SPEAKER_2 (0:10)

Adam, what's your point?

Patrick Bet-David (0:12)

The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signed.

SPEAKER_2 (0:16)

Right here.

Adam Sosnick (0:27)

I've never touched a rake.

Patrick Bet-David (0:28)

Tom, have you touched a chainsaw?

Tom Ellsworth (0:30)

As a matter of fact, yes.

Patrick Bet-David (0:31)

Why you ask? Oh, man.

Adam Sosnick (0:34)

As a matter of fact, yes, I have.

Patrick Bet-David (0:36)

In Montana, I almost killed myself.

SPEAKER_4 (0:38)

And we're live, guys.

Patrick Bet-David (0:39)

Yeah, I know we are, but the reason why...

Tom Ellsworth (0:40)

We had a tornado that came through Dallas, remember that kind of mid-sized one? I went out there with the chainsaw, and I helped clear Parker.

There was these two trees went down, these two guys.

Patrick Bet-David (0:51)

I just want to know if you've used it, Tom. Yeah, no, definitely. You have used it, okay. All right, so...

Tom Ellsworth (0:54)

You have to know what you're doing.

Patrick Bet-David (0:55)

Have you? I was in the military. We used everything, guys. So of course, yes.

But we have a special guest here with us. A few months back, we announced a certain contest for people to be able to participate on the podcast. Today, we have Chris Wagner. But Wagner is the way we say, like, Honest Wagner. We have Chris Wagner here from Indiana. We've never met until we went to dinner last night, and we found that six weeks ago, this man had his sixth baby. And he's got six kids in seven years with the same woman, not a traditional Catholic, not a Mormon, just a regular guy that wants to make babies. So Chris, it's great to have you on the podcast.

Chris Wagner (1:33)

Thanks a lot, man.

Patrick Bet-David (1:34)

Can't wait. And how did it happen, by the way? You just, you bought merch, and we called you, and we ran a raffle, and you came in.

Chris Wagner (1:39)

Yeah, you announced the raffle. I thought, maybe it's real. Yeah, and then, hey, here we are.

Patrick Bet-David (1:44)

Let me ask you, have we ever met?

Chris Wagner (1:46)

No.

Patrick Bet-David (1:46)

Until last night. But sometimes people are like, they picked their favorite.

Chris Wagner (1:49)

Yeah, right.

Patrick Bet-David (1:49)

We've never met. This is it. It just kind of happened, and we're about to have.

Chris Wagner (1:53)

I want to say honestly, I thought I was selected maybe because of, you know, you guys, the family and stuff, you guys, you know, it's all about feeling on the podcast. You got six kids married. So I don't know.

Patrick Bet-David (2:01)

Oh, you thought I was it because of that?

Chris Wagner (2:02)

I thought maybe it was a random, but I don't know.

Patrick Bet-David (2:04)

All right.

Adam Sosnick (2:04)

So it was completely random.

Patrick Bet-David (2:06)

By the way, when I tell you complete, they tell me, I don't even know. They just tell me, here's a raffle, here's what was selected. But it's great to have you for the people that are watching this.

We typically tell our community first when we do crazy things like this. But with that being said, we got a lot of weird things going on. My favorite story is the one from Britain. By the way, as crazy as this story is, watch how many blue states take this idea.

Britain announces that they are going to have dedicated IRS agents for every one of their billionaires in Britain. Which by the way, if you think about it, it's a brilliant idea. You pay the IRS agent how much money? $60K a year, $70K a year, and go get an additional percent, 2%, 3% on a billionaire, $18 million, $17 million. Dedicated IRS agent for you Mr. Vinnie Billionaire.

Patrick Bet-David (3:03)

Is he at the house? Is he at the house?

Patrick Bet-David (3:05)

He's following every move you make.

Vinnie (3:07)

What was that?

Patrick Bet-David (3:08)

What was that move?

Patrick Bet-David (3:09)

We'll definitely talk about that story.

There's a story circulating, Alina Haba, I gotta say this, I'm gonna keep it very brief. And Vinnie's not happy about it, okay? We were having an extensive conversation about, you know, rumor has it, Alina Haba is with somebody. It's a new story. Engaged. Engaged. And anyways, I don't want to get into it. It's a little emotional.

Can we turn off the camera? I don't want people to see Vinnie's. Don't zoom in on Vinnie. Anyways, congratulations, whatever. Vinnie wasn't happy and it's been three years and three months he hasn't had an alcohol. It's gonna start tonight, so it's gonna be a very...
