Disneyland sized cry outs and they have shut down like elsewhere.
You are not allowed to drive there anymore. There's not enough. Yeah,
there's just not enough. They weren't expecting that many people.
Usually they have way more flowers than people, and right

(02:12):
now they have about as many people. Were like two
years ago, you were you caught the waves because back
then it was like a few people bothered to go,
and I think now people are this year like is

And it's like, you know, if you don't go, what
are you even do? And for people who don't know
the super bloom because California, Southern California is physically we
don't get any water that when it does, the poppies

bloom in certain areas, and it's breathtaking because we have
I mean, by far, unquestionably the best state flower, which
is the golden California poppy on orange. It's beautiful and
it grows in these It's got like kind of blue
green leaves, and it grows in these huge swaths and
it just looks like somebody spilled a bunch of orange
dust on the hillside. It's crazy. I mean, it's really

(05:01):
and Z that gang out there. Yeah. Uh Well, we're
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
of things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about
how completely fucked you are if you've ever had a single, one,
just one. We're gonna talk about Movie Past being back
for some reason. We're gonna talk about Devin Nunez suing

(05:22):
his mom. We're gonna talk about how the Florida House
of Representatives is circumventing the bill allowing felons to vote.
We're going to talk about New Zealand's response to the
terror texts and just the continued fall up from the
college emissions scandal. Just generally more like my now that

(05:43):
I'm paying attention to college admissions, just how yeah, it's
going to be any college by the time your kids
get That's true. It's true. Let's just take a pill, right,
that's right. What do you want to master's degree in
philosophy here? Oh wait, no, mix that with this one.
That's exactly what people would want to make more practical

(06:03):
getting a master's degree in philosophy by ingesting it. You
already fucking vapor master's degree in philosophy. That's already the kid.
But first, sorry, Jim, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? My search history?
You wanna you want to know the real deal, the

(06:23):
real meat. What's in my real search history and not
something that I came up with, you know, to do
a bit how to kill soil fungus? I got. I
got a garden bed and it's full of soil fungus
and I had to find out because nothing will grow
in it. What's soil fungus? Can you see it? Yeah?
It's like white stuff in the soul. That ship is okay?
That makes that looks like yeah, it looks like fungus
and it grows in the soil. So I have to, like,

(06:45):
I have to like put a white put a clear
sheet over it and let it get super hot, which
you know is going to happen in two days, and
so I gotta get a really really hot in there
to kill the fungi. Yeah, okay, they like it warm,
but they don't like it hot exactly. So just dealing
with some soil problems over on Cossa June. Yeah, you
normally gardens. I'm oh yeah, oh yeah, we talked about this.

(07:05):
Me and your mom were garden hose, garden garden, garden homes.
Due my rugla is flowering. It makes these little white flowers.
They're so pretty. And we got kale, we got cauliflower,
We got a rugla. We got radishes. I got some
radishes going. I grew my first radishes very excitedly. Don't

(07:27):
garden in southern California. You're missing out? Are you gardening?
But if you don't, because grows ten months, it's crazy. Yeah,
you just accidentally gross stuff. No, I grew stuff. I
mean I grew all this stuff over. I'm sorry, like
for people who are in the polar vortex, but I

(07:47):
grew this stuff in the winter. Right, But you know
it's going to be a hundred degrees for about three months,
and that rain, in addition to causing a super bloom,
just causes everything to look like Hawaii. Now. Yeah, it's
weird to drive through this pull over the past, especially
because that's just brown and dusty. And I'm like, where
the funk am I the Is this a garden like

(08:08):
in the ground or is it like a bed? I
have a raised bed. I have to eight foot long
raised beds. And I'm about to make some raised rose
in my in my other garden. I mean, I should
just have a gardening podcast. I just built a big
compost pen. Yeah, and I I cut down a whole
bunch of ship in my yard. I weeded and I
put all the weeds in the compost because I haven't
seated yet. Don't get on my ass. Compost people. You know,

(08:30):
I don't know about compost squad. I went to I
went to Portland and they were like, you know, I
tried to like throw away an apple core and the
person I was staying with it was like, oh, you know,
we compost actually, and I was like, okay, cool, and
she was like, I know, it's like that Portlandia sketch
where it's you know, here's here's where you put your plastic,
and here's where you put your paper, and here's where
you compost this and that, And I was like, bitch,
I know what compost is. Like, we have compost in
Lass like I lived in I lived in Austin. Like

(08:52):
I had in Austin, I had a guy bike to
my home every week with a big bucket, pick up
my kitchen scraps, take them to a commu indie garden.
Like that's how composts compost friendly on You ain't ship
Portland's wait for compost twitter to come for you. Peddlers

(09:13):
get it? Oh shit? Yeah? And then do they peddle
their wares to the gardens too? They take your kitchen
scraps to a big community gardens. Are they flipping that
for money? No, that's where I mean. I pay them
to do that, to take your away. Yeah, pay them
to take away and then they give me free compost.
Well it's not free, a paid right right right? You know,
Oh they'll take it. They make compost bring you back
some ready made composts. When they come by your house,

(09:34):
do they ring a bellance they bring out You're dead happy?
What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Um? I
just started watching Larry Charles's Dangerous World of Comedy, and
oh boy, I can't believe no one told me to
watch that before. Someone One of our guests a few
weeks ago, Johann Miranda, was on Larry Charles's Dangerous World

(09:54):
of Comedy. Oh yeah, goes like, it's really good, dude.
I got so high and I watched the first episode
and and this isn't a spoiler. It's about the first
episode is about comedians in war zones. And so they
talked to some comedians in Iraq and they talk about
like these guys that ran a prank show in Iraq

(10:15):
where they were like they tried to prank other Iraqi
celebrities into thinking they were going to jail, and then
they were like just kidding. And then then they go
to Liberia, and I didn't know shit about Liberia, and
basically Liberia is the wild fucking West, Like it's just
gangs fighting gangs and all these incredibly crazy war lords

(10:36):
that are cannibalistic and they do realistic killings, yes, and
they other wild nicknames. And so this a guy named
General Butt Naked and like, so there's mosquito spray. It's
pretty violent. But then on the show they verbally described
some even more horrific violent acts that they don't show you,
but the verbal description is so rough. Man, I did
not sleep for a couple of days. Liberia is not

(10:59):
anything to around with. And there's comedians, there's women doing
comedy in Liberia, right, what's that like as a comedian
when you're like, you're like man in Austin, they come
get your compost and you're like, yeah, no, I'm like, oh,
I gotta step up because out here, I'm like I
don't want to drive to the valley for a month.
And then like these women are like, oh, yeah, you know,
I saw like I saw some really horrific ship and

(11:20):
all my friends died, and like, you know, you just
got to make people laugh because we're very lucky that
we didn't get killed. So Larry the premise of the
show for anybody you didn't hear the previous episode where
we mentioned it is Larry Charles is the guy who
directed Borat and was the main person on Seinfeld as
Boo Just a comedy Luminary has done a documentary series

(11:44):
where he goes around to other cultures and sees what
comedy is in those different cultures and a lot of
them are like very dark and violent places, and doesn't
he interview General butt naked. Yes, yeah, that's the one
in the In the first he's doing too much that
he's doing vice videos. I see General everywhere. He says

(12:04):
he's he's an ex war lord. He talks about how
he just like after killing literally hundreds of people with
his hands, like howd it come to Jesus moment and
was like, maybe I shouldn't kill humans anymore. Uh, maybe
I shouldn't kill children. Yeah, it's it's really intense. And
then the later episodes he's got some stuff about like

(12:25):
more like minorities in the US. H L a comedian
who I love, Johann Miranda is on episode four. He's
an undocumented immigrant. He talks about being an undocumented immigrant
on stage. You know, he's like a DACA guy. So
it was great to see him. I got real X.
I didn't know he was going to be Uh, yeah,
it's it's really good. You know, they talked to some
like Muslim comedians and what that's like. But you know,

(12:46):
stand up is such a weird American thing. Stand up
is very in any other culture in the world. To
go on stage and talk about your personal life and
your family is considered embarrassing. Or dangerous, So like, yeah,
so it's really cool to see, like, you know, American
culture is is, America's an empire and we're a cultural
empire too, and like it's so weird to see like

(13:07):
Iraqi's doing stand up colm right, you know, like that's
an American thing, it's an American art form, and it's
very very cool to see other cultures like take on it.
Basically very interesting. So put that in your queue. But
then you underrated Larry Charles's Dangerous World. What is something
you think is overrated? Kathy Griffin out here, Get the
funk out of your Kathy Griffin. So you know how

(13:28):
like uh, like this Muslim girl at n y U
that was like, you know, like at a vigil for
the New Zealand, Clinton pulled up to Chelsea Clinton and
you know, had strong words for like an extremely rich woman,
essentially saying like, because you hopped on the ilhan Omar's
comments are anti Semitic, You're you're feeding is homophobia saying,
which is in my opinion, absolutely true. And Chelsea Clinton's like,

(13:50):
Chelsea Clinton straight up hits her with the I'm sorry
you feel that, and she didn't lay hands on Chelsea Clinton.
That's a saint, you know. But but Kathy Griffin tweeted
at that woman at the at the Muslim woman who
was getting hate male she was gonna always hate emails,
and she tweeted she was like, you know, people are
bullying me online. It's whatever. Kathy Griffin quote tweets her

(14:11):
and is like, you think this is bullying, I'll show
you bullying, you fucking pussy. Kathy Griffin called this woman
a pussy online. What Griffin out? I mean, yeah, one,
it's like you took the wild risk with your decapitated
head and effigy photo and you cried in public and
cried in public. Meanwhile, this one is being like fifty

(14:32):
people were killed in a mosque and too much, and
we're we're combating Islamophobia and people being disingenuous about people's
commentary around Israel's policies, saying that's anti Semitic. His feet, Wow,
that's not okay. Gather Griffin out, like, no, I don't
have the patience you know this lady. I mean, she
hasn't been doing much recently, you know, like has she

(14:54):
been a comedian for a long time? Yes? Like do
you does she need to be bullying a woman in
more learning on Twitter, No bitch, get a job. Not.
What is a myth? What's something people think is true,
you know to be false? Uh something that I think
people is people think is true that I know to
be false. Uh, well this is this is kind of

(15:15):
a big one. I'm gonna lay a big one. I
think A big myth that is maybe used to be
true and is no longer true is that entertainment has
to be controlled by huge corporations just because they're the
only things we've ever known to make entertainment. Now that
we have the Internet, people are like, whoa, you can
just make stuff and people will watch it, you know.
Now that we have Patreon, we have all these like
independent creators, you know, and what YouTube kind of used

(15:38):
to be, which was like just make your ship and
if people like it, then they'll give you money. Um.
But I think now that that's not really it's not
true anymore that you need to be like a huge
evil corporation to make TV. And Uh, what I've been
working on recently is I'm working with this channel to
be called Means TV that they want to be an
entertainment streaming platform online. But it's not a corporation. It's

(16:00):
a worker cooperative. It's a work around cooperative. And they
want to like make the kind of ship that you'll
never see on Amazon because Amazon will never have a
documentary about how Amazon is evil, and like Netflix will
never have a documentary about how like the billionaires that
owned Netflix straight up do not pay taxes like or
underpay people. And the guys being like, oh, this isn't
traditional content. It's digital, so we're not going to pay unions. Yeah,

(16:22):
and it's like, you know, where where are you going
to go for like entertainment and news of that kind
of like go to vice vices? Is weird, all right? Thing?
It's like really everything's got some crazy like shadow money
behind it. So I've been you know, working with this
channel this Uh they're a production company. They made like
all these campaign videos, they made the Alexandria Cosio Cortest
campaign video, and now they want to make fucking TV

(16:42):
shows And I'm like ship yeah, and also probably way
more sustainable than a corporation, which feels like they need
to always like grow. Yeah, I mean crazy thing is
like Netflix is operating at a deficit, Hulu is operating
who lost a one point five billion last year. They're
just getting that money from Disney and like, so is
very cool. They're trying to raise money through it's like

(17:02):
a subscription based thing, and then they're also doing a
fundraiser that starts on the twenty one. So they're going
to be releasing a bunch of content for like ten
weeks on my YouTube channel. If you like noon Cat,
if you were subscribed to my channel, people don't know,
you're gonna start getting this propaganda bab People don't know
Sarah created Yanket. My YouTube channel is home to uh,
you know, Internet Internet faith. Yon Cat I'm going to say, yeah,

(17:27):
I can't describe is an old meme. Yon Cat is
a meme Fromleven. It's like a gift of a cat
and it's you know, dancing through space and there's a
song and you know rainbow. You know your kids love it.
You've seen it before. You know, Cosmo tried to cancel YANCT.
Cosmo tried to cancel They said Yanket is canceled Cosmo
the magazine. Yeah, why they try to care, I don't know. Said.

(17:49):
Very problematic is that where people like, have you seen
yanket does not hold up? I want to feel old,
just cut with like a swastika. We didn't notice that
ship started watching other YouTube videos real. Yeah, so yeah,

(18:11):
I'm very excited about that. That's kind of like my
big It's kind of like it's a weird pitch. You know,
it was like what if Netflix wasn't like kind of evil. Yeah,
I'm excited about that too. That sounds awesome. Check it out.
All right, guys, let's talk about soda sody pop where
you're from? What century? Because nobody calls it sody popping,

(18:33):
but so SSBs is what we're referring to them, sugar
sweetened beverages. About the carbonation part, what's anything? It's mostly
they're not It's not just so it's like the wild
sugary drinker. We're just talking about sugar water, sugar waters,
gatorades even, you know, like gatorade, wacky juices. There's a
lot of sugar and gatorade. Yeah, it's just sports drinks.

(18:56):
I mean it's not like as well, my teeth with
skin like that's what I treat get rid as water.
I know you Yeah, you take that mouth guard. You
just put a little bit of rip tide Russian there
and yellow Yeah. Yeah, dude. So this study comes out
from Harvard. I think everyone had always known. Our parents
had always been like, so does bad for you? And

(19:17):
if you had an immigrant parents, y'all, they said that
she was the devil. My mom would never let me drink.
So yeah, and I had to sneak off to my
white neighbor's house to be like, can I have a sprite?
Oh you know when I got coke? Birthday? Oh? Really birthday?
That's it? Like eight ball or just a Graham. Pretty
sick parenting anyway. So this this study comes out that

(19:38):
basically was showing that like any you know, depending on
how many sodas you drink, the more you drink can
increase your risks of dying from any cause, not just
something specifically, just like in general. There's linking that to
you know, lower life expectancy. So they're saying this is
from this study says compared to drinking sugar, sweet and
beverages less than once per month, drinking one to four

(19:59):
sugary drinks per month, that was linked with a one
percent increased risk, two to six per week, six percent
increased risk, one to two per day increased risk, drinks
per day A lot of motherfucker's are yes. So the
first question I had does this transfer to diet sodas? Okay,
So cut to there's a study from the American Heart

(20:21):
Association that's said drinking drinking two or more of any
kind of artificially sweet and drinks. So when a caveat
here is this They've noticed that in the study that
these drinks tend to affect women more than they hold
on to your butts, because just drinking to a day
can increase your risk of a clock based stroke or

(20:42):
heart attack pretty significantly. Someone get me a damn eighteen pack.
I want to die, especially if you're over fifties. So again,
these aren't like just saying it's they're they're not saying
to treat this as like a monoth right, like everyone
has different health situations, different exercise routines or whatever. But
in general, they're just saying, like, if you just let
it rock and you're you're drinking wild sodas all the time,
then maybe it will wear you down. All I'm hearing

(21:04):
from this is that this is a socially acceptable way
to drink yourself to death exactly. Hell yeah, yeah, you
won't shoot yourself in public? Yeah, you can go to
work and drink sodas. Nobody says ship. I'm like, I'm
pouring coke in my whiskey bottle. Yeah yeah, more bad
news for white people. Juice is also just sugar water.

(21:26):
It turns out you have moms. That what's going on?
You guys just do Americans just not have money? Just
I thought I thought orange juice was just juice, was
just orange orange heal liquid. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well that's
that's real bad for you. I think. Also, when you're
drinking a big glass of yogurt, I know we've got
the kaffir or whatever, kaffir keefer? How do you call that?

(21:49):
We don't know. We still don't know what. I don't know, man,
my throat is too clogged up. It's so freaking I'm
so fum. I can't believe you guys have keefer in
the office. It's so we're out here, you know what
I think it is though, it's probably like our parents,
not like growing up outside of the United States. They
grew up, especially my mom, the US bombed ship out
of Japan, so they're like, what are they doing over there?

(22:10):
Like soda? I don't know, although now you know Japanese
sodas are so fucking sweet it will I little preserve
your insides if that's a thing with sugar. But but
they treat it as like a novelty like KFC, like
it's not a daily staple of the diet. Well, you know,
on a continuum, people are gaining weight there because more
sugary foods and more you know, like processed foods are

(22:33):
entering the Japanese diet. But you know, but culturally, like
that's not a that's not a thing that you just
like keeping your well, there's a lot more like there's
a lot more awareness of basic nutrition in pretty much
almost every other country, and a lot of that I
think has to do with poverty. You know, it just
has to do with like when you're poor and you
only have a few things to eat, like you can't

(22:53):
really funk up, you know. And I was like, oh,
let's get that fried cheeseburger. And also, you know, like
nutritionally speaking versus for this price, soda gives you like nothing,
you know, it's just fun to drink sugar, you know,
tastes good. But like, but I think soda companies target
people like lower income fa with their marketing and assume

(23:14):
that there's like an information desert and a nutrition dessert.
So yeah, you know, it happens in both ways, I think.
But yeah, and that's why it's the rise of the
Seltzer water space. But I honestly think that like white
Americans like just having no sense of like that juice
is bad or that soda is bad, is just like

(23:36):
there's no tradition that they're latched onto. It's also why
our food is fast. It's like there's not a traditional
but everybody's eating unhealthy though I don't think white people
on that, but I'm out here thinking, you know, my
grandma thought juice was good too. I mean, juice is good,
like I mean, it is delicious. I mean, if you're
comparing juice to soda, obviously just for you, but not

(23:58):
that much better. Right. Well, it's like, you know, I
feel like every other culture of the world is like,
oh yeah, fruit is candy. Fruit is candy, and then
you also have candy which is made of sugar. Right.
But but I guess like white American culture is sort
of like fruit is a vegetable and candy is a food.
That's there, you go. That's how I was raised and
I'm sticking to it. We'll get into Fox and Friends

(24:20):
later because they were drinking milkshakes in Times Square. Cannot
wait for the conservatives to be drinking big gulps in
protest of this cultural Marxism against soda. Yeah, just straight
up canning cancer to own the lip. Alright, we're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be right back. And we're back,

(24:47):
and Devin Nunez is back of the headlines. He is
suing his mom. Okay, sorry I missed right now. I
guess I didn't do enough research on this story. He's
suing Twitter for two fifty dollars million. Okay, that makes sense, right,
because he thinks that Twitter was artificially holding him down

(25:10):
and shadow Yeah, yeah, he's what he claims, which is
the most like sensible part of his suit. The other
parts of his suit are like, people were mean to
me on Twitter. People tweeted at my mom. Well no, no,
So here's the thing. He's suing Twitter, and then he's
suing two anonymous Twitter users at Devin nonez mom and
at Devon's cow. It's not my cow. A political consultant,

(25:35):
her name is Liz Mayer, who's a Republican political consultant
for and like all these accounts in this woman Liz Merit,
he's suing them for defamation and then accusing Twitter of
shadow baning him and other conservatives. And then he's just
saying like, oh, this is just the beginning. I am
suing so many people. A lot of people are like,
this is just a stunt, because let's be real, this
isn't gonna hold up, Like it's They're not the first

(25:55):
person to sue Twitter, right exactly. And also for defamation,
you think people like has to pass the first thing
where people would be like, oh, this is at Devin
noon as mom is actually at Devon. Noonezs mom who
says he has her face, you know what I mean?
And when you read the mother and this is a
dead on impression my mother, there is no way, right,

(26:16):
And so it goes on. You know. More specifically, he's
saying that Twitter quote intended to generate and proliferate false
and defamatory statements about him and influence the midterms, was
trying to intimidate him, uh, you know, during his investigations.
Blah blah blah. Everyone's just sort of laughing it off. Now,
like when you really look at some of the things, right,
it's really absurd, like Devin Noon his mom or Devin

(26:36):
cow I can't remember. One of the anonymous account posted
like a meme of like a human centipede with Putin
at that at the top, than Trump, than Devon Nounez,
and he was like, oh, this is this is defamatory.
They're like, are you actually y'all hooked up in a
weird medical experiment like that? Um? Then he points there's
like points to tweets like from at Devon cow Sadly
it says hanging out on the dairy in Iowa looking

(26:58):
for the little treas and his cow poke is the
is the bio of Devin cow Um, which has followers.
And another one says Devin's boots are full of manure.
Oh boy, god, you might go to jail, sir might
report that his boots are full of Yeah. This other
one he's utterly worthless and it's past your time to

(27:19):
move him to prison. Deserves being sued. That's bad. Yeah,
well so these people are not I don't think you
got it so moved? Does that change anything? Still terrible? Yeah? Okay,
lazy put So he's going on, you know, saying, we
gotta we have to figure out who's behind these accounts
because like pretending to be my mother and my cow.

(27:41):
And he says, because quote the corruption of American democracy
and society by intentional falsehoods, fraud, and defamation must stop.
So I'm so glad that the handle at Devin Nun's
mom is making it into a court talk. I know,
but in the actual criminal and the complaint in the
lawsuit says, the identity of those behind these Twitter accounts
is a matter of great public and earned whether the
accounts are controlled by wealthy Democrats, the Democratic National Committee,

(28:04):
and opposition research firm such as Fusion GPS. I don't
know what he's trying to see this, trying to connect
this to this deal. Does the d n C is
not this good at Twitter? It's definitely not that. And
then then says or quote the Russians or quote the
Chinese with quote I don't know why it's quoted, or
some other foreign government or non governmental organization. The coruption

(28:26):
anyway goes on blah blah blah. So I like that
he's even trying to be like, could be Fusion GPS.
I don't know, y'all, yo, I don't know. I think
the Koch brothers are tweeting at me. It's it's really
really but it's a pathetic one. Yeah. And also like
when you look at when he talks about, oh, you know,
I'm getting shadow band, like you know, when when you
actually look at like why the metrics are low for

(28:46):
certain people. Twitter has an algorithm in the wake of
all the bottery that was going on that when you
interact at the bottery, thank you. When you're when people
interact with fringe accounts what they consider fringe accounts, repeatedly
they say, oh, that's someone who's interacting with sensational fake news,
and it's probably like, this isn't the kind of user
that it's. That's sort of a safe fail safe to

(29:09):
be like, that's how we're going to try and curb it.
Because you're interacting with accounts that are you couldn't just
remove the Nazis. That would be crazy. No, of course,
god right, but they did really good at getting rid
of those ices accounts. So if you're interacting with bots,
you get flagged. And yeah, because so many conservative accounts
are bots, and because they are parati their followers or

(29:29):
retweeting bought tweets. Then they're like, oh, you're trying to
amplify this user, yeah, but but avoiding even considering that
and just being like, oh, I mean look at what
look at was that we're getting deep stated, right? Yeah? Yeah,
Because as you're going deep state, someone's pretending to be
my cow, I mean real cow is furious. A journalist

(29:55):
tried to look into there. There was something with Devin
nung Is this family claiming to be from California, but
they actually own a dairy farm that they had moved
to I think Iowa or Idaho, And a journalist tried
to look into it and Devon doing his actual mom
and his actual cow like tried to intimidate this person

(30:15):
and basically like start talking to people in the town
to like tell them that they would be like in trouble.
It was like very like menacing. They were like shadowing
him everywhere and ship like. So the stuff that again
just you always have to know whatever conservatives are accusing
other people of, like that is what they do, uh,

(30:35):
and bullying in real life, yeah, exactly. And also like
when you think about that dairy farm, there's a lot
of you know, they're like they may be employing undocumented immigrants. Yeah,
that was kind of the idea behind the story, is
he was going to look, so this family just doesn't
ever talk about the fact that Devon doing is is
their son, like they it's just like removed from all

(30:58):
their documents. And he was like there's yeah. Yeah, so
he went and looked into it, and no, wonder it's
because he's first of all, and the family is not
actually in California where he claims, and also his back
story about like being a pull himself up as bootstraps
thing as bullshit. And also they employed tons of undocumented workers.

(31:19):
And that's the paradoxical, uh, you know world we live
in where people on one hand going to be like, oh,
we gotta do something about this, like and they're my employees. Yeah. California,
California Republicans and farm owners got a little bit of
a bite in the ass from from voting for Trump.
They were like, wait a second, Wait a second, I
thought you were going to take away the other the

(31:39):
other illegal immigrant, not the ones that I there's other ones,
the ones at the border that are the rape ones.
Not that all my all, my chattel. Yeah, it's really
it's really just it's pretty funny. I mean really, yeah, no,
honestly it is. And then just to see the like

(32:01):
response from his family to be like trying to keep tony.
I mean, nothing says, you know, I murdered Devon's brothers
and buried them in the cow shed, like following around
a reporter and being like, no thing's going on here,
but you just go and if you talk, you're in trouble.
Yeah yeah, yeah, very normal family. So I wanted to
just check in with New Zealand in the response to

(32:23):
the terror attack. I just there's been some interesting stories.
First of all, there's the faith blurring at the arraignment
that I had assumed was, you know, them trying to
just cover the person who did the killing up so
that he wouldn't get the publicity that he was clearly

(32:44):
after I mean, he fucking live streamed the terror attack.
But it's actually right. It's apparently they do that because
they want to, like there's a New Zealand law that
says they have to do that in order to give
the person a fair trial, which doesn't really make sense
because it is even though the face of the word,

(33:06):
I'm like, he looks like a redheaded white person right
with suremises, But I'm so curious, like what they would
do if it was someone with darker skin, Like what
good does that do? Because if people's bias is going
to be like yeah, you know, general like in any
other case, right, if it were someone like if you're
not fully obscuring, you can still glean like so like

(33:27):
everybody that makes it onto a jury knows what you did.
I mean, what well the weird? I mean, look, I
think any any attempt to try and incurb bias, you know,
I think it is commendable. A good one, by the way,
on the upside down, thank you. But the earth is round? Okay, yeah,
nice tray. Their Prime Minister is not mentioning his name

(33:50):
when discussing the terre attack because you know, in kind
of keeping with the idea that this is what he
and his cause is for people to rally around him.
Uh So that's kind of dopen, I think. And he
was slashing the white power sign of his arrayment exactly.
And then another kind of angle that people have taken

(34:12):
and covering the attack is looking at gun laws because
New Zealand has said we're going to make our gun
laws stricter and so they've compared New Zealand's gun laws
to Japan's and the United States. They did like sixteen
different countries and it's pretty wild. Like so New Zealand

(34:33):
is basically the most lax besides the United States. And
they have a seven step process. Pass a background check,
provide a character reference authorities, interview or advise in person
your partner or next of kin. You pass a home
security inspection that checks for proper firearms storage, take a
gun safety course, wait for approval for a firearms license,

(34:56):
which could take weeks or months, and then number seven,
you get to buy a gun. I think what's interesting
those in part of that background check does look at
your medical and mental health history, whereas even like the
US background check is like are you a criminal or immigrant? Well,
you know, that's kind of a like that's a to me,
a gray area of gun law that I am not

(35:18):
really sure how I feel about it, because it's like,
all right, if you're just gonna you know, everybody who's
ever had had mental health issues, you know, that's that's
a health thing. What I mean, It's like it's kind
of skirts the line for me of like policing what
kind of people can have guns and what kind of
people can't. But I also see the sense in it absolutely.

(35:38):
I think if you take it in like in its totality, right,
it's like, oh, you have, you know, some kind of
mental health issues with a history of domestic violence and that. Yeah,
but there's plenty of mental illness that doesn't like involve
I don't know, maybe maybe not. I know, I don't yeah,
I know, I know. I know what you're saying, like
not to just immediately be like, okay, you just because
of this, you may have suffered from depression or something

(35:59):
that for But I think either way, I think because
the US version, what is just step one pull up
with cash to buy gun. Yeah, I'm anti stigmatizing mental health,
but I'm i error on the side of police state
when it comes to giving people guns. Uh, funny you
should say police because I mean that's like, you know,
there are two ways to get a gun in the US.

(36:21):
Want to pull up by a gun to become a
police Like you just get a gun. They just give
you a gun. They like, don't do ship. You know,
it's like really easy to like join ice or whatever.
They'll just give you a gun. American civilians own nearly
one hundred times as many firearms as the US military
and nearly four hundred times as many as law enforcement.

(36:41):
Wa wait, wait say that first part again. American civilians
own a hundred times as many firearms as the military
and four hundred times as many as law enforcement. So
power to the people. Yet some thoughts. Japan has a
thirteen step process that involves training, and it's basically the equivalent.

(37:02):
More they get more, Like Japanese civilians get more gun
training than American police officers do. Right, and also like
it's on par with what you need to learn to drive,
which you would firearm class. Boom. Get a doctor's note
saying you're mentally fit and you're not a drug addict. Three,
Apply for a permit, take firing training. Could take a month.

(37:24):
Describing a police interview why you need a gun. I
think that's fair. Pass a review of your criminal history,
gun possession record, employment, blah blah blah. Six. Six apply
for a gunpowder permit. Damn you gotta get be like yo,
you need the permit for the powder to my uh. Seven?
Yeah right? Take one, take a one day training class
and passive firing test. Then obtain a certificate from a

(37:44):
gun dealer describing the gun you want. Then if you
want a gun for hunting, apply for a hunting license.
Then buy a gun safe and an ammunition locker that
meets safety regulations, allow the police inspector gun storage pass
an additional background review. Then by a gun. Yeah it
sounds pretty chill, but you know they have a lot
of airsoft guns out there, right, so oh my man.
As a kid, I was like the matrix came out,

(38:06):
I was like I need all these yeah, and then
like I remember bringing him back the like t s
A was like, what is going on in your luggage? Oh? Yeah,
well didn't there was there? Who can remember, but there was.
There was a guy that was killed. Was it the
guy in the Walmart? He was like carrying an airsoft
gun around. There's a black guy in a walmarting an
airsoft gun and they just shot him in the back.

(38:28):
No AIRSOFTT Like, There's been a few problems here too,
because they had to like orange tips even like the
imports that were coming in from Japan, because too many
people like they have real very hyper basically very realistic weapons.
Realistic what's crazy? Like I think they you know, they
try and make airsoft guns look more threatening because it's
like for the game, but it just makes it look

(38:48):
like you have a guy. Yeah, and I think in Japan,
because you can't really get firearms that easily. Like there's
just like this secondary like culture of being like we
team up, we shoot our little plastic BB's of ship,
we play, you know, dress up. We don't need we
don't need real bang bangs, right right, it seems fair.
It seems like, I don't know, how do you guys

(39:08):
feel about guns? What do you I mean? I grew up.
I grew up around guns and responsible gun owners who
like drilled into me to respect firearms. So on one hand,
I definitely understand people who who use guns have owned
guns and are responsible with them or like yo, like
I'm not one of these people sucking it up. And

(39:30):
then on the other hand, I see many people who
are totally reckless, people who should not be having weapons
or certain kinds of weapons, and I'm like, what, where
the funk do we I feel that at the very
least we have to begin some process of limiting the
means for people who are going to have a high
probability of using guns violently. For sure, I think as

(39:52):
like a first step you can you can then figure out.
I mean, I don't know how you could possibly d
arm the country, Like that's just not gonna I don't
think it's gonna. I don't think that's gonna happen. Jack,
How do you feel from a theoretical perspective, I think
the idea of gun ownership like drastically overestimates how mentally
stable like humans are. Like, I don't think people should

(40:15):
be able to have guns. Guns are just out of
our technology. You should be able to go down to
a clubhouse and like talk to somebody and be like, Okay,
here's why I want the gun, Here's what I'm gonna
use it for. But like to have it like just
for suicide alone, Like people make rash decisions and end
their life when like if they had waited two minutes,

(40:35):
they would have not ended their life. So I just
don't think they should. We just gotta press rewind. Yeah,
practically speaking, I don't think there's anything we can do.
But from a theoretical perspective, like that's where I stand.
I don't think they Handora's box has been blown the funks,
I mean, especially when you read that stat like four

(40:55):
hundred times the weapons of the military. I don't know
if you guys know this, but we have a pretty
big military. Yea, yeah, it's it's it's always interesting to
me when people compare, uh, you know, how how easy
it is to get a gun in America than in
other countries, because America is, as far as I know,
is the only country you know, with in our charter,

(41:17):
like the right to own a gun. It's like one
of our founding values and the whole Like I mean,
you know, we're a colony that rebelled, and we couldn't
have rebelled unless we had a bunch of guns and
could shoot the government. You know. That was like how
America became its own country. But I did not grow
up with guns, Like I'm from California, you know, like
I'm not from the country, and uh, I didn't grow

(41:37):
up with guns. I didn't. I didn't know anybody who
had a gun. And then I moved to Texas and
everybody has five guns and they were all their great grandfathers,
you know, And it was really interesting to see, like,
you know, people that I would consider real normal, like honestly,
not even people that were into hunting or anything like that, um,
you know, stuff that I'm not involved in hobbies that
I don't have them involved guns just being like yeah,

(42:00):
you know, like guns on the wall even and it's
like so it was it was a real trip for
me to see like how how much guns are embedded
in in white American culture, particularly and you know, the
idea that that we should disarm everybody but the police
is is problematic to me because it's like, like I said,

(42:22):
it's not that hard to become a police officer. So
like if you if let's say it was like we
passed strong gun control in America, which I don't again,
I don't think it's going to happen. Um, but let's
say we repeal the Second Amendment and everybody has to
give their gun back, and the only people that get
to have a gun or the cops. Everyone that wants
a gun is just gonna become a cop. You know. Again,
it's not that hard to become a cop, Like they'll

(42:43):
just give you a gun. You know, people don't have guns,
the cops don't need guns. That's the issue also be disarmed. Yeah,
now that's what I'm saying. With the repeal of the
Second Amendment. Yeah, I mean in the UK and in
like Ireland, like cops don't have guns, well they do,
they just have like there's like yo call, there's one
Constable Richards, there is a gun that you can get

(43:03):
access because I mean Japan is like that too, and
I see more and more people the cops there have
you know, like little thirty eights on them. But and
it's not just about the availability of guns, but about
the training, because like police aren't. It's not just that
police are armed, it's that they're trained to treat every
situation like life or death, like life or death, like
it could turn super deadly at any time, which is

(43:24):
why they're shooting people in the back and you know,
seeing a guy pull out a cell phone and saying, well,
that's probably a gun and shoot him, you know, forty times.
The most important book, like for informing my position on
guns is this book that has nothing to do with guns,
but it's called Incognito and it's about like how the
human mind works. And it's like ninety percent of our

(43:45):
decision making process happens in an unconscious part of our
brain that we don't have access to. So like it's
like you don't like nobody is as in control of
their own thought process as they think they are. There
a lot of the time, we're just telling ourselves a
worry to explain, like the ship that is coming out
of the black box, that is our unconscious mind. So

(44:06):
I got a gun in the black box, right, yea, exactly.
All right, We're gonna take another quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And Fox and Friends was

(44:27):
being Fox and Friends on Tuesday. They set up a
nice folksy diner that was like from the fifties. The
only thing that was missing was the whites only sign
on the soda jerk bar uh and and a roof. Yeah.
They just like basically set up like a Disney style
diner from the nineteen fifties in the middle of Times Square.

(44:50):
You should have seen it, like sixty five in the morning.
They were showing people sitting around tables whatever. Everyone's bundled
the funk up because it's cold fucking freeze. And then
they had like those like stainless steel malt cups in
front of like people drinking milkshakes at six York and
people were like so uncomfortable, but they were like going

(45:12):
around be like, hey, we're just talking to the people,
you know, getting getting some ideas and man, they they
were doing a lot on Tuesday. I could. I was
sort of it was impressive. What was going on? First up?
You know, I think because in light of the terrorist
attack in christ Church, when when attacks like this happened,
the thoughts and prayers memes come out and they're like, oh,

(45:34):
what's good with your thoughts and prayers? That's a good point.
Did they before they even started talking about like changing
the gun laws? Did they try thoughts and prayers? And well,
you know, here's the thing to pass the gun laws
and then might not work. Um, So they had Joel
Oastin on to again defend the power of prayer. It

(45:56):
just listened to this whole thing. We'll talk about it
agedty like the mosque attacks in New Zealand. Our next
guest explains why the power of prayer, the prayer isn't
about results. It's about an ongoing relationship with God and
combating hate. So what do you make of people who say,
you know what, in times of tragedy, like what the
horrific tragedy in New Zealand, if you pray it doesn't

(46:17):
achieve results. So what's the point what advice do you
give to people? Let's say that you know what do
I believe it does chief results? You know, when you pray,
God gives you strength, he gives you peace, and you
know it moves the hands that I believe ruled the world.
So I believe that it is, you know, prayer. I've
seen prayer in my own life, so I'm a believer
in it. It's not about results. So I mean adding

(46:38):
hate in an ongoing relationship. I'm sorry, is this a
news channel? Still? Are we talking about a news channel?
So the morning news show, we got Joel Austen, the
man who turn it back on people when they needed
some shelter, on this morning news show, assuring viewers that
prayer is not about the destination, it's about the journey.

(46:59):
Exactly right, but also very disingenuous opening to that, right,
The cynesis like, it's just a very cynical argument strategy
where you assume the dumbest possible version of your opponents argument.
So you're like, well, when they say they don't want
our thoughts and prayers, they're saying that God doesn't exist,

(47:19):
that prayers don't work. Right, No, no, no, we're saying, sure,
thoughts and prayers, but we need like substantive action, legislation. Yeah, no,
one's saying prayer doesn't make you feel better. Everybody agrees
on you know, meditate and listen to the voice in
your head telling you that you should change your fucking values. Fuck,

(47:40):
I've never heard fucking blasphemous bullshit again. But that's why
you know they have they have those people on so
they feel like, you know, they're they're unassailable people are
this man is an authority. Just watch the channel channel. Yeah,
well here, look that's not all they did. Okay, Then
they got a whole group of you know, wealthy white

(48:01):
people together to just talk about kind of like again finally,
how powerful, like how Trump's just killing it with the
economy and like absolutely how like you know, people on
the left are really distracted or deflecting. Just listen to
this one too. When you have a booming economy and
you have policies like lowering taxes and deregulating and all
of these things being so successful to me American people,
and they can feel it. They can feel it in

(48:22):
their pocketbooks, they can feel it at their dinner tables.
How do democrats say, you know, what No, we want
to flip all of that and do a one eight
and give you the exact opposite. How does that make
any sense? Um? The way you run against it sadly,
but the is you go after some of the more
emotional issues, right, I mean you hear all the cries
about racism, etcetera. That is exactly the tactics that they

(48:42):
will use. Speak question. I mean, look, yo, welcome to
my new store racism, etcetera. Where we're horribly dismissing about
real issues. Sit around all day and we just cry
and cry about racism. I cannot you know, somebody, people
every day I walked on this treat. People are trying
to give me money. They say, my economy is booming,

(49:03):
I am making so much money, Please take some, please
have a job, And I say I cannot. I am
too distracted by racism and emotional issues. Yeah I have
too much money? Is actually but I'm also again it's
a real like I think they were just trying to
give their viewers like an update about like I know,
logic is telling you all these things are bad that
you're hearing. It's it's because they're you know, I mean,

(49:25):
I think it's because the left is making strides with
old people who are a conservative grab bag, you know,
by saying, wouldn't it be cool if you got Medicare
your whole life? You know, if if people try to
repeal Social Security or Medicare, which are the most popular
social programs ever implemented in the US. You know, there's
a lot of Bernie's campaign and is trying to compare

(49:48):
him to f DR, you know, because they're trying to
draw the Green New Deal is called the Green New Deal,
you know, it's not called the Green New fucking Socialist Revolution. Yeah,
the in fucking blaze, Like they're trying to like kind
of rebrand the left as something that takes care of people,
and young people and old people, not surprisingly, are pretty

(50:09):
into that idea of like getting shipped for free and
getting taken care of for the taxes you pay. And
so I think, I mean, I really think conservatives are
feeling that hit because their viewers are in their own
polls saying that they support higher taxes on people who
have more than a hundred million dollars. And was like, oh,
fuck yeah, and think about this, like you said, it's

(50:30):
it's gaining traction with young people, like you know millennials, right,
but they were very They had another whole fucking segment
where they wanted to dismiss millennials because we're like, way
too stressed out about dumb shit. Listen to this. I
still are a millennial, miles, what are if you were
born what is it two to ninety eight or something

(50:52):
something something like that. If you know, I say, born
nine eleven, I think anyone born after an eleven is
gen z. Okay, that's my definite issue. That's fine. I mean, look,
it's all. It's all. Look, if you know Michael Keaton
as the original Batman, you're old ast millennial's um now.
So this is them just bringing up a really wacky poll.

(51:12):
I've not heard of the people who ran this poll,
but this is them being like, millennials are way stressed out.
And listen listen to their list of things that stress
millennials out. Listen to this. Number one losing your wall
under credit card, number two, arguing with a partner, number three,
the commute, number four, losing the phone, five, arriving late
to work, six slow WiFi, seven phone battery dyne hey,

(51:35):
forgetting passwords, credit card fraud, or forgetting your phone charger.
It's all about the smartphone. Without the smartphone, they're not
so smart, that's right. So I mean, look, it tells
me that we live in the greatest country on the
face of the planet. If this is my generation's biggest concerns,
then we're doing good. Yeah. It's not climate change or
mounting dead or not being able to enter the workforce

(51:57):
or upper mobility or you know, trying to go fund
me all your medical bills or you know, not having
a job, or not having education, or being crushed with
student debt or you know, systemic racism. And it's it's
it's slow WiFi and all those things. It's slow WiFi
that I truly crave. Yeah, no, it's just why Like again,
that was their attempt, I guess to try and be
like n see, I mean, look at the people who

(52:17):
even supporting this, like they're they're the snowflakes who get
freaked out because they lost their wallet, right right right?
Don't have somebody phone away and see how stressed he is.
Oh he would fall apart. They would all fall apart.
Everybody has a damn smartphone Like this is We've got
a rate of technology. Like I don't think I don't.
Sometimes I don't really know if old people understand how
much technology they are simply not aware of that Gen

(52:39):
Z and millennials have to deal with all time, because
like we're the we're the young people. We're the ones
that have to give a ship when there's a new app,
you know, like we have to deal with the ship.
Old people just don't don't know. It's so stupid that
they care about their smartphones. It's like, you can't get
a job without a smartphone. Of course they care about
but also I drive a lit right, you know, I
think too. But then like try and you know, frame

(53:00):
this list as somehow being indicative of what the values
are of millennials to be like dismissive of it, or
be like, I mean like the guy was like, I mean, look,
this shows you were the greatest generation, I mean, the
greatest country of all time, even generation. This is this
is what they're mad about. I mean, Trump's I mean,
Trump's doing a great job essentially, is what they're all
trying to say. So confused by the story because the
top two things are losing your wallet, which would apply

(53:21):
to everyone, and arguing with your partner, which would apply
to everyone, But then they try to like after they
credit card fraud, and then they just kind of dismiss it. Yeah,
the fact that everyone is stressed out by credit card
like that's a real thing. Yeah, And after that clip
cut off, one of them was like, well, I think
the argument with your partner thing is actually about them

(53:43):
using social media because like they don't have actual values
or like they It was very confused. If that was
a real list, were talking to real millennials eating as
would be on that list. Yeah, everybody knows that that's
gospel for this generation. Rumor spread that you're bad at
eating app Yeah. Number three four defamed on Twitter by
my cow my number one. That's right. I'm gonna pray

(54:07):
for Fox and Friends. Yeah, having a fire tweet go unnoticed.
My goodness, movie Pass Why they're back? I don't know
why I saw the headline. I'm like, why movie pass
is gonna stressing me out? Thank you? That should be
on this movie pass giving me anxiety. We got a

(54:27):
new list. Movie Pass number one fire tweet now going
viral to eating ass number three, number three Devin naw
talking about online number four anyway, So like they're coming
back and they're doing the thing that got everyone in
love with them, which is the unlimited plan. You know,
see a movie every day. It's up to you do
what you gotta do. But we don't get through. Yeah,

(54:51):
we don't know what happened because last time we checked Jack,
remember there's that article that like they were basically running
out of like a room Dennis office. Yeah. Here's the
next is whenever you're whenever you read about movie Pass,
the story has to start out with admitting that money
is fake. It's like, so you know how like money
is fake? Movie passes back. I bet you wondered how

(55:13):
Movie Pass makes money. Well they don't, but they're also
very rich. It turns out money is fake essentially. Well
here's the thing, you know, like when you look at it, right,
So they're doing for a whole year. You could do
one nineteen and you get the whole year free, okay,
or month a month. But they still haven't really given
details of how they're going to avoid all the funk
ups that have happened last time. Remember, like they're like, oh,

(55:34):
y'all can't watch Mission Impossible Fallout like they were like
top movies or like, but you can see Gotti. Ecuse me,
you can see Dotty starting Contra Volta, which I watched
a prime video. It's the Bomb Drop the Bomb Nick,
please think it was terrible. Um Now, so they say,
like in this article Navy Clips, that the details remain

(55:55):
vague for now, but apparently there will be no limit
on how many two D movies you can see. When
it comes to what movies will be available. See, that's
where it gets tricky and business inside of they write
that the new unlimited plan could place restrictions on subscribers
title choices based on their location, day of movie, time
of movie title, and the individual users historical usage sounds
pretty limited. So suddenly it's like, yeah, unlimited, but you're

(56:18):
here's some limiting factors. Here's what we're going to take
into account. So I to me, this sounds like a
last ditch effort to get a few more suckers on
board before the full on death spiral. Yeah. Yeah, it
seems like we already learned what we needed to know
about movie Pass, which is they are an unsustainable business
and the only ways that they're going to be able

(56:39):
to convince people to invest in them is either fucking
people over, like by limiting what they can actually see,
or by selling your data. Booming economy. That's what we got.
Boom boom boom. I want you in my room. This
cell is just too hard. I can see all the
shitty movies I want, except I can't see any of
the ship movies I want, and I have to pay

(57:01):
a hundred dollars at once. Yeah, because then they were
seeing a great deal. They were tracking, like they know
you're going to the theater, and then like through GPS,
you know, like what businesses you go after, and they
can start really building a profile like, oh, these are
the habits of a movie view any time that deal
seems too good to be true. Now it makes sense.
Now it makes sense. They don't make money on the movies.
They make money on selling your data to other advertisers

(57:23):
who track you via GPS and see what stuff you
go to. Well, that makes a lot of sense. But
who knows if they have enough. But see, I think
they were doing that already, but they didn't have enough
money to keep it going. No, exactly. Well, they got
to just sell more data, you know. They got to
sell it to the point that people find out, Hey, Google,
holler at them. They've made some change on the back
end that you're not immediately aware of, but that will
eventually find out about it after you've signed up. If

(57:45):
you do sign up, that is incredibly invasive and fux
you over in some way like that's the only way
that this is happening. Yeah. That or that highlight reel
of movies that they were showing around that was my
favorite in the list went. He was like, ah, here,
like you know, we're revamping, we're trying, we're trying to
do a movie past two point. He's like, yo, show

(58:06):
him the video real quick. And it was just this
montage of just like moments from film no explanation. It's like, dude,
remember Titanic, Dude, remember King of the World. Remember Matrix?
And they're just like these like empty moments. Are these
movies on movie pass? And I was just like just
like to be like, remember cinema movies are sick, remember movies?

(58:26):
Was there? Hey, so can I sign you up? And
you got twenty million? Like what? Okay? Do you guys
remember that? Remember when Trump came out with an action
movie trailer about him and like, yes, boy really flies,
time really flies like that. You know, it hasn't even
been a fucking year since that ship went because I
was in May. I think he was. People were talking

(58:47):
about it for maybe two three days. That can't be true. No,
it's it's that was less than a year ago. The
Singapore thing was in May. That seems like that was
in my twenties. Yeah, it all seems like it was. Yeah,
just the other day, ship time. Huh. Let's check in
with some good old fashioned scammers. Guys. Do you guys

(59:08):
remember the go fund me homeless scam? Oh certainly? Oh yeah,
where the woman was like, I was stranded on the roadside.
The homeless man came up and was like, Yo, it's
too dangerous out here. Let me go walk this gas
canister and fill it up for you with my last
couple of bucks. And she posted that story. That's the
one we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. And then

(59:29):
they were like, go fund me for Johnny. He's a
homeless guy, but he's one of the good ones, and
we would like to give him some money, and everyone
was like yes. They raised over dollars from that, and
then it got massed. Now Johnny is still poor. Sorry, yeah, no, Well,
what was wild is essentially that was a scam where
they're like Okay, let's let's let's set up this old

(59:51):
buy in on the scam. They were in on it.
So it was this woman, her boyfriend, and the dude
who was like the good Samaritan quote unquote, and they
put him up to be like this man, he was
so selfless. They got to they're like, let's give him
some money to get him back on over to those
people that no, see that's the thing. They were sitting
on it, and there was a dispute where like the
dude was like, Yo, they're not giving me the money,

(01:00:12):
and they were like, oh, he's you know, we're afraid
he's gonna use it for drugs, so we're dolling it
out to him. But really they were all in on it.
And then he started blowing up the whole scam, being
like Yo, y'all just bought a new BMW, right, Like
what is this a scam? Right? And then also it
had to be like, y god, you're gonna make me
do it, but because if I can't get this money,
then I'm just gonna make this whole thing go down.
You can't going on the scam with someone and immediately

(01:00:34):
fuck them over while people are still looking at you yeah,
come on, that is and now they're going to prison.
Yeah why we're talking about well, yeah, because they have
now had to plead guilty in court to conspiracy. So
the man his name is Johnny Bobbitt, damn great last name.
That name is just making way. Yeah, John Bobbitt, they're
crushing it. Pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering.

(01:00:56):
And then the woman behind it, Caitlin McClure, she pleaded
guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
And you know, they're they could they could see some
twenty years twenty years for her, ten years for him respectively.
That all for yeah, because people, that's the thing, you know,
when you want to exploit people's you know, I admire

(01:01:17):
the hustle. I mean that's they're just they're out here.
They figured out a little thing to exploit. They should
have figured out how their shareholders of go fund me
are making a sweet little five percent off of all
of this scamming. Yeah how yeah, give more is for
a good cause. One of the one of the hosts

(01:01:37):
of Pods of America is like a shareholder and Go
fund Me, Like he's like one of the big investors
in go fund Me, which is really great because like
one third of go fund me is medical bills. And
he's like, so, I'm not totally sure about medicare for all,
Medicare for some, and everyone's like you you make money
off people not having medical care and like straight up
crowdfunding right, interesting, Oh, Dan Phifer. So he was VP

(01:02:04):
of go fund Me, Dan Phifer, and then now he
continues to have a financial stake in the company. I
think I have to look into this more. But based
off of just cursory research, alright, d go fund me
is not you know, they it works for some and
uh you know they made what was it fifty two

(01:02:24):
billion last year like go fund me raised. Yeah, so yeah,
it's always a fun like that's always a fun point
in the like, uh, you know, how would we pay
for like medicare for everybody? How are we going to
pay for it? It's like people are already paying for it.
They're doing it through go fund me and given Dan
five for five Dan Dan, because they are I mean,

(01:02:46):
from the last few times I heard them talk about
single pair of stuff to like push him back. They're
pushing well because when it was when it was just
like a you know, kind of a fringe issue. They
were like, well, I don't know, and now like Kamala
Harris is on board or they and stuff, and they're
like maybe they kind of they'll push for it sometimes,
but then you know they've got their reasons for not.
Like health insurance lobbyists affect every politician, not just Republican politicians.

(01:03:11):
Some of them are, some of them aren't. And it's
a shame too, because man, there's so many times I
go fund me like it's a good place to actually
help people. I mean, any paring is the same, and
you know there's like a bunch of funding sites like that,
and it's like, yeah, there is the aspect of when
when you give the money to go fund me, you're
trying to give money to your friend or your friend's
dog or whatever the fuck, you know, like somebody who

(01:03:32):
you think deserves it. You're not like trying to give
money to the guy who made a website where they
push money around someone who will wisely invest it, like
your friend's dog. There you go. Uh sorry, June, it's
