Overview

This episode of Side Stories opens with the hosts catching up after a week-long break, sharing their vacation tales and reflecting on the macabre, the conspiratorial, and the absurdity of current events. The major theme is a blend of crime news, dark comedy, and skepticism, with deep dives into the overturned conviction of Alex Murdaugh, the recent government “UAP dump,” crime cruise virus scares, bizarre news stories, and pop culture oddities.

Hosts’ Spring Break Recap

[01:02 – 08:13]

• Henry trekked to the Grand Canyon with his ancient dog Tootsie, shared stories about Sedona’s crystal culture and “vortex pens,” and attended a Santana concert in Vegas—ending in a hilariously underwhelming “VIP” experience.
• Marcus visited his father’s grave in Florida, only to discover the cemetery was closed for Mother's Day.
  • "The one thing the military does is fill cemeteries. And we cannot access...on Mother's Day." – Marcus [03:43]
• The hosts riff on the surreal, morbid, and awkward moments of family trips, including unwanted sales pitches and grumpy travelers.

---

Ebola & Hantavirus on the High Seas

[08:13 – 13:14]

• Marcus and Henry satirically announce the “Ebola virus has been named ambassador to Guam,” referencing legitimate concerns about recent Ebola and Hantavirus cases linked to cruise ships.
  • "But I think it's okay, because the best part about it is that you die fast." – Marcus [08:53]
• The conversation turns into a comedic promo for their “Crime Wave at Sea” cruise. They lampoon competing cruise lines, using over-the-top horror and crime references (“Carnival Cruises, they'll make you rape and kill your sister… that’s what happens on Carnival Cruises” – Henry [11:25]).
• Key Point: Royal Caribbean, they assure, is clean (with a wink).
• Memorable moment: Henry jokes, “If you want to get sick from rat, you're gonna have to bring it yourself.” [12:47]

Alex Murdaugh: Trial Overturn and Southern Ego

[15:22 – 26:32]

• Main story: Alex Murdaugh’s murder conviction overturned in South Carolina due to misconduct by clerk Becky Hill, who influenced the jury and sought to sell a book.
  • “Becky Hill, that was the county clerk...she said, when you listen to Alec Murdoch talk, you don’t take a word of his seriously.” – Marcus [21:02]
• The hosts criticize Hill’s “busybody” antics and the old Southern arrogance ruling the justice system.
• Henry: “You can kill…your dumpy wife and shitty liability son and…leave your just dumb enough son alive to…do crimes for you.” [22:14]
• Marcus: “He gets to serve 40 years in a white-collar prison…he loves prison. He lives off fucking Capri Sun and honey buns.” [23:13]
• The hosts lampoon Murdaugh’s persona, family legacy, and likely retrial, predicting little substantive change.

---

UAP (UFO) Government Disclosure Dump

[26:38 – 37:16]

• Marcus reviews the US government’s May 8 release of UAP files, expressing both excitement and deep skepticism.
  • “I’m going to call it condescending…Because of the font, the web design…They’ve made it to look like it’s the X Files.” [28:05]
• Henry presses for any “alien selfie with a general”—no luck.
• Highlights:
  • Apollo mission photos with weird sky anomalies are mentioned as truly interesting, suggesting something (if not aliens, then at least historical official weirdness). [31:51]
  • The dump is well-organized but seemingly meant to distract the public—possibly “to distract from another shitstorm.”
  • “We have seen these types of videos over and over again,” Marcus notes, questioning if we’re seeing the whole truth. [35:04]
• The hosts speculate, mythologize, and reflect on the persistent mystery: Are the UAPs real, and why is disclosure packaged like a sci-fi movie?

---

Epstein’s Neighborhood & Crime Legacy

[37:41 – 44:09]

• Discussion shifts to a Rolling Stone article about Epstein’s childhood in Seagate, Brooklyn, a place plagued by child molesters—including familial abuse stories bridging to Epstein’s later crimes.
  • “Apparently, within the Seagate neighborhood, there were seven child molesters in this one area.” – Marcus [41:51]
• Henry and Marcus riff on the “treasure trove” cliché and reflect cynically on how abuse cycles breed new predators.
• The segment is grim, funny, and philosophical in signature Last Podcast style.

    • “How can he…be fired for insider trading? Fired? He’s going to prison.” – Henry [45:35]
• Sports & Doping:
  • Debate over “Enhanced Games” for HGH-fueled athletes, the wild world of steroid use in sports, and the cult of “destroying your body for entertainment” (arm wrestling, bodybuilding).

• Zoomer Music & Social Media:
  • Henry and Marcus discuss the disconnect between previous generations’ music consumption and Gen Z’s aesthetic/algorithm-driven tastes.
    • “They hear snippets of maybe old songs then think that it’s a brand new song…” – Marcus [61:12]
    • “We're in a period right now…your fandoms mean who you are.” [61:38]
  • Recommendations, reluctant admiration for new talent, and bittersweet optimism for future creative “kickbacks.”

Tone and Approach

• Dark humor and sharp satire run through every segment, with the hosts finding the absurdity and horror in both the mundane and the headline-grabbing.

• Attribution: Marcus and Henry alternate between info dumps, side jokes, and character impressions, often switching rapidly and playing off one another’s A.D.D.-style banter.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is the last on the left side stories.

[Marcus Parks]

That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. We had a little bit of a week off guys. Just so you know, you might not notice that because things work here like an oiled machine. You wouldn't even know that we had a week off. But we did have a week off and I think it's great that you brought your 19 year old dog to the Grand Canyon.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I got this mug now.

[Marcus Parks]

I think that's great. I'm glad that they stood the Canyon.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Sell that?

[Marcus Parks]

No. Does the Canyon have a square?

[Henry Zebrowski]

The national park store in the Canyon holds it.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, so there's a middleman.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There's a middleman. So but the general store it's called

[Marcus Parks]

you bring just sort of. You brought the dog to the biggest hole in the the whole world.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. And it didn't fall or nothing. I perched her up there, I put her on a blanket and she didn't jump. I put her little. She's got a cute little like jean jacket, a little pink jean jacket. And I put that on her even though it's really hot and she probably shouldn't have had the jacket on her but we took a picture and she looked very cute and still alive.

[Marcus Parks]

She looked only one seizure on the

[Henry Zebrowski]

whole week long road trip.

[Marcus Parks]

I will say I'm really happy for you guys. You all look happy. Tootsie herself looked like the ghost of someone who died in Buchenwald. But otherwise than that, it looked like a lovely vacation. I went to absolutely perfect Las Vegas.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

And because I originally went to Florida to go see my father's grave, I

[Henry Zebrowski]

didn't want to bring it up, but I really wanted to bring it up.

[Marcus Parks]

I have to.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Have to. So we went to Florida to go look at my father's grave. Because.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Why not?

[Marcus Parks]

It's vacation. Don't know. Because we got to Florida, drove the hour to the military cemetery.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Could have picked one closer.

[Marcus Parks]

But there is the only one close to the Mangiano's. Yes. That's why my mom chose it. Not even a joke. She chose it because it was close to the Maggiano's that we never even went to because the family voted against it last minute.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Publix is great fried chicken.

[Marcus Parks]

No, we wanted to go to a real Italian experiment.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Experience.

[Marcus Parks]

I meant experience. It's an Italian experiment. It's Maggiano's. And so we went to drive to this military encampment where my father is interred below a picture of Donald. Donald Trump giving a fucking British salute. The space force insignia. And I. We got there and we drove there and it was fucking closed on Mother's Day.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's like. It's so crazy.

[Marcus Parks]

The cemetery was closed a day to honor mothers. The one thing the military does is fill cemeteries. And we cannot access the military. We can't access it on Mother's Day. The one day you think that, yeah, obviously they're trying to get rid of a lot of the mothers. And I also thought that that is tr too is apparently Hegseth did when I actually really agree with. They've been going through and they've been looking for the LGBT people that are in any of these military, like these cemeteries. And they're digging them up and they're throwing them into the river to be eaten by a bunch of alligators. And I think that. That maybe that's what they were in the middle of. I feel like that that's probably.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Probably did have big breasts.

[Marcus Parks]

I mean, we. That's where they come from. And so maybe he was a victim of them de queering the military cemeteries. I'm not certain. I'm not certain.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It just shows the lac respect for

[Marcus Parks]

women so deep at the military that they close the cemetery as if mothers don't die.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

They're locked in there. Yeah. There's mothers in there. There's mothers dying to get in. We wanted it open on Father's Day. Exactly. I Bet you have. I bet you they charge. I bet you there's a cover to go in on Father's Day so you could see the Steely Dan Coverman raised by wolves. It's normal.

[Ed Larson]

Over.

[Marcus Parks]

Molly Goodheads. Go check them out. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Palm.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So you had a good time in Florida?

[Marcus Parks]

No. Welcome to side Stories. My name is Henry Zabrowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's right. Yeah. So I went to the Grand Canyon. Sedona. Beautiful crystal place. I learned a lot about crystals when I was in Sedona. Yeah, apparently, the bigger crystal you buy, the dumber you are.

[Marcus Parks]

He's correct. It's a direct formula. That's called moron algebra. And then. Yeah, because guess what? It doesn't do anything.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Although I will say we did. We went to one of those vortexes and the guy who brought us had one of those vortex pens.

[Marcus Parks]

And explain again. So the idea is that it's like magnets.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's a magnet pen, but it's not magnetic to anything.

[Marcus Parks]

And those of you who remember Sedona, Arizona, if you've ever been there, talk about the woo woo capital of the GD universe.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, yeah. No, it definitely is. I had a great time there. I can't believe how beautiful it was. I was ready to move there.

[Marcus Parks]

But what is the vortex?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Got this little vortex pen, you know, and he. And he did it to Tootsie. And then literally, she started eating. She wasn't eating. And then, like, he did it to her, and she's like, I'm hungry.

[Marcus Parks]

So, you know, you're at the Zapper with magnets every morning. That she could want to live. Honestly.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Honestly, I think I need to start magnetizing her.

[Marcus Parks]

Does that make her a Juggalo?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do you know what did happen to me, though, when we went to Vegas? I went and met you in Vegas. We had a great time. Thank you for hosting that pool party.

[Marcus Parks]

You're such a gentleman. Pure, pure, pure Vegas. Nothing wrong with Vegas.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But afterwards, I treated Julie and I to Santana. I was like, I've never seen Santana. I'm going to the House of Blues.

[Marcus Parks]

Julie was just so wet. She was so surprising. Yeah, she loves it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

She loves Santana. It's your wife that hates all stuff.

[Marcus Parks]

She does.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. Julie loves all the dad stuff.

[Marcus Parks]

No, she. Well, she's grown a taste for it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Because she makes love to you. She's a real Midwest woman. You. Making love to you is the equivalent of making love to a guy that runs sound for most of these Bands.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Every time you make love to me, samba PTI plays in your ears.

[Marcus Parks]

And every time he shits, you hear.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I don't know the real words, but yeah. So I went to Santana, and I was like, you know what? We're on vacation. I'm buying the upgrade. And so I buy the upgrade. House of Blues, Mandalay Bay. I buy the upgrade. We get to go to the VIP club.

[Marcus Parks]

Be jealous.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm like, yeah, Julie, we're going the VIP club. We're gonna be a Santana. You're gonna have the best time. Vip. I show show my ticket to the VIP club. They're like, we don't know what this is. And I was like, oh, okay, that's fine. So he gets. For afterwards. I was like, oh, okay. So there's a party afterwards.

[Marcus Parks]

It's where? Nursing home.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It was literally at the bar next to the House of Blues, and they were playing EDM music, and they gave me a drink ticket for a well drink.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I was the. And Julie and I were the only people there, and I was just like, you know, this sucks.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, dude. You know, I feel like that's the reason why. You remember. You remember. Remember the time I saw Santana at that Goodwill?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

You.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You creep shotted him. Yeah, yeah, I saw Santana at a Goodwill. Maybe that's why he was looking for hats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess. Yeah, yeah, he saw him there. Henry sent me a creep shot of Sant. Well, that was our.

[Marcus Parks]

It was so good. It was kind of. It was one of my first big LA sightings. I was like, santana at the Goodwill. LA is amazing. All right, guys, we have a lot of news to get to. That was a little bit of our spring break update. But that's not the only update we have, because first of all, big news. Want to give big congratulations. The Ebola virus has been named ambassador to Guam, and we are extremely excited for their work over in Guam. For those of you you don't know, the World Health Organization right now is saying that there is a worrying spreading infection of Ebola. But I think it's okay, because the best part about it is that you die fast. Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so wonderful, man. I say smoke that.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes. Like that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Broom up.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Throwing the ball, dude. No.

[Marcus Parks]

That's why we die.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. I miss Zika.

[Marcus Parks]

Dude, we don't miss.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I miss Z. Where I want Zika back.

[Marcus Parks]

Where's my tiny head?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Pieces of.

[Marcus Parks]

All right.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. It's all. So. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

We have a little bit of an. Of so just so you Again, we've been kind of covering a little bit of this as we were talking about because.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Let me take you on a true crime cruise, right?

[Marcus Parks]

Did we do it?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, that's enough.

[Marcus Parks]

All right, cool. So this is our reminder. Go over [e-mail] left because that's where we're going to get tickets for our adventure on the cruise. And none of this happens here. So hantavirus is spreading by cruises right now, right? There's over 28 specific strains of hantavirus. There's old ones, there's new ones. And we're looking at is a very specific strain that jumped from an animal to a man. Now for those of you looking out, just know that you get a flu like symptom for a while, right? Then fluid rapidly fills the lungs, the condition, then eventually you die, right? You start to fudgeing, you drown in your own spit, right? It eats up your lungs and your, and your heart, right? And that Death ranges from 36 to 50% based upon infection. Like and how bad your infection is and how long you have it before you can get the. They have a vaccine for it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, that's nice.

[Marcus Parks]

So you can get something, here's medicine for it. But it's out there and it's. And it's hard and it's kind of been dotting around the world as it's being, being released by these cruises. But guess who's doing it?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Gene Hackman's wife.

[Marcus Parks]

I wish she died too fast. That's what she wanted to do. She wanted to cause these problems. But she died too fast because she didn't work hard enough and drink enough water. All right, everybody else is fine, but I want you. We're gonna guess what, we get to blame the Dutch. Oh, this is a Dutch. This is a Dutch problem, y'. All. So Ocean Wide Expeditions, that's the name of the cruising company that is spreading this around.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We're not Royal Caribbean.

[Marcus Parks]

Never Royal Caribbean, they wouldn't do that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We wouldn't be associated.

[Marcus Parks]

So I want to remind you of that. Royal Caribbean has not had a single case of hantavirus. Not a single case of Ebola virus. It is the cleanest virus free boat you've ever been on in your life. She go to [e-mail] left. Because we still have like four or five cabins left.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, Carnival Cruises, they're gonna kill you.

[Marcus Parks]

They'll kill your sister. Yeah, they'll make, they'll make you rape and kill your sister.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's what happens on Carnival.

[Marcus Parks]

That's what happens on Carnival Cruises.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Not Royal Caribbean.

[Marcus Parks]

Never in a thousand years. That's why they're called the Royal Caribbean. Because they are treat you like a queen and queenie queen.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You know, the. The color of royalty is purple, but they chose blue for some reason.

[Marcus Parks]

It's also the color of a swollen

[Henry Zebrowski]

sack of balls, which is on Royal Caribbean. There's plenty of that.

[Marcus Parks]

Cool. You'll believe me, especially if you're seeing me. All right. We got that. Another update.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Obviously worry about that, though.

[Marcus Parks]

What?

[Henry Zebrowski]

They're already. They already. They're cleaning the. The hantavirus ship and they're shipping it back out.

[Marcus Parks]

Just remember they are cleaning the hantavirus ship and they're sending it back.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Closing it down. Yeah. They threw a bunch of Purell on it and everything's fine.

[Marcus Parks]

I'm status.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

Like now I know everybod really upset and really nervous and it sounds kind of. It sounds bad, right? Sounds bad. It's like a hantavirus. We have RFK Jr in charge, who is. Sounds like rocks falling downhill. We have. You know, we can't do anything about that. We. You know, the Ebola virus is spreading. But I think what's important to remember is once you're on the cruise and you have that drink package, all life goes away.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It does.

[Marcus Parks]

And it's a layaway adventure. You could put it. You could pay a little bit at a time. Right. And you getting them freshly cleaned.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's right.

[Marcus Parks]

That's when you want to get in on at a cruise is when they've already had a big health scare.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. If you want to get sick from rat, you're gonna have to bring it yourself.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

All right. So you're gonna have to take. If you want to get sick, you want hauntavirus. Unreal Caribbean. Pack up your rat, put it in your luggage, start popping them. Start popping them when you get on there. And then by the end of it, it's a haunt of virus.

[Marcus Parks]

And guess what? You get free cruises for life.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's right. Because you'll be haunting the cruise with your haunted virus.

[Marcus Parks]

And how huge is that? You get to be permanently on cruise as your ghost. So that's big news. Definitely got to come check us out. Crime wave at sea. Because that is. But I'm not even joking. It's the best vacation you're gonna have outside of. Outside of the journey of death. This podcast is brought to you by Squarespace.

so please come join us in Crime Wave at Sea. But we have many other updates. Another update. So obviously this came out on Wednesday, the day after we had put out our episode last week. Yeah, because why not? This is what we do here. We love when the episodes come out before the biggest news of the week. You know why it's almost like we

[Henry Zebrowski]

plan it that way.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, we do actually Eddie, take that back. We do because it does give me time to sit and reflect. So don't have to just scream. Right. There's sometimes kind of help. It does help because when I first saw this, obviously when I first saw this news, I screamed.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I literally yelled I'm on vacation.

[Marcus Parks]

That is literally. I was like, leave me alone. Leave me alone. But now looks like his skittering and a skankering. A little skittering.

[Ed Larson]

A skankering.

[Marcus Parks]

All right. Seems to have worked for Alec Murdoch because it seems that he has gotten his trial appealed badly.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I've got my. My trial's been appealed badly.

[Marcus Parks]

So those who don't know our high pitched Eric fat boy Alec Murdoch has the. He is a murderer. I don't fucking care. Yes, he has been. So far his murder conviction has been overturned by a South Carolina court. Now the reason why it has is because of one Bitch.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Bitch. I can't believe her. I can't believe she pled guilty.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, yes. It is because of one person.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Lock this bitch.

[Marcus Parks]

I cannot believe it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Everything. Becky Hill.

[Marcus Parks]

Becky Hill, that was the county clerk and the court that was working under for the Murdoch trial. And what she did, which is what a thing I just had happen to me in Florida. I mean, come with me on this and I'm gonna explain how this all ties together.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

So I was on my plane to Florida, Okay. And I was saying, yes, I don't want to be here. Right. I'm unhappy. Not feel, not don't want to do.

[Henry Zebrowski]

First day of vacation, you're gonna go look at a rock that has your father's name on it.

[Marcus Parks]

I'm just kind of. I'm just feeling sad.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, right.

[Marcus Parks]

But I'm saying I'm gonna take this. I'm gonna be cool. Right. I got upgraded to first class because I didn't want to pay for anything crazy. Right. On my way to my father's grave. But I got upgraded and I said, oh, there must be Valhalla looking out for me. Right? Sit in the front row Delta looking out for you.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Which a diamond status. Every time Henry goes to the airport, they get so happy.

[Marcus Parks]

They do. That's the only time they're happy to see me. And so I go to stand up to go to the bathroom. The man next to me is an old man that is obviously a boss of many people. Refuses to stand up for me to go to the bathroom. I say, hey, it's okay. He's like, you can get around me is what he says. I say, listen, I just need you to. This is difficult. And he's like, like, you can get around me. So first time I do try to climb around him, it was very difficult. I climbed back over him to go to sit down, go back and sit down again. I get back up, go to the bathroom again. He refuses to Stand up. So what, what do I do? I put my ass directly into his laptop and I knock it off the table. Hell yeah. Because you won't stand up. We're starting in a bit of a. Then we get into a bit of a one on one where he's just like, why did you just do that? I said, because you computer on the floor.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, that's fighting. Yes, it is.

[Marcus Parks]

And then he said. I said. Because then was saying, I'll let this flight land early.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You said that to him?

[Marcus Parks]

I was saying, I was like, I don't care what happens. So that was the first thing. We kind of settled it out, right? We settled it out. Then we get on the train. We get on the the train. A guy goes and he puts the. We get on the train to go to the rental car. Guy goes into his carry on waiting for the rental car. This is in Florida. Puts the maga hat on, starts going, what are you guys going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? To a train of people, right?

[Ed Larson]

So they're.

[Marcus Parks]

That's the third. Second. Third. I go to the shitty little hotel where I'm staying so I don't have to be in my mother's full on under her breasts, right? So I go to the hotel, I go, hey, excuse me, can I sign up for the. You know, it's like, oh, the old man there, it's like, oh, Hilton honors. You got to sign up for it. I said, actually, I'm good. I'm kind of in a rush. I'm trying to get over Bonvoy members.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You piece of.

[Marcus Parks]

Trying to make me be a true waiter. I then said, no, it's okay. He's like, do you understand what you get when to do this? You're gonna get all. You're gonna get X. You're gonna get what you're gonna get

[Henry Zebrowski]

to sign up for.

[Marcus Parks]

And I said, honestly, thank you for letting me know, but seriously, I'm good. I just, I gotta go get over my mom's house. He's like, you know, I can't really let you not sound. It's like, it's easy to do. It's easy. I was like, seriously, man. I'm like, no, I just don't. I'm good, I'm good. He's like, like, you know, it's almost instant. Like I could go. And then finally I'm like, you're obviously going to do whatever the hell it is you want to do, right? You're obviously just going to. This is your favorite Thing in the world is to hook people up with the Hilton honors. So I guess have your thrill, man.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right.

[Marcus Parks]

So I, I yell at the man. All of this is to say, all of this is to say this is,

[Henry Zebrowski]

this is, is connected to Alex Murdoch.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes. This all comes back.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay, this comes back around 2.

[Marcus Parks]

There are southern old Southern fucks that believe that they know everything and they believe that they are correct about everything and that what they do is better and what they know is better simply because they haven't been shot in the head by their kids yet.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right.

[Marcus Parks]

And so Becky Hill, what she did in her mother like way because they're all these this same busy bodied morons who said to the jury that she said, when you listen to Alec Murdoch talk, you don't take a, a word of his seriously. You don't even look at him. All right? He's a liar. He's a liar.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right?

[Marcus Parks]

And you didn't do. Because she wanted to sell a book

[Henry Zebrowski]

when they were doing deliberations, she literally said this shouldn't take us long.

[Marcus Parks]

Yep. And that they, they, they, she pressured the jury. She then said she showed pictures of evidence to her friends and she did also because she wanted to write a book because obviously she knew better than everybody else. And then she overturned his fucking. The millions of dollars that the state spent. The millions of dollars all and the hours and the time spent. And now this case is in the trash. Because guess where Alec Murdoch gets to go and do his appeal from, from jail. Because guess what? They won't take off his financial crimes. Because guess what's the only thing that matters in the United States if you steal money from the government?

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's right. You can kill your whole family.

[Marcus Parks]

You can kill your whole family.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, not your whole family. Buster's still farting the bad ones.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, you can kill the bat where you can kill, you can kill your dumpy wife and you can kill your shitty liability son and you can leave your just dumb enough son alive so that he can continue to do crimes for you from inside of jail.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This man's, he's a career lawyer who comes from a family of fucking county commissioners. His is, one of his lawyers was a senator.

[Marcus Parks]

You can't around you are. And they just like you can't make

[Henry Zebrowski]

one mistake in any place or this

[Ed Larson]

is exactly what's gonna happen.

[Marcus Parks]

It's the same homespun ego that you see over and over and over again. If she just shut her mouth, she'd be gone. But now he's serving 40 years, but he gets to serve 40 years on a white collar prison. And that's this whole thing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The reason why took away the violent charge.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes, they're taking. He is still in prison. We know Alec Murdoch loves prison. That is not even exaggeration. We know that he got lives off

[Henry Zebrowski]

of fucking Capri sun and honey buns.

[Marcus Parks]

Literally. So he is used to commissary food. He ran everybody like he running. He's running the yard.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

People love him. He figured it out immediately.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, I'm sure. He's selling cigarettes and all this.

[Marcus Parks]

And then now he gets to spend the next two years preparing for this retrial. Going in and out. He gets to go to the library, he gets to go to court, he gets to get his hair cut. He gets to wear his nice clothes. He gets to have all the wonderful things that he gets to have during appeal because he's not a convicted murderer.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do you think that it is a little bit of punishment for him to sit there and lie about killing his family again?

[Marcus Parks]

No, that's. He loves doing that. That's his fucking. That's the only thing he ever did before. He loves doing that. Him lying on the stand and him lying in general is what he's done his whole life. It's his very lifeblood. It is his every is. It's his every passion is lying.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

And stealing that. It's the only thing he likes to do is lie, steal, drink Capri suns and eat oxycontins. Yeah. That's the only thing he likes. And without his oxycontin.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He likes oyster as well.

[Marcus Parks]

Hey, who doesn't? And that's the most human part of them.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Because nothing I love better. Even people were saying about a crap one of the. An oyster bake. I still haven't had one of those. But he recently we just had. When I was over in Raku in Vegas. I went and had this wonderful oyster with caviar on top of it. That, that was really good. But he. The only caviar he's gonna get is the little pieces of. Of that are inside the butthole of another man that he's forcing him to eat at night when he makes him toss his salad. All right. That's the only thing, the only caviar that Alec Murdoch should get piece of. Well, well, you know, but honestly it'll be. He'll be struggle. He's going to. There's going to be an appeal. They're going to do a full on retrial. It's going to waste everybody's Time and money. And he's going to be found guilty again.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Also, if he is just now, if it's acquitted all of a sudden, how come he's not screaming, let's go find the murderer?

[Marcus Parks]

Because he's the murderer.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

And because if he was, let's go find the murderer. He'd be like, where's that?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, I need to find. I can find out where he is. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, it's me.

[Marcus Parks]

I was doing such a deep and dark.

[Ed Larson]

I was doing such a deep and dark. Very thorough, very thorough investigation. And next thing I know, as I follow the clues, I went down right here and I found. Oh, is there a mgsy Capri Sun? Oh, that looks familiar. And over here. Empty honey bun case. Oh, I look familiar too. Oh, it's my favorite gun. That's my least favorite wife. Oh, my God.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Double tap her.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, better. Because she'll come back. She'll come back like Jason Voorhees. I have to make sure to fucking pepper her with AK47 bolts. Cause she. She could come back like Jason Voorhees. And my dumb son. My dumb son came so glad I

[Marcus Parks]

sent him to hell.

[Ed Larson]

Not only I sent him to hell. I got my good tall buster. Got my tool good. I'm having a good time. I'm doing great dominoes. I'm ch. Honestly, I'm gonna be. I'm be Muslim very soon.

[Marcus Parks]

He's gonna be great Muslim.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He would be because he would look so good in a bow tie.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, my God. Him with the shaved head and a little hat, the little fans. Oh, my God. He would go like. That would be amazing. Please go Islam. Oh, with the face tattoo.

[Ed Larson]

Best. Remember all my fallen soldiers.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, we. I feel like there's another thing we got to talk about. We spent enough time on this piece of. He's still gonna stay. He's still gonna die in prison.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It just sucks that he's like, not gonna die in prison, you know, the

[Marcus Parks]

way we want it to be.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

All right.

[Henry Zebrowski]

All right. So there was a big alien drop.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes, there was.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And none of it really makes sense to me. And I was hoping you can help me out.

[Marcus Parks]

What is interesting is that on May 8, the United States government, which is now, I guess they're calling themselves the department of war. They.

[Henry Zebrowski]

When you're in six and under a year, it's, you know, easy to do do.

[Marcus Parks]

Can you call it war if all we do is lose? Like, I feel like on some level, like I feel like we should just call it something else. If all we do is is burn trillions of dollars.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Lose war. War.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh yeah, I know.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, you could lose. It's still a war. If you.

[Marcus Parks]

Maybe it's just the Department of Losing Wars. So the Department of Losing wars, they put out this new UAP dump. So where this seems to be is a feeble response to this. The idea of people want disclosure. And we saw what they did with the Jeffrey Epstein files. So with the Jeffrey Epstein files, about half of the 3 million.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Were loosely dumped onto the FOIA website in which you have to clumsily go through one by one by keyword each file. And we had actually then have web developers create shit that made it more easy to navigate stuff like epstein exposed.com yeah. J mail. We've, you know, we've covered these. But with this dump which they've been threatening, they've been talking about how they're going to do this big disclosure dump of all of these, this cache of files and videos. And what they did was release it on a website site that to be honest, I'm going to go as far as to say I'm going to call it condescending really because of the font, the web design, it's easily searchable and that what they've done is they've made it to look like it's the X Files. They did it with the. The conspiracy theory font and the green and the black. And they did this stuff as if you are making fun of me for even being interested in this technology because this is the only way this would be cool is if this was designed, signed by a monster energy drink. And these guys really believe that we're like a 90s. It does sci fi film and we're being made to kind of. I feel like I'm being talked to like an idiot by the government by in this way. But some of the stuff in it is interesting. There's a lot of documentation about, about essentially backing up the twine in memo which was essentially back in the day. There was an originally apparently an Air Force intelligence report that they did in 1947 that said all of these guys made a think tank and they basically said we have looked into this flying disk situation and we believe it is real and we believe that the ships are real and we believe that we are, we need to do. And we know that other things that were released in this dump are interesting too where they talk about the train of information that kind of hints at a hidden found UFO and it's in the right places, right it's at Wright Patterson. It's at these places where they specifically retrofit enemy military tech.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But there's no like, picture of like some general with a. His arm around an alien or anything like that.

[Marcus Parks]

Not a thing like that. So we. What has been released is a lot of stuff that for many people has been known for a long time. A lot of it is. And a lot of it unfortunately is not very much better. Better than what I put out on my mandate, which makes everybody angry. But I want to do. But I will show you. This is blips and bloops. And some of these blips and bloops are actually really compelling. This one.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So some of it you feel like is good.

[Marcus Parks]

I watched every video and the two I found were the one that we're looking at right now. This is the one I'll even describe to you. So this one is PR38. That's the one that I found. It's one of the videos. And what you're seeing here is a disc like, like craft.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It looks star.

[Marcus Parks]

It looks like a star. That is light bouncing off of it. That is what you'd call like a bouquet effect. That's like something that comes from the camera itself. So the disc is the middle is that line thing. Right. Whatever that thing is giving off a light of some sort.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's.

[Marcus Parks]

Or it's like. It's like a energy structure around it. Now what you're looking at this in this video is extremely interesting.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It has emissions.

[Marcus Parks]

It's. Well, there's like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There's a trail. So it has like, it has like. Looks like it's gas powered.

[Marcus Parks]

It does. Well, it's a vapor trail. It's. But Eddie, what you're not seeing is. Is the way that it is moving.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

That is not how a plane moves. No, it's moving like a weird, weird drone. Now this came from. I believe if you look at the description, Rob, this was from. Do you. Does this from the United Arab Emirates? Zua. This one was the Middle East. Yes. So all of this is stuff that they have sourced from military, essentially old school military reports that have been now vetted enough that these are now considered to be stripped of any important information that could compromise our missions over in the Middle east or in all these places. But they are like essentially saying these are the official sightings that the military said that they have had.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

And also what's interesting truly is the pictures of them on the moon. And so there is a series of pictures of the. I forgot which which there's a series of pictures of which Apollo mission. They're on the moon. They're taking like literal like photography pictures with a camera on their hands. And you could see this, like they're circling things in the sky or they're seeing weird flash. Like that was like one of the things that the astronauts and came out in this report that was interesting was saying like they would be on the surface of the moon, looking up and seeing like the world was just alive. Like everything was a lot. Like things were like moving the universe. The universe is like a lot 12 it looks like. Yes. And so this stuff that is really interesting that and I actually, I. I like all of this. This is the stuff that I was like. This is. It's compelling. I like the fact that they released the moon pictures because it shows that like we've have been to the moon officially point. And so you could see all these things out in the sky around the moon. That's very interesting. Before we were doing that much space, it was like, there's not that much debris in space for it to be reflecting in that way back then. Back then. So that's interesting. This one, Apollo 17 caught a triangle. Yes, it is very strange. It's really cool. Like, so those, those pictures are really cool. It's just who's doing it and why. This is the prop. So on one hand I am actually like, like, this is fun. I was like looking through on the plane, you know, like, I got there, I watched all the videos. I was like, oh yeah, this is fun. And I and like it. It does feel cool. It does feel like we're getting somewhere with it. But it's also my problem is that obviously this is done to distract from another. It's every other level distracting because they have no else. They have no idea how to do anything besides just distract. They have no idea how to fix a single thing or to complete a thing or to do a thing. They just know how to like throw stuff out at the. The shitstorm because they're all media people.

[Henry Zebrowski]

How do you compare this dump to the Epstein file dump?

[Marcus Parks]

Oh my God. This dump is so well organized and tracked and, and, and explained. And there's all this context and there. And there's all of these. And the government's like really has that whole preamble about the truth and has all this stuff and you like look at it. And that's the problem is that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do you think it's just because the FBI sucks or is it because. Do you think that was constructed no, this year.

[Marcus Parks]

No, no, no. You know, this was done. I. I'll my call again, fully. Just my opinion. He has been talking about doing this disclosure thing for about a month and a half now. Yeah, this could be built in that time.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

So I think that he came up with this idea that we're doing disclosure. And then the absolutely talentless villains that run the FBI and the Department of Losing wars, they came together with this idea of like. And then we'll hit him with like conspiracy theory stuff and we'll. We'll do it with the X Files like logo and we'll do it with the thought and stuff. So these guys can really see like how sci fi it is. Because they think we're idiots, obviously. Yeah, no, when I look at it, it's very. But I am thankful. But I do think it's more of the same. We have seen these types of videos

[Henry Zebrowski]

over and over again, but these are all new videos.

[Marcus Parks]

It is. But it is interesting that it's more of the same. Same.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So that might give all the other videos more credence.

[Marcus Parks]

It does to me, but I always had credence for the other ones. It's really just, what are they then? And that's the main issue. What we're seeing here now is the next level, which is, okay, great. What are they?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Do you think this is everything they got?

[Marcus Parks]

No, I think this is the. This is very palatable. And I think that this. I think there's lots of blips and blue bloops.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, there's.

[Marcus Parks]

I think there's lots of blips and bloops. There's lots of. None of that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

None of that.

[Marcus Parks]

None.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, you know, that would be assuming that one of them crashed.

[Marcus Parks]

Or do they purposely crash themselves in order to gift us crafts? If you believe in one version of the story. Or is there a story where it was the B team that got here and that's why the crashed? Or is it a story about that it was faked all to begin with? Or did we knock it out of the sky? There's that story that we knocked it out of the sky. There's also like this idea that why would they come just to crash? How could they get here and just crash?

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's what I'm thinking. If you're so advanced that you traveled through galaxies to get here.

[Marcus Parks]

Unless you're doing it on purpose. Yeah, unless you're literally doing it on purpose.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We barely crash airplanes. I mean, we do.

[Marcus Parks]

We really try.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We really try.

[Marcus Parks]

We really go for it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There was that one.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, just recently.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that was during an air show.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It always kind of happens during an air show.

[Marcus Parks]

What if to them it doesn't really matter? Matter? No, of course. Nothing like to them like dying doesn't matter. Yeah, of course not. They're just in their ships. Doesn't matter. So like if we believe in any of the lore, they are not here presently. If they are actual biomechanical entities that are being essentially fueled by another intelligence somewhere else, it would make a lot of sense for them to just be expendable corpses out here. Right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I would love if one of them crashed and it had an American flag on it with like. Like 200 stars.

[Marcus Parks]

No, it's gonna be something like that. I can't. Dude, that's what we got to do. That's the fake one we gotta do. We gotta people up, man. But otherwise, like. Because again, it's very interesting and I am. And. And it is.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It.

[Marcus Parks]

It does remind you still that it's a mystery. I feel like that's the key here. It's still a mystery. But look who's doing it. And why are they doing. Doing it. That's the main issue. So Epstein is still very much in play. Also. Watch this here. We do. This is not even. Just do it just for the sake of it. Hit me with the update. Just for the sake of the song. Just like I miss it. It's an island adventure.

[Ed Larson]

Heck yeah.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

It's Jeffrey time.

[Marcus Parks]

It's just good to do. I just wanted to hear it one more time.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I missed.

[Marcus Parks]

It's been a week. So I. There was an article that came out in Rolling Stone that was talking about.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We love Rolling St. Don't we?

[Marcus Parks]

Am I crying? But this a. This something came out with this story about Jeffrey Epstein's Seagate neighborhood.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

And basically this lady that wrote this article was talking about her grandfather was a prolific molester. Now what I don't like about this is I've seen this a couple times.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Times.

[Marcus Parks]

You know what they always do on all my true crime videos? You know this, Rob. You know they do like grandma finds grandfather's horrible secret. We already know. We all know what the secret is. It's all together now. A treasure trove of sea. Now my question.

[Henry Zebrowski]

A baby head in the freezer.

[Marcus Parks]

Sometimes it is. And that was the. That's when I'm relieved. Cuz you know what I also ask, can we stop calling it a treasure trip Grove? Yeah. Because did they have to defeat a dragon to get it?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Did they have to go on. Yeah. Did they have to go on a magical quest?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Are they pirates?

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Looking for booty.

[Marcus Parks]

No crash on the field. Shave the field. That's what I say. So

[Henry Zebrowski]

what was I talking about? The treasure trove from the ck. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

So Jeffrey Epstein grew up in the Seagate neighborhood of Brooklyn, which was this kind of gated community, very fancy for all the millionaires and all the people that had built all these sort of like what they called their seaside escape in southern Brooklyn.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I can't believe there's a nice place near Coney Island.

[Marcus Parks]

It's. It can't be that nice.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It really can't.

[Marcus Parks]

But it's for, it's for the Richie. Richie Rich back in the day. I don't know how it is now, but I do know back in the day was for the Richie Rich and Jeffrey Epstein and this lady. They lived on what was considered to be the poor side of it, which is right up against the gate where they said they could look through the gate and an almost c. Like truly American things. You can look from the rich neighborhood onto the poor neighborhood. You could feel bad for them.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay, right.

[Marcus Parks]

And then so what they did was, is that Jeffrey Epstein, she said she knew him because their side of the. The neighborhood, because they were the lower income side of the fancy part, that was where the stickball came, right? It's all boys playing a stickball. You remember stickball, Rob? We both played stick ball.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Boys, right? Played some stick balls at North.

[Marcus Parks]

It's definitely a Brooklyn affect, right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

So they're on there, they're playing stickball. And for those of you who don't know what stickball is, it's what newsies play. So stickballs are just out there. They're, they're these.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Owner, did you ever play?

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, of course.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You're in New York. I never played stickball.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. With a broomstick.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Literally old fashioned. We used to do it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's cool.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, it was fun. You know me, but boogie down Bronx. And so this lady lived with her mother and grandfather and her grandfather used to do this thing where their house was over on the other side of this fence was considered where the home run marker was. So they would hit the markers, they would hit the stick balls over the fence and the grandfather would go over and collect all the, the fun little balls, right? And he'd bring over and he'd resell them to the kids for half the money that they would buy them from at the store. Right.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And it was Like a little scam you got going.

[Marcus Parks]

It was kind of if he wasn't sucking and everybody. Right. And it turns out that he was sucking her mother.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Right.

[Marcus Parks]

Her mother was sleeping with him in bed, which was a weird affectation that began when she was a daughter. She slept with him in bed. And then eventually her mother graduated her. Her grandfather's bed so that she could be molested by her grandfather. And then her grandfather probably molested the entire neighborhood. Now it seems that it makes kind of sense then that Jeffrey Epstein could have possibly have been molested within this neighborhood. Apparently within the Seagate neighborhood, there was seven child molesters.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Wow.

[Marcus Parks]

In this one area. And it makes sense that he would have been molested.

[Ed Larson]

Did.

[Marcus Parks]

If that's what made him go do it later on, it would make sense that that's how he was taught to do it. Because normally molestation, people hurt people. Normally it comes from somewhere. It's very rarely a brand new thing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Normally it is learned behavior. Normally you have someone did it to you, or I guess you read about it in a how to book.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's one of those things where, like, people are always.

[Marcus Parks]

I hate those dummies. Some of these dummies books are inappropriate. Grooming children from. Yeah, Grooming children from dummies is. Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Grooming children for mummies. Not all. It's wrapped up to be the. Man. But the thing is, it's like, you talk about this, it's like, hurt people, hurt people. It's never all that shit. And it's definitely what happened to this guy here.

[Marcus Parks]

It's very possible. It is quite, quite, quite, quite, quite, quite, quite possible. Who knows? I mean, there's no direct evidence. It is definitely shot in the dark. She kind of just says this out loud, but it makes sense that it would be true. But it's like she recognized him growing up with him. And think about that. Like, that's what she was saying. She was like, I thought of Jeffrey Epstein since I was like eight. Yeah. And then all of a sudden I'm like, Jeff, the New York City financier. You know, like that. The Jim Downey bit, man.

[Henry Zebrowski]

If I would have just been like, oh, my God, Sammy Knepper.

[Ed Larson]

You did what?

[Marcus Parks]

You did what?

[Ed Larson]

I haven't thought of you since.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I was not. Yeah, yeah. Seriously.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, my God.

[Henry Zebrowski]

God.

[Marcus Parks]

Anthony Amarichi. Honestly, Anthony Amoresi. If any of those guys. Bobby Barbarelli. Where are you at? Oh, yeah. These real people.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. I changed one of the names on my person.

[Marcus Parks]

I didn't. Bobby Bobarelli. Where Are you at, bro? I remember you were a six. Sickly boy. You're doing good. Are you alive?

[Henry Zebrowski]

We'll find out.

[Marcus Parks]

Joey Stoffel, you still alive?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Joey Stoffel? He's feeling awful.

[Marcus Parks]

No. See, I hope Joey's still alive. Love, Joey.

Yeah. James Watsack. Where the are you?

[Marcus Parks]

There we go. We got. All right, so let's do. Which one you want to cover of these. Which one will cover these?

[Henry Zebrowski]

This one is, is. I love this story. And we missed it. And because we were, you know, we were working on everything but. U.S. special Forces soldier who took part in the operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was arrested Thursday after allegedly betting on Maduro's removal from office on the poly market.

[Marcus Parks]

So he can literally be. How can he, I guess be fired for insider trading?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Fired? He's going to prison.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. So he bet $33,000 on the Poly that Maduro would be captured, and then they paid out over $400,000.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow. How does one even find the poly market?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I have no idea.

[Marcus Parks]

You just type it in.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I try. I'm not gonna gamble normal, but this is all like, what has turned into gambling. Gambling is too easy. You can lose so much money just sitting on the toilet these days.

[Marcus Parks]

You just Sign up for it, dude. You know. Yeah, I'm looking at this right now. I think in order to do stuff like this, you probably have to be the most broken, bored person on the face of this. This very earth.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Lots of people do it. There was the. The Guardians pitcher, the relief pitcher who just got kicked out of baseball because he was bet. Because now you can bet not only on the games or like, or just. But each pitch you could bet on and he would throw and he was a really good pitcher. He was a relief pitcher. And he would bet. Bet that he. Or he would help people bet that his first throw, his first pitch was going to be a ball. And so he had. So every time he pitched it was a ball. And so people, they realized that because the kiss kept happening, like, why is everyone keep betting that this guy's first pitch is going to be a ball? And then they realized he had made like $100,000. Now he's kicked out of baseball.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow, that's the smartest picture I've ever heard.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I mean, not really. He doesn't play. He's got to go play in Japan or some shit, man.

[Marcus Parks]

That's fine with me. I don't. Why are there so many rules around sports?

[Henry Zebrowski]

What do you mean?

[Marcus Parks]

So many rules? There should be rules.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's the whole thing of sports.

[Marcus Parks]

You feel like in that way it just makes them more competitive in a way.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You know?

[Marcus Parks]

I mean, I feel like you talked about this, like, did you talk about this last week with Cena or somebody? The idea of like, I wish everybody was on human growth hormone.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a fan of the Elevated Games, buddy? Oh, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

I want every athlete to be on it. I want every. Max it out. I think it'd be fun. One is hell.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Which ones are strong?

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, dude, I want to find. I want to. Because what is the Enhanced Games?

[Henry Zebrowski]

The Enhanced Games is happening, I believe this week or next week in Vegas where it is like a bunch of HGH athletes.

[Marcus Parks]

Can you do gymnastics with double D fake tits?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, it's you. It's like, it's like, it's like, wait, not yet.

[Marcus Parks]

It's not that. It's not run with a bbl. He's not one of those, like, can you run with a £20 bbl? That would be amazing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I know what.

[Marcus Parks]

It's truly enhanced.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's for like weightlifting and. And track and field mostly. And so these guys are all going to die. And if you. Oh, for sure. The mountain's a part of it.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, the Mountain's a strong man. The mountain. You're allowed to do that? Yeah, well the mountain there's. You can do peds and stuff like that in mountain. Strong man. Yeah. You could do certain amount steroids up to a point or not even real. Like yes, there's.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There are performance enhancing rampant in like

[Marcus Parks]

bodybuilding but it's in bodybuilding building. Arm wrestling. The guy I just watched the. I have become.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, I don't know why I thought arm wrestling would be pure.

[Marcus Parks]

It is. Are you mean to tell two dudes ten fingers. You, you never Rob. I'm sorry Rob. You've. You're not into arm wrestling? You're not into Devon? Larat bud is my dude, man. The Canadian Wolverine man. Devon Larratt just won his f. Like he just came back from a championship for first time like in years. He came back, he won this brutal match. He shaved his head to look like an old man.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He's this guy. I've seen this guy. No, he's great.

[Marcus Parks]

Devin Larratt is the coolest in the world. He has destroyed he body.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He does seem pretty cool.

[Marcus Parks]

His body. Arm wrestling.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well he. We don't know anything about him.

[Marcus Parks]

No, he's fine. He's fine. I follow him. He's like. He's a Canadian like non kind of like he doesn't talk about anything controversial. All he talks about, he is the number one Michael Jordan of arm wrestling. He is like the face of the sport right now.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay, cool.

[Marcus Parks]

And he learned like. He does stuff where he'll like learn your language and he'll talk shit at you in your language. He's one of the best shit talkers on the face of the planet. And he talks about cycling, tries to look weak. He. No, he tries to look crazy. He's crazy looking. He shaves his head. Yeah, he's just.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

And he talks shit. And he does. But he, he just, he's. He's basically changed the entire sport. But he openly talked about PED use, cycling. You see all those pimples?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

See his face, dude.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So he's all jacked up.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, he's all this in the advanced games because I feel like it's. Because this should totally be a part

[Henry Zebrowski]

of the enhanced games.

[Marcus Parks]

I don't think they're man enough for it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

I don't think they're man enough for arm wrestling. It's a one appendage sport also. You know, I mean that's a bar sport.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I would love to go see this live but it's just like, these guys are so huge. How do you see anything?

[Marcus Parks]

What's you film, you look at, you watch it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You better see on tv sitting behind him and stuff.

[Marcus Parks]

It's better to see it on tv.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah. No, this is.

[Marcus Parks]

This is a TV sport.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's definitely a TV sport.

[Marcus Parks]

So I'm just saying the. He talks about how he uses them and he cycles off and the. So there are ways to use it that are not just like rigid, rampant for this. Yeah, it's sports. What do I give a. Their whole thing is they're trying to break like a bunch of world records on steroids. Yeah, sure.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They're not gonna count.

[Marcus Parks]

No, but they are trying to be like, we did it. Yeah, why not?

[Henry Zebrowski]

And they gave the huge bonuses. Well, it's because the whole thing's funded by Peter Thiel.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, yeah, of course. Everybody. They're all gonna die. Anybody that you can't look up to it, like, it's one of those things with this. That's stupid. That's dumb. You don't look up to that. You just mostly go like. It's like a circus. For me, I view that as sort of like entertainment. If this is what these people. I love people who destroy their body to entertain me. I do. I love it. I love freak show people. I love, like really intense performance artists. Love Ralphie May. When he did to himself for us. That was for us. He got himself that weird and that big to entertain us. And that's why, like, why do you think I do this? Why do you think I'm building this body?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

It's for you. It's for the owner audience.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. He hasn't looked like this forever.

[Marcus Parks]

No, I. No, I don't look like this.

[Henry Zebrowski]

For me, when I met Henry, he was thin as a rail.

[Marcus Parks]

Yep. I put weight on to be a comedian.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Honestly, that is true for Holden.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, that just kind of happened accidentally.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. There's another story I want to talk about, which is breaking. So we're going to learn a lot about this in the coming week. But it like, it rings true or rings similar to the.

[Marcus Parks]

The.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The Ghost adventures. Oh, my God. Yeah. So.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, yeah. I also. I went to Zach Bacon's museum in Vegas.

[Henry Zebrowski]

How was it?

[Marcus Parks]

It was. It was fun. It's way too long.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

So this is the thing I had. I was late for another. This happened again 2 hours, 35 minutes into the tour. I had to go.

[Henry Zebrowski]

How much longer is this?

[Marcus Parks]

They're like, it's at least another hour.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's like, what the. You can't just walk around it like a normal museum.

[Marcus Parks]

No, it's a toured thing. It's really gray. Great. It's truly one of the best haunted attractions I've ever seen. But they constantly show all this footage of people passing out in there and they're like, these are the ghosts effectively

[Henry Zebrowski]

playing the knockout game.

[Marcus Parks]

It's like, I can't guess. But I was like, I actually think the reason why they're passing out is because all of this haze and everybody's on edibles.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. You got to put a. Yeah, you gotta eat a cafe in the middle. Yeah. It's gonna be that long?

[Marcus Parks]

Yes. That's the thing.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's like they're passing out because it's

[Marcus Parks]

three and a half hours long and it's hot in here.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. That's why I don't think it's the girl.

[Marcus Parks]

But otherwise it was fascinating. And I met the doll that cursed the guy from Ghost of P. Y. No, not Peggy.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The other. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Numa. Noma.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Numa Noma.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No.

[Marcus Parks]

So.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So she.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Cuz he was on. He was looking for her.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

When he found out that his wife was trying to kill him.

[Marcus Parks]

No, it was because he looked at the doll once. Oh.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And that. That would turned his wife crazy.

[Marcus Parks]

Hitman. Yep. According to Zach Bagans in his video intro, before you go in, he says he specifically, he's like, this is a doll I will never look at again. And then he's just like. I. I explain. He's like, oh, I saw this doll. I had this thing in here. Me and Carrot Top had like a weird experience. And then he's like. And it led to the hor. The horrendous planning of one of my co host's wife to hire a hitman to murder him.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh my God.

[Ed Larson]

He's cashing in on it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Where he doesn't.

[Ed Larson]

It's like. Have you asked him?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Him?

[Marcus Parks]

I. I did have to. Honestly, I bet you that they must. They must have like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I mean, they released it as part of the TV show.

[Marcus Parks]

Yes.

[Henry Zebrowski]

When it happened, you know, he was just like, this is great.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. What just happened?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yes. That doll's haunted. So Gabby Gonzalez, she's an influencer. She's a cute. Used in a murder to hire plot to kill her boyfriend, singer Jack Avery. All right. Jack Avery was a part of the boy group. Why don't we.

[Marcus Parks]

Sorry. That's the worst name for a group I've. I've ever heard.

[Henry Zebrowski]

They're extremely popular.

[Marcus Parks]

Why don't we. Is the name of A band.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is sliding into UNK territory. They're no. Their number one song, Eight Letters has almost 700 million listens.

[Marcus Parks]

I said Eight Letters is the name of some of it.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

What does it sound. What does it sound like?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I mean, what are they called? It sounds like the forbed. Why don't we. Is the name of the boy band. I don't even know if they're still together or not.

[Marcus Parks]

You guys are just.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's like getting lost on the wrong thing. So Gabby Gonzalez, she was picked up from the airport in Humboldt. Sweet, sweet, humble.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, nothing bad ever happens out there. She was picked up where Murder Mountain was found filmed.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And so basically she wanted. She was alleged conspiracy to kill the father of her daughter, boy band singer Jack Avery. All right, so you're.

[Marcus Parks]

Can we hear a little snippet? Shut that the off. Shut it the off. Can I kill him? Can I be the hitman? Listen, I volunteer. I volunteer to be the hitman. I'll be a hundred dollars. I'll do it myself. Okay? We'll invite him over. I'll poison him, okay? I promise you he'll be dead. Take a chance. Take a chance. Take it off. Shut it off. Let me do it. I'll kill the whole band. Can I say I'll do it for free? Where are they? Where do they live?

[Henry Zebrowski]

They are at least some of them playing instruments. How do you know boy bands go.

[Marcus Parks]

How do you know The Jonas Brothers kind of broke brought that.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, yeah, they're kind of.

[Marcus Parks]

You don't know if that shit's plugged in or not. It doesn't look plugged in.

[Henry Zebrowski]

No, I mean he's got the little earpiece.

[Ed Larson]

Anybody have ir?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I mean, I think that, you know, the music sucks. He could be playing bad music. Henry.

[Marcus Parks]

Wow.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Her father was also arrested. Francisco Gonzalez. And booked with stopping it.

[Marcus Parks]

For stopping it. Is the judge going to issue an execution order for the children?

[Henry Zebrowski]

He was arrested in Florida and he's being extradited to la. Their seven year old daughter Lavender was. They're in a bat. They're in a custody battle for their daughter Lavender.

[Marcus Parks]

Those kid's gonna be fine.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, the kid.

[Marcus Parks]

That kid's gonna be fine. Don't worry about that kid. Don't worry about that. Like a bunch of young bloods. Yeah, this is like a evil army of young bloods.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, I. I think that this guy, he doesn't seem like a horrible person yet. I have.

[Marcus Parks]

I don't.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm just learning his name today. But the guy who they were trying to kill. He's just a bad musician. You know? It's. I don't think that he's really done anything wrong so far. Be a bad dad.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. Of course. Eddie.

[Henry Zebrowski]

But. Yes. So Gabby was arrested last week at Humboldt. And we're gonna see where this is gonna take us. But we have a similar.

[Marcus Parks]

So he's still.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He's still alive.

[Marcus Parks]

So he could still make music.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. It's probably gonna be great for him. Francisco masterminded a plan that dates back to 2021 to track and photograph Jack in Hawaii.

[Marcus Parks]

Why didn' destroy his masters? That's what you should have done. Honestly. I pay for your bail. I'll pay for your bail, lady. Yeah, I'll pay for your bail if you destroy all his masters.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I don't think she could do much of anything.

[Marcus Parks]

She is.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'll pay your bill so you can go visit her.

[Marcus Parks]

I'll pay your bail. You can get out. Smash his guitars. Make sure you can never get to music ever again. And I'll. I'll pay for your life.

[Henry Zebrowski]

She won. So there she was working on getting custody of Lavender. And the plan was to get footage of him smoking and drinking. Drinking. So it could hurt in the custody dispute.

[Marcus Parks]

This. You know. But you know, when it comes down to it, she did it bad. Never. Never bring your dad in on a hitman thing either. Do dads do anything? Right?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah. No.

[Marcus Parks]

That's why your mom stops asking him to do stuff.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

Okay. So don't ask your dad to hook up a hitman for you. Unless your father's a hitman. And if your father's a hitman. Awesome.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So there was a guy named Dustin Braca. He is the alleged hitman. And the cops say that her and her friend Kai Cor. Marjorie tried to get Baraka to.

[Ed Larson]

Or.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Baraka.

[Ed Larson]

Or.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I'm sorry. Br. K. Barka.

[Marcus Parks]

Bark.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Dustin Barka.

[Marcus Parks]

Barka.

[Henry Zebrowski]

That's how she put it together. Yeah. Yeah. She. And then she. Her and her father had Electric electronically paid $10,000 to Kai and for web development payments. And this was apparently to kill you Got it. You can't him out on murder for hire.

[Marcus Parks]

Seriously?

[Henry Zebrowski]

10 grand is not enough.

[Marcus Parks]

It's not enough. You've been saying this really like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

This is like 25g at minimum.

[Marcus Parks]

25g. I say 100 if you want. Really want to kill this guy? This guy? I feel like that's a lot.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I think it's a. A tall order.

[Marcus Parks]

I think you can get 18 grand.

[Henry Zebrowski]

A federal agent poses a hitman got on A phone call with Francisco always.

[Marcus Parks]

And yeah, I'm certain. I'm fine. He can live for now. But he better change his ways. He better quit music if he wants to live. He better quit music.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, okay.

[Marcus Parks]

No, no, honestly that I don't want him nowhere near the daughter. He should not be a father or musician. He should be at a Cold Stone creamery. That's where he should be.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

I got a lot of great feedback from our uncle Corner last week.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, yeah?

[Marcus Parks]

Well, two weeks ago we covered the. All of the. The. The information we had about Deformed our favorite crooner singer, 20 years old. And we asked the question to our audience, why does zoomer music sound like bad versions of older music? Yeah. And I got a lot of very interesting, like, you know, we were. Obviously, we did it in a. In an uncle esque, funny way. Yeah. But I got a lot of very interesting answers.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

From people that consider themselves zoomers or teachers of zoomers.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

And they essentially said that we. Right now the main issue is just how they get music.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Is it.

[Marcus Parks]

So they get music by social media apps?

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

They hear snippets of maybe old songs and then they think that it's a brand new song. Right. Because they just. Only because all they're interested a lot of times is in the social media apps or what is huge on the social media apps and largely especially the more young side of people, which does make sense right now. We are currently. And you could see it around. We're in a. We're in a statics obsessed period.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Okay.

[Marcus Parks]

Like, we're in a. We're in a period right now which has happened. This is not the first time where your fandoms mean who you are. Yeah, Right. You're in this thing now where what you like really depends on how cool the thing is to like it and if it makes you cool to like it. So Deforvid built an aesthetic that these emo 13 year olds liked. And so that's why they all got into it. But now it's like, you know, someone told me to look up other stuff that we would like that are better ambassadors of Gen Z music. People like Chapel, Ron, Sabrina Carpenter. Not for us neither.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Not for us.

[Marcus Parks]

But I get it. Addison Ray. I can't pick out of a lineup's not bad. Charlie xdx is like 45 years old.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I can't do it.

[Marcus Parks]

And then the other ones, like, they're all the same, you know, it's like one of those where she's a Charlie XCX is lying to you. Okay. I love you all. She's lying to you. She's like 10 years older than she says she is. I think it's. I get it. There's certain things that are interesting. I'm not saying that there's no interesting music. It's just the stuff that people do, like is the, like. It's just stuff that I don't get and get hung up on. Like the idea of the young blood who's obviously a hot Topic version of somebody who sings songs. Yeah. But largely, it seems the zoomers do understand, understand that it's just hard to get around all of the social media of it. You were trapped in this world. We're trapped in this like, world of. Of. Of what things mean when you say you like them. Yeah. Like you're already. What you like is putting you in a different category.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, it's different now than it was for us, like, especially in hip hop. I saw one of my favorite beat makers, 9th Wonder. He's unbelievable. He works with Kendrick a lot. He made this interesting post about Drake's new Al and how, like, you know, it's weird that so many young people are so into Drake because hip hop is different now than it used to be.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, Drake is small music.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, here's what I'm saying is when we were younger and consuming hip hop, hip hop was a new art form. It was like 10 years old. It was like 15 years old. All right, so like we were like when Snoop Dogg's album came out, sure, it was like he was like older than us, but. But he was only like four years older than us.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah, he really wasn't that much older than us.

[Henry Zebrowski]

He's really not that much older than us. But then when it comes to like now you got like 12 year olds listening to Drake, who's in his 40s. And so they're not really like listening to their peers as much as they're listening to older, like people who you.

[Ed Larson]

They shouldn't be listen.

[Marcus Parks]

But they're all. And their way they're listening to them is through social media. The way they're listening to them is through just a different way than we discovered music. And they are just not this. It's just not the same. It's like they've discovered a whole new. And it's filtered. These are like, everything's filtered. Everything is already. By the time it's arrived, you. It's already been packaged. It's already been kind of put together in a whole aesthetic. And instead of, you Kind of developing your own by searching. But I do think that what we're going to see is the revamp as well, the kickback as well. I think right now we're just in a period of time where art is bad and art goes up and down.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There is good stuff. It's just not getting shipped out to the mainstream.

[Marcus Parks]

No. Things go up and down. And honestly we should be thankful for these times when we could maybe get to like something that's a little bit more obscure and it can be yours for a little while before it goes mainstream. Like this is a really a wonderful time for independent art in that way, is that there's a lot of people out there championing things that make you loyal. Like there's just something about. There is stuff out there.

[Henry Zebrowski]

I do like a lot of younger artists and I'm not going to mention them because I feel like immediately become lame if I say I like them.

[Marcus Parks]

Well, that's the best part. Yeah, it's like I love wet leg. I like wet leg. Viagra boys.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Game on.

[Marcus Parks]

The sniffers. Doi Love that doichi. That doichi somebody. I don't know who put her together.

[Henry Zebrowski]

She's from your town.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah. I don't know who put that doichi together. River did it. Did it, right. Well, you know, that's how I like it. I watch you like. Oh, it's a heck of a lady. I've seen.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh, Yaya Bay. People should listen to Yaya Bay. Sure. Yeah. So we're in there, you know, you know, enough, enough. But yeah, it's, I think it's just the way that they get their information because they, they hear it on Tick Tock and then it's just like, then it's like four seconds of a song. You don't even know the whole song, much less the body of work from the artist. And so it's a, it's a, it's a shitty way of continuing consuming. Yeah.

[Marcus Parks]

And you can't even say like the word sex on social media. You can't say certain words. So yes, the music that you're also going to get is going to be already filtered to an extreme amount because it's on social media to begin with and which they are treating you somewhere between a four year old, you're somehow, somehow on social media. You're both a four year old that's also a sex worker. And I have no idea how that is. It's just a way they kind of treat us like both and I don't know what you want from us.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Yeah, because Tik Tok we all know is like, it's just filled with young people. Like right now. We lost a Tick Tocker this morning.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, where? Patriotic.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Patriotic Kenny. He. He died at the tender Age of 84. Star patron.

[Marcus Parks]

It's just. It's just a man with an oxygen tank on. What did he do? What bit? I never heard of. Who is Patriotic?

[Henry Zebrowski]

I just can't believe that. TMZ84 Tik Tok star.

[Marcus Parks]

Is he not on our. Is he not on our list? No, man. Man, our list is holding strong. Rudy's looking better than ever.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Shatner fell off a horse, but he

[Marcus Parks]

bounced back on the Cosby's going back on tour. We had some close call. These guys are all getting back up Pat. But Patriotic Kenny died.

[Henry Zebrowski]

We lost him. We lost Pat.

[Marcus Parks]

Do you think it was like a bullet from Korean war that finally worked its way into his heart? It's like one of those, like.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Well, he was doing the tick tock challenge. Swallow a mortar.

[Marcus Parks]

Oh, the hardest part. Oh yeah, you gotta do that anally. So what is he? Is he. What kind of does he. Is he a bad guy or. No, I can't know.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Is he's Patriotic Kenny? Who cares?

[Marcus Parks]

He probably did bad things at some point. As soon as I hear the word patriotic, it makes me suspicious.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It really does. It really. I used to love being it, but you know, what are you gonna do? But, oh, but yeah, so these young tick tocker dropping like flies. Got to be careful.

[Marcus Parks]

Fentanyl. They got him fentanyl. It's because they put fentanyl in his Metamucil and that's what took him down.

[Henry Zebrowski]

All right, you know what?

[Marcus Parks]

Bye, Patriotic Kenny. Thanks for making a little bit more room in Florida.

[Henry Zebrowski]

Oh my God. Well, this has been fun.

[Marcus Parks]

This really has been fun. I mean, we kind of went through the other letters.

[Henry Zebrowski]

There's. There's other things I wanted to talk about, but you know, there's the billionaire's son who pushed him off a cliff. This.

[Marcus Parks]

God, so funny. So funny. Like, you know, it's also just shows too. Like I just. Just so happy we don't have kids. Yeah, just so happy we don't have kids. That's all they want to do is kill you. That's all they want to do. It's all they plan. Yeah, it's only plan to do is use your death.

[Henry Zebrowski]

It's like if you have a billion dollars and a child, make sure they do their homework or they're gonna push you off a mountain while you guys

[Marcus Parks]

are Hiking as they just sit there going like, daddy doesn't give me anything. Daddy, don't. Daddy. Push Daddy off the cliff. Push. Ding. And that's all they think about. You've given him everything. Yeah, but you know, you've given him everything.

[Henry Zebrowski]

The times are a changing, you know,

[Marcus Parks]

honestly, live every day going on the same trail hikes as billionaires so you can love pushing them off a mountain. Then you laugh as their spindly bodies plummet towards the ravine below and smash down on the blood covered rocks.

[Marcus Parks]

A real musician. A real one.

[Henry Zebrowski]

A real musician. Part of the West Coast. Get down. Ryan Porter, the greatest trombone player who ever lived. Kamazi Washington's trombone player, which we saw. We saw. And he's unbelievable. Probably the greatest. He was the greatest alive. Listen to his album Live at New Morning Paris. Or the Optimist. Truly amazing. He worked with the nine ninth Wonder, who I mentioned earlier a lot. He was on Kendrick Lamar albums. You love Ryan Porter.

[Marcus Parks]

You have no idea.

[Henry Zebrowski]

You love him. But he was in a car accident, unfortunately his same age as me. And it's just so sad to see these guys go right at the head. He was just about to like, pop. He was like. He really was. And because jazz in LA is like finding its way and so they.

[Marcus Parks]

So awesome.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So this is my parasocial relationship, by the way.

[Marcus Parks]

Yeah.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So like, so I'm. This, this, like, this is like if I died to you. So, you know, experience. So just. I'm sad about Ryan Porter. Please go listen to his album the Optimist.

[Marcus Parks]

It's great.

[Henry Zebrowski]

And I love you guys.

[Marcus Parks]

I know.

[Henry Zebrowski]

So wear your seat belts. I don't know if he was or not, but just wear it anyway.
