Pat Bondi's head ass trying to stand in 72 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: front of the people and make a case for the 73 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: decisions that she has overseen. You're trying to decipher a strategy. 74 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: This man has made it very clear he don't got 75 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: a strategy. The man plays off vibes and instincts. He 76 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: even told you that. 77 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Now. 78 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: The thing about playing off vibes and instincts is the 79 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: broken clock thing. Every once in a while you're gonna 80 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 2: land on a win. But the strength of what he 81 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: does is he becomes like my homeboy, Dereck Minor. Now, 82 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: Derek Miner and Donald Trump are not the same person. 83 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is 84 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: Derek Minor is a trash talkologist. Please, if you know 85 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: Derek Minor, send him this episode. Because when boy Boy, 86 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: I taught boy Boy how to play Domino's, and when 87 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: I tell you the first time he got out, the 88 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: first house and was winning. He was talking trash like 89 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: he was Michael Jordan. This man his shut up way. 90 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: He lose it, but he has a way of morphing 91 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: reality into believing that he the expert. 92 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: Right, this is Trump's gift. 93 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: He's slipping fall and say I meant to do that. 94 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: That's what I was doing the whole time. I truly 95 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: and deeply based on my understanding of bullies. The very 96 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: foundation as to why I think I should have a 97 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: podcast in the vein that we have this podcast is that. 98 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: I know dudes like this. 99 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: They have no ethos other than I got to get minds. 100 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: How I gets minds. I'm gonna make up as I 101 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 2: go along. We A is not playing no long games. 102 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: This is not an evil genius. This shit is transactional. Okay, 103 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: either you for me or against me. I find nerds 104 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: and put nerds around me to figure out how to 105 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: do the shit. And I might call him in the 106 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: middle of the night and say, this is what I 107 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: want to do. That's not my job to figure out 108 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: how to do it. That's what you hired for. The 109 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: tariffs thing is because of Peter Navarro. He got a ethos. 110 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: He thinks that this will work. You just convinced boy boy, 111 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: and it sounded good to him. Why he being taco 112 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: about it is because it's vibes. He liked the adrenaline 113 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: of winning. I like getting into the room. I'm talking 114 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: about Trump. Trump like getting into the room and willing 115 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: and Dylan. He liked to feel himself. He want to 116 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: feel like he wants something. This why the Putin shit 117 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: is frustrating him. 118 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: The whole earth. 119 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: Been telling you that Vladimir is playing you.
