Additionally, the hosts critique Feldman's upcoming Italy concert and a GoFundMe for Daisy De La Hoya as opportunistic and tone-deaf.
Key takeaways 6
Philip the Artist describes working with Corey Feldman as extremely stressful, noting that Feldman has 'way too many yes people' who enable his behavior because they seek fame or connections.
Greg is exploited by Feldman, living in his house, paying rent, and working without publishing rights, while believing Feldman is like a brother despite the abusive dynamic.
Feldman's strategy involves disarming critics by normalizing his behavior (e.g., fist-bumping critics at events) and labeling dissenters as Satanists or enemies.
Philip believes Feldman's career is sustained by Jim and Them's coverage, as Feldman relies on others to find collaborators and maintain his public image.
The Italy concert appears to be a low-effort appearance where Feldman is listed primarily for his movie credits rather than musical performance, alongside AI-generated music discussions.
A GoFundMe for Daisy De La Hoya focuses on helping her return to music rather than addressing her homelessness, which the hosts view as a misguided and exploitative angle.

“Greg is the sweetest person in the entire world. He would give the shirt off his back to anybody and he is completely taken advantage of by Corey... Greg just really thinks every record is about to like have that song. And I know that Greg has never gotten a dollar of publishing in his life.”
▶ 14:08Philip explains the exploitative nature of Greg's relationship with Corey, highlighting the financial and emotional abuse.
“He's got way too many yes people in his lives that are telling him what he wants to hear because they think that they're going to get famous or on a movie set... delusional fan.”
Philip identifies the core enabler dynamic that allows Corey to maintain his delusional self-image.
“Cory compared to a homeless guy pooping in public really isn't that bad. So he can kind of walk around here. But to answer your question, I really think that as much as it might make me feel bad, he needs to be able to go to sleep at night and realize that it's ridiculous to think that Jim and Them would ever hurt him.”
▶ 19:43Philip reflects on how Hollywood's permissiveness allows Corey's behavior to continue unchecked.
“The goal should be she's she's homeless. She was recently had headlines going around because she said she was like applying at McDonald's and stuff and couldn't even get a job... But this fundraiser is not about merch. It's about helping Daisy and Faith... relaunch her music career.”
▶ 36:37Hosts critique the framing of Daisy De La Hoya's GoFundMe, pointing out the disconnect between her immediate needs (homelessness) and the stated goal (music career).
