**Vinny Lingham** (0:30)
I'm so mad at my friend, how the lady could have loved you.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:33)
Listen, I say this all the time, out of all the best characters in comedy movies, what he did in that is my top five.

**Vinny Lingham** (0:42)
In the hangover.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:42)
And I'm telling you, and I watch comedy, that character, he is in the top five of the funniest characters.
I would go back and watch it again, and again, and again, it's that funny. Anyway, great to have you on. Great to have you on, great to have you here. I missed you guys. By the way, Brian was here at 7.3 in the morning. We were all showing up late. He came and said, guys, where is everybody? And we're like, our Brian's here. I had to get a workout. We got, we're ready to go. We got a lot of stories to cover with you guys today. There's a story about dad brain. Have you heard about this dad brain concept? We're gonna talk about this dad brain concept. It's an interesting story that I think you're gonna appreciate. It says what happens to men when they become dads. There's a few things that happen to us when we become dads. Last night, we're having dinner with a friend doctor of ours.
And Tom starts telling the doctors, like, look, can you find a nurse for Vinny? And then he says, look, you have to know, you got looks or you get a doctor. You don't get both.

**Vinny Lingham** (1:42)
Most doctors are not attractive.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:44)
So I'll settle for a nurse. You know a pretty nurse sent us this way. By the way, I'm gonna do an exercise. Stay tuned.
Of anybody you know, because I now know Vinny's clear qualification for what he wants in a wife, we're gonna create a site, add them in there, and then we maybe, listen, maybe you're gonna be the person that's gonna help Vinny find his wife and we'll figure this out. But I finally figured out what he wants and what he's not into. The one criterion, I don't know why you said this, I never understood it too, but I've never asked because I don't want to insult you. It's privacy. He said, no Somalians. I don't know what that means.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:15)
That was the only thing he said he's not into.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:17)
No Somalians.

**Adam Sosnick** (2:20)
It's not that bad.

**Brian Callan** (2:21)
They run good day care centers.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:22)
So, a few stories. Number one, Iranian sanctions, operation economic outcast, trying to destroy Iran economically. Rubio said strikes over sanctions. And the way they're doing it, it's very interesting because Turkey and Pakistan that are tied to the sanctions just did a new trade deal with Iran. So, the timing is kind of weird. And I think they're only going after like three or four different countries. They want to suffocate Iran in ways they've never done it. Qalshi came out today. And you guys remember this good looking guy who is very, you know, Vinny does it really good when he goes like this. You know, this Newsome guy. He was first on Qalshi. He's officially not even second. Ossoff and AOC are now ahead of him on Qalshi. Newsome is down to 13%.
This is what happens when you have no clue what you stand for. It's not even the awe. You know what it is? What the hell do you stand for? One minute you're a socialist, one minute you're this. Just say what you're standing for and go make your arguments. And then Dolly Parton and Jelly Roll will get into that, obviously. May she rest in peace. She was an absolute legend. Certain people, you can use the word legend and it's qualified legend. Dolly was a legend.
This past week, Jelly Roll stepped in for Jimmy Kimmel. There was a lot of people that were not happy about some of the jokes. I thought a couple of the jokes were funny, but I think something he did on the second day was, he probably didn't need to do it. Why do that? I mean, why lose that audience? We'll talk about that. I'm curious how you guys feel about this. Trump posted a tweet yesterday as the greatest president of all time. Did you see this one or no? And then great and then average and then below average. And he added a category, but people don't know the story behind it. We will talk about what the story behind it is. But again, he's trying to piss a lot of people off. I got a clip talking about Outkast.
