- 0:15Back Day, Drinking with Dog. This is an episode I've been waiting to
- 0:19do for about a month now. Uh, Corey Wilkerson, Hi, Hi,
- 0:24how are you? Thanks for coming on the show, Thanks for having
- 0:26me. We are. We are here to talk about a movie, Sound
- 0:31of Freedom. Yes, that flew under the radar but actually did very well
- 0:37the box office when it came out about a little over a month ago.
- 0:42I would say, yeah, it's like right after fourth I think July,
- 0:46and uh it actually beat uh the Indiana Jones movie. It didn't. I
- 0:51saw that movie. Yeah, which one was better? Context is a little
- 0:57different, but I'm not get it down that one really well, just for
- 1:00the nature of the I listen, I took myself to see Sound of Freedom.
- 1:06Yeah, so sitting in that movie by myself and watching this, it
- 1:11was just like Indiana Jones. It's like I've seen all of those, so
- 1:15it's like I knew what was going to happen. I was, you know,
- 1:17it was. I heard it was pretty bad though it wasn't. If
- 1:19you put that in its own box, it wasn't great. Now it was
- 1:25The early ones are definitely much better. Yeah. You know, I had
- 1:27this conversation when I had Tony running for mayor you know where. He's a
- 1:30little bit older than me, but we were talking about when we were kids
- 1:34going to the movies, and my like first like major mega opening weekend movie
- 1:40was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dooms. Yeah, and I gotta say
- 1:44I had it been like ten or eleven, and the line was around the
- 1:47corner and you know, it took forever to get in. I was so
- 1:51excited to be there. We saw it, and then two weeks later,
- 1:55when it was you know, the next big movies out, I went and
- 1:57saw it like four more times, absolutely right. Yeah, And that mystique
- 2:02of movies is I don't think it's there anything That excitement is not there like
- 2:07when you maybe just maybe yeah, but still, I mean there's still nothing
- 2:10like a good movie that you can only go to a theater to see and
- 2:14just have that experience. But yeah, So I went Monday. Uh,
- 2:17you know, I've I've always you know what I follow. So I had
- 2:22been you know, doing some stuff. Hold on one second, I've been
- 2:32doing some stuff. Sorry, I forgot to start recording button on the video
- 2:37side of it's okay. So if you're watching that video on YouTube, this
- 2:40is Corey Wilkerson. Everybody to the camp. It sucks being like your own
- 2:45like producer. I always forget one little thing and then this one happened to
- 2:49be a big one. But no one watches my YouTube yet. So it's
- 2:51all about the radio right now. Okay? Yeah, so so uh yeah,
- 2:57So I go to the movies Monday. There was a one forty walk
- 3:00in and this is about a quick synopsis of movies. Now, so you
- 3:02go to the mall, which I hate. But then thinking about like about
- 3:05the mall with the movies is you can just go upstairs, drive all the
- 3:07way up. You don't have to walk through the mall to access ye yep.
- 3:10And I get up there and I am there's like four people in line
- 3:16for the kiosk, and there's like a lady standing there by herself. So
- 3:21I'm like, I go over there and she's like ten bucks, pick your
- 3:23seat, yes, and it's a nice lounger and I'm like, oh,
- 3:25this is pretty nice, you know whatever. And the movie is supposed to
- 3:30start at one forty. Now I get ten minutes. But the previews didn't
- 3:32even start till one fifty, it was like coke commercials and your exits,
- 3:38and I think there was another stupid commercial, and then a movie club thing,
- 3:43and then this and that and then finally investment to go to the movie
- 3:46just to get the Yeah. Now, I'm all about previews like you always
- 3:50of people are like cool previews, but where it's like seven of them now,
- 3:53yes, and then too many. I'm like, okay, I know
- 3:58the movies two hours, and I said running time two ten, so whatever,
- 4:01So it finally starts at like literally two ten. It starts at two
- 4:05ten. So so spoiler alert. We're gonna talk a lot about the movie
- 4:11absolutely, So if you haven't seen it yet and you want to see it
- 4:14without a spoil it, you know, maybe hopefully listen to the show later
- 4:16and kind of fall along with some of our takes from it or spoil it
- 4:21for yourself and then come see. You know what's funny is, yeah,
- 4:25right, what's funny is I don't really care if somebody spoils a movie for
- 4:29me that I'm gonna watch regardless. I mean, there are certain movies,
- 4:32like you know, the usual Suspects, like I didn't want to know the
- 4:35ending of that. Yeah, you can talk about the movie all along the
- 4:39way, you know, just don't spoil the ending. And this isn't really
- 4:42that kind of movie. It's it's documented, it's it's a true story.
- 4:46You can you probably read about it if you're into this kind of stuff and
- 4:48researching how bad this epidemic is. So basically it follows a homeland security detective,
- 4:59yes, who's basically in charge of finding pedophiles and child pornography and child
- 5:05sex sleeve stuff. And his name was Tim Ballard or still is he's still
- 5:09with us, And it starts out you know, you know, I didn't
- 5:15know how to go into this movie because I knew it was going to be
- 5:18sad. I didn't know if it was going to be graphic, which I
- 5:21didn't want. Yeah, I was a little unsure of that as well.
- 5:25But I'm glad it wasn't because there was enough inference to like, you know
- 5:29that, Yeah, we see what happens next, and I didn't think it
- 5:32was going that route, but I didn't know. I mean it could,
- 5:36yeah, it has to, I guess to get to that point, you
- 5:39know, and obviously getting more into the movie, you see how easily that
- 5:43is done. And that was the basis if it was these kids in they
- 5:46were so cute and this woman just wanted to suck them into her world for
- 5:50a profit, had no expense to their lives at all, Right, and
- 5:55there's no twists and turns that you don't really I thought the ending was harrowing,
- 5:59and we'll obviously get to that. Yeah, but like, yeah,
- 6:01when what was her name, Tanya or what was the girl that the talent
- 6:05agent? I believe it was Tanya. I could be Remember you're you're introduced
- 6:11through Rosseo who's the girl, Yes? And Miguel who's the boy? Yes?
- 6:15And their brothers sister there about it a year apart, and the father's
- 6:17like a single dad and uh looked like he was like a steel or iron
- 6:21worker or something blue color worker for sure. Just a knock on the door.
- 6:27Yeah, and there's this beautiful, stunning lady there. Yeah, and
- 6:30she must said she saw her at the market singing. Yeah, she was
- 6:33singing, and then she I think she followed her like to her house and
- 6:38like sat outside and listened to her sing. And that's where she was like,
- 6:41hmm, yes, this is one I can go in there and then
- 6:43pitch the whole Your daughter's so talented and beautiful, she can make so much
- 6:47money, this and that. And then I didn't realize when they were having
- 6:50that meeting that she wanted the brother as well. So when he dropped them
- 6:54both off, I was like, oh my goodness, So I think that
- 6:58an ad like she was like, oh, I will take him to Yeah
- 7:00absolutely yeah. Uh So the daughter convinces the father to let, you know,
- 7:05basically let him do that, but he insists on going. Yeah.
- 7:11So they all hop out a bus and they're in like, where are the
- 7:14Guatemala or I believe so somewhere like that, And they're taking a city boss
- 7:20and they get to a basically a not an abandoned building, but a building
- 7:25I think it was a hotel. I think it was a hotel. Yeah,
- 7:28And they all walk up and the father feels relieved because when they opens
- 7:32the doors, he's a bunch of other kids and yeah, this is this
- 7:35is awesome area. And then he tries to walk in and the lady's like,
- 7:42no, you can't come back, but you have to be picked him
- 7:44up at seven pm sharp, which is crazy. Yeah, how do you
- 7:47mean there's no adult supervision in that room? Other than you. There wasn't
- 7:50like a hey, now what this doesn't seem right? Like he was like
- 7:55okay, I guess I see it at seven and before we move, Like
- 8:00that's the that's the allure of poor people, and it sucks. It's like,
- 8:05you know, everyone knows pop stars and there's you know, one of
- 8:09every ten pop star came from nothing, yes, and that's their hope and
- 8:11dreams. And maybe my kid you know she was really talented as a ten
- 8:16year old girl and it's like, oh, but to exploit her like that
- 8:20for like such an innocent look to the father but behind closed doors, this
- 8:26is I mean yeah when so we'll get to the next sid Well, this
- 8:28is the creepiest part for me. Like the whole movie is the photo shoot.
- 8:33Yeah. So now they got all the kids in and they're putting them
- 8:37in these poses. They're ten, nine, eight years old young like you
- 8:43know, kissing lips, yeah, and like open up they're very high v
- 8:48next shirt a little more like to show what to show? They are eight?
- 8:54They have nothing there like what it's it was very cringey for sure.
- 8:58Right, So, as you can predict, the father comes back to pick
- 9:01him up and there's nobody there, nobody in the hotels, no one there.
- 9:05It's like the band in the whole building. He couldn't get ahold of
- 9:07anything. Yeah, there's nobody there. Yeah, and that's that. Yeah.
- 9:09And he's like, my kids are gone, and now now what and
- 9:11what am I supposed to do? Yeah? And you know, the police
- 9:15don't really like these kids banners so quickly it's it's it's it's amazing they ended
- 9:20up finding them. Oh, it's a miracle like that. I mean,
- 9:24obviously it's a movies, but like, but does that happen? It did
- 9:28happen, So that would be fast forward to now we meet Tim Ballard.
- 9:33Yeah, and he's just on a basic case that he's been doing with another
- 9:37guy. And of all the photos that they took in this room, this
- 9:43creep fucking pedophile puts together an album yes online and he calls it like the
- 9:50Spring Spring. Uh. I'm trying to remember. I saw this movie.
- 9:56Okay, we're good. It was called like the Spring Teaser album. Yeah.
- 10:01So all these other creeper pedophiles are online and they're like selecting children,
- 10:05they were subscribing. I'm pretty sure he was like running the website and they
- 10:09were purchasing from it, right, it's so fucking sick. They are literally
- 10:13sitting outside of this guy's house. They're just waiting for him to click and
- 10:15start uploading, and then they bust them and they get back to the the
- 10:22whatever, the Homeland Security, and the other guy's like creeped. I was
- 10:24like, why do you do this? Why do you do this? Yeah?
- 10:26And he's like, you know, I've caught two hundred and eighty eight
- 10:28pedophiles, and the other guys like, yeah, how many kids have you
- 10:31saved? Oh? Yeah, remember that? Yes, I do remember that.
- 10:35It's like whoa, whoa, He's trying wait a minute now. Yeah,
- 10:39And he even said he's like, I'm Homeland Security. I can't leave
- 10:41the country. He can't, you know, until he did, until he
- 10:43did so all right, So here we are. So now he's got the
- 10:48guy, ye, and he brings him in and he pretends to him that
- 10:54he's a pedophile too, Yes, and the dude like falls for it.
- 10:56He does. Yeah, Well, he had to make a couple weird moves
- 11:01out of his character, which I think you can see. I think he
- 11:03portrays a good part of this that you could tell. They was obviously uncomfortable
- 11:07with what he was doing because he has kids. It's like a lot of
- 11:09kids, Yeah, like he had I think he had six in the movie.
- 11:16Yeah. And then when they showed the final picture of actual tim,
- 11:20they have another baby. That was Yeah, that was a cheaper by the
- 11:22dozen first yes, so so so they he basically cons the guy. It's
- 11:31a giving up a name, and they get the name. They know this
- 11:37dude is like traveling over the Mexican border. Yeah, and they stop him
- 11:43and mcguel Rossil's brother is in the car. Yeah, and he's frightened and
- 11:48he's he just looks terrified, and they create a bond the two of them,
- 11:54which I thought was really cool. Absolutely, and there was a good
- 11:58trust factor there. And he gets reunited with the father, you know,
- 12:01but now the father's like, where's my daughter? Yes, And this is
- 12:03where I think the movie really escalates. For sure, this was just getting
- 12:07started. So this whole thing was really going to turn out to be right,
- 12:11because I had a lot of things in my head going on, like,
- 12:13all right, you know, this is just going to be a basic
- 12:18internet sleuth finding people kind of thing, or I didn't know which because I
- 12:22didn't I didn't really want to know the story. Yeah, Like I didn't
- 12:26really know about it before this movie came out, so I was intrigued.
- 12:30That was like it had me hooked. So I'm like, all right,
- 12:31how is this? Which direction is this going to go? So here we
- 12:35are. Now he goes back to Homeland Security, his boss, and he's
- 12:39like, you know, I need to go and find this girl. Yeah,
- 12:43because the father's like, you know, thanks for the son, but
- 12:46you know, how do I get my daughter back too? Which I thought
- 12:48was a little maybe not not you know, grateful enough, but you know,
- 12:52I get it, like if they if they boll excuse me, they
- 12:54went missing together. So I think in his mind he's like, well,
- 12:58why is he here and not my daughter? They and these stays stays separate
- 13:01these kids all the fucking of course. Yeah, So he basically convinces his
- 13:07boss to get like a ten thousand dollars budget fly down to like Bolga Tak
- 13:11Columbia. I think yes, I think it waste yes and uh and he
- 13:18getting introduced to this guy called Vampiro. That was the yes. I loved
- 13:24him, so, yeah, he's he was my favorite character. Absolutely.
- 13:28He made such a cool twist to the whole thing because he was a criminal.
- 13:31Essentially, it was tired criminal, tired criminal. He was in the
- 13:35mafia. And now all he does is he buys children to strictly rescue them,
- 13:43the kids and puts them in a safe house. Yeah, and so
- 13:46these guys, Yeah, it's incredible. So these two guys link up and
- 13:48it's like awesome dynamic duo, right hair like Batman and Robin. But so
- 13:54he's down there and now he's getting heat from home. Yeah. Was by
- 14:01the way, he never got any heat from his wife's supportive was a little
- 14:07made up, like not once maybe not once she was like, pabe,
- 14:11come on, you have six fucking kids at home. You're trying trying to
- 14:16find a needle in a haystack. Could you come home for a little bit?
- 14:18But no, she's like, go find her. Well, you know,
- 14:22just devil's advocate. Maybe she knew that he wouldn't have forgiven himself or
- 14:24been able to continue on with his life in the way that they carry their
- 14:28household if he hadn't at least tried or at least exhausted all efforts to get
- 14:33these kids back. Because they had those kids at home. You know,
- 14:35it's great in theory. It's us. I just had to put that because
- 14:43women I know, well I am one, I don't know. Yeah,
- 14:48yeah, yeah. Anyway, so she's very supportive at home. Yes,
- 14:52she says, you know, go do this. So the only way he
- 14:54can do so caveat or not a caveat. But they have a guy they've
- 15:01used before, Pablo, who was a billionaire and he loves this kind of
- 15:07shit, and he basically he quits his job like nine months before he's like
- 15:13pension is ready to go. Oh yeah, like just gives up everything except
- 15:16his family to go find this girl. And he has a hard time convincing
- 15:24Pablo to fund this, so he comes up with his grand idea of a
- 15:28hotel. Yes, they're on an island, a pedophile island if you will,
- 15:33Epstein Island. And they faked the whole fucking thing yea. And they
- 15:41go super fucking undercover. They get into the right hands of the right people.
- 15:48That girl comes back, the girl that recruited Roseo and all the other
- 15:52children is part of this deal, and they all think they're going to be
- 15:56getting one hundred thousand dollars a piece. Just to start, they need to
- 16:00bring fifty kids to the island to show, you know, and so he's
- 16:03hoping that obviously she's on the fifty Kids list. Yeah, and uh it
- 16:10was wild. They set this whole thing up, and they fucking hook line
- 16:14and sinkered these things they did. They had swad well Columbia's version police and
- 16:18military on standby ready to go. They swarmed that island as quick as they
- 16:22gave that. They're all party and having a good time waiting for that last
- 16:26boat to come and put up a good show. I'll tell you that.
- 16:27It looked like they were really all into these kids. And then there was
- 16:30that one scene where the guy was like, oh, no, this one
- 16:33and he was like, no, I'm not touching him. No, but
- 16:36it's not what we're doing. And he's like, what do you mean,
- 16:37Yeah, we're here to do this, right, I mean I can't touch
- 16:40her. No, no, no, you can't touch this right he was
- 16:41like, And I love what he did with that guy absolutely. Yeah.
- 16:45So basically, when when the cops came, he told the swat to arrest
- 16:52us all, you know, even even us because the cops, Yeah,
- 16:56and leave that one guy and just pull him off to the side and put
- 16:59your arm around and walked down the beach with him, and he made everyone
- 17:02believe that that guy set them all up. Yes, so the people,
- 17:06the pedophiles are the ones running this whole joint, thought that they were set
- 17:10up by their their buddy, but you know, all actuality, it was
- 17:12it was by Tim and his crew. So unfortunately she was not one of
- 17:18the children that he was looking for, but greatly they rescued fifty kids as
- 17:25well. Yeah, so that was great. So now now you're part of
- 17:29the movie where he's he's he's dejected. He's like, all right, I
- 17:32don't I don't know what to do. Uh, how do we go about
- 17:36finding this girl? Should I give up? You know? What they did
- 17:41was great, but he's just still has this desire to find this girl.
- 17:45It wasn't going to be fully satisfied with any saying if he didn't find her.
- 17:51So he makes I think they get with So they get they get a
- 17:53lead. Yes, he shows the picture to one of the people that were
- 17:57arrested. Yes, and they pointed and they said it was the scorpion to
- 18:02Yeah, so there's this guy that lives in this remote fucking jungle. Way
- 18:07they portrayed what these people were living in was heartbreaking, like this is there's
- 18:12anacondo. It's just floating next to you in the river like it's it's pretty,
- 18:18and it's basically and dangerous like ten guerrilla warriors with like forty slaves,
- 18:26yeah, and just living in their own little area. They're they're well armed,
- 18:30absolutely, and but rampant with disease. Hard they any food, just
- 18:36so disease. Glad you brought it up. So how they get it?
- 18:37Yes, they did. They pretended to be un doctors and there was a
- 18:44vaccine for a bowl of type virus going around or whatever it was. And
- 18:49they only allowed Tim Ballad to go in. They wouldn't let vampire. Only
- 18:52one of you. Yeah, you stay here. So he goes in by
- 18:56himself, and the first day he finds her, he sees her like he
- 19:02does. He was walking through because he was talking to the scorpion, was
- 19:04like, I need to go in and check everybody. So in his mind
- 19:07he's gonna go walk around and look at every single person in this area.
- 19:11And he came across her stomping on what looked like some kind of fruit or
- 19:18whatever they were making. Yeah, it sounds like she's making a wine,
- 19:19but yeah, whatever she was doing. Yeah, and he calls out her
- 19:22name a couple of times. She finally takes the back I found you.
- 19:26Oh my god, he's found her. Yeah, he's on his own,
- 19:32he has no weapons. Yeah, and she's also the Scorpions person on purchase
- 19:38that sleeps with him. So how do you extract her from that situation?
- 19:42He bought her and she's in so he luckily finds them all drinking around camp
- 19:49fire, singing, playing guitar and drunk. Yes, so he sneaks in.
- 19:55All right, so if you want to stop listening now, this is
- 19:56pretty much the other. But he snakes in and she's in bed and she
- 20:03screams yes because she doesn't know what's going on, and he's like trying to
- 20:07get it from screaming. Yeah. Of course Scorpion hears her scream. So
- 20:11Scorpion comes up and he hides onto the bed and he just lays her down
- 20:15on the bed and he starts like taking his pants off, and it's like,
- 20:17oh god, this is what this He just makes you realize that this
- 20:19is what this girl's like been going every night that he's been trying to find
- 20:26her. Yeah, and tears were even yeah, like even I mean,
- 20:33she's broken. Absolutely, all these kids are broken. It's sad. It
- 20:37was really sad, Like that's they live their life with so much hope and
- 20:41then this is what the end result was, like this is what they were
- 20:42going to do the rest of their days on this earth. Like that's I
- 20:45can't even imagine going through something like that, like wholeheartedly. I've no idea
- 20:51people do it. I mean they'll turn you know. There. We'll get
- 20:53to some stats in a second. That and granted the stats are from the
- 20:57movie. I didn't do my own research, but I'm sure the pretty accurate.
- 21:00Uh So, here's the heron part of the movie. Like he basically
- 21:06kills Scorpion. I liked when like she looked up and he's just like close
- 21:10your eyes and he just fucking kills him. It was a little bit struggle,
- 21:12but he kills him. Yeah, and he sneaks her out. They
- 21:15get to the basically the boat. But right when they get to the boat,
- 21:18the radio goes off. The Scorpion's dead, and he's got to go
- 21:21up this little you know, Amazon river fucking inlet. Yeah it's not you
- 21:26know what I mean, Like it's a little waterway to get out of there
- 21:27to get back to his buddies, and they are just firing. It was
- 21:33crazy. I was like, I was at the edge of my seat.
- 21:34I'm like, I know how it's one of those great cinematic feats where you
- 21:38know what's gonna happen, but you're still like, oh shit, yeah,
- 21:41I think theybe the vampire gets fucking shot in the shoulder and dies, you
- 21:45know, you know, yeah, exactly, they all get out of there.
- 21:48Uh. It was it was It was crazy, and I was like,
- 21:52man, and then gets some gets gets her back to safety, gets
- 21:55in the hospital and checked out, and back to dad. And so Dad
- 21:59has the full family and of course, you know movies are usually full circle.
- 22:02Starts the scene with them, and it ends the scene with them there,
- 22:04and then it does a little biography kind of you know Tim Ballard and
- 22:10how he went to Congress and pass some laws. And I guess they actually
- 22:15all those people that they rested on that that fake island, they end up
- 22:19using them for more leads and arrest themself. Yet they interrogated the hell out
- 22:25of that. So he went after he found her, he went back and
- 22:29we're not done yet. Yeah, this can't be the only two kids so
- 22:33that's pretty much the movie in a nutshell. Ye. I don't know if
- 22:37he talked justice to it, but it really was good. It was moving.
- 22:41I I know, there's so much of this in the world and this
- 22:45is just one little minute faction of it of how it happens. It can
- 22:49happen online. They can groom kids right online. They cant groom kids to
- 22:53go meet you somewhere. Chat rooms is where they find you. I thought
- 23:00it was crazy. Actually the first scene in the movie, like when they're
- 23:02running the credits in the beginning, showing all those like CCV their CTV things
- 23:07close circuits, CCTV close circuit TVs and just like dudes like ride on the
- 23:11moped and just picking up a two year old baby out of the back of
- 23:15a girl just speeding about that part. Yeah, like all these things and
- 23:18those are real, Like all these crazy scenes that these people just snatching kids,
- 23:22yeah right off the street, yeah, left and right. Like the
- 23:25statistics they showed at the end two were insane. That I mean number one
- 23:29of this is not a million a billion dollar business worldwide. I think it
- 23:33said the US was like the leading abduction site. Whether these kids get sourced
- 23:37out elsewhere, but it's more dingerous to be a child in the US than
- 23:41almost anywhere else. And like I looked back to the movie you've seen Taken,
- 23:45Yes, so you know, obviously that was a little older. It
- 23:47wasn't like they were young girls, but it wasn't they weren't children. Yes,
- 23:52you know that obviously was a fictitious movie. But at the same time,
- 23:55that's kind of how it happens in Russia. And you know, they
- 23:59drug you and then you're they just keep drugging you because when you're a certain
- 24:03age you can fight and you're not innocent where like you don't know if this
- 24:07is even real life, Like this is what I'm supposed to be doing,
- 24:10Like I don't know what's right and what's wrong with right. You don't know.
- 24:11But when you're seventeen, eighteen nineteen, they have to keep you drug
- 24:15the whole time, to resist right, right to be a slave in this
- 24:19industry. And I thought a telling point that he said in one scene was,
- 24:26you know, a drug dealer basically gets a bag of coke and sells
- 24:30it and that coke is consumed and gone, Yeah, you have to go
- 24:33buy more coke, but with a human you can turn ten to fifteen tricks
- 24:40a day. Yeah, every day? Wait, this is that safety years?
- 24:44Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It also goes into when
- 24:48this has surpassed the drug trade that is yeah, yeah, well no.
- 24:53A scene came to my mind of Vampiro when Tim asked him why why are
- 25:00you on the good side of this? Like how how did this make sense
- 25:03for you? And he was like, because I got involved with a girl
- 25:04and I found out what she was doing, the life she was living,
- 25:07and I realized that I was the pain in her eyes, right, and
- 25:11like why he was like himself, Yeah, because of this girl. And
- 25:15that's what made me think of it, was that this girl was turning tricks
- 25:18every day since she was nine years old. And you said that girl was
- 25:21fourteen. Imagine doing that for that minute, Like I can't even children.
- 25:26Yeah, that was his life, I think, so yeah, yeah,
- 25:30and it's just oh, it's heartbreaking to see it really is. And I
- 25:36think everyone, you know, we'll get into like this little two minute fucking
- 25:40message at the end of the movie that I was not keen of, but
- 25:44I had good thought behind it, but I don't think it panned out.
- 25:45Well, no, it was it was tacky. Yeah, but I just
- 25:53don't know, like this is just one guy, one story, even two
- 25:57children. I mean, there's like over three million children in the world that
- 26:02are in sex slave trade. Yeah, absolutely, and it's happening every one.
- 26:06The last step that they showed was that there's never been a time in
- 26:12the history of the world that there's been more slaves, whether they were legal
- 26:18or not, than there is right now. And three million of them are
- 26:22children. Yeah, that's what it was. Which that's fucking insane. This
- 26:26is what we've evolved to, right, We've come this far to do this
- 26:32history repeating itself. Yeah, exactly, greed and crime and power and but
- 26:37how do you I mean, it's it's I don't know. I mean,
- 26:41I commend these guys were doing this job, you know, and it's got
- 26:45to be heartbreaking to go home social media have a family, yeah, every
- 26:48day and just you know, heart rug your daughters and sons tighter, you
- 26:53know, and a lot of people you don't you know, in certain situations
- 26:56probably don't even think about it, you know, like I don't think you
- 26:59know, my site out of mind, right, yeah, or you never
- 27:02think it'll be your kids, your kid until it is, and then it's
- 27:04like, wait to say, why is no one doing anyth for me?
- 27:07Yeah, they're trying, Yeah, they're trying. The resources and just the
- 27:11availability of it. I mean, not to mention too these people that have
- 27:15been doing this, they've got this thing on lock. They know what they're
- 27:18doing. You know, likes far a lot of it has income cities.
- 27:21Yeah, you know, they control them. What are you going to find?
- 27:22Yeah? Absolutely, what are you going to find there? Like drugs
- 27:25fund at all? Yeah, you can't go over there as an American citizen.
- 27:29They don't want you. What sick fuck child. That's another thing about
- 27:33it. Yeah, that's a whole that's a whole rabbit hole. But yeah,
- 27:34no, it's hard. It's it's very difficult to digest because of the
- 27:38capacity of what the number one their children. Number two, you're not talking
- 27:41about just a pedophile. You're talking about pedophile that is into like not average
- 27:45human beings his age, like children, like significantly younger than somebody. And
- 27:49it's just it's so hard to digest, honestly. I you know, you
- 27:56hear the rumors that it goes through Hollywood and a lot of that ship and
- 28:03we don't need to go down the rabbit hole in this episode. But there's
- 28:07a market for it, which is fucked up. There is, and to
- 28:11be more profitable to be in that market as a consumer, you have to
- 28:18have money power and people that don't want it out. Yeah, and for
- 28:25someone like you or me, we don't like, well we don't have those
- 28:29thoughts. But two, we could never pull it off if we did.
- 28:32Where do you even just to even step foot into that mindset? Who are
- 28:36you calling for that? Hey? You know somebody with a kid that I
- 28:38could buy? How do you even like? It's just it's channels, it's
- 28:44it's it's crazy, it's knowing, it's it's nuts. And that's like the
- 28:47whole Epstein Island thing. Like absolutely, you know, I'm actually this is
- 28:52not to be funny, but like as I'm talking to I'm looking up at
- 28:53my baseball cards and I see a Wander Franco autograph. You just got suspended
- 28:59for dating afford teen year olds? Jeez? Yeah, yeah he's from the
- 29:02Dominican Yeah fourteen Yeah, okay, yeah anyway, uh sorry, uh yeah.
- 29:08So like there's there's like this whole you know, it's like an iceberg,
- 29:15that's all you see there's so much that goes into it, and there's
- 29:19so many people involved that number one you wouldn't even think. But number two,
- 29:22like, it's deep. It's not something that is easily dismantled or taken
- 29:26down, which is why it exists the way it does. It's very complex
- 29:30and it's very broad, and it's really sad that it's a thing, but
- 29:33it's the world we live in, what you know. So we were talking
- 29:40earlier about before the show about like, uh, some celebrities have been trying
- 29:45to expose this. Yeah, amongst the Hollywood ranks, you know, uh,
- 29:52you know, Epstein down is one thing, and there's a big list.
- 29:53But you know, you see a list of Epstein island lists on like
- 29:56X or Twitter. But they want to call it. It's just like he
- 30:00didn't realize names. By the way, I went to go and I was
- 30:03like looking for Twitter on my phone. I was like, yeah, that's
- 30:06a big black Oh this is new. Okay, here we go. Anyways,
- 30:11the lights of Paul Walker Chester Beddington. You know these guys are dead.
- 30:19One in a fiery Porsche crash that blew up on impact. Chester died
- 30:26of suicide. Well not let me get me on screen suicide along with why
- 30:33is his name Escaping Me? He's like one of Chris Cornell. Yes,
- 30:37along with Chris Cornell. Uh died on So Chris Cornell and Chester were like
- 30:42best friends. And I might get this wrong, but if I get it
- 30:48wrong, it's the opposite. But I believe Chester died first and then Chris
- 30:55Cornell on Chester's birthday killed himself, so vice versa. It was one of
- 31:00the two. It was one of the two. But like my fucking conspiracy
- 31:04heads like, well, if they actually killed themselves, they did it to
- 31:08make it look like they're such a strong bond between the two. All yeah,
- 31:14you know, and you see these fucking movies of like people like for
- 31:17suicides on the people, you know, but it's really a murder. And
- 31:18it's just like I always look at it like Hollywood, you know, like
- 31:23life imitating art or vice versa. It's like I watch it, you know,
- 31:27I watch a lot of movies and I'm just like, yeah, I
- 31:30can see that happening. You know. It's like absolutely, or where do
- 31:33these fucked up people get these fucked up ideas? It's one of the two,
- 31:37right, you imagined? It's somewhere somehow I'm like, what the hell.
- 31:44Yeah, but yeah, so again that's it that but that'sn't all holding
- 31:48of facet of this crazy crime syndicate industry that's out there. Yeah, and
- 31:55you know it's like it's like with the trans and communities, like just to
- 31:57stop going after the kids, leave the kids alone. Yeah, and you
- 32:01fuckers, you know, there would be no industry if there wasn't a market
- 32:07for it. So these fuckers that are crazy and fucking deranged, go seek
- 32:10he sick. Do not get your rocks off on an eight year old boy
- 32:15or girl. You don't need to torture and ruin that child's life because there's
- 32:19something wrong with you. You're the problem. You too, your fucking head
- 32:23and fucking shoot yourself. Please save the children, Give him a chance,
- 32:28Give me a chance. Yeah, give him a chance. All right,
- 32:32that sounded freedom. Yeah. I'll see it still theaters for a little while.
- 32:37I think it comes out on now yeah, yeah, I think it
- 32:39comes out in digital stuff soon in the streaming services. But oh, before
- 32:44we get into the next topic, So as the credits roll after the movie,
- 32:50that says, like, in three minutes and thirteen seconds, wait for
- 32:52a special message. Okay, sure, have me a hello, Yeah,
- 32:59let's do it. So it had a thirty minute for three minutes in thirteen
- 33:02seconds, and then Jim Caviezel, Jim Caviezel, who played ten Ballard,
- 33:08comes on and he does his two minutes spiel about the good part of it
- 33:13is like there's like a pay it forward thing with this movie. Yeah,
- 33:16if you want to buy a ticket for someone else that you don't know,
- 33:21it goes into like a so the awareness can be spread equally. You have
- 33:23no barriers to not be able to see the movie. Yeah, which I
- 33:25thought was really cool, as you want to go clearly go see the movie
- 33:30for free, you go to their website and they'll gift you a ticket to
- 33:32it. I guess I don't know exactly how it works, but then not
- 33:37how it works because I just paid ten bar I just paid the money wherever
- 33:39it goes and where it goes. But that's not what got me. It
- 33:43was this whole and I liked Jim Caviezel. He's not really in a lot
- 33:45of movies, big movies anyway, but I remember some of them from like
- 33:50you know, ten fifteen years ago that he was in there were pretty good,
- 33:53and I thought he was great in this and he just goes in the
- 33:57full actor mode and like, you know, this already tells it and if
- 34:00the story doesn't get out, this won't be fixed and it's up to us.
- 34:04And it just came across as like you said before, if Tim Ballard
- 34:08had done what he did, I'm like, yo, Bravo, that would
- 34:12have rolled me so bad. Yes to donate money whatever I need to do?
- 34:16Way help. Yeah it didn't. It didn't hit home the way it
- 34:20should have. The intention was there. I totally believe they had the right
- 34:22idea behind it, but you shouldn't have had him do it. He wasn't
- 34:24the person to portray that message. And the guy that did all of this,
- 34:27the hero in this movie that people did not wanted any part of it.
- 34:30Who knows. He's like, I'm gonna stay it back, you know
- 34:32what, put a little astick at the bottom and said we asked, he
- 34:35said, no, let me not. At least you tried, right,
- 34:42But yeah, I was a little like, I was like, oh,
- 34:44I could have missed that, or they could have played it during the credits
- 34:47and save me then, yeah, like who really reached credits? Come on?
- 34:52No, you know that's why I love when you watching a movie on
- 34:54T and T and the movie ends and the credits roll it like fucking seventeen
- 34:58times the movies like they're done. It's like, that's so credit, that's
- 35:00how you roll credit. Like the only person looking the credits to the people
- 35:05that is credited for. Yeah, so like Bob doing the grip. I
- 35:08can't wait to see his name on it. Give a fuck who he is.
- 35:13Uh, anyway, So there's spend some fires in Maui. Yes it
- 35:16has, and uh it's actually it's it's fucking crazy, like they're calling them
- 35:23fire torn Yeah, fire tornadoes. Uh. Basically, what's what's happening is
- 35:29when the fires first hit these eighty mile an hour like Maui, fucking off,
- 35:34the water winds are coming in and swirling the flames and just engulfing cars
- 35:39and houses and people. And you know, I think that death pulls up
- 35:44to like two hundred now with one hundred half of them are kids because kids
- 35:45couldn't get anywhere. And it's just so fucking sad it is. But there's
- 35:51a lot of there's a lot of levels to this whole thing, and and
- 35:58I want to start with the level you first started when you sat down here,
- 36:00you're talking about the police commissioners, Like I am. I can't wait
- 36:04to look this up. So yeah, so we were texting last night.
- 36:06You know what we're going to talk about, and I was like, oh,
- 36:07let me do some diving. No, so we're on the same page.
- 36:10And when I came I came across some TikTok videos and it was the
- 36:14police commissioner talking about you know, what they were doing, you know,
- 36:17on the aftermath such and such. And I watched a TikTok video and it
- 36:22said this is the same guy that was the police commissioner in Las Vegas in
- 36:27two thousand seventeen eighteen. Uh it was it's gonna be uh eighteens, no,
- 36:34seventeen seventeen, right, yeah, six years this year. So I
- 36:37had moved to Vegas that June following that a little plug, I was going
- 36:40to have a person that was on scene it like literally saw no, no,
- 36:45but no, no, I am for the anniversary. Yeah yeah yeah,
- 36:51so just stay tuned for more stuff. But we keep going. So
- 36:57I heard like, you know, so I was working at the Hooters on
- 36:59the Strip and the Hooters girl in Vegas that I lived a lot of lives
- 37:07in my life. So I was working at the restaurant and that was obviously
- 37:10near Mandalais Bay, which were a lot of people you know, diverted to
- 37:14when they took shelter from this tragedy. But anyways, not to get off
- 37:16topic, but so it was fascinating that the person that's now in charge of
- 37:21this catastrophe was also in charge of that catastrophe. So it was just an
- 37:28eyebrow razor. Don't know if that means anything, but it means other than
- 37:30he had a job change but wasn't and what is his Las Vegas? Two
- 37:35catastrophic events, I mean less sometimes shit happens, but these were very catastrophic
- 37:40things that happened, and it was just I was like, hmm, that's
- 37:44an interesting point to see that. I'm definitely let's start with the radical the
- 37:52radical theories. Yeah, uh, from what I've seen is like a laser
- 37:55beam coming down and shooting a house, blowing it up. It was one
- 37:59of the I call him a direct energy weapons And I don't buy those one
- 38:07bit. No, there'd be too many witnesses. They're too easy to make
- 38:10up online anyway, you know, the technology to make anything look real is
- 38:16is almost scary at this point. Hello, but this is the one that
- 38:21I like because now the citizens are stepping out and saying stuff. So there
- 38:28was ahead of Maui times. She's like the editor in chief or something,
- 38:34and she tried to get to the crime scene, not the crime scene,
- 38:37sorry, try to get to the scene where police had the barricades and stuff,
- 38:40and they wouldn't let her in. And she's like, wait, I'm
- 38:44a journalist, this is my right, Like I need to report on this.
- 38:47You're just the police, Like I have credentials to get through here,
- 38:51and they wouldn't let her through, and they said, oh, well,
- 38:52you need to go see this girl. She's over there. And this lady
- 38:54went on like this wild goose chase and never found the lady. She had
- 38:58gone home for the day, and she did this whole like Twitter video and
- 39:02she's like to telling her story and like tell like showing her credentials, telling
- 39:07me everyone who she is, Like I couldn't even get access, Like what
- 39:10are they what are they keeping from us? You know? So then I
- 39:15started deep diving myself, and someone came across the w EF, which is
- 39:20the World Economic Forum founded by all these billionaires and uh, a lot of
- 39:25them own land and Maui And now a lot of the citizens are coming out
- 39:30and saying, you know, they're walking through the destruction. They see their
- 39:34home gone. But that nice, cute little mansion maybe owned by Oprah Winfrey
- 39:38up on the hill, there's not even touched. There's literally fire Tornado just
- 39:45missed right the mansions. It was only lower economic housing that I wanted to
- 39:52take out. And literally and there's there was articles written like, you know,
- 39:57a couple of years prior to that area. Yeah, where the housing
- 40:00markets down because no one wants to sell because they're in fucking Maui and they
- 40:06own property. It's also sacred land. That part is like one of the
- 40:10all I mean from my that I took last night, it's sacred land.
- 40:15And these people were like, no, I don't want to leave. I've
- 40:16been here my whole at My grandparents have been here, their grandparents have been
- 40:20here. There's a lot of tradition. Now, I don't blame them for
- 40:21not wanting to like go off their land that was theirs. I agree,
- 40:24just because you gentrified that area over there doesn't mean you get to come over
- 40:28here. So some of the people that have mega literally mega mansions next to
- 40:34where all this should happen was Oprah, which is she's the big target now,
- 40:38but she's a target of a lot of things. So I don't really,
- 40:42I don't know. She's she's she's a target of pedophilia, she's a
- 40:44target of she's Emstein Island, she's she's like I mean, I mean,
- 40:47it wouldn't surprise me. But Jeff Bezos, Lady Gaga, Will Smith,
- 40:52Bill Gates, Shocker and this person you know how the hell of the fire
- 40:59knew to avoid the part of the island where these celebrities have their multimillion dollar
- 41:01houses. These are huge names too. You're not talking like little b listers
- 41:05like these are megan names in the world. Yeah, so they're saying that
- 41:07that EF has an agenda by twenty thirty to basically own all you know,
- 41:13all the rich you know, the fucking the boys, the Big Boys Club,
- 41:16to own all that land that basically, So it's gonna be interesting to
- 41:20watch, you know, I know it's so soon and maybe too soon,
- 41:23but it's gonna be interesting to watch what ends up going there. Because now
- 41:28what's happening is all these people are gonna get their insurance money, but it
- 41:31won't be enough to rebuild, probably on you know whatever they might have valued
- 41:37their homes app would they want to rebuild. They're probably afraid that it could
- 41:40happen again easily, and they're gonna leave. And who's gonna swoop in?
- 41:45The big money people, they're gonna swoop in buy up the property. And
- 41:51you're probably gonna see what's in twenty twenty three. Probably by twenty thirty,
- 41:55you're gonna see probably hugh properties and maybe even a wiki key style beachfront where
- 42:06hotels, maybe casinos, and it's gonna be so overly priced where you and
- 42:12I can't go, but it's gonna be dare I say it? But Epstein's
- 42:17type of it, you know, it's what do you think? Is that
- 42:22a good theory? Maybe a little far fetched, But I don't believe the
- 42:27laser started. I believe it, but I believe something started because they're saying
- 42:30that the telephone pole went down, like there's like a lot of witnesses and
- 42:34how it started. Yeah, there's a lot of theories. There was a
- 42:37lot. I saw a video of where there's a lot of parts that aren't
- 42:38maintenanced by the electric company. They've got trees and vines and leaves just growing
- 42:45in between electric. Of course it's going to start a fire, So why
- 42:46are you not maintenancing your property? Number one? Number two They also said
- 42:52that you know, there was no warning, No sirens went often. Those
- 42:54sirens are in place for that reason. They know that those kind of storms
- 42:58happen. There there was no warning, There was no like, hey,
- 43:01you got to evacuate. They just literally let these people suffer the consequences without
- 43:06even giving them a chance. You know, if they want to stay and
- 43:08bunker down, you know what, I'll applause to you. But you should
- 43:10have been afforded the option to leave if you wanted to. Like, there's
- 43:14children, there's elderly, there's you know, everybody. Really but I don't
- 43:19think that, and I'm not going to say like somebody went around with a
- 43:22lighter and started the wild No, but there was definitely I think decisions made
- 43:28to make sure that some people suffered and some people did it. There was
- 43:30just if this wasn't started fire, you know, I to call it a
- 43:35wildfire, I'm not really sure. It doesn't look like anything the wildfires I've
- 43:37ever seen anywhere. So a movie just popped in my head. I think
- 43:40it was called Romeo Must Die and it was like, Jetly, I hain't
- 43:49have any young people on you always look didn't know who Nirvana was. Okay,
- 43:53well that's you know what, that's just not accepted anyway. The premise
- 44:00of the movie was, uh, there was mafia and they were trying to
- 44:06well it was like a black gang. Uh like white collar crime. And
- 44:10then Jetley's just trying to find his daughter or something. He gets tied up
- 44:14in all this. But what's going on is they're trying to buy up all
- 44:17this land in Oakland to build a Raiders stadium, and people are budgeting.
- 44:23They're like, no, I don't. I don't want to sell it.
- 44:25Like it's like there's no eminent domain. They if they don't want to sell,
- 44:29they don't. And they just start being criminals and blowing up these buildings
- 44:31and you know, or murdering people and just trying they need that land,
- 44:37they need that land, and it's just it's kind of you know, where
- 44:38would I say art imitates life or something like that. Yeah, but here's
- 44:45the kicker. So Biden was basically vacationing last week in Rhode island with his
- 44:53shriveled up old man body on the beach, and an independent journalist I think
- 44:59it was an independent went up to him and said, hey, what's your
- 45:02thoughts on MAUI. You know, you guys gonna help him out or whatever,
- 45:06And he literally said, no comment. President of the United States,
- 45:10right says no comment to write an emergency that so he immediately immediately gets backlash
- 45:15online on x as he should. Right, that was not good, mister
- 45:20president. And I guess he vowed every citizen is gonna get seven hundred dollars.
- 45:24Oh thank you? Oh yes, It's like this is a president the
- 45:30history of United States, accord. I remember Trump gave me six hundred for
- 45:35doing nothing, not losing a house, true, not having to up my
- 45:38entire family watch. So I think seven hundred dollars per resident that was affected
- 45:45comes out to like two million dollars. Now, two days after the Russian
- 45:49invasion of Ukraine, we sent one hundred billion dollars to Ukraine. I didn't
- 45:53know we had a budget like that. We don't. We don't. We
- 45:57don't have a budget like that. We have a is it all or whatever
- 46:00the hell it is. I just think it's a slap in the face,
- 46:07and I think two Americans. Absolutely yeah, I think. I think the
- 46:10Great Awakening is happening. I think people are starting to really realize, you
- 46:15know, like what's going on in the world. It's only getting worse around
- 46:19here. It really is. Every time you turn around, there's something new
- 46:22that like you almost have to convince yourself like no, I'm reading this,
- 46:27like this actually happens. It's like, what else is left to I shouldn't
- 46:30say that, Let's not put then to the universe. I dont want to
- 46:31say what else is have to happen? Because Lord knows, people are getting
- 46:35creative. Life's creative. I can't keep up saw me and the other day
- 46:39of memes of the month yea, and like January was like that cop that
- 46:44was banging everybody in Ohio or whatever. And then then it was the it
- 46:47was the Chinese balloon was like whatever month, and then bud Light was April.
- 46:52It was like, oh yeah, yeah, what are we going to
- 46:55scratch off this month? Oh man? Before we get into our epic jelly
- 47:01roll concerts. One last thing came across the newsphy the last couple of days,
- 47:06and I fell hook line and sinker right off the rip. I'm so
- 47:09upset with myself or fallen for this. So Michael oher U was the main
- 47:15character in the blind Side movie, and I'm sure everyone's kind of seen it
- 47:20or read it, but for those that haven't, the movie was blind Side.
- 47:22Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for her role the Two Family. I
- 47:27think that's how I bounced it. Uh, Basically, in the movie they
- 47:34took him in. Uh. They never actually said they adopted him in the
- 47:38movie. They No, they didn't, they didn't know. Uh. They
- 47:45said that he was part of the family and it was a conservatorship, they
- 47:49had legal guardianship, that it was very correct. Yes, that's what they
- 47:55said. So anyway, so he comes out the other day, like two
- 48:00days ago, three days ago, and says he's suing the family. Basically,
- 48:05these people that took him in for fifteen million dollars because he felt that
- 48:08he was duped was never a member of the family. They only used them
- 48:13for profit off the movie and likenesses and all this stuff. So I'm reading
- 48:19this thing and I'm like, those motherfuckers, I'm like, that is not
- 48:22a nice story. Like the blind Side was a good story, right,
- 48:25like, how do you take advantage of it? Like that's that was your
- 48:29goal? Yeah, and I'm reading, I'm like, you know, I'm
- 48:30actually told my girlfriend as the dinner table, I'm like, look at this,
- 48:32these fucking people. I read the word conservatorship was thrown on, which
- 48:36would be even worse. So not only did you lie to this kid and
- 48:40deceive him, but now you're basically controlling everything that he's ever worked for and
- 48:45is the reason why you got your claim to fame. Okay, you ready
- 48:51for this? Yeah that's all. It's all a lie. What means all?
- 48:54He made it up? So they countered, they write, so I
- 49:00felt I was just reading, I'm like, how fuck this? Now all
- 49:02these like you know, race card people are coming out like, oh those
- 49:06fucking people takingvantage of a black kid, blah blah blah blah. So just
- 49:10one day later it comes out that the two eyes are like, whoa time
- 49:15out? Like we explained to him along the whole time that it was a
- 49:21conservatorship. He had eleven brothers and sisters. They literally met with the family,
- 49:27took him in to help him. Right now, He's went on to
- 49:34the NFL, played like eight years for the Ravens and a couple other teams
- 49:37has been retired for seven and all of a sudden just comes out with this.
- 49:45So they're like, wait a second, no, and they almost like
- 49:49have like it's going to go back and forth for a while. Yeah,
- 49:52but again it's like in the in today's media and world, whoever fires that
- 49:59first shot, that's what they go after, Like okay, okay, oh
- 50:01my god, a black kid with a white family took him in. No,
- 50:04it's all fucking bullshit. Well we'll hold on a second. Wasn't So
- 50:07now they're like countersuing him and they're like like just that for money, just
- 50:12for like yold yet, don't fame our game, Like just stop that.
- 50:15And now people are online telling Sandra Bullocks she needs to fucking return her academy.
- 50:20Yeah. I saw that. I was like, don't you take that
- 50:22away from miss Sandra over there. She did a damn good job at miss
- 50:25leading a script that was given to her. She had no part with that.
- 50:31Don't you take that lady's skills away? Sandra. Oh, you're a
- 50:36big Bullock fan. I wouldn't do a big one, but I do enjoy
- 50:37her movies. I think it's so Yeah, so that was It's it's story
- 50:44I'm following. Yeah, I don't know which side to believe, but I'm
- 50:45just mad at myself that I originally gradually Okay, this guy said it,
- 50:50so it must be true. Yeah, and I should know better than that.
- 50:52And maybe he is. Maybe he is correct, maybe, but we
- 50:55shall see. How do you go that long with like, at least not
- 50:59getting the like it's almost like the Britney Spears thing, get it like,
- 51:01and Britney Spears was her actual biological parents. Yeah, you know, like
- 51:06this is just something that took you in and helps you out. And yeah,
- 51:08but if you do the whole time dollars in your career, yeah,
- 51:12and all of a sudden you want to be like, h yeah, I
- 51:14know you didn't do that to me. It's like, so, yeah,
- 51:17I'll be following that. Yeah, all right, last story, that story,
- 51:23but experience. So I've been listening to jelly Roll since Dead Man Walking
- 51:34came out, So you don't know what jelly roll. He's these country rock,
- 51:37yes, country gospel rock gospel former rapper, but he doesn't do any
- 51:44of that stuff. I mean he kind of raps a little bit. His
- 51:46early stuff was definitely that yeah, but no one knows that that was when
- 51:51he was grinding. Yeah. It always takes one song that Yeah, it
- 51:53always takes you know, one or two songs to get you going. Yeah,
- 51:58so you know he crossed over. He came across my Octane, which
- 52:01is like hard rock on my serious satellite. I'm like, wow, that
- 52:06song's pretty catchy. What song did you get? That? Was Deadmian walking
- 52:09Okay, and then saved me. It came through a couple of months later,
- 52:14and then his documentary came out on Hulu. So I watched that.
- 52:17I'm like, I didn't know. I knew nothing about Bunny. I know
- 52:21who she was, but I didn't know they were together. Yeah, and
- 52:23so whatever. So I'm like, you know, this guy's pretty cool.
- 52:27And then I saw that he's playing in Bridgeport. I gotta go see him.
- 52:30So we end up getting tickets and I was pretty pumped for the show.
- 52:37So it was me and my girlfriend, my buddy John and his brother
- 52:39and sister in law and we walk up the plank at the train station.
- 52:46To my surprise, it's none under the home may get you on camera,
- 52:52None of them. This girl a picture her in nineteen eighty, same age,
- 52:59same age nineteen eighty going to Foxborough to see Guns and Roses in nineteen
- 53:05eighty eight. That's what she was just like with Taylor, we coordinated outfits,
- 53:13okay, Like she was going to see Motley Crow, you know,
- 53:16at let's say, Giant Stadium, and they were at the same train station
- 53:22waiting to go and not gonna lie like when you I saw you and you
- 53:27like stood up and I gave you a hug. I look back at my
- 53:29girlfriend. She's like, she doesn't really know you, Like that's Corey from
- 53:31work. Relax, it's just me. Don't worry. I'm harmless. And
- 53:35I'm like, I will say this, you two are the hottest girls there.
- 53:39And I don't know if this is a compliment or not, but like
- 53:43I don't think it was too hard to be the too hot girls there.
- 53:46Well, so here's the thing. Griend of course, of course, so
- 53:52Taylor actually she wasn't a big fan either, but I have been. So
- 53:57I saw his song save Me before that in Need a Favor, and then
- 54:00What's It Chapel came out and I was just like, Wow, this is
- 54:04a phenomenal album, Like every song on there is just so it's just such
- 54:08a nice transition for him for what he's been pursuing as music, and for
- 54:14him to just thrive and for everybody to like just be fully immersed in what
- 54:17he's about in his struggle and his I would just say, he just seems
- 54:21like a very real individual, Like this guy's been through real life shit and
- 54:24he didn't you know, he's not here too. Obviously, he's here for
- 54:28money. I mean he's making a lot of it out well, you know,
- 54:31but you know it's jail, right, He spent quart in his documentary,
- 54:36he spent most of his young adult life in jail. I would say
- 54:39fourteen to twenty one if you're correct. He was incarcerated as a juvie,
- 54:44you know, just in and out, in and out, you know,
- 54:45no where to go, and then had his daughter and really just tried to
- 54:49turn it around and obviously had to grind through it to get to where he
- 54:52is now. But I think it really deserves that. I'm a big fan
- 54:55of his. I think I cried like four times during his concert NOBE.
- 55:00So here's here's my highs and lows from the show. It was a little
- 55:02churchy. We were in a sarmon for sure. The first thing was the
- 55:07crowd. It was. It took me about three minutes to realize what was
- 55:12going on. It was because I've been to a million of rock concerts.
- 55:17It was the rock crowd, morphed. I've been to a couple of country
- 55:23concerts, which is usually we I only go because of the hot chicks.
- 55:27Right this years ago before I was dating, call not the only one.
- 55:30And and I'm like, okay, and then I'm not gonna lie. The
- 55:37girls at the rock show are not always the girls at the country show.
- 55:42Okay, I could say the offense a little bit different. Yeah, yeah,
- 55:45the body type. Okay, I don't want to offend anybody, but
- 55:51they seemed to two worlds collide, yes at this show. And so it
- 55:57was like it was like a really good looking, chubby rock check. I
- 56:02didn't want to put it like it was. It was a mixed and and
- 56:09and I'll add I'm forty nine, so I can't joke about age, but
- 56:13like the age level was a little up too, I think you know what
- 56:16I mean. But there was also children there. There was like four year
- 56:19olds. Like I was in the pit area and there was like a nine
- 56:22year old. So you're in the pit, Yeah, I'm not far behind
- 56:24behind the pit. I was like dead center stage, almost point number two,
- 56:32the gospel side of it, right, Yeah, I had a guy
- 56:37next to me standing on his chair, standing on the chair, standing on
- 56:40the chair. When he first came out with like a sign that I said,
- 56:45you know, you saved me crying, like just bawling, and it
- 56:52first hit me. I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool. And then
- 56:54I saw another dude doing it, and I saw people in the pit,
- 56:58and I saw people over here, and then now my cynical side comes out,
- 57:01and I'm just like, okay, all right, all these dudes are
- 57:07going home. We're fucking doing like a heroin like this is like oh okay.
- 57:13I always say if you save one, then you've done your job.
- 57:15So I'm sure he's saved one, but saved them one night, right.
- 57:21Yeah. I'm just like really like, I don't know, I've never I've
- 57:25ever like I felt like I said, like a like a like a Joel
- 57:30Austein show or something, you know, like he pulled out a guitar and
- 57:34started rocking. Yeah, that's that's nothing against the show show, just just
- 57:37the crowd part of it. Yes. So then Jelly comes on and I
- 57:42thought he was phenomenal, like like I think this, like not to make
- 57:45fun of his weight, but he's really really big. He's a big man.
- 57:49And it was fucking hot out Yeah, and to be on stage and
- 57:53pump out you know, he pumped out like fifteen twenty songs. Yeah he
- 57:59did. He did a great job. He really get it too. I'm
- 58:00so happy I went. And he sounds great live. You know, he
- 58:06doesn't sound far off from it, you know. I liked his little cult
- 58:08forty five bit, you know, like it's a little he broke it up
- 58:10with you know, some songs and everybody wouldn't know if you're new to being
- 58:14a Jelly roll fan, you know. I thought that was cool good And
- 58:16then he did like a little melody before that too with some like a bix
- 58:20of like four songs. I don't remember what they were, but no,
- 58:23Yeah, I thought it was a great concert. Yeah, I enjoyed it.
- 58:27I would girl see him again, Yeah, definitely. I thought,
- 58:31So, who was the Jettings who was Struggle Jennings? So is that is
- 58:35that Wayne and Jennings kid who was a country star? I'm assuming I have
- 58:38no idea. And then like but he was I thought the girl that I
- 58:43didn't see her, but the girl that started the opener. I thought she
- 58:47came out with struggle. Oh yeah, I just looked that song unto the
- 58:51night. I was like this girl gotta see. Yeah. I was in
- 58:52the back drinking a two rus, but like when she came back out,
- 58:55like wow, it feels pretty good. Yeah. But he was another one.
- 58:59He had that whole like, uh, you ever been in prison,
- 59:02and like half the crowd's like it's like Jesus Christ. I mean, yeah,
- 59:07there's definite people thats in my crowd for sure. You know, I
- 59:10can't how many kids you got. I got four at ten, and it's
- 59:14like okay, it's like how many people here have gone out of prison and
- 59:17take care of the kids being to me? And they're all like yeah,
- 59:21And I'm like, okay, I gotta go. I go to the bathroom.
- 59:23Where's Jelly roll? Get Jelly out of here? Jelly. I don't
- 59:29know. I just I think I'm just getting more and more cynical in my
- 59:31older age, and like just like okay, really like I've had music that's
- 59:36moved me to the point where, like five minutes after the song, I'm
- 59:38like okay, I'm on my next thing, Like, and everyone's different.
- 59:42Like, if it really actually helps somebody, that's great. Yeah. But
- 59:45like one of my favorite bands is Shined Down, and they try to preach
- 59:49this ship too, And I read them online. I read their fan comments.
- 59:52You're like, oh my god, you're a song this and that saved
- 59:53my life and I got out of the doldrums of the deepest depression and drugs
- 59:59and ship. And I'm like, you're just looking for attention on your keyboard.
- 1:00:02Yeah, it's like cynical. I mean, do you think this should
- 1:00:06happens? I mean I kind of feel the same way too, So I've
- 1:00:07been on twenty nine so I have no excuse. However, I will say,
- 1:00:10like for me, person like, music can be therapeutic, but it's
- 1:00:14not the reason that it drags you out of the depths of your demons.
- 1:00:16I mean, you can definitely listen to it while you're doing all that soul
- 1:00:19searching and that work and you know, trying to be better for yourself.
- 1:00:22You know, they heard the music high, like they first heard it high.
- 1:00:25They listen to it high. So at what point when they're like so
- 1:00:30high, they're like, oh, that one lyric that's what's going to change.
- 1:00:32That's that's my ticket out. Yeah, that's still little. I mean
- 1:00:36their moment of clarity. I think that that's a little too tangible to say
- 1:00:40that saved me by Jelly Roll is the reason why you be addiction and support.
- 1:00:46But if it is, hey, you know what, I'm glad you're
- 1:00:49here. Uh, you know whatever, It's cool. I mean the music
- 1:00:53is great, and I will say it was like I was emotional during I
- 1:00:58mean his song you said you cried four times. That was not a joke.
- 1:01:00I mean I did cry. It was also after that, what did
- 1:01:04you quit like drugs? You quit alcohol? No? No, No,
- 1:01:06he didn't Sunday No, he just I just really enjoyed his music and his
- 1:01:09message. No. But the reason I was emotional like his concert was because
- 1:01:13it was the year anniversary of a very good friend of mine that died.
- 1:01:15So I was at that concert and then just I guess being in the experience,
- 1:01:20it was just it was emotionally sometimes I like to shed a little DearS.
- 1:01:23All right, but what do you think about the venue all at all?
- 1:01:30I think it's a decent venue. I would suggest this do what we
- 1:01:32did. Take the train in convenient, how was the train home wasn't just
- 1:01:37as convenient. Ye, I wasn't crowded, it wasn't. I didn't even
- 1:01:40get my ticket even get checked. I still have two tickets two in there.
- 1:01:44I'm like I could have just I'm like, we're not even gonna need
- 1:01:46him. It's like really, I'm like they checked him in Like Westport,
- 1:01:49you can get pretty much anywhere, pretty much to Bridgeport without being checked without
- 1:01:53being checked, yeah, which I thought was cool because if I had to
- 1:01:57drive in that after drinking and just you know, being on my feet for
- 1:02:00that amount of time, I probably wouldn't have been too happy. I walk
- 1:02:04in and I get me Nicole two twenty ounce hard tease. They weren't even
- 1:02:09fucking they're good ones, they were. They were these ones I don't want
- 1:02:15to I don't want to call him because they've been on the show before.
- 1:02:16But they were garbage with tip with a twenty percent tip forty six eighty for
- 1:02:22two fucking beers. Yeah like okay, come on, yeah, that's it.
- 1:02:29And then I found someone I worked there that I knew a long time
- 1:02:30ago, and I will never get her in trouble or him, I mean
- 1:02:34him or her or somebody uh, and I got hooked up a little bit,
- 1:02:37which was nice. But but again, like that's just that's there should
- 1:02:42be a law that, like you cannot mark up something that's a certain extent.
- 1:02:45Yeah, like that can probably cost at most four dollars. Yeah that's
- 1:02:53high. Yeah, and you're selling it for twenty so you're marking it up
- 1:02:58five. Like that's little thin insane. As if we didn't pay money to
- 1:03:02come to a venue for the tickets, the parking, if you or you
- 1:03:06don't train ticket, if you suck, I'm all, I'm all. You
- 1:03:08know, I'm in the We're in the industry. Yeah, I get it.
- 1:03:12I've been to plenty of you know, Red Sox games, Yankee games,
- 1:03:15Patriots games, you know, sh it's expensive, but I felt that
- 1:03:19was overly especially like Bridgeport. I didn't get away with like fifteen bucks maybe
- 1:03:25you know, like still on the high end, but like fifteen sixteen bucks
- 1:03:29okay for like a hard tea, yeah okay, but like go on twenty
- 1:03:34two dollars. I went right to the bar and then after I finished that,
- 1:03:37I couldn't even barely finish it, and I went to got a beer
- 1:03:42or got a like a the vodka Seltzer and a can and then a shot
- 1:03:45of jackfire. And I did the shot and it was jack honey. And
- 1:03:53then you're like, ohh, I'm sorry they poured me in the jack fire
- 1:03:57back. I'm like, wait, I just ripped a twenty hour two shots
- 1:04:03and now I gotta watch gospel for a fucking Spencer Jennings what's his name?
- 1:04:08Struggles? We'll get it close enough, all right, before we go,
- 1:04:14why don't you tell the audience what you're up to right now while you were
- 1:04:17late today. So I just started my career as a correctional nurse. So
- 1:04:24I am in the academy. I would be there for another two and a
- 1:04:27half weeks and then I'll go to my facility, which is Cheshire Prison as
- 1:04:34a nurse. Yes, I've been a nursing since twenty twenty two. Okay,
- 1:04:40so you're transitioning to be at a correctional facility. Yes, So this
- 1:04:45this isn't like a long process. This is just for me. It's been
- 1:04:47a long nursing part you've done though, yeah, but now this part of
- 1:04:53it is what four weeks? Yeah? Well even just getting hired. I
- 1:04:57applied for this back in March. Okay, and I just it was my
- 1:05:00start day. So it's been a long road. But I mean, I've
- 1:05:04had a male prison. Oh jesus, I know. So the good thing
- 1:05:14is what I've heard is that most of the medical staff or female, which
- 1:05:16is cool. So I've got some carmadorie. I'm well aware it's a prison,
- 1:05:21but the academy right now, with the protocols we are learning literally,
- 1:05:26so right now it's basically employee conduct, which is huge. All the directives
- 1:05:30we didn't get banging the prisoners, Yeah, that's jail time. I can

- 1:05:54smart enough not to get caught. But but maybe he was at the jail
- 1:05:57roll concert. No future husband, he was. He looked around like,
- 1:06:04okay, let me with you. There's alt jury. Sweet though I don't
- 1:06:10know who's up there. I don't know. I don't I was in the

- 1:06:17actually there was So I was standing next to a woman and her daughter,
- 1:06:21daughter was sixteen. She was a nurse as well. So the four of
- 1:06:26us just kind of, you know, we're chatting moll Struggle. Jennings is
- 1:06:28playing Waiting for Jelly Roll and there's this girl behind me and this girl dropped
- 1:06:32when I tell you like her man caught her, but she went really so
- 1:06:39her and I the nurse, we turned around and we're like, oh shit,
- 1:06:42no, like she's had a couple of drinks. I've had a couple
- 1:06:45of drinks. And we both looked at each other and we were like,
- 1:06:46okay, we gotta play nurse right now. But it was instant too,
- 1:06:50it's no delight. So we turned around. I'm checking her poll, she's
- 1:06:53like basically starting I'm rubbing the girl. It's like get her back, and
- 1:06:57then all of a sudden, like we're calling for help. That all was
- 1:06:59such pops right up, like like she just woke up from a nap.
- 1:07:03And I'm I'm like, hey, you know where you are and she's like
- 1:07:08yeah, I'm like what happened. She's like I drank a beer and then
- 1:07:13I smoked some weed and I was like, oh, this was your first
- 1:07:15cross fade experience. I was like, oh, you need some water and
- 1:07:20maybe like a little air you need And I was like, did you take
- 1:07:25anything, and she's like no, no, no, don't do anything.
- 1:07:27I'm like, all right, well you dropped like pretty quick. You're lucky
- 1:07:30you had two people here like that could have ended very badly for you.
- 1:07:32So she gets taken out and then they end up coming back. They hopped
- 1:07:36back into the fence and right back where they got taken away from. Obviously
- 1:07:40security comes up. You can't do that, but they were like no,
- 1:07:43no, no, we're fine, We're back right where we started. She
- 1:07:45hugs me on the way out. She's like thank you, and I'm like,
- 1:07:48take care of yourself. In the summer, it's really hot, like
- 1:07:53Oyster Fest on Saturday. People just drop yeah. And then like like six
- 1:07:57minutes later, they were like, all right, can I get a drink?
- 1:07:59We're like no, you got to drinks supporter. My friends like pop
- 1:08:03right out drinks, but like please don't pass out right here. So uh
- 1:08:11well, go uck with that. Thank you. Yeah, no, seriously,
- 1:08:14definitely the best of luck to you with that. Thank you. Ye
- 1:08:16some stories, Yeah, yeah, no, we'll definitely have a follow up.
- 1:08:20I'm thinking I didn't know you're in Vegas, so I'm thinking we could
- 1:08:25do a show down the road. I have some of the literally funniest Vegas
- 1:08:30stories, like like better, better than the Hangover stories. I'm not even
- 1:08:35lying. I have some of the I haven't them on this show yet,
- 1:08:42but I'm sure you have plenty and we can just go story for stories.
- 1:08:45I will not name any names for the sake of them and their married lives.
- 1:08:50But I really got some incredible stories from Vegas, and some of them
- 1:08:55do include me that are just pretty fucking, you know, humiliating, but
- 1:09:00just you're in Vegas, so it doesn't really mean it doesn't matter. It's
- 1:09:01it's a cloak, exactly, Coy. Thanks very much for coming on.
- 1:09:06Guys. Go see Sound of Freedom. Research some of the stuff if you
- 1:09:10want. I really don't know how to help in this situation outside of maybe
- 1:09:15donating some money, but I hate that too because you don't really know where
- 1:09:18it goes. You don't see the unfortunately nobody you know. But maybe there's
- 1:09:23you know, one of those like you know, a rescue child that you
- 1:09:26can send money to or you know, or something I don't know. I
- 1:09:30think awareness would just be a good start, but your own kids make you
- 1:09:33always know what your kids are doing online. It's probably the best way to
- 1:09:36look at it, because there's predators everywhere, and they're sick, they're demented,
- 1:09:41they're fucked up, and if I had one right in front of me,
- 1:09:44I'd probably fucking stick a knife in his throat. So just just look
- 1:09:48after the kids. It's all about the kids core. Thanks so much,
- 1:09:53good luck to the job. I will see you. We got the big
- 1:09:55Oysterfest Saturday. So oh wait, I'm not dropping the shows off the oo.
- 1:09:59There's no you first going up this Sturday. Did a time hoop?
- 1:10:05All right, take everybody, I'll talk to you next week. Bye.
