WEBVTT - RTC Gone Wild

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and welcome back to a real time crime

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>and welcome me back to America. Um baby in l A.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And if you are looking at a clip of me,

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you can see we've got the murder board behind me,

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>which only means one thing. I'm at home. Am I happy? No?

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I was just let's let's stop the facade. We don't

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>have to pretend like you're happy to be back in

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>your your apartment living room in Los Angeles while your

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend is over in Europe. You left for Europe for

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>like You're like, I'm going for a long weekend. Five

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks later, she's like, I'm back. Here's what really happened, Dmitri.

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>You didn't lay out the timeline correctly, and everyone deserve

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>know the details. I was going to a comedy festival

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>in Dubai for six days. Then some friends were like, hey,

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>when you come to in Croatia with us before Dubai.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Me having never been to Europe, never studied abroad, has

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>never gone on vacation, was like, yeah, maybe I'll do it.

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And since I've never gone on vacation, I was basically

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just like, oh my god, two and a half weeks

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>out of America, this is insane. I shouldn't do this.

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>This is crazy. So three days into my trip and

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a visa, my friend Danny was like, oh my god,

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>there's this um Jewish guy coming and you I should

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.639
<v Speaker 1>really get together. He's Australian. That was my Australian accent,

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and I hate when people push Jews together. So I

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, I don't want to meet this guy.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's like we're not going to get along

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>just because we're both Jewish, you know. And You're like, no,

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get along because holy crapp, he's hot. There

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we go. I saw him and I was like, never mind,

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm in um and the rest was history. And so

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>after Dubai, I went back to London, and then I

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>went to the can Film Festival, and I went back

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to London, and then we went to Paris together, and

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>then we went back to London and I met his family. Oops,

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll in into my ex in London who literally tackled

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>me to the street in front of your new boy.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't there, but he pulled me from here's the

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>craziest thing. He found me in London, pulled me from

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>behind and then tackled me down on onto the street

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and I literally didn't even scare. Was your ex boyfriend

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>like a w w E wrestler or uh no. But

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I didn't scream, let's you know that,

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like prepared to die. I was like, well,

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, it just gave up. I guess you got

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to be that. In order to host a true crime podcast,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>you have to be okay with with whatever happens. I

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, this is it, you know, um. But anyway,

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys, this is not what this is about. I

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>came here because I literally waited for the very last

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>day to come home for Air Griffin's wedding, which is today.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>So go to Eric's wedding later. And if Eric wasn't

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>getting married, I would have stayed in Europe. So we

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>have Eric to thank for my grand return. Earn. Wait,

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>so why didn't you bring um, why don't you bring

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>your boyfriend back? He also has a wedding. Did Eric

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>not give you a plus one? Yeah? Well no, Eric,

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Eric did give me a plus one ironically yesterday because like, yeah,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>we have a cancelation. You want to bring your boy

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and my keys in. He's been following your social media

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>like crap. Well, Eric has heard of me talk about

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>my sad seat of life literally for years now, so he,

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of all people, is very happy about this. But no,

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't come. He also has a wedding, but I'll

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>see him in a couple of weeks. You guys, no

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>one wants here about thank you. I think I think

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>they deserved an update because I'm sure they've been following

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you on social media. I think they deserve to kind

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of hear the update and what's going on. But it's

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>also understanding we don't want to lay it all out

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>now because we want to save it for when he

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>comes on. Yeah, but also, you know on my social media,

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm still single and all my clips are like, oh

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>my god, I'm single. And there was a couple of

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>your story has got a couple of pictures. They look

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>like engagement pictures. So I was gonna ask you about that.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>He only lost two thousand followers one photo of him,

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>did you really? I lost two thousand followers, and then

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I posted some stories being like, look, people, at some point,

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I am going to find a guy who will stay forever.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you're going to leave, just leave now, because

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>if I don't know what you thought, did you think

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna marry you person I've never met from

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the internet, Like, what did you want? Yeah? But I

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>mean you know so anyway, moral of a story is, uh,

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't really released the crack in on Instagram yet,

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Speaking of boyfriends, our first hot topic today

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>deals with a woman who allegedly films herself throwing her

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>cheating mother's ashes in a body of water. Hm. The

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>fact that you just said you've heard and seeing it all,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's one of our hot topics for today.

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Another hot topic will be discussing is an animal rescue

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>ceo arrested after thirty dead cats and dogs found in

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>her house. Finally rounding out with a socalled woman finding

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty six dollars in cash hidden in account she bought

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>off Craigslist. And we have a very special guest today,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Katinka Newman, who is a documentary filmmaker who created Girls

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Gone Wild Exposed, which will be airing Monday, doing thirteenth

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>on t n T. I can't wait to talk to her.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>But let's go back to that first. Let's not over

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So she this woman had a boyfriend that cheated on

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>her and her revenge was to film herself. By the way,

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>when you film yourself, you can't self sticks. But you

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>can't then say I didn't do it, because you may

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>be evidence yourself. You're literally like, look at me, I

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>did it, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I did it.

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>But this this this, So there's the two wrongs make

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>a right thing right, but then there's like a worse

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>or a worse wrong. Right. So I'm sorry that your

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend cheated on you. Okay, but if you want to,

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't really give ah, it seems like he cheated

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>because she's a little crazy. Well yeah. And then so

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>her getting back at him was to throw his mother's

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>ashes in a lake, Like I don't think I'm sorry

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that he cheated on you. Move on. It was a

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>boy friend. Sometimes this ship happens. I don't think it

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 1>should happen, but sometimes it does. But two, then desecrate

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>his mother's ashes in a lake, because that's like your

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>revenge thing. Just lose the sympathy. The whole point of

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of doing something or saying you got cheated on, I assume,

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is to gain sympathy, and you've thrown that out the window.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna have to call you, Dmitri popass Off.

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we're I think we're okay, Okay, you never mind. Yeah.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So this forty year old woman, Augustine Gladden e in

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 1>May I mean okay. So this is nearly two years

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>after she was accused of throwing her boyfriend's mother's ashes

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>into Lake Worth Um had a video go viral on

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>social media about her throwing the ashes the lake. Of course,

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it's always social media bringing things back into the light,

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.799
<v Speaker 1>use social sleuths. Apparently this happened in you know, covid

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>made people do crazy things, but she cannot check off

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>COVID for this one. This is all her babe. So

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>apparently they were not a good terms, which is obvious.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And then the man overheard a conversation between the suspect

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and her daughter in which she said she'd thrown the

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>urn into the lake and then she later did admit

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to it, and a video posted to the social media

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>platform TikTok l o l described the incident gain traction

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, gaining more than the thirty thousand views,

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>which should be honest, is not that name um. The video,

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>which appears to be re enactment of the incident, received

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a hundred comments, and to be fair, I don't know

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>why we're considering this viral like this is. You know,

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I got a hundred comments on bathing suit. I should

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>have gotten more, to be fair, should have gotten more.

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It should have been illegal that I only got a hundred.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But she's now facing an abuse of a corpse charge,

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>which is a class A misdemeanor. I mean, that's class

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>as Let me wow, thank you, thank you, welcome back

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to l a joke. I really appreciate it. Now let

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>me ask you something to Metri. What's the craziest thing

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you've done or would do to get revenge on an

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>unfaithful partner? Ear muffs to your wife? E exactly what

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I said. Played the sympathy card right, getting that the

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>whole point of when you've been wrong, this is your

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>prime opportunity to get to get sympathy and to get

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>attention from other people. Just just own it. Once you

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>do something wrong back, then you're just as bad, but

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in a different on a different stage. Well, Dmitri, thank

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you for asking me the same question in return. So

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>here's literally Leah, how about you? You're not allowed to breathe, Dmitri.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm well aware that you asked me a question so

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that you can answer and go ahead, what would you do?

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's like when someone says, like you text someone, hey,

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>how are you? But really you're just trying to get

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the conversation going so you can talk about yourself anyway.

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Um Hey, Dmitri, Hey, how are you okay? So I

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>will say that this was not intentional and it's not

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>as weird or crazy at all as anyone would think.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.199
<v Speaker 1>So I had suspected that my ex boyfriend was cheating

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>on me with multiple women around in the world, which

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>he was. It was a long story. So then there

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>was one day where he was in Mexico l O

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>L and he told me he was so tired. He

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>was working on set and I had so much thing

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, babe, I'm so sad for like, you know,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you're you work so hard. You deserve sleep and you

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>deserve all the best things. You're so hard working. I

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>love you so much. And he's like, oh, I'm just

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>going from set to sit. Did he say sex to

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>sex or set to the set? L O L? Hurt

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>my feelings one more time? In Dmitri, I might just

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>cry about it, don't worry. I don't have any feelings left.

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Was it the antidepressants or is it the exhaustion? Who's

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to say so. Then so then there was this girl

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that he recently started following on Instagram. Um, at this time,

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram, you could still see who liked too his photos,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>so you were still able to you were still able

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to stalk feeble that right, right, he was liking all

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.199
<v Speaker 1>our photos. And then I saw that he had been

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>commenting all this extremely flirty stuff on her photos, and

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>he recently started following her. And then I saw that

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>they were musical music festival together and she was posting

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>like her eyes on him on her Instagram story and

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>all this sort of stuff very benign. So then he

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>came home and I asked him about her. I said, Hey,

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>what's something going on that girl? And he was like,

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>you're being crazy, nothing's going on with her. And she's

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>an old friend, Oh, an old friend that you just

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>happened to meet this weekend, someone you just started following

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>because she's such an old friend. Anyway, So then the

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>next weekend he's like he goes back to Mexico and

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he was like, oh, I'm so tired and going set

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>to set again, and I have a little less sympathy

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>this time. And I see that she happens to be

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on set from her Instagram stories because she's a little

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>cloud chaser. He was well known person. Okay, So then

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I see in her Instagram story he was like, Babe,

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't make it back to America. I gotta shoot

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>this whole weekend. And I was like, that's okay, I

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>understand you're busy. Congratulations on being successful. I've seen her

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Instagram story that they she actually let me reverse. He

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>flew to go see her in Guadalajara for the whole

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>weekend and she's instagramming the fun. You were still together

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>at this point. No, no, no. So once I saw

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that there had been some questionable moments in the past

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>where I like blocked unblocked him, you know, went crazy.

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you're cheating on me and he was like, no, no,

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I just got um I caught something at the gym.

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he did. I would rule that out either,

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and um, yeah, I caught something at the gym. So

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. And I didn't want you to think I

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>was cheating on you with someone, so I didn't want

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to tell you I was home. When I was home,

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of little white lies in there,

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I think along the way white lies are just full

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 1>on lines. Anyway, more old story. So then I blocked

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>him on everything. And at this time, I'm basically living

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>with this guy. I had already moved out of my

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>apartment and I was just about to leave to go

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to an event. So I had this is so random.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I cut my hair, and I had intended to come

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>back to the apartment, but I never went back to

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the apartment. And I left my hair, like my dead

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>hair all over the floor. So weird, like piles of

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>dead air everywhere. That's our social clip right there, no context,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>just I just left my dead hair all over the

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>floor like I left the DNA. We know who did it.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>It was me. It's my hair on the floor. Is

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it's exactly the color of my hair because it's my hair,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.719
<v Speaker 1>sure is. And um, I can only imagine since I

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 1>blocked him, he tried getting in touch with me a bunch. Uh,

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>he came home and just saw my hair everywhere. Anyway. Um,

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>not to beat a dead hair. Still not as bad

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>as throwing an urn of of of mother his mother's

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>ashes and like, no, Dodd, Dodd, but it's not and

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't even revenge, it was unintentional. I just couldn't

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>fathom the idea of going back there anyway. Um, So yeah,

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>let's just move on. I think because I'm I think

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I spent a lot of time talking about my ex boyfriend.

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually a little more nervous to hear what story

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you might have that goes along with this next one. Sorry,

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing the light fade from Dmitri's eyes the harrowing thing.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So this woman is arrested after they find dead cats

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and two dead dogs and two dead cats that were

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>decomposed and kept inside cages and creates in her home.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>And she was the CEO of an animal rescue so

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I think she I think she misinterpreted what that job entailed.

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Dear God. Apparently deputy has performed a welfare check at

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>her home, Caroline Pennington's house. She's forty seven. Uh, this

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>is May twenty second, So it does a couple of

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago after receiving calls about a smell of death

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>at her house. Not even something weird's happening, the smell

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of death. Who called this in? I don't know who

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>called it in, But I mean, obviously it must have

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>been a neighbor or something. But it's twisted. This woman

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>was the CEO of an animal rescue and somehow she

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>got thirty animals into her home and it says that

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>they died from um starvation and dehydration. So that that

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>was my point. Clearly, she doesn't know what that job entails.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Where was she rescuing from them from if she brought

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>them home and left them to do, absolutely animal cruelty.

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>But also, like, do you think that you would be

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>able to identify the smell of I think it's probably

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a smell of like because people have reported like when

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it's usually like a dead body or something. But people

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>people say, oh, it's just it's probably beyond a stench

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>that you've ever comprehended. So you're like, this has got

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to be something bad. The other thing that's so odd

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>is that apparently they've been deceased for a while. How

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>did she live there? How did she physically live there?

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you not be able to breathe? I'm guessing she

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>has some issues. She's not all there um clearly obviously

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to do any of the stuff that she has done.

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Um is sick and twisted, So it's a great question

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>how did she live there? But it's kind of like

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>who even needs an answer for that? Because if you're

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>able to do the first part, the second part doesn't

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>really the second part is not going to surprise. I mean,

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think she used her status as CEO and

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>director of the animal rescue called Growl to steal donations

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>meant for the care of animals? Mud? But what was

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>she even doing with that money? Like it appears it's

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>not as if she was taking care of herself or

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>her home or what was she using the money for?

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Kind of confusing. I don't condone and scams like that, obviously,

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and especially not when you're harming animals. But I mean,

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna sound so think it through though. If

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you're taking the money and you're taking me up, you're

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>just bringing them home and then leaving him dead and

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you're in your house or your apartment, it doesn't it

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a huge mental disconnect here obviously for many reasons, but

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't even execute this. What do you think that

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>she'll get charged with? And do you think that she'll

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 1>file for mental owners I think that's what I think

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the hip thing to do. The trendy thing to

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>do now is to is to say, oh, is mental

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>illness because we're probably not there to think of it, right,

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>because maybe they do have a mental illness or they

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously have some sort of mental illness to be able

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to do something like this. But two then be like,

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they get a lawyer, and a lawyer says, well,

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>here's what we're gonna do, and that's where the whole

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I just I understand that everybody deserves a lawyer, but

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>that's where this kind of stuff bothers me is because

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>don't come in and give them something that might get

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>them off, because they don't deserve to get off, and

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't deserve to make up reasons why they can

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>get out of something. Just lay out the truth and

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.479
<v Speaker 1>I let the jury decide. And guys, that was Dmitri

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Pappus on getting off. I don't think that was the illegal.

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh all right. We don't have a lot of time

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 1>today because we have an incredible interview coming up, So

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I just want to, do you mind if we just

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>run through this last story to me, because I think

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>it's we're leaving it on an upbeat. I think we

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 1>should do that before we were the guest. I think

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>let's let's have an upbeat story. And this is a

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>wild story because I just want to say good people

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 1>like this I think are rare. And it sounds like

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>this woman found got odd, which most of us need

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to do. Let me listen. Okay, this so cold woman

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.880
<v Speaker 1>finds thirty six thousand dollars in cash in cold art

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>cash hidden in her couch that she bought on craigslist.

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Like okay, and here's what happens is in one of

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the pillows. And she said she was never tempted to

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>keep what she found. She immediately returned the money to

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the family who gave her the furniture. She said, God

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>has been kind to me and my children. They're all

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>alive and well I have been beautiful grandchildren. So what

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>can I ever ask of God? Yeah? Thirty six dollars? Okay?

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 1>So she said he was browsing online ads for new

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>furniture and she saw some free items free, so she

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.239
<v Speaker 1>clicked on the first thing that came to mind that

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the family wanted to give away was a sofa and

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 1>everything in their bedroom. And she said she thought it

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was maybe a gimmick and it wasn't a gimmick. The

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.439
<v Speaker 1>family just wanted to give away the furniture and explain

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>that a loved one had recently passed and that they

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>were just liquidating everything they owned. So the sofa and

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the chair fit perfectly into her home, and when she

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>was inspecting them, she just found thirty six thousand dollars

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of cash and envelopes. And when she returned the cash

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to the family, they said that they had also found

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.360
<v Speaker 1>other cash inside the house, but only a few hundred dollars,

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>which is I mean, this is all crazy. Also, I

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>just will say my Jewish grandmother did this as well.

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 1>She had money in books and in in pillow cases

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and just like a whole bunch of interesting things like that.

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, as a thank you, they agreed to pay

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>for a new refrigerator for her and gave her very

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you found thirty six hundred dollars in

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the second hand couch dollars, I think I'm I think

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm notifying the people, I honestly do. I think

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>one part of me would probably a little scared to

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:28.959
<v Speaker 1>be like, do they know? And now they're gonna come

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and get it at some point. So I'd like to

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to take out the portion where they come breaking into

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>my house to take it back. Maybe they were hiding

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it from someone and how to get it out of

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the house. I don't want to be the target from

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. But also, you know, I can't sit here

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.719
<v Speaker 1>and preach that. I think people should do the right

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 1>thing more often. And I'd be like, oh, if I

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>found thirty six thou dollars in a couch where I

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 1>knew where the couch came from, if I got the

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>couch from like a second hand store, maybe it's different.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I probably hold on the money. I thought it was

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>drug money. That was my first thought, right, was that

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>this is dirty money, and that's so terrifying. My second

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>thought was could I pay off my student loans in cash?

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And the answer is no, not even close. But the

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>thing is so my My first and um, I'm know

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go because we have a guest, But my

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is my first thing was like, you know what,

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>who who hides thirty six thousand dollars and then forgets

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.959
<v Speaker 1>like you sell a couch, whatever you do, you don't

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>remember you put it there. But then it said that

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a lovel one had passed, so clearly the loved one

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>probably hit it there and they were just getting murder

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of the furniture. So then I really do feel badly

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>for them, Yeah, of course. And it's like, you know,

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.399
<v Speaker 1>the money and for the family. Do you think they

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>should have given her more money? I probably would have

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>given her, like I don't know, thousand dollars and you

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>get twenty two hundred and a new fridge. Oh, this

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>is like the prices, right, it is like the press, right,

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the fridge and you get a fridge and you that's oprah.

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have done five thousands. Yeah, I wouldn't

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 1>have that. That was the number that came to me

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to look at us, look at us a little five

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.199
<v Speaker 1>thousand airs. But also you know, it's interesting like I

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 1>found something valuable in an unexpected place once too, I

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.719
<v Speaker 1>found a British Jewish boyfriend and abisa, which is like

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I literally fell in love and a hopeless placed. So anyway,

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys let us know in the comments on at

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Real Time Crime Pod how much money you would have

0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 1>given her back. And we gotta go to break because

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 1>we're about to talk to a Girl's Gone wild. Bosed

<v Speaker 1>harmless fun of what T shirt competitions and bus fueled

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 1>spring breaks and into dark back rooms with Joe Francis,

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>where girls were coerced to take part in actions far

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>more sinister than flashing on a beach. The show documents

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 1>frances is increasingly bizarre and violent downward spile, which all

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>played out in the public eye while he continued to

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 1>rub shoulders with some of Hollywood's most popular stars. I'm

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>sure you know a lot of them. With first time

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:59.199
<v Speaker 1>exclusive accounts, the two hour episode uncovers an audio recording

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of a verbal altercation between Frances and his estranged wife,

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 1>along with interviews from the women who say their lives

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.640
<v Speaker 1>were ruined and who are now battling to reclaim their

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>identities by sharing their stories, some of whom were even

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 1>on the covers of these videos without ever even knowing it.

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, Katenka so pleased to be here. It was

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>so happy to have you. And I mean, everyone knows

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 1>about Girls Gone Wild. This is a huge sensation that

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.399
<v Speaker 1>took America by storm. And I guess we're curious to

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>know what attracted you to the Girls Gone Wild story

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in the first place, and how did this whole project

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>come about? Well, I guess as a as a film

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 1>like filmmaker, I like to give a voice to ordinary people. Um.

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>And it struck struck me that there was that there

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>was definitely going to be a story behind this. But

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>what I didn't realize I thought to begin with that

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I was going to be making a film about a

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>sleazy pornographer. Had no idea the extent of the abuse

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>um that was behind the Girls Gone Wild empire. UM

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:06.399
<v Speaker 1>so Joe Francis. He basically was given a free pass

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>by the entertainment industry, by the Celebsit that he hung

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>out with um and women trusted him. People trusted him

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because he rubbed shoulders with the Kardashians and m Brad Pitt,

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Andison go on and so forth. Um So, to

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>begin with, I thought it was I thought that we

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>were going to be making something that that was was

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just looking perhaps at the that that you know, things

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>weren't quite as they seemed, and that there would be something,

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, beyond the kind of the girls flashing the

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:43.919
<v Speaker 1>camera the camera, and so you didn't know how right

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.679
<v Speaker 1>you were. I didn't know how what wright it was

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely right. So, um, it turned out to be a

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>much bigger story I was. I was genuinely shocked by

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>some of the footage that I saw. So basically what

0:25:56.640 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>was happening is that girls were being filmed without there,

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.959
<v Speaker 1>without even knowing that the cameras were there. So some

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>some girls were taking part in bikini contests and they

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 1>had no idea that the cameras were there, and then

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>they would discover many years later that they were had

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>been cut into the Girl's Gone World videos. But worst

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of all, there were girls who were some some were underage,

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but some had just turned eighteen. They were they were

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>applied with drink by Joe Francis and his cameramen, and

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 1>they were then asked to sign very complex legal documents,

0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and then he and his camera member would persuade them

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to take part in really hardcore girl on girl sex

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>scenes that they would never ever usually have taken part in,

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and then they would wake up the next morning think,

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.479
<v Speaker 1>oh God, what what what did I do? And of

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>course that they had signed away all of their rights

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's what it just still out there. It's interesting

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>because you when you say, you know, it's it seemed

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>one thing and I do you know, this was at

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 1>the time where all this kind of reality stuff was

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>really booming, and so people thought, oh, I'm gonna be

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>on camera, but it was really was portrayed in Hollywood

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and everywhere. I'm proud to say that I never bought

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>any of those and I never got into those, but

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it was there was portrayed that this was just people

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:20.679
<v Speaker 1>having fun and oh there's a camera, I'm gonna lift

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>up my shirt, and it seemed very much like everybody was,

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, was going along with this is just people

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.880
<v Speaker 1>who wanted to do this. But then I watched them

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and deep down and after the years went on, we

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 1>learned that it wasn't that. But I watched the trailer

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 1>for your documentary, and uh, fantastic, by the way, even

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 1>just that two and a half minutes. But when it goes, oh,

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and this, and girls were doing this and this, and

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>then you cut to the one girl and she goes,

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it was the worst out of my life. And it's

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 1>like that right there encapsulated everything that we didn't know

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>what was happening. You know, we thought, as you explained,

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody thought, oh, they're doing this for a free T shirt,

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 1>how exciting. But there was so much darkness behind it.

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>And and also most of these women were never compensated, right,

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I mean he was making his hype was

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 1>one while I was making a hundred million a year,

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and these girls were getting a T shirt or a hat.

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>So it was built into his business model that he

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>knew that he would be that that that he would

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:22.200
<v Speaker 1>be sued by some girls who are underage or whose

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>image he had stolen or whatever. On the for the

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>main part, he got away with it because once these girls,

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>if they were eating her over, if they had signed

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:33.879
<v Speaker 1>that document, that was it. They had no rights whatsoever.

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>But occasionally girls who were under age or whatever would

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>would be able to sue. So that was in his

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 1>business model. So there was a lawyer who was who

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>was representing somebody and she had access to these documents

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and that was that was in his business plan that

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>he was that millions would be spent on when he

0:28:55.000 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>was dude, but then very very in terms of talent,

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it was just T shirts and hats. Can you imagine

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>being So it's in your business model. Put some money

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 1>aside for when we inevitably get sued for taking advantage

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>of under each girls like that's that's in the budget.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why do you think they didn't take any precautions

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to find out how old people were before they felt

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they did? They did, but girls, I mean did the

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>sad things were so keen to do it that they

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>would lie about their age. For me, I call girls

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>gone wild. When I look at my credit card statement

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>after going to the Chanel store in Paris getting that

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>back for a while, Joe France has got nothing on me. Um, yeah,

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is honestly. This is also interesting because

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe touted female empowerment because he said that these women

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>had a choice to participate in the videos he produced,

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>just like you were saying, and when you factor in

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.120
<v Speaker 1>all the alcohol they consume, do you believe that they

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 1>were actually at menage of or do you think that

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>there was an element of female empowerment. I mean when

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you some of the some of the videos of just girls,

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, just taking taking their t shirt up and

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 1>flashing their breasts and so on, you know, that's that's

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>one thing. It's a completely different thing when you've got

0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>girls who are drunk scenes and really genuinely their lives

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>were ruined by that. You know, years later that that

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>footage was out there, they met, but at that point

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 1>they they have got married and so on and so forth. Um,

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>some were, um just kind of ostracized by their community

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 1>because of what because of what had happened. So it

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 1>really lives were being ruined. It. It just wasn't about

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>girls flashing for the cameras. That's not what it was.

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>That's really not what what that was about. That was

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>just a front and behind that something much much since

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>more sinister was going on. And as the as our

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>research progressed, worse than that that that Joe Francis is

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>a violent abuser. The film opens with an audio recording

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of him beating up his the mother of his children.

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>M and there have been many charges of violence against him.

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>So he's got form. And what's the current state of

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>him right now? Is he out of the country in Mexico,

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So if he comes back to the to the States,

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he'd be arrested. And he's just living in a luxurious

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a state, right. Yeah, he has a beautiful Mexican villa.

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, yeah, his wife, he's not his His wife

0:31:56.280 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>is fighting for custody for the for the children. Embroiled

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in a in a custody battle, and he was saying

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>that she kidnapped their two daughters. But I guess that

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 1>she left saying that Francis was doing drugs and was

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>abusive throughout all that, Right, isn't that what was going

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>on there? I think he says that she could um,

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he says that she kidnapped the children. I doubt if

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:29.719
<v Speaker 1>she's got the children. They met because of the you know,

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 1>America's most Hottest Woman in America competition, Right, that was

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>how they met and she won, That's right. Yes, I

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>think I think they may have met before that, but

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 1>but she was but she was in the in the

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 1>girl's Gone wild idears, So it was a competition for

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the position of his girlfriend. Well basically, well, you know,

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really interesting because there is a difference between flashing

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 1>a camera, right, that doesn't necessarily ruin your or that's

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 1>something that happens at Mardy Grad that that's HBO or

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Netflix say, but anything past that, you know, some people

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>might even say doing that could can make your career

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 1>as an actress. But anything past that is you know

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that that's exploiting someone if that is against their wishes.

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Well they were. They were completely drunk and and persuaded

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to sign very complex legal documents that company the rights

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to the right to sell that, to use that those

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:41.200
<v Speaker 1>images and sell them to to other distributors. So it

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was it's really sad. I mean when I when I

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>watched those videos, it was just sickning. You could just

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so young and it kind of looked like child pornography,

0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it really did. They were They looked so young, they

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.479
<v Speaker 1>were so impressionable, and they were they were being forced

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>into into augy is and Joe was coaching the girls,

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>right did jail All his camera men were choreographing these orgies.

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, millions of people were buying these videos. People

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>saw what was going on, So it's really extraordinary that

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's kind of allowed to character continue. Yeah, they

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 1>they had infomercials, right and the and like the paid

0:34:31.600 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 1>programming on TV where they would advertise these videos and

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 1>people would order them and they would be sent and

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the fact just to think that that's what was on

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the videos and that was happening. And I don't know

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:41.920
<v Speaker 1>if it was just that he went about it legally

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.520
<v Speaker 1>from the perspective of being able to do anything about it,

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>but that seems kind of ridiculous to be able to

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:51.759
<v Speaker 1>buy paid programming and have a commercial for people to

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 1>order vhs and DVDs. Yeah, particularly that because they weren't

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>being paid. I mean, it's quite different thing, isn't it.

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 1>If you've got actors who are big, who who understand

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the contract that they're signing and elect to take part

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 1>in a pornography scene because they're being properly paid, that's

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a completely different thing than girls who are barely legal

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of the legal age, you know, barely eighteen and some

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.719
<v Speaker 1>in some instances they were also underage because they lied

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 1>about their age. But yes, say they are just eighteen, Um,

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 1>they just don't know what they're doing. They're not getting

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.840
<v Speaker 1>paid for it at all. They're getting a hat or

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a T shirt. It's completely wrong and exploitative, and they're

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>doing things they just clearly would never usually do. Right,

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And so Joe filed for bankruptcy before Mexicol with his

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:52.919
<v Speaker 1>ex Abbey and their two daughters. So do you think

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that he has as money to survive for a long time? Well,

0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I know that you can that he rents out his

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Mexican villa for I think it's something like forty dollars

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a night, So he has a lot of celebrity guests.

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, what do you think the man? The man

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>is as an entrepreneur through and through? Yeah? Right? He

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.560
<v Speaker 1>said he has two daughters. Now I don't know how

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 1>old they are. But do you think or was there

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>any kind of change in his mind at some point

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 1>when he all of a sudden he was taking advantage

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of these girls for so long that when he had daughters.

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it can change someone because you see something from

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a different perspective. Do you think there was any any

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:47.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of that? You think he's just as as sleezy

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>now as he was then. Um, I think that Joe

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Francis has a lot of uncontrollable anger issues. Documentary reveals

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 1>his impowering taken had taken out a restraining order against it.

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>There were many charges and one of the reasons that

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 1>he fled to Mexico was there was he if he

0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>came back, he would have to go to prison because

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>there was a he was he was found guilty of

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 1>assault and battery. He invited some girls back to his

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>house um and wouldn't allow them to leave and and

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:36.319
<v Speaker 1>banged one of their heads against the ground. So that

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was the That was the final charge and led to

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>him fleeing from Mexico as well. Of course there was

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the money issues as well. So he has huge violent

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he has huge issues with abuse and violence. And I

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:59.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that just changes overnight and ego because

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I are the line where he says, I'm Joe Francis,

0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>like he thinks, you know, clearly thinks he's untouchable, Like

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:07.240
<v Speaker 1>why would why would I have to answer to anything

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 1>he has that he does have? Yeah, exactly, there is

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 1>a sense of entitled mention, and I think that it's

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:16.280
<v Speaker 1>just not something that changes overnight. And the documentary dells

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 1>into some into a possible EXPNA. She's not an excuse,

0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's an explanation for where that comes from. He

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:28.280
<v Speaker 1>went to one of those, UM, one of those schools

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>for troubled teens where the schools were very wealthy pet

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 1>middle class parents send their kids who are a bit troublesome,

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and they are these schools are well. The school that

0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:44.840
<v Speaker 1>he went to was shut down because of abuse, UM.

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And the regime is just horrendous. I mean literally, you're

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 1>dropped their age for eleven or twelve, Your parents don't

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.359
<v Speaker 1>tell you that you're going there, that you think you're

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 1>going somewhere completely different, and then you look up and

0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:01.799
<v Speaker 1>they're driving down down the driveway and you don't. You

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 1>don't see them for another twelve months. So he went

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to one of those schools, and many as the pupils

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 1>who went there, UM, some have have killed themselves, some

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>have drug problems, all sorts. So some of them have

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.279
<v Speaker 1>then turned and and done the same thing to other

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:23.840
<v Speaker 1>people where they lie to them. And of course, so

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>it's this, it's what it's the situation, isn't it that

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the abuse becomes the abusers? Maybe is where his need

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to control who has come from. Well, I mean to

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 1>me teaser, it just seems like a level of narcissism

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:48.399
<v Speaker 1>that's completely uncontrollable. He thinks he can get out of

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:52.439
<v Speaker 1>any legal issue. He's he's kicking and screaming, essentially being

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 1>like do you know who I am? That's that his

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>whole energy is do you know who I am? As

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 1>they're showing him with Mario Lopez and you know he's

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.359
<v Speaker 1>rubbing shoulder. Is that the Kardashians. You know. It's also

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:05.080
<v Speaker 1>confusing because it's like, with all the money he had

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and all the success, how did he get so far

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:20.840
<v Speaker 1>in debt? Well, um, it's a good question, I guess. Um. Well,

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:25.759
<v Speaker 1>actually the main reason entirely because of that, because of

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 1>that sense of entitlement and us and so he basically

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:34.600
<v Speaker 1>he um, uh, he lost a whole load of money

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 1>in one of Steve Win's casinos. Um, and then he

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>landed to win, Oh my god. And then there was

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a big court case and uh, and Joe lost. So

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>he lost a huge amount of money from that. Now,

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you this. So when you started this

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>documentary said Okay, I think I know what this is.

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:59.040
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be this you know, pornography thing,

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you realized that the depth in the darkness

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to it, was there ever point either where you wanted

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 1>to stop or was it that you wanted to Then

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:10.799
<v Speaker 1>you became someone like I really want to get to

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of all this and expose all of this.

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:15.520
<v Speaker 1>And and I imagine there's a part of you that

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:17.759
<v Speaker 1>hopes that this guy will be caught and brought back

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>in and justice will be served. For the justice will

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.759
<v Speaker 1>never be served because those people won't get it, will

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 1>never wipe away from their lives, They'll never get their

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>lives back and all the trauma that's happened to them,

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 1>but justice being serving that he would have to, you know,

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.359
<v Speaker 1>suffer for what he's done as well. Well. The documentary

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was commissioned initially is a one hour and then when

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 1>we realized what we had, the broadcaster asked if if

0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 1>we could make it into a two hour and we

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:46.719
<v Speaker 1>were like yeah, um. And I think for me the

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>most important thing was that actually these women hadn't hadn't

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.840
<v Speaker 1>had a voice before. It takes a lot of courage

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 1>to come out on TV and say that you've been

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:04.879
<v Speaker 1>raped by somebody who um, who has been a celebrity, UM.

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think that I think it's been amazing for

0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the for the for the survivors to have had a

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 1>voice in the documentary and to really be believed, because

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that I think that there's a sort of

0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 1>consensus that a TV documentary like this, we wouldn't give

0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>people a platform unless we were sure that their versions

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of events were extremely credible. We wouldn't take the risk.

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So it automatically gives people credibility. He doesn't it, um

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think that that has been massively empowering for

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>women who have for the women who have been completely disempowered.

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:48.280
<v Speaker 1>And you'll see when you see the documentary, you'll see

0:42:48.320 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 1>that these are women who were disbelieved and who in

0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 1>one instance, she she one a paltry amount in a

0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in a case against France, so she got ten tho

0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars because argued made some kind of argument that the

0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>company was going to again bankrupt or whatever, and that

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:15.000
<v Speaker 1>she should just take what she could get or whatever. Um. So,

0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:19.240
<v Speaker 1>So for me, that was the most satisfying thing. Um.

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And he's an incredibly charming, convincing man who may well

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just believed his own publicity that you know, the things

0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that he says that he genuine when you. You'll see

0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:36.799
<v Speaker 1>in the documentary that he just says things that completely

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:39.880
<v Speaker 1>are not true. Like there's a video of him and

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 1>there's some CCTV footage of him beating somebody up, and

0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you just and you just then see him saying, oh,

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you know that, that he didn't do it, and I

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:54.000
<v Speaker 1>just wonder whether he believes it. But he actually just

0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:58.319
<v Speaker 1>really has his own kind of version of events just

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:00.840
<v Speaker 1>playing in in his hair it and he is a

0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>complete He believes what he tells himself, and certainly a

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of people believe him because he's just so charming,

0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 1>so weird, because I just keep telling people I want

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:16.879
<v Speaker 1>an Oscar, but I didn't, and I really do believe it,

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I really do, you know. I think that is again

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.280
<v Speaker 1>just like a level of narcissism that's so out of control.

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.399
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of narcissists are very charming. That's why

0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>people fall for them, and that's why they make great

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.480
<v Speaker 1>business people. That's why you know, a lot of narcissists

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>do very well financially when they're unmasked. This sort of

0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>behavior happens because the narcissists love themselves, right, so then

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they portray that and then people see that confidence, and

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it goes back to some of the best liars of

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the thing. It's that old Costanza, George Costanza from Seinfeld.

0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:47.880
<v Speaker 1>He goes, it's not a lie if you believe it.

0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:50.719
<v Speaker 1>And so it's very possible that Joe Francis thinks I

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do this, I didn't

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 1>do that, And it's like, that's very it's a very

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 1>difficult case to argue with with someone. I think that

0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that is uh. I think that's absolutely I think that

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you're right. I think he just believe it himself. So

0:45:08.360 --> 0:45:10.760
<v Speaker 1>do you think that there's anything that people will find

0:45:10.880 --> 0:45:14.920
<v Speaker 1>absolutely surprising while watching the documentary? Yes, I think the

0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>level of violence and I think the exploitation, but what

0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>was really going on behind closed doors? But these girls

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 1>were just they were they were applied with drink. And

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 1>when you hear we couldn't were not we weren't allowed

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to actually for obvious reasons, show the sex scenes. But

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you can hear the audio, which in some ways kind

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 1>of like worse. I think people will just be totally shocked.

0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And the bases, the kind of the the whole kind

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:48.279
<v Speaker 1>of business shenanigans, how he was with his business. You know,

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:53.279
<v Speaker 1>people were tricked into a continuity agreement, the way he

0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 1>was with his staff, so on and so forth, there

0:45:56.640 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>was a lot that we couldn't put in. But I

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:04.359
<v Speaker 1>think the thing that we're in people's mind is um

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:07.759
<v Speaker 1>The audio recording of him beating up is the mother

0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:10.759
<v Speaker 1>of his his children is absolutely chilling. I remember the

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:12.400
<v Speaker 1>first time I heard it, it was like, you know,

0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it just made it was just sickly. It sounds like

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he's about to kill her. Was the recording from before

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Mexico or in Mexico, within Mexico recently she had recorded it?

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:31.960
<v Speaker 1>M hmm. I mean, also, do you think, after researching

0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe that his intention when he set out to create

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:38.680
<v Speaker 1>this empire was for to get this out of hand?

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Like do you think that this was part of his

0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:42.840
<v Speaker 1>nature and his business plan or do you think it

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 1>started a little bit more innocently and then he just

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:51.040
<v Speaker 1>started spiraling and seeing what he could get. I think

0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the answer to that question, but I

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:58.600
<v Speaker 1>think that if you don't have a moral compass, it

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't take long. But that I mean, if you if

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't have any kind of parameters, we don't have

0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:09.800
<v Speaker 1>any morality, I mean nothing was off limits for Joe Francis,

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely nothing. So he started actually taking clips. So he

0:47:15.239 --> 0:47:18.440
<v Speaker 1>worked as a production or he worked on a company

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of making a program called Band from Television UM and

0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that was so basically he was he was that was

0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a serious sort of taking kind of outtakes that no

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 1>one could broadcast, and he would sort of package them up. Well,

0:47:36.719 --> 0:47:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that kind of like shows a sense of tastelessness anyway,

0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:41.560
<v Speaker 1>because they're kind of like accidents, you know, things that

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:46.120
<v Speaker 1>train crashes, things that nobody else would want to want

0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:49.919
<v Speaker 1>to see, want to broadcast. So already you can see

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that that this is somebody who who has a lack

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of empathy that wants to make that you know that

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't care what he's broad asking, doesn't care about

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:06.120
<v Speaker 1>people's feelings, It doesn't have a sense of taste and decency,

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't have a kind of moral compass, doesn't care

0:48:09.160 --> 0:48:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that he's making money out of people's misfortunes. And in

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:15.720
<v Speaker 1>some instances, you know, people there's footage of people dying.

0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>What did he care? It was gonna it was gonna

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:20.800
<v Speaker 1>he was going to make money out of it, noether

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:24.240
<v Speaker 1>that it was a train crash or skiing accident or whatever.

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:28.960
<v Speaker 1>If you if you could make money out of it, great, well. Okay, So,

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:33.360
<v Speaker 1>according to the Hollywood Reporter, Francis had been found guilty

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of false imprisonment, tax evasion, defamation, contempt of court, and

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>assault causing great bodily injury, and he planned no contest

0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to fill any child abuse and misdemeanor inner prostitution. Do

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you think that if he ever came back to America

0:48:48.920 --> 0:48:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that he would be charged with anything else? Um M,

0:48:55.480 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the answer to that question. I mean

0:48:57.280 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that would that would be enough. I mean, he'd certainly

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.200
<v Speaker 1>have to start. He'd and me have to go to

0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>prison to serve the sentence that he run away from,

0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. And the woman whose head he bashed

0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 1>did five? She did? Yes, she did? And does she

0:49:13.640 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 1>have any life long injuries? Um I don't know the

0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:22.040
<v Speaker 1>answer to that question. We didn't talk to her. We

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 1>talked to her. Uh. We talked to the policewoman who

0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:33.120
<v Speaker 1>handled that case, and we read the files. But that

0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:37.000
<v Speaker 1>seems to be his plans, his modus operanda. There were

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:40.000
<v Speaker 1>more than one occasions when one occasion when he would

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>slam the head of a woman on the floor, but

0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that was that's his that's his mode of attack more.

0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:54.399
<v Speaker 1>He's done that more than once. Your claim to fame

0:49:54.520 --> 0:49:57.920
<v Speaker 1>is making a fortune out of other people's misfortunes. It's

0:49:57.960 --> 0:50:00.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty sick. Now. Question about the celebrit is because obviously

0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned he ran with some with some high profile celebrities.

0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I know the answer to this, But none

0:50:05.800 --> 0:50:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of them are in the documentary. No, I mean we

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:12.839
<v Speaker 1>approached a hundred of his celebrity friends to ask them

0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to take part, and maybe that I that makes sense,

0:50:17.280 --> 0:50:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and as and it is, it is really shocking. You know,

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:23.640
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't claim that they didn't know what was going

0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:26.840
<v Speaker 1>on at the time. I mean, Joe Francis was was

0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:31.359
<v Speaker 1>in prison as in the early two thousand's, and he

0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 1>was imprisoned for quite serious charges, child pornography charges. But

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.759
<v Speaker 1>and actually you're seeing the documentary, the King Kardashian is

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:45.360
<v Speaker 1>wearing a T shirt saying free Joe Francis, and there's

0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a clip of her mom, you know, talking to to

0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:53.320
<v Speaker 1>phoning Joe in in jail, saying, oh, you know, we

0:50:53.440 --> 0:50:55.879
<v Speaker 1>must get you out. I mean, it's extraordinary because Joe

0:50:55.920 --> 0:50:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Francis wasn't he was in jail for serious charges and

0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:03.239
<v Speaker 1>they continue to be his friend when he is after that.

0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:07.879
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't know what will happen after the documentary

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>as whether they will um separate themselves from him. I

0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:14.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Imagine this,

0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that's that typical. We knew him as this, we didn't know.

0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like people that an hour or nowadays

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that the more recent one where I had never been

0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:25.239
<v Speaker 1>to the island. I didn't know what went on on

0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the island. You know. It's whenever someone's attached to someone

0:51:27.800 --> 0:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and then it comes out that that they were like, oh, yeah,

0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:33.279
<v Speaker 1>we're friends, and there's pictures. It's difficult to deny, as

0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned with with some of those people that

0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they were in those scenes and all of a sudden,

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:37.839
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well, I didn't know. So the next step

0:51:37.880 --> 0:51:38.880
<v Speaker 1>is to come out and say I didn't know what

0:51:38.920 --> 0:51:40.759
<v Speaker 1>was going on behind the scenes. I didn't know any

0:51:40.800 --> 0:51:42.879
<v Speaker 1>of that, and I'm apault. So I expect a wave

0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:45.439
<v Speaker 1>of that too when the documentary comes out. Well, yeah,

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:48.759
<v Speaker 1>well you can't. They can't. They just can't say that

0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he was in jail in the early two thousand's, you know,

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:58.719
<v Speaker 1>it was it was obvious what he was doing. I mean, yeah,

0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:01.960
<v Speaker 1>this has excellent vibes all over. I mean the other thing,

0:52:02.200 --> 0:52:03.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's the same thing as what Dmitri is saying.

0:52:03.920 --> 0:52:05.360
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like when people try to say, can you

0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:11.239
<v Speaker 1>separate the art from the artist? Where you know, it's

0:52:11.280 --> 0:52:13.759
<v Speaker 1>like all these people who occurred, and like, can you

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:17.440
<v Speaker 1>separate Harvey Weinstein from all the amazing films he produced?

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Can you separate? And I think it's once you know

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the charges, and if you have eyeballs and you've been

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 1>hanging out for a while, you have to know. There's

0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.400
<v Speaker 1>no way you can't know. You know, it's just someone

0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:32.160
<v Speaker 1>turning a blind die. I mean, they knew. I mean.

0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:34.400
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is that this is feeling very reminiscent

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of Hugh Hefner and the Playboy enterprises. You know. The

0:52:39.000 --> 0:52:41.319
<v Speaker 1>only difference I would say from what I'm hearing is

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't as violent. It's exact from what we

0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:49.680
<v Speaker 1>from what we've heard, you know, they think the violence

0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:53.120
<v Speaker 1>is really what separates them. And of course you never

0:52:54.360 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was charged and ran to Mexico. Um, you know, do

0:52:58.080 --> 0:52:59.919
<v Speaker 1>you think that do you think that there's any store

0:53:00.160 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of connection between Girls Gotten Wild and Playboy in that regard, Well,

0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know too much about Playboy, but it seems

0:53:07.400 --> 0:53:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that it was a much more honest enterprise. I guess,

0:53:10.680 --> 0:53:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, people were paid, weren't they knew what they

0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:22.040
<v Speaker 1>were doing, they weren't underage, um, so it was it

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was more it was more transparent and more open, whereas

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.640
<v Speaker 1>this just this was just this was just kind of

0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.960
<v Speaker 1>like it was not what it seemed at all. That

0:53:39.080 --> 0:53:41.880
<v Speaker 1>was not it was not what it seemed. There was

0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:46.319
<v Speaker 1>no integrity there, there was no sense of, you know,

0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to pay these people properly. They know what

0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>they're doing, they're signing contracts, they know they there's informed consent.

0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:56.640
<v Speaker 1>This is so dark. This is like, this is like

0:53:56.920 --> 0:53:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy like Hugh Hefton, And I'm not justifying anything

0:53:59.520 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he did, because we talked about his those exploits recently

0:54:02.560 --> 0:54:04.879
<v Speaker 1>on episode two. But this is kind of like Joe

0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Francis was just a guy that had came into money

0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and didn't didn't give a ship and didn't care no repercussions,

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, you have to went about it

0:54:15.120 --> 0:54:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a different way. And again I'm not justifying what he did.

0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:20.840
<v Speaker 1>But Joe Francis just took didn't even take the precautions

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to make it look like a legitimate thing. He you know,

0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:25.879
<v Speaker 1>he well, like you said, force people to sign things

0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:29.080
<v Speaker 1>when they were drunk and this and that. He didn't

0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:31.760
<v Speaker 1>pay him, and so it just seemed like he just thought, oh, Okay,

0:54:31.760 --> 0:54:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I got this thing going, I'm just gonna And I

0:54:33.320 --> 0:54:35.200
<v Speaker 1>imagine as the money came in and the celebrities hung

0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:39.040
<v Speaker 1>out with him, he probably felt more and more invincible. Yeah.

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's right. I mean, he's he's just some

0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of the that just he just has to win. And

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you see it over and over again that you're either

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're either with him or you're against him.

0:54:51.000 --> 0:54:55.040
<v Speaker 1>So he would just turn against anybody that the people

0:54:55.040 --> 0:54:58.560
<v Speaker 1>who had been friends who disagreed with him with him,

0:54:58.560 --> 0:55:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and he would just turn against and immediately and he

0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:04.080
<v Speaker 1>just and he just had to win. And that's why

0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he lost a lot of money at the end um

0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:09.400
<v Speaker 1>of his time in the in the in the States,

0:55:09.480 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 1>because he just got into this battle with Steve Win

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:15.879
<v Speaker 1>which was ridiculous, and he ended up losing I think

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:23.319
<v Speaker 1>as much as fourty million, so he had I mean, yeah,

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, sorry, a little shot in freud up. But

0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's also interesting because forty million to someone

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:33.719
<v Speaker 1>who's making way more than that almost seems like a

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 1>drop in the butt when in the first two years

0:55:35.600 --> 0:55:37.239
<v Speaker 1>girl has gone wild and made more than twenty mail

0:55:37.719 --> 0:55:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and it was just in the first two years. It's like,

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:44.719
<v Speaker 1>how do you how how how do you get to

0:55:44.760 --> 0:55:49.800
<v Speaker 1>such a level of narcissism that that you go against

0:55:49.880 --> 0:55:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Steve could win in because because you're all this money

0:55:56.480 --> 0:56:00.879
<v Speaker 1>for doing nothing, for for for basically partying. His entire

0:56:00.960 --> 0:56:02.759
<v Speaker 1>life was a spring break and he's got hundreds of

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:04.879
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a roll again, So why wouldn't he think

0:56:04.880 --> 0:56:06.680
<v Speaker 1>that he can do anything in the world. That's that's insane,

0:56:07.080 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Endemitri Springburn does for everything. You know, we don't wanna

0:56:14.800 --> 0:56:17.600
<v Speaker 1>take up all your time because we could do this forever.

0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>But is there anything else that you would like to

0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 1>share about the documentary or about Joe Francis or anyone

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:26.839
<v Speaker 1>related to the documentary that you think our listeners. Um,

0:56:27.360 --> 0:56:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I just I hope that the documentary um just gives

0:56:34.080 --> 0:56:39.280
<v Speaker 1>courage to the victims of other abuses, ready to stand

0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:41.799
<v Speaker 1>up and be and be counted, and that as a

0:56:41.840 --> 0:56:45.799
<v Speaker 1>society that we will will listen victims of abuse, and

0:56:45.920 --> 0:56:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, however famous or rich these guys are,

0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:54.960
<v Speaker 1>it's really important, isn't it that we um that we

0:56:55.080 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 1>keep our eyes open for for abuse, And is that

0:57:01.080 --> 0:57:06.279
<v Speaker 1>celebrities take responsibility who they're friends with because it's their

0:57:06.440 --> 0:57:12.120
<v Speaker 1>endorsements that allow these guys to get away with it. Yeah. Um,

0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I say, here, here's my pitch. I think we had

0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a dog to Bounty on the wrong one episode and

0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:19.080
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about Brian Landry at the time, and we

0:57:19.080 --> 0:57:20.800
<v Speaker 1>weren't sure if he was in Mexico, and he was like,

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the FEDS can't go down to Mexico. He goes I can.

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 1>So here's my pitch. Keep the cameras rolling, Let's talk

0:57:25.880 --> 0:57:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to Dog and let's send him down there and drag

0:57:27.480 --> 0:57:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe Francis aspect to the US. And he is a

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:35.000
<v Speaker 1>great cloud, great brilliant idea. Yeah, this is the case

0:57:35.040 --> 0:57:38.479
<v Speaker 1>for Dog. Okay, Well, Katinka, we can watch Girls Gone

0:57:38.480 --> 0:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Wild Exposed on June thirteen, that's Monday, June thirteen on

0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 1>t n T. We'll be tuning in. I can't wait

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to watch. After speaking with you and watching the trailer,

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I am I don't think excited is the right word,

0:57:53.760 --> 0:57:57.320
<v Speaker 1>but I'm so intrigued about learning more about this case.

0:57:58.160 --> 0:58:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you guys are in Mexico, keep an eye

0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:02.960
<v Speaker 1>peeled for Joe Francis and don't give him your forty

0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:04.840
<v Speaker 1>k and night to stay at a villa. There other

0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:07.440
<v Speaker 1>villas in Mexico. You don't need to stay at his.

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Good Poka, Tanka, it has been wonderful chatting with you.

0:58:12.400 --> 0:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for your time today. We appreciate

0:58:14.280 --> 0:58:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you something and thank you so much. Have a great

0:58:16.840 --> 0:58:33.880
<v Speaker 1>evening to thank you too, Tinka. Well, she was. I mean,

0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:43.960
<v Speaker 1>her job, and I mean it's weird to think of

0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:46.040
<v Speaker 1>someone the type of person that you need to make

0:58:46.080 --> 0:58:49.520
<v Speaker 1>something like that right. In order to expose someone for

0:58:49.600 --> 0:58:51.640
<v Speaker 1>being a douche bag, you have to have someone that's

0:58:51.680 --> 0:58:55.360
<v Speaker 1>really good and wants to call that stuff out. Absolutely.

0:58:56.040 --> 0:59:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think, sorry, are we gonna Uh? I'm like, what

0:59:02.520 --> 0:59:04.040
<v Speaker 1>order are we in? I think we're doing. I think

0:59:04.040 --> 0:59:05.440
<v Speaker 1>we're just tagging it now and then we can go

0:59:05.480 --> 0:59:08.480
