Transcript

[Mackenzie]

My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis and we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

And we love and appreciate each and every one of y' all and I hope you're doing well in the spring season. And let me tell you what happened when this day, April 14, back in 1865.

[Cindy Overton]

You can't calculate your birthday this time.

[Woody Overton]

I cannot. I wouldn't even begin to try. But this is a probably one of the most infamous crimes of all time. And on this day in 1865, John Wilkes Booth snuck into Abraham Lincoln's private viewing box at the Ford Theater. You and I went to.

[Cindy Overton]

I was gonna say we can connect still.

[Woody Overton]

We went to the. We sat in the basement where they actually planned this assassination. But the. He snuck into the viewing box and shot President Abraham Lincoln with a.44 caliber single shot derringer pistol. It shot him in the back of the head, y'. All. Dr. Charles Lee Lillian quickly responded to the screams of the first lady and found President Lincoln barely breathing and paralyzed. And now the president lived through the night, but he died the next morning.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, it's sad. And he, you know, of course they were all called in. I don't know, shitty time in american history.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So there you have it. That's what happened on this day in 1865. So that being said, let's get down some true crime time for this Tuesday. What you got? Beast mode.

[Cindy Overton]

We're going to San Antonio for this first story.

[Woody Overton]

San Antonio, Texas. We were just showing our son the airman's videos from their, the, their basic training. Yeah, Air force personnel go through basic training there in san Antonio.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, well, this is not basic training or air force. A man was arrested after sending explicit messages and videos or images to an undercover u. S. Secret service analyst. The she was posing as a 16 year old girl. So on April 10, Aurelio Benjamin Carrera, 47, was arrested after engaging in sexually explicit communication with the undercover analyst. The Internet crimes against children investigation was conducted on February 25, and they utilized an online profile on a messaging application called whisper secrets.

[Woody Overton]

We got a new app every day, huh?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. And a search warrant was executed on March 25 at Cirellis's house after a sting operation and he attempted to seduce a detective posing as a 16 year old girl.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, you're having a bad day.

[Cindy Overton]

He was booked into jail on March 25 and bonded out two days later. But during the investigation, detectives seized a cell phone that was in the man's possession and obtained a warrant to search it. And when they looked at the phone, they found of course, various files. And deputies uncovered photos involving child pornography and bestiality, which is why I called it beast mode. Yeah, because he is a beast himself.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, absolutely. And then, I mean, he just thought he was going to get hated on for raping babies. Add in raping animals to that. He's gonna have a good time in prison.

[Cindy Overton]

The sheriff's office said investigators applied for and were granted three arrest warrants. One for possession of child pornography, a third degree felony. One for possession of child pornography involving a child under 10 years of age, which is a second degree felony, and then one for bestiality, which is a state jail felony. So thank goodness they caught him. But I mean, whisper, whatever, I don't know who. How do you find that?

[Woody Overton]

There's so many apps and, and you know, these people used for nefarious reasons. I remember when nextel came out, when we had them, the sheriff gave us next cell phones you could communicate like a walkie talkie also. I mean I called it straight up outlaw phone. Yeah. But now it's apps. The course of the Internet, they didn't have apps like that back then. So there you have that. It's time for family matters going out to Indiana and a couple was arrested after their mouners toddler died and deplorable living conditions and the investigator said the child had eaten pieces of diapers and drywall before his death and that the parents waited roughly 14 hours after last seeing him alive to call 911. So Trevor Rashard Hayes, 39, and Katherine Carter, 31, are facing murder and neglect charges because of the death their two year old Eric Richard and according to the tail City Police Department officers found the child dead at around 1:20pm on March 31 after Richard Hayes called 911 to report that his wife found their son not breathing well. The cops get there and and the couple tells them that the last time they saw their son alive was around 11pm the the responding officers and medics performed CPR on a 2 year old, but the child was pronounced dead at the scene. Said I could tell based on my training and experience the child had been deceased for several hours. The child was blue and pale. This will be one of the detectives wrote in this probable cause arrest warrant. The boy was extremely skinny and covered with dozens of sores or bug bites. He also weighed just 15 pounds, about half of what a child's age should weigh. So Carter told police that Eric had been eating his diapers and the detective suspected the child had been eaten in his diapers due to the hunger. It's all in the rest. Warrant investigators found that the home, which also had two other kids in it, was in horrible condition and the other children were removed, including one who was hospitalized, severe malnutrition and dehydration. Detective said he observed poor living conditions that included feces on the floor in the two children's room, as well as an abundance of drywall and paint chips, dirt and pieces of diaper lying everywhere, as well as a plethora of insects and bugs in the home. In one bedroom, officers found a small child's bed, pieces of diaper and drywall, debris all over the floor, and a training toilet full of feces and urine that appeared hadn't been cleaned in days or perhaps even weeks. It's all an arrest warrant. But despite the children's bedrooms being in deplorable condition, the parents oh great. They were living in a clean and well kept bedroom, the warrant said. The pair's bedroom had nice bedding and their bed was made and there was no extreme clutter and it was clean, unlike the remainder of the home. So an autopsy showed the boy's colon contained foreign material with a gel like substance in small white pieces. These findings were consistent with the gel found in the diapers worn by the baby as well as the material of the diaper itself. Some of the white material removed from the colon was also consistent with drywall, paint chips or spackling errors caused the death was determined to be severe malnourishment and severe dehydration as a result of neglect. According to the affidavit, Indiana has the death penalty.

[Cindy Overton]

I was thinking about that when you said that he ate the diaper because those have that absorbent.

[Woody Overton]

How hungry do you have to be to eat drywall and diapers?

[Cindy Overton]

I don't know.

[Woody Overton]

Starving and just, just, just a young two year old baby.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. That is so Amber Ember's age.

[Woody Overton]

It's time for effed up professionals.

[Cindy Overton]

We have a 27 year old Texas woman who, thank goodness, I hate to say it, but when you hear the story, she's been sentenced to death for brutally murdering a pregnant young mother who hired her to photograph her engagement and wedding in an elaborate scheme to steal the child. So this all began to unfold after Taylor Renee Parker, who was then 27 years old, was pulled over for speeding on a highway. This happened way back in October of 2020. The photographer told the state trooper that pulled her over that she was just, she had just given birth on the side of the road and that her baby required medical attention. And she was in DeKalb, Texas. And they decided that the closest hospital was going to be in Oklahoma. So they went over state lines and they went to Oklahoma to take her to the closest hospital. Like I said, the officer brought both of them to a nearby hospital in Oklahoma where the baby girl was pronounced dead. But suspicion began to arise among the staff at the hospital, which was McCurtain Memorial Hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma. And investigators determined that the baby did not actually belong to Parker, but was rather torn out of the womb of 21 year old Reagan Simmons Hancock. So then authorities found that Simmons Hancock was brutally murdered in Texas by Parker while she was seven and a half months pregnant with her daughter.

[Woody Overton]

Texas put them motherfuckers on death row.

[Cindy Overton]

Simmons Hancock had previously hired Parker to photograph her engagement and wedding. Then the victim's mother testified that she was surprised that the duo were in touch and believed they connected after her daughter announced her pregnancy. So she goes on social media, announces that she's pregnant, the photographer gets back in touch with her. Well, the autopsy reported that the Simmons Hancock skull was bludgeoned with a hammer and her body was stabbed more than 100 times before her unborn baby was taken out of her with a scalpel. The mother was then report. The mother then was left to die with her three year old daughter with her. Parker was promptly arrested and booked into custody on third degree murder and kidnapping charges. She was later convicted of capital murder in October of 2022 and sentenced to death. She attempted to appeal the conviction in 2022 but was denied a new trial in 2025 which left her on death row. Investigators determined that Parker's premeditated premeditated the murder plot as part of a larger scheme to stop her boyfriend from leaving. And the district attorney described the woman as an actress of the highest order. And they said that she went to extreme lengths to convince others that she was pregnant, which included buying a fake pregnant belly, faking ultrasounds, having a gender reveal party and sharing her pregnancy on social media. She, even after she took the baby, murdered the mom and took the baby out of her. She grabbed the placenta and left it on the side of the road so that way her story would make sense when you know, if she was pulled over or whatever.

[Woody Overton]

Too much.

[Cindy Overton]

That is way too much.

[Woody Overton]

Just absolutely out the box. I mean, evil exists in all forms, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Planes, trains and automobiles and you know cheerleading is a big thing and now it's a sport, right? Back in our day it wasn't and they do these competitions all over the United States and everywhere else, right? I got nieces and that did we got a lot of friends, kids who do it well, they have to get from point A to point B for these competitions. And there was a teenage girl on her way to a cheerleading competition in Florida. She got on Frontier Airlines and didn't go real well for her. So she this said there was an overserved and unreasonably supervised and already intoxicated passenger who drunkenly tried to force himself on this teenager and of course it ruined her trip and led to his arrest. But prior to the assault, the 17 year old Suburban Philadelphia resident says a fellow passenger who's 32 was visibly drunk and engaged in unwanted touching of a flight attendant, but that the cabin crew still continued to bring him drinks. But I don't know what flight they were wanting because they cut me off at a heartbeat on the point right for one time tried to feed me just tomato juice instead of a Bloody Mary.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, you weren't groping anybody. I don't know what you were doing.

[Woody Overton]

I was just hammered. Anybody this dude was drunk and then look, if you grow up a flight attendant you would think your ass is going to jail. But maybe the flight attendant wanted to. I don't know, won't speculate on that. And. But they kept bringing them drinks. And when the team was finally able to break free, flight attendants joked with each other while mocking the situation in front of her. It's all in the complaint. Now, when cops came aboard the plane when it landed, the passenger became combative with police as he was dragged away. They skull drug him?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And the point goes on to say that the experience wrecked the girl's ability to perform in the cheer contest, and the lasting psychological effects have since forced her to abandon her dream of becoming a firefighter. Well, the Frontier airline officials, I think I've only flown them, like, once. And the attorneys defending the budget carrier, they. They haven't responded, you know, to the alleged complaint. But the guy, he was booked in for. In criminally charged for resist and arrest, but not for the. The assault itself.

[Cindy Overton]

What?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, it didn't really make sense, does it? So sounds like they got a problem. All right, let me tell you a couple more of the details of what actually happened. So this. This teenager boarded this flight, 38555, which was on the way to Orlando. In the team was unaccompanied. You don't have to be right. You're a teenager. You. You can fly by yourself. You used to do that all the time. So she took her seat in a window toward the rear of the aircraft as the passenger behind. Who? The. The passenger who did the assault made his way down the aisle and sat down in the middle seat next to her and said he already had a smell alcohol and other signs of intoxication. And a woman traveling with the teen was assigned a seat in the middle of the cabin, which is obviously some distance away. She's in the back, they said. Almost immediately and throughout the flight, the passenger, the drunk date manifested disruptive behavior, including unwanted physical contact with a flight attendant. And it said he became intoxicated to a very high level during the flight. The complaint specifically says an unidentified flight attendant serve the passenger three Tito's vodka cocktails at the beginning of the flight, after which he attempted to strike up a conversation with the team. She made it clear she did not want to engage with the pasture and began playing a game on her phone to emphasize point like leave alone. Still, the past year persisted in trying to interact with her. And despite the past years, continued disruptive behavior and increasing signs of intoxications. Agents of the airline, the. The flight attendant sold two more Tito's vodkas to the pasture. They must be hurting for some money.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, they might get money Commission off of their sales.

[Woody Overton]

Five vodkas in in after five bakas, it took a dark turn. With roughly an hour to go, the passenger began to grope the teenager's legs, arms and hands while attempting to kiss her neck. Oh, is it the assault and complain. It says the teen recalled in response. But the passenger kept at it, touching the teen inappropriately as he pressed his nose and mouth toward her, trying to kiss her. And then the teens trapped between the wall, the aircraft and this drunk dude who by now had her in a reasonable which I agree with this fear of further imminent assault. Right. I mean you're not going to stop. Eventually the person in the seat on the other side, the drunk dude, realized what was happening and vocally objected to this behavior. Like hey, but the. You need to quit. When the other passenger got up to notify a flight attendant, the teen also tried to exit the road. But the passenger, the drunk dude, refused to let her pass. So that's kidnapped. Several minutes later, the complaint says the passenger finally permitted the team to get out and she reported the assault to one of the flight attendants who put her in a different seat for the remainder of the flight. And that's when she said some of the flight attendants joke with each other about and about the assault right in front of the team. And when of course I told you the rest. So the. When the cops got on, he became combative. Well dumbass, you're not going to win that fight. And they struggled and bounced him around and just skull dried him out. And again he was charged with assault on law enforcement officer and resist an arrest. And. But which. Both misdemeanors but nothing on. On attacking the kid or the flight attendant.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't understand that.

[Woody Overton]

Yep, I don't either. So there you go. Planes, trains and automobile.

[Mood.com Announcer]

It's time for dum dum in the court.

[Woody Overton]

It's a twofer.

[Cindy Overton]

All right, back to back. Well, a routine traffic stop in Northern California such thing, right?

[Woody Overton]

Routine gets you killed.

[Cindy Overton]

It quickly escalated into a double homicide investigation and which led to the arrest of two individuals. The incident was a seemingly minor infraction and just completely demonstrates how rapidly what you say is not. No one's ever there's not a routine traffic stop. So what they were considering like an everyday encounter with law enforcement.

[Woody Overton]

You don't call it routine if you think it would be another routine traffic stop. That's when you get killed.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. Well, California Highway Patrol shared details in a press release about the two individuals who were taken into custody after officers made a horrifying Discovery they found a dead body in a car while attempting to stop a vehicle for an expired registration in Clear Lake, California. Officers initially tried to pull over a 2000 Chevy Suburban which was traveling on State Route 53. A registration violation is a fairly common reason for a police officer to stop a car. The driver of the Suburban refused to stop and obviously that immediately raised red flags and it led into the. Into a pursuit. The officers followed the car to 18th Avenue near Oak street where the vehicle finally came to a stop. But at that point the passenger, he

[Woody Overton]

ran like a little bitch.

[Cindy Overton]

And then police eventually managed to capture the man and identified him as 37 year old Alex Kenneth Schuusselin. Meanwhile, the driver remained with the vehicle at the scene and he was identified as 32 year old Jaslyn Pearl Critchett. And both are from Clear Lake.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

While the officer was talking to the driver they noticed something disturbing blood inside the vehicle.

[Woody Overton]

Nothing like seeing a little blood spatter.

[Cindy Overton]

And the officer traced the blood to the near passenger area of the Suburban where they also then made the next discovery which was an unresponsive adult male.

[Woody Overton]

There you have it.

[Cindy Overton]

The person was later pronounced dead at the scene and officers immediately launched a full scale homicide investigation. The initial traffic spot stop obviously despite its tragic outcome was legally justified from the start. It just happened upon it which.

[Woody Overton]

How many times I was thinking about on the way back from Dallas this weekend when y' all were sleeping in the car and I'm driving down the interstate late at night, I'm thinking how many of these cars have a dead body?

[Cindy Overton]

Right. This is the perfect.

[Woody Overton]

Pretty sure I'm the only one that thinks like that. No, but I'm seriously think about it. If I pass a thousand cars a night that one of them had a dead body.

[Cindy Overton]

How many times was Derek Todd Lee on the road planting someone a kind of in that area? How many?

[Woody Overton]

I didn't say that.

[Cindy Overton]

No, I'm saying it's rightfully so. Like your thoughts. I. I believe. Well anyway under the fourth amendment pulling over a vehicle and detaining its occupants counts as a seizure. But according.

[Woody Overton]

Well so you could. You can pull them over but there. There's not a reasonable in to the stop in sight. Meaning like you ask for permission to search card and tell you go yourself you can hold the car if you have probable cause to get a K9. If the K9 is going to not going to be there in a reasonable amount of time, then you have to let them go. If you're still going to hold the car till the K9 gets there three hours later or whatever it may be.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, they said, according to Cornell Law School, a routine traffic stop like this one is permissible if the police officer had a reasonable suspicion that the occupant is. Occupant is unlicensed. Or in this case, the vehicle was unregistered.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

So the officer doesn't have to have the reasonable. Like everything you just said.

[Woody Overton]

Well, if. If it's not registered.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

Then it's breaking the law.

[Cindy Overton]

And then when the driver refused to stop and the passenger fled, that situation then escalated.

[Woody Overton]

Right.

[Cindy Overton]

So this is the discovery of blood and an unresponsive person then provided a very clear, reasonable suspicion of criminal activities. And there's. Which has given rise to a legitimate. What they're calling a Terry stop.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. This is a state versus Terry, and

[Cindy Overton]

Which allows officers to expand their investigation, but not beyond the initial.

[Woody Overton]

Yes. That's not true. The. The case. If I stop you for a traffic violation and then I notice that you have that odor of alcoholic beverages on your person, you never say, oh, I smelled beer on them, or whiskey or whatever. You have to always write it up as an odor of. Then that takes you into a whole different criminal area. Right. And that's permissible because you stopped them for the original violation. Now, if your original violation is it's fruit of the poisonous tree and everything that's found out afterwards. Dead body in the car, but it got thrown out.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. Well, this leads to another horrible discovery. Officers continued their investigation and identified a possible additional victim who was. Was most likely connected to the incident, and led them to search an area surrounding State Route 175, which is located near Mendocino county line, and led them to a woman's body found on an embankment.

[Woody Overton]

Keeps on giving.

[Cindy Overton]

So they didn't release any additional details about the two deceased individuals, but.

[Woody Overton]

Well, you know what? Them are in trouble now.

[Cindy Overton]

They found a gun somewhere around the scene too.

[Woody Overton]

That's some explaining to do.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

EBS in trouble. All right, let's talk about this for a minute, because I, you know, when AI first came out, I really didn't think much about it. And then we all got it on our phones, and now I'm, like, pretty much the king of using AI like, we're in a nursery getting for our garden, and I'm shooting pictures of different plants. Or yesterday that we had this big swarm and they look like termites. I don't think they were, but because I saw them all over Facebook last night, everybody's like, it's biblical proportions of these bugs. And so everybody had it all through Watson and everywhere else, all the way down to here. I'm talking y' all walked outside, doesn't watch rice and barbecue, drink a beer. And then an outdoor kitchen. And I couldn't breathe. There were millions of these things. And I texted you and I said, can't. Can't sit out here. And I went back inside and went back out. Like 15 minutes later, they were all gone. But anyway, AI but I took a picture of them. AI right. And the use it for everything in. In AI mode and just use it all the time. Well, some people, and I know it's. They use it for sex shed and stuff now too. But some people use it for different reasons and this is actually a.

[Woody Overton]

Dumb dumb in the court. Gonna be a dum dum in the court. So we're going to Florida now. Check this out. Cops are just like firemen. You don't make your real money. You don't do it to get rich. But you know, I used to make my all my side money on my court subpoenas. Back then they paid you $25 a subpoena up to three a day. $75. Back when I was in uniform, patrol was a hell of a lot of money. And I was there. I had a lot of days. I had five or six subpoenas, but that's how I made my money. We didn't have extra details. Well, most major departments do, like your big retail stores or whatever. You'll see a deputy in there in uniform and their vehicles parked out front. Well, it's a crime deterrent, right? Right. Until it's not. And some people take this AI thing and then people said that, you know, this could be into the world and AI is doing this or whatever. Well, you do some pretty crazy shit. And a dude in Florida is facing criminal charges and they stick with me on this one. After authorities say he's AI to stage a fake patrol car break in. That triggered a real police response and investigation. And you know why he did it all to Become to go viral. Listen to this. According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, 25 year old Alex Martinez Arizala was arrested after he presented a deputy with a fabricated video which showed people breaking into this deputy smart patrol car outside of sporting goods store in Lake Mary, Florida. That's right.

[Mackenzie]

This.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, you can't think this is going to end well for you. This obviously wasn't thought through. So the incident happened when Martinez Arizala approached the deputy inside the store and said, hey, I just saw a bunch of people breaking into your patrol car. And Debbie's like, what? And then he's like, yeah, look here, man. And he shows him a short video on his phone and it showed the. The suspects breaking into the police car.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And he's like, what the.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah. And he goes running.

[Woody Overton]

So the deputy runs out and he goes outside and he's approached the patrol car. I mean I'm sure he had his hand on his weapon in case they're still there. But he gets to the vehicle and it's all locked up and nothing's been disturbed.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah, but meanwhile, what's smart boy doing?

[Woody Overton]

Deputy's like, what the. And then he's like, you know what? I'm pretty sure I better call this in. He's got it on video, right? I mean it's legit. Is. Well, investigators got called out. Investigators looked at the video name, looked at the car, and they were like, you know what? More than one camera around this. So they pull the surveillance cameras and they determined that no one had gone near the patrol vehicle during the time frame shown in this AI clip. So the being the brilliant detectives they are, they concluded the video had been digitally manipulated using artificial intelligence or otherwise known as a deep fake. Deputies compare the video with the store surveillance footage and investigators were able to confirm that the crime never occurred. And then what do you think they did? He. He's now viral because he's on our show. They arrested Martinez Arizala. Well, they made a warrant for him and then they had to go find him. And they found him. In San Juan, Puerto Rico. What this? Not even he fled the country. Now he gets a free flight back to the country and to Seminole county to face charges. But check this out. The detective said the stunt was not random. And they found Martinez Arzala had posted content related to the encounter on social media, which suggested the incident was staged to generate views and engagement online. In the case, they said reflects a growing trend on platforms like TikTok where creators use AI tools to produce increasingly realistic Prank videos which are designed to go viral. And law enforcement officials warn that while such content may appear harmless, it can have real world consequences. Especially when you go in and you show it to a cop and you know they're going to respond. It's emergency response. Yeah, I mean it's just. What a idiot then. Martinez Arzella is now facing multiple charges including fabricating physical evidence, making a false report to law enforcement, unlawful use of a communication device, and knowingly providing false information about a crime. And at least one of those y' all is a felony, which is a fabricated evidence. And he is, he's, he's only got a $7,000 bond. When he returns to Florida, he gets out for seven, seven grand. So to tell you real quick about him, the cops say that Martinez Arzalo that he is a social media content creator whose videos often involve AI generated scenarios. The reports indicate he has built a following by producing similar prank style content, sometimes involving deceptive or stage situation. Law enforcement agency in Florida say they have encountered him before an unrelated incidents involving AI generated content. That's why Dumb dumb in the court. You know this motherfucker's going to court. If I was a judge, I'd be like, okay, I'm about to set a worldwide precedent with your ass. Because I mean, you can't tell. There's you. I, I don't know how to do that. But you can't, you cannot tell the difference between the fake video and the real video. That's how good AI is.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, what do you do? Go to AI and say create a video. You take a picture of the cop car. Say create a video of people.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, so you could say take a picture of the cop car, create a video of it flying to the moon.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes, you can.

[Woody Overton]

So I could do that right now.

[Cindy Overton]

You could do that right now.

[Woody Overton]

That's crazy. I don't want to get, go down that fucking wormhole.

[Cindy Overton]

There's a page in Baton Rouge. I don't remember the name of a Baton Rouge something or other. And a guy. I thought it was real. The first time I saw it. I was like, this is some crazy stuff. Opening day of turkey season. He was like, the turkeys are whatever. And there's turkeys crossing the street in downtown Baton Rouge. I'm like, there's no way that happened.

[Woody Overton]

That's what I'm saying. That's kind of shit I would get into doing stupid shit.

[Cindy Overton]

And it's, and it's obviously fake. It's obviously fake. And he does little Things like that all the time that are very creative and fun funny. Not felonious or malicious in any way.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, but what. Okay, I get it on the turkeys and, and maybe different funny things. But what possesses you to think that it's funny that you're going to create a video of multiple people breaking into the same cop car? You go running the stores, hey, dude, they're breaking in your cop car. Motherfucker. Is not going to end well for you.

[Cindy Overton]

And why would that go viral?

[Woody Overton]

I guess he videoed the cop running out and he said haha is fake.

[Cindy Overton]

That's, that's wrong.

[Woody Overton]

Well, he, he may or may not. He probably won't get the five Tito's vodkas on the Frontier Airlines on the way back. And he won't get to grope a cheerleader or, or a flight attendant and get skull drug. But he's going to be flying Con Air and his ass is done as it should be.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

So I don't want to, I don't want to go viral that bad.

[Cindy Overton]

Think of the dumb in the court. The new laws that are going to have to be created.

[Woody Overton]

Polish procedure manual. Everything in there is because somebody something up. This AI stuff is just whack.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, I, I like to use it. I got to the point. I mean, I was thinking about the other day when I'm shooting a picture of something, something random, and you get an AI and it gives you a brief thing that says, do you want to go in full AI mode? And I'm like, yep. And sometimes it doesn't always get it right.

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

But you have all that. And I'm thinking, me, when I was a kid, we had encyclopedias.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And if you were very lucky, if you had a full set at home, because then some cost like a hundred thousand dollars.

[Cindy Overton]

Not really.

[Woody Overton]

But they were expensive. But even schools were lucky if they had a full set. And you want to know about the little bug that was flying around yesterday. You go look it up in encyclopedia and guess what? It probably wasn't there.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

I mean, how can you even know

[Cindy Overton]

how to look for it?

[Woody Overton]

You can't put everything in print. I'm in the, in the shops with my mom in an antique shop. So I'm looking at some turquoise shit and taking pictures to see the value. Yeah. Or if it's real. Yeah. Or, you know, what does AI say about this and what have you. But he used it for everything.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

It's crazy, I know.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, the things that I bought with your mom this past weekend. I scanned it and immediately it came up the regular. Like what store to go to to get it and what the regular price of it was.

[Woody Overton]

And it's crazy when you start doing some fake AI for real life, Real crime.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Then y' all let us know if it's fake or not.

[Cindy Overton]

Would I could guarantee you the ones you think are fake are actually real.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

His hoodie does some crazy stuff.

[Woody Overton]

I did do some stupid yesterday would have been hilarious.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, that's AI.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

That's gonna be.

[Woody Overton]

You don't want anybody to know in the family climbing like in a monkey. Like a monkey on trying to get leaves out from the winter time.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And a beer in the other hand.
