00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: Awesome? Okay, So remember that time, Matt uh as a

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: period you and I were hanging out and I got

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: super weirdly into competitive eating.

20
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: I remember your your talks about the Black Widow specifically.

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, you remember. So we have to bid

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: a fond farewell to one of the best in the game.

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: This is breaking strange news that Hiro Kobyashi, a legendary

24
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: competitive eater, has retired because he no longer feels fullness

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: nor hunger. Oh, I know.

26
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: He this this is the guy. This is the one.

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the guy that people believed had a physiological

28
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to call it abnormality, but a physiological

29
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: difference that allowed his stomach to distend into other parts

30
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: of his body such that he could eat more than

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: a human should eat. And we got Dylan popping in.

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: I know you've got opinions on this, Tennessee.

33
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: It makes me sad.

34
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a lot of changes the last

35
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: few years and competitive eating between that and then Joey

36
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: Chestnut going for the vegan hot dogs and not being

37
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: able to be part of Nathan's. But I once saw

38
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: a video where Kobyashi ate like three gigantic bowls are

39
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: amen and then lifted up his shirt.

40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: Dude had a six pack?

41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: Crazy? What yeah?

42
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is he teaching his body to do?

43
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: He's You can check out the older YouTube explorations over

44
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: our pal. Kobyashi again one of the best in the game.

45
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: He will eat gigantic amounts of food and then be

46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: on a treadmill forever. And that's as that was his

47
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: whole day.

48
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Ben. According to the Yahoo Sports article you posted, he

49
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: is still the current record holder for rice balls twenty

50
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: pounds in half an hour.

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: Don't forget about the lobster rules.

52
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty one in ten minutes. And oh oh the

00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: Yeah the brains right, cow brains.

55
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Seventeen point seven pounds in fifteen minutes.

56
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: Oh that is more than a pound every sixty seconds. God,

57
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: this guy is just cool man, And you know, take

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: care of yourself, stay mentally physically fit. You have moved

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: beyond hunger and moved beyond fullness, Kobyashi, you will be remembered.

60
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: That is one of our That is the stuff we

61
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: had to establish before we got to Epstein, before we

62
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: got to freedom of speech, before we got to social media,

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: and the concept of one point two quintillion dollars, which

64
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: is apparently a real number.

65
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure it's a real number. Yeah, and you owe

66
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: it to us, So have fun.

67
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: What about this, guys, What if we take a quick

68
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: break for a word from our sponsors and then maybe

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about the Epstein news.

70
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: Yes, and we've returned Ben the Black Widow. Yes, real name,

71
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: Lee Sun Kyung or Sonya Thomas. Yes, that is the

72
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: person I most fondly remember you speaking of just about

73
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: how again insane it is that someone of just a

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: relatively small stature can just magically put that stuff away.

75
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

76
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I still, I'll say it on air. I'm

77
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: fine with it. I still think you should enter a

78
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: hot food contest. I would love to see you on

79
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: hot ones, Matt. I would love to see you it

80
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: in a more serious competition, you know what I mean.

81
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: I bet you could rock some Scovilles, my guy.

82
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: It's not about the competition, man, It's about going inside

83
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: and exploring yourself and finding that that inner fire. I

84
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: don't need competition for that. I could do that on

85
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: my own.

86
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: Great, that's the promo, I say, we do it, no notes,

87
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: ten ten, Let's get you in there. Man. We also knew.

88
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of doing it on their own. Let's chill to

89
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: the UK. Oh yeah, who's actually tried to prosecute people

90
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: for the Epstein files? What people should get prosecuted? You say,

91
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: United Kingdom? Okay? Why? How well? This is this is

92
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: a brand new News Again. Recording on February twentieth, twenty

93
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: twenty six. This is us the live feed that The

94
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: Guardian does often for a big news story. You can

Speaker 2: look it up right now. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor arrested King

Speaker 2: Charles says law must take its course as ex prints

97
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: taken into custody live you could find this, it's really cool,

98
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: a bunch of live updates. Yeah, thank you for sharing this.

99
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: Look at that.

100
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: It's it's for us. This is an audio podcast. Check

101
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: out our video episodes on Netflix, but for us. Just

102
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: so you know, there is an unfortunate picture Prince Andrew

103
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: in the Guardian that you that you linked here, Matt,

104
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: could you.

105
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: To see it? Yeah, Dylan, why don't you describe it?

106
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Dylan?

107
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: Could you describe how Andy is looking at this one?

108
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: Well?

109
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: I think one of the things that makes it is

110
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: the red eye from the flash looks like a man

111
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: whose problems have finally finally caught up with him.

112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: Yep, just leaned back as he's being driven around in

113
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: some ridiculously fancy vehicle, and he's got his hands up

114
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: almost almost steepling close to it, maybe just clasping.

115
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 3: He's edging towards steepling for sure, mister Burns. Yeah, yeah,

116
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: and also the red flash in the right eye, the

117
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: look of surprise very much a candid photo. The red

118
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: flash might be due to possibly an ocular implant. Who

119
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: are we We can say this guy definitely just got arrested, right.

120
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: Yes, so we're recording on Friday. He was arrested on

121
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office by police

122
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: who are investigating the Prince's dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. The

123
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: police had been assessing. This is reading directly from the

124
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: Guardian's updates here. The police have been assessing allegations that

125
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: at Prince, former Prince Andrew had shared sensitive information with

126
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: Epstein while he was a UK trade envoy. They come

127
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: from the documents that were released in the US through

128
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: the should we call it a quote investigation that the

129
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: Department of Justice is doing.

130
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: Let's call it the concept of an investigation, ah.

131
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: The idea of a conset of theiation everyone, Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure,

132
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: But this is really happening a person that is, for

133
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: all intents and purposes, and as we've talked about on

134
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: the show before, in some ways above the law, because

135
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: you have to have a willingness to prosecute someone, especially

136
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 2: like royalty or someone who's in the upper echelons of

137
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: government or a corporation. It's that white collar crime kind

138
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: of thing that we've talked about many times on this show.

139
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: You have to have the willingness to do it because

140
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: it could affect you if you're in a lower level position,

141
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: even if you're in Law and Force or the Justice Department,

142
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: you can get affected by folks in that echelon.

143
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: It's also interesting to any student of history that the

144
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: disclosure of sensitive government information is what finally triggered the

145
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: arrest right its it reminds a lot of us of

146
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: the I mean, you guys remember the time when al

147
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: Capone went down not for organized crime, but for tax evasion.

148
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: You can get people on the money. So it appears

149
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: that the UK government obviously is aware of the accusations

150
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: against the Andy, but I don't respect him enough to

151
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: call him a prince. But they they're aware of the accusations, right,

152
00:09:52,960 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: of this terrible sexual atrocities, but they're getting him. We're

153
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: disclosing non sexual information as a trade envoy.

154
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff that could be really useful to make lots

155
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: of money if you already have lots of money, right,

156
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: there's some really you know, there's some strong statements coming

157
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: out from everywhere, including from the King, literally the king,

158
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: the real the actual king, the one that is standing

159
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: as a king.

160
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the one guy on the planet who

161
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: doesn't have to have a passport.

162
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just cause I'm the king. Let me in.

163
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Did's your boy? Oh? Yeah?

164
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: But also messages from like Virginia Geoffrey's family, right, who

165
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: is one of the primary people that came forward with

166
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: the allegations and with the information, just saying that no

167
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: one is about the law and we can actually see

168
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: that this is this kind of action taking against someone

169
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: like this shows everybody else that these folks aren't untouchable,

170
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: except you know, if you maybe look towards the people

171
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: in the United States who have been accused in raft

172
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: up and a lot of this stuff, and you know,

173
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: have been shown on let's say powerpoints that the FBI

174
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: put together as primary contributors to the trafficking ring. There

175
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: was somebody on the top of a PowerPoint that I

176
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: saw recently, and I think he might be the standing

177
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: president of the United States. Weird. There's this other thing

178
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: that's going on just with the former Prince Andrew's stuff.

179
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: His homes are being searched. And again, this is the

180
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing, at least in America, when you hear

181
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: about someone like, oh, I don't know his actual name,

182
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: puff Puff Daddy, Shawn Combs, Shawn Combs, When Shawn Combs,

183
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: somebody who is that well known and seemingly that powerful,

184
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: when they have their homes searched, it is it is

185
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: such a big deal because it's not it's in some

186
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: weird way not supposed to happen because of kind of

187
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: the corruption that exists in a lot of places. To

188
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: see it occur, I think is just super notable.

189
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: Also hopefully good news. We have to be clear, these

190
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: investigations and these searches of Andy's home, right are they're

191
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: pretty massive. They're going to be pretty in depth because

192
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: this guy is the definition of upper crust. He has

193
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: one of his homes has thirty rooms. This is not

194
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: going in and doing a kick door on a studio

195
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: apartment or a shotgun house. There's a lot of stuff

196
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: in there.

197
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: Right, and send up shop for a while.

198
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Yeah, we're gonna have to spend some time

199
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: on this one. And again, it's just it's so curious

200
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: to me that this person has done evil things or

201
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: definitely peers to have done evil things to vulnerable people,

202
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: and did not get in trouble until there was another

203
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: accusation against him. So at least our European friends are

204
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: holding people accountable in some way. Maybe. Yeah, I'm on

205
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: record with some strident opinions about how ridiculous the idea

206
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: of a royal family is, and I'm not backing down

207
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: from him. I'm sorry, British friends. It's weird. It's a

208
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: weird tribal system and as Matt said, no one should

209
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: be above the law.

210
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: Completely agree. Let's jump really quickly to AP News just

211
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: so you can look that up if you like. Police

212
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: search former Prince Andrew's home a day after his arrest.

213
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: That is talking about the search of the Royal Lodge,

214
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: which is the thirty room home that you're mentioning there, Ben,

215
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: but a couple other places too. They're also searching another

216
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: place where he is currently living. I guess you say.

217
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: This, oh, Sandrin Haddon, Yes, or as we Americans would say, Sandringham, Sure,

218
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 3: Sandra Ham mistake the private retreat of King Charles the Third.

219
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: This is about one hundred and eighty five clicks north

220
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: of London, so it's in the middle of nowhere.

221
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: So weird. He's waiting for another place called wood Farm

222
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: where he no wait wood for wood Farm is where

223
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: he is currently living. Yeah, and they searched that place already,

224
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: but he's waiting for another place, Marsh Farm, to be

225
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: ready so we can move into Marsh Farm.

226
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: But also, what does that mean. I'm here at the

227
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: other farm and I'm waiting for the help to make

228
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: marsh Farm prepared.

229
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: Think about that downgrade though, from the Royal Lodge to

230
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: the wood Farm now to the Marsh.

231
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: Ooh, probably a statement. Definitely. British journalists are going to

232
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: be reading some tea leaves over that. Do you think

233
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: he's going to go to jail?

234
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: I I something tells me no. But again, that's just

235
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: that's what I've learned over the course of my forty

236
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: some years on this planet. People like that just don't

237
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: go to jail. But we have seen a few of them,

238
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: and so maybe maybe it could happen. He did spend

239
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: eleven hours in custody and that was just you know,

240
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: he's getting I guess interrogated. I wish he could have

241
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: heard our How to Resist Interrogation episode poor guy in time,

242
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: we didn't.

243
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: You know, we got to work on our publishing strategy.

244
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: But also we've got to exercise empathy for those poor

245
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: knuckleheads who had to arrest a member of one of

246
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: the most dangerous organized crime syndicates in all of human history.

247
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: And now you have to Now you have to, like,

248
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: ask that guy if you want some tea, you have

249
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: to try to kick it with him real quick and

250
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: befriend him. It's not going to happen.

251
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: Are we talking about the Epstein organization or the other one?

252
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: Oh, the Royal Family?

253
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, okay, okay, oh.

254
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to be clear, just dangerous organized prime syndicate

255
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: historically speaking.

256
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: That is weird to think about.

257
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: Ben not saying the current We have not met the

258
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: current members, but they get a jacket, they have a

259
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: track record. You don't so eleven hours in custody. But

260
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: you right now are a bit skeptical of the idea

261
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: of this guy being incarcerated over a long period of time.

262
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: Well, according to the authorities, he's still under investigation. He's

263
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: just released as of this moment, right and they're still

264
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: searchings properties, they're still looking into other stuff. I'm assuming

265
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: and his counterparts within the Epstein organization. And perhaps the

266
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: most important aspect of all of this, and the reason

267
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: why maybe he will go to jail, is because well, well,

268
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: let's talk about it, Ben. A UN body has come

269
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 2: forward and has stated that they believe information that's come

270
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: out through the Epstein Files release may meet the definition

271
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: of crimes against humanity, which is, as we know, a

272
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: whole other level of actions that can be taken against

273
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: people persons who commit crimes against humanity. It's a whole

274
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: other thing, right, And if you want to read about this,

275
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: you can head over to Al Jazeer if you want

276
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: to title is UN panel says Epstein abuses may constitute

277
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 2: crimes against humanity, And if you want to read the

278
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: entire thing, you can search for flawed Epstein Files disclosures

279
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: undermine accountability for grave crimes against women and girls UN experts.

280
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: This is like a PR piece that was put out

281
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: on the sixteenth of February and it just goes into

282
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: I guess I can read some of it from the

283
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: al jazer article, so we get an understanding. It says

284
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, the independent experts appointed by the UN Human

285
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: Rights Council release a statement in response to the millions

286
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 2: of files released by the US government related to Epstein,

287
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: It says, so grave is the scale, nature, systematic character,

288
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 2: and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls,

289
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal

290
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: threshold of crimes against humanity. And just continuing the quote there,

291
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: all the allegations contained in the Epstein files are egregious

292
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as

293
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have

294
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: taken place for so long.

295
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said, we will see if those words result

296
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 3: in actions. We'd also like to share with you, folks,

297
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 3: response from the standing President Donald Trump asked board Air

298
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 3: Force one about Andy's arrest. He describes it as a

299
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: shame and a very sad thing. He fully says, we'll

300
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: give you a quote here. We're not going to do

301
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: the voice quote. I think it's very sad. I think

302
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: it's so bad for the royal family. It's very very

303
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: sad to me. It's a very sad thing. King Charles

304
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: is obviously coming to our country very soon. He's a

305
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: fantastic man, he went on to say. And this is

306
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: the omami, folks, He went on to say, quote, it's

307
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: really interesting because nobody used to speak about Epstein when

308
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: he was alive, but now they speak. But I'm the

309
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: one that can talk about it because I have been

310
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: totally exonerated. I did nothing. End quote your post. Oh

311
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: I mean come on, wow, Yeah, yeah, that's that's what

312
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: he said. We also understand that, uh, the Royal family

313
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: officially did not get word in advance of this arrest.

314
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just happened. Yeah, yeah, what's telling. That's pretty telling.

315
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: I think they didn't give a heads up. I don't know.

316
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: I think they got a heads up and just decided.

317
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: To say they didn't, right.

318
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a weird tribal system.

319
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sorry, Sir King Charles or whatever they call him,

320
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: we got to go after your brother. Man. He's like

321
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: it's really bad. He's like, ah fine, Yeah. King Charles

322
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: put out a statement that said, like, we're gonna the

323
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: law must be going forward. And it does sadden me

324
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: and it's terrible, but I gotta do it.

325
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: I wonder about Andy's social media presence just at look.

326
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: We are going to do an episode on the Epstein

327
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 3: Files revelations. Folks. We hope you tune in. It's not

328
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 3: going to be appropriate for all listeners, just to be honest,

329
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: but it does pull in so many existing threads of conspiracy.

330
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 3: And again, maybe this is the most important point. Just

331
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: at the risk of sounding like a broken record, this

332
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: guy did not get arrested for sexual crimes. He's currently

333
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: been arrested and is currently being investigated for tradecraft for

334
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: insider information, for saying like, hey, you're into cobalt, right,

335
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 3: you might want to invest in this mine in Afghanistan

336
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: or something like that. That's what he's getting in trouble for,

337
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: not the other unclean stuff. Yep.

338
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: And just to the point of nobody was talking about

339
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: scene before he did he say before he died, that's

340
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: what you said. Just to remind people, if you go

341
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: back in our feeds, look to January twenty nineteen in

342
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: our first episode how Jeffrey Epstein Broke the law and

343
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: got away. And that's to point out two things. We

344
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: didn't make episodes prior to that. And we've been around

345
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: since what two thousand and nine, two eight thousand and nine,

346
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: like early early, we didn't make an episode before that,

347
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: and that's because there wasn't enough information out in the

348
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: public to really even make an episode the way we

349
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: do with research and you know, doing these episodes the

350
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: way we do them. But we did make one in January,

351
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: and we noticed that it wasn't that popular an episode

352
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: at first. I don't know if you remember this, Ben,

353
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: just people didn't know much about it.

354
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Well that's our remit. You know, it can't

355
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: always be fun, affectionate goodbyes to the world's best competitive eaters.

356
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes we do have to get in the trenches and

357
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: report on the stuff they don't want you to know.

358
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: And luckily, for now in the United States, we are

359
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: able to do so. We're able to say all of

360
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: our dumb ideas and weird invented catchphrases all the live

361
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: long day for now. Unfortunately, as we're gonna mention, I

362
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: think after the break, that may not be the case forever.

363
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: Matt Dylan, our pal Steve isn't saving anything for this.

364
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: Swim back you mean, mister Colbare.

365
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

366
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: And we've returned. Now, we're not going to spend a

367
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: lot of time on this because if you look at

368
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 2: the YouTube numbers, you can tell that a lot of

369
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: people are paying attention to what's going on with Stephen

370
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: Colbert and all the other late night hosts happening right now.

371
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: You can just see how many people are glued to

372
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: their small screens to check that stuff out. Now, we

373
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: have no numbers on let's say, the broadcast data for

374
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: how many people watch CBS or NBC or whatever whichever

375
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: channel late at night. Sure, but like the broadcast numbers,

376
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: we don't have. But we can see through these social

377
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: media sites and other alternative platforms where their content gets posted,

378
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: and it appears that if you, let's say, let's say,

379
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: as the FCC for example, okay, for some reason strong

380
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: arms in one way or another, one of these late

381
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: night hosts, let's say, is Stephen Colbert into or at

382
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: least the organization that owns Stephen Colbert's show, You can

383
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: strong on our them into not having a specific person

384
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: on for an interview. So then that late night host assides, well,

385
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: we'll just put it up on our social media channel instead.

386
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: You could see the effect. The effect is if the

387
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: FCC says no, you can't do something, everybody else, a

388
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: lot of other people on this planet say we need

389
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: to see that thing that you don't want us to see.

390
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: We call it the streisand effect, right, that's it. It's

391
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: an ancient internet lore. At this point, Yes, per Steve,

392
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: his top brass over at CBS, said that he should

393
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: not interview an up and coming politician from Texas named

394
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: James Talarrico. Steve is already going to leave the show.

395
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: He's been wet beefed for a while, and so he

396
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: is again quoting Gatige here, he's not saving any thing

397
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: for the swim back. And as soon as these folks said, hey,

398
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: you can't talk to this guy, he said, hey, also,

399
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: I'm leaving later. I don't care. I'm not even mad.

400
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: I'm going to do what I watch.

401
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: He had a thing and I watched it, and yeah,

402
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: at least in the first I don't even know what

403
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: day it was, honestly that it came out. I just

404
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: see it when it shows up on YouTube like most

405
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: other people. I'm assuming he he threw in I guess

406
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: a promo for another CBS show at some point, but

407
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: he was like, watch it or don't. I'm gone in May.

408
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, I saw that too, and also CBS said that.

409
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: CBS responded, they said, we did not prohibit the Late

410
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: Show from airing this interview. Instead, our our legal boffins

411
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: talked about the what we call the equal time rule

412
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: the FCCS as this thing where you know, if you

413
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: have the if you have Dylan Tennessee Paal Fagan from

414
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: the Rude Bega Party speaking about the joys of rude vegas,

415
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: then in the interest of that equal time, then you've

416
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: got to have Noel, the severely anti rude bega person Brown.

417
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: You got to have that guy on to talk about

418
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: why he thinks rude begas are terrible, you know. And

419
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: we've asked both of them about this off air, yes, well.

420
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: And the concept there appears to be noble in one aspect,

421
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: the idea that you can't have an organization broadcast specifically

422
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: broadcast organization that runs either broadcast television or radio. You

423
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: can't have a single host or a company one of

424
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 2: those broadcast organizations come forward and only support let's say

425
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: the Democratic side, sure, you know, the Democratic Party, and

426
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: only have on people who want to talk positive about that,

427
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: and then completely not get the other perspective that is

428
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: kind of noble and cool, and the idea that we

429
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: would have multiple perspectives on one of these one of

430
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: these shows that makes sense. It is getting weird and

431
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 2: Sema Colbert talked about is on the show. It is

432
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: different when you get into cable, you get into social media,

433
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: you get into even late night shows, because late night

434
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: talk shows have kind of not had that same kind

435
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: of rule applied to them. And that goes back to

436
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: late night TV. Why you can get away with other

437
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: stuff when it gets later in the day, at least

438
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: here in the United States, rather than show stuff on

439
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: daytime TV.

440
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a great point we see. I

441
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: want to step back and respond to that. So we

442
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: see the importance of something like equal time in older media,

443
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: especially because there are authoritarian regimes that will crush descent.

444
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: It's the old joke from the Soviet era. Someone says,

445
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: how are things in Saint Petersburg and the other guy says,

446
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: I can't complain, that's the uh, it's funnier in Russian.

447
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: But the issue is that with this idea of equal time,

448
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 3: we're also seeing an entry point into eroding the truth,

449
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: eroding factual statements. So if, for instance, I, as a

450
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: pro round earther, go on a show, does that mean

451
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: that we must also have a guy who believes the

452
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: Earth is case of da shaped come on right after

453
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: or show up with me like we we say, ah,

454
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: you know, we jibbo we jibb. But at the end

455
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: there's a mutual respect and no, there's not. The earth

456
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: is not round, so how do we make space for that?

457
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: The issue is that the legislation has yet to catch

458
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: up with the new means of communication. So your algorithm

459
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: on any social media platform, folks, it is not practicing

460
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: equal time. It is increasingly bubbling you into this Matroshka

461
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: doll of weirder and weirder. Beat me here, Dylan weirder, weirder.

462
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: And it's not meant to educate you. It's meant to

463
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: push you to buy a thing or to exhibit a

464
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: certain behavior. With that being said, we're huge fans of Steve.

465
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: He's doing the right thing. I don't know, man, do

466
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: you think the late night show model is on the

467
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: way out as broadcast sort of declines?

468
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not an expert on that, but I know

469
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: the money. The money isn't there for the broadcast side

470
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: as much anymore. I would just say somebody like a

471
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert will be just fine without a broadcast show,

472
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: And he was just fine on his cable program for

473
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: a long time, and I think anybody who's at that caliber,

474
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: no matter where they are, right, no matter what outlet

475
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: or platform, they're going to be just fine. Yeah, I

476
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: do want to. I'm looking at it's so funny to

477
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: read this from CBS News. So it's about CBS and

478
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: the parent organization of CBS and actions taken because of

479
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: statements that were put out by the FCC, but then

480
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: CBS reporting on it saying I'm just gonna read this.

481
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: In a statement to CBS News on Wednesday, that is

482
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: just a few days before we're recording here, White House

483
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: spokesman Davis Ingele called Colbert quote a pathetic train wreck

484
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: with no talent and terrible ratings, which is exactly why

485
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: CBS canceled his show and is booting him off the

486
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: airwaves unquote. To hear that as the response, right, or

487
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: as an official statement from an administration, Yeah, and I know,

488
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: I know we've heard worse from the standing potus himself

489
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: and from other you know, people in there and spokespeople.

490
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: It is just.

491
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: It's so weird. I don't know how you can have

492
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: that opinion. I don't know how you can hold that opinion. Uh,

493
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: genuinely right.

494
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the performative aspect of it, the WWE raw trash

495
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: talking kind of, there's definitely theater at play. And speaking

496
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: of theater, speaking of statements from the administration, Oh yeah,

497
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: we got to break the news, folks. Maybe it's finally

498
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: happening Tennessee. Can you give us like a fire alarm

499
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: kind of thing or some like defcom warning, perfect, I'm scared, perfect, Well,

500
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: it's definitely happening. Per the current US President Donald Trump.

501
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: He went on a social media platform called truth Social

502
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: and officially ordered leaders of multiple US government agencies to

503
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 3: quote begin the process of identifying and releasing end quote

504
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: government files on UAPs and UFOs. So literally any other

505
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: files but the Epstein files.

506
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait.

507
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: And here's why. Here's why I was. I think I

508
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: was talking to you guys about this off air. Unfortunately

509
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: I had to miss our last listener mail segment. But

510
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: he I think he's directly responding to the statements by

511
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: former President Barack Obama. Oh yeah, the Neil deGrasse Tyson

512
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: answer about aliens, and then it got memified and it

513
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: went viral and people didn't listen to the context. I

514
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 3: think that's what the current president is reacting to because

515
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: many hates that guy.

516
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, oh man, I had a I had

517
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: this up on my phone earlier today and the statement

518
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 2: that I saw was directly well, I saw a President

519
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: Obama talked about it, and people really seem to like that.

520
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 2: So hey, I want to be liked. So hey, let's

521
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: release these files, which you know, it's just it's just sad, man,

522
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: but you know that's okay. Here here's the weird thing. Yeah,

523
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 2: it would be amazing if this kind of order could

524
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: actually come forward and we could actually get the real

525
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: what do we call the straight poop on the UAPs,

526
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: that would be incredible. I don't know that the president

527
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: has the power to declassify the Special Access Program documents

528
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: and things like that, but maybe he does not.

529
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: Really, not really, Sorry, Americans don't like to hear it,

530
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 3: but we have to say it. The commander in chief,

531
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: the president, as a role has is not a superhero,

532
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: does not function as a king. Now, if we were

533
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: say King Charles the third right and it was say

534
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 3: the fourteen hundreds, that we could do whatever wild stuff

535
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 3: we wanted, no one would check us until they killed

536
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: us and a revolution occurred.

537
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait, can King Charles do the same thing

538
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: for the UK's UAP files.

539
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: I imagine historically the royal family prefers not to be

540
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: read on certain things.

541
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: Well they can't. They don't want to be exposed, right,

542
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 2: Reptilian thing I get?

543
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay warm.

544
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: Just kidding, I'm kidding.

545
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm kidding, all right, Matt skidding. So no, they're they're

546
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 3: a human. I'm sure, dude.

547
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: I was thinking, bet. I was thinking about that again

548
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 2: today because, uh, Camille don Gianni beloved comedian and people

549
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: made fun of for some reason for getting in shape. Uh,

550
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: he's he. I was watching some things. I think he

551
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: has a new special out and he just put it

552
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: on Instagram and it's just one of those thoughts he had.

553
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: You could tell on his notes app that he's reading

554
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 2: on stage and he and I don't want to retell

555
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: in any of his jokes, and I would recommend you

556
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: go look it up. But he just made the observation

557
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: that only Caucasian people, white people get the different hair

558
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: colors and the different eye colors, and he's like everybody

559
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: else gets the exact same one, and what's going on there?

560
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: And he's he's making jokes about it. But then the

561
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: more and more I'm thinking about it, I'm going, oh, crap,

562
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: I maybe maybe it's maybe we're really the bad hybrids.

563
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 3: At least theanital at least the sciences in on that one. Look,

564
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 3: I am torn about the sincerity of any disclosure proposal.

565
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: To be quite honest, it feels very jam tomorrow, jam yesterday,

566
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 3: never ever jammed today.

567
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: It.

568
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 3: We have, we have had conversations, interview segments with very storied,

569
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: very motivated, very brilliant people who are convinced that there

570
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: is something out there and that thing will be revealed,

571
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: and I hope they are correct. Again, please check out

572
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: our interviews with folks like Jeremy Corbell, you know, just

573
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: a phenomenal documentarian. We also, I just feel like it

574
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: gets weaponized.

575
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, well it's confusing as hell. I'm gonna

576
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 2: keep saying this. I'm still rewatching the X Files in

577
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: season five. Now, if you rewatch this whole thing, Uh,

578
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: it goes back to the like double and triple bluff concept, right,

579
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 2: Like there's the UAP thing or the UFO thing to

580
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 2: cover up the actual military industrial complex like darpest stuff,

581
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 2: but then that stuff is used to cover up the

582
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: actual yeah, uin' the UFO encounter and all that, and

583
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: just like trying to figure out which side of the

584
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: coin we are flipping too and which one is the

585
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: real one. I don't even know how we can get

586
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: through all of.

587
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: That stuff at this point, right, the post truth environment

588
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: some have called it. We would we would love to

589
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: hear your thoughts, especially if you are an extra terrestrial.

590
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: Uh would be that'd be amazing? Right?

591
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, some of the if some of this stuff

592
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: is real, then theoretically you can probably hear this or

593
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 5: somehow translate this or just receive the energy and pull

594
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 5: what you need to out of it and know, we

595
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 5: want to know, and.

596
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: Is it is there anything we can do?

597
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're here in peace. To be clear. Okay, if

598
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: you are listening and this is your first time hearing

599
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: things from Earth, we are not the top brass. Should

600
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: be clear. We would love to meet you. We just

601
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: want to learn more, and if you have some ideas

602
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 3: on how we can help you out, just pitch him.

603
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: You know we're approachable.

604
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: Please, please, we'll just reach a little more of a

605
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: harmonious existence on this planet. That would be cool, and

606
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: please don't terraform it. And just take over that. That's

607
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: not nice.

608
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: Here's a dune thing. Good friend of the show, our pal,

609
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: Michael Render aka Killer Mike, asked a great question a

610
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: while back. He said, why don't we have more black

611
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: voices in the disclosure movement? Why don't we have more

612
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: non white people on the History Channel talking about aliens?

613
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: So that's a good question.

614
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: I think we're going to work on. I think Mike

615
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: is going to work on a UFO.

616
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 2: Feature film, Oh no way called jordans Man. That will

617
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: be Oh Ben, can you tell us a little bit

618
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: about that and how to find it because you've recently

619
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 2: went on conversa.

620
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah. Conversation with Killer Mike is a wide

621
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: ranging show by the legendary activist and musician. He's spoken

622
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: with a lot of people. His right hand man is

623
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: a friend of ours, Ramsey Yount. Just absolute dream team there.

624
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 3: If you want to check out some of the recent

625
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: conversations on Conversy, we can't recommend and highly enough the

626
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: conversation with Payne Lenzi, who is also appearing or reappearing.

627
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: He's a bro of ours. He's reappearing on stuff they

628
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: don't want you to know. In an interview very soon

629
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 3: about season two of his show, High Strange fell into

630
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: newscaster voice. But no, High Strange is awesome obviously, Matt.

631
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 3: I think you. Dylan and I had just a fantastic

632
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: time when we hung out with Mike earlier. So hopefully

633
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 3: folting tune in and catch my pal Matt Frederick up

634
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 3: on conversate in the near future, assuming.

635
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: They called me and asked me to do it, assuming

636
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: your schedule.

637
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: Also assuming that we don't get in trouble for our

638
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: social media footprint, Matt, what should we take a break

639
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: for a word from our sponsors and then real quick

640
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 3: talk about a bummer thing on social media? Is that quat? Yeah?

641
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: And some good news and.

642
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 3: Some good news, yes, always a little bit of sugar

643
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 3: with the poison. And we have returned now, as you know,

644
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: longtime fellow conspiracy realist, longtime constant listeners. We've been talking

645
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: a lot about ridiculous names like homeland security. We've also

646
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 3: been talking about the dangers posed by new technology and

647
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: outdated legislation. Right now, as we're recording, the news is out.

648
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: Social media sites are being asked to or being subpoenat.

649
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 3: In some cases, they're being asked to report quote anti

650
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 3: ICE accounts?

651
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does that mean?

652
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: That's the issue, right, because does that mean you put

653
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 3: a funny meme about maybe someone who works for ice

654
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 3: slipping and falling, just classic three Stooges physical comedy, and

655
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: then that gets called anti ice. Homeland Security has sent Google,

656
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 3: Meta and other companies in that sphere hundreds of subpoenas

657
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: for further information on accounts that comment or track or

658
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: remark upon Immigration and Customs enforcement or ICE. We've got

659
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: a great article about this that came to us via

660
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: The New York Times by Shira Frankel and Mike Isaac.

661
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 3: It's worth a read. I don't know, man' We are

662
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: so fortunate to have grown up before every kid ended

663
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 3: up being on social media.

664
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah, I would agree. I can't read this article, Ben,

665
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: because I don't have access to the New York Times.

666
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 3: But ah yeah, New York Times and paywalls. Do they

667
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: support journalism or do they endanger it? Well?

668
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: It sucks. I mean, I imagine all the people that want

669
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: to read this, and they're I just I cannot afford

670
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 2: you New York Times because right you're the next thousandth

671
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: subscription I have to pay for.

672
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, yeah, the forest of subscription trees for sure.

673
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 3: Here's what's happening Google, Reddit, Discord Rip, by the way,

674
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 3: and Meta. They are getting these subpoenas that are asking

675
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: for identifying details on accounts. So let's say let's say Dylan,

676
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 3: not to pick on you, but let's say Dylan has

677
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 3: an account called pals Forever, and pals Forever is on Instagram,

678
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 3: and every so often pals Forever says, I don't think

679
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: ICE agents should shoot innocent civilians.

680
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: And then we identify Dylan and oh god, that's terrifying.

681
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: Identify and track. Some of these tech companies, they can

682
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 3: choose whether or not to provide this information, and they

683
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 3: have said that they always read the request carefully before

684
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: they decide whether or not they will comply. And in

685
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 3: some cases, they notify the people that are getting, you know, questions,

686
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: so they might say, hey, pals Forever, sorry, man, they're

687
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: jamming us up. They want to know a lot about you,

688
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 3: so just be careful with your emoji reacts for a minute.

689
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: This is uh, this weird stuff. We just talked about

690
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: DOGE and how much of our personal information as US

691
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: citizens was scooped up by that agency and then put

692
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: into a singular database. So at least that's alleged according

693
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: to some congressional oversight committees, it would be weird to

694
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: then match that stuff up with social accounts, right right.

695
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 3: And it'd be devilishly easy to do. So now we

696
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 3: do have a quote from Google, a response to the

697
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 3: New York Times here, and we're going to share this

698
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 3: with you, and please play the parkour along with us

699
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 3: and tell us what sticks out to you about this statement.

700
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: Here we go again. Quote. When we receive a subpoena,

701
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 3: our review process is designed to protect user privacy while

702
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: meeting our legal obligations. We inform users when their accounts

703
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: have been subpoenaed, unless under legal order not to or

704
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 3: in an exceptional circumstance. We review every legal demand and

705
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 3: push back against those that are overbroad.

706
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: Sorry I didn't huh huh.

707
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: And well that's the thing, okay, So everybody playing along

708
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 3: at home, you caught that little Shyamalan plot twist, right,

709
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 3: We inform you if you're being subpoena unless we are

710
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 3: told not to inform you. Pals forever.

711
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 2: You know, they're they're commissioning all these new detention centers

712
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to imagine how many, you know, folks

713
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: who are getting picked up by ice right now for

714
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: their purposes would actually go into those detention centers. Feels like,

715
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 2: if you build it and you spend you know, hundreds

716
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: of millions of dollars on them, you got to put

717
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: some people in there.

718
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm also going to make this a political point, and

719
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 3: we don't want to be too navel gaizy about it,

720
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 3: but just from a logical perspective, if the move is

721
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 3: to deport a ton of people, why build facilities to

722
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 3: hold a ton of people.

723
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, because the court's been the courts are all jammed up.

724
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 6: Oh okay, great, cool, Sure, No, I hear what you're saying.

725
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 6: But this looks like permanent housing.

726
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. Some feels off about it.

727
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: Interior motive.

728
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's tough because you go for and you make

729
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of statements about it, and then you get

730
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 2: flagged and then YouTube says or whoever says, I guess

731
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: we need to inform you guys.

732
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 3: And for the record, folks, we have never been mandated

733
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: not to talk about something, not to look into things.

734
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 3: We have received in the past over these low these

735
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 3: many years, we have received what I would very diplomatic

736
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: polite check its every.

737
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 2: Source really from who?

738
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 3: Well, before an episode of the show, we do, you know,

739
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: for instoks, we might have someone say, hey, I'm from

740
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 3: this is an example. We're making this up. This did

741
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: not happen, but as an example, we might do an

742
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: episode about scientology and we might receive a very nice,

743
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 3: polite email from COS and one of their reps saying, hey,

744
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 3: big fan of the show, just checked just checked out

745
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 3: your recent episode. You guys keep keeping on. Wow.

746
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we haven't received anything directly from Brendan Carr

747
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 2: yet though, so I guess we're okay.

748
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: Well, hope springs eternal. Right before we before we end here,

749
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 3: I've got to ask you guys. Do you have we

750
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 3: all three at passports? Right? Correct? Dude, Dylan, you have

751
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 3: a passport? Right?

752
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, I do? Yes? All right.

753
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: Well, if I was passport control, I would not have

754
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: liked that pause.

755
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: I know, I know, oh boy oh, but I wanted.

756
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 3: To ask you guys, and I want us to hear

757
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 3: from the audience too. Have you all ever considered getting

758
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 3: a second passport? And if so, what are your chances.

759
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 2: Like from another country?

760
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

761
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how. I don't think I could do that.

762
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 3: Do you have do you qualify for one of those

763
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 3: like EU ancestry laws or anything like Irish heritage or

764
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 3: I think Polish Heritage works too.

765
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: If I do, I'm unaware.

766
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 3: Nice, I've been looking at these second passports. We definitely

767
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 3: need to try to get it, but the golden parachute

768
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: passports are so expensive. I don't know.

769
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen in my lifetime. You'll think so, well, no,

770
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: not unless Amazon decides to make a documentary about our

771
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 2: first year on Netflix or something for seventy five million

772
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: dollars and we get a significant cut. Then yeah.

773
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: Again. I'm only going to say this at the end

774
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: of this program because Matt, you and Dylan have had

775
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 3: to hear me yell about this way too much. Today.

776
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,479
Speaker 3: It's the last time I'll say it. The time has come.

777
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 3: We should round up everyone named Jeff. We can do

778
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 3: that with big data. We just need to check in

779
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: on all the Jeffs.

780
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 2: I know so many good Jeffs.

781
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 3: Though I know I'm not saying yes, the Jeffs are

782
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 3: a good and kind people overall.

783
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 5: If you round up all the Jeffs, you might be

784
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 5: your redneck what Foxworthy.

785
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: That's one of the primary good Jeffs.

786
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 3: I know, it's like one of the top five Jeffs,

787
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 3: top eight.

788
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:05,479
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

789
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there is no humor like Dallo's humor. There

790
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 3: is no whistle like a graveyard whistle. Russia has ordered

791
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 3: Google to pay one point two quintillion dollars. That's more

792
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 3: money than exists.

793
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real. That's actually you're gonna have it, that's

794
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: the thing, right.

795
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 3: I wonder how Google responded to that particular subpoena really quickly.

796
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, I want to give

797
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: some good news because everything feels so just darn right

798
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: gross and evil and bad. Right now, some great news

799
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: coming out of Japan. This comes to us from AP

800
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 2: News and Mari Yamaguchi, written on February twentieth, twenty twenty six.

801
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read instead of reading the title, I'm just

802
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: going to go directly into the article. With a population

803
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: of two point eight million, Osaka is Japan's third largest

804
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: city that serves as a Western Japanese capital. Most of

805
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 2: Japan's main public infrastructure was built during the rapid post

806
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 2: war economic growth and urban development In Osaka Regional commercial

807
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: Hubs started earlier than many cities, and its water pipes

808
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: and other infrastructure are also aging earlier. So there's a

809
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: problem in Osaka and that that infrastructure is old and

810
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 2: it needs to be updated and it's going to cost

811
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: a lot of money. But here's an amazing thing that

812
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 2: just occurred from the article. Osaka has received a hefty

813
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: gift of gold bars worth five hundred and sixty million

814
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: yen that's three point six million US from some anonymous

815
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: so and so and asked for its specific use to

816
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 2: fix the city's water pipes.

817
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 6: Cool.

818
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 2: It's freaking awesome.

819
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 3: It's awesome. It's sad that it had to come about

820
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 3: that way, but it's awesome that it happened, you.

821
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: Know, agreed, Agreed.

822
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 3: It is kind of like it is it not kind

823
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 3: of like reading those feel good stories or the daytime

824
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 3: TV pseudo news reports where they say something like, oh,

825
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 3: this philanthropist has just paid for one hundred children to

826
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 3: have free lunch at school. Yeah, great, we're not going

827
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 3: to take away from you. But also, why are you

828
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 3: letting kids go hungry in the first few Like, well,

829
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, but.

830
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: That person's awesome and in this case, awesome. Whoever this

831
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 2: is donated twenty one kilograms or forty six pounds of gold,

832
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 2: just gave it away and said, hey, this is to

833
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: help with the water pipes. Here's the bad news. Okay

834
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: Osaka needs to renew a total of two hundred and

835
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: fifty nine kilometers or one hundred and sixty miles of

836
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: water pipes, and to renew a two kilometer or one

837
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: point two mile segment of water pipes, it costs around

838
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: five hundred million yen or three point two million dollars.

839
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 2: So the it got enough for a two kilometer segment

840
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: of water pipes, they just need two hundred and fifty

841
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: seven more kilometers.

842
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 3: And also it I don't know he staggering. I guess

843
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 3: it is. You're correct. The infrastructure around the world is

844
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 3: collapsing in a lot of places. But also, and I

845
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: don't want to be, you know, the negative entity in

846
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 3: the room here. I don't want to be a storm

847
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 3: cloud about it. But it's kind of sketchy, right, you

848
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 3: could have just donated the yen just but now gold,

849
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 3: now it's gold bars. Is this some sort of like

850
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 3: yokai curse? Is this some sort of folklore thing? Is

851
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: there a rumpel Stiltskin. That's what I'm asking. Is this

852
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 3: like a monkey's paw situation? Like who has just bars

853
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 3: of gold?

854
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: Like that is a John Wick character that means, well,

855
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 2: you know, and is sick and tired of these old pipes.

856
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: But or it's also an investment because the price of

857
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 2: gold is probably going to rise. We know it fluctuates

858
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 2: quite a bit and recently, but it will probably rise

859
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: in the way that let's say the yen or the

860
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,240
Speaker 2: US dollar won't.

861
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 3: Right, especially during I've never figured this one out, but

862
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 3: especially during times of economic instability, those tangible precious metals

863
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 3: do tend to rise. Your silver, your gold, titanium, platinum,

864
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 3: things like that. But it is you know, it is

865
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 3: cool to say that because during during the coming economic chaos,

866
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 3: gold probably will experience more of an appreciation. So if

867
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 3: Osaka takes that sketchy, sketchy, beautiful donation and they just

868
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 3: hold on to it, then they'll end up with more

869
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 3: money than they had at the beginning. That's an excellent point.

870
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe a couple maybe maybe even a kilometer of pipes.

871
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 3: Maybe even half a kilometer of pipes. Folks, thank you

872
