wants to earn her trust back. He also hired a
divorce lawyer before announced the birth. I was out of
wedlocked baby, So yeah, he really wants to earn her
trust back. But he also hired a divorce lawyer. A
(02:23):
big whoops on days part. I wandered outside the boundaries
of my marriage. That's not a wondering bro, that's more
than a wondering. All right, So look what happens when
you elect the nineteen year old mayor in your town.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, then you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Get a video of well of the underage Florida mayor
drinking at a bar and yeah, acting appropriate, you know,
all that fun stuff. So that's what happens when you
elect the nineteen year old mayor. Uh. Gene's grandparents apparently
don't want to be called grandma's because it sounds too old, correct,
(03:03):
So they prefer like, you know, Gigi or Mimi or whatever.
It's all gagay or yah yah or fofi or wah whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Julie is a g oh, okay whatever. My buido. I
just think it's funy not don't call me grant. That's
who it is, right, It's just the women. It is
just women. It's just it's just the grandma's. They don't
want to be called grandma's. Oh, don't got me grandma?
(03:33):
Call me makes me feel old. G Ga, what got got?
Oh she's a.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What is that sounds like some I don't know, piece
of lazy furniture to get a Walmart.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
We'll see if that sticks around beyond the toddler years.
I can't imagine, you know, a six or seven year
old still calling your grandma.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Bright. It's better than yah yah. I feel like that
sounds like a whoha.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
All right, So Mom and the Dollar Tree in Indiana,
along with a nine year old daughter, they were shopping
for a gift for the teacher. At one point, they
were smelling candles, because that's what you do with a candle.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You like, put it up, you go food that smells like.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Apples and cinnamon, I love it, or that smells like
punkin spice, or in this case, that smells like pumpkin pea. Yeah,
they thought there was some kind of water or something
in the candle, but no, no, She tipped the candle
over to smell it and a bunch of liquid poured
(04:45):
all over his shirt.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Sliquid had a bad smell.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then they realized somebody been peeing in the candles,
and they reported to the manager. I guess the manager,
there is pee in the candles. She offered the girl.
Another shirt is a replacement. Now, she said she.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Was aware that some people were peen in the candles.
She was aware store clerk. Yeah, oh no, Storm Clark was.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Aware that people had been peen in the candles. I mean, look,
was there bathroom not available? It's just one of those
like for customers only deals.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I feel like, once you know one candle has been
peed in, all the candles have to come off the shelf.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
She did say that she was aware that somebody or
some people were peeing in the candles for at least
the past month.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I like how she says some people like there's more
than one person that's gonna be doing something stupid like that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's a gang initiation. It's a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Look got this crazy pack of sixteen year olds and
her gang initiations.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Peing in a candle, but only the Apple Cinema.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Uh. Look, it's funny because she goes under same mother
took her daughter and they checked out and she's fine.
She's you know, they did a report it to the police,
who say they're investigating. But she says it's a mess.
The Old Dollar Tree just needs to do better. They
need actually care, at least have a warning up, says
(06:26):
check the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Candles, laughing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm thinking about when I'm going through a candle section
this somebody might might have peded in.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
It, but damn, I'll be looking now, yeah, next time
I go to Dollar Tree.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Hey, hey, check that thing for some whiz.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Guy in Spain claims he's making very good money working
as a professional quote wedding destroyer. Now this kind of
funny because he sets it up like like it's for
brides of cold feet. They supposedly hire this guy to
show up and object to the wedding. Oh but see,
(07:08):
I don't know how this gets him out. So he
says he posted a silly ad, you know, offering to
rescue brides from their wedding for five hundred euros. And
what happened basically he had women actually start to hire him.
And again he started as a joke. He's like, oh,
this is gonna be funny. You yeah, you can hire
(07:30):
me to to, you know, upset your wedding for five
hundred euros or whatever, and I'll come and object to
the you know, the part where does anybody objected this wedding? Please,
you know, make it known now. And he can tell
and goes, oh, I'm objected.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I objected.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I'm a former lover and I you know, I've been
dreaming about you and blah blah blah, and the and
the bride runs off with him.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh that's the other part. So I mean, to me,
it makes you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Look like a straight up loser, Like who would do
that anyway? They He says, he's been busy, you know,
working this profession booked every weekend, he says, he shows up,
he waits for the officiant to ask if anyone objects
(08:16):
that he pretends to be an old flame, and the
bride runs off with him. He says, it doesn't always
go well. People at the wedding intend to get upset,
as you'd expect, since there's an extra fifty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Dollars fee if he receives a slap.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh yes, for every slap he receives, there's a fifty
dollars tickup.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And what if he just straight up gets his ass beat.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I imagine that feeds a little bit more spindy. Yeah,
just showing up his old flame. No, that's not gonna work. Man.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
My friend's probably pounding you into oblivion like you think,
so boom, but who who is?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like if you were a bride and you hire that dude,
do you think you're doing yourself? Are still there?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Like that makes you look somehow better than just going
through it or calling it off or whatever. You think
that somehow makes you look more responsible and the better person.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Come on, like there's some sort of romanticism for running
off with an old flame.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, how is that supposed to be rewarded in the
eyes of everybody there that had been lied to by
you saying that you're gonna marry this guy I know stuff,
and all the while you were leading him on like
that makes you look like a hussy.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Stupid all right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
A music producer was arrested on Wednesday listening to this.
You guys, this is insane. So he he's got a plan.
I will tell you this is a well thought out plan.
This dude Michael Smith. He lives in North Carolina, just
outside Charlotte. He created thousands of bought accounts on platforms
like a lot of us use Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music.
(09:56):
Those are those are all over place, very accessible and
everybod but has it right, Sure everybody can use that.
So you're familiar with the format, you go and listen
to music, do your thing right. Well, this guy he
so it's kind of wild. He used the accounts to
automatically stream AI music. He placed this AI music with
(10:17):
a music producer.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He placed his music.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
On platforms and he would generate over six hundred thousand
streams a day. I think about for a minute, with
all his music.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So he's supplying the music and then he's also thousands
of bought accounts to listen so.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That when royalties needed to be paid, he was getting
all that money. And he did it kind of cool
because when he first came out, he said, we need
tons of songs super fast to make this work around
the anti fraud policies that these guys are all using. Now,
he wrote to two other conspirators in the account. He
(10:56):
used an AI music company beginning in twenty eighteen as
well as the music promoter to generate hundreds of thousands
of songs. He also bought vast quantities of email addresses
and you know, set up these fake accounts, and he
used a VPN service to disguise that he was controlling
all of these things from his you know, his home
(11:17):
as the basement of his house, and he was making
a ton of money all off royalties. Wow, because he
would have bots with these fake addresses listening to all
this music that he was posting up.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So as a full on circular type, you.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Know, thievery that was going on, you know, kind of wild, right,
But in the end, the dude was raaking millions, ten
million dollars he made over a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, he was bringing in roughly one hundred grand a month.
Think about that for a minute, all quote passive income.
All he had to do is just sit back and
wait for the check.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And it's all circular because of the way that he
set it up. He had control the bots, he had
controled the music, he can control the upstream and what
he was loading up. And he just sit back and
made the money until he got busted, which is awesome,
but still, man, what a crazy scheme and kind of
insane way to do it. But for a minute, right,
(12:19):
for a couple of years, he had to be living
a good life thinking that he was never gonna get caught.
And there's the problem when you have something like this,
people go in and they go hard. They make a million,
two million, three million is never enough. This dude made
ten million dollars and it's not enough. It's crazy, all right.
(12:40):
So finally, this is one way to get your car.
And well, imagine you live in a bad neighborhood. Imagine
you're trying to get your car, you know, keep the
bank from reponing. We had Adriene on yesterday and talked
about he can get a car and how long did
you say?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Fifteen to twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, can you imagine losing your car in fifteen seconds?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So you're trying to keep a repo guy or somebody
from stealing your car. How do you make that happen?
We talked about the club. Oh, that's a cheap alternative.
But this guy had a better plan. He's a forty
five year old guy Detroit facing charges of rigging his
car with a big old fake ass bomb.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh he Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This guy lives in Michigan, and apparently he put a
pro paant tank in the passenger seat with wires running
from a regulator to the cars basically center console.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So he had the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Regulator of that pro Paye tank, you know, he had
rigged up with wires coming out of it and it
ran to the center console, and he strapped a second
tank to the driver's side steering wheel with copper wires
running underneath the car. Oh, so it looked like this
(13:56):
big elaborate pro paane tank bomb was gonna go off.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But but wait, there's more. It gets better.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And then just to make sure there was, you know,
no confusion about what was going on inside this dude's car,
there's a big ass cardboard sign on the windshield right
like placed up like you know, a sun block or whatever,
that said, don't move car, it will blow up. Oh so,
(14:25):
right out of the open, don't move car, it will
blow up.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's awesome. That's illegal, you know, but hey.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You're not allowed to mad max your car.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No. No, one of the neighbors saw the cars, like, well,
that's not good. He calls the cops. And it's funny
because he even asked before he even call the cops,
he asked guy what he's doing. What the guy said,
I'm rigging it to blow, like straight out of a movie.
I'm rigging it to blow. Well, what do you think
(14:59):
the neighbor's gonna dude? The names would called cops, and
that's exactly what happened. Someoney called cops. After a couple
of days of this going on, they sent a bomb
squad out to show up and they evacuated the entire neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, Well it turns out that it wasn't a working bomb.
Despite his best efforts, the guy's car well, it ended
up being taken away.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He got repoted.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
He's facing you know, a ton of just silly toot
representing and presenting a device as explosive and he just
name it. He's not the smartest man. But look, nobody
moved his car for a minute anyway. I don't know
you could advertise it quite like that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I have the club.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I am thinking about making one of those like little
clusters of like the dynamite sticks and just put a
little clock on the front of it. Yeah, attached to
my club.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What you doing on there?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm rigging it the blow honey, he's rigging it the
blow again.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Maybe fireworks using kids later. What a crazy dude. That's
awesome at my friend's stupid stories.
One O seven nine KBP I and your show time

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Wow, he paid for every bit of it, even like
his stunt.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He's like, no, I'll just do it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It was cool.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah. Dave grow said he wants to earn his wife's
trust back, and that's save me yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Remember that, I'm gonna work hard to earn her trust back. Look,
he also just to show you how much he really
wants to earn her trust back. He also hired a
divorce lawyer before announced the birth. I was out of
wedlocked baby, So yeah, he really wants to earn her
trust back. But he also hired a divorce lawyer. A
(02:23):
big whoops on days part. I wandered outside the boundaries
of my marriage. That's not a wondering bro, that's more
than a wondering. All right, So look what happens when

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, then you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Get a video of well of the underage Florida mayor
drinking at a bar and yeah, acting appropriate, you know,

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Bright. It's better than yah yah. I feel like that
sounds like a whoha.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
All right, So Mom and the Dollar Tree in Indiana,
along with a nine year old daughter, they were shopping
for a gift for the teacher. At one point, they
were smelling candles, because that's what you do with a candle.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You like, put it up, you go food that smells like.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Apples and cinnamon, I love it, or that smells like

all over his shirt.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Sliquid had a bad smell.
Speaker 1 (04:50):

Another shirt is a replacement. Now, she said she.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Was aware that some people were peen in the candles.
She was aware store clerk. Yeah, oh no, Storm Clark was.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Aware that people had been peen in the candles. I mean, look,
was there bathroom not available? It's just one of those
like for customers only deals.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I feel like, once you know one candle has been
peed in, all the candles have to come off the shelf.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
She did say that she was aware that somebody or
some people were peeing in the candles for at least
the past month.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I like how she says some people like there's more
than one person that's gonna be doing something stupid like that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's a gang initiation. It's a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Look got this crazy pack of sixteen year olds and
her gang initiations.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Peing in a candle, but only the Apple Cinema.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Uh. Look, it's funny because she goes under same mother
took her daughter and they checked out and she's fine.
She's you know, they did a report it to the police,
who say they're investigating. But she says it's a mess.
The Old Dollar Tree just needs to do better. They
need actually care, at least have a warning up, says
(06:26):

Speaker 2 (06:26):

I go to Dollar Tree.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Hey, hey, check that thing for some whiz.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Guy in Spain claims he's making very good money working
as a professional quote wedding destroyer. Now this kind of
funny because he sets it up like like it's for
brides of cold feet. They supposedly hire this guy to
show up and object to the wedding. Oh but see,
(07:08):
I don't know how this gets him out. So he
says he posted a silly ad, you know, offering to
rescue brides from their wedding for five hundred euros. And
what happened basically he had women actually start to hire him.
And again he started as a joke. He's like, oh,
this is gonna be funny. You yeah, you can hire

dreaming about you and blah blah blah, and the and
the bride runs off with him.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh that's the other part. So I mean, to me,
it makes you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Look like a straight up loser, Like who would do
that anyway? They He says, he's been busy, you know,
working this profession booked every weekend, he says, he shows up,
he waits for the officiant to ask if anyone objects
(08:16):
that he pretends to be an old flame, and the
bride runs off with him. He says, it doesn't always
go well. People at the wedding intend to get upset,
as you'd expect, since there's an extra fifty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Dollars fee if he receives a slap.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh yes, for every slap he receives, there's a fifty
dollars tickup.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And what if he just straight up gets his ass beat.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I imagine that feeds a little bit more spindy. Yeah,
just showing up his old flame. No, that's not gonna work. Man.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
My friend's probably pounding you into oblivion like you think,
so boom, but who who is?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Like if you were a bride and you hire that dude,
do you think you're doing yourself? Are still there?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Like that makes you look somehow better than just going
through it or calling it off or whatever. You think
that somehow makes you look more responsible and the better person.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Come on, like there's some sort of romanticism for running
off with an old flame.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, how is that supposed to be rewarded in the
eyes of everybody there that had been lied to by
you saying that you're gonna marry this guy I know stuff,
and all the while you were leading him on like
that makes you look like a hussy.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Stupid all right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
A music producer was arrested on Wednesday listening to this.
You guys, this is insane. So he he's got a plan.
I will tell you this is a well thought out plan.
This dude Michael Smith. He lives in North Carolina, just
outside Charlotte. He created thousands of bought accounts on platforms
like a lot of us use Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music.
(09:56):
Those are those are all over place, very accessible and
everybod but has it right, Sure everybody can use that.
So you're familiar with the format, you go and listen
to music, do your thing right. Well, this guy he
so it's kind of wild. He used the accounts to
automatically stream AI music. He placed this AI music with
(10:17):
a music producer.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He placed his music.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
On platforms and he would generate over six hundred thousand
streams a day. I think about for a minute, with
all his music.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So he's supplying the music and then he's also thousands
of bought accounts to listen so.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That when royalties needed to be paid, he was getting
all that money. And he did it kind of cool
because when he first came out, he said, we need
tons of songs super fast to make this work around
the anti fraud policies that these guys are all using. Now,
he wrote to two other conspirators in the account. He
(10:56):
used an AI music company beginning in twenty eighteen as
well as the music promoter to generate hundreds of thousands
of songs. He also bought vast quantities of email addresses
and you know, set up these fake accounts, and he
used a VPN service to disguise that he was controlling
all of these things from his you know, his home
(11:17):
as the basement of his house, and he was making
a ton of money all off royalties. Wow, because he
would have bots with these fake addresses listening to all
this music that he was posting up.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So as a full on circular type, you.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Know, thievery that was going on, you know, kind of wild, right,
But in the end, the dude was raaking millions, ten
million dollars he made over a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, he was bringing in roughly one hundred grand a month.
Think about that for a minute, all quote passive income.
All he had to do is just sit back and
wait for the check.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And it's all circular because of the way that he
set it up. He had control the bots, he had
controled the music, he can control the upstream and what
he was loading up. And he just sit back and
made the money until he got busted, which is awesome,
but still, man, what a crazy scheme and kind of
insane way to do it. But for a minute, right,
(12:19):
for a couple of years, he had to be living
a good life thinking that he was never gonna get caught.
And there's the problem when you have something like this,
people go in and they go hard. They make a million,
two million, three million is never enough. This dude made
ten million dollars and it's not enough. It's crazy, all right.
(12:40):
So finally, this is one way to get your car.
And well, imagine you live in a bad neighborhood. Imagine
you're trying to get your car, you know, keep the
bank from reponing. We had Adriene on yesterday and talked
about he can get a car and how long did
you say?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Fifteen to twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, can you imagine losing your car in fifteen seconds?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So you're trying to keep a repo guy or somebody
from stealing your car. How do you make that happen?
We talked about the club. Oh, that's a cheap alternative.
But this guy had a better plan. He's a forty
five year old guy Detroit facing charges of rigging his
car with a big old fake ass bomb.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh he Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This guy lives in Michigan, and apparently he put a
pro paant tank in the passenger seat with wires running
from a regulator to the cars basically center console.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
So he had the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Regulator of that pro Paye tank, you know, he had
rigged up with wires coming out of it and it
ran to the center console, and he strapped a second
tank to the driver's side steering wheel with copper wires
running underneath the car. Oh, so it looked like this
(13:56):
big elaborate pro paane tank bomb was gonna go off.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But but wait, there's more. It gets better.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And then just to make sure there was, you know,
no confusion about what was going on inside this dude's car,
there's a big ass cardboard sign on the windshield right
like placed up like you know, a sun block or whatever,
that said, don't move car, it will blow up. Oh so,
(14:25):
right out of the open, don't move car, it will
blow up.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's awesome. That's illegal, you know, but hey.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You're not allowed to mad max your car.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
No. No, one of the neighbors saw the cars, like, well,
that's not good. He calls the cops. And it's funny
because he even asked before he even call the cops,
he asked guy what he's doing. What the guy said,
I'm rigging it to blow, like straight out of a movie.
I'm rigging it to blow. Well, what do you think
(14:59):
the neighbor's gonna dude? The names would called cops, and
that's exactly what happened. Someoney called cops. After a couple
of days of this going on, they sent a bomb
squad out to show up and they evacuated the entire neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, Well it turns out that it wasn't a working bomb.
Despite his best efforts, the guy's car well, it ended
up being taken away.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He got repoted.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
He's facing you know, a ton of just silly toot
representing and presenting a device as explosive and he just
name it. He's not the smartest man. But look, nobody
moved his car for a minute anyway. I don't know
you could advertise it quite like that.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I have the club.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I am thinking about making one of those like little
clusters of like the dynamite sticks and just put a
little clock on the front of it. Yeah, attached to
my club.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What you doing on there?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm rigging it the blow honey, he's rigging it the
blow again.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Maybe fireworks using kids later. What a crazy dude. That's
awesome at my friend's stupid stories.
