This is an iHeart podcast.
This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler.
Maren Morris is here.
You came out of a marriage, you came out of quote unquote,
country music, and you had a huge growth spurt from what I can tell.
I was expanding and growing at a really fast pace.
And yes, you could throw motherhood and the postpartum thing,
learning about myself. There were a lot of identity crises going on, but I realized I
can't look back and slow down for people. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Camp Shane, one of America's longest-running weight loss camps for kids, promised extraordinary
results.
But there were some dark truths behind Camp Shane's facade of happy, transformed children.
Nothing about that camp was right.
It was really actually like a horror movie.
Enter Camp Shame, an eight-part series examining the rise and fall of Camp Shame and the culture
that fueled its decades-long success. You can listen to all episodes of Camp Shame one week
early and totally ad-free on iHeart True Crime Plus. So don't wait. Head to Apple Podcasts and
subscribe today. Have you ever thought about going voiceover?
I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation.
I'm also the girl behind voiceover, the movement that exploded in 2024.
You might hear that term and think it's about celibacy, but to me, voiceover is about understanding
yourself outside of sex and relationships.
It's flexible, it's customizable, and it's a personal process.
Singleness is not a waiting room.
You are actually at the party right now.
Let me hear it.
Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The OGs of uncensored motherhood
are back and badder than ever.
I'm Erica.
And I'm Mila.
And we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast,
brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network
every Wednesday.
Yeah, we're moms, but not your mommy.
Historically, men talk too much.
And women have quietly listened.
And all that stops here.
If you like witty women, then this is your tribe.
Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect Podcast
Network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast.
Hello, the internet and welcome to this episode of How You Trend That.
How you trend that.
Jesus Christ.
In honor of our dear leader.
Are you worried that they're going to start going through your phone?
Yeah, my tech leader.
Am I worried about their going to-
They'll start going through your phone.
There's a lot of articles being like, they're going to-
I wouldn't say it.
Guys, I wouldn't say anything mean about Donald Trump.
They'd be like, I would take a burner or like go travel with a burner.
Yeah.
I don't know, bro.
I don't even actually spell his fucking name, I feel like on my phone.
No.
Actually, I feel like I, when I try and think about I'm trying to think of the last time
I was text, it's probably with like my mom or dad or my like in-laws who are like older
people who are always want to hear my political takes.
But-
I mean, when we're off, Mike, we're actually really complimentary of him.
This is all kayfabe, man.
Hell yeah, bro.
Hey, we were just chasing the money back in 2016, bro.
Know what I mean?
And then we're really bad at it.
So we decided to go anti-trough him.
So the direction that would have made us very rich,
very rich. The joys of being a second rate podcast.
Yeah. Again, it's a double edged sword, man, because on the other side,
we're not big enough to ever get in trouble. No, that's what I'm saying. He's not going to
notice our ass. Yeah. If we do, I'm like, nah bro,
this wasn't what I wanted.
Not like this.
All right, let's talk about our leader.
What we got?
Is this part of the big BBB?
The big beautiful bill?
Jack, everything's part of the BBB.
Everything's part of the big BBB.
That Brazilian butt butt. Yeah, I think part of the BBB. Everything's part of the BBB. Maybe that Brazilian butt, but yeah.
I think it's what it stands for.
But yeah, like right now, I mean, Trump, look,
there's like five fucking things going on with him
that has him in the headlines.
First of all, he's like banning all foreign students
from coming into Harvard and teachers.
He's proclaimed that.
There's a new travel ban for 12 countries,
but he's like, but it's chill if they gotta come for the world
cup or Olympics, in which case we will, that's fine.
Anyone else?
No.
Um,
Flooded.
Totally, totally.
Exactly.
Like that's what it feels like because, and then also, and this is how you
really know the, the shit gates have fully opened and the flood has begun.
This is how you really know the shit gates have fully opened and the flood has begun.
He announced an investigation into Biden's mental decline
all over this auto pen shit like who is signing it?
It's just again, more of a distraction.
I think-
It's silence of the lambs logic, man.
How are you gonna catch a serial killer
by asking a serial killer to catch it?
How are you gonna catch a president in mental decline?
Oh, shit. You know what I mean?
And then what's- He's the Hannibal Lecter
of presidents in mental decline.
But then what does he do?
He's like, all right, got him.
We didn't need help. Exactly.
Man, figure your own shit out, bro.
So anyway, all of this I think is all happening
while Trump feels pretty fucking frustrated
about everything that's happening,
whether it's like court decisions,
Musk constantly just upping the ante every day
on shitting on the bill.
He's like, Elon Musk is like, call your senators
and Congress people to kill the bill.
So he's fully, they are fully diametrically opposed.
And at first it felt like-
This war just got hot. there's no more cold.
No, no, no, it's kinetic, as they say.
That I think one of the big things is,
Trump didn't really respond,
and then suddenly he does these little weird micro
big boy cruelty announcements that he's like,
yeah, I'm still here, baby.
But he has now clapped back.
He was just talking to the press and they're beefing. He was basically's like, yeah, I'm still here, baby. But he has now clapped back. He was just talking to the press and they're beefing.
He was basically saying like,
I think maybe Elon has Trump derangement syndrome.
He's like, he was being nice and maybe we're being nice,
but I don't think so anymore.
I don't think so anymore.
He does sound like wounded sometimes when he's like,
hey, we were being nice and now I don't think so anymore.
Well, and even Elon, he's like, I gave you everything.
It was basically he was like, he's like, he wouldn't be here without what I did
for him, blah, blah, blah. And you're like, Oh, damn, that's like,
that's pretty far down the road of like, you know, acrimonious breakup.
You know? Oh yeah. You wouldn't be here without me? Yeah. The other part that-
I made you!
Yeah, that's fucking wild.
If he did the, I brought you into this world
and I can take you out of this world type shit.
I don't know what if he means that he's like,
I will tell people the fuckery I do with Starlink
or whatever all those people who have the conspiracy theories
are about the election.
The congressional budget office found that it'll add.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
That'll add, yeah, $2.4 trillion,
a lot more than they're saying, and also result in nearly 11 million people losing their homes. the Congressional Budget Office found that it'll add. Yeah. That'll add, yeah, $2.4 trillion,
a lot more than they're saying,
and also result in nearly 11 million people
losing their health coverage because of the cuts to Medicaid
that they're still blatantly lying saying,
eh, whatever it's gonna be.
The zone is so flooded with shit,
I did not realize they had put Dr. Oz
in charge of that shit.
Yeah.
Like, I just, I missed that somehow.
That he was just like, we're going to give it to
a Medicare, Medicaid. We'll give it to Dr. Oz because it has meta in it and he is TV doctor.
Do you know what else?
A fucking dear leader just did. I forgot to mention this.
They just put a 22 year old to lead US terror prevention.
Yeah.
This kid is one year out of college.
He worked at a grocery store before that, and he is now heading
up US terror prevention.
Whiz kid.
He's a whiz kid.
This dude is so easily impressed by anybody who knows how to use a computer.
You know, this dude is giving the wildest full got a his, his official photograph.
He looks like a telenovela bad guy.
He's like doing the arched eyebrow.
Like it's so they just they're it's all people who are like, I've, I've left my dark past behind and I'm going to.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, he's a rough 22, but yeah, this is the person. He's a rough 22. Yeah.
He does not look 22 to be certain. He's overseeing the government's hub that is combating violent extremism.
Don't tell me.
Look, we already can tell, because like even with the ice shit,
so many federal, like law enforcement people have just been like,
sorry, you're transferred to immigration torture brigade.
That's that's your job now.
That a lot of people from like actual like intelligence and security
thing are like, we are lacking people who actually go out
and investigate other shit
because you have them on immigrant goon squad.
Yes, good point, Brian.
He wasn't even alive for 9-11 this kid.
Yeah, that's, so he's, I mean, he's next level thinking.
He's second generation thinking on how to stop terror.
Yeah. He basically, he worked for the campaign
and like interned at the Heritage Foundation.
I just don't, anyway, so everything's bullshit
and bad things are coming because we don't know,
like literally no one's at the wheel here.
On the Dr. Oz thing, like I,
it seems like it was a bad idea to put him in charge of that
while trying to like kick millions of people off
of Medicaid and Medicare because Dr. Oz's political instincts
have been shown to be lacking. You may remember when he ran
against John Fetterman and got just rinsed by John Fetterman.
Now I'm like, you should have beat him.
He defended Trump's big, beautiful bill over criticism that millions of people
could lose health coverage saying those who would face new work requirements
should go out and get a job, prove that they matter.
I mean, what if, I mean, that's the perfect take, honestly, for these people.
Okay, then work.
Poor person.
Get out there.
Get out there.
This is the exact quote.
Go out there, do entry-level jobs,
get into the workforce, prove that you matter.
I'm sorry, so Dr. Oz, just based on the,
what's the formula here to matter in the United States?
Do work.
You got to do work.
So if I don't, if I'm, if I'm unable to get a job due to,
you know, disability or some other circumstance,
you don't matter.
You are being, we're going to send you to the sad
train yard where they send the Thomas,
the tank engine trains that can no longer do work.
You don't matter.
You suck.
Back half of that quote too is it's a much more enjoyable experience if you
go through life thinking you are in control of your destiny and you'll get
better insurance at the same time. That hit really just laid it out.
Dude, their lives have been so easy for so long.
They don't understand like the idea that some people can't get jobs.
They just think it's a choice. You just don't get jobs. They just think, it's a choice.
You just don't get a job.
You just have to ask your dad.
As producer Victor was like, how hard could it be?
Just have your dad make you an executive at his job.
That's what all my friends do.
Yeah.
God, see this, I blame my dad for not being
of having a corporation I could be the fucking CEO of.
Yeah.
Man. Fucking artist.
That's what I want for my kid.
I'm just trying to be a CEO so my child can just fuck me.
I just want some Nepo babies.
Just float up to the top like some cooked pasta.
Float right to the top, float right to the top, baby.
Like some cooked pasta.
Pasta's done.
That's what you say as you promote yet another
one of your children.
Yeah, or you see your boss's kid come in
who's now your boss.
You go, oh, the pasta's done.
Hey, pasta's done.
Hey, your pasta's done.
Why do they keep yelling pasta's done at me, dad?
They call me Al Dente.
What's up, AD?
He, meanwhile, he is also working to save a flock
of ostriches in Canada who are scheduled to be
put to death due to the avian flu. He wants to relocate the birds to his ranch in Florida and
is being backed up by RFK Jr. who is almost definitely hoping to eat the ostriches.
Hell yeah, bro. He's looking for a loose one to fall down and be like,
loose. He's just looking for one to split off from the pack.
Oh, Lucy, yeah.
And that's when RFK Jr. attack.
True apex predator.
I mean, I like ostriches.
I just, it would be cool if they would extend empathy
to actual human beings, not just sickly ostriches.
This is America.
You know, that's like after like, you know,
what life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is sheltered
animals matter more than dying human beings.
They're like, Oh, I hate a puppy mill.
Hate a puppy mill.
I will fucking march outside of this pet code to stop them using puppy mills.
Anything else?
Just no, no, no, no.
Can't get you bothered.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Maren Morris is here.
You came out of a marriage, you came out of quote unquote country music, and you had a
huge growth spurt from what I can tell.
I realized I was expanding and growing at a really fast pace.
And yes, you could throw motherhood and the postpartum thing, learning about myself.
There were a lot of identity crises going on, but I realized I can't look back and slow down for people.
I want to set my own pace, and I will sacrifice my comfort to move at the pace that I have worked really
hard to move at.
Literally everything that could change in your life happened in like five years for
me and you know, it was a slow burn.
Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Camp Shane, one of America's longest running weight loss camps for kids,
promised extraordinary results.
Campers who began the summer in heavy bodies
were often unrecognizable when they left.
In a society obsessed with being thin,
it seemed like a miracle solution.
But behind Camp Shane's facade of happy, transformed children
was a dark underworld of sinister secrets.
Kids were being pushed to their physical and emotional limits
as the family that owned Shane turned a blind eye.
Nothing about that camp was right.
It was really actually like a horror movie.
In this eight-episode series, we're unpacking
and investigating stories of mistreatment
and reexamining the culture of fatphobia that enabled a flawed system to continue for so
long.
You can listen to all episodes of Camp Shame one week early and totally ad free on iHeart
True Crime Plus.

Have you ever thought about going voiceover?
I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation.
To most people, I'm the girl behind voiceover, the movement that exploded in 2024.
Voiceover is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships.
It's more than personal. It's political, it's societal, and at times it's far from what I originally intended it to be.
These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be VoiceOver,
to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships.
I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us
think about how we love each other.
It's a very, very normal experience to have times
where a relationship is prioritizing other parts
of that relationship that are being naked together.
How we love our family.
I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me,
but the price is too high. And how we love ourselves. Singleness is not a waiting room.
You are actually at the party right now. Let me hear it. Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio
app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Over the past six years of making my
true crime podcast, Hell and Gone, I've learned one thing.
No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages
from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the
murder of my husband. It's a cold case. I've never found her and it haunts me to this day.
The murderer is still out there. Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line,
I dig into a new case,
bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist
and private investigator to ask the questions
no one else is asking.
Police really didn't care to even try.
She was still somebody's mother,
she was still somebody's daughter,
she was still somebody's sister.
There's so many questions
that we've never gotten any kind of
answers for. If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line
at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
get your podcasts. And we're back.
We got to talk about some important news.
Marvel has, it seems like they might have a good thing going with this fantastic four
reboot.
It's a period piece.
It's got like fun vibes.
It seems like very contained.
And in the first trailer, we saw the shadow of Galactus looming over the city.
Big, big horn helmet, big guy.
And in the new one, you see the back of his head.
So they're going full jaws on this motherfucker, you know?
What the front look like.
Yeah.
What that front look like, Galactus.
Show yourself.
But because the real money's in popcorn buckets, they just spoiled it by releasing their popcorn bucket,
which is just big galactus head.
Dude, what the?
This thing is 17 and a half inches tall, 20 inches wide?
Yeah.
That's about the width of a standard,
I was just looking,
width of a standard movie theater seat
can be anywhere between 18 to 22 inches wide.
So your shit is as wide as your theater.
So if you got three motherfuckers sitting in a row, RIP the arm restroom.
Yeah, yeah, no, it's just this is this is what you're you're not really watching the movie.
You're watching your popcorn bucket from now on.
Yeah. Oh, well, I guess that's how the that's probably how they're going to get people to like and buy like the premium seats Or like well, you know, the premium seats are 24 inches wide if you want to be able to sitting down front in first class
Yeah, that's that's the only way you can accommodate your galactus fuck bucket
But I mean, this is only the first shot fired in this arms race, you know
Also, like we're gonna get bigger and bigger popcorn buckets for sure. Oh for sure and let's be real bro
Like I get what you're doing
But the ones that really pop off are the ones that the internet say how are you gonna fuck the bucket? Yeah, his mouth is
Stubbornly close what's that mouth do they we have no idea
He's just also it just looks like it doesn't look that cool like it
maybe they were like, oh people are making a big deal about what, uh, what, uh,
Galactus is going to look like. And, uh, it actually looks stupid. Um,
so yeah, that's a good point. He is the eater of worlds and yet he's,
he's not making, he's making it very clear. He's not eating anything else.
The very obstinately closed mouth.
Who's playing Galactus it should look
like John Cena yeah it does look like you're not seeing innocent who's that
what was he in oh this guy yeah yeah yeah he was Finchie on the British
office Finchie like the biggest piece of shit who basically was the, the, the dad from the vich.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Welcome Finchie. Wow. Finchie.
I didn't realize the dad from the vich was a Finchie until just now.
He said the vich way to respect that double V's makes it a bitch.
But anyways, I do respect that they had this whole promotion campaign where they're
like, and then like people aren't going to see it until, oh shit, somebody just
released a popcorn bucket.
Oh, great.
It doesn't look like them though.
But anyway, hey, fine.
Whatever.
Uh, let's see ice.
Who those guys up to?
Uh, just for Steven Miller is still your numbers up ice.
Still, still last week we were talking about,
I was like, I need 3,000 wives.
I mean, migrants arrested a day or I will be sad.
And they still aren't quite hitting their goals.
So now ICE agents have been told
to literally turn their cruelty up to 11.
They're like, we need to turn the creativity up to 11
and need to quote, get creative, even if that means rounding up quote,
collaterals. And you're like, what is a collateral?
It is an arrest that happens when ice has a warrant to arrest a specific
person or people. But then when they get there, they're like,
what about y'all other Brown people? Y'all got papers? You know what? Fuck it.
I'm arresting y'all anyway. That's what they mean. So they're basically like, if you see one, get everybody else with them, too,
because fuck it, we're just going to play the numbers game here.
And this just need to get our numbers up one way or another.
Yeah. And again, it shows that mainstream media insists on writing stories
about how Biden was better at this than us.
Yeah. So that's what you're that's the fucking story you're. Which is. That's what you're. That's the fucking story you're writing about ICE.
That's what you're doing.
You know, U.S. politics, it's like Hogwarts.
It's like the schools seem different, but they still part of the same school.
You know what I mean?
He's like the fucking Hufflepuff's got way more people than us.
We must round up more.
And this goes along like you clearly this is happening
because there was another headline out of Arizona
that alleges these ICE goons were impersonating
utility workers in order to infiltrate a community
and get some answers on the whereabouts of people.
Do they still have their masks on?
Of course they do.
They're like, oh yeah, we're just reading your meter.
Why do you have a balaclava?
Because it's stinky, stinky.
Stinky, anyways.
Seen any brown people around?
We're seeing so much more and more community resistance,
which is like a, it's heartening
to see people protecting each other.
These are also happening in states
where people definitely were voting for this shit.
And you hear this a lot, people are like,
why didn't vote for this?
It's like, well, what the fuck do you think the science?
What did you think was happening?
Or they were hanging up racism.
They were talking about mass, deep mass deportations.
But not this.
That doesn't mean leaving church early on a Sunday.
Well, because Fox News got them with the, you know, the
the trend, the Aragwa like that, those types.
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
The sampling error of like if we show you the two people who are committing
crime, but we show it to you a thousand times, you think that that's what
everybody's talking about when they say deportation.
We think that there's actually 2000 of those people that are going to be deported
every day. And you got got dipshit.
You did. You did. Let's talk.
The mega credit card.
Holy shit.
This seems stupid.
Yeah, it is.
And they've announced it in a really fun way.
Yeah.
So the credit card is called Coin.
It's like a right wing credit card.
And it's like the conservative credit card
that gives you cash back for using racial slurs
with retail and service staff,
I think is what it says, for every dollar you spend.
No, like the whole thing is like,
their whole pitch is like,
big corporations give their money to the left
and control the agenda, therefore we need to fight back.
So your spending helps benefit conservative causes,
like giving a veteran a puppy and then taking it away
once the camera crews leave.
So right now they're puffing their chests out
because they just dropped the first fully AI produced
television commercial that will be aired
on broadcast television.
It's definitely got uncanny valley vibes to this shit.
But again-
Well, there's like humans in it.
Yeah, of course. And they look odd. But again, most of us are like, yo, what the fuck is this shit, but again. There's like humans in it. Yeah, of course. And they look odd, but again, most of us are like,
yo, what the fuck is this shit?
Luckily their target demographic is people
that believe school children are taking dumps
and litter boxes.
So this will probably like bring a fucking tear
to their eye when they see that like they finally
have a credit card here.
We'll just play some of the audio because again,
everything you're gonna hear, everything we are seeing as we watch this has been fully generated by vo3 which is the new Google product
Which well done Google well guys, you guys this shit. It's looking
I'm not gonna look better and fucking better to the point where I'm like, yeah, this is the work hook deal
Quaking how are you gonna spend right today?
I'm like, yeah, this is work hook deal quick and how are you gonna spend right today?
So right now guy had a fucking eagle on his arm
Yeah, a bald eagle now we cut to a black man at a barbecue couldn't find a real one. Gotta make it a
Couldn't find a real couldn't find a real eagle couldn't find a real black man in front of a grill either. Here he goes ribs
Chicken and some alligator for the big game. Jesus Christ. Wait a second
I'm sorry They they used AI to create a black man who said I'm gonna spend my money on ribs chicken
And an alligator for the big game. All right. Yeah. Yeah, okay
Yeah, this is this is what happens when white people get to create black people out of thin air and that's great
I'm sort of conformed to whatever their concept of blackness is.
This is now a woman in front of a pickup truck with hunting gear on new camo for deer season.
Now an Asian man is sitting down at a dining table with how many millions of dollars of gold bullion.
Jenga stack of gold bullion.
How many millions of dollars of gold bullion is that? A Jenga stack of gold bullion.
Again, great.
I don't know what the implication is here, whether it's like,
you know, you want to be one of these rich Asian people.
Or is it like, if you use this card, you could be stacking bullion.
Like you work at a fucking, you know, insert kitchen joke here.
Gold.
I've bought a lot of gold.
I've pamped my ride to go muddin'.
Damn.
I mean, that would be, I'm offended on behalf of white people who have lived in the South
on that one.
For just muddin'?
I pimped my ride on go muddin'.
What?
And this one is like done in the style of a 360 cam.
Like it's very Orbea, fish eye distortion.
Okay, go on.
Because you only live once.
Okay.
And I bought the biggest American flag I could find
because God bless the USA.
What?
Spend right.
So the delivery is very just choppy.
Because God bless the USA.
The way the guy said, I'm buying like the super pause
when you're talking about gold.
I'm buying gold.
Right here.
Gold.
I've bought a lot of gold.
What?
Gold.
You know how people talk.
It's like he, the pause was sort of like,
he wanted to say something super witty
and then just had to like wrap it up clean.
He's like, hey, robots run out of ideas too. I bought a lot of gold. Were you gonna say something super witty and then just had to like wrap it up. Cleans like a robots run out of ideas to I bought a lot of gold.
Were you going to say something else? Nope. That was it.
Were you I thought you were maybe going to say something. No. OK.
You go, you go. Gold.
No, you already. So we got the gold.
Yeah, I bought a lot of gold.
Is that Jack, what do you think of how that looks
in terms
of like what they're doing? I have a friend who just like fucks, like he was,
he sent me a thing to do a street.
He sent me a fake street interview he made where people were like just talking
about how like they love that they're going to die under the big, beautiful bill.
Like just as a thing, he's like, look at what this shit's doing now.
And I was like, Oh boy, this is fucking free gay. Um. It just makes it just, it truly does feel like we're, we're getting closer and closer
to that point where all of this shit looks so like real enough that it's going to cause
problems like in physical space.
And that's where, you know, that's, I think that was the biggest fear all along with what
these kind of videos will be able to do.
Yeah. It's not good, Miles.
I would say it's not very good.
Not good, but unless you own stock in Nvidia or Google
or OpenAI, or I think they're private still, but hey.
We're all gonna die.
And then finally, we have more on Jonathan Joss's murder.
It does seem like the police officer who at first was like,
yeah, no evidence of a hate crime here has now said, I shouldn't have said that.
Yeah.
Way too soon before we had real information and I will own that.
It's way too early in the process for any statement of that nature to be issued.
So.
I think the way it works in Texas is like the police don't charge a hate crime.
It happens when the DA prosecutes and that's like an enhancement that the DA decides to do.
Someone was just saying legally that's how it happens.
But either way, the chief fucked up by out of hand being like, I don't know anything to indicate that.
Except for like one of the people that was there where their husband died in their fucking arms
after being shot at by a person who said, was screaming homophobic slurs and put a dog skull
on their burnt down house.
What about that?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe.
Has TMZ issued an apology? Is that?
I don't know. I mean, like, you know, they're going to do the thing where they're like, well,
you know, this is just what was being, this is what the police said, you know?
And like, but again, that came out so quick,
like as a response to people being like,
y'all, this is a fucking hate crime.
What are, like, what are all these headlines doing?
And I think that's where TMZ was sort of defending
the mainstream and be like, well, actually,
we're getting word from the chief police.
They don't believe it's a hate crime.
Anyway, gotta go, gotta go.
Well, at least some people were really eloquent on this uh Chris Pratt tweeted or now this was a instagram post
he wrote damn rip Jonathan always such a kind dude he played Ken Hotate in parks and was also in
mag seven sad to see prayers up hug your loved ones um prayers up prayers up um
Prayers up what what I feels that feels like inappropriate feels like based on what happened Yeah
Like that's what you say to somebody who like you went to summer camp with and you hadn't seen in 30 years died in a car
Accident damn. All right, man prayers up, you know, there's a dog hug your loved ones. Hmm
Hold your kids a little tighter.
Anyways.
