Russ and Lindz kick off their 2025 podcast discussing 'Gooch Week' and their New Year's resolutions.

They discuss her interest in the upcoming 'Onyx Storm' book and her love of romance novels, which Russ playfully teases her about.
The episode takes a turn into more serious territory as they discuss recent events, including a terrorist attack in New Orleans and a conspiracy theory involving Matthew Livelsberger, a Green Beret who allegedly exposed a potential Chinese drone technology threat. They also explore the strange legal proceedings surrounding a recent murder case and debate the complexities of internet censorship and parental responsibility.
In classic Unfiltered Union style, the podcast meanders through various topics, including their thoughts on the new season of Squid Game and a hilarious debate about whether 'KFC' can be pluralized as 'KFCs'. They discuss the challenges faced by teachers, share observations about parenting, and reflect on the seemingly chaotic start to the year 2025, all while maintaining their characteristic humor and candid conversation style.

Foreign.
This
is
the
Unfiltered
Union.
I'm
Linds.
And
I'm
Russ.
Here
is
this
week's
episode.
Hello,
2025.
We
here
live.
I
just
yawned.
I
don't
think.
It's
just
not
a
good
day
for
this.
I
don't
think
we
recovered
from
Gooch
week
yet.
You
don't
know
what
the
gooch
is.
Yes,
I
do.
That's
why
I
said
it.
You
don't
look
on
your
face.
It's
pretty
good.
You
don't
know
what
a
gooch
is.
Yes,
I
do.
It's
the
space
between
man's
things.
Yeah,
but
now
you
have
balls
and
butthole.
It's
like
this.
That's
how
we're
starting
this
one
off.
That's
the
goose.
But
that's
what
people
on
Tick
Tock
and
we're
calling
the
week
in
between
Christmas
and
New
Year's.
Before
you
go
back
to
work.
Watch
your
hands.
Sorry.
And
before
we
get
started,
I
wanted
to
say
the
butcher,
Say
hello
to
your
mom
for
me
in
2025.
Love
you
very
much.
Okay.
Now
he's
on
tick.
He's
on.
He.
He
keeps
trolling
our
Tick
tock.
So
I
just
want
him
to
tell
his
mom.
Oh,
we
love
the
love.
I
know.
I
don't
care.
What?
No,
no,
I
just.
That's
what
I
said.
Tell
your
mom
I
said
hello
in
the
new
year.
Okay.
Do
you
have
any
resolutions
for
2020?
Yeah,
don't
drink
soda.
Really?
I.
Well,
the.
The.
Our
goal.
I.
It's
ours.
It's
a
joint
one
we
talked
about.
We're
doing
it.
I
don't
know.
Are
we?
Okay,
but
keep
going.
I
said
no
naps.
But
I
already
butchered
that
in
the
first
day.
What
are
you
looking
at
your
boobies
for?
This
isn't
going
well.
He
keeps
hitting
the
mic.
Yeah,
you
need
to
raise
it
up.
She
got.
She
got
a.
Gravity
is
messing
with
her.
I
think
we
need
to
start
off.
No,
we're
not.
I
probably
shouldn't
say
no,
it's
too
late.
Gooch.
Gooch
week.
I
actually
kind
of
like
that.
Oh,
do
you?
Yeah.
Let's
go
to
Gooch
week.
Okay.
Anyway,
so
resolution.
You
said
stop
drinking
soda
and
no
naps.
But
I
already
lost
the
nap
one.
Yeah,
that
one's
done.
Yeah,
but
the
stop
drinking
soda
one.
We
have
to
wait
until
our
refrigerator
is
empty
of
soda.
That's
the
issue
because.
Well,
I
feel
like
both
of
those
resolutions
then
were
waiting,
so
it's
like
they're
not
really
resolutions.
Oh,
mine
was.
The
nap
one
was
real.
It
just.
I
failed
right
I
feel
like
you.
Need
to
restart
that
one.
I
ain't
restarting
it
because
I'm
gonna
take
another
nap
after
this
podcast.
The
cat's
trying
to
come
in
here
again.
Get
to
see
Benny
Cat
here
in
a
minute.
Well,
I
think
mine.
I
got
to
39
books
last
year.
Yeah,
I
read
39.
I'm
so
proud
of
myself.
That's
not
enough.
No.
I
wanted
to
get
to
50.
I'm
so
mad.
I
told
you
to
read.
I
am
Legend.
That
would
have
gave
you
one
quick,
easy
win.
Well,
I
like
a
lot
of.
I
like
romance
type
books,
but
like
them
porno
books.
Smut.
But
the.
Some
of
them
are
fast,
so
it's
not
a
problem
of
that.
It's
just,
you
know,
having
the
time,
making
the
time
kind
of
thing.
So
ultimately
that'll
be
my
goal,
is
to
hit
the
50.
Well,
the
other
day
I
went
to
bed.
Yeah,
it
was
our
first.
I
think
it
was
our
first
or
second
day
back
to
work.
And
I
went
to
bed
fairly
early,
probably
about
10ish.
I
fell
asleep
and
I
woke
up
to
go
to
the
bathroom
and
I
think
it
was
like
two.
And
you
were
still
awake.
I
was
like,
you.
You
are
tripping.
No,
I
have
bouts
of
insomnia,
hormone
things.
So
I
just.
Oh,
yeah,
like
this
morning
when
you're
reading.
I
had
a
dream.
An
alligator
was
attacking
me.
I
was
trying
to
kick
in
his
nose.
Is
that
why
it's
went
flying?
Is
that
why
I
got
cold?
That's
probably
what
woke
me
up
is
I
got
cold
because
it's
cold
in
Florida.
I
don't
like
it.
But
a
new
book
is
getting
ready
to
come
out
in
less
than
three
weeks.
Onyx
Storm,
the
third
book
in
the
fourth
Wing
series.
I
am
determined
to
get
you
to
read
the
series.
I'm
not
going
to.
Why?
I've
got
other
stuff
to
read.
Okay,
fine.
There's
a
little
bit
of
smut.
It's
not
a
whole
lot.
Yeah,
that's
too
much
smut.
It's
just
a
little
bit.
Just.
Just
go.
Go
watch
porn.
Whatever.
Although
it's
your
brain.
Did
you
see
the
news
though?
January
1st,
Pornhub
is
no
longer
allowed
in
the
state
of
Florida.
Weird.
Well,
pornhub
blocked
Florida
because
I
think
Florida
passed
a
law
to
prevent
minors
from
accessing
it.
They
require
like
an
ID
upload.
So
pornhub
said,
we're
not
going
to
do
that
to
people,
so
we're
just
going
to
block
the
entire
state
of
Florida
IP
addresses.
That's
interesting.
Yeah,
I
don't.
I.
I
need
to
think
about
that
one.
How
I
feel
about
that,
because
why
would
you
want
minors
to
have
access
to
porn?
You
don't,
right?
No,
but
the
way
Florida
wants
to
police
that
is
by
requiring
an
id.
Pornhub
doesn't
want
to
deal
with
that.
I
understand.
That's
pii.
Yeah.
I
mean
as
a
business
you
may
not
want
to
deal
with
that,
but
I
don't
know,
like.
Well,
the
funny
thing
is.
So
the
alternative
is
blockchains
just
have
access
to
it
in
other
states.
Everybody.
If
they
don't
have
a
law
requiring
that,
then
you
can
just
log
into
it.
They.
I
mean
pornhub
has
the
pop
ups
and
all
that
crap.
I
would
assume
to
say
I
verify
you
are.
Yeah.
They
don't.
They're
not
just
going
to
say,
but
who
do
you
think
a
minor
or
whoever
is
gonna.
I
know.
And
you
get
into
the
idea
of
policing
the
Internet.
Right.
Like
should
you
do
that
and
should
you
censor
it?
So
I
get
where
that
becomes
a
slippery
slope.
But,
but
the
funniest
part
about
it
was
there's
this
privacy
oriented
company
called
Proton.
They
do
email,
emails,
VPNs,
all
that
stuff.
They
posted
a
tweet,
I
think
it
was
yesterday,
and
it
said
we,
we
are
getting
a
strange
spike
from
the
United
States
and
normally
this
is
on.
This
only
happens
when
a
like
totalitarian
regime
takes
over
in
a
country.
They
always
get
these
random
like
spikes
of
signups
and
usage.
And
they
tweeted
like
a
couple
hours
later
they
said,
never
mind,
it's
porn.
It's
everybody
from
Florida
registering
a
VPN
so
they
can
go
access
pornhub.
That's
interesting.
There's,
I
mean,
like
think
about
it.
Because
the
whole
ban
on
tick
tock.
Right.
Like
you
don't
want
to
get
to
a
point
where
anyone.
Right.
Is
policing.
No,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
like
you
don't
want
minors
have
access
to
pornography.
But
is
that,
is
that
a
parental
thing
for
sure?
Yep.
In
the
household.
That's
not
a
government
thing
to
go
and
tell
so
and
so
or
pornhubs
how
to
run
their
business.
Right.
They're
saying
you
have
to
be
18
to
enter.
Here
is
the
thingy
that
says
you
are,
you
are
confirming
you're
18
to
enter.
If
you
break
it,
that's
on
you.
People
need
to
have
responsibility.
Yeah.
Of
their
actions.
We
have
so
much
that
I
want
to
talk
about
today.
I
want
to
switch
gears
a
little
bit.
Sorry,
that
was,
that
was
random.
That
was
not
on
the
show
notes.
No,
but
I
mean
it
was,
you
know,
good
discussion
topic
and
I
think
it
goes
to
some
of
the
other
things
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute.
Yeah,
that
was
January
1st.
A
good
segue
to
stay
back
on
the
show
notes.
So
we're
just
going
to
jump.
We
went
from
smut
to
pornhub.
We
started
with
the
Gooch
and
the
Gooch.
So
Miraculous
Ladybug,
our
daughter.
I
know,
I
know.
I
don't
have
a
good
friend.
That's
a
terrible
segue.
Miraculous
Ladybug
season
six
is
getting
ready
to
come
out.
The
new
Ladybug
was
on
the
Netflix.
On
the
Netflix.
Was
on
Netflix
as
a
movie.
Yeah.
And
it
has
an
all
new
animation
type.
Right?
Well,
the
style
looks
different.
The
art.
The
art
style
is
different.
I
wouldn't
say
the
animation's
different.
The
animation
is
still
like
that
CG
stuff.
Okay.
The
graphics,
the
art
style.
Okay,
fine.
It's
different
in
season
six.
You
are
clearly
not
a
nerd.
No,
I
mean,
I
like
the
story,
don't
get
me
wrong.
But
all
the
technical
stuff.
But
anyway,
so
it's
all
new.
It
looks
like
the
Netflix
series
rather
than
what
it
did
previously.
I
don't
know
how
I
feel
about
it
yet.
I
don't
either.
I
like.
I
do
think
they
were
due
for
an
update
on
the
show.
The
show
is
very
clearly
a
TV
show.
TV
graphically
type
show.
You
know
how
they
kind
of
do
it
fast
because
they
got
to
pump
out
X
amount
of
episodes
every
year.
It's
not
like
a
movie
where
it's
super
high
quality.
I
do
think
it
was
due
for
an
update,
but
I
don't
know.
Yeah,
they
look
very.
Their
faces
are
smushed.
Yeah,
it's
very
round
faces.
They
look
gerbally.
Right.
I
don't
know.
Maybe
that's
the
point.
Because
doesn't
she
want.
Oh,
it's
hamsters.
Yeah,
but
this
is
kind
of
the
same
thing.
Yeah,
but
we'll
see
some
kind
of.
Rodent
that
goes
in
butts.
I'm
trying
so
hard
to
bring
us
back
and
it's
just
not
happening.
Okay.
But
during
Gooch
week,
we
also
binge
watched.
That's
my
favorite
term.
Now.
We
also
watch
Squid
Game
season
two.
Yes.
Now
to
me,
Squid
Games
season
two
is
just
part
one,
if
you
will.
Part
one
of
season
two.
Right.
I
agree.
I.
I
said
that
to
you.
I
was
like,
there's
no
way
this
was
the
correct
ending.
The
ending
pissed
me
off.
And.
Well,
so
we're
gonna
do
spoilers.
Give
us
a
minute.
Spoilers.
So
if
you
don't
want
to
hear
this.
Love
you.
Squid
Game
season
two.
I
thought
the
way
that
it
started
was
awesome.
Yeah.
Right.
100%
more
squid
game.
Exactly.
That
the
main
character,
Gi
Han,
I
believe
is
his
name,
is
actually
diving
in,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
back
into
the
games,
how
to
dismantle
everything.
Yeah.
Trying
to
find
the
subway
guy.
Like,
that
was
awesome.
It's
like
a.
But
he's
like
a
hero.
He's
trying
to
be
a
hero,
essentially.
Right.
But
then
you
start
diving
into.
He
actually
gets
in
the
game.
And
to
me,
I'm
really
hoping
it's
not
as
obvious
as
it
seems.
Like
the
idea
here
is,
you
know,
all
the
games
that
are
going
to
happen.
Right.
You
know,
red
light,
green
light,
you
know.
Yeah,
but
that
was
the
only
one
that
was
the
same.
True.
But
you
know,
you
know,
the.
I
think
you
even
said
it
when
we
first
started
watching
it.
The
wow.
The
crazy
shock
factor.
Thank
you.
That's.
Yeah.
When
you
don't
get
that
in
season
two.
Because
when
season
one
came
out,
no
one
knew
what
it
was.
It
was
this
small
production
from
Korea.
North.
North
Korea.
Good
Lord.
From
South
Korea.
That
was.
You
know,
Netflix
picked
up
and
then
when
they
start
playing
red
light,
green
light,
all
of
a
sudden
that
person
moves
and
they
get
shot
and
killed
in
front
of
everybody.
You're
like,
holy
shit,
what
am
I
watching?
Right?
It's
so
messed
up.
But
I
feel
like
it's
so
obvious,
though,
because
you're
starting
to
watch
the
episodes.
And
again,
warned
you,
spoilers.
And
the
front
man
is
player
number
one.
Yeah,
we.
You.
You
could
see
that
coming
from
a
mile
away,
right?
You
see
it
coming
from
a
mile
away.
It's
very
freaking
obvious
that
he's
trying
to
sway
Gi
Hun
into
a
certain
thought
pattern
about
the
games
and
just
trying
to
stop
all
of
his
efforts
to
end
the
games.
Like,
you
can
see
it
really
far
away.
I
don't
even
think
he's
trying
to
stop
his
efforts
to
stop
the
game
in.
In
that
way.
Like,
I
think
he's
doing
more
than
that.
I
think
he's
grooming
him
to
be
front
man.
I
would
agree
with
that,
but
based
on
the
meme
you
just
sent
me
whole.
Well,
I
still
think
that
he's
grooming
him
to
be
front
man
because
every
step
of
the
way
they.
This
season
is
a
little
bit
different.
Spoilers
that
after
every
single
game,
they
all
have
a
chance
to
go
home.
But
not
just
that.
They
go
home
with
the
prize
money
that's
left.
They
split
it.
Right.
So
it's
like
you
can
leave
and
actually
leave
with
something
and
not
just
quit
like
in
the
first
season
and
not
leave
with
anything.
But
they
keep
voting
to
go
back.
To
stay.
To
stay.
And
it's
like
every
step,
this
frontman
dude
is
showing
our
main
character
that
humanity
is
stupid.
It's
flawed.
It's
a
bunch
of
garbage
people
in
the
world.
And
essentially
humans,
like,
they
keep
calling
them
trash
and
the
trash
needs
to
be
taken
out.
Right.
Well,
in
the
meme
that
you
just
sent
me,
is
that
player
zero
from
season
one,
the
old
man
who
died
in
the
bed
is
actually
the
father
of.
That's
a
theory.
Yes,
yes,
actually
the
father
of
player
one
and
the
cop
guy.
Right.
And
if
that's
true,
then
the
father
groomed
the
son.
Right.
But
it's
weird
because
the
frontman
was
in
the
Games
originally.
Was
player
zero
ever
in
the
Games?
I
don't
know
if
they
ever
said
that.
Player
zero,
the
old
man
in
season.
One,
he
was
in
the
games
in
season
one.
But
I
mean,
like,
before
he
inserted
himself,
I
don't
know.
But
anyway,
so
you
would
think
then
it
would
be
the
cop
that
would
be
groomed
because
he's
the
brother.
But
you're
saying
that
it's
Gihon,
I
think.
I
hope
I'm
saying
his
name
right.
I
think
it
just
seems
to
me
because
he's
showing
him
over
and
over
again
how
garbage
humanity
is.
Why
wouldn't
they
just
take
his
mouth?
Like.
Well
then
like
on
social
media,
people
are
all
shocked.
Oh,
my
God,
it's
the
front
man.
It's
like,
did
you
not
watch
season
one?
You
didn't
watch
season
one?
Or
you
didn't
watch
Attention
Season
two?
And
didn't
they
show
his
face?
Yeah,
they
showed
him
in
flash.
Yeah.
When
they
shot
the
cop.
Yeah.
I
was
like,
you
don't
remember?
It
was
30
minutes
ago.
But
I
think
I.
It
didn't
end
great,
but
I
think
it's
because
they
split
it
up.
I
do
too.
Season
two
to
season
three,
it's
a
typical.
Yeah,
they.
They
gotta
draw
it
out.
Netflix
paid
handsomely
for
it,
so
they
want
to
make
sure
it
lasts.
But
I'm
really
hopeful
to
see
for
season
three.
The
writer,
though.
That
poor
person,
the
writer
of
Squid
Games
was
so
stressed
out
trying
to
create
the
content,
he
had
no
intentions
or
ideas
for
additional
seasons.
Like
he
was
going
to
do
the
one
and
done.
Yeah.
But
Netflix
begged.
He
lost
teeth
and
stuff
over
season
one,
trying
to.
Trying
to
adapt
it
to
television
and
all
that.
That
poor
writer.
But
I
think,
yeah,
well,
that
dag
on
paycheck.
Floating
golden
parachute.
Floating
golden
parachute.
Yeah.
Gooch
week
is
here
and.
But
all
that.
He
took
the
money.
Yep.
So
it's
hard
for
me
to
feel
terribly
for
him.
Yeah.
Well,
he
voted
yes
to
stay
in
the
Game.
There
you
go.
There
you
go.
But
I
think
my
favorite
character
in
this
season
up
to
this
part,
he's
hilarious.
You
know,
it's
weird.
If
you
look
online,
the
sentiment
behind
him
is
50.
50.
Yeah.
And
I
don't
get
that,
but
I.
Think
that's
the
point,
right?
He's
both
the
comedic
relief,
but
also,
like,
the
one
you're,
like,
not
rooting
for,
but
maybe
rooting
for.
I
was
rooting
for
him
just
because
he
was
nuts.
I
was
like,
when?
Yeah.
When
he
got
it,
I
was
very
upset
because
I
was
like,
man,
I'm
not
gonna
be
able
to
see
him
dancing
around
high
as
anymore.
It
was
hilarious.
And
I.
I
agree.
I've
seen
it
online
where
it
goes
either
way.
It's
like,
no,
that
was
awesome.
Think
about
it.
How
else
can
you
get
through
something
like
that?
Take
that
drug
that
he
had.
Le.
You're
high.
I
would
do
it.
Like,
if
I
was
in
that
game,
if
I
woke
up
and
I
was
in
them
games
and
it
was
life
or
death,
I.
If
they
had.
If
they
gave
me
access
to
something
like
that,
I'm
taking
it.
Yep.
I'm
trying
to
chill
out
because
that's
just
terrifying.
Well,
speaking
of
waking
up
in
a
game.
I
don't
know.
So
it's
a
new
year.
Yay,
2025.
But
it's
the
same.
The
world's
kind
of
crazy.
Yeah,
it's.
We're
not
starting.
Well.
Nope.
2025
is
kind
of
crazy.
Already
got
a
terrorist
attack
in
Bourbon
Street.
We're
starting
there.
New
Orleans
with
a
dude
that
professed
allegiance
to
isis.
Yeah.
And
then
the.
I
think
it's
the
Homeland
Security
person
right
now.
Said
it's
not
terrorism.
No,
said
it
is.
That
there's
a
resurgent
of
ISIS
right
now.
And,
like,
okay,
but
this
one
individual
acted
alone
in
the
New
Orleans
tragedy
with
his
truck
and
took
14
lives.
But
he
also
had
bombs
that
didn't.
Go
off,
and
he
got
out
and
started
shooting,
too.
Insanity.
But
they
filled
him
full
of
bullet
holes.
I
saw
the
picture
of
him
laying
on
the
ground.
I.
I
think
they
should
release
pictures
like
that
of
people
that
do
stupid
shit.
You're
going
to
get
50.
50
on
that,
too.
Because
I've
seen
people
say
you
shouldn't
even
show
the
scene.
Right.
Well,
don't.
I'm
not
saying
show
the
victims.
I'm
saying
show
the
dirt
bag
that's
laying
there
that
you'll
get
50.
50
on.
That
was
a
clown.
He.
Well,
what.
Well,
not
he.
But
what
bugs
me
a
lot
about
that
whole
situation
is
supposedly
Bourbon
street
has
this
very
high
tech
anti
car
bollard
system.
Barricades
that
rise
up
and
go
down.
Barricades
that
rise
up
for
their
nightlife
because
it's.
It's
a
constant.
Like
it's.
You
grab
a
drink
and
you
walk
to
the
next
place.
It's
a
party
thing.
So
they
shut
down
the
road.
Well,
for
some
reason,
on
New
Year's,
on
freaking
New
Year's,
they
decided
to
leave
those
down.
Leave
those
down.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
a
decision
or
if
somehow
there
was
something
that
made
them
go
down.
Never
go
up.
It
doesn't
matter.
It's
like
the
mo.
One
of
probably
one
of
the
busiest
nights
of
the
year
for
Bourbon
street
and
your
protection
wasn't
working.
Yep.
Makes
no
sense.
Yeah.
Sketchy.
There's
a
lot
that
doesn't
make
sense.
Like
even
the
individual
who
essentially
set
a
Tesla
on
fire,
made
a
bomb
out
of
a
Tesla.
Don't
get
me
started
on
this.
This
is
conspiracy
theory
central
right
here.
Yeah.
So
the
individual
Matthew
Levels
Burger,
I
think
is
how
you
say
that.
Send
a
whole
manifesto
into
what
kind
of
burger
this
is.
Last
name.
Stop
it.
I
think
I
said
it
right.
I
am
butchering
names
today.
Sorry.
But
send
a
whole
manifesto
to
a
podcast
and
it's
out
there
for
you
to
read.
We'll
have
a
link
on
our
site
to
it.
But
essentially
it
says
that
he's
a
whistleblower
and
he
is
calling
out
exactly
what's
happening
in
the
Pennsylvania,
New
York,
New
Jersey
area.
All
the
drones
that
are
currently
on
the
northeast
seaboarder
that
it's
China
and
they
have
a
specific
type
of
tech
and
it's
checkmate
if
they
ever
decide
to
use
it
against
us
in
a
show
of
force.
And
it's
a
lot.
It's
a
lot.
This
propulsion
system
is
supposedly
like
gravity,
something
or
other.
It's
dead
silent.
There's
no.
I
don't
think
there's
any
emissions
or
anything
like
that.
And
from
what
his
manifesto
says,
they
can
carry
an
unlimited
payload
into
the
US
and
essentially
destroy
us
because
there's
no
way
to
track
these
things.
Yep.
Gravitational
propulsion
systems.
Yeah.
Which
is
insane.
Like,
think
about
that.
Something
that's
flying
around.
But
this
is
all
crazy
to
me
because
remember
all
those
fighter
pilots
seeing
those
random
things
over
the
ocean
that
defied
our
known
physics?
Yes.
Is
it.
Is
it
actually
us
and
not
alien
life?
Or
China
now.
Or
China.
Because
that's
what
this
manifesto
said.
So
this
manifesto
said
we
have
these
propulsion
devices
and
so
does
China.
And
China
is
launching
them
from
submarines
in
the
Atlantic
to
essentially
scare
us.
Right.
Show
force.
Show
a
force.
But
what's
weird
though
is
this
guy,
he
was
not
some
just
rando
dude,
right?
He's
a
Green
Beret.
Right.
He's
a
Special
Forces.
And
he
thought
he
was
going
to
be
taken
out.
Like
he
was
going
to
try
and
make
it
to
Mexico.
He
thought
he
was
going
to
be
taken
out.
His
manifesto
says,
like,
I
think
I'm
being
tailed.
Hopefully
I
can
make
it
to
the,
to
the
border.
Right?
Well,
he
didn't
supposedly.
Supposedly.
So.
So
what's
weird
too
is
he
the,
this,
this
bombing
that
happened
was
in
front
of
one
of
Trump's
hotels
in
Vegas.
It
was
a
cyber
truck
that
was
full
of
like
what
looked
like
fireworks
and
everything.
That's
what
the
explosion
looked
like.
And
the
body
that
was
found
inside
was
beyond
recognition.
Cyber
trucks
have
the
hardware
to
self
drive.
They
said
that
that
was
not
engaged
on
this
vehicle.
Now
they
could
be
lying.
Well,
I
mean,
I
would,
I
don't
know.
But
my,
I
guess
my
point
is
though
is
how
do
we
know
that
this
dude
wasn't
off
to
put
in
a
cybertruck
as
a
plant
and
then
they
just
pushed
it
over
to
Trump
Tower,
or
not
Trump
Tower,
but
Trump's
hotel
in
Vegas?
Well,
I
would
like
to
take
it
just
like
a
step
back
and
say
this
makes
way
more
sense
than
aliens
because
that's
what
everybody
kept
saying,
right?
Like,
oh
my
God,
nobody
knows
what
it
is,
who
it
is,
where
it
came
from.
Yeah.
Because
they
were
dead
silent.
Nobody
could
hear
them.
Yep.
But
everybody's
seeing
them,
right?
All
up
and
down
the
Northeast,
everybody
saw
them.
The
US
Government's
like,
nope,
that's
not
us.
National
governments.
Nope,
not
us.
I
have
no
idea
what
that
is.
It's.
So
this
makes
more
sense.
It
can't
be
aliens.
Like,
I,
I
don't
think,
I
mean,
I,
I'm
not
saying
that
it
can't
be
because
I
don't
know.
I
have
met,
I
haven't
been
proven.
Nothing
has
been
proven
to
me
that
they
don't
exist.
I
understand.
So
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
they
don't.
I,
I
lean.
This
makes
more
sense.
Yeah,
I
lean
towards
it.
Something
that
is
new,
like
it's
a
test
or
a
show
of
force.
But
this
guy
seemed
to
think
that
this
is
a,
essentially
a
world
ending
thing,
right?
It
is.
It
could
be
an
extinction
level
event
because
of
what
these
drones
are
capable
of.
It'll
be
essentially
a
mutual
destruction
type
deal.
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
think
that's
what
people
say
about
World
War
three,
Right.
It
would
just
be
nuclear
bombs
and.
Yeah,
but
survivors,
I
guess
this
is
different
in
a
way
that
this
is
something
the
world's
never
seen,
and
there's
no
intercepting
these
things
supposedly.
Like,
if
you
put
one
of
these
propulsion
devices
on
a
rocket.
Well,
would
it
even
be
considered
a
rocket
anymore?
Because
it's
not
really
a
rocket
engine.
But
anyway,
if
you
put
one
of
these
on
a
rocket
with
a
huge
payload,
you
wouldn't
know
until
it's
over.
Well,
and
I
think
when
you
start
building
this
technology,
you
always
also
build
the
anti.
The.
The
stopper,
if
you
will.
So
I.
I
think
that
goes
twofold.
But
to
the
extent
that
we
know
this,
this
manifesto,
whether
you
believe
in
any
of
this
or
not
makes
more
sense
to
me
than
aliens,
than
aliens
that
have
been
over
the
Northeast.
I
think
it
makes
more
sense
to
someone
like
Elon,
too,
because
he's.
He's
been
a
big
proponent
of
not
believing
in
aliens.
Well,
and
the
fact
that
it
was
a
cyber
truck,
right?
Like,
whose
attention
are
you
trying
to
get?
You
put
it
in
front
of
one
of
Trump's
hotels
in
a
cybertruck.
Whose
attention
are
you
trying
to
get?
I
am.
I.
This
is
me.
This
is.
This
is
coming
from
me.
From.
No,
you
know,
this
is
my
opinion.
I
don't
think
the
dude
that
sent
the
manifesto
is
the
dude
that
was
in
that
truck.
Well,
not
by
choice.
Maybe.
Yeah,
he
might.
He
didn't
blow
himself
up
in
front
of
Trump's
hotel
in
Vegas.
Right.
I
think
he
was
either
offed,
Offed,
murdered,
placed
in
the
thing
in
the
cyber
truck
as
a.
You
know,
just
to
get
rid
of
him,
essentially
burn
him
up,
or
they
put
somebody
else
in
there.
What
do
they
call
them?
The
dead
bodies
that
are
in,
like,
the
morgue
or
whatever.
Cadavers.
Yeah,
they
put
one
in
there
just
to
make
it
and
then
planted
him
just
to
make
him
disappear.
Because
maybe
they
didn't
find
him.
Maybe
he
is
alive
somewhere.
I
don't
know.
I
just.
I
have
a
really
hard
time
thinking
that
this
dude,
if
he
sent
the
manifesto,
there's
a
lot
of
weird
moving
parts
to
this,
but
if
he
sent
this
manifesto,
I
have
a
hard
time
believing
that
he
wanted
to
kill
himself.
He
was
running
from
them.
Right?
So
to
me,
if
you're
running
from
them,
you
don't
want
to
kill
yourself,
right?
You
want
to
live,
because
why
would
you
just.
Just
stop.
Just
let
them
get
you.
Well,
and
I
think
not
to
switch
gears,
but
I
am
when
it
comes
to
Luigi
Mangioni.
I
think
I
said
that
right?
Names.
I'm
getting
the
same
kind
of
feelings
and
vibes,
you
know,
like
I
don't
know.
I
feel
like
maybe
he's
not
the
guy.
Oh,
you,
you
don't
think
it
is?
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
either.
I
don't
know
because
he
just
pled
not
guilty.
Okay.
Maybe
it's
a
strategy.
Maybe
he
doesn't
think
like
he'll
be
found
guilty
by
a
jury
of
his
peers.
That's.
That's
probably
what's.
What
he's
banking
on.
I,
I'm
leaning
that
way
too.
But
at
the
same
time,
like,
people.
Are
hailing
this
fool
as
a
freaking
hero.
It's
weird.
Yeah.
I
don't.
Murder
is
not
a
heroic
deed.
But
on
top
of
it,
though,
they're
also
doing
some
weird
stuff
with
the
judicial
system.
Even
Luigi
Mangione's
defense
attorney
is
saying
this,
this
was
a
USA
Today
article
that
he
is
being
charged
in
Pennsylvania
for
state
charges.
Yeah,
those
were
like
gun,
gun
charges.
I
think
weapons
charges.
But
then
also
in
New
York
City
on
federal
charges
for
stalking
and
murder.
And
then
New
York
State
charges,
including
murder
in
the
further
ends
of
terrorism.
And
essentially
he's
ping
ponging
between
these
states
and
all
of
these
trials
for
all
of
those
charges
right
now.
I
mean,
that's
not,
that's
not
something
that's
typically
done.
I
don't.
That's
unprecedented
is
what
the
defense
lawyer
is
saying
as
a
human
ping
pong
ball,
that
going
to
these
hearings
in
quick
successions.
So
it's
like
they,
they're
trying
to
wear
him
down,
maybe,
or.
No,
they're
trying
to
find
something
that'll
stick.
That's
what
they
do.
I
guess.
Typically
you
extradite,
right?
You
extradite
someone
not
well
and
they
serve
the
charges
or
that
sent
whatever.
They
go
through
that
process
and
then
you
extradite
them
to
the
next
place.
You
don't
take
them
from
state
to
state.
It's
right
next
door.
Okay,
but.
Well,
not.
No,
because
if
it's
a
state
thing,
you
have
to
go
to
the
state
court.
Okay.
I
guarantee
you
it's
not
right
next
door.
So
what,
he's
got
to
drive.
I'm
sure
he's
enjoying
the
scenery,
but.
No,
it's
just
not
normal.
It
is,
though.
Police.
When
you
even.
I'm
reading
what
the
defense
attorney
is
saying,
even
they're
saying
it's
not
normal.
If
you
are
speeding
and
they
want
to
get
you,
they're
going
to
throw
more
than
speeding
at
you
if
they
can.
Like
when
somebody's,
when
somebody
goes
on
a
police
chase,
they
say,
you
ran
a
stop
sign.
You
ran
it.
Did
you
ran
a
red
light.
You
did.
You
failed
to.
You
like
that
liar,
liar
thing.
I've
got
unpaid
parking
tickets.
They
throw
everything
at
you
that
they
can
because
they're
hoping
something
sticks.
I
hear
you.
Now
his
murder
charges
in
New
York
might
not
stick.
Right.
So
that's
why
they
have
charges
in
Pennsylvania.
Might
stick.
Well
in
the
federal
versus
the
state
level.
I
get
it.
I
hear
what
you're
saying.
After
this
dude.
Right.
And
for
him
to
plead
not
guilty
and
then
have
this
weird
following
and.
That'S
why
he
pleaded
not
guilty.
He's
almost
never
really.
Like
they
can't
necessarily
place
him
at
the
crime.
Like
it's
weird.
Well,
that.
And
that
that
may
be
part
of
the
reason
why
they're
placing.
Or
he's
doing
not
guilty
either.
I
mean,
I
don't
know
if
he
did
it
or
not.
Right.
And
everybody's
saying
innocent
until
proven
guilty,
which
I'm
agreeing
with.
But
yeah,
so.
But
if
they
don't
have
evidence
to
place
him
at
the
crime,
then
he's.
Probably
going
to
get
off
is
2025
is
already
weird.
It's
very
weird.
I
can't
wrap
my
head
around
all
this.
I've
got
one
more
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about
that
is.
Uno
mas,
kind
of.
But.
So
why
are
we
talking?
Can
we
switch
gears
into
something
fun?
Yeah,
one
second.
So
I
saw
recently
on
Tick
Tock,
there's
a
mass
exodus
right
now,
right.
Of
teachers
out
of
the
education
system
because
teaching
sucks
because
kids
are
assholes
and
their
parents
aren't
that
great
either.
So.
Yeah.
Letting
them
watch
pornhub.
A
teacher
was
actually
beaten
by
a
student.
Oh,
I
think
I
heard
that
she
broke
her
knee.
That's
ridiculous.
During
the
altercation,
in
my
mind,
she
needs
to
not
only
sue
the
school
in
the
district
for
not
keeping
her
safe.
Yep.
Sue
the
parents.
When
are
we
going
to
get
to
a
point
where
parents
are
held
liable
for
their
children?
I
agree.
I
mean,
that,
that
that's
how
it
should
be
because
like,
if
you're
going
to
claim,
well,
they're
a
minor
so
they
can't
go
to
jail.
Well,
we're
going
to
go
after
the
people
who
can.
Well,
maybe
we're
not
going
to
send
you
to
jail,
but
you're
going
to
help
pay
her
medical
bills.
She
shouldn't
have
to
go
to
the
hospital
because
she's
teaching.
That's
not
a
freaking
active
job.
Well,
when
we
were
at
breakfast
this
morning,
there
was
a
family
sitting
a
table
over
and
I
can't
help
myself.
I'm
a
people
watcher.
And
I
was
kind
of
listening
to
their
conversation
that's
ridiculous.
It
really
was
the
NSA
over
here.
It
was.
I
caught
myself
doing
it
a
couple
times.
But
the
kid
was
talking
to
their
parents.
She
was
a
teenage
girl.
And
she
literally
said
to
her
mom,
her
dad,
and
her
little
sister
was
there,
you
don't
even
like
me.
Oh,
my
God.
I'm
listening
to
the
conversation.
The
parents
are
trying
to
talk
her
through
her
feelings.
Like,
why
do
you
feel
that
way?
What.
Please
give
us
examples.
And.
Well,
here's
how
I
felt
about
that,
and
here's
how
I
responded
to
that.
And
so
they're
trying,
right?
And
thank
God
for
parents
like
that.
Keep
going,
right?
Keep
talking
to
your
kids.
Don't
let
them
shut
down.
But
to
hear
that
poor
kids
say
stuff
like
that,
like,
where
is
that
coming
from?
Right?
That.
That's.
Is
that
just
hormones?
Do
we
all
do
that?
Yeah,
but
you
have
to
just
imagine
the
kid,
though,
that
says
that
to
their
parents,
and
they
say
something
like,
yeah,
you're
right.
No,
I'm
not.
I'm
not
even
joking.
I'm
being
serious,
because
there's
parents
out
there
like
that.
For
example,
we
just
got.
We
went
to
Great
Wolf
Lodge
in
South
Naples,
right?
South
Naples
or
just
Naples?
I
think
you're
saying
that
because
the
gps.
Yeah,
the
gps.
We
call
it
South
Nipples,
but
yeah.
Because
the
GPS
lady
says
it
funny.
Well,
I.
We
went
there
and
we
went
there
with
our.
Our
family.
So
we
had
a
bunch
of
people
there.
So
I.
I
was
sitting
down
and
I
was
finishing
my
breakfast
at
one
of
the
pool
chairs,
and
place
is
crowded,
so
there's
people
sitting
behind
me.
And
it's
a
family,
and
they
had
two
or
three
kids.
One.
One
real
infant.
One
of
the
kids
went
and
got
ice
cream
and
came
back
eating
ice
cream.
And
the
dad
lost
his.
Cussing
the
kid
out.
This
kid
was
maybe
10,
not
even
a
teenager
yet.
I
don't
know
why
you
need
ice
cream.
I
don't
know
why
you
getting
ice
cream.
You're
not
getting
anybody
else
any
ice
cream.
And
speaking
to
this
kid
like,
this
kid
was
a
piece
of
shit.
And
I'm
like,
this
child
will
probably
grow
up
and
feel
like
everybody's
gonna
treat
them
like
that.
Unloved,
unload.
Yep.
And
they're
either
going
to
repeat
the
cycle,
repeat
the
cycle,
treat
others
that
way,
and
then
become
like
a
menace
to
society,
or
hopefully
they're
like,
he's
just
a
piece
of.
My
dad
was
a
piece
of.
Yep.
You
know,
and
breaks
the
generational.
Breaks
that
cycle.
Yep.
But,
man,
I
was.
I
was
like,
come
on,
dude,
just
chill
out.
He's
talking
to
his
spouse
like
that.
And
I'm
like,
this
guy
is
just
not
a
great
person.
And
he's
got.
My
intrusive
thought
was,
I
wish
a
motherfucker
would
try.
But
these
cat.
This
is
what
both.
We
know
you
wouldn't.
We
know
you
wouldn't.
No.
This
is
what
bugs
me
though,
is
this
dude
has
kids.
I
know.
And
you're
talking
to
your
kid
that
way.
Right.
You're
not.
They're.
You're
supposed
to
raise
them
up
and
raise
them
in
a
way
that
they
are
better
than
you.
Right.
You're
making
them
as
bad,
if
not
worse
than
you.
Yep.
Because
especially
when
your
parent,
your
father
figure
is
talking
to
you
like
you're
garbage.
What
do
you
think
a
stranger.
They
think
a
stranger
thinks
about
them.
Or
a
teacher.
Yep,
exactly.
It's
so
bad,
I
was
pissed
off.
But
not
trying
to
get
into
an
altercation
at
Gray
Wolf
that
would
have.
Been
good
tick
tock
material.
This
is
a
family
friendly
environment.
We
started
off
with
Gooch.
Family
friendly.
Okay,
switching
gears.
You
ready?
Yeah.
I
know
this
one.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Kfc.
No.
Damn
it.
Yes,
I
know.
Okay,
Yesterday
we're
driving
home
from
the
store
and
there's
a
kfc.
Okay,
hold
on.
We're
driving
home
from
the
grocery
store
where
we
just
went
and
got
groceries.
Don't
try
to
change
this.
And
you
want
kfc?
I
did.
I
wanted
a
bowl.
One
of
them
bowls
sounded
so
good
with
the
chicken
and
the
corn
and
all
that
and
the
gravy.
Yeah.
You
want
multiple
bowls?
No,
I
wanted
a
bowl.
Just
one.
Then
I
had
to
get
another
bowl
for
our
kiddo.
All
right,
so
here
we
go.
Here
we
go.
How
do
you
say
kfc?
It
depends.
Say
it.
It
depends.
Say
it
the
way
that
you
say
it
all
the
time.
Don't
change
it.
No,
it
depends.
Don't
change
it.
Do
you
want
to
go
to
KFCs?
There
is
no
S
in
the
name.
Yes,
there
is.
There
are
multiple
restaurants
named
KFC.
Do
you
want
to
go
to
a
KFC
or
multiple
KFCs?
There
are
multiple
around
us.
I
want
to
go
to
one.
But
you
don't
say.
That's
not
how
you
say
the
title.
Do
you
want
a
KFC's
bowl?
Do
you.
There
are
multiple
bowls.
Do
you
say
one
bowl?
Do
you
want.
Do
you
say.
Do
you
want
to
go
to
Chipotle's?
No,
I
would
go
to
multiple
Chipotle.
But
my
point
is,
though,
is
you
are
saying
it
wrong.
No.
Yes,
I.
Multiple
chickens.
No.
It
doesn't
matter.
You
don't
say.
I'm.
I
got
a
bucket
of
KFCs.
Yeah,
you
do.
There's
a
multiple
in
the
bucket.
You
say,
I
got
a
bucket
of
kfc.
That
is
what
you
say.
That
is
kfc.
And
I
got.
No,
I
got
a
bucket
of
chicken.
You
got
a
bucket
of
kfc.
KFC
is
now
the
possessive
pronoun.
It's
not
Kentucky
Fried
Chickens.
It
can
be,
but
apostrophe
s.
No,
no.
It
is
freezing
in
Florida.
Is
it?
It's
not
Kentucky.
See,
it's
not
Kentucky
Fried
Chickens.
It's
not
kfcs.
But
I
still.
So
we
brought
this
up
to
our
kid
yesterday
who
was
busting
out
laughing
because
we
started
arguing,
and
I
said,
timeout.
Save
this
for
the
podcast.
That's
one
of
my
favorite
arguments,
because
we've
had.
We've
had
this
argument
for
years.
I
think
one
of
the
first
Thanksgivings
that
I
went
to
your
family
with,
you
said,
oh,
yeah,
we
got
KFCs.
And
I'm
like,
it
was
not
a
Thanksgiving.
But
okay,
yeah,
they.
They.
They
would
do
turkey,
but
they
would
also
have
kfc.
No,
My
grandmother
used
to
make
fried
chicken.
Thank
you.
Anyways,
before
I'm
saying,
she
was
older
when
I
went,
and
she
didn't
make
fried
chicken.
It
was
a
regular
Saturday.
Yes.
Sometimes
on
a
regular
Saturday,
nobody
cooking.
Okay,
well,
we
would
go
there
and
we
would
have
kfc,
but
she
decided
to
say,
we're
gonna
go
have
some
KFCs.
It's
like,
what
is
this?
Is
this,
like,
the
special
Kentucky
Fried
Chicken
special?
Okay,
Colonel
Sander,
calm
down.
But
did.
Oh,
I
love
it.
We're
freezing
in
Florida.
It's
not
good.
Don't
move
here.
It's
gonna
be
in
the
30s
this
week.
Don't
move
here.
Love
you.
Bye.
