That one, courtesy of Nick Sapper Taranis and an inside joke.
Starting point is 00:02:27 between Jesse Waters and his wife teenage mutant ninja gerbils Steve Miller There was a thing I was reading that people always point out about Jesse Waters is that he let
Starting point is 00:02:44 the air out of the tires of his wife to like so she was she needed him to like save him that was like a pickup move yeah or some kind of terrible manipulation Yeah, yeah, that's like the thing you see a serial killer do.
Starting point is 00:03:02 That's like a serial killer set up. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That has never been done in the context of romance in a film. It has been done by fucking Buffalo Bill and like, yeah. Jesus Christ. Shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The serial killer in spruce.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Shout out for those who know. Dark-ass movie. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gris. Oh, God, yeah. Here I am. Here we are. Rocky like a hurricane.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Coming to the end of the week. This is, yeah, Thursday, October 9th. The trends, the stories. It looks like a deal to end the genocide in Gaza is possible. People on both sides seem cautiously optimistic. I think one side a little more cautious than the other probably the one that's heard
Starting point is 00:04:02 this before and then munitions were flying right after. I mean there's definitely a huge response I mean like the food prices have apparently come down in Gaza just on this announcement for the anticipation of aid but this is like one of those things where
Starting point is 00:04:18 each group has their own take on what they think this means or terms like this is everlasting durable peace and then you have Gazins or you have you know Hamas where like this I think is the end of
Starting point is 00:04:32 the war and occupation and meanwhile you know Israel's still having to approve this like their government still has to approve it but I mean it I think everything I read feels like this this is definitely there is some
Starting point is 00:04:46 optimism but again yeah cautious because you just don't fucking know how this thing's I do have to wonder if how complete and incredibly unpopular, they have become both abroad and in Israel has anything to do with their willingness to finally come to the table and stop slaughtering innocent people. The two big gives, so hostages being returned is obviously a huge one.
Starting point is 00:05:15 And then allowing an international peacekeeping force so that it's not just the Israeli military doing whatever the fuck they want behind, like, a media blackout. So obviously, if things unfold in that direction, that would be undoubtedly an improvement over the current situation. And, you know, it's just great to see the first, like, slivers of optimism from people on the ground. Yeah. Yeah, that's, like, the one thing, like, well, God.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I mean, the thing about the food prices, I was like, okay, well, that's definitely a measurable reaction in terms of, like, the optimism on the ground there. but it leaves so many question marks of like, you know, statehood, the West Bank. Right. It doesn't seem like there's anything. It seems like it's a lot, like it's more of a just make it stop situation more than a like, and we have gained ground from before.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Like, you know, the Palestinian people were already living under a brutal apartheid state and occupation before the genocide began. So it's tough to see exactly. where, you know, where they stand now that all of their homes have been demolished. And, you know, they are saying that they're going to open borders and let aid through. That's also part of the deal. Right. And, you know, reconstruction potentially too.
Starting point is 00:06:39 But it's all very in the beginnings. But, yeah, I mean, Jesus Trump is acting like, I mean, it, there's just also something very dark about the Nobel announcement happening. happening right around now. And maybe his rush to get this done because there was a thing where Trump had this whole thing where he had a bunch of people
Starting point is 00:06:59 at the White House to talk about like what is what is Antifa and who are they where Rubio passed him a note that said hey we need you to approve this truth social post so we can make an announcement on the deal. Oh yeah. Yeah and it was like a thing because again they write everything in crayon
Starting point is 00:07:15 in such huge writing that like any photograph they pass him a blinking sign on the table. Sir. Giant blinking sign. Just a huge iPad that's like three words. He's old school. He likes it in light, bright. That's right. Yeah. The other thing that makes me less optimistic other than the fact that Israel has come to the table and then used the table as an improvised explosive device to like kill the people across from them in the past is just the almost uniforming competence of the Trump administration.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And their willingness to repeatedly spike the football. Like we've seen football bloopers where the person like spikes the football before they cross the like into the end zone. Was that Leon Lett famous? Yeah. Leon Lett is the most famous example because I think it was in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Davey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:10 They seem to prefer to spike the football at the 50 yard line like right. Yeah. Yeah. They're just celebrating. So we'll see. cautiously optimistic, hopeful for all of the people who are affected that
Starting point is 00:08:26 there is actually progress here and that they choose. Yeah, and not just God, some like incremental thing that just backslides into terrible shit again. But yeah, I mean, you know, the amount of optimism from even other countries feels
Starting point is 00:08:42 like maybe, or I don't know if that's meant to sort of be like, all right, Trump, like keep you keep it going, you know, don't just take a foot off the gas because you're falling asleep. literally at the table in other meetings. He's an easy man to manipulate, so whether or not that's what they're doing. If it's working, keep doing it. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:00 There are more details emerging on the justification for the military deployment to Chicago and Portland. The Trump administration continues to claim that those cities, Chicago and Portland are, like, out of control. They're weighing war zones. Yes. They're weighing invoking the Insurrection Act, which hasn't been invoked. since the early 90s LA riots and they're thinking about
Starting point is 00:09:26 invoking that because the courts aren't willing to back their bullshit justification for what they're doing. So we have a couple of details emerging that just like paint a clear picture because they're saying like we had to step in. Like the situation
Starting point is 00:09:42 was out of control. One of the stories in Chicago that they had was that there were violent protesters who rammed ice agents with their car. And so we're starting to get a little bit more clarity on that. I'll just read from this article in the mirror. Officials had initially alleged that Martinez was armed
Starting point is 00:10:05 and rammed her car into federal agents threatening to shoot officers. However, prosecutors now acknowledge that she did not point or display a weapon. Martinez's attorney, Christopher Parente, offered to play an agent body camera video that shows the shooting. In the footage, he claims an agent turns a federal vehicle in Brighton Park, not Broadville, into Martinez's vehicle when he taunts her to, quote, do something, bitch. He then allegedly exits his vehicle and proceeds to shoot her. Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:10:39 So. Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is the thing I remember, like, when the story first came out, like, you got the official version. I was like, oh, my God, it's like they had no choice but to do this. And every single subsequent detail was like, you guys are covering up an attempted murder, it sounds like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And you're just seeing like this footage of, this is completely in keeping with the footage from the streets. We're seeing of ICE agents, like, you know, shooting people in the face with like pepper bombs and, you know, like a priest. Less lethal ammunition. Yeah, they shot a priest in the head. Sometimes, man, just standing there. Sometimes lethal.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yes. Occasionally. People getting shot. Like after. just the ICE agents just being like, fuck you. Just like get mad and do it, which I don't know if that's official orders
Starting point is 00:11:26 or if it's just the fact that they are scrambling a force together of people who are just like, yeah, I'll take money to brutalize people, sure. Did you even see the thing where like the Chicago PD was also getting in like this, like they were getting hit with tear gas too, like inadvertently? They're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah, yeah. It's absolute chaos. It does not see, again, like it doesn't seem, like we've talked in the past couple weeks about this idea of like designed incompetence where you are like engineered incompetence where an authoritarian will put people who are incompetent in positions of authority under them because they know that they will listen to whatever the authoritarian wants them to do you know they they know that they're not qualified for that position and so they will just you know be good soldiers and follow through on the
Starting point is 00:12:16 demands. And I feel like you're kind of seeing that on a broad scale with ice agents where they're just like, yeah, man, if you're willing to take the money, like, great, just like you, you go buck wild. You do whatever you want. And so it's just absolute chaos and violence in the streets. We also have a report from the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal, publishing reports from the police in Portland, noting that the protesters that they were claiming were, like, on a war path, like, destroying the city, I think Trump was saying, are actually more on like some Jeb Bush shit, on some, uh, very low energy. Yeah. On September 5th, this is a quote from the Wall Street Journal. On September 5th, President Trump described ongoing protests in Portland
Starting point is 00:13:05 is unbelievable and the destruction of the city. Later that day, later that day, so the day he's saying that the protests are unbelievable. the city's being destroyed. Later that same day, a sergeant from the Portland Police Bureau filed his daily observations of the demonstrations, the very demonstrations Trump was referring to.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Unbelievable. Outside an ice facility. Quote, saw eight people out front and couldn't even get one of them to flip me the bird, he wrote. Very low energy. Jesus Christ. Like he's writing like a critique
Starting point is 00:13:43 of a community theater performance. Right, right, right. Very low energy. I was heckling the entire time. Couldn't even get them to flip me the bird. First of all,
Starting point is 00:13:52 for a force that's supposed to be keeping the piece, weird how the tone of that is everyone is being cool and nice to me. And like the whole tone of the whole report is profound disappointment.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Right, right, right. I couldn't even get them the fucking. Not even one. I laid out rocks for them to throw in my direction. Did you leave the pallet of bricks? Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:15 loose sledge numbers everything so they're trying to pick a fight uh the entire administration is using the might of the military to try and pick a fight um and it's uh pretty wild like it does it does seem like the media is particularly not buying the bullshit i mean kind of like where they'll they'll report it you know what i mean like the thing with the martina's shooting in chicago like the initial things were just all one-sided well this is what they said, even though, even if you bothered to look on social media, like, you already saw these conflicting reports and people on the ground, be like, this is absolutely not what happened. And don't even, like, if you're going to report it, you need to talk about everything that
Starting point is 00:15:00 happened around. It's been like, that's what they told me. Yeah. But like, yeah, even with these other podcast, a podcast that was created after we started to try and just get a bit of our esteem called the Daily from the Eric Times had a report on the show. Chicago situation yesterday and were, yeah, they laid out just like how complete, how much bullshit it is, but they didn't, they didn't yet have the body cam footage where it was where the person said, do something bitch and then shot her five times. I mean, this is a, yeah, this is, this is sort of just how the, the Trump administration has basically had the media in lockstep with them to not, you know, it's like if you're one of the
Starting point is 00:15:44 main sort of legacy ones, you definitely under more scrutiny. And it's like sort of outlets that are sort of like on the fringes that are giving you something that is a little bit more substantive. But those emails like coming from the Wall Street Journal are also while there's another one that's from another person. So this is
Starting point is 00:16:00 from a Portland police officer responding. I think the same one. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing much to note tonight. FPS that's Federal Protective Service called and reported that a small group of counter protesters showed up and instigated a confrontation with regular protesters one of the regular ones pulled out a baton of some sort and chased a single
Starting point is 00:16:19 counter protester off we didn't receive a call from a victim or anyone involved when i checked out the night i saw no more than 1520 i paused near macadam to watch and got flipped off that's the end of the email got flipped off they're gonna they're going to weaponize they're gonna start shooting people for giving people a finger i mean it's already like a thing we've seen like a first from an amendment thing where people do that to the cops just to see if they get pulled over, you know, all the time and they're like, you know, you can. I mean, I guess for the moment.
Starting point is 00:16:51 But yeah, they will continue to kind of push the, like, you know, they got caught using other fake footage again. Yeah. Of being like, look what happened. Like, this is from three years ago or some other place again. Because, you know, the reality just isn't on their side. And I think it's also, too, you do hear people, like even conservatives who live in the areas are like,
Starting point is 00:17:10 it's not like, I know people are out. but I'm not, I'm not saying I'm at risk and need the feds to come in. They seem so disappointed, too. They're like, could even get in and flip me the bird. Not even like, they're just like having so much fun. Mm-hmm. It would make a lesser man question his life choices. Let's take a quick break and we'll be back.
Starting point is 00:17:31 All I know is what I've been told. that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up.

Starting point is 00:21:33 A podcast about a company that promised to revolutionize fertility care. Introducing Kind Body, a new generation of women's health and fertility care. Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup. While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients. You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands, and then to find out again that you're just not. Don't be fooled. fold by what all the bright and shiny listen to IVF disrupted the kind body story starting
Starting point is 00:22:11 september 19 on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back and an rip to not dolly parton don't worry folks uh to the parents It's Television and Media Council. Yeah. You probably, we've, throughout the years, I've probably heard of this group because they would complain about like anything
Starting point is 00:22:41 that was fun on TV or commercials. And they're heroes to me. Yeah. I mean, they peaked in their power when they drove people to complain to the FCC when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's nipple in the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:22:56 That was like the height of their powers. And they never reached those heights again. That was like 2004. They were champions for people like me who saw Janet Jackson's nipple and couldn't stop jacking off for four months in a row. And it had to be taken out of school for a little while. Wow. Well, at least you got your head on.
Starting point is 00:23:16 What was that? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I never seen it. This is crazy. And I pretty much again. I didn't even know that that's what was under there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And then there was like a jewelry on it. It wasn't even the whole thing. It was actually, remember, it was like a whole, there was, it was. bejeweled. We didn't even get it. It wasn't a little sun thing around. It wasn't dice, riggedy raw, as they say. Um, it had pretty much that would, like, after that all downhill. Okay. And they managed to stay relevant sort of like over the years. I remember when that Netflix show, that weird show cuties came out. They were like, what is this? Like weird sexualization of children thing. And then it's just been crickets. Uh, I guess just like,
Starting point is 00:23:56 there are a lot of rumors. Apparently the company was ran terribly and the finances were a mess. And also, there just wasn't an appetite for people to fund a bunch of tight-ass weirdos complaining about TV. But don't worry, the founder is actually up to potentially be Trump's ambassador to South Africa. Oh, good. Yeah. I was worried about him.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Is the NRA still around? Because I know they filed for bankruptcy a while back. Are they still out there kicking? I mean, they're out there. Like, they're definitely diminished because of their, you know, lack of money. But they're still, you know, there's still out of your post and shit. Is it just gun lobbies now? they're like it might it seems like if the nRA doesn't exist now it's basically because they became
Starting point is 00:24:37 redundant like they there's just like no the gun lobby's got this like they're so sophisticated we don't need the nora to like do this for us because it's the nora died but like nothing changed about gun laws nothing like moved back in the in the other direction i wonder if there's another thing happening here where it's like no we can we have the fucking white house And all the branches of government, we don't need you anymore to protect us. Yeah, like, I think that the same model of getting their membership, like, into a frenzy to, like, slam the phone lines in Congress is a little bit over. Because I think I'm in a weird way, like, just these sort of values have become de facto
Starting point is 00:25:17 in the country. So, well done to them. But also just, which is really ironic, though, about the parents' television and media council, one of their last posts in September was actually something I think most of us would agree with. They were warning people about the threat that AI chat bots posed to children's well-being. I was like,
Starting point is 00:25:35 oh, man. Interesting. Yeah, you did it. Way to sign off. Broken cloths. Good night, sweet prince. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:41 We do want to check in on Dolly Parton's health. That was like the number one search happening this week. I just remember being, I just remember seeing a headline it said, Dolly Parton's sisters like pray for her. And then like the next day, I was like, actually, never mind. So she postponed a Vegas residency. due to unspecified health issues. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And she was like very good nature. She was like, I joked with them. It must be my time for my 100,000 mile checkup, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon. Oh, Dolly. That fucked me out, man. I had no idea that she had had plastic surgery. I know, like she's beautiful on her own.
Starting point is 00:26:19 She doesn't need plastic surgery. And then so she's beautiful on her own. What are you like some weird fucking nerd? Dolly your beautiful and not, doesn't know that she's, had plastic surgery since the 80s. It's her best friend who loves her too. She doesn't even need it. She's so beautiful. Then her sister
Starting point is 00:26:36 published a post online saying that she was quote up all night praying for Dolly and asked her fans to pray for her as well. And that is wording. Up all night praying for someone who is in the hospital does suggest
Starting point is 00:26:52 deathbed. Can y'all get in on it too? Right. Let's get a few more prayers in here, please. Thank you. Yeah. Let's get the prayers going for this one. So fans naturally freaked out because it definitely felt deathy.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And then the sister came out the next day and was just like basically said, like, she just asked for prayers because she loves prayer. She's like, oh, no, that's what I'm up all night every night praying. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for any confusion. That's just how I roll. Let me just describe me and my man J.C. partying all night. Let me describe a normal Tuesday night for me. Okay, I, around 7.30 p.m., I finished my microwave dinner, and then turn off all the lights, get on my knees, and I'm praying until sun up. Okay. Yeah. Meanwhile, Parton's manager said that the situation was, quote, blown out of proportion, and she was just being treated for kidney stones full. Kidney stones. Kidney stones. Painful. Painful.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Oh, yeah. No, I don't. don't, I don't wish that on anyone. I'm just saying, certainly not Dolly. But yeah, not a thing. It's like, I mean, you know, my friends if I had kidney stones and somebody was up all night praying at my bedside, I would be like, you were doing too much. Yeah. Also, this dormant is hitting, man. I have even no idea that I'm trying to piss out a razor blade right now. Yeah. It's, I mean, you have to, when, I think this is the thing you got to understand. They have to be specific on what the prayers are for. Be like, hey, man, you know, she's doing okay.
Starting point is 00:28:27 She'd love for you guys to say a prayer for her, too. Yeah. Great. That's right. But if you're like, I was up, I've been up all night praying for my sister. Because the whole post was, many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer. And I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Like, that is not. Yeah. Those aren't show prayer vibes. Those aren't CPVs. That's standard Southern shit, though, I will say. Having lived in Kentucky for three years, I am an expert on the South. On people asking you for the prayer warriors to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Prayer warriors step up and also just like a little, a little name drop. Like the way that, you know, middle school kids will be like, we had to sleep over this weekend. I was up all night fucking eating candy or whatever. Like they'll, they want to let you know they've, how much prayer they've been doing um god well it does feel like the work it feels a little bit like the reverse of when donald trump has a health problem and everyone's just like holding on to each other being like yo holding their breath with anticipation yeah this guy's going for a 70 yard field
Starting point is 00:29:49 goal attempt with two seconds speaking of which he is at walter reed today for his annual checkup just a standard annual checkup, which he already did in April. So it's a little, yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know if you. Double annual checkup. Did you see him? Wait, so did he go there just now?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Because I saw, did you see he had like a roundtale like a sycophant roundtable today where they're all just fucking just, it was a glaze fest. Oh my God. Does it glaze donuts? Yeah, there was just like one where, you know, every single. It's just like that same thing where they all go around and be like, oh my God, dude, you're so fucking chill dog. Like, thank you, thank God for you forever, for everything you do.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And he's just like this. It sounds like they might be up all night praying for him, you know? Yeah, yeah. He's definitely like, he seems low energy. But again, he's him 79 years old. Him is 79 years old. And finally, a survivor contestant was finally bitten by a venomous snake. I've been waiting for this to happen since the very first episode of Survivor.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I can't believe it took this long. I'm not happy that it happened. Is this the 50th season? Everyone is saying? Yeah, I mean, I think they, like, lick off a couple seasons per year, right? It's not 50 years since it started. No, no, no, but it's two a year, I think. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 So I think that's right. Because I think it started, yeah, in, like, 2000. Man. He was bit by a sea crate, which is a poisonous sea snake, which is always, like, that's the thing that scares me about the ocean. It's not sharks. it's the fact that there are very poisonous snakes in the ocean and he was just sitting on the beach and it fucking
Starting point is 00:31:35 rolled up on him what do it slither slither have you seen they look like the fucking sandworms and beetle juice yeah they're striped like they look like this thing shouldn't be able to sneak up on you you should be like oh god they're nasty that's the thing that scares me. Dude, I'm swimming. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Yeah, it swims. It's ascending from the bottom of this. No, dude, fuck that. No, thank you. I mean, I'm not like a, I'm not like, you know, are you like a, I hate snakes? Are you in Indiana Jones type? Snakes. You indecoded, bro?
Starting point is 00:32:12 I fucking love snakes. I love snakes. I sound like that's, I'm out of here. Yeah. I don't, I don't love them. I've had to tangle with snakes before. We had like, we were in the, uh, We're in the
Starting point is 00:32:28 Missou, in the Missouri where my wife went to medical school and behind our house was a big pond that was like you throw a rock in there and the water starts boiling. Like it was crazy
Starting point is 00:32:43 how many snakes there were in there. You could just look down. It was like coated with snakes at the bottom and they would come up into our yard and we had a little puppy, a fin back then. And so I had to I had to tangle with some snakes in a garden hole.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Dang. Well, you chopped them up? I think I was a little, I did have to chop one. Oh, shit. Unfortunately. Yeah. But it's, I think before that, I was much more scared of them. I really don't love spiders.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Spiders, like just some of the spiders you see out here in L.A. are massive. Love a spider. We had a big spider in our. backyard and I watched it like just I don't know this just like grow and grow and that were ate a helicopter eventually this clip of the guy getting bit and then carted off it is a little jarring because like I feel like every I've I'm not a survivor expert I've seen like maybe five seasons over the years but like I feel like you never see they try not to break the like pierce the veil that like there are other people there with them yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:33:52 in terms of like production support staff. So this, this feels like, anyway, he's okay or he's dead? He's okay. Sorry, he is fine. Jake, who is a Canadian correctional officer, Acap. Oh, USCO, bro? He got bit on the foot. I would probably freak out if I got bit on the foot by a poisonous snake.
Starting point is 00:34:13 But it does also have, like, if you can catch the clip, it's worth watching. because it, like, has the, that guy thinks he just smoked weed energy, but, like, he didn't because the reptile did not, did not inject any poison into his system, but he's like, oh, no, oh, God, and they're just like, sit down, man, like, he's like, put the oxygen on me and, uh, is carried, which exactly how I would act, but also because he's a parole officer, or a, uh, correctional officer. He goes, I have a baby coming. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I mean, I love her. Exactly how I would act, by the way. I would act like a wounded Civil War soldier. Did you imagine? Talking to my brother. You find out that like, he's not even married. He doesn't have a baby coming.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Fucking drama queen. I have a baby coming. My grandma's turning a hundred. I told her I'd dance with her head her birthday. Please. Oh, yeah. I get it though, man.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I see the lie. I see it. That's great. All as well, that is well. Is he, is he back to, like, slow starving on the show? I don't know. It's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Like, they say he didn't, they should have just said, like, the fact that they are going out of their way to be like, didn't even inject any poison, we still are holding him off the show, kind of fucked up, uh, makes him look not great, uh, but anyways, I would have just been like, we don't know, could have. He seems fine, though. He's, he, he's a strong boy who recovered well. Wait, but if he didn't get. Poison and they're saying quote
Starting point is 00:35:49 He's there they had they started to stabilize He started to stabilize after receiving fluids A doctor said it was not safe for him to return to camp And continue the game Because he's kind of like a bitch I got a kid on the way man He keeps talking about his kid on the way Hey give this letter to Betty
