Speaker 1: the comic book character Droupie Cave But people are he's
Speaker 1: become the latest cause celebree on the right. So we'll
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that, and of course we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about the latest Burger King release, the latest Burger
Speaker 1: King promo. It's a free burger for proving that there's
Speaker 1: life after death, which is not how I foresaw that
Speaker 1: that proof coming. But yeah, yeah, why not? Yeah, have
Speaker 1: it your way in the afterlife. All of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Stephen, we like to ask our guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that is revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are? Oh? Why Overwatch merge Q resetting m
Speaker 1: hmm merge. Yeah. The the with Overwatch two, they totally
Speaker 1: overrid Overwatch one. You can't even play Overwatch one now.
Speaker 1: But now with this Overwatch two, they're making you merge
Speaker 1: your accounts. If you were playing it on PC, you're
Speaker 1: planning on PlayStation, and this merge process is totally just
Speaker 1: screwing the dog, and I feel I'm scared. I'm scared
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen that I'm gonna lose all my skins. Ah.
Speaker 1: Now that's and then what you did, and you'd have
Speaker 1: to buy them all over again. You didn't buy any
Speaker 1: of these skins, right, you're not buying the way no
Speaker 1: I want got them in loot boxes that you win
Speaker 1: for being the best. Okay, you're like, I let you go.
Speaker 1: Actually I'm upside down. I am upside down on buying
Speaker 1: these Overwatch skins. Man On take Big Trouble. I've It's
Speaker 1: it's like this is like Big Coite all over again.
Speaker 1: So the emerge cue is like literally like you have
Speaker 1: to queue up to merge accounts or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: it says like you're in line, and then it'll be
Speaker 1: and then it goes down to like you know, it'll
Speaker 1: go down. You're seven in line, you're three, you're too,
Speaker 1: you're one. Oh you're again. So it's like trying to
Speaker 1: get on truth Social when it was like all waiting list,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you're number sixty three tho, you're number
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three thousand. Actually that's frustrating that seems like
Speaker 1: it's actually a customer service problem that was like designed
Speaker 1: to infuriate people like that feels like a skunk quirks
Speaker 1: in the building where they're just like, they don't pay
Speaker 1: us enough, so let's just like really antagonize our users
Speaker 1: here with this, which is probably true. They probably don't
Speaker 1: just don't have it staffed. I don't think the good,
Speaker 1: the good, the good people at Activision Blizzard would do that.
Speaker 1: Certainly not. They're one of the most scandal free game
Speaker 1: developers I can think of. What was there? Scandal was
Speaker 1: that the one where people were like having to crawl
Speaker 1: through dude the boss, like they remember that like a Cosby,
Speaker 1: Like the fucking guy who's running is an absolute fucking ghoul,
Speaker 1: and like it's all the sexual harassment ship, like this
Speaker 1: state of California is like y'all are fucking up terribly
Speaker 1: as employers. Yeah, and then as that all that ship
Speaker 1: went down, Microsoft bought them and he got away just
Speaker 1: with a fat paycheck, dude, wildest paycheck. Yeah, the vision
Speaker 1: was certainly active. You know, but if I can't play
Speaker 1: my blue Lucia skin that I dropped a white begger, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you? What is uh? What is a blue Lucia skin. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a blue he's a he's a he's a blue
Speaker 1: frog like, well, he's a he's a Brazilian DJ, but
Speaker 1: a blue frog costume. That's fine? Okay, oh wow, way
Speaker 1: the DJ does or the yeah? And I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm man playing this to Jack. Who's I mean he's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just doing that. You know, you know what would
Speaker 1: appeal to him? What's that Lucio suit? He got big
Speaker 1: plumpy thighs with that exo skeleton on the legs. Do
Speaker 1: look exactly so you might funk with the Lucio skin?
Speaker 1: What is What's something you think is overrated? After Pigeon Blush?
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a vendetta. It's gonna be a vendetta.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a deaf jam vendetta. Yeah, Oh, great game,
Speaker 1: great game. I always played as method Man in that one.
Speaker 1: Joe Budden was also a playable character if I'm not
Speaker 1: mistaken in that video game, um, which was one of
Speaker 1: the I think great hip hop early hip hop fighting games.
Speaker 1: Obviously there was shock Fu before that. M that we
Speaker 1: all should get down on. Who did Check Foo fight
Speaker 1: in the fighting game like Monsters? It wasn't like it
Speaker 1: was a shock. Foo was like the worst too, de
Speaker 1: fighting like it was it was it looked like shitty
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. Yeah. They just skinned more like an early
Speaker 1: demo version of Mortal Kombat and put Shack on top
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah. Yeah, it's always funny, like shocks a
Speaker 1: mummy with like spiky football patch, a lot of great
Speaker 1: character design. It's just like Shaq doesn't strike me as
Speaker 1: like somebody I want to be a in a fighting game.
Speaker 1: I feel, you know, like it reminds me of the
Speaker 1: story where he like stole Steve Nash's ABC show from him.
Speaker 1: But it's like the premise only fit Steve Nash. Steve
Speaker 1: Nash is like this athlete who can play all these
Speaker 1: different sports and games and it's like really great at it.
Speaker 1: But like Shack was just way more charismatic than him.
Speaker 1: So ABC was like give it to you if you
Speaker 1: want it. Check. But he's not like an athlete who
Speaker 1: can do all the different things. So it's like very uh,
Speaker 1: just didn't fit nor does Like what what if it
Speaker 1: was Mortal Combat but with Chack like that, that feels
Speaker 1: like a pitch that I was like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, the names. It's like you could fight Coudy
Speaker 1: or Beast or Colonel or Raja or me Fit. There's
Speaker 1: just like there's one character called Voodoo and I'm sure
Speaker 1: just a bunch of really uh historically accurate depictions of
Speaker 1: these characters. Yeah, yeah, very sensitive, actually a breakthrough and
Speaker 1: cultural depictions of various cultures. He gets his own game,
Speaker 1: but dude can't even win to Aaron Carter, So like,
Speaker 1: what's that about? What I don't I don't know that reference?
Speaker 1: What you don't remember when Aaron Carter sang sang the
Speaker 1: fable of how He'd be Shack? No, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: I wasn't the cartographers. I mean I remember. Wasn't like
Speaker 1: that was like a track, wasn't it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: yeah it wasn't. It wasn't meirs how I Beat Shack.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, was that the book Aaron Carter How
Speaker 1: I Beat Shock? Or that dumb single that he had
Speaker 1: and it was just a tale of how he beat Shack?
Speaker 1: In basketball? The songs called That's how I Beat Shock? Okay,
Speaker 1: And it's just really like insider basketball like footwork, just yeah,
Speaker 1: drop step yo, guys. Check it out. Guess what happened
Speaker 1: to me? Another crazy story, Come on a c. I
Speaker 1: was hanging at the court, just playing some ball, working
Speaker 1: on my game. Yeah, we heard it all. I heard
Speaker 1: the fans scream and I thought it was for me.
Speaker 1: But then I saw a shadow. It was twelve ft three.
Speaker 1: It was Shaquille O'Neil. What what did he say? How
Speaker 1: about some one on one you want to play? I
Speaker 1: told him, why not? I got some time. But when
Speaker 1: I beat you real bad, trying not to cry, it's
Speaker 1: like Jesus Christ, what it's wild when you can like
Speaker 1: when the when the rat, like when the bars are
Speaker 1: so weak upon first reading you already know the exact
Speaker 1: flow of it. Well, here's the thing. It's not even
Speaker 1: a rap. Oh my god, like psych him out. There
Speaker 1: are runs in those lines, like he's going on runs.
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's why there's no like thing about
Speaker 1: was like yeah, you know, like you know, force him
Speaker 1: to his left or anything like that, like something really
Speaker 1: a basketball related. It's like I slammed on him and
Speaker 1: that's how I beat Shack. I put a nail in
Speaker 1: his shoe, right, I said, Yo, Shack, you didn't tie
Speaker 1: your shoelace. He looked down. I stole the ball. I'm
Speaker 1: taking him to school. Now watch me all? Okay, thanks.
Speaker 1: I wonder if any coach just you know, googling late
Speaker 1: night before a game, came across the sudden and listened
Speaker 1: to it to see if they were an you know,
Speaker 1: they're like, how do you how do you prepare for Shack? Alright,
Speaker 1: Google boys just wipes off the white board. Said you
Speaker 1: gotta say this, yo, Shack, you didn't tie your shoe
Speaker 1: lace and then steal the ball? After that? Okay, then
Speaker 1: really the song? Yo? I said, I had a plan.
Speaker 1: I could change the pace. I said, Yo, Shack, you
Speaker 1: didn't tie your shoe lace. Look down, I stole the ball.
Speaker 1: I take him him to school. Now watch me y'all.
Speaker 1: That's like, first of all, you're not fucking dunking on Shack,
Speaker 1: Aaron Carter. I want to look like, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I'm now starting to get really angry that Aaron Carter
Speaker 1: is like, see now this is a really big tough
Speaker 1: guy energy from Aaron Carter. H you're not beating this
Speaker 1: deserves a miles. I think enough. Yeah, maybe you know, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe he's not right since he beat Shock. And that's
Speaker 1: why he's answering for that close to the song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was Shack involved in this song, Like is it
Speaker 1: Aaron Carter featuring Shack? That would be so funny because
Speaker 1: if not, they're doing Shack's voice, which would be unlicensed
Speaker 1: distract I think he's in the video, okay, it would
Speaker 1: make sense, Like I'm I'm sure. I wonder if it
Speaker 1: was like overlapping agency representation or something and they're like, Shack,
Speaker 1: you might as well do this, like we can get
Speaker 1: you like a licensing check because they're going to name
Speaker 1: check you, but the network paying for it, so everybody wins.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not how I scored one bucket on Shack.
Speaker 1: It'slies implies that he repeatedly is able to use the
Speaker 1: hey your your shoelaces untied? Well, that's one of the
Speaker 1: points which is disrespectful as fuck to Shack. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think you can only get away with that twice, Shack.
Speaker 1: Not in addition to be and this is peak kill,
Speaker 1: like this is he with hair? Yeah, he has his
Speaker 1: hair and looks pretty trimmed. This Blue Chips era Shack, right,
Speaker 1: I believe this is Lakers era Shack. Lakers are a
Speaker 1: shack for sure, this is the only reason they would
Speaker 1: do that song. But hold on, what was the score
Speaker 1: at one point? They showed the scoreboard in this okay,
Speaker 1: so one nineteen seventeen. So Eric Carter put up a
Speaker 1: hundred seventeen points on shock. That's fourth period though, that's
Speaker 1: fourth period, fourth period, not fourth quarter. Okay. And yeah,
Speaker 1: like there's nothing again. That's I don't know why we're
Speaker 1: treating this like some actual tactical analysis on how to
Speaker 1: be Shaquillo doing the basketball when it was like and
Speaker 1: then I did a slam, I did a three point
Speaker 1: You know, no one was doing that. You're doing that,
Speaker 1: I know. Oh my god, they just shot shown your hands.
Speaker 1: What is that? Oh no, see now, Shack, shack. I
Speaker 1: gotta pull your car, bro Shack. You could not You
Speaker 1: should not have let this happen. Man, I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess Aaron Carter is wait, it was a dream. It
Speaker 1: was all a dream. Okay. He used to read Word
Speaker 1: Up magazine. Okay, that makes sense, Thank god, thanks is too.
Speaker 1: Dream that you're beating Shack? Yeah like that. I like that.
Speaker 1: In the end, it's like in your fucking dreams, asshole. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe it's mom said, we didn't We didn't hear
Speaker 1: the line from the mom in the video, but it
Speaker 1: was inam is it in your dreams? Asshole? Oh? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: but oh man, it was all a dream. I guess
Speaker 1: that kind of thing could have never happened to be
Speaker 1: if it was a dream and it wasn't real. How
Speaker 1: to get a jersey with the name o'neia. You die
Speaker 1: in the dream, you die in real life. Dude, your
Speaker 1: mom felt bad that you didn't even make junior varsity
Speaker 1: and you were crying on that you didn't notice that
Speaker 1: you put the little Shock jersey in there to make
Speaker 1: you feel better the next morning, with the name O'Neil.
Speaker 1: It's like the most popular jersey in the city you
Speaker 1: live in, right, And his mom's like, I got you
Speaker 1: that for your birthday last Year's damn, I knew it was,
Speaker 1: really I do wonder it's interesting to me that, like
Speaker 1: I would love the oral history behind this, like whether
Speaker 1: you know you know how they're like certain action heroes
Speaker 1: who were who like won't die in their movies. They're like,
Speaker 1: I'll do it. If like, was this a note from
Speaker 1: Shock that like, no, it's a it's got to be
Speaker 1: a dream if I'm going to participate in this song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not a little this little white kid
Speaker 1: beat me right, which again, I would like to see
Speaker 1: a shock actually take Aaron Carter to fucking church on
Speaker 1: a court. Yes, with that shot, I've never I'm sorry, y'all,
Speaker 1: if you'll have ever seen somebody shoot a basketball, please
Speaker 1: watch the music video, because what the shooting mechanics of
Speaker 1: Aaron Carter I've never. I can tell you, I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. The version of this song coming
Speaker 1: together that I had in my mind was completely blown
Speaker 1: up by seeing him shoot a basketball, because my understanding
Speaker 1: was like he was he was somewhat like a pet,
Speaker 1: like a Jack Carlow, kind of like playing a league
Speaker 1: at least, and like that was something he loved basketball.
Speaker 1: But this this seems like it was completely foisted on him.
Speaker 1: And he had never picked up a basketball before this video,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Yeah, it must have been conceived
Speaker 1: an agency. God damn, the bar was so low, man,
Speaker 1: Like this guy was a Backstreet Boys little brother. And
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, he has a music video
Speaker 1: where he's fucking shock up on the court. They're having
Speaker 1: to cut around not only is basketball playing, but his
Speaker 1: dancing like the dance moves or even cut so you
Speaker 1: only see like a singular dance move at a time.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're so insane. No, hey man,
Speaker 1: an interesting, what Stephen did? We're supposed to talk about
Speaker 1: Activision Blizzard and we let them off the hook talking
Speaker 1: about Aaron Carter's jump shot. Imagine in the seventies if
Speaker 1: Andy Gibb had a sog about beating Kareem abdul jaby
Speaker 1: my big brothers the same. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated Aaron Carter's game? Yeah, so I think we
Speaker 1: can firmly he wasn't goo sencking in the video doesn't
Speaker 1: mean he wasn't scoring those points. He went from underhand
Speaker 1: to sidearm mid shot. That's called versatility, baby, that's called
Speaker 1: a scoop up and under something he can't even really dance. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he can't dance at all. This is all like, so
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: to say this. Thank you for showing me because this
Speaker 1: is underrated. I've it's been a while since something I
Speaker 1: was like passively dismissed from media, Like I look back
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this could bring me out of a
Speaker 1: fucking coma because it makes me so angry. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. Also, to suggest that you could score a
Speaker 1: hundred nineteen points on Shack with just the shoelace move. Also,
Speaker 1: it's disrespectful to him as an athlete. Also disrespectful to
Speaker 1: Shack as a prankster. Somebody prides himself on real dumb pranks,
Speaker 1: real dumb sports pranks. And uh, you know he's not
Speaker 1: fault for that. Ship. Come on, man, Carter's run on
Speaker 1: the Globetrotters was pretty pretty lucritive. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: the next five minutes of the pot. Although Matt you
Speaker 1: should see, oh man, I did forget he wasn't one
Speaker 1: of the and one mixtapes. Though, remember that we gotta
Speaker 1: show to do. People out there in radio land. Just
Speaker 1: look up the thirty thirty you'll yeah, you'll love it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break, we'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and let's talk Alex Jones, because I mean,
Speaker 1: we mentioned on a trending a couple of days ago
Speaker 1: that he is forced to pay close to a billion
Speaker 1: dollars in damages to the people whose lives he destroyed,
Speaker 1: and I don't know it was noteworthy for being seemingly
Speaker 1: deserved consequences for a rich white celebrity who yeah, just
Speaker 1: being you know, libelous, spreading just absolute nonsense. You know,
Speaker 1: it drove one of the parents to take their own
Speaker 1: lives because of the fucking harassment, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: this is what this guy was doing. And it's as wild, right,
Speaker 1: because when the far right isn't like crying or trying
Speaker 1: to convince like all their viewers that like drag queens
Speaker 1: are shooting old ladies because they have a Nativity scene
Speaker 1: outside their house, they are also doing their best to
Speaker 1: just like normalize actual, like illegal behavior. So like, for example, right,
Speaker 1: Alex Jones gets skull fucked legally with all these punitive
Speaker 1: damages and he has to pay for again constantly spreading
Speaker 1: lies that's leading to harassment and untold suffering from these
Speaker 1: parents who everyone is being told, oh, that's fake, it's nonsense.
Speaker 1: These kids are like synthetic or whatever the funk words
Speaker 1: that this guy was using. And we get at the
Speaker 1: First Amendment protects your right to free speech, but like, well,
Speaker 1: I feel like people are always saying this to conservatives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have free speech, you don't have the fucking right
Speaker 1: to just spread malicious bullshit that ends up in harassment.
Speaker 1: And again, who knows what someone becoming so down that
Speaker 1: they felt that they couldn't they couldn't bear to live anymore.
Speaker 1: So that is why he has to pay all the money.
Speaker 1: But the cavalry of like bullshitters have now arrived to
Speaker 1: sort of tell their followers that, like, this is actually
Speaker 1: an attack on your constitutional rights, you know, but this
Speaker 1: is actually, let's let's be real, they're trying to normalize
Speaker 1: this I legal behavior and like obscure any sense of
Speaker 1: morality around the words you speak. So Marjorie Taylor Green said,
Speaker 1: no matter what you think of Alex Jones, all he
Speaker 1: did was speak words. He was not the one who
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger for his words wrong. And did he apologize, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what freedom of speeches, freedom to speak words, political
Speaker 1: persecution must end. Mike Sernovich, Alex Jones killed no one.
Speaker 1: He apologized for his erroneous reports, of which there weren't
Speaker 1: many there were Whatevertheless, nevertheless, in a trial where he
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to defend himself on free speech grounds because
Speaker 1: it doesn't apply He's now being ordered to pay hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. Stalin's ghost has returned. Stalin's ghost
Speaker 1: has returned. Could I feel he's trying to be poetic? Maybe?
Speaker 1: But that's all right. I mean, like, when was the
Speaker 1: last time his ghost showed up? Was it when he
Speaker 1: was around? Returned? His ghost has returned. The first time
Speaker 1: ghost took off for a little bit. But the ghost
Speaker 1: is back. Oh good, Okay, so that's what's happening. Oh,
Speaker 1: Stalin's ghost is back, y'all. That's what happened. That's what happened.
Speaker 1: But I mean, again, I think everything they're saying is
Speaker 1: pretty much it's it's bullshit, except for again, I think
Speaker 1: the one fact that they have is Alex Jones did
Speaker 1: not commit the actual shooting. That's that's really the only
Speaker 1: defense that you have other than that, Like Jones himself said, quote,
Speaker 1: if questioning public events and free speech is banned because
Speaker 1: it might hurt somebody's feelings, we are not in America anymore.
Speaker 1: And I think this is like the same. You know,
Speaker 1: this is the tactic. It's like you were not questioning,
Speaker 1: you were outright lying and making statements as if they
Speaker 1: were fact with the massive platform and ruining people's lives
Speaker 1: right after he was told he was doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I like to think of big, like macro stuff like
Speaker 1: this on the micro level, like when people are like
Speaker 1: it does you the way I did? How people get
Speaker 1: upset about like, oh, you're infringing on free speech. But
Speaker 1: if this was a P T A B. And one
Speaker 1: parent got up and said, hey, for the bake sale,
Speaker 1: Bethany used craizins instead of raisins and the cookies, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, you can't say that. That's not true. You
Speaker 1: can't say that. I'd be like, and no, it would
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you're freezing on my free speech, and
Speaker 1: be like they're that's that's here. This is a reason.
Speaker 1: But I are died crazy. How many times do I
Speaker 1: have to tell you that they died? Syntheticicked out that right?
Speaker 1: And I mean again, you even look like this is
Speaker 1: the the same ship is happening like over and over again,
Speaker 1: like the way they're kind of framing it, this is
Speaker 1: the same thing the Alex Jones go on to say.
Speaker 1: It goes on to say, after this, they want to
Speaker 1: scare everybody away from freedom and scare everybody away from
Speaker 1: questioning val day and whatever happened there, I'm sorry what
Speaker 1: you're already hold on, we're just questioning. And then he like,
Speaker 1: then right after you said that, he's like talking about
Speaker 1: his vitamin supplements and goes like, I'm I need hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars in donations please. He got about
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty five thousand dollars already from like
Speaker 1: some weird Christian right like fundraising platform, and he said,
Speaker 1: now they're coming after your free speech. Now, they're coming
Speaker 1: after your right to listen to what you want and
Speaker 1: to hear what you want. M h uh huh. But again,
Speaker 1: I think this is all just like part of their
Speaker 1: very you know, commonly used tool which is very clever
Speaker 1: to get your audience prepared to view and in like
Speaker 1: an inevitable event, as some kind of conspiracy against their side.
Speaker 1: You know, like the message boards are full of ship
Speaker 1: like and tweets. You see it all watch more for
Speaker 1: like more people on the right are gonna get sued
Speaker 1: for free speech, is like this weird phrase here, getting
Speaker 1: sued for free speech. Hold on, you're getting sued for lying.
Speaker 1: That's then, I think that's where it's clever they've convinced people.
Speaker 1: Now that's saying whatever you want, no matter how honest
Speaker 1: it is, it just go. I've conflated that with the
Speaker 1: constitutional right of free speech, and rather than like saying,
Speaker 1: these people are making libelous statements to try and manipulate
Speaker 1: their viewers and that will most likely lead to legal issues.
Speaker 1: But again, someone's gonna get money taken away. And you
Speaker 1: know they're talking about free speech, so you know it's
Speaker 1: whether if it's lying about others to stoke violence, they
Speaker 1: call that free speech. If you're menacing people with firearms
Speaker 1: and public that's my Second Amendment right. If you're bullying
Speaker 1: trans kids, it's protecting my kids. So they ascribe all
Speaker 1: these like very noble concepts to their bigotry, like as
Speaker 1: a way to intellectually insulate their followers from having any
Speaker 1: moment of like introspection or self analysis, because if they
Speaker 1: can frame their hatred as like a righteous endeavor, there's
Speaker 1: no need to analyze that. No, that's freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: I'm protecting my kids. What else do I'm sorry, that's
Speaker 1: an unassailable point. And if you want to be really disingenuous,
Speaker 1: you can just sit there and say, well, I'm already
Speaker 1: at the top of morality mountain. No need to, no
Speaker 1: need to look at what I'm actually doing, because I've
Speaker 1: already framed it as I'm protecting my family rather than
Speaker 1: I am attacking people. The inevitable thing they're also preparing for,
Speaker 1: preparing their listeners for is also other mass shooting. I mean,
Speaker 1: you see him doing it already with you all day
Speaker 1: and just every mass shooting. Like it's funny that their
Speaker 1: defense is like, he apologized for this, and he did,
Speaker 1: like he said one bad thing and apologized for it
Speaker 1: and everything's good now. And even in his like response
Speaker 1: to the ruling is like and now we can't question
Speaker 1: you all day. Yeah, And so he's like already made
Speaker 1: connection in his listen listener's mind between like, so go
Speaker 1: harass the you've all day parents. And he's also on
Speaker 1: the record as saying that he doesn't believe any of
Speaker 1: the ship that he says that he's just like a
Speaker 1: wrestling like kfee you know, bullshit person, it's just trying
Speaker 1: to sell fuck neutraceuticals. Yeah, well he's selling him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a problem, and I'm no and I'm no
Speaker 1: professional lawyer type, so shout out in the comments. If
Speaker 1: you are in in between in between comments of talking
Speaker 1: about my vocal fry and how the episode was unlistenable,
Speaker 1: that's a whole. But it's that feels like such a big,
Speaker 1: big daddy wump of money that it feels more like
Speaker 1: symbolic than anything. But like, what are the odds of
Speaker 1: him actually run in that cash? Like what's right? Will
Speaker 1: that ever happen? Probably? Well, we have stuff feazed like
Speaker 1: you know that. Yeah, we were asking that when when
Speaker 1: the ruling first came through, And it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: say because you know, there are massive industries of people
Speaker 1: who are extremely well educated and well connected who are
Speaker 1: designed at finding ways to protect people's money for them,
Speaker 1: you know, so that they can get a piece of
Speaker 1: the money. That is like how capitalism works in America
Speaker 1: is just going and finding ways to help rich people
Speaker 1: protect their money from taxes or from legal rulings. So no,
Speaker 1: probably not, But maybe that the theory behind going so
Speaker 1: high is that you like get it some middle ground
Speaker 1: there that still ruins him and makes it so that
Speaker 1: having having a podcast and you know, streaming platform where
Speaker 1: you just lie, like tell the most malicious lies possible
Speaker 1: about people going through inevitable tragedies caused by the lack
Speaker 1: of protections in America that like that is no longer
Speaker 1: viewed as a profitable business, is what I'm hoping the
Speaker 1: outcome of this is. But yeah, I mean they say
Speaker 1: it's again like some like economic forensics people are like
Speaker 1: they they say that they think he's probably worth between
Speaker 1: like anywhere of between a hundred and thirty and like
Speaker 1: two dred seventy million dollars when he combined his personal
Speaker 1: wealth and like the info warship. But again, like so
Speaker 1: a lot of people like I don't think people aren't
Speaker 1: going to get the full settlements. That's that's just not
Speaker 1: that's just what was that That's what the judgment was.
Speaker 1: But this one person said, quote, it's very difficult to
Speaker 1: collect on judgments, especially against individuals like this who often
Speaker 1: hide their assets behind shell corporations. I've been trying to
Speaker 1: collect on a large amount a large judgment against another
Speaker 1: odious wealthy man for several years. It is expensive, time consuming,
Speaker 1: and frustrating. In addition, Jones may declare bankruptcy in our
Speaker 1: system Sadly, many defendants like Jones cleverly avoid payment for
Speaker 1: years or forever. Right so like his main company has
Speaker 1: already filed for bankruptcy, so he I mean like he
Speaker 1: could declare personal bankruptcy like Michael Scott, you just go
Speaker 1: out into the street and yell bankruptcy. And but I
Speaker 1: don't know, and I don't think he'll be able to
Speaker 1: avoid like he's gonna have to pay yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: just it's hard to know what that amount is going
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, in one one way or another,
Speaker 1: his life is kind of his financial future is fucked.
Speaker 1: So I mean that that gives me a small sense
Speaker 1: of joy knowing that his financial future is fucked. And
Speaker 1: maybe like at whatever, you know, media planning meetings, that
Speaker 1: people are like, well this doesn't seem as financially feasible
Speaker 1: as financially solve them as it used to before the
Speaker 1: suited this motherfucker'. I mean, because the way they'll probably
Speaker 1: look at it is like, well, if you don't have
Speaker 1: the full amount, whatever you do got like run your ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not like a lot of the
Speaker 1: I don't think he's most people like he's not gonna
Speaker 1: fucking just like skate off with all his cash, Like
Speaker 1: he's gonna like it's gonna fucking hurt now just about
Speaker 1: what kind of maneuvering he does. But it's not going
Speaker 1: to be like ha ha duck to that one. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about other stuff, and we're back and Burger King is
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're putting that people have done
Speaker 1: this before in the past. I feel like they used
Speaker 1: to be more common early twentieth century. People would be like,
Speaker 1: there's a massive financial reward for anyone who can take
Speaker 1: a picture of a fairy or you know, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the rewards have gotten significantly diminished though unfortunately since that time.
Speaker 1: So Burger King is doing a promotion this Halloween. Now,
Speaker 1: just the idea of Burger King doing a Halloween promotion
Speaker 1: might cause some people to have some negative memories. So
Speaker 1: we're just gonna say it right up front. What the
Speaker 1: last time Burger King did a big Halloween promotion They
Speaker 1: did a black burger that turned everyone's poop green, which
Speaker 1: they released a burger that was black or I guess no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think the bun was black, which they claimed was
Speaker 1: like from the salty or the smoky infusion of a
Speaker 1: one sauce like there was a one baked into the
Speaker 1: bun and people are like, actually, it's like this weird
Speaker 1: food coloring that is so pouring to the human body
Speaker 1: that like the intestines can't like can't absorb it, and
Speaker 1: then it comes out as some of the speculation was
Speaker 1: that it was bile, like that's what was turning the poop.
Speaker 1: They had probably so much concentrated food die to make
Speaker 1: a thing just here black that it's like either a
Speaker 1: ton of dark green or a ton of blue or something.
Speaker 1: You ain't getting true black. When like in Japan when
Speaker 1: they did like the black black inc which probably yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And but for America's like, I don't know, just a
Speaker 1: bunch of fucking green to make that work, dumped it
Speaker 1: in there. So this one seems like it's unlikely to
Speaker 1: give you green poops, although we we don't know yet.
Speaker 1: It's it's still very early on in the stages. But
Speaker 1: this is called the Home of the Ghosts Whopper. It
Speaker 1: seems like the Ghost Whopper would have been the but
Speaker 1: they pluralized at Home of the Ghosts Whopper not not
Speaker 1: possessed a different thing. The Ghost Whopper is a different thing.
Speaker 1: It's a different thing. Okay, I've already eaten. Well, I
Speaker 1: think as a tie into the ghost Swapper, which did
Speaker 1: the one that you ate? Was it? Maybe? Maybe the
Speaker 1: addition is now it's multiple ghosts in the Whopper, but
Speaker 1: I have eaten multiple Whopper like me, and the comments
Speaker 1: for that one too. Making a plural is just very
Speaker 1: questionable because then it's ghosts swappers ghost Yeah it's in there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, as a tie in with the ghost Swapper,
Speaker 1: they are adding a ghost detector to their app, which
Speaker 1: is a real ghost detector in the sense that okay
Speaker 1: it has it has. They're adding an electromagnet electromagnetic field
Speaker 1: detector inside the BkP, which is something your phone already
Speaker 1: has like the air apps. For this, I was, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was with my at our family reunion this last year.
Speaker 1: We have like a dinner at this hotel that everyone
Speaker 1: says is haunted, and like my twelve year old cousins
Speaker 1: were all like running around with a ghost detector app
Speaker 1: and apparently it actually detects electro magnetic fields, which our phones.
Speaker 1: I'm not not did they tell you that or did
Speaker 1: you look that up later? I they told me that.
Speaker 1: And now as part of researching this story. Our writer
Speaker 1: j M has told me that it's a real thing.
Speaker 1: That it like, our phones contain magnetic field sensors, and
Speaker 1: if your magnetic field sensor detects a ghost in your
Speaker 1: field via the magnetic field detector, you will get a
Speaker 1: coupon for a free baker. So that's that's the reward
Speaker 1: for proving there is life after death and that our
Speaker 1: consciousness does go on after we passed from our mortal
Speaker 1: Back to the cell phone thing, right, are our cell
Speaker 1: phones already are like they emit radiation. That was like
Speaker 1: the whole thing of like remember being like don't put
Speaker 1: it towards your head back in like the nineties and ship.
Speaker 1: So is that meter just gonna be like treating itself?
Speaker 1: Like is that funk up its own ship because it's
Speaker 1: already admitting its own radio. I don't. I'm just like
Speaker 1: it feels easy to gain, right, So, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how it interacts with the radiation coming to
Speaker 1: your phone. But people do point out that the reason
Speaker 1: that the ghost hunting industry has belomed onto e MF
Speaker 1: detectors is because there are there's a ton of the
Speaker 1: m F fields out there, Like you're okay, your mouse
Speaker 1: is emitting e m F detectors right now if you're
Speaker 1: using the mouse. You know, phones do it, two way radios,
Speaker 1: any kind of electronic device, which so you're using a
Speaker 1: cell phone that has a e m F detector, but
Speaker 1: the cell phone itself, like you said, is letting off
Speaker 1: e m F fields. So a camera battery pack is
Speaker 1: also something that so for like ghost hunters, like e
Speaker 1: m F is the best thing because it's basically a
Speaker 1: confirmation biased machine. Look at this, The whole place is
Speaker 1: lightening up in this best buy. My my girlfriend watches
Speaker 1: the Ghost Adventures show a lot and they have one
Speaker 1: in there that will when it detects a ghost, it'll
Speaker 1: detect like a stick figure. They're like, oh, somebody's some
Speaker 1: some presidents has appeared on your shoulder and it's a
Speaker 1: stick figure, and then it will move so erratically. If
Speaker 1: it was a ghost, it was the ghost of somebody
Speaker 1: being not too much like rock tumbler or something. They're
Speaker 1: like like a blow up blow up thing with the
Speaker 1: air arms, the nope, alienstor yeah, I mean what so.
Speaker 1: One guy who sells paranormal kits for hundreds of dollars
Speaker 1: admits the quote exact nature of the connection between e
Speaker 1: m F s and ghosts is a mystery. So you
Speaker 1: know what, I love shout out to the ghost hunters man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't. I love I love what you'll do. I
Speaker 1: love how much money I'll spend on something like this. Truly,
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone be so committed, especially when like
Speaker 1: it's not a mystery, Like how are you going to
Speaker 1: use scientific devices to try and prove something yet be
Speaker 1: completely ignorant about the like the myriad of ways you
Speaker 1: can get electromagnetic radiation to show up on an e
Speaker 1: m F thing. It's but it isn't true. We're passing.
Speaker 1: Like the one of the big kind of myths of
Speaker 1: our time is just this like technocratic myth that you
Speaker 1: can solve anything with technology and like something like an
Speaker 1: apping your phone essentially. So I feel like in twenty
Speaker 1: years that's the thing we'll look back on him, like
Speaker 1: parodies and satires of this time period will make fun
Speaker 1: of us for that, but that this proves that's still
Speaker 1: alive and well that we're like, you know, you want
Speaker 1: proof of the afterlife. Yeah, there's there's an app for that, Joe. Right.
Speaker 1: At least we know why Stalin's ghosts returned. Yeah, did
Speaker 1: Mike have this app and he does, he does, and
Speaker 1: he just got a coupon for a whopper as well.
Speaker 1: You know, he thought that was like such a great,
Speaker 1: like poetic piece of poetry. He even referencing something about
Speaker 1: so and so has returned. Or It's like I gotta
Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt here. I mean, Mike,
Speaker 1: that guy, fucking asshole, Like I don't even understand whatever
Speaker 1: I get it. I used to write, you know, wraps
Speaker 1: back in the day that we're very heavy handed. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm always saying ship like that. Lincoln's ghost has returned,
Speaker 1: publicans ghost has returned, John Bennet's ghost has returned. But
Speaker 1: ghost has returned, folks, John Benett and Tupox ghosts have
Speaker 1: returned together and they're collabing. Yeah this track. Yeah, leagued people.
Speaker 1: They're making a sick cameo on this Ghost Adventures episode.
Speaker 1: Check out their IMDb. But anyways, it's this is all
Speaker 1: just to say congratulations Burger King on a Halloween deal
Speaker 1: that won't alter her fecal matter. That's I mean, it
Speaker 1: will forward, it will you know, I mean it will alter.
Speaker 1: Let's be real this in the way that any burger
Speaker 1: king will alter your fugal matter. Right, But all right,
Speaker 1: let's move from ghosts to aliens. This is so yeah,
Speaker 1: soque to the current horns. The story is like all
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about since I since I read it.
Speaker 1: But apparently so scientists during the Cold War decided to
Speaker 1: create a new mineral that would be a super conductor
Speaker 1: that they could use to, you know, make the computers
Speaker 1: on missiles better, presumably, and they created two fully man
Speaker 1: made minerals just like noodling in the lab, called head
Speaker 1: eye and Brendson eate. I think because they wanted en
Speaker 1: sure I wouldn't know how to pronounce it ever, due
Speaker 1: chemical twitter is gonna come for you. H e I
Speaker 1: d E I T E. We don't need to you mean,
Speaker 1: he's voice when you're when you're throats feeling itchy heid
Speaker 1: e T Yeah. So, anyways, they invented this, we're very
Speaker 1: proud of themselves. And then a few years later people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, but these meteorites that have been arriving
Speaker 1: for a hundred years also have that mineral on it
Speaker 1: between So between fifty seven and sixty eight they invented them,
Speaker 1: and then they started finding them in meteorites, which you know,
Speaker 1: when analyzing meteorites, meteorites, they found them. So obviously that's
Speaker 1: more of a you know, you learn a new word
Speaker 1: and suddenly you're seeing it everywhere phenomenon, or like you
Speaker 1: are thinking about buying a red car and suddenly you
Speaker 1: see red cars everywhere. I think is the way, like
Speaker 1: one of the mental ways people illustrate that mental pattern
Speaker 1: of just you know, once you know about something, you're
Speaker 1: going to actually recognize it. But a new scientific paper
Speaker 1: is saying that actually the creation of these minerals is
Speaker 1: so specific and unlikely that their existence and meteors suggests
Speaker 1: that they actually came from extraterrestrial technology. So how wait,
Speaker 1: but how is I see I don't know the first
Speaker 1: thing about this kind of synthesiology. Yeah, so it was
Speaker 1: done by like layering, like doing multiple layers of existing
Speaker 1: like head is made by combining high D t T
Speaker 1: is made by combining chromium, iron, sulfur, and titanium, and
Speaker 1: then head. Uh, the other I think is made by
Speaker 1: like layering multiple carefully layering chromium and sulfur. So it
Speaker 1: could be just that they're they lack imagination and are like,
Speaker 1: no way this stuff could be made by anyone except
Speaker 1: us geniuses. It's like, no, that's it exists. It's just
Speaker 1: out in space. Well is it that we even think
Speaker 1: that it has to be extraterrestrial because we can't even
Speaker 1: wrap our heads around that it could have absolutely naturally
Speaker 1: formed like that, right, So that's what they're that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to like come to terms with their like
Speaker 1: circling back and being like, it's so unlikely that this
Speaker 1: would have come together given what we know about like
Speaker 1: how to roles are created, Like there's just no feasible
Speaker 1: explanation for how this came together, and like, I don't
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't seem like it's a very popular thesis necessarily,
Speaker 1: but it does raise a bunch of interesting ideas around
Speaker 1: that I think it are are missing from our understanding
Speaker 1: of what contact with extraterrestrial intelligence is going to be. Like, Namely,
Speaker 1: the big one is that it's more likely that we
Speaker 1: are going to encounter something like this that is evidence
Speaker 1: of extraterrestrial life that was around, you know, millions and
Speaker 1: millions of years ago, because like, when you look at
Speaker 1: how long we've been in existence, it's like such a
Speaker 1: tiny blitz time we're we're extremely new kids on the block,
Speaker 1: and like we don't know how how common it is
Speaker 1: for intelligent life to survive, you know, for millennia and
Speaker 1: millennia and you know, for millions of years. So like
Speaker 1: it's it seems very possible that the evidence we get
Speaker 1: might be a piece of crumpled up metal from a
Speaker 1: spaceship that exploded, like you know millions. We might not
Speaker 1: even perceive that as a crumpled up piece of metal
Speaker 1: from a spaceship. It'll be like this interesting substance that
Speaker 1: we found, and then it's just where Then we can
Speaker 1: begin to be like, well, where the fund did it
Speaker 1: come from? Right? I bet the scientists a thousand years
Speaker 1: from now who sent those medals back in time to
Speaker 1: prove that time travel real are show hissed. Right, there's
Speaker 1: just like come on, we like Mr Policeman, we gave
Speaker 1: you all the clues, which they will use that quote
Speaker 1: because that movie will last the test of time. They
Speaker 1: imprint that on a gold disc shooting into space and
Speaker 1: then it will come back disc. It's just a DVD
Speaker 1: of that movie they just sent out, like and that
Speaker 1: is our whole civilizations intelligence on one flat disc. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Like every day it's like scientists are having
Speaker 1: more claims that are just sort of leading with the
Speaker 1: possibility of extraterrestrial life. Like there's one about like Mars,
Speaker 1: or they're like the Martians may have made themselves extinct
Speaker 1: with like climate change. And it's also like wait what,
Speaker 1: and then you're kind of like reading into like why
Speaker 1: it's the shift of more like of this possibility is
Speaker 1: really interesting because the other day there was also like
Speaker 1: a mathematician who I couldn't even begin to explain, but
Speaker 1: like using like mathematical proofs trying to conceptualize how it's
Speaker 1: more likely than not that we are not the only living,
Speaker 1: intelligent beings in the universe based on like the concept
Speaker 1: of like a biogenesis or whatever. So I'm just like
Speaker 1: I hate that trick math that like, oh, what's your birthday?
Speaker 1: Minus that by how you are using a little fortunate
Speaker 1: holding up in paper. Okay, what's your what's your birthday?
Speaker 1: My birthdays may okay, one, two, three, four, five, Okay,
Speaker 1: Now pick how many rooms do you want in your home? Seven, one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four or five six seven? Okay? Aliens, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they have some of that math, some of that trick
Speaker 1: math and uh. In this article, they took quote, there
Speaker 1: are one billion stars in our galaxy alone, and they're
Speaker 1: potentially trillions of galaxies in addition to ours. Multiply the
Speaker 1: two and you get a total population of stars somewhere
Speaker 1: in the vicinity of one, followed by like, you know,
Speaker 1: dozens of zeros. So if other galaxies are like our own,
Speaker 1: most of those stars have at least one plan at
Speaker 1: the size of Earth, and so so it just makes
Speaker 1: sense that it's kind of weird that our science is
Speaker 1: so skeptical and doesn't like put this on the radar
Speaker 1: as like one of the possibilities when we're looking at
Speaker 1: things flying into our Solar system from outside of the
Speaker 1: Solar system. You know, we've all seen the Jodie Foster
Speaker 1: masterpiece Contact and they say, like, if there is no
Speaker 1: intelligent life out there, it's an awful waste of space.
Speaker 1: We've all had that tattooed on our bodies. We all
Speaker 1: like we're famous famous theologian, like Time magazine cover theologian
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey is is the person who's saying that I
Speaker 1: love the invention of that as a as a possibility
Speaker 1: in America, A theologian who is like so hot and
Speaker 1: cool that they become like the kind of fun with
Speaker 1: aliens to like Joel Austin, what a hunk we were.
Speaker 1: We were also we were like, you know, we what
Speaker 1: we know about the Kyptians and the types of simple
Speaker 1: machines they had at their disposal, There is no possible
Speaker 1: way they would have moved these rocks to form the pyramids.
Speaker 1: Like then people figure out, oh no, they put it
Speaker 1: on logs and like rolling right like the Eastern Island
Speaker 1: things like, yeah, they kind of walked them. They just
Speaker 1: rocked them back and forth and they were able to
Speaker 1: kind of just like get them to move across the
Speaker 1: island refrigerator by yourself. Yeah, you just you just gotta rocket.
Speaker 1: That would be funny, like them going back and in
Speaker 1: time and being like so how did you do it?
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, you just kind of rock a
Speaker 1: little bit, rocket a little bit. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't Yeah. I was like, hey, dude, I'll get you
Speaker 1: breakfast from McDonald's man if you come early, dude. But
Speaker 1: but the idea that we will make first contact with
Speaker 1: you know, pollution, pollution from alien farms or factories or
Speaker 1: like just a uninhabited, like you know, structure that just
Speaker 1: like kind of drunk drives into our atmosphere or is
Speaker 1: just like nope, he's driving it anymore. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this interest is coming around
Speaker 1: a moamoa coming into our solar system. A Mama, it's
Speaker 1: like that giant I don't know. People call it like
Speaker 1: a space cruiser size, but you know it's just a
Speaker 1: giant rock that is very oblong and not not the
Speaker 1: shape that something again similar to this, Like they're like,
Speaker 1: that's not the shape something would naturally take, like on
Speaker 1: its own. It's too like long and thin. It's that
Speaker 1: people have described as like cylindrical and cigar shaped, and
Speaker 1: then it like sped into our atmosphere going faster than
Speaker 1: anything should be going, and then like made a right
Speaker 1: turn and left our atmosphere going just as quickly, so
Speaker 1: that that again feels like it could be it might
Speaker 1: have opened different that there's a Harvard scientist who is
Speaker 1: like now really interested in this stuff and is constantly
Speaker 1: getting quoted about like, yeah, we need to that needs
Speaker 1: to be one of the primary explanations that we're willing
Speaker 1: to entertain. So like that's not people aren't going to
Speaker 1: be like, that's definitively what this is necessarily, but they
Speaker 1: are saying like this, it feels unscientific. Two, just rule
Speaker 1: that out at the helm. I like that a lot more,
Speaker 1: saying that like alien stuff would just accidentally show up.
Speaker 1: And because the assumption that, oh, there must be some
Speaker 1: aliens flying around breaking God, we need to find a
Speaker 1: planet of people who kill each other and once a
Speaker 1: year ship green Right. Okay, guys, so they're are aliens
Speaker 1: and they are obsessed with our green ship. Like that
Speaker 1: seems to be the automatic assumption once you mentioned the
Speaker 1: idea of aliens, like, oh my god, you guys are
Speaker 1: so into it, so thirsty. Everybody who says they were
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe in a past life, yeah exactly. I was
Speaker 1: either Cleopatra, I was Marilyn Monroe one of the two.
Speaker 1: I was Joan of Arc. Yeah. Those are the that's
Speaker 1: who everybody gets to be. And I think that was
Speaker 1: from coming to America. When that woman puts a lighter
Speaker 1: over her hand, I was Joanac in the past life,
Speaker 1: just like waves her hand over an open flame. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: sure we all were. Yeah, all right, keep it anyways,
Speaker 1: So I I don't know this is this is something
Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on extraterrestrial life, evidence of extraterrestrial
Speaker 1: life that might be boring when it shows up, but
Speaker 1: the implications could be profound. Dude, with Blink one eighty
Speaker 1: two getting back Together, I know, I bet that tour
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be some kind of like we might
Speaker 1: see some ship. What if Tom DeLong is like, yo,
Speaker 1: you guys want to see something fucking wild. It's not
Speaker 1: even a Blink one eighty two concert. He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I had to use Blink one eighty two getting
Speaker 1: by together and spread the fu truth. Okay, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1: of NBC News. But first is a screenshot of like
Speaker 1: the New York Times pitch spot Twitter account and a
Speaker 1: headline they wrote a few days ago, which was again,
Speaker 1: this is a parody, like an account that parodies like
Speaker 1: how both sides and awful, like The New York Times
Speaker 1: can be. It says whether it's herschel Walker trying to
Speaker 1: explain why he has so many secret children or Jon
Speaker 1: Fetterman trying to recover from a stroke politicians on both

Speaker 1: a TikTok of just the most unhinged I'll just link
Speaker 1: off to it in the footnotes, the most unhinged, like

Speaker 1: is that No, I hear that it sounds like a

Speaker 1: is a DJ I believe from Austin. The track is
Speaker 1: called Girl, and this like kind of it's like house music,
Speaker 1: but it's like a bunch of samples used to create it,
Speaker 1: so it's not like your traditional thing. It feels very
Speaker 1: like nostalgic and kind of out there, but it's is
Speaker 1: also kind of a fun thing to listen to as
