2. Charlamagne’s Commentary on “Human Models” (03:23–05:40)

• Charlamagne jokes about generational differences, linking the suspect’s age to “bad manufacturing batches” post-1985:

  “...after about ’83, ’84, definitely ’85, the universe just started making any old body. ... God got busy ... so God regulated some duties and the manufacturing of humans changed drastically.” (04:00, Charlamagne)

3. Absurdity of the Motive (05:40–06:35)
