The food industry needs to be regulated. I just don't know if RFK is the guy for the job. I, you know, if he can get some of these chemicals out of food, I will applaud him. Make America healthy again. Dear Mr. Kennedy, please make pizza healthy. Thank you. And it's just so funny now that there's this kind of like weird, kind of jacked old man talking about it, that everyone's like, hell yeah, brother. They have people who are like sound engineers.

I remember reading that Cheetos spent years perfecting the cooking. crunch of the Cheetah. They had to get it just right. So that it wasn't too crunchy, but it wasn't too soft either. Do you know what's crunchy? A dang carrot. Shut up. You ever heard that crunch? Shut up. You know who perfected the crunch of a carrot? God. God. Oh dear. I'm looking down tired with baby on me. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Ben and Emile show. We've got a great show for you today.

We're going to be talking all about RFK Jr. And whether or not he's going to make you drink poison or something. Is he going to kill everybody? We're going to talk about what he's done to the pharma stocks. Yeah. What he's going to do to your food? What he's going to do to your food? Is he going to force you to, you know,

I'm scared to say the V word because... Viagra. Is he going to let us take it anymore? Because this website... These soft boys? We need to harden up. We need it tough enough. Let's see.

What else do we have in this episode? Good times. Leave to soft men and... Soft men harden up and bang their significant others. And let's see. Also, we're talking about the onion, buying Info Wars, which is very funny. And one of the funniest moves. And finally some good news.

Some finally good news. Cartharsis. Mm. Yom. And also, hey, just a quick heads up. We have a new show that we are doing in conjunction with this show. It is every Friday at 1.30 Pacific Standard Time. We live stream every Friday.

It doesn't exist on this channel, though. You've got to go follow stock twits. You can follow them on X. You can follow them on YouTube. Please do that. Please support this new show. It's really fun. It is very fun. It's all live.

If you like us, you like live stuff. And you can go watch last weeks. Yeah, you can go watch last week's. The first one, the inaugural episode. Yeah, the inaugural episode. And also, in case you didn't notice, we finally got some respectful suits because we posted the video. We read the comments. And we got bullied into changing.

We got bullied into changing. So we went out, we bought suits. And we made a video. And if you haven't seen it, you should go check it out. And we thought we'd read a couple of our favorite comments thus far. Let's read it. a couple, shall we? Here's my favorite.

It comes from Max Zaf Farana, 8989, which says, why they walk like that. This one makes me feel better because there was a couple that were just about me and it feels like it was targeted at me. I don't, I went and watched it back and I was like, do I walk weird?

Yeah, I guess, I don't. He said they, so maybe we both walk weird. Maybe we both walk weird. Also, maybe you guys aren't, I've never paid attention to how someone walks. Really? Wow, what's it like to be perfect? Have you? I mean, sure, if someone walks funny. Pigeantote or something? Maybe I walk weird. I don't know. It's so a horrible way to find out I walk weird. I don't think you

walk weird. I do have a lot of back pain. Maybe it's that. Back pain? Yeah. He's got a headache, by the way, folks. So be patient with him in case he slurs or anything or says a slur. I got another migraine. I don't know what's going on. I don't have to go to the doctor or something. This Chase Houser said, Ben in that pinstripe suit is giving the great mouse detective. And I had to Google that. And I guess kind of. I guess. I was giving it something. And then there was one more. Let's read that last one. I've been giving my money to these schmucks for nine months, and they've spent it on a banana-colored suit. How dare you?

We've just been having a lot of fun reading all these comments today. It's been a real riot, and now we look good, so you guys have to be nice to us from here on out. And we've got a little variety. We're not stuck with the same suits. Stay tuned for different kinds of suits. Yeah, that's right. It's going to be very exciting. Then go check out the video to see how we got these suits. Ben and Emile Show.com is where you want to go to sign up for not only the bonus episodes

but we also posted a longer version of this suit video on there just for subscribers only and also Is that live already? No. I don't know that was that's you. No, no, we'll talk about it. Yeah, he's got to do it. Emile's got to do it. That's his job. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,

PO box, the PO box address is on there. We're going to be doing our very first mail opening next week and we'll be doing them once a month. So be sure to send in your mail. Please don't send us anything gross. Please don't send us like poop or a pee or a full diaper. I feel like you're putting things. I just feel like people... No one out there, no one out there was like,

I'm going to send them poop or pee. You don't know, man. Some of these people, you know, we joke around about these things and I can see them being like, they're going to think this is so funny. You give them ideas. Just send normal things, please.

No poison. No poop or pee. Like I said. Poison would be really annoying. Yeah, poison would be more annoying than pooper pee. Poison would be annoying. If you make us like food... On things we don't want, it goes,

Poison. poop, pee. And then like hair, I guess. I was thinking like... I'd be fine hair. I'd open it and go... I don't want hair. I don't want it.

Yeah. But when you're talking poop, poison pee? Yeah. I'm going, okay. If I open four boxes, right? Yeah. And the first one was poison. Yeah.

The next one was pee. The next one was poop. And the last one's hair, I'm going, oh, thank God. It's just hair. Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Yeah. But, you know, okay. All right.

So, fair enough. Just be reasonable. Send hair. What we're saying? Be reasonable in what you send us. What we're saying is send hair. Yeah. Send hair.

If you're going to send anything disgusting, just do hair. But also don't sit here. All right, I'd like to move on now. Oh, geez. How's that a headache, brother? It's feeling better now. They'd say, you know, laughter really is the best medicine. Lapture is the best medicine.

Ain't that the truth, brother? I have a funny story. That's why I got Patch Adams loaded up for after this. I've got a funny story that I'll save for the bonus, because we got to get into the business, all right? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Everybody's freaking out, right? Well, this is going to continue to happen.

It's going to continue. The markets, I feel like we were talking about this before the election. We were talking about who, you know, Wall Street would prefer. And it, I was saying, I feel like they prefer Kamala and the Democrats just because they want stability and to know what to expect. And it pleases our corporate overlord. Sure. Trump is broadly friendly to business.

But you never know what the guy is going to do. You never know what he's going to say or do next. And Robert F. Kennedy is a perfect example. Yeah. So. Well, I would say you also don't know what he's going to do. Right. I was hoping to kind of, because, you know, we here at the Ben and Emile show pride ourselves on seeking the truth.

And this is what we pride ourselves on? This is me. I'm prepping for my future in politics. I'm doing the thumb point instead of the point because that's, you know what, fuck. I'm bringing the point back. You should be able to point in politics and not just do this impotent, dumb thing. Let the people know you're blaming them.

I'm blaming you. I am a big pointer. And a big blamer. I went to an NHL, a Kings game on a Friday night, yeah. And there was someone across the way and the people I was with, I was like, hey, look at those people over there. I pointed. And I was like, I shouldn't be doing this.

But then I thought, who gives it shit? Who cares? Those people, wherever they look? Yeah, you. You got a weird thing. if they if they're over there i'm gonna be pointing but anyway i just uh going on piggybacking off of when we went live after the election i just want to mitigate some of the panic that i know some people are feeling um everybody thinks that rfk is like this he's definitely like fucked up

because i mean don't get me wrong folks because i went through his wikipedia page and the the first big group of stuff is very noble impressive. And then you get to the stuff of this first wife and you're like, what? Well, no, he's got an entire section called Treatment of Dead Animals. Like, that's not, you know. No, it's become very clear. RFC is

like a big group of things and you're like, it's a whole bundle of, sometimes you're like, that seems good. And then a whole another bundle of like, Jesus Christ, that's fucking insane. Yeah, like, what? But I do think, he reminds me of me

in that way. Or how I think people perceive me on this show. I think regardless of some of the good things that might be lumped into that, I do think he's particularly dangerous when you look at some of this bad stuff. And yeah, the vaccine stuff especially. Yeah. So we'll get to that. So, yeah, RFK Jr. was nominated by Donald Trump to be the head of health and human services.

Health and human services. Which if confirmed, because that's the thing, he still needs to be confirmed. So everybody, just take a breath. But if he's confirmed, he would oversee 13 divisions and 80,000, over 80,000 employees, which includes the FDA, the NIH, and the CDC. And, yeah, so what do these agencies do? They set standards. They set standards and policies that state and local and even sometimes international agencies use and follow.

They give the guidelines, and it's up to state and local authorities to then adjust accordingly. They can follow to the letter of the law, not the letter of the law, but they can follow 100%, they can follow half. It's up to them. They also, the head of the HHS also oversees public health threats and medical research and the operation, I didn't know this, of the ACA, the Medicare and Medicaid. Affordable Care Act. Affordable Care Act, yeah. And you know, I don't know if you saw just a quick little caveat. Remember a couple weeks ago, I said that I think something Chinese is coming. Yeah, what was it? Well, this isn't Chinese, but that's just a, that's just a nod.

It was just a nod to COVID and the possibility of there being another pandemic. And we finally, as you know, I've been following bird flu, H5N1 for the past year. I wouldn't say that I know you've been following bird flu. Really? Oh, I thought that I've mentioned it all. on here. It is... It's not something, when I think Ben, I'm not like following bird flu. No, sure. But I've mentioned it on here as being like the next, I thought that I have at least, I've mentioned it as being the next big pandemic. And this isn't an original thought. There's an entire subreddit. And you think RFK's got his finger on the post? No, I think that we are setting ourselves up for a perfect storm of, like I said before, government distrust that's going to set us up for utter the total wrong response to another pandemic.

You don't think RFK overseeing the CDC is going to be good for the next pandemic? It remains to be seen, but I'm going to go ahead and say probably not. And the way things are going right now, I've been following H5N1, huge shout out to Kate, my friend of the show. We have been, we're always swapping headlines about this thing. Ben's got an H1N1 group chat. H5N1. Excuse me.

And I follow the H5N1 subreddit. It has, it made its way. That's going to be good for your mental health. Well, it's just good to be... It's good to be informed. It's good to stay informed. And it started out as like, okay, it's highly transmissible and potentially deadly, but it was always like, okay, but it hasn't made its way to humans yet. It hasn't mutated.

But recently, there have been a couple human infections. I think just today I saw the headline that a child, a human child. Just a baby. A human child. possibly infected with H5N1 without animal contact. That suggests that it has mutated. It's out there, folks. I'm just saying...

Remember when he was talking about how he was going to make everyone feel calm and... This is... But this is exactly how I felt in 2019. End of 2019, I was like, there's this Chinese virus out there and nobody knows about it. Why isn't anybody talking about this Chinese virus?

This Wuhan virus. And then it didn't take... It took until fucking February. of the next year that the market crashed and everything finally caught on. So it takes time. I'm just saying...

Just give it time. You'll be stuck in your house again very soon. Don't worry. And you don't have to worry about toilet paper if you just would get a fucking bidet like I said. Hey, gang, we want to take a quick break

to thank a sponsor of today's show. It is Moomoo. Moomoo. We know it. You know it. We love it. You should love it. You got to get on

If you're not on Moomoo. You got to get on Moomoo. It's my favorite investing and trading app. Why? Because it's got everything that you could possibly need all the tools and tricks of the trade, all in one handy dandy little app, all wrapped up nice and neat with a bow on top. All right? Some of my favorite features, I mean, first and foremost, you get those commission-free trades on U.S. equities and ETFs. I mean, that's just about as good as it gets.

Stocks, options, ETFs with zero commission. minimum deposit requirement for that. And then the other big thing I like is the news. You get a lot of news. You can pay for news elsewhere, but why are you going to do that when you can get it all in Moomu? You can pay for tools elsewhere. Why are you going to do that when you can get it on Moomu?

You get tools, you get unusual options flow scanners on there, which I use sometimes. And yeah. So if that ain't enticing enough, my confidant here, my friend and co-host, co-captain of this program is going to tell you a little bit about the bonus offer that you get. How about a little bit of a welcome bonus for all my guys and gals out there, huh? Give it to them. Number one, you got the 8.1% APY cash sweep, all right? You enroll and you're getting 8.1% APY for three months on uninvested cash.

How do you like that? Number two, you know, this is my favorite one. My favorite two. Up to 15 free stocks. You deposit $100, you get five free stocks. Oh my gosh. Deposit $1,000. What do you get?

10 additional free stocks. For a total of 15? That's a lot. Oh, my God. Lastly, the transfer in bonus, all right? You get a 1.5% cash reward on your initial transfer amount up to $300. Woo. That's huge.

So, folks, what are you waiting for? I don't know what you're waiting for, but why don't you go ahead and check that link in the description and sign up for Mumu today. Well, should we talk about what the stocks did first before we get it? Yeah, yeah. Sure. The biotech ETF? Yeah. Yeah.

Can you just search XBI? Just type XBI. Because that's really why we're talking about it. He's had a real impact on... Do the five-day or the one month, rather. Yeah, look at that big old drop. This is the biotech, the S&P biotech ETF, and it's got a ton of biotech stocks in it.

And upon the announcement of RFK Jr. Being appointed to the head of the HHS, it dropped from about 105 to just above 90, like quite the big drop. Yeah, they're calling it a bloodbath, right? And you got Moderna in there,

Pfizer, Novo Nordisk, doing the Mako-Zempec, all these drugs, all these drug makers are gone, well, this, I don't know how I feel about this public health shake-up,

to be honest. Yeah. And that's what everybody's doing. They're speculating on just what an appointment of RFK would do to the, biotech industry. And I think it's a little bit of an overreaction.

But then... You think it's an overreaction? I think one of their big things is having someone in such a powerful position talking about vaccine skepticism and that kind of thing. Right. Well, we'll get to that because there's a, there is a limit to what he can actually do and also what he actually says he would do. But so like, let's start with this tweet of his, right?

He says, uh, FD... Shit. FDA's war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppress... Fuck, did I lose it? Am I doing well? Okay, thank you. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics,

peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins. I can't do it anymore. I can't do it today. I know, just read it. Clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals, and anything else that advances human health

and can't be patented by pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you. Preserve your records and pack your bags. So he's basically saying that the FDA has a long history of suppressing

suppressing our medicines, our natural medicines, psychedelics, stem cells, raw milk. He's also saying he's going to purge the staff of the FDA, pack your fucking back. It's time to go. Yeah.

So the thing is, even if he wanted to make... He also talks about... Which is another thing. All that... It's a very confusing thing. He wants to shake up the system, but he's also talking about regulation. So both things can't happen at once.

He cannot start, like, regulating the hell out of these companies. No. And also, like, completely shake up the system, fire everybody. There's protections in place for federal employees. But so that's another thing where it's, if he starts making a mess over there, that's going to slow down any kind of approval process for drug companies, all these, all these things. So even if it's not that they're worried about him talking crazy, making people worried about taking vaccines and stuff, there is a real possibility of it just being very confusing for them getting things to market. Right. And like even if you wanted to make sweeping changes, just top of mind, the, the, uh, floor. in the water is one that he has talked about and harped on. It's not like he could just snap his fingers and make that happen, but he would definitely have influence.

He could influence what states do. Again, the guidance that he would set regarding vaccines, fluoride in the water. And like we pointed out in that tweet, he's a big advocate for raw milk, fewer ingredients. I mean, Jesus, the raw milk is do what you want, I think. But, yeah, he's a big advocate for fewer ingredients and dies and all kinds of shit in food, which I think that's something that we can agree on. That's the thing. There's so much fucking shit

in there that it's like, even the New York Times did a thing, they've been covering the whole RFK thing and trying to debunk some of the stuff he says and what, they had a whole thing about what RFK Jr. gets right and wrong about nutrition. And even they are like, yeah, you know,

it starts with ultra-processed foods and they always, they break down his claim and then what the research suggests. And it's like, They're in total agreement that, you know, many public health and nutrition experts agree that ultra-processed foods, which make up an estimated 73% of the U.S. food supply, which is fucking insane, are probably contributing to the obesity crisis in the United States, and it would be beneficial to cut back on them. And they go into just all of it. Food dies. They're like, eh, there's a little bit there. Raw milk. That one, they're like, I don't think anyone should

be drinking raw milk. You could get very sick. The sugar stuff, they're like, yeah, all of our food should not be made up of high fructose oil in Europe. That's a really bad thing to do. And, you know, they just go, the seed oils is one where they're just like, I don't know what. Yeah. Part of the thing that he wants to do is end government subsidies for farmers who grow

things like soybeans and corn because they're incentivized to grow these things because of the subsidies. And that's how he's saying that that's why we have so much of it in our food supply because it becomes so cheap

to buy, and it is also subsidized to produce, that these companies are, I mean, they're really incentivized to use these things. That's why there's so much of it so prevalent in our food supply. And that's something that I can get behind. And then like even just piggybacking off of what the New York Times said, 2003, Gavin Newsom last year, signed a bill banning red dye number three, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, really tough year for bromated stuff. And propyl paraben by 2027. The thing that's so confusing for a lot of people about this is that this food regulation stuff

usually is taken up by Democrats. I think, I mean, if anyone's talking about it, it's Democrats, I don't know if they're actually delivering on that much. I guess Gavin Newsom got some of it done. But people are pointing out, too, Michelle Obama made this a huge issue getting the food. I remember.

I mean, we can... And the Republicans raised to stink because it was her... getting, budding into free enterprise or whatever. I'm going to send a little, it's only a minute long, but we can... Well, real fast, while you're sending that, I just want to touch on the fluoride thing. I, like, I mentioned this to my mom, and she's like, they put fluoride in the fucking water so you can keep your teeth strong. And I looked it up.

Apparently, the National Toxicology Department kind of agrees with them, with RFK, because he says that we should get rid of... The fluoride was added in the water in the 1950s to help strengthen teeth. And they say that there is some concern for pregnant women and children because they may be getting more fluoride than they need from because it's everywhere. It's in public water. It's in water that's added to food and drinks, toothpaste, floss. And they actually did recommend in 2015 to lower the amount in water, which I believe the government ended up doing. Anyway, yeah, let's see the thing about the food additives from. There was another person who, many years ago, tried to raise.

concerns about the health of the food that we feed our children and our families. And here's the reception that she received. When I heard this, I thought, get your damn hands off my fries, lady. If I want to be a fat, fat, fat, fatty and shovel French fries all day long, that is my choice. We're going to have, you know, the government finding us if we use salt. Coming up straight ahead, all this talk about the government taking salt away from you because it's so bad for you, but aren't there good things about salt? hate the government getting involved and telling me what to eat and not to eat.

Do you think the government should regulate the ingredients in the food we eat? Can't we make our own decision about whether or not we want to salt our food? All right, an Obama government obesity task force. Does every American family need a dietitian appointed by the government to tell them that this food is going to make you fat and this food is not? Man, I got to hand it to CNN because that's some good, uh, that's some good digging right there that they dug up. Hey, gang, we want to take another quick break to thank a sponsor today's show. It's very, very essential in today's crazy world of subscriptions tossing around. It's rocket money.

That's right. You know, I personally, at one point, I had way too many subscriptions. I mean, if you're anything like me, you open your credit card bill and you go, how? What am I spent on this money on? I didn't buy that much? I didn't buy that much stuff. Oh, yeah. It's all these stale old.

subscriptions and whatnot. I can't keep track of all the freaking subscriptions I've subscribed for. Yeah, it's terrible. And, you know, then I signed up for Rocket Money. I used it. I used our little handy-dandy code, Bays, and I got to save in. And it's remarkable. You just, you go on there, it's like magic.

You enter in your information, and Rocket Money will tell you all of the different things that you are subscribed to. And not only will it tell you that, but it'll even cancel those unwanted subscriptions for you. You see, it is a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions and monitors your spending and helps you lower your bills so you can grow your savings. It's pretty incredible. Join one of the over 5 million users that have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all the apps.

That's a lot of schmazzolas, you can say, $740. macaroonies can buy you a lot of cheddar, if you know what I'm saying. And look, it's not just that. It could help you create personal budgets with custom categories to help keep track of your spending. You can get alerts if bills increase in price. You can, there's goals features, helping you stay on track. It's unbelievable.

It'll help you, it's in the name, rocket your savings, you know? You'll rocket your money. You'll be saving from all these. Your money's going to rocket. Your all these things. Stop wasting money on things you don't use. your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash bays. That is rocketmoney.com slash bays. But yeah, so it's very, it's, it's strange to see, because there's, do we have

that tweet from the, what is it, the disrespected trucker? Yeah, it's, it's, it's strange to see it become a, a meme, or not even a meme, but a movement. Yeah, a movement that they're taking up. And it's just so funny now that there's this kind of like, weird, red, kind of jacked old man talking about it that everyone's like, hell yeah, brother.

It's just such a strange... He's got... But real fast, I just got a note, it is very funny to me that RFK just keeps obsessing over like fruit loops. He always uses fruit loops as an example as if it's just the essential staple

in American children's diets. And he's also got fucking sunblock on there. and that's the thing about these movements of like health things there's people out there who think that big sunblock is actually poisoning you with sunblock and that the sun is actually healthy

well they're working in tandem with the big skin cancer treatment it's a whole thing yeah talk to my brother who had stage 4 melanoma you absolute fucking dipshits yeah I got it from not wearing sunblock no from wearing too much

from wearing too much banana boat yeah I I love, so I love, this is from the Disrespected Truckers, Twitter, and I love his bio. It says, mandate freedom. Do not comply. Right, but that's what's so odd. Now it's like this thing, they've turned it around where now it's like, it's punk and you're, and you're doing, you're being free if you have RFK regulate the food industry. Yeah. You're not complying by having RFK make sure they can't put. die. Yeah, scroll down.

And butylated, whatever the fuck. Yeah, things will get better when we no longer have to look at this stupid motherfucker. P.S., crappy cereals and snacks are bad, no shit. And we remember how you hated Michelle Obama for doing this exact same thing. Scroll down. And the disrespected trucker just says, cry harder. Oh, my God.

Typical. Jesus, God. There's one. I wish I could do that. Yeah, slow down, slow down. Which one are you looking for? I love the cheese. It's one.

someone said something about cheese it someone was like if you come from my cheeses i'll fucking kill you there's obviously been a lot of people talking about how uh you know there was one very funny tweet about if he if he changes any of the formula to diet coke that they'll make january 6 look like a oh yeah i i would participate in that january 6 no no joke i mean to it to be up front i think you know i don't i stay away from all this stuff when you know that's that's that's holding up i think is disgusting you hold it over everybody's heads. I only eat fish. That's the only

meat that I eat. I rather, I don't eat meat. I'm healthy. Go on. Yeah, I do get made fun of all the time because when we go to the beach or whatever you guys, you want some Doritos? And I'm like, I'm actually all set on Doritos. Oh yeah, there we go. Fuck that. I'll go to where if you fuck with cheese. And then this disrespected trucker says you'll die of heart

disease or diabetes long before that. Oh my God. I think I don't care who does it, Michelle Obama or RFK Jr. I think they should. It's funny, they, you keep bringing up the fruit loops, but tricks, I remember, they felt the, you know, tricks with the rabbit, silly rabbit tricks. Yeah, I'm familiar with the serial known as tricks. And why are you getting so mad? I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

I'm not mad. Rick. Go on. Talk about tricks. But they, um, they were getting pushback for. having some of these weird dyes in their formula and all that. And they said, okay, we hear you. We're going to take them all out. And it ended up being a bit of a different color. Yeah. And they also

weren't allowed to keep them in the shapes of fruits. People were immediately like, turn it back. Put that shit back. I don't want to fucking see it. That pathetic color. I don't care if it makes my balls fill with microplastics. Give me red dye number six. Yeah. Yeah. I was listening to it. There's an interesting thing. The snack food industry is a lot more deep than we realize.

They even, they have people who are like sound engineers. The snack industry? Yes. Has sound engineers? Yes. Oh, for crunchiness? For like crunchiness, the sound of bags.

I don't know if you remember Sunships tried a new bag a few years ago that was like, the crinkle was too loud and they took them off the shelf. We're so stupid. It makes sense. We're so stupid. We are actually very simple creatures, and we are auditory, we are smell-oriented, we are taste and feel. There's a science to all the stuff. I mostly don't go to, you know, big grocery stores.

Of course you don't. I pretty much always go to Trader Joe's because it's cheap. And then occasionally I'll go to, you know, the... Lassons. Yeah, something like that. So I just don't even see the stuff a lot of times. I remember the last time I went on a group trip. We got there early, and we said, you know, let's go get a bunch of food before everyone gets here and we'll have stuff in the Airbnb.

We went to, I don't know, Kroger's or whatever. Walking through there is, it's crazy. I saw, I was taking so long because I just kept picking stuff up and showing my friends like, what is this? This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. I can't believe they sell this. There was, I remember, fruity pebbles syrup that you're supposed to put on your, can you Google it? It's like, fruity pebble syrup that you're supposed to put on pancakes? Yes.

Yeah, they're getting real inventive with all this shit now. And it's just like everything I passed by, I mean the, oh yeah, there it is. Twix got ice cream, things like that. That's disgusting. I know. That's just red syrup. Dude. Ugh.

Oh, and a fucking, is that Captain Crunch? Jeez. God. It's, that should be illegal. No, it shouldn't, man. That's America right there. That's America in a bottle. It's just high, for.

toast corn syrup. Yeah. And red dye. What is it? Skittles, sour Skittles drink? Look that one. Sour Skittles drink. Sour Skittles drink.

But there are, I mean, you walk through a grocery store and the things that have been concocted are just. Sour Skittles drink. This is. Get the fuck out of here with this sour skittles drink. I want it. Dang. What will they think of next? Wow.

There's a subreda called Tufels drink. fizz or not to fizz. Oh, man. All the ingredients. Oh, thank God. They've got some natural flavors. Filtered water, sugar, apple juice from concentrate. All right, get the hell out of here with this.

But there is a... In one of the New York Times articles about RFK, they do point out the U.S. food system under the FDA operates very differently than the food system in Europe, where chemicals tend to be subject to safety review before they enter the food. supply. In the United States, new ingredients regularly debut in food with no notice to the FDA or to the public. That's a problem.

Well, you know, we're not a perfect country. I'll just say that. That's for sure. But he's Norfolk. All that is to say, the food industry needs to be regulated. I just don't know if RFK is the guy for the job. You know, if he can get some of these chemicals out of food, I will applaud him.

But it's going to, it would make prices go up. That's for sure. And people love their snack foods. And if Cheetos had to change their fucking ingredients, it would make him very unpopular. It would make people, it would make him so unpopular. But that's fine. I mean, dude, some of the statistics in this country are Yeah, chronic disease is an epidemic. I think I just, uh, two thirds of the country are now either obese or overweight. Oh my God. Not us, huh, pal? Well, I guess that, um, gives us minority status now and we are minorities and we are therefore thereby oppressed we'd like people

to act according to yeah uh and on the max on the vaccine front he has explicitly said he's not going to take away vaccines he just says that he wants them to be more studied and transparent and give parents choices with more information about vaccines oh it always comes it always comes riding in on parent choice and then it's like all these people chose to send their kids to awful schools. Yeah.

Because yeah, it's currently like a rule at many schools that you can't enroll your child in public school unless they're inoculated for measles and polio and shit. I say bring it back. Bring polio back. I don't mean that. I mean, as long as we're talking about the

vaccine stuff, this is from... Be careful because we... This website, folks, by the way, they're very sensitive about this topic. We're not saying, don't think. I know, but that's, remember, we got that, uh, we had to go through and, this is from a doctor who worked with him in Samoa. In Samoa, there were two children that died immediately following receipt of a measles vaccine. And the way it works in Samoa is, they have a MMR vaccine in powdered form.

It needs to be diluted in water. Two nurses made a mistake. Instead of diluting it in water, they diluted it in a muscle relaxing. Those children stopped breathing and died immediately. Whoa. That's awful. Now, very quickly. very quickly within two weeks, it was realized what that mistake was. It was a nursing error. But nonetheless, RFK Jr. seized on that. He flooded Facebook with information that measles vaccine is killing children in Samoa. He went to Samoa. He met with anti-vaccine activists. He met with senior officials in Samoa and kept the drumbeat alive that measles vaccine was killing children in Samoa. As a consequence, vaccination rates fell from 70% to 30%. And between September

and December. In Samoa. Wow. Between September and December of 2019, there was a massive measles epidemic. In this island nation of 200,000 people, there were 57,000 cases of measles and 83 deaths. Oh my God. Most of these deaths were in children less than four years of age. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had everything to do with that. And that shows you how disinformation can kill.

I don't think... There you go, folks. RFK Jr. is equipped for this. He can't move past the, you know, like the correlation does not equal causation phase. He's just like, he sees something and he's like, it's the vaccines. They're killing everybody we, full stop. Everything needs to stop now. Yeah.

Okay. Hey gang. We've got to take a break one last time to thank. Before we don't even get into it, can I say you look great? That's because I feel great.

Bayes 20, 20% off. You can't beat it, folks. get out there look good yeah I just don't I don't think this is the guy for the yeah I mean I hope to God nothing like that were to happen here he's spotlighting

very serious problems in the American system those are all valid criticisms yeah especially like he talks about let's transition the environment for example he's talking about getting rid of chemicals and toxins in our food water and air

issue is we don't know which ones he's talking about that's a lot of thing here is there's so much that he believes in. I mean, take the, I mean, this goes back on the food thing. There are 40 million Americans who use food stamps and he wants to stop allowing people to use them

for things like soda and processed foods because that can lead to, he's like, why should they be using government money to that's been a right wing thing for a long time. I say, you know, if someone wants to use their food stamps to get a little Cheetos and get the Cheetos, man. I mean, that's just, come out, dude. Yeah.

Come on. And then, yeah, farm he wants to take on pesticides and crop subsidies that have led to increases in soybean and corn production. I thought it'd be interesting to talk a little bit about the FDA because he has said that the FDA is in the pocket of Big Pharma, which is partially true. And I did a little digging and I did a little learning about it. I didn't know a lot of this, shall we? Sure. Yeah. So the way the FDA works with the money is Congress sets the budget for the FDA every year.

And specifically, they also set the amount of user fees that the FDA can collect. For example, in 2022, 46% of the FDA's budget was user fees. So what are user fees? Camille. User fees are basically what companies pay the FDA when they produce products and devices and whatnot. Think of it like when you go to get a passport, you have to pay. You got to pay like whatever the processing, $130, $180. Same thing, but in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions for these companies.

And these user fees are authorized by, they're authorized by Congress to help the FDA fund their payroll and related costs to deliver on their goals of approving medicines, of monitoring after medicines and devices and stuff are approved. They're saying, hey, you want to do business here? You want to put your stuff out? Exactly. Well, we're going to have to approve it, make sure it's safe, so that costs money. Yes. And that money doesn't go to individuals within the FDA. It goes into accounts that the FDA can then use on things that Congress specifically allows, like I said, like monitoring research, manufacturing inspections, and so forth.

And RFK says that the CDC and the FDA are too closely aligned with pharma and food industries. And he's not wrong. He's very much not wrong. There is a lot of history. Yeah, but I don't think that's some kind of like groundbreaking... Of course. Analysis.

You can go into any governmental body and say you guys are too closely aligned with whatever business you're regulating. Right. And that's the thing is, as I was researching this... You can pick any random member of Congress and go, you're too close to the business that you're regulating.

They're... Some critics say that the FDA is over-regulated. They cite how it costs anywhere from $500 million to $2 billion to bring a new drug to market, which causes high drug prices because it has to be worth it for the companies to pursue treatments. And then there's also cases for it being under-regulated, overlooking risks and being slow to react, especially when it comes to removing approved drugs and treatments. Because sometimes they approve shit, and then it comes out that,

oh man, this thing that we totally missed actually kills people or gives them harder. There was a couple of examples. There was this thing called triglytazone. It was a diabetes drug that was available overseas when it was approved, but then post-market safety data showed that it led to liver

failure, and it was polled in the UK in 1997, and the FDA didn't act on it until 2000. Took them three fucking years. I feel like oftentimes it's not a, It's a case of them knowing and being like, oh, good enough. Right. That's the thing is there's kind of these gray areas where it's like, okay, you guys are sometimes doing too much and other times doing way little.

There's this other drug. I remember this. It was called Vioxx. It was a drug made by Merck. What is the case of them doing too much? Like stopping HIV. It's what the Dallas Byers Club was based on, where it was these treatments that were shown to be effective, but they just took. way too fucking long.

Here, scroll up. I think I had the, yeah, they took too long to approve AIDS and cancer treatments in the 80s and it cost thousands of lives per year, according to the chairman of a presidential advisory panel on drug approval in 1990.

But yeah, this Vioxx was a Merck drug that gave people a way higher risk of heart attack and was pulled only after Merck basically admitted to lying about certain data. Well, how else are you supposed to get it approved? You got to lie sometimes. So there was this... Well, if we told him it was going to

kill people. They wouldn't let us do it. There was a, and just to underscore some of this stuff, there was a scientist in the Office of Drug Safety testified to Congress that there is an inherent conflict of interest when the office responsible for post-approval monitoring of drug safety is controlled by the same organization, which initially approved those same drugs as being safe and effective. So within the same organization, you've got the ones who approve it and the ones who monitor it thereafter. And sometimes the ones who monitor it thereafter have to fly in the face of this other group that said, no, it is safe. They go, well, actually, we've discovered after the fact that it's not. And there's a conflict of interest there. Apparently, there was a 2006 survey

showed that one fifth of FDA scientists said that they've been asked to inappropriately exclude or alter technical information or their conclusions in an FDA scientific document. And that same scientists from the first thing about testifying to Congress about that conflict of interest said that the FDA is inherently biased in favor of the pharmaceutical industry, viewing them as its client whose interests it must represent and advance. Oh my God. Yeah, I always say, whenever they point this stuff out, they're pointing out the right things. There's a huge problem here. Right. Massive, massive problems. And also my new dandrofoam is. is way too expensive.

It's $980. Please, R.K. Throwing a third testicle because of it. Hear my cries. God, I hope not. I am nervous because it is this new thing and it's kind of too good to be true because it just works on

seboratech dermatitis and psoriasis and that third one. Exema? I don't know. So you're fucking medicine. I don't have eczema or psoriasis. I just have subricedermatitis. It's like people joking about

I just want to start taking ozempic so I can get, So I can get a fat check when they, when they inevitably do the, do the settlements. Well, what's wild is, Ozympic is, the semi-glutide is being hailed as, yeah, it's starting to be hailed as this miracle drug. Apparently, I mean, I was looking it up, because we were talking about this, this is probably over a year ago at this point. But yeah, when it was being tested, apparently some of the animals they were testing on were getting sexier. Yeah, and they were like, these animals are getting so hot. Dude, have you seen the tits on that monkey?

No, apparently some of the animals were getting thyroid cancers and things like that. And they're just, I mean, but, and then once it got released to the public, we covered some of the people who stomachs were being turned inside out. Yeah. No, semaglutide is not a miracle drug, but it can be effective for weight loss. Yeah. Ooh, it has side effects, including diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. We should get Elon Musk on this. He's on ozumic.

I can't wait until he just. He's talked about how he's on semi-glutides. Really? Yeah. Huh. Does it fix that barrel chest of his? No, I don't know what it is. Nothing can cure that.

But what's funny is, yeah, Trump's mandate to RFK is to reduce chronic diseases in two years. And I was reading some commentary from a professor of, I don't know, fucking nutrition and food science somewhere in California. and they were saying like that's an insane man you're not going to see any changes in two years these things take time and every person is different so like and the example they gave is you could have two people same age same body type same everything both have diabetes you give them both the same medication one their body reacts as it should and like the diabetes is handled or whatever and the other person could have a totally different adverse reaction and that just speaks to, that simple example just speaks to how complicated the entire world of the

pharmaceutical industry is. I mean, that's why you have all the side effects and shit and all these extensive studies. Yeah. I do think the food we eat is making people sick. Oh, it's total crap. It's fucking disgusting. Like it's a, I remember reading that Cheetos or Fritole, whoever makes Cheetos spent years perfecting the crunch of the Cheeto. They had to get it just right. They had to tweaked that shit just right so that it wasn't too crunchy, but it wasn't too soft either. You know what's crunchy? A dang carrot. Shut up. Shut up. You've ever heard that crunch? Shut up, you fucking granola eating nerd. You know what's orange and crunchy? What you go hike. You know what's orange and crunchy? What? Carrots. Well, apparently... Why don't you take a bite of a carrot?

Also, softer foods... You know who perfected the crunch of a carrot? God. God. God did. Unless you're like, you know what, God fucked up? This avocado tree on my street. man these little things are nature's reject they come out shaped like tiny little beans but they're avocados yeah they look fucked up that look like beans you've got my attention can you imagine just putting them away uh yeah man that's all the crunch you need yeah uh a nice pepper will crunch an apple celery um

celery bumps on a bumps on a log hands on a log hands on a log yeah that's getting a little less crunchy now

because you get some peanut butter little less crunchy more way and a little more pizza a little more pizza what what

well because they were they were I also in the same thing that I was listening to

today about all the stuff that goes into food production to make it the most addictive it can be. Apparently the softer foods are, the more you're able to eat because your body's like... Because you don't have to chew.

Because you don't have to do as much. So like a carrot, you chew one carrot. You got to chew a lot. You got to chew a lot. God made he was doing when he went crazy on the carrot. He did go nut, nut, nut, none on the carrot. God, you're crazy for this one. You crazy for this one, God.

Yeah, soft foods, which makes sense. immediately thought of pizza and how soft and gooey and delicious it is and man, RFK, if you can make pizza healthy, do it, dude. Please, hurry up. Make it all good. Make it all tasty. Or, like, healthy.

Make pizza great again. Make pizza healthy for me, please. Make America healthy again. Dear Mr. Kennedy, please make pizza healthy. Thank you. But yeah, it is just funny that his Wikipedia has that treatment of dead animals and his daughter

saying that she remembers how he sawed off a dead whale's head dude don't let the... You didn't see that? No. Yeah. His daughter who, I won't say. I know, I wish you would though. It's fun, isn't it? Isn't it fun? No, because I don't want that out there.

But she said that she distinctly remembers them being on like a road trip and they came across a dead whale that had washed up on shore and he took a, yeah, here it is. He wanted to saw the head off.

Yeah, let's see. It's in the first sentence. The historic claim that he once cut the head off a dead beached whale with a chainsaw to take it home on the roof of his vehicle. And I remember reading the quote from his daughter saying, yeah, people were honking. Yeah, here we go. The incident with the whale's head, which dates to around 1994, was recounted by Kathleen Kick Kennedy in a 2012 interview with...

The Kennedys are so fucked up. They're so fucked up. But they're great at the same time. Yeah, after her, like, grandmother or something. He went to the beach to cut off the head with a chainsaw. What were they doing with a chainsaw? They're Kennedys. They got whatever they were.

Yeah. And then proceeded to tie it to the roof of the family minivan with bungee cords. And she said, every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car. And it was just the rancest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out. and people on the highway were giving us the finger

but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us. I'll tell you what, keep this guy away from the slaughterhouse is the last thing we need is him reforming those. That was close. I almost knocked enough.

Make everyone do it with a chainsaw. God, I wonder what kind of whale it was. I remember being at the beach in Huntington in like 1999 in a, I want to say it was a sperm whale. I know you want to, I know you want to say that.

Well, because I know it wasn't a blue whale Or maybe it was. Maybe it was a blue whale. That's a huge whale. Slowly washed up on shore. How slow? Huntington Beach. It took like six hours because we were there for a bonfire. And we saw a bunch of birds snacking on the thing. And it just slowly was making his way.

We were like, what is that? And then we realized it was a dead whale. Got onto the beach. And you know what they do? They just bury it on the beach. What else are they going to do? What else are they going to do with it, Emil? Saw its head off, scrap it to a minivan?

I mean, it's a shame. was probably on the East Coast. Also, where do you... He could have taken care of it? Where do you draw the line on a whale's head? It doesn't exactly have like a distinct neck. It's like when they say, you know,

when they show you the picture of if a horse were to wear pants, which would... Oh, yeah, yeah. There's no way to tell. Oh, shit, yeah. Would it be on all four legs or just the back legs? Who's to say? I like the picture him on the back four.

I like... Back two. Back two, yeah. Excuse me. Like an idiot. Jesus. I had some Cheetos is starting. Yeah.

And they're messing with my brain chemistry. The best Cheetos are the ones, they're not jalapeno. They got a little green on the bag. It's like Cheetos with jalapeno or something. They just got a little bit of a kick. You like a little kick. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Yeah, those. Yeah, those. The ones on the left. Cheddar jalapeno, a two pack? Oh, 48. 48 pack of two ounce bags. Those things are the best.

They're the best thing ever. And I'm telling you, He better not visit... RFK better not visit Dallas if he changes the recipe to... Cheddar jalapeno Cheetos. Cheddar jalapeno Cheetos. Or peanut M&Ms.

Okay. Anyway, you want to talk about the onion? How about some good news, huh? Yeah. How about some good news? We all know and love the onion. We really do. I mean...

It's funny... People post screenshots of things they've... They did in like, like over a decade ago, you know, they'll post things that they're just always right. Oh, that the onion did. Yeah. Uh, yeah, yeah. They're so funny.

They're always right. I mean, and one of the things that is their most famous post that keeps getting posted, which we'll talk about for the shooting one. Yeah. No way to prevent this as only nation where this regularly happens. Yeah. That was in 2013. In response to Sandy Hook?

Yeah, and now they've posted it, I don't know, dozens of thousands of times. Of course. They posted every time there's a mass shooting. But they have gone and done the funniest thing, which... They've committed a mass shooting. I don't know if that would be the funniest thing. No, I wouldn't. That would be kind of the least funny thing.

Right. Kind of a terrifying thing. Okay. Wow. Wait a shit all over. Go on. Imagine that's what they did? No, I don't want to.

Alex Jones. Yeah. but in the wake of Sandy Hook Alex Jones was being Alex Jones being absolutely insane and crisis actors yeah started started saying that the shootings were hoaxes they weren't real

and they were all all those children were crisis actors as Ben said and it was all in this larger plan to I guess curry public opinion make people say we know we got to get rid of guns they're too dangerous I guess And it's, it's all this, this big plan to make sure we get guns taken away.

The family of these victims sued for defamation, sued Alex Jones, and they won. They got $1.4 billion in damages. That was the award. Obviously, this cook doesn't have $1.4 billion to make these families whole. So he's got a file for bankruptcy. long bankruptcy trial is it

chapter 7 total liquidation I think it's chapter 11 no I think 11 would be reorganization it must be chapter 7 because I think

yeah I think he's filing for like personal and the company just wants to be completely screened from

any of these liabilities so they put the whole thing up on the auction block yeah and the onion

has a new CEO this guy Ben Collins he used to work as a disinformation journalist for probably a decade before taking over because remember

the onion was in trouble for what? Like financially? Oh yeah, yeah, of course. And so now it's this whole thing. They've got new backing. They're restarting a lot of the things they were doing.

They restarted the print edition and are sending it to people's films. And he saw this going on. I listened to him talking about it because I was just so curious. He said in June when they saw it all going on, he made a joke being like,

wouldn't it be so? funny if we could do it. And then he was like, actually, from those days, I could, I have some contact with some of the families. And he reached out and was like, is this at all a possibility? And they reached a point where they were like, yeah, we're willing to take less money on this thing. And they just want him off the air. Yeah, they want him off the air. And I think there's obviously some poetic justice to a company like The Onion taking the same. thing over. I'm very curious what they're, he's very, he doesn't really want to come out and say what they're going to do with the company. He's not, he's not being completely forthcoming,

and I'm very curious what they're going to do. He did state that it's not going to be a completely different thing. The, he said, had a, had a Info Wars viewer come out of a coma and saw, what? I could just, yeah. They wouldn't know the difference. Well, he would say, oh, a bit of a different direction, but... Yeah. So I imagine they're trying to do... They're trying to play with it somehow and make it still, you know, still have that feel, but while...

And they said that they're relaunching in January. Yeah, January 2020. And they're having an exclusive ad partnership with the gun violence prevention group every town. Yeah, so that's the other thing. They got in contact with the Everytown USA guy, who is a big gun safe. organization, and they're going to be the exclusive advertiser of the new Info Wars. Damn. But it's all getting very confusing.

Alex Jones obviously freaked out and is saying that it's not happening, which I believe is a lie. Because according to Ben Collins, this is all going through. They're talking with the judge. They're proceeding as if they're going to be launching in two months. but it's getting very weird. There's the first United American companies, because you remember how Alex Jones

had all the supplements that he would sell? Oh, well, yeah, because this whole thing includes 400, over 400 domain names, social accounts, newsletter, sublists, trademarks, supplements, and their production studio in Austin. Yeah. And it's all under this American...

Yeah, well, they wanted them to step in. Gotcha. Alex Jones thought he was going to be saved. He also thinks Elon Musk was going to save him, which is another thing. Ex-lawyers have weirdly gotten involved and said this is all, but they won't comment on it. It's a very confusing thing. My fingers are crossed that this all goes through and the funniest thing. I wonder if Alex Jones is barred from doing any kind of, because what's to stop him from starting another?

Well, he's currently on the air. I mean, yeah, he's still doing shit under Info Wars scrambling to try to get people to donate and whatnot. Right. But I wonder if he's going to... And he's talking. I was told Elon is going to be very involved in this. He said during a live broadcast on X. After Info Wars was seized and the site shut down,

Jones promptly began operating under the name and branding of a new venture, dubbed the Alex Jones Network, which streams on X. Jones knows that lawyers for X were present at the hearing, adding somewhat mysteriously, the cavalry is here. Trump is pissed. shut the fuck up to me it's going to be my opinion that shut the fuck up to you Alex Jones you want to hear something funny you worked for Alex Jones no 2000s I think I might have shared this story before but I remember I worked obviously we all know that I worked at the crab

pot restaurant in Long Beach um in like 2005 2006 and I remember smoking a joint after a shift with this guy named Joe. He was a waiter and he was kind of a weirdo but seemed normal enough and we're smoking a joint and we're talking about radio shows that we like

and he's like oh dude you got to check out Info Wars Info Wars. Wait, what year do you think it was? Like 2006. 2006? You got to check out Info Wars.

This guy Alex Jones is so fucking awesome and he's like he does you know blah blah and I had already heard of him I just didn't know that it was called Info Wars

because I had watched loose change and I believed all of it, the 9-11 documentary. And I was also seeing Alex Jones doing his shit, man on the street stuff in Austin, Texas at the time. Well, because I do

think he was a way different vibe. I think he was maybe a little nuts. Yeah. But he was again, I mean, at the time, Bush was president. And he was very like, Bush is, sir. You know, Bush, he was like one of the originators of the whole Bush did 9-11 kind of thing. Yeah. And I think

our version of him is very much like, they're turning the frogs gay. but he that was like that was like late era Alex Jones all right when you get into vintage Alex Jones he actually had some points he was he was still just as swollen back then speaking truth to power yeah but anyway that guy Joe who told me about Alex Jones would go on to get arrested for impersonating dressing up as an impersonating police officer to uh assault multiple women Wait, what? He was dressing up as a police officer?

Dressed up as a police officer and sexually assaulted multiple women. Does it make it easier if you dressed up as a police officer? I think it was like, you're, you know, you're being, he was like either pulling them over, I don't know how he was being arrested.

But then he killed himself before he could see trial. That honestly was maybe a good move for Joe. Try Googling that real fast. Long Beach, Long Beach man, suicide, impersonating a police officer. So you're saying

that's the base audience of the type of guy who likes Info Wars is the man impersonating No I throw Yeah I was gonna say Kind of rough

Yeah Say wait go go back Let's let me see the Google thing And then just This one's so recent Type in suicide A Long Beach Oh yeah

Long Beach Oh my God Happen multiple times That's fucking Well it includes show results With, it click this show results with suicide. Oh, there it is. Second one, Joseph Raymond.

I think that might be him. He posted a million dollar bail. There he is. Holy crap. I smoked a joint with that guy. Dude, that is. That's wild. Man.

Oh, he, yeah, he sexually assaulted two prostitutes and attempted the third in Santa Ana. And I remember me and some of the other crab pop people when we found out about this, we're like, hey, remember Joe? You know what's wild? There's people out there that he served crab to. They have no idea. Because, you know, it can happen to anybody. You could be going to a red lobster and your waiter or waitress serves you your crab,

and they could go on to do monstrous things. And you just never, you would never know. There are people out there who have no idea that that guy served them. And he did great service. and they left him a great tip, and he went on to do that thing. I was about to say, that's why I don't tip.

Who knows what they got to do? Ah, man. Oh, we're just about at the end of this episode. Hopefully there's a ton of guys like Joe out there that the onion's about to change their mind about things. Maybe, maybe inadvertent. What? Don't do that to not do that.

Yeah, they're going to rejigger the whole algorithm. Let's see. What else did we? have on here anyway. We probably don't have time to do the whole thing. We might as well just get right into Mark Zuckerberg's... Mark Zuckerberg? Nobody loves their wife. This will be the... Yeah, this would be a nice

little feel good thing. Feel good? Yeah. Make me feel bad. Make me feel bad. It makes you feel bad that Mark Zuckerberg loves his wife this much? You know what made me feel really bad was the... I bet he fucks good, too. No, let's all just take a moment with that. You bet he fucks good. The white guy who loves his Asian wife probably absolutely plows her like a damn John Deere.

Give me more. He probably absolutely, I'm going to go Jesse Ventura with this. He probably plows his wife like a damn John Deere. Why? I don't know. He's white and she's Asian. They should investigate the origins of 9-11 and what the CIA and FBI knew beforehand. And also everybody knows that Mark Zuckerberg absolutely lays pipe in.

to his Asian wife. You know, he made a statue over in his backyard. And then he also teamed up with who's that rapper? Who's the rapper? Dupein. Tupe? Dupein. Tupane. T-pane.

T-pane. He, he, he, he partnered with T-Pain to make his, a song. Fucking his wife, plowing his wife wasn't enough. He also, he also made Porsche make a, make a custom car. for...

Jesus, God. I want to know what's going. We lost Jesse. All right. Should we play it? Are we even allowed to play? I want to watch...

I think we might get in trouble if we play the song, which you guys should... Maybe we'll do it in the bonus. We should do a... I made it a minute 30. It's three minutes and... You know, it's your classic pop song.

Three minutes, 35 seconds, something like that. It is a rough lesson. Really? Basically, when they met... I think they met in 2007, that's cool before he was anybody and

when they met that song was very popular which it's also he calls it get low but isn't it a different song isn't it low by flow rider I don't know I don't follow that kind of music Florida it's not by T-Pain

no it's low by Florida Featuring T-Pain is in it T-Pain all right well let's let's click the thing because there's a we'll scroll past his well actually here's his little post you know

click that he called it C-Pain Zuck Get Lowe was playing when I it was called Lowe This is on his Instagram account Get Lowe was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party so every year we listened to it

T-Pain Me? Yeah, T-Pain Hey, you guys want to go see T-Pain? No, but so if you scroll down He calls himself Z-Pain Scroll down, scroll down, scroll down Is that it right there on Spott-Wi?

No, no, let's watch the wife's reaction This was the part that kind of killed me The... Because it's sweet? No, I guess it's a little sweet. It's very cringy. Surprising my wife. This also might be the thing...

Zook. Yeah, I think rich people may be... If my significant other came to me with a song they created with T-Pain, I would be a little bit more... Jazzed man? A little bit more... Yeah, well, I mean, he's already done... That's the thing.

He's outdoing himself. Right. He can't possibly... What are you going to do? But she's just kind of like, uh-uh. Yeah. Oh, there goes. My Jewish white husband obsessed with me again.

I love you I love you wait can you go back on that that's I love you I love you I love you I love you the song also sounds that that was a very there was a weird genre of music of

kind of white musician with an acoustic doing an acoustic cover of maybe a rap song and it was supposed to be kind of funny. Yeah, yeah. Which was also very popular at that point. I haven't heard one of those in a very long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Marcy Playground.

Oh, no, no, who's the one who did the... Who's the one who did the... Oh, dropping down the street in my 6'4? The acoustic... I don't know, but that's a perfect example. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boy, oh boy. Yeah, I bet Mark Zuckerberg.

tastes like milk. Taste like what part of him? Yeah, I bet he tastes like milk. What part do you think, man? The mouth. I bet when his... I bet when his Asian wife is kissing him,

she's thinking, boy, he sure tastes like milk. Like even just on the lip? Even just on the lips. Not when they're kissing. When they're making love, he tastes like, uh, I don't know, more milk. More milk? Yeah. I bet that room smells crazy when they have...

Why? Why? Because it's Mark Zuckerberg. You think he smells weird? He probably smells great. I bet he smells like hot nuts and milk. Milk and honey? No, I said hot nuts, bub. Hot nuts. I said hot nuts. I honestly smell, if you're talking like New York, New York-style hot nuts. Yeah, that's true. Street nuts. Every time you walk by one of those cars, you go, God. God. God damn, man.
