0:00 thank you [Music] so the DEA just had its biggest uh seizure in New York City history of fentanyl do you talk about the dick enlargement agency right I could sign up for that am I right brother we're on another Weezer I had whooping cough you ████ dude like literally mid weeds he starts going from red to purple and that ████ ████ starts to scare me every time I had whooping cough I was 14. ████ up my lungs but you have to sell jokes with whooping cough you have to get out of your system so um and this kind of surprises me it doesn't sound like a lot but uh the D.A recovered 15 000 fentanyl pills wow but

0:51 um guess how they found them I'm gonna say inside of tires um what do you think inside fruit this is a new one by the way we haven't heard this one oh we haven't heard this Halloween decorations I thought they were inside of hamsters how creative is it you know what it's not that creative so like stuffed animals or something it's close yeah we're overthinking in coffins it is a toy of some sort oh RC cars close they were able to uh drones it's actually 15 000 of these rainbow colored fentanyl pills were hidden amongst Legos in a Lego box oh that's a genius same color yeah they gotta sort it afterwards oh holy ████ that's a lot of work that's a lot of work but it's still pretty smart

1:41 you think it goes into a scepter though that can feel Legos and feel pills yeah yeah you probably can semi you're gonna question what does fentanyl by itself do to you as a drug like what kind of throws you against the wall over there then I was like like you're dead man yeah it just playing those ████ crazy I know people have been like oh Deanna dying and people have been splicing Fenton onto like regular things like MDMA and all that did you have like like little little amount of Fentanyl and you're ████ dead so why the ████ like you just take it to die that's right that's what people love it because you all it takes is like a drop and then like whatever ████ brick of cocaine that you have it ████ intensifies it like crazy so now you can cut it up even more cut it up with it yeah so you know like we cut up conversationally with stuff they're cutting up but like with a little bit of fentanyl thank you I was looking for more details but thank you

2:31 for your okay answers everybody let's ████ back dude take one little drop ████ ████ backflip ten times back why do you want to know so bad Anthony Lee because it's been a constant thing that comes up in conversation and I'm somebody who has used drugs before and I know that Joe's not here for the guy who abuses drugs before um but it's like when I actually think about like we understand what MDMA does we understand what we does cocaine shrooms whatever but I don't actually know the like the drug a recreational understanding of what fentanyl actually does and that's why I'm just asking if anybody knows by description it's more of a cutting thing because like if you get baking soda you try to cuddle like I don't know like baking soda I mean uh cocaine it'll dilute it dilutes it use fentanyl it's enhancement it's like holy ████ it's like FSG for you drug lord what I don't understand is like they're

3:22 saying that one of these pills can kill you yeah do you know who the ████ using Fentanyl and having a good time and not dying no one that's what I was saying like one of my cop buddies their new protocol you know back then the ████ you pop open a trunk you see all these duct tape packages it used to be the elastic and ████ you know like now it's if you see ████ duct tape ████ they just immediately call guys that are like hazmat suits okay because they can't even do that because people have that sucks literally stabbed it and just from the puff of air ████ three cops just ████ lay on the ground see that's like you used to like get to be a cop and like you go into a buffet that has a police Gordon around it let's check out the meatballs all right yeah all right we're fine but now it's like we gotta get a hazmat suit and all this ████ sucks not gonna be good for the movies you know what I mean no true no ████

4:14 sad travesty really it's do you think somehow would this fix drugs in a way if everyone who takes fentanyl dies you are a dark man could that not be a good thing some crazy ironic way yeah like all drug users are dead but wouldn't there still be curiosity which would bring in new sets of people for you you're like everyone could die right Ryan's like here's a crazy idea if everybody in the world is just dead would anybody use drugs because I remember in um in in uh you know back in the Roaring 90s yeah I had asked this question as a ████ idiot and I shouldn't have said this because it's insensitive as ████ but talking about the AIDS crisis there's more people hypothesized that if everyone who

5:04 currently had AIDS all died from it right now wouldn't AIDS die too I think that's what the government was hoping so is the government also hoping that drug users die by letting fentanyl Run free in a way I don't know I'm not gonna make any assumptions but for some reason after like Decades of this stuff I would assume that the government's just like oh it's the next drug yeah you know what I mean people are going to die people we're gonna get caught we're gonna like Leverage ████ whatever at least you didn't make any assumptions about AIDS first thank you and and when you say when you say something like you know this is the strongest one I mean like wasn't every drug the first time that they were handling it you know what I mean almost yeah yeah so it's kind of like I I would assume that this is just the next drug you know it's the next Crisis it's the next whatever makes sense in that moment so when they're saying like oh this is more potent than

5:55 the last is that just proportionately not to be taken as seriously as what they're it's the it's the most it's the strongest in what has been released so fentanyl I think in medical usage is part of the epidural for girls when they're gonna give birth so that's how strong it is it's so strong where like they put a little bit in bam in your spine I don't ████ feel ████ ████ something that's this wide can come out of my ████ ████ and then I don't even I don't even scream oh my ████ ████ that's how ████ strong fentanyl is they sound like doctors over there yeah that started really good that's the medical use of it so now imagine like you know how like morphine is just medical like opium or a heroin it's like that yeah and I would also I would also assume that this impacts you know what I mean

6:45 the people or the users that are like pushing the edge on that stuff right like um let's take like ecstasy or the idea of it for example when it was just MDMA for therapeutic sense back in the day the reason why it originated stuff like that I'm sure it wasn't laced with ████ speed and heroin and all this stuff right when people started using it recreationally at parties and doing it for the sake of trying to like turn up but stay up and start lacing it with other things that's when it became a different thing once Euros hit the scene and with these like four you know triple stacked quadruple stacked press pills that had all this other ████ that would keep it even going that's when like that answered the scene people were just pushing the bar and if they're pushing the limit if you're a user you're you're upping your ability to take it right I'm guessing like with Bart like when you first took X like how many pills did you take versus when you were at your Peak yeah one and then later on it was probably eight a night Jesus you know

7:36 what I'm saying so when you're up in your tolerance something like fentanyl that's when it comes into play because then you might I'd be like oh I'll just take that one exit again but it's got a little Fenton on it and this just bangs you don't need to take a pills practical use for it I would assume you're looking for something strong baby come out of my dick cold I won't even scream and is that even the limit hey Mark is it is that the limit can you push harder can you push it hard can you push it up yeah maybe yeah maybe ████ blow my dick in half see you think so maybe is there a guy on the internet phone who's like [Laughter] how about that maybe but but again back to what I was saying I would assume that's kind of the the particulars about it right a new user who's suddenly and accidentally finds himself in a situation that's using something that

8:26 has been all you might ████ get blasted in straight diet but like it's always let's say you're going to you know you party hard and then there's that one guy who comes to the party that everybody knows apple is a ████ gangster with ████ he's like you all got the new ████ that's blah blah it's like that crowd for it with your system that crowd runs with that ████ because they're always trying to find like the crazy ████ because the regular ████ the regular people kind of do doesn't even ████ phase him anymore the tolerance difference yeah you think that drug entrepreneurs are just trying to solve a problem because it may be the the customers are like oh my God everything ████ stronger manila's ████ it's not a week and then so they're just like oh my customers want more yeah so I'll put a little bit more of this guy in there I'm getting three and a half stars on Amazon how do I get this up to five I doubt that problem is rooted in my customers want more um I'm guessing it's more like hey maybe there's more demand

9:16 but how can I more efficiently profit and maximize my Supply right that's why people always cut up ████ and put stuff in it you don't want your customers to die either there goes all your clientele that's true I feel like like fentanyl is now the all-time leader for deaths among like because all the old ████ I don't think people were like just ████ dying you know people like they have a problem and that their life spirals out of control with Coke like it was like you had the odm cook which is like thousands and thousands exactly but see people's life deteriorate yeah if there's someone you see someone lose like 50 pounds in front of you yeah this is just like bam they're just ████ and it's the rate of deaths that have been happening since fentanyl has been more popular I think it's like the all-time leader right now so one of the reasons I used to always think which I don't believe this now but like I used

10:06 to think that the reason whenever a new drug hit the scene and everyone was talking about oh this is the new potent thing everybody's dying everyone I used to think that was partially if not majority politics to get more funding to destroy that market because of the money the government's missing out on and I didn't always believe that this is the new killer but for the fentanyl it almost sounds like it's it's it's like half and half it's like it is as true as it sounds and they also want to stamp it out because it's a lot of money's going that direction right there's motivation on all sides it feels like yeah I don't know what have you heard from Cops though about Fentanyl just that it's really really strong in whatever ████ that people even thought was strong before it's not even like a linear increase it's just the exponential it's like

10:56 people usually go okay yeah like your weed's not really addictive when you get into meth it's kind of addictive and like Coke oh ████ heroin is kind of scary it's like this and then it's not like a logical of fentanyl it's here it's more like fentanyl's here got it yeah it's like teeny tiny amounts that will ████ like blow your head off I knew fentanyl is crazy when like my like Party friend like did anybody else get like text uh when uh I guess fentanyl just started really hitting the scene and it was in like cocaine and stuff like that so people just didn't know where it was going to be people started dying left and right cocaine ████ we're dying I just got some like text from like you know like the party friends and stuff that were getting texts from other party friends about bomb they're just like be careful when you're like doing blow or something like that because fentanyl's you know I'd be like the ████ like I don't even talk to you in like years you

11:46 know what I mean but it was just like a mass text I was being kind of sent out in that kind of underground party type of like circuit because people were just dying and people cared enough to try and spread the message hey watch out when you do cocaine because there might be Fenton on and you won't know how do people know how do people know how do you know why for it it's either you try it or you don't right do you know I don't even is there a testing kit you can get nobody does that though right you don't ████ go to the bathroom with your friend who hands you a bag and goes let me ████ test this while we're in the bathroom with the club my pool boy does a better job you think drug users are responsible enough to carry a test kit no of course not no that was more of a rhetorical question I didn't know that was actually going to be a thing so my apologies they were able to trace that this exact

12:36 shipment came from the Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Jesus that was a theory too right that like all these competing drug cartels were like poison the supply yeah and those are those are two big daddy cartoons you don't want and I would understand from their perspective why they might want to use it if it had like a truly highly addictive property that wasn't killing people what was just getting them ████ hooked in a in a way that they're like you have done cocaine before but this one hits you know it's taking the limit takes me to the Limit it pushes me to my lap [Music] um foreign [Music]
