[music] Welcome to the worst week yet, the least informed podcast on the left, it's a podcast where every week we break down the most important stories in a way that is so easy to digest. It's basically poop already. I'm your host, Andrew Hillary, and I'm joined by my two very disappointed friends, Deanna Kennedy. Do we break down the stories or do the stories break us down? It's a mutual. It's mutual digestion. Yeah, mutually assured digestion. That's like when you eat dairy, like are you eating the dairy or is the dairy eating you? I don't know. I fucking, I don't know what's going on. It's a podcast. I got a different intro for, this is my personal intro. It's a podcast where every week in 2024, I'm taking strays for having the name that I have. Wait, what did I dump in a park in New York City? What am I having in a fairway? What part of a whale did I strap to my roof? Kennedy's at it again. Chapaquiddick. Okay. It's just a fun word to say. Did I say it right? I don't know. What were you trying to say? Chapaquiddick. What do you mean? Isn't that where Teddy Kennedy killed a lady? Oh, I don't know. Is it? Kennedy? Kennedy. Speak for the Kennedy's. He was, he was Chapaquidded, okay. I did forget to say allegedly my bad, my bad, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, it's great to have a spokesperson for the Kennedys here on the show, you know, so really get things right? Yes. And we are grateful to hear from, from a, you know, living legend. By the way, I'm doing well. I almost had the worst night ever last night though. I'll tell you, I'll tell you why I worked. I worked a long day in the ice cream truck and you know what, business was not great. It wasn't terrible, but it was not great. A lot of my regulars just did not show up. So, you know, I was already like a little bummed like, oh, I worked so hard and didn't make the kind of money. And blah, blah, blah, blah, uh, we all know the Lincoln Park song. Uh, we're so hard and just to make this kind of, um, and in the end, I didn't make much money. There it is. Are we, are we covering Lincoln Park this week or ever? Uh, no, like as a sauna or in the news, this podcast has a Lincoln Park embargo. Sorry. The, the reunion, the controversies, oh, you know, I did see something about that. And in fact, we can cover that, but let me finish my story first. So I worked this long ass day and I'm like, all like, uh, so just like out of it. I get home. It's like fucking 11 o'clock or like maybe 10 o'clock. I'm like, just tired and I opened my door and fucking brisket runs out the door, shoots out the door like she was out of a fucking catapult. And here's the thing. I've only had brisket for like three weeks. We found her at a gas station. This cat is like, first of all, nowhere, she's miles from wherever her like previous territory was. She's only been inside this apartment. She, she is not chipped yet because they, I'm doing that on her follow up that appointment. She shoots out the door in like my life flash before my eyes, like we worked so fucking hard to catch this cat. Like we were, we were like almost on the verge of tears thinking that we were going to have to abandon and like because we were trying for like an hour and a half to like get this cat out of the bushes and like we were almost at our like breaking point of like we just have to give up and like let this cat like fend for itself on the side of this highway. We finally got this fucking cat and I get home from a rough day of work and it just shoots out the door and it just all hit me like a ton of bricks. Like there's no way she's a tiny little black kitty. It's dark out. There's no way I'm fucking finding this cat if she goes out and she goes out the, she shoots out the door. She's like four feet out and it just like stops and starts looking around like whoa, dude. I'm outside. Yeah. So I just grabbed her and threw back and I'm like what the fuck that's that happens with my dog sometimes and like in the split second of her getting out the door, I'm like panicking like I'm like my beloved is has betrayed me and run off and then like I turn around and she's just like sitting in the yard like it's weird out here. Are you cool with me being out here? - Forgive me. For the listeners who don't know Emma is a French Bulldog, English Bulldog. - French. - French Bulldog. - For all say. - Can you not outrun a French Bulldog, Deanna? - Nobody. No, no, no, no, no. - There's no way she's fast. - She's a little fucking ham with legs. - She can't run for a long time but she is fast and if I'm chasing her she thinks it's a game so like then she keeps running like a game that we like she can't play fetch because like I'm lazy and she's lazy but like one game that like we can play is I'll throw her ball and she'll go get it and like then I chase her around in the yard as she runs from me with the ball so then like if she gets out of the house and I run but every time she's ever gotten out actually like she has only run until she's encountered some other person and then flopped on her back and been like are you gonna pet my tummy and so so yeah no I can't I can't outrun her I only have two thirds of a long on the left side and I'm early I have a statistical long we get it and although like I've got these fat ass thighs I'm not running nowhere fast what do you mean for the listeners at home Kennedy is holding a very tiny little baby cat up next to their head mm-hmm now that thing's pretty cute that's a cute ass kitty um yeah so this has been uh more cat updates we've been starting a lot of shows with cat updates and you know what it's probably the best best thing we've been doing with this show recently well a lot of what we have to talk about is like really upsetting and sad so if we start with cat updates that's at least something we like yeah but we have agreed we're gonna squeeze in Lincoln Park and that'll be a fun 10 minutes okay okay um well hey I'll tell you what before we get to the park that's what I call them uh why don't we just go ahead and let our or those of you listening know that we have a patreon that's right patreon.com slash worst we get we are deep into chamalan timber which is how we are actually almost all the way through september and have only done one episode about it but we're talking about m9 chamalan i feel like who could have could just called it chamtember and but you know what whatever do whatever you want we are doing whatever we want in fact you did not have to give us uh permission to choose a clunkier name but i appreciate you much like m9 chamalan who now sell finances all of his boobies and does whatever he wants which is obvious when you watch them yeah you you can really tell any more chamalan's like a less expensive less rapey frances for copola basically like all the crazy like remove like the the sex allegations and stuff uh uh uh an m9 chamalan but like keep all the crazy stories about like frances for copola is like was like super weird about peculiar shit during megalopolis all the time yeah because it's just like his baby project that he funded it's like just saying chamalan making every movie now basically i haven't looked into any of the stories about him producing megalopolis and i'm not saying that i don't believe you but what i am saying is that like i want to see that movie so bad it's gonna suck are you kidding me well

violence you just think i was locked in there i was locked the fucking okay nobody you got you got tunnel vision i'm sweating again uh people listening this podcast were like oh my god wait did i just get flushed backwards and end up in australia this is crazy might it can happen to you lose one of the one of your more neutral accents okay you know what i'll take that because a lot of them are below average yeah i've got neutral about that i wanted to disparage you for fun but i didn't have anything specifically bad to say that's there that's my review okay well sure as i said the news ever heard of it uh dana have you been on you have you've been like not very social media this week uh did you know that there was another Trump assassination attempt yeah because i don't i don't get my news from social media i get to go to other places and get news so even though i haven't been uh very social media active i i have uh received news of the outside world they are trying to kill our boy they're trying to get them they're trying to get them let's fucking go i mean wait um let's that's not that's not what i meant to say i just want to be clear i had a i was thinking about something else just now and so crazy so like i forgot i was on a podcast for a moment it's what you know i was just first i just got a really exciting email that's yeah yeah yeah no no totally and i sent you that email it's about donald trump almost getting assassinated um it was uh so like this is so crazy like this guy if like everything they've learned okay so the two trump the two trump assassin would be assassins so far have both been at at least one point in their lives strong trump supporters which is awesome like like talk about fucking buyer's remorse like this guy his reason for being so anti-trump was the war in new crane like this is this guy's crazy i don't know how much either of youans have heard about him but like this guy was like a kind of like a centrist where like he would go back and forth like being against trump and then for trump uh his dream 2020 or 2020 for ticket was vavek rama swami with uh nicky haley i believe as v vp awesome fucking awesome so i think i saw yeah um so like this guy i don't he has like three different felonies for like carrying an illegal firearm uh and he once was in a multi-hour standoff with the police after he was gonna get pulled over and knew he was gonna get another you get in trouble for having an uh uh an illegal firearm so he just like went and locked himself in this construction business for like multiple hours but then just like came out peacefully and like waste their time 2024 so they like spotted him okay he he went to trump's golf course 12 hours early and he just sat in the bushes for 12 hours and after all that time waiting there the secret service just saw a gun barrel poking out from the fence so like my man was in the same spot weight lying and weight for half a day and just like fucking loony tunes just like oh the gun barrel's poking out i mean it's like okay so this is one of the funny ish but also horrifying in many ways of course uh aspects of these like would be paramilitary types just like fucking roman the country like i would say at this point in in our lives there's probably more of these like military cosplaying type of dudes than there have ever been um but the thing about cosplaying a military guy is that you don't know shit about shit and so like both of these guys that have tried to assassinate trump it's like if either of them had had any kind of real training or significant experience might have succeeded but instead they're just like yeah i've got my go bag and i'm ready i got a knife and stuff but 700 rounds of ammunition and a couple cans of spam and i also brought uh some twine so i'm set i think yeah like if this guy had just stayed in the bushes without his gun poking out they might not have seen him and then like five ten minutes later he would have had the shot but also like with that much prep like it's very basic sniper 101 to do something to disguise your gun barrel in this situation like that's like extremely extremely basic if this guy like i said you know had any actual combat training yeah throw a little fucking garland on there you know it's almost christmas need combat training to know that like to me that just feels like like i have no combat training i just would have thought of that but i maybe maybe you know he was laying there for 12 i could see like you've been there for 12 hours like the first couple hours you're like at the ready and then like you know as time goes by you're just like lazing on the job you know i think he got he was out there maybe too long he got too sloppy yeah he's right texting he did have his phone you know yeah he's right texting some some some woman that he met like hey guess what i'm up to you right now you'll never guess she's just not replying and he's like uh what are you up to later tonight not no replies you know if that was him for hours so the secret service shot at him and then he like scurried away and he got in his car and like some bystander happened to catch like a picture of his license plate but like if that person hadn't been there this guy would have completely gotten away with it like they did there was like no camera footage of him or his car or anything like well that's one of the intriguing things about the surveillance state right is that the rich don't really wanted applied to them exactly yeah yep yep so the cops pulled him over and he surrendered without instance like again like this guy is like just has short bursts of crazy and then comes back down to earth it's such an interesting guy uh so i uh in response to this second assassination attempt uh friend of the show Elon Musk uh he had a hot take where he he took to twitter and tweeted uh oh how's come nobody ever tries to assassinate Kamala Harris very normal thing to say very insane thing to say i would say i would i'm going to disagree with the two of you and i appreciate both of you as people and i respect your viewpoints i'm going to disagree i'm going to say not normal i'm going to say psychotic thing to say sorry for for disagreeing but uh yeah yeah he he then like a day later or like the next day or whatever like when it tweeted like oh he deleted that tweet and was like oh apparently like you know i'm learning that saying something that makes people laugh in like with your friends doesn't always just apply to jokes on twitter because like you guys don't get the context which like one of the most prescient things he's ever said but also dude you're like almost 60 or something right like you're like you're like also here's the thing is that we all do understand the context like this is that's not the issue the issue is that like you're a very powerful person you're joking about the president getting assassinated that's a problem it's not that we like i wonder like in what framework he was saying yeah what was the context because i assure you if we knew it would actually only make it worse yeah well the context was is that it would be funny if they did yeah i don't he's the stupidest person this ever lived uh speaking of which uh speaking of friend of the show elon musk this week he was supposed to be testifying uh because he was supposed to appear on this show yeah yeah he you know he flaked again go figure uh much like how he flaked on testifying yeah he was supposed to testify to the seese the security and exchange commission because they're like we think the way that you acquired twitter was a crime some one way or another and like i don't know we're just looking into it so like you know part of that is you got to testify and they scheduled this like weeks out and then the day of he was like oh actually three hours before and this is like the sec had sent three lawyers out to los angeles to do the deposition or whatever you know spending i mean small potatoes compared to like any other thing in the story but like you know spend a couple grand like flying three people out getting a motel rooms getting all this stuff three hours before he was supposed to do this testimony he was like oh i had to like fly to florida to watch the spaceship launch and like that is again a crime like the only like it's not a crime if like an emergency happens or whatever but this was like you don't just happen to launch a space spacecraft that should just planned out in advance like so they're like maybe we should sanction elon musk i don't know how this works but uh you know i've been saying for a while like eventually something is going to take this man down he cannot just keep getting away with being like just not just a con man but like one of the stupidest people that has ever lived you can't be that stupid and keep doing crime it's gonna catch up to you eventually and god damn i hope sooner rather than later you know i don't know yeah he does he does deserve to be caught up with it is all also so cartoon fucking villain of him like ha ha you thought you would meet me at this place at this time but i have outsmarted you once again and i'm in in an entirely different location surprise like it's it's ongoing and it's foolish actually yeah um so let's move on to i do just want to briefly talk about uh the ongoing genocide and seemingly endless war crimes of israel uh this is so this week they did some kind of fucking coordinated like they blew up a bunch of pagers of people that were like suspected has below members in lebanon and like here's the thing is that they're not like admitting that they did this but like it so clearly was them you know the these pagers were bought because has below like in i think in like february they were like we need to like stop using smartphones because like those are easy to track so like somehow israel like infiltrated the supply chain and was able to find like one of the only companies where you can still buy like a bunch of pagers and like it's it's unclear exactly how this happened but they got explosives in them and then just they waited for a good day and by that i mean seemingly a random one and then just blew up all the pagers uh there were two children killed by these things exploding you know they were going off it was indiscriminate they were going off in like hospitals and grocery stores and like here's the thing is that like even if even if every one of these pagers was being carried by a has below member the people around them like you're not part of has below because you're in the same grocery store as a has below member yeah this is terrorism this literally terrorism very sophisticated terrorism at that which is terrifying uh and um yeah i mean not that it would make it okay per se but like israel has the capability to to have like assassinated each of these people without in any way harming or affecting civilians like israel has like extremely advanced military technology and it wouldn't make it okay for them to do so but it's just like it's just horrifying for anyone to pretend that like in some way like this wasn't just pure cruelty when like they have like the most advanced surveillance system ever created yeah i forget i forget who this guy is but this guy named barak ravide i think he's like either part of the israeli government or like some kind of counterpart or some i don't know but he was talking about this and like he was describing because after the pager attack they started bombing lebanon and like Hezbollah's fighting firing back like there's no like this isn't one sided but like it is so clear that israel was like they want more war so that they can be like oh look at these muslims attacking us they don't want us to let like uh well also very specifically benjamin netinyahu is very likely to lose power and maybe go to prison go to jail or something like pretty much the second this war ends yeah um and so the longer the war goes on the more time he has to stall and try to find ways to hang on other ways to hang on to power so this barak ravide guy he was just barak ravide was describing this strategy as de-escalation through escalation like they are trying to tell us that like oh yeah the way that we get has blood is the the way that we get the war to stop is by increasing our attacks and killing more people it's crazy like it's a here's thing it's not crazy that they're lying about this stuff it's crazy that they think anybody could be like oh yeah that makes sense de-escalation through escalation totally like what that's always how that works you know yeah it's it's wild um i always de-escalate situations by just slapping the shit out of somebody oh yeah that's that's sure far way to calm things down i mean it is a 50-50 shot if you slap the shit out of somebody they could be like whoa i didn't think it was gonna go there i'm out i'm out or they're gonna slap the shit out of you back and it's all gonna continue so you know i guess gamble yeah and you know it feels good to gamble um on something they could spin out into a nuclear conflict uh yeah they also Israel also bombed like leveled an apartment building in like just uh the suburbs in Beirut like they they're just killing people indiscriminately and again like the entire US government's like well you know we're waiting to hear from Israel and see what they say about whether or not they did a bad thing like they'll tell us well know when they're doing war crimes because they'll tell us that they'll just admit it right yeah it'll be simple because they'll just be like oh this time we definitely did do a war crime totally totally totally um yeah Israel also uh the IDF went in and raided and shut down Al Jazeera's office offices in the west bank because they are i guess preparing to annex the west bank should Donald Trump win the election uh because Trump said that they could and you know what here's the thing though you know people will say like oh Donald Trump will let them do it common hairs would also let them annex the west bank as long as they called it something else like yeah they were like we're on a peacekeeping mission in the west bank but like if your means of keeping peace is actually like shutting down the media doing acts of terror killing people and kicking them out of their home so that you could take them for your own citizens so that you can dilute the indigenous population with your own population in order to make make it so that there's less a case for them to have any democratic say in the rules of the land that you live in i mean it could be anything yeah it could be anything yeah it feels like they're sliding further and further from even the illusion of democracy um as thin as that was in the first place so you know that'll be exciting to see how that goes moving forward yeah it's uh i don't know i don't feel good about it i'm gonna say i feel bad about it but who might it say oh i am the one of the hosts of the show that's who i am to say anyways uh let's move on you know this is enough of you know international horrifying news let's talk about some let's talk about some good old home fried american horrifying news uh hey there was another mass shooting this week terrestrial terror terrestrial terror uh this time though this is very interesting the uh the shooter he shot four people um and one of them was a cop and in fact actually two of them were cop including the shooter an NYPD officer did a mass shooting in response to somebody doing a fair of a shit like somebody jumped over the fucking dern styles which led to four people being shot including the suspect now they have released video this guy was being a fucking dick he he had a knife the cops came up and they're like hey dude like you jumped the thing and he's like get away from me fuck you shoot me so like you know not necessarily doing himself any favors but i would argue if you are a police officer and some guy is like saying fuck you shoot me you probably shouldn't like even if he's saying to do it you still shouldn't do it uh and yeah like what do you take a relation through escalation andrew yeah yeah so they tried to tase him the tasers didn't do anything and then one of the cops pulled out his gun and just starts fucking loading up loading this guy up he fired so many fucking shots he hit another person who was on a different train he hit he hit a man in the head who is now brain dead he might have this guy he basically killed this other guy uh he he shot another woman in the leg i believe and he shot another cop another cop got shot there's video the cops being like wait i'm hit i'm hit just yeah and then i saw a news news headline that was like n y p d bullet like as if the bullet was disembodied like or i mean the bullet is disembodied but like as if the bully the bullet acted on its of its own volition the bullet itself did it it was an n y p d bullet but it wasn't shot by uh it wasn't shot by an n y p d cop the bullet shot itself at these people i was trying to figure out after i heard that a cop got shot by a cop i was trying to figure out like the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a bad guy with a gun but then i was like you know what no fuck i hate this all um yeah so mayor eric atoms his initial press conference said that a police officer had been shot but didn't mention the fact that it was by another cop that's insane like yeah like tragedies strikes the n y p d uh an officer was shot yeah by another the tragedy is that the n y p d is what it is actually i thought you were just going to say that the n y p d exists which i would have yeah agreed with yeah that was basically what i was at what i was on about for sure tragedy strikes as the n y p d continues to get funding again yeah so again like if you haven't seen the video of this yet like again like the guy was and i'm not he did not deserve to be shot anyway means a form but like this guy like you know people sometimes kind of infantilize whenever something like this happens that like oh like you know don't listen and it's like yeah this guy was being a fucking dick uh but that is not you don't get killed for being a dick you don't get killed for having a knife like he wasn't trying to actively stab anybody he just had a knife like that is not you don't get the death penalty for that like don't don't let the the reactionary like way that people talk about the shit take you off of like the point that there was like since eric adams put all these extra police on the subways it has spent like a hundred and fifty million dollars in overtime money that's insane money they have recouped a hundred and four thousand dollars in fines like and they've now done a mass shooting like over over a fucking two dollars and 90 cents subway fair right like i'm not gonna lie and say that i like when i lived in new york that car just doesn't fucking swipe sometimes and you got somewhere to be in the trains on the thing and you got to jump that turn style like it is it is like it it's just it's just astounding yeah it's astounding that that was the that this was the price that they thought needed to be paid over this fucking fair it's just police are like incapable of like just fucking i don't know they just can't see the world for what it is they're they are just on this fucking mission they every single cop just thinks that he's rambo or whatever like it's just it's fucking sickening i hate it let's you know what i have another story about somebody taking a train without a ticket that i think it's gonna be a little bit more fun so let's just let's just go to that all right let's try it this week a train in the united kingdom had to be shut down after the conductor or the staff or whoever found some people on board and could not get one of them off and they did not have a ticket and that person was a squirrel whoa they shut down an entire train because they couldn't get a squirrel to get off the train i mean what kind of sicko was this conductor that he was trying to get a squirrel off like that's oh that's a good that i was gonna say it's a good question i feel like that's an inaccurate statement you know i was i would have to sign the other day i said professional dog grooming uh this is perverts it's perverts all the way down honestly yeah ever yeah no for sure um but yeah i like the idea that they were they nobody was like i guess we can just keep the train moving with this squirrel on it like who cares or like man just let the squirrel ride to it stop it'll get off when it's time yeah squirrel knows where it's going look now everybody's laid for work but also the squirrels laid for squirrel job squirrel work yeah really it's all it's pretty nuts it's okay diana i see what you did there i'm so fired from this podcast you know uh i thought you were gonna say you're so fired up you know not i'm very mild today actually on the diana rating scale of mild wild and insane i'm very mild today yeah yeah which is honestly maybe like the rarest of the of the scale positions yeah yeah usually i'm operating at a wild most frequently you're either coming in here crying laughing or yelling and often all three at the same time but you know what today you're like i'm here i'm ready to do a podcast i'm ready to you know just do the work do the work lean in lock it uh hey this is an update to one of our favorite stories you know we are not yet giving up hope on the crew of the titan submersible that this week this week the last podcast still remaining hope god damn it the crew will be found alive alive when you said we weren't giving a pope on the crew i really thought you were gonna say uh like talk about those astronauts that are stuck in fucking space oh no there's no hope for that um yeah so this week uh the coast guard i believe i don't know some maybe the navy some united states uh a fit like government boat people that's the official title they found um wreckage from the titan submersible which is like it's very interesting because like the inner capsule where all the people were super imploded like smithereens nothing left but like the rest of it doesn't mean they're dead it does not mean they're dead in fact it's actually easier to breathe underwater when you've been pulverized a lot of people don't know that i'm a scientist the uh the tail part of the sub ruling out all right there were several billionaires on this submarine all right billionaires are the smartest people on most capable and most capable and most capable yep so you really think you really think they couldn't figure out some way to you know realize the submarine was about to implode sneak out safely build another submarine and they're just that's that new submarine they're going to surface any day now i was envisioning that one of them just got all the straws that were on board which in this scenario were very many and i'm not sure why. And they were all plastic billionaires fucking billionaires are they hoard plastic straws yeah but attached all the straws end to end until they were long enough to reach the surface and they're down there sucking air from the surface through this long chain of straws just waiting to be rescued i believe it i believe it before yeah that's what i think i think they did it very fast very smartly and got really got it done they're down there they're waiting so what else what else is what were you gonna say is down there besides the crushed up billionaires the united states government boat people just found like the tail of the of the titan submersible it was just chilling next to the time it is just chilling next to the titanic just like hanging out down there you know even us government boat people deserve to get some tail every once in a while let's fucking go dude fucking we're all everybody is perverts this week that might have been one of the most pro military things i've ever said actually a rare pro military take is that US government boat people deserve to get a little tail every once in a while i'm not mad about it i'm not mad about it also i don't know if this was something that they knew or like had just found in like the black box or whatever but every every story i saw about them finding the piece of the titan submersible this week also included the detail that the last message that was sent from it said all good here okay but to be fair i i also saw detail this week that i really really need to get out which is um apparently they tracked the position of the submarine it was just revealed this week um they tracked the position of the submarine on the c4 by hand in an excel spreadsheet huh what that does not seem like the way in which that should have been done i'm no submarine expert well i don't know but i think something's fishy about that yeah i mean i have a troubling relationship with excel like i love an excel spreadsheet truly um but but i just even i can identify a time where an excel spreadsheet is probably not the way and it seems like this is that time yeah yeah i don't understand how that would work but i also don't really know anything about excel so um well i'm more of just a large guy let's move on uh oh this is exciting new moon we're getting a new moon folks that's right we've had you know we've had the current moon which is their name for the moon or is it just the moon does it have a first name uh it's mr moon to other names but well i'm sick of calling it the moon because now it is not the moon it is going to be one of the moons that's right in the coming weeks a asteroid named 2024 PT5 will get caught in earth's orbit for a couple of months and briefly function as a satellite uh before getting spun back out into space so we're just gonna have a second moon for like two months two moons two moons you know i've been seeing for years if moon is so good why not moon too well finally wait finally the marvel universe has delivered amazon studios presents everything everything's a fucking sequel these days as soon as second moon rolls into view it's just projected onto it is rings of power season two baby i'm nervous about this moon's future you know it's gonna be a mini moon it's gonna have like little sister syndrome it's probably gonna freak the fuck out yeah it's never gonna be as good as that other moon like did we even need to get a second moon i i think i think it's moon we we've seen it you know all the time you know you know a family a husband and wife they're struggling they're like you know they're at their wit's end they don't know what to do and then they try to have a second kid like that's gonna save their marriage no dude no this second moon is just gonna make it harder to split up between us and the first okay back to back to what i was saying all of like Saturn's moons all have names why does our moon not have a name are you sure you don't just not know the name of the moon no it it's there are a few other names for the moon but they're not really widely accepted and so in general it's just called the moon which is kind of yeah a little strange when you think about it yeah i everybody deserves a name yeah that is the point of the story also somebody suggested like there's a possibility that nasa knows that this fucking asteroid is actually just going to collate collide with earth and they just aren't telling us yet and here's the thing the last message nasa will send says all good here nasa's tracking the position of the comet by hand in an excel spreadsheet as feels confident that it won't hit the earth all good here quick how many billionaires are other oh oh wow this whole bitch is going to collapse yeah not feeling great not feeling great okay so i'm doing a little i'm doing some research allele it's a button canceled i don't know which but hit one of the limpest get ones maybe oh okay yeah i can do that um let's see come on get it or so come and get it oh there's so far away wow come and get it okay that's the research button so come and get the information research button yeah i'm doing come and get it i'm doing some research so come and get it um okay so there's a few there's a few other names for the moon okay as i mentioned i looked up a few all right so you may have heard luna the latin name for the moon oh i've know about luna uh celine was the greek name for the moon she's the greek goddess of the moon that's kind of cute Cynthia is the names for the moon and also the germans used to call the moon manny i don't understand it but okay manny manny manny manny not man in the moon manny the moon hey manny the moon it's a manny the moon look at this guy hey manny the moon uh it's just to say what the that's our moon's gonna say when this other moon shows up hey i'm mooning it does it say what the Italians call the moon the bibbity-bulbity moon and the sky pizza pie yeah oh okay that's a moon eh that's a moon eh i said i was fired from this podcast okay you have just been rehired double the double your rate of pay the real reason why which is yet you know what never mind let's not do it let's not do that man the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie that was discussing when the second moon destroys earth um i mean the moon probably earth's moon probably doesn't have a name because for a long time uh it like we didn't have the astronomy capability of of observing that other places had moon so this was like the moon and then they found out that other planets had moons and they were like what we got it we can't call those the moon we got a column something else i think that's why that we don't really have like a name that's not just the moon yeah um i agree let's name let's name the moon on this podcast right now okay um greg greg how many g's at the end obviously they'll get a four greg yeah like that yeah that's a gg re gg um i'm gonna say oh that's tough diana wait i got a new one headstrong by trap i don't know i'm i'm just sticking with that's a moon eh that's what i think we should just call the moon that yeah that's that's a moon eh um moon alisa speaking of the song headstrong can we talk about the band that wrote it a.k.a lincoln park one of my favorite bands that wrote that song um that the song headstrong was actually a collaborative effort by every band in 2002 um yeah what what about lincoln park kennedy i know that they have a new singer i just yeah i think this there's just we don't need to spend a bunch time on this but there's some details to this lincoln park reuniting thing that feel very worst week yet yeah there are parts there were so many ways it could have gone that would have been cool and instead instead um so lincoln park has reunited um and it does not feel so good and uh feels so so feel so so to be honest i think sometimes you just have to let it go with a band like that um or maybe just a limited series of tours with a bunch of guest vocalists could have been fun but now they introduced a new permanent vocalist they're putting out a new album lincoln park is back um and uh no one seems to want to say this out loud but it is clear that Chester Bennington's death is the best thing that ever happened to mike shanota and i think that we just all need to fucking be real about this for a minute damn this man this man is determined to drive lincoln park into the ground so some things have emerged uh uh but even when they get into the ground is mike shanota the other singer the guy the rapin guy okay i was gonna say even when lincoln park gets run into the ground the chester still got there first wow they're still just they're still just ripping him off no original ideas um though as a corpse i've recalled someone a poser before so um emily armstrong the new vocalist has some problematic ties to Scientology sorry the new vocalist is a lady yeah yes uh we'll get more into that in a minute but um uh uh uh because there's a interesting detail there that emerged this week uh but uh so emily armstrong um is a Scientologist and has deep ties to the church which has alarmed some people naturally um made them quite concerned um and uh uh including um Chester Bennington's son who has spoken out i thought you were gonna say Chester Bennington's ghost uh no Jamie Bennington Chester Bennington's son uh is one of several of Chester Bennington's family members we'll discuss another as well uh who say that they were told that they would be you know in the loop if there was ever a reunion or something and that they were not informed of this change uh uh or this plan in any way basically um and uh yeah um even more alarming than just being tied to Scientology in general which is already kind of enough was the reports that um she supported Danny Masterson during his trial wow who among us i mean besides us three uh yeah besides us three and everybody i know personally whoops the monks does yes the wrong side to be on in that in that scenario um she has disavowed him since uh uh but initially at the beginning of his trial she was supporting him so that's a little not good not great no not good not good not good nor nor great uh so yeah um so there's been some there's been some uh some weird stuff uh going on and like i said Chester Bennington's son Jamie Bennington not a fan of these decisions and apparently was not told about any of this happening um then Chester Bennington's mom i don't remember her name also came out in the news and said some interesting stuff apparently she also was supposed to be looped in if there was going to be a reunion of Lincoln Park and was not um and uh she said in fact that Mike Shinoda used to frequently threaten to replace Chester with a girl as an insult oh no yeah that's fucked up yeah that's that's like this is one of those things where at first i was like oh they're considering some women to front link in park this is cool and then the further i went in i was like you motherfuckers just doing it also like she's like she's basically a prop for the band their new song is it's over you have to listen to over a minute of Mike Shinoda's rapping before you hear her voice for the first time like this is your new vocalist that you're so proud of yeah jk this is Mike Shinoda's band now have they released any like versions of her singing on the older songs they haven't released any versions but you know they are like touring those songs with her right now oh so there's got to be video of it out there somewhere oh yeah there's plenty by now because they've played a couple of shows i've seen some of it oh well i gotta check that out um anyways let's uh thank you for the update on Lincoln Park on the park as i call him uh let's move on to i want to just briefly uh do a little check in on uh the election 2024 that's right folks did you never heard of her did you know that we about to be vote now here uh first of all uh Kamala Harris still leading Trump on the polls but like it kind of barely and like the further this it it kind of made sense for Trump and Biden to be neck and neck because Biden was you know old decrepit ghost whatever i get it um it is so damning of Kamala Harris that she is like that this election is so close it is damning of her it is damning of the democratic party in and of itself that like their strategy to be like we have to stay in the middle we have to like try and get these like suburban voters it is the fact that this election is even kind of close it's like dog it is you should they should be embarrassed that that Donald Trump is even within five points of them or ten points like it it is because and you know this is just my opinion but like it's because the democrats have just stuck with the Joe Biden line of like oh no everything's fine we just need to like keep the status quo going like we can't let anything back it's like it might work this time but like this is not going to just keep working i have been like the more i think about it is like we are either going to get a new FDR or fascism like that is the only two outcomes like within like maybe the next maybe not this election cycle i think Kamala probably could beat Trump but it's not going to work with whoever runs in 2028 and by that i mean obviously Donald Trump again like there's just you can't just keep letting fucking the 40-year failed experiment of trickle-down economics and status quo neoliberalism like this shit is not going to work forever the more people that are like you know i'm not super racist but like this doesn't seem to be working i can't afford anything anymore and then the democrats are like oh yes you can and the republicans are like it's because of the immigrants it's like i mean i didn't necessarily think it was the immigrants but the other guys are saying it's not even happening that can't hold up forever um yeah i don't know it's it's very frustrating it just feels like you know there's so okay right now it still looks pretty good for Kamala especially because democrats outperform polls and and republicans underperformed that is true for every republican republican except donald trump donald trump and his two elections has overperformed his polls it was more it was it they they caught up somewhat the last time with some of the polling in 2016 he baffled pollsters by 2020 some of them had kind of figured out how to like better uh get better polling data that um would work in the situation that we find ourselves in some hadn't i think that the polls are probably overall a lot more accurate now than they were eight years ago in regards to donald trump's performance like i don't think that donald trump is gonna massively outperform polls this time especially because the red wave keeps failing to manifest yeah like um uh so i yeah anyway i just think i don't know if we're gonna really see donald trump massively outperformed polls the way he did in 2016 ever again um but it's embarrassing because like you know it's embarrassing because the democrats could easily secure this election by doing two things and not changing anything else and no i'm not about to say gaza which is heartbreaking um but uh uh there's two very simple things that they could do that would easily mean that they would win the election without a doubt um and one is to do literally anything about inflation because the economy is shaky right now and we're just relying on the idea that there's not going to be some kind of like stock market crash in october as part of victory strategy which is like so scary actually yeah uh uh and then two um uh would be um fucking anything any kind of voter protection at all yeah that just any kind of voter protection which i've been saying for years like this is the thing to me that most makes me believe that at least some people in the democratic party uh are are not serious individuals with regards to like winning and things like that is that the most even election protection should not be a controversial issue amongst democrats yeah yeah that should be like one thing that even the most fucking moderate ass war hockey whatever fucking bullshit democrats should agree on because it gets you elected it's fucking insane yeah and like it's already and that's that's the two actual stories i have about the election this week is that this is already they're already starting i'm calling this section start the steal uh so first of all in every red state that is like you know could it's probably pretty red but like could theoretically go blue like texas or like florida or whatever they i've seen stories that they're just like removing like hundreds of thousands of people from the voter rolls and like they say like oh these are like people that are dead or like they're you know duplicates but it's like this is the republicans that are saying this they could just be lying like they could just be kicking a bunch of people off the voter rolls and we won't know until election day and then it's too fucking late and nobody's doing anything about that but like these two specific things first of all right now in nebraska they are trying to change their law the nebraska and main are the only two states that do like proportional delicate awarding so like even though there's five electoral votes in Nebraska it's split up and the democrats can theoretically get one of the electoral votes which in a close election one electoral vote could be the difference between winning or tying which is fucking insane uh but they're trying to change the law right now and like this we're like 45 days out from the election and they're trying to change the law right now like this is so clearly blatantly cheating like you can't change the the way the election works you know they while there's an election in progress like republicans tried to make an argument about this in 2020 like where there was like expanded mail-in voting and they flipped the fuck out about this but like they were changing those laws like months out and there was a global health crisis like this is just they're just changing this law because they're like well all of a sudden we don't want them to be able to get that electoral vote uh it's horrifying so there's that and then um the guardian obtained all these emails of Georgia election officials that they are like already coordinating their their messaging on how they're going to dispute the election results before the votes have started being cat like nobody's voted yet and they're already like trying to strategize if like here's how we can like you know say that these results are bad if that we don't get the result we like and here's the thing is that if this happens in a state or two and like where it would be enough to give trump the fucking you know the election the win it could very easily end up in the supreme court and like this the demo again because this election is somehow close still this could just mean that trump gets to steal it and there's nothing we can do to stop it yeah it's pretty pretty concerning uh there's also something going on in Arizona right now with uh about like a hundred thousand voters whose ability to vote was in limbo and the i don't fully remember the details but it was like dispute around citizenship status based on a clerical error after uh Arizona changed some voting laws in 2004 i think and so like the Arizona supreme court ruled that these hundred thousand people should be eligible to vote but like when i was reading that i just was thinking like and here's another angle from which the trump team can try to manipulate the results of this election and i just when he stood on that debate stage against joe biden and they asked him if he would accept the results of the election and he said that this he would accept the results of the election if it was like a fair and accurate election uh his quantifiers for what that entail are i'll accept the results if i win yeah basically and if i don't win then i'm gonna say that it was not a fair and just election or not an accurate election and uh it just really troubles me about what the fuck is gonna happen yeah um i keep shaking the magic eight ball and honestly it's not giving back good news joe biden should have thrown donald trump in fucking jail for treason after january six like i'm sorry that is the only thing that would have made sense like yeah you can call it punishing your political prisoners but he did do a treason and like now the country might fucking fall to fascism because they were like uh but if he runs again we could totally beat him again like hubris folks it'll get you it'll get us it'll get all of us we're all gonna get got i'm voting for the asteroid actually or the mini moon yeah yeah just 2024 wait what's it called 2024 pt5 come on the pod um fucking hell uh hell we live there and hey that brings us to our final story this is a what may be a new work like actual full-on recurring segment uh which is put men on a list the sex crimes were fucking wheeling and dealing this week we've holy shit there are weeks where decades of sex crimes happen i don't know what did gnome chompsky say i don't even remember who said was that sullen leon there's so many sex crimes this week how do we go from gnome chompsky when gnome chompsky was out to dinner with jeffrey Epstein famously said oh god damn it um so first of all uh p diddy finally arrested for his litany of sex crimes an unbelievable amount of sex crimes that this man has committed um this this is the details of this that are just starting to emerge are wild this is horrifying and we're gonna find out more but like he's just been like making blackmail sex p diddy was basically literally just doing music industry jeffrey Epstein for 20 years whatever yep and it really is perverts all the way down this week and we have so many more to go um yeah uh i saw that uh uh this is circulating um uh ashen kutcher well-known slime bag himself although he's never been directly connected to anything he has associated himself with some of the nastiest people in the industry frequently uh uh uh an unearthed ashen kutcher interview shows him declaring there's quote a lot i can't tell unquote about ditty parties wow not the person who hanging out with known rapist post but you know what i'm not surprised do you guys remember that like apology video that Ashen kutcher and mila kunis did about initially defending danny masterson that was embarrassing embarrassing and disgusting and disgusting and you know knowing that whole time that that ashen was doing that that he's like thinking about the fact that he also attended p diddy's fucking uh black male orgy parties like freak offs is that what they were called something about like that when they raided his home they found like ten thousand bottles of lube or something like baby baby oils just straight up that's weird that's just weird what first of all okay i know some i know some people that work in the porn industry and have freaky sex parties okay and uh uh these people get their lube and bulk they don't get like a bunch of little bottles of that like that's so weird to have a bunch of little bottles of baby oil get a and get a fucking oil drum of baby oil baby oil drum baby oil drum also sounds like the name of a band that that they also definitely for sure toward with elixir on fire in 2007 and now they're opening up for lincoln park um they're actually gonna be on the warp tour revival moving on to our next sex cream of the week um it's a four-way tie for sex cream of the week uh i guess one one of them's not really anyways so uh north carolina goober tutorial candidate mark robinson had some bomb shell stories drop about him this week first of all first of all before we get into anything else i think goober tutorial is a stupid word yeah because you're a goober oh oh tune in again now he did you walked right into that one no i did not yeah you did you said goober first i just said it second about you um i just want to say as you know we spend a lot of time ragging on the democrats because we hope that they'll do better because they're closer aligned to our values and the republicans who we will never trust uh uh uh but it's it's equally embarrassing to the embarrassment of the democrats or more that donald trump might lose the election because of this fucking guy truly um so this is very interesting mark robinson current sitting lieutenant governor of north carolina in 2018 he was just a random nobody that went to a fucking city council meeting and talked about illegal immigrants that is how he got to be the lieutenant governor running for governor he was just some guy that said some racist shit but he's a black guy that's doing like uh nationalism so people were like oh well this is our guy like and yeah nobody bothered to vet him so he's been in the public sphere now for like four years but all of this shit is like first of all from like between 2008 and 2012 second of all is like so easy to find he used his same screen name for everything including the porn forums that he was writing sick freak shit in regularly i spared this podcast's audience and honestly mostly just you diana from actually reading out some of the depraved shit this guy was writing it was just like it was just like fucking his sister's wife fan fiction his his wife doesn't even have a sister but like he was talking about how her butthole smelled pissy and like what like literally it is there's no expense spared and by expense i mean it's sick oh shit he's talking it's oh it's so gross wait but his wife so i read some of this but i i did read some of it i don't i don't think that i realized that his wife doesn't even actually have a sister is that what you just said yes so made up a sister and made up her pissy butthole yeah yeah yeah wow yeah wow so uh there was one quote that i did write down um that i did want to share quote this is mark robinson candidate for governor of north carolina quote i am a black nazi and quote and i did just want to get that on recording in case you know anybody ever wants to take that out of context and blackmail me there you go that's one that one's on me there you have there you have it um you even left nice pauses but when you say quote so it's just like just remove the parts where he says quote yeah yeah put that on twitter by itself um yeah so this is incredible uh still don't think that this is enough for him to he's sticking with that that wasn't me i didn't say that which is awesome because like again it is he has used the same screen name and the same email address for everything for 20 years it is so clearly him like you can't fake a fucking post from that is dated like that that's not how that the internet works but like you know there's enough like ai stuff it just in the zeit guys that people are like i don't know maybe maybe they did fake it great great world we live in um hey onto our next uh this is actually a throwback you know we haven't talked about this this story in quite a while but there's been some developments uh this week new court filings uh sworn testimony from i believe three or maybe even four people uh placed mat gates at a sex party with a high school student this story is it's been a while since we talked about this story which good for mat gates that he got outed for you know sex trafficking at high school girl and has just been skating for two years or three years now but like apparently maybe this is gonna finally catch up to him who knows yeah there's like text messages that are damning apparently yeah this one and some other details that are just like yeah like this one is not this is not just like a few people saying things this time which like frankly should be enough in some cases but you know people just uh but uh uh uh this time it's like no there's text messages of him being like i can't wait to fuck a teenager tonight or whatever it's fucking egregious fucking priced it's not it's not like that's not a direct quote but like i saw some of the stuff and it was absolutely outrageous wild um yeah so you know he hopefully something comes of this i i hope god god i hope it's like you can't he shouldn't be able to get away with this especially looking the way he does which is insane but like there was that thing at the RNC where like he was like trying to razz uh mike mccarthy who's the you know former speaker the house that mat gates led the effort to get kicked out because he worked with joe biden a little bit um where like he tried to say something to mccarthy mccarthy was like yeah we'll fucking see buddy like yeah you're still under investigation so you know i hate to see mike mccarthy win but like except in this specific scenario i actually kind of like to see it uh couple of a couple of things i want to point out about this first of all i talked about catching strays earlier um can everyone please pour one out for journalist matt gertz this week just replied replied to this story on twitter with oh no and uh ray she owed it because uh he he gets tagged regularly by accident when people are trying to get talk about matt gates um so um feel feel in one for matt gertz this week while probably having a very rough week on socials tough week for matt gertz yeah um friend of the pogmat gertz uh the only thing i want to say though is that i don't know if matt gates will be the one but i've started to suspect that you know like some of these guys are starting to kind of like burn some of the these folks on their way out when they're getting ousted yeah and like sooner or later one of them is just gonna like do some kind of like tell all that's gonna destroy the entire republican party right one would like it's like it's probably not it's probably not gonna happen this time necessarily i don't want to be so hopeful but like doesn't that seem like a realistic yeah yeah like it's hard to imagine a world in which like these guys don't all just start turning on each other once they all start going down but also like again if if donald trump wins like none of that will happen in fact democrats will be going to jail because they said something mean about donald um but also i just want to point out that like uh uh it's easy to imagine that like oh throughout all of history it's been kind of like this that's true to an extent but it ebbs and flows yeah and so like the republicans of 80 years ago we're not having the same kind of completely depraved sex parties necessarily right or like you go back some distance and it's like you know there's a point at which this starts right and it's like it's getting worse and worse from everything that we can see from the outside like these people are getting more depraved more fucked up the parties are getting more hedonistic and debauched right we're in like a fall of the roman empire type era and so like it's just worth it to keep that in mind when you're thinking about this that it's like you know these it's easy to believe well if the details never came out before then they'll never come out now it's like actually like the bigger and crazier and more fucking fucked up these parties get the more likely we are to learn about them that's how Epstein got caught basically yeah yeah one can help um and our final weird pervert of the week uh this one's actually I don't know I feel a little mixed feelings on this a bit uh so Olivia Nuzzi who is a reporter for New York magazine has been suspended this week um if you don't know who Olivia Nuzzi is she gained a lot of notoriety for profiling of uh powerful men is specifically a lot of right wing men she did a an expose on Rudy Giuliani on Donald Trump and uh most recently on RFK jr and so she got in trouble this week after it came to light that she was having an affair with RFK jr Jesus this lady interviewed this man and like in their interview she's talking about how he's yelling at his dogs and like driving her around in this like fucked up car that he uses to transport his dogs that's like all torn to shreds and like has it's just a complete and something about this weekend she spent with them was like you know what I'm kind of into this so yeah uh she has been suspended now the reason is there is reportedly non-sexual no no no it is sexual just not physically it's uh over the phone right they were sexting um so and the other thing is is that like a lot of people were dunking on her because like at one point in like 2012 she said something about how like Hollywood is so wild that it always says that their journalists are sleeping with their sources like so that's like a bad look um however I will say that apparently like this is how they met her doing this story but like by the time they started having this affair she wasn't using him as a sourcing but like she'd already done the story so this isn't like you know people are saying like oh she was like trying to fuck him to get stories and it's like that's not really what's going on here um so like I will say like it is gross and disgusting that she was attracted to this man but like the way that people are talking about it like it's like destroying the ethics of journalism first of all most journalists won't call Gaza genocide so there is no fucking ethics in journalism but second of all like the timelines don't really match up for this to be like the kind of conflict of interest that you wouldn't really want to see here so I don't know it's more just gross because this dude looks like leatherface and sounds like a chainsaw he is the Texas chainsaw massacre um god that was a good fucking setup and spike there wow I love that anyways uh yeah that's fucked up or have you or is this the end of your pervert report because i have two perverts i would like to add oh shit bonus perverts bonus perverts uh pervert them on the list put them on the list keeps getting long i'm putting them on the mother fucking list okay pervert number one mohamad al-faid who is the was in charge of Harrods london but also is the father of uh princess diana's lover dodie al-faid uh he was accused of rape by many many women who worked at Harrods over the years what is Harrods it's a like like uh like neiman marcus but in london oh okay it's like a fancy store luxury department store okay okay big big money high profile purchasers like a big deal at this department store and um yeah so that guy super rich person uh abusing his power of course and and that abuse of power the direct victims of that were women so cool cool cool cool um and the other pervert i would like to add to this list is a frenchman by the name of dominique pelico and um dominique pelico over a period of oh god i know this okay yeah many years uh i don't like it when you start with over a period of time yeah like decades decades multiple decades repeatedly drugged his wife giselle pelico and she does want her name to be known she like was like no i want this to be public and i want everyone to know that this happened to me and nothing like this should ever happen but um giselle pelico he drugged his wife to the point of incapacitation and then invited men to his home to rape her while she was unconscious which he filmed and some of these were strangers to her and some of these were uh men that were in her like neighborhood in her community like the kind of people that she would wave hello to while like getting the mail or something and yeah i i believe that she was like like high double digits less less than a hundred but i think i saw like 40 or something much wait so many so many drugged and raped her and had videos of this uh and the reason that this came to light is because he was i mean he drugged her so many times that she was starting to experience early onset symptoms of Alzheimer's uh which he took her to the doctor was like let's figure out what's going on with you let's figure out what's up with your gentle brain he was fucking drugging her uh some of the men of course that were there and participated in these rapes claim that they thought that this was consensual and that this was part of the fun for her and that she was pretending to be sleeping which is a deranged thing to say because uh the husband had told these men that if she even was like if her arm twitched or if she moved at all that to like tell him because she was too awake so clearly they knew that she wasn't fucking sleeping but the way that they caught this guy was because um he got busted trying to take up skirt photos of other women um and then under like as part of that the investigation around that they discovered all of these videos of his wife being raped jesus fucking christ yeah i did see this story um and i looked at it and i was like i'm not i'm not qualified to talk about this so i'm glad you brought it up i will always pick the mother fucking bear yeah i will always pick the bear i fucking hate it here the bear the asteroid you know they they're making some good points i want to put the first five guys on the list i want this guy to be put on a different i want to let's put him on a list and then like let's quickly have him crossed out from that list exactly yeah list it a list that you don't spend a bunch of time on yeah yeah what's the what's speaking of that list what's the over under on um Sean combs committing quote unquote suicide in jail oh yeah fuck i forgot to bring that up people are talking about it like he's the new epsene which again he kind of is um so he's also i watch why did usher delete all his tweets here's the thing is that like epsene like you know the the the thing that makes sense to me is that epsene had a lot of dirt on like very powerful people and like did he has dirt on people that are like rich but not like structurally powerful like he's got dirt on a lot of people in the music industry but like it the clinton's can get somebody killed i like i don't know if like ti can or wait who did you say i said usher usher i don't know if usher can get somebody killed in a federal prison like or jail or whatever like it's not the same kind of like structural power um where like you are in like have tendrils within the state itself so i i don't know if he'll be Epstein but like i guess it is also possible that he could just kill himself i mean here's the thing even if none of those like if it's not just the performing uh not just the performing artist if it's industry executives i feel like they are closer to those kind of ties and and any of these people who have not just become wealthy for themselves but have made millions for someone else if that all crumbles a lot of a lot of really rich people's money goes down the fucking drain and they don't want that to happen and at least some of those people have power at least some of them i mean there have been some high profile assassinations and assassination attempts in the rap industry i mean uh uh uh bird man conspired to have little wane killed and and it didn't work out but he did get shot at and somebody went to jail over it you know and the courts indicted bird man or like named bird man in the case but did not like formally charge him um yeah so it's not outside the realm of possibility that would happen it's also not outside the realm of possibility that like he actually might just fucking commit suicide here's the thing is that he's got to know that if he does literally commit suicide that nobody will ever believe that that's what happened so like i'm just surprised he didn't flee the country yeah didn't he because like they raided his place like a month or two ago like just leave dog just that's it that's it you can't have your united united states life anymore like and like i understand fleeing the country is not a simple act don't get me wrong but like this guy had a lot of money uh and uh i mean still has a lot of money right he had enough money to pay off the mortgage on a 48 million dollar mansion so that like i had a i had of his arrest so he had the money to run away yeah i just think that part of it's like a little funny to me not from a perspective like in a conspiratorial type way but just in like a who's he thinking you know like right like why not just fucking get the fuck out of here man like that's the because i i keep wondering about this like you know it's been a while since one of these rich guys fled but part of that's just because they're getting away with a lot of shit well that's what i was gonna say is he probably didn't flee because like the thing is that in capitalism the more money you have the more you get to do whatever the fuck you want and i think that he believes himself to be at the level of money where he can buy his way out of anything yeah plus like you know just human logic the longer you get away with something the more you think you'll just get away with it forever so i don't know i mean all that makes sense but i'm just i i don't know it is very dumb that he didn't like at least just get on a plane and try to go to an island right like but you don't want to even act like you were just taken a vacay and then not return i but again like my life is not that and i still often think about boarding a plane never to return so perhaps i'm just primed for that sometimes i imagine how nice it would be to go to like somewhere with a big volcano and jump in it uh folks we have that the list keeps growing longer um there is just uh one story i want to end on it's a bit of good news we have good news every once in a while right right sometimes this is something uh very nice that i saw uh that for the first time in five years overdose deaths are dropping in the united states woo hoo yeah yes uh so that's good less people dying from overdoses uh inarguably good thing um so that's that's it that's the only good thing uh wait i've got a good i've got a good new story two good things whoa is this the best we get you on musk give it up his fight with brazil that's right oh really yeah that's actually somewhat it's not quite like breaking breaking but you probably might not have seen much about it yet because it's like still emerging to some extent yeah i didn't see anything about that uh uh so uh yeah elon uh he said he was gonna fight tooth and nail to the edge he'd never give in this was a matter of free speech this was a matter of democracy and rights and oh actually nevermind this seems like it's gonna get complicated i'm done so uh yeah elon musk uh has said he's gonna comply with all the shit that the brazilian supreme court wanted him to do uh whatever it takes to get x back online in brazil basically um this of course after blue sky grew by like literally millions of users as a result of elon doing this whoopsies um okay we love to see elon musk eat and crow um wait i want to add something to to add something supplemental good news to go along with your original good news about the opioid about the um sorry the overdose deaths there is a there was a bankruptcy settlement with regarding perdue pharma which is the sacklers yeah which is who um created the opioid crisis yeah not single-handedly but the most responsible for the fact that there is an opioid crisis the sacklers right uh i love the fact that perdue those cuts are fucking bankrupt and two the supreme court did overturn the bankruptcy settlement being offered by perdue pharma because it like overwhelmingly protected the sacklers themselves yeah yeah it and the supreme court was like nah so good poor poor one out by poor one out i mean poor a bottle of oxycontin into a toilet and flush it uh poor one out for all those fucking fuck them fuck them i agree and speaking of the total agreement i think the three of us can agree then it's the end of the show yeah yeah that's that's as many derailments as i've got yeah i mean we got kennedy's we got kennedy's link in park update we
