๐ŸŽ™๏ธ EP#380 | DSD | Candace, Charlie, & Conspiracies: Whatโ€™s Really Going On?

What starts as a hilarious story about a bro getting humbled by a hot Pilates class quickly spirals into a powerful takedown of media narratives, political blind spots, and global deception. In this episode, we go from sweat-soaked workouts at Hotworx to deep dives into Candace Owens, Charlie Kirkโ€™s death, JFK parallels, Israeli politics, and how influencers are allegedly being bought โ€” all with the classic DSD edge.

Damian Young shares his thoughts on why Candace Owens might be the only one genuinely grieving Charlie Kirk, and why the eerie silence surrounding his death feels orchestrated. From questionable timelines to odd funeral logistics and a lack of public outrage, this episode demands critical thinking. The JFK comparison? Hard to ignore. Especially when itโ€™s laid out with precision and skepticism. Damian breaks it down โ€” and calls it like it is.

Plus: a wild 60 Minutes segment might be quietly planting seeds about Syriaโ€™s next role in global conflict, and a shocking expose reveals social media influencers allegedly being paid by the Israeli government to shape public sentiment. Yep, $7,000 a post. The episode wraps with a warning: donโ€™t just consume โ€” investigate. Because the more you look, the less things add up.

(00:01):
Free. Audio post production.
Byalphonic.com. The following podcast is a deep
shallow dive production. And you're going to love it.
OK, let's go. Hey, what's up, everybody?
Happy Tuesday. I hope you guys had a good
weekend. All right, let's start off with
this. My buddy Eric, who lives in

(00:23):
Orange County, California, here kind of near me, actually called
me up on Sunday and was like, hey, dude, I went to that hot
works in Ladera Ranch. That's like the little town or
one of the suburbs that kind of we're close to.
And he was like, I took their Pilates work out.
They're hot Pilates. And I was like, oh, what do you

(00:43):
think? And he's like, I was emasculated
and I started dying laughing because I think the same thing
when I take Pilates, you know, as a guy, it's like we think
we're like in such good shape and we've got muscles and all
this stuff. Well, at least some of us do.
But anyway, it was hilarious 'cause I was like, Oh my God,

(01:03):
tell me about it. He's like, dude, that was
insane. He's like, first of all, I felt
like such a loser because I couldn't even do all the stuff
they were doing. And I said, OK, that's OK.
And then he's like, but the factthat it was so hot in there,
he's like, dude, I almost felt like I should give him a tip to

(01:24):
like clean out that sauna because I sweat so much.
So anyway, I was like, what did you like it?
He's like, no, I loved it. He's like, I'm actually going to
send my wife there and if she likes it, maybe that'll be
something that, you know, we switch our, we switch our, I
don't know where, where they have another membership, but he
was talking about switching his membership to that.

(01:44):
So anyway, I thought that was pretty cool.
So for all of those that haven'ttried, give it a try, man.
If there is a Hotworks near you,again, they have almost 800
locations, hotworks.net, that's their website.
You can plug in your address, you know, see if there's one
close by. Obviously I totally understand

(02:05):
if there's not one relatively close at all, but you know, if
there's one within 5 to 10 milesof you, definitely 5.
It's worth it. It's worth it.
It's worth it to grab a free workout.
And like I said, you can sign upright through their website and
then they'll call you. It's actually really nice.

(02:27):
I, I would say I did have a, a couple other people say, hey, I
want to take this. Which one do you recommend?
I would actually recommend theirhot ISO class to start out
because that's kind of their signature class.
So I would start off with the hot ISO again, 30 minutes.
Make sure you take a change of clothes or at least a change of
T-shirt. You can actually shower there.

(02:49):
I think most of them also have ashower by the way.
They also have like a full blownlittle weight room area they
call it. Like what do they call it?
I forget what they call it. But if afterward you want to
grab a workout with some really good dumbbells and kettle bells
and a few other stuff, they actually have all that there.
So anyway, by the way, I don't even have a deal with these guys

(03:11):
or anything. I had another, God, people are
so funny. I had another friend and he's
like, dude, do you get a Commission off of this?
And I was like, if I do, is thata problem?
And he's like, no, it's not a problem.
I just think you need to be you,you know, you need to let us
know that. And I was like, OK, I don't get
a Commission. I don't have any kind of, I

(03:34):
actually don't have any kind of deal with these guys whatsoever.
So no, I don't get anything. But if you do mention you saw
their CEO on deep shallow dive again, I mean, the class is free
regardless, so it's not like youneed to say that to get a free
class, but I think they'll take like extra good care of you.
But anyway, I thought that was so funny.

(03:55):
And then I told him I said, no, I'm not, I don't have a deal
with them. I'm trying to work something
out. But until then I don't have
anything. And he's like, OK, that's cool.
I'm going to try it out. Oh, my God, people are funny.
Reminds me of the Door song. People are strange.
When you're a stranger, faces look ugly when you're alone,
women seem wicked. Oh, I forgot the rest.

(04:18):
I know a lot. I know a lot of music lyrics, by
the way. All right, enough of that.
All right, I did want to start off talking a little Charlie
Kirk. I don't know how much of that
I'm going to get into. But the main thing I just wanted
to build on, first of all, for those of you that listen to
Candace Owens, that that gal is a absolute beast.

(04:43):
She is an absolute beast. And the main thing I want to
talk about right now, I may end up playing some clips, but I
don't even know it. I don't even know what I have in
my grab bag. But what I wanted to say was you
have got to realize something strange is going on.
It really is. And the reason is nobody seems

(05:09):
to care about Charlie besides Candace.
But instead they're using it to really move forward this
conservative Christian narrativethat they're wanting to do.
I honestly can't believe it thatall of these people that

(05:30):
supposedly loved Charlie so much, by the way, including his
wife, I'm sorry. I don't see any grieving again.
I think I said this in one of the episodes last week.
It's like they jumped right to celebration of life as if the
dude was a 95 year old guy that lived an incredibly complete

(05:52):
life and died in his sleep. You know, like it's just very
strange and there are so many holes in the official narrative
that it's hard to really, it's honestly hard to understand
unless there is an ulterior motive with all of this, why
they would not be demanding moreanswers.

(06:16):
And, and again, I really, I really pinned this on the
Republican slash conservative slash highly Christian segment
of the United States. You know, it's, it's, it's
definitely continued to, to split the Republican movement

(06:36):
and, and the MAGA movement in half.
Because I would say, I, I would say, I will say, well, I will
and would say that half of the people that supposedly used to
be Republicans and used to be Trump supporters and used to be
MAGA, you know, they're, they'rethe ones that are making a stink
about this. You know, there's no real

(06:57):
Democrats or liberals, not leftist.
Thank you Greg Stoker that are making a stink about it because
those people really did not likeCharlie Kirk.
So I don't think they really care enough to make a stink
about it. But the stink is being made by
really the same the same MAGA Republicans that are pissed off

(07:20):
about the Epstein files not being released.
So anyway, my point is that, youknow, when I look at someone
like Candace Owens, I, I really genuinely think she absolutely
cares about her friend. Now, with that being said,
somebody that I talked to was like, hey, don't you think
Candace is milking this as well?And I was like, well, I mean,

(07:43):
I'll tell you what, man, she's getting crazy amounts of views
on her podcast episodes on YouTube and Rumble.
So obviously she's monetizing isOh my God, did I talk about this
the other day? I can't remember, but but she
could shut everybody up if she said, hey, in my 6 episodes on

(08:06):
Charlie Kirk or 10 episodes on Charlie Kirk, you know, I made
$150,000 off of Rumble and YouTube and I am going to open
up a, a college fund for Charlie's two kids with that.
I mean, that would shut everybody up and basically take
away their ability to criticize her.

(08:27):
But man, she's getting attacked,like just attacked brutally.
And again, it's like infighting between the Republicans.
So anyway, all I wanted to say about that is it is it is weird.
Something is weird because thereare way too many holes for there
not to be more people questioning, you know, the

(08:48):
simple common sense about the entire situation.
So, all right, let me see. I got some clips.
All right, you know what? Here's another thing I figured
out. I have figured out that when 60
Minutes on Sunday night, whatever segments they run,
chances are they're running those segments because they've
either been in the news as of late or man, I don't want to say

(09:13):
it's foreshadowing, but it's foreshadowing.
And I think they're going to be in the news again at some point.
So they're basically being again, God, I don't know what I
don't know if I want to say they're being told to run it,
but it it, it, it lines up a lotof times.
And so if you listen to the episode with Elijah and Jad from

(09:35):
last week, it ended with Elijah talking about like the situation
in Syria. And lo and behold, on 60 Minutes
on Sunday, they ran a segment about the guy Al Jelani, who was
the former al Qaeda, the former,what do you call it, the former,

(09:57):
like top five most wanted. Oh my God, this reminds me of
like a boxing announcer. He is the the former al Qaeda
member, the former top five terrorist in the world, former
most wanted. Anyway, this guy is now the

(10:19):
president of Syria. And it's really crazy that this
happened. But 60 Minutes ran a segment on
him. So here is a one minute clip
that really kind of lays this out.
It's pretty wild and it's worth a listen.
To understand his improbable path to the presidency, you have
to go back about 20 years, when Al Shadda left an upper middle

(10:42):
class life in Syria to join al Qaeda in Iraq.
He wouldn't go into details about what he did then, but he
was arrested and spent six yearsin American and Iraqi prisons.
Released in 2011, just as a popular uprising against Bashar
al-Assad had begun, he started an al Qaeda affiliate in Syria

(11:03):
that staged suicide bombings andarmed attacks against the Assad
regime. We did not take any external
actions outside Syrian territory.
We did not target anyone but theSyrian regime.
But the United States stated that many of the attacks killed,
quote, innocent Syrian civiliansand designated Al Shadda a

(11:23):
global terrorist, putting him with his nom de guerre on this
wanted poster and offering a $10million reward to anyone who
could help, quote, stop this terrorist.
Have you ever seen that poster? The Wanted poster?
Yes, of course. All right, the clip ends.
The clip ends there. He's like, yes, of course.

(11:45):
I've seen my Most Wanted poster where they offered a $10 million
bounty on my head, and now I'm shaking hands with Trump wearing
a Tom Ford suit, and I am the president of Syria.
I mean, are you kidding me? Like, that does not happen
unless it is supposed to happen or it's being orchestrated.

(12:06):
It just doesn't like this stuff is crazy.
This stuff is crazy. All right, that's that.
I did want to play that. You know, again, we haven't
talked too much about Syria, butfor some reason, I feel like
that is going to get in the newsa little more and more as as
time goes on. And by the way, supposedly

(12:29):
against Phase 1 of this Gaza ceasefire that ends the war
started, looks like all of the remaining 20 or plus hostages on
the Israeli side were released. And then other things happened
for Hamas. They got some hostages released
that the Israelis were holding. And so we'll see.

(12:52):
I mean, I guarantee you there's going to be a little bit of a
lull and then something's going to happen and it's just going to
go right back to right back to the situation actually.
Oh, this is interesting. I just thought of this as I was
talking. I wonder if Syria and this guy,

(13:13):
Al Jilani or Al Shara, whatever his name is now, maybe he
attacks Hamas. Oh, my goodness.
OK, let's see. Let's put that out there.
Let's put that out there. Maybe instead of Israel once
again attacking in the IDF, attacking, maybe there's some

(13:34):
type of kind of Muslim on Muslimcivil war that started in Iraq.
I could see that happening. I could see.
Oh, man, that'll be pretty wild if that's the if that's what
happens, if that happens, that'll make all this make
sense. And it'll even reinforce my
theory that, you know, they're seeding the public by putting

(13:58):
this by putting him on 60 minutes.
So, all right, we shall see on that.
All right, this next clip is something I've been wanting to
play for so long and I keep forgetting.
Anyway, I had some people kind of asked me about JFK, John F
Kennedy and really ask me kind of what my thoughts were on him
and all that. And you know, I will say with

(14:18):
the research I've done, I, I am very positive on JFK overall.
Now, again, I'm sure there's things about him that if I
delved into more, maybe I wouldn't like, but but I'm
telling you, I have a feeling that JFK was taking America in a
totally different direction and the direction would not have

(14:42):
benefited the, what do you call it?
It would not have benefited the military industrial complex
because he wanted to pull out ofVietnam.
And then as far as countries, itabsolutely would not have
benefited the country of Israel,which remember, was founded in
1948. And here we are only 15 years

(15:04):
later in 1963. And JFK was a staunch advocate
against two things. Advocate against two things.
He was an opponent. My bad.
A staunch opponent against two things for Israel.
And one was the proliferation. That's a hard word to pronounce

(15:27):
of nuclear weapons. And second was making them
register as a foreign agent so they wouldn't be able to
influence American politics, I believe.
And that's the precursor to thisAIPAC.
But give this clip a less or give this clip a lesson.
Give this clip a listen. This is in regards to the the

(15:49):
thought process about the the nuclear disarming of Israel.
And again this is from AI. Think it was ABBC or a National
Geographic documentary. The other problem Kennedy faced
with Israel was the constructionof the atomic reactor at Damona.
JFK was strongly against any proliferation of nuclear

(16:12):
weaponry. He had been assured by Prime
Minister David Ben Gurion that Damona was designed for peaceful
uses of Atomic Energy. In the spring of 1963, Kennedy
demanded full inspections by theUS of the Dimona reactor and
threatened to place American aidfor Israel in limbo if no
agreement were reached. And at the time of his

(16:34):
assassination, negotiations werein process for biannual
inspections. So basically he had started the
process of at least having biannual inspections.
And again, since, you know, he died, I think a few months after
that, and since then, there havebeen no inspections.

(16:55):
And then this is kind of like one of the worst kept secrets in
geopolitics. And that is that Israel has
nuclear weapons and they've had them for a long time.
And, you know, it's not, it's not, it's not really talked
about in public a lot. Did I ever read a list of the
countries that have nuclear weapons?

(17:16):
I'll have to do that. I think I've done that before,
but I'll do it again. But remember, nuclear weapons
are like, that's like the ultimate, what do you call it?
It's the ultimate enforcer. Because even if you're a smaller
country like North Korea with our our guy Jung, Oh my God, I'm
blanking on his name. Kim.

(17:37):
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm forgetting his first part of his
name. But even if you're a smaller
country like that, you know, if push comes to shove and they've
got nuclear capabilities, other countries can only push them so
far. You know, it's like the ultimate
deterrent. So anyway, all right, there's
that. Let me see what else?
Oh, you know what, let me play this clip from this guy Damien

(17:58):
is AI think his name is. He's actually really good.
He does a really nice job of stringing things out that are
are a lot. And I think this one's about the
Charlie Kirk stuff, maybe relating to Candace.
Let's give a listen. There's no death certificate,
there's no Ballistics report, there was no crime scene
investigation, there were no paramedics, there were no police

(18:19):
swarming it right after. There was a plane that left 30
minutes right after that was 20 minutes away from the venue.
There was a funeral held 11 daysafter in a stadium that was or
wasn't booked four months beforethat was booked in 11 days and
put together with pyrotechnics and WWE style show showmanship.
You have a shooter that left thescrewdriver on the roof, changed

(18:42):
three times or two times and left the rifle, assembled the
rifle, disassembled the rifle insix seconds.
Then they found the rifle on Palantir property.
Somehow he reassembled the riflewithout the screwdriver that he
left on the thing. You know, I mean just all of it,
none of it makes sense. So this is the same exact same
pattern down to the magic bulletthat supposedly a 30 out six or

(19:05):
whatever the heck it was or whatever that was stopped by
Superman's bones. The exact, the Patsy, the I mean
all of it is. JF do you think the guy that
they're saying that shot him, which doesn't seem to be
believable? You mean the guy?
That went to college for a monthat ACIA.
School and. His parents were in the
government did something that what?

(19:26):
No, I don't. Is he going to go I?
Believe it as much as I believe that a bullet whiz passed the
presidents here. Yeah, I know.
Do you think that he's going to go down for the crime?
I think he will not make it to trial.
That was so solid actually. That was really probably every
single thing that is a question mark that should be investigated

(19:47):
more. And so, you know, that's kind of
why I'm saying it's the whole thing is incredibly weird
because everybody seems to have moved on besides Candace.
And then you have a situation where all those things are still
loose ends. And again, this is like the most
brutal public assassination we've witnessed that is very

(20:07):
similar to JFKI. Mean.
That's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy to think that
the American people or that people shouldn't say the
American people. Actually, I should say the
American people, it is the American people, but people in
general are falling for falling for this, no different than the
way they did in 1963. So anyway, all right, take all

(20:29):
that into consideration. Let me see if there's anything
else. Oh, you know what, this is a
pretty crazy story, in case you have not heard it, but this came
out maybe like a week ago or 10 days ago.
And again, it's been, it's been fact checked and vetted and it
is true, but basically it kind of speaks to the the

(20:50):
conservative influencers that many people are like, man, what
happened to these people? Well, I'll tell you what
happened to these people. This happened.
Israel is blatantly indoctrinating Americans.
New docs have revealed that Israel is paying influencers
upwards of $7000 per post on social media such as TikTok and

(21:12):
Instagram. That is an outrageous amount of
money. This is the story from
Responsible Statecraft. It's from the Israeli
government. They're paying for influencers
to flood our social media. When you log on, suddenly you
are just flooded with pro Israelcontent.
That has been my experience. I log on to X and all I see is
pro Israel content, pro Israel content, pro Israel content in
my feed. People are reporting to me the

(21:32):
same thing on YouTube. So there's clearly a very
concerted effort to take on social media.
If a list came out like this saying I'll look at all these
influencers that are paid by Russia, this would be a huge
scandal. Why aren't they going after
Netanyahu or the Israelis that are paying these influencers?
And you're an anti Semite if yousay anything about it.
If it's Russia, if it's China, if it's anybody else, there
would be massive outrage. How dare they even think about

(21:53):
indoctrinating Americans. Trump made China sell TikTok
because of influence and propaganda.
Yeah, these people are allowed to take is.
It's really money. Nobody bats an eye about this.
Why are social media influencersallowed to get away with this?
Why is there not a huge push to investigate them for foreign
meddling in our elections? Why aren't these influencers
being dragged in the Congress, questioned and told you're not
very American? Well, it's because our

(22:15):
government in on it also. All right.
That was a gal named Kim Iverson.
She's really good. You know, I'm not going to name
names on this thing, but you know that did that did come out
to be to be held as being true that they are getting $7000 for
each post. That's a lot of money, man, Holy
mackerel. And some of these people are

(22:35):
like posting every single day, man.
They, they made some bank off ofthat.
I guess if they say how much does it cost to sell your soul,
we now know the answer, $7000 per post.
All right, let's see anything else now.
That's about it. Sorry about getting this one out
late today. Have a great day, October 14th

(22:59):
and we will catch up with you tomorrow.
Call a spade a spade, call your parents.
That was a. Great way to end it.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; โ€œHe paid me to do it.โ€ David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a โ€œliveโ€ investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was Davidโ€™s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, โ€œbrokeโ€ her.โ€ The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run โ€œTrying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.โ€ Thatโ€™s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the howโ€ฆ and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentinaโ€™s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one womanโ€™s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as โ€œThe Corner on Blood.โ€ The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didnโ€™t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one manโ€™s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someoneโ€™s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the directorโ€™s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. โ€œThe Hulkโ€ was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But thatโ€™s all heโ€™d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. โ€œThe guilty have gone free,โ€ he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
