Remy: Regulate (FTX Parody)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- In the wake of the FTX meltdown and crypto price drops, Congress wants to make sure Remy makes good financial decisions…just like them.
Parody of Warren G's "Regulate" written and performed by Remy; video produced by Meredith and Austin Bragg. reason.com/vid...
LYRICS:
It was a clear black night, he was sitting at home
Looking at a JPEG on his trusty iPhone
It was a rare NFT of a hipster mouse
So he did what you do, he mortgaged his house
And he put in a bid, he was getting the itch
He couldn't sit there while he saw those other people get rich
But then the market crashed! The value deflated!
This shouldn't be allowed-they should regulate it!
He saw a JPEG, it looked in demand
So he mortgaged his house, spent 400 grand
We need to pass new laws to prevent this fate
He wouldn't be so dumb if we regulate
It was a cool, crisp day, he was watching the game
That's when he saw a commercial with folks of acclaim
Crypto returns that'll never default!
So he thought what you think-that sounds too good to be false!
Mortgaged his house, researched the rate
Checked out the CEO, nothing seemed out of place
But when he checked one morning, the value was gone
We should make fraud illegal, this is all just wrong!
He did his research and he studied up
Then bought invisible tokens this guy just made up
It was a harsh consequence for an honest mistake
His IQ wouldn't be five if we regulate
It was a lukewarm noon, he's on Capitol Hill
Cuz he got margin called and was facing a bill
You don't understand, I've lost all that I had
You need to pass more laws! This is terribly bad!
Uh, excuse me-thanks for letting me join
But isn't part of the issue him? There's a new dog coin?
Maybe the underlying tech is one we shouldn't forestall
Maybe one day it's-Shiba Inu, it's called
If he hadn't been allowed to be a HODLer
He wouldn't have the impulse control of a toddler
We could end human nature with a pen stroke today
Why do I have a feeling that they're gonna regulate?
You shouldn't prey on folks with financial illiteracy
By the way, have you seen the state lottery?
The Powerball's $1 billion, you better not wait
He's gonna make good decisions when we regulate
I remember watching Remy when he did "raise the debt ceiling" back when we were only 14 trillion in debt. It's nice that we've all grown together
🤣
Not as fast as the debt.
"We should make fraud illegal..." 😂
And "we could end human nature with a pen stroke today"
Remy is often far too deep for his own material. While I don't really consider myself Libertarian (having been called a babykiller once too often on Reason), the comment really cuts to the quick when it comes to the presumption that gov't regulation will somehow solve a problem or right a wrong.
@@fyrchmyrddin1937 I think libertarians are pretty split on abortion these days.
But yeah it's a good joke, we should make murder illegal while we're at it :)
I do hope the FTX guys do get hit with fraud charges under existing laws, of course.
Is it already illegal to begin with...only idiots have something to hide from government they do illegal things by using FTX accounts...and yet the criminals complain about it that want government to regulate it...and government said...why?
reminds me of The Onion article: "VISA EXPOSED AS A GIANT CREDIT CARD SCAM"
The lottery bit at the end was 100% on point
Meh
How so? Everyone knows what lottery is and what odds are. Zero relevance. Also, if you talk about FTX, main issue there was nod adhering to term of service which clearly stated that FTX can not touch funds deposited by users, and that's exactly what FTX did. So yeah, it is against regulations.
Only we are allowed to prey on folks with bad impulse control and addictions 😤 - the government
At first glance, when I saw that incredibly low percentage, I thought it was the odds of winning. Then I saw it was the percentage of the federal deficit and thought, "one billion of 30 trillion, HAS to be more of a percentage than what Remy lists here; his division is off by a factor of 10." Nope; he calculated correctly.
As the Vampire State (NY) motto goes, "We can't win if you don't play!"
... Well, that's how it *should* go; it's actually "You can't win if you don't play".
" 'Crypto returns that will never default', So he thought what you think: 'That sounds too good to be false' " Love it.
However, it has been proven that it is true if you hold long enough. You'll than yourself later for holding in.
Funny skit, but that part didn't age well.
Remy is my favorite part of Reason TV.
Yes, there are informative and or important discussions here as well, but the way he adds the humor just makes me smile every time!
you should check out his personal mtg channel! :)
Does ReasonTV /have/ any other parts?
@@cooliocoolio-g7v I'm already subscribed!
Remy is literally the only reason I'm here, lol
I am not a libertarian, but I believe government should be restricted a lot more than it is. Our advantage over Europe right now is partially because of our friendly regulatory environment. His videos are fun and make you think about it
This aged like fine wine. Saw an interview with some SEC spokeswoman who literally said crypto wouldn't be so confusing if they'd just regulate more.
This is funny but scary, my liberal brother commented "that's why we need a central bank and regulation" when I brought up ftx.
One thing Remy missed is the fraud involved. Fraud is already illegal. FTX spent customers money for their own personal gain. This is illegal and no libertarian think it should be legal.
Try not to hold it against him, he probably has massive brain damage like most Leftists.
Wait so liberals hate the central bank? I’m confused why?
Your little brother? You bout to be the only child. 😬
@@Eduardo-hg2bd sadly, it's my older brother. Trump did something to his brain. But, I was teaching his 9 yo son about fractional reserve banking when the topic came up. The future is bright.
In the old days, we waited for monthly magazines in certain industries to keep up with events and developments. Can you imagine such delay today? However, my modern day equivalent to that is waiting for the next Remy video to lift my spirits and get my foot tapping all at the same time. Bravo, Remy!
"A fool and his money are soon parted". If it's not tulips it's crypto and if it's not crypto it's NFT's. You can't regulate human stupidity and greed.
If this were the 80's these people would be buying Beanie Babies, there's a reason Warren Buffet said the stock market is about transferring money from the impatient to the patient.
But you CAN regulate against FRAUD
I mean fraud should be illegal? No? Especially when it comes to false advertising and comingling of funds? Thats why we have banking regulations, to protect the customers.
Tulips are the original crypto
i like the addition of the 1 billion powerball including the % of federal debt that is
was
That was awesome! As the saying goes..."You can't fix stupid"; but the government is going to try anyway.
As the saying goes, when they try to idiot-proof something someone will just build a better idiot.
Great! Once again, Remy combines witty political lyrics with good singing and music!❤
Common-sense Remy regulation is needed to ensure consumer access to catchy tunes.
So I found ReasonTV through Remy. But it was through his MTG Remy channel. The man is a genius with everything he does and I was glad to find out he is libertarian.
Stuff like this is why we have warnings on curling irons that say "Do not use this internally"
This is definitely in Remy's top 5!!
YEAH MAN! My boy REMY is back! Missed your music.
This is one of the best yet! Nailed it Remi!!!!
Remy with another BANGER!!!
Remy, will you please please make a blu-ray of all your videos. I want to buy and own a physical copy in case they ever get “disappeared”.
Remy parodies...pure genius and perfect timing! More regulation!!! /s
This is good. People who get it, don't need to hear it. People who don't understand are the ones who need to listen
If we just prevented failing through strict regulation then nobody would fail. Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?
The crossover we didn't we know we needed but now that I have seen it I can never forget it.
Genius. Hilarious. But at this point, I expect nothing less from this guy.
Parody.....? Just spitting truths here.
"We could end human nature with a pen stroke today." Great line hahaha. Tragic our law makers actually think this way.
An amazing video succinctly summarizing our current culture.
Wish Remy could be the POTUS! The whole world would be a better place.
I wasn't expecting g-funk to be making a comeback through crypto crashes but I approve 👍💥
This has got to be one of the best you've done, 5 stars!
Perfect ending. Shouldn't prey on the financially illiterate, unless you're talking about the state lotto.
"It's not scamming when we do it" - The government.
Generally people don't lose lots of money buying lottery tickets, generally. Unless they somehow buy hundreds of thousands of them
@@lonyo5377 I know in Texas the vast majority of Lotto tickets sold are in the poorest zip codes. Lotto tickets are overwhelmingly bought by people who really can't afford them. That is the point Remy is making.
Wow, from the title & thumbnail I was like meh, but then I heard it, and damn! This might be the best one yet!
😂😂😂 throwing the power ball in was the best part.
I was watching mtg remy and reason TV a while before I realized remy was on reason... The moment I noticed he was I was absolutely ecstatic
Step 1: regulate the NFT/crypto industry. Step 2: introduce CBDC that doesn't have to deal with the harsh regulations so that it is the best alternative to cash. Step 3: remove cash from society. Step 4: control every aspect of our lives based on what we are allowed to spend on (checkmate).
Yes and people who scam should wear an orange jumpsuit.
Why? They havent broken any laws by their standards
@@TheManinBlack9054 Make that green jumpsuits then.
👏 Bravo good sir! Pretty much every lyric is 🥇
Love the lottery line!!
Aka the stupidity tax.
@@Lonovavir the tax on poor people who can least afford it. Also a tax on people who are bad at math, but perhaps I repeat myself?
One problem with inflation is that it pushes people into higher risk investments trying to stay ahead of inflation. Commodity money makes saving simple enough that almost everyone can do it with very minimal risk.
if you could regulate away human stupidity, you wouldn't have the kind of people who think you can
Thanks Remy! These are always a blast!
Brilliant! As usual!
It is so truth!!! Please give us more of your songs! PLEASE!
I always love when these come out
Another platinum video Remy ^-^😍🥰😘
How about we just keep members of Congress from being able to buy stocks
All of them? Too hard
@@EPmager Just the ones on Pelosi's Xmas card list?
All members of Congress AND their spouses. Unfortunately, I don’t see how it’s possible to make that happen.
@@johnhogue9402 the rules already exist, but are only applied to businesses. Cut and paste FINRA rules for all of our elected officials
But I've heard that members of Congress are already banned from insider trading.
If caught, they have to pay a $200 fine, and it is kept secret from their voters...
With such a minor penalty, is it really banned?
That one is going in favorites - A work of art Remy.
Too real. This parody should get a lot of views
His MTG songs are hilarious, but these are pure 🔥🔥🔥
Man, Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin'" is one of my favorite songs ever! I wonder how many songs have sampled from it?
Remy, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I felt this fiasco could be better covered in a parody along the lines of "You Gotta Keep It Regulated!"
Holy shit, that would be excellent. I hope he saw this and is working on it. It would be extraordinarily epic.
regurgitate
regulate
I made a new word:
Regurgulate-when politicians vomit up new legislation for no good reason.
Hawk Tuah Memecoin enters the chat
This song is spittin on that thang
Great work Remy! Scooby snacks for you.
Direct hit!
Remy doesn’t suffer fools.
You are simply the best sir !!! G.O.A.T. thx so much for these
We need more Remy.
It was i who actually started the investigation from FTC because i noticed that fyx was using their money and not mine when selling shares then buying them as soon as they rose within seconds . But nope, i started taking bunch of screen shots adding the numbers against the actual public market and found the my money wasn't being used. Ftx had been choosing to cover the costs of my buying and selling instead, so that I wasn't using my money making anything back! So i told my resources, because I'm actually a professional consumer issues human rights specialist 😉
Always good stuff Remy!
another gem from my man Remy
Aww man I love this channel!!!
As usual, the problem isn't what it looks like, the problem is human nature. Idiots will always find a was to be dumb, don't hold the rest of us back trying to stop them. Remy parodies are the best.
Another great one, Remy!
Another beauty. These should have billions of views
As always pure gold!
hodler - toddler rhyme = comedy gold
Another classic. Good job Remy.
This is one of his best! 😆
Another master piece... and dont undrstan how this songs are not in sale?
Can we admit that Remy is the best at making Parody songs...
There's a sucker born every minute.
Then they go to congress
Or buy nfts
This is fine art.
Thank you ! Love Warren G!
Harding?
as much of a banger as this is, I don't think it's terrible to require crypto exchanges to release their Financials like a publically traded company would.
Fantastic as usual!
Really funny and unfortunately true for most people.
Great video. Really reminds me of EconStories. Miss those guys.
Hey, I won $8 on last night's Powerball--don't throw stones. 😁
Remy is a master of parody!
You rhymed 'hodler' with 'toddler'?! Remy got bars!
Absolute banger, as always the case with Remy
I see Remy is a big fan of regulators, like myself.
Just awesome! You got some talent! Can't stop laughing :D
I mean fraud should be illegal? No? Especially when it comes to false advertising and comingling of funds? Thats why we have banking regulations, to protect the customers.
Imagine if we just made crime illegal. Then it would all disappear.
Why haven't anyone thought about this before?
Thanks!
Remy is back! Happy Friday!!
Anyone else unsurprised that SBF is unlikely to see real time and the people who lost money probably aren't getting back squat? Or that there's virtually no media scrutiny for the 2nd largest donor to the DNC?
Love my boy Remy!
Warren G(overment) in tha house!
I was a bit coin billionaire!
These videos should be shown at schools.
'He saw a JPG, it looked in demand. So he mortgaged his house spent 400 grand', this seems so reasonable :D
My favorite rapper!!!
Brilliant! I am now a Remy fanboy :O)
National friggin’ treasure Remy is
Thank you so much for your hard work! 😊 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅
Regulators! 😂
Mount up
@@captainbaseballbatboy7915 not sure why but I can’t get this line out of my head
hey Doc, did you see the size of that chicken 😂

@@primalcolin2 it’s cause we’re in the spirit world now lol
Honestly, probably one of your best and catchiest. Fucking fantastic!
Let's not forget, Reason's Editor in Chief Nick Gillespie said that you're an idiot if you don't take the clot shot.
