Chapter 1: Why does Mark believe in demons?
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Flagrant. Today, we're going to get to the bottom of why Mark believes everything. Mark, just three seconds ago, was telling us why demons exist, and your proof was the Jews. That's literally what you said.
Religious people believe in demons. Dove believes in demons. Let the record show. You're a religious Jew. You go to synagogue every day, and according to Jewish religion, you have to believe that there's good and evil. And that the evils are demons. Sure.
Okay, Mark, I've learned from communicating with my wife, okay, that giving examples is not what they want. Okay, examples undermine what they feel. And they just want their feelings validated. Now, my whole life has been dedicated towards creating metaphors and analogies for why I'm right. Turns out that's horrible for communication. Also interrupting, apparently horrible.
I'm like, is it my wife that's commenting on the YouTube?
You got to call it heckling. Call it heckling, dude. Do people not have friends? I'm like, what do you do with your friends?
You don't just talk over each other. That's just how friendship fucking works.
That's how it's supposed to go.

Chapter 2: Is it too early to buy property in California?
You want to say something, you just say it.
Done. Except for when she interrupts you.
Chapter 3: What are the political implications of the LA fires?
disrespectful come on a man is talking here a male embryo the embryo that is wanted and desired and cherished around the world yes okay anyway mark mark mark believes in anything we figured out why mark believes in anything can you share i believe in i give leashes to things okay i don't just believe i just don't believe in anything
Okay, Mark heard so much absurd shit growing up from his mom. Obviously. Right? So his barometer for what is normal and weird is way off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Coffee and I'm a normal. Great way to start your morning.
We haven't even gotten to the bottom of that, have we?
Mark's mom did.
so hold on she's just backing up into the nespresso every morning yeah well it's put into like a like a canteen oh she doesn't go right from the tap she doesn't just you gotta cool down you gotta cool down make a room temp and then put it in the in the little little container and then tube it up got it she doesn't go for ice coffee you know refreshing okay
Okay. Okay. So, all right. So Mark has, gives a little bit longer leash to all the crazy people, right? Yeah. Now I'm not saying mom's crazy, but she has some wild ideas and you would hear this. Some of the ideas are certainly kind of crazy. And then some of the ideas end up kind of being right.
So where the average person like us, if somebody just walks up to us on the street and they're like, bacon is fucking, it's really from pigeon or whatever like that. We go, all right, whatever. You're just a crazy person. There's a little bit of you. that goes, well, what do you mean by that? Yeah, well, why?
There's certainly a follow-up question. And I thought everyone had follow-up questions.

Chapter 4: How can we hold people accountable for the fires?
Yeah, literally. Yes. That's where this convo came from. Because I was talking to a guy that was telling me about aliens. And I was like, yo, maybe, dude. They're so convicted when they're telling me about aliens.
Has there ever been a moment in your life where you just go, ugh, I don't believe that? Sure. Sure. Yeah, when someone said, you should enjoy movies.
You're like, I don't believe that. So I watched Wicked, and I was like, eh, I don't know.
Too many people do that every single day. It's part of our culture. Yeah, I'm not going to watch movies. Shower Daily. Wait, what? Shower Daily.
Yeah, I mean, that's a myth, for the record. That is absolutely a propaganda tool done by a capitalist America. Yes. By the Resnicks? By the fucking Resnicks.
Yeah, you fucking Californians were washing yourself all day and your city would be there. Consume more. Buy more. That's what happens, bro. People are showering all the time. Fucking Resnicks, dude. Yeah. I was counting down the minutes until they blamed it on the Jews, the wildfire. I kept looking at TikTok. I was like, man, you guys are taking a little while.
And then, boom, where's all the water in California? It's a fucking Starboy's house in northern California. L.A.? Where are the Resnicks? I think Northern California. I'm going to have all of it, though.
Anyway. Okay, so. I give a little bit of a leash. Yeah. Okay, but then some things, like Flat Earth, that's not true. But you would give a leash to believe it.
It had to be proven. But I heard it. And I was like, all right.

Chapter 5: What are the social impacts of housing loss due to wildfires?
around not flat at all I agree but you think that it's flat it's not flat it could be you give a leash to the idea that it's flat well it is measurably flat in our existence on the earth the glass is thick on the airplane so it makes it look round from our POV on the plane I get it it's experientially flat but it's not actually flat in actuality that's true
I wish he was sick.
I am sick. I'm sick. I'm getting more sick listening to this shit. Akash almost died this week. So did Al. I gave it to him. I got the Akash bird flu. Thank you, Riff. I did tell you not to hug me. Al wanted to hug everybody. But how are you so contagious? You got some real assholes to cry about what you're going through during these wildfires.
Like nobody cares about your little fucking pneumonia.
Occam's like, oh, pneumonia.
I do think I'm the real victim.
You are the real victim. Can you share what you're saying about the wildfire? So we, my wife and I keep talking about getting out of New York. We've been looking at stuff in LA. The house that we had been looking at the whole time, like this is fucking great piece of property. Yesterday just got cleared off of Compass. Not for sale, not for rent. That shit burned to the ground. Isn't that crazy?
And I remember like a week ago being like, it's so fucking cold in New York. This is God's way of telling us to leave. Go to California. So legit burned down. Burned down.
I told you they were real, the fires. No one said they weren't real. This motherfucker didn't even think they were real.

Chapter 6: Are coffee enemas beneficial?
Shouts. Anyway. Is it too early to say there's going to be some available property in LA soon?
I've been trying to figure that out, to be honest with you.
One of the first questions I asked Jason, I was like, how quickly are y'all going to buy up this dirt? And he was like, and this is what he said. He goes, eh, it's uninsurable, not worth it.
And that is going to be the issue is that now that there are wildfires that run through every year or whatever it is, and you don't know when this kind of stuff is going to happen, the insurance companies are going to go, eh, it's not worth it. And then the only people who can buy the homes are the people who can buy them all cash and self-insure. I mean, so housing prices tank.
Or it becomes an affordable area because the fair plan only insures up to $3 million. Oh, is that like the government's natural disaster insurance? That's when, because they were canceling State Farm, other plans, so you only had the fair plan plus like little other umbrellas you could have done, but if that's your cap...
What if you just buy land and wait for California or for L.A. to go Republican?
Now we're going to be fine. Once these people start, because a lot of these people whose houses are gone, like they never built a house. They maybe renovated one a little bit or they bought an existing house. Once you start building a house in California, you deal with the bureaucracy that is in place. All these people are going to go, man, fuck this. The Democrats. Fuck liberal politics.
Fuck leftist shit. Open it up. Turn this shit into Texas or Florida.
You don't think they're going to streamline this shit? Because there's so many... So here's the thing.

Chapter 7: What does the blame game look like for the LA fires?
I think your anger needs an explanation. How the fuck did this happen? Now, apparently, like you guys said, it's a lot of confluence of events. That's crazy. Hurricane level winds with the fire, with the dry, the drought, blah, blah, blah. But at some point, you also got to look at how the fuck there it can't be perfectly planned. The city, all the money was spent correctly, et cetera, et cetera.
And then everything happened. And then we do feel like politicians don't really take accountability. It doesn't feel like Gavin Newsom is saying, you know what, I take responsibility for what I've done, blah, blah, blah. It seems like they're just like, let me make sure I get reelected again. Let me make sure I look okay out of this.
And then you look at that and you get grossed out because you're angry looking at this. You feel bad for those people. There's a perfect outlet. There's a human being who fucks something up and isn't taking accountability.
Fuck that guy. I also think that it's an outlet for their frustration that preceded this. So it's like, if you have frustration about homelessness, if you have frustration about legislation, if you have frustration about the crime rates in the city, you had all this frustration about L.A., But at the same time, it's 75 every single day. You got a job, you're still getting paid.
You got a nice house. You're like, all right, let me not, you know, cry about this right now. Then this happens and it looks like there's an aptitude on behalf of the government. And you're like, all right, you know what? Fuck you. You guys all got to get out of here. So I think it's, it's not the straw that broke the camel's back.
There's a lot of fucking straw right here, but it is indicative of a greater problem. And I think it's a frustration with government in general and like progressive leadership. Yeah.
People were mad at the mayor that she was in Ghana. Yeah. You see that? Yeah, yeah. Wait, I think she left before the fires. Yeah.
Yeah.
Like she was there already. Which, just what a fucking stressful.

Chapter 8: What's next for the future of LA post-fires?
Hop off his dick. That's fire. A little tap to the tummy. The ditty on Justin Bieber. That's fire. Yo, hop on his dick.
Son, that's fire. You're going to be saying the same shit about Trump 10 years from now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if he did it with some swag, that was a little swag with him. He's like, yo, what's up, my nigga? Like, yeah. He kept him moving.
That's exactly what it was. He said it. Like, they had just been hanging out. He did.
Like, yapping up. Because, like, him and fucking the wife, they hang out all the time. That would be the best part about being present.
What? Buying TikTok? Nope. After being president and just hanging with the other presidents, being like, yo, that shit was fucking good.
Wasn't it wild?
That would be the most fun part.
We got to learn something. I kind of think that they don't really learn that much. I don't think there's that much new information they have that we don't. Because what? I mean, necessarily, because Trump would have said it.
I don't think he's capable of keeping his mouth shut. I think if it's gun to your head, which it literally probably is.
