Every year, millions of American children line up in gymnasiums and cafeterias across the country. And they comb their hair, they straighten their collars, and they smile on command, while a stranger with a camera captures their image and their name. And their school and their grade and their face. All documented and stored by one company that most parents have never thought twice about. And that company is LifeTouch. And they photograph more children than any other organization in America. More than Disney, more than the school system,

itself, more than the Department of Education, more than the government. And here's the question that almost no one is asking. Who are these people behind the camera? And more importantly, what happens to all of those photographs after Picture Day is over? Now, this isn't some hit piece on school photography. That's not what we do here, but it really is asking a question about privacy and data. And ultimately, who has the right to your information and your face? and should another company be able to store that and access it and back it up for years? And what could they do with it if they wanted to? Well, we're going to answer all that and more.

So sit back, relax, and welcome to camp. What's up, people, and welcome back to camp. My name is Mark Gagnon, and thank you for joining me in my tent, where every single week we explore the most interesting, fascinating, controversial stories from around the world from all time forever. Yes, that is what we do here at the campsite, all right? This is my attempt to basically understand everything that's been going on, figure out everything that's going to happen,

and really just try to make sense of this world around me, all right? And, yeah, I mean, I just want to, you know, just say thank you so much to every person that clicked on this video makes this channel possible, truly. I mean, every time you guys engage with the content, you not only make my dreams come true, you keep the lights on here at the campsite, and you keep the fire burning.

And as a matter of fact, we actually changed the light system. It was adjusted because we got a comment from a G-Molo-11-1-1-1 that said, hey, Mark, you in the tent are awesome. which I appreciate that, all right? And then he also said, you should dim the lights and vibe in the tent. It helps when having the video playing at night. Well, you ask and you shall receive.

Now, I'm sure you're wondering, Mark, who did control the lights? Who actually was the person that dimmed him? Well, it's my good pal Christos, Papadopados. And he sits in the town with me every single day, and he tries to figure out all the stuff that's going on as well. Creastos, how are you? I'm doing great, Mark. I'm glad to hear it, Chrisos, but we don't have time

because we're talking about Life Touch. All right. All right. You said you had something planned. Well, it just scares me. Okay, all right. You know what? This is why we can't even dive into it, okay?

But look, I also want to give a shout to all the people that commented on the last episode. We got some funny comments. I got a, this guy, Ulysses 3998 said, he said, you guys got Obama looking like a Hershey kiss in the thumbnail. That is racist and very funny. Unfortunately, that's a banger. So my bad Obama And it also says All right, here we go

We got aliens being confirmed before GTA 6 That is a good point, Jay Bader And I mean, let's see what else Oh, your producer sounds like a talkative Riley Mao That's Theo Von's producer, shout out That's so funny, dude

Miles does sound like a talkative unbustible Riley Mao I love the unbustible Riley Mao You've seen that? He's great It's so funny The unbustible Riley Riley, Mal. But apparently he's busted.

A couple times now. Well, let's go. Riley, Mal. Here we go. That's fire. I love it. Now, Mark, I kind of want to set the mood for what we're talking about today. Just an example of a school photo that went to Life Touch. Okay. Dude, no way.

That's you? That was me. No, that still is you. That's the guy I used to be. That's exactly what you look like now. Yeah. Yeah. That's like you basically exactly.

I can't believe you're doing a. face reveal, dude. That's not me anymore. So of you as a kid, dude. Damn, that's wild. And that's actually Life Touch. I think so, yeah. That is so funny. Yeah, we had Life Touch come to my school, which is a tricky name for a company that's been embroiled in a lot of controversy. Life Touch. Not ideal. Well, if you don't know what we're talking about, don't worry, okay? I'm about to fill you in. Basically understand why people are talking about Life Touch and why this conspiracy theory and, you know, this whole sort of scandal exists. in the first place. Let me just give you some context. Basically, school districts around the country are canceling their contracts with LifeTouch. Parents are keeping their children home while LifeTouch is

going to do school photos. Across the country, it's a huge thing. And people are looking around saying, like, what is going on? Why is there this massive blowback against the people that, you know, set up drapes and take photos of a kid in a gym? Like, this is for the yearbook. Like, what could possibly be going on here? And the answer is multifaceted. And we're going to go through all of the different angles. But for some context on Life Touch, this is a massive company that was started back in 1936 in Minnesota, basically during the Great Depression. And a photographer named Eldon Rothgeb realized that schools basically were kind of an untapped market. And parents wanted pictures of their kids and schools needed, you know, this revenue stream. And, you know,

this was a partnership that was born and basically grew into something way, way bigger. And for decades, Life Touch dominated the school photography industry. Eventually, like photographing something like like 50,000 schools nationwide, like 50,000. And then Shutterfly acquired the company in 2018 for $825 million, almost a B, almost a capital, but a billion dollars. Now, Life Touch had become so embedded in the school experience that most Americans couldn't, you know, even imagine a picture day without them. And they kind of like, lo-key monopolized the whole vibe.

They were just like, yeah, we're just kind of come in, take pictures, you guys get them. It's so easy. Now, let's talk about how the business actually works, okay? Life Touch contracts with school districts for these exclusive access to do the photographs. And these aren't competitive bids where parents basically like choose their photographer or anything like that. They are just institutional agreements that grant one company the right to come to schools during the day and happen to photograph every child in the building. Which sounds kind of creepy, okay? And again, I don't want to accuse this company of some type of wrongdoing outright, okay?

They haven't been charged of any type of crime or anything like that. But I just want to explain why it's a little weird. Okay, basically you have these photographers that show up and are often seasonal, you know, like contractors and they're hired for like the fall and spring. And then they go in and then parents receive like a photo package in the mail and they can choose to purchase prints. And, you know, that's the part that people don't really think about. That the photography happens regardless of whether parents buy anything or not, right?

Like, it's all then stored. And the data that's attached to it is put into servers. that are owned by LifeTouch. And by itself, this seems pretty innocent, right? School photos are a tradition that go back generations. It's something that's just like a part of culture. You know, parents want the pictures of their kids at all the ages. And I've seen moms put them in like a little scrapbook of like every year

and you see your little kid grow up. It's cute, right? We all think it's cute. The problem is the access and the data that I don't think people are really thinking about. And I think this whole Life Touch thing kind of put online what people were feeling about like social media for the longest time. Like, yeah, you just share some photos of your family, right? it's cute. And then all of a second, what, what are they doing with all this information? And who are

they giving it to? And it's being sold. Like, I think a lot of people didn't realize that until a few years ago. And this life touch thing is just kind of like the newest iteration of that. So first, there's the access problem, okay, which is unfortunate, but it is something that needs to be addressed. We've all kind of been through this life touch situation, right? You have some guy come in, He comes and, you know, tells you how to take photos and sets you down in front of a drape and, you know, lifts your chin up and fixes your shirt. And this person is a stranger, right? They're not a teacher or an administrator or school employee. And they've been hired by this outside company to basically come in and do this specific task.

And the photographer tells your child where to stand and where to look and, you know, all of that. And it's initiated by this stranger, normalized by the institutional setting to the point where no one even thinks that, you know, it could be potentially problematic. And the photographer is just trusted by default because they showed up with a camera and a lanyard that says they are from this company that's then sponsored by the school district. But you have to ask, there must be a background check requirement, right? Well, the answer varies depending on where you live. Some states require extensive background checks for anyone who works in schools in any capacity, including vendors and contractors and these outside people. Other states have a lot looser requirements, particularly for workers who aren't classified as school employees. And here's the thing with these Life Touch photographers, they are independent contractors. And the company has faced multiple lawsuits over its employment classification practices. And basically, the lawsuits are alleging that LifeTouch misclassifies workers specifically to avoid the responsibilities and the cost they go along with full-time employment. Now, does that include the level of vetting that a full employee would require? If you have a part-time or a contractor, does the vetting all of a sudden

go down? The answer is, we don't really know, because the requirements vary by jurisdiction. But what we do know is that there have been documented cases, not rumors or anything, but like actual arrests and prosecutions of school photographers getting caught committing these crimes against children. So in 2017, a life touch photographer in Texas was arrested for possession of material. This same individual who had this disgusting material was hired to photograph children in a school. That is insane. And then in 2019, a school photographer for working for a different company in Florida was arrested after allegations of inappropriate behavior

during photo sessions. And these cases are disgusting, and of course they made local news and then just disappeared. Because these isolated incidents don't become national stories and because we've been trained to kind of see them as, you know, one-off crazy things, you know, it's like, ah, it's a bad apple, right? But how many incidents don't result in arrest?

How many situations never get reported because a kid didn't know what was going on or know that the, you know, behavior was inappropriate? What's up, people? We're going to take a break really quick because I want to tell you about a sponsor we have that I'm so stoked about. Yes, it's Chubbies. If you never heard of Chubbies, I've been wearing these since legit, like, late high school. Yeah, I'm so stoked. I started this podcast because I wanted a deep dive on crazy stuff in history and just, you know, random wormholes that I got into on the internet. And now I'm working with a brand that I've literally worn for 10 years. Because Chubby's one of those brands that you put on and you go, oh, this is comfortable. They're like the OG. like I'm going to the beach, I'm chilling on the boat, I'm walking through Soho in the summertime shorts. I mean, they are the best. Their stuff is super breathable. I mean, the stretch is like OG. They're like one of the first ones that start of that. I mean, you can actually move, you can sit, like you can exist without just being absolutely swamped. And they don't just do

shorts. They got everything. I mean, they got polos, they got sweaters. They got anything you can imagine. And it's all that wrinkle resistant, quick-drying, anti-microbial greatness that basically makes all their stuff, you know, the most, basically the mix between like, I'm the most comfortable I've ever been. I could go to sleep right now, but also I'm a functioning adult that looks amazing while I'm at work. And great news, this is the 15 year anniversary and they're bringing back the originals. These are literally the shorts that started the entire thing. Same iconic fit, the same in-seam options. And that same energy like, you know, I'm just going to pull up and, you know, crack a brew on a Friday, that type of vibe. So whether you are

week-ending, weekdaying, going to the beach, barbecue, or just living your life, Chubbies has you covered.

The shorts are truly amazing and you're getting 20% off. What are you waiting for? go check them out. Now, let's get back to the show. Now, there's another issue that I think is

actually more pressing and potentially even more problematic, if you can believe that. And that is the issue of data. When Life Touch photographs your kid, they're not just capturing one image. They're creating a data profile that includes your kid's name and their school and the grade level and the teacher's name and a high-resolution photo of their face, often with multiple different photos and their home address for mailing purposes. And some schools are also sharing dates of birth and other identifying information as a part of the admin process. And all of that data is stored for life touch. It's stored by them on their servers and for how long and under what type of security and with what restrictions of what can be shared and when and how and what can be

sold. These are questions that most parents never even think because school of photography has just always been there and it seems fine, right? Like they send you something in the middle. Like it's whatever. But we live in a different world. This is a world of data and data harvesting. And in the age of facial recognition technology, a database containing high-quality photos of millions upon millions of kids over the years tagged with their names and the locations and personal information, it represents something unprecedented. And sure, like maybe this is paranoia or whatever, but there's also a real thing here. And this is the reality of how modern data systems work and how they're increasingly becoming integrated with artificial intelligence and biometric identification tools.

Now, Shutterfly, who owns LifeTouch, has already been involved in facial recognition. controversies. So in 2021, the company faced a class action lawsuit in Illinois over allegations that their photo apps were scanning and storing users facial geometry without consent in violation with the state's Biometric Information and Privacy Act. Now, the case was eventually settled and you know, it was taken care of, you could say, but it raised serious questions about how the company treats biometric data and whether the millions of children's faces in their database are subject to these same practices. Now, to... To be clear, the lawsuit that I just mentioned was against Shutterfly, not against LifeTouch.

Shutterfly is the parent company that owns LifeTouch, but LifeTouch had never gone through this biometric lawsuit. Additionally, we have no evidence to suggest that LifeTouch is actually selling this data to third parties. And as a matter of fact, they put out a statement in relation to this massive scandal saying that when LifeTouch photographers take your students' pictures, that images safeguarded for families and schools only. LifeTouch does not and has never provided images to any.

third party. Life Touch images are shared only for the purpose of school records and to allow parents to purchase them. Additionally, as a part of our decade-long relationship with the National Center for Missing Exploited Children, LifeTouch prints, smile, safe cards free of charge for each student that we photograph that families can use with law enforcement if a child has gone missing. LifeTouch follows at all applicable federal state and local privacy laws, including the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act. In fact, Life Touch was the first school photography company to sign voluntary, enforceable privacy pledge, reaffirming our deep commitment to protect school communities. So that comes from their own PR. They say that they've never sold or given any of this data

to a third party. Now, we hope that that's true. But is it possible that when you are siding these kinds of things with the fine print and you're looking at the terms of service and you don't actually go through the whole thing, you know, with maybe not with life touch, but with other companies, you're often consenting to, you know, some type of photography or some other type of service without understanding the full scope of what you're agreeing to. Data retention policies, data sharing agreements, security protocols. These details are often buried in the terms of service that most parents never see. And in an era, when data breaches happen constantly, right?

I mean, even if they don't sell it, it's possible these things get hacked. And when children's personal information is particularly valuable to bad actors, and when companies routinely discover that their own privacy policies weren't being followed, these aren't hypothetical concerns. They are the reality of how our modern information ecosystem works. And children's data is obviously, it's a possible. part of that ecosystem, whether we've thought about it or not. Now, it's possible that there's nothing really here. The life touch is just a normal company that hides all the data and keeps it all

very safe and secure and that it's never going to get breached and everything's fine. Sure, but it should be asked. I think the question should be, you know, brought up, right? And I think we should shone a light on these types of institutions because this is where this type of corruption could occur. I mean, again, Jeffrey Epstein was able to go undetected for so long because he basically became a part of this institutional sort of figurehead. And these types of things typically have this type of pattern, right? And just in lieu of the Epstein situation, I think we should take a look at all of these types of institutions that potentially have access to our kids and our kids' data. So, I mean, typically these institutional abuse cases have a pretty clear sort of structure.

First, there's a presentation as trustworthy, right? And oftentimes institutional abusers will do that. And then second, you align yourself with other respected institutions. You get hired, you get appointed, you get contracts. And then third, you use that institutional legitimacy to gain trust. So once you're inside the system, you inherit the trust of the people that basically, you know, hold up the system itself and put you in that place. And then fourth, you exploit that access. The same institutional structure that gives you legitimacy also will give you cover. I mean, this is what happened with, you know, the Catholic Church scandal. And you had priests that are given this institutional legitimacy that now have this unredacted action. And access to so many kids that then were abused, and the Boy Scouts of America and teachers across the country, and different organizations will be exploited by bad people in order to carry this out. And LifeTouch is another one of those, which is why I think a lot of people have brought up this company specifically in relation to the Epstein Files. Now, the other reason that this whole LifeTouch thing has become such a massive story is because of the people that are casually involved. So this company LifeTouch that photographs millions of children across the country and has been doing so for decades is owned by a company called Apollo Global Management.

It is one of the largest private equity firms in the world. And Apollo acquired Shutterfly, LifeTouch's parent company in September of 2019 for $2.7 billion. So you have LifeTouch here, Shutterfly owns that, and then Apollo Global Management owns that. Now, who co-founded Apollo Global Management? that is a man named Leon Black. Now, just to be very careful here, this is what is documented versus what is alleged, and I'll be very clear about both. What is confirmed in document is that Leon Black co-founded Apollo management in 1990, and he served as a company's CEO for decades. And then in 2019, while Black was still the CEO, Apollo acquired Shuttle Fly, who owned

Life Touch. And that is a very undisputed chain of ownership. What is also confirmed in document is that Leon Black had a longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. How long, according to an independent review commissioned by Apollo itself, not by prosecutors or journalists, but by Apollo's own board, Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein approximately $158 million between 2012 and 2017, and this payment, or rather these payments, were allegedly for tax advice and estate planning services. That is what Leon Black's attorneys have claimed. Now, he wasn't a casual acquaintance, typically speaking. I mean, that's not how I would call him. classified. In 1997, Black made Epstein one of the original trustees of his family foundation.

According to the investigative reporting, Black contributed a handwritten poem to Epstein's 50th birthday album in 2003, an album compiled by Galane Maxwell herself that included lines about Epstein's relationships with women spread out geographically. The poem was signed, Love and Kisses Leon. Doesn't seem like a super casual relationship to me. This seems like they were, you know, pretty friendly, needless to say. And in 2021, following the release of the independent review and mounting public pressure, Leon Black stepped down as CEO and later as chairman of Apollo Global Management, and he stated that he deeply regrets his relationship with Epstein,

and his attorneys have said multiple times that he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's misconduct or crimes. Now, what is alleged but not proven is that multiple women have filed lawsuits against Leon Black of sexual misconduct. One lawsuit alleged a black sexually abused woman at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan Townhouse, another allegation was that he sexually abused a 16-year-old girl with disabilities at Epstein's residence. Again, these are only allegations, and Black has denied all of them saying that they are frivolous, and some of these lawsuits have been dismissed or discontinued. And as of this recording, no criminal charges have been filed against Leon Black. What's up, guys? We're going to take a break really quick because I just want to state the obvious. You're not going to hire a chiropractor to do brain surgery.

And if you're going to go fight in the Octagon, you wouldn't hire a guy that watches a – a lot of UFC. And if you have a personal injury case, you're not going to just like hire your buddy that's good with contracts. Because you know that when you're hurt, it's because someone else was negligent. You don't want just, you know, lawyery vibes. You want real lawyers. And that's where Morgan & Morgan comes in. They are America's largest injury law firm with over 100 offices nationwide and more than 1,000 lawyers. Crazy thing, they've recovered over $30 billion for over 500,000 clients. They've got a real track record of fighting to get people full and fair compensation. So if you are ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan and their fee is free unless they

win. Yes, free. You literally don't pay anything unless they win your case. That's how confident Morgan and Morgan is that they can get compensation for you and your injuries. So for more information, go to for the people.com slash gaggonon. That is F-O-R-the-people.com slash G-A-G-N-O-N-O-N or dial pound law. That is pound 529 and let them know that you got sent by the people here at the campsite. Also, this is a paid advertisement. Now let's get back to the show. In 2023,

Leon Black paid $62 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to be released from civil claims related to Jeffrey Epstein. A settlement is not an admission of guilt, but it is a very large sum of money to pay in order to have these problems just stop. And as

recently as July of 2025, Senator Ron Wyden called on the IRS to investigate potential tax evasion related to the payments that Leon Black made to Epstein. And that investigation as far as we know is still ongoing. So here's the picture, right? The company that is access to the photographs of millions of American kids and their names and their schools and their faces owned by a private equity firm whose co-founder had a documented decades-long financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and paid him over $150 million

and has been accused, although not convicted, of serious misconduct at Epstein's own residences. Now, does that mean LifeTouch is doing anything wrong? Obviously not, okay? There is no evidence that LifeTouch's operations have been affected in any way by the Epstein connection or that Leon Black had any type of direct access to the data that LifeTouch owned. Leon Black stepped down from Apollo in 2021. Shutterfly and LifeTouch operate as separate business units within their own management. But when we talk about this institutional access, when we talk about who has access to children and why we should be asking these questions, this is exactly the kind of connection that I think matters.

Because first off, the whole point is to prevent powerful people from using institutional frameworks to gain access and avoid accountability. And secondly, this shows it's just how far of reach people like Epstein have in areas all over the country in the world that we probably wouldn't have expected. You probably don't think that, oh, Epstein has a direct connection to the guy that basically owns all the photos of every kid in America. But it's technically true, or at least allegedly true. Now, the lesson here is that any system that provides access to children needs to be examined and needs to be scrutinized and its personnel need to be held with reliable accountability, not just trusted by default.

And this isn't, again, about paranoia. It's about seeing predators behind, you know, these cameras that could be potentially using this as cover to exploit a potentially vulnerable system. And it's happened many times before in different institutions, whether it's, you know, Boy Scouts, Catholic Church, whatever. It could happen again, and this is one of those situations that maybe people should be looking at. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a sort of brief overview of the life-touch scandal and what is actually going on and why so many schools are canceling their picture days with this company. I mean, it's interesting. It raises a question to me. I mean, obviously, these companies that have access to kids need to be vetted, and the people that are actually interfacing with these kids need to go through a very, very deliberate. and thorough background check

to make sure that they have no prior convictions, no prior misconducts reports with anything related to, I mean, really any crime, to be honest. If you're talking to my kid, like, don't go to jail for anything. Like if you're being brought in by the school, you know what I mean?

So I think that's obvious. The data part is the most interesting thing to me because it's like, what could a company do with all of this access to data for years? Like you have pictures of a kid for every single year for 12 years and you have minimal, millions of these photos, then you could just upload to an LLM or some type of AI model that then could

I don't even know what they could do. I mean, I'm sure it's great training data at the very least, and that data is probably really valuable to show an LLM like, hey, here's how humans develop, and here's the same human over 12 years developing, and, you know, what kind of inferences can you make based off of, you know, human development, things like that. Do you think that's part of like how they take a picture of a kid and they go, they were missing for five years, this is what they would look like now? Well, I think there is the science behind that of like human genetics to understand what a genetically developmental child would, you know,

turn into. Obviously, I think AI is contributing to that. But again, I don't think there's any data to suggest that life touches the one that's given that information out. But it would be valuable. And I could see a company trying to pay a lot of money and I could see a greedy corporation being like, oh, wait, how much money can we make for this data that we're just sitting on? You know what I mean? that's the part that I get worried about because it's like, you know, I think that we are just living in a system where the interests and the incentive structure points people into doing bad things. Like, I don't think, you know, you have a person at the top of one of these companies that's like, oh, we're going to exploit kids. It's just like, hey, we have all of this data sitting on hard drives.

The hard drives costs money. We have a business to run. And some other company is going to offer us hundreds of millions of dollars just to get access to this data. like we need to show, you know, more profit this quarter than the past quarter. We need to show that we're, you know, growing. I'm the new CEO. I'm stressed. I'm going to get fired. So, yeah, let's just give them some of this data.

Maybe not all of it. Maybe we do some of it, da-da-da. And then that just becomes a slippery slope where eventually you're giving away all this data of people's kids without their consent. And, I mean, I don't even post pictures of my kid on the internet at all. Like, there's no photos of my child on the internet in any capacity. So it's like, you know, I'm very strong. with that just because like I don't need it out there and also like my kid didn't consent to being

on the internet you know what I mean I'm like I try to respect my kid's autonomy where it's like this is a photo that like I want to show my parents but I don't need to blast it on the internet for other people to see just so I can like get likes off of it like that that always was weird to me I mean I get if you're not in the public eye and you don't have an audience of you know people that are like you know commenting and stuff on the internet then maybe it's not as bad but for me on a personal basis I just don't like it so I would feel weird if my kid went to school and then had his information getting sent around sold to other companies. Again, not the life touch of doing that, but that possibility is there. And then, of course,

a data breach. Some hacker group gets in there and is able to access all these files. Like, who knows what they could do, whether it's like deep fake AI, like whatever. It's like, it's like all very dark and nefarious. And the fact that the guy that owned and co-founded the, you know, the hedge fund or the VC, the fact that, or the private equity group, sorry. The fact that he, he's, he's, he, he's, he, he He was boys with Epstein. It's just crazy. Like, just what an absolute insane thing. And beg allegedly, no connection between the two in this situation specifically.

No, but Epstein and Leon Black were friends. Right. And, you know, again, not alleging that Life Touch and Epstein ever had any connection that Epstein even knew what Life Touch was. But the fact that they were friends is just a crazy ripple that like, yeah, dude, like this company that has access to kids data and the most notorious, you know, sex trafficker in America have relationship.

Maybe it's like, yeah, it's just coincidence, but it's just weird to me. You know, that's the only thing I'm thinking. But who knows? Chris knows, what are your thoughts? I think ultimately, I have a niece and every year we just look forward to getting the school of pictures.

They're so cute. Yeah. They're so nice. So it's maybe there's a better way to do it. I don't know. Maybe schools can do it in-house. Like, there must be a way. Like, cameras are cheap enough now.

Or a freelance photographer videographer that works for a certain podcast. I could do that too. Yeah, it's possible. I don't know, Chris. I wouldn't let you near school. But it's just one of those things. Like you need, yeah, I don't know. I wonder if there's a way to do it.

Like maybe like, hey, all the files get deleted. Hey, like these get printed and then the hard drive is like given to the school. It never goes off site. Something like that. I don't know. There must be a way. Maybe Life Judge is working on that now. And maybe there's some.

some good that comes from all this bad, you know? But what do you guys think? Please drop a comment. If you know anything about this life touch situation that we didn't cover, please, I'd love to know what you think. If there's anything we missed, anything we got wrong, please drop a comment. I read all of them, YouTube and Spotify. If you have a funny joke, please drop that in there too because I like to laugh, all right? Also, if you like history deep dives, great news, we have history camp. If you like religion deep dives, we've got religion camp. And if you just like chilling with us here in the tent for Camp Gagnon going on some crazy conspiracy wormholes, great news for you. We do these every single week. So drop a comment and yeah, I'll see you guys next time. God bless you.

Peace.
