Cowboy Hat Cults & The Dead CEO Club: Welcome to Purgatory
What if your cowboy hat wasn’t just a fashion flex but a gateway to your final form? This week, The Funky Panther goes full identity crisis, morphing from smooth-talking Charlie Crockett to full-throttle Tiger King insanity. It’s less "saddle up" and more "unhinge completely." We also crack open the cursed tomb of The Guy Game (yes, that sleazy relic) and roast the depravity of the “Girls Gone Wild” era. Spoiler: Some ‘90s nostalgia should stay buried.
Then it’s off to Texas, where THC gummies are legal (kinda), booze ads are everywhere, and Kratom’s about to get whacked by Big Brother. We’re pulling back the curtain on the lawmakers and holy-rollers trying to legislate your vices like they’ve never sinned before. Spoiler alert: They have. If you’re wondering why weed is still a felony but you can buy tequila at Target, congrats, you’ve cracked the American paradox.
But wait—it gets darker. Somewhere out there, an insurance CEO is very dead under some very suspicious circumstances, and we’re side-eyeing capitalism harder than ever. Corporate America has a body count, and we’re connecting the dots. Greed, power, and “unexplained deaths” tend to walk hand-in-hand, don’t they? Throw in some dental nightmare fuel and a debate on whether to scalp your Texas A&M tickets, and you’ve got a perfect storm of chaos, crime, and capitalism’s rotting core.

Speaker 2:It's the band is what it is. Yeah, it's the tall hat in the band. Yeah, it is I'll never financially recover from this well, I was going for the arthur morgan, if you didn't know that.
Speaker 4:Do you know who Arthur Morgan is?
Speaker 1:No, I don't.
Speaker 2:Red Dead Redemption 2. Okay, that's a game. He's the main character, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You can't just say the names of games. Expect me to know what you're talking about I can.
Speaker 3:Call of Duty Mega man One of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:One of the Call of Duties. There was this video game back like 20 years ago on the PS2 called the Guy Game and it was like a Girls Gone Wild trivia game. What, yeah? And so if you got, it right.
Speaker 2:Is this a real game?
Speaker 3:It's a real game. As a matter of fact, I still have it. So there was a Gamefly. Remember Gamefly, where you used to get the games. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah we always would get that, and then I got the game and to Joe Paul.
Speaker 1:It was like the original Netflix for games. Right, it was that same thing.
Speaker 3:We sold it at Best Buy. But I got the game and I took it to my friend Joe Paul's house. It was me, Joe Paul, and Anthony and someone else.
Speaker 2:Eric.
Speaker 3:Primera Eric yeah, shouldn't have used his last name.
Speaker 2:No, you should.
Speaker 3:But we were playing, but we were like so giddy because it was titties. It's like she's flashing us.
Speaker 1:Was it actual titties on the game.
Speaker 3:It was actual Because it was trivia. It was just trivia and so if you got the answer right and I think they would have to get it wrong or something, and if they did or you got it right, they'd flash you.
Speaker 1:I'm assuming it's going to be something like Street Fighter, where it's just like the same movement Like they'd flash you.
Speaker 3:I'm assuming it's gonna be something like street fighter where it's just like the same movement, oh like, very like rickety movement. Over and over again too, though not not super nintendo, okay, or sick of genesis, I'm just about yeah, I'm gonna imagine it like all, like just bit it out you know 16, look it up. It's called the guy game we're just looking at.
Speaker 1:I see some nipple going on. We're looking at 16 bits of.
Speaker 2:Like the nipples are squares.
Speaker 3:But it's like girls gone wild, that's wild, that is wild.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, girls did get wild. They sure did. I remember Whatever happened to that. Girls don't really get wild anymore.
Speaker 2:There's a whole documentary about it out that's coming out now, really About it. Yeah, because there's this girl who said she doesn't remember, doesn't remember, doesn't remember, and that's kind of what I'm thinking. It's like a lot of I don't remember kind of thing. Right, she had a camera put in her face and she ended up flashing and didn't think anything of it, and so the trailer's showing her talking about this. She said, yeah, I was over at my friend's house while I was in college. One of those commercials came on and then our jaws just dropped because there I am.
Speaker 5:Yeah, on.
Speaker 2:TV and then our jaws just dropped because there I am on TV. And then she found out that she was like the cover of one of them. I mean she had to have signed some kind of disclaimer.
Speaker 4:No, it was verbal consent. Oh, I think they asked her.
Speaker 3:She said, they asked her twice right.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you consent.
Speaker 3:You consent? I mean again, it was a different time back then.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember coming home from work one night and I turned over here by Jamele, which was Froggy's at the time, and there was the Girls.
Speaker 1:Gone Wild bus park. There it was.
Speaker 2:Man.
Speaker 1:Rest in peace. Froggy's was wild. They had the best wet t-shirt concert, or concerts. Wet t-shirt nights, followed by 50 cent beer nights, followed by karaoke nights Damn, that place was like the shit I liked going there.
Speaker 2:I hated living by it. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Cause you can hear. You can hear everything. It's weird, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's weird how sound works. But yeah, girls Gone Wild showed up there, but there's a documentary and I'm actually I think we all should watch it. I'm going to watch it Because I mean it's right in our time period, a little bit older than us.
Speaker 1:Did you ever buy the videos?
Speaker 3:No, I had LimeWire, so I would download.
Speaker 2:So you downloaded a lot of viruses.
Speaker 1:I don't think that I've ever actually watched one, just loved the commercials. I was all for the commercials.
Speaker 3:It was just really them doing things yeah it wasn't like some of some of. It was a girl on girl, but that's. There was no actual like penetration. It wasn't porn, it was like softcore porn. Right, right, right, yeah, is that how?
Speaker 2:that's probably how they got like by with advertising on tv yeah, yeah, because I mean, it wasn't on cable.
Speaker 1:You know, cable you could buy with a lot more stuff I mean, could you not advertise like a porn, like if, if you had a porn video, I don't know, like this is fucking 20 years ago, if you had a porn vhs tape and you're wanting to sell it on on the tv, I don't, I don't think you could not do commercials for that I don't think so.
Speaker 2:Why not? Because it's like lewd and lascivious, or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah but the commercial isn't.
Speaker 2:Okay, but how would you do your porn commercial?
Speaker 1:Hello everyone, this is Chad Butler. I got naked with someone else and we did the thing. If you want to watch it, you can buy it.
Speaker 2:Sold. Give me 50 copies. Call this number now, that's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you could probably that's it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean you could probably. That's just a nice thing to do like that's just a nice commercial 1-800 wienerslave.
Speaker 4:How about?
Speaker 2:you kid. I don't think you could put that. I don't think you could put that on tv. I don't think you put wienerslave on tv either it's pronounced wienerslaw get by with that german.
Speaker 3:Come on, you get by with that. It was's German. Come on, you can get by with that. It was on 30 Rock, I think.
Speaker 2:I learned from watching Eurotrip that it's Scotty doesn't know.
Speaker 1:Well, that Scotty doesn't know.
Speaker 2:And that it's perfectly acceptable overseas, so you would probably be a big hit over there with your commercials Wundersex, wunderbienes.
Speaker 1:You just couldn't do that here W that here wounder strong. I mean, I don't know why I would ever think of that, but like I've never considered it being like not I mean yeah I guess you can't advertise like weed shops, you know, or even like why don't we people enter like we have beer commercials all day?
Speaker 3:but they don't drink all day, but they're, but they they don't consume the beer on camera yeah, do you ever notice? They don't consume it like they pop it open and they have smiles and cheers you never.
Speaker 2:You never see someone shotgun in a beer. Why not? Have commercials with thc gummies and just go well, the thing is, is it's not federally legal? I think that somebody never I I think that's the issue is that it's not. It's not federally legal.
Speaker 1:I mean it is, though that's why it's legal. Is because of the THC, the Delta nine or whatever the hell? No, that's, that's just the hemp derived. Texas farm bill makes that legal for us the federal farm bill.
Speaker 2:OK, well, yeah, the federal farm bill makes it, makes it legal.
Speaker 1:But across the board, except for one state. I think it's.
Speaker 2:Idaho. And pretty soon, probably Texas. No, lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, the one that actually has legs at work, yeah, so he's pushing by 2025 to make THC illegal in being sold in any store. That's including all the deltas, all the delt, all the deltas, all the very other variations.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they really what they need to do. They need to put that on a ballot, because I can pretty much guarantee that a lot of texans would vote to just pass that yeah, so the senate's going with it.
Speaker 2:Uh, in the house he assumes the house is going to follow suit with it.
Speaker 3:Dude. Fuck Dan Patrick. Fuck Ken Paxton. It's a bipartisan. Fuck that wheelchair, let's be honest.
Speaker 1:What is that going to do? It's going to make people go an hour to Oklahoma and Oklahoma is going to get all the money.
Speaker 3:No, that's going to be what would happen, because they're going to wait for you to come back.
Speaker 2:They're going to. I thought, oklahoma's medical only.
Speaker 1:No, that's what I'm saying. Hemp-derived THC is nationwide.
Speaker 2:Okay, I got you.
Speaker 1:So like why not go to a you know whatever smoke shop and get gummies like the legal ones right, like there's no reason you couldn't?
Speaker 3:So on the group chat, they can make lots of taxes on it. So here's the thing about that we're like in the bible belt, right, and so unless you vote these guys out, you're never gonna get legalized gambling and you're never gonna I don't know.
Speaker 2:I feel like we're gonna get gambling before we'll get gambling.
Speaker 3:No, these guys are gonna.
Speaker 2:I don't know they're fucking.
Speaker 3:They're so far up their ass with like believe whatever you want, I don't give a goddamn, you got free will and whatever oh, here we go do not put your politic or your religion into politics well, yeah, yeah, there is no reason I I I think we're gonna get uh, I think we're gonna get gambling here in texas.
Speaker 2:I do believe that I think we're gonna have casinos. Um, I think fort worth will have a casino right on panther island. Yeah, like I think we'll have a like I think we'll will have a casino right on Panther Island. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think we'll have a little Dude. That'd be a hell of a place for it.
Speaker 3:Well, they're building on Texoma a Hard Rock Casino Hotel.
Speaker 2:Oh really, yeah, that's very nice.
Speaker 3:I'm pumped.
Speaker 2:I like it. It'd be cool if they had that here. Yeah.
Speaker 3:David's saying, state troopers already patrolled the border for Oklahoma, new Mexico, for weed. And you see the signs when you're in New Mexico, like pulled over for weed and in jail, call this lawyer. All those billboards are plastered for every mile that you pass.
Speaker 2:So you know, most like field labs, like I mean number one if a, if a police officer pulls you over, they're going to look at it and they can't tell the difference between hemp derived versus marijuana derived right, it has to go to a lab and there's only only a handful of labs.
Speaker 1:Um, that process, that so I don't know if if there's any like, if it goes like one or two steps or whatever it needs to do, I'm just going to go to all the stores and buy a shit ton and put them in a safe and then just kind of hold on to it.
Speaker 2:I had a friend of mine that did that with Kratom stuff.
Speaker 3:Kratom to me I feel like that's hillbilly. How's that?
Speaker 2:working out.
Speaker 1:No, no.
Speaker 2:So he was using it for like treat his anxiety and stuff.
Speaker 4:So he was using it for like treat his anxiety and stuff. Yeah, and so I mean he was drinking a lot of it, so it's a drink you drink it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's powder form. I thought you smoke it. No, no, it's powder, and he would just pour it off into a container, shake it up and he'd drink it.
Speaker 1:He's drinking a lot of it, Well it was going to be illegal a lot. I was thinking, okay, I'll blow a few hundred bucks. No, no, no, no, no like for real.
Speaker 2:I'm talking like a whole, like he's got a whole storeroom. That's crazy of it.
Speaker 1:So sunday, uh, sunday, we didn't have anything, uh, going on, that I remember.
Speaker 1:But there was this I really wanted, like we ran out of our seltzers, our seltzers that we've been drinking, or whatever we ran out, or the the texas th thc the well, I mean, there's a bunch of them now, but we had, we've been trying different kinds and they also have the spirits where you just like take a shot and you're good to go. But we ran out of it. It was sunday, so like the only place that I know that has the spirits is like Total Wine or Specs, and so I'm like, well, shit, what are we going to do? I knew that. You know, obviously Martin House has got the powerhouse and then also Thrive is open on Sundays and they've got all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1:But there's this shop next to Lockwood that that Jay put me on a while back wood, uh, that that jay put me on a while back, that's like her spot and we went in because I hadn't been in there in a while and, um, they've got gummies, vapes. They had like 20 different kinds of cans, like there are so many different seltzers now, and then they also had a few different spirits. Like damn, this is the place. They've got everything. That's a okay.
Speaker 2:So looking at that whole the ban on it, right, if they chose to ban this, uh, this in Texas, that's a huge industry. They're just taking a big chunk of money out of it.
Speaker 1:I feel like the smoke shops have really got a good groove over the past couple of years because of this specifically, I think some of them.
Speaker 2:But let me just tell you on the way down to Corsicana, because we went down there for Thanksgiving, yeah, if you've ever been to Corsicana, before you get to rice on 45 there is and rice. There is a establishment called uh, dw's and dw's or w's as I like to call it. Okay, um, they are a um, they're a porn shop, right, but they have. We sell delta, whatever and all. So they're selling it there, at the, at the, at the, at the pornography shop we sell kratom and meth I.
Speaker 2:I truly believe they probably sell both of those as well, but my. My question is they probably wouldn't sell it to you in that hat, though they're gonna think he's an arc.
Speaker 1:Do you have anything in the back for me?
Speaker 2:good sir yeah, I've got stuff in the back for you. Come on, uh, would you be okay with them not being able to sell like I? I feel like that's kind of the issue. I feel like there's that gray area of like you go to the convenience store and it's like, yeah, we got these delta nine pins that I cooked up in the back I don't know.
Speaker 1:I I think that, like anything else, I think that if our government was smarter, they would like regulate it to a like we do with alcohol. You know what I mean. Like what we're taxing it and we're regulating it like alcohol. Right now I will say it is like no holds barred you can get 20 different gummies and they're gonna hit you 20 different ways, right um? What you got to do is stick to like brands that are are respectable, like like power biofarm yeah but biofarm is the ones we had on uh here cold power yeah, like things that you can trust and you know is going to be consistent.
Speaker 1:Then, yeah, do that.
Speaker 2:But yeah gas stations and you know, because, I mean if they're selling, if they're selling the tobacco pipes right next to the vape pen.
Speaker 1:However, if those stores were selling Power Bio Farms, I'm all for it. You know what I mean. Like, if it is something that is oh, I know that name, you know, but you don't.
Speaker 2:But, you don't know the name they're selling like hard rhino powder and like Black Panther. Right Rock hard Sex, panther stuff, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they got that one. That's like heroin that people were actually buying because it made them feel like they were on heroin. This episode, sponsored by sex Panther, this episode brought to you by her. No, it was actually on the news and this lady was like it ruined my life, Like I was an addict and I got clean.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, and they told me to try this stuff, and it was exactly like it and she was talking about how she stole to like get her fixed from the gas station. And they finally had to investigate and they're like this is like fucking K2.
Speaker 2:It's like almost it's worse for you, it's not going to kill you, but it's like addictive, but it's going to ruin your life, yeah, so okay If they do away with this.
Speaker 1:it's just going to create a bigger problem. I mean, yeah, but what if?
Speaker 2:they do away with this in the sense of, like these unregulated businesses can't sell it.
Speaker 1:I'd be okay. I think that'd be good. I think, yeah, I still have Thrive, thrive. I have the place next to lockwood I don't know the name of it. We still have. Uh, roy pope sells a bunch of good stuff. I still think that we should be able to.
Speaker 2:We I mean, you know it's kind of like the argument the gun industry and all that stuff, but I feel like I should be able to buy a gun in a gas station. Okay, calmate, what are you doing? What are you doing? I'm just saying I believe in regulations.
Speaker 3:I believe, yeah, like if you if you tax it right and you have parameters where, obviously, if you make it legal, kids aren't. Even now, the studies show that teenagers do not smoke marijuana. As a matter of fact, it's lesser now than it was like 10 years ago.
Speaker 2:No, they're hitting them. Vape pins, they're hitting them. Yeah, have you seen the commercials for the anti-vape pins? Oh, yeah, oh, is it the for the anti-vape pens?
Speaker 5:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it the ones where? So I worked a lot of high school football games over this past couple months, right, and I worked Crowley's football games and they've got this nice, beautiful stadium. I mean it literally looks like a professional stadium and it's nice enough that Texas Wesleyan football plays at their stadium oh, really yeah they have this you know giant screen and during like halftime or whatever after the halftime show, they'll play this commercial.
Speaker 2:It's this vape commercial. These girls are in the bathroom and the girl drops her vape in the toilet and she reaches in and gets it and then she's walking out, she takes a hit off of it and it's that whole like it's so addictive that you're willing to put something out of the toilet in your mouth and I'm like man, this is it. Gave me the whole. Like.
Speaker 1:This is your brain right, this is your brain on drugs right, it was that whole vibe that's a horrible commercial that is so dumb I liked it whenever rachel lee Cook was doing those commercials.
Speaker 3:I'm a big fan of Rachel E Cook and Rachel Cook, the other star.
Speaker 2:So what's up who?
Speaker 3:I don't know who either one of these people are. Rachel E Cook from. She's All that.
Speaker 2:I don't remember. She's All that.

Speaker 1:They need to put that Known for Killshot, the Hack Job and Succubus. What?
Speaker 3:Hey, yeah, she was a nerd. How do they not know? She's all that.

So I I don't know if I've really done it recently, but like my mom has been talking about this, like hoagie wheat roll from walmart, okay, and so I'm like fuck it, like I'll get some. And so I got it and I toasted it up and then I just like layered every little thing on it. You know my stuffing, my um, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, broccoli cheese and rice. So double the cheese up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:And then, um some, it was like brussels sprouts and and cranberries, so like a little bit of greens and a little bit of tart, and then the turkey and a little bit of gravy. It was a big boy, I mean, that thing. It was kind of, you know, coming out the side, but it was delicious.
Speaker 2:So I always take the cranberry sauce. I want the cranberry sauce out of the can, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've gone to places where they've tried to fancy that shit up and make it like oh, I've got cranberries and made it all you know, whatever. Yeah, no, give me this shit. That's jello out of the can, right? I want? Everyone really wants to be in the shape of the can, right, I'm gonna cut right on those ridges.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's got pre-made cut marks based off the can. We talked about this on thanksgiving at my mom's house, actually, and she said the same thing. It's like I've had some like good cranberry sauce and it's never as good as this can shit. And I was like you would be kind of cool. Is this someone at a really fancy restaurant, like I don't know, say like clay pigeon? He came out like this thanksgiving turkey meal or whatever, and he made his own cranberry sauce and put it in a can like like that's how he presented it.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no. I think how he would make. I think that'd be pretty, I wouldn't even do that?
Speaker 2:I would. I would make the badass thanksgiving, you know, if I was at Clay, pigeon or wherever, and then I would come out with a can of Ocean. Spray cranberry sauce and I'm like this is what y'all want.
Speaker 1:I'm sure a professional chef like that could actually do an enhanced version of that, but still make it look like a can.
Speaker 2:It's got to look like it and it's got to be perfectly smooth and no chunks.
Speaker 3:With some ridges of the can yes can we talk about the bread you use for your sandwich, though?
Speaker 1:he said brioche, right, he's. No, he said a hoagie, it was a wheat hoagie bun, yeah okay, I think the mexican bolio bread would be a perfect fit because that would be, because that's what they use on tortas right?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah you can either cut it the way it is or you can like hollow it out a little bit. Take a little bit of the bread out see, that's what.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what you need to do, because otherwise it's just a fucking mess.
Speaker 3:You got to have some kind of like, like it's you need holding it in because you're otherwise, you're just placing shit on top and then a bread like a solid bread and you're gonna have to open your mouth so your bread actually needs to be thick, right?
Speaker 2:that way you can hollow it out. So you have, you still get a good bread to sandwich ingredients ratio, right? I say maybe half it's science.
Speaker 3:You take half of that. You're more than even welcome to keep that side bread that you have and take little bites of it while you're well, I think, I think you have to.
Speaker 1:yeah, you could toast it up, make some croutons do something with it. Croutons.
Speaker 2:I was always a fan of just spreading the cranberry sauce on the bread itself as the condiment Right, and then a layer of mashed potatoes, juice it up early on. That's smart. I use the mac and cheese as the cheese and that goes on top of everything. Okay, you got to get that good layer ratio going.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:I don't do a moist maker, though. I mean I feel like most of my Thanksgiving is a moist maker, Like the mac and cheese.
Speaker 2:I agree.
Speaker 1:The broccoli cheese and rice is perfect.
Speaker 3:Dude, but dark meat is just so tender. You put dark meat in that.
Speaker 2:Fried turkey, fried turkey. Should I do fried turkey. You put dark meat in that. Fried turkey, fried turkey.
Speaker 1:Should I do fried turkey? No, I smoked a bunch of turkey breasts.
Speaker 2:So we did fried turkey. We did fried turkey and I want to tell you All right, so we went down to Hold on From the chat.

Speaker 1:Danny and Courtney and the fam were all there, I saw that. Which is wild to me. They got season tickets and they could have sold their tickets and paid for the entire season ticket with that. One game Should have.
Speaker 3:That's what I would have done.
Speaker 1:That's the first time they played since 2012. I know so. 2012. I know so. They went, of course, because it's a big deal.
Speaker 3:And that last one was Johnny. Worst game to go to. Was that Johnny football playing that last one?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it was 2012?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, before they switched over.
Speaker 1:You got to go to that.
Speaker 3:Before they went to the SEC.
Speaker 1:Right, but yeah, so they went. They were there. I would have sold. That way you paid it all off.
Speaker 3:You still enjoyed yourself on all the other games and you can watch that one from TV, you can go next year it's Thanksgiving week Come on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but we're also not A&M alum and don't understand the rivalry, so I guess whatever Sure.
Speaker 3:That video made the rounds is like gig him, gig him.
Speaker 2:Oh the guy the spirit guy.
Speaker 4:Fight Aggie Aggie.
Speaker 2:Aggie fight, and then it was all like that's a little brother energy and I'm like little brother energy complex.
Speaker 3:I just want to hit him with a baseball bat, have you?
Speaker 2:not seen that, no, so like their pep rally before you know the game or whatever.
Speaker 3:They've got their spirit people or whatever their yell leaders okay, their yell leaders whatever they are, I can tell you how they yell in bed.
Speaker 2:It was terrible and I'm saying that is why they lost Gag them. That is why they lost the gods. The Aggie gods saw that they were not happy. They were not pleased and they said you do not deserve this win texas forever that's what happened.
Speaker 3:All right, I digress I guy dress all right, so what else do you do dress?
Speaker 1:guys. I found my apple music thing uh. Number one uh was teddy swims at 1300 minutes, kanye at 1100 minutes, kendrick at 750 minutes, tie dollar sign and then drake were my top five. I did like I will say the breakdown of monthly. It kind of gives you like what vibes you were in at what time of the year. Like mine was kanye a couple months, teddy swims a couple months, childish gambino a couple months, king of leon monoskin in september, because we were in italy and so all I was listening to is monoskin. I like it, it. I like the breakdown. I'm not going to post it. I don't think anyone gives a shit, but it was kind of cool to look at. I think we should post it to be honest with you, like on the Funky Panther.
Speaker 2:Yeah, show our individuals Right.
Speaker 4:Say who do you?
Speaker 1:think is who.
Speaker 4:That'd be kind of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I would enjoy that. I'm not know. People don't want to see that shit.
Speaker 1:No, they don't want to see that um, so the past couple weeks, uh, I mean really it was just thanksgiving, right. So, um, because I already yeah, it feels like forever yeah, did I talk about when I went to waco? I did right or no with danny, did you?

Speaker 2:I'll leave it like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then for Thanksgiving went to Sarah's family on Thanksgiving Day went, oh, the night before, dude, I don't remember the last time I went out. Maybe it was last year. Honestly, I don't remember, but like the night, before Thanksgiving, get drunk and we go to the library, we go to seventh street no, but we would do that on black friday too.

The drinks were good, um, and then we went to down and out fantastic, it was wednesday night, so they had karaoke, so it was a good time. And down and out has thc seltzers now too, which is nickel city has really shitty shots.
Speaker 2:I don't excuse me, no, no, like, like, like they're purposely making shitty shots Really. Oh yeah, and they're horrendous. Tell me more Next time you go order a menthol cigarette. What it's, malort? It's like creme de menthe or whatever, or something like that, or like one of those mint, whatever shops and and um mescal so you get the smoky. You get the smoky from mescal, like if you're smoking a cigarette. The kind of bitterness from you get the bitterness from the malort yeah like after you smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 2:It sounds awful. And then the menthol you meant that just lingers and it is the worst shot I've ever had.
Speaker 1:Shit, yeah, no, well, yeah, I mean, I'll do it. Yeah, yeah, you got to do it, but it sounds awful. And then went to the Deer Lease over the weekend, which was nice. Yeah, did you just sit there? Did you get anything? No, I saw a buck open because it was thanksgiving weekend and they just do whatever the fuck they want, so they're just closed. But other than that it was a lot of fun. But yeah, that's all I got cool.
Speaker 2:Um, you know, let me just uh do this little, okay. So, um javier said we had a lot to talk about, we had to do a show tonight.
Speaker 3:There's a lot of things happening in the world here currently.
Speaker 2:I actually made. I didn't have a lot going on at work today.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's a good thing, and whenever I'm at work I don't have a lot going on, so I actually created a chat GPT. If you didn't know this, if you pay for chat GPT, you can go there and create GPTs.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:So I created the GPT to help me put together like current events great penis touchers whatever, yes, whatever topic I'm looking for, and it pulls all the stuff and kind of outlines it for me and all that. So here's what we got.
Speaker 3:Is this going to be about uh?
Speaker 2:uh, so the first one's about miss hayley welch. Okay, so if you didn't know, hawk to a hawk to the hawk to a girl. So just to recap, everyone, everyone, uh, she became famous for a viral street interview where she said you got to give them that hawk to and spit on that thing.
Speaker 3:Instant internet sensation yeah, she's done a lot of cool stuff remixes, giving money back, tiktok, parodies galore start our own podcast, you can even, uh, buy like clips and add it to your music if you want monetized her fame with merchandise that reportedly earned over 65 000 just like overnight.
Speaker 2:Basically, yeah, all right. So that wasn't enough, though, okay tell me more. So she launched um, she launched a meme coin. So if you don't know what meme coins are those that are listening like Doge Shiba Inu there's a bunch of them out there.
Speaker 1:Why haven't we started a TFP coin, by the way?
Speaker 2:I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 1:I don't either, but we should figure out how to do it, yeah, and just call it the Panther coin, and the code will be tfp oh, dude, I bet you we can get fort worth merchants to take it right bars.
Speaker 3:That actually kind of cool, because we can all right sidebar.
Speaker 2:We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna work on that um anybody knows how to make meme coins? Uh, let us know. Um, and it's not gonna take them from us. The launch of, so she made a, she made a meme coin. The launch of dollar sign hawk.
Speaker 2:So it's hawk right, uh, she partnered with web3 platform uh, web, web3 platform over here to launch hawk, marketed as a community driven meme coin. It promised to unite her fan base, tiktok podcast listeners, uh, merch buyers and so forth. So the token launched and briefly skyrocketed to a market cap of $500 million within hours. Holy shit, 500 million, 500 million. That is wild, like just and I'm talking like it launched and it shot up over 500 million this, these meme coin.
Speaker 1:That shit's crazy.
Speaker 2:Okay. So after hitting its peak Hawks value crashed by over 90% in minutes. So it hit, peaked and and then just dumped. Went all the way down to basically nothing, all right.
Speaker 3:It's a Doge, original Doge, not original Doge prices, but pretty damn close.
Speaker 2:Crypto analysts discovered 96% of the supply was concentrated in top wallets. So there was only a few handful of top wallets that had 96%. The of the, of the, the coins yeah sparking accusations of insider trading impossible.
Speaker 2:A rug pull, okay. So if you don't know what a rug pull is, it's where the investors all do all the stuff. They get the thing up and then get their money in and bail right. There was an individual. If you didn't know, there's a uh, what was that? Uh, uh, mon, what's that? What's that? Uh, hippo, the little miniature. Hippo, mondang, mondang mudang. There's a mudang coin and there was an individual that moved like a hundred million dollars of mudang or something like that over into hawk to. It probably was 100 million, I don't have it on here. Um, it was a substantial amount of money and he and he lost it all. Holy shit, all right. So investors accused welch and her team of orchestrating the scam. Her fan base and the crypto community turned against her. So there are all these memes out now and all these things saying that she's about to have to talk to a judge. So the moral of the story is fame and financial ventures, especially in crypto, are a dangerous mix.
Speaker 1:So are they for sure that she's the reason that the rug was pulled? I don't think it's just her.
Speaker 2:I think it's everybody in her team, Because they're saying that through blockchain you can track and see Right and they're showing You're showing who's getting.
Speaker 3:They say that a foundation made money off the fees yeah like I think they said a million dollars were the fees that were, so the way it was working like if you wanted to buy a coin.
Speaker 2:So you bought one hawk tour for like 250 dollars. The fee on it was like 45 dollars, so you weren't getting a full coin, right, right. And all these people were buying these coins. So they made a shit ton of money on that, driving that up, and then they just pulled out and dumped it.
Speaker 1:That's wild. I mean that's just been happening a lot. I mean, I still think that crypto has got a huge future and we're only seeing the beginning of it. But these meme coins have gotten ridiculous because anyone can just create them. I saw this, this video, this kid he was like 13 years old. He created this meme coin and he was on youtube. He like launched it. He got all these people backing it and it like jumped up. It went from like nothing to thirty thousand dollars. He's like all excited. He he's like oh, thank you. Oh, people are great. And then, like, as soon as money hits certain people, that like greed switches that little light.
Speaker 2:Oh fuck Like. This is real and I can make money like this.
Speaker 1:And so this 13 year old kid sold and made $30,000 and like rug pulled everybody. And so, like all these people that he was, he had built this kind of community to get them behind him and everything like that. And he rug pulled, made $30,000, which is great for a 13 year old. But then the community were like fuck this kid. And so they like bumped it up to where his amount of money would have actually been in the millions, like they were doing it out of spite at this point.
Speaker 1:So like and the millions, like they were doing it out of spite at this point. So it's crazy to me that there's nothing actually backed. You know there's nothing backing it. There's no business or anything. It's just like how many people can buy it all and then whoever sells it first Like it's the biggest fucking gamble on these mean good, and it's the same with all crypto. But like is more like prevalent with the meme coins because there's less of them.
Speaker 2:So, with this whole thing, though because of what it is, I mean, you're talking federal charges- yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:And maybe she's not directly involved involved, but I don't understand how it could be insider trading though, because it's like.
Speaker 2:Well, whenever you get a group of people together and you determine like you decide, this is what we're going to do, right, and it's a scam. People.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a scam.
Speaker 2:Right, so it's an insider trading to scam people out of money.
Speaker 1:Because insider trading is more like hey Tim, in five days I'm going to sell this company.
Speaker 2:So sell your shit now.
Speaker 1:That's basically what they did. They said it was within minutes, Like how can you do insider trading?
Speaker 2:all within minutes. They had planned it all. They had planned to launch. They were like, okay, at launch, we're going to do this.
Speaker 3:We're going to do this we're going to pump the numbers, we're going to pump it up there and then, once we get the certain amount, we're going to just dump it. So the market cap whenever it came out was 500 million currently it's at 618 000. Holy shit. There are people that posted on twitter like I invested 35 000 in this and now I only have two thousand dollars worth of your, your shit, like I can't my. I invested this money and I pulled my money and I use it to try to invest in.
Speaker 2:Well, it's like all those uh sports there was. There's like several sports people. I think shack was uh partially involved in a uh in a coin that that came out, and it ended up being something similar to this well, all of those, um, all the famous people, uh, was it ft or whatever it was?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, yeah that's.
Speaker 3:That was a big fucking scam yeah, and they were wanting to Stephen Curry, like they were trying to sue these athletes because they're like you promoted this product right you're.
Speaker 1:We lost our money because of you yeah, but like they're also paid, you know, I mean I do, I do see how shitty that could be, but it's different than like if I was to create one and then intentionally do it to dump them. You know what I mean. These athletes and famous people weren't doing it so that they could just make a quick buck and dump it. You know what I mean. They did it because they get paid to do that kind of shit all the fucking time. That's just what they do, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know the Hawk Tua girl. Her voice bothers me, and I'm sure my voice bothers other people too, you know whatever.
Speaker 3:Dude, I hate my voice.
Speaker 2:But her accent and just listening it's like nails on a chalkboard.
Speaker 1:I like it. I'm here for it. I'm glad you like it.
Speaker 2:Did you listen to any of their stuff or watch?
Speaker 1:any of the clips.
Speaker 2:So I watched a little bit of it with JoJo Siwa.
Speaker 3:Oh God, I hate JoJo Siwa. She's a nightmare, jo, drunk and well I mean as a 21 does.
Speaker 1:21 year old does no but this is like you're acting out, like yeah, she's got an image and then she's acting like she went the other direction she's.
Speaker 2:It's very strange yeah but she has. She drives me the shoes on there and you know they're talking about all sorts of weird stuff. But I don't know, I can't get.
Speaker 1:It's definitely not my demographic, it's not meant for me so okay, let's, let's stay on crypto for just a second so do y'all still have any money in crypto?
Speaker 2:I pulled most of mine out of um like doge and all that yeah yeah, I don't have anything in doge.
Speaker 3:I think I've got some stuff in like maybe ethereum, okay um, if I had waited a day, um, I would have kept my doge because it went up I sold it and it jumped up like you still made money, though I did. I made like 1400 bucks, right, which you know. Originally like where I was, I was at like 17 000 and then I didn't sell and elon made it crash. But, um, I still I'm. I have, uh, some stock in crypto with bonk, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Bonk coin.
Speaker 4:I got about 23 million shares. Bonk.
Speaker 3:Like Bonk, like horny. Yeah, I got you. It's paid out pretty good. I've made like 100 bucks in it, and so the next thing, of course, thank you for bringing it up, because I invested in Manchester United, hey is that why you're? Wearing the shirt.
Speaker 1:That's why I'm wearing the shirt. So as an investor, investor in martin.
Speaker 3:I do have voting rights, by the way, do you? I do have voting rights with your one stock.
Speaker 1:My well, I have, I have a, I have one share.
Speaker 3:I invested a hundred bucks, so that's probably like five shares. So I was reading around like what are the benefits? And they're like well, you get a postcard for manchester united and then, like, you'll get an email regarding like voting, like on stuff that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4:I think it's pretty, but also.
Speaker 3:I only did it because it's my team. I'm sure you can do that with city if you wanted to yeah. Lance could do it with Liverpool.
Speaker 1:I didn't know city, they all have like publicly traded I think they some.
Speaker 3:I know they had to do it because there were a billion dollars in debt, like 10 years ago With new investors, because INEOS, the INEOS founder, invested, which they make the Grenadier. They make the Grenadier which I saw one.
Speaker 1:I've seen one as well, I love it Fucking. Beautiful, beautiful car, beautiful truck, I see them in downtown Dallas all the time.
Speaker 3:Ineos is fucking chef's kiss. But yeah, no, I bought it because I love the team and, no matter how bad they suck, I have high hopes, new coach doing great things. We lost yesterday, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1:So as a minority owner's your what's your actually a minority owner. That's minority, so what's?
Speaker 2:your first what's gonna be your first, first move? What are you gonna?
Speaker 3:do? Uh well, we already did it, we already fired the coach. Uh ten hag's gonna we he's already saying we, uh, we got rid of ten hag and uh, we brought in amarin from sporting and sporting's been doing really good. They beat, beat Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. But yeah, we're trying to soldier our way on. We play Arsenal again here in the new year for the FA Cup semi or quarterfinals.
Speaker 2:He gets to say it because, he's an owner.
Speaker 1:I mean, I know, and not only that, but am I mistaken by saying that you put this on your Instagram profile? Yes, is that true? That's true.
Speaker 3:And I Googled it.
Speaker 1:I googled it. Since I do own shares, I am able to put it on business cards that I am oh my god, I'm a minority. You're taking this as far as you can.
Speaker 3:Holy fuck. Yes, okay, look, you know they. They sell stocks in the green bay packers, but they only release it like once in a blue moon. Yeah, well, you have to be on a list for it too. You do have to be on a list, but you can do the same and the Green Bay Packers, but they only release it like once in a blue moon.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, you have to be on a list for it too. You do have to be on a list.
Speaker 3:but you can do the same thing Like you can put minority owner of the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Technically I am like a smidge smidge minority.
Speaker 2:That's awesome though. That's cool man. Yeah, I'm going to go in there and I'm going to buy like $300 worth of Manchester United now so I can be above him.
Speaker 3:Please don't, because then I'm going to have to put more, all the money that I made on Doge.
Speaker 2:We just keep going back and forth. Yeah, I was about to put it. I don't even care anything about soccer.
Speaker 3:I was about to put it in more GameStop.
Speaker 2:GameStop.
Speaker 3:Because, dude, it went up like $180 for me today.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, it's because he posted did he roaring kitty posted today. Yeah, yeah, it was just like a youtube. It was like a time magazine with a like a computer screen. That was like a youtube and it had like a bar and it said 109 out of 420, like it was a minute nine into 420 on a video. And so now people have all the speculation of like what's going to happen on january 9th at 4 20 pm or, you know, april 20th.
Speaker 1:Like you know, he puts up these cryptic things and all that matters is he posted something and you can see that direct correlation with the stock going up.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, drastically.
Speaker 1:Like they put a stop on buying and selling GameStop immediately.
Speaker 3:Did they?
Speaker 1:really. Yeah, they did as soon as it jumped up it like froze, and then they had to like kick it back up. Yeah, that is crazy. Yeah, I think it's kind of weird right now where we are with stocks and crypto. I'm not hating it, because over the past month I'm up 750 bucks and I haven't done anything really like I did. I did do the whole like autopilot, where I'm following nancy pelosi's stock tracker, so, like anything, she does five hundred dollars of my robin hood does the same thing. But I've also done stuff like throw stuff in the s&p 500 and then put stuff in nvidia and then the qqq, like the whatever it is, uh, etf and so. But all of these things are just skyrocketing like there is nothing that is failing right now and it scares the bejesus out of me because you, you don't get it right going up, it's gonna, it's gonna hit that peak and it's gonna come down things don't continue to go up, so it really worries me, like what are we in for in 2025?
Speaker 2:you know, I I kind of I think I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna do the whole autopilot thing.
Speaker 1:I think I'm gonna do that it's cool, I wouldn't pay for it. Um, there's like a free version where you just like you have to put a minimum, so you, you've got to put at least $500, and it buys everything under their stock. Right, if you pay for it, then it'll buy and sell for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to.
Speaker 1:But it's so seldom that they're buying and selling. You know what I mean. Like, a lot of these politicians are sticking with a pretty standard format, and so I don't know if I'd pay for it.
Speaker 2:I want it for the security because I'm not going to watch it that close. So whenever someone sells, I think I would do it.
Speaker 1:Mine sold one of Nancy Pelosi's stock today and it was like I made $3 off of it, which is not a big deal, it's nice. It's that whole portfolio that they put. You'll pay capital gains taxes on that or what I mean. I just reinvested all so I don't have to pay anything.
Speaker 3:So that's what I need to do because I have about like 4,500 and I need to put it somewhere before the end of the year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Because I don't want to have to put that on my taxes, right, and so maybe I need to. Just because I have autopilot, I just need to do.
Speaker 1:Dude, or I'm telling you like Nancy Pelosi thing is really good. There's also this inverse Kramer, which is like the guy that talks about stocks and stuff like that on TV?
Speaker 3:Oh no, that guy is a. I watch enough John Oliver to not listen to that guy.
Speaker 1:What's funny is Autopilot took what he says to do and did the opposite Really, and it was like outpacing Pelosi on how well it was doing doing the opposite of what he says, which is fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1:Elon posted about that, by the way, which was funny, but then, but also, so those are doing well. But if you just put money in the S&P, like you're just it's constantly I don't know whatever, put money in the s&p like you're just it's constantly, I don't know whatever, if I were you I would put in something kind of safe-ish before the end of the year and then you could pull it out that's what I'm kind of thinking like.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to think I was looking through stocks today, top 100, to see like what should I throw it in? That's safe, that won't go up or down. Apple's down, apple's down like eight percent I'll send you a couple yeah, yeah, yeah, because, yeah, yeah, because I need to. Just NVIDIA is one. It needs to go somewhere. S&p 500 would be another NVIDIA, nvidia.
Speaker 1:Or QQQ, is like the S&P 500 of technology companies, which is like Everything that's doing well right now is technology companies.
Speaker 3:I can always invest in DJT.
Speaker 2:I mean, if you want to invest, I'm taking investments.
Speaker 3:I'm taking investments. You can't be a minority owner of myself, of me. You are now a minority owner of Tim.
Speaker 2:Which part would you like you can put it on your business card.
Speaker 4:The big toe.
Speaker 2:That's fine, all right. What else we got, tim, all right. So I wanted to bring up, because it's everywhere on the news right now the CEO of UnitedHealthcare getting assassinated. What are your?
Speaker 3:thoughts on that.
Speaker 2:Let me give a rundown, december 4th at approximately 645 outside the Hilton and Midtown Hotel on West 54th Street, manhattan, new York City. Thompson is the CEO. He was en route to an investors conference at the hotel when a masked gunman shot him multiple times from behind. Then the assailant fled the scene, originally on foot, then he gets on a bicycle and rides off into the sunset into Central Park. All right, so Thompson is the CEO of United Healthcare and he was going to this investor meeting that started at 8 o'clock.
Speaker 2:He was shot basically at 7 in front of them, right, the investor meeting that started at eight o'clock. He was shot basically at seven in front of you know, in front of the right. The investor meeting still happened, by the way, of course it did. Yeah, all right. So the guy was wearing light-skinned male, wearing cream color jacket, black face mask, had this weird looking gun, had obviously, if you want, if you look at it, you know guns. It's it's very long, so it's got a silencer suppressor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I heard it was a .22 that they used A 9mm, I think is what they're saying Okay.
Speaker 4:Yeah is what they've come out with.
Speaker 2:So they've labeled it as a brazen targeted attack, indicating it was premeditated. Thompson's wife disclosed. They've had several threats. It's a CEO of an insurance company. Of course they had threats.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 2:So investigators found and here's where it gets crazy, so they've recovered a mobile phone that was in the alleyway, Bullet casings at the scene and on the casings they had words written on them Deny, defend, depose. Terms associated with insurance industry practices. Holy shit, yeah. So the question is so, one thing, the social media has blown up on this and if you read any of the comments in the videos that people are posting about this, yeah, dude, the comments are rugged.
Speaker 3:On the group chat. The guy they have photos of don't match the shooter, but he's hot. Jake Gyllenhaal? Yeah, he looks like Jake.
Speaker 2:Gyllenhaal yeah, no, so they got these. Like the comments in there is like oh man, looks like his healthcare was out of network or whatever, and just shit like that playing into the whole. Like you know, my thoughts and prayers are out of network. Oh shit, yeah, people are just like basically the whole eat the rich mentality right now.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So what I find crazy, though, is Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem. Blue Cross Blue Shield had announced earlier, before all this happened, that they were going to not cover additional anesthesia during surgery. So if it basically went over a certain amount, then the anesthesiology and all that stuff, the medicine wasn't going to be covered.
Speaker 3:After the CEO got axed, uh, they quickly changed that and they're like no, no, we will. Yeah, we're definitely gonna be covering that. They posted a picture of the current ceo for the other insurance company, right, or do they? Is it the person who's taking over, uh? Interim ceo so I haven't seen that um somebody posted like uh, that like you're saying, they're cutting the anesthesia, like uh but he's saying that was blue cross, blue cross.
Speaker 3:Okay, so then yeah somebody posted a picture of like oh hey, by the way, this is the ceo yeah, yeah under that post, oh yeah I'm sorry, dude, but look, I think I've said this a million times that it only takes the one wrong situation and one guy that has nothing to lose. Yeah, so there's a guy.
Speaker 2:So there's a guy on TikTok that I believe he's a doctor and he makes literal like. He makes videos about the insurance industry, yeah, and they're satirical to the sense of like, oh, it's kind of funny what he's talking about, but then it's also but they're all true, and so it's him as a doctor talking to the insurance. You know people who are not doctors and they brought the whole anesthesia thing. And whenever he's asking, he's like the the insurance company is like, yeah, so, um, we're gonna, we're gonna cut your you know, anesthesia funding for you know certain yeah, times or whatever. And he's like well, who's going to determine the times? Oh, we are. So you know an hour for a quadruple bypass or you know whatever.
Speaker 2:So all these memes are coming out now. Then the CEO gets killed, and now they're backing up on it and they're like okay, I think we need to change that right. So now they're saying no, no, no, we were just kidding. There's all this speculation on motive, though, for this there's this debate on executive security. The guy had no security with him. He's the head of the CEO of a large insurance company. You'd think that he'd have executive security.
Speaker 2:Yeah maybe he's kind of a prominent figure, right? All right, so there's a couple of of ideas, though there's the revenge of uh, denied theory. Right, so it's an individual that was angry policy holder got denied, or loved one got denied. He was seeking revenge, which?
Speaker 1:seems obvious with the bullet casings right, like that's what it would seem like sure right.
Speaker 2:But then you have have the inside job to cover scandals. So the idea is that Thompson's murder was orchestrated by insiders at United Health to silence him before he could expose internal corruption or malpractice. So Fuel for the Fire reports Thompson being under investigation by the DOJ whispers a whistleblowing or a tell-all in the works. So the edge factor for that is corporate cover-ups. Always add that juicy cloak and dagger element. Did he know too much, right? Um, and so you have something like that where you put those things in there, make it look like it might have been that guy, or it might have been because of the revenge or whatever. Um, that's why I don't do it in paper. Yeah, this is.
Speaker 2:You got like a whole book over here trying to shuffle through uh pharma industrial complex retaliation, so the whole pharmaceutical industrial complex not happy with them.
Speaker 1:You know, maybe not covering medications, things like that I mean, I think we're getting a little crazy with some of these.
Speaker 2:Yeah, anti-corporate activism turned violent. So radical anti-corporate activists targeted Thompson to make a statement about the corruption and greed of the US healthcare system. It's a symbolic in nature of targeting a healthcare CEO Speculation that the suspect deliberately left behind inscribed bullet casings as a manifesto-like gesture. It's a modern twist of 1970s-style domestic terrorism.
Speaker 5:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, the crypto connection? Eh, could be Okay. Okay, 1970s style domestic terrorism, okay, okay the crypto connection, yeah, could be okay.
Speaker 2:So a bizarre twist suggests that thompson might have been dabbling in crypto ventures, angering shady actors okay, just about hawk to in the crypto underworld uh so the theory hinges on rumors that he was exploring blockchain for health care claims, uh, which could have disrupted existing revenue streams or dealings, um kind of adds a little cyber funk, cyberpunk flair to it. Uh, just a random act masked as a conspiracy. I feel like it can't be random at this point.
Speaker 1:I feel like there is no I mean it can't be random when he's got the bullet casings written on, like that was planned. But like I don't know if it, I don't think that it's this crazy. I think it's one of two things. Like one, he was paid because he's still at large, like usually. That doesn't happen, right? Have you seen the video?
Speaker 3:no, yeah of him like it looked very like sloppy sloppy because he, because it jammed like the guys well.
Speaker 2:So there's a couple things behind that. Um, if the suppressor's too big, it could be too heavy. It could cause. Could cause the gun to not function, cycle as proper. The bullets that he used could have been underloaded to reduce the sound, which causes it not to cycle. There's a lot of things, but like the guy, how he stood, it just didn't seem like a hitman. It didn't seem John Wick enough.
Speaker 3:I mean, look, have you seen the movie with that pretty boy from Top Gun on Netflix?
Speaker 2:You talking about the guy who played Rooster?
Speaker 3:No, no, no no.
Speaker 1:The guy that's an asshole. He's an asshole actor.
Speaker 3:He was on Twister.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. Oh, no, he's not the asshole. No, I got you. Yeah, he is. Yeah, he is Hangman. He plays Hank man, glenn Powell. Yeah, glenn Powell, he's not the asshole. Yeah, he is. He's a cocky asshole. He's a cocky asshole, hank. Well, I mean like as an actual, real person.
Speaker 1:He's not a cocky asshole.
Speaker 2:No, I'm sure he's probably a nice guy, one of the Top Gun actors is an actual asshole in real life oh. I didn't know that Niles Teller.
Speaker 3:Niles Tell acts like a hitman to sting people and he's like there's no such thing as a hitman. There is no such thing as hitmen, at least here in the united states, but like you can't go up to somebody or find somebody and say, hey, I want somebody dead I mean, I could probably find somebody that would be willing to do it for a few thousand dollars if you go to mexico you can pay somebody 50 bucks and have them murdered. That's probably true no, it's true all right I don't know from experience.
Speaker 2:I just hear one of the things that I did though with my, with my chat, gpt okay was. I was like you know what, I'm gonna just roll with it. I want the jokes, because the internet's been full of these jokes and I want to see. I know we're going, we're teet man. We're teetering on that. You know you don't speak ill of the dead or whatever. Okay, whatever.
Speaker 3:What'd Dustin say about it? Dustin said that like it's not going to cover his deductible or whatever, yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, so this one is insurance karma. Brian Thompson ran United Healthcare, a company famous for denying claims. Ironically, the only thing denied this time was his right to life insurance. Jesus.
Speaker 1:Christ.
Speaker 2:Okay, health insurance irony. Imagine the irony. A man who spent years making health care less accessible now gets gunned down in front of a hotel. You think his policy covers targeted attacks? Probably not. His family's not getting paid. Bullet points taken literally. Probably not his family's not getting paid. Uh, bullet points taken literally. The gunman left casings with the words deny, defend, oppose on them. Those aren't just bullets, they're. They are united healthcare's corporate mission statement. Fuck me. United healthcare ceo gets taken out, and I can't help but wonder what was the deductible on that? Or did the shooter get pre-approval first? Okay, uh, rebranding opportunity. United healthcare should take this as an opportunity to launch a new ad campaign. We're not just killing your hopes for affordable healthcare. Sometimes we're the victims too. All right conspiracy corner. People are saying this could be an inside job to silence him. If so, this is the most extreme cost-cutting measure in UnitedHealthcare history. I don't like these. All right, we got just a couple more.
Speaker 1:It looks like you got like eight more.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, just a couple more. Jesus, all right. Executive Premiums. Maybe the guys should have signed up for the Executive Protection Plan, you know, the one that lets rich people avoid the same fate as the rest of us. Okay, this is a social media hot take. Twitter is ablaze with people saying karma. If that's true, I hope karma remembers to bill UnitedHealthcare for the out-of-network spiritual service.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think karma has health insurance with the strip club, though.
Speaker 2:All right, and then cautionary tale. This is a reminder to CEOs everywhere If you spend your career denying people the help they need, someone might help themselves to a hip list.
Speaker 1:All right, so let's talk about our thoughts.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, Javier. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?
Speaker 3:On this, the entire thing On the UnitedHe health care, shooting, death. My mentality is any loss of human life is terrible, um, except if they deserve it, or except if they're profiting off of something that's taking away the lives and health of the people in the united states. Do I feel bad? No, the guy has a 43 million dollar net worth. I'm sure he's making more money under the table the company's like a multi-billion dollar.
Speaker 2:I do not feel bad his family's going to be taken care of.
Speaker 3:They're well off and maybe if you didn't work for a company that followed practices that took away the life, the health and the rights to health and life of of customers just for profit, then maybe you'd get a little sympathy.
Speaker 2:But that's not the case I want to know if this is a cloak and dagger thing like look over here, shiny object, look what happened and then something else is you know, going on could be.
Speaker 3:Look, I'm not, I'm whatever. Kill the rich. Okay, I think that's too much.
Speaker 1:No you started off on the right note and then went south real quick. Uh, I you know. Obviously it is not okay when people die in murder murdered right murdered um
Speaker 1:and yeah there's every uh, you know, insurance agency is some form, probably fraudulent, not fraudulent, but they're all for profit, so they're all doing things there's some dirty practices probably right. Right if they're. If they're making that much money, where's that coming from us and we're not using it appropriately? Right, but we need it legally and so it's like there is some problems there, but that's not all directly correlated to that one individual.
Speaker 3:No, no, it's not like he went out saying I hope you die. He's not the one writing the policies no. It's people that are working in like the. What is it? The bureaucratic part of all this? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:The problem is that our country allows that to happen. Yeah, it's like we've created the standard of like you've got to have insurance in order to pay for these crazy astronomical hospital bills or whatever may happen. Whether you need it or not, you have to pay for it. Right, you've got to have insurance because whatever could happen could put you like bankrupt. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean and so like it, we it's. We're in between a rock and a hard place and they shouldn't be making profit as much as they are. They shouldn't be multi-billion dollars like okay, million dollar, whatever. The fuck. Right, they're companies, I get it, but like that's crazy to make that much money off the backs of people that are paying you because they fucking have to so kind of on the same subject, but they are saving lives too.
Speaker 1:Like you got to think, yes, it's all shitty, like I've been denied claims, but I've also not had to pay a hundred thousand dollar bills too, you know I mean.
Speaker 2:So there's good and bad, both happening, just depends on who you talk to so trump uh talked to uh the prime minister of canada um the other day and basically said you know, so we're going to put tariffs, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:What Snow Mexicans? Snow Mexicans.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're going to, so we're going to put tariffs you know, tariffs on them. And they're saying they're going to put tariffs on us. And he basically said we will cripple your economy and you might as well become the 51st state.
Speaker 1:Jesus.
Speaker 2:Bernie Sanders has agreed to that. He said that's a good idea as long as we get their free health care and all their other stuff that comes along with it, as long as we keep weed legal and all the fun stuff, universal health care I'm here for it, man, this whole thing, though, with the ceo, I always wonder if it's you know.
Speaker 2:We see something big, flashy on the news. It's kind of like the, the submarine that went down and all those you know billionaires and millionaires or whatever, died, and we were all hyper focused on that. What did it distract us from, really, and always kind of have that in the back of mind. What are we being distracted of right now, like all of our attentions on this, something else might be going on um also, though what if this is just like this?
Speaker 1:what if he? What if he cut this guy off in traffic one time and he's just like an angry person?
Speaker 3:oh, you mean like that movie with ben affleck and uh um samuel jackson changing lanes.
Speaker 2:Changing lanes, or was it crash?
Speaker 3:no, it was changing.
Speaker 1:Great fucking movie I don't think I've ever seen that that's good but yeah, like if he cut him off, he's like I'm gonna figure out who this guy is and he like researched him, like, oh, he's super rich, no one care, whatever, you know, people hate him already. Let me make them really hate him by putting these on the books. What if it was something so simple? And then, like people are blown out of proportion.
Speaker 2:I mean I, I'm just figuring it's probably somebody from like on 4chan or something. Dude, don't ever go on 4chan, 4chan is Is that still a.
Speaker 1:Thing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's very much still active and it's crazy. Yeah, no, I'm good, I go in there anytime anything big like this happens. I usually go in there to see if anybody confesses. Oh, I have a you though. So I was on there and, like I do every once in a while, I'll just kind of see, because I want to see, like if people are like what's the chatter? Right?
Speaker 1:now Temperature check.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there's this guy who posted something. It was very like, very weird. He's like basically like, do you want to see a dead body? And so people were like, yeah, this this dude started taking pictures. He had pictures of his girlfriend he killed and posted on there. He got caught, but it was straight up like it had just happened. He took pictures, he posted on 4chan. So that's the kind of people that you're dealing with.
Speaker 3:Wasn't there a documentary? Kill cats, don't fuck with cats.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there was another one.
Speaker 3:That one was fucked up, but good.
Speaker 1:I'm not watching that shit. And then there was another one about like QAnon or something like that, oh yeah, it was similar Talking about 4chan and all sorts of stuff, but yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, I want to bring up one other little piece of thing that's going on, if you all haven't heard, because I want to jump into just a little bit of the true crime world. Before I do that, I want to say that netflix is going to make a movie off the ceo kelly. Oh yeah, that's what's gonna happen for sure. Um, all right.
Speaker 3:So have you all heard about the disappearance of the 30 year old photographer, hannah kobayashi? Oh, yeah, yeah, they uh had an announcement yesterday at a press conference, yeah, about how they so hannah kobayashi's from hawaii and she was supposed to be going to new york.
Speaker 2:So she flies, hawaii, has a connecting flight in Los Angeles, goes to New York. She never gets on that connecting flight and disappears. She kind of just like she's been in contact with her family a little bit and then she just goes like radio silence. Right. They got her traced where her bags went to New York. She contacted the airline, had them sent back to Los Angeles, she collected them and the last they have seen now at this point is that she went across the border into Mexico on her own free will.
Speaker 3:That's what they say. Have they released any footage about that?
Speaker 2:They haven't released footage that I've seen, but what they're saying is that she is no longer a missing person. She is a voluntary missing person and so they would like for her to come forward and say like hey, look, I'm okay, right, um, but yeah, so despite the los angeles uh police department classifying hannah as a voluntary missing person, her family strongly disagrees. They emphasize that her abrupt disappearance and alarming messages are uncharacteristic. Family spokesperson Pigeon Paganus, which is a weird name, stated we're really afraid. End quotes Highlighting their ongoing fears for her safety.
Speaker 3:Can they check and see if they put an insurance policy on her?
Speaker 2:The family's been proactive in seeking help, I mean look. Distributing flyers, engaging with the media to raise awareness. They urge anyone with any information to come forward. All right, Her dad went to Los Angeles and was like handing out flyers outside of the airport and all that, and then they found his body in the basement, like level of the parking garage. What dead. He killed himself.
Speaker 3:Yeah uh, gladys says that it's wild but I don't think her dad killed kill himself so, involvement of authorities.
Speaker 2:Uh, the family has provided these documents to fb, okay, so here's where it gets crazy. So, so, discovery of immigration documents. So during the search, hannah's mother found immigration documents in her Hawaii home, suggesting a possible marriage to an Argentinian citizen named Alan Cacace C-A-C-A-C-E.
Speaker 2:God, Argentinians are the worst, these documents raise suspicion of fraudulent marriage intended to secure a green card. So the family has provided these documents to the FBI, prompting further investigation into the legitimacy of marriage and marriage intended to secure a green card. So the family has provided these documents to fbi, prompting further investigation, the legitimacy of marriage and any connection to hannah's disappearance. So the family's attorney, um, has called for caution, stating that the family has not confirmed the authenticity of any marriage, is urging against speculation right now. Um, so they still got this ongoing thing. Another fucking movie's gonna to be made, shit, I think. Because there was text messages and stuff where she had talked to other people saying that she was wanting to just like cut the cord, essentially and like get away from like all the social media, all that stuff, yeah, and so she just disappeared into Mexico. Social media, all that stuff, yeah, and so she just disappeared into Mexico. I think that she legitimately just used this as an out to just Get away yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, who knows. I think it's wild about her dad, though that's fucking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was a wild twist to it, like we've seen, like these videos of him, you know, pleading. Like you know, we want my daughter back you know, where she at all this other stuff.
Speaker 1:And then it's like, oh yeah, by the way, we found him dead what I think is crazy is how difficult it is to find people or like, like the, the murder, uh, of the united health, whatever but also how easy it is to find people right, that's what I'm saying like how could they not find him?
Speaker 1:How could they not find this girl, when it's so easy to find people these days? Like, people don't get away with shit at all, so and then the ones that make national news somehow are the ones that get away. Like how does that happen? How is that a thing?
Speaker 2:So the city of Fort Worth uses a thing called the Real Time Crime Center, rtcc, and they have crime cameras all over the city, right Like all over the city, and they're in all these different areas and everything. They have gunshot monitoring, detection, they have license plate readers, they have all of this stuff Red light camera, all of the cameras, the lights they read. I think license plates and shit, all the cameras, I mean some of them do like they have gay, have cameras on on some of them to read license plates.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they've got all this. They've got all this stuff right. So you have an instance like this where this person just kind of slips off into mexico and then that's it right. Or you have this guy who murders the ceo and he disappears into central park, that's la and new york which are two of the biggest cities that have all the stuff that doesn't have all the stuff all the stuff
Speaker 2:yeah and they can't find them. That's crazy the assassin well, yeah, that's what I'm saying like how? So you stepped out for a second and now you're coming back into the conversation where we're discussing how it's so it seems like it's so difficult to find these people, yet it's so easy to find people these days I think new york is the most monitored location in the world yeah, other than washington or whatever, where there's cameras in every corner.
Speaker 3:After 9-11 was the epicenter of like, where everything is just located, where you're looking. You can get on earth cam and like, look at central park.
Speaker 1:There are cameras everywhere also. Like traffic sucks, like I don't care what time of day it is, like you, you can't get around. And of course the dude was on a city bike, right or whatever yeah, well, he was an e-bike.
Speaker 3:It was an e-bike, right, those are tracked yeah, they got gps yeah that's city bikes. It was an e-bike, it was an e-bike, it was an e-bike, and then he jumped on an e-bike.
Speaker 1:I heard it was a city bike, because some hacker guy was actually figuring out where city bikes were going and he said that he knew where the guy went because it was a city bike. I don't know if that's true. I mean, there's been so much shit on social media or whatever. But regardless like if they're going to go on a subway or something like that, there's cameras all over, you got to check in, you got to do your ticket, flights, cars, like there's so much tracking on everything, like it's just hard to see someone get away, especially in a city like that.
Speaker 3:So David says that we're wrong. Chicago is the most camera. Okay, yeah, I mean, and I believe that too, like I believe, Okay.
Speaker 2:I mean, and I believe that too, like I believe, okay, out of all these places though you look at Chicago, new York, washington DC, la cameras everywhere, major metropolitan areas. Fort Worth's got cameras everywhere. Now, that was in the news, I think, a couple years ago and people were kind of up in arms because it's like, oh, you're watching us and yeah, all that stuff right. But my god, in in um today's world, it I I find it very difficult, like how could I? I don't know if I could just disappear, yeah, how would you do it? I think you would have to get, you'd have to have cash, yeah yeah, everything no cards on you, no phone on you.
Speaker 1:You can't have any bit of technology on you, yeah, ditch all you'd have to drop everything, include any modern vehicle too true, right, yeah, you have everything and so you'd have to get one of those cars that's being made in mexico you would have to that we discussed in one of the last episodes.
Speaker 3:You would have to stay in a location that is very poor. Buy a burner with cash or have. You can't even have somebody get you a ride because they'll have a camera in a store. You have to walk at a certain location.
Speaker 1:You could wear that hat, though You'd have to wear that hat, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then dump it, or just have a shirt that says I'm from Europe or something. But you have to. I've thought about this If I had to murder someone here in Fort Worth, how would I do it?
Speaker 2:Okay, well, let's not talk about murdering somebody. Oh sorry, let's just say that you have to disappear from Fort. Worth Cr here you've got somebody after you. You got to just get out of here yeah I mean realistically, because I mean if you go to, you go to the border.
Speaker 1:They've got video of her crossing the border yeah, yeah I mean you'd have to go in the country which, luckily, I feel like texas has got so much of. Like you, I feel like it'd be fairly simple here. I mean you have to ditch all technology. You'd have to lose any kind of modern car and you'd have to go out in the middle of nowhere. You'd have to wear any kind of modern car.
Speaker 3:You'd have to go out in the middle of nowhere you'd have to wear a mask anywhere you go, so that way they won't trace you with sunglasses you're just looking like the Unabomber at this point. I was at Boot Barn or I was at. For us it'd be easy like shave our hair.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Lose the glasses that alone is like a hell of a change. You know what I mean. Lose the glasses that alone is like a hell of a change. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4:I don't want to.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. I mean they got her crossing the border and so in my mind, we're incriminating ourselves for future murder. Like you couldn't go across the border, but I always wonder like if you ever start driving out you ever start driving out you?
Speaker 2:ever start driving out west, right, you start getting out like pecos, oh, you mean, like when you're going towards midland and you're like in the middle of nowhere, yeah, even past that, like you're heading, you're in between like the middle of odessa and el paso, yeah, that range right there, and you see these like random, like there's nothing out here, but there'll be like a trailer, just one random trailer, just sitting in a in a plot of land with nothing around. I always wonder, like those people don't want to be around people and it makes you wonder if, like they're, are they escaping? You know something? It seems like you're just existing at that point.
Speaker 3:I think that's where people go to Terlingua. If you live over there, you've got nothing over there.
Speaker 2:Just try to. You're just in the desert, just exist in the desert and disappear. You have an option to go across the border in a small little mexican town and from there you're gone, you disappear, that's it, but they still like have a record of you crossing no, you cross a little boat.
Speaker 3:You don't go through a check check-in station you're talking about to book bookilas, right?
Speaker 2:yeah yeah, but you have to. You're supposed to go to the they have on the on the mexican, but you're supposed to go to the they have on the Mexican side. You're supposed to. You're supposed to go.
Speaker 3:You're supposed to.
Speaker 2:I would think that they would probably make you no.
Speaker 3:People walk barefoot. They'll walk barefoot across that little river and get in there and they eat and come back and that's it.
Speaker 1:They don't check in and pay their. Speaking of that, I really want to do that in 2025. That's on my list. I really want to do that in 2025.
Speaker 4:That's on my list. It's a national park. Yeah Well, it's right by Big Bend no but I'm saying the Mexico side.
Speaker 2:It's considered a national park too.
Speaker 3:The Chihuahuan Mountains, yeah something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just watched the whole thing on this and you're supposed to pay the Rangers over there.
Speaker 1:I want to go to Big Bend next year and take a whole week and go to all the things that we've talked about doing.
Speaker 3:You're two hours away from everything once you're in Big Bend. You're two hours away from Alpine. You're two hours away from Marfa. You're two hours away from Alpine.
Speaker 2:Well, obviously, alpo, the observatory, the observatory, the observatory, davis Mountains, yeah, davis Mountains Observatory. The spring over there, the really great spring, balmora, balmora, the spring over there.
Speaker 3:The really great balamore, yeah, which I want to go dive that I've never been there section where they you can dive, but you're two hours from everything, you're all. You're two hours from, uh, um, real mexico. Not book, yes, but um, my brains like tijuana. All right, what else is?
Speaker 2:that's you wanna, uh, juarez juarez, yeah no, no, juarez.
Speaker 3:Juarez is like eight months, so that's all I've got.
Speaker 2:That's some crazy shit. That's been going on. Yeah, it's been a lot. It's been a lot happening over the last couple weeks here.
Speaker 3:Can we say 2024 has been one of the wildest years on record? No, no.
Speaker 2:No. So we witnessed some pretty insane history, though just recently. So in the first time in modern, or actually in warfare and altogether, an ICBM was used to do a strike on somebody.
Speaker 3:It wasn't an ICBM, it was something different. They're saying that.
Speaker 2:I know it was an ICBM. All intents and purposes it's an ICBM.
Speaker 1:They were saying it's an intermediate, like an IC Bell movement, like something that was super cold Intercontinental ballistic missile.
Speaker 2:They typically carry a payload for a nuclear war, like it's a nuclear payload on it. Russia launched one into Ukraine and everybody sat there basically like did they just not launch an actual nuclear, you know bomb? Right, they didn't.
Speaker 1:They had conventional payload on there versus nuclear, but those are meant to launch nuclear missiles so they shot something that could have had a nuclear bomb, but it just had a regular payload yeah, so the way it blew up like a missile or whatever, but not like a nuclear.
Speaker 2:And here's where it gets a little bit more hairy. So, whenever it, it's like a three-stage rocket so it launches, and then it launches, it drops off its initial fuel load and it launches again, and then the third stage it has, like these, it breaks into, like these five or whatever different warheads, and it makes it so your Iron Dome, which is what Israel has. We have something similar to that where these missiles strike it out right. So we have those deployed in Ukraine. We gave them to Ukraine to use and they were able to stop maybe like three or two. Yeah, so it just shows that the system it does work kind of. Work kind of, but broken, yeah, it might not work so well with this, and so that's the first time we get to witness something like that in history, which is a very scary thing. Like did people die? Like did it actually hit?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, really it wasn't a nuclear it was conventional payload but it didn't kill anybody though it. Yeah they.
Speaker 3:They hit a city with with it, but the camera shot of it coming down was scary as fuck. I got to look that up. That's wild, it's insane. I had no idea.
Speaker 2:So, Neil deGrasse. Tyson yeah, so he was talking about nuclear warfare and that everybody's fear is, you know, if we shoot nuclear missiles and whatever, drop a nuclear bomb, it's going to have this big fallout and there's going to be nuclear winter across the earth or whatever. And that's not actually true. Modern nuclear weapons don't create that same fallout. It's very he said it's very contained. Yeah, to like.
Speaker 2:Wherever you're hitting now it's the countries that don't have developed real developed nuclear yeah, like nukes from like 20 years ago, yeah, so like pakistan might have nukes from like early nuke days, that yeah, that would be a problem yeah yeah, it's crazy science we're living in, we're living in a wild time and I was talking to dustin last night um in between sets at this concert.
Speaker 3:I was at when when are we going to have him?
Speaker 1:on I don't know, we've never had them on. Yeah, we're going to have to have him on soon, we know yeah.
Speaker 3:Matt, and they played my voicemail a week or two ago.
Speaker 2:But I was talking with him and I was talking to Stubbs. Stubbs and Dustin were both out and Stubbs and I are both in agreement at this point that at some point.
Speaker 1:Y'all want to do each other.
Speaker 2:At some point. We're going to do each other because this is a simulation, right yeah, we were offed at some point and now we're just in this weird simulation. I wish, man, someone needs to hit the reboot button. Life's too real.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't think so. Life's too real, my dude. So okay, are we going to have an episode in two weeks. Yes, I want to have a Christmas episode. And honestly, what do y'all think about asking someone to come on and drink some wine with us? We still have the bottle that was brought on the last show.
Speaker 3:Oh, Mikey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I saw him at Down and Out and dude's getting swole oh prison.
Speaker 2:Mikey's been hit.

Speaker 1:did you grab his penis, is that? Why does it feel so veiny? It was so veiny, uh, but I was like man, we would love to have you back on, and I I mentioned, I think, that and I still have a lot of, like las harras. I mean, I still have the subscription, so I have a lot of las harras, so I'll bring over a few bottles and we'll just I'll steal a couple bottles from my dad's uh she is some nice shit. Yes, dude, we'll drink like a bottle of peace.
Speaker 2:Why don't you bring that? Uh, bring that bottle that was left at your house that whole time no, he's got like.

Speaker 1:Before you close out, we have two voicemails. Okay, that's why I was yeah, yeah, you ready. We got one a few days ago you gonna you gonna put it up on there.
Speaker 3:I think we have three total, and then if no, we don't.
Speaker 1:We had one that we played, I think, on the list.

Speaker 1:Wait, did we listen to this one on the 21st?

Bruh, I ain't even gonna cap that made my whole year, bruh, the biggest fan of the funky panther, bruh. But shit, I wanted to answer y'all's question, uh, why I went to so many high schools. I'm actually a Rhodes Scholar. The each school I went to like I made the best grades and it wasn't even a challenge. And on the field, the coaches, they couldn't even max out my potential. So I would just go to another school because I wasn't getting stimulated at that school.
Speaker 3:Pause it real quick and also max out on my stable. So for me it kind of sounds like dank.
Speaker 1:Right, that's what I was thinking, but it's like dank. Right, that's what I was thinking, but it's not dank. It's not dank. There's no way. This is dank. That's my first thought too.
Speaker 3:I researched the number. I put it through my search engines and it's a Google based number.
Speaker 1:Oh, so someone's fucking with us. So someone's fucking with us, someone's fucking with us, and so my cousin, I saw him over my grandma's birthday.
Speaker 3:I'm like hating ass.

Speaker 3:We just put a voice thing over.
Speaker 4:How's it going? Chad, javier and Tim, this is Zidane calling. I wanted to make a request that I'm really proud of y'all and I love what you're doing for the city of Fort Worth Definitely better than what Sleepy Joe or Kamala would do for them. Let me tell you something On Trump Force One. We watch many podcasts while we're strolling through the earth, through the hemisphere, to make America great again. The Funky Panther is true Texas grit and I really respect it quite frankly. So when I'm rolling through on the trail one day, when I'm coming through Texas, quite frankly I'd love to be on the show.

Speaker 1:We've got another one.
Speaker 4:Oh, my God, this is Jimmy the Long. Let me tell you we put on this podcast always at Reflections. It's the best club in Fort Worth I like.

So, like all you three guys from the Funky Panther, you're always so fucking juicy, thank you. Let me tell you something Like oh my God, especially that ginger. Oh my God, I know those red pubes are flaming the fuck. Anyways, like I just want to let you know, keep up the good work. You're repping the 817 so good. You've got theq plus three community right behind your back, if you know what I mean, because you know we'll be breaking that back anyways, like, just know, this is jimmy the long and I'm your biggest fan and the girthiest too. Anyways, you have a good one, guys, especially that ginger. Uh, bye, jim.
Speaker 1:Jimmy the Long and Girthy. I know he did this.
Speaker 2:Are we doing? Do we now say LGBTQ plus three, because I kind of like that I don't hate it that makes it so much easier that was fun. Okay, so we got one more from a number that is not that last phone number, right? Okay, let's get this one going. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 5:I think there's a couple things that need to be considered, in that you have a guy who was no one knew. You could have picked him out from a lineup or a name pick.
Speaker 1:I think we're talking UnitedHealthcare.
Speaker 5:And all of a sudden this guy gets assassinated and he's immediately killed and everyone is rooting for him, which is a big deal in that it separates the divide between the working class people and the elite, and that is a big red flag for the economy.
Speaker 2:I agree that is a big red flag for the economy. You got this division right. It's the whole eat the rich thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that it's beginning like that itself has been getting so further. A lot of politicians have talked about this, including Bernie Sanders is like the divide between the wealthy and the middle class is ridiculous. Like, you know, whether you're making 50,000 or 150,000, you're still very much middle class and there's people that are like dropping people, you know, on meme coins and stuff and we've got so many millionaires and billionaires nowadays. It's like it's kind of bizarre how we are so poor and we've been working our asses off to get where we're at, but we're so broke. But yeah, there's a huge divide. It's wild, it is wild it's like what they say second uh, this guy, he used a suppressor.
Speaker 5:Um, he not only was able to clear the jam repeated times, but he's also able to close the gap. And what I mean by that is that when he didn't panic, you guys said that you know, this guy was an amateur I'm not saying okay, I want to.
Speaker 2:I want to say I'm not saying he was an amateur, but I'm looking at how he was standing at that first shot. The first shot did not have, like he had this kind of like weird like stance, like the way I can describe it, and maybe it's just a camera angle. Maybe it's just a camera angle, I don't know, but it's almost like that uh, you got your rifle out, you're leaning way back.
Speaker 1:It just didn't seem like there was no initial push forward with it, or maybe it was a fake out, maybe it was just intended to be awkward and maybe and I do want to say that that is entirely possible.
Speaker 2:The way he looked, the way he acted, that first shot, everything could have been kind kind of that uh, misleading kind of look like he's trying to.
Speaker 1:I'm not this big, you know, whatever I feel like I want to go and watch this video, though, because I've got the video it's not bad.
Speaker 3:Look, if you think it's going to be gory. It's not he I was.
Speaker 2:I was actually. No, I was. I was not hoping for the gore, but you know, I thought it was gonna be worse. I thought it was going to be worse. I thought it was going to be worse. I was like, ah, this.
Speaker 1:But I shoot a decent amount. But if I had a jam I'd still be like what the fuck? I didn't expect this. And if it's that quick. I mean, that seems like someone that's used to the gun. Maybe they're just used to their gun.
Speaker 2:There's a theory that the gun that he used is actually this gun made by B&T. It has already got a suppressor built into it and it's mimicked off of this older style gun that was in World War I, world War II, and actually you have to. It has a magazine, but you have to pull this little plunger back each time and clear it. It's not a semi-automatic, got it. So there's a theory that that might be what he was using. They haven't ruled it out, but the but the last news article says that that's what they're kind of looking at that gun got it and they're trying to find because it's. It's a rare gun too.
Speaker 5:It's not something that not rare, but it's like not something that's very normally used right all right uh, you know, he didn't know what he was doing, necessarily, and and those things are all may be true, but I I think that there's a a significant factor to that, and what I read into it is is that this guy was cold-blooded as heck I agree through that and here's this guy.
Speaker 5:He's committing, probably arguably, what is his first act of a serious offense. And not only is he able to work the weapon, but he's able to close the gap. And what I mean by that? He's able to advance to his target. So he takes a shot, his target falls or responds to that threat.
Speaker 3:Oh, he responds and then stumbles, and then he.
Speaker 5:And he's able to manipulate his weapon while continuing to advance. He doesn't freeze, he doesn't say oh shit, should I leave, should I stay? Should I go?
Speaker 1:Should I stay or should I go he?
Speaker 5:manipulates his weapon repeatedly and continues to advance forward to ensure what I would assume is that he is going to kill his target. That is someone who is methodical. That is someone who is cool, calm and collected. That is someone who has rehearsed this again and again, and again. That is a dangerous opponent you're not wrong the video.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with that the clip of him walking, that plus when you watch him just oh yeah, he just like, he just like nothing there's people there, yeah, like there's people there and all of a sudden they're like holy crap and they're all like kind of ducking and this dude just like but is that initial shot? Because, like um, for those that aren't watching, you need to watch. You know, you watch us on there. You can kind of see us demonstrating things, but like he didn't do that, push out, like you, you know like you go towards, you go forward whenever you're like it just seemed like very much like the first time you shoot a handgun or whatever.
Speaker 2:You're kind of leaned back, you're kind of worried about it or whatever, I don't know. That just seemed a little weird. But yeah, the whole situation is just uh strange. I do want to say one thing, though this whole division thing, right, um, c-span, just uh, they were showing the um, the congressional hearing with frontier airlines spirit and oh yeah, I don't know if you've seen with Frontier Airlines Spirit and, oh yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I don't know if you've seen any of that Chad, that's going on.
Speaker 3:We talked about this last week.
Speaker 2:They're talking about basically like predatorial fees and things like that, and how they come up with their baggage fees and stuff. And they brought up specifically with the bounty system that Frontier was using or is using still, where the gate agents are paid $10 per bag that they deny to come on the plane as carry-on really, yeah, I've got.
Speaker 1:I've been denied a bag that I was approved for many times.
Speaker 2:Yes, so by Spirit right so they're incentivizing and Spirit was doing the same thing. Um, they've since changed. I think Spirit changed theirs. Frontier was still doing it, but they were incentivizing these gate agents to do that. They paid out millions. It's like something like but collectively between I know it was Frontier, spirit and I can't remember what the third one was but collectively between all those airlines, they paid out like $43 million between 2022 and 2023 in just bounties. Holy shit, that's crazy. Right? So you have that? Right, you've got these rich. They got to make a pro. I get it. Airlines got to make a profit. But he brought up a point like so I could get on the flight and you could get on the flight, we can be on the same flight and I could pay substantially more for my check bag than what you had to pay. And how is that determined? And we'll use like, well, it's algorithms based off of demand and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 5:No.
Speaker 2:So they run these demand algorithms to determine how much you're going to pay for your checked bags. Instead of everybody pays the same. Yeah, and now they're capitalizing on oh, you want that extra little leg room. You know, here's that it's all capitalized on like let's, let's put as many people on these planes as we can to make as much money as we can. Yeah, and I understand your business. You got to make some money, right, but there's gotta be a line, right.
Speaker 1:Right, cause then you're going to have like less people wanting to travel, because it's already fucking expensive to travel.
Speaker 2:Right, and now you're just trying to like and your discount air is now nickel and diming you on every little thing, right, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like if you go and look like I always use Google flights or whatever and like look up cheapest flights, you always like, oh look, frontier's only 100 bucks. You click on it and you go through and you add a couple of things, all of a sudden it's $400. Yeah, but that's what I do Honestly like. There's still a lot of things about Southwest that I'm looking forward to in the future, especially like next year when they start like giving you seats.
Speaker 2:Yeah, specifically, I kind of like the assigned seats.
Speaker 1:I like the assigned seats. Will we be paying for it More than likely? But they will always have two bags at least, Like that's a loan, like $50 to $100 that you're saving right. Correct Just that, but yeah, it's getting a while.
Speaker 2:So there's a congressional hearing on that. Now you know, doing all this stuff with this nickel and diming on and the government, they want to force a change. Right, I'm all for that, and this is the first thing.
Speaker 1:Like the last episode I talked about, like them, or a couple episodes ago, I think talking about them yeah, they have to pay you if something happens not just like give you a voucher or whatever.
Speaker 2:So it's crazy that they're like starting to lock down so one other thing that has has come up too is did you know that the dea? So this is, they were up until just, uh, recently they have undercover DEA agents at basically every airport, like international airport, and they will come up to you because you've been flagged and basically they're looking for drugs or cash and you can have, and there's people who have had their sums of money you know, five, six, eight, $10,000 or whatever confiscated.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:With no other connection to any drugs or anything. It's just because they have a large sum of money and they were flagged. Um, they found that that is unconstitutional. They were doing these unconstitutional searches. Here's where it gets even better. They found out that there was also they had informants that were gate agents that if you bought a same day ticket or a last minute ticket, these gate agents were flagging you and they were getting. If they found cash, the gate agent got a percentage of that cash. That's fucked. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:And so it was something that had been going on for a while. There was a investigative report that came out on it and an individual, and so this report came out and this guy had seen this report and then he experienced the exact same thing in the airport and so he started filming and he filmed the whole interaction and because he watched that report and he filmed this interaction, it actually caught it live of what was actually happening and it shut down this whole dea program wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:You know, whenever I was working in colorado there there were no bank of americas. Every check that I got I had a cash like. When I came back the first time I had like maybe I had a bunch of cash and I was way over the threshold of, like the amount did you fly?
Speaker 3:I did fly yeah, I, it was for thanksgiving, I think, and I was like how am I gonna hide this money? Like I gotta hide it in my bag and I gotta put it in like on my person and I was very worried like they're gonna take my money, like they're gonna, but they, I had no way of like proving that you're not a drug dealer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and so look, these are my tools whenever I made it through tools for dealing drugs like a huge wad of cash in my pocket and then also like on my back in my bag. But on my bag I kind of like spread it around on on the bottom and so that way you'd be like, oh well, nothing to it. But when I got home I was like, oh thank god, that's crazy, though.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, I understand that it could be tied to drugs and shit, but like I didn't know that was a thing. There's a show on netflix recently about this guy that's going to get his brother out for bail or something like that. He had like thirty thousand dollars cash. He like sold a truck, he like borrowed some money. He was gonna go bail his brother out and the cop stopped him, found thirty thousand dollars and like secured it and they're like this is probably drug money. We're keeping it. And I was like that's bizarre, but I didn't know that that was like a real life yeah, like, yeah, yeah they, they don't have to give you the money back that's, that's why I mean it's it's they had a story on that like five years ago on Last Week Tonight.
Speaker 3:They can take your money and say it's just evidence or whatever, and they don't have to give it back to you.
Speaker 1:Also, bank of America has, like, sister companies everywhere. You could have just deposited one of the sister companies.
Speaker 3:They had ATM. They had one ATM at the Cherry Creek Mall.
Speaker 2:He's not aware of sister companies.
Speaker 3:I don't know I'm Mexican. I don't know I'm Mexican. I don't know what the fuck a sister company is.
Speaker 1:That's what we did when we went to Europe. You had to find the places where you can pull money out without fees and shit.
Speaker 3:I only followed you whenever I did that shit, when I pulled money, I just followed you. You think this fucking beaner right here is going to fucking? Oh, let me parent company sister company.
Speaker 1:Let's see where I can take money out. I'm done.
