They are listen I'm part Ukrainian I don't get involved in wars but I am part Ukrainian actually it's weird because it's not really technically Ukrainian. My Ukrainian ancestors and my Polish ancestors intermingled and moved up into the Carpathian Mountains as that's what those people do over there. Well they made their own breed of people called Rusin R-U-S-Y-N-R and that's Andy Warhol is a famous Rusin person.
SPEAKER_11:And that covers numerous geographic areas so it's not just it's not country specific.
SPEAKER_06:It's like Jews are everywhere I mean they have a country too but you know what I'm saying like the diaspora as they call it is wide you know and it's so yeah yeah um so yeah that was cool we got the windows um all kinds of crazy artwork coming in to make the house pretty so I cannot wait to show everybody when it's done it's gonna be it's gonna be beautiful it's gonna be great it's gonna be the best little thing ever.
SPEAKER_11:I mean to be fair we had some good bones to start with so yeah now we're just yeah now we're playing a different game yeah and so we missed an entire episode we did not publish an episode on September cases and fried chicken that's what had us busy let me tell you uh fried chicken fried chicken yeah we had rofo like nine times right yeah yeah we did oh my God here's the thing is I don't go to Maryland it doesn't matter what happens it doesn't matter if I go to Maryland I'm getting Rofo. Like it doesn't matter if I'm there on a court case a family reunion uh I'm getting Rofo. Even if I'm going to a meal if I'm going to a meal I'm getting Rofo to take home I don't mess up a work picnic anything. I could have just eaten fried chicken and I'm like you know what I could go for? Rofo.
SPEAKER_06:I love it. So I guess let's talk about the court case for five minutes. I don't want to give this no no I don't want to give it I don't want to get into it too much.
SPEAKER_11:But yeah we had to go to court case over so we had to go to TikTok court uh Judge Judy presiding uh I wish we had judge Joe Mathis.
SPEAKER_08:Now let me understand something here you told that other lady that she could she couldn't call you uh what what happened there?
SPEAKER_11:I mean that's oh that was Judge Joe Brown not Judge Mathis sorry that was Judge Joe Brown.
SPEAKER_06:No but I mean that's exactly what happened I sent a personal text to a lady in Texas who I knew from TikTok she shared that personal text with the person I was talking about while they were allegedly in the hospital allegedly having a stroke and those two proceeded for the next two to three weeks to try to destroy my entire life it turned into a whole thing like in they were con they contacted the employer they were like I mean it just got ridiculous lying in court and I don't care what anybody says I watched you perjure yourself because I know the truth and I watched you lie to a judge.
SPEAKER_11:So you perjured yourselves congratulations I'm not saying whatever you can come after me. Defamation slander those things you it has to be done with mil int ill intent and it has to be lies and that's none of these things they committed slander a hundred percent they're I mean not slander they committed perjury is what happened.
SPEAKER_06:In court and then defamation but I'm just saying it flat out in terms of you perjured yourself in front of a judge that they lied they lied right are they perjuring themselves once but this lady has filed two peace orders on me in the state of Maryland she's taking advantage of the loopholes in the court system. They call it the midnight loophole yeah I mean like several people in county court admin down in Maryland people who know the system sheriffs have told me the same thing it's a loophole and petty ass bitches use the loophole to get people in the system so that they can say I got a peace order on somebody well the peace order only applies if I've threatened physical harm to you or harassed you I didn't either the judge has already said it very plain and clear.
SPEAKER_11:He said do not bring this into my courtroom again I got real crimes out here I'm worried about people are shooting each other people are stealing things people are doing drugs people are killing each other and you're out here bringing TikTok in the court fucked up dude fucked up I know and the fucking bitch is just mad because I caught her in a lie.
SPEAKER_06:Like she's lying about her health and I was able to see that because I can see when people are lying like I'm just good at it.
SPEAKER_11:I can't help that I'm good at detecting lies like but that's all these internet grifters are good for anyhow so it's easy to spot them.
SPEAKER_06:Right and that's what that's exactly it. So yeah like did it put a roadblock in my life that I now have to address yes I you know there's lawyers involved now and my employers involved and all the things right so did it put a roadblock in my life absolutely it slowed me down on getting some shit done it's a pain in the ass that's what it is but that's it's a pain in the ass that I she didn't hurt me in any way shape or form. Right I still have my job I still have my real life things and commitments and friends none of the people who actually know me or care about me were impacted at all. Anybody who fucking was contacted by her knows she's a liar but I want to bring some fun and funny to this because you've seen her TikTok videos right you see the filters that she uses right so this is me. I have no filter on right now this is just me hair and makeup and a ring light that's it this is what I look like in real life right my TikToks are heavily makeup but you can tell it's me. This when you when you so she showed up at the last piece hearing um let me just take it so let me take us over here because let me take us over here and tell you about this girl.
SPEAKER_11:Nah seriously though um let me tell you it was like I said like she said I seen people use filters I seen people make themselves look skinny when they were fat. I mean seem people seem they fix their teeth, fix their eyes, fix whatever goofy thing they got going with them but I don't care I mean I could give a fuck I don't give a shit. But like this per I was unrecognizable. Like I mean you would never if you said match these people up like a guess who game you'd never put the two of them together because it's so completely off base from what you're fucking looking at. And then what did you say so she basically showed up to court like on camera but like the golden steak killer right I well I thought they were going to wheel her in a little sympathy photo shout out Joe D'Angelo Golden Steak killer how they wheeled him in to make him look sickly. Meanwhile he's been fine prior to that and everybody said that but then like you got to get the you get the sympathy photo and I thought that's what they were going to try to do. And uh but I mean she still tried to get it it was so biz it was one of the most bizarre court proceedings I've ever been a part of and I've been a part of some proceedings. Let me tell you this guy's been the court don't let it fool you I don't hide about my past countless arrest countless court cases in and out I get it I've seen and not only that but I've sat as being you know when you go to court you got to sit through everybody else's shit. So like I've heard it all I've been to court I've heard so many crazy stories but nothing compares. I wish I could have had her like been inside the judge's head to be like you're not gonna fucking believe it we got TikTok court over here.
SPEAKER_06:It's so embarrassing to my it is embarrassing. As a person with a career and like adult goals and a business somebody like I'm not knocking disability because I understand why there are people on disability but these fucking slug ass job of the hut keyboard fucking warriors who like I don't even know what she thought she was going to get out of this. She all she did was like cost me a little bit of money which is going to cost her money in the long run, right? Well I mean it's not because she's never gonna pay it people that you see that don't have to be she has been having money she doesn't have she was with her parents she's claiming she's been working she hasn't worked for our company she said she worked for our company for 18 years.
SPEAKER_11:Meanwhile we know for a fact that is absolutely unequivocally 100% not true never did not going to doesn't now right and she like saying that like no you are a 40 something year old woman who looks like she's 73 that lives with your mom or whoever like with you like it's just a bizarre thing and then to sit there and act do this whole act on K it's it's bizarre. And the bitch bizarre it's something you see on a Netflix documentary where you're like what the fuck who would even do this guy that pretended he was British remember he came into court and he had oxygen oh yeah that was a wild documentary what would Daniel somebody he like pretended that oh d you go after me that I don't even remember what he was doing like it was so bizarre. These are the type of people we're talking about though this is the level of insanity that we're talking about this could very easily be switched out for one of these like it never got it never turned into anything that crazy like you know what I mean like this guy where he was like involved in this whole like criminal thing but like this is just small time potatoes but this is the level of crazy that we're talking about like it's yeah all of these people it's this it's that woman on TikTok I mean the TikTok religion mom member that was like listening to that lady it's these are the level of crazies and the the internet just brings them out man TikTok social media it brings them out because they make a some connections before these people you turn them loose in the world they can't make a connection because they're fucking weird and everybody knows it.
SPEAKER_06:That's exactly it you have no friends in real life you meet some people online you present a false version of yourself that looks different has a different life because in her different life she comes from a big Arab family bitch you live with your white mom and your white stepdad you don't live with no fucking big Arab family she lies about everything. But the worst part about it is you got these other people like Lena the fucking bitch in Texas that bitch is a master manipulator like this and fucking pulls their strings and tells them what to do. The Amanda fucking said twice in two different posts about me that she was reading from a script. Bitch if you're reading from a script who are you fucking conspiring with it's crazy. They're fucking crazy. They're crazy but it does so the but ultimately they thought that they were gonna hurt me what they actually did was light a fire on me to write legislation. So now not only am I gonna get the law in Maryland changed so this bitch can't go down and fucking file on a weekend for no reason with no proof but I'm also going to change the laws on how you're on doxing people. I'm going to find attorneys who are willing to back me and I will get it written. That's what they did. They fucking made it worse on themselves.
SPEAKER_11:No I agree. Um yeah and that's the other thing too is these crazy people always have people like that help them but there's a people that are but she'll never get in any trouble because that's the beauty of these people is they know how to manipulate other people into doing their dirt.
SPEAKER_06:Oh she'll get in trouble when I found charges in Pennsylvania. She's gonna get in trouble for at least defamation and electronic harassment all right well so that put a big kind of thing and that started on September 4th right and then in between there you had a tooth emergency that turned into a valga and fear month long thing that I'm still dealing with but finally tomorrow we'll be taken care of.
SPEAKER_11:I'm happy about that. Yeah um yeah so we've been like back and forth running here there and everywhere and in the midst of all that still found time to do comedy shows uh your boy was out here Michael Jordan game six sick got the flu still delivering a clutch no that was uh actually horrible um it was a horrible moment for me because I was dealing with all that um and I was I missed a mic I missed a show like and I don't like that again I got a I found out I have a venue curse that's not something that everybody's dealing with yeah I got a venue curse for Manny's in state college Manny's I'm coming back out there let me tell you John Saxon I want to apologize that's not me I don't like doing that but Manny's I'm coming back out there and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna have a special performance for you I got something you're really gonna enjoy and uh I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it again I'm gonna come up there I'm gonna get it I'm gonna Manny's curse or not they're not stopping me but that no that's I've only ever canceled I've only ever canceled two shows and both of them were at the same place.

SPEAKER_06:Yeah it feels like you're just at a party telling a story and I love it. The vibe is just so good.
SPEAKER_11:So good always so different and the comic lineup it may be an open mic but like it hits like a show. Because everybody there I mean you might have one two but even the people that don't do it very often are like better than like it's creepy how good some of those people are.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah there's some new up and coming kids up there and they are that are like funny as shit dude funny as shit. Yeah they got it they got it well and if you um if you know somebody that owns a restaurant or is looking for a place to run a restaurant um Gamble Mills lost their anchor restaurant this week so they have a kitchen available for I guess rent I don't know or lease who knows talk to them about it if you're that interested yeah it's a great place like you said it's a beautiful spot there's a park right across the street I'm sure it gets a lot of traffic um I mean oh I just it's I love it's a great place yeah it really is and then you did another show this weekend yeah at the raindrop in I want to go back there I like that place I love the people there I it was so much fun yeah we had a we had a great time it was a small sh smaller than expected but it still ended up being a pretty good crowd we had a special guest tagging around with did we have a special guest or were they kidnapped to be there I think they were kidnapped to be there uh ridge her had Christina Mariani tied up in his trunk uh waiting to come in he did crack the door for Ferrair give him that I do give him he had some little snacks in there I just picture in there with like a little pack of like airport peanuts waiting patiently waiting for Ridge to return like it that's a whole thing it's hilarious to even think about that and people to probably people that don't know like people don't have any idea like but like to our comedy friends the idea of like Ridge having like her in his car like and it was just a hilarious situation. Hilarious and then he like walks into the venue and he's like there's another comic with me um you know just saying um sh she can do a couple minutes if nobody minds if nobody minds Ridge if nobody minds Ridge if you would have led with the fact that she was there we might have sold some tickets exactly it now we know she's coming she was not expected to be known that she is one of the funniest comedians in America right now for grocery planned yeah I know it just was a timing thing it worked out but it was always fun to have her on the show. Literally hands down and I'm sorry to any female that listens to me who I've heard and and talk to one of my favorite female comics is G Dubs right GW Nell but my absolute hands down favorite female comic and maybe my favorite rookie comic right now of everywhere is Christina Mariani.
SPEAKER_11:Hands I wouldn't call her rookie she's an experienced veteran. I mean she's a rookie as a rookie in the big world in the big world because she plays with the big dogs she plays with the big dogs she ain't down here on our level we're just compared to us we are we are ticks on if she's a dog if she's a dog we are the ticks that are attached to her behind her ear like she's running with the big dogs dude obviously she's been on the Kill Tony panel forget performer anybody can be a performer but to be invited to be a member of the panel yeah I mean like that we're talking she's big time dude she's selling out places all over the country it's amazing to it's an honor to be able to perform with her an honor.
SPEAKER_06:Absolutely and what's even funnier is and cute and I love is to see the fans right so there was a couple kids fangirling in the audience because oh yeah who she was that's such a big get like you're just sitting at a comedy show where you know that there's gonna be three random white dudes that you never heard of and then all of a sudden somebody that you've seen on Kill T to be fair Andreas isn't white I mean he's white but he's not white that's true and I've seen Andreas perform before and I always thought he was funny but he was bringing you coming to the you look like your meaning is the best line I'm the owner here keep on talking to a line took it he took yeah he was I I I absolutely hands down that's like you said I've seen him before it opened mics and stuff never did it justice. He's a killer it was so good and his crowd work is impeccable. I love yeah he had a great time they had a great time yeah they did they did so yeah and that's what I think a lot of the up-and-coming comics have to realize is that the kids that are going to shows today they cut their teeth on Matt Rafe. They're expecting some playback they might not get roasted but they're expecting some give and take like it's a conversation and I think you guys have to kind of keep that in the back of your mind when you're doing these shows especially if there's a younger crowd.
SPEAKER_11:I mean that's a that's a fair point but I disagree but sure. Where were we going with that? But yeah that was a great show let me tell you what those wings though I'm about to go back up the raindropper just for wings just for wings 10 bucks a dozen and they were delicious. They were so crispy so fresh so good so fresh and so clean yes I've been
SPEAKER_06:A good crispy, like nippy wing, right?
SPEAKER_11:Just a regular wing. We're not looking, it's not rocket science here. Like just a good regular wing, because so many play. Here's my thing is it should be hot and crisp enough to maintain, even though it has sauce on it, it should still maintain the integrity of that crispiness if done correctly. And these were absolutely were. They were money in the bank. I'm thinking about it. My belly's getting happy.
SPEAKER_06:Well, you have pizza party to do later.
SPEAKER_11:I do have a pizza party.
SPEAKER_06:So um, yeah, I like, but again, and I I cannot express this enough with every show that we've been involved with, whether it's as a guest or uh you as a performer or one that we've done, I cannot say enough about middle of nowhere Pennsylvania places. I can't.
SPEAKER_11:The people are they show up and they show out, dude. They show up and they show out like people come out, dude. It's amazing to me the people that are willing to go see live comedy at places that it's not like we're in the city and it's like at the improv or at the comedy club or whatever. No. We're talking about you're in an American Legion in the middle of fucking nowhere, Pennsylvania.
SPEAKER_06:Right.
SPEAKER_11:Ripping.
SPEAKER_06:Ripping. Right, right. And they love it. They invited it.
SPEAKER_11:And they love it. They love it. They love it. They eat it up. They really do.
SPEAKER_06:To be fair, Saturday, you were competing with the Penn State game, though.
SPEAKER_11:Well, I mean, that certainly had an impact on the but I mean we drawing 30 people at a bar in the middle of Pennsylvania on the whiteout game on a Saturday night. That ain't bad. With a couple of guys, no offense to Andreas or Ridge. I don't mean, but with three no-name people. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06:Like relatively unknown, right.
SPEAKER_11:Yeah, well, I'm not knocking them, I'm not saying that, and they do have a good, like, little thing, but I'm just talking about like nobody's like, oh my God, like I'm you know what I mean? Like those people there, most of the people in Marion Center have no clue who Andreas Hovorg, Ridge, Herzberger, and Scott Reed are. I mean, they just unless they've really seen something before and they're in the comedy scene, they don't know who those people are.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_11:But they still turned out because they knew it was good local comedy. They knew that the raindrop puts on good shows.
SPEAKER_06:Right. So they had a little face.
SPEAKER_11:They had a little face, yeah. And lucky for them, all the people involved, it was a great show. I mean, I like I enjoyed the tempo of the show. It was like set correctly. I think everybody had a good time. It wasn't too long, it wasn't too short, it was like just right. Um, yeah, I would absolutely love to do it again. It was a lot of fun.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I did love the pacing of the show. I agree with that. Yeah, it was great. Um but the night before that, we did another um, and I put it in air quotes, celebrity guest judge for a karaoke contest.
SPEAKER_11:We're becoming quite the celebrity karaoke DJs out there in Windburgh.
SPEAKER_06:Well, we're not DJing. Heidi's DJing. DJ's Heidi.
SPEAKER_11:Celebrity guest karaoke. Say it again. We're becoming quite the celebrity guest host karaoke judge.
SPEAKER_06:Isn't that what I said? No, you said DJ.
SPEAKER_11:Guest karaoke host. I mean, guest karaoke judge.
SPEAKER_04:Judge!
SPEAKER_11:Okay, hold on. We're becoming the best celebrity guest karaoke judge in Wimber. There, take that.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, and that's quite an honor in Wimburgh because there's lots of karaoke and maybe more celebrity judges we don't know about all.
SPEAKER_11:There's really not, though. We're pretty much the only ones. And again, we use the term judge very loosely, and even more loosely we use the term celebrity.
SPEAKER_06:It's a great way to do that.
SPEAKER_11:Is there a word for anti-celebrity? I don't know, but that's it.
SPEAKER_06:We're like Z-list.
SPEAKER_11:Yeah, you've heard of the D-List. We're Z-list. Regular people are more popular than we are.
SPEAKER_06:But it's so fun to do. It like, and we always have new people. So shout out Annie. She was a great co-judge. Shout out to Larissa who put up a cool post beforehand. We might have to tap into her for some social media stylings.
SPEAKER_11:Shout out to DJ Heidi because she always puts on a great show. We had a it was a fun time, fun prizes. We had a little bit of prize pool there going. Like this was fun. It was fun the two rounds. Like, I love the bag, the mix-up bag. It makes me, I don't even want to go to regular karaoke to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_06:I know. It's like no fun at this point. And can we just recognize Larry though? I fell in love with Larry.
SPEAKER_12:Larry.
SPEAKER_06:Larry. He was the winner of the contest. Larry is another one.
SPEAKER_04:90 years old.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. And he um served in the Air Force for four years, which you just kind of could see it on him. Um, smoking Sigs and drinking yinling. Wearing his little his little hat. I I just love Larry.
SPEAKER_11:Wearing his Jesus hat. You gotta be, it's a hell it takes a hell of a man to sit in the Windows Slovak club and drink ganglings and smoke cigarettes and wear his Jesus. And sing Elvis and Frank Sinatra and just, yep. Yes, hit it out of the park, Larry.
SPEAKER_06:However, um, Holly, adorable. She is such a free spirit, and her voice was very surprising. And I may or may not have to flash up, and this is why I'm calling out the winners. Craig did a version of YMCA that I just I got behind it. The whole bar was happy, everybody was singing along, and I might have caught a clip of it. Yes, and for those of you who are not listening or who are not watching and just listening, Scott's doing the the the Trump Trump, the Trump dance of jerking two guys off at once. Yes, that dance. Gotta love it. And that brings me to another point, though, is I love a goddamn good club. You've got the Slovak club, you've got the Slovenian club.
SPEAKER_11:You give me an Eastern European and you put the word club behind it, and I'm there, pub. Whether it's the Polish National Alliance, Slovaks, whoever. I don't care. I love them all.
SPEAKER_06:Korean Jesus Club.
SPEAKER_11:Korean Jesus Club, Home Builders Association. Call it whatever you want to. I don't care. I'm there.
SPEAKER_06:Oil changers of America built this country.
SPEAKER_11:Uh what is your Filipino Tilta World workers are this nation's backbone.
SPEAKER_06:Yes. Speaking of Jesus, a woman asked me this week.
SPEAKER_12:Speaking of Jesus? I had a lady asked me this week. She said, What does your Jesus look like? What does my Jesus look like? Yeah, I like the picture. Not to you lighting over family attack with gray lady hair. I thought about that. You know, I honestly think I like the picture of my six cows. You know what I mean? Walks into the last supper.
SPEAKER_07:It's gonna be the last of me off. They come and call me and they're gonna get me too. The Pharisees pilot all over.
SPEAKER_06:People are talking about Jesus. Jesus is everywhere. And so very popular right now.
SPEAKER_11:I think it's PC Jesus. PC Principal Jesus on South Park that's really It is.
SPEAKER_06:No, Jesus is the counselor on South Park.
SPEAKER_11:Yeah, he's PC Principal Jesus. PC principal, PC guidance counselor. Who's the principal? PC principal was the principal. He left. He got fired. They brought in Principal.
SPEAKER_10:PC principal, the guy with the spiked hair, he's no, he got fired.
SPEAKER_06:He didn't get fired. He's still the principal. Jesus is just the counselor. You're looking at it, dumbass. You're looking right into your phone.
SPEAKER_11:I know. That was the joke about it, is that I can't use it.
SPEAKER_06:Okay. So, anyways, I'll get the details on that later because I have I didn't I don't remember an episode where PC principal was fired. I just know that Jesus is just the guidance counselor. But remember, we'll watch it for beer pizza party. So um obviously can't have this episode without talking about the new date in September that we'll never forget, which is Charlie Kirk being assassinated on September 10th. And I'm not smiling because I think it's funny. I'm just smiling because I don't even know how to talk about it. Like we're gonna have to talk about it. I surprised for probably the first time.
SPEAKER_09:No one has to talk about it.
SPEAKER_06:Well, you don't have to talk about it because I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about what it's doing to free speech and the perception of free speech, right?
SPEAKER_11:I'm not sure that we want to get into this. Uh people know how I feel about free speech, and I don't want to sh- I don't want to share that because it's not an opinion that a lot of people agree with.
SPEAKER_06:So it's still your opinion.
SPEAKER_11:I know, I agree. I mean, here's my thing. Well, I I summed it up, but there's a reason I didn't post that George Carlin thing, but that's how I feel about it. I mean, I just don't want to go down that road. I don't want to put us in that imposition.
SPEAKER_06:No, I feel that. I totally feel that.
SPEAKER_11:Because I believe in free speech ultimately. I believe that you can say whatever you want, whenever you want, to whoever you want, however you want. It's an unequivocal, unequivocal, it's a it's a zero-sum game. It's all or nothing. You either buy it all or you buy nothing. And I don't think that uh I I I just you ought to be able to say whatever you want, whenever you want it. It doesn't matter to who. Nobody should be able to shut you down, period. I I I I that is what it is.
SPEAKER_06:No, agree. The FCC should not be getting in on that, right? I agree with you.
SPEAKER_11:Yeah, sure, that side.
SPEAKER_06:But again, I I mean it goes back to, I mean, if you but I also believe in consequences of free speech, right? Which is hard for me to say out loud.
SPEAKER_11:To an extent.
SPEAKER_06:It's hard for me to say out loud right now because of Charlie Kirk, because of being doxxed and for various other reasons. Like as an employee in healthcare, for example, I can't sit here and talk about the state of the healthcare system because I'm a part of it, right? So that would put my job at risk because I could be one exposing trade secrets, but I could also two be talking about something that my employer doesn't agree with. So I don't talk about the state of healthcare in general. And when I say the state of healthcare, I mean healthcare admin and all that. Do I talk about people's health conditions? Yes, on a regular, but I'm also not a doctor. So if you don't if you take my opinion about what I'm talking about, somebody else's health condition as gospel, that's your fault for not doing your research on who I am, right? So I do believe that there can be consequences of free speech. I think people getting fired over having an opinion on Charlie Kirk, it's a gray area. Do I want somebody employed for me who is publicly celebrating people's death? No, because it tells me that they're probably a shitty human being. But if I know them and I know that they're not a shitty human being, and that sometimes they just say things out of character as rage bait that I'm saying. As all people do, that's exactly it. A lot of it is rage bait.
SPEAKER_11:Nobody wants to be held accountable for everything that they've ever said in their lifetime. That's the bottom line of it. But free speech is at the fundamental core principle of everything that we stand for, in sense of I will defend free speech. You know, this as a comedian, you know, even before I became a comedian, how I feel about free speech, absolutely. To me, it is the one thing, it is the fundamental principle. Without it, we have nothing else. It allows for the freedom of religion, it allows for the freedom of to do whatever the fuck you want to do. And the point is that no government should be telling you anything. And I and matter of fact, and I get, and I'm gonna say this too, against this, because I people don't think I hate the fucking government, dude. I hate our government, I hate your government, I hate their government, I hate everybody's fucking government, I hate people having control over other people. I think it's dumb, I think it's stupid, and I think that free speech is the only thing that we have as human beings that allows us to express anything about thought. If you can't express thought, if you can't express feelings, then it's all moot. It's all a stupid point and a stupid game. And I mean it is that. It is that anyway, regardless of that. It it is all just a stupid game, but it is the fundamental thing in which we all have to have if we believe in anything about that.
SPEAKER_06:That's absolutely right. Like I a thousand percent agree with you. But let's talk about who needs to have accountability for their quote-unquote free speech, right? Does somebody like Jimmy Kimmel, for example, need to take accountability for his free speech? No, because he's not deemed a news organization. He's not out here bringing you the news. Did he say something stupid? Yes. I've never thought Jimmy Kimmel was funny. Do I think that Trump had the right to call the FCC on it? Or if he did, or whatever happened there? No, because it's not state TV, right? It's not state TV, it's not government TV. So, but where I do believe that free speech does have a great area with the FCC is in the media. The media who claims to be a news organization, right?
SPEAKER_11:I mean, I bel I I believe that that is like to me, it doesn't matter. Like, call yourself what you want to, you're gonna have bias regardless of whether or not you try to or not.
SPEAKER_06:Right. That's exactly it. So don't so don't try to cover up your bias by claiming to be a news organization. Call yourself an opinion organization and fucking state your opinions with all the bias. Where I think this has all gone too far crazy is that there's rhetoric out there. And this could and so it's it's the risk, it's accountability, right? It's accountability. So is the mainstream news, and I put that in air quotes, responsible for every fucking dumb ass American in this country. And we know that 50% of America does not have the logical thought process to process what is news versus an opinion, right? So is there rhetoric, and yes, because I am doing a whole TikTok thing on this where I'm gonna pull up actual examples, where the mainstream media has used violent or negative rhetoric that could be misconstrued by dumbass fucking programmable people, and that's the problem.
SPEAKER_11:The news is here's where I disagree with you though. I don't think the news people should be beholden to that. I think the FCC and government oversight on television and media broadcasting is bullshit. They should be able to do, say whatever they want to. They shouldn't be held to these standards. The FCC is a made-up organization, it's made-up regulations, controlled by no one. I don't agree with it. I don't agree with any of it. Say whatever the fuck you want, whenever the fuck you want, however the fuck you want to, to whoever you want to. Whatever the consequences are gonna be, that's what the consequences would be.
SPEAKER_06:Would you allow that in school?
SPEAKER_11:What? I wouldn't allow any television in school. Why aren't we watching television?
SPEAKER_06:No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_11:And don't act like I'm not acting like anything. I'm not, I'm having a baby. Having learning how to talk on a normal TV show. But you no, I I disagree that what I'm just saying.
SPEAKER_06:No, no, no, no, no, because that's not even what I'm fucking saying. I'm not talking about TV.
SPEAKER_11:On them, why are you getting angry?
SPEAKER_06:Because you're not listening to me. You're so working.
SPEAKER_11:You said, would you allow that in schools? No, I wouldn't want teachers put.
SPEAKER_06:All right, but I'm gonna restart because I want to cut all this out. So fucking stop. Would you allow somebody to walk into the school and present news to the children every day, what they call news, that is a distorted opinion of what facts are. Why? Because children are easily programmable, right? Most of them are not. Exactly. But when you're a news organization and you're presenting alleged facts, because the word news associates the brain, it's a programming thing. And it is mental programming, it's systemic mental programming. If somebody comes to me and tells me that they're a news organization, and for the last 30 years of my life, I believed that they were only presenting facts. And then all of a sudden, one day, when I like came out of my bubble and learned that one, the education system didn't even teach me how to think logically. And now, two, I've got somebody telling me that they're delivering me news that's actually opinion, and I don't have the brain power to sort through that. It's systemic programming.
SPEAKER_11:I can sort of understand that, but I also don't think why are media companies beholding to telling the truth? Who said that they have to be?
SPEAKER_06:Not all media companies, media companies that call themselves the news.
SPEAKER_11:Right, but that's just defining what you think that the news is.
SPEAKER_06:No, but the news for generations was always just giving you the fact.
SPEAKER_11:That was just uh unspoken like public agreement. Like that wasn't the way that it has to be. I think you're looking at the news as a public service, and I don't believe that it ever was. I always believe that it was part of the brainwashing.
SPEAKER_06:Where are you supposed to get your facts from then? Where do you as a human get your facts?
SPEAKER_11:If you that's just it, that's the problem.
SPEAKER_06:Facts on legislation only exist in Congress documentation. Who is the person who is going to research that for me and convey the the key points minus any emotion or opinion?
SPEAKER_11:That's the problem. There's no one that can do that.
SPEAKER_06:That's why we're in the mess for the news used to be.
SPEAKER_11:That's what the news was supposed to be. But to think that the news didn't do do those things back then just under a much more easy guise because there was no one else, they definitely did. No, I understand. And I I know that that became a thing, but my point though is even before that they were just disguised as those things. Disguised to be bringing you the truth. It's all been under a ruse of the government media military co-op since like I mean, we're talking early before there was television.
SPEAKER_06:Well, I know where I get my news from. I'm just gonna tell everybody. I take the air quote news of the day and I feed it through Chat GPT and I ask them to unpack it for me, minus any emotions or nuance or that's essentially what everybody should be doing, is because you cannot get reliable like there's just no reliable.
SPEAKER_11:This is what people talk about when they talk about there's no reliable institutions. It doesn't matter where it is across the world. Like it's just so correct.
SPEAKER_06:I don't disagree with you, but as a devil's advocate, I have to unpack it, and that's called what I just did to you was a fishbone diagram. Because how are you getting the facts unpacked in a way that makes sense to you? Now, you as a smarter than the average human being can look at what's in a newspaper and you can automatically discern fact from opinion because your brain processes things logically. Not everybody does that. We we hang out with people that are.
SPEAKER_11:That's somewhat true, but I even question every study that I read, every piece of everything that I read, I question. I don't hold any of it as truth. That's my thing as a human. You know that about me. I don't hold anything as truth because I think it's all fucked. I think it's all fucked. We're fucked, they're fucked, we're all fucked.
SPEAKER_06:So in that case, what do you do? Like, where do you like do you know?
SPEAKER_11:You don't you live your life and you have a good time and you try to help and love others and cherish things and let those little things be a part of your life and you tune all that rest of that bullshit out.
SPEAKER_06:Right. Like you almost have to make a conscious decision. Like, I am not meant to be an activist, therefore I'm not engaging in activist rhetoric, right?
SPEAKER_11:If you're I don't engage in any of it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:But so there's the other, so the free speech thing is one of the Charlie Kirk Charlie, I can't talk. So the free speech thing is one of the things that came out of Charlie Kirk, right?
SPEAKER_11:Because obviously And Charlie Kirk would defend me right here, right now, because he also believed that too. Unequivocally, he believed in free speech more than anything else and stood up for it regardless of what it was. He said at best, there is no hate speech. There's terrible speech, there's gross speech, there's sick speech, but all of it, every last little fucking piece of it is protected under the First Amendment, and that's the fucking bottom line, because Stone Cold said so.
SPEAKER_06:No, it's funny that you say that because um so obviously when I was far left, right, I hated the thought of Charlie Kirk. I literally believed with every fiber of my being that he was a racist, extreme dogmatic, blah, blah, blah, so-and-so, right? And then I started following Mega Creators on TikTok and listening to him debate, right? And it's if you are left and someone like Charlie Kirk debates you, there's going to be emotion tied to it because you don't want to hear anything coming from somebody that you feel like you fundamentally disagree with, regardless, right? Um, and the other thing is that he used the Bible as the foundation for some of his arguments, which you and I know, like I know you disagree with that. Um, I disagree with it to a point, but for me, it's not because you and I both agree that the Bible is not factual, right? Or agree with the Bible. You and I agree that the Bible is not factual, right? And I believe that it is a metaphorical guidestone for what argument could be made.
SPEAKER_11:Certainly. My audio cut out completely. Can you hear me?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, it was.
SPEAKER_11:Okay, now you're back. You're back now. Yeah, I could see you talking, but yeah, for a second I couldn't hear you.
SPEAKER_06:So for me, um it was hard even after I came out of the closet as long as I go. It's like I'm just claiming. Um, because I don't even say, like, I believe in the principle of make America great again, but I'm not a diehard Trumpian. Like I see the flaws in his bullshit sometimes, right? And I see where he's he does things to like kind of dig at people and troll people that I don't think is necessary as a grown-up human being. But sometimes, like when you have that competitive edge, it's fun to hurt people's feelings, especially when people are so easily hurt. So I get the troll side of him too. Um, but I don't like for that whole Charlie Kirk thing, what I'm really surprised about are the amount of people who are actually truly moving towards Christianity. And I don't know if that's necessarily a good or a bad thing. I haven't really decided yet because I don't believe in the dogma of church, right? I believe in the community, the fellowship, the morality, all of that good stuff.
SPEAKER_11:Anytime religious people want to get more religious or come back to it, I'm against it. I'm totally against it. I don't think it's a good idea for these people to be putting their ideas together. Um I just don't. I think religion always re leads to the wrong things. Uh grouping people up like that, it just always leads to the wrong things. Always.
SPEAKER_06:It depends on the intent, right? And that's and I've talked about that this past couple weeks is if your intent is fellowship, uh communion.
SPEAKER_11:I mean, I would argue that that was the intent from the very, very beginning.
SPEAKER_06:It is the intent from the very, very beginning. But there are men, right? Fallible, fallible men, as I always say, who become the leaders of organizations like that. So you have to get, you have to discern like, where do I fit in? If you're going to go back to church, and I've said this a couple of times this week, if you are going to go back to church, and it's not because you firmly believe that the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you, but you want to go back for the for the community, then make sure you find a church who's not like who's not dogmatic, not fundamentalist, not lots of other things that are going to cause you problems.
SPEAKER_11:There is churches that view this as an allegorical, metaphorical thing. They are few and far between, though, and much less they are definitely the exception to the norm.
SPEAKER_06:Right. But then the universal unitarianism, which was kind of meant to be that, fucking went the whole other direction.
SPEAKER_11:Well, that's just the problem. That's the problem with everything. It's it just it just falls apart because none of it's built together at any foundation. That's the problem with all everything, all of it. That's the problem with things that we make up. That's the problem with humanity, but that gives me great joy and great pleasure in watching humanity fail and fail again because that's what gives me comedic relief.
SPEAKER_06:And see, for me, like I I have it, like it's it's like an accordion for me, because on one day I believe that everything is already meant to be the way that it's meant to be because of the dynamics of metaphysics. And then on the next day, my and then the next day my emotions take over, and I'm like, well, maybe there is some type of energy that you can move with your intent, right? And I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_11:Sure, yeah, but that's also our fundamental flaw as human beings. But that's the beauty of it, is I think when you really accept sort of the Indian view of or the Eastern view of birth and rebirth, that none of this matters. It's all made up. We're playing a game, and we try to tap into those moments of the universal consciousness whenever we can, but there will be a time when we return to light, and that's that. All the rest of it is just fun and games.
SPEAKER_06:It is, but if it's a good guiding principle to keep you in check. But like fundamentally when you want to, you know, just go ham and like you're going crazy, it's the kind of things that help you like bring yourself back to center and and think through it when you're in in that state. So I don't knock it. I'm not like it's here's what's crazy is, and and we've I can't talk about the why we would eventually be going back to church, but I do want to have that foundation in my home, full stop. And I you're over there rolling your eyes, and I get it. Um, but that's because you were released, raised with a hyper religious life. Mom, who we know doesn't have the fundamental she's naive, right? Right. So it's hard to listen to religion from somebody who's naive.
SPEAKER_11:I recognize all those things and I recognize the good thing that it's done. Like I, you know me, I get like emotional about some things. I recognize it for all those things, but I also am still able to see the forest through the trees. And if fundamentally, like I believe, like you know what I believe, and more closely, my beliefs align with more of an Eastern style version of religion. I don't even call what they do religion because it's not, and they don't consider it really either.
SPEAKER_05:Spirituality is exactly right.
SPEAKER_11:It's just being a part of the universe that we live in and recognizing different things. I don't even think it's that. I think that it's it's a it's just a connection to whatever the thing is that drives everything, the universal whatever.
SPEAKER_06:And my brain is just able to crosswalk that from what my Christian friends believe or what my Hindu friends believe to like a universal thought. Like I'm able to listen to all of it and crosswalk it to what I believe.
SPEAKER_11:Yeah, sure. I can too, and I I am able to do that. But 98% of people are not able to do that.
SPEAKER_06:The fact that we're even sitting here thinking about this is hilarious, though, because at the core nature of our being, like of your and my human being, we are the not the most, right? Because I judge people fucking. You and I both judge people. But outside of judging people, and I judge people for not taking accountability, for not having to get up and go, for those kind of things. But at the end of the day, like you and I both want good for a lot of people. Like we love people. Like there, I'm a promoter. I want everybody around me to eat. I don't want to be the only one ever. I don't want to be the leader. I don't want to be in charge. I just want everyone around me to be comfortable and happy. And I think you are too.
SPEAKER_11:That's the difference between me and you I want to be the leader. Fuck these people. I want them to listen to me so they shut the fuck up.
SPEAKER_06:All right. So we have one more topic to cover before we hop, but I do have to take a quick key break. If you'll give me one second, I'm gonna walk away. I don't know if Kyle wants to come on camera, if you want to talk or sing or Ken, hold on.
SPEAKER_09:I was just looking at what happened to my thing.
SPEAKER_06:You turned your camera off. You hit your camera. How did I hit my camera off?
SPEAKER_09:How do I get back? Hold on.
SPEAKER_06:I'm trying to get back to You gotta find the button that looks black with a white draw.
SPEAKER_11:Oh, I'm back. I'm back, I'm back, baby.
SPEAKER_02:I'm back, baby. And ain't nobody gonna tell me. Ain't no get it. Jerkin' two guys off at once. Open in my mouth, open in my mouth, the Donald Trump, jerking two guys off at once, two guys off at once, two guys off at once.
SPEAKER_11:No, but seriously, I think the real important thing for you to decide. I think everybody needs to go out there and read a book called Neil Donald Walsh Conversations with God.
SPEAKER_04:That's gonna be a good thing.
SPEAKER_11:Have your own conversation and decide.
SPEAKER_06:That's such a great book. I love that book.
SPEAKER_11:It's fabulous. Did you see my dance? I was dancing all the time.
SPEAKER_02:Open in my mouth, choking two guys all at once. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_06:All right, somebody needs some pizza. So let's talk about this last thing. This poor girl, she, this girl, Sam, she's she's come into my life when I had so much other shit going on. I've had to put her on pause a couple times. I am bringing her on the podcast. Um, hopefully before the October 15th episode, we'll get her on, we'll get her interviewed. But um, so this case is coming to you from Washington County, Pennsylvania. Uh, I think it's out by California.
SPEAKER_11:Home of Joe Montana, baby.
SPEAKER_04:Hey!
SPEAKER_06:Well, yes, but this is a little sadder. So um Matthew McDonald went missing in 2023. It's a crazy case, dude. There is a small YouTube documentary called um uh something like Where is Matthew or something like that. I'll flash it up on the screen when I'm when I'm editing.
SPEAKER_11:Um And we want to encourage people. We do not know this story this well. We've only known what very little that we have read. We want to investigate it further. We're gonna do a little, you know, how we do, you know how we do with them investigations, son. Come on. No, but seriously, you know how we do with investigations. You know how Alana does it, you know how I do it. We're very thorough, very good, she's the best. Um but the we're gonna familiarize familiarize ourselves with this case a little bit better. But if anybody out there as we talk about this knows this case, has any information on the case, I don't care if it's rumors, innuendo, you heard it from Sally Jesse Raphael down at the grocery store reading the tabloids, whatever it is, reach out to us. Our information is out there on how to get in touch with us. Send us, shoot us a whatever, get us as on Facebook, our website, whatever. We want to hear your story, we want to hear what you have to say, we want your opinion, we want your questions. Also, if you are just even vaguely familiar with the story and you have questions because you know a little something, but you want to know a little more, get in touch with us because we're gonna be talking to these people. We can find out these answers for you. Um we're gonna really keep talking about this. We're gonna talk about this.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, we're gonna bring Yep, we're gonna bring Matthew's sister Sam on to the podcast. We're gonna ask her some questions. I would like to know more about him. So at when I first started researching the case, it seemed like, oh, just another kind of addict from Western Pennsylvania type story. No, this kid, like I'm seeing that this was like a good, hardworking kid that might have just got mixed up with the wrong fucking people. There's a lot of craziness surrounding his this case.
SPEAKER_11:There is drugs involved, but there's a lot of shadiness. Like, I get drug stuff, drug stuff happens all the time, but that doesn't mean something shady didn't happen. Just because drugs were involved doesn't mean somebody didn't get wronged. People always are quick to, oh, it's drugs. What's that mean? Well, it was drugs. Drugs didn't kidnap a kid, drugs didn't kill nobody. Well, maybe some, but still, you get what I'm saying. They didn't murder anybody. Like I get that drugs may be involved, but that doesn't mean that these other people weren't acting with malintent.
SPEAKER_06:Right. And that is the whole reason why one of the reasons why I wanted to do this podcast is because I had felt powerless at times when the police were supposed to be helping with something, right? And so this has been an active missing persons case since 2023. It's still an open investigation with the Washington County Police Office Department. And it just bugs me because I feel like from the players involved, and I'm gonna play a video clip here so you guys can hear this in Sam's own words of what she says is involved. Now, obviously, we're not saying these people's names because we don't we haven't done any investigation into the case yet. This girl she is going after the last known people to have known her brother, the last known people to have been with him, the people that had his phone, and she's calling them out by their full government. We're gonna look into it. We're going to do the research. Like I said, there's already a documentary on it. Um, but I will um clip Sam right here so you guys can hear exactly how she describes it.
SPEAKER_00:This video is for Kylie Humphreys, Trisha Payette, David Payet, and Sierra Arbogast. If you're none of them, you can keep scrolling. You're all responsible for my brother's disappearance on March 9th, 2023, in different ways. Kylie, you left him at a cemetery with nothing but the clothes on his back when he was not in the right state of mind. You went through his phone and pretended to be him and hooked up with a side chick, and you made videos in his phone. You also didn't call the police or let anyone know he was missing, and then you threw his clothes out. Sierra, you pretended to be him in his phone, hooked up with Kylie, and then stole the phone off of Kylie. You also uploaded on Facebook a video of you singing, I just unalived my ex. Why? Trisha, you kept the phone for a week and a half and wouldn't give it to us, wouldn't answer us, wouldn't do anything. But you knew where my brother was days prior to him going missing, and you were the last person he called. David, you are supposed to be my brother's best friend. Why were you hanging out with Kylie after he went missing? And Trisha and David, why do you refuse to speak to the police? Sierra, you just keep lying out your teeth. You went to jail and told everybody that you were a part of it. So what's the truth? I'll keep putting pressure where pressure needs applied, and I'll keep saying these names over and over until I get answers. Matthew McDonald, a son, a brother, a friend, and a father, was left with nothing but the clothes on his back in a cemetery on the side of the road on March 9th, 2023, in California, Pennsylvania.
SPEAKER_06:But we are going to spend the next couple weeks deep diving this case and asking the questions.
SPEAKER_11:And prior to that, I encourage each and every one of you to go out and do the research research for yourself. Then come back to us with questions. Come back to us with follow-ups. We want you to go out there and do a little bit of research too, because we're it's all hands on deck here right now.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_11:We're just trying to bring some resolution to this woman's pain and suffering.
SPEAKER_06:That's exactly. And the thing of it is, like, her family is not stopping. They've done a spaghetti dinner, they've done a bingo, they're keeping his name out there. They're doing visuals, they're not stopping until they figure out what happened to Matthew. And now I feel like I can't stop either. Like, I want to look into this. There's some dirty people involved, and they may not be criminals or may not be responsible, but there's definitely some shady motherfuckers.
SPEAKER_09:We're not making No, go ahead, finish.
SPEAKER_06:I know for a hundred percent fact that we have friends in Western Pennsylvania. I'm I would venture to guess that we know a few people that live right there, right around the phone.
SPEAKER_11:We might need to know a few people that roughly know some of these people that travel in some of these same. Not saying they know the people, but they might know of somebody that knows somebody. You know what I mean? But like the biggest thing that I want to emphasize here, too, is like you said, we have no opinion, we're not saying one way or the other what happened, but we're gonna look into it. We want you to look into it, and we're all gonna come back and meet up on this thing.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_11:Because it's definitely like you said, when you say shady things happening, there's a lot of things that don't make sense. There's a lot of things that from the surface don't add up. So we're gonna deep dive and dig into some of that and try to get maybe we're just off base. Maybe there's a reasonable explanation for certain things that we see along the way. Don't shake your head no, you don't know. We're there maybe certain. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_06:I'm only shaking my head no because this case came to my DMs at a time where I had 50 million other fucking things going on, and I did not want to take it because I had too much, and I looked at this girl's TikToks and I was like, we're taking this.
SPEAKER_11:Right.
SPEAKER_06:I want to cover this.
SPEAKER_11:Right. And that's but back to my point though, like we don't know the detail, and I'm not gonna say this thing is shady, this thing is shady, but I'm saying there's shady things involved, and we're gonna figure out which ones mean something and which ones don't.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, and emotionally we're separated, right? Because we don't personally know the family or this person. So in that case, we're going to be able to bring our logical discernment, we're going to be able to bring our experience. Like, it's not like we're w working murder cases every day, but we that's our shit. Like, we investigate, we study, we do all the things. So this is gonna be one of the first cases that's close to home that we can actually do some actual boots on the ground kind of footwork to help kind of bring some light to it at least.
SPEAKER_11:That's exactly right. We can go, you can be like, hey, what's this building like? And we'll drive out there and check it out for you. Hey, is this McDonald's still there? I don't know. Let me go get a McChicken and find out. Hey, it says here, he stopped off for a slice. I'll go stop off for a slice, see what happens. So we'll make it happen. We can relive. This is one of those cases we do a lot of stuff where we talk about things, but we can walk in the shoes.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_11:And we know these people. This is not like when we're in the outer banks trying to solve Stacey Stanton. Those people know we're outsiders. Here, they don't we fit right in. We fit right in. We can talk about it.
SPEAKER_06:What are you guys doing? What are you in guys doing today?
SPEAKER_11:What are you doing down? Who took that kid down there? He was somebody called his phone, took him up there. He's supposed to go pick up some drugs or something.
SPEAKER_12:He come down there. He comes down there.
SPEAKER_06:All right. So again, we're I'm gonna get Sam scheduled to come on the show. Um, so we'll be talking more again. It's Matthew McDonald out of Washington County, Pennsylvania, missing since 2023. We are going to cover it. It is still active, and he's still missing. Let's figure out where the hell he went.
SPEAKER_11:And I know I've made some jokes, but it is a very serious matter. We we joke about stupid stuff like involved with it, but we it's not that we because we're taking this not serious in any way, shape, or form. I mean no disrespect to anybody involved with that. It's just we joke around about things, and I would never joke around again, it's just like small town murder tells her people we're scumbags. Or wait, how's it go?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, we're assholes, but we're not scumbags.
SPEAKER_11:Not scumbags. Yeah, I'm not gonna talk bad about the murder or anything like that. I will, however, talk shit on the burger places that come up in the conversation, pizza shops, ice cream parlors, other various establishments.
SPEAKER_06:I love it. So, um, we will be back with you guys on October 15th, regularly scheduled, and we are back through the end of the year, first and 15th every month. Sorry about the break. We'll just build that billable hours to the um defamation and harassment suit that I have going on there. Um, but outside of that, Scott is doing comedy. He's doing so much comedy. Comedy on the weekend of oh, Scott's birthday is coming up October 9th. And then he's doing comedy that weekend, and then we will be talking about it again next week or the next episode. But um, we've got a super secret comedy event coming up at our house.
SPEAKER_11:Super secret.
SPEAKER_09:It's gonna be so oh, I don't even want to talk about it. We'll talk about it when it's happening and you'll get to see it. Uh, it's amazing.
SPEAKER_06:Um, and we cannot close out the show without talking about one of the best things of this year so far. Oh, what was it? Pittsburgh fucking stealers. We haven't talked about that in all.
SPEAKER_02:Pittsburgh fucking dance, tricking up two guys who wants, tricking up two guys who wants, yeah, stealers. No, I I mean, come on, baby. Who we talking to?
SPEAKER_10:Who we talking to? Aaron Rodgers, baby, MV fucking P. This defense is getting better every single week. We're coming for it. The division is down, the Ravens suck, the Bengals lost Joe Burrow. This is ours, baby.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, those were Scott's thoughts for this week. And until next time, baby. Trappy.
unknown:Peace.
SPEAKER_03:Be on the road, hit the gas, no map in sight. Cracking jokes and diners underneath, Mike and one hand truth in the back seat, grid with stories that you can't beat. Build it trash. We dine in the prime turn, down nights, in the prime time, laughter, dark, dark, gun, make it a flight. We spilling the under motel lights. Conrad comedy, sweet spikes, feeling like home, but twice as night. We laugh till we cry. Never decide to put every small town knows our name. So buckle up, y'all. It's a hell of a ride. Got an Atlanta got nothing to hide. From the gold to the garbage, we bring the stats. Welcome aboard, this is game.
