• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: Apparently, he still does do that job, but she did it on her camera.

  SPEAKER_01: They GoFundMe suspended it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Does the woman have cancer?
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, but uh go the the the mother has cancer, but GoFundMe suspended it because of all the fakeness around it because the daughter staged the whole video of this old man carrying these suitcases up the steps.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: I hate this life sometimes because I watched another video yesterday of this guy crying on the on an airline, and it was because his well, according to the video, his wife died and he wanted to have an empty seat next to him, so that's where she used to always fly next to him.
• 4:20

• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: I guess.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Why play with my emotions like that?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I get the point.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: I understand wanting to help your parents, and you know, y maybe your dad really does that, but it it takes away the realness of a stranger's video camera, right?
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, their doorbell camera, picking up the the video of this old man carrying these suitcases up the stairs, you know, struggling to do it.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: And of course,$700,000 worth of people were sitting there going, Yes, we will help you pay for your cancer treatment.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: And now I don't think they're gonna see a dime of it because it came out where the daughter literally goes, I did, yes, it's true, but I staged the whole thing.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: And you really played with our emotions.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: If she does have cancer, scam artists.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if she does have cancer, I'm totally fine with some of the money going towards her cancer treatments because that's what the purpose of the GoFundMe was.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you don't feel that it's a little icky that you now know the entire production that made it online that staged getting$700,000 was rigged up.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: That is, but the the the the bottom line is she does have cancer and does need financial assistance.

• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, let's give her financial assistance.
• 5:46

• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: I I agree.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying, you know, everybody's going, well, this now feels not as nice.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Well, are you are you gonna ask for your money back from a cancer patient?
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: No, I don't know what happens with GoFundMe suspending their accounts.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: What happens to that money?
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: Is it somehow get sent back?
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm still fine.
