Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi everybody! Happy Halloween! This is the Yanis Papasour. My costume this year is a guy from California who dyes his hair blonde, even though it should be black and gray, by my beard. And you're going, oh, he's lazy because he's still got a beard and he maybe doesn't care to convince people that he's blonde too much. So I'm not sure if I feel safe with him around my kids. That's my costume. That's who I am. I'm a guy from California who you're not sure if you feel safe around your kids. And but I come off as just weed smokey and kind of laid back and very southern cow. I should say southern cow because there is like a northern cow, but I'm more of a southern cow stereotype.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And it's because this was the wig that was in the closet. So that's what I did. And then I pulled up this hat, which I don't know where we got this small fringe minority. I don't know what that means. But at this point, it could be like a hate symbol. And who knows? Then there's an article about me in the post. Who the hell knows? All I know is roast comedy is here to stay and it could be the October surprise that changes things, changes things from Trump to Kamala.
Starting point is 00:01:21 But then Biden, who also put on a MAGA hat and then also just called Trump supporters garbage, even though they kind of booed and groaned, they didn't boo, but they groaned at Tony's jokes at Madison Square Garden. Yeah, Biden called those people garbage, just like Hillary called them deplorables. So right-wing media is running with that.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So that may that may negate that may negate what happened at the garden. Who knows? But it is still good to know that everyone is talking about policy. So who knows? Um, me personally, I don't care who wins because I like to hacky sack and I like to just do my thing. So I don't know. But all we're hearing about is election problems everywhere. Early voting. Trump's already suing. I think he won a lawsuit somewhere in Pennsylvania. Early voting, mail in
Starting point is 00:02:20 ballots, blah, blah, blah. Someone set some ballots on fire in Vancouver, which I thought was in Canada. But there's another Vancouver that nobody cares about and Portland or something. And it said, like, Free Gaza on it. And people are like, is this a false flag or is this, you know, Palestinian protesters
Starting point is 00:02:39 against the war in Gaza? It's the same old same old. But someone set some ballot boxes on fire. So democracy is alive and well. This week is going to be fucked. Let's all live through it and hopefully we come out the other
Starting point is 00:02:57 side because America's got covid for about seven to ten days. Starting from when you watch this covid symptoms have kicked in. And by COVID, I mean the United States elections. I am so sick of watching the World Series or anything on TV,
Starting point is 00:03:14 and I'm just slammed with political ads, political slam ads. I'm done with that. I'm done with that. This is the Yanis Papasour. Let's yas our way to the beginning of this episode. And yes, the history hyenas is back. Now here comes a Greek kid you know you can trust From the truth, who's who?

We're trying to avoid this election rah rah. We're trying to avoid it. I'm in character this whole Halloween. This is what I'm going as. Actually, I think I'm going as like a Disney princess. You're the princess.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I think we're just all gonna be Disney princesses. I don't know. I'm some Disney character, who knows? I'd rather go as Bluey, but Bluey's a girl. Damn it. I don't know. I don't know what I'm some Disney character who knows I'd rather go as bluey, but bluey's a girl Damn it. I don't know. I don't know what I'm going as spider-man something. My wife's picked it out. It's already ordered It's fun for the kids. We have a fun Halloween going on at the house I hope everyone has a great Halloween Halloween is for the kids can adults please Just can we just can it just be in kids holiday? Just like gifts for on Christmas, you know? Wouldn't Christmas be a lot better if you just made out under the mistletoe with somebody
Starting point is 00:05:31 instead of having to go to Bloomingdale's and get them a scarf? It really takes the fun out of out of Christmas. Capitalism really does. Capitalism put the fun in Christmas and then took it away. Okay, because just sitting around going baby Jesus is born and, pa rum pum pum pum is not going to do it. The Christmas tree is great. The stores are great. The cold is great. Brisk brisk. The movies are great. But like actually having to go get bottles of wine and gift certificates and shirts and sweaters and all this stuff. I do not want to spend any time in bloomies.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I don't want to be in bloomies during the holiday rush. And I always do it on Christmas Eve day. Cause I just put it off, put it off, put it off, put it off, put it off. It would just be good if the kids got Legos, the kids got Bluey, the kids got Etch A Sketches. And then that was it. Are adults still excited by presence, the exchange?
Starting point is 00:06:23 Let's stop it. And just like Halloween, it should be for the kids, okay? And it should be mandated that it's just fruit at this point. There shouldn't be a day where adults are allowed to eat candy because we have a bad diabetes problem. It's a really bad and we have an obesity problem.
Starting point is 00:06:44 So no more KitKat bars, okay? We grew up, they tried to scare us, you know, the freaking health food lobby tried to scare us by saying there's razor blades in our candy because some psychos were putting razor blades in candy. Some people are just psychos and it's just there's nothing you can do about psychos. What kind of pleasure you get and putting a razor blade to candy, just knowing some kid's gonna eat it. You're not even around to know it,
Starting point is 00:07:09 just sitting there going, eee, like Gargabelle. I mean, what the hell's wrong with the human brain? So what would happen is, in Brooklyn, you would throw eggs at each other and shaving cream. I don't know how that started, but that became the fun until the cops found you. Were you with us when they caught us on the roof and Bajan had the eggs in his jacket? No. Yeah. Um, so they go, your cops back then were a little different. They're going, okay, guys, we got some reports
Starting point is 00:07:36 of guys throwing eggs. It doesn't look like you got, they had a little fun. They were a little sarcastic. They were a little mean. They were like, you guys, they chased us up onto a roof. I remember, we ran up on a roof after they chased us. And they go, all right, you guys don't look like the guys that are throwing eggs, but do you mind if my partner checks you guys for eggs? Because they knew, just checks. And you guys will be free to go on your way.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And then he just goes, whap, whap, whap, whap, whap, and just breaks all the eggs. He was pounding his jacket. Just pounding all of our jackets. Not only were they breaking the edge, but they were getting a few blows in, if you know what I mean. And then it was always, you gentlemen have a good night.
Starting point is 00:08:20 That's some good old fashioned police. That's how it was in the 80s and 90s. You gentlemen have a good night. That's some good old-fashioned police. That's how it was in the 80s and 90s. You gentlemen have a good night. I was with another friend who got caught tagging, putting his tag on the subway and then they wrote on his forehead and he said, look captain, I'm, look captain, I put up my tag name. He wrote his head on his forehead. What is wrong with the human brain, dog? What is going on? The problem is you got adults acting like this now. They're blowing up ballot boxes. There's so much election talk, voting talk about tomfoolery happening and these fires
Starting point is 00:09:01 were set in Washington, Oregon. And then there's a lawsuit in Pennsylvania where Trump claims that they were preventing people from voting. I think 37 or 31% of the votes of registered voters, voters are already in, in California. We can, we can assume, we know what's going on in California. We don't know what's going to happen in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Right? Everything else is pretty set and also Georgia. What else is there? That's it. So we're waiting
Starting point is 00:09:31 for that. By the way, the hyenas will be going live on November 5th from the History Hyenas YouTube channel. We will be watching the election live like we did a couple years ago. So join us, watch the election with the hyenas. Also, our Patreon is up again, patreon.com slash history hyenas. So you can donate to patreon.com slash Yannis Papasauer or patreon.com slash history hyenas. Or you can do both. You can do whatever you want. You're a free person. We're not making you do anything. But the judge granted the lawsuit. Trump won the Trump campaign one, and he extended in person voting options in Pennsylvania. So who knows what's going on? There's just accusations being swung
Starting point is 00:10:18 left and right. And as we went over, here's what I want to give comfort to people is this is not new. You think it's new, but it's not new. It's not new. Go over to patreon.com slash history hyenas. If you want to listen to the first history hyenas episode, it's there. And we talk about how this is old news. This has been happening forever. Dirty politics, October surprises, all that stuff has been going on. What's this year's Tony surprise? Yeah, I gave it, I don't think it is. I don't think it's enough.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I don't think it was enough for people to care. I don't think Bad Bunny switching his vote or whatever is gonna do it. The only way it might is the 500,000 Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania, but who knows? Now, as it turns out, Tony was trying to make a joke about the garbage problem that they have in Puerto Rico, and he didn't set it up. This is one of the problems of when you take what you do outside of what you do, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:22 So, supposedly there's a big garbage problem in Puerto Rico. That was big news. So he was trying to make that joke, but it didn't come off that way and it's already gone around the world. And that's the danger, I guess, of comedy, especially mean comedy in general, roast comedy. It's a real, you gotta really,
Starting point is 00:11:41 it's gotta be at a roast, you know? Especially him, he goes hard. Now the watermelon one, I think he just meant that. He was carving the watermelon. I don't know, but they're roast jokes. It didn't seem to go that great in the room, but the whole speech, I don't think he bombed the whole thing. I think it was, it was a mixed reaction and I think he'll be fine. thing. I think it was it was a mixed reaction and I think he'll be fine. But he did piss a lot of people off. Although I that was the intent, right? Was the garbage problem in Puerto Rico with no setup. He just assumed the thing is it's one of those things and I kind of understand in some way because he he assumed maybe people knew about it, like the
Starting point is 00:12:26 premise that people knew about it. But there was no setup there. There was no setup. He just said it, but that's what he was going for. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to just call Puerto Rico an island of garbage. But when you put it in, this is the thing about things nowadays, is it's just the context of what had happened and just the sentence coming out. I don't, you can't go, I don't understand how people misinterpreted it.
Starting point is 00:12:53 You can't say that either. But as a comedian, I have to say, I know what he was going for. He was going for something different. Right? And I went and read about it and I went, oh. That's the kind of joke it is, you gotta go read about it. You gotta go read about it afterwards. If he had said that afterwards,
Starting point is 00:13:09 that would have been a nice save. If he had said, oh, you guys don't know, that's. Google it, I'm talking about the garbage problem down there. That would have fixed it. But he probably just put this set together and who asked him to do this? But anyway, it's gonna, his name's out there. I mean, Kil Tony's as big as ever and he'll go down in history now. I mean, he's in the history books now. Trump loses for sure. Even if Trump
Starting point is 00:13:36 wins, he, you know, he goes into the history books. So, he may want to, I don't know, the name Kil Tony right now is not, you might want to go, uh, be nice to Tony for a couple of weeks. Maybe we change the show to be nice to Tony for a couple of weeks. Yeah. But hopefully everyone stays chill. They're just words. Um, stay chill, man. He's a comedian. Um, it went wrong. It just, it didn't, it didn't come off the right way. It is it is what it is. But you know, it's comedy guys. Nobody was hurt. And that's all there is really to say about that. You know, it's like, chill out. I think Biden's mistake was responding.
Starting point is 00:14:25 They should cut that guy's mic off. Cut his mic off. Put it to zero. I'm still in character. I don't even know if that's what he meant, but it came off that way as well. I think he was saying the people who support that are garbage, but it came out saying,
Starting point is 00:14:49 Biden's garbage line undercut that. Yeah, that does undercut the unity message. And it was on a live stream, which means there's no prep, which is not good for that guy right now. Cause not only is he old, but I think he's a little pissed. He's a little pissed that they pushed him out the door. And maybe that was like a Freudian slip, you know? It was kind of like a fuck that bitch kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:15:17 It might have been that. Because if she wins, it's like a blow to his ego, because people are like, you can't win. And then he's going to go, well, like she couldn't either. You know? So maybe it's a little bit of that. Maybe it's just a little bitterness. But he's still cool Joe, man. I mean, dude, you're going into retirement. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's applesauce time. Just enjoy it. Just enjoy your applesauce and throw back a couple of cups of booze. Your son has put you through a lot. Who do you think he aged more? You think Obama aged more from being president or Biden aged more just from having Hunter as a son? That's a double whammy, right? You're the president, that ages you. And then you got Hunter and that ages you just the same. Crackhead's sound puts some years on.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It'll put some years on your life, man. It really will. When he calls him up and he goes, dad, guess who I'm dating? And he's like, what? My other son's ex-wife? And then he just hangs up the phone and just reaches for a drink.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I think that's the real reason why he's slipping into dementia is just to be able to deal with it. He wants to forget. You know what I mean? He's just going, what's the easy way out here? What's the easy way out? What you've put me through? Who takes pictures of themselves smoking crack? Who does that? Who wants evidence of them smoking crack? Who takes a picture of them doing that? There he is right there. Who does that? Who does that? Also, I gotta say, you need a new caulk job.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Who does that? Also, I gotta say, you need a new caulk job. That bathtub needs new caulking, dude. I mean, you're the president's son, you're an attorney. Isn't he an attorney? I think so, yeah. I mean, what are we doing here? He's a businessman. Yeah, well he's a bit-
Starting point is 00:16:57 He's an artist, he's an attorney. Yeah. And why take a picture of that? He's on energy boards, he's everywhere. He's got time for a lot of things. What can you do? The kid had a drug addiction, but the Biden administration is over.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I love how Trump trolls and goes, I love Joe, he's a good guy now. I like Joe. Joe's good. He's not focused on Joe anymore, and that's how it works. Unfortunately, there still are some ramifications from the Trump presidency that really surprised me. I did not know about this.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I was a big fan of the show, Mr. Show, with Bob Odenkirch and David Cross, and I had no idea that Jimmy Pesto, who was a regular on that show, who currently, or up until recently was on Bob's Burgers, was a January 6 rioter. You probably recognize that guy. I mean, I know, I don't know him personally, but I know who he is. And I have no idea what the hell he was doing at January 6. But he's doing a year in prison. And, and he got fired from Bob's Burgers. And not only was he at the riots, he was, there's video footage of him having an active part in pushing police.
Starting point is 00:18:28 So, sorry, his name's not Jimmy Pesto, he voiced Jimmy Pesto. Bob's very good. His name is Jay Johnson. And he was also on Arrested Development. I mean, this guy's a known guy. And I would have never expected him to be a Trump supporter, but he pled guilty, it was on video, to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July, July 7th. And his attorney said he's been blacklisted by Hollywood since the riot.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Well, well you would think that. I think he's currently a handyman. He started doing handyman work. He probably was there not thinking it was gonna get out of control and maybe got caught up in the fervor, you know? But this just shows that actors have a lot of downtime, don't they? Yeah. They have a lot of downtime. Between gigs. Yeah, between gigs they got a lot of downtime.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Comedians don't have any downtime. Well, we do, but I mean, not really, you know, we keep going out. Actors are just between gigs. So this guy was probably just, it might have been just an exciting thing for him to show up. I don't know. I don't know. I can't imagine he thought it was going to be that. I think a lot of people there kind of got amped up by Trump saying, go down there. Right? That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:19:58 That's my opinion. I think Trump saying, go down there and let your voice be heard was part of what rallied these people up. Even though there's no no direct court you can't legally say it but obviously that's what happened right this is getting too hot so I mean Bob's Burgers is currently casting for a new Jimmy Pesto I I mean, this is wild. He might have been the only celebrity there. Pseudo-celebrity or celebrity. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I mean the guy with the horns became a celebrity.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yep. But, Jay Johnston, who would have thought, I would have not thought he voted that way. Why, because he's in Hollywood? Well, because he's with David Cross. Oh, and Odenkirk. Odenkirk, you know, Well, because he's with David Cross. Oh, and Odenkirk. Odenkirk. You know, they're very left, especially David Cross.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Um, I assume that this might've been a, one of those switches that happened. You know, maybe he was a little lefty and then he was like, this walk, this is getting out of hand. He got radicalized. He got radicalized, had a couple of heated exchanges with David Cross. And I would love to hear what, how, yeah, Jay just, Jay just was on the internet a lot, man, he just, it's too much down time
Starting point is 00:21:14 in between gigs, and he was just on the internet, he's on their internet, and you know, just, he just went down that Trump rabbit hole, and once Russiagate turned out to not be true, we just lost Jay. You know, sometimes you lose people to politics. You can lose them to politics. You really can't.
Starting point is 00:21:32 You can lose people to politics and conspiracy theories. Those are the two things. And they usually go hand in hand. I think we lost Jay. I think we did. They said his actions were reprehensible. Wow. Johnson looked straight ahead with a furrowed brow
Starting point is 00:21:51 when his father, brother, and fiancee attended the hearing. Also, maybe he has no kids, so he's got a lot of time. He flew from Los Angeles to DC the day before, marched to the Capitol after attending the Stop the Steal rally. Oh, he was all the way in. He was all the way in. There he used a stolen police riot shield, oh my god, to form a shield wall inside a tunnel against law enforcement and participated in a heave-ho push that pinned and crushed a police officer against the door frame. Despite his guilty
Starting point is 00:22:24 play, he failed to show remorse. Prosecutors pointed to an image of the actor dressed as the Q Anon shaman, Jacob Chansley, that was the guy with the bull horns, at a Halloween party in 2022. Maybe it was ironic though, but since he attended, I don't think so. So he got 18 months. It's the, it's a gig he didn't audition for. And he expresses a lack of remorse for participating in the riot. He is full in. He'll do it again.
Starting point is 00:22:56 He'll do it again, dude. He'll do it again. Jay Johnston is full on in. I couldn't believe this when I read it. I was like, what? I mean, I know who that guy is. His lawyer, the government has continued to advance its indictment of Mr. Johnson's guilty by association basis. It compounds the conduct of others in his vicinity with his alleged conduct
Starting point is 00:23:26 rather than his individualized actions. So he sought leniency saying he's been able to sustain his livelihood as an actor since joining the mob on January 6th. The actor was fired from Fox's Bob Burgers, like I said, when it was confirmed that he tried to break into the Capitol. That's a tough one, man.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's hard to keep your job if you're caught doing that thing. That's no bueno. I think he's great. I always liked him. And now I just think he's a fun guy. He's one of those people I think that just, actors are really good and then you're like, who are these people?
Starting point is 00:24:06 And you realize they're not, they're not people. They don't really have a personality. That's what makes them good actors. Maybe you ever meet an actor and you're like, who's in there? Is there anyone in there? And you know, who knows? Maybe he enjoyed the role of being a January 6th rioter. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:24:30 But he's going away for 18 months. And then when he comes back, I think he's gonna start a podcast. That's the way to go. Yeah, of course. Yeah. My year in jail, just start a far right podcast, dude. Do what Jake Shields has done from the UFC.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You know, he's just become a full on right wing kind of, uh, anti-Israel guy. He was a UFC fighter, mostly a grappler. Wasn't, didn't fight the style that made him popular, although he was very good. And now he's massive on Twitter. You just got to pick a side and go hard. That's all you got to do. What are you looking at? These are all celebrities who endorse Trump. Okay. Let's massive on Twitter. You just gotta pick a side and go hard. That's all you gotta do. What are you looking at? These are all celebrities who endorse Trump.

Starting point is 00:25:38 Yes, Luke from the Dukes of Hazzard. Looks pretty good still. Red Farf. Redavre, coming out. These are all people who've done. Maybe that's the point of this article. Yeah, most of them have done some bad stuff. I mean, Brett Favre, beloved quarterback, but he did send his schween to a girl.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Not necessarily bad, but. He's not the only one. He's not the only one. But, you know, I don't know. Maybe, did she ask for it? Probably not. I don't know. Elon Musk, we know about, he's probably the biggest, right?
Starting point is 00:26:14 Victoria Jackson is not on Wigoby. From SNL in the 80s, I believe, or 90s. She's going the Trump way. No A-listers, guess what? This is the October surprise we were all waiting for. The one and only Joe Exotic is going for Trump. And is that it? Let's see.

Vinny Guadagnino. I know him. All right, that's it. That's it, Vinny. It's a lot of people on here who've done some stuff. Vinny Guadagnino, I know him. That's it. That's it, Vinny. It's a long list.
Starting point is 00:29:29 They got some celebs on there. Kelsey Grammer, probably the biggest star on there, I think, yeah. That's the biggest star. And him and Scott Baio, biggest stars on there. John Voight, I mean, the usual suspects, but Vinny's gotten in there. Diverse too, a lot of rappers.
Starting point is 00:29:46 A lot of rappers. You know, sometimes they make these lists, I bet you if I texted Vinny, you know, some of them may go, what? I didn't say, you know, I think these articles sometimes just go, they hear someone say something. Oh, he endorsed Trump on his Instagram story, so he did. Vinny's going going Trump, wow.

Starting point is 00:32:24 She's got white guys for Trump. White guys for Trump. I mean, white guys for Harris. What's his name? The guy you love. Ethan Hawke. Is that it? No, who played the Hulk in all the Marvel movies?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Hulk Smash. Oh, of course, yeah. Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd, yeah. No, what's his name? Fucking guy. Yeah, he was in the She Baby movie. Second time you watched that,
Starting point is 00:32:51 you realize it's not a good movie. Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffalo. The first time you watch it, you're just going like, wow, she's getting banged out, this is wild. Then the second time you watch it, you just go, this isn't a good movie. Oh, what are you talking about? Pretty Little Thing? Pretty Little Thing.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I watched it a second time and I just went, this isn't a good movie. Not a what are you talking about? Pretty little things? Pretty little thing. I watched it a second time and I just went, this isn't a good movie. Not a great movie. It's not a good movie. Very weird. Yeah, I would say it's just not a good movie. The second time I watched it without all the, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:33:15 because that movie had a lot of woes when you watch it. And then when you watch it without the woes, it's just not that good of a movie. Although he was great in it, Mark Ruffalo. He was great. A pretty young thing or something like that. Yeah. Oh, poor thing, all right?
Starting point is 00:33:32 Poor things? That's it, poor things. Poor things, yeah, poor things. And I hate to say that because it's a Greek director, so I support him. But I, I don't know. It is what it was. It is what it was. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Things are happening in the world. People are pissed. Netflix lost a lot of subscribers, right? We talked about that another episode when they endorsed Harris. They lost a lot of subscribers. The Washington Post, this is so funny dude, this is one of my favorite stories
Starting point is 00:34:09 because the Washington Post is trying to stay out of it. And by not endorsing a candidate, they lost 200,000 subscribers. How funny is that? They didn't endorse either one and people got pissed. They lost 250,000 subscribers by saying, we're keeping out of it. So not only do you lose people when you pick one,
Starting point is 00:34:31 but you're gonna lose when you don't. Oh, he blocks a Harris endorsement. Oh, so that's why they got pissed. So both sides of the aisle got pissed. But he blocked the Harris endorsement in order to not endorse anyone, not to endorse Trump. He just didn't endorse anyone. He wrote a letter, did you read his letter?
Starting point is 00:34:50 No, what'd he say? He basically said. Probably said, like, I don't have time for this shit right now, but I'll write a letter. He wrote something about winning back the trust, the media's been such a bad actor over the last couple of years, we need to bring back trust in the media, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:35:03 So he didn't want to endorse one way or the other. Right, and people are saying you do that now. Now? 11 days before an election. Yeah, yeah. Break tradition, because they always do, right? And people are trying to read the tea leaves, like is he trying to butter up to Trump,
Starting point is 00:35:15 if Trump wins, you know. Yeah, it sounds like he's trying to butter up to both. Well, Harris is not going to be happy. Why do newspapers endorse anyway? Well, that's a good question. Yeah, why has that ever been that newspapers endorse? They shouldn't endorse. Aren't they the ones supposed to be impartial?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Right, exactly. So... Well, it's usually the op-ed section, right? So it's not the actual newspaper, but it's the opinion section. Right, right, right. But still, I agree with you. Yeah, it's like, so why? Why do it?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Why have an op-ed section? Have another newspaper? You know, have a whole new thing that's op-ed and separate the two. That would win back the trust a little bit. We do need to win back the trust in the media. But I'll tell you one guy who's not thinking about all this right now is just a man
Starting point is 00:36:02 who found a $20 bill on the floor and he ain't hurting right now is just a man who found a $20 bill on the floor. And he ain't hurting right now. Actually, it's the third quarter 2024. America's economy is looking good. By the by the metrics, things are on the upswing. But generally people, you know,, a lot of people are struggling. But this guy isn't right now. Just, it was just his day. What a day. You find a 20 on the ground, he probably goes, dude, why not?
Starting point is 00:36:38 You would think that, nobody would think like, this is as lucky as I'm gonna get today. I found $20. He took that $20. This blows my mind It's almost like it was meant to be it was almost like it was coded into The matrix to like this $20 will win you the lotto if you use it on the lotto, right? First of all who drops $20? You never see $20 on the ground. It's always a dollar never seen a 20
Starting point is 00:37:03 So he found the 20 and then he used it to buy a $1 million winning lottery ticket and he wins. This guy doubled down. He doubled down on his luck. He doubled down at the tables. Now what was interesting to me about the story too was how little of the money you get. He walked away with like 400 plus thousand. Well he took a lump sum. He took a lump sum
Starting point is 00:37:29 as opposed to what? So you get more if you get it doled out? They pay you yearly. Yeah. So you can take the lump sum, it'll be less, but you still get banged out with taxes. You get banged out with taxes no matter what. No matter what. Yeah. But if you take the lump sum, you get less than the full price. Right. So he took the less for the full, because I get it, because he's 56. He's like, what am I gonna do?
Starting point is 00:37:53 So whenever they say it's a 1 million or $10 million lotto, it's not really that. You get less than half of that if you take the lump sum. So 600 just goes to the government, 600 plus. He's heading straight to the golden corral and he's gonna eat everything they got.
Starting point is 00:38:14 So that's what he said. He took a lump payment of 600 and- I would definitely do this. So check it out. Yeah. 600 or $50,000 a year. Ooh, you're taking the 600. You're taking the 600.
Starting point is 00:38:33 You're taking the 600, especially when you're 56. Yeah. Yeah. Put that right into Bitcoin. Yeah. So after that, his take-home winnings were 429. So why is that? Taxes, dude.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Uncle Sam. Taxes on the 600, what happened to the other 400? They take that right off the top. Oh, they take that off the top and say, oh, you won't take it for $50 a year until it's fulfilled? Right. You get two options. You get the 50K a year or you get 600 off the top.
Starting point is 00:38:58 That's bullshit. That is such bullshit. First they rob everybody by giving everyone like a 0.001 chance to win this thing. And then when you do win it, they just take most of your money. It's really crazy. It's not $1 million prize.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It's less than half of that. A little more than half. No, 429. Well, that's after taxes. But the walk away, the 600K is a little more than half. No, 429. Well, that's after taxes, but the walk away, the 600K is a little more than half. Why are they taking taxes? Dude, government takes. They take taxes.
Starting point is 00:39:33 They take taxes, that's what they do. That's what they do. So it's the highest amount available to win and according to North Carolina education, the odds of winning, like I said, are one in freaking 2,017,650. So, you know what? You get that 429, you're going like, whatever, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:54 What? 429's not bad. It's not bad. He puts that in the bank. I'm finding a $20 bill on the street. Yeah, but he's going to spend the whole thing at the Golden Corral. So, that's what he's gonna do.
Starting point is 00:40:05 He's getting, lucky day for him, not so lucky for maybe one of the biggest Medicare scams by a doctor in American history. People love doing crime. They just like it. Sometimes they're just into it. And this gentleman is a doctor in North Texas, and the law finally caught up to him. And what I could only assume is a story that represents a lot of what happens in our country. A lot of fake screenings, a lot of fake tests he was ordering, and he got caught. He got caught in Texas. So this guy was sentenced for, are you holding your pants? This doctor,
Starting point is 00:40:59 fifty-four million dollars. A fifty-four million dollar Medicare fraud scheme. He got 10 years. The more money you steal, the less time you do. You ever notice? These big guys, he was ordered to pay over 30 more, 34 million in restitution, which means he lived with 20 million for, is it worth it? Would you give up 10 years to have 20 million for God knows how long he's been pulling this off? Right, that's right. It's a good way to look at it. We don't even know how much he really has. You don't know how much he really has.
Starting point is 00:41:31 He's gotta do 10 years now. He'll probably get out what? So let's say you're 30, you're a doctor, you're 30. You do 30 to 40 in jail, but then you're 40 with $20 million. Yeah, because where's that other 20? Yeah. Yeah. So he was prescribing durable medical equipment
Starting point is 00:41:49 in cancer genetic testing without seeing, speaking to, or otherwise treating patients. He was just writing to. Now the reason why I like this story is because stories like this pop up once in a while, and you know, with our healthcare system, nobody ever talks about the doctors roles in this Because we always assume doctors are great people they're helping us and most of them are like cops
Starting point is 00:42:13 But there's some really bad doctors out there who are driving up prices on Insurance companies like crazy and then that ends up hitting us in the pocket because the doctors do like to have multiple boats. Is that wrong? Am I misinterpreting anything? I don't know, I don't think doctors have boats. I know two doctors, they're not rich. Well, the one doctor you know is a goody goody. Very good.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Yeah, so that doesn't count. And the other one probably doesn't count because he's friends with you. You're incapable of being friends with dirtbags. The only doctors that have boats are the plastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons, yeah, titty jobs, titty job guys. That's right. No, a lot of doctors have boats.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Your general practitioner, you know, you got, I mean, they're not rolling in the dough. Yeah, but you know, they do, they have the ability to just write prescriptions. That's true. They just can write prescriptions. And I guess insurance does do investigations, right? Well, you got definitely have, this guy's just a crook.
Starting point is 00:43:11 This guy, yeah, how long do you get away with it? Is there more to the article? Let's see. But do doctors do that sometimes, what I'm saying? Do they run up prices sometimes? You know who does it? The hospitals do that. Hospitals really do it.
Starting point is 00:43:31 He's 54, so he got away with it probably for a long time. So he gets out when he's 64? Yeah. With some money lying around? He gets out, yeah. They were targeted by telemarketing campaigns and health fairs. They were induced to submit to the cancer genetic testing
Starting point is 00:43:50 and receive the DME regardless of medical necessity. So he was ordering tests for people who didn't need it just to get the money. I mean, this is just straight fraud. Yeah, this is just fraud. And he got legitimately, legitimately orders, this orders he signed legitimately were used to submit
Starting point is 00:44:12 more than 54 million in false and fraudulent claims to Medicare. And he totaled 466,000 in kickbacks. So he's probably not the only one who was benefiting from this. Hats off, it's crime. It's crime. Just crime. It's a little greed, little crime. Cut a couple corners. Some people just have that in them. They can just do it. And he got away with it. And that's what it is. But I don't know if it was a bigger crime
Starting point is 00:44:45 than the statue of Dwyane Wade in Miami, which might be the biggest crime ever. Not as bad as the Ronaldo statue that made him look completely Franks and Beans. But the Dwyane Wade statue, it just really, it looks nothing like Dwyane Wade, and it looks like he's pointing his crotch and saying, it's burning down there.
Starting point is 00:45:08 It's so horrible, dude. They can't get these statues right. What's the matter? I don't know. The Jordan statue is amazing. Yeah. And the Shaq statue is incredible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:21 You know, it's cause it's that iconic pose of Shaq, right? Where he's like hanging on the rim. Yeah. And the Jordan pose, which is the logo. Yeah. You know, it's cause it's that iconic pose of Shaq, right? Where he's like hanging on the rim. Yeah. And the Jordan pose, which is the logo. Yeah. Those are amazing statues. Yeah. This is horrendous.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Have you ever seen the Ronaldo one? Yes, yeah. They actually had to redo the head of the Ronaldo. They had to redo that. So this one just doesn't look anything like Dwayne Wade. No, the face is all off. He looks like a monster. Yeah, he looks like just an angry monster.
Starting point is 00:45:44 So what's going on? Is he upset about this? He stands by it. I think he's trying to be a nice guy. Yeah, he stands by everything now that he's got a trans kid. He's kind about everything. If you made an ugly statue, Barclay said, that's what it would look like.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That thing is awful. Anyway, let me look at it when you see it that way. It's so bad. It's so bad when you see the full thing. It's so bad. They're gonna have to redo this. They made him look like a zombie. Really, dude?
Starting point is 00:46:20 It looks like, yeah, like a zombie, like walking dead. It's really, really horrible. It's really bad. So this is supposed to be from an iconic moment where... He was like, it's my house? It's a, he hit a buzzer beater shot to beat the Bulls in double overtime in 2009. I was wondering that.
Starting point is 00:46:41 So it is a moment that they try to capture. Yeah, well, they didn't do a good job They should have hired you to do it Don't a better job with that just brutal and finally Animals are getting drunk, bro Animals are getting drunk So that's good also in medical news I just want to say there's no there's nothing funny here or anything like that
Starting point is 00:47:02 But they're they're they're this close to figuring out how to regrow heart tissue and lung tissue So pretty crazy. So good things are happening but Studies have found that animals get drunk more often than you think dude. They get a fermented fruit and grain They get drunk It's far more common in the national world. That would be funny if like a lot of the zoologists are watching these animals and recording their behavior and they're just hammered and they're like, wow these pigmies really, these pigmy chimps like to bang a lot. Dude, they are hammered. They got
Starting point is 00:47:42 beer goggles the whole time. What you're missing is they're eating these fruits and these fruits are fermented like the grapes and they're just getting drunk. Maybe that's why pygmy chimps are so promiscuous. Maybe that's why they're so peaceful is because they're hammered. And maybe it doesn't have the same effect on us because when you're drunk, you either bang or you fight
Starting point is 00:48:02 and they bang. So it's present in virtually every environment. Most fruit eating and nectar sipping animals likely consume and get wasted. Dude, they're getting drunk. Cause ethanol is in the fruit, bearing plants, and for ages, fallen fruit hits the surface and the fruit itself converts sugar into alcohol. Rotting fruit can smell a bit like beer or wine and then maybe they go and get it and
Starting point is 00:48:42 nobody's been noticing that these animals are probably eating a little bit and then maybe they go and get it and nobody's been noticing that these animals are probably they're probably eating a little bit and then going let's have let's have an uh a dessertif a little a little wine to finish it off which is very nice so it's good to know we're not the only ones to get hammered right so animals also enjoy alcohol and i bet you this election they will be drinking just as much as the rest of us will be drinking to get through this week.
