- 0:00Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Tim Dillon Show. The
- 0:02Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle controversy keeps going. It rolls on no matter
- 0:07Speaker 1: what else we should be talking about. Dave Chappelle's Netflix
- 0:10Speaker 1: special has become the focal point of the media in
- 0:14Speaker 1: this country. It is not the rapidly rising prices of utilities,
- 0:19Speaker 1: of food. It is not the massive homelessness problem. It
- 0:24Speaker 1: is not the inability of the government in Washington to function.
- 0:29Speaker 1: It is not any of those things. It is the
- 0:31Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle Netflix special where there are employees of Netflix
- 0:37Speaker 1: who are angry at this, staging a walkout of the special.
- 0:42Speaker 1: So it is a special that I, full disclosure, have
- 0:46Speaker 1: not seen all of. I watched a little bit of it.
- 0:49Speaker 1: You know, he's a master. Was it the funniest thing
- 0:52Speaker 1: in the world? No. Is he expressing an opinion held
- 0:56Speaker 1: by the vast majority of human beings about men and women? Yes.
- 1:02Speaker 1: But the CEO of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, who's Greek, right?
- 1:06Speaker 2: I believe so, yeah.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Interesting. So, because there's not a lot of successful Greek people.
- 1:13Speaker 1: There's really not.
- 1:14Speaker 2: That's true.
- 1:14Speaker 1: The vast majority of Greeks are not doing well. Mm-hmm.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But some of them are, right? They own diners, but
- 1:22Speaker 1: they're more working class people. And Ted Sarandos, good for him.
- 1:26Speaker 1: There's John Stamos. There's a few of them. A couple, yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks' wife. It's not a huge group.
- 1:33Speaker 1: So Ted Sarandos, Greek, Giannis Papas, Greek, defended Dave Chappelle
- 1:40Speaker 1: and said, listen, guys... Um, we're going to put out things.
- 1:44Speaker 1: You may not like them. We don't think it's going
- 1:46Speaker 1: to lead, uh, to, uh, real world violence against trans people.
- 1:50Speaker 1: That was basically the gist of his, uh, statement. Um,
- 1:56Speaker 1: Netflix chief again, defend Chappelle special quote content doesn't directly
- 2:02Speaker 1: translate to real world harm. He said, we have Dave
- 2:05Speaker 1: Chappelle on our platform. We also have Hannah Gadsby and
- 2:08Speaker 1: then Hannah Gadsby who we don't know where she's been, uh,
- 2:11Speaker 1: She's somewhere in Australia enforcing a lockdown, I'll tell you
- 2:14Speaker 1: that much. Where is she? She's in New Zealand, right? Blinking? Anyway,
- 2:18Speaker 1: Hannah Gadsby, who's... She's atypical, neurodivergent, whatever. She's not always
- 2:23Speaker 1: with us. And when she is with us, she says
- 2:25Speaker 1: some very disturbing things and then goes back to where
- 2:28Speaker 1: she lives. And that's great. But she doesn't really know
- 2:31Speaker 1: what's going on. She's kind of fuzzy. It just seems
- 2:34Speaker 1: like she's like a fuzzy photograph, right? Her hair is
- 2:37Speaker 1: never quite done. She's just kind of law. And this
- 2:39Speaker 1: is why it is. Mullen does a great impression of her.
- 2:42Speaker 1: But every now and then she gets real fired up,
- 2:44Speaker 1: you know, when someone insults Greta Thunberg or whatever.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:47Speaker 1: She gets real fired up when a white guy does
- 2:49Speaker 1: something bad. So she looked at Ted Sarandos. She's like,
- 2:52Speaker 1: fuck him. And she literally said, uh, she said, Hey,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Ted Sarandos, just a quick note to let you know
- 2:59Speaker 1: that I would prefer if you didn't drag my name
- 3:01Speaker 1: in your mess. Now I have to deal with even
- 3:03Speaker 1: more of the hate and anger that Dave Chappelle's fans
- 3:06Speaker 1: like to unleash on me. Every time gave gets $ 20
- 3:08Speaker 1: million to process his emotionally stunted, partial worldview. Um, Fuck
- 3:15Speaker 1: you and your amoral algorithm cult. I do... What? With
- 3:22Speaker 1: more backbone than you? What is that word?
- 3:24Speaker 2: I can do more... Shits?
- 3:29Speaker 1: I can do more shits with more backbone than you.
- 3:33Speaker 4: What?
- 3:34Speaker 1: But this is what I mean. She's not fully with us.
- 3:37Speaker 1: She's not fully with us. And God bless her. She's
- 3:39Speaker 1: a child of God. She goes, that's just a joke.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I definitely didn't cross along because you just told the
- 3:44Speaker 1: world there isn't one. Gadsby captured her post. Yes, I
- 3:48Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. Leave me alone. Trans is beautiful.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Comedy is dead. I killed it. Those are the hashtags.
- 3:56Speaker 2: It says here she's trans as well. I didn't know that.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Well, I didn't either.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I had no idea.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I had no idea. Does she talk about this in
- 4:05Speaker 1: the net?
- 4:06Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I don't remember it.
- 4:08Speaker 2: No, right?
- 4:09Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, I want to see them... Both
- 4:13Speaker 1: of them hash it out. You know? Who cares about
- 4:19Speaker 1: any of this? Comedy's dumb. Stop watching it. Stop watching
- 4:23Speaker 1: comedy specials. Get a life. Truly. Stop watching comedy specials.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Stop watching specials. You have horrible lives. You have horrible lives.
- 4:35Speaker 1: People are doing so much cool shit on this planet.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Stop watching fucking anybody talk for an hour. Except this show.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Because this is different. But the others out there are
- 4:48Speaker 1: wasting your time. Not me. Never would. I respect you. Stop.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Turn it off. Turn it off. And turn this on.
- 4:57Speaker 1: They're canceling Halloween in Seattle, which makes me think, or
- 5:00Speaker 1: not canceling it, but there's a school in Seattle where
- 5:03Speaker 1: they're banning the Halloween parade, which makes you glad I
- 5:06Speaker 1: own a house in Texas because, you know, it's good
- 5:09Speaker 1: to hedge your bets and you don't know what's going
- 5:11Speaker 1: to happen with these people. I don't know what's going
- 5:13Speaker 1: to happen. Seattle Elementary School cancels its annual pumpkin parade
- 5:18Speaker 1: because it, quote, I don't even understand this. Marginalizes students
- 5:24Speaker 1: of color who don't celebrate Halloween. Who are these students
- 5:30Speaker 1: that do not celebrate Halloween? I'm truly confused. Benjamin Franklin
- 5:36Speaker 1: Day Elementary School. By the way, how is that still
- 5:38Speaker 1: the name of this school? Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School
- 5:42Speaker 1: has canceled its upcoming Halloween parade because it, quote, marginalizes
- 5:45Speaker 1: students of color. Administrators claim that a number of students,
- 5:49Speaker 1: especially African-American boys, do not celebrate Halloween and feel excluded.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I've never heard of this. Have you heard of this?
- 5:56Speaker 1: We have our friends on the couch. I've never heard
- 5:58Speaker 1: that African-American boys do not celebrate Halloween.
- 6:01Speaker 2: No, never heard that.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I've never heard of that.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Unless they're Muslim, perhaps.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I guess, but I don't even know. What about all
- 6:11Speaker 1: the gang initiations on Halloween? There's tons of gang initiations
- 6:16Speaker 1: on Halloween, and I think African-American boys probably participate in that,
- 6:20Speaker 1: as do white boys and many young men. So I
- 6:24Speaker 1: hope we're not canceling that. As a school with a
- 6:28Speaker 1: foundational beliefs around equity for our students and families. See,
- 6:31Speaker 1: this doesn't, I don't even understand what this means here.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Let's get rid of the pumpkin parade event. We're getting
- 6:38Speaker 1: rid of the pumpkin parade and requesting that students do
- 6:42Speaker 1: not come to school in costumes. And I think part
- 6:44Speaker 1: of it is that certain kids don't have money for costumes.
- 6:48Speaker 1: But that was always the way it was. Forever, there's
- 6:52Speaker 1: been Halloween parades where kids would show up and some
- 6:56Speaker 1: of the kids had really cool costumes. Some of the
- 6:59Speaker 1: kids came in with costumes their parents made. And then
- 7:03Speaker 1: there was the dirty kid. There's a kid named Ryan.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I don't want to say his name. He was dirty, filthy.
- 7:10Speaker 1: And he would come in, white guy, Irish kid, and
- 7:14Speaker 1: he would come in filthy. And his parents would just
- 7:16Speaker 1: beat him every day and night. And they would piss
- 7:19Speaker 1: on him. And he never had anything. And he would
- 7:22Speaker 1: come to school and... He always looked, like, high, but
- 7:26Speaker 1: he was never high. But I think he was just
- 7:28Speaker 1: getting beaten so much, and he was malnourished. He used
- 7:31Speaker 1: to eat, like, pixie sticks and Fun Dip. You know,
- 7:33Speaker 1: it was bad. So this kid Ryan would come, and
- 7:36Speaker 1: he'd be embarrassed because he'd be like, oh, it's Halloween.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I don't fucking... I forgot. And it was rough. It
- 7:45Speaker 1: was very sad. But then, like, the teachers would give him, like,
- 7:48Speaker 1: a pumpkin mask so he could do the parade with
- 7:51Speaker 1: everybody else. So this poor kid who smelled like beer
- 7:54Speaker 1: piss from a bar and who was still bloody from
- 7:57Speaker 1: the parents just kicking the shit out of him would
- 7:59Speaker 1: just put on a pumpkin mask and walk away. Why,
- 8:04Speaker 1: if you cancel it, his life's not gonna get better.
- 8:08Speaker 1: That's my point. His life doesn't get better. Ryan's parents
- 8:12Speaker 1: don't decide to love him. They don't even know the
- 8:14Speaker 1: parade's happening. They don't give a shit. So he would
- 8:19Speaker 1: be sad, kind of. He would be sad. I remember
- 8:23Speaker 1: we went to his house once to smoke cigarettes. And
- 8:26Speaker 1: he goes, my house is kind of messy. And I
- 8:27Speaker 1: was like, but I hang out at Rosie's, the crack house,
- 8:29Speaker 1: three doors down from him. He goes, right, right. I'm like,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I don't care. We don't care. But we went in
- 8:34Speaker 1: there and you could see just cereal and bad cigarettes,
- 8:37Speaker 1: like ashtrays overflowing with cigarettes. Like he had a bad life.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Certain kids have a bad life. It's very, very hard,
- 8:44Speaker 1: you know? And he was the type of kid who
- 8:47Speaker 1: they're talking about, like not, not, you know, privileged. didn't
- 8:53Speaker 1: have parents that cared, and didn't show up with the uniform.
- 8:57Speaker 1: You know? I mean, I'm sorry, with the Halloween costume.
- 9:00Speaker 1: He didn't have... So the teachers would, like, give him...
- 9:04Speaker 1: Because they had those little pumpkin masks. They were plastic,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and they would go on.
- 9:10Speaker 2: With the one string?
- 9:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it was one string. It was not a lot.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It wasn't good. But then there was, like... There was
- 9:18Speaker 1: a girl who was, like, 600 pounds. They dressed her
- 9:20Speaker 1: as a princess. Like, her parents brought her in, and
- 9:23Speaker 1: she was just, like, walking around as a princess. And then, like,
- 9:27Speaker 1: most of the kids had masks, right? Cool kids have masks. Like,
- 9:31Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger, like, fuck it. Yeah, we're going to kill you.
- 9:34Speaker 1: It's Halloween. And then, like, the fat girl, like, the
- 9:37Speaker 1: real fat one, her name was Jennifer. She'd go like this. Like,
- 9:41Speaker 1: she would just do this every day with her head.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know why. It might have been a thing,
- 9:45Speaker 1: but she would go like this every day. I know
- 9:46Speaker 1: what you mean. She would just do this every single
- 9:48Speaker 1: day like this. and they put her in a princess
- 9:50Speaker 1: outfit and she would walk like this, and then Ryan,
- 9:53Speaker 1: who smelled like piss, would have his little thing. It
- 9:56Speaker 1: was nice, is my point. It was a nice day.
- 9:59Speaker 1: and you can't ruin this. It's not, you can't take
- 10:03Speaker 1: this away for kids. Not everybody. It's insane. Everyone celebrates Halloween.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Halloween is about eating candy and fucking smashing Fucking car
- 10:18Speaker 1: windows or throwing eggs, shaving cream, vandalism. The idea that
- 10:27Speaker 1: you would just vandalize things. It's a beautiful idea. And
- 10:30Speaker 1: these are people that are pro-vandalism. They love vandalism. Well,
- 10:34Speaker 1: where do you think people get the itch? It starts
- 10:38Speaker 1: with Halloween. They don't just get into Antifa. You start
- 10:42Speaker 1: with Halloween. You do a few, you know, a couple
- 10:45Speaker 1: of eggs, a little shaving cream on the stop sign.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And then you, you know, you graduate to, you know,
- 10:50Speaker 1: federal banks in Portland. But I don't understand why they're
- 10:55Speaker 1: taking this away. Is there any reasoning for this at all?
- 10:57Speaker 1: Is there any reasoning?
- 10:59Speaker 2: They decided to cancel the event this year because it
- 11:00Speaker 2: would be upsetting for children who can't afford a costume.
- 11:02Speaker 2: That's all it is.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But then just buy them costumes, you cheap fucks. Why
- 11:09Speaker 1: not buy them costumes?
- 11:11Speaker 2: Well, also they cite the loud noise levels and crowds
- 11:14Speaker 2: are triggering for some children.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Well, that I agree with. I don't like the noise.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Get rid of it. I do agree with that. I
- 11:20Speaker 1: don't like the noise at all. That's a very good point.
- 11:22Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll have to skip it this year.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Moving on, we have a feel-good story. That's a very
- 11:27Speaker 1: good point. I didn't realize that. They yell and scream.
- 11:29Speaker 1: It is disgusting. We have a feel-good story now coming
- 11:32Speaker 1: out of Austin, Texas. Now, we try to find these stories.
- 11:35Speaker 1: God help us because, as you know, things in the
- 11:37Speaker 1: country are not good. Inflation, the price of a McGriddle
- 11:41Speaker 1: now is, what, $ 38? One McGriddle, $ 38. It's bad. And
- 11:46Speaker 1: the government just keeps telling you that if you complain
- 11:48Speaker 1: about inflation, you're a Nazi white supremacist. And the press
- 11:52Speaker 1: secretary is always like, what is it? I'm sorry that
- 11:55Speaker 1: your gun is costing you too much money this month. Well,
- 11:59Speaker 1: I'm kind of, you know, the chicken wings are they've
- 12:02Speaker 1: gone up. My family likes chicken wings. But the price
- 12:06Speaker 1: of everything is going up. Food and gas and the
- 12:09Speaker 1: supply chains are broken down. Quote, almost everything a person
- 12:13Speaker 1: needs to buy is more expensive. Blame the pandemic. The
- 12:18Speaker 1: supply chains have broken down. We have all kinds of chaos. Now,
- 12:23Speaker 1: can you play the video of this woman? Let's play
- 12:26Speaker 1: this woman who's being interviewed outside a grocery store. There's
- 12:29Speaker 1: nothing better than when you get a person outside of
- 12:32Speaker 1: a grocery store to give an opinion. Quote, everything has
- 12:36Speaker 1: gone sky high from groceries to gas prices skyrocketing and
- 12:40Speaker 1: could get worse.
- 12:42Speaker 5: We go.
- 12:45Speaker 1: More than expected on everything from food to housing to gas.
- 12:49Speaker 2: At this point, it is.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Very hard to ignore.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Everywhere we go, things are more expensive.
- 12:54Speaker 1: So how much more can prices go up and what's
- 12:57Speaker 1: causing this rapid inflation? Tonight, Christina Rex set out to
- 13:01Speaker 1: get some answers.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Prices are ridiculous.
- 13:05Speaker 1: The meat is above and beyond.
- 13:07Speaker 3: All right.
- 13:08Speaker 5: It's gone sky high.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Everything has gone sky high and it's extremely sad. Have
- 13:12Speaker 2: you noticed it too?
- 13:14Speaker 1: The meat is above and beyond. And my husband likes meat.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And I make a meat, and I've made a meat
- 13:22Speaker 1: for my entire life. I brown it with butter in
- 13:27Speaker 1: a pan. And it's sky high now. We eat six
- 13:32Speaker 1: pounds of meat a week, and now I can't afford it.
- 13:37Speaker 1: And I made a salad the other day, and my
- 13:40Speaker 1: husband grabbed me by the throat. And he took my
- 13:43Speaker 1: head and he mushed it. You ever mush someone? He
- 13:46Speaker 1: mushed my face. He didn't hit me, but he mushed me.
- 13:49Speaker 1: He mushed me into the wall. And he said, you
- 13:52Speaker 1: better find a way to make this work. It's sky high. Well,
- 13:55Speaker 1: this woman, I mean, again, they're outside of a store
- 13:58Speaker 1: called Market Basket. God help us. But it's sad because
- 14:03Speaker 1: people need groceries and they're too expensive now. And You know,
- 14:09Speaker 1: it's very unfortunate. All this stuff is going on, and
- 14:13Speaker 1: this is the result of a breakdown in the supply chain.
- 14:20Speaker 1: There's other people blaming the pandemic. They're saying the simplest
- 14:23Speaker 1: explanation is everyone has been cooped up for a year
- 14:25Speaker 1: and not spending as much as they ordinarily would. And
- 14:27Speaker 1: now we all decided at the same time we wanted
- 14:30Speaker 1: to go out and spend money on things, said Tony Cookson,
- 14:33Speaker 1: co-director of the Center for Research on Consumer Financial Decision-Making. Quote,
- 14:39Speaker 1: when we all decide to do that at the same time,
- 14:42Speaker 1: the issue is the economy needs to provide us with
- 14:43Speaker 1: all those goods. We don't have unlimited capacity to do that. Well,
- 14:48Speaker 1: then there's also the thing we have less people working.
- 14:50Speaker 1: You have a lot of people now, and this is
- 14:53Speaker 1: probably a good thing in the long term. They have
- 14:55Speaker 1: more leverage. Workers have more leverage, and they're striking now
- 14:59Speaker 1: because there are less workers. And Kellogg's, you hear about this?
- 15:04Speaker 1: They are striking a cut. Now, I don't know the
- 15:05Speaker 1: specifics of this. I can't imagine I'm going to side
- 15:07Speaker 1: with Kellogg's. But the workers want benefits. They want retirement packages.
- 15:11Speaker 1: They want days off. And Kellogg's cereal is basically coming
- 15:15Speaker 1: out and saying, fuck you. We'll move the jobs to Mexico.
- 15:19Speaker 1: And then denying it. They're saying, we didn't say that.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Find Ben the statement from Kellogg's cereal. Kellogg's put out
- 15:26Speaker 1: a statement. There's people standing in the rain. I believe
- 15:29Speaker 1: it's in Omaha, Nebraska. And they're protesting and they're saying,
- 15:32Speaker 1: we want better hours. We want more money. We want
- 15:36Speaker 1: better benefits. And then Kellogg's has a counterpoint to all that.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And they put out a video where they were just
- 15:41Speaker 1: basically like, what you need to do is keep your
- 15:44Speaker 1: mouth shut.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Is this it right here?
- 15:47Speaker 1: I believe so. Battle Creek, Michigan. Kellogg Company today is
- 15:51Speaker 1: publicly addressing the terms of its master labor contract negotiation
- 15:55Speaker 1: with it. So they're sending out Chris Bonner. Chris Bonner,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I guess, is an executive at.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Is that her? Is she an executive?
- 16:06Speaker 2: It says Kellogg Company spokesperson. This is the person they hired.
- 16:08Speaker 1: She's the spokesperson. She's going to soften the message. Because
- 16:13Speaker 1: the guy, you can't bring out Mr. Kellogg. He'll be like,
- 16:16Speaker 1: fuck these commie faggots. You can't do that. You can't
- 16:21Speaker 1: do that. Put the hoses on them. Turn the hoses.
- 16:24Speaker 1: She's like, let's talk about building a family. Turn the
- 16:27Speaker 1: hoses on. In my day, we had dogs. We took
- 16:31Speaker 1: hoses and sprayed them. So this is Chris Bonner. She's
- 16:36Speaker 1: the spokesperson for the Kellogg's cereal company that is trying
- 16:41Speaker 1: very hard to retain the slave labor.
- 16:50Speaker 8: We value all our employees and recognize their efforts.
- 16:54Speaker 1: First of all, first of all, could anyone look? Couldn't
- 16:59Speaker 1: they have gotten anyone else to do this than this Karen?
- 17:01Speaker 1: Look at this woman. This woman could not effectively communicate anything.
- 17:08Speaker 1: They have billions of dollars and they can't get anyone
- 17:12Speaker 1: better than her. We value all of our employees. Let's
- 17:17Speaker 1: continue this.
- 17:19Speaker 8: Especially during this global pandemic. We are deeply concerned that
- 17:23Speaker 8: the union at our four U.S. cereal plants has decided
- 17:26Speaker 8: to strike and what that means for our employees. Being
- 17:30Speaker 8: away from work puts our people and their families in
- 17:32Speaker 8: a difficult position and can create financial hardships.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And pay them.
- 17:36Speaker 8: Our number one priority is to get back to the
- 17:38Speaker 8: negotiations table and reach a contract so our employees can
- 17:42Speaker 8: get back to their jobs and their lives.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Now, Kellogg's defense, the contract that Kellogg offered was very fair.
- 17:49Speaker 1: You were allowed to use the bathroom twice a week.
- 17:54Speaker 1: This was a fair contract. This is not a bad deal.
- 17:56Speaker 1: It was a 16-hour day. With two breaks, every eight
- 18:01Speaker 1: hours you would take a break. The break was supervised.
- 18:04Speaker 1: You would take a supervised break. And you would take
- 18:07Speaker 1: a break, which I think is nice, at your station.
- 18:11Speaker 1: because when you go outside, they've found, they've done a
- 18:14Speaker 1: lot of studies that going outside has all kinds of
- 18:16Speaker 1: effects on the worker. They see the blue sky and
- 18:20Speaker 1: they get very distracted and it's very triggering. So they
- 18:22Speaker 1: have the break at the station and you have the
- 18:25Speaker 1: break and you stand there silently and it's a supervised
- 18:29Speaker 1: break because they, again, don't want anyone going outside or
- 18:32Speaker 1: making a phone call or calling home or doing anything
- 18:34Speaker 1: that could distract them and every eight hours you get
- 18:36Speaker 1: one of these breaks. Twice a week, you're allowed to
- 18:39Speaker 1: leave your station and use the restroom. For number two.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Number one is a catheter. So whatever you're doing, as
- 18:47Speaker 1: you're toasting the, I don't know what the hell they're doing,
- 18:49Speaker 1: the Special K, as you're toasting the Corn Flakes, oh,
- 18:53Speaker 1: that's General Mills. Kellogg's is what?
- 18:56Speaker 2: Corn Flakes? I think it's Corn Flakes.
- 18:57Speaker 1: No, it might be General Mills. You don't think. Find out.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We're making, we're slandering a company. Let's at least slander
- 19:06Speaker 1: the right one. Hold on, hold on.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Here, I'm on their foods and brands.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Corn Flakes and all kinds of stuff. So as
- 19:17Speaker 1: you're toasting the Corn Flakes, you will use the rest.
- 19:21Speaker 1: You will have a catheter, meaning you will pee, and
- 19:24Speaker 1: then there will be a colostomy bag on your leg
- 19:27Speaker 1: of your, you know, of your, what's the word for piss?
- 19:31Speaker 2: Urine?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Whatever, of your urine on the leg. And it's not
- 19:35Speaker 1: a big deal. Now, in terms of a vacation, In
- 19:38Speaker 1: terms of a vacation, they're offering a vacation at a
- 19:43Speaker 1: Kellogg's approved facility, which will be very similar to a resort.
- 19:48Speaker 1: But you will work during the vacation because it gives
- 19:51Speaker 1: you pride. It gives you dignity. Going to a resort
- 19:56Speaker 1: is undignified, but going to a specialized Kellogg's where you
- 19:59Speaker 1: will work eight hour days as opposed to 16, and
- 20:02Speaker 1: you will then spend time with your family. And they're
- 20:07Speaker 1: throwing in Frosted mini-wheats for the children at the Kellogg's
- 20:13Speaker 1: themed resort. It'll have a pool. It'll have fun history
- 20:19Speaker 1: of Kellogg's stuff on the walls and frosted mini-wheats for
- 20:22Speaker 1: your children. If your children get sick from eating corn
- 20:27Speaker 1: pops or Eggo waffles or any of their products, Fruit Loops.
- 20:32Speaker 1: I love how they have Kashi. They don't even, you know.
- 20:36Speaker 1: But if your kids get sick They will allow you
- 20:41Speaker 1: an hour to take your child to the doctor. Now,
- 20:44Speaker 1: they're not going to pay for it, but if you
- 20:46Speaker 1: can find the money to get your kid to the doctor,
- 20:49Speaker 1: you can leave the facility for one hour. At one
- 20:52Speaker 1: hour and one minute, you will forfeit your pay for
- 20:54Speaker 1: the week. I don't think these are bad terms. Let's
- 20:59Speaker 1: continue with this woman because I think she's fair.
- 21:03Speaker 8: That the union struck without allowing members to vote on
- 21:07Speaker 8: the company's October 1st offer. Kellogg's proposals have been grossly
- 21:12Speaker 8: misrepresented by the union in statements to their membership and
- 21:15Speaker 8: to media. And we want our employees to have all
- 21:18Speaker 8: the information they need.
- 21:19Speaker 1: This is what they're doing. This is the real thing
- 21:22Speaker 1: they're offering. 9% wage increase. For legacy employees. We don't
- 21:27Speaker 1: even know what that means. 9%. Pathway to full legacy
- 21:33Speaker 1: rate and significant increases for transitional employees, which means the
- 21:37Speaker 1: entire company. Transitional employees, like everyone. No change to employees'
- 21:44Speaker 1: current health care plans. Enhanced interrogation. No, I'm kidding. Enhanced
- 21:49Speaker 1: retirement benefits for transitional employees. Increased pension multiplier.
- 21:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:56Speaker 1: No proposals related to continuous crew or alternative work schedules.
- 22:00Speaker 1: One week paid time off at vacation rate. One week.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Not bad. Not bad. One week paid time off. Which
- 22:15Speaker 1: you can spend going to the doctor with your kids.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Because let's finish this woman.
- 22:23Speaker 8: Need to make informed decisions. for themselves and their families.
- 22:27Speaker 8: Let's start with what we are not doing. Kellogg is
- 22:30Speaker 8: not asking employees to give up healthcare, retirement benefits, or
- 22:34Speaker 8: holiday and vacation pay. The fact is, we're proud that
- 22:38Speaker 8: most employees working under this contract have industry-leading pay and benefits,
- 22:43Speaker 8: and all have above-market wages and retirement. In fact, The
- 22:47Speaker 8: average 2020 earnings for the majority of our hourly serial
- 22:50Speaker 8: employees was $ 120, 000 per year. That's a complete lie. And
- 22:54Speaker 8: more than a third earned.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Between $ 120, 000. The math done to get to that. We're
- 23:02Speaker 1: all supposed to believe that a bunch of people making $ 120, 000
- 23:03Speaker 1: a year are... incensed, which is a complete lie. She goes,
- 23:09Speaker 1: the average 2020 earnings for our hourly Kellogg's employees, meaning
- 23:13Speaker 1: they're averaging like five people who have been there forever
- 23:15Speaker 1: who they actually pay with everyone else. But there's no
- 23:18Speaker 1: way that's the case. There's no way that a bunch
- 23:20Speaker 1: of people are making $ 120, 000 a year in the Kellogg's
- 23:22Speaker 1: factory and they're all striking right now. There's just such
- 23:26Speaker 1: a lot. Can you imagine that?
- 23:28Speaker 2: In Kansas, making $ 120, 000 an hour.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Our average hourly employee earns $ 5 million a year. We
- 23:35Speaker 1: have industry-leading pay. That can't be true.
- 23:41Speaker 8: 8,000 and 200,000. Most also have unparalleled, no-cost, comprehensive health insurance,
- 23:49Speaker 8: meaning they pay nothing for their health care. No premiums,
- 23:52Speaker 8: no deductibles, nothing. Less senior employees have the same health
- 23:56Speaker 8: insurance plan that all our salaried employees have. except they
- 24:00Speaker 8: pay much lower employee contributions than the rest of us.
- 24:03Speaker 8: A construct that was agreed upon with the union.
- 24:05Speaker 1: So why are they doing this? Are they sociopaths? What
- 24:09Speaker 1: are they doing? Why are they doing it? Have they
- 24:11Speaker 1: lost their minds? I don't, you know?
- 24:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 24:16Speaker 1: What are they doing? Free healthcare, 120 grand a year.
- 24:20Speaker 1: It sounds great.
- 24:21Speaker 5: Right.
- 24:22Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Let's go to the employee.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Can we get a Kellogg employee? who's probably just going
- 24:28Speaker 1: to be full of scabs and bleeding.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Yeah, let's find an employee.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Just some Vietnam veteran sitting there in a wheelchair, just
- 24:35Speaker 1: fucking bleeding, screaming about Rice Krispie treats.
- 24:39Speaker 2: One of them has to be on YouTube, right?
- 24:41Speaker 1: There's got to be a Kellogg employee explaining what's going on.
- 24:44Speaker 1: We got, you know, unless Kellogg's trying, yeah.
- 24:46Speaker 9: Oh, here we go.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 24:48Speaker 10: Well, this morning, Kellogg is no longer making cereal.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Workers have voted to strike last night.
- 24:53Speaker 3: This strike went into effect at midnight after the union's
- 24:55Speaker 3: five-year contract with the company expired. News 8's Dana White
- 24:59Speaker 3: is live outside the Battle Creek Kellogg facility now with
- 25:02Speaker 3: a deeper look into this dispute.
- 25:05Speaker 6: Emily Donovan, good morning. Members of the union voted on
- 25:08Speaker 6: this strike yesterday after negotiations between them and Kellogg went through.
- 25:14Speaker 6: You can see that we have buses of employees coming
- 25:17Speaker 6: here this morning and the members of the strike are
- 25:20Speaker 6: not letting up. The contract for all facilities expired at
- 25:24Speaker 6: midnight and there is no new one in place. According
- 25:27Speaker 6: to the union's website, there are still some issues to
- 25:30Speaker 6: resolve in the most recent offer from Kellogg, including the
- 25:33Speaker 6: elimination of cost of living adjustments, the creation of permanent
- 25:37Speaker 6: transitional positions, no full-time benefits for those permanent workers, an
- 25:41Speaker 6: adjustment to the PTO policy, a holiday pay change, and
- 25:45Speaker 6: a plan to remove all union logos from products. We
- 25:49Speaker 6: spoke with one of the strike leaders this morning.
- 25:52Speaker 9: Everybody in this plant makes incredible sacrifices that most people
- 25:56Speaker 9: wouldn't understand. They work eight days a week, at least.
- 26:01Speaker 9: And that's months on end without a scheduled day off.
- 26:03Speaker 9: I mean, some people in the plant don't have a
- 26:06Speaker 9: scheduled day off for the entire year. So we're not
- 26:11Speaker 9: willing to accept that anymore.
- 26:14Speaker 6: Union leaders also allege that the most recent contract proposal
- 26:18Speaker 6: was never presented to the negotiating committee. They say their
- 26:22Speaker 6: committee is still at the table and that Kellogg sent
- 26:24Speaker 6: home its negotiators before posting the current offer. We reached
- 26:28Speaker 6: out to Kellogg.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Now there's no cereal because these people want to see
- 26:33Speaker 1: their kids. How lazy are these people? What's going to
- 26:38Speaker 1: happen if someone wants cereal? Do people not understand morality
- 26:46Speaker 1: and what's morally right and what's morally wrong? It is
- 26:49Speaker 1: not right to strike and deprive people of frosted mini-wheats
- 26:54Speaker 1: because you think you need to go and see your
- 26:58Speaker 1: children for a day. So there's a guy standing in
- 27:03Speaker 1: a storm. And this has gone viral. Image of Kellogg's
- 27:08Speaker 1: worker picketing in 3 a.m. storm goes viral. Well, these
- 27:12Speaker 1: are the things I don't... This is like when you
- 27:14Speaker 1: find the kid, you know, the drone strike. They show
- 27:17Speaker 1: the kid in the drone strike. And they go, this
- 27:19Speaker 1: is why we have to fight ISIS because... And you go, what?
- 27:23Speaker 3: Um.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I do like the Tony the Tiger, I'm greedy sign.
- 27:27Speaker 1: It is fun because you know what you can do
- 27:29Speaker 1: here with the strike? You can have a lot of
- 27:32Speaker 1: fun with the mascots. You can have a lot of
- 27:34Speaker 1: fun with the mascots. Like there should be a mini-wheat
- 27:38Speaker 1: with the hammer and sickle. You know, the communist hammer
- 27:42Speaker 1: and sickle? There should be a mini-wheat doing that. Dress
- 27:46Speaker 1: up a mini-wheat as Joseph Stalin. If they're not dressing
- 27:51Speaker 1: up mini-wheats as Joseph Stalin... The Rice Krispie, what are they, elves?
- 27:58Speaker 2: They're elves, yeah.
- 27:59Speaker 1: The Rice Krispie elves should be painted killing executives, like
- 28:10Speaker 1: cutting the throats of executives. The Fruit Loops Toucan, Toucan Sam,
- 28:17Speaker 1: Toucan Sam should have his arm around Mao Zedong. This
- 28:22Speaker 1: is fun. This is good. This gets people thinking because
- 28:27Speaker 1: you start going, oh, this is interesting. Even the mascots
- 28:30Speaker 1: are getting involved. A lot of the problem is I
- 28:32Speaker 1: don't care about any of those people. You know the
- 28:34Speaker 1: people with the signs? Who gives a shit? I don't
- 28:36Speaker 1: know them. But if all the mascots got together, the son,
- 28:40Speaker 1: Tony the Tiger, those twinks who make Rice Krispie Treats,
- 28:44Speaker 1: And the Corn Flakes chicken, if they all, or Rooster,
- 28:47Speaker 1: he's a rooster, whatever. His gender's none of my business.
- 28:50Speaker 1: If they all got together and explicitly, if there was
- 28:54Speaker 1: artwork of them killing executives, burning their houses down, you know,
- 29:00Speaker 1: that to me would be a little exciting. I'd want
- 29:03Speaker 1: to get more on board. Yes. You know? Get a
- 29:06Speaker 1: picture of Joseph Stalin. Get a picture of Stalin. Now
- 29:10Speaker 1: let's imagine, get a nice picture.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Of Stalin.
- 29:15Speaker 2: I like this one. This one's good.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Make that, give the Raisin Bran son, put the Raisin
- 29:24Speaker 1: Bran son as Stalin. That's my point. Better help. People
- 29:33Speaker 1: are sad. People are tense, they're anxious. The world is

- 32:55Speaker 1: where I live. It is a beautiful place. It is
- 32:59Speaker 1: the epicenter of comedy in America. There's nothing. funnier than Austin, Texas.
- 33:08Speaker 1: There's nothing funnier. When you land there, it is funny.
- 33:12Speaker 1: I mean, you laugh from when your feet leave the
- 33:16Speaker 1: plane to when you walk back on the plane. It's funny.
- 33:20Speaker 1: I mean, it's just hilarious. It's hilarious. Even the shootings,
- 33:24Speaker 1: and there's many of them, are funny. Even the people
- 33:27Speaker 1: that attack you in the street, it's funny. They do

- 33:36Speaker 1: It's funny. It's fun. And every now and then, because
- 33:42Speaker 1: so much of the news is sad, so much of
- 33:43Speaker 1: the news is sad. The Kellogg's company going to war
- 33:47Speaker 1: with the people that make cereal. I didn't even know
- 33:49Speaker 1: you needed to. I thought cereal just kind of happened.
- 33:53Speaker 1: But apparently there's people doing it. It's crazy. So this
- 34:00Speaker 1: is just a feel-good story. This is a light, fun story.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Sometimes we do things on the show that have a dark,
- 34:06Speaker 1: there's a darkness to them. This is not that. This
- 34:09Speaker 1: is light, fluffy fun. And it's beautiful. I want you
- 34:14Speaker 1: to watch this because it is truly, it's just a
- 34:19Speaker 1: great story about human beings just having fun and doing
- 34:24Speaker 1: good stuff.
- 34:28Speaker 5: This is body cam video from Star Flight senior flight
- 34:32Speaker 5: nurse Jennifer Roberts. Among those she rescued Thursday from a
- 34:38Speaker 5: swollen Blanco River in San Marcos was Frank Fell.
- 34:42Speaker 11: She was so in control that I just felt it
- 34:44Speaker 11: was relaxing to know they were there because up until
- 34:47Speaker 11: that point we were pretty sure we weren't going to
- 34:49Speaker 11: make it.
- 34:50Speaker 5: Friday I showed Roberts what Frank had to say.
- 34:52Speaker 4: It means a lot. We often don't get to meet
- 34:55Speaker 4: anybody after the fact or hear how people do or anything,
- 34:58Speaker 4: and so it's really nice to hear those comments.
- 35:02Speaker 5: The call for Starflight to head to San Marcos came
- 35:05Speaker 5: after stormwaters rushed down the Blanco River and into transient campsites.
- 35:10Speaker 5: So this is a beautiful story.
- 35:13Speaker 1: The rivers are now... biblically washing the homeless down the
- 35:19Speaker 1: river in Austin. The homeless that live on the riverbed
- 35:23Speaker 1: are being washed away by the rivers. And their homes
- 35:31Speaker 1: are being washed down the rivers. And don't think too
- 35:35Speaker 1: much about that. That's not what the story is about.
- 35:37Speaker 1: The story is about these first responders who then rescued
- 35:43Speaker 1: one of the people.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Frank Fowle.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Frank I don't know what happened to the others. I'm
- 35:47Speaker 1: sure they are fine. One of the homeless people, one
- 35:51Speaker 1: or two of them were rescued, so we're focusing on that.
- 35:55Speaker 1: We're just kind of... We don't want to get into...
- 35:57Speaker 1: We don't know what happened to the rest of them.
- 36:00Speaker 1: But there was a transient community of homeless people, but
- 36:03Speaker 1: we're saying transient. And this is... It's just another example
- 36:08Speaker 1: of that we're just... We're absolutely living in hell. This
- 36:12Speaker 1: is the idea of a feel-good story. That the river
- 36:16Speaker 1: is washing away the homeless and that first responders ended
- 36:21Speaker 1: up saving one of them. And this is a great
- 36:24Speaker 1: occasion for all of us. We should all rejoice that
- 36:28Speaker 1: a first responder went and saved a homeless guy who
- 36:31Speaker 1: was living down by the riverbed... Here, let's finish this.
- 36:37Speaker 5: Into the muddy riverbank.
- 36:39Speaker 11: It stopped raining and we thought it was over. And
- 36:42Speaker 11: the next thing we knew, we heard a noise and
- 36:44Speaker 11: we didn't know what it was. And we looked out
- 36:46Speaker 11: and there was just a wall of water coming.
- 36:48Speaker 5: When the helicopter arrived, the crew quickly realized this was
- 36:51Speaker 5: not going to be a typical rescue mission.
- 36:54Speaker 4: We knew there were four people. That's about all the
- 36:55Speaker 4: information that we had, four people that need to be rescued.
- 36:59Speaker 4: When we got overhead, it was apparent that not only
- 37:01Speaker 4: were there four people, but there was also four people
- 37:04Speaker 4: with some belongings that were clearly very important to them
- 37:08Speaker 4: and a dog. And then when I got down there,
- 37:10Speaker 4: I found out there was also a puppy involved.
- 37:12Speaker 5: This is that puppy, alive and well.
- 37:16Speaker 10: Yay!
- 37:16Speaker 1: Woo!
- 37:16Speaker 4: Fuck yeah!
- 37:23Speaker 1: We're killing it. Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas. How fucking cool
- 37:30Speaker 1: is that? Come live by the river. Bring your pup.
- 37:35Speaker 1: And it's going to work out. Because this bitch may
- 37:37Speaker 1: save you. It just feels good. I like when things
- 37:43Speaker 1: feel good. And this just makes me happy. It makes
- 37:49Speaker 1: me happy.
- 37:52Speaker 5: Now.
- 37:54Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin this by asking what happens
- 37:57Speaker 1: to the people now. Do they go work at the
- 38:02Speaker 1: Kellogg's factory? What happens to these people?
- 38:08Speaker 2: They return to a new camp under the Highway 80 bridge.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Well, that's a happy ending. That's a happy ending. So
- 38:18Speaker 1: you're telling me the people they rescued went back under
- 38:21Speaker 1: the bridge.
- 38:21Speaker 2: That's what it says.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Well, this is good. This is beautiful. I was thinking
- 38:27Speaker 1: it was going to be something heartless, but they're back
- 38:30Speaker 1: right under the bridge, which is if you remember where
- 38:33Speaker 1: this all started. Now, so what do you think? Do
- 38:41Speaker 1: you think they give him a shower or anything or
- 38:43Speaker 1: not really?
- 38:44Speaker 2: They probably give him a new tent, right?
- 38:47Speaker 1: And then they put them back under the bridge.
- 38:49Speaker 2: That's what it's saying here. It's saying they returned under
- 38:51Speaker 2: the bridge and.
- 38:54Speaker 2: These were all smashed and scattered into a muddy riverbank.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I know. It's like, what are you going to do
- 39:00Speaker 1: with them? I mean, that's the real issue. I'm not,
- 39:02Speaker 1: I can't take them in. But this is the question.
- 39:11Speaker 1: I hope that, but this is just going to keep happening.
- 39:14Speaker 1: It seems like it's not a great solution to just
- 39:16Speaker 1: put them back under the bridge. But what do I know?
- 39:22Speaker 1: but this is a feel-good story. This is what I
- 39:26Speaker 1: mean about the feel-good stories. They're not going to be
- 39:31Speaker 1: like they were in the old days. You know? No,
- 39:34Speaker 1: you're not going to have that. This isn't a story
- 39:37Speaker 1: about a guy who beat cancer. This is a story
- 39:40Speaker 1: about people that were living under a bridge that were
- 39:43Speaker 1: saved from a flood that have then gone back to
- 39:46Speaker 1: live under the bridge. That's the story. And they're happy.
- 39:51Speaker 1: The guy's going, thank God. We didn't know we were
- 39:54Speaker 1: going to make it.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Very thankful, yeah.
- 39:56Speaker 1: He goes, we thought we weren't going to make it,
- 39:59Speaker 1: but thank God that we were saved and are now
- 40:02Speaker 1: being deposited back under the bridge. And then hopefully... It
- 40:11Speaker 1: was a team effort, according to Roberts, who added, after
- 40:14Speaker 1: they returned to Austin, they had only one quick moment
- 40:16Speaker 1: to reflect on the rescue. That's because the next call
- 40:18Speaker 1: for help Could be a moment away. Well, good for her.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Good for her. This is a great system, I think.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Because everyone can be a hero. She can be a hero.
- 40:35Speaker 1: It's important. You need heroes, and you need people to
- 40:41Speaker 1: rescue people. Where is that thing you sent me about
- 40:45Speaker 1: the Austin crime? There's just, after like, what is it,
- 40:49Speaker 1: after 8 p.m. in Austin, it just turns into a rape-a-thon?
- 40:53Speaker 2: It seems to be a new segment they're doing called
- 40:55Speaker 2: like Austin After Hours.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Austin After Dark. And that doesn't mean like,
- 41:00Speaker 1: you're the fiddle player. It means just straight up like
- 41:03Speaker 1: the streets will run with blood. I had no idea
- 41:07Speaker 1: how dangerous Austin, Texas was. It's like insanely dangerous. After
- 41:13Speaker 1: 9 p.m., the streets in Austin run with blood.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Hold on, I think our internet went down. God damn it.
- 41:21Speaker 1: The internet went down at the temporary studio? How's it
- 41:25Speaker 1: coming with our new studio, by the way? How's the
- 41:29Speaker 1: new studio coming with our idiot realtor? Hey, guys, my
- 41:34Speaker 1: wife's having a baby. Hey, who gives a fuck? No
- 41:37Speaker 1: one cares, this big, dumb idiot. Because our business manager,
- 41:41Speaker 1: who is.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I want to be respectful, but he's mentally retarded. Every
- 41:49Speaker 1: friend he has or connection he has is a bigger
- 41:51Speaker 1: loser than him, amazingly. So he sets us up with
- 41:55Speaker 1: this frat boy retard who's like, my wife's having a baby.
- 42:02Speaker 1: He shows us a unit. I'm not saying you have
- 42:05Speaker 1: to know who I am, but Google me if you
- 42:07Speaker 1: have a client. I'm like, yeah, my new building. There's
- 42:09Speaker 1: a lot of these whores running around. He's like, are
- 42:10Speaker 1: you single? That could be pretty good. Yeah! It's like,
- 42:14Speaker 1: all right, buddy, will you calm it down? We're not
- 42:16Speaker 1: playing beer pong here, okay? But again, it's this frat
- 42:19Speaker 1: boy kind of jovial horse shit that, you know, so
- 42:23Speaker 1: we go to a unit with this guy, right?
- 42:25Speaker 2: That's correct, yeah.
- 42:26Speaker 1: And then we find out, we say we'll take it,
- 42:28Speaker 1: and then what does he say?
- 42:30Speaker 2: He says it's not available.
- 42:31Speaker 1: That's right. So he's wasting our time, he's wasting his time. Now,
- 42:36Speaker 1: do you realize how low on the totem pole you
- 42:38Speaker 1: have to be to be showing office space in L.A.?
- 42:41Speaker 1: I mean, this is the capital of the single-family home.
- 42:44Speaker 1: If you want to make some fucking money, you go
- 42:46Speaker 1: sling some bedrooms and bathrooms. But this guy is showing
- 42:51Speaker 1: office space. No one even wants to go back into
- 42:55Speaker 1: the office anymore, and he's showing office space. And he
- 43:00Speaker 1: was recommended by our business manager. I mean... I just
- 43:06Speaker 1: don't understand. I'm losing my patience. We're trying to get
- 43:10Speaker 1: a real studio. Am I wrong? No, you're right. To
- 43:13Speaker 1: lose my patience?
- 43:14Speaker 2: No, we thought we had the studio.
- 43:15Speaker 1: We thought we had it. I'm sorry. Should I not
- 43:17Speaker 1: be talking about this publicly? I'm not mentioning his name,
- 43:20Speaker 1: but the slob who manages our money has got to
- 43:23Speaker 1: stop connecting us with his near-do-well deadbeat friends. It's not
- 43:29Speaker 1: my fault that everyone you know is the lowest person
- 43:31Speaker 1: in every industry. Can you fucking please get one decent
- 43:35Speaker 1: connection that you can hook us up with? I mean,
- 43:39Speaker 1: Christ almighty. I mean, it's like enough already. And him,
- 43:44Speaker 1: I got to get on you because you're so sweet.
- 43:47Speaker 1: I always have to be the bad guy because you're like, hi, hi,
- 43:54Speaker 1: do we have the.
- 43:56Speaker 1: I got to call up like a big fat cunt
- 43:58Speaker 1: and scream to get something done. Here's the Austin after hours.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Police watching late night clubs. So this is like, again,
- 44:06Speaker 1: if you're going to have a bachelorette party, go down
- 44:09Speaker 1: to Austin. This is the place. You're going to love it,
- 44:12Speaker 1: you fat bachelorette. Don't go to Nashville. Come down here.
- 44:15Speaker 1: This is what's waiting for you in Austin. I will
- 44:17Speaker 1: not rest until the city of Austin is condemned. Austin
- 44:26Speaker 1: After Hours, patrolling the entertainment industry.
- 44:32Speaker 12: To learn more about what's driving it, our team went
- 44:35Speaker 12: out this past weekend with APD's downtown patrol officers.
- 44:38Speaker 3: And they tell KXAN investigator Kevin Clark they're getting more
- 44:41Speaker 3: calls after the bars close.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Everybody's realizing how horrible it is. This is why there's
- 44:46Speaker 1: violent crime. People are realizing how bad it is and
- 44:49Speaker 1: they're angry and they can't kill Elon Musk, so they
- 44:52Speaker 1: have to kill who's ever in their vicinity. They've all
- 44:55Speaker 1: been sold this bill of goods. They go down there
- 44:58Speaker 1: and they're like, it's not even fun. It isn't fun.
- 45:03Speaker 1: And they're just all drugged up. And they've got a
- 45:06Speaker 1: loaded gun on them because it's America. And they just
- 45:09Speaker 1: start fucking going crazy. Let's continue this.
- 45:15Speaker 10: And at 118 Saturday morning, Sergeant Garibay started running.
- 45:20Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 45:21Speaker 10: With KXAN investigators right behind.
- 45:23Speaker 1: One male victim.
- 45:24Speaker 10: Three blocks from the heart of the 6th Street Entertainment District,
- 45:30Speaker 10: where thousands were gathered, was a 17-year-old in critical condition.
- 45:35Speaker 10: He later died at the hospital.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Let me get some crime scene tape.
- 45:37Speaker 10: Police say it came after a gun battle between two groups,
- 45:41Speaker 10: which prompted an officer to fire their own weapon.
- 45:43Speaker 5: Here's the crime scene, sir.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 45:46Speaker 10: For Sergeant Garibay and other downtown patrols, the night can
- 45:49Speaker 10: change in an instant. Two hours earlier, he told me this.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Based on the crowd right now, I think we're going
- 45:54Speaker 1: to have a happy crowd with a few disturbances.
- 45:58Speaker 4: That's my forecast for tonight.
- 46:01Speaker 10: We initially came out with police because of their concern
- 46:04Speaker 10: over after-hours clubs. One of them we told you about
- 46:07Speaker 10: is Tellers, which police described as the site of violent
- 46:10Speaker 10: offenses from assaults, robberies, and even shootings. APD has written
- 46:14Speaker 10: 47 crime reports tied to the Trinity Street address so
- 46:17Speaker 10: far in 2021, more than the previous three years combined.
- 46:21Speaker 4: That was a bar that typically generated a lot of
- 46:23Speaker 4: calls for us after bar hours.
- 46:26Speaker 2: A lot of disturbances, you know, that took place in.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Front of the bars. Well, whatever. I'm not trying to,
- 46:32Speaker 1: I don't care about after hours stuff. I'm not trying
- 46:33Speaker 1: to get somebody in trouble here. What I'm trying to
- 46:36Speaker 1: say is that this city is just always on the brink.
- 46:43Speaker 1: It's always on the brink of exploding in gunfire every night.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I mean, God, we got hoodwinked. How do we get
- 46:54Speaker 1: hoodwinked like this? You're supposed to look out for me,
- 46:58Speaker 1: and you don't. I let you down. You let me
- 47:00Speaker 1: down big time. You should have told me. You got
- 47:02Speaker 1: excited to go back to Texas. A little bit. Yeah,
- 47:05Speaker 1: you did. Because people like you, down deep, You know,
- 47:12Speaker 1: it's your culture. It's not my culture. You know?
- 47:14Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 47:15Speaker 1: It's not my culture. It's your culture. You know? I'm not,
- 47:21Speaker 1: you know, like, I appreciate all the cultural experiences. I mean,
- 47:25Speaker 1: you had cops at your wedding. You had police at
- 47:28Speaker 1: your wedding.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Sheriffs.
- 47:29Speaker 1: You had sheriffs at the wedding making sure people didn't
- 47:32Speaker 1: drink too much. That's not my culture. It's not my culture.
- 47:38Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with it. I'm happy. I enjoyed your wedding.
- 47:41Speaker 1: It was very nice. Thank you. It was very sweet.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Thank you. But this is just a different way of
- 47:46Speaker 1: life for me and for a lot of people that
- 47:51Speaker 1: we know. But there's something about you that you also
- 47:58Speaker 1: realize that this is not good. You must leave. It's horrible.
- 48:05Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's terrible. You know? You have to not
- 48:09Speaker 1: do this, you know? And I know that people like
- 48:14Speaker 1: you see a value in it because you're animals. But
- 48:21Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 48:22Speaker 2: Well, part of you wants to go back to Long Island.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Part of me wanted to go back to Texas.
- 48:25Speaker 1: That's right. But Long Island's a beautiful place of amazing people.
- 48:32Speaker 1: That's the difference. Do you understand the difference? There's a
- 48:35Speaker 1: huge difference between me wanting to do that and you wanting,
- 48:40Speaker 1: you know? At your wedding, a woman gave birth. A
- 48:45Speaker 1: woman gave birth. Your sister gave birth at your wedding.
- 48:52Speaker 1: And it made people, it made me uncomfortable.
- 48:57Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 48:58Speaker 1: And no one cared. And the baby came out bloody,
- 49:05Speaker 1: full of afterbirth, and it just started eating a rib.
- 49:10Speaker 1: It's not right. It's a weird life. That's all I'm saying.
- 49:16Speaker 1: It's strange. And you made us move there. Because you're
- 49:22Speaker 1: listening to Joe Rogan. I had no part in this.
- 49:28Speaker 1: You said it's going to be good for your comedy
- 49:30Speaker 1: career to move down there. That's why you made us move.
- 49:35Speaker 1: You said, I'm going to do comedy at Joe Rogan's
- 49:38Speaker 1: new club.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That's right.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:43Speaker 2: I just dragged you kicking and screaming the whole way.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be funny if you opened a club called Vaccines?
- 49:50Speaker 1: That would be funny. It was just called Vaccines. You know?
- 49:57Speaker 1: That would be fun. I'd work there. Ship Station. Online

- 54:30Speaker 5: Right?
- 54:31Speaker 2: That's right.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Because he's had a rough time, remember? Because he tried
- 54:33Speaker 1: to kill his friend. Now, and there's nothing wrong with that.
- 54:37Speaker 1: I'm not mad at him for that. Who cares? You
- 54:42Speaker 1: threw your friend off a, what are you, put him
- 54:44Speaker 1: on a parachute or something? And whatever, the guy hit
- 54:46Speaker 1: the water at the wrong angle. He thought he was dead.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Shut up. Everyone's a puss. So, we'll do it, gave
- 54:52Speaker 1: David Dobrik a Tesla. Because it's nice.

- 55:50Speaker 1: He loves cigarettes. But then he quits and he goes back.
- 55:54Speaker 1: So go there. Steve Will Do It is YouTube channel.
- 55:58Speaker 1: That's S-T-E-V-E-W-I-L-L-D-O-I-T. You got to spell it out. Steve Will
- 56:04Speaker 1: Do It on YouTube. I think these Nell kids are
- 56:10Speaker 1: really helping out because... They are teaching young people that
- 56:16Speaker 1: life is about getting drunk and using drugs and having
- 56:23Speaker 1: sex and partying. And I think we've gone so far away.
- 56:29Speaker 1: We've gone so far into that other thing where everybody's
- 56:35Speaker 1: thinking and they're so annoying. There's something really beautiful about...
- 56:41Speaker 1: the NELC brand of how to live your life. NELC
- 56:45Speaker 1: is a way to live your life. It's a way
- 56:48Speaker 1: to live your life. Now you have to stop doing
- 56:51Speaker 1: that eventually because you're going to die.
- 56:54Speaker 4: Right.
- 56:55Speaker 1: You're going to die.
- 56:56Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 56:57Speaker 1: But the good news is fuck.
- 57:00Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 57:02Speaker 1: Fuck. Yeah. You're going to die. So Steve will do it. LLC.
- 57:07Speaker 1: We love him. He's a fan of the show. We've
- 57:09Speaker 1: never met him. We had one dinner with these people
- 57:12Speaker 1: and he chose not to show up, but that's okay.
- 57:15Speaker 1: I don't know what he was doing. Brushing his teeth
- 57:18Speaker 1: or something. I don't know, but he didn't come. But
- 57:25Speaker 1: it's fun. They're a great group. I'm a fan of
- 57:30Speaker 1: the NELC philosophy on life, which is like, hey, who
- 57:36Speaker 1: cares where your shoe is? It doesn't matter that you're failing.
- 57:42Speaker 1: That's their philosophy. Who cares about your shoe? Your mother's
- 57:47Speaker 1: a stupid bitch. What was she going to do with
- 57:51Speaker 1: that money anyway? She's spending the money on your college,
- 57:55Speaker 1: but what was that dumb whore going to do with it?
- 57:58Speaker 1: Who cares? Your academic advisor can go fuck himself. That
- 58:04Speaker 1: guy's a loser. He keeps running his fucking mouth. Maybe
- 58:08Speaker 1: you'll just beat his ass. Beat his ass, bro. Break
- 58:13Speaker 1: your academic advisor's neck if he tells you. And fuck
- 58:18Speaker 1: your doctor, too, this fucking cuck who tells you that
- 58:21Speaker 1: you have cancer of the liver now. It doesn't matter.
- 58:26Speaker 1: Sometimes people throw up blood. It's part of life. You know?
- 58:31Speaker 1: And I think that's a decent philosophy on life. Fuck
- 58:37Speaker 1: your mom. Fuck the cops. You can handle it. Seven
- 58:42Speaker 1: beers deep, you can handle driving to another bar. It's
- 58:46Speaker 1: not a big deal. You understand?
- 58:49Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very forgiving of people's pasts.
- 58:53Speaker 1: It's old school Christianity.
- 58:55Speaker 5: Yes.
- 58:55Speaker 1: Really?
- 58:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 58:57Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what I think of when I think of NELC.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Like an old school Christianity. I talk to guys in
- 59:09Speaker 1: college sometimes. because I want to have sex with them.
- 59:11Speaker 1: And all of them, they always say to me, like,
- 59:12Speaker 1: get me, FaceTime me with Steve, we'll do it. That's
- 59:16Speaker 1: all they want. That's all they want is to talk
- 59:18Speaker 1: to Steve, we'll do it. That's literally all they want
- 59:20Speaker 1: to do. That's their entire life. It's amazing.
- 59:23Speaker 2: He's a cool guy.
- 59:24Speaker 1: He's a very cool guy. We haven't met him. Hopefully
- 59:27Speaker 1: we'll meet him. Steve will do it on YouTube we're
- 59:32Speaker 1: not doing the smiley face killer episode we went to
- 59:35Speaker 1: interview one of these people an academic about the smiley
- 59:39Speaker 1: face killer he was mentally unwell and we're not putting
- 59:44Speaker 1: the episode out because maybe these kids are getting thrown
- 59:46Speaker 1: into rivers they probably are but God help them the
- 59:50Speaker 1: people that are trying to figure out what's going on
- 59:53Speaker 1: have been trying since 2006 and they're all frauds and
- 59:57Speaker 1: this guy was mentally ill He said, do you want
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: to speak to my girlfriend? She has a gift of prophecy.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: We went all the way to fucking some fucking horrible town.
- 1:00:05Speaker 6: Ugh.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: So we're not putting the episode out.
- 1:00:09Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: We're not putting it out.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: Yeah, big waste of time.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: It was a huge waste of time, which again, you did.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: You got to vet these people. You have to vet them.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: We tried. Should we play a minute of it for everyone?
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't mixed the episode. I think I
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: have it somewhere.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Let me see. Play a minute of this mental patient
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: that we had to suffer through.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: I got it on my external.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Let me grab it. Hold on. We go there, and
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: the guy's confused. He's out of it. The smiley face
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: killer theory is these young, athletic, college-aged males end up
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: in the river. Some of it maybe they fell in,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: but they think it's some cult or something. So we
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: go down there to interview this old guy, and he
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: kind of confesses to it. He literally said, I predict
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: where they're going to be, and I make sure I
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: go to the ATM and get money out so they
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: don't think I'm doing it. Every three hours. What the
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: fuck's this? So let's play a minute or two of
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: this so you can see how crazy he is. So that...
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: You know, you can understand why we can't put this out.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: We're trying to do a fun Halloween episode.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Okay, so I have his audio. So let's just play
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: his audio. I haven't mixed the episode.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: Yeah, just go to the middle of it or something. Okay,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: here we go.
- 1:01:29Speaker 12: After about 45 minutes, I said... You know, people who
- 1:01:34Speaker 12: are unemployed or in and out of work, retired, it
- 1:01:40Speaker 12: seems to be.
- 1:01:43Speaker 12: Just like any other cult.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: Have you guys ever spoken to somebody who was a
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: member of the group or an ex-member of the group
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: or anything like that?
- 1:01:53Speaker 12: We have, and of course, we've certainly protected their identity.
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: But they haven't.
- 1:02:01Speaker 12: In the past, there's... Have you spoken to an actual
- 1:02:04Speaker 12: ex-member of the group that's carrying these things out?
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Okay. Yes, we have. He's nuts, this guy. Yeah.
- 1:02:12Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Yeah, we have.
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: Should I skip around one more time?
- 1:02:16Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:02:17Speaker 12: That stood out to me, especially as it started to
- 1:02:19Speaker 12: spread out across the United States. If I were to
- 1:02:24Speaker 12: take the profile, and you can go online, just pick
- 1:02:29Speaker 12: any one of these young men.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: He's going into Facebook now, and I can't even deal
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: with it. Well, we flew there to interview this guy
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: that's been working on this case since 2006. We go,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: do you have any motive? And he goes, we're not
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: releasing the motive. And I go, why are you not
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: releasing the motive? He goes, well, then there'll be copycat killings.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, there's already copycat killings. And what
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: do you mean the motive, dummy? Nobody's ever copied a
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: fucking motive. So he refused to talk about the motive.
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: The guy was a sweet man, but he's senile.
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: He didn't want to give away the symbols? The motive.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: The whole thing's the smiley face killer. You gave away
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: the symbol. But I think it's these detectives that, like,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: they fill these families with hope, and then, because there
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: are shady, these drownings are shady. You know, these don't
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: make any sense. So these, like, goons from New York.
- 1:03:27Speaker 7: The detectives, they're like, hey, your son ended up in
- 1:03:30Speaker 7: the water. I'm going to solve the case. I'm going
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: to solve the case.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of work. I need money. Can
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: you give me money? And then I'll make all the
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: bad people pay. And then the families give these dirtbags money,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: and then they just, these dirtbag detectives buy Chinese food
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: with it. And they did a show on the Oxygen
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Network where they're exploiting the deaths of these people. And
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: they have absolutely no leads. They have nothing going on.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: And instead of investigating it, they're just eating egg rolls
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: in New York. We do it. Can you play the,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: please play, can we play the Oxygen Network trailer?
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Play the trailer for this hunk of shit that Oxygen
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Network did with these three goons claiming that they know
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: about the smiley face killers. Oh, not the Brett Easton.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Brett Easton also just did a horrible movie about the
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: smiley face killers because that guy is the smiley face killer.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Remember when he wanted us on the pod? He said
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: to me, I was like, can you do my podcast?
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: He goes, no, but you can do mine. Remember that?
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Yeah, he kind of big time.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: And he had like 3,000 patrons, and we thought that
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: was huge.
- 1:04:41Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck you. American Psycho was good, but after that,
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: it's been a lot of shit. What is your Patreon?
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: You talking about Laurel Canyon with Lindsay Lohan? Cut it out.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: We've had enough. Had enough of him. Next. This is
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: the trailer for the fake show on Oxygen where these
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: three detectives go around pretending they know who the smiley
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: face killer is. And it's like Teresa Caputo, the Long
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Island medium, who's pretending that she knows the dead kid.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: I mean, it's so heinous what they're doing to these parents.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: They're like, we got all these leads. We're going to
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: make it right. We're going to do it. And they
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: don't have shit. Let's watch this.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: I couldn't.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Get to him fast enough.
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: It's hard to think about somebody hurting your child, but
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: I think someone hurt him.
- 1:05:35Speaker 11: It's like it happened yesterday for me.
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: Just rip your heart out.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: It's so sad. You have these very sad parents. Okay?
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: It's tragic.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: And there's really shady circumstances with these drownings. Enter the
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: goon squad from New York. Watch this. I'm drowned in
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: clusters around the country. We've been investigating for the last
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: 12 years. 12 years! He was heading home and heading
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: in that direction. The $ 50 million question is, how did
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: he get in the water? This is where the dogs
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: lost the scent. They lost Todd's scent right here in
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: the pavement. All classified as accidental or undetermined. When the
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: numbers start to add and you just, you see it,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: something's not right. So there is a pattern that's been growing.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me.
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: He was a champion swimmer in high school.
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: Nobody believes it was an accident.
- 1:06:24Speaker 9: Nobody.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: These retired NYPD detectives aren't buying it. All we know
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: right now is that Dakota James did not drown after
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: that one. I can't tell you what happened to Luke,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: but I can tell you what didn't happen to Luke.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: In almost all the cases, we have found smiley face
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: graffiti near the body recovery center. Smiley face graffiti links
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: all our cases.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: The search for truth.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: He's got defensive wounds and offensive wounds from blocking and striking.
- 1:06:49Speaker 12: He had to have been deceased from the drugs prior
- 1:06:53Speaker 12: to entering the water.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Could reopen hundreds of cases.
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: This is a highly suspicious case.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: Smiley face, three stars, three victims recovered. And bring justice
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: to these families.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: This is what the family wants.
- 1:07:07Speaker 11: They want a true investigation.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: I believe that Luke was murdered I mean, I know
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: I can't bring my son back, but I just really
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: wanted justice for him.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: He was never going to come back. I mean, this
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: is so sad, and here's the thing. I'm not saying
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: these kids aren't being murdered. I mean, what I'm saying
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: is that these detectives have been working on this case
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: since 2006. They have nothing. There's not a suspect. There's nothing.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: They have nothing except a TV show. That's not the
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: goal when you investigate a case is to get a
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: TV show that's like fucking 10 years later to 15
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: years later. The goal is to solve the crime.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Well, I think they wrote a book.
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Yeah, they wrote a book and they got a TV show.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: They got a real great career. Solve the fucking crime
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: and they can't do it. And you have these poor
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: parents that are now sick of these detectives. They're like,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: cause they're like, Hey, I got a lead. You know,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: and that voice, one of them's being banged up for
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: sexual assault or whatever. I don't know, but the Oxygen Network,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I think, parted ways with these three goons. They said,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: get out of here. Tell it walking.
- 1:08:14Speaker 7: Because the detectives are from New York. They're like, I'm
- 1:08:16Speaker 7: a New York detective. I'm a New York detective. I'm
- 1:08:18Speaker 7: going to figure it out. I'm going to figure it out.
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: I don't know anything. I don't know anything about how
- 1:08:24Speaker 7: your son died. But I'm here to bother you and
- 1:08:28Speaker 7: to get on TV. Have you heard of television? We're
- 1:08:32Speaker 7: going to be on TV together. You had a horrible tragedy?
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: I have no career. Those two things are beautiful. You
- 1:08:41Speaker 7: look at the camera and.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: Cry, and I'm going to present myself as a guy
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: helping you when all I'm doing is wasting everybody's time.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: They went on like Dr. Phil. It's just not right
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: to do, right?
- 1:08:57Speaker 12: No.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: It's not right to do. It would be like if
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: I kept showing up to like someone. If I was
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: looking up like missing kids and I kept showing up
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: to their parents' houses and telling them that I had
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: an idea of how it happened. And I'm like, I
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: got a podcast. We're going to figure it out. If
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: I kept showing up, do you have any leads? They go, no,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: but I think something shady happened. They go, yeah, we'll
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: figure it out. Let me get my goon squad. Can
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: you get the first episode up where these fucking idiots
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: are eating bacon, egg, and cheeses? Remember they're eating in
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: a diner? It's the first episode.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: Greasy spoon.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Yeah, they're eating in some greasy spoon diner. It's a
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: real fucking Food Network special.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: See if they have them up here.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: These parents are crying. So then they bring in the
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Hollywood medium, who's not the Long Island medium. He's the
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: gay Hollywood medium. And then he talks to one of
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: the parents. It's so heinous what they are doing to
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: these parents.
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: I don't think it's this clip.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Let me see.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: Maybe it's this one.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: No, it's the first one. It's like the first thing
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: in the series.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: I'm going to have to buy it.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: Sitting there and they're eating like sausage and you're like, hey,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: fuck in the smaller face, killer. There's the smaller. And
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: I'm all for believing these people end up in the
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: river in a very suspect way. And I'm not... All
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: the things we figured out on this show, not figured out,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: but that we just know in general, Epstein and Johnny
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: Gosch and all that stuff, I'm not dismissing the idea
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: that these kids are meeting their end in a way
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: where you do have.
- 1:10:46Speaker 5: But.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: This is the beginning. By the way, can you imagine
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: if your son died in a river? Your son is dead.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: Not someone like me who my parents want dead, but
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: like a young, hot college guy with a thick cock
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: that you see even as his parent, you don't want
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: to fuck him, but you're like, look at that cock,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: you know? And imagine your child has been murdered. He's dead.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: These three sausage and pepper heroes show up to your
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: house and they tell you there's a TV show about it,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: and now you're gonna crack the case wide open. So
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: you've got your dead child, your life is ruined, justice
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: is in the hands of these fucking meatballs. This is
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: scene one in the TV show. I would throw them
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: in the river.
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: You know, the food's gotta be good.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: It's a real greasy sponge, big winner.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: They're talking about food!
- 1:11:48Speaker 9: My son is dead!
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: My beautiful boy is dead!
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Why are you showing eggs?
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Christ! And otherwise, we wouldn't be here. I wouldn't even
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: have dragged you guys out first. I wouldn't have dragged
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: you guys out.
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: Unless I thought there was something going on.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: I have prepared some stuff for you guys.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: I was taking off the floor.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Get us ready for it.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: My name is Lee Gilbertson. I'm a professor.
- 1:12:26Speaker 12: I teach criminal justice.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: He's a sweet guy. I love puzzles. He's a good guy.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: And problems to solve. He had a hat on, a
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: Desert Storm hat, but he was mentally unwell. What do
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: you want me to say?
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: He's a sweet guy.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: He's a very sweet man.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: He's listening to this. He's a sweet guy. Thank you.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: No, we love you, Lee. He sent me a whole email.
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: He wants me to talk to his girlfriend. I can't
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: be involved. I mean, can you imagine? It's like... I mean...
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: If there are people throwing people in a river, by
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: the way, they are going to keep doing it. I'll
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: tell you this. If the smiley face killer is real,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: they are fine. And they are, I mean, not even
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: a small hiccup in anything they're doing. Because the brain
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: trust assembled to fight them is amazing.
- 1:13:14Speaker 12: But mostly it's the injustice that these families are experiencing
- 1:13:19Speaker 12: really pisses me off.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: By you guys. What do you think? You think? That
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: he's one of ours, Dakota? I'm Mike Donovan. I'm a
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: retired NYPD detective. When Kevin asked me to come on
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: board with the smiley face killer's investigation, I knew it
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: wasn't a joke. Only because law enforcement never investigated these
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: cases as criminal cases. That's what makes this really, really difficult.
- 1:13:40Speaker 12: Well, I like the fact that it's possible homicide has
- 1:13:44Speaker 12: not looked at this case.
- 1:13:45Speaker 9: I'm Anthony Duarte, a retired detective from the Bronx.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: I'm devoting my retirement to working on the Smiling Face cases.
- 1:13:51Speaker 12: These kids are not just falling in rivers and drowning.
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: I believe there's a lot more sinister activity going on.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: Make an arrest! All right, let's get out of this.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: But Christ Almighty, like, even Jeffrey Epstein got arrested?! TimDillonComedy.com.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: I mean, that's really all that needs to be said.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Fucking Epstein got arrested. You can arrest one of these
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: fucking people throwing someone in a river. I think some
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: of these are legitimate instances of bad stuff happening. Some
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: of them aren't. They're all mixing them all together. It's
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: a big mishmash, and you've got a bunch of people

- 1:16:47Speaker 1: spend less time fucking around in Texas and more time
