"You get the brainchild of a toasted hip-hop" might be my favorite thing ever said on this show.
Audrey Birch
Just baking, dehydrating and pickling... Perfect idea LOL
A loyal turkey
Could tell James had a cold during this episode and I felt so bad!! Sad to say I listen to these guys more than my own husband 😂😂😂
Amy Kessler
Had to relisten to this because I saw that they are doing it again in April and I wanted to be reminded about how bad this is going to go 🫣
Kristin Haluch
There will be poop!!
Pat Schoolastra
Just listened to this again. 3rd time is the charm! How upset James gets with this complete fucking scumbag is so gratifying. I work in the event industry and this guy literally could not have done anything else wrong. He fucked up on every single thing he did and there were a ton he didn’t even get to. It’s now June 2024 and still no Fyre Fest II. Money well spent by more dipshits! And I love that they named them. Aaahahahahahahaaha!
Bree Beech
Love your show.
Rachel Stoudt
🤣🤣🤣 I love this one!!!! I love you guys!!!!
Jeff Stanton II
There is a festival site in the middle of Ohio, Legend Valley has shows constantly throughout the summer and it doesn’t have any of these issues

That'd be an insult to dildos, at least they're useful and make people happy
Media Maven
Where are people going to poop? Yep, James, that is exactly the non-glamorous activity that Billy the Conman isn't concerned about.
Media Maven
It's the employees and laborers on the island who didn't get paid for the jobs done that are the real victims.
PurplePlissken
Please be joking 🤣
Michael Donnelly
Got my tickets to fyrefest 2 … have some faith in Ja rule 😅
Cheyenne Gibson
If people get scammed again they deserve it, and have too much money on their hands
Lindsay Chapon
Who the hell invested in this second festival if he still does millions of dollars to investors, he went to jail for lying to. Extreme morons
Dena Ward
Love this. What dumb MF’ers. Thanks guys for always telling these stories.
Justin Michael Baard
"Fucktard" was the favorite insult of the mentally challenged cart returner I befriended at walmart. To quote him "Some people are just fucking retarded". David is good people. lol
Justin Michael Baard
Shocking, that's the exact age range of people obsessed with Elon in the modern day. Luckily, I was swayed by my uncle into a life of music obsession.
Sara
I volunteer as tribute! If these morons have too much money, they can shuffle it my way! I'll put it to much better use!
Cia Rising
Fuckwad is also a good thing to call people along with baglapper.
Mandy Freeman
I was born in '89 and I don't have a CEO/Entrepreneur obsession.....That being said, it is something many people my age do unfortunately.
Rebecca Anne Weaver
Please call people dildos more
Megan Isherwood
“I just wanna smack his fat face”😆😆
Shyanne Prohl
Just started this episode, but yes, that age group (that I'm a part of lol) is why we had Theranos, Anna Delvy, and Fyre. Too funny
Shyanne Prohl
It's called Hype!
Maryann S
I worked with Carola Jain pre Fyre. She is very nice, smart and kind. She's given and raises a lot for funny "for the kids" Billy needs a punch just for dragging her thru this.
Fran Hitzke
I’ve never seen this doco but I don’t feel I need to anymore, James’ hatred says enough 😂😂
Rachel
Son was born in 1996. Can confirm. From age 5 on wanted to be an inventor/scientist or “boss” and live in a mansion. It was all about the business angles being an entrepreneur etc. He’s better now 🤣
Shawn McClearn
They're all Gatsby wannabes and even failing at that. Burn it all down, fellahs. But it all the fuck down.
Ashley Longstreet
What was the name of the book you reference? I missed that
Audra Wajda
I love it when James gets so mad he stutters. He gets SO pissed lol.
Liz
Fyre festival is my Super Bowl. I love talking about it. So listening to y’all’s take was awesome. I really hope billy boy gets arrested again
Kayla Higgins
They should check out Blue Ridge Rock Fest that just happened 😂
Tommy D
I can’t believe there are people who are buying tickets to the second “festival”!
Pat Schoolastra
It is astonishing that ppl would give anyone (or anything) associated with Fyre Fest a penny. Their logic is cult behavior like you guys said. Unreal.
Joe the Cynic
Glad I booed Ja during the NFC championship game in Philly
Wrae Sanders
This was hilarious..if you haven't seen the Netflix doc you should
Nino Reyes
This is like the sugondese concert
Shawna Fisher
Am I the only one who has never heard of these people? This is not a thing I knew existed.
Naomi Albright
A short break in all your records? Good Lord, next thing we know ya'll will be expecting us to believe you're human!
mint
James sounding stuffy! Hope he's not sick
Alex Lecy
Definitely employee of the month type material
Rebekah Norwood
In the sun all day.No water. TONS of tequila. No bathroom. What could go wrong?
Lizzy Goldstein
Y'all mentioned the Rajneeshee in the Starke, FL episode and it occurred to me that could make an entertaining bonus episode. Wild story.
Andrew Betts
Looks like you're going to have to do an episode about the blue ridge mountain music festival it was like fyre festival but bands actually played however they cancelled it after the second day due to "weather"
Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥
Lmao, I forgot about sucking dick for water
Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥
Too much confidence all around. I didn't keep up w it when it happened, but I caught the docs later. When they said 5 to 6 months I laughed so hard. I saw the prep, them partying on the boat and was baffled, no electricity, no bathrooms, no food, water. I can't believe ppl are stupid enough to sell out for part 2. Great episode guys
Abby
There are few things in life that bring me as much joy as James at peak pissed off rant levels! Awesome episode!!!
Sandy
“Are you TRYING?!” is my new favorite accusation.
Tracy Poetz
I don’t understand why people are falling for it a second time! That’s when you know you have too much money. Might as well just burn some in a bonfire. Might be more satisfying lol
Cassandra Stirling
Gobble gobble
Brandie Ann
Always love listening to James rant about idiots, and laughing along with Jimmie. There’s a reason they’re the turkey masters. gobble gobble
Gabrielle Ribas
Always a beautiful job boys.
Enjoli Pettice (Lee)
I read that he was “The poster boy for millennial scamming”! Lolol
Wendy McGath
Omg, I’ve been WAITING for y’all to do this!!!
Enjoli Pettice (Lee)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. like how short?! 5’8 or something?
Navarra Good
My hubby and his brother went to Wacken this year. Wow!! I was so impressed by how well run that Metal festival was (even with unexpected rain and mud). Not only did I feel reassured that they were safe and having fun, but I was able to watch some of the shows online while he was there, so he didn't feel so far away.
Jeremy James
love y'all

I had the honor of selling a quarter of herb to Ja Rule at the hotel I work at a few years back. He asked if I "had a plug for some spinach." Dude was sooo short in person. He was the guest at a local strip club. He did 2 songs then left, which led to the whole crowd booing and trying to fight him. Good guy!
Nicole Bell-Ferrel
I emailed in and requested this one a while back so I am very excited!
Nunya_bsnss
Love you guys, gobble gobble! 🦃
Shea Brown
