The best part of the 50 Cent side quest is that after 50 Cent bought those tickets, Ja Rule decided it was a good idea to say " nah that doesn't bother me, as long as he doesn't buy my masters and publishing rights. " then out of nowhere, to the surprise of Ja Rule, 50 goes and tries to then buy his rights so he'd have to pay 50 every time he performed his own shit.
Hey Woolie, I think I know what you mean when you said "I heard about this story before" It was indeed an episode of the podcast and it makes sense that Pat doesn't remember because he wasn't there. It was the podcast episode where you talked about the Pokemon Go event that ended in disaster, and one of your guests (I don't remember who exactly) said "It's like the Fyre festival where everything went wrong" I remember this specifically because I know that I looked it up un my phone right after he said it. Kudos
I've never seen Pat drinking anything other than Red Bull, either he has a super kidney or he has no kidney at all. He would have probably easily survived the Ja Rule battle royal.
I recommend watching Internet Historian’s video on the Fyre Festival. One of the things he says was that people spent 500-1,200 dollars on tickets so you can’t even laugh that it happened to rich kids.
Eftkvcdi965321 Remember, it was promoted as a two-week long all-expenses-paid music festival, so it’s not unlikely that a large number of working class people would try to set aside $1200 for such a deal.
I'd argue whoever could afford a $500 ticket along with the price of a flight to the Bahamas for the sake of a few days when they're too young to have careers would qualify as rich kids.
Go watch Internet historian video about this, it's still is super relevant, and it shows a lot of things, super interesting. Also, there's no "rich kids" that were there, because according to the historian's video, no one bought the 12k tickets, that's why they couldn't make money to the event, 500-1.2k were the avg ticket price, not that expensive.
Wait a minute, though. In the Netflix interview they specifcally say they sold out on all tickets and packages and these ranged from $400 to $250k. They even had a segment that they highlighted where they couldnt stop people from giving them money. They advertised RFID wristbands you could load money on and they had people calling them up to load money on the wristbands. They figure they have was that they got up to $800,000 of loaded funds. While there were regular people who bought tickets there was absolutely some extremly affluent people going to this event.
@@ZhadoxFlamez Yeah, but Pat and Woolie said that the Netflix documentary was a biased one made by the same people who were behind this that wanted to spin it in a way that doesn't make them look scummy. Honestly because of this I guess I'll just double down on not using Netflix regularly since they apparently like to work with scummy people. That being said if their were trust fund babies there then it would be a little enjoyable to see their spoiled butts suffer. That also being said I hope that the people that scammed them eventually get what they deserve.
@@ZhadoxFlamez It's kinda like the Eron situation, 'im gonna lie i'm making money, and that will bait people into giving me money, but since i'm not making any, that is not going to cover our expenses. Again, the historian guy explains this very well.
@@theprofesionalist7927 Also this. They were selling their tickets too low, that's why they couldn't cover their expenses, there's no actual record of anyone buying the 250k tickets.
One thing that's important to remember is that Ja Rule could have still to this day been in one of the highest grossing movie franchises of all time (Fast and Furious) if he didn't demand more money after the first one causing the producers to go, "eh, we'll just get Ludacris as the black rapper guy".
What do these two have in common? Oh right; their both talentless hacks with failed music careers that resort to being scam artists for a living because they're no longer popular.
@@TheKeybladeofdarknes Except the island in SDR2 was decked out with everything the kids needed to not only survive, but be completely comfortable and satisfied for an extended period of time.
The unfortunate thing about the 26 million is that it is nowhere near the full amount he owes to everybody he scammed. A bunch of those people will likely never get there money back.
@@JackgarPrime the funny thing is, I only saw the videos and half of the documentary about Raj, so for the longest time I felt like losing my mind because everytime I would talk with someone about these events they would reference things in a different way than I remembered.
Watching Woolie bounce like a child on Christmas as he describes this shitshow is such a beautiful thing. Never has a man been more excited to describe human suffering.
"You were probably just playing a shitty game" Fyre Fest is the EXACT feeling of buying and playing a shitty game, taken to its ultimate, logical extreme.
You know the dumbest part is that if Billy had been smart enough to insure the festival he could have canceled it and filed a claim after that massive storm. Would have saved face and gotten at least some of the money back
The dude's been a snake-oil salesman since the start, which focuses on getting connections, and then getting their money and cashing it out without them realizing they've been screwed over. The entire festival planning was done quickly and haphazardly. Billy invested mostly in marketing to ensure those considering investing that there was enough pull for the event. The problem is that they only realized how severely they underestimated the costs AFTER they got their money from investors. His entire idea of being able to profit was undercutting both investors and attendants at the start and pocketing the rest. Greed, and speed as well as negligence, were motivators for not taking any sort of precautionary measures.
Take a handful of snotty brats that were given all they wanted and their fire trial can be on an island with little water and rations of food for three months
This netflix/hulu shitshow reminds me of the pixar/DreamWorks shitshow, where Jeffrey Katzenberg, the guy that produced much of the Disney renaissance but left because michael Eisner, the guy that produced the Disney cartoon shows, became CEO over him. So Katzenberg left and cofounded DreamWorks, then produced movies that followed the same themes the movies Disney was having Pixar make(bugs life/antz, finding nemo/sharktale, the Disney brand/shrek) all while trying to stick it to his past employer

also, tickets at first were sold at 2000 bucks each but since they didnt sell fast enough to make up for the amount they would have had to spend they decided to lower the prices a bit and have different tiers of tickets. in the end tickets went for 50 bucks a bunch of normal people have indeed bought those tickets it also wasnt on an island. it was on a coast but the people couldnt go to a city since they didnt have any means of transport
