1064. Andy & DJ CTI: Iran Terror Plot Fears, Nor'easter Slams East Coast & Rising NASCAR Star Attacked
Episode of REAL AF with Andy Frisella · September 29, 2026 · 1 h 25 min
Andy Frisella and DJ discuss a foiled suspected Iranian plot at RAF Fairford, Andrew Bailey's FBI resignation, voter demoralization, a Nor'easter, sports fights and a pulled GoFundMe.
Summary
In this "Cruise the Internet" episode, Andy Frisella and DJ opened with banter about a New York Magazine men's style issue featuring Elliot Page, which led Frisella to offer style advice centered on getting clothes tailored. DJ then presented reports of a farmer who spotted masked men in vans near RAF Fairford, a base used by the U.S. Air Force, and noted that the arrested suspects, described as British nationals, had been released on bail. DJ argued that this meant either the UK did not care about U.S. interests or someone was complicit.
DJ also discussed the resignation of Andrew Bailey from the FBI, whom both hosts called a friend. Frisella speculated that Bailey found the institution too corrupt, and broadened the discussion into what he described as the demoralization of voters. He argued that Donald Trump's statements on prices, Iran and the Epstein files, along with influencers shaming non-voters, were depressing Republican turnout, and said that if Republicans lost the midterms the fault would lie with Trump and the party. He nonetheless urged people to vote, arguing that high turnout makes cheating harder.
The hosts covered a Nor'easter hitting the East Coast, including a dogfish swimming in flooded New Jersey streets, and mocked protesters standing in the storm. With the producer, they discussed appearance, fitness and first impressions; Frisella expressed distrust of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and speculated about hidden alien bases in the ocean. They then covered a fight involving NASCAR driver Corey Heim and the suspension of South Carolina pass rusher Dylan Stewart, with Frisella attributing the suspension to insubordination and faulting the coaches' handling while praising the player's competitiveness.
In the closing "thumbs up or dumb as fuck" segment, DJ recounted how GoFundMe removed a fundraiser for 81-year-old Texas delivery driver Don Johnson after his daughter was revealed as the organizer. Frisella called GoFundMe inconsistent, and argued that the case exposed the tax system, which he described as a tool of oppression that keeps working Americans struggling.

Listen from 11:44 · Physical appearance and first impressions
- DJ
DJ argues that releasing the suspects on bail means either the UK does not care about U.S. interests or someone is complicit in the plot.
“Somebody's fucking in on it because nobody's releasing some alleged terrorists on fucking bail”
- Andy Frisella

“he got in there and the fucking web and the mess was so corrupt and so dirty and so bad that he didn't want a fucking part of it”
- Andy Frisella

“No one in America gives a fuck about Iran having a nuke”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella says that if Republicans lose the midterms, the blame lies solely with Trump and the Republicans, not with disillusioned voters.
“If the Republicans get their asses beat in midterms, it is nobody's fault except Trump and the Republicans”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella says he will still vote because he believes high turnout can overcome the margin that can be cheated.
“I believe that they can cheat a certain percentage. And I believe that if that percentage is, if the votes exceed that percentage, then they cannot cheat”

“He's a major reason that this country was not turned into a fucking communist wasteland back in 2020”

- Andy Frisella
Frisella says Stewart was suspended for ignoring his coaches, not for the punch.
“I think the reason he got suspended was insubordination”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella partly blames South Carolina's coaches for escalating the situation instead of calming Stewart down.
“And so I hold the coaches responsible a little bit for how they responded”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella argues that an elderly man working to pay his wife's medical bills shows the failure of the American dream.
“an 81 year old man should be having to carry around luggage and deliver luggage in order to pay for his fucking wife's medical bills”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella says GoFundMe's removal of the Johnson fundraiser is inconsistent with its past handling of other fundraisers.
“Could see why you know, they're trying to protect the integrity but their past actions haven't protected the integrity”
- Andy Frisella
Frisella claims taxation is designed to keep people struggling so they are less likely to revolt.
