- 0:01Speaker 1: Charlotte Maine say the game don't get shame you are
- 0:06Speaker 1: a donkey Today does not discriminate. I might not have
- 0:12Speaker 1: the song of today, but I got to donkey that.
- 0:14Speaker 1: So if you ever feel I need to be a
- 0:16Speaker 1: donkey man with the practice club bitches, they just don't
- 0:21Speaker 1: give today today, Donkey today for Tuesday, December six goals
- 0:25Speaker 1: to MSHF. MSCHF is an American art collective based out
- 0:29Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, New York, and according to Business Insider, they
- 0:32Speaker 1: have what They had an installation at Art Basile this
- 0:35Speaker 1: past weekend. Y'all know what art Basil is, right, It's
- 0:38Speaker 1: where a bunch of people gather the not buy art. Okay,
- 0:41Speaker 1: folks just go there for the partying and the networking
- 0:44Speaker 1: and to de ride Diddy if they get the opportunity. Well,
- 0:47Speaker 1: MSCHF had an art installation that was a working, fully
- 0:51Speaker 1: functional atf. But when you used it, it displays how
- 0:56Speaker 1: much is in your checking account. I know you're thinking, well,
- 0:58Speaker 1: uncle Charlotte, that's what checking accounts due, but no, this
- 1:01Speaker 1: machine displayed it to everyone. Not the only reason I'm
- 1:04Speaker 1: giving mc MSHF donkey of today for this is because
- 1:07Speaker 1: they are praying on the fact that we live in
- 1:10Speaker 1: a peacock Show and Tell era. Sometimes you have to
- 1:13Speaker 1: save people from themselves, and you have to save people
- 1:16Speaker 1: from themselves by not giving them the option to make
- 1:18Speaker 1: this kind of mistake. Now, if you haven't seen the
- 1:20Speaker 1: clip online, it shows people using the ATM, and viewers
- 1:24Speaker 1: watched as a screen scroll through not only bank accounts
- 1:27Speaker 1: on the leaderboard, but also showed the photo of the
- 1:30Speaker 1: person using the ATM at the moment. I'm not making
- 1:32Speaker 1: any of this up. Let's go to seven News Miami
- 1:35Speaker 1: for the report. Police. Oh, there's a special ATM that
- 1:37Speaker 1: can tell all you're checking. DJ and music producer Diplo
- 1:50Speaker 1: used the machine at art Bossle over the weekend, and
- 1:53Speaker 1: it shows how much money you have in your bank,
- 1:55Speaker 1: along with your photo. The creator says it was designed
- 1:59Speaker 1: to help people quote cut to the chase. The ATM
- 2:02Speaker 1: sold for seventy five thousand dollars to a collector in
- 2:04Speaker 1: South Florida who plans to make it available to the public.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Why you would want this, You know, I embarrass yourself
- 2:12Speaker 1: right there. You you're the one. There's your bank account.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It's now you're wondering. It showed someone who had two
- 2:21Speaker 1: point nine million dollars in the checking account and showed
- 2:23Speaker 1: another man who had forty eight grant in his bank
- 2:25Speaker 1: account and he couldn't even break into the top twenty nine.
- 2:27Speaker 1: If you think ms MSCHF sounds familiar, it's because they
- 2:32Speaker 1: were also responsible for Little Nasis Exis Satan Shoes, so
- 2:36Speaker 1: they know how to do things to get people talking.
- 2:38Speaker 1: But this right here, not only do you run the
- 2:40Speaker 1: risk of shaming the hell out of somebody at the
- 2:42Speaker 1: time when so many folks are facing financial hardship. But
- 2:45Speaker 1: I guess if you had art Bathil in Miami, you
- 2:47Speaker 1: got a little change to spare, But probably not because
- 2:50Speaker 1: so many folks be frightned. But why would you want
- 2:52Speaker 1: to publicly embarrass people in this way? Because there are
- 2:55Speaker 1: some people on this leaderboard with zero dollars okay, probably
- 2:59Speaker 1: because they didn't know it wasn't a typical atm They
- 3:02Speaker 1: probably put that Chase A Bank of America debit card
- 3:04Speaker 1: in there just to check their account, you know what
- 3:06Speaker 1: I mean. Next thing, you know, their pictures up and
- 3:08Speaker 1: everyone in the room knows they have zero dollars on
- 3:11Speaker 1: the flip side. But if you got money, but if
- 3:13Speaker 1: you're holding a little something. Okay, you this guy who
- 3:15Speaker 1: had two point nine million dollars. Now everybody there knows
- 3:18Speaker 1: you got that kind of money. Now you gotta talge
- 3:20Speaker 1: it on your back. You are walking lick a potential
- 3:23Speaker 1: lick all because of MSCHS activation. I don't want to
- 3:26Speaker 1: live in a world we are well we are ranking
- 3:29Speaker 1: people by their bank account balances now. Daniel Greenberg, who
- 3:34Speaker 1: is the co founder of MSCHF, said, the ATM leaderboard
- 3:37Speaker 1: is an extremely literal distillation of wealth flaunting impulses. From
- 3:41Speaker 1: its conception, we had mentally airmarked this work for a
- 3:44Speaker 1: location like Miami Basil, a place where there is a
- 3:47Speaker 1: DNCH concentration of people renting lambows and rolexus. So basically,
- 3:52Speaker 1: they knew you idiots couldn't control yourself, and they wanted
- 3:54Speaker 1: to expose some of you folks for FRONT. And the
- 3:56Speaker 1: only problem with that is folks that know they are
- 3:58Speaker 1: front and probably don't use the ATM. Can we listen
- 4:03Speaker 1: to the clip of someone who used it? I got
- 4:05Speaker 1: just from this is fifty By the way, this is
- 4:07Speaker 1: an ATM where once you put in your debit card,
- 4:11Speaker 1: you'll take a picture of you and it'll put your
- 4:13Speaker 1: bank account balance on the leaderboards and it'll rank you
- 4:16Speaker 1: among other art Basil guests to see who has the
- 4:19Speaker 1: most money. Currently number one is two point nine million dollars.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It goes all the way down eft and all the
- 4:25Speaker 1: way to like number seventy nine with zero dollars. A
- 4:27Speaker 1: couple of people have zero dollars. But it is just insane,
- 4:30Speaker 1: so really popular ATM. Here as you can see it,
- 4:34Speaker 1: people are hesitants to put their card in there. The
- 4:38Speaker 1: ATM sould for seventy five thousand that art Basil, and
- 4:40Speaker 1: the owner of it can place it wherever he wants,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and there will be some idiots who use it because
- 4:44Speaker 1: we live in an arrow where folks just simply love
- 4:47Speaker 1: to show off. And like the news report said earlier,
- 4:50Speaker 1: why why would you want to use this riche poor?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Why does anybody need to know how much dough you hold?
- 4:59Speaker 1: I I have no idea. Please give MSCHF the sweet
- 5:03Speaker 1: sounds of the Hamletones. Oh now you are the dogee
- 5:08Speaker 1: of the day, the dogee oh the day. Ye not
- 5:26Speaker 1: the brightest? All right, well, thank you for that donkey
- 5:28Speaker 1: of the day. I'm talking to you. You know what
- 5:35Speaker 1: I said. You're welcome in my mind I'm sorry. You're welcome.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I did, I did said you're welcome in my mind,
