Transcript
- Mark Hayes (00:01.262) All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Another exciting edition of Two Men in Black and White and Honest Conversation. All right, I'm joined by my partner in crime, Brock and Ellis, from the beautiful confines of the Upper Hudson River Valley, just outside New York City. All right, Brock, here we go. Let's list it. FIFA, crowd size, dead. Freedom 250, dead. Reflecting Pool by the White House on the mall, dead. Everything Trump touches dies. let's take them in order of importance. World Cup, tourism. What is it about tourism that MAGA doesn't understand? anytime you have a guy with two first names in charge of anything, it's gonna be a struggle. So this Mark Wayne Mullen kid is out here running around with an associate's degree trying to tell the rest of us who actually matriculated at a four year institution. that he knows better. it's ridiculous what they're doing and what they're saying. Brock Ganeles (01:08.254) 2025, United States was the only major economy in the world that had a decline in their tourism revenues. Every other country had an increase. In general, people are traveling more. They're wealthier around the world. People get discretionary income. They want to see other cultures. They actually have a curiosity about it. And particularly they want to come to America. They want to go to LA, Miami, New York, Chicago, all crit Grand Canyon, you name it. They didn't c decline last year. And it's even been in free fall here in 2026. The World Cup was supposed to be a big, big driver for pr particularly for the cities that were hosting. And now it looks like the cities that are hosting may actually lose money on the hosting of the World Cup because the flights got expensive, cause the the the the fuel costs went nuts, and we've been so unwelcoming that I mean, by the way, the World Cup. Mark Hayes (01:47.63) Mm-hmm. Mark Hayes (02:02.775) Yes. Brock Ganeles (02:06.984) Half the teams are people of color, be it Asian, African, Latin and Central American. That's who that's at least half the teams, the rest are Europe. Mark Hayes (02:15.726) Я Mark Hayes (02:19.414) Yep. And and Bra, you know, the sad thing about it is like people, entrepreneurs in all these cities, all these host cities, have been preparing for this for a couple of years. People who cannot afford to take a big L. And that's the again, the little guy getting crushed in America because the big Cheeto, Mussolini at the top, doesn't give a shit. Brock Ganeles (02:33.235) Yeah. Mark Hayes (02:49.794) Doesn't give a shit. Brock Ganeles (02:51.344) It trickles through, Mark. like a lot of people had bought Airbnb properties. They thought that that was gonna be a big boom over this six week period. It was really gonna pay for the year, maybe even two years. They all jacked their prices up, which was greedy, typical American capitalism. But, you know, it made sense. They thought they had the demand and it's just vaporized. Ticket prices are down twenty to twenty five percent in the last week, and they're in free fall with like ten days to go. Mark Hayes (02:56.098) Yes. Mark Hayes (03:12.085) Brock Ganeles (03:18.11) From the first game. But yeah, the cities themselves invested a lot of money in setting up all kinds of events and the like expecting big crowds and international travelers spend a lot more when they come to the US. Cascading effect. It's just a major tranche of our economy that's gonna take a hit when they thought they were actually gonna have a chance to win back some of the money they've been losing or the margin they've certainly been losing. Mark Hayes (03:23.522) Yes. Mark Hayes (03:27.352) Many. Mark Hayes (03:43.159) Yeah. Brock Ganeles (03:47.732) Because their costs have gone out of control. And that's this all lays on Trump and Trump hiring incompetence behind them and a American policy that basically tells the others that we don't care about them. Mark Hayes (03:50.252) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (04:04.728) Then right, right. And Brock, it's not gonna stop. We got the Olympics, as you mentioned, in twenty twenty eight, right? That's Brock, that's everybody. That's the world. And I saw a headline today. This is what the headline said. ICE federal agents will be at the World Cup venues, but immigration enforcement will not be conducted. So why are you there? Brock Ganeles (04:35.156) Hm? So just we just need masked militias armed with w armed with weapons of war, just what, walking around the parking lots just intimidating the shit out of people, but they're not gonna say or do anything to anyone. They're just gonna intimidate them? I don't what what the fuck is that all about? And does anyone believe what comes out of the mouths of our Mark Hayes (04:41.366) Heavily armed. Mark Hayes (04:50.093) Right. Brock Ganeles (05:04.466) Government? No. Why would you trust us? So if I wouldn't go to a game. If I was coming up from like Honduras, I wouldn't come to America to to go to a game. I wouldn't trust the fact that I'm not gonna end up in a concentration camp. Mark Hayes (05:05.504) No. No. Mark Hayes (05:15.448) Dude Dude. Mark Hayes (05:20.674) Dude, I feel like I feel like they're gonna be waiting for people from Latin and Brown countries, you know, literally to step off the plane so they can cough You know, I feel like that's the kind of thing, you know, we're gonna see. And and and seeing the now, this is my issue with with Lat Latinas and the Latino population here. Like Even though you may be fair skinned, they don't care. They don't care. They look to see where you're from. Because you, you know, you look at some Peruvians, right? They look like people from Uruguay. They look like they could pass for white. Right? But these people here don't care. They're cuffing you. They're cuffing you. All they know is it's not America. Not America. And they're gonna cuff you. Because the again. Brock, we talked about this ad nausea, right? They don't have any global perspective. They've never been anywhere. They don't go outside their zip code. So none of this matters to them. The global economy doesn't matter to them. It matters now because their gas is high. They still don't know why, right? They just know Trump did something, there's a war. And we ain't we can't get no lower gas prices. That's all they know. They don't know how, why, what happened during the war, but they love the war. Make it make sense. But they don't have any global perspective. And as long as we're not relying on expertise, experience, and knowledge and know-how, right? We're screwed. We're screwed. You can't let a bullshitter. bullshit his way through eight years of the presidency. And that's what we're doing. That's what he did and that's why he never made any money. That's why this year has been the most prosperous year in Donald Trump's life. Because he's never made any money before. Even when his daddy left him 400 million. He squandered that. Brock Ganeles (07:32.19) Yeah, because he was in a competitive marketplace back then. Right? His casino had to compete with other casinos. His real estate even has to compete with other real estate in the in the broader markets plate. His Trump stakes, his Trump University, his you know, Trump heir had to compete in a free market and he continually lost and filed for bankruptcy. But the government's not a free market. He's now in a closed market. He's in a corrupt market. He owns Mark Hayes (07:35.426) Yeah. Yeah. Mark Hayes (07:45.664) Okay. Mark Hayes (07:49.602) Yeah. Mark Hayes (07:55.342) Yeah. Brock Ganeles (08:01.938) the market now. And we gave them the keys to that. So our corruption boils over. I don't I mean, the World Cup is it's really it's really an embarrassment and horrendous timing that it is in the United States. It's bad for the world. We have teams coming from like Ghana. Iran has a team coming, right? This is a sporting event where everyone in the world is supposed to be welcome. Mark Hayes (08:03.054) Right. Brock Ganeles (08:28.784) And it shows a certain global unity, because on the field we can maybe put aside differences and just love the sport and the competition. And we've you know, once again, we fucked it up. Like you said, everything Trump touches dies. We've kinda we've certainly killed the joy of the World Cup and we've killed the experience for so many of the fans that normally would want to attend and won't, because they don't feel comfortable coming to the United States, because why would they? Mark Hayes (08:36.78) Yeah. Yeah. Mark Hayes (08:46.924) No doubt. Brock Ganeles (08:58.578) We don't welcome them. We've made that loud and clear. Mark Hayes (08:58.71) Right. Right. And Brock, think about it. It's the most popular sport in the world. We could have made goo gobs of money off this if we had been acting like, you know, normal human beings instead of freaking hyenas. Right? This is this is the most popul now again, MAGA thinks the most popular sport in the world is NASCAR. Right? It might be here, but it's Formula One every place else. Right? It might be here in the in in the deep south. Brock Ganeles (09:32.828) America America should have been bursting at the seams from mid June to like early August. Right? We should it's spilling over and money should have just been changing hands left and right, right? People should have been making money all over the place. The entire world should be here with their currencies spending it in our cities on our businesses. It should have been a boom time for from from Mark Hayes (09:38.818) Yes. Flush with cash. Mark Hayes (09:45.058) Hand over fist. Brock Ganeles (09:59.272) The airlines all the way down to the restaurants and the bars and the Uber drivers you name it, right? Everybody should have been banking money this summer. But the only one making money is Trump. And the rest of us are gonna are left out there out there starving. Mark Hayes (10:05.612) Yeah. Everybody. Mark Hayes (10:11.234) Yeah. Yep. Mark Hayes (10:17.004) Brock, when you speak of boom time, this should have been catch-up time. Right? Time for the little guy to catch up on all the 18 months of stress and strain that he's been through. Right? The little mom and pop stores near the stadiums, the guys selling t-shirts and swag around the stadiums. you go through the airports, you're seeing FIFA swag. Right? I mean it this has such a ripple effect on it. I mean, think about the tens of billions of dollars that are gonna be lost because we don't get that influx of global cash from around the world. Right? I mean, Iran is still sending their team and and just think about you know they're gonna bring a huge, huge security contingent with them and their fan base, right? And they're gonna spend money, right? Matter of fact they're gonna spend extra money to make sure everybody's safe. Right? Brock Ganeles (11:15.828) I I don't think their fan base is gonna be allowed in. I think they're gonna be they they need they're gonna need to have security. They're gonna need security from our MAGA crazies, right? So yeah, they're gonna have to be kept safe as a team. But other than that, I don't think, you know, any their citizens won't be allowed to come in. probably wouldn't want to. They wouldn't feel safe here. They wouldn't and shouldn't feel safe here. Yeah, we put you know, Mark, I have a small business in the travel industry and we thought Mark Hayes (11:26.006) Right. Right. Right. Mark Hayes (11:37.484) Yeah. Yeah. Brock Ganeles (11:44.22) Yeah, in New York City. New York City's been gearing up for this for several years and it's been growing and growing and growing. There's so many programs put in place to manage, handle and monetize the hordes of people that were supposed to be coming to New York City and we're not seeing it. The hotels haven't even seen an uptick in occupancy rate, like nothing's happened. It's actually slightly down, so Mark Hayes (11:50.443) Atlanta too. Mark Hayes (12:03.746) Yeah. Brock Ganeles (12:11.878) It's just gonna be a dead summer. And you had July 4th, 250 jammed right in the middle of it, which had a whole series of celebrations going on throughout the country that everyone hoped would have throngs of domestic travelers at also spending money. Just the the velocity of spending was supposed to be huge. And it looks like it's gonna be a a dud. And that's directly attributable. Mark Hayes (12:12.365) And Mark Hayes (12:26.989) Yeah. Mark Hayes (12:31.31) supposed to be the ripple. Yeah. Brock Ganeles (12:39.848) to Donald Trump in Project Twenty Twenty Five. And it's a you know, it's it's self-inflicted wounds. It's another reason why our economy is in recession or going into recession or is in a recession for everything but the small sliver of people who are in AI. Right? Like there's like one gr small group of point five percent of the employees Mark Hayes (12:41.794) Yeah. Mark Hayes (13:00.686) Right. Mark Hayes (13:06.541) Right. Brock Ganeles (13:07.272) That are in the one industry that's booming that's carrying the entire GDP of America. Mark Hayes (13:12.618) Insane. Insane. Scott Pelley got the axe. No surprise there. matter of fact, he was probably trying to get the axe. Hopefully he'll be on MSN or whatever they're called themselves now within a day or so. but you know, Brock, as as we were ruminating in the editorial meeting with our producers, didn't you see Stephen Colbert? Right, and all the broo haha behind that? Like, why is Scott Pelly the final straw? Right? I mean, 60 Minutes has been dead, as you mentioned. I mean, and now again, we talked about this just the other day. One of the leg one of the institutions of journalism now gone. Don Hewitt made this thing into a machine. I mean, almost to the point where. You didn't really want sixty minutes calling ya for an interview. Because they were gonna get to the bottom of the issue. Brock Ganeles (14:21.992) You know, I hope Scott Pelley hadn't quit because he wanted to have that moment where he could confront Barry Weiss and say his piece to get himself fired. Because a part of me was like, Scott Pelley should have quit a long time ago. He's an investigative reporter. Like he saw the writing on the wall. Mark Hayes (14:32.63) Right. Right. Brock Ganeles (14:41.596) Right? The producers had been fired. Anderson Cooper had walked out about a month ago and kind of left a, you know, a flame through some flames on the way out. So I'm hoping Scott Belly did it to have his moment and to have the viral moment and have a confrontation and not go quietly. Otherwise, he stuck around way too long. Like because no one with any credibility should keep themselves attached to that show. Mark Hayes (14:41.846) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (14:51.661) Mm-hmm. Mark Hayes (15:02.591) Right. Brock Ganeles (15:07.43) Or anything CBS news wise, right? The the network of Walter Cronkite is now just another MAGA network. I saw a bunch of calls for flat out boycotts of CBS Paramount. And I'm all for it. Better late than never, but I'm like, where the fuck have you been? They fired Colbert. Mark Hayes (15:07.713) Right. Mark Hayes (15:22.946) Works for me. Works for me. Brock Ganeles (15:34.002) Why is it so I don't know why Scott how Scott Pelley became like the the straw that broke the camel's back, but I'm all for the boycott. I'm not tuning in at CBS for anything. Sorry, I'll live without tracker and matlock and what other other horses shit they have on that station, but I won't even touch anything news related. And nor should anyone else. And let's think this way about Elon Musk's properties and stop buying his fucking cars and get off of his Nazi platform. Mark Hayes (15:34.262) I don't know. Mark Hayes (15:45.325) Yeah, Mark Hayes (15:53.678) It's bad year. Mark Hayes (15:58.305) And products. Brock Ganeles (16:03.464) And let's start acting with our morals and our beliefs and putting our eyeballs, which is our monetization, towards places where we respect what is coming out of them. Mark Hayes (16:15.0) Yep. Yep. Mark Hayes (16:21.26) Yep. You know, anytime you get something for you gotta pay for Paramont Plus now. So there's no need to be paying for it. And if you got it, you might as well drop it. I mean there's nothing, you know, they they stole B E T plus from Tyler Perry, right? For a bag of of of baseballs and you know, some pine tar. And You know, now they're gonna bury the shows on Paramount Plus. Like nobody knows where to find their favorite shows that were on BET Plus. But you know, the Paramount model is let's bury them on Paramount Plus. Now you gotta buy another subscription because BET Plus is gonna get murdered, right? So that's another avenue of you know black and brown programming and black and brown excellence and storytelling that no longer exists, right? And and and and my question is why? that's right. We're trying to eliminate them from the equation. So if we don't show them positive images of themselves and take away the things that they enjoy, maybe they'll go away. you you gotta think that's part of the thinking. Why why would you just dismantle a net a subscription network? A pay BET plus was a pay-to-watch type of channel. Brock Ganeles (17:39.88) I mean, if there's a lesson it's like stop selling your businesses to MAGA. Stop sell you know, like, I get it, it's capitalism, you wanna monetize every possible dollar. But if we're asking seventeen year old kids not to go play football at SEC schools that aren't in states that aren't allowing voting rights for minorities, don't sell your business to some fuck white oligarch who's gonna destroy the product and destroy the access to Mark Hayes (17:45.292) Right. Brock Ganeles (18:08.552) the product because you're giving away a portion of your culture to someone who doesn't value it. And everyone's gonna have to be behave differently from the 17 year old kid who's picking this school up to the whatever 70 year old founder of a business. Find a different way to cash out. And if it means you don't get every penny you could have gotten. There's gotta be something that just makes you feel better getting up in the morning. Mark Hayes (18:14.371) Right. Mark Hayes (18:26.167) Right. Brock Ganeles (18:36.094) That you didn't sell your business to Elon Musk or to Ellisons or Bezos or Zuckerberg or you know one of these other, you know, complicit complicit to white supremacy oligarchs. Don't sell to them. Find another outlet, please. Like we can't just keep giving away our good stuff to people who don't give a shit about it. Mark Hayes (18:47.36) Right. Treason is bastard. Mark Hayes (18:52.056) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (18:59.416) Right. It's called intellectual property for a reason, Brock, right? Because it takes intellectuals to manage it, right? And to grow it. These people don't want to grow it, they want to kill it. And that's the thing that's pissing me off. It's like, why are we letting them kill the things we enjoy? Right? I mean, like, think about how big soccer has become here. And now, you know, one of the biggest for the kids. Right, this was going to be huge, a huge opportunity to see some of the best players in the world. Right? And then of course we screwed it up, we gouged the ticket prices and then now and now people don't wanna come and now it's a mess. But that may present an opportunity. You were gonna say Brock Ganeles (19:46.31) And huge for our players, and maybe we can get more name recognition and develop stars, homegrown stars, that then trigger the growth of our leagues. And you know, like what's happened with the WNBA, right? It just takes a couple stars and a little recognition, and boom, the leagues catch fire. You know, Major League Soccer in America is doing well, it's growing. primarily because of Latin American heritage, Latino heritage fans. Mark Hayes (19:50.818) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (19:57.368) Yeah. Mark Hayes (20:06.467) Right. Mark Hayes (20:16.142) Yeah. Brock Ganeles (20:16.264) This was this could have been a breakout moment. It still might happen, but it's so much less likely to happen because Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about stuff like that. Because he can't. It's not about him, and he hasn't figured out a way to personally monetize it. So therefore, doesn't give a shit about it. Mark Hayes (20:28.428) Right. Mark Hayes (20:34.678) Right. what's up with the world protesting Ivanka? I mean nobody likes Ivanka? I mean, big surprise. Brock Ganeles (20:43.56) Didn't see it but love it. I also see j sa Jared's ho you know, ho development property in like Albania is being looked at for corruption and bribery and the like. Hey, I love it if the culture, meaning like the seventy percent of us that disapprove of Trump and the rest of the world that basically hates America right now because of Trump, they might not hate us individually, although they're frustrated that we won't get off our asses in protest. I love it. I love it. Mark Hayes (21:08.012) Yep. Yep. Yep. Brock Ganeles (21:11.816) Why should people be able to be basically white supremacist fascists and still live comfortably in polite society? It shouldn't they shouldn't. They shouldn't get the perks of the freedoms that they don't care about. Mark Hayes (21:21.378) They shouldn't. Well And here's what they're finding out. You know, you go to Albania, you know, you try to pull the same shit you're pulling here in meek, mild, you know, mild mannered USA. We'll just let the government steamroll us. What they're finding out is that they're getting massive protests, right? This $1.4 billion island resort thing in Albania. Right? They're looking at the corruption probe that you just mentioned, and they're getting huge protests. Albanians ain't going for that. They're not going for that kind of corruption in their backyard. You're not gonna come to another country, right, and and swindle them, right, for their hard-earned loot and make them pay for it like they do here? Are you kidding me? The nerve of them thinking they could go over there and just do whatever they wanted to do and and and you know, call themselves developer. You see, they're not developing properties here, right? They're not developing any resource. Brock Ganeles (22:25.192) Well they're trying to create a playground for the ultra rich. What does that do for the typical Albanian citizen? Nothing. It probably costs them. Just like everything is costing us in this country. Costing us for Trump to play golf at his properties, you know, four times a week. Mark Hayes (22:27.031) See ya. Mark Hayes (22:33.93) Nothing Yep. Yep. Yep. Mark Hayes (22:43.2) Yep. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. The more Trump pushback we get on the family and the like, you're even seeing Amanda Ongaro coming out who, you know, spent twenty days in in ICE detention, just lacing up Melania, right? You know, Melania who can't read a kid's book in English, yet she speaks five different languages. We've never heard her speak anything but Slovenian and broken English. yeah. Amanda Angaro came out the other day saying she's nothing but a two-bit hooker. And that she was, you know, one of Epstein's girls, and that her baby daddy is the one who introduced the Donald. and and Melania. So, you know, she went from, you know, two bit hooker to the first lady. Only in America, baby. Only in America. We make dreams come true. Brock Ganeles (23:46.612) I'm happy the tide's turning a little bit. I'm happy Congress voted against the war powers to Iran. It's ceremonial. The it's it's not gonna stop anything that goes on in the Middle East, right? But it's symbolically voting against something Trump wanted. Right? We got his slush fund squashed. little by a little you know, his his preferred candidate for the Iowa governor in the primary lost. The Trump endorsed candidate lost. So Mark Hayes (23:50.862) Yeah. Mark Hayes (24:13.004) Lost. Yeah. Brock Ganeles (24:15.88) There are little signs in a lot of different pockets of Trump, you know, kind of losing, losing his luster, losing his influence. It's too slow, it's still too small scale, but I guess it's sort of signs of life of a resistance that's growing. But because it's so slow and so small, you know, the fuckery goes on, right? Alabama's gonna have a gerrymandarin map because Our corrupt Supreme Court is allowing that shit, right? So there's still the big stuff is still so negative. Our economies go in the wrong direction. The big stuff is still so negative. But there are signs of life of a resistance movement in some different pockets. I'm trying to be glass half full. Mark Hayes (25:03.404) Yeah, let's do it. Let yeah. Let's be positive. there's also more good news about Trump's daddy, Vladimir Putin. Apparently, a drone attack hit Putin's hometown, tore it up pretty good. So you gotta love that. this war is going nothing like Russia intended. I guess they thought they were the world's number two superpower and could roll over. the Ukraine, but it ain't happening. and Ukraine is standing tall, standing tough, fighting back. and so that continues on as remember, Trump said he was gonna end that war day one. but here we are, month what, eighteen and it's still going on. So Brock Ganeles (25:52.486) As America stares at July 4th and celebrating our own 250th year anniversary of when we broke away from the powers that be right in England, we as a country should be so supportive and so amazed by what Ukraine has done to fight off Russia over four years and the innovation that they're showing in their technology industry to develop these advanced drones that have carved through. Russia's defenses and to the point where they are continuing to be on the offensive into the perimeter of Russia, which of course is putting more heat on Putin. Because the war is coming home to people. Imagine Iran had drones that were landing in US cities. We'd be fucking up in arms. But that's what's happening to Russia because of the way Ukraine developed this technology. They didn't have it before the war. Mark Hayes (26:27.533) Yeah. Mark Hayes (26:32.781) Yes. Mark Hayes (26:38.143) my god. my god. Brock Ganeles (26:46.856) They developed it on the fly as a survival mechanism, and how we as Americans aren't so wholeheartedly a hundred and fifty percent behind Ukraine in every way that we can be is amazing. It's only because Trump is our president and he doesn't understand America and doesn't care about who we are and what we care about. But we've let him. We've let him. Mark Hayes (26:46.915) Yeah. Mark Hayes (26:54.582) Right. Mark Hayes (27:02.787) Yeah. Mark Hayes (27:10.582) Yeah. Well he's he's he's hated he's hated America since he wasn't allowed to play in any reindeer games. Right? He wasn't able to buy a football team because he didn't have the money. Didn't ha and his credit was terrible. He I mean, this is the first president in history with a five fifty credit score. you know, he's been excluded as one of the money guys around America for so long. I'm telling you he's got a to do list from Pootsky. And You know, he and Putin are trying to destroy America from the inside out. They're doing a hell of a job. But we all know what it is. And at some point, you know, history's gonna reveal itself. And we will understand exactly what Trump was paid to do. Remember never forget what Kevin McCarthy said, the former Speaker of the House. Holy shit, Trump gets paid by Putin. We have it on we have it on audio tape. There were plenty of people in the room that heard it. And plenty of people heard it on the internet and it was Kevin McCarthy's voice and we've never even met the man in person and we knew it was him. So it's all gonna come out at some point. Brock Ganeles (28:17.054) But isn't it sad that that was like five, six years ago, maybe eight years ago? And we haven't heard squat from Kevin McCarthy since then, right? He's gone on and moved on, lived a quiet, cushy life, but has done nothing for America. He's watched the guy who he told us is being paid by Putin run the run the country into the ground, but he hasn't fought back at all. He's rolled along with it. Mark Hayes (28:20.044) And nothing's happened. Yeah. Yeah. Mark Hayes (28:27.244) Living his good life. Mark Hayes (28:34.262) Right. Into the ground. Yep. Mark Hayes (28:41.708) Well, he's getting what, fifty, hundred thousand dollars a speech? You know, to run around and talk about nothing. You know, w I mean, why would you want to hear the guy who, you know, was you know, one of the captains in the MAGA movement, right? It's like listening to like a speech from one of the guys like Pauly Walnuts, right? We don't want to talk to Pauly. I mean if Tony Soprano's available, we'll talk to Tony. You know, why do we want to hear from Pauly Walnuts or Christopher Maltesante? Right? Like, why would you want to listen to Kevin McCarthy? He's got nothing to say about anything. He's not an American hero. He's he's not even a patriot. He doesn't love this country after serving in the position that he did and watching the fuckery that he saw go by. Please. Please. All right, we're almost out of time. Quick hit me. You got 30 seconds. Brock Ganeles (29:32.968) Quick tip, the one the one event event that you didn't say Trump has killed yet, but let's keep a close eye on is that UFC fight that's gonna go on in the White House. First of all, it's absurd the way they're just tearing up the fucking property to build a a cage match, even Joe Rogan's against it. But let's keep a close eye on the actual athletes who are s supposed to be fighting that night. Cause there's some Mark Hayes (29:47.736) Whole thing. Mark Hayes (29:51.63) Right. Mark Hayes (29:58.552) See if they show. Brock Ganeles (30:01.746) There's some rumblings that some of those fighters either want to or are going to drop out. As did the singers, that they don't want to be associated with this event. And UFC's as pretty much as MAGA as you get in America. So let's I'm putting that under the we're gonna keep an eye on this UFC thing as the potential next fiasco. Mark Hayes (30:09.678) Didn't surprise me. Mark Hayes (30:19.138) Right. Right. Mark Hayes (30:28.334) Stick a pin in it, because it could happen pretty quickly. you know, nobody really wants to associate their brand with the Trumpster. And they're saying this this whatever this structure is might be a permanent fixture. Like if this is if this is symbolic of this guy's real estate skills and abilities and vision, no wonder he didn't make a fucking dime. Brock Ganeles (30:56.788) Permanent until the day we get power back and then that fucking thing goes day one along with the fucking arch and a whole bunch of other shit. What do you got for me? Mark Hayes (31:00.438) Right. Right. Right. And I misspoke. Iran is not participating. I misspoke, my bad. In the FIFA World Cup. All right. Good stuff. All right, buddy. We'll rack it up and do it again tomorrow. Brock Ganeles (31:19.156) All right Mark. Always a pleasure. Mark Hayes (31:21.398) Revolution. All right, my brother. Peace.
