- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- FTX.
- That FTX thing is crazy,
because so many people were spokespeople for it.
- Is that the one where Tom Brady
broke up his marriage?
- Tom Brady's having a rough fucking--
- That didn't break up his marriage.
- Oh, I bet that was it.
You can quote me on that.
- He quote you on that?
- I'm telling you, she was like,
"Oh, we better split ties right now there, Tommy."
'Cause it's about to get ugly.
- Who's the Fortune Favors the Bold?
Who's that?
- Huh?
- That was- - Oscar Wilde.
- Matt Damon, for which Bitcoin?
- Who cares?
- I forget.
- Which what?
- Crypto.
- Fortune Favors the Bold.
He told us people to put their money in it.
- Oh, it's a crypto fucking arena.
- Fortune Feimster.
- I think they own the Staples Center now.
- When he was comparing it to people going to the moon,
and I'm like, "Bro."
- They don't own it, they named it, they don't own it.
- Well, of course.
- They were talking about--
- Thank you, Jamie.
- Jamie, correct me real quick for you.
- Is that one?
- What did you say?
- I said they don't own it.
- We can't have three different conversations going on, kids.
When they were talking about--
- Somebody say kids?
- He was doing that commercial
where he was comparing it to space travel.
- Yeah.
- Talking about innovators, groundbreakers.
Look at this.
- Telling all these fucking barely-making people
that throw all the money in this.
- By the way, I'm a big Matt Damon fan.
- Who almost adventured, who almost achieved,
but ultimately, for them it proved to be too much.
- He's telling regular people to be Galileo.
- Yeah.
- Look at these fucking losers.
- We're talking about people who embrace the moment.
That guy's not gonna embrace the moment.
That guy's a crazy fuck climbing a glacier.
That's not smart.
- This is cheesy.
- The Wright brothers.
- It's funny, those guys invented flight and climbed them out
and they're like, look at these gay guys.
These guys just kissed.
That was also pretty brave if you think about it.
- Wasn't it?
- It's true.
- Four simple words that have been whispered
by the intrepid since the time of the Romans.
Fortune favors the brave.
- It's not really braved by crypto.
- Well, it is now.
I guess now it is.
- Yeah.
- When something like that FTX thing goes down
where you watch billions of dollars just disappear.
Yeah.
- I lost a fortune.
- Fortune favors the brave.
Is that what you were doing there with that?
- Well, I'm just saying I lost a lot of money.
- Did you lose a lot of money?
- Yeah.
- You really did put money in crypto?
- I did.
I'm trying to tell you.
- Oh, I thought you were joking.
- No, no.
I lost a ton.
- How much?
- I don't want to get into numbers here.
It's being impolite.
- How much?
- But enough to disturb you.
- That was the first time I checked.
I lost like 15 grand in the tens of thousands.
- Yeah.
I thought it was the right thing to do.
I saw the commercial.
- I was never going to take it out of there either.
- So people are suing Larry David, right?
He was just in a commercial.
- Because he did a commercial for them.
They're suing, there's a class action lawsuit.
I think it involves, find out what it does.
- Tom Brady, Larry David.
- They're saying, why'd you tell us to do this?
- I don't know that it's gone through yet.
I think they've talked about it.
- So some people are saying,
but then there's also the people that are like,
where's my money?
- Yeah.
- And then this guy is just going to go to some New York Times
thing that they're doing this week, right?
Wasn't it?
- There you go.
- Yeah.
They've got some New York Times thing
where people are speaking.
- Yeah.
- And he's going to go up there, hey, I fucked up.
- Hey, everyone.
- Don't do that.
In the end, you shouldn't do that.
- Oh, my bad.
- It's live?
- Yeah, he's on right now.
- Whoa!
- He's on right now?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- You know, margin positions opened with that.
- It's probably going to be very boring.
- Oh, let it go.
Let it go.
- ...of that over to FTX this year when they shut down.
- This guy's a weirdo.
- And that means, you know,
I think it was over collateralized positions,
but positions that involve substantial size
and substantial U.S. dollar size.
- What the fuck, dude?
- This is nuts.
- It's like Oz.
- It's like the fucking guy back there.
- Right.
- I don't like it.
- Don't look past the curtain.
- I think there is a substantial discrepancy between...
- Couldn't get this guy a better plant?
- All right, put the headphones on so you can hear this guy.
- All right, I don't want to hear him.
- No, it's bizarre.
- Jewish, yay or nay?
- What?
- Could be.
- I would go yay.
- What are you talking about?
What's his name?
- Fried.
- Fried.
- Fried.
- Yeah, 100%.
- He balled out.
- He's got a real bird's nest on him, huh?
- Jealous.
- But when you would agree...
- Yeah, Mulaney.
- Look at him shaking.
- I think he just shakes.
- Of FTX, International...
- Bro, he's tricky.
- Than previously understood.
- Yeah, look at the pupils are huge.
- Yeah, I mean, given the size of the position,
I think it was...
- Like a doll's eyes.
- It's not in intention, it was, in effect,
tied together substantially more than I would have ever wanted it to be.
- This is weird.
- Keep going.
- We got to be the only guy watching.
- I don't even understand.
- We got to be the only people watching.
- All right, bro, bro, keep going.
- This is the future.
- This obviously came from the...
- I'm just studying him.
- That's where it started that way.
- Oh.
- And the same original people, but most of the remaining nexuses, you said,
have dropped off.
- Nexuses?
- Yep.
- I know the people from Alameda decently well, almost as if you don't know
what's happening
there.
And there isn't like a large amount, you know, of ways remain that we are
actively working
together.
Anything like that, Alameda is a wholly separate entity.
They're different offices, like different principal offices.
We don't have any shared personnel.
We're also not the same company.
We're not all under the same corporate umbrella or anything like that.
And yet it seems like Alameda people were living in the same penthouse where
you may very well
be right now.
- I guess it seems that way, doesn't it, asshole?
- Yeah, right.
- Um, I, most of Alameda was not, uh, was not there.
Uh, I don't live there now, but, uh, or not there now.
I have not, uh, lived there, but you know, I did live with, with, with, uh, one
or two
members of Alameda for a little while.
Um, and I'll also say that, you know, as I was, you know, earlier this summer
looking at
the relationship, and this is-
- What a dweeb!
- Well, I think he's, I think he's, he's dwee-autistic.
- Ah!
- I can't recognize my own.
- And so when I was looking at-
- You're like a beta fish?
- You're like, "Fuck this guy!"
- Swiping on him like a cat?
- That had fallen off from something like 35% in 2019 to something like 2% this
year.
But in terms of positions and balances-
- We lost Rogan.
- We lost Rogan.
- This is so strange.
- I don't even know what he's talking about.
I don't know what he is.
- I don't know what he is.
- I, I'm just studying his mannerisms.
- Yeah, he's tweaking out like Hitler at those fucking games.
- 100% tweaking out.
- Yes.
- That's a lot of pressure.
- That guy's very under pressure, also, he's tweaking-
- He's tweaking from that for sure.
Imagine, billions of dollars-
- That was live?
- Gone, yeah.
- That's live, dude, he's getting-
- Billions, billions of dollars.
- Are just gone?
- And, you know, they're, they've got like all these tweets and shit,
different things that they've said,
and different statements that he said about his company that just seemed to be
untrue.
- Live updates of the stuff he was saying during it, too.
- Ugh.
- But the thing that he was just discussing there was this, another company
called Alameda,
and apparently they gave, they'd moved $10 billion over to Alameda,
and they don't know, like, how that was done or what it was done,
but it was like a company that was connected to them.
- Ah.
- And initially, he lied about it and said he didn't work with those people,
and they were all banging each other.
- Whoa.
- They were in, they were in, they were in, they were in, they were in.
- I was like, "I don't know them."
- They were fucking that guy?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But hey, you guys should take all this money so that it'll be cool.
- Yeah, he needed.
- Hey, that was last week.
- They were fucking that guy?
- No, he's gone.
Yeah, they had, he lived in a house with like 10 people.
They were all banging each other.
- Influencer house?
- Every time.
- For real?
- And they were all doing amphetamines.
This lady who was one of them was on, she wrote on Twitter,
this was like one of the top people at his company,
wrote on Twitter that after you, what was the exact quote?
- I talked about it yesterday, find out, find her exact,
I don't want to paraphrase 'cause I'm high.
- You know you're on shrooms when the screen is all flunky.
- I feel like I watch things and they're not even there.
- I can just picture things happening on that screen, man.
- So he's gonna fry, he's gone down.
- It looks like fried is fucked.
- Damn.
- Yeah, it looks like he's fucked.
The way-- - That wasn't great.
- That didn't look good. - No.
- I didn't understand one word, I don't remember one word.
- Freed rather is fucked.
Nothing like regular amphetamine used to make you appreciate
how dumb a lot of normal, non-medicated human experience is.
This is in April of 2021, and this is like--
- I thought that's your reaction to what we just saw.
- She was one of the top dogs over there.
She was one of the top people over there,
and they were all banging each other.
- Every time.
Like clockwork. - On speed,
banging each other, making billions of fake money.
- What'd they do, figure out a way to take the money
away from the people?
- I don't know what happened, man, but--
- Whoa, it's like Wilt Chamberlain's.
- They lived in a $40 million penthouse,
and now it's listed for sale.
- All those dorks were fucking in this place.
- They were fucking--
- Those dorks were on that fucking in there.
- Bro, they thought they were in a movie.
- That was fucking great, bro.
- They thought they were in a movie.
- They were.
- They're on amphetamines. - We should have all the money.
- They're banging.
- Good for them.
- Yeah, but they know how those movies end.
- They're pushing half-sob dicks into each other.
- Oh shit, there's a dog in here.
- Hey, Bandit, what does it smell like?
- But listen, part of me's rooting for them.
Part of me is like, I wish they weren't stealing money.
I wish it wasn't a Ponzi scheme.
- Let me get some more mushrooms.
- Yeah, man.
- I wish, because if it wasn't a Ponzi scheme--
- Don't go up.
- Easy.
It's funny how that guy--
- If it wasn't a Ponzi scheme, it would be nice to be off there.
- It'd be amazing to see that they succeed,
and they go over there, and they start making all this money.
They're balling out of control.
- If it wasn't a Ponzi, he wouldn't succeed.
So it's a chicken or the egg, but that guy either goes school shooter or crypto.
