  Speaker 3: and then sell them at school. I don't know if

  Speaker 3: reader and scroll through what it spits out until we

  Speaker 3: have enough stuff to talk about on a podcast.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Sometimes there's more journalism than others going into these shows,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's okay. It doesn't always need to
• 3:20

• 3:33
  Speaker 3: me a bunch of these stories. Shout out, Barb, thank you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Outside Barb anyway, let's talk about cartel members.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: This is local news for me and Connor. Yeah, fortunately
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: not completely local because it happened in Riverside.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: This is where I'm from. It's like I grew up
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: around there. Oh shit, And I am not surprised that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: this is what's going on out there at all. Riverside
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: seems like a great place where if you're like a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: mid level drug due and then you have I don't know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a mill and a half, you can still get a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: pretty fucking ditch and McMansion out there and kind of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: just live it up like some kind of white trash
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: tony soprano and blend in perfectly. Just get a Raiders
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: tattoo and you're one of the gang, you know, one
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of the crew.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I just feel like, if you're in California in the
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: place is named river or something instead of ocean something,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: it's already kind of like lowering your.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Expetions, and I hate to disappoint you even further. Ain't
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: no river, Oh wow, there's no river. There's no nothing
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: like that. That's too nice. That would be nice.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I mean we have a river in La We got
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the La River. There's water in it sometimes praising when it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Rains up it is crazy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And when there's not water in it, we film music
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: videos there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Sometimes when Nold Schwarzenegger chases somebody.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or a great scene in drive. I mean, there's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of things you could do in the La
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: River that go hard, frankly, whether it's break dance or
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: do drive a car really fast.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So this right off the bat, the headline of this
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: first story is bonkers. Cartel leader's son in law faked
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: death to enable life of luxury in Riverside. And there's
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: no life of luxury in Riverside. Come on, but that's
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Though. It's like you're white trash killing it, you know, like, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you have a five bedroom house with a pool, there's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: some kind of shitty home gym in a fucking ghetto
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: ass home theater, and you think that you're like fucking scarface.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And it's enough that you think that because you live
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in Riverside and you're stupid.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Can't you become the king of Rosita? Like you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: it's like have some dreams.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: You got no karate for that?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Oh that's true.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Resita, that's a good market. That's the Riverside of
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So the cartel leader son in question, Christian Fernando Gutierrez Ochoa,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: who will be called Ochoa from here on out. He
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: is the son in law of a drug lord known
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: as Elmentcho, which I looked it up means men show
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: in English. Apparently it's just like a play on his
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: name and how it's pronounced. It's not like an actual word.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Well we should know that it's not spelled like the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Jewish mench. He's not like El Menchow, the nicest cartel guy.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I honestly thought that was what was going to come
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: out the other end of that search, and I was like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: why is this cartel leader called.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: The minch That is fascinating.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Just super friendly. I always remember send Christmas gifts to
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: his other cartel associates.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Well, he actually worked with a guy who's known mostly
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: for eating pussy, El Muncho.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my kind of cartel uga.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Logan make a sound effect, noise.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I don't want to do the pussy eating sound effect.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I don't think it'll come across for anybody's here as well.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Just you could have you could have gone with You
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: don't have to dirty dirty about it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: That's more of a boob sound effect or a dog too,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: if you're looking down there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, Adam didn't say do a good sound effect.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: He said, do a sound effect. You could have done
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: windshield wipers for all week here.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm trying to think of the greatest sound effect.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: That doesn't make sense for eating pussy. It has to
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: be kind of like coins tingling in a fucking fountain.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Just it's not bad, it's not bad.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: It kind of sounded like a really tiny horse galloping.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, caloping to the pussy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: All right. I think that I saw the cartel issue.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: We'll send him that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, this guy's name Nimicio Osaguera Servante. I don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: know how you get Mencho out of that, but it's fine.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Maybe, like if you're naming your kid Nimicio, you're just
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: setting him up to be kind of a back.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, literally an nealysis. Right. Yeah, it's like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: well his brother Evil though it wasn't much better either.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, they are both high ranking members of the hell
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Sco New Generation cartel. CJ nng Ochoa started working for
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the cartel in twenty fourteen, married Elmencho's daughter, a US
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: citizen and coffee shop owner in Riverside.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You know this, lady Connor.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I think I smashed once after a gig at the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Ontario impross.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: How's her yelp reviews?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they would link to the coffee shop in the article.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's like a front, I mean, they don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: have to care about being a good coffee shop. It
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: could be the worst coffee shop ever. It's a front.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: She does fantastic art on the lattes, but it's all
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: just like terrifying cartel kills.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Can I get a Dadlo's birthday's skull or something? Nope? Okay,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: good another headshot.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: So while this guy was in Mexico Ochoa, the son
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: in law, he is alleged to have facilitated the transport
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of forty metric tons of meth into the US.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: That seems like a.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Lot because because they follow that up by saying and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: also two thousand kilograms of cocaine, or.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: As Diddy calls it, a small get together.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems like such a disproportionate amount of drugs.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: You have to know your market, you know, you just
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: go where the customer tells you to go, and if
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: it's meth, you go with meth.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: It probably all went to Riverside.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I was about to say where it tells you to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: go is Riverside?
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: I mean that's just good business planning.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: The only thing that can make that city feel exciting
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: is meth, because when you're on meth, Riverside is like
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Paris Paris, California, which is even worse than Riverside you've
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: ever heard been. It'sed by Hemmet. I can go on
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: for way too long with obscure East California cities.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hemmett, home of the Hemet maze stone, which I
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: hear is very fucking disappointing, like really small. We talked
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: about it on the past once. It's like a weird
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: rock in the middle of the desert or whatever the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: fuck Hemmet is, and it's got this weird maze pattern
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: carved into it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Oh weird.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Surprisingly looks like someone eating pussy, right Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with a really long tongue.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: He just zoom out and it's like a crop circle
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: of someone going down.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: That's haimit.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: This guy is also alleged to have kidnapped two members
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: of the Mexican Navy in twenty twenty one in an
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: effort to get a step mom released from jail.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a good, good step son.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Honestly, when you get to the next point, I actually
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: have a point to make about this, gentlemen.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So do you think he was into those stepmom porn
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: videos and he thought if he did this he might
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: be able to curry favor. You know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: An Interpol red notice was issued for him after that
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: endeavor in twenty twenty two, and that's when Ochoa went missing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: His father in law, Elmancho started telling people around him
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: that he killed Ochoa for drawing too much attention to
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the ORG. In real life, he had just led to
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Riverside to live with his his love is a more isn't.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Necessarily what you would want if you're in the mob,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: like to get out at some point and enjoy a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: fucking quiet life.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I guess I was joking when I said
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: there's no such thing as a life of luxury in Riverside,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: because he bought a one point two million dollar house
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: through a front company when they got there, and that
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: feels like a lot of money in Riverside.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Tony Soprano MC Mansions.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: And the house is the reason that he got caught.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, realtor and the seller both were like, oh, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: think these are cartel guys.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: So not to defend the cartel murderer. But let's just
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: look at the facts here. This man gave up his
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: job to support his wife's career ambitions of opening up
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: a coffee shop. He also tried to get his mother
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: back on the right track and out of prison. And
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: then the only reason he was captured was because a
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: racist looked at him and said, I bet those guys
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: are in the cartel. I'm an, be honest a little
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: bit on this guy's side. Right now.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say, I bet this
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: realtor one has dealt with a lot of Mexican clients
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: before being in Riverside. Also, we don't know that she
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: was white. We don't know that the people who own
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the house before were white. It's Riverside logan. I don't know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I feel like a white person would be the only
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: one with the tenacity to snitch on a cartel person
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: like that. I think other people would know to mind
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: their own fucking business, Like, oh, this guy looks like
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: a cartel member. I'm not going to say a thing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna enjoy my commission and not die.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: It is big Karen Energy to think that you and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: your fucking iPhone can stand up to the cartel.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: That really tore has to be someone with enough white
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: person hairspray in there too deflect the bullet. That's why
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: you feel that confident. I don't see this being a
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: person of color as a person of color. It just
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: doesn't see right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I'm curious. I wish we could find out.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the trail goes cold.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the Feds caught wind of this guy still
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: being alive and being in Riverside.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: They start surveiling him. He starts surveiling them back.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Which that's cool, that's funny.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Eventually he got arrested. Elmnhow is still on the run,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: though we don't know where olmnhow is.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: If they didn't catch him through the real litur they
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: just would have noticed the escalation and pussy eating happening
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: in the Riverside area, So this would have been how
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: they track it down.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: The thing about elmnhow is he's got a lot of friends,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: He's done a lot of people some favors over the years.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Such a mench that he is, so there's any number
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of places that they could be putting them up.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: So next story, remember that thing where people are going
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: on TikTok and Instagram to post videos complaining about how
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: expensive McDonald's hash browns were when you bought them on
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: door dash.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Uh I would, I don't, I don't. I don't get
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's like I don't go to carbnews dot com. I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: didn't hear about this.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't go to carbnews dot com.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: But it was a thing, like it was a big
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: story because it related to inflation and people being mad
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: about inflation. I thought it was kind of dumb to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: complain about the price of a McDonald's hash brown while
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you're holding it in your hand, because that means, well,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you still fucking ordered it, so shut the fuck up,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: like make hash browns at home.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's kind it's like complaining about the price
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: or something in Disneyland or seven to eleven. It's like
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to you know, what do you how do
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you think this works?
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Also, it's door dash. Of course it's going to be
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: more expensive, but yeah, that's the convenience of not going
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: to a McDonald's. Yeah, just go to Walmart. You can
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: buy like the frozen ones for like twenty for like
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: three bucks and just put it in an air fryer,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: if you love them that much.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to be dismissed earlier, Adam. I just
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: was like, Wow, there's so much unrest that I missed
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the potato riots.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: So it seems like the other cause behind this could be.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Speaking of cartels, there lurks among us a frozen potato
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: cartel that is made up of four companies that I
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: won't name. You're not going to recognize any of the names.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: The Russets, the Yukons, the Red Skin Yeah, and whatever
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: a fourth potato is, yeah.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The Idaho Chamber of Commerce.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: This potato cartel has recently been hit with a bunch
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: of federal lawsuits, five actually accusing them of conspiring to
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: artificially fixed prices by sharing trade information and coordinating price
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: raises starting in twenty twenty one, which is right around
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the time people were bitching about the price of their
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: hash browns.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Go figure, this is a conspiracy. This is like just
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: an actual thing that happened. Like most of the food
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: inflation they've already shown his like was drastically upmarked by companies,
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Like there's a reason Kroger got slapped with like a
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: food inflation charge on their grocery prices, and like, there's
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: a reason why you're seeing rollbacks from like targeted places
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: and grocery prices because they definitely just scan that shit
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: beyond actual inflation.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And I guess, like whether or not, like the public
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: or the like Johnny Locke comes after you, you just go,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, boat got stuck supply chain.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Like, I'll just pay my two million dollar fine on
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: the three hundred million profit I made. Whoopsie, Daisy, I
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: want to push back on one thing you said, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: I feel like we're going to talk about it again later.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: This is the textbook definition of a conspiracy. Oh yeah,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: what's not conspiracy is questioning the government.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, I should have phrased that better. This is
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: actual conspiracy, not like tinfoil hack.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this isn't roswell, which just because they don't put
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: it on carbnews dot com doesn't mean that, you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: the lamestream media can control this narrative.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Wow, Connor shit talking our biggest sponsor.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: The lamestream media. Oh no, I ford carb News.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Oh I wish the lamestream media.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Holy shit, people are gonna find our bodies tomorrow with
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: a fucking potato shoved in our mouths for talking shit.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, that'd be a fun way to go.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I'm irish. You can't kill me with the potato.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: You just get stronger and stronger.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: That's like shoot and sug night.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: It's like Popeye.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: So these actions are alleged to have caused prices for
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: frozen potato products to rise by forty seven percent between
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: July twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: That is a lot.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: That's a big I canceled fucking stream Yard because they
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: boosted the price fifty percent. Oh thank you, actually one
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: hundred percent. It's forty four dollars they raised at the
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: eighty eight dollars and nope, nope, fuck that like that
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: And that's probably why I stopped ordering door Dash. I mean,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: every once in a while I'll do it, but god damn,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: is that a bad value. Like, if you're struggling with
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: your finances and ordering door Dash a bunch, stop ordering
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: door Dash.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: That will help.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's like a like a tree, like almost
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: like an emergency thing like I but my car's been
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a it's a shop for the last couple of days.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: So I literally like I'm limited to like what's in
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: walking distance from my place, so like I was, like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you know, lean like it's only for very extenuating so
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Like it just feels so privileged to me, Like,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: just fucking go pick it up. You save so much.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: We be a total fat piece of shit and need
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: fast food all the time. Just go fucking pick it
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: up with your car, like it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I've never used door dash because just like, I can't
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: imagine a situation where I need a fucking whopper in
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: that dire of a circumstance that I have to have
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: it delivered to be as like, just eat literally anything else,
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: or order something from a place that does delivery that
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: doesn't take advantage of their drivers.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I fuck with a whopper though.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you need what you need, man. You know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: sometimes you need some applesider salmon donuts from Trade to Joe's.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Other times you need to kill them.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, will the place that already does delivery
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: also stop at my local grocery store and pick me
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: up groceries and beer if I need them to.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Door dash will pretty fucking handy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: That's pretty handy.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: But yeah, they should treat their drivers better. But who
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: shouldn't what company is out there treating their drivers really good?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Probably not.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I used to work for a mom and pop delivery
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: app that was like a competitor to Postmates, but not
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: really like they had a dispatcher. They didn't have like
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: an algorithm that sorted the deliveries to you, like some
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: dude like messaged it to you and you could scam.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But you scam them for quite a bit of money,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: that startup cash or whatever. Like we milked them, you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: me and the boys.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when I lived in Wisconsin, there was a thing,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: and this was like in the nineties, that there was
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: a delivery service like that where they would just like
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: it was just a handful of restaurants you could order from,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: and they like used a dispatcher type thing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I would order Hooters from there all the time.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: But then you don't have the ambiance of a divorcedtead
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: trying to hit on a waitress if you don't go
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: there in person.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Some of us read Playboy for the articles and go
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to Hooters for the wings man. All right, some people
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: are enlightened. I feel like you're threatened by it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: I have Hooters flower in my pantry that exists.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: What the fuck Hooters staples.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: You can buy Hooters flour and Hooters wing sauce in
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: stores and just make Hooters wings at home because speaking
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: of inflation, Hooters is one of the most expensive restaurants.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't expect it, but fucking walk in there someday
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: and try to order lunch and get out of there
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: spending less than thirty five dollars.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: And before someone complains about us complaining about door dash,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: because I know there's going to be somebody in the commets. Yes,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I understand that some people will have certain disabilities that
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: prevent them from going to places, so they use services
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: like that. Please don't make that complaint.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I don't understand that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Try harder, try harder, not to have crippling diseases.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's what I'm hearing. You had two choices, press
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a button and give up or be inspiring, and you
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: chose failure. And if that's ablest, then well I have.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Seen enough montages on television and movies that show that
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: it's really just you need an old man trainer yelling
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: at you and that's enough to get you out of.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: The chair and an upbeat like one hundred and twenty
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: beats per minute song about getting better or being the best.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: My favorite thing was in Dark Knight Rises, where Batman's
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: spine is literally broken in half, and the way they
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: fix it is just some old dude in a nasty
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: shithole prison just punches his spine back into alignment and
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: he does sit ups until he can get out. Fantastic message.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: How do you keep that guy in prison? By the way,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: let that fell out Batman?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Well, he's the Batman, Adam. You know, he's the only
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: one who can feel your plans.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I don't remember. Was the guy who punched him also
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: like an inmate or did they?
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was an inmate. He was just somebody who's
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: like eventually, like you know, probably three people died before
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: he learned the perfect punching for spine techniques. But you
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: know that's you can't make an without breaking some eggs, yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: or spines in this case.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: He's like, I was so fucking close with Aquaman. Just
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: hold still.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Do you know that there was some fucking chiropractor watching
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: that movie is like, see see it works?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: No it doesn't.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Oh I thought they would be like, you're making a
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: mockery of my fine arts.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I hope at least one chiropractor was like, you know what,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: fuck it, I'm gonna try that tomorrow. Yeah, someone's getting
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: the fucking upper cut to the lower spine in the morning.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Let's see what happens.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Prepared to receive the healing fist.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Are you willing to participate in a clinical trial for
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: a new treatment?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Sign here? Bow all right. Next story, This will be quick.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: This is a follow up to a story we've talked
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: about a lot on this pod, the Fat Leonard scandal.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Well, fat Leonard, lam a lamb, Fat Leonard getting fat
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: lam a lamb, Fat Lenny on the back, Maamo flat Leonard.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I was gonna go with, hey, fat Leonard. It's fantastic
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: that there's a lie in this article that just says
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: fat Leonard known such for his gigantic size, which is
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: just that's some nice writing there. Thanks for that information.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Exposition.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Fat Leonard is a Malaysian contractor who short version of
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: the story built the Navy out of thirty five million
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: dollars by bribing naval officers like of the Seventh Fleet,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: like the most prestigious of all the naval fleets. He
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: would bribe them with like secret blowjobs from prostitutes, a
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: suckling pigs.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: You know, who doesn't want a suckling pig?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes just money, all kinds of favors in exchange for that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: They would give him the fucking routes of military ships
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: and reroute them to his ports. And when they got
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to his ports, he would weigh overcharge for the services
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: that he rendered to these ships, because when they pull
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: into port, you have to do shit, you know, maintenance
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: with ships all the time. He would way way overcharge
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: for all that shit. And that's how he made all
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: of this money. Bilking the Navy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Feel uncomfortable with putting suckling pigs next to blowjobs.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Just yeah, I don't know one in the same wouldn't
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: surprise me.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Just so, like who has traded just the giant hunk
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: of flesh for goods and services? Since like Genghis Khan, you.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Know, yeah, I don't feel bad for any situation that
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: ends with the military, US military and the drial complex
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: being screwed over. Just yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And to pay my rent this month, four pounds of fat.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Back a bunch of the trials involving the people who
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: took bribes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I feel like this.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I mentioned this when we did an update about this
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, and I mentioned it then too.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I feel like the government did this part on purpose.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: But basically most of these trials, the ones that went
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: to trial, some people just took plea deals. The ones
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: that went to trial, the government, the prosecution made all
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: of these very obvious and seemingly intentional mistakes, to the
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: point where the judge was like, all right, this fucking
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: trial is over. You all have to pay one hundred
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: dollars fines and you get like a month probation.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: It's fine.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: The shitty lawyer is like hiding a suckling pick at
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: its jacket like a man.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I feel like the government didn't want this to
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: really really go to.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Trial because if in the article it says he was extraordinary,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: extraordinarily cooperative to a ridiculous degree, which is just like
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: he was an MVP snitch, which yes, yeah. And also
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: it was like a thousand people got indicted or he
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: had like a thousand people that could have gotten indicted,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: which that is like a bribery hall of fame, Like
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm from Chicago. That's ridiculous, Jordan numbers you're
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: putting in that work like that's Kobe ethic.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Tammany Hall would be proud.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're bribing at noon, I've been bribing since
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: four am. That's extra hours you put in that time.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: I've had twice as much bribing as you have gotten
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: into a single day.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I've been bribing so much to call me Joe Briban
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and the fucking President of given on bribes.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: He's making it rained, but it's just suckling pigs.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Just vibes, giving us some bribe vibes.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: So he's been sentenced to fifteen years in prison, but
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: he's appealing. That's the only update.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: The only peel he's ever seen. That fat fucker hates fruit.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: I would love if he came out just prison jacked
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: and they had to change.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It to swool Lener buff Leonard.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just huge.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: He is super tall also, so.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like six two and three fifty. But I
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: want that to switch around to like.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: This isn't when he comes up big Lenny with a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: bunch of Area Nation tattoos.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he's also only got eight and a half
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: years left on his sentence. I bet he's still got
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: some of that cash. There's no way he doesn't.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: It's gid got something in the ceiling, right, these guys like, Okay,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: there's a rubber made tub buried in the desert somewhere.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: And you know what, I want that for him. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: hope he's still got some of that military money. I'll
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: take some of it. What do you want me to do?
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Military?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to say anything bribeless.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: So, speaking of updates, you know that thing where the
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Onion bought Info Wars by way of an auction with
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the help of Sandy Hook families, Yeah, that might not
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: be happening after all.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That's a bummer. This was one of the most like
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: one to one funny. You know, this was a great
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: feel of his story. We all needed dead.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not as crazy about it, but
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: we'll get to it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Well, because you actually think about the implications of things, Adam.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: For me, it would be funny for a few seconds
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and I never think about it again, and that would
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: be fine.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I just like Alex Jones failing that just makes me happy.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that already happened.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I want him to fail harder.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I want him personally to succeed, but his views to
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: be harshed through very carefully.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I really wanted him to reveal what we're in the
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: supplements that they got. That would have been fantastic.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: So what happened is a bidder who was affiliated with
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Alex Jones objected to this deal at the last minute
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: because that bidder, which is First United American Companies, the
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: only other bidder, actually bid twice as much as the Onion.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: At first, the Onion bid one point seventy five million.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: This company bid three millions, not quite twice as much
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: close and eventually, with the help of Sandy Hook families
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: who promised to pool their resources once the money starts
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: rolling in from their litigation against Alex Jones, they promised
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: to put that toward the Onion's bid, and the Onion
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: was able to increase their bid seven million dollars. The
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: claim here is that First United American Companies were not
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: allowed to counter that bid, and now it's going to court.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: And it was a whole thing where for a while
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Info Wars went down, like it seemed like they were
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: shut down, and then this happened, and now Alex Jones
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: is back on Info Wars. He did a whole thing
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: where he like did a video storming back into the office.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a whole goddamn thing. And here's the thing.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want Alex Jones to seed either, but I
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: also don't want the Onion to buy info wars. I
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: want the Left to come up with some sort of
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: resistance that isn't just jokes, and we don't have that
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: in any capacity. We got jokes and retweets. That's what
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: we got right now.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: And all those pithy salons did so much to stop
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the rise of Hitler. What although that's a quote from something,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: it's like all those pithy salons did so much to
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: stop the rise of Hitler. Like, yeah, we all mean
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: these dumb ass, fucking jokes, but it was like people
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: actually seizing power behind the scenes while you weren't paying attention.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's the thing, Like this shit's not really funny anymore.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: And I don't know. I mean, I.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Guess the Onion's gonna try, but they're just going to
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: be making fun of people who are like winning right now,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Like we're just gonna laugh about it while the country
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: goes up in fucking flames. And I get it. It's
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: what the Onion does it's what it's what we do.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, I don't know. I'm not in favor.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, what if they rebranded and make it exactly
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about, like a left wing, a left
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: wing in info Wars with better research or what you know.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: It would be great if they took info Wars and
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: they just made it as like a fact checking thing,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: like legitimately just fact checked every.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Single or on information. Yeah, that would be really yeah.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Like it actually lived up to the name info Wars, like.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: It was always a cool name. No one ever thought
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: the name wasn't cool.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Great name, yeah, yeah, no, fantastic branding, but like, yeah,
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: that would be great if it was just completely just
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: straight up most boring fact checking, like just a nerd
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: with his nose in a book. Just Nope, that's inaccurate. Nope,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: that's inaccurate. Nope, that's inaccurate.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: That's a mallard, not a duck.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they start to get really really pedantic.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we'll see how that goes. This episode.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: We're recording at least a week in advance, and I
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: think there will be a decision on this by Monday,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: So this could be completely old fucking news by the
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: time people hear this, all right, these last two stories,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the fucking Sean Combe's situation.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: It's so weird to call him that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Oh is there something happening with Diddy?
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I am fascinated by how this is going to turn out,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: because here's the thing I'm getting strong Jeffrey Epstein vibes.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, But.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Unlike Jeffrey Epstein's collaborators, I feel like we're gonna get
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: names and maybe lawsuits and arrests out of this. I
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: don't know what the difference is between Jeffrey Epstein's band
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: of pedophiles and Ditty's.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: That might make it different. I don't know. I couldn't
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: put my face.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I think I think they might name names up to
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: like Trey Songs level, but anybody more famous might be protected.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I think there's a very obvious visual difference between Epstein
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: and Ditty's. Oh yeah, yeah, No, is that?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It?
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Is that what you're That's what I was getting. Yeah,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a reason Kelly is in jail, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of is there ever been a
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: white musician who has ever done what R Kelly did?
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Hmm hmmm, No.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well it's that tweet where it's like listening
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: to a seventies rock song where it's like hey girl, oh,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: they mean like girl, like hey little girl, oh, because
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: she's like tiny, hey, little girl, young enough to be
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: in grade school.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: And like yeah, yeah, there's so many seventies rock songs
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: about having sex with tweens and shit.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: And now ted nugents.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just gonna say, and now most of
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: them are Trump supporters. Anyway, the Diddy sex abuse case,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: this shit just keeps getting more and more interesting. Last
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: week we learned somehow prosecutors had gotten their hands on
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: handwritten notes from inside his jail cell that showed he'd
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: been contacting witnesses and was planning to try and pay
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: them off or dig up dirt on them to compel
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: them not to testify.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: And there was a pre planned suitep.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Of jail cells at the facility he's being held at,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: and surprised they found these notes of his someone took
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: pictures of them and sent them to the prosecution, and
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the prosecution I feel like I've at least watched enough
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: legal procedurals to know you can't use that evidence. That's
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: not how you get evidence, you don't take it from
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: someone's sell and take pictures of it and send it
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the prosecution. That's essentially like breaking in to someone's shit.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: And the judge, it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Seems, for now, has agreed with that stance.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: That was also the defense's stance, which was, hey, you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: in the Constitution it says we're not subject to unreasonable
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: searches and seizures and things of the like, and their
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: contention is that that's what this is. Also that what
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: they took is protected by attorney client privilege. So the
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: judge has ordered them to destroy the notes and not
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: factor them into their work going forward until they decide
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: on whether they can actually use them.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: You got to wonder if they like leake the evidence
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: in order to contaminate it, you know, so that they
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: couldn't use it.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: I feel like if I don't feel like this is
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: going to make a huge amount of difference considering the
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: tons of a good point.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems to be hours of video and you.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Know, yeah, this is like complaining about not getting parsely
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: on your fucking postaition. It's like I didn't need that
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: at all. No, that's that's fine, you know.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the trial starts May fifth, and boy, am I
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: interested to see how that goes.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: That is you think he's gonna make it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: It's a trial, I.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Mean, I mean I can't prognosticate.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I can't say one way or the other.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: It's the American prison system. Someone can kill him if
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: they want to.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: I feel like if anybody could get gott in prison,
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: it probably would be Dy considering the amount of people
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: that just don't like him.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: So he's got a lot of money though.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: But also on the flip side of that is Tony Buzzby.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: He's a lawyer who has filed civil claims on behalf
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: of one hundred and twenty victims of Sean Combe's and
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: now someone who is so far only described as a
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: powerful man has sued Tony Buzzby accusing him of extortion.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: I'm familiar with Tony Busby very much so, being near
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: the Houston area.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, is he a Houston lawyer?
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: He's a Houston lawyer. So just because I want you're
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: gonna go into some stuff, but I kind of want
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: to set a little background on Tony Buzby. Tony Busby
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: is the lawyer who who brought the case against Deshaun Watson,
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: so he has a big legal toe hold in sex
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: cases like this. He's also the person behind the Travis
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Scott lawsuit for Astroworld, so this isn't his first rodeo
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: when it comes to this. He's also insane because he
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: has a lot of property and he had a huge
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: argument that he had a tank parked in front of
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: one of his properties, like an actual tank, and they
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: had to keep finding him until he moved it to Texarcana.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: So he's kind of a crazy Texas lawyer guy.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I like tank Sarcana. Why does he only sue black people?
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: A fuck, Tony Buzzby. There's no white people out there
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: committing sexual assaults.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: I was going to try to think of something to
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: argue against that, But he also represented that fucking piece
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: of shit can passed in against his impeachment thing who
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: is a very white man.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: So on, Tony, well back to this powerful man. What
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: they're claiming is that he sent a with quote entirely
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault in an attempt
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: to force a private settlement. The lawsuit says Buzzby's letter
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: included wildly false, horrific allegations claiming the man quote raped
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: multiple miners both male and female, who had been drugged
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: at parties hosted by Combs. Also claims Buzzby threatened to
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: take a different course if they didn't make a private settlement,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: and they took that to mean that he was going
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: to go public, make more public statements, and report them
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: to the FBI. The FBI part, it turns out, is
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: super important. Apparently letters like this are very common. It's
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: called a demand letter. And when there's a situation like this,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: the lawyer fires off a letter and says, hey, we
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: don't want to go to court, right, why don't we
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: just settle this? And that's perfectly legal. We'll link to
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: this Rolling Stone article. They talked to a lawyer, you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: legal expert, and what they said is basically, you can
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: send those letters that standard, but you can't end it
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: with or will tell the cops or or we'll report
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: you to the FBI. That is the part that if
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Tony Busby did that, then yes, this is actually extortion.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: But if that's not in this letter, this is actually
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: just like.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: That's why I think it's bullshit. Like I said, this
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: is the guy who has gotten like twenty three settlements
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: out of Deshaun Watson, So it's not like I don't
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: think he's on the level of trial lawsuit lawyer where
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: he clearly knows the law enough not to be stupid
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: enough to try this type of thing. So that's why
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna call bullshit on this.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like someone who has enough money to
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: file a lawsuit just to get Tony Buzzby extortionist in
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: fucking search results.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Tony Buzby, for his part, he called it a last
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: ditch attempt to stop me from revealing names in public lawsuits,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: and then added it won't work. This is so goddamn exciting.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: I want names in lawsuits. And what's especially exciting is
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Tony Buzby has said, well, now that this happened, now
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: that I got sued for doing normal lawyer shit and
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: keeping it anonymous, now we're just gonna reveal who we
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: send these demand letters to going forward. So it's all
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: on the up and up, and I bet that's not
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: the outcome motherfuckers wanted.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Also, is this jay Z.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say no. I know you're saying it's jay Z,
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: but I don't think Jay Z's weird enough where he
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: would just call himself a celeb, like I feel like
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: his ego would be, and I think he's smarter than that.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: In defense, I don't know that he's the one calling
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: himself a celebrity.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: I think they said that, they that he called himself
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: a person of interest in a celebrity, like in the
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: depsit or whatever. I think it's Ashton Kutcher, really, Ashton
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Kutcher hangs out with Diddy. Ashton Kutcher has a bunch
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: of scumbag friends like wil Der, vaud Brama and Danny
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Masterson and is a weirdo, so I could and I
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: could see him calling himself a celebrity.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: And what is assault if not a really extreme form
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: of being punked.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: The only reason I bring up jay Z is there
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: was a singer named Jaguar Wright went on Pierce Morgan's
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: YouTube show and just straight up said jay Z is
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: part of this and that jay Z is a fucking
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: pedophile and jay Z and Beyonce's legal team fucking sent
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the cavalry after Pierce Morgan and that motherfucker edited the
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: episode to remove those claims and like publicly apologized.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Wow, it's gonna be crazy if it just ends up.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Being Mace, if it's just Mace after all this time.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Just ends up being Mace, Like, yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: So you know they favorite something's on the Internet, It's
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: up there forever. It's like Deyonce literally has enough money
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: and take shit off of the Internet.
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Beyonce could just buy the Internet, like the whole thing.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: If she wanted to take away lemonade from us, she
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: could probably get it to like only a few people
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: would have the empty threes.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Doesn't jay Z actually have more money?
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I don't, I haven't.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I stopped keeping track because a Beyonce wasn't answering my DMS.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: He's like an actual billionaire. I know that much.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not a Tom Brady Giselle situation, Like, yeah,
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: they're probably on equal footing.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: I like Beyonce had that line in that song because
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: there was that video of Solange like slapping jay Z.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: Oh she doesn't. She kicked the shit out of him.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: She was throwing like, she was throwing legs like it
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: was a fucking cage back. She knew how to. She
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: went down trying to stop his ground game.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I just liked that Beyonce had a song where she
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: addressed that, and she said, of course shit goes down
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: when there's a billion dollars on the elevator.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: I like that line too.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and my follow up line is how much of
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: that was Solange's like six hundred thirty seven dollars?
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Probably she probably get six hundred and thirty seven.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: K Yeah, probably.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: You know. Afterwards, she was just like, you're a great sister.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, here's the thing. Solange makes better albums. Though,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: we don't have to dwell on it.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Fellas, fell as, fellas calm down with this. Just Solange
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: takes it's too much exactly.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I just I didn't want it to get heated, So
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: lets him through it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: What if it's Rick Rubin.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: What if it's Rick Ross?
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was actually I read a profile of on
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: him on a cardnews dot com. He's just getting kind
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: of a lifetime Achievement award.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: Well, if it's Rick Ross, I feel like he could
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: get to Diddy because of his fucking uh correctional officer connections,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: which he keeps trying to hide.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, the pictures out there, dude, just embrace it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Oh man, What if it's Drake. Drake would be the
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: most like, oh, I just you'd instantly believe that, like.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, yeah, Drake, I wouldn't.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: I think Kendrick Lamar would just explod with joy if
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: you heard that, like oh yeah, yeah, he would just
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: be he'd laugh himself to death like that fucking weasel
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: and uh who framed drive Rabbit.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Oh Also, Buzzbea claims he has already settled a bunch
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: of cases by way of these demand letters and said
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: that those cases quote involve people, you know.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, like I say, you got his clients paid
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: with the Shawn Watson, So this isn't his first man dealing.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: With the Shawn Watson should have just like not done that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson is the only injury where I heard nobody
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: feeling bad for him when he tore his achilles, Like
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: everyone's just like.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so yeah, we'll see how this unfolds.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I've been following this fucking Diddy case. Uh, I mean
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: everyone has been, probably, but.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: May is a long time it is.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well we'll see Goes. I'm sure he'll be fine.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah for sure. Yeah, nothing will happen.
