Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of av trend.
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ticket cost because these prises are going there.
Speaker 2: What they should be, man, what this should be to
Speaker 2: go see my fucking boys.
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm Jack, that's my old Yeah. And we
Speaker 1: are just over here refreshing vivid seats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, vivid or tic pic, I don't know whatever wherever
Speaker 2: secondhand fucking tickets.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I just gotta get to this big game.
Speaker 1: The cost, man, this is wild. I thought you like
Speaker 1: had misplaced an apostrophe. No, you said you said that
Speaker 1: earlier that people were talking about it being on average
Speaker 1: eleven thousand per ticket.
Speaker 2: I thought you meant like one thousand one. I was like, oh, okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: the apostrophe was post. Nope, not even Commas, not even
Speaker 2: I'm all fused up, man, I'm all fucked up.
Speaker 1: Man. It's the end of the week, all right, I
Speaker 1: don't yeah, yeah, yeah, Look I got an apostrophe of
Speaker 1: my name. That's the only one of those things I
Speaker 1: can keep track of.
Speaker 3: But yeah, dude, right now, Like I think the cheapest
Speaker 3: ticket is like seven thousand dollars to go, and like
Speaker 3: the more expensive ones are like north of fourteen grand.
Speaker 2: For one game of the foos ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't for a game that is also way
Speaker 1: more fun to watch on TV.
Speaker 2: This feels like.
Speaker 3: Not if you get the baller package where you can
Speaker 3: be in a box suite that mimics the exact same
Speaker 3: things but you can look at the field from an
Speaker 3: even further distance, but also flick it up with all
Speaker 3: the homies and flex.
Speaker 2: On the grand It's just a flex, that's all it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it.
Speaker 3: I mean I get the idea of like having your
Speaker 3: team and you fucking you ride with them wherever they go.
Speaker 3: But at a certain point, it's like that cost is
Speaker 3: just fucking wild because apparently the last time these two
Speaker 3: teams met up that was like previously had like the
Speaker 3: most expensive tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you're mentioning the teams and like what their
Speaker 1: fan base looks like, it does make sense that like
Speaker 1: San Francisco would have the largest population of rich assholes
Speaker 1: who would be driving the driving the market up on
Speaker 1: this shit.
Speaker 3: Hey, but I mean, but the thing is, dude, there
Speaker 3: are people who are like super working class and they'll
Speaker 3: they're waiting for their team to go, Like I just
Speaker 3: have this money set aside to go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: It's just wild what like these events do to people.
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, like the flights and
Speaker 2: shit are up exponentially, Like to go from Kansas City
Speaker 2: to Vegas, It's like up almost four hundred percent. The
Speaker 2: hotels are on average seventy five percent higher. Like it's
Speaker 2: this gouge fest.
Speaker 1: Baby, gouge Fest three thousand. Uh, don't even try and
Speaker 1: buy Chex Mix at the Las Vegas airport thuse they
Speaker 1: are thirteen dollars. I think they have the record.
Speaker 2: For the snack pack. Yeah, if you want the full
Speaker 2: bag that you would buy to like kind of share
Speaker 2: with friends, sixty three dollars. I'm just guessing. I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: I think it has the record for Chex Mix with
Speaker 1: photographic evidence. If people aren't aware that. Kylie Brakman, the comedian,
Speaker 1: was like, I just want to do a little experiment.
Speaker 1: I'm going to start recording prices of checks Mix that
Speaker 1: I see in the airport and like put nine ninety
Speaker 1: nine down for La Guardia nine for like, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: isn't the it isn't like the largest bag checks Mix,
Speaker 1: it's the bag that costs I think they said like
Speaker 1: four ninety nine at a New York Dwayne Reed or
Speaker 1: CBS right. And then since then, the the data has
Speaker 1: come pouring in and yeah, Vegas, Vegas has topped them
Speaker 1: all with thirteen twenty nine.
Speaker 2: So thirteen twenty nine, what happened to us? We used
Speaker 2: to be a country of laws?
Speaker 1: None, we turned it over.
Speaker 2: We turned it over.
Speaker 1: That's actually another thing that's trending. But before we get
Speaker 1: off the super Bowl, I feel like halftime show is
Speaker 1: going to be uh is gonna seems like it's sneaking
Speaker 1: up on some people. The comment I have heard is like,
Speaker 1: just does that sure have that many hits? And it
Speaker 1: turns out to you heard, yes, Wow, he does have
Speaker 1: he does have?
Speaker 2: Who said? Who asked that question? Who asked you? Where?
Speaker 2: Did you hear that? My friend John?
Speaker 1: He was like, what he has that? Isn't that your
Speaker 1: real name?
Speaker 2: Okay, my friend John?
Speaker 3: Oh No, it's gonna be I mean, I don't know
Speaker 3: what songs you pick. Yeah, I'm just looking off the
Speaker 3: my the My Way album you make me want to
Speaker 3: leave the one with plus uh nice and slow my
Speaker 3: Way Way Jim. Yeah, unless you're gonna have like even
Speaker 3: the latter days enough like omg, oh my god, those
Speaker 3: feel more like super Bowl songs probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And also he is like one of the great performers,
Speaker 1: even if you're not, like, even if you're not buying
Speaker 1: the Usher Greatest Hits album, like, he's somebody that you
Speaker 1: would still pay to see live. So I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna be surprised at how
Speaker 1: good this show is going to be.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to go to his live show. Hopefully
Speaker 2: calls me on stage and I get grinded on he does.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna do that during the super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Just hey, hey, where's Roger Goodell? At get up here, Roger,
Speaker 2: get off here, Roger, You're in trouble. Roger takes a
Speaker 2: shirt off, starts body rolling in front of him. He's like,
Speaker 2: I guess lean into this, hope. He just does that
Speaker 2: for the whole halftime, just whispering yeah, and then the
Speaker 2: band just grooving behind him, And I'm like.
Speaker 3: All right, folks, thank you so much, Grace, I have football,
Speaker 3: Thank I Muscha Raymond. I'm not gonna do my fucking
Speaker 3: songs because you can pay to see me up the
Speaker 3: street at my Vegas residency.
Speaker 1: All right, For a brief moment, this morning, everybody was wondering,
Speaker 1: is Trump really gonna get disqualified from this election by
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? Is this happening?
Speaker 2: Said that some people really wanted that. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It felt.
Speaker 3: Look anytime you see the Supreme it is a moment
Speaker 3: you were like, I don't know, man, maybe the Supreme
Speaker 3: Court isn't full of shit. Maybe they will potentially look
Speaker 3: at things like, you know, maybe Clarence Thomas his own
Speaker 3: wife involved in this supposed insurrection, and maybe he could
Speaker 3: recuse himself.
Speaker 2: No. Once that happened, I was like, nah, man, the
Speaker 2: fix is in the fix.
Speaker 1: The other detail that I found out about, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: like part of me I was I was like, well,
Speaker 1: why are they even hearing it? Like the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: you know, as much as they like to say it's
Speaker 1: like balls and strikes, they can justify doing anything. Like
Speaker 1: they're smart enough about the law that they can find anything.
Speaker 2: Well, they have to hear it in order to swat
Speaker 2: it down. That's what they do, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because because Colorado was successful in getting him off the ballot,
Speaker 2: so they're there to be like ah ah, we define
Speaker 2: an insurrection, not the word, not the Constitution.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of weird arguments. I mean, even
Speaker 3: like the liberal justices we're sort of arguing to sort
Speaker 3: of like, ah, like there is there's some murky stuff here,
Speaker 3: like how can one state really determine if like, you know,
Speaker 3: just because this one state made this determination, how does
Speaker 3: that affect every other states? There was also a lot
Speaker 3: of like from the conservative justices talking about like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, I just don't believe a state has that
Speaker 3: kind of power to do something like that, except if
Speaker 3: it comes to denying people body autonomy or having wildly
Speaker 3: inconsistent voter registration or voter ID laws that could you know,
Speaker 3: potentially sway an election. So it's definitely frustrating, But I
Speaker 3: don't think, you know, obviously this was never going to
Speaker 3: be the thing that saved this country from Trump. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's just going to have to happen in November, that's
Speaker 3: the only way.
Speaker 1: The detail that blew my mind though, was they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, the only only one of these justices who
Speaker 1: was on the Supreme Court the last time that the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court determined a presidential election Bush v. Gore, where
Speaker 1: they stopped the recount in Florida, stop the count was
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas, and but they also pointed out three other justices,
Speaker 1: including Roberts, were young lawyers helping the Bush campaign in Florida.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just that is a wild story if
Speaker 2: I talked about it before, but like the Brooks Brothers
Speaker 2: riot or whatever. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: I think there's just so much too when a lot
Speaker 3: of people were just even like talking about the definition
Speaker 3: of insurrection, like it's been agreed upon, like what the
Speaker 3: definition definition is since the ninth tenth century, Like persons
Speaker 3: engage in an insurrection.
Speaker 2: By knowingly playing any role in an assemblage, assemblage resisting
Speaker 2: by force the implementation of any law for public reasons.
Speaker 2: Was there an assemblage? Yeah? Was there a resistance to
Speaker 2: federal law? Yes, it was their purpose public yes, yes, yes, yes, But.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's just like your opinion, man, It.
Speaker 2: Is just like your opinion man. So they're just a
Speaker 2: group of unserious people in black robes. And but it's
Speaker 2: even funny because like even look at Texas, you're like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, I don't know where we're at with these
Speaker 2: with this body exactly. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about airport price gouging. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 1: And so there's a story that is going nuts on
Speaker 1: the right and like center right media, which is McDonald's
Speaker 1: prices are too high and it's which check check mark, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's Joe Biden's fault.
Speaker 2: All right, fine, yeah, the backlas.
Speaker 1: First of all, the backlash to the just prices has
Speaker 1: been so severe that the CEO of McDonald's just told
Speaker 1: investors that the restaurant's new focus is affordability.
Speaker 2: Which which is different than the last year's shareholder meeting,
Speaker 2: where he said the emphasis is gonna be on just
Speaker 2: turning on the money hose, baby, yeah, just fucking them
Speaker 2: directly in the wallet. Yeah. Right. Our mandate this year,
Speaker 2: folks is to fuck your wallet. Okay.
Speaker 3: And now they're like, oh boy, because I mean we're
Speaker 3: talking about this all the time. Fast food was like
Speaker 3: the thing in America that you could be like whatever, man,
Speaker 3: I could get, I can get like my stomach torn
Speaker 3: up just for a couple bucks eating a fast food,
Speaker 3: And now it's like aspirational.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the big detail that I think this whole story
Speaker 1: underlines is that businesses don't just charge what they need
Speaker 1: to meet expenses, because their argument is like Biden gave
Speaker 1: workers too much power, and now that is like driving
Speaker 1: costs up. It's just like not the way business works.
Speaker 1: The way business works is that businesses charge what they
Speaker 1: can get or what they think they can get. That
Speaker 1: they will charge as much as they possibly can, yeah,
Speaker 1: without completely putting you off.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: And as evidence of this, people were also pointing out
Speaker 1: so the big detail that got people upset, especially on
Speaker 1: the right, is McDonald's is charging eighteen dollars for a
Speaker 1: big Mac and it's actually the big Mac combo deal.
Speaker 1: Still way too much, but they were doing it at
Speaker 1: an airport, like these are airport prices that they're like
Speaker 1: you realize.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, where is it eighteen?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in airports, which yeah.
Speaker 2: The yeah, they've got you by the throat at the airport.
Speaker 1: But that's the that also underlines the main point, which
Speaker 1: is that it's not like, oh and now this specific
Speaker 1: item up line is forcing our hands, like we just
Speaker 1: have these automated machines that raise the price. They charge
Speaker 1: you more at the airport, not because airport labor is more.
Speaker 1: But because they can, because you are captive.
Speaker 2: You are desperado in there, and they're like, I can't
Speaker 2: go anywhere. They're like, they're like, actually, the cost of
Speaker 2: this Vibe magazine on the upc thing says five Yeah,
Speaker 2: fuck you seventy six bucks, asshole, welcome to Hudson News.
Speaker 2: You fuck with Now give me your baby or get lost.
Speaker 1: This is actually going viral elsewhere because this kind of
Speaker 1: feels like a story where they like some part of
Speaker 1: them recognized, oh wait, we got this wrong. This is
Speaker 1: a story about high prices at airports. And then they
Speaker 1: made this other thing go viral because Kylie Brakman, as mentioned,
Speaker 1: started the spreadsheet with the price of airport checks mix
Speaker 1: and so now people are like talking about that. The
Speaker 1: same company at like Wall Street journals writing about like
Speaker 1: the ten dollars checks mix bag, right, and yeah, and
Speaker 1: why this is a great time to buy stock in
Speaker 1: Hudson News.
Speaker 2: Yes, because they can fucking do whatever they want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's I mean, I'm telling you as much as
Speaker 2: I love Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1: Oh, Burbank Airport is burban believable. The bottle the most
Speaker 1: expensive bottle of water i've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a fucking naked juice. It requires a credit
Speaker 2: check to even look at them. That's how fucked up
Speaker 2: it is. And I don't understand whatever that's I get it.
Speaker 2: I get it, and I know and I realized too,
Speaker 2: as my parents would always be like, no, we're just
Speaker 2: like eat before, eat before you go. I remember eat
Speaker 2: before we went to the airport. Yeah, I'm not fucking
Speaker 2: buying that shit over there. But this is it's just
Speaker 2: wild because so the system we've entrusted to run our
Speaker 2: civilization is like a market economy with fewer and fewer
Speaker 2: checks on the people in charge. And that means that
Speaker 2: it is a system that will charge as much as
Speaker 2: they possibly can get away with charging you at any
Speaker 2: given moment, in any situation. And you know, if we're
Speaker 2: in a water crisis in the future, like more of
Speaker 2: a water crisis in the future, that's not what their problem,
Speaker 2: that's their opportunity, you know. Yeah, and we are instead
Speaker 2: like finding just bending ourselves into pretzels as a mainstream
Speaker 2: media to shift the blame to the worker making too
Speaker 2: much money. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a tail as
Speaker 2: old as time. You know, it can't be like the
Speaker 2: stories can't suddenly be like we need to rain in
Speaker 2: corporate greed, and it's not because we're paying living Actually,
Speaker 2: people are being paid sub subsistence wages despite all of that. Real,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be some form because you know that it's
Speaker 2: their friends. It's like, hey man, my friend who owns
Speaker 2: a bunch of franchises saying they're getting killed because the
Speaker 2: poor people want to get paid more.
Speaker 1: Okay, I write that. I can write that up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I write that up this. Yeah, minimum wage increase is
Speaker 1: actually abusive to us, the business owners.
Speaker 2: Yeah no. And I'm like, you look at the money
Speaker 2: like McDonald's, Like none, I don't see anything that suggests
Speaker 2: this is like you guys are doing absolutely everything you can,
Speaker 2: Like we're on razor thin margins. Okay, that we just
Speaker 2: you don't look at the CEO pay. Okay, just don't
Speaker 2: look at the CEO pay. Right. That's the other.
Speaker 1: So they're focusing on worker pay. Meanwhile, the CEO of
Speaker 1: McDonald's gave like paid himself ten million dollars in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty while while they were like missing big performance targets,
Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty one, he doubled that he
Speaker 1: made twenty million in twenty twenty one, all right, and
Speaker 1: then he took a pay cut and went back down
Speaker 1: seventeen point eight. So you know, people throw the word.
Speaker 2: That's wild to go from. Hey, look, we kind of
Speaker 2: weren't hitting a lot of the KPIs here in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: all right, just give me ten million, then twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, baby, give me fucking twenty You know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a pay cut, just not shave three
Speaker 2: million off during the pandemic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be paid all three Yeah, twelve hundred
Speaker 3: times higher than the median McDonald's employee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wildalkout anyway, So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cool cool cool cool cool cooll. But it's actually
Speaker 2: it's because they're paying the workers too much. Good Biden,
Speaker 2: Thanks love Biden, Thanks Byron. Keep talking to the ghosts, Homy.
Speaker 1: Yeah and the Yeah, McDonald's charges more money for the
Speaker 1: one reason that they want to, and they think they can.
Speaker 1: And then you know when it turned out when they
Speaker 1: found out, oh shit, we're not Disneyland.
Speaker 2: Yeah we can't be there. There are other games in town.
Speaker 2: Nobody has their brand loyalty to us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got put back in check, all right. And then
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about this video that was going
Speaker 1: viral where Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity decided to interview Curtis Sliwah,
Speaker 1: who's the head of Uncle.
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 1: Was both with very iconic headwear. So he's the Guardian
Speaker 1: Angels were around to the late seventies early eighties, where
Speaker 1: they wear like a red jacket and a red beret
Speaker 1: and they are basically like vigilantes who fight crime in
Speaker 1: New York City. They got a lot of positive press
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media at the time, and then they
Speaker 1: kind of disappeared and.
Speaker 2: Quietly it was revealed that like a lot of the
Speaker 2: stories that this guy was telling were lies, like he
Speaker 2: had kidnapped himself at well, I think he said he
Speaker 2: was kidnapped by three off duty transit cops. I think
Speaker 2: was a thing that happened. Yeah, and also making up
Speaker 2: tales of how they saved people, Yeah, didn't happen.
Speaker 1: It was all just you know, the guys that does
Speaker 1: not seem to be telling the truth about anything ever.
Speaker 1: But anyways, Mayor Eric Adams just started to distribute prepaid
Speaker 1: credit cards to migrants and he was pissed Hannity was pissed,
Speaker 1: and so they interview him on the streets, standing with
Speaker 1: his crew of vigilantes, and like as he's being interviewed,
Speaker 1: the guys in the red jackets behind him run off camera,
Speaker 1: and then the camera pans to show him beating, like
Speaker 1: them beating the ship out of somebody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can hear it. It was. It was all
Speaker 2: live on wax for viewers. Here here's the moment where
Speaker 2: like he's like, yeah, hold on, Sean, let me show
Speaker 2: you this. This is us just justice in action. Oh,
Speaker 2: in fact, our guys should have just taken down one
Speaker 2: of the migrant guys right here on the corner forty
Speaker 2: second and seventh. While all this panned the camera, they've
Speaker 2: taken over. They've taken over, Like the camera over there
Speaker 2: fit all possible, they can go around.
Speaker 1: Audio goes out, but they've got somebody like in a chokehold,
Speaker 1: just roughing them up. Yeah, just right, and then like
Speaker 1: put him on the ground, roughing him up. He goes
Speaker 1: on to like brag about how much they he saved
Speaker 1: him up.
Speaker 3: He had been shoplifting. The Guardian Angels spotted him, stopped him,
Speaker 3: he resisted, and let's just say we gave him a
Speaker 3: little pain. Compliance his mother back in Venezuela felt felt
Speaker 3: the vibrations. He's sucking concrete. The cops scraped them off
Speaker 3: the asphalt. He's on his way to jail, but they'll
Speaker 3: cut him loose.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I wonder why, because we come to find out, you
Speaker 3: fucking creep, that this dude was not a migrant. There's
Speaker 3: some guy from the Bronx who was just like heckling them,
Speaker 3: who's like, man, fuck out of your Fox News and
Speaker 3: the Guardian n asels, and so they decided to fuck
Speaker 3: this guy up. And immediately Curtis Ly was like, oh, yes,
Speaker 3: guy's from Venezuela.
Speaker 2: He's a shoplifter. The NYPD they even gave a comment.
Speaker 2: They're like, as far as we know, this is just
Speaker 2: some guy from the Bronx who like they put their
Speaker 2: hands on we have no evidence that there was shoplifting
Speaker 2: or he was involved in any shoplifting. But somehow sliwa
Speaker 2: just from off camera. He immediate, that's what's so wild.
Speaker 3: Those people leave off camera, they go behind camera and
Speaker 3: he's just like, yeah, so they got one of these
Speaker 3: migrants from Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Just now, I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 1: So you saw him shoplifting from across There's a lot
Speaker 1: of logic going on here.
Speaker 3: Is he unless the guy was like, I'm from Venezuela
Speaker 3: and I'm shoplifting, and I am a migrant and I
Speaker 3: have received one of Eric Adams's debit card. Like the
Speaker 3: guy just presumed all of it, which is so weird
Speaker 3: because this guy is such an opportunist. Right, Like when
Speaker 3: the Guardian Angels first started out, there was this guy,
Speaker 3: one of the Guardian angel was like killed by a
Speaker 3: police officer in Buffalo, and Slievewa was so fucking bad
Speaker 3: faith about it that he suddenly was like, oh, the
Speaker 3: guy who was killed by the police was an African
Speaker 3: American guy. He's like, this just shows you what's the
Speaker 3: problem with the police. It's racist and it's this white
Speaker 3: officer being protected by the police. And then you come
Speaker 3: back around to just being like, yeah, we're basically like
Speaker 3: brown shirts, right, that's.
Speaker 1: Really what it feels like. Yeah, it feels like that
Speaker 1: they're just this is the rise of fascism, you know.
Speaker 1: H Like crime has gone, so people are like they're
Speaker 1: back because crime is out of control now. Like he
Speaker 1: he ran for mayor and was the Republican nominee against
Speaker 1: Eric Adams. But you know, and the way it's covered
Speaker 1: is like in response to the migrant crisis in New York. Actually,
Speaker 1: crime has gone way down since the late seventies and
Speaker 1: early eighties, and the only reason they're making a comeback
Speaker 1: now is because America is getting way more you know,
Speaker 1: fash friendly, fashi fashionable. You know, oh oh, trademark, trademark fash.
Speaker 2: Hey write that down on a piece of paper and
Speaker 2: mail it to yourself, trademarked, copywritten. Yeah. Yeah, so just
Speaker 2: more bad faith, I mean, because it's wild too, Like
Speaker 2: that organization started off as predominantly like black, Hispanic Latino
Speaker 2: like members too, and now it's just like, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: just here to kind of uphold native is fucking you know,
Speaker 2: fear mongering, and we got these berets though, yeah, we
Speaker 2: got it. Now.
Speaker 1: We got a uniform though, and then YPD eventually was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys are good.
Speaker 2: Yeah even, but like this whole thing used to start
Speaker 2: off being like the cops suck and they don't do enough,
Speaker 2: and people were like, oh, yeah, maybe you got a
Speaker 2: point here, And now he's just become just basically like
Speaker 2: a cosplayer with his jacket on I didn't realize that
Speaker 2: the John Gotti's son put a hit out on him.
Speaker 2: Did you know this is that true? That's true something?
Speaker 2: And he no, And he was legitimately kidnapped and shot
Speaker 2: by two like two hitmen, and he jumped out of
Speaker 2: the moving car. He was shot in the groin and legs.
Speaker 3: They said, who said that's that's actually happened to Curtis Leewood,
Speaker 3: that's like not night, Okay, Yeah, it's like the actually
Speaker 3: John Gotty's son was like, he's like, I didn't like
Speaker 3: what he said about my dad apparently, so yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then but then in ninety two, admitted to faking
Speaker 1: a half dozen acts of heroism to gain publicity. In
Speaker 1: the group's earliers, he is just kind of like an
Speaker 1: open book.
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, I was trying about that. But if
Speaker 2: he gets shot in my groin, that that sets anything.
Speaker 1: He was like, I gotta tell you I was lying
Speaker 1: about these ones because now like bad stuff is really
Speaker 1: happening to Yeah, like I'm getting roughed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, Curtis, Curtis, Curtis. Yeah, it's just I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just wild though too, that you know. On Hannity
Speaker 2: you're just seeing this kind of horrific racial profiling just happened,
Speaker 2: and they're like, wow, oh yeah, his mother back home
Speaker 2: in Venezuela felt that cool. Cool, that was a cool line. Man. Wow.
Speaker 2: Fucking concrete. Yeah, I like to say that sucking concrete,
Speaker 2: it's real, just kind of it's evocative. You know, don't
Speaker 2: suck concrete, you all just.
Speaker 1: You know, to keep your mouth off the concrete, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please please. And and also if you work out airport,
Speaker 2: if you have any insight, can I really do? I'm
Speaker 2: just so fascinated because I'm going to be traveling in
Speaker 2: a couple of days. I'm gonna have to go and
Speaker 2: look at what the fuck's going with the check few. Yeah.
